Watch WWE's Tribute To Connor "The Crusher" Michalek
Do you have a pulse?
If you do, this video will hit you. Hard.
Connor "The Crusher" Michelek loved WWE and superstar wrestler Daniel Bryan. In 2012, a video of Connor on YouTube helped spur a movement. He wanted to meet his favorite wrestler. When that message got to the WWE and Bryan, they agreed. Connor and Daniel met in Pittsburgh at a WWE show that year.
When Connor was 3 years old, he was diagnosed with brain and spine cancer. He battled for five years.
Earlier this year, Connor's dad told the WWE that he did not have long. So, the WWE invited Connor to Wrestle Mania.
You should watch the video for the rest.
The WWE receives a ton of criticism. But, this is one thing they definitely get right. John Cena, for example, has granted over 400 requests for the Make-a-Wish Foundation, more than anybody else.

Ship Weight:0.26 Kirk's Natural - Deodorant Glycerin Vegetable Soap Bar Blue - 4 oz. Kirk's Natural Deodorant Glycerin Vegetable Soap Bar Blue is made with pure vegetable base, contains NO animal by-products, NO preservatives, and never tested on animals. Kirk's Natural Deodorant Glycerin Vegetable Soap Bar Blue contains a formula that is extremely mild and hypoallergenic. Kirk's Natural Deodorant Glycerin Vegetable Soap Bar contains tea tree oil to reduce bacteria and natural vegetable protein to reduce mal-odor. Rosemary and sage are also included in Kirk's Natural Deodorant Glycerin Vegetable Soap Bar to help stimulate, heal and refresh skin. Kirk's Natural Deodorant Glycerin Vegetable Soap Bar has excellent solubility, rinsibility and does not leave any residue on the skin. Kirk's Natural Deodorant Glycerin Vegetable Soap Bar has a light delicate herbal fragrance with floral background and woody undertones. No Animal By-Product Never Tested On Animals No Preservatives FAQ Kirk's Bar Soap What are the ingredients in Kirk's bar soap? Coconut Oil, Soap of Coconut, Vegetable Glycerin and Water. Kirk's bar is made by a centuries-old, time honored process by mixing coconut oil with caustic soda. Caustic soda is made from sea salt. Coconut oil is thus converted to coconut soap, which is technically called sodium cocoate. During the process of making coconut soap, glycerin is also produced since glycerin is a part of natural coconut oil. This glycerin is left in Kirk's soap to give moisturization properties and make it less harsh to skin compared to other commercial soaps in which this natural glycerin is removed by a chemical separation process. Kirk's soap is the most natural process soap made in the USA today. What kind of fragrance does Kirk's use in their soap? Kirk's fragrance is a special blend of mostly natural and some synthetic materials. Synthetic materials have been tested for product safety by manufacturer and approved by FDA. Do they use any lye in the soap? Yes, lye (made from sea salt) is used to convert coconut oil into soap. The soap has been made by this old process since biblical times. However, Kirk's soap contains no free lye or lye residues in it. All traces of residual lye are fully neutralized in our soap-making process. If the fragrance is synthetic, why does the label say all natural? Because 99% plus ingredients are natural and fragrance is mostly derived from natural materials. Even if the fragrance used is considered as masked fragrance, what is the guarantee that it would not cause any allergies? The ingredients of most modern-day fragrances are tested for allergic reactions. Only the materials which pass this test are used in fragrance blending. How long would a bar soap last with an average usage? About a month or about 20 long showers. It depends on the usage though. What is the shelf life of Kirk's bar soap? Kirk's bar has an unlimited shelf life. The bar is still usable even if it has discolored after a very long storage period. Can Kirk's be used for enema? Kirk's bar can be used for enema. However, all soap products may cause some irritation if used for enema, so this should not be practiced too frequently. We would recommend to consult your doctor before you use Kirk's for enema. What is Kirk's pH? 9.6 in 1% solution water. Is Kirk's Kosher? Although Kirk's doesn't carry the "circle U" symbol for kosher products, it is animal free. There has not been sufficient consumer interest to warrant seeking Kosher certification, which entitles the traditional rabbinical code of manufacturing (regular inspection by a rabbi, etc.) What does Castile mean? Today, Castile refers to soaps made without animal fats. Is Kirk's biodegradable? Kirk's is completely biodegradable. All surfactants used in Kirk's are biodegradable. This means all surfactants (sudsing/cleaning agents) are broken down into simpler compounds by natural biological action helping to eliminate sudsing/foaming problems in lakes and streams. What are the health effects of Kirk's soap? Eye: The product is mild enough that no damage or irritation should occur. In the event that irritation does occur, warm water poured over the bridge of the nose for a couple of minutes should be enough. If symptoms persist, a doctor should be consulted. Ingestion: The product is not poisonous. If a large quantity is ingested, it may cause vomiting. In the occasion that this happens, dilute it with fluids, such as milk, water, or juice. Skin: The product contains no irritations or allergens. An adverse reaction, while unusual is most likely due to individual allergies. Kirk's Liquid Products How long would the various Kirk's Liquid Products last with average usage? These are estimates and personal usage may vary: Kirk's Liquid Soap: One ounce should provide about 20 hand washings. That's over 300 hand washings per 16 oz. bottle. Kirk's Body Wash: One ounce should give you 10-15+ long showers or 160-240+ long, luxurious showers per 16 oz. bottle. Kirk's Shampoo: One ounce should be sufficient for 10-15+ shampooings or 160-240+ shampoos per 16 oz. bottle. Kirk's Conditioner: One ounce should provide about 8+ conditionings or 125+ uses per 16 oz. bottle. What is the shelf life of Kirk's Liquid Products? The liquid products have a shelf life of 5 years. If there are synthetic ingredients in Kirk's Liquid Products, why do you claim these products are all natural? The synthetic materials (preservatives and a portion of fragrance) are present in trace amounts. Kirk's Liquid Products are 99%+ natural. Can Kirk's Liquid Soap be used as a dishwashing liquid? Many customers do use Kirk's Liquid Soap as a dishwashing liquid. There are no harmful ingredients in it and it does leave your dishes sparkling clean while being extremely mild on your hands. It can also be used for hand-washables. 160 years of Kirk's Coco Hardwater Castile In 1839, Kirk's Coco Hardwater Castile was first introduced by the James S. Kirk Company in Utica, New York. Twenty years later, in 1859 Kirk's moved to Chicago where it quickly gained national attention. Proctor & Gamble purchased Kirk's in 1930 and moved it to Cincinnati. Kirk's moved back to Chicago in 1996 when it was acquired by Kirk's Natural Products Corp. Finally, in 2005, Kirk's Natural returned to the Cincinnati Area. Since Kirk's is a classic brand of soap, they can afford to give affordable prices to their customers. Unlike most natural soaps, Kirk's wants to give everyone the opportunity to wash with all-natural soaps. So instead of charging specialty item prices often found on natural products, Kirk's is happy to give their customers the low prices they can trust.

text: If you know of Anthony Mann's work at all, it's probably from seeing the minor epic El Cid or Winchester '73, one of many Westerns he made in the '50s and '60s. Mann's first projects of any note, however, were stark, brusque crime stories, three of which have now been made available on home video. T-Men is a super-manly Secret Service tale of chasing counterfeiters, complete with the tersely narrated tedium of a painstaking manhunt on San Francisco's seedier side and a dangerous blonde who just kind of got wrapped up in the whole mess. He Walked By Night takes the police procedural a step further by showcasing the entire LAPD as it methodically tracks down a cunning and inventive killer. Look for a very young Jack Webb as a crime-lab technician, and you'll also see how much he stole from this movie to use on Dragnetfrom the show's expositional narrative to the creepy, clipped way the cops talk. Raw Deal switches viewpoints to the criminal and immerses the viewer in noir as we watch a man break out of prison with the help of his girl; take a lovely young hostage; and become entangled in a love triangle while en route to a confrontation with the man who framed him and had him sent up. What begins as campily as the other two eventually takes on deeper shades of meaning as the characters become conflicted about themselves and each other; the script actually improves as the movie progresses. T-Men and He Walked By Night both have gripping black-and-white visuals: There's a chase through L.A.'s cavernous storm sewers, and a hellish murder by live steam. Raw Deal adds dramatic tension to its imagery of foggy back roads and burning hotels to become a minor noir masterpiece. Throw in Raymond Burr as the most evil man in the world, and you have a beautiful little cult classic.

So it'll be a bigger iPad mini o.O lol and a iPad mini with a retina GENIUS lol Jk
Leave it 1 year! Not this 5month bullsh*t
I know many will whine about the "new" mini when it's released with the retina, A6x ect ect and say that's the mini they should of released first. Yeah sure it was but it will be an awesome little iPad and I will for sure buy at east one to add to my OiPad and current mini. I will most likely pass my other iPad onto my brothers family and pic up another iPad of some type so every one wins.
It will emulate the current iPad mini as far as external hardware. Hoping that they make the bezel just as thin on the sides as well. I look at my iPad VS my iPad mini and the bezel is ugly to me. Other than that i like the iPad 4 with Retina display. Can't wait to see the new one.
After looking at the differences between the 3rd and 4th gen, that 6 month release cycle made sense. The 3rd gen model only worked on three sets of carriers for LTE vs the 4th gen with multiple (add in the international LTE radio like with the iPhone 5). It also had a new processor and updated specs (cameras, lightning port, etc) to go along with it.
Unless they have an entirely new processor and better spec set, having a 5th gen only 6 months after the 4th gen doesn't make much sense.

mophie OutRide multisport and juice pack plus Review
New life for an iPhone® 4
J.R. has been at Crutchfield since 1996. He's been helping customers buy the right products from us for many years, and now he supervises and trains our Advisor Group. He worked as a D.J. on our local rock n' roll radio station, does video production on the side, and plays drums in a band called Ice House Road.
More from J.R. Stoffel
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
The mophie juice pack pro not only provides backup power for your iPhone 4/4S, its durable case protects your iPhone from dings and scrapes.
I have an antique phone. It's an iPhone 4. Not an iPhone® 5, not even a 4S. I keep it because it works great, and if I upgrade I lose my unlimited data plan (but that's another story). The problem is that the iPhone's battery no longer holds enough charge to get me through a full day of texting, twittering, news reading, video watching, and picture taking.
So I got a mophie juice pack plus. Now my iPhone 4 has a lot more life left in it, at least a lot more battery life. Connected to the juice pack plus, my iPhone now has power to spare after a full day of use. Thank you mophie!
New use for an old iPhone
The juice pack plus made my iPhone useful again, and another mophie product let me use my old iPhone in a new way.
I own a Kawasaki KLR-650 motorcycle. It's one of those bikes you can ride to work, and then on the weekends head up into the mountains where the roads are less... well... paved, and have some fun. And now with the mophie Outride multisport kit and my iPhone, I can record my weekend getaways."
Ready for any sport
When I opened the box, I discovered OutRide kit comes with mounts for just about every kind of action sport you could think of. There were mounts for handlebars and skateboards, helmet mounts for biking, skateboarding, horseback riding, skiing, even mounts for water sports like swimming and surfing.
The mophie OutRide multisport case is rugged enough for just about any sport.
Everything's packaged separately so you can keep it all nice and tidy. Just taking out what you need for your crazy sport of choice. For my motorcycle rides, I use the helmet mount. The base is curved, with 3M adhesive that really grips the helmet's surface. The mount itself has a thumb-activated quick release, so you can detach the case just by feel.
Ready for water or dry land
The OutRide's case can be set up for use in wet conditions or dry conditions. The "wet" case completely locks the iPhone in a sealed compartment with watertight access to the important buttons for video recording, and picture-taking.
While my ride would take me across a couple of streams, I wasn't planning on actually getting in the water, so I opted for the "dry land" case. This gave me access to the phone's touchscreen, in addition to the camera control buttons.
The mophie OutRide app
To get the full use of your iPhone in an OutRide case, be sure to download the mophie OutRide app before you go out adventuring. In video mode, the app works just like your iPhone camera, except with a different set of controls. You can start and stop your video, or snap the shutter using one of the buttons built into the case. That's helpful when the iPhone's mounted to your head because you can do it by feel.
The mophie OutRide app lets you share your videos straight from your iPhone.
The app also gives you access to the OutRide social network. You can upload and share your videos to the OutRide website from your iPhone, and check out videos uploaded by others. The site has an amazing collection of videos and photos taken with OutRide kits. You can watch Mophie/iPhone videos from just about any sport you can imagine.
Time to hit the trail!
So, with my iPhone securely mounted to my helmet, I headed up to a favorite dirt/gravel road in one of Virginia's many wildlife management areas. When I got to the trailhead, I hit the record button and took off.
This road has many ups and downs, with stretches where you can get going pretty fast. There are eight or nine creek crossings, lots of rocks, and the whole road is densely shaded by tall trees and vegetation. It's a great ride. Fourteen minutes after I started, I finished at the top of the mountain.
I reached up and found the OutRide case still there, still holding my iPhone securely in place. I hit the shutter button to stop recording. I sat down on a rock to catch my breath and watched the video of my entire ride. Pretty sweet.
The action camera iPhone
When I got home I uploaded the whole 14-minute video from the mophie app. You can see a clip from the video below. Keep in mind my iPhone wasn't designed as an action sport camera. And it's about two years old, so the processing speed isn't as fast as the current models. Still, I think the final result looks great, and it was way cheaper than buying another camera just for my motorcycle rides.
I like using my iPhone as much as possible. Now I can add "Action Camera" to the long list of things it can do. Thanks again, mophie!

its the truth about Overgrow and RC
About 48 hours ago I broke my 26 month long self-imposed exile from the internet to post the results of my converstations with RC. Nobody else seemed to the the will or ability to track down and talk to him, and my concerns for the industry and the people I love who participate in it out weighed the enjoyment of my recent relative obscurity. I was sure any calls were going to be monitored, but hey - it's not like my name has never been associated with cannabis seeds, eh. So I called RC. Twice.
The first call was to get his story of what happened to him, and the servers for Overgrow and Cannabis World, and to offer support, financial and otherwise. I had been in contact with a few friends and business acquaintances, and had passed the virtual hat around - to the tune of well over US$50,000 pledged to assist RC, with no strings attached. RC said he would have to talk to his lawyers first for instructions on handling such a large donation. OK, fine. RC has all my contact numbers (always had, btw) and I expected a call the next day with instructions from his lawyers.
After my first call to him, I noted that Marc Emery from Cannabis Culture had a front page story saying RC had split the country, etcetera. f**k. So, after some introspection, I decided to take the plunge - I was returning to my long lost home, the internet. RC had told me he would be releasing a statement, drawn up with the assistance of his lawyers, within 24 hours. Now, I had taken RC at his word as to what had happened, and I thought his clients, suppliers and members of his sites should have at least an idea of what happened, so I called him back, and said so. He agreed I could post what I put in my first post on the internet in 26 months.
Some things RC said to me didn't sit well with me. I did wake the guy up, but still... my instincts were making my hackles rise. As time passed, I kept thinking - who the f**k doesn't leap on a US$50,000 gift? My instincts said I wouldn't hear from his lawyers about it. I was correct.
Now, I have known RC's real name - and much more information about him, from back in the day when I made a deal with ~Shabang~ to buy out his 1/2 of Overgrow. I started doing the phone call thing to newspapers, the Quebec Provincial Police, RCMP public affairs office, blah, blah, blah. No record of an arrest. No record of bail or release. No records for RC, period. I had a couple of phone calls with ~Shabang~ as well, as he is one of the few people in the world I felt comfortable brain-storming with some of the information I was working with. I trust ~S with my life.
I called everyone I knew - and I know a f**kload of folks - to try and pry out some facts. I got a ton of calls, PM's and emails, and the picture they were painting wasn't jiving with some 'facts' that RC gave me. In fact, the f**ker lied to me - to you - to the industry.
Just after midnight last night, I got a call from Marc Emery. Some of you may have heard of him. If you want to Marc bash, stay the f**k outta this thread. I've been in this industry for quite some time, and I don't believe in tearing down anyone who has the guts and determination for a cause that he does. If you don't like doing business with him, then don't. I have managed to negotiate this industry for years without hurting and name calling of people who are, in my eyes, on the same side. (Just ask Dr. Chronic - shortly after his site launched on OG - and when Gypsy was, as usual acting like an ass and treating the Doc like shit on the boards, his site went down - hardware failure. That day was the first time I talked to the Doc - I called him and offered to host his site until his hardware was repaired. He declined, but that was the basis of a solid business relationship with him, one of my competitors. I have since met the Doc, and he is one of those truly rare finds - an honest to goodness decent and nice man. I would like to think I can call Dr. Chronic my friend, and I won't put up with any Doc bashing here either End of rant)
Emery and I chatted for over 1/2 an hour. At the outset, I was clear that I couldn't give him any information, but we could discuss what we both had knowledge of. I can tell you now that Emery had RC's real name for quite some time, and had been checking high and low, much like I had been, and had found no trace. Emery gave me a who's who list of people who know RC - in some cases for decades - and who RC had shunned any form of contact with since this all started. He quite graciously offered me all they had found out, and didn't pressure me for information in return. His concern for anyone affected by the fallout from this is genuine. The industry is in an uproar, and I hadn't seen anyone else with people working the phones trying to unearth the truth. By approximately 12:53 AM (GMT) Mr. Marc Scott Emery had earned my respect. We ended our chat, but now I still had more questions.
Rumours, speculation and innuendo filled the forums everywhere, and my instincts were screaming by now. Several details RC had given me were blatantly false, but not a smoking gun. Not yet.
And then, this morning at 10:30 AM (GMT) my phone rang. It was an old acquaintance of mine - and he had brought me a smoking gun. He had done business with RC, and RC paid him by check. The check was made out to a business that has nothing to do with cannabis or cannabis seeds. It was the only time that business had ever negotiated a payment from anyone in the industry. And he had just been raided, with the warrant looking for cannabis, cannabis seeds, and financial records. Fortunately, the raid was, well - a bust. Nothing was found, cops were red-faced, and my friend was fine. And pissed off. There is only one person who could have pointed the police to his business. Mr. Richard Baghdadlian, known to you as RC.
I don't doubt that RC was raided, and I don't doubt that his home and business were searched. In fact, I have confirmation they were. He was not arrested. He was at home when I called him, and has since shut off all contact with anyone. I called his lawyers (that little deal a few years ago with ~S, me, RC and OG had left me with all kinda interesting contacts) and they informed me they were not able to contact RC.
So, I'm gonna say it - and lemme tell you, this ain't easy, but now it's time to face some hard facts.
Richard Baghdadlian is co-operating with the authorities to save his own ass, at the expense of breeders, clients, and tens of thousands of members on his sites.
Anyone who had any financial transactions with RC in any way is at risk.
Anyone who posted on OG or CW is at risk. Those forums are gone, and will never be back - the security of every member has been comprimised.
I don't believe IP's were not logged on OG and CW. ~Shabang~ and I discussed this, and how ~S had originally set up the null logs, and db records. Since then, however, RC had instituted many 'anti-troll' features on the boards. Lemme 'splain...
Ask any troll here - if they posted from, say Proxy A one day, and then 3 days later from Proxy B, using the same handle, and admin got tired of them. So, they IP ban Proxy B, while the troll is still signed in. That's how RC would like you to believe it was done. However, if they then tried using a different handle, and Proxy A - well, damned if that one wasn't blocked as well. I can guarantee you that RC had gone back to some default settings to log IP's for everyone, all the time. There is no doubt.
RC is a rat.
OG and CW logged IP's.

Equality Now Condemns Mass Mutilations And Urges Tanzanian Authorities To Take Immediate Action To Protect Girls And Hold Perpetrators Accountable
8 December 2010
Lakshmi Anantnarayan, +1 212 586 0906, firstname.lastname@example.com
Tarime District, Tanzania – The government of Tanzania passed a law prohibiting FGM in 1998 and yet reports indicate that this holiday season about 250 girls have already been cut and over 5000 girls are at risk of being genitally mutilated in Tarime district of Tanzania's Mara Region alone. Faiza Jama Mohamed, Nairobi Office Director of international human rights organization Equality Now asks, "What is the use of having a law against FGM if the government has no plans to implement it?" Despite being aware of the preparations undertaken by communities to conduct mass mutilations, the police in Tarime have failed to prevent the mutilations. There have also been no known arrests of any perpetrators related to the cases of the girls who have already been subjected to FGM. It is estimated that over 150 girls have fled for fear of being genitally mutilated and are currently housed in local shelters. "It is a public health and human rights crisis that the Tanzanian government is reluctant to address," continued Ms. Mohamed.
In Tanzania, FGM is practiced by specific ethnic groups in Dodoma, Singida, Arusha, Kilimanjaro and Mara regions. Although the FGM national prevalence rate in Tanzania is 14.6%, it is very high in the regions where it is practiced. This includes Tarime district which has a particularly high rate of FGM when compared to others. According to a 2002 survey conducted by Tanzanian partner organization, Legal and Human Rights Center (LHRC), FGM is openly and defiantly practiced in Tarime with a prevalence rate of about 85% among the rural female population in the region. The practice is performed on cohorts of girls in ceremonies that take place at least every two years in almost the entire district. Many girls in this community drop out of school and are married off after undergoing FGM. LHRC fears that every day between November 2010 and January 2011, around 100 girls may be at risk of genital mutilation in the region.
The government of Tanzania prohibits the practice of FGM under its Sexual Offences Special Provision Act 1998. The law provides that anyone having custody, charge or care of a girl under eighteen years of age who causes her to undergo FGM commits the offense of cruelty to children. Yet, only a handful of cases have reached the courts in recent years and the police are reluctant to arrest and prosecute the perpetrators. Although a number of police stations house units to specifically address gender-based violence, including enforcement of the anti-FGM law, the police continue to fail to protect women and girls from FGM.
While the anti-FGM law itself does not address prevention of FGM, Tanzania is a party to the Protocol on the Rights of Women in Africa which mandates member states to protect women and girls at risk of being subjected to harmful practices or all other forms of violence, abuse and intolerance. In addition, the government, including the police bears the responsibility to protect girls from FGM and to prevent people from breaking the law. Section 5 of the Police Force Ordinance Cap.322 mandates that the Tanzanian police "shall be employed to detect and prevent crime and apprehend the perpetrators," While it is common knowledge that the communities practice mass ceremonies of FGM every two years, there has been no attempt by the statutory and law enforcement agencies to educate the communities against FGM and to impress on them the illegality of the practice, despite the decades-long efforts of local organizations dedicated to reach these goals.
Adds Ms. Mohamed, "There is still time to save girls from FGM. Tanzanian authorities must take strong and immediate action in Tarime against the perpetrators and prevent further incidences from taking place. They need to send parents and circumcisers a loud and clear message that such blatant disregard for the law will not be tolerated." Tanzania has an obligation to safeguard the rights of its women and girls.

Worried Mum
It has been eight months since my second babies birth and I have been breastfeeding for three months and now I only feed during the night, I have not got my periods but on and off I came across times that I saw blood stains on my undergarments, just want to know whether this is normal or something I should be more concerned about?

Though I am not a midwife, I would imagine it's probably nothing too serious. Are you on any sort of hormonal birth control? The reason I ask is that something known as breakthrough bleeding, wherein you may spot a little bit from time to time, is pretty common.
Even if you are not using hormonal birth control, it is likely a non-issue. Do you have any other symptoms? Pain or itching?
Our resident midwife Jane should see this soon and provide you with a more thorough answer.

I, too, would tend to say that if you're not on hormonal birth control, and your cycles were always regular before your pregnancy, that the spotting is probably just from the breastfeeding, even though you are only breastfeeding part time.
I had a friend who's cycles didn't come back until her child was 2 1/2 years old. She obviously wasn't breastfeeding full time the entire 2 1/2 years - yet it took over 2 years for her cycles to return. Then there are people like me who breastfeed full time and get their cycles back between 3-6 months after giving birth. We're all different

Hello mom8months,
I had the same experience as yours when i had my babies. After around two to three months since giving birth, i find some blood stains on my undies. With my first child, I did get worried. So I did ask the gynecologist about it. She said it was fine and that many mothers go through that stage. There are even those who may not find such stains yet get their cycles back after around a year. Quite unbelievable but true as the doctor explains.
Anyway, all i can say is seeking medical attention is a good move especially for us. We don't want to get sick attending to the needs of our family would we?

Sorry for my late reply to this thread - I would not be concerned. Even breastfeeding only over night can stop your periods from occuring. If you are taking the mini pill this can cause the bleeding you are experiencing. If you aren't taking hormonal birth control the bleeding still shouldn't be anything to be concerned about. If concerned make an appointment to see your doctor for a check up.

Photos: 2013 Grand Prix of Long Beach
LONG BEACH - Takuma Sato entered Sunday's IndyCar race at the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach with nary a win in major open-wheel racing. That's counting parts of seven seasons in Formula One and three-plus years in IndyCar.
He has one now, and he did it in very impressive fashion, beating second-place Graham Rahal across the finish line by 5.3 seconds in front of about 70,000. He led the final 50 laps of the 80-lap race.
Immediately after getting out of his car, Sato was about as thrilled as a driver can be.
"Just fantastic," he said. "The car was great, pits were perfect. It was just an incredible feeling."
That deafening applause that was heard in Long Beach around 3:45 p.m. might have come from across the Pacific Ocean, as Sato also became the first Japanese driver to win an IndyCar race.
"I think it's great news from a sporting point of view," said Sato, of Tokyo. "Japanese athletes are all over the world competing against the world. And this win is really great news for us, particularly because of the tragedy we had two or three years ago."
Sato was referring the the massive 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami that took place in Japan in March 2011. Sato said his country is still recovering.
"This, hopefully, is good news to cheer them up," he said.
Wait, there's more. Sato became the first A.J. Foyt Enterprises IndyCar driver to win since 2002, and the first to win on a street course since 1978. It came on a day when the legendary Foyt, 78, was back home in Texas because he is preparing for surgery on his sciatic nerve.
Reached via telephone by a pool reporter, Foyt said sitting through the last five laps of the race was harder than anything he's ever had to do. He then doled out heavy praise to Sato.
"We've had a lot of drivers, but none of them wanted to win," said Foyt, one of just three drivers to win four Indy 500 s. "This boy wants to win."
Foyt's biological grandson and adopted son, Larry Foyt, ran the show this weekend.
"I hate it that dad's not here, he's such a big part of what we do every day," Larry Foyt said. "This is for him."
Sato spoke often about how terrific the team was, and how well everything went.
"Today, this weekend, there were no mistakes - nothing," he said. "The car was so fun to drive."
So fun, he didn't want the race to end.
"I wanted to continue driving because the car was so good," said Sato, 36.
Sato took the lead on lap 31 and did not relinquish it.
"The restarts, especially the last one, I had to be careful," Sato said. "But we got away with that."
There were five yellow flags, the final one coming on the last lap.
Larry Foyt also talked a lot about the perfection of the race.
"Takuma made it look too easy," he said. "It made me so nervous watching it out there. He just drove a flawless race. I've never seen a race like that. Just a perfect race. And the car was great. The engineers did a great setup. And what a pit crew. Those guys were fast today."
The victory moved Sato, who started fourth Sunday, into second place in the points standings with 93. Helio Castroneves, who finished 10 th, remained in first with 99.
Finishing third and on the podium was Justin Wilson, who did a fine job considering he started 24 th. Pole-sitter Dario Franchitti was fourth, J.R. Hildebrand fifth, Oriol Servia sixth, Marco Andretti seventh, Simon Pagenaud eighth and Simona de Silvestro ninth.
Defending series champion Ryan Hunter-Reay started second, but went out of the race after 49 laps because of contact with a wall of tires. He was 24 th.
Rahal was looking for just his second IndyCar win in five-plus years. He was also trying to become the first Rahal to win at Long Beach. His father and co-owner of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, Bobby Rahal, was second four times here.
Graham Rahal at one point cut Sato's lead to less than a second, but the longer the race went on, the stronger Sato became.
"We had more fun this weekend than we had the last couple, that's for sure," said Rahal, who was 13 th and 21 st in the first two races of the season at St. Petersburg and Barber Motorsports Park, respectively. "I think today was just great because it finally came together. I think we all felt that we had the speed. Even at St. Pete ... I think St. Pete could have been a similar result to today, we just couldn't see it through.
"Without a doubt, it feels phenomenal to be up here, great to be on the podium at Long Beach. Obviously, I'd like to win here. I think dad and I, now it's five times the Rahals finish second here."
Wilson almost couldn't believe he was on the podium after starting so far back in the pack.
"It was a pretty crazy race. I'm still kind of confused as to why I'm up here," Wilson said, drawing laughter from reporters.
Wilson, who drives for Dale Coyne Racing, said realistically he was thinking he could finish perhaps 12 th or, at the very highest, 10 th.
The many restarts helped him.
As for Franchitti, he certainly was looking for a win after starting on the pole. But the four-time series champion was at least somewhat pleased because he was 25 th the first two races.
"Yeah, you know, not another great day for the Target team," said Franchitti, of Chip Ganassi Racing. "But after the first two results, this is a lot better. We're getting there."
Franchitti led 27 of the first 30 laps.
Will Power, who started third, was 16 th. Mike Conway started fifth, but was 25 th after completing just 38 laps because of an electrical problem.

Script Purpose: Maintaining Access/Web Backdoor
Script Language: PHP
License: Public Domain
The current PHP backdoor script is a little lacking in features and has a number of bugs in it. I've rewritten the script and done the following:
- Uploads actually work, the method is a little rough but its the only way to upload to a dynamic folder (the current on in BT tries to pass a text field for the directory and the file in the same form; that can not be done in HTTP).
- View source function to displays as text/plain so it doesn't output HTML characters and execute client side code (the current one in BT doesn't fix output making you execute any HTML and client side scripts in the document).
- Download files with good error handling.
- Good directory traversal functionality.
- Editing of files.
- Deletion of files.
- Improved MySQL command execution.
- Improved shell command error handling (warns if on safe mode).
- Measures to bypass mod_security (it would otherwise prevent you from browsing certian directories or editing certian characters into a file).
- An option to highlight likely database interaction files.
- All code conforms to the principles of structured coding (all in if/else statements, no die() commands).
- Allowed the gzip and download of a directory, this rarely works due to permissions.
- Added the ability to CHMOD777 a folder, rarely works either.
- Tested on Windows and Linux using PHP 4 and 5.
The only drawback this has in comparison to the other one is that its over 400 lines long, but other than that it is superior in every way. I request that this tool be considered to replace the current PHP backdoor script in backtrack.
You can view the page for the tool here. I'd post the source here as well but it puts me over the 10k char limit.

You've made your strong points, but you can't base your arguments ( much like any other ) depending on the moves you WISH for the character to make and/or avoid. It's evident that Minato is a very versatile and observant shinobi, A's no joke don't get me wrong, but Minato was a ninja capable of performing beyond anyone's expectations. I guess you can even say that he toyed with both A & Killer B from the start of that battle, that alone would prove how much of as a capable ninja he was.
I like A and he's a damn beast when it comes to brute force and speed with his heightened reflexes, but that fight could go either way since I see them as almost a match.

LONG BEACH — Business from two major shipping lines helped boost lackluster cargo numbers at the Port of Long Beach as 2012 ended, giving the port its best import numbers for December in recorded history, a port official said Wednesday.
The nation's second-busiest seaport - which generates about $4.9 billion in local, state and general federal taxes annually and accounts for 1.4 million trade-related jobs nationally, including one in eight jobs in Long Beach - took in 295,579 TEUs, or 20-foot equivalent units, in imports in December.
That's an 18.9 percent jump from December 2011, according to the port's latest numbers released Wednesday.
However, goods movement for the year remained flat with a little more than 6 million TEUs, a 0.3 percent dip from last year, which port spokesman Daniel Yi said is reflective of an economy still recovering.
"We're happy to be able to recoup most of the down trend from the earlier part of the year," he said.
Meanwhile, in neighboring Port of Los Angeles, imports and exports dipped from 2011 to 2012 compared with the previous year, handling about 6.14 million loaded TEUs in 2012, down from the 6.18 million.
The Los Angeles port reported an overall 1.7 percent rise in cargo volumes compared to 2011, allowing the port to process more than 8 million containers for only the third time in its history. But the data show that the increase is entirely due to growth in the number of empty containers handled at the port.
Consumer confidence drives demand at the import-heavy Long Beach port, and Joseph Magaddino, professor of economics at Cal State Long Beach, said that economic growth is not expected to be strong nationally this year as the country looks at an annual gross domestic product growth of less than 2 percent. This is slower by a couple of tenths of a percent than last year's growth.
"The economy is progressing forward but at a modest and steady pace," he said. "We won't see strong growth until the end of 2014."
When comparing 2011 to 2012, the Port of Long Beach saw 3.06 million TEUs in imports in 2012, a 1.2 percent increase from last year. About 1.54 million TEUs were exports in 2012, a 2.2 percent jump from 2011, while empty container numbers fell 5.6 percent from last year to 1.44 million TEUs.
After a sluggish start to the year, the port ended strong with a 9.8 percent increase in TEUs last month over December 2011.
Exports for the month rose 4.9 percent, while empty containers, which are shipped overseas to be refilled with goods, fell 2.4 percent when compared to the same time a year ago.
The numbers are robust despite a weeklong strike that affected both ports. About two-thirds of the terminals at the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles shuttered after more than two years of talks crumbled between the union representing 600 clerical workers at both ports and their employers, representing shipping agencies and terminal operators in Southern California.
In Los Angeles, loaded imports and exports fell by 10.2 percent compared with December 2011. Overall, including empty boxes, container volumes dropped by 9.4 percent compared to December 2011.
Long Beach was not as affected by the labor strike as Los Angeles since three of six terminals remained opened and took on much of the business during that period, Yi said.
Port officials in Long Beach credit the improvement in the numbers to major container shipping firms CMA CGM and Mediterranean Shipping Co., which added services in Long Beach in 2012.
Cargo numbers started to climb by double digits in October and November after MSC transferred its business from the Port of Los Angeles to Long Beach.
Also boosting numbers is Marseille, France-based ocean carrier CMA CGM, the world's third-biggest container shipping line, which added service and plans to expand even more. The company announced last month that it will lease and operate a 256-acre terminal at Pier J.
Port officials have said that CMA CGM's plan to build a West Coast hub is expected to bring 2.6 million more container units, about $70 million in revenue in the next five years and create more jobs.

The stage was set for another repeat performance by the Buffalo Sabres. With the Toronto Maple Leafs leading 3-2 late in the final period, the Leafs took a penalty just like they did Friday night in Buffalo. The Sabres scored a powerplay goal in the first game of the home-and-home series to tie the game. Saturday night in the Air Canada Centre, it played out exactly the same, except this time the Leafs shutdown the Sabres offense and came away with a 3-2 victory.

Designer Shoes And Box
This is life size.The shoes are gumpaste which I made by purchasing an inexpensive pair of platform shoes at Ross. I deconstructed them and made my patterns from that. The shoe box was cut from a 1/4 sheet pan. The sides and top are modeling chocolate. I was very happy with this turn out since it was my 1st time making shoes!

The Supercross tour took its lone break from the 17 rounds of action this weekend, but the racing world was still very active as many have begun testing for the coming Nationals while the Bryce Vallee Benefit Day took place to aid the fallen racer.
Glen Helen April 5th
With the outdoors kicking off in just a few short weeks, the Southern California tracks have been packed with racers preparing for the longer, rougher motos. There is an unwritten schedule of what tracks to go to when, such as Comp Edge Tuesday, Milestone Wednesday, and Glen Helen on Thursday. We made our way to San Bernardino to shoot photos and video of the racers of all disciplines, including WMA, WORCS, and the amateur scene, shaking down their settings.

Discussion in 'Sports Zone' started by Zordon, Mar 8, 2013.
Heads are about to roll.
If I understand correctly, Bev Kearney was the track coach who had an affair with a student athlete and was fired.
Allegedly Major Applewhite was also caught having an fling with a student trainer but it was swept under the rug.
Something like that correct?
Yes that's right. I think that is the foundation for this new story that's about to break.
If this doesn't result in Deloser Dodds getting fired I'll be extremely disappointed. We're good at golf, that's it. But this will probably end up with a Mack contract extension somehow.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I've never been on twitter but I know it sucks.
I hope deloser "retires" as well, it's the only way we will ever move on from Mack and Rick
You know outside of a major recruitng violation or somethign causing them to lose scholarships and bowl games I don't see what could be that bad.
College coaches shouldn't sleep with students, but they are adults. I love that Mack brought a championship, but really no one on that campus should feel to safe because of production not scandal.
This is an old story. This story broke like a month ago. The Kearney Story broke in November of 2012.
I don't really think this story is that big of a deal any longer but I guess we'll see.
Short memory, I see.
Over the last decade, Texas has had one the premier overall sports programs in the country...and they've gone from nothing special 20 years ago to the wealthiest program in the entire NCAA.
Like Galloway and others say..."Ahh, the whiney Orange".
And I am a UT fan of sorts.
Just a further note:
There are only four sport programs in the whole country that routinely rank (on average) in the top 10 in the "all-sports" race and also have a BCS football title. They are Texas, Florida, USC, and Ohio St.
Yeah, we have money. A football program circling the drain, a basketball program that makes football look good, baseball that is on the way down and an Athletic Director that doesn't care because we have money. And golf.
Eh, those tweets sound a lot worse than the Applewhite story to me.
Of course it could just be hyperbole from those people.
Yes but her and her lawyers might have some dirt on the athletic department.
I don't know about you guys but I'm ready for a compete overhaul of the athletic department. I hope Powers keeps his job because I like the route he's trying to take the university. On the other hand, if he falls from this then Rick Perry will set this university back many years.
You have no clue what you're talking about. Total short-sighted, what-have-you-done-lately talk.
UT was 5th in the country in overall sports last year, so they have plenty of good teams.
You can't possibly think one the country's most consistant football programs is going down the drain after just a couple of years of mediocrity....following top 10 finishes for a 10-15 straight years.
And you sound like basketball and , of all things baseball, have been terrible for 5-10 straight years. UT baseball is freaking iconic.
Classic UT brat-talk.
I hope these affairs and flings are with consenting adults only. That is to say, I hope it is not another situation like what we have seen at Penn State.
If not, you deserve to get fired , and Jailed
Classic we're the Jones and nobody is as good as us talk.
In the last 3 years Mack brown has gone from a Boise St offense, to an Alabama offense to now this spring an up tempo offense. We just had the worst defense in UT history. We're losing recruits to a&m and just had two of the biggest blowout losses in history to OU. The game has passed him by but hey, we won it all 8 years ago so lets put our heads in the sand and talk about how good we used to be.
Basketball, they do always make the tournament but no one really gives a crap so I guess it doesn't matter.
Baseball, does Augie even go to the games anymore?
who cares about being 5th in all sports when golf and swimming is what has us up there.
Mack's coaching them up
yeah, we beat Kansas
If we have all this money and power, we shouldn't be settling for this crap in basketball at least! Rick Barnes has done crap with some insane talent! Look at the rosters in the mid to late 2000's! It's crazy how many good to great NBA players he has had without a single deep NCAA run since the days of TJ Ford! Football is kind of understandable that they want Mack around, even though I disagree. But Rick Barnes is worthless
Apparently Cayleb Jones was arrested according to the local ESPN affiliate, which is sharing a report from Chip Jones of orangebloods.com He supposedly hit a UT tennis player or something to that effect. This incident happened in late February.
WR Cayleb Jones is charged with aggravated assault after fracturing the jaw of a #UT tennis player
He hit tennisplayer Joseph Swaysland over his relationship with volleyball player Katherine Bell, per Carter Strickland's twitter.
Ok I just read the report. A felony? Man I hope this doesn't end up bad for him but it sounds like a scorned boyfriend trying to control a girl.
hey, 3 sports were involved, no wonder we're top 10 in that all sports thing.

Last Tuesday I was sulking around the house complaining about the passing of the summer and how it goes by so fast. Personally, I think I have a right to complain in my own house.
After all, I pay the mortgage, the taxes and the utilities, that is, when I think of it. The only thing I do not pay, is attention to the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage, which has cost me a lot more than the mortgage, taxes and utilities put together.

- About Plattsburgh
Being at Plattsburgh has been a rewarding experience for me, both as a scholar and a teacher. Since arriving here I have been able to explore the local community's heritage as a borderland area. The whole North Country is rich in history, and, not surprisingly, French Canadians made up a large immigrant group here.
Many of the local names in this region — Bushey, Shambo, Trombly, Favro, for example — are modifications of the French names Boucher, Archambault, Tremblay, and Favreau. From earliest times this area has been characterized by people on the move — from Iroquois nations, to New England pioneers, to French Canadian seasonal workers, and Irish emigrants. French Canadians moved to upstate New York, and many New York loyalists moved to Canada after the American Revolution.
So Plattsburgh provides a unique vantage point for the understanding of both American and Canadian history. Currently I am using this borderland location to enrich the understanding of North American history. It can be compared to the southwestern borderlands of the United States which present an equally fascinating picture of migration and hybridization of cultures.
There is a lot of history right here, "on the ground," so to speak, and I am interested in getting students to see this!

REDLANDS - The business community grew in 2012 with a ice creamy making its home in the city's downtown district, the return of a Redlands landmark and the expansion of Hangar 24.
A la minute opened in February looking to bring a new twist to the culinary world by creating ice cream flavors using liquid nitrogen.
The concept of creating ice cream using science has been discussed for several years, but Chef Ryan Berk - after seeing a cooking demonstration - seized the idea and opened a shop in Redlands where he grew up.
Using a base consisting of cream, eggs, buttermilk and sugar, Berk was able to create sweet additions to the store's menu, including the Balsamic Strawberry to the Salted Carmel.
A la minute - which means "made to order" - is one of 10 spots around the country using liquid nitrogen to create ice cream.
Berk and his wife, Cassi, are behind the Redlands ice creamery, which they tagged a modern creamery.
Berk, a graduate of the Grove School in Redlands, brought his passion and expertise for the culinary arts to the business while his wife manages the register, the restaurant and finances.
Since its opening, a la minute has partnered with several businesses around the downtown area, including Augie's coffee.
A la minute is at 19 Citrus Ave., Suite 105 and is open from noon to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday; noon to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday and from noon to 6 p.m. Sundays.
In July, the Redlands Planning Commission approved a tasting room/retail facility on the west side of Hangar 24.
Preliminary plans had the tasting room occupying 3,000-square feet of a 21,600-square foot building on the corner of Park Avenue and Nevada Street already used to store Hangar products and administrative services.
The approval came on July 10.
The property was built in 2008 within a four-building industrial park that had been subdivided into four separate properties.
Hangar acquired the property in 2011.
The tasting room will provide the brewery with an expansion of product and services that will be hosted only indoors.
Tasting and retail sales will be open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily.
The tasting room wasn't the only expansion on the menu for Hangar 24.
In mid-December, the brewery became the first craft brewery to bottle and can beer with the release of its Helles Lager and Orange Wheat in 12-ounce cans.
A 12-pack of Hells or Orange is available for $18.75.
Hangar's new line of product was made available on Dec. 17 and can be purchased at the craft brewery at 1710 Sessums Drive during business hours.
Other retailers are also selling those drinks.
The idea to make canned beer available has been in the works for two years, said Kevin Wright, head brewer and brewery manager at Hangar 24 in December.
"This was something we felt was pretty natural," he said.
The brewery has experienced positive reviews from customers since the launch, Wright added.
Hangar 24 is also expanding its facility to increase annual brewing capacity to 35,000 barrels, installed three new fermenting tanks, a new bottling line, a loading dock and a lab for testing new recipes.
Hangar also moved its cold box where it houses product waiting to be shipped to accommodate the 50-square-feet of space it needs for the tasting room's expansion and remodel.
The lights came back on at Cajon Pharmacy in mid-December when the landmark was reopened by pharmacist Khalid Mahfouz.
The landmark facility, which was originally opened in the late 1960s, was closed in 2011 under the ownership of CVS who opened not to renew its lease.
With a new owner and new look, Mahfouz had plans to keep the same old-fashioned customer service the facility was known.
New light fixtures, countertops and floors were added, along with new signs advertising the store. It took his team several months to complete, Mahfouz said.
"We signed the lease at the end of March, but I started to do the improvements almost immediately (while waiting) for the legal papers to be completed," he said. "All that was done by the end of October. It took me quite a long time."
The location was very dear to Mahfouz's heart. He worked for Cajon Pharmacy when it was owned by Stan and Ellen Weisser. The Weissers later sold the business.
Opting not to renew its lease, CVS closed Cajon Pharmacy on Sept. 23, 2011, and sent staff and customers to other store locations within the city.
When Mahfouz heard of the closing, he wanted to do something about it. It was his home for several years, he said, and he wanted to see it flourish once again.
"I had to save it and make it live," he said.
Mahfouz was able to use the name "Cajon Pharmacy" with Stan Weisser's blessing.
The pharmacy is at 232 Cajon St., Suite A, and is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays.

By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer
OLYMPIA — House Democrats aren't giving up on raising billions of dollars for transportation with a gas tax hike but are running out of time to get it done before the legislative session ends.
On Tuesday, the leader of the House Transportation Committee released an $8.4 billion package of improvements funded with a 10-cent boost in the gas tax over four years plus higher vehicle registration fees and bonds.
Snohomish County stands to receive $204 million worth of projects of which $109 million is for building a second bridge over the Snohomish River on Highway 9. There's also $15 million of Highway 2 safety improvements and $42 million for a new I-5 interchange at 116th Street in Marysville.
But it's far from certain the plan cobbled together by Rep. Judy Clibborn, D-Mercer Island, the committee chairwoman, can pass in the House then the Senate before the conclusion of the session April 28.
Lawmakers from several counties, including Snohomish, want more projects from their regions funded before they'll commit their vote.
"We, the Snohomish County transportation members, are working to up the level of projects in the revenue package that cover Snohomish County," said Rep. Mike Sells, D-Everett. "It has been an on-going process."
Clibborn acknowledged Tuesday she's open to adding and subtracting items as she assembles enough votes for passage. "This is not cast in cement," Clibborn said.
In the meantime, the combination of a gas tax hike and inclusion of $450 million for the Columbia River Crossing may doom it with the Senate Majority Coalition.
That sum is considered necessary to secure $1.2 billion in matching federal funds. But federal dollars are conditioned on Washington endorsing light rail on the new span and that is strongly opposed by coalition members. Moreover, the coalition wants the crossing redesigned and an audit conducted of the funds spent to date on the project.
"From my standpoint the funding for the CRC needs to be out of the proposal," said Sen. Curtis King, R-Yakima, a co-chair of the Senate Transportation Committee.
He said he didn't want to speak for the other 24 members of the coalition, some of whom are on record endorsing a transportation revenue package this year.
"We just have to look and see what ends up coming out of the House," he said. "My opinion is this is not the year to be asking the public for a 10-cent gas tax increase."
Sen. Tracey Eide, D-Federal Way, the other co-chair of the committee, said it's too soon to predict failure for the effort.
"To be honest with you, I think it's doable," she said. "Give (Clibborn) a chance. She's been working on it. This is the first step in the process. We'll kind of check it day-by-day."
Clibborn scheduled a hearing on the package for Friday making it possible for a vote in the House as early as Saturday.

wireless assistant sucks and is crappy. I'm fairly certain it doesn't even support WPA.
Hello everyone,
I've been using BackTrack for about a week now and still can't connect to my wireless network.
I suspect that the source of "evil" is Intel 3945 card. When I first used BT2 it didn't even see the wlan0 so today I've finally downloaded BT3, and I was so happy when I saw wlan0 on the iwconfig list
But that didn't last for long, after I enabled the interface using ifconfig I attempted to connect to my wireless network using the WiFi Assistant program. The program detected my network but failed to acquire an address using the DHCP (Something that I've been doing from Windblows Vista for the past month).
I attempted some of the following things in order to try and solve this issue, but nothing seems to work:
- Increasing the DHCP timeout in the WifiAssistant program.
- Using the dhcpcd command.
- My wireless network is defined with WPA, so I tried both with WPA and then reconfigured the network to be completely open and still nothing!
- I attempted to do the entire manaully using the iwconfig, wpa_supplicant...
It seems like everything I try just doesn't work.
I'm using BT3 (beta, with all the bugs ) liveCD.
HP Pavilion 6790.
Wireless interface: Intel Centrino 3945.
Thank you so much for your help.
wireless assistant sucks and is crappy. I'm fairly certain it doesn't even support WPA.
It does support WPA but you have to make sure to check the ASCII box while trying to connecting. I was using it too before I read up the command line options since I didn't bother too much with wireless networks before.
Tiocfaidh ár lá
Thank you for your replies, but as I said I've tried every possible option;
and that includes changing my wireless network by removing WPA and leaving it completely open.
Could it still be that 3945 driver problem?
Or am I doing doing something wrong, maybe I need to do those things in a specific order.
I've read that linux doesn't really like wifi, but this is just ridiculous.
Well I have some good news... After multiple attempts I finally managed to connect the wireless network, but without WPA, I will try the whole process again hopefully it will work.
Thank you guys for the help.

The whole book is well written, but the biography of hannah more is a wonderfully brilliant sketch, and deserves great praise.
Two are out in service, and one in Mrs hannah more's school.'
Sunday schools and hannah more's schools in Somersetshire had drawn the attention of the religious world to the subject.
She was also a correspondent of hannah more and Mrs. Chapone.
But hannah more held the trembling form of the poor stricken child close.
hannah more (Memoirs, i. 210) records a dinner on a Tuesday in this year.
"A pack of nonsense," she called it; and she would tell Mrs. hannah more so if only she had the chance.
hannah more was inexpressibly shocked at the desecration of Whitsunday; Wilberforce also was deeply pained.
hannah more was born in 1745, in a little village near Bristol.
But it may be traced to one mentioned by hannah more in 1787, as then current in Paris.
Old English mara "greater, more, stronger, mightier," used as a comparative of micel "great" (see mickle), from Proto-Germanic *maizon- (cf. Old Saxon mera, Old Norse meiri, Old Frisian mara, Middle Dutch mere, Old High German mero, German mehr), from PIE *meis- (cf. Avestan mazja "greater," Old Irish mor "great," Welsh mawr "great," Greek -moros "great," Oscan mais "more"), from root *me- "big." Sometimes used as an adverb in Old English ("in addition"), but Old English generally used related ma "more" as adverb and noun. This became Middle English mo, but more in this sense began to predominate in later Middle English.
"Take some more tea," the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.More or less "in a greater or lesser degree" is from early 13c.; appended to a statement to indicate approximation, from 1580s.
"I've had nothing yet," Alice replied in an offended tone, "so I can't take more."
"You mean you can't take less," said the Hatter: "it's very easy to take more than nothing."

Dometic Convection Microwave with Black Trim Kit
Dometic's microwaves are specifically designed for the RV, with rugged electronics to withstand travel vibrations.
This ultimate cooking hybrid combines the fast-heat power of microwave energy with the slow-cook browning and crisping of convection heat. 1.1 cu. ft. capacity helps conserve counter space while allowing plenty of room to cook. Includes digital timer and digital clock with LED display. Removable glass turntable rotates food to provide even cooking. Includes exhaust kit.
"I believe the Dometic convection microwave would be a valuable addition to a motorhome or trailer. It gives you the microwave and a broiler, cooking oven in one unit. The convection feature was mostly easy to operate. It met my expectations and a good valve for the price. I would highly recommend to a friend."
---Larry Duval - Holdrege, NE
"Dometic is a quality brand with which I am familiar with and this convection microwave exeeds my expectations in that it is was obviously high quality. A convection microwave is an extremely valuable feature in a RV because you can oven cook in half the time with much less energy and much less heat build-up in the RV. The face that is functions as an oven and you can "brown" things (like biscuits) but has the speed of a microwave. It is a great hybrid of the two. The microwave was almost self explanatory and it is very easy to use. Excellent price considering you are getting a microwave and an oven for the price of one. Overall superb performance, works easily, easy to operate, & very fast cooking time with no sacrifice in quality. EVERY RV should come equipped with a Dometic convection microwave!"

Collections are critical to scientific research: Collections are indispensable to areas of scientific research such as biodiversity studies, systematics, ecology, and conservation. The Botany Department at The Field Museum is re-housing, databasing and digitizing almost 200,000 bryophyte specimens (early land plants) from storage on sheets to enclosed packets, which due to their delicate nature, addresses the urgent concern over their long-term preservation. The project is supported by the National Science Foundation. The first phase began in 2008 (See abstract). The second phase is due to start in April 2011 (See abstract). The bryophyte collection at The Field Museum is globally important and is one of only a few remaining American institutions with an actively growing collection and research program. Specifically, the project 1) ensures the long-term protection of bryophyte specimens; 2) enables the databasing, bar coding, and digitization of label data for the entire collection, and storage on the Museum's web accessible database; 3) consolidate all cryptogam collections into a single herbarium space making them more accessible for staff, students, and visitors; and 4) significantly improve efficiency for collections management.
What are bryophytes? Traditionally, "bryophytes" were thought to be a single lineage, or natural group, containing the mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. Contemporary studies have now well established that this group of plants comprises three independent lineages, i.e., mosses (Bryophyta), liverworts (Marchantiophyta), and hornworts (Anthercerophyta). Together, bryophytes are pivotal in our understanding of the origin and phylogeny of plants on land and form the second largest group of land plants with an estimated 20, 000 species. Bryophytes are considered an important component of the vegetation in many regions throughout the world and their ecological and environmental significance is well documented, including application to climate change and monitoring of pollution. The importance of bryophytes in the regulation of ecosystems and the conservation of biodiversity is thus becoming increasingly acknowledged. The cryptogam collection, including algae, ferns, fungi (including lichens) and bryophytes at The Field Museum numbers 625,000 accessioned specimens (Collections and Research Annual Report 2009) and is recognized internationally as a significant resource for systematic and biodiversity studies. The bryophyte collection alone is estimated to consist of over 285,000 accessioned and unaccessioned specimens.
Urgently addressing storage and preservation problems:
Historically at The Field Museum all cryptogams, including bryophytes, were mounted on paper sheets (see figure, left-hand side) in a manner similar to seed plants. This approach has serious disadvantages when applied to bryophytes, including damage to specimens when storing larger piles of collections, space limitations, and high mailing costs of loans. Encouraged by NSF, many of the actively growing cryptogamic herbaria have abandoned herbarium sheets and instead house new accessions exclusively in packets (see figure right-hand side). Space capacity is thereby vastly increased, and since the specimens are stored in drawers, delicate collections are better protected against damage.
In addition to re-housing the specimens in better containers, the project is capturing data from specimen labels, and databasing core fields for inclusion in an online, searchable database. This can be accessed at the following url: http://emuweb.fieldmuseum.org/botany/search_bryo.php The project also successfully enabled the entire remodeling of the cryptogam herbarium, which was previously housed in five separate areas on two levels in the Botany department. The reorganization enabled all the cryptogam collections to be in a single storage unit. Thus the project rearranged and remodeled 22 cabinet rows in the compactorized herbarium, which was previously vacated by the Paleobotany collection move to a new collection facility. This phase included the purchase of 2,000 light-weight steel drawers that were fitted into the existing cabinets. These currently hold the converted liverwort and lichen collections, and moss collections (currently on sheets). The remaining Cryptogam collections were rearranged to reflect a new sequence including the pteridophyte and algae collections. The Macro- and microfungi collections were moved from the isolated fungal herbarium on a separate level, into the previous bryophyte/lichen cabinets. This value-added component provided a large new valuable class room space for the department and the Museum.
|Historically specimens were mounted on paper sheets stacked on each other causing serious concern for their long term preservation.
|Trays opened with re-packeted, bar coded and databased specimens in packets.
Economic implications: Notwithstanding the urgency of the physical improvement of the collections, coupled with taking immediate advantage of the current framework and infrastructure in place, our project offers serious far reaching economic implications in an era of dramatically high unemployment and economic uncertainty. Our project has employed over 20 full-time or part-time staff throughout the tenure of the grant providing much needed support to students and professionals. We are adopting a similar strategy in the currently NSF funded project. Moreover, in a quote we received for the project, we noted the vendor - a small US private business, University Products, stated "As always we greatly appreciate the business you've provided us over the years. It is especially gratifying for a small business such as ours in this difficult economic climate". As part of the project we have purchased over 150,000 custom made paper packets.
Education Outreach & Training: A critical value-added component is the strong outreach program in coordination with the Education Department and local universities, including a center for engagement of underrepresented students in science. This includes a new partnership with the Student Center for Science Engagement (SCSE) at North Eastern Illinois University (NEIU) which ensured the recruitment of diverse and well qualified candidates underrepresented in science. In addition to receiving training and exposure to world-class plant collection and learning skills in specimen curation, digitization and databasing, the students participated in selective activities in an existing Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site program as well as developing web content for the Encyclopedia of Life in weekly assignments. The project is serving as a model with the employment of over 20 personnel, including interns, throughout the tenure of the project providing exposure to a world class collection and specimen-based research, as well as personnel participating in numerous programs reaching biology and chemistry teachers and students from Chicago Public schools. Von Konrat also mentored four senior high students from Chicago public schools under a program sponsored by Motorola, gaining exposure to collections and being mentored by senior undergraduate students, adding to project personnel. The project is also contributing to to the Museum's Education Department Plants of the World Educator Guide by integrating content related to the digitized collection and participating in the Educator Open House, reaching over 300 Chicago-area educators.

International Databasing Initiatives: In addition to the physical improvement and databasing of the entire bryophyte collection, the digitization component of the project adds to the significance of the collections, making them available online to the scientific and broader community worldwide and contributing to international databasing projects. The project is an active contributor to international databasing initiatives such as the Catalogue of Life (Col), the International Plant Name Index (IPNI), TROPICOS, the Global Plants Initiative (GPI), the Global Biological Facility (GBIF), and the Encyclopedia of Life (EoL). The project has also provided nomenclatural data and specimen data to various herbaria working towards repatriation of data and the reduction of duplication of data entry elsewhere, as well as high profile NSF funded programs such as the ATOL: Liverwort Tree of Life project, the Moss Flora of Central America and the Bryophyte Flora of North America.

I was wondering how to properly use these attacks. there is little to nothing documented about this. please give me an example.
When looking at the aircrack wiki examples, I don't get it.
aireplay-ng -6 -h 00:09:5B:EC:EE:F2 -b 00:13:10:30:24:9C -D rausb0
-h = my card's mac
-b = acces point mac
but how can I specify a client which I want to query for new IV's? And even if it works, on what BSSID should airodump be listening to capture the IV's?
Will aircrack read those client IV's? 'Cause I've noticed it doesn't matter how many packets are coming from clients, aircrack only reads the IV's(data) coming from the AP..
I have been succesfull with the airbase hirte and caffe-latte attacks, but not with aireplay.
