WATCH: Spot-On 'Game Of Thrones' Theme - '90s Edition!
Listen to Queen on a Commercial-Free Custom Artist Station on iHeartRadio
In honor of the 'Game Of Thrones' finale last night (don't worry, there's no spoilers ahead!) we're throwing it back to this INCREDIBLY accurate spoof on the show's opening. According to the 1995 edition, its theme song would be 'I Want It All' by Queen!
Even if you've never seen an episode of 'Game Of Thrones,' you've gotta admit that this looks pretty familiar!

Airplane ride for newborn
Hi! As soon as my sister gives birth, they need to get back to New Jersey (from Sydney) where her husband's family is staying (as soon as the babe can be allowed by the paediatrician) I'd like to ask what is the ideal age for a baby to travel considering the long hours and my sister not yet fully recovered from labor... If you have other tips for the travelling smoothly, we'd greatly appreciate them. Thanks!

The biggest concern during the first few weeks of life is strengthening the immune system for baby, and recovery for mum. Many midwives recommend keeping "visits" to just immediate family during the first couple of weeks to allow for mum to get much needed rest, and for baby to be exposed to as few outside pathogens as possible (i.e. colds and flu).
During the first few weeks, mum will be feeding her baby colostrum which will help to strengthen baby's immune system. Your sister could ask the Paediatrian now, what his thoughts are on when baby will be able to be in a public place (like an airport or airplane).
As for actual travel, the baby will sleep most of the time, and will be so small that your sister will be able to easily change his/her nappy on her lap. The actual care of baby will be very easy on an airplane, as she will just place the baby's car seat in the chair next to her and strap it in with the seat belt.
My biggest concern (aside from baby being exposed to colds and flu from others) would be your sister's health. Depending upon how the birth goes, she may bounce back quickly, or it may take her a few weeks. She will likely need to change her menstrual pad a number of times on the plane, during the trip. She will need nourishing food and drink so she can continue to recover and so that she can have an ample supply of milk for her baby. She should definitely make sure she either takes a lot of water on the plane with her or that it's available to her on the plane. She may also want to take some high protein snacks like peanuts or beef jerky and some dried fruit or fresh, like bananas or apples.
She should nurse her baby or give baby a dummy or bottle to suck on when the plane is going up and when the plane is going down, to help baby's ears "pop" as the plane pressure changes.
And probably the thing that will help baby to calm down in the plane, if he/she gets fussy will be swaddling. At that age, they are used to the "tight" feeling of the womb, where they don't have much room to move around. This becomes a comfort to them, as does mum's voice, and sucking (they suck their thumb in the womb).
So if your sister learns to swaddle her baby before the plane trip, she can quickly do that on the plane if baby gets fussy, then once swaddled, turn baby on her side, put a dummy in his/her mouth, "jiggle" her and then say "shhhhhhhh" next to her ear. Here's an example of how this works - please note how tightly this baby is wrapped. The legs cannot extend, the arms cannot move about freely inside the blanket. The child is bound well, but not so tight that it causes any problems. It's a secure feeling for baby.
I hope this is helpful.
Warm Regards,

Buckets of KFC fried chicken smuggled through tunnel in Gaza Strip
(NEWSER) – They say everybody needs a little KFC, and it seems they're right. Gaza residents don't have access to a local branch—so they're willing to pay more than twice the going price to get it delivered from Egypt in a highly complex process that takes some four hours. Sure, it's a little less than fresh when it arrives, but for Khalil Efrangi's customers, it's worth it. The New York Times details a recent delivery, which started once a Facebook page run by the 31-year-old got enough order requests—typically about 30, though in this particular instance, just 15.

root@bt:~#update-alternatives --config ruby (select 0)
root@bt:~# ruby -v
ruby 1.8.7 (2010-01-10 patchlevel 249) [i486-linux]
root@bt:~# service mysql start
root@bt:~# msfrpcd -f -U msf -P test -t Basic
root@bt:/pentest/exploits/framework# armitage
remember use mysql & select use ssl
now armitage work well any functions!!!
hi there,
thank you for help.
update the framework and don't use ssl .
the problem solved temporarily.
But if use the ssl ,an error "connect reset" occurs. The help file doen't metion it ,so here for help .
I confirm what the day I replied, the list of commands worked, (in my PC) I have now made a" video" that should explain what I wrote!
The only different if I noticed is that until the video I could repeat the command several times during the day without any problems, but after the "Video Day" I saw that it worked well "AFTER FRESH REBOOT"& "insert credential in db_strings" & "using /pentest/" if I repeated the command several times (During a "" "day" "") my msfrpcd give me a ERROR!
I do not know if it's a bug!
(look in video-sections ... if you want) bye sorry my language!!!!
Regards Zimmaro
another method to start up armitage bt5r1
root @ bt: ~ # service mysql start
root @ bt: ~ # armitage
When the window appears "connect" with db_string fill in the credentials to the mysql server and "my case" (root: email@example.com / msf3)
DO NOT use ssl and click START MSF

Fred, Notice there's no "Dear Fred." What the heck happened this morning that you peed on the bed, with me still in it? You had food which you didn't touch over night. You had three water bowls that I refilled just before I went to bed. I scooped the litter box just before bed, too. It was half an hour before Wake Up Time, too, which just added insult to injury. There's a slim chance you might be sick, but since you used the litter box successfully before and after The Incident, I'm inclined to think you are trying to send me a message. Find another medium, young man, or beware the consequences. You would be wise to reconsider peeing on the hand that feeds you. Do you really want another trip to The Vet?Not very happily, Your Human
Oh great. Between the dogs and cats, I'll never move . Way too funny.Have you noticed yet that it's impossible for a cat to look ashamed?

Record award to create Energy Frontier Research Center
The University of South Carolina has been selected by the U.S. Department of Energy to house a research center that is expected to bring $12.5 million in federal funding, the largest award in the university's history, to a team of internationally recognized energy researchers in the College of Engineering and Computing.
"This award solidifies the university's position as a leader in alternative-fuel research."
The center is one of 31 Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRCs) being set up by DOE's Office of Science at leading universities around the country for advanced scientific research on energy. Sixteen additional centers are being established at DOE national laboratories, non-profit organizations and private firms across the nation.
University of South Carolina President Harris Pastides says the award puts the university at the forefront of clean-energy research and will have a significant impact on local and state economy.
"This award solidifies the university's position as a leader in alternative-fuel research," Pastides says. "Moreover, it will advance the body of scientific knowledge related to alternative fuels and contribute to economic development in the Midlands and the Palmetto State."
Led by Dr. Ken Reifsnider, an internationally recognized researcher in solid-oxide fuel cells and director of the university's Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Center of Excellence, the University will concentrate on designing and creating materials essential for engineering devices such as:
- fuel cells
- electrolyzers
- electrodes
- photovoltaics
- combustion devices
- fuel-processing devices
- functional membranes and coatings
A key element of the center's research will focus on understanding the nano-structure and functionality of such materials.
Dr. Michael Amiridis, dean of the university's College of Engineering and Computing, says the fact that the award process was competitive and conducted by a panel of scientists in the field indicates that South Carolina's research is being recognized for its quality and competitiveness, both of which will boost recruitment of top students and faculty.
"The process for selecting these awards was very rigorous and was conducted by top scientists," Amiridis says. "This is especially important for our team because it validates their research and shows that it is being recognized for its value and its implications for advancing science. It will definitely strengthen our competitiveness in recruiting top students and faculty."
Reifsnider says the award is the culmination of a 20-year dream to find answers to fundamental questions about heterogeneous materials used in energy systems.
"It's a dream that I have had for more than 20 years," Reifsnider says. "These are the things that I sometimes would wake up in the night and think about. We are leading a major effort at the national and international levels, and our team of distinguished researchers is helping us do that. It is validation that we are doing something that is interesting and valuable."

CES 2013: How to Avoid Getting Sued by Apple? Have Good Lawyers, Source Says
Jason Mick
January 11, 2013 7:08 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Having a smaller market share may help a tiny bit too
Having a discussion with a source close to Japanese Android smartphone maker Sony Corp. (
) I noted how remarkable it was that Sony had
escaped any sort of litigation or publicly discussed licensing
with Microsoft Corp. (
) or Apple, Inc. (
). While Apple hasn't sued everyone, it has sued most of the top Android phonemakers. But Sony has escaped scott free.
How is it doing it?
Our source close to Sony confirms that he indeed knows the face of patent belligerence all to well, saying he's been called on as an expert to testify in several cases. He remarks, "A lot of those [lawsuits] have been pretty frivolous."
When asked specifically about Microsoft and Apple and how Sony has escaped lawsuits (or licensing demands) he said, "We've had a number of discussions... We've been pretty successful at fending off these onslaughts... [laughs] I guess we should give credit to our lawyers."
So there you have it; the electronics industry has devolved into how good a lawyer team is.
Sony has reportedly used some lawyer "kung-fu" to avoid lawsuits.
[Image Source: Sony Pictures]
It's no wonder why some of the U.S.'s oldest and most respected federal judges are saying
the patent system is broken in the U.S.
That same sentiment is also being echoed by top investors
like Mark Cuban
who bemoan the power of litigation to kill startups.
Sony for its part must have some pretty good lawyers. After all, its latest and greatest Xperia phones have slide to unlock graphics (which other Android phonemakers have been sued over) and also have a "Cover Flow"-like transition animation (Apple owns a patent on Cover Flow's animations).
With its
new "superphones"
hitting the product stream, the phonemaker's remarkable ability to ward off Apple lawsuits may boost its profitability and sales, assuming that situation does not somehow shift.
"So if you want to save the planet, feel free to drive your Hummer. Just avoid the drive thru line at McDonalds." -- Michael Asher

Influenza Virus Information
Influenza Virus Information
With the early arrival of flu season across the country and in North Texas, Tarleton health officials are urging students, faculty and staff to take preventive measures to protect their health.
Cases of influenza are expected to increase throughout the flu season. Because flu can spread by contact with people who are ill, Tarleton health officials recommend that community members take these precautions:
Get a flu shot
A limited number of flu shots are available for $20.00 at the Student Health Center. No appointment required.
Flu shots also are available at local pharmacies, clinics and physician's offices.
Wash your hands
Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer frequently, especially after touching common surfaces such as door handles.
Cover your mouth
Cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing with either a disposable tissue or a sleeve, and avoid touching your face. Avoid contact with people who are sick. Please get plenty of rest to keep the immune system working at its best.
Monitor your health
Flu symptoms include fever with cough or sore throat, and sometimes runny nose, body aches, headache, vomiting or diarrhea.
On-campus Resources
The Student Health Center is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Last appointment time is 4:30 p.m. Students should call (254) 968-9271 or visit the Health Center webpage to make an appointment. The Student Health Center is located in Suite 212 of the Thompson Student Center.
After Hours Options
Stephenville Medical Surgical Clinic (SMSC)
SMSC provides an after-hours clinic from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday. The number to call is (254) 965-2500. A student can make appointments with surrounding providers in the area by calling their office number. The clinic is located at 150 River North Blvd.
Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital
The hospital is part of the Texas Health Resources network and is located at 411 North Belknap Street at the intersection of Belknap and Tarleton streets. The number to call is (254) 965-1500
In an emergency, students should always call 911.
Already Sick?
Here's what to do if you are sick with the flu:
Stay home
Students with flu symptoms should stay home. Ill students should limit contact with others who are not sick. Those with flu-like symptoms should not return to class until they no longer have a fever (a temperature of less than 100.5 F) for at least 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications.
Inform instructors
Students with the flu should email their professors as soon as possible and let them know they have the flu. Residential students who are ill also may contact their residential leader or residential community director for assistance.
Order meals
Residential students who have the flu may order meals for pickup from Dining Services. Call 254-968-9445 for more information.
Seek medical attention
Students should seek medical attention if they have acute symptoms such as body aches, cough or a fever of more than 100.5. They should talk with a provider about appropriate medicine to treat flu or flu-like symptoms.
If students get worse after being on the medication for three or four days, they should come back to the Health Center to have their lungs rechecked to make sure they have not developed a secondary infection. Those with chronic health conditions, such as asthma, or complications should call the Health Center at (254) 968-9271.

'Now that's not to say they're only going to lose 10-12 games the rest of the year, of course, but it does a lot for their own egos and creates a lot more interest in the community for hockey as the league battles back. It could have been a diasterous lockout, but because I believe that every team has been helped financially, I don't think it could be when all is said and done.'

Q & A — November 2004
By Capt. Ken Kreisler
There is a Difference
| Electrolysis vs. galvanic corrosion, how far an inverter should be from the battery, and more.
What is the difference between electrolysis and galvanic corrosion? K.G., via e-mail
Galvanic corrosion involves two dissimilar metals, where the major change occurs in the metals and not the electrolyte. Here the best example is immersing your boat's bronze props and stainless steel shafts in sea water, which acts as an excellent electrolyte. With the two metals in direct contact with each other, and the salt water able to conduct electricity, an electrochemical reaction causes the flow of ions to attack and dissolve one of the metals. And as all metals have potential energy in the form of trapped electrons, these electrons migrate from metal to metal. The corrosion takes place because the metals have different electrical potentials. (The Galvanic Series of Metals in Sea Water chart, also known as the Galvanic Scale, lists the most-active to least-active metals.) In our example, the current will flow from the bronze, which has a relatively high electrical potential and is therefore the anode, to the stainless steel, possessing a lower potential and thus taking on the role of cathode. The result is corrosion of the props.
A number of environmental factors contribute to the rate and amount of galvanic corrosion, among them the temperature and salinity of the sea water and how close the anode and cathode are to each other. Warm, highly salinic water is most conducive to galvanic corrosion.
The most common form of protection is the use of sacrificial anodes, or zincs, since they are at the top of the most active metals of the Galvanic Scale and will corrode more easily than the other metals. The illustration here shows a zinc collar, positioned not too close to the strut so as to disrupt the flow of cooling water to the cutlass bearing. It will protect the props against the effects of galvanic corrosion.

Third graders charged fake money to use bathroom; Two empty-pocketed kids wet their pants
Two third graders at an elementary school in Vancouver, Wash. say they have wet their pants in the last week because they hadn't accumulated enough pretend classroom money to pay for trips to the bathroom.
Livid parents say the incidents occurred at Mill Plain Elementary, area CBS affiliate KIRO-TV reports.
The pretend money is designed to teach students about the value of money. Students earn the fictional funds by doing their homework, for example, or by being nice to others. They can spend it to buy pizza or pointless crap like a squirt gun. Students say they must also use the fake cash to pay for bathroom breaks.
The unidentified teacher exacts a seemingly high imaginary price for toilet time: $50.
"When it comes to a bathroom issue, when a child has to pay money to use the bathroom, that's wrong," mad mother Jasmine Al-Ayadhi told Portland ABC affiliate KATU. "It's inhumane. That's a health issue."
Al-Ayadhi's daughter, Reem, was one of the students who had an in-class accident. She was down to her final $50 on Thursday. She wanted to buy some popcorn. She also needed to pee. Unwisely, she chose to try to hold it in, which didn't work.

Screw 2: Cut To The Chase, Scene #04
- : 01/01/2007 |
- : 18:39 min |
- : 2398
Scene Info
Kent Larson reappears in scene 4 to take on uberstud Clay Maverick who stands waiting for someone to suck the cock peeking out from his extra-tight white briefs. Kent greedily drops to his knees and begins to service the stud, spinning him around to eat out his perfectly round lily-white ass; but Maverick has bigger plans for his other hole. After all, this movie isn't subtitled 'Cut to the chase' for nothing. Clay moves behind him and pounces on the big mound of muscle butt framed in a black jockstrap. After drilling him on all fours, Clay moves him onto his back and makes the muscle-stud hold his legs back, giving him free clearance to get way up in his fuck hole. Despite the ferocious fucking by Maverick, Larson begs for his hole to be truly screwed hard and deep. Clay obliges by pumping a 12-inch dildo in and out of his sloppy butt hole, sending Kent - and his gobs of hot spunk - flying.

46 to 48 God's pleading against idolatry; sovereign redemption
In chapters 46, 47, the application is made to Babylon and to her idols, but still as pleading for Israel as beloved of God; for governmental judgment is always the deliverance of the beloved righteous. Babylon with all her pride and all her idols must come down and sit in the dust. In chapter 48 Jehovah at length pleads with Israel. He specifies Israel, the name of relationship with Himself, Jehovah, which those He is pleading with bear and claim, while noting that they were descended from Judah -- in a word, the Jews, who had the place of Israel and called upon the name of the God of Israel; but He declares their wickedness and obstinacy. He had told them many things long before, and had made new revelations to them, that they might know that Jehovah is God. But they hearkened not; they did not understand. Nevertheless for the glory of His name Jehovah would not cut them off; but would refine them as silver. He reminds them in an affecting manner of the blessing they would have enjoyed had they kept His commandments. Nevertheless it is even now declared unto them that Jehovah has redeemed His people. But as for the wicked, there is no peace unto them. This continual pleading against idolatry, whilst giving instruction for that day, seems to prove that, up to the end, the question of Israel's either testifying against idolatry or being defiled with it themselves will have a principal place. For the government of the world it is a primary question. The god of this world governs by means of idols; Jehovah, by His own name. Israel ought to have been the witness of this. They will be unfaithful to it in the last days. This is the reason why there is so much testimony here on the subject.Synopsis by John Darby

Posters of Rihanna in Dublin being covered up by residents
Listen to Rihanna on iHeartRadio
Apparently the people of Dublin want Rihanna to cover up. At least one person - who the "Irish Independent" is calling "the mystery prude" - has taken it upon themselves to staple shirts and dresses onto the promotional posters of a topless Rihanna put up in anticipation of her upcoming concert there.
The image featured on the posters is the same one from the star's Unapologetic album cover. Photos of the covered-up Rihannas across the city have started to go viral on Twitter, according to the paper. But many Dubliners don't seem to have a problem with the racy shot of the singer.
The good citizens of Dublin dress up Rihanna's poster. #Unapologetic. Obviously. twitter.com/spinorbinmusic…— Spin or Bin Music (@spinorbinmusic) June 13, 2013
One Twitter user posted a photo of one of the billboards, commenting "Well done, you complete nutcase."
The U.K. leg of Rihanna's tour continues in Manchester and London this week, before heading over to Dublin next Friday.

Greg Loughran is a good shout
Greg Loughran is a good shout
Any ranked lightweight would be good and will be a great opportunity for them imo.
Loughran, Ray, Downes, Mulholland, Thomas, Wieczorek, Redmond. Either of these could add to it very well.
3-2-0 Pro Fighter managed by TFL Sports Agency
I'd like to see Steven Ray in there, think he could do well.
I'd like to know who the 2 unannounced fighters are.
Hope some guys come forward, suprised guys arent nagging Chris to get in this tourney!
Quite a lot of fighters don't like tournament formats though, maybe thats one of the issues in guys coming forward.
Jason Young just got cut from the UFC, I know he's featherweight now but he's fought lightweight before. He'd be an excellent addition to an otherwise amazing lineup.
Every name mentioned so far has been explored and offered place where they were not in contract or fighting same day/time. No takers.
Still an opportunity to enter this tournament and explode into the UK top ten in a nights work and earn £4000 plus

Photo Gallery: Grand Terrace home
GRAND TERRACE -- Arthur Jimenez woke to a loud noise in the middle of the night.
"We just heard a big bang," he said. "I thought it was an earthquake. "
Jimenez inspected his house, which sits atop a hill in Grand Terrace, and fell back asleep satisfied.
Then a knock at his front door Tuesday morning forced Jimenez out of bed again.
A government official told Jimenez and his wife, Rosalinda, they needed to evacuate their ranch home immediately. Someone reported the ground below the couple's patio was missing and water was flowing from a broken pipe.
San Bernardino County Fire Capt. Ed Noble said the loud bang Jimenez had heard may have been the foundation cracking.
A portion of the concrete and some land slid down the hill in the direction of a strip mall hundreds of feet below.
No one was injured.
Jimenez said he and his wife purchased the home in 1998 as a fixer-upper because of the "priceless" view overlooking the Inland Empire to the north.
He estimated the home on the 22800 block of Vista Grand Way to be worth about $700,000.
Tuesday afternoon Jimenez stood in front of his home in a driver's cap and red tie talking with reporters as a worker snipped the overhead electric lines leading into the home.
Jimenez took the day off from his physician practice in Victorville to move personal items and necessities to his son's home in nearby Riverside where the couple will be staying until given further notice.
On Wednesday a geological engineer will assess the damage and determine the fate of the home that has government documents posted on the front door describing it as "uninhabitable." It required a member of the Fire Department to accompany any family member into their residence.
In bold capital letters a red piece of paper reads, "unsafe. "

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated November 11th, 2013
Adnan Oktar: A gruesome policy of violence is carried out on our Muslim brothers and sisters living in Burma. Our government should issue a statement regarding the oppression going on in Burma. Our government should issue frequent statements regarding violence carried out all over the world. Bringing such issues to agenda in the presence of the UN, inland and abroad would gross the persecutors out of their persecution. The statements of ministers, statements of the Prime Minister, making it an issue in important meetings would put a fearsome pressure on them. It would be highly influential. That is why we kindly request them to make such statements and bring the persecution especially in Burma to the agenda. For instance a committee goes to East Turkestan regarding the persecution carried out there. That would be a great method of pressuring. Making such issues an agenda frequently, making Burma an agenda frequently, making a fuss everywhere and voicing the pressure, violence and pain inflicted on Muslims extensively and at length with proof would be very deterrent. I mean if you cry out saying; "fire!" there will be a lot of people running to extinguish the fire, but if you don't cry out saying; "There is fire!" that house would burn to ashes on its own. We need to point out to fires everywhere by making a great fuss. Our government should constantly do that. Our ministers should do that and so should our Prime Minister. Our PM Tayyip Erdoğan sometimes points out to such disasters but he should never refrain from it and he should explain it extensively. He should give voice to it insistently in every meeting, everywhere he goes to. We kindly request this from him.

Tech N9ne
Spotlight show • The 41-year-rapper and mogul, Tech N9ne, brings the Independent Powerhouse tour to Utah, where he claims to have "one of the bigger" fan bases. "We've been going there (to Utah) since 2001. It's a family affair. We have a connection there," he said in a recent telephone interview. The tour includes fellow musicians from his Strange Music label including Brotha Lynch Hung, Krizz Kaliko, Kutt Calhoun, Rittz, Ces Cru and Mista Icepick. A Kansas City native known for his quick rhyming, Tech N9n is finishing work on his much-anticipated album "Something Else," which is expected in July. He promised that the epic album would feature him rapping about "some of the things I've never said before." In the meantime, his ambitions is to remain as one of the most influential people in the so-called "underground rap" scene. "I'm trying to be number-one all over," he said. "My quest is for world domination. In the future, Strange Music will be a major." Perhaps by that time, his son, an aspiring rapper, will be a major star. "I hope it turns out," Tech N9ne said of his son's dreams. "I want him to do whatever he wants to do except if it's a pimp or gang-banger." The doting father even complimented his son's rhymes: "They weren't wack." But were they wiggity wack?"

The latest album, "Temper Temper," was released in February offering a looser, more organic sound, said frontman Matt Tuck in a recent telephone interview. "We wrote it as we went along," he said. "It was spur-of-the-moment. We just wanted to do something different." Tuck spent much of 2012 touring with the supergroup AxeWound, which offers a softer-edge that his metal band music. "I've always been a fan of the lighter stuff," he said, "like Def Leppard and Bon Jovi. Even Metallica isn't a screamy band." Halestorm, from Pennsylvania, features frontwoman Elizabeth Hale, better known as the vowel-less "Lzzy." In a phone interview, Lzzy said her guilty pleasure is music from the 1980s. "I can listen to Whitesnake all day," she said, adding that Heart's power ballad "All I Wanna Do is Make Love to You" is her "go-to karaoke song." That explains the band's 2011 all-covers EP, that includes songs by Guns N' Roses, Temple of the Dog and Skid Row. It also explains why the band's most recent album "The Strange Case Of..." features aggressive rockers and intimate ballads such as "Here's To Us," which actress Lea Michele sung on an episode of "Glee." The band is riding high after its blood-curdling lead single "Love Bites (So Do I)," won the 2013 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance. Halestorm become the only female-fronted band to win the category and to be nominated. "The Academy shouldn't know who we are," Lzzy said. "But it's fun to do the red carpet thing every girl's dream." Despite the experience, she doesn't do the social thing. "I don't party much," she said. "This ruins my rock-and-roll reputation." Young Guns and Stars in Stereo are also on the bill.

He grew up in Serbia, but moved with his family to Australia when the Bosnian War heated up in the early 1990s. Dirty South has produced, collaborated or remixed Snoop Dogg, The Pussycat Dolls, U2, Diddy, David Guetta, and, most notably, University of Utah-educated and former Utahn Kaskade. Dirty South's remix of Kaskade's "Sorry," which was nominated for a 2008 Grammy Award for Best Remixed Recording. He also was nominated in 2011 in the same category for a remix he and Axwell did for The Temper Trap's "Sweet Disposition." Dirty South counts Kaskade as a friend. "I know him pretty well," he said.

Aspiring singers of all ages can now showcase their abilities in front of some of the most prominent agents, managers, casting directors, producers and recording labels in the area.
Entertainment professionals will provide written feedback on each singer's performance.
The Talent Scout Expo in the lobby will allow singers to meet face-to-face with professionals in the entertainment industry who can promote their talent.
TALENT SCOUTS & VIP'S ATTENDING VOCAL SPORT III:-Michael Flynn (Stage, television, and film actor, writer, producer, director, and Founder/Director of The Actors Workshop)-Bob Ahlander (Director of Artists and Repertoire for Shadow Mountain Records, the premiere record label of Deseret Book)-Amber Evans (Founder/Director of Stars Talent Studio, an agency that develops, represents, and promotes singers, songwriters, musicians, and bands)-Rick Priddis (Founder/President of Priddis Music Company, home of the ProSound record label and The Castle Recording Studio)-Michelle O'Connell (Co-founder and Instructor of the Utah Talent Network, a program developed to promote, market and launch the finest talent in Utah)-Adam Reader (Lead singer for the Terks, awarded best unsigned band in the nation by Hollywood Music, and Co-founder and Instructor of the Utah Talent Network)-Sean Bingham (Co-founder of TopBlip.com, the leader in online music contests with tournaments including the Stadium of Fire where finalists compete to win $10,000) -McKay Crockett (Director of BYU Vocal Point, Producer of ReMix Vocal Academy, and past member of BYU Vocal Point who competed in NBC's The Sing-Off and placed in the top 5)-Keith Evans (Assistant Director of ReMix Vocal Academy and a current member of BYU Vocal Point who competed in NBC's The Sing-Off and placed in the top 5) Prizes will be offered by Talent Scouts who will independently select their own winners.

Barak acknowledges Israel´s cyber offensive for first time (HA´ARETZ NEWS) By Gili Cohen and Oded Yaron 06/07/12)
Source: http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/barak-acknowledges-israel-s-cyber-offensive-for-first-time-1.434767
HA'ARETZ} NEWS SERVICE Articles-Index-Top
Defense Minister says that Israel´s focus is on cyber defense, describing it as ´the more important and difficult component´; comments come one month after sophisticated Flame virus hits Iran.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Wednesday acknowledged Israel´s offensive cyberspace operations for the first time.
Speaking during a conference at Tel Aviv University, Barak stressed that in cyber warfare, as opposed to conventional warfare, it is more important to invest in defense than offense, and admitted for the first time that Israel has been developing and working on both tactics.
"Our goal with cyber defense, which is the more important and difficult component, is to prevent damage," Barak said. "It is more than we can benefit from an offensive action, even though both aspects exist."
Barak´s explicit statement that "both aspects exist" comes after the Israel Defense Forces´ website announced its cybernetics operations. There it was written that the operations include a focus on "information collection, defense, and classified military operations," among others.
"We are preparing to be at the frontline of the worldwide cyber battle, both in civil and security systems," Barak said.
Late last month, Iran accused Israel of being behind the Flame virus that struck its computer systems. Every official that inspected the virus including security companies, the UN Communications Agency and the Iranian security body said Flame was the most sophisticated virus they had encountered, and from data available to them Flame appears to be the product of a state. In addition, they said the level of sophistication indicates that a great deal of work and knowledge was invested into the program.
"A single hacker can cause tremendous damage to the economic or national systems. The cyber can cause a butterfly effect," Barak warned. "The free world is under threat of Iranian terror, rebel states and organized crime, but the tools have not yet been developed for a systematic response, not on a national level nor on a level of global cooperation."
In response to the foreign minister´s comments, Dr. Avitar Matanya, head of the National Cyber Defense Authority, said work is being done with the Justice Ministry and Foreign Ministry in two areas: principles for international cooperation, and the signing of agreements and treaties with foreign nations. Matanya said that by joining the international agreements and treaties with relevant countries, the State of Israel could "complement its strategic defense strategy and national infrastructure development program."

Post subject: Takes a licking, and keeps on... pointing!
I had a wee "mishap" yesterday with my Magellan Explorist.
I attended the Winter Carnival ReHash Bash yesterday at Crosby Lake Park. It was chilly out, so we had a nice wood fire going to keep warm.
After I got home, in my haste to rid myself of my smoke-scented jacket, I tossed it in the laundry, not even bothering to check my coat pockets. I had forgotten that my GPSr was inside one of the pockets.
After I got the laundry out of the dryer, I realized to my dismay that the GPSr had gone through both a long wash and dry cycle. I took it out of its case. I tossed the batteries. I removed a couple of small screws to get at its innards. The small circuit board and the LCD screen were moist. I used a hair dryer on the low/cool setting to dry things out inside.
After I let it sit awhile, I looked around inside with a magnifying glass to ensure it was totally dry. I popped the batteries back in and turned it on. I didn't expect it to work, but voila! It powered right up. I then took it outdoors to check on the antenna. I got a signal lock in the usual amount of time. It tracks well, marks well, and seems no worse for the wash.
So have any of you ever had a "GPSr mishap" where your GPSr ended up in the drink, crushed by rocks, dropped from a great height, etc., and you found out (much to your amazement) that it still worked?

I am amazed by how many people harp on the need to speak and write English in this country while exhibiting a fundamental lack of skills in the areas of spelling and sentence composition. Would this be irony, hypocrisy, or both?

Went out to find Movin 123 on a rock in the middle of a river in Hasings one day. Had to remove some clothing to wade out to the rock. got back to the car and discovered I had lost my trusty etrex. Went back to the spot and found it floating in the river behind a rock. It had been there for at least 20 minutes. Popped the batteries and put it on the dashboard with the defroster blowing on it. Got home, batteries in, powered up. Other that being a bit cleaner than when I kicked it into the river, you would never know anything happened.

Ditto for this. Only the rocks were wet and I slipped ad the GPS went flying. Banged my knee on a rock and said a few choice words. Went to find the gps and couldn't even find a scratch in it. It did however shot off. I just turned it back on and it was fine.
It's all kitch's fault!!

Not my GPS receiver, but a couple years ago in January I dropped my cell phone while getting into my tractor (front part of 18 wheeler...
) and left the parking spot. About 10 min. later, I found I didn't have it and went searching. To my dismay, I found it in the truck tire track I left when leaving the spot. The LCD was black and never did work after that and the housing was a bit flatter, but the thing worked! Used it for another couple of months till I got tired of calling different people till I got the right number.

Like a lot of police officers, Jim Hardie gets calls at all hours of the night.
After waking up and picking up the phone, he'll ask, "Where am I going?" The answer might be a homicide scene or a house where an armed man has barricaded himself inside.
Between three San Fernando Valley stations, he puts in 40 to 60 hours a week.
What sets Hardie apart is he doesn't make a dime for any of it. The 55-year-old, who has a full-time day job, might be the ultimate LAPD volunteer.
When officers and detectives see him arrive at a scene, they smile in relief.
Hardie's speciality is outfitting and manning "community mobile substations," the trucks that are more commonly called mobile command posts.
Hardie just calls the one from the Topanga Division "my home."
"He's come out to two incidents in a single night and gone for 24 hours straight," said Gene Parshall, an LAPD homicide detective.
Hardie, who lives in Sylmar, is assigned to Topanga, but he also works in the North Hollywood and Mission areas.
A retired Simi Valley police officer, he has been volunteering for the LAPD since 2003. He said he does it for the simplest reason: He likes to help.
"Law enforcement's kind of a funny thing," Hardie said. "You kind of get it in your blood. And I missed it."
He has outfitted and runs the trucks for the three Valley stations where he works. Officers can use them to interview witnesses, make phone calls, use the Internet, run suspects' records and write and fax applications for search warrants. Parshall, who's in Mission Division, said that saves investigators hours they'd otherwise spend driving back to stations.
It can also close a case.
In 2010, when 19-year-old Zachary Leon was stabbed to death in Sylmar, detectives questioned his friend in the command truck. The friend turned out to be the killer, Esteban Tabarez.
Tabarez was recently sentenced to prison thanks in part to the incriminating statement he gave detectives that night as Hardie kept the radio volume down and the doors closed.
When a North Hollywood apartment complex was evacuated, a police command truck was used to keep people warm and kids distracted by TV.
Hardie's dedication is legendary. Last month, he left a Christmas party early to return to a homicide scene so he could gas up and restock the truck after it had been used.
In March, he went to a scene in the rain and ran the truck while detectives got a search warrant. He didn't mention to the detectives that he'd learned of his mother's death just hours before, Parshall said.
Hardie, who is divorced with three children, grew up in Auburn, Calif., north of Sacramento. During the day, he's general manager for an alarm company.
Thanks mostly to booster money, the Topanga truck has Wi-Fi; a copier/fax/scanner; police, fire and ham radios; phone hookups; a satellite television; a laptop with Internet access; and a separate computer that's identical to the ones in police cruisers.
Less technical, but sometimes equally important: a coffee maker.
Equipment is bolted to the back and sides, including light poles, a table and chairs. The North Hollywood and Mission trucks, which are older, have slightly fewer bells and whistles.
The truck only holds about six people, so there's a TV monitor on the outside to allow larger groups of officers to watch something at a scene.
Hardie, who said he started "monkeying" with computers more than 10 years ago, has become an in-house IT department. Officers even ask him to fix their personal computers.
It was his technical know-how that led a friend, Sgt. Robert Schlesinger, to call and ask him to help with video retrieval. That led to his becoming a volunteer.
There are hundreds of LAPD volunteers, including 45 at the Topanga station.
"If it wasn't for our volunteers, there's a lot of things that wouldn't get done," said Sgt. Dave Cueto, head of community relations at the North Hollywood station.
A few years ago, Hardie discovered the LAPD had three "downlink" units that allow officers on the ground to see what colleagues in a helicopter are seeing. But they were sitting on a shelf because no one knew what to do with them.
Hardie suggested putting them in the command trucks, and one was used to help after the shooting of a K-9 police officer in Sylmar in 2011. One of the units is now in North Hollywood and scheduled to be moved to Topanga.
The Topanga truck, among the newest in the city, has also been used at massive gatherings, including the Kings' Stanley Cup celebration, May Day rallies and the shuttle Endeavour's drive through L.A.
Capt. Tom Brascia, the Topanga area commander, said he takes pride in seeing the truck with "Topanga" on its side in far-flung corners of the city.
Once a month, Hardie takes about six hours to clean his "home." But despite all his work, he won't take so much as a thank-you dinner, Parshall said.
Hardie has tried to train officers and other volunteers to do what he does, but to little avail. Few other people, it seems, have the time and expertise. Officers have other things to do besides run a truck, and there are few volunteers as dedicated as Hardie.
If someone else mans one of the trucks, sometimes it comes back with no gas or with things damaged or missing.
So Hardie will come out, gas up the tank and get the truck back in working order. Then he'll go home - until the next call.

Reviews of this property
We had an excellent stay at John's place. My colleague and I were welcomed by John with open arms. The appartment is very tidy and cosy. Breakfast made by John was delicious! He helped out giving us pointers about travelling around and all kinds of info we needed. We really felt welcome in his place
It is also a great stay if you have a coference in the very near Excell center; tube station is just 2 min walk so you are in the center of London in a heartbeat!
I would definitly recommend it!

Upper West Side
Upper West, from Central Park West to the Hudson River, 59th Street (excluding Columbus Circle) to 110th Street.
Every ten blocks of the Upper West Side seem to have its own character. The 70s and 80s have their share of "Classic Six" prewar apartments (that's two bedrooms, a living room, dining room, and kitchen plus a room for the maid or domestic staff, sometimes used as a home office) as opposed to a "Classic Seven," which has all these rooms in addition to another bedroom. Along Riverside Drive on the Upper West Side, some grand-scale apartment buildings with magnificent river views perfectly match the street's name. Meanwhile, the southern bit of the Upper West Side embraces the Time Warner Center, which has some of the most spectacular luxury condos in the city, along with high-end shops like Coach and Hugo Boss, once-in-a-lifetime eateries like Per Se, and a giant subterranean Whole Foods that seems to have the capability to hold every resident of the Upper West Side at once.

text: Chris Brown has been thrown out of his second rehab facility where he is dealing with anger management issues. Apparently he has not dealt with those issues very well because he was kicked out of the first one for throwing a rock at his mom's car window and this one for getting into a physical altercation with someone inside. The judge in Chris' case said that if Chris left rehab or got kicked out he would go directly to jail. Staffers at the facility called the judge and police were sent to pick up Chris who can now look forward to some quality jail time. I bet he doesn't try and get into any physical altercations with people inside jail. He is more of a beat those who are way smaller kind of person. Apparently Chris did have sex with one of the workers at the facility. She obviously finds women beaters attractive.

An investigation into the fatal heroin overdose of Garrett Reid, the oldest son of Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid, revealed there were steroids in his room the day he died, a Pennsylvania prosecutor said Monday.
Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli said that anabolic steroids were found in the room where Garrett Reid was staying when he overdosed on heroin Aug. 5 during Eagles training camp. Reid was helping the team's strength and conditioning coach at the time of his death.
Morganelli said there was no evidence that Reid was giving the steroids to any Eagles players. He said that investigators could not determine if the drugs were for Reid's own use or for distribution.
Eagles Chairman Jeffrey Lurie said that neither the organization nor the players were aware of or involved with the banned substances.
Packers keep kicker
The Green Bay Pakers are sticking with kicker Mason Crosby, coach Mike McCarthy said Monday. After missing a pair of field-goal attempts during the Packers' 21-13 victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday, Crosby is 17 of 29 (an NFL-worst 58.6 percent) this season and has botched at least one kick in the past eight games.


text: Lent has been the most meaningful season of the year for me for the past 10 years and I don't want to give it up. Ash Wednesday in particular. Twice on this day—morning and evening—I would place ashes on the foreheads of those who gathered, with the words, "You are dust, and to dust you shall return."It was also the season of the year in which I would garner the harshest criticism from my co-religionists, earning me more than one visit to my supervisor's office over the years.
