College can be just a tad stressful at times. As an avid Hopkins Interactive blog reader (as I'm sure you all are!), you probably get a sense of how involved students can be. In all honesty, it's hard to find a friend or student that's not involved in at least 2 things outside of class. Combine these extracurriculars with a desire to do well in classes, and (big surprise) you end up with a lot of stressed out students!
While I am no exception to this generalization, I've found that a few useful tricks have kept me from going completely crazy (for the most part, I think that my friends might argue otherwise!)
-Prioritize. I love writing out everything that I have to accomplish for the day. What do I love even more? Checking off everything on my list! Prioritizing can be done with your assignments in terms of deadlines, but it's also extremely useful in prioritizing all aspects of your life. Since you're likely to be at least a tad overwhelmed in that you probably can't complete every single task for the day, it's important to rank all of your activities in order of importance for you. Here's a look at how I've spent my time over the past 2 years at Hopkins…As you can see, the sleep priority has definitely taken a hit over the past year!
-Utilize every moment that you have. This is also where prioritizing comes in since you'll want to know exactly what to work on first! For me, I like to multi-task when at all possible. Although slightly embarrassing, painting my nails while listening to biology lecture podcasts, reviewing my notes for my 9am class while curling/straightening my hair every morning, and sometimes bringing orgo reaction mechanism sheets to the gym are some of my weirdest habits. If multi-tasking isn't your thing, you can still make the most of your time by setting time limits on the amount of daily unproductive activities. In my case, my biggest, most unproductive activity is definitely watching the cheesiest show on television- the bachelor! To make the most of my time, I try to limit myself to watching the show only when I've accomplished something awesome- like going to office hours, or taking a big test, or finishing all of my homework for the week.
-Plan ahead. Being involved in a bunch of extracurriculars is super fun and rewarding, but an extracurricular can easily fall by the wayside if you simply do not have any more time to devote. The last thing that you want to do is sacrifice your grades for an extracurricular or two, and that's where planning comes in. Everyone's different, but in my opinion, planners and wall calendars are the way to go in terms of scheduling out future events.Participating in recruitment week for Phi Mu was a great way to test my planning skills since the time commitment really escalated so quickly! While I still felt a bit overwhelmed, doing the majority of my assignments ahead of time allowed for me to devote enough time to Phi Mu! I even scheduled out enough time to make the recruitment video -- check it out!
-Keep your life relatively in order. Maybe it's just me, but I truly cannot function in a messy room. Cleaning and organizing (especially your school papers and books) can save you a lot of time in the long run since you'll be able to find things easily (and not become frustrated instead).
-Stay inspired, stay positive. It's easy to fall into the habit of being hard on yourself, especially if you have high expectations and goals for yourself. You work so hard, but it isn't good enough! Sound familiar? I don't know about you, but in my case, negativity doesn't get me anywhere. Luckily, I've found some pretty inspiring mentors, ranging from my trusty pre-med advisor to my wonderful and truly inspiring mentor at the JHU medical school. Whenever I meet with these two women, I feel recharged with renewed motivation, and I know that everything will be worth it in the end. Along with mentors and helpful advisors, I think it's important to surround yourself with positive and supportive friends. In my case, I'm extremely fortunate to have 2 rocks- my best friend Kaitlin and my boyfriend Virgil. I do not know where I would be without these two, and I truly appreciate them dealing with my usual stressed out state!
That's all for now! Have a stress-free day :)

Stacy Keibler Gossip
Stacy Keibler gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
GOOP & Natalie Green
Wenn, Imeh Akpanudosen/ Getty
Please don't make me tell you who Natalie Green is. Oh it's like that, is it? Fine. I'm old. I can take it. Click here. The payoff comes at the 1:00 mark. But don't fall into a YouTube hole and not come back. We have so much more to talk about today! Anyway, Mindy Cohn, aka Natalie Green, showed up at the opening of the Tracy Anderson Flagship Studio yesterday starring not Tracy Anderson but Gwyneth Paltrow, her most famous, most toned, most quinoa-ed client. Full Story
The End Is Near but not yet
Wenn, FameFlynet
US Weekly reported a couple of weeks ago that the "end is near" for Stacy Keibler and George Clooney. They'd not spent much time together the last few months. The unreliable UK Sun followed up with that and went full bullsh-t on a story about George kissing her off with an apartment and some cash. Full Story
Stacy Keibler: on her way out?
Wenn, AdMedia/ Splash
As I reported a couple of days after the Oscars, every source I talked to that weekend was of the opinion that George Clooney and Stacy Keibler had entered the third act of their relationship. I also wrote that she was rumoured to be calling Geoff Stults behind George's back; Stults is an actor she was dealing with before she and Clooney started dating. Full Story
Post-Oscars George & Stacy
Wenn, FameFlynet
Fresh off his Oscar win for Argo, George Clooney was in Germany yesterday accepting the Deutscher Medienpreis Award. Stacy Keibler, meanwhile, was photographed running errands in LA. You know, they've not been together all that much this year. He's spent some time overseas and she's been in the States shooting her show. Full Story
Best use of George Clooney
Wenn, Jason Merritt/ Kevin Winter/ Getty
Please can we enjoy this moment again? I love this moment. I loved it when Amy Poehler sat on George Clooney's lap when his category was being presented. Look at his face. Look at that smile. This is when I love him the most. He's game, you know? As Duana said at the time, George Clooney is rarely pouty. Full Story
Jen, Justin, and George
Every time George Clooney makes a movie these days it's considered an Oscar contender. Who wouldn't want in on some of that action? Is that why Justin Theroux signed with CAA? His fiancée can help with that too. So while Brange is off with their nanny militia over in the Caribbean, the child-free celebrity circuit is counting down to 2013 on the other side -- she and Justin apparently had dinner with George and Stacy Keibler in Cabo the other night. Full Story
Stacy Keibler's second Clooney Christmas?
FayesVision /WENN, Kevin Winter /Getty Images
There were two false reports of a split this year and, at last check over Thanksgiving, Stacy Keibler is still the official George Clooney companion, with all its benefits and accessories as rewards for not asking for marriage and children. So it'll be her second Clooney Christmas, if there's no change in status. Full Story
George's Mexican Thanksgiving
Ok we'll get to that in a minute but first... Look how tall Presley Gerber is! Cindy Crawford's son will be 14 next July. If I were his age, he would be trouble for me. So here's George Clooney with his best friend Rande and his family and yes, of course, Stacy Keibler too, all of them spending Thanksgiving together in Mexico. Full Story
George Clooney's girlfriend gets to present
FameFlynet, Kevin Winter/ Jason Merritt/ Getty
Stacy Keibler presented at the American Music Awards last night because... She's dating George Clooney? Far as I know there's not much else to promote. And whatever she does have to promote, I'm pretty sure it's not on ABC either. Whatever. We've already established that being George Clooney's girlfriend has its many advantages, so long as you're not a dumbass about the contraband, marriage and babies. Full Story
George Clooney and Stacy's crowd
Wenn, Christopher Polk/ Getty
Stacy Keibler accompanied George Clooney to the Carousel Ball of Hope the other night. Or maybe I should say that George Clooney accompanied Stacy Keibler. Because... well... here are some of the other people at the event: Joan Van Ark Charlene Tilton Jason Davis Nicollette Sheridan Jennie Garth Nicky Hilton Julianne Hough Carmen Electra Cheryl Burke I mean. Full Story
What George gave Stacy
Jackson Lee/ Splash
Here are George Clooney and Stacy Keibler arriving in New York yesterday after a weekend of Obama supporting in California. Really into what she's wearing here. Her casual clothes are actually pretty cute. It's when she has to get dressed up where we run into problems. Anyway, they had dinner with Bill Murray last night. Full Story

Project DescriptionThe Integral House by Toronto-based Shim-Sutcliffe Architects incorporates a 200-person performance space for music, and myriad sustainable features such as geothermal heating and cooling, a green roof, and vertical wood fins that provide sun shading as well as acoustical benefits. Materials were selected for their aesthetics as well as life-cycle costs.
Jury: "The relationship of the home to both its musical program and its surrounding environment was superbly articulated. … The louvered vertical fins modulate the light and views to the exterior surroundings, as well as correlate to music theory rooted in strong rhythm and syncopation."
Client: "I had two major requirements. One, I wanted curves. Although Brigitte [Shim] and Howard [Sutcliffe] had not used curves in their previous work, they have come up with some particularly beautiful curves. … The other requirement was a performance space. And I think they've done a brilliant job of incorporating the performance space into the everyday workings of the house. It's not a separate thing." —James Stewart, owner

Special Situations
Find your local Chapter
In a Disaster
Disaster situations, such as a hurricane, tornado, heat wave, blizzard or forest fire, can have a significant impact on everyone's safety, but they can be especially upsetting and confusing for individuals with dementia.
Plan ahead
- Make an emergency plan.
See the "Help Is Available" box on this page. It has links to websites with helpful planning tips. As part of your plan, prepare an emergency kit.
- Take specific needs into account.
For example, if the person with Alzheimer's or other dementia uses a walker or portable oxygen, be sure your emergency evacuation plans accommodate these needs.
- Identify those who will help you.
Are there friends or relatives you can stay with if you have to evacuate? If the person receives routine health procedures at a clinic or with home health, who are the back-up service providers? Have contact information easily accessible.
- Learn how to get prescriptions and care.
Purchase extra medication to have a supply on hand. Download Medicare's Getting Care and Drugs in a Disaster Area. It explains how Medicare beneficiaries have special rights to get out-of-network care if they live in an area where the President has declared a disaster.
- Consider enrolling the person in a safety program.
The Alzheimer's Association offers MedicAlert® + Alzheimer's Association Safe Return®, designed to assist in the return of those who get separated from their caregivers.
- Make sure medical records are accessible.
It's important to have access to health records, especially in the case of an emergency. There are now many options for storing personal health records, including online services that make it possible to access records from anywhere in the world. Regardless of how you choose to store personal health information, make sure there are people other than the primary caregiver who have access to or copies of the person with dementia's medical history, medications, physician information and family contacts.
If an individual lives in a residential facility, learn about its disaster/evacuation plans. Find out who is responsible for evacuating the person in the event of an emergency.
Prepare an emergency kit
Being prepared in case of an emergency is crucial. Put together an emergency kit in a watertight container, and store it in an easily accessible location.
- Copies of important documents, such as legal papers, a list of medications and dosages, and insurance information
- Several sets of extra clothing
- Extra medication
- Incontinence products
- Identification items, such as a MedicAlert® + Alzheimer's Association Safe Return® ID bracelet and clothing labels
- A recent picture of the person with dementia
- Physician's name, address, phone numbers, including cell phone
- Bottled water
- Flashlight with extra batteries
- Favorite items or foods
The American Red Cross website offers information about preparing for an emergency and where to find shelter and supplies in a disaster.
The National Hurricane Center provides hurricane alerts and tips to prepare for a hurricane.
Ready.gov has information about what to do before, during and after a disaster.

America Corrales-Bortin grew up in the city of Culiacán in Sinaloa, Mexico. As a young child she would watch her mother prepare the dishes that became the recipes at America's Taco Shop.

Have you tried following the tutorial on http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php ?
Hello to all, I have a problem!
After to have:
1) It shapes in mode monitor my card intel 4965
2) executed a airodump leaked for the logon that interests to me
3) Executed a false authentication with the net
When I carry out an attack with aireplay, as an example a fragmen attack, it does not find no apt package to me but it remains fixed in continuous reading of packages, arrives also to 10000 but not finding no package apt for injiection
PS.Excused my not perfect English
My problem is that, started:
aireplay-ng -5 - b xx: xx: xx: xx: xx: xx - h xx: xx: xx: xx: xx: xx mon0
The Fragmentation attack does not make me to choose the package from being able to use later on with packetforge-ng.
It remains in continuous " Read ?? packets" without never they give to me option:
" Use this packet? y"
AP is found to approximately 1 meter from me!
My suggestion is in other words, connect another computer or wireless device to the AP and try the attack again.
-Monkeys are like nature's humans.
Yes, I am myself that I have traffic towards AP as before I have started in an other shell a fake authentication with:
aireplay-ng -1 0 -e xxx -a xx:xx:xx:xx:xx -h xx:xx:xx:xx:xx mon0
My card is: Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN
I have tried also when a my friend was connected but the result is the same never does not find a package, with all of the several attacks, not only with Fragmentation attack
This should help
Use wpa_supplicant for fakeauth

LONG BEACH — The Long Beach Unified Board of Education on Tuesday gave unanimous approval to cut the district's Head Start preschool program.
The program will be eliminated starting in the 2013-2014 academic year for an annual savings of $225,000.
Head Start is part of a federal program meant to provide preschool for low-income families. It serves more than 2,000 children in 23 preschool centers across Long Beach.
The program is federally funded, but Superintendent Chris Steinhauser said Head Start has been encroaching on the school district's budget for the past several years due to cuts in government funding.
"I think there's not a single soul in this room who doesn't have great things to say about Head Start. Our program has been a national model," Steinhauser said. "But the district from day one has said no (federal) program could encroach on the general budget."
Steinhauser said the elimination of Head Start in the 2013-2014 year would give staff and families time to look for other options. He said the district plans to look for other, long-term solutions for preschool that are more budget friendly.
Joe Boyd, executive director of the Teachers Association of Long Beach, which represents the district's teachers, said LBUSD is using the closing of Head Start as a pawn in collective bargaining with the union. He said the $225,000 is a small percentage in the district's budget for a "longstanding and successful program."
"We urge the district to instead make a long-term commitment to this program for our youngest and most vulnerable students," he said, speaking before the board.
The board also voted to reorganize its custodial services for a savings of $74,800. The reorganization will include reassigning 22 lead custodians to the position of basic custodian and will establish a one-year pilot program that emphasizes accountability and communication.
The final round of reductions approved on Tuesday is part of an overall $21 million in budget cuts for the 2012-2013 fiscal year. The district must cut more than $20 million from its $700 million operating budget to remain fiscally stable, officials have said.
New City warning
In other business Tuesday, the board unanimously approved sending a notice to New City Public School asking the charter school system to correct serious deficiencies. New City, which has more than 500 students at campuses on 1637 Long Beach Blvd. and 1230 Pine Ave., is struggling to meet its financial and academic obligations, district officials said.
LBUSD spokesman Chris Eftychiou said the school district was recently notified that New City hasn't made its monthly $40,000 payments on a $5.4 million loan since December.
Several concerned parents from New City attended the meeting to urge the district to keep the school open.
Parent Madeline Holler said the school in January established a new dual language immersion program that needs time to grow.
"Our little school is not perfect, but we also know it's the only school in the district that offers this kind of program," said Parent Madeline Holler. "I'm here tonight to ask you to allow the academic and financial changes that have already been put in place to work."
Sabrina Bow, executive director of New City, said the school is in the midst of significant changes.
"We understand that the district takes its oversight very seriously, and we also take our oversight and the performance of our students very seriously," Bow said. "We're confident in putting together a turnaround plan to present it to the district."
For now, New City will have a chance to correct its deficiencies. But if the problems continue, the school district has the authority to revoke New City's charter.

It's been a long time
FameFlynet, Sharky/ Splash
Since we've seen much of Alexander Skarsgard. He was practically invisible during promotion for the final season of True Blood. Work scheduling, of course, of course, of course.

The final season of True Blood premieres this coming weekend, Sunday at 9pm on HBO Canada and HBO. It's supposed to replace your longing for Game Of Thrones.

Alexander Skarsgard was at Coachella. He's a regular. Kate Bosworth was at Coachella. She's a regular. And they used to regular at Coachella together. Until he got tired of that game.

But this, and others, are just minor quibbles when presented with such a unique, massive, beautiful and enthralling piece of art.
Sinclair herself was born in New York in 1948 and raised in Paris, an heiress to Rosenberg's art fortune.
Most art history books cite Giotto as the first great painter of the Renaissance.
Word of Deitch's appointment in 2010 made big news in the art world.
If you are in the market to buy, "Your art budget is somewhere between your grocery budget and your savings budget," he says.
If she could have set her imagination free in an art she would have been far safer than she was.
Not to admire, is all the art I know, To make men happy, and to keep them so.
So it is that everywhere the high function of art is to reveal.
This opinion is highly favourable to the artiste and the art.
This much, however, can be said about Japanese art—that it is original.
early 13c., "skill as a result of learning or practice," from Old French art (10c.), from Latin artem (nominative ars) "work of art; practical skill; a business, craft," from PIE *ar-ti- (cf. Sanskrit rtih "manner, mode;" Greek arti "just," artios "complete, suitable," artizein "to prepare;" Latin artus "joint;" Armenian arnam "make;" German art "manner, mode"), from root *ar- "fit together, join" (see arm (n.1)).
In Middle English usually with a sense of "skill in scholarship and learning" (c.1300), especially in the seven sciences, or liberal arts. This sense remains in Bachelor of Arts, etc. Meaning "human workmanship" (as opposed to nature) is from late 14c. Sense of "cunning and trickery" first attested c.1600. Meaning "skill in creative arts" is first recorded 1610s; especially of painting, sculpture, etc., from 1660s. Broader sense of the word remains in artless.
Fine arts, "those which appeal to the mind and the imagination" first recorded 1767. Expression art for art's sake (1824) translates French l'art pour l'art. First record of art critic is from 1847. Arts and crafts "decorative design and handcraft" first attested in the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society, founded in London, 1888.
Supreme art is a traditional statement of certain heroic and religious truths, passed on from age to age, modified by individual genius, but never abandoned. The revolt of individualism came because the tradition had become degraded, or rather because a spurious copy had been accepted in its stead. [William Butler Yeats]
"produced with conscious artistry," as opposed to popular or folk, 1890, from art (n.), possibly from influence of German kunstlied "art song" (cf. art film, 1960; art rock, 1968).

Old English munuc "monk" (used also of women), from Proto-Germanic *muniko- (cf. Old Frisian munek, Middle Dutch monic, Old High German munih, Ger. Mönch), an early borrowing from Vulgar Latin *monicus (source of French moine, Spanish monje, Italian monaco), from Late Latin monachus "monk," originally "religious hermit," from Ecclesiastical Greek monakhos "monk," noun use of a classical Greek adjective meaning "solitary," from monos "alone" (see mono-). For substitution of -o- for -u-, see come.
In England, before the Reformation, the term was not applied to the members of the mendicant orders, who were always called friars. From the 16th c. to the 19th c., however, it was usual to speak of the friars as a class of monks. In recent times the distinction between the terms has been carefully observed by well-informed writers. In French and Ger. the equivalent of monk is applied equally to 'monks' and 'friars.' [OED]
Old English beon, beom, bion "be, exist, come to be, become, happen," from Proto-Germanic *biju- "I am, I will be." This "b-root" is from PIE root *bheue- "to be, exist, grow, come into being," and in addition to the words in English it yielded German present first and second person singular (bin, bist, from Old High German bim "I am," bist "thou art"), Latin perfective tenses of esse (fui "I was," etc.), Old Church Slavonic byti "be," Greek phu- "become," Old Irish bi'u "I am," Lithuanian bu'ti "to be," Russian byt' "to be," etc. It also is behind Sanskrit bhavah "becoming," bhavati "becomes, happens," bhumih "earth, world."
The modern verb to be in its entirety represents the merger of two once-distinct verbs, the "b-root" represented by be and the am/was verb, which was itself a conglomerate. Roger Lass ("Old English") describes the verb as "a collection of semantically related paradigm fragments," while Weekley calls it "an accidental conglomeration from the different Old English dial[ect]s." It is the most irregular verb in Modern English and the most common. Collective in all Germanic languages, it has eight different forms in Modern English:
BE (infinitive, subjunctive, imperative)
AM (present 1st person singular)
ARE (present 2nd person singular and all plural)
IS (present 3rd person singular)
WAS (past 1st and 3rd persons singular)
WERE (past 2nd person singular, all plural; subjunctive)
BEING (progressive & present participle; gerund)
BEEN (perfect participle).
The paradigm in Old English was:
|1st pres.
|ic eom
ic beo
|we sind(on)
we beoð
|2nd pres.
|þu eart
þu bist
|ge sind(on)
ge beoð
|3rd pres.
|he is

Michael flew down the mountain in his first run with a time of 43.41 seconds and followed it up with 47.87 seconds in his second attempt to post an overall combined time of 1-minute 31.28 seconds and grab second place. Robert was right on his brother's heels racing in at 43.21 and 49.24 to finish at 1:32.45 and take third place. Another fraction of a second behind them came the youngster Peter McDowell with run times of 46.58 and seconds to win fourth place with a mark of 1:32.57.
For the girls, Olivia McDowell continued her stellar season leading the Lady Miners with a time of 44.13 seconds in her first run and 48.93 seconds in her second run, earning a combined time of 1-minute, 33.06 seconds which earned her sixth place overall.

FTS Selects for Award Telecommunications Integrator Services Contractor
April 10, 1997
Contact: Bill Bearden
(202) 501-1231
Internet: email@example.com
On behalf of the Department of Energy (DOE), the U.S. General Services Administration today selected Electronic Data Systems (EDS) of Herndon, Virginia as the apparent winner of a five-year, $600 million, contract for Telecommunications Integrator Services (TELIS). The actual contract award is subject to a final determination that EDS and its subcontractors are free of foreign control or influence.
GSA's Federal Telecommunications Service/Office of Information Technology Integration, Federal Computer Acquisition Center (FEDCAC), made the selection for DOE.
EDS teamed with GTE Customer Networks, Inc. (Alpharetta, Georgia), McFadden & Associates Inc. (Silver Spring, Maryland), Lucent Technologies (Greensboro, North Carolina), and Native American Sales, Inc. (Englewood, Colorado) in preparing its proposal. EDS and its subcontractors will provide systems integration, network engineering, installation, maintenance, management, and operational support for DOE's voice, data, and video technologies.
"Under the terms of the TELIS contract," Charles Self, Assistant Commissioner for ITI said, "the EDS team will be measured both by how well it satisfies DOE's communications needs and how much money it saves the government."
Under this contract, DOE expects to (1) benefit from innovative telecommunication solutions and processes; (2) realize substantial cost savings by conformance to a department-wide communications infrastructure design and through reduced procurements for like services and products, and (3) improve the accessibility and use of departmental data and information.
"The selection of EDS as the apparent winner for the TELIS award completes a procurement process that was innovative and cost effective for both Government and Industry," Self said. "FEDCAC will continue to use the increased latitude granted by recent acquisition reforms to better serve client-agency needs."
Recognizing its needs for expertise in large information technology procurements, DOE enlisted FEDCAC services in developing the acquisition strategy, preparing the Statement of Objectives, devising the proposal evaluation, and selecting an apparent winner. DOE and FEDCAC sought industry advice in designing, what they and industry believe was an innovative procurement strategy. Pre-qualification of prospective bidders based on past performance, use of a Statement of Objectives rather than the traditional Statement of Work, and the employ of a limited number of precise proposal discriminators were some of the innovative techniques used in the TELIS acquisition.

I 'm having trouble understanding what kind of error the validator is generating. I tried to google my problem but it seems that i can't find any result.
Here is the error. I'm not really sure what it means.
Bad value http://digitalspin.ph/federalland/wp-content/themes/Federal Land/css/1218.css for attribute href on element link: Whitespace in path component. Use %20 in place of spaces.
http://digitalspin.ph/federalland/wp-content/themes/Federal Land/css/1218.css
Here is the link for the website: http://digitalspin.ph/federalland/
The error is the space between the words Federal and Land
…nd/wp-content/themes/Federal Land/js/flexslider/jquery.flexslider.js"
it is suggesting that you use %20 instead of the space as it will then validate. Personally I try and avoid space in filenames/paths/folders etc
would work
Oh man thanks, the error was a bit vague or for me technical and i really have no idea what was wrong.
Now i have another problem. I renamed the name of my Theme Folder "Federalland" with no spaces in wordpress and the website appears blank when i visit it. I even tried updating the permalink but it only appears blank
Seems to be back online now
I just reverted it back to Federal Land w/ space. Hmmmm not sure what seems to be the problem.
You could just do a global replace of the space with the %20 code, then you dont need to change anything in your paths.
Hmm how can i do that? This is what my code looks like in the header
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/css/1218.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo("stylesheet_url") ?>"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/jquery-1.10.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/jquery-ui.js"></script>
It is the value being returned from the bloginfo('template_url') call so presumably the actual URL only appears in one spot - so once you fid that spot it will be easy to fix..
Might have trouble finding it but thanks for your insights..
Probably found in Settings > general as the root url for your template folder
Managed to fix. Basically once i renamed the folder name of the theme with no spaces, i just had to activate the theme again, update the permalink and fix the navigation.

Georges Mathieu Biography
George Mathieu was born 27. January 1921, in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France.
For him the pure act of painting was more important than many other things. 'it is interesting and very exciting'. And to share his excitement he often performed in front of a big audience even in television studios from where his style of painting was broadcasted - action painting in it's pure form. Mathieu demonstrated that painting itself had become the subject of painting. The flows of paint and his brushstrokes had become its 'content'. Also concurrently Action Painting developed in the United States.
As an artist Georges Mathieu received international acclaim; his works were shown from the early 1950s at special exhibitions in both Paris and New York. Mathieu participated in numerous group shows worldwide. In 1959 works of Mathieu's were shown at documenta II in Kassel. In the early 1960s George Mathieu sculpted but also produced designs for furniture, tapestries and murals.
Mathieu said his style of art is to be understood as 'lyrical abstraction'. Parts in his paintings seems to be similar to Far-East calligraphic pictographs. His use of brushes was dynamic and purely dramatic, even theatrical in nature.

5 Must-See Charts to Trade for Gains - views
BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- Earnings season is drawing to a close that should help to yank some of the headline risk out of the stock market for the next month or two. And it's setting the stage for upside for the rest of the summer.
Over the course of this rally, earnings seasons have been a chance for the market to hold its breath. That's not hugely surprising; after all, this has been one of the most-hated equity rallies in history, so it makes sense that investors have braced for a smack-down each quarter during earnings.
Thing is, it hasn't happened. So as the broad market fuels up for another big move, it makes sense to take a technical look at the breakout trades forming infive of the biggest names on Wall Street. These are five must-see charts.
If you're new to technical analysis, here's the executive summary.
Technicals are a study of the market itself. Since the market is ultimately the only mechanism that determines a stock's price, technical analysis is a valuable tool even in the roughest of trading conditions. Technical charts are used every day by proprietary trading floors, Wall Street's biggest financial firms, and individual investors to get an edge on the market. And research shows that skilled technical traders can bank gains as much as 90% of the time.
>>5 Rocket Stocks to Buy Before They Blast Off
Every week, I take an in-depth look at big names that are telling important technical stories. Here's this week's look at five high-volume stocks to trade this week.
Up first, it makes sense to take a closer look at what's going on in the big picture: the S&P 500. To make it tradable, we'll use the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) as our proxy. At first glance, you don't have to be an expert technical trader to figure out what's going on in the big index; the S&P uptrend is still very much intact this month.
>>5 Stocks Set to Soar on Bullish Earnings
It's just not the same uptrend that SPY was in back at the start of the summer, but that's OK. While SPY may not be moving up at quite the same pace that it started at, the fact that this ETF is making higher highs and lows comes without question. Earnings season started on July 8, and as you can see from the chart above, the S&P has basically been consolidating sideways ever since. Consolidations are healthy for stock rallies, giving traders a chance to catch their breath and establish a base, and with earnings season ending, the uptrend looks likely to resume.
When stocks are trending higher, there really isn't a bad time to be a buyer -- but there is an optimal time. That optimal buying point comes when SPY bounces off of trendline support. Buying off a support bounce makes sense for two big reasons: it's the spot where shares have the furthest to move up before they hit resistance, and it's the spot where the risk is the least (because shares have the least room to move lower before you know you're wrong).
That's when I'd suggest picking up shares of this ETF.
Apple (AAPL) has had a less impressive run in 2013. Shares of the tech behemoth are down around 6% since the calendar flipped over to January -- not horrific performance unless you consider the fact that the S&P 500 has gained more than 18% over that period. Ouch.
>>5 Tech Stocks to Watch for Breakout Trades
But Apple's bear run looks like it's nearing an end thanks to a multi-month breakout above the $460 level. Apple is breaking out of a double bottom pattern, a setup formed by two swing lows that take place at approximately the same price level. In AAPL's case, those swing lows bottomed out in late April and late June, and this week's breakout signals a buy.
Momentum adds some extra confirmation to upside in AAPL: 14-day RSI has been in an well-defined uptrend since the stock's second bottom back in June. Since momentum is a leading indicator of price, that's a good sign for Apple bulls. If you decide to jump in here, just keep a protective stop in place.
Micron Technology
Another big tech name that's breaking out this week is Micron Technology (MU). Shares of the $15 billion flash storage firm spent the last month and change tracking sideways in a setup called a "rectangle pattern," but after the stock pushed through resistance at $14.50, traders are getting a buy signal in this stock as well.
>>5 Stocks Setting Up to Break Out
Whenever you're looking at any technical price pattern, it's critical to think in terms of buyers and sellers. Rectangles, double bottoms and other price pattern names are a good quick way to explain what's going on in this stock, but they're not the reason it's tradable. Instead, it all comes down to supply and demand for shares.
That resistance line at $14.50, for example, is a price at which there was an excess of supply of shares; in other words, it's a place where sellers had been more eager to take recent gains and sell their shares than buyers were to buy. That's what made the move above it so significant -- the breakout indicated that buyers are finally strong enough to absorb all of the excess supply above that price level.
If you jump in here, I'd recommend putting a protective stop just below the 50-day moving average.
Oil and gas supermajor Chevron (CVX) is another name that's showing investors a bullish technical setup right now. Chevron is forming a textbook ascending triangle pattern, a price setup that we've seen a lot of on the way up in 2013. Here's how to trade it.
>>5 Short-Squeeze Stocks Ready to Pop
Chevron's ascending triangle is formed by horizontal resistance above shares at $127.50 and uptrending support below shares. Basically, as CVX bounces in between those two technical price levels, it's getting squeezed closer and closer to a breakout above $127.50. When that breakout happens, we've got our buy signal.
The energy sector spent the last quarter as a bit of a laggard, but it's been heating back up in the last month and change. With a breakout trade getting close to triggering here, Chevron offers one of the best-in-breed ways to play the trend this summer.
Green Mountain Coffee Roasters
Last up is Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR), a stock that I wrote about yesterday as a potential short squeeze name. Besides the hefty shorting in GMCR (the short interest ratio sits at 11.4), this stock is also showing some technical strength right now, a combo that could magnify this stock's upside potential in the near-term.
>>5 Stocks With Big Insider Buying
GMCR has been forming an inverse head and shoulders pattern, a setup that's formed by two swing lows that bottom out at approximately the same price level (the shoulders), separated by a deeper swing low (the head). Typically, inverse head and shoulders patterns show up at the bottom of a stock's recent price action -- not the case here. Instead, GMCR's setup is showing up at the top of its recent price action. But as I mentioned, whether or not the pattern is "textbook" matters a whole lot less than the supply and demand forces causing it. Either way, the trading implications look good in GMCR right now.
The buy signal for Green Mountain comes on a breakout above its neckline at $82.50. When that level gets taken out, this stock becomes a high probability trade. From a risk-management standpoint, it makes sense to keep a protective stop just below the right shoulder.

SBD (Secure BackDoor) isnt part of metasploit! Its like netcat!
I used SBD as a backdoor, so if later if I wish to get access again it makes life alot easier, instead of re using metasploit and exploiting them. For example if the service(s) which I was exploiting could be closed/stop or they could of done a system update stopping the exploit but by using SBD, I'm straight back in !
If you wish to get the lastest SBD:

I'm doing all the SBD from ./msfcli via a script (fakeap_pwn.rb)
I could also of done it from ./msfconsole and used fakeap_pwn.rc - which then calls fakeap_pwn.rb later - I just cut out the middle man! (NOT in the 7z). For both of them, you use AutoRunScript to call the script.
Thanks for the links - Im going to give them a read!
Does any of that help?
dnspentest - I tired using that (the commands are in the script, just comment out). For some reason that didn't work for me!

Redlands Conservancy plans to use more than 200 acres of Redlands' outdoors to benefit youths, and Southern California Gas Co. has become the third corporation to support the Inner City Goes Outdoors education program that the conservancy is organizing.
"The Southern California Gas Company helps care for the environment through our support of programs like yours that promote healthy and safe communities," wrote Valerie Lertyaovarit, the company's community-relations manager, in the letter that accompanied the check for $4,200.
"Through support for the Inner City Goes Outdoors Program Building Life-Long Stewards, we are pleased to partner with the Redlands Conservancy to further our shared goal of fostering stewardship of our local environment," Lertyaovarit wrote.
According to the Vision Statement for the Inner City Goes Outdoors program, the Redlands Conservancy envisions the wild places in Redlands to be well used and tended to by a group representing all demographics of Redlands, and a corps of young people who willingly and regularly steward the land.
"To steward the land, young people need to care about it," said Sherli Leonard, the executive director of the Redlands Conservancy. "To care about the land, they need to experience it and learn about it. That's what the Inner City Goes Outdoors program is being developed to do."
Although the Inner City Goes Outdoors program is geared to Redlands' disadvantaged youths, the Conservancy's Land Trust Cabinet is developing an overarching outdoor education program that will address all of Redlands' residents, including adults. The vision of the Outdoor Education Program is to develop and implement an outdoor education program, using Redlands Conservancy holdings.
James Blauth, a University of Redlands professor, and Kathy Havert, a curriculum developer for outdoor education, are working with Leonard to develop the curriculum for the youth and the training program for the senior stewards who will work with the youth.
"This is a multilayered partnership which will benefit the entire community of Redlands," Leonard said. "We hope to train the senior stewards in the coming spring, and begin the education program next fall. Already, we're working with the Boys and Girls Club and the Community Center to develop a curriculum that will be appropriate for the youth."
According to Leonard, the grant money from Southern California Gas Co. will be used to develop interpretive signs for the main site, the San Timoteo Nature Sanctuary. Interpretive signs need to be specific for the site and need to help the viewer understand the ecology of the area.
"Signs need to be accurate and they need to be engaging and long-lasting," Leonard said. "That's why they cost so much money and why this grant is so important."

Grown rather than built, this new kind of being was made possible by hacking the human genome and combining biology with nanomachines: cyborgs...Read On

I've tasted his lust... and I can't go back.
I found myself restrained and helpless, locked in an evil contraption. Even though I knew Kurt was playing, I didn't like him exercising this amount of control over me. It was humiliating to be exposed in such a demeaning position with my skirt pulled up—it brought back too many painful childhood memories. As I struggled to release myself, it was doubly irritating to hear him laughing at me....Read On

Dress up your main entrance with one of these easy DIY adornmentsMore
To make a good first impression on your holiday-season visitors, try hanging up one of these autumnal or wintry decorations. Besides being warm and inviting, they're also simple, fast and inexpensive to create. Click through for the instructions for each one.
Potpourri gives this $12 wreath a seasonal scent.
Large bag of potpourri
Grapevine wreath
Hot-glue gun and glue sticks
3"-wide ribbon
Staple gun (optional)
Index card or other stiff paper (optional)
1 Separate the potpourri pieces into three piles: large, medium and small.
2 Hot-glue the large pieces to the wreath form, spacing them evenly around the form; let set.
3 Hot-glue the medium pieces to the form; let set. Fill in remaining space with small pieces; let set.
4 Choose the flattest part of the wreath for the top. Loop the ribbon through it to hang (we stapled ours to the top of the door frame, hidden by the doorjamb).
5 If the ribbon looks lumpy, slide a cut-to-fit index card between the wreath and ribbon.

Most likely, you have had your tree up and decorated for some time now, right? Yeah, me too.. but I had an idea after throwing a Sharpie DIY holiday party with some co-workers, where we customized and designed holiday gift wrap, cards, boxes, ornaments and more. Ornaments, being the biggest hit, got me thinking that this would make for a fun activity to do with friends and family on a day like Christmas!
What you'll need:
- Plain ornaments (Matte-style work best)
- A sleigh-full of Sharpie permanent markers
Take this in whatever direction you feel like! If you're a group of artists, go to town and get all artsy on the ornaments. If you all have little to no artistic talent, scribble down favorite holiday memories, funny stories or write each other's character traits on the ornaments (hah that one could get interesting!) Whatever you decide make it fun! With Sharpie markers and your imagination, the direction you take it is completely up to you!
These are some of the ornaments that my co-workers and I made. As you can see, some are more detailed than others and they all still look great!
Sticking with the ornament theme, you may remember these bells from back in the day or maybe your kids are at that age now and have brought them home from school. I actually made these when I was in grade school and thought since I'm older, actually have control over my hands and have legible handwriting, I could take a second stab at this..
What you'll need:
- Small terra-cotta flowerpots (found at any craft store)
- Tiny bells (also at craft stores)
- Ribbon
- A slew of Sharpie markers (I used a combo of Sharpie Water-Based Paint markers and good ol' fashioned Sharpie Permanent Markers(not pictured))
Color the pots any color you'd like – and be sure to color a little on the inside too so that you don't see any clay from an outside view (I had a ton of silver, red, blue and black, hence the color scheme – even Sharpie employees run low own product from time to time). After coloring, embellish however you'd like! When finished, thread the ribbon through the drainage hole to make a loop for hanging, then loop another ribbon inside the pot and attach a bell. Now, start obnoxiously ringing your bells (heehee)!
These are the ones that I made…
Now, just for fun I wanted to include this… When I was out to lunch the other day with a coworker, the restaurant we went to decorated their tree with Sharpie-made ornaments! In a timeless and classic style, employees names were handwritten on ornaments in metallic gold Sharpie. Take a look..
So what do you think?
How did you decorate for the holidays? Post your pictures at www.Facebook.com/Sharpie, leave your name, favorite holiday memory, as well as how you used Sharpie markers this year! I'd like to write up a blog post and feature your Sharpie creations! Can't wait to see the pictures and hear how you celebrated!

Happy Holidays!!

New Study: Smoking and Second Hand Smoke Cause Brain Damage
Jason Mick
June 25, 2009 4:35 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
A new study shows that smoking tobacco cigarettes, like consuming alcohol, can lead to severe brain damage, though the mechanism is different. The study also suggests that second hand smoke exposure can also lead to brain damage.
(Source: The New York Times)
Perhaps that Guiness World Book Record for most cigarettes smoked wasn't such a good idea, now that the brain damage smoking tobacco causes is known...
(Source: Guiness World Book of Records)
Move over alcohol, brain damage has a new buddy
New research is set to
be published
in the July issue of the
Journal of Neurochemistry
that looks to offer yet another damning medical argument
against smoking
and allowing
second hand smoke
in public locations. The new report finds that Tobacco smoke contains a compound which can cause brain damage.
The new study examined NNK, a procarinogen. NNK is a toxic derivative of nicotine produced when the chemical is cured in preparation for use in cigarettes. NNK is not found in other smoked drugs,
such as cannabis
Before the study it was thought that the compound could be damaging to the body, but it was unclear how damaging it was. In the study, performed by Debapriya Ghosh and Dr Anirban Basu from the Indian National Brain Research Center (NBRC), it was found that the compound caused white blood cells in the central nervous system to attack healthy cells causing severe neurological damage.
Unlike alcohol or other forms of drug abuse, the drug does not impact brain tissue directly via oxidation or receptor damage. Rather, it triggers an inflammatory immunological response that is believed to lead to Multiple Sclerosis and other brain diseases.
Both with in vivo, in mice, and in vitro tests, the researchers discovered that the compound elevated proinflammatory signaling proteins, proinflammatory effector proteins and other stress related proteins, and increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines, which act as molecular messengers between cells. These factors led to increased activity by microglia, the brain's white blood cells responsible for attacking intruders.
The microglia turned on healthy cells, due to the increased level of these compounds. States Professor Ghosh, "Considering the extreme economical and disease burden of neuroinflammation related disorders, it is extremely important from a medical, social and economic point of view to discover if NNK in tobacco causes neuroinflammation. Our findings prove that tobacco compound NNK can activate microglia significantly which subsequently harms the nerve cells.
While most studies have focused on health threats from smoked tobacco, NNK is also present in chewing tobacco, helping make a stronger case against its use. NNK is present in 20-310 nanograms in cigarettes, but is also can be present in concentrations as high as 26 nanograms in smoke filmed rooms. This report adds more evidence that second hand smoke may damage non-smokers' health.
Concludes Professor Ghosh, "This research sheds light on the processes that lead to nerve cell damage in those who smoke cigarettes or consume tobacco products on regular basis."
"If they're going to pirate somebody, we want it to be us rather than somebody else." -- Microsoft Business Group President Jeff Raikes
