Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College men's soccer team was able to get the proverbial monkey off of their back on Tuesday by picking up their first win of the season. The Tornados defeated Tusculum College 4-3 after a long fought battle on the BC Soccer Field. The Tornados improved their record to 1-8-1 and 1-3-0 in SAC play with their win over the Pioneers.
The scoring started early in the match when Brevard was awarded a penalty kick in the 8th minute of play. Renato Barbosa (Vinhedo, Brazil) was able to beat the Pioneer's keeper giving Brevard an early 1-0 lead. It was Barbosa's first goal of the season.
Just over four minutes after Barbosa's goal Tusculum return-fired with a goal of their own nodding things up at 1-1 when Petr Buzyan was able to get one by Jack Shaw (Simpsonville, S.C.) at the 12:32 mark. Buzyan's goal came off of a pass from Dean Hopewell. It only took another four minutes following Buzyan's goal for the Pioneers to strike again. Javier Portillo dribbled the ball from Tusculum's defensive end up the middle and took a shot from 10 yards outside the box to give Tusculum a 2-1 edge.
It looked as though Brevard was going to be headed into halftime trailing 2-1, but in the 33rd minute Jami Uuttu (Naantali, Finland) took a shot which ricochet off of the keeper leaving the goal wide open for Andrew Gallowitch (Monroe, N.C.) who netted his first career goal for Brevard College tying it up at two goals a piece. That wasn't the last the net would see of Gallowitch.
The second half started out all nodded-up at two, but just four minutes into the half Gallowitch struck again. Jaime Villacis (Miami, Fla.) crossed the ball from inside the box and Gallowitch came sliding into kick the ball past the keeper into the back of the net for his second goal of the match. His second goal gave Brevard a 3-2 lead at the 49:16 mark.
However, Tusculum was able to claw back and scored a third goal to even things up yet again when Curtis Berger was able to net one in the 60th minute making it 3-3.
In the 79th minute Brevard was deep in Tusculum's end and Villacis took a shot but the keeper was up to the task. Gallowitch, however was there to clean up the box netting his third goal of the match good for his first career hat-trick. His third goal gave BC the 4-3 lead which was enough to hold up as the final.
The Torandos are back in action on Friday evening when they travel to Mars Hill College. Kick-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Mars Hill.

In contrast to its noble French counterparts, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir, which flourish in various corners of the world, Nebbiolo rarely thrives outside its native Piedmontese habitat. While relatively resistant to frost, damp and mist, it is highly sensitive to terrain, faring best in the Langhe district's chalky, marly soil of maritime origin.
Producing majestic red wines of phenomenal depth, complexity and longevity, Nebbiolo is the earliest red grape variety in Piedmont to bud and the last to ripen. Its name derives from the early morning mists, or "nebbia," that shroud the lower slopes of the Langhe hillsides during the fall harvest period.
The Marchesi di Barolo estate takes pride in the international reputation it has established for its fine Barolo DOCG and two superb single-vineyard crus, Barolo Cannubi DOCG and Barolo Sarmassa DOCG, all made from 100% estate-grown Nebbiolo grapes. View all Marchesi di Barolo Wines
About PiedmontView a map of Piedmont wineries (PEED-mont)
Notable FactsNot just regulated to red wine, Piedmont also produces some notable whites, particularly those near the district of Gavi and Asti. Gavi produces still white wine from the Cortese grape. The wine is dry with a crisp, citrus-like acidity – fairly neutral but pleasant. Arneis is another grape/wine made in the area, creating a fuller wine that displays some nuttiness in the aroma and taste. Asti is well known for its sparkling wine – in particular Asti Spumante and Moscato d'Asti. Asti Spumante is typically higher in alcohol, sweetness & fizziness, while its higher-class cousin, Mostcato d'Asti, contains lower alcohol levels, a few less bubbles, and a more restrained and delicate representation of Moscato fruit.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

That was not the case, however. In St. Louis, general manager John Mozeliak and manager Mike Matheny instead shared the news that Chris Carpenter would very likely not pitch in 2013 and perhaps never again.
This week, the club was out in front of any speculation. Having disclosed on Wednesday that contract talks between the Cardinals and Wainwright had been tabled, the key hope for Thursday's press conference was nipped in the bud for some.
Mozeliak and Matheny were again behind the microphones. However, this time the duo were in Jupiter, Fla. The subject of the announcement was an extension of the GM's contract through 2016 and the 2014 option on the manager's contract being picked up.
Like Wainwright, Mozeliak, 44, was heading into the final year of his current contract – with much less future uncertainty, of course. Mozeliak was elevated to the GM chair in October 2007 after working in the Cardinals organization since 1995. In his five years as GM, Mozeliak's Cardinals have made three post-season appearances, including two straight NLCS berths and the 2011 World Series title.
Matheny, 42, became manager prior to last season, replacing future Hall of Famer Tony La Russa. Despite having no previous managerial experience, Matheny led the Cardinals to an 88-74 record and one post-season win short of a return to the World Series. The former catcher played 13 seasons in the majors, including five with St. Louis, and won four Gold Glove Awards.
No comparable announcement was made concerning Matheny's coaching staff.

Brosgol, Vera. Anya's Ghost.
When Anya, a teenager who is uncomfortable with everything from her body to her Russian family, falls down an abandoned well, she is surprised to discover she is trapped with the skeleton of a girl...along with her ghost. While Anya eventually escapes the cold, dark well and resumes her normal life, she feels guilty for leaving the lonely mysterious ghost, Emily, behind. By taking a piece of Emily's skeleton with her, the ghost is able to leave the well and experience life with Anya. At first, Anya is enjoying all the perks of having a spiritual sidekick, until she suspects that Emily has a darker past than she previously thought.
When Emily becomes too involved in Anya's love life, she decides to bring her bone back to the well so she can live in peace again. But there's one problem, Emily is no longer a lonely ghost; she has her own motives, desires and has even learned how to move physical objects. This quirky story takes a dramatic and creepy twist when Anya must find out who Emily really is in order to banish her back to the well. While an interesting, illustrated take on a classic ghost tale, Anya's Ghost is also a touching coming-of-age story about self-acceptance. The muted purple color pallete that Brosgol uses to illustrate the story gets increasingly darker as it progresses, perfectly complimenting the darkening plot.

Published June 19, 2014
Renowned author and environmentalist Bill McKibben is coming to Buffalo to deliver the UB School of Architecture and Planning's Commencement address. It is our pleasure to invite you to the Commencement ceremony to hear Bill speak to the graduating class.
McKibben's Commencement address will begin promptly at 5 pm on Friday, May 10 in the Center for the Arts, UB North Campus. Special seating is available in the balcony area for guests who will be attending the ceremony that are not directly connected to our graduates. Balcony seating is limited to 642, and members of the general public will be seated on a first come, first serve basis; tickets are not required. As this event is a celebration for our students, we do invite you to stay for the full program. However, we do recognize that this occasion represents a special opportunity for you to hear Bill speak about important issues in today's fragile world. Therefore, we have included a musical interlude after his speech to allow guests to quietly exit the auditorium.
Bill McKibben is the author of a dozen books about the environment, beginning with The End of Nature in 1989, which is regarded as the first book for a general audience on climate change. He is a founder of the grassroots climate campaign 350.org, which has coordinated 15,000 rallies in 189 countries since 2009. Time Magazine called him 'the planet's best green journalist' and the Boston Globe said in 2010 that he was 'probably the country's most important environmentalist.' Schumann Distinguished Scholar at Middlebury College, he holds honorary degrees from a dozen colleges, including the Universities of Massachusetts and Maine, the State University of New York, and Whittier and Colgate Colleges. In 2011, he was elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Other publications include The Age of Missing Information; Hope, Human and Wild; Wandering Home, Fight Global Warming Now; The McKibben Reader and many more. Bill is a frequent contributor to various magazines and is a board member and contributor to Grist Magazine. He has been awarded Guggenheim and Lyndhurst Fellowships and won the Lannan Prize for nonfiction writing in 2000.

What Charter Schools Are Getting Right And Why They Top Our High School Rankings
Listen to Hot For Teacher Radio by Van Halen on iHeartRadio
It's not a stretch to say that charter schools are some of the biggest winners in this year's high school rankings list. Even though charters educate just five percent of American students, they represent 30 percent of the top ten schools in this year's rankings. What's more—and this is really the kicker—they're the only ones in the top ten that do not use selective admissions. That is, BASIS Scottsdale, BASIS Oro Valley, and Signature School are the only schools in the top ten who don't choose their students. They're open-enrollment schools: anyone can come, and if there are too many applicants for the available seats, they determine the student body by lottery. Nonetheless, they're still competitive with the hyper-selective private and magnet schools rounding out the rest of the top ten.
What's going on? What makes charter schools different—and how does it contribute to their success? I taught at a charter school in Brooklyn some years ago, and my principal would frequently call out three types of flexibility that made our school successful: 1) hiring (and firing), 2) schedule, 3) and curricula. That's about it.
There's a clear theory of action here, and it responds to a pretty incontrovertible diagnosis: American public education is chaotic. Our schools operate in an extraordinarily dense, disorganized regulatory environment. They work within district, state, and federal systems that prescribe various programs and data reporting, all of which are often at cross purposes. Some funding streams run directly from the Feds to local districts. Others run through states on their way to classrooms. At its best, the education "system" is about as organized as a pinball machine.
American classrooms are also often shaped by the various clauses of collective bargaining agreements, which can prescribe precisely how many minutes teachers may be required to undertake particular tasks with their students each day (and how many days they'll be in class each year). Teacher contracts alone can assume biblical proportions—they're many hundreds of dense pages long.
Sadly, this accretion of regulations hasn't appreciably moved the needle on achievement gaps like those between students of different races or between students from families . In response, charter reformers propose to trade freedom from some of these rules in exchange for accepting a higher degree of accountability. That is, they get more autonomy to build a school that meets their students' needs, but have to answer for the results.
Charter administrators can hire the teachers they want—they're not assigned personnel from the district, or forced to choose from a pool. They can dismiss ineffective instructors quickly if necessary. If their students need lots of remedial instruction, the school can extend the school day, the school week, or the school year. If the curricula seem to focus on skills that students have already mastered, they can scrap it in favor of other materials. And then, if the school's model works, it can be expanded; if it doesn't, the school can be shut down relatively rapidly.

Well considering 99% of the wetsuit guides show 6/5 or 6/5/4 working all the way down to like 39 to 42 degrees I think you are going to look like a kook but hey you paid $100 for it why not sweat your @ss off right? 7mil is crazy thick even for late fall up north. Forget about the suit and just wear trunks and a 1mil top.
apparently ,lots of folks seem to enjoy the restriction a wetsuit offers these days, when one is not needed. This guy is obviously yanking chains here,ive never used more than a 5 mil in the coldest new jersey winters
You can get a good wetsuit top for $75...
I'm speechless
Nobody even cares that there's going to be decent size surf from Gabrielle either.

Protesters Interrupt Christie Town Hall
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's town hall event in South River was interrupted on Tuesday by protesters.
The Star Ledger says a group stood in unison and chanted in protest, accusing the governor of corrupt uses of Hurricane Sandy funds. They were kicked out of the town hall.
"You have now seen the latest gift given to you by the public sector unions in the state of New Jersey," said Governor Christie.
Christie accused the state chapter of Communication Workers of America of organizing the protest. Early in the town hall, he told the crowd he expected the group to disrupt the meeting.
"The state workers union has decided that one of their goals and missions in life is to recruit people to come here to the town hall meeting and when you begin to ask questions, they will stand up and start to scream and yell over you and over me," said Governor Christie.
A town hall meeting in Mount Laurel was also interrupted by protesters last week. There were no incidents during earlier town hall events this year.

do you think there are famous sharks trying to reform other sharks' habits and not eat Chinese people?

do you think there are famous sharks trying to reform other sharks' habits and not eat Chinese people?
Most sharks avoid the Chinese. You eat one and half an hour later you are hungry again.
Now 'Merikans...they're good eatin'! Just like bacon; quite fatty but they taste yummy.
Sometimes they do worse things with the sharks than just cut their fins off too:
this rules thanks for posting
Good post Yank. Watching those shark slaughter videos pisses me off. Reminds me of the slaughter of the American Bison from 1870 to 1900. (aimed directly at destroying the Native horse culture of the Great Plains) Millions killed for just their tongues. Rest of the animal was left to rot.
That's awesome thing for him to do publicly.
Now we need an athlete from japan to do the same.
The biggest issue we have is illegal fishing in international waters. Poachers of everyone's ocean waters. Why ya think so many pirates now. Cuz they were fishermen who had no fish to catch cuz big illegal ships took what they had.
Maybe he can do something about the poisoned dog treats being sold to us.
Follow the money.
That's the first rule of America.
great post Yankee! It so great when you see athletes with such incredible influence, actually do something so positive. Yao is the man!

But Naomi said, Turn back, my daughters, why will you go with me? Have I yet sons in my womb that may become your husbands?
1 IN THE days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem of Judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, his wife, and his two sons.
4 And they took wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah and the name of the other Ruth. They dwelt there about ten years;
5 And Mahlon and Chilion died also, both of them, so the woman was bereft of her two sons and her husband.
6 Then she arose with her daughters-in-law to return from the country of Moab, for she had heard in Moab how the Lord had visited His people in giving them food.
7 So she left the place where she was, her two daughters-in-law with her, and they started on the way back to Judah.
9 The Lord grant that you may find a home and rest, each in the house of her husband! Then she kissed them and they wept aloud.
10 And they said to her, No, we will return with you to your people.
11 But Naomi said, Turn back, my daughters, why will you go with me? Have I yet sons in my womb that may become your husbands?
12 Turn back, my daughters, go; for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say I have hope, even if I should have a husband tonight and should bear sons,
13 Would you therefore wait till they were grown? Would you therefore refrain from marrying? No, my daughters; it is far more bitter for me than for you that the hand of the Lord is gone out against me.
14 Then they wept aloud again; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law [good-bye], but Ruth clung to her.
15 And Naomi said, See, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-in-law.
16 And Ruth said, Urge me not to leave you or to turn back from following you; for where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people and your God my God.
17 Where you die I will die, and there will I be buried. The Lord do so to me, and more also, if anything but death parts me from you.
18 When Naomi saw that Ruth was determined to go with her, she said no more.
19 So they both went on until they came to Bethlehem. And when they arrived in Bethlehem, the whole town was stirred about them, and said, Is this Naomi?
20 And she said to them, Call me not Naomi [pleasant]; call me Mara [bitter], for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.
21 I went out full, but the Lord has brought me home again empty. Why call me Naomi, since the Lord has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?
22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who returned from the country of Moab. And they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest.

'"Last season gave me the opportunity to work on some things," Miller said. "But it also gave me a chance to work with a team all season toward a common goal. Your goals at the AHL are usually to make the NHL instead of focusing on the team goals. But last year I was able to focus on the Rochester team goals and I think that helped me. I wasn't thinking about whether I was going to get called up. I was thinking about just winning games and having team success."'

Post subject: Need some advice...
My recently placed cache "
Blackhawk Down
" has been logged a handful of times. One of the loggers are a nice couple that noted that they trashed out some Geocaching printouts from the area presumably around the final cache.
Discussing it with another MNGCA'er I decided to email this particular team through the website and ask them to edit their log to not include that they specifically trashed out geo-junk. The other MNGCA'er and myself felt that it would put geocaching and geocachers in general in a bad light and it would be better left unsaid.
I received this response from them this morning:
However, I am not going to change my posting, for a few reasons.
1) It is the truth.
2) I believe geocachers should be more respectful of the public property on which we hide and find our caches, so I believe the posting is a reminder to geocachers to clean up the areas we visit, and definitely NOT to leave extra trash.
3) We cleaned up the trash, which will show park officials that geocachers care about litter.
4) Had a park official found the printout, then your cache would be at the same risk as it is now, plus the geocacher who left the litter would have some explaining to do, since his/her login name was printed on the litter.
I really believe that cachers need to be more respectful of property than they sometimes are, and I do not believe hiding the truth about this situation will help to improve our habits, so I will keep the posting just the way it is.
While I agree with everything that they said I still don't believe it is best to leave the comment in there as is. Asking other geocachers (outside of MN) has only given me the answer to delete their log and tell them tough. I am not into alienating cachers out there, especially ones that CITO.
What do you guys think?

I went through something similar with posts telling future 'cachers how to bypass park admission fees. I didn't care if they did it, I just didn't think advice should be posted on the cache site. I gave up on it after awhile, and I guess it never really mattered.
I have found "litter" in a parking lot, that could have been anybody's, but I'm 90% sure it was probably from someone with a GPSr. I won't say what or where, but it gave me a new idea for a cache. I guess I'd better step up the R & D on that one, and get it posted.
If you were to ask an ADMIN, you'd probably get the answer I got:
Deleting is rather harsh for the offense.

interesting question which brings to mind my thoughts of related and non-related issues.
i'm far from a tree-hugging environmentalist. i do, however, take a small amount of pride in helping improve the parkways and nature preserves that serve as the playgrounds for the game.
i haven't always been concerned with trashing out, but for whatever reason, i have made it a conscious effort in recent months to do so, even if it is generally on the small scale. while i don't often carry a trash bag in my pocket for return trips from cache sites, i try to find a nearby garbage can to place an item of two that i carry with me. in my recent expedition through purgatory park in minnetonka i'm sure i could have picked up a nice variety of garbage during my journey. what i do recall is that i picked up a half-full water bottle and a bagged, yet abandoned, collection of dog poo, and carried them with me for several minutes until i reached the next available garbage can.
in the past, (and i'm sure in the future as well,) i've had days that for whatever reason i didn't take the time to pick something up on my way out. perhaps i was in a hurry because i spent too much time searching for the cache. or perhaps i was just lazy that day.
but perhaps it was because i was disgusted, disgusted by the geocachers that preceded me. when i'm the 30th person to visit a cache site, and there are obvious signs of garbage that has been been festering for months, perhaps long enough that it requires carbon dating to determine its age, it's clear to me that the cache was either placed in the middle of a garbage dump, and the previous 29 groups have nearly eliminated the heaping piles of garbage that once existed, or that the majority of geocachers don't care about cleaning up the parks they scour. i'd bet on the latter of the two. (an actual example of this occurred in october, when i visited "plumber's wonder."
there's certainly the chance that all 29 of the groups that preceded me took the same approach as i sometimes do, picking up a can or bottle and carrying it back to the parking lot garbage can. but that's not likely the case.
the reality: of the hundreds of participants in minnesota, there's an undeterminable percentage that doesn't care. period. that's why they leave their cache print out in the cache, (i've seen that more than once,) or leave it laying around on the ground somewhere, for others to find and pick up at a later date.
should cache logs be edited or expunged because they don't reflect the nature-loving goodness of geocachers worldwide? i don't think so, because that's not an accurate representation of the game players as a whole. it may not make us all look like saints, but such a log might actually be viewed by the responsible party, or one like him/her/them, and give him/her/them something to think about.

If you feel strongly about it, delete the log. It is your cache and you have 100 percent control over the cache description page.
With that said, I agree with what kingboreas said about the punishment being harsh for the offense, or something like that. Obviously these are responsible geocachers and the truth can't hurt.
My first thought was maybe the person who left behind the geo-junk did so on accident. I know I've left behind things at cache sites, like my gps unit!

It would never have crossed my mind to delete the log or ask the finder to edit it. I think one finder showing the initiative to clean up the mess left by another more than makes up for the mess being left in the first place. I also agree that the log is a reminder to other cachers to not only "trash out" but to not leave messes of their own.

Wow, this looks like a neat cache. I would just leave this one alone. It looks like there was only one cacher out to this one before it was visited by the one who made the comments. I didn't think they were too severe. I am disappointed also when I visit caches and find lots of old garbage.
However this cache is pretty new so it explains why there is so much old garbage in the area. The cacher that visited before may have accidently dropped a cache printout. The person is fairly new, with more finds than even me in the last two months than I have had in the last two years. If I was this active, I think I would accidently lose a copy of a cache page too once in awhile. Great job on trashing out!

Oral argument is not a time to restate the facts of the case or repeat parts of the brief. The judges know what you said in your brief. Oral argument is the time to make sure that the court understands the key issues of the case by highlighting what you think is most important in your case or asking the judges if they have any questions you could answer.
You do not have to participate in oral argument if you do not want to. You can let the appellate court know that you want to "waive" (give up) oral argument. See the "Waiving oral argument" section below to find out how.
If you do choose to have oral argument and your case is in the appellate division of the superior court, you will have up to 10 minutes to present your argument (unless the court gives you more or less time). If your case is in the Court of Appeal, you will have up to 30 minutes to present your argument (unless the court gives you more or less time).
Click to hear oral arguments at the California Supreme Court. (Note that these oral arguments are before the California Supreme Court, but they will give you a good idea of what to expect in other appellate courts).
The fact that you orally argue a case does not affect how long it takes to get your decision. It will not delay your case. If only one side waives (gives up) oral argument, the appellate court will hold oral argument with the other side. If everyone waives oral argument, the judges will consider your appeal based on the briefs and the record that were submitted.
Telling the court whether you want oral argument
Once all the briefs have been filed or the time to file them has passed, the court will send you a notice with the date for oral argument and will probably ask you if you want to have oral argument.
You can "waive" (give up) oral argument if you want. To let the court know that you do NOT want to have oral argument:
To tell the court you DO want to participate in oral argument, let the court know that in writing or in person when the court sends you the notice with the date for oral argument. If you do NOT let the court know you want oral argument, it will assume you do not want to have it and you will lose your chance to have oral argument.
In some juvenile appeals, you may have to serve and file a request for oral argument (if you want it). For example, if you are appealing the termination of your parental rights, you must request oral argument and file the request within 15 days after your reply brief is filed or is due.
Remember that the judges will be familiar with your case and will have already read the briefs, so you do not need to restate the facts of the case or repeat parts of the brief. It is more helpful to just highlight what you think is most important in your case or ask the judges if they have any questions you could answer. The judges may interrupt you (and the other side) to ask questions about your case and authorities (published court decisions, constitutions, statutes, court rules or other legal authorities) that you cited or should have cited. Remember to stay calm and respectful, even if you get frustrated or are interrupted. Whenever you are asked something you should stop what you are saying and answer as directly as possible. If you do not know the answer, then just say so. Also, remember that you cannot present new arguments orally unless you discussed them in your brief.

NSA Can Keep Snooping After Close House Vote
(NEWSER) – The NSA can keep collecting the phone records of Americans, but the surveillance program just barely survived a bipartisan effort to rein it in, reports theHill. An amendment by Michigan Republican Justin Amash would have prevented the agency from gathering data under the program revealed by Edward Snowden, but the measure failed by 12 votes after heavy pressure from the White House. Despite that pressure, 111 Democrats voted with Amash to curtail the program. The vote united "libertarian-leaning Republicans and liberal Democrats" who were worried about privacy violations, says the Wall Street Journal. It also managed to unite the White House with House Republican leaders for once, notes the New York Times.

I'm afraid of wordlists saved as windows txt file format.
I quote coWPAty fail:
Simply cos of that, all hashes were generated in wrong way.I spend the next month or so with a couple CPU's cranking away on the data, generating 1000 SSID's worth of hash tables from a 172,000 word dictionary. Towards the end I decided to test the hash files and get some metrics on how fast they computed. I setup a workstation to talk to a WPA-PSK AP with a passphrase that was known to be in the dictionary and captured the nessecary hash. I launched the attack with the coWPAtty 3.0 beta's and it was'nt finding the key. Eventually with Joshua Wrights help we dicovered where I'd screwed up. The password list had been saved in windows txt file format, leaving a hidden return character at the end of each line. This return character was being hashed in as part of the password giving me all wrong results!
I'm not gonna screw like this haha...ONE MONTH for nothing..funny huh?
So...what format it should be, coded, utf-8, ansi ?
I simply can check file by Midnight Commander by pressing <F4> ( Edit File )
It shows this ( look pic ):
Also wordlist goes wrong if I save it as Unicode.
The problem is AkelPad can't open big files. I tried once and my PC looped for 3 mins and then I got error "not enough RAM" ( lol he tried to load 900 mb )
What programs can fix these dicts saved in wrong way for linux and windows. How do YOU fix it ? How do I check BIG wordlists for hidden return character ( MC -> F4 can't open big text files )
ansi, iso, utf-8, 0Ah, DAh, windows format, hiden return bla bla bla...jesus christ.
PS: Sry for grama, not my native.
Found that "Kate" can change End of Line from Windows to Unix-like. But it loops too when I open big gigabyte txt files.
if you run them through pw-inspector the output is saved properly. also I believe the command
would also workCode:cat filein >> fileout
I do this with all my lists and in test after test have had no issues.
You can also google "removeing white space from end of line with sed" as this has also caused me issues with wordlists.

The Culture Diaries
A Week in Culture: Joe Ollmann, Cartoonist, Part 3By Joe Ollmann
This is the third and final installment of Ollmann's culture diary. Click here to read part 1 and here to read part 2.
Recently, I went to Bar Pam Pam, a mysterious old-man bar in my neighborhood that I have often passed but never had the courage to enter. My friend Murray and I asked what was on tap, and the owner said, "Vieux Montreal" and stopped there. I liked that—it was like an old-time saloon. What kind of beer do you have? Just beer, stranger. This bar was wonderful, genuine, unmanufactured focus-group atmosphere, no loud music and a welcome refuge from hipsters and young people. The old-man bar, like many old men, is an institution that is dying out. It made me think of all of the other old-man bars that I know and love in Montreal. Come with me, I'll show you …
Bar Pam Pam
I've already told you the appeal of this little gem, mere footsteps from my home! But a few notes from my visit there are worth the telling. A tipsy woman took out her guitar, randomly sang "Me and Bobby McGee" in heavily accented English, put the guitar back in its case, and continued drinking. No one else clapped or even seemed to notice this performance. Later, a heavy, bearded dude came in, and the bartender immediately brought a pitcher and glass to his table.
"Why you bring this? You never see me before," said the bearded man.
"My friend, every night you come, this I know," said the bartender, with a smile that was met by one from the bearded man. This was obviously their ritual.

A clinical trial is a test or study of a drug or medical device in people. These tests are done to see if a product, treatment, therapy or device is safe and effective for people to use. The Food and Drug Administration sets the rules to make sure that people who agree to be in the studies are treated as safely as possible.
Should I Volunteer?
By taking part in a clinical trial, you can try a new treatment that may or may not be better than those that already exist.
What Happens in a Clinical Trial?
Clinical trials test whether new products are safe and work against disease. Study products are tested to see how they compare to standard treatments or to no treatment if there is not presently one.
Some studies require that neither the patient nor the doctor know whether the patient is receiving the study treatment, the standard treatment, or a placebo (an inactive substance that looks like the drug being tested). In other words, some people may be getting no treatment at all.
Studies are done in phases to find different kinds of information. Usually, Phase 1 studies include only a few healthy people. Here, scientists find the best way to give a new treatment and how much they can safely give.
Phase 2 studies include more people than Phase 1 studies, and the people have the disease that the product is going to treat. Researchers try to see how well the product works against the disease. If the product works, the study moves to Phase 3. Here large numbers of patients with the disease are included to see if the new treatment works as well as the standard treatment.
Are there Risks?
Some treatments that are being tested have side effects that can be unpleasant, serious or even life-threatening. Because the treatments being studied are new, doctors do not always know what the side effects will be. The risks depend on the treatment being studied and all known risks should be fully explained to you by the researchers.
How am I Protected?
Informed Consent
To help you decide if you want to be in a study, the FDA requires that you be given complete information about the study before you agree to take part. Before you can be in the study, you must sign the informed consent form, showing that you have been given this information and understand it. The informed consent form is NOT a contract and you can leave the study at any time, for any reason.
Institutional Review Boards (IRBs)
Scientists, doctors and other people from the local community serve on IRBs to review and monitor the research institution's medical research involving people. They monitor studies to help make sure that there is the least possible risk to volunteers and that the risks are reasonable in relation to the expected benefits.
FDA Inspections
FDA inspects records and various scientists, clinics, and other research sites involved in a study. The agency does this to make sure volunteers are being protected and studies are being done correctly.
What Questions Should I Ask?
What is the study trying to find out?
What kinds of test and exams will I have to take while I am in the study? How much time do these take? What is involved in each test?
How often does the study require me to go to the doctor or clinic?
Will I be hospitalized? If so, how often and for how long?
What are the costs to me? Will my health insurance pay for it?
What follow-up will there be?
What will happen at the end of the study?
What are my other treatment choices? How do they compare with the treatment being studied?
What side effects can I expect from the treatment being tested? How do they compare with side effects of standard treatment?
How long will the study last?

Need help please
I really don't want to keep beating the dead horse but I'm brand new to this forum and to the world of archery. I know a lot about firearms but need a new challenge. I have purchased a bow it is a 60lb traditional longbow, 29 inch draw and it is 148 cm in length. I am planning on using this for mainly small game from jack rabbits all the way up to the occasional bobcat and yote. I guess my main question to you is hat weight arrow would y'all suggest and what material should it be made of. Like I said I'm new and I'm going to try out several I just need to know where to start. Thanks

I would start with either a 2117 or a 2219 aluminum arrow with a 125 gr. the 2219 will be the heavier shaft but I would have it cut a little longer than if you went with a 2117 so you have some room to play with spine. get 4 or 5 inch feathers for fletching. I would shoot for at least 9 grains of arrow weight for each pound of draw weight, so 9 x 60 = 540 or thereabouts. if you come in a llittle under thats ok. you're starting with a pretty heavy draw weight to learn with so I would recommend going pretty slow. when you feel yourself getting tired stop shooting and allow your muscles to recover so you dont start developing bad habits. good luck and let us know how it goes.
as far as arrows go I would look at Easton Gamegetters or Camo Hunters.

If it's an older bow, I would use the aluminums as J.C. suggested. If it something newer, does the manufacturer have a minimum weight-per-pound?
Aluminum arrows are still the best bargan out there, and they weight enough to be kind to the bow limbs. But if you have that something newer, you may be able to go lighter/faster, especially on small game.FBSA Member

This summer a wise older philosophy professor was railing about being asked by his administration to specify for each of his courses what the "learning outcomes" would be. He was, essentially, being asked to indicate what the students were going to learn. He found the suggestion preposterous. He insisted he couldn't know what the students were going to learn. His job was not to predetermine what the students were going to learn. He might know what the basic subject matters and materials of his courses would be; but what would the students learn from them? How could he know that in advance, if they were going to be thinking for themselves, rather than merely regurgitating information? [Read more…]

Zimmerman Will Get His Gun Back
(NEWSER) – Now that George Zimmerman has been acquitted, he can have back the pistol he used to kill Trayvon Martin—and he needs it "even more" than before, his lawyer tells ABC. Defense attorney Mark O'Mara says his client has no regrets about carrying a gun the night he killed the unarmed teenager, and he plans to go armed again because "there's even more reason now, isn't there? There are a lot of people out there who really hate him, even though they shouldn't."

Costa Rica has long inspired literary and artistic tributes to its natural beauty and charming lifestyle. Painters and poets, enchanted by Costa Rica's history and its people, create great artistic works with the country as their inspiration.
This posting showcases three haiku pieces that pay tribute to facets of the Costa Rican experience that visitors always find remarkable. The first haiku describes the ominous beauty of Costa Rica's volcanoes, which lend a thrilling, dangerous edge to the country's otherwise serene beauty. Visitors to the Magnolia Restaurant can enjoy a similar geologically themed painting, by artist Denis Salas, in the niche over the piano. The ethereal grays and blues of the painting suggest the smoky landscape around an active volcano. The haiku captures the volcano's explosive energy:
Active volcano,
Red-rimmed, rumbling at night.
The violent earth speaks.
A second haiku draws its inspiration from Costa Rica's abundant tropical fruit, a real tourist favorite. The lively fruit paintings in the Sleep Inn breakfast area similarly celebrate this marvelous tropical abundance:
Slices of sunshine
Lying on a morning plate.
Fresh mango breakfast.
A final haiku hearkens back to Costa Rica's past, a quieter time when ox carts and their drivers slowly crisscrossed the countryside, delivering farm goods and supplies to a country not yet industrialized. Just outside the Sleep Inn's smoke-free casino, guests can enjoy a beautiful depiction of the ox carts in old Costa Rica. The haiku showcases this same nostalgic sense of history:
Oxen and driver
In the days before cities.
Driving on the brink of change.
Read more about Costa Rica's volcanoes.
Read more about Costa Rican mangoes and other tropical Costa Rican fruit.
Read more about Costa Rican ox carts, now a part of the UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage.

Justin Timberlake discusses breakup with 'N Sync
Listen to Justin Timberlake on iHeartRadio
Justin Timberlake is letting fans in on one of the most important decisions of his career -- quitting 'N Sync. In his episode of "Oprah's Master Class" on OWN Sunday, the singer spoke candidly about the doubts he had before going solo.
Justin says leaving the boy band that made him famous around the world was "bittersweet" and admits it was difficult for him to "saying goodbye to that era." But he says he knew it was the right thing to do because he "felt music changing."
Justin also revealed a story about how he had to push to release his hit "SexyBack" as the lead single off his second solo album FutureSex/LoveSounds. He says the people he was working with "thought it was a joke" and that he had a "full on argument" with the president of his label just to get it out.
Justin's episode of "Oprah's Master Class" is set to re-air on Sunday, May 25th on OWN.

Thanks for the great class. You will be happy to know that I have already started applying information from this class to our organization. The information about putting together a brochure was very timely for me. We also are setting goals and reviewing our positioning. I learned a lot and printed the material for future use.
If anyone says that the learning experience can't be "fun", I strongly recommend that they take a course with Linda Kissam. Material coverage was excellent, presentation was in an easily understood language and just all around fantastic.
I have learned so much from your lessons. I think the most important thing I learned was I cannot and should not create the marketing plan alone. So my first step will be to organize a Marketing Committee to create the marketing plan we need to move our organization forward. Your step by step lessons will be so helpful in making this Committee successful. I can't wait to get started. Thank you!
I really enjoyed the class. One thing I'm taking with me is the different advertising techniques. There were many listed that I hadn't thought of and even some that were free. They will become very useful. Thank again.
I feel so much more centered on what needs to be done and how to start from square one. I really appreciated the examples of the two makrketing plans. I can copy them today and get started.
This course is very helpful to beginning nonprofit businesess, such as the one I am working on. I hope this course continues to be available. I plan to direct and highly encourage any present and future volunteers, employees, members, etc. to take this course as it can be beneficial for them as well as for my organization.
I have enjoyed this class and learned a great deal. I feel I am now able to sit down with my board and develop a very thorough marketing plan as well as setting reachable goals for our Chamber of Commerce. Thanks to my instructor, Linda Kissam, for a fantastic class.
This was my first online course and I thought it was excellent!
This was a good class. I gained information that will assist me in promoting the nonprofit in my community.
I found this course to be very helpful at just the right time in my career. I saw real benefits from the knowledge I gained before I'd even completed the course.

Oxfam wants Prime Minister Tony Abbott to align himself with the 99 per cent and call for a crack down on tax havens at the World Economic Forum.
The aid organisation has released a discussion paper showing economic inequality increasing with almost half the world's wealth now in the hands of just one per cent of its population.
The poorest half of the world's population own the same amount as the richest 85 people.
Mr Abbott will address to the World Economic Forum in Switzerland on Thursday and is expected to outline where he plans to take Australia as a global economic player.
In a press release, Mr Abbott said his attendance would be an opportunity to ''showcase Australia and the government's reform agenda to international and business leaders''.
''We should make the most of our G20 presidency to help provide economic leadership to the wider world and promote our attractiveness as an investment destination,'' the statement said.
Oxfam is urging all gathered at the forum to support progressive taxation regimes and crack down on tax havens.
"Tony Abbott is in a prime position to help reduce extreme inequality and poverty globally as Australia prepares to host the leaders of G20 nations this year," Oxfam Australia chief executive Helen Szoke said in a statement.
She called on the government to introduce rules requiring Australian mining and energy companies to disclose the payments they make to governments in other countries, a move to help stamp out corruption.
Oxfam says the rising concentration of wealth represents a global threat to stable and inclusive societies.
"In developed and developing countries alike, the lowest tax rates, the best health and education and the opportunity to influence are being given to the rich and their children," Dr Szoke said.
A network of tax havens allowed the richest individuals and companies to hide trillions of dollars from tax collectors.

FRANKFURT, Germany -- A new €5 banknote loaded with advanced security features entered circulation on May 2, accomplishing the European Central Bank's mission to deter counterfeiters, but causing major headaches for vending machine operators.
European newspapers are reporting that payment systems for vending machines, gasoline pumps and parking garages, among self-service environments, are reportedly rejecting as many as 90% of the new bills. More accurately, according to industry sources, 90% of the machines that accept euros have not been updated to accept the new banknote design.
The redesigned banknote, intended to deter counterfeiting, marks the first change to the euro's paper currency since its 2002 introduction. It features an enhanced watermark and a hologram with a portrait of the Greek goddess Europa. Additionally, the number 5 in one corner of the bill changes from green to blue when passed in front of a light. There are approximately 1.6 billion €5 notes in circulation at any given time, according to the ECB.
The ECB says it alerted European vending machine manufacturers five years ago that they would have to update the software used in optical readers on their equipment for the new bills. The bank also said it met with industry groups including the European Vending Association and the Banknote Equipment Manufacturers Association and was in close communication with them during testing of the banknote's final design.
An ECB spokesman said the central banks are urging operators to update their vending machines, but are not in a position to force them to do so.
Meanwhile, new versions of the €10, €20, and other higher-denomination notes are set to be rolled out during the coming months, and they will have similar security features.
