Brevard, N.C. - Lindsay Brendle paced the Brevard offense with a game high 20 points and Lacey Singletary added 10 points off the bench, but late clutch free throw shooting by Kendal Baxter led visiting Tusculum College over the Tornados in South Atlantic Conference action on Saturday afternoon, 68-61.
Tusculum (5-0, 1-0 SAC) controlled the battle of the boards in the game, recording 58 rebounds, 22 offensively in recording 21 second chance points for the Pioneers as three players pulled down double-digit rebounds, led by Linda Aughburns with a game-high 19 boards. The Tornados (4-3, 0-2 SAC) full-court pressure kept the game close as Brevard forced 25 Pioneers' turnovers, leading to 21 points for Brevard, led by four steals apiece by Brendle and Micheala Watkins in the loss.
Brendle was 7-for-14 from the floor in recording her first 20 point performance on the season as the Tornados were 24-for-60 from the floor in shooting 40.0 percent in the game. Brendle also led the team with six rebounds, while Anna Schlobohm contributed four rebounds and nine points. Singletary's 10 points were a career high for the freshman forward and she added two blocked shots in the Tornados efforts.
Baxter led the Pioneers with 19 points, going a perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line, while Staci Hicks and April McCann both recorded double-doubles with Hicks recording 18 points and 12 boards, while McCann had 12 points and 12 rebounds. Aughburns narrowly missed out on the double-double, scoring nine points to go with her 19 rebounds in the victory.
Tusculum scored the first four points of the game as Hicks and Baxter both recorded layups, but Watkins followed with a layup and Schlobohm hit a three-pointer as the Tornados held the 5-4 advantage at the 17:51 mark in the first half. Three lead changes and three ties marked the next three minutes as a pair of free throws by Holli Flippo tied the game up at 11 apiece with 14:56 to play, before Singletary and Watkins hit back-to-back baskets to give Brevard a four point lead.
A free throw by Asheley Watkins gave the Tornados their largest lead of the half at 16-11 with 13:32 on the clock, but McCann followed with a layup on the fast break and Jama Hammontree drilled a three-pointer to tie the game back up.
The teams swapped the lead a total of eight times in the first half, the final coming on a jumper in the paint by McCann at the 2:40 mark to give the Pioneers the 31-30 lead. Aughburns followed with a three-pointer from the top of the key, but Micheala Watkins had the final basket of the half with a driving layup as Brevard went into the break down 34-32.
Baxter opened the second half with a three-pointer eight seconds into the period as the Pioneers built an eight point advantage at 51-43 on a layup by McCann at the 10:19 mark. The Tornados answered with a Flippo three-pointer as the Brevard kept the game within single digits.
With Tusculum holding the 61-54 advantage after layup by Hicks at the 4:34 mark, Brevard began two final runs at the lead, cutting the score down to within two points at 61-59 following back-to-back Brendle layups and at 64-61 with 1:02 to play on a pair of Brendle free throws, but three Brevard turnovers in the final 13 seconds ended the final comeback attempt and Baxter was a perfect 4-for-4 from the free throw line as the Tornados fell in Boshamer Gymnasium, 68-61.
Brevard takes two weeks off before welcoming Pfeiffer University to Brevard, N.C. and Boshamer Gymnasium for a non-conference game on Monday, December 19th. Tipoff between the Tornados and the Falcons is set for 4 p.m.

1994 Chrysler LeBaron Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 1994 Chrysler LeBaron based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
3.0L engines may develop an excessive oil consumption issue. Blue oil smoke may be noted from the exhaust during deceleration conditions (high engine vacuum). Our technicians tell us that this condition can be caused by valve guides dropping out of position. Updated valve guides with a revised snap ring grove are available to correct this issue.
Engine oil leaks may develop from the following areas: Valve cover gaskets, cam plugs at rear of the cylinder head, cam seals, front crankshaft seal, and the oil filter bracket. Leaking seals and gaskets should be replaced. Due to mis-machining of the mating surfaces, as special gasket is required to correct the oil filter bracket leak.
The convertible top rear window may break for no apparent reason when the folding top is lowered. Our technicians tell us that modifying the headliner and adding a rubber shim to the folding top linkage will generally correct this issue.
Vehicles may develop a start and die out condition or a transmission that defaults to second gear. Our technicians tell us that the transmission control module (TCM) may be at fault and require replacement. If the TCM is replaced the pinion factor should be reset and the quick learn procedure performed.
The anti-lock brake (ABS) warning lamp may illuminate with "Modulator Fault" indicated by a scan tool. This would indicate a electrical fault, commonly caused by a faulty connection. ABS connectors should be inspected for problems if this situation occurs.
Automatic transmissions can exhibit a variety of shifting and noise concerns due to failure of internal parts. Our technicians tell us that a complete inspection of all internal parts should be performed if the transmission is disassembled for overhaul. Numerous updated part are available for this transmission.
The connector on the input and/or output speed sensors on the automatic transmission may become damaged causing intermittent loss of speed control. There are wiring repair kits available to repair this issue.
Incorrect, worn, or contaminated automatic transmission fluid can cause shifting issues, noted at speeds over 40mph. Our technicians tell us that repairs to correct this condition include changing the fluid and filter, driving the vehicle for 10miles and changing the fluid a second time.
Carbon buildup on the top of the piston is common. Over time this can lead to symptoms varying from light ticking to knocking noises. Performing a fuel injector cleaning procedure can often help the condition by removing some of the piston top deposits.
One or both front power windows may not roll up. This can be the result of the lift plate down stop bending, allowing the rollers to come out of the track. Our technicians tell us there is an updated window lift plate to correct this concern.
The front seat belts may retract slowly or not at all or may be difficult to extend, commonly caused by a mispositioned seat belt turning loop. The turning loop can be repositioned by fully extending the seat belt and jerking it sharply towards the front of the car.
The convertible top may develop a flutter noise at freeway speeds. Most commonly the repair will involve installing foam tape to both sides of the convertible top under the side cable pockets.
A tappet/lash adjuster noise may be noted from 3.0L engines. Our technicians tell us that proper testing of the valve lash adjusters should be performed before replacing any parts. A full crankcase of clean engine oil is necessary before determining if any lash adjusters are bleeding down and causing a noise concern.

LONG BEACH - Long Beach City College is facing a dire financial year. But despite tough times, faculty and staff are working hard on new programs that will help more students attain degrees.
That was one of the messages from LBCC President Eloy Oakley on Friday in the fifth annual State of the College address at the Liberal Arts Campus.
With public education facing a possible $5 billon cut in funding this year, it's more important than ever to streamline education and change policies and programs to help more students attain college degrees - and in less time, Oakley said.
"Declining revenues from the state is just one of the many hurdles we must overcome," he said. "Increasing degree and certificate attainment with less support is the new normal."
To help set clear goals for student achievement, the college has developed a master plan that is the result of a yearlong effort by faculty and staff.
One of the main goals of the plan is the new Promise Pathways Initiative, which kicks off this fall for students from the Long Beach Unified School District.
The initiative is designed to create a more seamless transition from high school to college for Latino students, who currently make up about
40 percent of the population at LBCC.
Last year, the program received a $600,000 grant from the Lumina Foundation for its efforts.
"By improving preparation in high school and better aligning coursework and assessments, hundreds more Long Beach Unified graduates will enter and succeed in college- level work," Oakley said.
Promise Pathways is strengthened by the Long Beach College Promise, which provides a tuition-free semester at LBCC for all local high school graduates. Last fall, more than 1,600 freshmen paid no enrollment charges at LBCC, Oakley said.
Now in its fourth year, the program is a partnership between LBCC, LBUSD and Cal State Long Beach meant to increase college success for local students. The effort has gained national recognition, including a nod from the White House.
Oakley said College Promise reached a milestone in 2011 with the passing of legislation that lifts the state's cap on concurrent enrollment, allowing more students to take community college courses while still enrolled in high school.
In his address, Oakley also touted the college's Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Program and its efforts to create jobs and fuel local businesses.
Since its launch last year, the program has helped more than 95 small-business owners.
"Small businesses are the backbone of the economy in the greater Los Angeles area," Oakley said. "Helping small businesses grow is one of the most effective ways that we can continue to reduce the unemployment rate and get our economy moving again."
LBCC is part of the California Community Colleges system, the largest system of higher education in the nation. It is composed of 72 districts and 112 colleges serving 2.6 million students a year.
Last year, LBCC awarded 2,000 degrees and certificates to students.

Julie - from Mt Pleasant, NC
To avoid "tails" on your dots, make sure you have the correct consistency icing (medium) and make sure you stop squeezing the decorating bag before you lift the tip away from the surface. If you've done all this, and still are getting "tails," simply allow the icing to crust a bit (it usually just takes a few minutes for small dots), and using your finger which has been dipped in cornstarch, poke the "tails" down.
The size tip you need to use will depend on the look you want to achieve. Any round tip works, but generally, the larger the cake layer, the larger round tip you can use. When making large dots, lift the tip slightly as you squeeze to allow the icing to fill out completely.

By David Krueger Herald Writer
Some families pass down recipes. Others hand trinkets and other family heirlooms from generation to generation.
For the Iversen family wrestling has grappled its way through the family lines.
This season, three Iversens — brothers Craig and Sherm and their father Rick — all head Wesco wrestling programs. They're a living example that wrestling with your family members isn't always a bad thing.
Just the other day a pair of Iversens were talking wrestling, and a match broke out.
"Dad was showing me moves on the living room floor just last week at Christmas," Sherm said.
And when Rick Iversen talks wrestling, people listen.
The eldest Iversen started wrestling for Sedro-Woolley when he was in high school, back when there were only three wrestling programs in the state: the Cubs, Fife and Stadium of Tacoma.
Iversen didn't win a title in high school and that "tore (him) up," so he went and won a community college championship at Skagit Valley College. Then he went to Western to wrestle and his first year there the wrestling coach abruptly left and left an interesting situation for Iversen.
"I was the warmest body to coach," he said. "I was the most mature of the kids around and they came to me and said, 'Would you want to coach?' Did I want to be a player-coach?"
He said yes and a legendary coaching career was born. Iversen is in the Washington State Hall of Fame, as well as the National Wrestling Coaches Hall of Fame.
While coaching at Western a couple other Iversens began roaming the gymnasium during wrestling practice: Craig and Sherm.
"Craig and I grew up with it," Sherm Iversen said. "When Dad was coaching at (Western), Craig and I were always hanging out at the gym and we ran around every hall at that college."
Rick Iversen was careful not to push wrestling on his kids. If they wanted to do it that was fine with him, but he just wanted to make sure Craig and Sherm did what made them happy.
"I've seen so many coaches make the mistake of trying to relive their lives through their kids. I told my boys if you collect butterflies I'll be a fan," Rick said. "And I meant it. They chose to wrestle because they've been around it. They were never forced in."
Craig and Sherm said they both were eager to participate in wrestling, in part because they grew up around it. They wrestled for Rick at MP before their own wrestling careers took them into coaching spots.
Sherm graduated in 1983, and wrestled for a couple years before he got in a car accident prior to his junior year.
"It pretty much ended my wrestling career," Sherm said. "But I stayed involved and was able to grow with the sport. I tried to wrestle again in college and couldn't get around my injury, so I started coaching."
Meanwhile, Craig tore up the mats at Marysville Pilchuck. Before graduating in 1988, he was a two-time state champion in the 168-pound weight class and ranked nationally coming out of high school. After wrestling at Central Washington, Craig became a head coach at Burlington.
A few miles down the road, Sherm took over the wrestling program for Sedro-Woolley
"Our first coaching jobs came at the same time," Sherm said. "… and it was a big rivalry. That was fun."
Four years later Sherm, who had been an assistant coach for Brent Barnes at Lake Stevens for five years before becoming a head coach, moved to Cascade. Soon after, Craig took up his father's mantle at Marysville Pilchuck.
He filled his coaching staff out with some familiar faces.
"The entire staff is Marysville grads and they all wrestled under my father," Craig said. "And I believe they're in it because they had a great experience."
Rick Iversen, who is constantly met by former coaches and wrestlers after meets, has passed coaching talents along to more than just his sons.
"At one time I had 50 people in the state coaching wrestling that had wrestled for me," Rick said. "And now I'm coaching again, and a lot of those people have retired."
This weekend Craig will host the MP Premier, with about 17 teams — including Arlington and Jackson — coming to Marysville Pilchuck for the wrestling tournament. The event was started by Rick back when he was the coach for the Tomahawks.
"We do believe it's one of the premier invites in Snohomish County," Craig said.
This year, Rick had to lobby his son to get a few Arlington kids in the tournament he began.
"My boy wasn't going to let me in. He's a jerk," Rick said with a big smile. "His tournament was full. He said, 'OK Dad bring some of your kids.' He just plays me along like he's reeling me in."
The Iversens have a history of wrestling against each other. Craig is 3-0 against Rick, going back to his days at Burlington. He most recently defeated his father at the so-called "Iversen-o-rama," a dual meet between Marysville Pilchuck and Arlington on Dec. 13.
Sherm, who is in his first year coaching at Jackson after coaching at a middle school since 2004, has never wrestled against his father. The record for when Craig and Sherm faced off against each other is more of a mystery.
"It was always fun. It's never been negative at all," Sherm said of wrestling against Craig's teams. "Our teams have still won a couple from him and he owns a few from us. I don't even know where the tally is and I don't think he does either. Maybe I say that because he might have the edge on me."
"I think he's probably being nice," Craig said. "He's probably ended up on the upper end of that more times than I have."
When they're not wrestling each other, Craig said the Iversens "absolutely root for each other." When they are, everybody agrees it's a lot of fun. They're also really excited to not only all be coaching again, but all be in the same league.
"It's fun when we wrestle each other," Craig said. "We were both north in a great time of high school athletics. We had some great matches in those gyms it was a wonderful atmostphere. I can't believe how fortunate it was to have my brother step back in and my father to step in and have us all three in Wesco. It's pretty special."
Rick Iversen also has a foster son, a wrestler from Japan named Hiromi Nara. He was a national champion in Japan, and came to live with the Iversen family. Nara coached at Everett High School, and was an assistant with Rick at MP for 15 years.
Rick said he wanted to become a wrestling coach, because when he was in school his "teachers and coaches were my heroes." He's since mentored countless young men, garnering praise from numerous people over the years, including his sons.
"Everybody's got stories and stuff that are fun. But I'm really proud of my dad and everything he's done," Sherm said. "And my brother. But they wouldn't ever talk about themselves too much."
Perhaps the only person prouder is Rick Iversen.
"I don't have words for how proud I am of my kids," Rick said. "My boys were never any trouble. They didn't give me a day of grief. Not one day of grief. And now they honor me by doing what I did all my life. It's unbelievable."

Kreayshawn gives some real talk about her pregnancy
Listen to Kreayshawn on iHeartRadio
YES I am pregnant! It sucks!— ♥Kreay Saint Kreay♥ (@KREAYSHAWN) May 16, 2013
The "Gucci Gucci" rapper expanded upon this thought on her tumblr:
Yeah, I'm pregnant! It sucks. If your not pregnant don't get pregnant for a while because there's all these symptoms that make you feel weird and hurt and are uncomfortable and 9 months is really really long especially towards the end. You have to pack away all your slutty crop tops and high waisted shorts. Your stressed all the time and in pain and bored on top of that because, at the end of the day if your friends cant smoke with you or even around you they will find something better to do. And when you do ge to go out with some friends your feet and back usually hurt within an hour. Hopefully I will be doing the post in a few months saying how it was all worth it but, I am sure I will be dead from lack of sleep and breastfeeding and changing poopie diapers that I won't have time to post that. So holla.
The points she's making aren't heard often enough. Pregnancy is the beautiful act of ushering life into this world. It's also hard, potentially life-threatening work. Props for Kreayshawn for not sugarcoating that.

Any expectation date or developer checks? Gotta know if I can install on more then just my registered phone
Same no OTA here yet either
Is this the final version? Can non-developers install it by getting the IPSW file from a developer?
According to ih8sn0w, you cannot OTA from beta to GM, must be done thru iTunes.
So they finally decided to keep non-Devs from updating by turning off the OTA update. Or maybe it's just that big of an update. I'm guessing choice #1.
Edit* Forgot GMs aren't updated OTA. Sorry.
No OTA
Anyone else going to get the A4 IPSW to extract it & get an inside look? Get the GSM version then extract via the VFDecrypt keys here...
Happy viewing!
What about devs? Can they OTA to GM?
GM NEVER shows up as an OTA update from a beta version, only restore through iTunes is possible, like it has always been.
Since the GM is almost always the same as the final release, there is no udid check. However, it is illegal as a dev to distribute to non-devs and for non-devs to install it since it is copywriter software.

CHICAGO --The National Automatic Merchandising Association has issued a Legislative Alert to inform its members about a recent amendment to federal motor carrier safety regulations enacted by the U.S. Department of Transportation. The rule took effect earlier this year, and should be understood by operators and distributors. | SEE STORY
Under the new rule, drivers of commercial motor vehicles must use compliant mobile phones while engaged in interstate commerce. In general, compliance involves using only hands-free instruments. It also prohibits motor carriers from requiring or permitting their commercial drivers to use handheld mobile phones.
"All drivers operating CMVs in the course of interstate commerce are subject to the amended regulations," NAMA reported. "Thus, drivers of CMVs who transport products across state lines on behalf of vending companies, operators and suppliers, etc., are required to comply. This means those CMV drivers who are carrying goods on interstates are arguably covered by this law, too, even if their routes do not cross state lines.
"Lastly, commercial drivers' license (CDL) holders who operate CMVs (even if just intrastate) are covered drivers," the association added.
Penalties for violation of the new rule are substantial. The regulations implement "driver disqualification sanctions" for commercial drivers' license (CDL) holders who have multiple convictions for violating a state or local laws, or ordinances, on motor vehicle traffic control that restricts the use of handheld mobile telephones, NAMA explained.
General civil penalties may be assessed against drivers who violate the regulations. And employers who fail to require their drivers to comply with the regulations may also be subject to civil penalties.

Don't forget about that sim tray lever!
iPhone 5 Frame Swappers:
Don't forget about those screen clips!
Work very fine on i4 with sprintomize (overflow dock, resize icon dock & springboard)
work very fine on LS
How do I remove the springtomize settings saved;
Animation with png images - MobileModding.US, it might give you a starting point
lol its free, awesome!!!!!!!!!!
A other video, i like this tweak :-)
For Bubbles wall, go to
change Background.png ;-)
iPhone 5, IOS 6.1, I could not get this to work until i removed Music Control Pro 6.
I got Livepaper working then put some apps back on as well. It still works now, I am using the Nexus on both lock screen and home screen. I will see over today how it affects my battery life.
App removed to get it working - Music Control Pro 6.
Apps installed -
Activator, Auxo, ayecon theme, BatteryPeek, biteSMS, Browser Changer, Clean Sliders HD/SD, Five Icon Dock, FlagPaint, HomeSpringPage, IntelliscreenX 6, LivePapers, LowPowerBanner, ManualCorrect Pro, MultiIconMover, Nitrous, OpenBackup, OverBoard, SBSettings, Source Saver, Springtomize 2, TorchNC, WinterBoard, Zeppelin, 1derful HD.
LivePapers is working now with all the above apps installed.
It doesn't work at all for me. Safe mode loop... I originally thought it was the evasion update but nope, after I uninstalled LivePapers it was fixed and I could exit safe mode. Running on iOS 6.1 iPhone 4.
Too bad =/. Seemed pretty cool, hopefully it'll get fixed.
don 't use [email protected] in a theme WB, don't use iWidget or widget html winterboard, some tweaks LS no work with LivePapers, it will be fixe later.
iPhone 5 running iOS 6.1.1
i have almost every jb app/tweak imaginable installed and after many hours of trying to figure out which app/tweak was causing springboard to crash with livepaper installed... it turns out (for me) to be springtomize2.
after uninstalling springtomize2 the springboard stopped crashing. i understand (after reading this thread) that some folk report no issues with springtomize2 and some folk mention it's a setting in springtomize (thank you!) that causes the issue.
so i re-installed springtomize2 and, sure enough, it crashed the springboard. then i reset my springtomize2 settings to default and 'resprung' and the springboard no longer crashes!
i then went back into springtomize2 and started to re-apply my custom settings (respringing after making a change in each category) and what i found was that having "Hide Reflection" and "Hide Shadow" enabled under the "Dock" section was causing the springboard to crash.
For those of you experiencing springboard crashes with livepaper and springtomize2 installed... suggest resetting the srpingtomize2 custom settings and then reapply any custom settings except for "Hide Reflection" and "Hide Shadow". If srpingboard continues to crash after that then maybe you have some other custom setting in springtomize2 set that I don't have set. if that is so then apply one new setting at a time and respring after each change to see if that setting is a conflict.

Dubbledam's concept of overlapping zones and spatial connectivity is most apparent in the master bath. "I took everything a bathroom needs and wrapped a low surface around all of those—two sinks, tub, toilet." The Aegean blue topographic form is made of a light wood frame wrapped in fiberglass and coated in a thin layer of waterproof structural cement plaster. The unit was built upside down like a boat, then inverted into place. The floor is also coated in the same waterproof plaster to accommodate a freestanding shower.
Lighted niches of pale green glass tile pierce the blue surface. Stainless steel sinks and an institutional steel toilet preserve the loft's industrial edge. "I really like the shape of prison toilets, plus they're made to keep people from hurting themselves," chuckles Dubbledam. An existing rough wood column supports an oblong mirror and warms the layers of cool surfaces. Sumi glass, a Japanese glass with an interior film that can be specified in various levels of translucency, constitutes the bath's three-sided partition. The floating glass divider turns up again to encapsulate a private library and two guest bedrooms.
The whole bath is kind of a meditation, Dubbledam says. "I was thinking of an airplane at night with low intimate lighting. Flick off the bright ceiling fixtures and a glow emanates from the lighted niches, a soothing flight of fancy."

Thanksgiving Day is typically a chance to carve out some quality time to eat, drink and be merry with family and friends, but if your feast goes foul, knowing what your home insurance covers will help.
Let Insurance.com help you find affordable home insurance now.
"All hosts should be aware that if someone drives drunk or becomes sick after consuming food at a holiday party, the host could actually be liable," Robert Rusbuldt, CEO of Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (IIABA), said in a written statement.
For protection, the Insurance Information Institute advises taking common-sense steps such as practicing perfect kitchen hygiene, and the IIABA says you should be aware of your state's "social host liability laws."
On the banquet front, keep in mind that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say food-borne illnesses are responsible for about 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths each year.
If a guest gets food poisoning, a typical homeowners insurance policy would likely cover the cost for a trip to an emergency room. If medical expenses incurred go beyond that, the guest could sue.
Your homeowners insurance policy will generally protect you up to a minimum of $100,000 in liability coverage if anyone decides to take legal action, says Loretta Worters, III spokeswoman. "If your guest gets sick and sues you for damages, your insurer will pay for your legal expenses for a resulting lawsuit, even if the suit is groundless," she says.
Worters adds that you can buy extra coverage -- most agents suggest looking into carrying at least $300,000 to $500,000 of liability protection, depending on the value of your assets. The III also advises another $1 million in umbrella insurance coverage.
Worters explains that an umbrella policy takes effect when you've reached the limit on the underlying liability coverage in a homeowners, condo, renters or auto policy. "It will also cover you for things such as libel and slander," she says, adding that a $1 million umbrella policy can usually be bought for about $150 to $300 a year.
Deep-fry your turkey, not your holiday
State Farm says Christmas Day in 2013 for the first time surpassed Thanksgiving Day for the highest number of cooking-related fire claims, but even so, claims typically double on Thanksgiving compared with a typical November day.
Blame the deep fryer and the lure of a crispy turkey. Fryers result in about 1,000 emergency fire calls each year, says the National Fire Protection Association, causing about $15 million in damage each year.
- More than a third of fires involving a fryer start in a garage or patio. Cook outdoors at a safe distance from any buildings or trees and keep the fryer off any wooden structures, like a deck or patio.
- Avoid a hot oil spillover by first filling the pot with cold oil and then lower the thawed turkey into the pot to determine how much oil needs to be added or removed.
- Shut off the fuel source or flame when adding the turkey to the hot oil to prevent a flare-up if oil does splash out.
- Make sure your turkey is completely thawed and dry before lowering it slowly into the pot.
- Never leave a hot turkey fryer unattended.
- Don't use ice or water to cool down oil or put out an oil fire.
- Keep an extinguisher approved for cooking or grease fire nearby.
Unattended cooking is the chief cause of fires, so:
- Be on alert! If you are sleepy or have consumed alcohol don't use the stove or stove top.
- Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, grilling, or broiling food. If you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove.
- If you are simmering, baking, roasting, or boiling food, check it regularly, remain in the home while food is cooking, and use a timer to remind you that you are cooking.
- Keep anything that can catch fire — oven mitts, wooden utensils, food packaging, towels or curtains — away from your stove top.
- Just get out! When you leave, close the door behind you to help contain the fire.
- Call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number after you leave.
- If you try to fight the fire, be sure others are getting out and you have a clear way out.
- Keep a lid nearby when you're cooking to smother small grease fires. Smother the fire by sliding the lid over the pan and turn off the stove top. Leave the pan covered until it is completely cooled.
- For an oven fire turn off the heat and keep the door closed.
Beyond home insurance -- practical steps to take
A recent IIABA survey of 760 families found that about 75 percent admit serving food prepared by others, outside their home, during the holidays. Here's the IIABA's safety advice on various potential holiday pitfalls:
Take the turkey's temperature: "Make sure that you check food and don't put anything out that you suspect may be undercooked, spoiled or contaminated," says the IIABA. "Use only reputable food purveyors (caterers, delis, the local pizza joint and family or friends). When in doubt, throw it out." Check the bird's temperature before serving -- it has to be cooked to an internal 165 degrees.
Put a cap on cocktails: If you want a party atmosphere, plan activities that don't center on drinking. Also, provide "safe, filling food" to counteract the alcohol and provide non-alcoholic beverages. Also, know who the designated drivers are before time. Stop serving liquor, wine and beer an hour before the party is expected to end. And cut off any guests who are clearly drunk or getting there.
Party elsewhere: To lower your liability, have the holiday dinner at a restaurant or bar that has a liquor license instead of a home or office. And call a cab for anyone who has had too much. Or get them a hotel room or let them sleep it off at your place.
Know the law -- and your policy: Finally, the IIABA suggests learning just what the "social host liability" statutes are in your state to see exactly what you could be sued for. Reviewing your homeowners policy each year is also a good idea, especially if you've increased the value of your home and assets, according to the IIABA.
A cornucopia of Thanksgiving stats compiled by the CDC:
2.6 billion pounds --The total weight of sweet potatoes — another popular Thanksgiving side dish — grown by major sweet potato producing states in 2012. North Carolina (1.2 billion pounds) produced more sweet potatoes than any other state, followed by California, Mississippi and Louisiana.
768 million pounds -- The forecast for U.S. cranberry production in 2012. Wisconsin was estimated to lead all states in the production of cranberries, with 450 million pounds, followed by Massachusetts (estimated at 210 million).New Jersey, Oregon and Washington were also estimated to have substantial production, ranging from 14 to 54 million pounds.
242 million --The number of turkeys forecasted to be raised in the United States in 2013. That is down 5 percent from the number raised during 2012.
45 million -- The forecast for the number of turkeys Minnesota will raise in 2013. The Gopher State was tops in turkey production, followed by North Carolina (35 million), Arkansas (29 million), Indiana (17 million), Missouri (17 million), and Virginia (16 million).
6,500 -- Number of members of the Wampanoag American Indian tribal grouping, as of 2010, roughly half of whom reside in Massachusetts. The Wampanoag, the American Indians in attendance, played a lead role in this historic encounter, and they had been essential to the survival of the colonists during the newcomers' first year. The Wampanoag are a people with a sophisticated society who have occupied the region for thousands of years. They have their own government, their own religious and philosophical beliefs, their own knowledge system, and their own culture. They are also a people for whom giving thanks was a part of daily life.
98.3 percent -- Percentage of households with a television in 2011. No doubt, many guests either before, after, or perhaps even during the feast will settle in front of their TVs to watch some football.
32 -- Number of counties, places and townships in the United States named Plymouth, as in Plymouth Rock, the landing site of the first Pilgrims. The two counties, both named Plymouth, are in Massachusetts (2012 population of 499,759) and Iowa (24,907 in 2012). Plymouth, Minn., is the most populous place, with 72,928 residents in 2012; Plymouth, Mass., had 57,463 that year.
7 -- Number of places and townships in the United States that are named Cranberry or some spelling variation of the acidic red berry (e.g., Cranbury, N.J.), a popular side dish at Thanksgiving. Cranberry Township (Butler County), Pa., was the most populous of these places in 2012, with 28,832 residents. Cranberry township (Venango County), Pa., was next (6,608).
4 -- Number of places in the United States named after the holiday's traditional main course. Turkey Creek, La., was the most populous in 2012, with 440 residents, followed by Turkey, Texas (415), Turkey, N.C. (295) and Turkey Creek, Ariz. (294). There are also two townships in Pennsylvania with "Turkey" in the name: Upper Turkeyfoot and Lower Turkeyfoot.

Professor Richard Squire Writes One of Top 10 Corporate Articles of 2012May 08, 2013
Fordham Law Professor Richard Squire's article "How Collective Settlements Camouflage the Costs of Shareholder Lawsuits," 62 Duke Law Journal 1 (2012), has been selected as one of the top ten corporate and securities articles of 2012.
The article was chosen through the Corporate Practice Commentator's 19th annual poll, in which teachers of corporate and securities law were asked to make selections from a list of articles published and indexed in legal journals during 2012. More than 550 articles were on this year's list.
Squire's article addresses the way corporations insure against liability in shareholder lawsuits by purchasing tiered coverage from multiple insurers who each cover a distinct segment of the potential damages range. Squire argues that the "duty to contribute," which requires an insurer to pay its policy amount when the plaintiff makes a settlement demand that exceeds that amount and another insurer or the corporation is willing to pay the rest, biases negotiations toward settlements that overcompensate plaintiffs.
Squire, who specializes in corporations and corporate bankruptcy, has been a member of the Fordham Law faculty since 2006. He was named Teacher of the Year in both 2011 and 2012.

I have decided to create a new thread - a follow up on the bruteforce attack thread. Hopefully this will give everyone a head start and develop from here.
PS I'm still a linux newb
Here is the video. Apologies if its too slow, you guys might want to fast forward a few bits
Here are the commands
I have only struggled with the meterpreter service installer, it installs fine but I can't run the test.rb script. If anyone else has success let me know. http://www.phreedom.org/software/metsvc/
Jobs I think need doing
(1) get the test.rb script working
(2) Meterpreter script to automate the uploading of wireless key viewer and meterpreter server -- on non transparency mode we have little time so it is essential that it's automated
(3) Scripts to start stop, redirect victims
Wireless key viewer was modified with a hex editor to bypass most av detection.
If anyone wants it and any other files I used then I will upload them somewhere.

T Bone Burnett stepping down as 'Nashville's' executive music producer
Listen to T Bone Burnett on iHeartRadio
The man behind the music on ABC's "Nashville" is leaving the series. T Bone Burnett's manager tells "The Hollywood Reporter" the in-demand musician, songwriter, and producer has a slate of other film, television, and recording projects, which would have made it impossible for him to return for a second season.
The rep adds that T Bone only intended to take part in one season of the show. "Nashville" creator Callie Khouri - who's also Burnett's wife - confirms that "T Bone's schedule this year is so overwhelming." She says Burnett set the gold standard for the show through his commitment to the quality of the music and the sound for the characters, and they were very lucky to get him to launch the series.
Khouri adds that country singer, songwriter, and producer Buddy Miller, who worked closely with T Bone on season one, has been named as Burnett's replacement. The second season of "Nashville" will launch on ABC in the fall.

Spions Increase Biofilm Formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Vol.3 No.4A,
ABSTRACT: Limited research has suggested iron oxide nanoparticles (FeNP) have an inhibitory effect against several different genera of bacteria: Staphylococcus, Bacillus and Pseudomonas spp. In this study we looked at the effect of three different sets of Fe3O4 nanoparticles (FeNPs) on the development of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 biofilms. Two of the tested NPs were SPIONs (Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles). Exposure of cells to the SPIONs at concentrations up to 200 μg/ml resulted in an increase in biofilm biomass by 16 h under static conditions and a corresponding increase in cell density in the bulk liquid. In contrast, these biofilms had decreased levels of extracellular DNA (eDNA). Fe(II) levels in the supernatants of biofilms formed in the presence of FeNPs exceeded 100 μM compared with 20 μM in control media without cells. Spent cell supernatants had little effect on Fe(II) levels. Cells also had an effect on the aggregation behavior of these nanoparticles. SPIONs incubated with cells exhibited a decrease in the number and size of FeNP aggregates visible using light microscopy. SPIONs resuspended in fresh media or spent culture supernatants formed large aggregates visible in the light microscope upon exposure to a supermagnet; and could be pelleted magnetically in microtitre plate wells. In contrast, SPION FeNPs incubated with cells were unaffected by exposure to the supermagnet and could not be pelleted. The results of this study indicate a need to reconsider the effects of FeNPs on bacterial growth and biofilm formation and the effect the bacterial cells may have on the use and recovery of SPIONs.

Hi soontobemum
The short answer is yes caffeine can have an effect on your baby. Caffeine is a stimulate which crosses the placenta. There is a good thread in this forum you might like to read: Caffeine During Pregnancy
At the end of the day we know caffeine consumption can effect our health as adults so we then need to consider whether we want to similarly impact the health of a growing baby.
I am addicted to tea and could not go a day without it. The solution is decaf. I drank decaffeinated tea while attempting to conceive, during pregnancy and the first year of breastfeeding.

A highly publicized 2008 study found that women who consumed 200 mg or more of caffeine a day had double the risk of miscarriage of those who took in no caffeine. However, not all studies show a link between caffeine consumption and a higher risk of miscarriage.
2nd October 2013 04:54 AM #4
Yes I would agree that it is best to consume no more than 200 mg of caffeine when pregnant or trying to conceive and ideally just keep caffeine to a real minimum in pregnancy.
Decaffeinated coffee can also unfortunately cause problems in pregnancy if it is chemically decaffeinated. Strictly speaking, it is best to drink coffee which is decaffeinated by the Swiss Water Filter Process. Have you tried Red Bush tea? This is naturally caffeine free.
Remember that energy drinks and chocolate also contain caffeine so these need to be counted in the daily allowance.
Warm wishes,

It's one of the Ten Commandments: Do not lie.
As a child I got a pretty graphic example from a nun of why lying is unwise.
She said if you tell a lie you will have to tell nine more lies to cover up that one lie, and for each of those nine lies you tell, you will have to tell nine more, and for each of those you will have to tell nine more, and so on.
"You 0can't keep track of all the lies, so you will be caught," she said.
I have a whole new perspective on lying.

Part 2: The threesome forged a unique and mysterious bond.
By Capt. Bill Pike — May 2003
Lowell agreed reluctantly. The idea of concocting a 40-foot commercial dragger to fit a stem that had been concocted for yet another 40-foot dragger held little appeal. Nevertheless, in 1983 he began design work on the Connie O'Connor. (Norton had decided to name his new boat after his grandmother.) He continued construction until 1987, using the project to slake the pauses between others and to move his youngsters, Jamie and Joe, toward a dream of his own: Carroll B. Lowell & Sons. During those years, the boys and their father laid the backbone of the Connie, ribbed it with white oak, put in the floor timbers (white oak again), and planked the resulting skeleton with white cedar. They hauled the emerging vessel from her birthplace at Yankee Marina over to Even Keel, where they installed her alongside a nearly finished 38-foot beauty: Sea Scribe, built by Lowell for Donald McGraw of the McGraw-Hill publishing family. Working amid a milieu of shavings, sawdust, French curves, and line drawings, the threesome forged a unique and mysterious bond--the one that exists between fathers and sons.
Then Norton did something that was wholly in character but still a little surprising: He disappeared finally and forever, leaving Even Keel with a semifinished, unpaid-for dragger on its hands. "Because she was so big and taking so long to finish, my Dad called her the Ark," says Jamie. "She was his least favorite boat, I guess, but it still hurt him to see her left that way." Lowell didn't have enough ready cash to finish the Connie himself, and she wasn't complete enough to sell, so he and the boys moved her to a likely spot in the yard. Funereally, they covered her with a big, blue tarp, and she stayed that way for the next five years.
Times turned hard for Carroll Lowell. Certainly the death of older brother Royal, arguably the most famous downeast boat designer who ever lived, cleared the way for the development of the younger man's own design skills. When she was launched, the Sea Scribe caused nothing less than an overnight sensation in the yachting press, making Carroll Lowell famous both as a builder and a designer. Moreover, his boys were coming along--no longer did he have to change their diapers on the table saw or instruct them in the vagaries of wielding chisels, mallets, try squares, and drawknives. Although Jamie was just 15 years old when the Connie was tarped and Joe was just 11, both boys were already evincing the same graceful grasp of boatbuilding that had hallmarked the family for six generations.
But trouble insinuated itself into the simple life Lowell loved. The fame he enjoyed brought strife and turmoil as well as opportunity and prominence. Altercations with business partner and friend Capt. Archie Ross turned into a feud, and the feud generated a lawsuit over the ownership of Even Keel, one that would drag on for years. Boatbuilding stopped at the little shop, and Lowell went to work for another friend, Alan Dugas, proprietor of nearby Royal River Boat Yard. Lowell's sons hired on elsewhere as well. Then, in 1993, with dark clouds scudding across his personal horizon, the Connie O'Connor came back into Lowell's life.

McClatchy Newspapers
WASHINGTON — Sometime today, the federal government will take the first step toward cutting spending in dozens of departments and programs after the two major parties each tried and failed to muscle partisan alternatives through the Senate.
With the last-minute effort to avert the automatic spending cuts failed, the House of Representatives adjourned, the Senate wrapped up its scheduled business for the week, and most members went home.
That raised the stakes for a meeting today at the White House with President Barack Obama and the leaders of both parties in Congress as they debate how or whether they can change course in the days ahead as the spending cuts take effect over time
"Tomorrow I will bring together leaders from both parties to discuss a path forward," Obama said after the congressional votes failed.
"As a nation, we can't keep lurching from one manufactured crisis to another," he said. "Middle-class families can't keep paying the price for dysfunction in Washington. We can build on the over $2.5 trillion in deficit reduction we've already achieved, but doing so will require Republicans to compromise. That's how our democracy works, and that's what the American people deserve."
With Congress gone, even a last-minute breakthrough agreement that no one expects likely would come too late to stop the first moves to start cutting $85 billion from this year's $3.5 trillion budget.
Sometime before midnight — the 2011 law requiring the cuts stipulated only that they start going into effect on March 1 — Obama is expected to sign a directive ordering the White House Office of Management and Budget to start putting the cuts into effect. With much of the federal budget such as Social Security off limits, the cuts will be concentrated on a smaller part of the government, split evenly between defense and non-defense programs. Many will take weeks or even months to go into effect.
The 2011 law set the automatic cuts to force Congress and Obama to come up with a more palatable alternative to curb deficits by $1.2 trillion over 10 years. But Democrats insisted on adding tax increases and smaller spending cuts. Republicans insisted that it all be done with spending cuts.
And that's where they ended up again Thursday in the Senate.
Democrats proposed curbing projected deficits with a minimum 30 percent tax on millionaires, the closing of tax loopholes, and spending cuts to military and farm programs.
Republicans proposed keeping the same amount of spending cuts but giving Obama flexibility in how the cuts are implemented.
"What we're about to go through is in some respects a charade because we know that the proposal on that (Democratic) side will not succeed with 60 votes," said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. "The proposal on this side will not succeed with 60 votes. Meanwhile the clock moves on until some time tomorrow night."
The Republican bill fell far short of the 60-vote threshold on a procedural vote and was defeated with 38 senators for and 62 against. The Democratic measure failed 51-49. Both sides seemed publicly cemented in their positions Thursday.
At the White House, press secretary Jay Carney mocked the Republican proposal, asserting that "no amount of flexibility changes the fact that these severe cuts threaten thousands of middle-class jobs and slash vital services for children, seniors, and our troops and military families."
Even before Thursday's votes and today's meeting, congressional Democrats and Republicans were looking ahead, suggesting that the cuts could be restored, or at least reconsidered, in budget fights to come. That's likely to come over the next three weeks when government funding expires March 27, requiring new budget legislation called a continuing resolution.
House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell didn't sound like they were in compromising moods Thursday.
"The president and the Democrat leaders have failed to pass a solution of their own," Boehner said. "My message at the White House will be the same as what I'm telling you today. It's time for them to do their job."
McConnell said he plans to make clear to Obama Friday that "the American people will simply not accept replacing spending cuts agreed to by both parties with tax hikes."
"The American people were promised more spending control, and Republicans are going to help them see that that promise is fulfilled — and in the smartest way possible."

Project executive Curtis Davis explained that the area had been used as a dumping ground in the late 19th century, as city planners called for infilling of the swampy waters that once covered the site. "You can think of it as a landfill," he says. "Much of what was unearthed has not been fully identified yet."
The museum, which is slated to open in 2015, has crossed a hurdle, says Davis, and no major impediments stand in the way of its plans to select an architect and designer by as early as next fall.
During the colonial era, the site was part of a slave-holding plantation. The area later supported slave markets. "For African Americans, this place has a particular resonance," says Fleur Paysour, the museum's spokesperson. The archaeologists turned up little, however, in the way of historical evidence of that time.
"It is hard to recover material that supports evidence of the condition of slave's lives during the periods of Colonial Washington, the Civil War and Reconstruction," says Davis. "The usual archaeological evidence ascribed to ownership is difficult because slaves were property and didn't typically own property."

Once More, Awaiting a 'Great Rotation'
Signs Indicate Investors Are Starting a Long-Awaited Move Out of Bonds and Into Stocks, But Skeptics Remain
As 2013 gets under way, one of the biggest questions in financial markets is again bubbling: Will this finally be the year that investors dump bonds and return to stocks?
For years, market watchers have called for what has become known as the "great rotation" out of bonds and into stocks. And for years they have been wrong.

Measuring Function Execution Time
Why would you want to measure the execution time of a function call? There could be several reasons:
- You want to improve the speed of your code, measuring how much faster it is since the previous version
- You want to compare two implementations of the same functionality with regards to speed
The Basic Way
The most basic way to measure function execution time is to use the function tc in the module timer. An example is shown below:
1> timer:tc(lists, seq, [1,10]). {5,[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]} 2>
This tells us that generating the list with integers from 1 to 10 using the lists module took 5 microseconds (that's micro, not milli).
Making It More Useful
The tc function is already quite useful, but generally function execution times vary depending on different circumstances. In most cases it is external ones, such as garbage collection, io operations etc. To get a more stable view of the performance of your function, a simple helper function is easy to write:
test_avg(M, F, A, N) when N > 0 -> L = test_loop(M, F, A, N, []), Length = length(L), Min = lists:min(L), Max = lists:max(L), Med = lists:nth(round((Length / 2)), lists:sort(L)), Avg = round(lists:foldl(fun(X, Sum) -> X + Sum end, 0, L) / Length), io:format("Range: ~b - ~b mics~n" "Median: ~b mics~n" "Average: ~b mics~n", [Min, Max, Med, Avg]), Med. test_loop(_M, _F, _A, 0, List) -> List; test_loop(M, F, A, N, List) -> {T, _Result} = timer:tc(M, F, A), test_loop(M, F, A, N - 1, [T|List]).
With this function we get both the minimum, the maximum, the median and the average execution time:
2> test_avg(lists, seq, [1,10], 10000). Range: 2 - 7824 mics Median: 3 mics Average: 4 mics 3 3>
The function returns the median execution time, since it is the best way to dodge the large numbers (in this case 7824) that are exceptions to the normal execution time.
Using this function or just timer:tc/3 you can easily measure execution time for functions in the Erlang shell. Very useful!
As an exercise, add a metric for the first iteration and not including the first iteration in the range, median, and average calculations. First Iteration metrics are necessary in some systems to examine the effects of OS caching, runtime caching, compiler optimizations, first-time memory allocation, and garbage collection. Many times, you will find that it is the first iteration that is the outlying data point in your benchmarks.
Advanced Profiling
For more advanced profiling tools please see the Profiling chapter in the Erlang Efficiency Guide.

Depression is often the tip of the iceberg, in terms of what is happening with the psyche. It lets you know something is wrong, and then, you must explore the underlying causes. Once you have done that, relief is possible. There are times when the depression has been around for so long that you may have forgotten what it feels like to feel good...in such cases, a combined approach, in cooperation with your MD, with therapy + medications, will improve your prognosis.

thanks evzybro. that means a lot.

Jimmy, anytime I can help a bro by kicking the shit out of them, I am there....what else are forum bro's for?
I will have to insist on you refraining from witty remarks during the kicking though, I can't punch for shit anyway and its even worse if I am pissing myself laughing

The Hollywood Reporter ran this article and I think everyone wishes they knew who it was. All that is known is that he is a long time Academy voting member who is a director and is brutally honest.
To read the entire thing, click here.
Blanchett has to win this. Bullock is the weak link — she's just OK. For Streep, whom I love, this is a bottom-drawer performance. Dench is a terrific actress, and she's very good in this film. Adams I love. But you have to vote for who's truly the best, and to me, Blanchett — whom I'm normally not that wild about, with the exception of Bandits — is that. She was just a revelation; she was just spectacular.
MY PICK: Cate Blanchett (Blue Jasmine)
Everyone was at least very good, but Cooper was the best. I think this is the best he's been in anything. If he wasn't in the category, I'd probably end up voting for Jonah Hill, only because I found him so funny. Jared Leto was good and will win, but he's getting tremendous points because of the person he's playing more than the way he played it, which is as close to pandering as you can get.
MY PICK: Bradley Cooper (American Hustle)
Lawrence and Hawkins are the two obvious best of the five. Hawkins had a difficult part — it's not an attractive role, and she's intentionally overshadowed constantly by Blanchett, but she registers strongly in each scene she's in. Jennifer was even better — she has that extra level of excitement in every scene she's in. She just dazzles; she's always doing something original and bold and surprising and believable. June Squibb was fine. Julia Roberts was horrendous. And Lupita was very good, but a lot of the commotion over her is attributable to people's tremendous empathy with and sympathy for the role she's playing.
MY PICK: Jennifer Lawrence (American Hustle)

U Of L Ready To Move Forward With Academic Center At Papa John's Cardinal Stadium
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- A major donation to the University of Louisville is moving a new academic project forward.
Thorntons has made a $3 million donation that is to be matched by the university that will allow the construction of the Thorntons Academic Center of Excellence to be built just under the Norton Terrace on the south end of Papa John's Cardinal Stadium.
The new facility will serve over 750 student athletes, providing them classrooms, study space, and tutoring facilities.
The project is expected to break ground in the spring and take 14 to 16 months to be completed.
The $14 million price tag is being covered by donations and the sales from the commemorative Maker's Mark bottles.
