Sorry for the silence everyone! I've been trying to make the deadline of PAX East for our upcoming panel of Hawke vs Shepard! Below are a few pictures that we got featured in this Kotaku Article.
I have tons of pictures and videos of how we did the armor, and if you watch one of our livefeeds (I tweet them @Hollyconrad) then you can see us in action!
Anyway, more work to be done, so here's some pics!
If you're going to PAX East, we'll be at our panel at 7:30 Saturday in the Cat theater!

Well worth the wait! Hawke's costume looks incredible. Have fun at PAX, and try not to smear the floor w/ Hawke in the Hawke vs. Shepard battle. ;-)

Awesome!!! Both costumes are so amazing. Right now I'm rooting for Shepard, but that's probably because I haven't played DA2 yet. I need to get on that. Have a great time at PAX East!

Army Forces Fort Hood Killer to Shave
(NEWSER) – The beard that delayed Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan's trial for months has been forcibly removed at Fort Leavenworth, where he is one of six prisoners on military death row. The Army psychiatrist, who called the beard a "deeply sincere" symbol of his Islamic faith, began growing it after killing 13 people in the November 2009 shooting. An Army spokesman says Hasan was shaved at the prison, where officials had previously said he would be subject to military grooming regulations, the AP reports. Hasan was sentenced to death last week.

Got to the event and looked like a right twat
Got to the event and looked like a right twat
whoa, here is one just from the weekend at ucmma. in the female fight, the Olympian rep LJ Adams had her nose busted and fought on regardless, literally as if she had no injury, brilliant stuff. but at one stage they were clinching by the cage. so much blood was pouring out of her nose, covering the bottom of the cage and timekeepers table. can't remember ever seeing so much blood.
anyway, DoD had left a pint on the table. this pint, far from the glorious amber that you would expect, was full of blood and had turned completely red, looked like a thick snakebite/black. horrible. I caught a pic of it and Dave's reaction. will post at some stage.

man i wish i was old enough to have been involved for longer, sounds funny as!
I once saw a guy from Antonios gym win a title on an event that states "our goal is to achieve and deliver only the highest standards with our Mixed Martial Arts Promotions, so come and experience the difference and see high performance delivered!"
I LOL'd
I'd popped into a bar in the Printworks in Manchester for a post-UFC 105 weigh-ins Long Island Iced Tea, when who do I see at the bar next to me but Matt Riddle, two of his mates and two adults (who I assumed, from the way they were talking, were his parents). The parents went to sit down, leaving Riddle and his mates at the bar.
Anywho, Riddle was being really rude and obnoxious to the waitress...I won't go into exactly what was done/said, but it was well out of order. Eventually the poor girl had had enough, and decided to ID him in front of his mates to shut him up (he'd ordered beers for his mates). None of them had ID, prompting Riddle to drop the "Don't you know who I am" clanger.
Despite much protesting, and a hurried explanation of what a UFC fighter was, the barmaid wouldn't budge. Riddle had to go and get his mummy to come up to the bar with him.
Fighting, writing and mood lighting.
I remember seeing lee doski coming in to his fight with jess liaudin and fall out the cage door.
Also remember seeing some fight kicking off at a BAMMA after party and Denis kang splitting it up.
the bullshit stops when the cage door locks!!! @prosystemsmma @Ryanwhitemma
I once did a bad fart and blamed it on the dude sat next to me.

Why Putin Let MH17 Get Shot Down
President Putin has been recklessly escalating the crisis in eastern Ukraine since he was embarrassed and outmaneuvered by the Ukrainian president three weeks ago. Allowing a passenger jet to be shot down is the act of an increasingly desperate man.
The Kremlin ordered tanks, heavy weapons and Russian fighters to pour over the border stoking up the crisis until tragedy struck. We should have seen it coming; on Wednesday morning the front page of Foreign Policy magazine had a headline that should have sent shockwaves through the geopolitical landscape: Russia Is Firing Missiles At Ukraine.
The story followed several Russian citizens posting videos to social media which they said show GRAD rockets being fired from Russian territory toward Ukraine. By triangulating the different camera angles, my team at The Interpreter proved that the unguided rockets were indeed being fired into Ukraine from Russia. Thursday morning, there were reports that a group of Ukrainian soldiers had been hit by the rocket fire and were actually receiving medical treatment on the other side of the border, ironically enough in the same town from which the rockets had been launched in the first place.
This should have been huge news. How could things in Ukraine have deteriorated to the point where Putin was now engaged in such a reckless act of aggression? Of course, it was huge news... but for only a few hours. Quickly this headline was buried under the news that another Malaysian airlines flight was missing, and evidence is steadily growing that either Russian-backed separatists or Russia itself may have fired the missile that brought it down.
While much of the media is trying to figure out who shot this aircraft down, with what weapon and where it was obtained, it might be more instructive to focus instead on the 'whys' of this incident.
Why would Putin want to shoot down a commercial airliner? And if it was an accident, why would Putin allow the separatists to have a weapon this powerful without having full control over how it was used?
The answer to that question reveals that the situation in Ukraine, and in Moscow, is much, much worse than many had feared.
The first thing we have to understand is that the Kremlin spent a lot of time and money to bring down, either deliberately or accidentally, Malaysian Airlines flight MH17. The prime suspect is a Buk surface-to-air missile system. This is not a shoulder-fired weapon easily smuggled across the border, a point-and-shoot heat-seeking weapon that could be used with little training by anyone who got their hands on it. This is an advanced and battle-proven series of highly sophisticated vehicles which coordinate to track targets with radar and fire missiles so advanced that they were designed to knock smart bombs and cruise missiles out of the sky. Whoever launched this weapon was highly trained and extremely well-equipped.

The Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS), created in 2003 by governments, non-governmental organizations and the diamond industry to eradicate conflict diamonds from the world's diamond supply, and the Clean Diamond Trade Act of 2003 provided a framework for building a global diamond market that is today over 99% certified to be from conflict-free sources. Zale has further taken measures against the conflict diamond trade by developing a conflict diamond compliance program, which requires our diamond vendors to provide proof of warranty from their sources of diamond merchandise.
Since the adoption of KPCS and the signing into law of the Clean Diamond Trade Act, Zale has developed a conflict diamonds compliance program, starting with the revision of its Vendor Code of Conduct to include the Kimberley Process chain of warranties. The revised code specifically requires all Zale vendors to guarantee that the diamonds and diamond-containing jewelry they provide to Zale are conflict-free. Since the implementation of the revised code, Zale has consistently received the following warranty from Zale vendors supplying diamonds and diamond jewelry:
"The diamonds herein invoiced have been purchased from legitimate sources not involved in funding conflict and in compliance with United Nations Resolutions. The undersigned hereby guarantees that these diamonds are conflict-free, based on personal knowledge and/or written guarantees provided by the supplier of these diamonds."
Other significant measures Zale has instituted include, but are not limited to, requiring our diamond vendors to provide proof of warranty from their sources of diamond merchandise upon request, training store associates on the Zale conflict diamond program and auditing our processes for compliance. Zale has also required its vendors to recertify their adherence to KPCS.
We take the issue of conflict diamonds very seriously.
Zale is making every effort to bar conflict diamonds from its inventory and provide assurances to our customers that the diamonds we sell are from legitimate sources.
Conflict diamonds are diamonds mined in certain African combat zones that have fueled and funded civil war and gross abuses against the civilian population. Such diamonds are estimated to currently account for less than 1% of the world diamond production.
All of the nations with significant involvement in the diamond trade and the leading industry associations cooperated in creating a global certification system aimed at preventing criminals from placing these conflict diamonds into the legitimate diamond supply chain. To supplement this government effort, leading organizations in the jewelry industry have created a voluntary program of self-regulation.
We fully support this program and will do everything we can to make the new system work. Diamonds are a symbol of love and we want our customers to have confidence that we are using our best efforts to both bar conflict diamonds from our inventory and sell diamonds and diamond jewelry that are "conflict-free."
This information will assist you in understanding the conflict diamond issue and the global certification system of warranties.
The most important contribution jewelers can make within our industry is to deal only with trade suppliers of diamonds and diamond jewelry that comply with the Kimberley Process and its warranty system. We follow this policy and have taken concrete, comprehensive steps to sell diamonds that are conflict-free:
The questions and answers below will assist you in understanding the conflict diamond issue. We want our shareholders, customers and employees to have confidence that Zale is using its best efforts to both bar conflict diamonds from its inventory and sell diamonds that are "conflict-free."
What are conflict diamonds?
Conflict diamonds are diamonds mined in certain African combat zones that have fueled and funded civil war and gross abuses against the civilian population. Such diamonds are estimated to currently account for less than 1% of the world diamond production.
What is the Kimberley Process?
As of 2009, approximately 75 countries have adopted a system to control the export and import of rough diamonds. Known as the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS), it requires that each shipment of rough diamonds - before stones are cut and polished - be in a tamper-resistant container and accompanied by a certificate of origin. At later stages of the diamonds' journey to market, rough diamonds also carry a certificate describing the shipment's contents and confirming that the stones are coming from a Kimberley Process participant. Any country declining to participate is effectively barred from the international diamond trade. In addition, the Clean Diamond Trade Act codifies many of the provisions of the Kimberley Process. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection is responsible for enforcement at American ports.
What role does the jewelry industry have in protecting the diamond supply?
The most important contribution jewelers can make within our industry is to deal only with trade suppliers of diamonds and diamond jewelry that comply with KPCS. Zale fully supports this voluntary program of self-regulation.
What steps has Zale Corporation taken to safeguard its diamond supply?
Zale has taken concrete, comprehensive steps to offer for sale diamonds that are "conflict-free":

The only thing I like better than saying something like this is reading — and passing on — something I wish I had written, primarily because it saves me the effort of having to write it myself.
So, thank you, Jim Lynch, and go here to read Jim's response to the PC World article that said that the Linux Desktop is dead.

Studies found similar spotting or bleeding as with traditional, cyclic birth control pills. And breakthrough bleeding decreased the longer women stayed on the regimen. With Seasonale, a pill with active ingredients is taken every day for three months (84 days for a 28-day cycle), followed by an inactive pill for seven days. Seasonique has the same dosing frequency, but the seven-day cycle includes a reduced estrogen dosage instead of a placebo. Using low-dose estrogen pills instead of a placebo limits the bloating and breakthrough bleeding experienced by some women taking Seasonale. 9.

The compiling of what follows here a top-10 list started with 1) watching Tom Brady suffer a twisted knee during Patriots practice on Wednesday, when an offensive lineman fell into the quarterback, sending him to the ground and all of New England into cardiac arrest, and 2) figuring out exactly what in the name of Webster's we were looking for.
Turns out, it's a grouping of the state's great college football players, but it's one off from just that. It's a list of players whose teams can least afford to lose them. It's a list of the guys coaches wish they could coat in bubble wrap, the players who cause those coaches to break out in hives whenever they get bumped or dinged or for the love of man, nooooooooo seriously damaged. It doesn't mean these guys are the best players, although some of them are, but it does mean they are the most … what's the word? Valuable? Essential? Vital? Necessary?
In reverse order, then, here are the most indispensable college football players in Utah:
• 10. Eathyn Manumaleuna, BYU
He's not the Cougars' most talented defensive lineman that would be Bronson Kaufusi but Manumaleuna is key because of his versatility. The BYU defensive front already has suffered some injuries, and Manumaleuna has the experience and ability to go inside or out. He'll be important as the attrition of a long season exacts its cruel toll.
• 9. Eric Rowe, Utah
All spots in the defensive secondary are important, but with the switching, hybrid defenses the Utes are installing, the significance of a multifaceted player such as Rowe is rocketed into the ionosphere. In his first two seasons, he played or started in 23 games. Mixed with his speed, that kind of experience underscores the junior's status. Add to the equation that Utah is thin in back and Rowe's inclusion here is justified.
• 8. Cody Hoffman, BYU
Hoffman would rank higher if it weren't for other Cougar receivers emerging as decent alternatives. He remains by far the best option out wide, having caught a ridiculous 100 balls in 2012 for a ridiculous 1,248 yards, all with a quarterback last year that had difficulty delivering accurate passes.
• 7. Tyler Larsen, Utah State
The Aggies' starting offensive line is intact from a season ago, and Larsen is the maestro of that band. The 6-4, 312-pound senior center could wind up an All-American, and replacing guys like that, should they fall, is heavy lifting. Jamie Markosian could move over to help, if needed, but Larsen is a cornerstone this season and an NFL guy next year.
• 6. C.J. Poutasi, Utah
His name is technically Cedrick Jeremiah and he answers to Cedrick, Jeremiah and C.J., but you can call him … Huge. That'll cover it. Poutasi is the 6-5, 345-pound offensive lineman assigned to protect the blind side of Utah's quarterbacks. He is the best left tackle the Utes have, and he's just a sophomore. Losing him would be a big blow to a front that can't afford it.
• 5. Jordan Johnson, BYU
Oops. This is a killer. Johnson is already gone. He blew an ACL earlier this week and left a gaping hole in the Cougars' secondary at its most vulnerable position: cornerback. This was a double-barreled blast on account of other injuries hampering the backfield: Trenton Trammell tore his ACL, Sam Lee hurt his back, and Mike Hague had knee surgery.
• 4. Trevor Reilly, Utah
Reilly is the godfather of Utah's defense, the man to whom all Utes look for not only leadership, but also inspiration. And why wouldn't they? The senior defensive end/linebacker played a good portion of last season on a torn ACL. Who does that? He's a gifted athlete and he's a little nutty, which endears him all the more to his teammates. That presence makes him more vital than his individual play ever could.
• 3. Kyle Van Noy, BYU
Nobody knows exactly why Van Noy came back for his senior season. He should be in the NFL right now. Maybe the linebacker wanted to add some strength. Maybe he wanted to continue to mature. Either way, he is the straw that stirs the soft drink in Provo. He can change the outcome of a game see last year's Poinsettia Bowl even when the Cougar offense isn't hauling its share of the load. He doesn't talk a lot, doesn't have a vast personality, but he's the heart and soul, and everybody knows what happens to a team that has neither.
• 2. (tie) Taysom Hill, BYU, and Travis Wilson, Utah
This is as much a reflection of the position as it is ability. Kyle Whittingham has stressed the significance to his team of stability at quarterback, something it hasn't had for four seasons. Wilson must provide it. The sophomore is kind of a big, floppy pup that has to grow up now and take control of the Ute offense. There is some talent behind him namely, freshman Connor Manning in case he stumbles or gets hurt, but that brings more of the same instability.
Hill gives new hope to a BYU program that has been in woeful short supply for a couple of years now. The quarterback is the alpha and omega of Cougar football, and even when the school had its best defense ever, a pall of gloom hung over it a year ago without a top-drawer QB. Hill seems to be that guy if he can stay healthy. Everybody knows what happened last fall, so the sophomore has to pick his spots to run the football, and know when to deliver it, or throw it away. BYU's players hope Hill is less plucky and gritty and more … good.
• 1. Chuckie Keeton, Utah State
The Chuckster is the king of Utah college football. If he gets knocked off his throne, the Ags are dead. If he stays injury-free, he could take the program to a new pinnacle. Let's say it the way it is here: Utah State is better this year than it was last time around, when the Aggies went 11-2. They have a terrific defense, an electric offense, but … if Keeton isn't on the field, all of that will be wasted. He's a fantastic player who absolutely cannot get hurt. The other day in practice, after a play ended, the quarterback got up popping up and down on one foot. He walked it off and went on practicing, but for a second there, nobody moved. Chuckie, then, is the undisputed MIP. The Most Indispensable Player in the state.

Gallery: Historical photos: 2011 windstorm causes destruction across San Gabriel Valley
PASADENA - Local and federal officials called on the California Public Utilities Commission this week to release its final report on Southern California Edison's response to the fierce 2011 windstorm that pummeled much of the San Gabriel Valley.
A senior California Public Utilities Commission spokeswoman, Terrie Prosper, said Thursday in an email that the report would be released Friday. But CPUC spokesman Chris Chow said Friday evening that it would now be released on Monday.
Prosper said in April that the final report was expected to be released in early August.
"I urge the PUC to issue (its) long-delayed final report regarding the tragic windstorms of 2011," Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Burbank, said in a statement. "The initial report found that SCE had to improve their maintenance for future storms, and called for an improved damage assessment method that will integrate information and produce more accurate final power restoration times.
"Without the final report, residents, local governments and other utility companies cannot learn fully from the mistakes of the past and prepare for the future."
It has been nearly a year since the state regulatory agency released its highly critical preliminary report that found that at least 20 of the more than 200 power poles downed or damaged in SCE's territory did not meet safety standards.
The overnight windstorm on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1, 2011 affected nearly 440,000 SCE customers, including about 205,000 in the San Gabriel Valley. It caused more than $34 million in public-sector damages in the Los Angeles County area.
Among the hardest-hit cities affected by SCE power outages were Temple City, Arcadia and South Pasadena. Some households and businesses were without power for more than a week.
Arcadia Mayor Bob Harbicht, who had no power at his home for six days after the windstorm, said he can't imagine what would be taking the release of the final CPUC report so long, although he was now aware of the agency's procedures.
"It seems to me if you have a preliminary report, the final report wouldn't take another year," he said.
Harbicht said his only criticism of SCE was the utility's poor communications after the windstorm and making promises to restore electricity that it didn't fulfill. He wasn't critical of the time SCE took to get things restored, he said, because "I'd never seen winds like this" before.
Rep. Judy Chu, D-Pasadena, said in a statement that "the public deserves a thorough report in a timely manner."
"My office has contacted CPUC about the status of the final report," she wrote. "The CPUC should be open and transparent about their processes."
The final report, she said, "will allow us to learn from any mistakes, ensuring we protect public safety and maintain utility service in the future."
The preliminary findings by state regulatory investigators released last year showed that at least 20 SCE poles that were downed or damaged were overloaded with cables and equipment prior to the windstorm, a violation of state law subject to potential penalties.
In addition, 17 guy wires - cables that add support to the power pole - also did not meet safety requirements, the early report said. It also found that SCE violated other requirements by "failing to adequately investigate the outages and pole failures and for failing to preserve the evidence."
Last year a third-party report commissioned by SCE found that the utility's power restoration time for the windstorm could have been shortened by as many as two days.
Among the key findings of the Davies Consulting report, released last April, were that the utility needed to develop an emergency response vision and a damage assessment process, to significantly expand the role and authority of SCE's emergency management group and to define expectations with external emergency management agencies.

You have a friend who has a kindergarten-aged daughter who's been known to tell white lies. To try to get his daughter to stop, my friend told her he has an iPhone app that detects lying. Isn't lying to teach a kid about truth setting a bad example?
Dear Miriam,
A friend of mine has a kindergarten-aged daughter who has been known to tell a white lie or two. To try to get his daughter to be more truthful, he told her that he has an iPhone app that can detect lying. I think lying to teach a kid about telling the truth is setting a bad example. What do you think?
Dear iLie,
While my daughter is only two, I tell little white lies to her all the time: We're all out of cookies, that bird on the sidewalk is just sleeping, you have to get out of the bathtub now because it's the water's bedtime. I don't know any parents that don't do it, and it's a parenting survival tactic that I think makes a lot of sense. I don't go out of my way to lie, but sometimes an age-appropriate story is a better option than the absolute truth. (Spoiler alert: the bird wasn't sleeping).
Storytelling is a means both to inform and protect children. It's where myths come from. It's why people say God is bowling during thunderstorms. It's why we have morality lessons in the Torah and other religious texts. Especially relevant to your question, it's why stories like Pinocchio have enduring value. If you just say to your kid all the time, "Don't lie," it's far less compelling than, "Here's what happened to a little boy who told a lot of lies."
If he wanted to influence her behavior in other ways (sticker charts, rewards systems, time-outs for lying), he could do that, but if he's finding this "app" to be effective, then it makes sense for the myth to continue. Kids remember the stories their parents tell them, even the ones that they know aren't actually true. Your friend's daughter may believe the app is real, or she may have doubts that she wouldn't be willing to test, just in case. Even if she's super technologically literate, she's not going to be able to prove that there isn't such an app, and the threat, told in tech language that is probably ultra-relatable to a six-year-old, may have a positive influence on her behavior.
Someday, she'll realize what her father was doing and she may be mad, but I think she'll probably understand where he was coming from. Maybe she'll call him out on his lying, and they'll have a great conversation assessing the ethical implications of lying to achieve higher moral standards. Or maybe, by then, such an app will actually exist. I'm sure a lot of parents would be thrilled to have it.
Be well,

Ovulating and Fertile
If I get my period regularly does that mean I'm ovulating and fertile?

When I was in my mid 30's, I was getting my period regularly, but I wasn't ovulating. One of the best ways to tell if you're ovulating is to use an ovulation predictor test coupled with watching your cervical mucus changes. Watch your signs of fertility and you'll know whether you're ovulating or not.
You can also take your basil body temperature each day, and you'll see your temperature rise after ovulation. Fertility Friend is a great resource and teaches you how to chart your basil body temperature.

Generally speaking, yes. Is there a reason you suspect that you are not fertile?

Though I' m having regular period, I am already 38 years old and thinking that I may not ovulating every month anymore.
I may just watch my signs of fertility and use ovulation predictor test as per Kate's advised.

If you're 38 years old you really need to be doing some extra things to increase your fertility, because you're at an advanced age for getting pregnant. When you hit the age of 40, it becomes even harder.
Be sure you are doing your preconception care right now, as this can increase fertility and help you to conceive a healthy baby.
I'm going to post more helpful tips on the "chances of getting pregnant" thread that you started. You can increase your fertility and increase your chances of conceiving, even at the age of 38.
Warm Regards,

PHILADELPHIA - For the first time this year, the Quakers will hit the road and play outside the friendly confines of The Palestra. But they won't have to travel far as the Red and Blue take on Philadelphia rival La Salle in their Big 5 opener on Monday night at Tom Gola Arena. Tip off is set for 7 p.m.
Catching the Game
Fans can watch the game on GoExplorersTV. Live stats can be found at here and live twitter updates (@PennWBB) are also available throughout the contest. A complete recap and box score can then be found at PennAthletics.com shortly after the conclusion of the game.
In the Series vs. La Salle: 41st Meeting
Though La Salle has won 33 of the first 40 meetings, Penn has taken two of the last three games.The Quakers won the first two meetings of this annual series - which began 40 years ago during the 1973-74 season - but the Explorers took 33 of the next 38 before this recent stretch of success for the Quakers. The home team has won four straight games as the Red and Blue look for their first-ever win at Tom Gola Arena. Overall, Penn is 1-15 on the road against La Salle and 0-7 since first playing at Tom Gola Arena in 1999.
About La Salle
Entering the weekend, the Explorers had won one of their first four games. The lone victory was a 10-point win at Manhattan. In the season opener, La Salle lost to Big 5 rival Temple by 13 at Tom Gola Arena. In the 13-team Atlantic-10 Conference, the Explorers have the stingiest defense as they allow a league-low 61.2 points per game. That can be attributed to some strong rebounding numbers as they rank second in the conference in that category. Offensively, La Salle is second-to-last in scoring at 58.8 and 11th in field goal percentage. Also in this young season, the Explorers are also last in the A-10 in free throw percentage. La Salle has three players averaging double figures though. Alicia Cropper will play nearly the whole game as she averages more than 38 minutes and scores more than 13 points per game. Khristin Lee, who leads the A-10 in steals, also averages over 13 points per game. Michava Owens adds another 11.5 points per game. Siobhan Beslow averages a team-high 8.5 rebounds.
Tough Start
The Quakers may be 0-2 to start the season, but they have faced some tough competition. Penn's first two opponents this season are a combined 11-2 at the moment. St. Francis Brooklyn is 5-2 and its only two losses are to BCS opponents in St. John's and Miami (Fla.). No. 5/6 Notre Dame remains undefeated through six games.
Busy Stretch
This is the start of a busy stretch for the Quakers. After playing just two games during the first three weeks of the season, Penn will have four games in the next 10 days. Following Monday's Big 5 opener, the Quakers have a three-day break before they host LIU Brooklyn on Thursday at The Palestra. Two days later, the Red and Blue leave Philadelphia for the first time this season as they head to Lewisburg, Pa., to take on Bucknell. And then after another quick three-day break its a matchup with Army at The Palestra on Wednesday, Dec. 11. That leads right into Finals at Penn where the Quakers will have 10 days between games before they host the Battle of 33rd Street against Drexel on Dec. 21.
Big 5 Records
Its a daunting task each year for the Quakers to take on the Big 5. The conference for city bragging rights includes the other four Division I schools in Philadelphia—Temple, La Salle, Saint Joseph's and Villanova. The first three are in the Atlantic-10 conference and the Wildcats are in Big East. Penn lost 24 straight Big 5 games after a win over Saint Joseph's on Dec. 1, 2004 at Hagan Arena, 64-57, and were 1-30 since that time against the Big 5. But the Quakers have now won two of the last five against their city rivals at The Palestra, including a 65-56 win over La Salle on Nov. 30.
Penn Trends
At least one freshman has been in the starting lineup for the Quakers in 83 of the last 89 games ... Penn was 15-2 when leading at the half last season and 3-11 when trailing, but lost the opener this year after holding a 26-25 lead ... The Quakers had fewer turnovers than their opponents in a remarkable 26 of 31 games last season (17-9 in those games) and did so again in the season opener ... The Quakers have won 10 straight games when they outrebound their opponent ... Alyssa Baron has started 89 consecutive games for the Quakers ... Three different Quakers scored more than 20 points in a game last season (Baron, Roche, Ray) and Kathleen Roche's 19 against Detroit were the most scored in a postseason game.
Magic Number: 60
The statistic that may most indicate a Penn win or loss? 60 points. Since head coach Mike McLaughlin took over at Penn, the Quakers are 28-8 (.777) when they score 60 points, including 10-3 last year. In comparison, the Quakers are just 16-64 (.200) when they've scored less than 60 points under Coach McLaughlin. The trend continues defensively. Over the last four seasons, the Red and Blue are 9-44 (.168) when allowing more than 60 points. But when holding opponents under that number, the Quakers hold a winning record of 35-29 (.540).
Climbing the Record Books
Senior Alyssa Baron added another 10 points against No. 5/6 Notre Dame. She is currently the fourth-highest scorer in program history with 1,392 for her career. This season, Baron will chase Kirsten Brendel (1,656 points) for third place and Jewel Clark (1,743) for second. Clark is also 10th all-time in scoring in Ivy history. Former Quaker Diana Caramanico holds the Ivy League scoring record at 2,415 points. Baron became the 19th Penn women's player to reach 1,000 career points on Nov. 30, 2012. She is the third-fastest Quaker to accomplish that milestone (60 games) and the first since Carrie Biemer topped the landmark in 2008. Only Penn's all-time leading scorer (man or woman), Caramanico (48 games) and Mandy West (52 games) were faster to 1,000 career points.
A Penn Win Would...
... be the first back-to-back wins over La Salle for the first time since 1973-75.
... be the first-ever at Tom Gola Arena.
... be the first on the road against La Salle since 1973-74.
... be the first back-to-back seasons with Big 5 wins since 2003-04 and 2004-05.
... be the first of the 2013-14 season.
A Penn Loss Would...
... mark the third straight on the road.
... make the Quakers 0-3 to start the season for the second straight year.
... be less good than a win.
Last Time Out
It was a special day at The Palestra, as Penn welcomed the No. 5 team in the country, Notre Dame on Nov. 23. In the end, Notre Dame (4-0), which was making its first trip to the Cathedral of College Basketball since 1981, got the expected win, 76-54. Penn (0-2) battled the Fighting Irish all night. The Quakers only allowed the bigger and more athletic Irish a six-rebound advantage (43-37), and while the sample size is only four games, Penn held ND's high-octance offense to its lowest scoring total this season. At the other end, Penn got a balanced attack -- three scoring in double figures, nine scoring overall. Freshman Sydney Stipanovich, playing just her second collegiate game, tied for team-high honors in both points (11) and rebounds (6). Junior Katy Allen also scored 11 points, while senior captain Alyssa Baron had 10. Baron also had five assists. Junior Kara Bonenberger was also notable with her effort, as she finished with six points and six boards before fouling out.
Up Next
Penn host LIU Brooklyn at The Palestra on Thursday. It will be just the second meeting between these two programs after the Quakers topped the Blackbirds in New York City last season.

Aug. 16, 2012
LARAMIE, Wyo. - This Saturday, the Wyoming Cowboys will conduct their second scrimmage of fall camp in a practice that will begin at 10 a.m. in War Memorial Stadium. The Cowboys are expected to scrimmage for 140-160 plays with the goal of getting every player on the No. 1 and No. 2 offensive and defensive units approximately 50 plays each.
Saturday's scrimmage is free and open to the public.
In the first fall scrimmage last Saturday, the defense came away with the advantage winning by a score of 70-35, keyed by five forced turnovers. But the offense came on as the scrimmage progressed. Sophomore quarterback Brett Smith completed 17 of 29 passes (58.6 percent) for 214 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions. Smith finished the day completing 12 of his final 17 passes (70.6 percent) for 188 yards and four touchdowns in those final 17 attempts.
The Cowboy coaching staff plans to utilize a very similar scrimmage format for this Saturday's second scrimmage.
"Our second scrimmage will be almost identical to the first one in terms of putting our team in specific situations," said head coach Dave Christensen. "Our goal is to get all of our ones and twos about 50 plays each, so it will be a fairly lengthy scrimmage.
"We're still trying to identify guys who can play for us this year. There is still a lot of competition on the depth chart. We've made moves of players on the depth chart daily this fall. The kids know that there won't be any final depth chart set until after the final scrimmage (on Wednesday, Aug. 22). Saturday will be a very competitive environment, with guys trying to win jobs and guys trying to hold on to jobs."
When asked to evaluate the running back position during fall camp, Christensen said he was pleased with the progress of the players competing for playing time.
"Brandon Miller came into fall camp as the starter and he's continued to hold that position and be very consistent," commented Christensen. "I've been very pleased with the two freshmen running backs (Shaun) Wick and (D.J.) May. They'll both play this year. They've proven that they're ready to play for us, and it's going to take two or three running backs to make this offense run effectively. We're going to play those individuals in our program who can help us win no matter what their class."
Christensen announced on Thursday that sophomore running back Kody Sutton has decided to leave the program for personal reasons.
While Sutton is leaving the program the Cowboy special teams received a lift on Thursday with the return of sophomore place-kicker Daniel Sullivan. Earlier in fall camp, it was thought that Sullivan, who has been dealing with a medical issue, would likely redshirt this season. But his health has improved, and he was cleared by doctors to begin practicing again. Sullivan was on the practice field for the first time on Thursday participating in kicking drills. If his health continues to improve, he may be available for the Cowboys this season.
Christensen was pleased with a number of areas of his team's development in the first scrimmage, but he is looking forward to seeing sharper and improved play this week after a good week of practice.
"I thought there were positive things that happened on both sides of the ball in last Saturday's scrimmage," said Christensen. "Obviously, there were numerous corrections that needed to be made this week after watching the tape of the scrimmage, and I think we've done that this week. We've practiced at a much higher level this week. I was disappointed last week in our penalties. I thought we had way too many penalties. I have been pleased with the physicalness of where we've been as a football team all fall."
After being held out of contact drills during last spring practice, sophomore QB Smith has been impressive throughout fall camp.
"Brett (Smith) of course missed all the contact part of spring practice, but he's had time to get plenty of reps this fall," added Christensen. "He's taken all the reps with the No. 1 offense. He's throwing the ball very well, and he's back to 100 percent."
One of the leading performers for the defense in the first scrimmage was redshirt freshman linebacker Zack Berg, who had two interceptions last Saturday. Other defenders who've impressed Christensen during fall camp are senior defensive linemen Kurt Taufa'asau and Mike Purcell, senior linebacker Korey Jones and senior defensive backs Luke Ruff and Luke Anderson.
"Zack (Berg) showed throughout spring ball and again this fall that he has a talent for coming up with turnovers," commented Christensen. "He's been picking things up well, and we look for him to continue to get better with each additional practice.
"From a defensive standpoint, we're looking to be a little more stout against some two-back schemes of our opponents. I think our defensive line has been playing well. Our linebackers are coming along, and I feel good about our secondary. The key for us is we have to stay healthy.
"Kurt Taufa'asau has had a phenomenal camp. He and Mike Purcell I think will be as good as any two interior defensive linemen in the conference this year.
"Korey (Jones) played really well the other day. He's having a nice camp, and is doing a really good job at linebacker.
"In the secondary, Luke Ruff continues to do a good job back there, and Luke Anderson is having a nice camp. He (Anderson) has really improved from the spring. He gives us great speed in the secondary, so if he does the right things and does it within the scheme of things he can be an impact player for us."
This coming Saturday's scrimmage will once again be a situational scrimmage with the No. 1 offensive unit facing the No. 2 defensive unit and the No. 2 offense against the No. 1 defense.
Following the scrimmage between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., fans are invited to attend the "2012 Cowboy Car Roundup" in the War Memorial Stadium parking lot. Y95 Country radio in Laramie will be offering Wyoming Cowboy Football fans an opportunity to purchase season tickets for only $95 per ticket, which is a savings of $100 off the regular season-ticket price.
UW Athletics Ticket representatives will be located next to the Y95 Country booth on Saturday to sell $95 season tickets. The tickets for this special promotion will be located in Section 21 of War Memorial Stadium.
A season ticket provides fans a seat to all six Wyoming home games in 2012, including games versus: Air Force, Boise State, Colorado State, San Diego State, Toledo and Cal Poly.
While purchasing a $95 ticket, fans may also enjoy a free lunch sponsored by Laramie GM Auto Center, Laramie Ford, Ken's Toyota and McCarty Motors.
Because of the "Cowboy Car Roundup", the War Memorial Stadium parking lot will be closed to parking on Saturday. Parking will be available in other lots surrounding War Memorial Stadium on Saturday at no cost.

Michelle Knight "fell through some...crack in the system"
(Cleveland) - As Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus begin to heal surrounded by their families, is tird victim Michelle Knight alone at MetroHealth Medical Center?
Judy Martin of Survivors and Victims of Tragedy hopes not. Martin says Knight "fell through some big, huge crack in whatever the system was 12 years ago."
Martin and others are taking part (took part) in a balloon release at 6:00 PM Thursday to show Michelle that they are think of her and are there if she needs them.
When Knight disappeared 11 years ago, her mother Barbara thought maybe she just didn't want to see her family anymore. As of Wednesday, Barbara Knight said she hadn't spoken to her daughter yet, but she hopes she knows she loves her.
Martin says if her group had know about Michelle, her face would be as well known as Amanda and Gina's. Instead, Michelle may have seen all the rallies and think she'd been forgotten.
Martin hopes that Michelle Knight hears about Survivors and Victims of Tragedy and reaches out. She says they're ready to offer comfort and love.
"Most of us are just regular people who will do what we can," says Martin.

LONG BEACH - The Port of Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners on Monday asked that port staff return with a report on the process for selecting a new permanent headquarters sometime in January.
The report may address potential locations downtown and guidelines and priorities for what the new home of the port's roughly 350 administrative employees would look like and where it should be located. The board also reinforced its desire for a transparent and inclusive process.
Costly earthquake retrofitting requirements and asbestos and lead-based paint issues have led port officials to make plans to move the staff out of the 53-year-old building at
925 Harbor Plaza in the port complex.
For now, the port staff is expected to move temporarily to 4801 Airport Plaza Drive, the former Boeing Co. building near the Long Beach Airport. That decision is expected to first go before the City Council on Dec. 11 because the port's budget would have to be changed to allocate the money.
The deal would likely close Dec. 27 and port staff would move about six months later, port officials said.
Port officials have been in a two-year battle over the new headquarters after Mayor Bob Foster vetoed an initial plan to build an expansive new building at the port.

The Washington Post sinks lower
Currently featured on the front page of the Washington Post's web site:
Richard Cohen's frightened plea [1] for more torture and fewer civil liberties
Dana Milbank's inane column [2] about the purported sexiness of the Budget Director
Ramesh Ponnuru's unsubstantiated claim [3] that President Obama "arguably implied" that voters are "stupid."
An "On Faith" guest post by the American Life League's communications director, who describes feminists as "pro-abortion [4]."
Howard Kurtz's daily exploration [5] of the love lives of the powerful and famous.
And that's just what's linked on the front page -- it doesn't include sports columnist Sally Jenkins' reference to "pro-abortion" feminists [6], who she mocks as "the 'Dwindling Organizations of Ladies in Lockstep,' otherwise known as DOLL" while criticizing "the group-think, elitism and condescension of the 'National Organization of Fewer and Fewer Women All The Time'" and "'The National Organization for Women Who Only Think Like Us.'" Jenkins concludes with a transparently silly attack on those who criticize CBS's decision to run an anti-choice Super Bowl ad while rejecting an ad for a gay dating service: "CBS owns its broadcast and can run whatever advertising it wants." Yeah ... So? That does not immunize them from criticism for the decisions they make.
I'm really starting to worry there's something in the water over at the Washington Post bulding.

WATCH: Gaslight Anthem Unveils New 'Get Hurt' Video
Listen to The Gaslight Anthem Radio on iHeartRadio
The guys in the Gaslight Anthem run into a different type of bar crowd in their new video for "Get Hurt."
The clip features the New Jersey rockers performing the new single in a dimly lit establishment for some rather sleepy looking patrons. But when the chorus hits, everyone in the crowd starts breaking out some interpretive dance moves that suggest they're dealing with some hurt of their own.
"Get Hurt" is the second single and title track from the Gaslight Anthem's upcoming fifth studio album, which is due out August 12th.
The band says "Get Hurt" will have a "completely different vibe" compared to their previous albums. Frontman Brian Fallon says part of that new vibe comes from working with Mike Crossey, who produced the debut album from British indie rockers The 1975. Fallon says they thought the band sounded different, and they wondered what kind of sound they'd get if they worked with the same guy.
Check out their "Get Hurt" music video below!

#1: Best Leave-in or Deep Conditioner recommendations?
I'm looking for a new conditioner (I was using one of The Body Shop's Rainforest line conditioners and it's running out), either a leave-in or a deep conditioner or even a conditioner I could double as a daily and a deep conditioner. I have healthy, 3A curls but would like extra conditioning...what are the best ones you would recommend?

Children, Family and Marriage - A Strong Cord.
Hello Everyone!
My name is Julie and I am so thankful that I found a place to help with Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond. I am a wife of 31 years, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother! I am 65 years young, full of life and love helping others based on the paths, journeys and roads in my own life that I have traveled on. I realize that every person, every family, and every marriage deals with some hard issues that can sometimes cause great perplexity and stress as did mine at times.
Don't get the idea for one minute that I am a guru and full of all the right answers to some very tough problems! I am not the know all of anything, but I have had a wonderfully adventurous lifetime, thus far, and I have helped others with encouragement, ideas and a whole lot of truth! Making a difference in small areas is just as important as doing something really big. So, talk to me, and if anything, if I don't have an answer for you, you will get a lot of encouragement!
Questions Like:
1. Are you prepared for marriage?
2. Can two people disagree and still walk as one?
3. How much influence does a parent really have on a child?
4. Have you been hugged by a robot lately?
5. How much effort is required to keep a marital relationship strong and healthy?

Woman involved in heated RTA fight sentenced to jail
(Shaker Heights) – The woman embroiled in an RTA bus scuffle will spend some time cooling her heels.
Shidea Lane was sentenced Tuesday morning in Shaker Heights Municipal Court to three days in jail and was fined $250.
The court tells WTAM 1100 that Lane must also complete an anger management program.
Cell phone video captured Lane arguing with RTA bus driver Aris Hughes last September 18 before he delivered an uppercut punch to her face. Lane was found guilty of her role in June.
Hughes was previously sentenced to three day, $1,000 fine and anger management.
Hughes was also fired by RTA when the video went viral.

Hello guys!!!
anybody can explain me how to connect to meterpreter service???
I install a meterpreter service with phreedom.org/software/metsvc/]Meterpreter service but i don't know how i can connect!!
Thanks, and sorry for my bad english!
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
I tried to connect with payload of meterpreter service windows/metsvc_bind_tcp and the exploit multi-handler, but not works!!! And the meterpreter service is installed fine and works!!! The firewall is disabled and the machine hasn't an antivirus (it's a XP SP2 on VMware).
Sorry for the questions, but i search in the forum and google and nothing!!
ugh like was said you need to do more research
but load up msfconsole choose multihandler, set the rhost and rport and then exploit / run
besides why not just use a reverse bind in the first place ??
Using backtrack for the first time is like being 10 years old again with the keys to a Ferrari.
The fifth result of a Google search for "conect meterpreter session" is linked below.
(Notice that I spelled my search query wrong and still managed to find something relevant on my first try)
The way I waste my days: Bypassing firewalls with port forwarding - part 1
The example uses a reverse handler as suggested by vvpalin, but its easy to adapt it to a forward connection if you so desire.
Capitalisation is important. It's the difference between "Helping your brother Jack off a horse" and "Helping your brother jack off a horse".

Revision as of 12:57, 24 August 2011
| Some of the information on this page might not be accurate.
Please help by correcting the information, finding sources to prove the information, or discussing the issues on the talk page.
Weapons in GTA San Andreas are a principal aspect of the game. Some weapons have returned from previous games, while others are additions available only in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (and later Grand Theft Auto IV). A particularly useful addition is the silenced pistol, which is perfect for stealth maneuvering (another new feature), as it attracts less attention. There are also two key improvements in weapon handling, as compared to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City: smart aiming(?) and dual-weapon wielding.
Smart Aim
Smart aim(?) involves computer-assisted auto-aiming, which occurs when pedestrian targets are within the weapon's range. The range is determined by the type of weapon and the player's proficiency with that weapon (Weapon Skill stat). Smart aiming is an improvement upon the auto-aim available in previous games where the computer will cycle between auto-aim and manual aim, depending upon the proximity of possible targets.(?) Furthermore, when multiple targets are within range, smart aim selects the closest target first. Another key feature of smart aim is the targeting lock that changes color as the target's health decreases. Green progresses to orange, which progresses to red, and finally black upon the target's death. The smart aim feature is available on every weapon except the Rifle, the Sniper Rifle, projectiles, or any of the heavy weapons. The Smart Aim also seems to bear a strong resemblance to the execution system in Rockstar's Manhunt where the darker the color or the target,the more gruesome the execution while in San Andreas the darker the color of the target,the less health of the target.
The second new feature is the ability to duel-wield several weapons (Pistol, Tec9, Micro uzi, Sawnoff shotguns) after reaching hitman weapon skill level. These weapons are light enough and feature reloading that is compatible with holding one in each hand. This allows the player to inflict twice the amount of damage per reload cycle.
Here is a list of the available weapon slots, and the weapons that can be used in those slots. Weapons in italics can be dual-wielded.
- Slot 1: Hand
- Slot 2: Melee Weapons
- Slot 3: Handguns
- Slot 4: Shotguns
- Slot 5: Sub-Machine Guns
- Slot 6: Assault Rifles
- Slot 7: Rifles
- Slot 8: Heavy Weapons
- Slot 9: Explosives
- Slot 10: Handheld Items
- Slot 11: Gifts
- Slot 12: Special Items
- Slot 13: Others
- The Tec-9 and the Minigun are the only weapons which, when fired, do not move CJ's body, unlike most weapons.
- Oddly enough, melee weapons such as the chainsaw can be used to amass large sums of money in short periods of time if the player correctly utilises the weapon with no law enforcement in their vicinity. Much like the bat in GTA III where the play can kill literally thousands of citizens with no wanted level if planned correctly.

Quote:am I? I think I asked sometime before if there were software that models body dynamics.but similar subjects you bring up have been talked about before. I think last summer, when we had discussions about how many psi of pressure would it take to break a rib or something.we came up with you have to punch hard enough to break about 4 x 1/2" pine boards to equal breaking a rib. thats a fair enough test without having to actually break someone's rib.you could do the same type of test for an elbow break. Find out what diameter dowel is equivalent strength as an elbow. wrap it in padding to simulate flesh and to protect your arm, and attempt to snap it with an elbow break. I haven't tried this, but it would be a good enough test for me.After you know that, next time you are doing bunkai with a partner, be aware of what force would be needed if it were real.other than that, it's just faith....and hopefully, you'll never have to actually test it.btw, medical sources have maximum stress measurements of human bones and joints.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by Joe Realist, Dec 7, 2012.
27-24 Bengals.
My heart says 31-24 Cowboys,
My head says 38-10 Cincinnati as the injuries finally catch up.
I'm going Seattle all over again. -3 turnover ratio for the boys.
Cincy 31
Cowboys 17
38-35 Bengals. The Dez dominance will continue for the rest of the season and he/Witten will open enough run lanes for Murray, but this defense has been horrific the last two games and I think it will continue through the end of the year.
The way our luck goes Terence Newman will look like Dieon Sanders and Pac Man will look like Revis. We lose when their field goal kicker kicks a 64 yarder with no time remaining.......
Dallas 19
Cincy 27
27-21 Cowboys.
Cowboys 30, Bengals 27.
Not that Cincy is a great team but i think they are a bad matchup for us right now so i could see this one getting out of hand in their favor. But things dont always happen as the numbers/matchups may suggest, so i'll say Cowboys win a squeaker 24-20.
Cincinnati 31, Dallas 17.
27-13 Cincy
Cowboys smack'em silly 31-6
Cincy = 27
Boys = 14
Bengals 24-20.
60-6 Tigers
I think we'll play well for part of the game. 30-20 Bengals...
I think the following is inevitable:
1. Benjarvisgreenellis gets his.
2. Pacman may even get his
3. Dalton gets his
I think the following is possible:
1. Romo does his thing
2. Des gets his
3. Defense finally closes out the game
31-28 Dallas
Bailey wins it
Cowboys win by a FG, 31-28.
Romo will not be denied. Cowboys 34-31

An A-10 Thunderbolt military aircraft experiencing engine difficulties made an emergency landing late Wednesday morning at the Carbon County Airport.
Hill Air Force Base Tech Sgt. Gerren Douglas said the single-seat, twin-engine, straight-wing jet aircraft, stationed at Moody Air Force Base in Georgia, was en route to HAFB from Arizona's Davis-Monthan AFB when the pilot reported one of his two engines had failed.
The aircraft landed at the rural air strip in the central Utah town of Price without incident or injury to the male pilot.
Douglas said Air Force maintenance and security personnel were en route to Price from Davis-Monthan and Moody.
Price firefighters and police, along with Carbon County sheriff deputies, responded to the scene initially.
The venerable A-10, more commonly known as the "Warthog" for its heavily-armored, ugly and yet effective design, was developed in the early 1970s, toward the end of the Vietnam War.
The plane, armed with a 30mm rotary cannon, is designed to provide close air support for ground forces, especially in attacking tanks and other armored vehicles and missile batteries. It has seen action in Desert Storm and more recently in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Michelle Obama Reveals Her Prom Photo (and Scandalous Dress) on 'Ellen!'
It's almost prom time! Do you remember your dress? Michelle Obama and Ellen DeGeneres sure do!
-Lucia Peters
Ah, prom! That magical time of year where all of your teenage dreams come true! Or not, depending on how you remember your prom experience; but either way, prom is a notable event in any teen's life, a "rite of passage," if you will.
And of course, along with the whole prom thing comes prom photos! I'm sure most of you still have your prom photos buried in a shoebox somewhere—and hey, guess what? So does Michelle Obama!
On Monday, the First Lady sat down to chat with Ellen DeGeneres on The Ellen Show via satellite from a military base in Jacksonville, Florida. Michelle was visiting the base to speak to the children of military families—some of whom also had the good fortune to join in during Ellen and Michelle's chat. Naturally, all of the young women of the base are greatly looking forward to their own impending prom, so to get in the spirit of it, Ellen brought a couple of prom memories out from the vaults. First, the funnylady pulled out her prom photo, and it's… pretty memorable. Want to see?:
Read Up Close and Personal: Angelina Jolie's Gorgeous Engagement Ring
Have you ever seen a plaid prom dress before? I hadn't. But I have now. And all I can say is, once seen, it cannot be unseen. Ellen was born in 1958, so this pic was probably taken circa 1975 or 1976—a time at which, Ellen quipped, it was common practice to turn tablecloths into prom dresses. Crazy!
Then, of course, came the First Lady's prom picture, which you KNOW you're just dying to see—so take a look!:
Is that an entire dress made of gold lamé? It just might be. It WAS the '80s, after all—Michelle was born in 1964, so this photo is probably from 1981 or 1982. Also, that's an awfully high slit, is it not? It looks like the First Lady was quite the vixen in her teen years!
Ellen also had a pretty amazing gift for the military teens to help make their prom the best prom ever; watch the whole chat here to see what it was!
Don't you just love Ellen?

I just had a guest check in who is here for an off-property convention (they are just sleeping here; all the events are some place else) who had a meltdown because I don't know anything about the various seminars. Yes, well, I'm not the one who never bothered to look at the convention sheets/booklet they were sent. I can tell you the convention proper is off-property. That's all I know. There's no reason I should know any more than that.
I had someone call up and ask for an instruction sheet for a competitor's widget.When I explained we only had instruction sheets for *our* widgets, and they should, perhaps, contact the competitor for their sheet, they got very annoyed, and kept repeating, "I don't understand! They're WIDGETS, and you're a widget-seller! Why don't you have instructions for all of them?"
It was partially a problem of signage but we still wondered why they so readily accepted that the main library of a huge borough would be located on the second floor of a museum.
The library in which I worked was a high-level art reference library. It was very specialized. Still, several times a month, we would have people drop in to pick up a book of American short stories or the like.It was a mystery but we finally figured it out. Signs in the Subway station directly in front of the museum stated that it was the stop for the Museum, the Botanic Garden and the main repository of the Brooklyn Public Library. The first thing a person coming out of the station saw was the museum. There were also usually museum employees outside having a smoke break. It was natural for them to ask people wearing ID tags where the library was?It was also natural for the employees to direct these people to our Art Reference Library. Of course, we were not the place that could provide a biography of George Washington. The library they wanted was a long block down the street. It was partially a problem of signage but we still wondered why they so readily accepted that the main library of a huge borough would be located on the second floor of a museum.

BELL –Wayne Weatherford could almost sense it coming.
Having graduated a lot of the big guns off of last year's State Final Four team, Weatherford knew there would be some rough spots for this year's squad to navigate.
Some of them surfaced in last Thursday's season opener at Bell High.
Errors, both mental and physical, were a common occurance as the Chiefland High girls softball team fell, 6-0, to the Lady Bulldogs.

text: " 'Thunder Perfect Mind' is a marvelous, strange poem. It speaks in the voice of a feminine divine power, but one that unites all opposites. One that is not only speaking in women, but also in all people. One that speaks not only in citizens, but aliens, it says, in the poor and in the rich. It's a poem which sees the radiance of the divine in all aspects of human life, from the sordidness of the slums of Cairo or Alexandria, as they would have been, to the people of great wealth, from men to women to slaves. In that poem, the divine appears in every, and the most unexpected, forms…. [Read more…]

Since the death of ibn Saud in 1953, succession has moved only among his sons.
The House of Saud built its Arabian empire on the basis of ruthless holy warfare—and on being very nice to those who surrendered.
For the House of Saud, the winter of Arab discontent has been unsettling so far as friends fall in waves.
Fahd recognized only too well the essential contradictions in the relationship between the Land of the Free and the House of Saud.
The answer I have come to is survival—survival of the state and survival of the House of Saud.
To be sure, softer words along similar lines had come privately from Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal.
In On Saudi Arabia, journalist Karen Elliott House describes the odd silence that seems to surround the House of Saud.
To complicate matters, the House of Saud is in the midst of change itself.
Having consolidated the Nejd, Saud was now ready to undertake the greater task of subduing and purifying the Moslem world.
When he died in 1787 his disciple, Saud, proved a worthy successor.

"There's no real need for markets to change their outlook."
Positive performances on European markets kept the local market in positive territory for most of the day.

I am having the same issue, my USB 2.0 Wifi device does not work on my USB 3.0 port, tried with BT5r3 and r2.
The device does work on a different pc that has USB 2.0 ports.
Where you able find a solution? my laptop does not have a single USB 2.0 port.
I readed somewhere that a workaround would be to start your workstation with the USB 2.0 device plugged in to the USB 3.0 port but this hasnt worked for me.
