An interesting surprise!
By Ellie
from Cleveland, Ohio
Definitely "a conversation piece!" Sophisticated appearance; looks more costly than it is. Everyone wants to know what kind of bracelet it is and are very surprised that it's actually a LED watch - which makes it even more interesting.I gave it as a gift; and the recipient loves it (even though he also has a Rolex).
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Had to return watch
By Disappointed customer
from Phoenix, Arizona
I ordered the black watch for my husband. He wore it a couple of times to work (desk work) and the black coloring came off the clasp of the watch. Beautiful watch otherwise. We are returning it to get the brushed nickel colored watch.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Its cool but definitely not worth it
By John Watchman
from Florida
It is a cool watch but it fades to a really ugly black if not kept well, and clean properly. Also there is not that much functionality with this watch. All it really has that is usable is the time and the date. Also it can be a pain to setup because you have to keep holding the LED button.

By Cruise Mom

My boys both collect watches and were incredibly impressed with the watch. The plus is that no one else in their group has ever seen one before

Way too large
By JmL
from New Jersey
The watch could easily fit around my ankle. It is way too big for my wrist. I am returning it.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your comment. A professional jeweler or watch shop could remove links to make this watch fit your wrist size. However, if you'd prefer to return this item instead—simply call our customer service team at 1-800-321-1484 any time day or night.
pretty cool watch
By Scott
from Chicago, IL
It's a nice looking watch, but only when you buy it do they tell you that you'll have to adjust the time every week. Nice for occasional wear, but not a good every day watch.

Band Adjustemnt???
By John

No Band Adjustment. No instrustions or ability to adjust the band. If you have a huge wrist, it may fit. A normal wrist is too small for the band
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your comment. To add or remove links, please take the watch to a professional jeweler or watch expert.

By Frazier Moore Associated Press
NEW YORK — Jillian Michaels orders two eggs over easy with a smidgeon of oil and two slices of dry toast.
And coffee.
Coffee?! "Two strong cups, 400 milligrams, fights pancreatic cancer," she said, "plus Alzheimer's, Type 2 diabetes and improves cognitive functions."
Not that Michaels is a health-nut goodie-goodie.
"I still drink a little bit of alcohol," she said. "And I haven't been to the gym in five days!"
No wonder. There's this grueling book tour on top of an always-heavy workload, plus the routine demands of parenting a 3-year-old daughter and an 11-month-old son who, along with her partner, Heidi Rhoades, have come with her on this recent New York visit.
But all is never lost, Michaels said, in the battle to lose weight and be healthy. "Even if you're just standing while you're talking on the phone," she said, "you can burn up to 300 calories in a day."
That's the sort of forgiving advice found in her latest book, "Slim for Life: My Insider Secrets to Simple, Fast and Lasting Weight Loss."
"It's my softest approach to weight loss," said Michaels, a wellness coach to whom the word "soft" is seldom applied.
After all, she is famous as the drill-sergeant trainer on NBC's "The Biggest Loser," a 5-foot-2-inch force of nature who doesn't hesitate to throw her tautly muscled weight around.
"I wanted to write a book where you felt like I was sitting right there with you," she said, a vision of reassurance seated across the table, "providing a simple solution for every problem or complaint I've ever heard."
Fitness is too time-consuming, complicated, costly, inconvenient, plus I'm hungry all the time; Michaels has heard every excuse from the audience of her website, weekly podcast and speaking engagements.
"I wanted to integrate the answers and knock down the myths and the fad diets," she said.
"For every possible dieting dilemma that you could ever have, I provide umpteen amount of solutions. Pick one!"
In her book, every strategy comes with a point system scored from 1 (a "bonus" tip) to 3 (most effective and important). Totaling the strategies you're able to adopt can help predict your rate of weight loss, she said.
Michaels also packs the book with simple no-brainers: Eat before you head to the party, .
Nix foods tagged with "danger words" like smothered, loaded, tender, deep-fried and creamy. At the supermarket, avoid the center aisles in favor of the fresh foods perimeter.
Growing up, physical health wasn't something that came easily to Michaels.
Her dad was overweight, she said, "and one of the ways that we spent time together was through food: 'Let's go get a pizza."'
She had an image of herself as "a fat kid, a loser, someone who deserved to get picked on."
But she got hooked on martial arts. In the dojo she was part of a community. She felt supported. She blossomed.
Then came a real turning point: She broke two boards with a sidekick.
"The next day when I walked into the school, no one ever (messed) with me again," she said.
From there a career unfolded for Michaels as a trainer, physical therapy aide, then sports-medicine professional.
A decade ago, she signed on to "The Biggest Loser." There, instantly, she stood out as a taskmaster, even a bully.
As "The Biggest Loser" heads toward its season conclusion (at 8 tonight), Michaels has seen full potential reached by her current charge, Danni.
A 26-year-old advertising account coordinator, Danni has lost 95 pounds under Michaels' dogged coaching and has guaranteed herself a slot as a finalist.

How to Look and Sound Great on Camera
- Tagged in Visual Storytelling
- Leave a Comment
Video content is one of the most powerful drivers of engagement and visibility for press release issuers and content marketers. Messages that include multimedia get favorable treatment from search engines and social networks; and the human eye naturally gravitates toward visuals. Producing video is part of many communication strategies. To develop the best content possible, it's important that the subjects of your video look (and sound) great on camera.
The American Society of Journalists and Authors (ASJA) annual Writers Conference featured more than 80 sessions covering a wide variety of topics, including "How to Look and Sound Great on Camera." While the conference was geared toward writers, the tips work well for anyone in the camera's lens.
Three panelists shared their tips on how you can hone your personal style, develop an appealing speaking voice and craft effective messages.
The panelists were:
- Rachel Weingarten, style expert, marketing strategist, personal branding consultant, and founder of Interrobang, a marketing and promotions agency. Weingarten is the author of "Career and Corporate Cool" and "Hello, Gorgeous," and is a regularly featured expert on TV shows, including "Good Morning America" and the "Today" show.
- Nancy Daniels, founder of Voice Dynamic, offering voice training, voice improvement, and public-speaking solutions through seminars, corporate training and group workshops. Daniels is the creator of the "Voicing it!" DVD training program, which helps clients find their "real" voice and correct problems such as low volume, nasality and childlike tone.
- Brad Phillips, president of Phillips Media Relations, a media presentation firm with offices in Washington, D.C., and New York City. Phillips is a former broadcast journalist and producer, and is the creator of the popular Mr. Media Training blog, offering media and presentation training.
- Eileen Kennedy-Moore (moderator), a psychologist, author, and blogger at PsychologyToday.com, moderated the discussion.
Rachel Weingarten
The average American watches 28 hours of video a week, said Weingarten, or roughly nine years of their lives. In October 2011, more than 184 million people watched 42.6 billion videos on YouTube.
"People really are hungry for videos," said Weingarten, "and especially for good videos."
The first thing people think about when preparing a video is what they should wear, but there is more to looking good than what you're wearing. In fact, the No. 1 key to a good video appearance is that you exude confidence, even if you don't feel it, said Weingarten. How do you do that?
Know your stuff. Do your homework, and prepare as much in advance as you can. Know what the set is like. Do as much research on the host as you can, and make the host the focus of your attention. "If the host loves you, the audience will love you," said Weingarten.
Be put-together. "People make snap decisions," said Weingarten. "You want them to focus on your knowledge, not on what you're wearing. For example, there's a lawyer that loves to wear head-to-toe green suits. People tend to tune out his message because they're so focused on what he's wearing.
Be picky. Research every opportunity, rather than accepting every offer. Weingarten shared the story of how she was offered to be on "The Daily Show," but turned it down because it would not have provided her the kind of exposure she was looking for.
Be comfortable. When deciding what to wear, pick something you're comfortable in so you are not self-conscious. Otherwise, you are going to be too distracted to do a good job.
Nancy Daniels
"The way you sound on your answering machine is the way everyone else hears you," said Daniels. If you don't like what you hear, there are ways you can improve and find your "real" voice:
Record yourself. Practice by recording yourself in a mock interview session with a friend or colleague. This will help you gauge:
- The volume of your voice: "You don't want to speak too softly," said Daniels.
- Your accent: You don't have to get rid of it, but you do have to be understood.
- Whether you speak with "Valley Girl-ese," as Daniels calls it. "If every sentence sounds like it ends in a question, you will not sound confident or professional."
Find the friendly faces. The secret to public speaking, said Daniels, is to treat the audience or interviewer as if you were having a conversation in your living room. Zero in on your "smilers" – they will make you feel more confident.
Learn diaphragmatic breathing. It's OK to be nervous. Learn to breathe with the support of your diaphragm; it will help you take control of your nervousness. Daniels recently wrote about how to control what comes out of your mouth when you're nervous.
Brad Phillips
When speaking to the media, remember that your job is not to be comprehensive – your job is to give the public only enough information to take the action you want them to take. Reduce your points to your three most important messages, and support them with compelling stories and statistics.
People will remember almost nothing you say during media interviews, and one of the ways you can combat that is through repetition. "It takes 7-15 repetitions for people to remember your message," said Phillips.
So what makes a message effective? According to Phillips, an effective message is composed of stories, statistics and sound bites.
Stories: These can be a personal story, an anecdote, a case study or a historical example. It just has to reinforce the theme of your message and make it less abstract and more tangible. You should be able to tell a compelling story in 20 seconds or less.
Statistics: Don't use raw data; use statistics in a way the audience can relate.
Philips gave this example: "Five million Americans have Alzheimer's." That doesn't immediately make you think, "Wow."
Try this instead: "Fenway Park seats 37,000 people. It would take 135 Fenway Parks packed with people to hold every American with Alzheimer's. That's 5 million people in total. Now, think about the family members caring for that patient. It would take almost 600 Fenway Parks, packed with people, to hold all the patients and family members affected by Alzheimer's."
"For most people," said Phillips, "that statistic is more powerful, evoking a specific image and producing that desired 'Wow' response."
Sound bites: Sound bites are short, wonderful quips that are repeatable – e.g., "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit."
Other types of sound bites:
- Simile, metaphor, analogy
- Witty
- Rhetorical questions
- References to pop culture
Once you have your messages, prepare for the interview. Create a worksheet detailing each message, and the story, statistic and sound bite for that message. Repeat for each message.
On his blog, Phillips shares more tips on how to create a message: Creating Your Message: A Seven-Part Series.
Q: When offering statistics, do you need to provide the source?
Phillips: Your goal is to intrigue. In a public presentation, I would stay away from it. Unless it's core to their understanding, I wouldn't focus on it.
Q: Which television personalities should we watch that have a good presence?
Daniels: Diane Sawyer – her voice is like a blanket around your shoulders. Listen for the voice that has warmth, speaks comfortably.
Phillips: Newt Gingrich and Al Sharpton are both very effective in their own way. Also, Tom Friedman – what I like is that he comes in very prepared, with three or four tight bullet points he can deliver in 20 seconds. One thing I don't agree with that he does is saying the name of the host – "Well, Diane…" – because you want the audience to think you're talking to them, and that breaks the connection.
Q: If you make a mistake, should you correct it or let it go?
Phillips: It depends on the nature of the mistake. If it's a mispronunciation, let it go. If it's a significant mistake, correct it.

I love this article because it is amazing the amount of people do not understand the true value of quality video. Video content is widely used on many platforms but the importance always lies on quality and engagement. Thanks to the panelist for sharing their insight and aiding in people becoming more aware.
Reblogged this on Fletcher Prince and commented: I love the takeaways in this post — especially how to put statistics in visual terms and real-life contexts everyone can relate to and the importance of working on voice tone and delivery for impactful video!
Thank you!
good job.

Taylorsville • With only one game on its schedule this week, the Riverton baseball team planned ahead to make sure more than one pitcher got some work Tuesday.
So starter Jared Barton left the mound after three innings of solid work en route to the Silverwolves' 11-2 win over Taylorsville.
Enter senior Tanner Draper, who worked the final four frames, and out came the radar guns. Several scouts were on hand apparently for the express purpose of checking out Draper, who will play at Oregon State next year unless professional baseball beckons.
"It was planned ahead. We were going to have him [Barton] throw three and then have Tanner come in and get some work," Riverton coach Jay Applegate said. "Part of the reason we wanted him to come in this game is that there were people here to see him quite a few people."
Draper, like Barton, did just fine against the host Warriors. He struck out four and allowed only a single run on a Jake Greenberg RBI double in the fourth over his four frames.
As for Barton, his control and effective change of speeds kept the Taylorsville (4-1) bats under wraps.
"For the most part, he did real well," Applegate said. "A couple of times he fell behind hitters, but he was able to refocus and that got us out of some innings."
Riverton (4-0) tied things in an instant after entering the second inning down 1-0. Jared White unloaded for a home run to left on Warriors hurler Zac Stepp's first pitch of the inning. Stepp, who was plagued with control problems after the first inning, gave up another run in the second, then four more in the third.
Riverton's big hit in its four-run third inning came when catcher Joe Barlow drove a double to left-center to drive in two.
A triple by Trevor Peterson to start the fourth, along with a double by Cam Gust, helped give the Silverwolves some insurance.
"We're not very happy about our performance obviously, but they were a lot better team than we were today," Taylorsville coach Jake Brown said. "They outplayed us and outcoached us in just about every aspect. We weren't really ready for it."

Scene Info
Pumping iron makes Connor Kline's dick hard. Tricked out in athletic gear and a jockstrap, the young stud does his curls with his raging hardon standing straight up in the air. Little does he know that his buddy Doug Acre is watching him from the shadows, stroking his own big fat cock. Doug approaches Connor and takes his big meat in his mouth. The muscular jock swallows Connor's cock to the base then kicks back so Connor can worship his monster cock. Connor takes his time licking and sucking Doug's cock until he can't wait any longer; he needs that fat rod up his ass. Connor jumps up and lowers his giant bubble-butt down on Doug's dick. He bounces up and down on his teammate's cock then lies back so Doug can get in there and really pound his hole. Doug fucks a load out of Connor then pulls out and shoots a thick stream of cum straight up into the air.

Canton council considering setting a city minimum wage
(Canton)--A member of Canton city council, and the council's president, are both in favor of proposed legislation that would make Canton the first city in Ohio to establish a minimum wage higher than the state and federal levels.
The legislation proposed by Canton councilman John Mariol, has picked up the support of council president Allen Schulman, because of news stories about a Walmart store in Canton that has set up a Thanksgiving donation basket in which Walmart employees can leave food donations for other fellow employees. Schulman announced his support for the legislation at Monday night's Canton council meeting.
Mariol's proposed legislation would target large employers such as Walmart, and would not affect small mom and pop stores. Schulman says Walmart, specifically, is setting a terrible example by having the Thanksgiving collection, which he calls "an abomination."
The Canton city law department is looking into whether Canton can set its own minimum wage, higher than the current Ohio level of $7.85 per hour. Schulman tells WTAM 1100 that if the law department says the legislation can be introduced, it will be a good debate, including business owners, employees and unions.
A Walmart spokesman is quoted by The Plain Dealer as saying the Thanksgiving donations were the individual store's idea, and that they are part of a corporate culture to rally around associates and take care of them.

Aging changes in the female reproductive system
Aging changes in the female reproductive system result mainlychanging hormone levels. One clear sign of aging occurs when your menstrual periods stop permanently. This is known as menopause.
The time before menopause is perimenopause. It may begin several years before the last menstrual period.Signs of perimenopause include first more frequent and then occasional missed periods, periods that last longer or shorter,and changes in the amount of menstrual flow.Eventually the periods will become much less frequent, until they stop completely.
Along with changes in your periods, physical changes in your reproductive tract occur as well.
Aging Changes and Their Effects
Menopause is a normal part of a woman's aging process. Most women experience menopause around age 50, though it can occur before then. The usual agerange is 45-55.
With menopause:
- The ovaries stop making the hormones estrogen and progesterone.
- The ovaries also stop releasing eggs (ova). After menopause, you can no longer become pregnant.
- Your menstrual periods stop. You know you have gone through menopause after you have had no periods for one year.You should continue to use a birth control method until you have gone a whole year without a period.Any bleeding that you have more than one year after your last period is not normal and should be checked by your health care provider.
As hormone levels fall, other changes occur in the reproductive system, including:
- Vaginal walls become thinner, dryer, less elastic, and may become irritated (atrophic vaginitis). Sometimes sex becomes painful due to these vaginal changes.
- Higher risk of vaginal yeast infections.
- External genital tissue decreases and thins (atrophy of the labia), and can become irritated (pruritus vulvae).
Other common changes include:
- Menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, moodiness, headaches, and trouble sleeping
- Problems with short term memory
- Breast tissue may decrease
- Sex drive (libido) and sexual response may diminish
- High risk of bone loss (osteoporosis)
- Urinary system changes such as frequency and urgency of urination and increased risk of urinary tract infection
- Pubic muscles can lose tone resulting in the vagina, uterus, or urinary bladder falling out of position (prolapse)
Managing Changes
Hormone therapy in the form of estrogen or progesterone alone or in combination may help menopause symptoms such as hot flashes or vaginal dryness and pain with intercourse. Hormone therapy has risks, so it is not for every woman. Discuss the risks and benefits of hormone therapy with your health care provider.
To help manage problems such as painful sexual intercourse, using a lubricant during sexual intercourse may help. Vaginal moisturizers are available without a prescription. These can help with vulvar discomfort due to the drying and thinning of the tissues.Topical estrogen applied inside the vagina may help maintain the structure of the vaginal tissues bythickening the tissues and increasing moisture, andsensitivity. Your health care provider can tell you ifany of these measuresis right for you.
Getting regular exercise, eating healthy foods, and staying involved in activities and with friends and loved ones can help the aging process go more smoothly.

By Vincent Bonsignore
Staff Writer
On the surface, the 10 field goals Kobe Bryant attempted Friday against Utah represented a major change for the Lakers superstar. After all, he's averaging 21 shots per game this year and is one of the great shooters in NBA history.
In fact, some would argue Bryant sacrificed his offense for the better of the team, the Lakers convincingly beating the Jazz 102-84 behind a balanced attack in which five players scored in double figures and Bryant dished out a season-high 14 assists.
His teammates and coaches would counter that playing the right way - unselfishly, thoughtfully and with the good of the team in mind - isn't a sacrifice at all.
It's just the right way to play.
"You have to play for each other," Lakers center Dwight Howard pointed out Saturday after practice.
For the Lakers to turn their season around, it must continue.
That isn't to single out Bryant, necessarily. But by him sharing the ball like he did against the Jazz, Pau Gasol accepting his role off the bench and Howard understanding his touches will come if he adheres to the offensive principles, the Lakers can build on their impressive win Friday.
If they can take that mindset into today's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder and beyond, the Lakers give themselves a reasonable chance to climb out of the hole they've dug for themselves.
But it will take nothing less than that same exact focus and approach, especially against an opponent as talented as the Thunder.
"I'm sure everybody on this team wants to be the guy," Howard said. "But we have to figure out a way to do it together."
While that doesn't completely fall on Bryant, he is in position to set an unselfish tone considering his stature on the team and how much the offense runs through him.
If Bryant is looking to get his teammates involved, not just in select moments but consistently over 48 minutes, the Lakers become an extremely difficult team to defend considering the weapons they have in Howard, Steve Nash, Metta World Peace and Gasol.
With Bryant drawing so much defensive attention, it stands to reason other players are open. It's on him to take advantage, and when he does - as he did Friday - the results are obvious.
"When (Bryant) gets everyone involved early, throughout the game, it just makes it tough for teams to guard us," Howard said.
The Lakers' performance Friday is exactly what coach Mike D'Antoni envisioned when he took over for Mike Brown two weeks into the season - albeit one he's had trouble creating because of injuries and trying to implement a completely new system with players who barely know each other.
But with Bryant being a playmaker and getting everyone involved early and often and the Lakers getting balanced scoring throughout, it finally came together.
The key now is sustaining it. With the Thunder in town today, the Lakers' willingness and ability to carry out the same plan will be an intriguing subplot to an important game.
"We're trying to get there," D'Antoni said. "I thought we played well, especially offensively. Everything came easy and a lot of assists. We made things easy."
But will they keep it up against the Thunder?
"I think that's the way you have to play against Oklahoma City," D'Antoni said. "But I think we can. I think obviously guys have to step up and play well. They have to hit shots. If we do that, we'll have a good shot at winning."
Blueprint created
Blake closing in
Steve Blake took part in an extensive game of four-on-four at the end of practice Saturday, another sign he is inching closer to returning to action after sitting out more than a month with an abdominal injury.
Blake will not play today against the Thunder, but D'Antoni is hopeful he'll have his backup point guard back sooner rather than later - with Tuesday against New Orleans not out of the realm of possibility.
"I think he's got a shot, but that's just me talking and I'll probably get chastised for it," D'Antoni said.
The important thing is Blake is getting close to playing again.
"He's gonna play pretty soon, and I'm not sure when that is, but he's working his way back," D'Antoni said. "We'll see how it goes, but every day is a test for him and (if he) keeps passing those barriers, he'll get back on the court."

I discuss online resources for job searches, review the client's resume and cover letter or assist the client in creating each of them. During the course of counseling, we will rehearse the interview process. I will also suggest relevant reading and provide articles.

Willie Nelson Happy To Bring Farm Aid To North Carolina
Listen to Willie Nelson Radio on iHeartRadio
Willie Nelson says Raleigh is a good location for Farm Aid. The country legend and event co-founder explains that family farmers in North Carolina and throughout the Southeastern U.S. have "struggled to stay on the land," but they've also "pioneered new roads to economic sustainability." He adds that those who live in the region know "the value" of the farmers, and they offer "increasing opportunities for new farmers."
Nelson is once again leading the lineup for the Farm Aid concert, along with fellow Farm Aid co-founders Neil Young and John Mellencamp. Longtime supporter Dave Matthews is also on the bill, along with Jamey Johnson, Carlene Carter, Jack White, and others.
Farm Aid 2014 is set for the Walnut Creek Amphitheater in Raleigh on September 13th. Tickets go on sale Friday.
Through the annual Farm Aid concerts, the organization raises awareness and money to assist family farmers. Since its start in 1985, the charity has brought more than $45 million to fund programs that support family-run farms and promote the food they grow.

Rakshasa wrote:Founder of Advaita (Shankara) was criticized by fellow Brahmins as being a Crypto-Buddhist. Although he did not acknowledge the plagiarism from Buddhism, his grandteacher Gaudapada admits that he is greatly influenced by Buddhism, especially Madhyamika of Nagarjuna. So no wonder both "appear" to be same. Besides, Advaita doesn't really have any "practice" as such. The Shankaracharya lineages of current times are only into rituals, worship, etc.
Advaita = Buddhism + Caste system + "Vedas infallibility".
Thanks for the fresh air. I read Gaudapada's karikas a few years ago; they are interesting and helpful in getting a clearer insight into N's karikas. And yes, I can see a lot of Buddhism in Vedanta. Thanks to Dr. Hajime Nakmur's great two volume set, A History of Early Vedanta Philosophy, we can see how Mahayana became the sun of reason for so many Indians like Gaudapada. Switching gears a little, Buddhists were not concerned that much with Vedanta. They were more concerned with the "outer path-farers" (tirthika) specifically, Sâmkhya and the Vaisesika, according to Dr. Nakamura.

The public will get a rare chance to see dinosaur bones, fossils and other items long-stored in an old and rarely visited storage area when the Utah Field House of Natural History State Park Museum holds a free open house April 12 in Vernal.
The Field House of Natural History was created in the 1940s by Uinta Basin residents in an effort to keep the area's ancient treasures from leaving the state. The collection, including about 30,000 fossils, proved too large for a museum and even too large for the new museum that opened in 2004.
Last year money was found to create a new storage facility adjacent to the museum, and the public will get a chance to tour the new building from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission to the museum will be free all day.
A ribbon cutting will take place at 10 a.m. Interpretive tours of the curatorial building will also start at 10 a.m. Utah State paleontologist Jim Kirkland will speak at 11 a.m.
The 11,500-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility was funded largely by $1.5 million from the Uintah Impact Mitigation Special Service District. Money came from mineral lease fees dedicated to funding industry mitigation projects.
Field House State Park Manager Steve Sroka confirmed at the ground-breaking in 2012 that many of the fossils already on display and in storage were found during oil and gas extraction.
He noted the 30,000 items in storage at the old building will fill only about 10 percent of the addition.
Twitter: @BrettPrettyman
Utah Field House of Natural History State Park Museum
P The museum is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday. It is located in the middle of Vernal at 496 E. Main St. Admission is $6 for adults, $3 for children and Utah seniors, and free for children 5 and younger. For more information, go to www.stateparks.utah.gov/parks/field-house.

Carrie Underwood takes top honors at CMT Music Awards
Carrie Underwood isn't leaving the CMT Music Awards with the most trophies. But she's walking away with the night's biggest prize -- Video of the Year -- for the clip to her hit "See You Again." And she gave the credit to the fans.
Luke Bryan and Florida Georgia Line collected the most awards at the event, each earning two buckles including a shared nod for Collaborative Video of the Year. Top nominee Miranda Lambert is among the winners as well, along with Blake Shelton, The Band Perry, and Cassadee Pope. And Alan Jackson is the first-ever CMT Impact Award recipient. His honor included a musical salute from Lee Ann Womack and Kacey Musgraves.
The star-packed event also featured many other performances and collaborations. Bryan and Florida Georgia Line helped open the ceremony, literally leaping onto the stage with Jason Derulo to join ZZ Top for a three-song pile-up of "La Grange," "This Is How We Roll," and "Talk Dirty."
Little Big Town also gave an explosive -- and colorful -- debut of their new single, "Day Drinking." Other highlights included Keith Urban's stripped-down solo rendition of "Cop Car," Eric Church rocking out with Halestorm's Lzzy Hale, and Jennifer Nettles and John Legend duet on "All Of Me," featuring Hunter Hayes on guitar.

Actress Kristen Bell added some humor to the mix as the event's host. The 2014 CMT Music Awards aired on CMT from Nashville Wednesday night.

Is there anyone out there who miscarried naturally (decided NOT to get a D&C) after the baby stopped growing at 5 weeks? My friend went in for her first OB appt at 8 weeks and they learned there was no heartbeat, but they thought maybe she was just way off in her dates (even though we know she wasn't off on dates based on when she ovulated and got her BFP), but the doc suggested maybe they couldn't SEE the heartbeat yet, so they took her blood a couple times and saw her HcG and progesterone were going down, so they were pretty sure she had miscarried and an ultrasound yesterday (a week after the first one) confirmed the fact the baby had not grown at all and that there was no heartbeat.
The doctor presented both sides of what she can do (naturally or D&C) and seems to be pushing her rather significantly more towards the D&C. My friend actually scheduled one for tomorrow (Friday) but starting today she began bleeding on her own and is passing something heavier than a normal period so far.
My questions are this...
1.) how much longer can she expect to bleed if she opts NOT for the D&C if she just started heavy bleeding today? Is this a few days process, a week process, a few weeks process????
2.) how painful is it to pass the tissue from a 5 week old gestational age pregnancy (3 weeks fetal age)? Is it very painful? How long does the pain last?
Do you have any advice on going ahead with the D&C tomorrow or just waiting out the natural miscarriage?
Thank you SO (significant other) MUCH for your time and advice.

For too long, Creatives have suffered from inefficiency, disorganization, and careers at the mercy of bureaucracy.
Behance aims to organize, connect, and empower creative careers, so the best ideas can see the light of day. Behance's "Action" and "Dot Grid" product lines have become indispensable utilities for Creatives at work.
Back in 2006, when the Behance team was just imagining ways to organize and empower creative people, they knew that they needed to start with themselves. So the very first thing they designed was the Action Pad. Long before the launch of the Behance's network and 99U, Behance began with paper and a mission to empower the creative world.
As Scott Belsky and Matias Corea from Behance tell the story, "Brainstorming from our apartments during the hours outside our day jobs, we used our personal Action Pads to capture and complete countless action steps that ultimately pushed Behance from vision to reality.
"In 2007, at the insistence of friends who wanted Action Pads of their own, we expanded the line and made it available online and through select stores like the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco."
Today, as a company working at the forefront of technology and social media, the Behance team - now a part of the Adobe family - still benefits from the tangible nature of Action Method products.
Ghostly and Behance partnered in 2014 to bring Behance's paper product line to more people around the world. The mission to organize and empower creative people is medium agnostic. Ghostly's exclusive selection of Behance's "Action" and "Dot Grid" products are your tools of the trade. We will continue to work together to grow this curated collection of the world's best products for making ideas happen.

thanks !!! now my system isn't freezing anymore when injecting packets.
Is there a way to make this change permanent when booting from USB key ?
Or maybe I should wait for the next beta...
The Asus eeepc 1000HE boots with no errors and KDE loads with the proper resolution. WiFi does not work 'out of the box', but there is a simple fix described below. The brightness function (Fn) keys still work, as do the pgup, pgdwn, home, end, numlock and scrlock keys. None of the silver hotkeys work, and the 1000HE is not supported by any of the current eeepc utilities.
Wifi fix
Download the latest wireless package from linuxwireless.org to your /root directory then extract them with :
Use cd to enter the directory it creates (the directory will be named depending on the date of the download) and run:Code:tar jxvf compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2
This might take a while, depending on your system. Feel free to grab a bagel. I saw some errors relating to the broadcom drivers, but that doesn't affect this model. When it's finished run:Code:make
This should be a bit quicker. Once that's finished you will be prompted to run the unloading tool to get rid of the old modules. Do it.Code:make install
This will clear the way for the new modules. To load them, run:Code:make unload
You should now see a device called wlan0 when you run iwconfig. This has been tested and works with injection and regular managed mode. For those with hard drive installs who don't want to worry about running modprobe every time they boot do:Code:modprobe ath9k
Code:echo ath9k >> /etc/modules
Useful HowTo Threads <-- Why do people think I'm joking when I link this?
thanks !!! now my system isn't freezing anymore when injecting packets.
Is there a way to make this change permanent when booting from USB key ?
Or maybe I should wait for the next beta...
Has anyone replaced the wireless card on the 1000HE?
I need to replace it with one that is compatible with OS X as well. The OS X guide that I read says to swap it out for a BCM94321 card off of ebay but I'm not sure if this card will be any good for injection etc.
Any recommendations on a mini pci-e card known to work for both OSX and play well on Backtrack?
(i'm running BT4beta off SD card btw).
looks awesome, anyone else tried this? I just got shipped my asus1000HE today so I haven't tried this yet.
i concur. update the ath9k drivers and injection works without freezing.
I followed the steps although it would not allow me to make the file due to an older kernel. I am running the BT3 final iso off a thumb drive. I went a few months back to the same result. Any ideas on the latest when I should go back to or just get the new BT4 beta?
i believe ath9k is not supported with the older kernels. so yes, i would suggest using bt4b. i have mine loaded on a 2gig sd card with persistent changes.
Yah yesterday I tried with BT4B on a 2gig flash drive...got the drivers, got the errors with like you said with maybe the broadcom, got some chocolate milk instead of a bagel and worked great.
So i am still freezing during my aireplay commands. when you install the new drivers do you have to reboot to make them work? im doing this on a live usb drive to my 1000he.
Hey guys,
I'm running BT4 on a 4GB SD card. I set it up to save changes using the guides found around, and it works great. The trouble is, I don't know how to get the wireless working. I've tried installing those drivers, but when I do the "make install" it gets stuck on "running athenable ath5k... it keeps saying 'cannot stat /lib/modules/126.96.36.199//lib/modules/184.108.40.206/net/ath_pci.ko'" and I have no idea what to do. I also see people saying something about "running the mon0 interface". I have no idea what is meant by that. Also, on the ath9k project site (hxxp://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k#Enablingath9k) it says to enable the wireless driver by doing this: Enabling ath9k
To enable ath9k, you must first enable mac80211:
Networking --->
Wireless --->
<M> Improved wireless configuration API
<M> Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (mac80211)
You can then enable ath9k in the kernel configuration under
Device Drivers --->[*] Network device support --->
Wireless LAN --->
<M> Atheros 802.11n wireless cards support
I don't know what that means either. As you can probably tell, I am a newb to any kind of linux. My only command line experience is in windows (and that helps me get around a bit in linux, but just a bit). Any explanations will be appreciated very much!

CAIRO—Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi imposed emergency law and set a curfew in three cities where rioting against his rule killed about 50 people over the weekend, in a move that seemed poised to further inflame violent opposition to his rule.
In a stern address to the nation Sunday evening, Mr. Morsi said he would impose the measures on the cities of Suez, Port Said and Ismailia for 30 days effective on Monday. He also called...

Sorry this is a complete shot in the dark sort to speak but I hope it may at least help troubleshoot ^^
Do you have any peripherals attached, say like a printer, external storage device, keyboards, mice (I know the last two are necessary but..)
If you do, I recommend to disconnect everything that you can to do a bare boot, even mouse and keyboard. Your internals as well, such as CD-Rom and additional hdd's. Basically, try to boot with just the most basic of basics... That way we can see if there is a device that is interfering with the boot.
If you can successfully boot then we know there is a kink somewhere in the hardware causing your system to hang. If this is the case, I recommend to reconnect each device one by one (after each reboot), until we hit the error again. Hopefully, that will tell us which device may be causing the freeze...
If that doesn't solve it, then we can safely assume the problem is with something else. Perhaps, a bad memory module, or and underpowered power supply for example. Since you've tried both usb and dvd-rom boot methods, I am assuming that the images of your x64 gnome were downloaded correctly, and the MD5's are all ok as well.
Let us know please

We live on a planet that is constantly moving, which affects what we see in the sky. As the Earth rotates on its axis, we experience day and night. As the Earth orbits around the Sun, we experience the seasons. For each season we see different constellations in the night sky. For example, the constellation of Scorpius is best seen during winter, while the constellation of Orion is visible on summer evenings. The Southern Cross is a good constellation to watch throughout the entire year because it never disappears below the horizon. It can always be seen circling around the South Celestial Pole.
The information below is for around 8pm (AEST) during September.
The Southern Cross in SpringCopyright: Museum Victoria.
The constellation of Crux (the Southern Cross) is found lying on its side in the south-west, with the Two Pointers, Alpha and Beta Centauri, directly above. The brightest of the pointers, Alpha Centauri, is the closest star to the Sun at 43 000 000 000 000 km.
The bright band of stars called the Milky Way, arches across the sky from north-east to south-west.
Capricornus, the sea-goat, and Aquarius, the water carrier, are two constellations overhead at this time.
Pisces, the fish, and Cetus, the whale, are low in the east. Cetus has a star that periodically changes its brightness, called Mira. The star Formalhaut (in Pisces Austrinus, the southern fish) is also in the eastern sky.
The star Achernar can be found low in the south-east. It marks the end of the river Eridanus. The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are two fuzzy cloud like galaxies that can be found near Achernar.
The stars Altair and Vega are two bright stars in the northern sky.
High in the south-east, in the constellation of Tucana, is a cluster of stars called 47 Tucanae. This is a very old group of stars.
We can see a tiny cluster of stars, called the Jewel Box, near the Southern Cross. An awesome sight is the Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud, at a distance of nearly 180,000 light years.
In larger telescopes, we can find the Helix Nebula in Aquarius and the Veil Nebula in Cygnus.
We're glad you found this infosheet helpful! A really good resource for finding out which planets are visible during any given month, or what other astronomical events are happening, is the Planetarium's Skynotes. These can be found at the following website: http://museumvictoria.com.au/planetarium/discoverycentre/skynotes/
Glad you like the information about the night sky in spring! Monthly positions of constellations for south-eastern Australia can be found on the Sky Maps page at Museum Victoria's Planetarium website. As for producing a daily map we will check with our astronomers and see if this is possible.
Hi Pippi, we do have lots of online resources for exploring the night sky: Sky Maps for south-eastern Australia for each month; constellation maps for Summer, Winter, Autumn & Spring; and Skynotes, produced monthly, which gives heaps of information about what to see in the night sky.

Hey guys
This is my method of sniffing and decrypting ssl traffic on a network.
Before reading on this guide is for educational purposes only. I take no responsibility from what people do with this info.
First thing is to get fragrouter. I don't know if you can use other tools provided with the backtrack, there are 100 ways to skin a cat and this is just my way.
There are lots of things that you can do with fragrouter but we are going to use fragrouter to setup IP forwarding.
We do this with this command :
Squash that window and put it to one side. Now open another shell and we will start dnsspoof with this commandCode:
fragrouter -B1
Again put that window to one side and lets load up webmitm. Webmitm will issue our ssl cert to the victim so we can decrypt the traffic we capture.Code:
dnsspoof -i ath0 (or whatever network interface you are using)
Start webmitm by typing
Now we can start the arp spoof. To start ettercap typeCode:
webmitm -d
Ok now we are rolling :D next thing is to sniff the traffic. There are a few things you can do know like using ettercap filters and adding urls from metasploit, (Maybe next tut :D) and lots of other things. But we are intrested in the ssl traffic so I use wireshark to save the data into a .cap file.Code:
ettercap -T -M arp:remote /router addy/ /victim addy/
You can find wireshark in Backtrack >>> Privilege Escalation >>> Sniffers.
Now we have loaded wireshark lets start capturing packets. Go to Capture >>> Options and setup what network card you are using and then hit start.
Ok you should now be capturing packets addressed to your victims addy. Once you have captured enough, stop wireshark and save the data to your root directory.
Now to decrypt the SSL data.
You should first download ssldump:
ssldump is going to decrypt our sniffed ssl data using our fake ssl cert we issued to the victim. We do this by opening up a shell and typing:
And you are done, all the ssl data will be saved to a file called out in your root dir. Use what you like to search it for passwords etc.Code:
ssldump -r your.cap -w webmitm.crt -d > out
There we go! nice and simple for everybody to understand. :D

USC voted 'Best Place to Work' in Columbia
By Liz White, email@example.com, 803-777-2848
The University of South Carolina's hard work has paid off. Readers of Columbia's Free Times weekly newspaper voted the university the best place to work in the Capital City.
"That's huge recognition for the campus, and I think also recognition of some of the positive things that are happening here at the university," said Chris Byrd, vice president of human resources.
USC also was voted "Best Continuing Education Institution," not just for being the state's flagship university, but for its dedication to "helping working professionals and other nontraditional students meet their goals," Free Times wrote. New athletics director and former head baseball coach Ray Tanner was voted "Biggest Local Hero."
"USC welcomes the recognition in this area. We have long been involved in providing continuing education for the Columbia area," said Lacy Ford, vice provost and dean of graduate studies. Currently, USC is in the process of developing an array of new online outreach efforts including the Palmetto College and the Back to Carolina program.
This is a positive time for USC, from growing enrollment and new discoveries in research to increases in fundraising and successes on the athletic fields. That translates into a better place to work, said Byrd, who credits President Harris Pastides and the university's executive team for its aggressive vision.
"They know that we're only going to accomplish our vision and make progress toward it through a team of outstanding faculty and staff," Byrd said.
One of the university's strategic priorities has been to improve the work environment for employees.
"The quality of the work environment at the university is a really important tool in helping to both attract and retain a high quality workforce," Byrd said.
In the first seven months of 2012, more than 370 new employees had come on board at USC, bringing the university's total number of employees in Columbia to 5,262.
USC's Division of Human Resources is working with individual departments to develop employee recognition programs to recognize faculty and staff accomplishments. The department also is focused on promoting health and wellness programs in connection with Student Affairs and Healthy Carolina.
There are great benefits to working for a top tier university, as faculty and staff are a part of preparing students to be leaders when they leave.
"Our employees really are committed to our mission," Byrd said. "They recognize that we play a critically important role in the state, and I think they take great pride in being a part of that."
USC also boasts a campus where faculty and graduate students are conducting cutting-edge research that meets the critical needs of the world as well as athletic teams that are on the path to greater national prominence, Byrd said.
"What we do here really matters and that resonates with people," he said.
What Free Times had to say about USC:
Best Place to Work
University of South Carolina
Runner-up: Lexington Medical Center
We thought Free Times was the best place to work. We learned we were wrong when longtime prolific contributor Craig Brandhorst decided last month to leave us for a job at the University of South Carolina. Given a choice between covering the university for a paltry freelance check or working there for a nice salary with benefits, Craig's choice pretty much sums up why so many people in this town work at USC — or want to.
Best Continuing Education Institution
University of South Carolina
Runner-up: Midlands Technical College
You're probably accustomed to thinking of USC as our state's flagship university and home to thousands of hard-partying undergrads. That's all true, but USC is also dedicated to helping working professionals and other nontraditional students meet their goals.
Biggest Local Hero
Ray Tanner
Runner-up: Michael Roth
He led the Gamecock baseball team to back-to-back national championships, and almost took a third at this year's College World Series. Now, Ray Tanner's set to lead the University of South Carolina to unprecedented heights at the school's new athletic director. He can be your hero, baby.

are you talking about creating aliases?
First I have to say that I'm absolutely new to linux .
Today I watched a movie-tutorial at milw0rm and the guy acting in this tut was using variables (like mac-address of AP, his own device, ESSID and so on) in other console-windows.
I know the command ("export AP=11:12:12") and in the other windows "$AP" for example, but this works for me only in the console where the variables were defined, not in the next console.
Is there anything I'm doing wrong with this ?
are you talking about creating aliases?
dd if=/dev/swc666 of=/dev/wyze
I'm assuming the video your talking about is muts clientless wep attack. If so you'll notice that he already had the variables defined in another file hence the cat command. So you must create a file and place it in the path. In the future when you refer to a outside source such as a video in this case it would probably be smart to link us or tell us the name so that we can see WTF you are talking about. If you give a piss poor question you will get a piss poor answer.
If you launch the shell/terminal from within a shell where you've already set environment variables then they should persist.
I don't have BT with me right now but it works like this in Winblows:
Set a variable, echo it, launch another shell, echo the variable we set in the first, exit the additional shell. (In BT this would be export instead of set and $BLEH instead of %BLEH%)Code:C:\temp>set BLEH=BOB C:\temp>echo %BLEH% BOB C:\temp>cmd Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp. C:\temp>echo %BLEH% BOB C:\temp>exit C:\temp>
I don't know if it exists in BT but you could probably also use the screen command.
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.
I do this BEFORE I run "startx". If done from the "root shell" before starting KDE, it will be included in the environment variables for all successive shells.
Also, common variables can be added to the files "/etc/profile" and "/root/.bashrc" (they both must have the additions). I have a variable called "MY" that is my spoofed MAC address. To use it, I just enter $MY.
If you don't do it BEFORE you enter KDE, any variables that you enter are only local variables and not the needed global type.
To get the variables into the "global" pile, I start BT2, log in, then run "airodump-ng" to locate the MAC address of the AP that I am pentesting, then enter the command:
Now, AP is a global variable available to any program that wants it (via $AP). Do this with any other variable you want to be global.Code:export AP=01:22:23:AB:CC:DD
