Depression numbs and immobilizes. You may feel stuck, without light, hope, or energy. This phenomena is both physical and mental. Dr. Staat can help you get unstuck by teaching you to deal with both sides: (1) to notice and change negative thought patterns; and, (2) to pay attention to how suppressed emotions express themselves through your body. Learning to express thoughts and release suppressed feelings can lead to permanent recovery. Medication can also be an important adjunct to treatment, especially when depression is severe.

Hey guys, I have a problem.
My WLAN stick doesn't work together with BT5 on my VirtualBox 4.0.6.
I already read some topics and followed the instructions, but they didn't help
(http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...b-adapter.html http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Do...#Prerequisites).
Funny is, the stick works properly (monitoring mode etc...), if I start BT5 as live system. It gets recognized (listed as wlan0 in iwconfig) without a problem.
I would be glad, if you could help me out.

Dear FOS11 members:
On December 31, 2006 nearly half of you will make at least one New Year's resolution as you look toward the New Year. Today, FOS11 is encouraging all of our members to make a resolution that is both important and easy to keep, preparing for emergencies.
In a recent national survey conducted by The Ad Council, 91 percent of Americans agreed that taking some simple steps to prepare could help protect themselves and their families in the event of an emergency. However, only 55 percent had taken at least one of the three steps recommended by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Ready Campaign, including getting an emergency supply kit, making a family emergency plan, and being informed about the different types of emergencies that could occur and their appropriate responses.
Therefore, we are encouraging you to visit www.ready.gov or call 1-800-BE-READY to learn how to prepare your families, homes and businesses for all types of emergencies including natural disasters and potential terrorist attacks. Free materials, including family emergency plan templates and sample business continuity plans, are available through these resources. These materials will provide you with tools to make a New Year's resolution that will bring you a peace of mind.
We encourage you to "Resolve to be Ready" in 2007.
Wishing you a happy and healthy New Year.
Families of September 11

VH1's highest rated docu-series, Love & Hip Hop is back to shake things up in the city that started it all. This year, New York's turning it all the way up with some exciting new additions to go along with the returning cast.
Last season, we all sympathized with fan-favorite, Yandy Smith-Harris, as she said a tearful goodbye to her husband, Mendeecees. Before leaving, Mendeecees tasked Yandy with keeping all of his children together but, with the peacemaker behind bars, Yandy must navigate the baby mama drama on her own.
When Remy Ma and her husband Papoose said their vows in front of millions, they were on top of the world, and now...they're all the way up! With the huge success of Remy's hit song with Fat Joe, she has her eyes on the prize, but Pap has not forgotten about Remy's promise to give him some "bundles of joy". With her career in overdrive, will Remy find time to make good on her pledge to Pap?
Love & Hip Hop Alumnus Kimbella has finally gotten the life and family she has always wanted and she's "still pretty". Having put in the work and sticking out a turbulent six year relationship with rapper Juelz Santana, they finally are at a place of peace...somewhat. Now that Juelz is heading back in the studio to stage his comeback, will Kimbella's trust issues creep back up? Can they stay strong through it all or will the pressures of work life bring back past demons?
Breakout star Cardi B definitely isn't the "regular, shmegular, degular" girl from the Bronx anymore. Hot off her single, "Foreva", Cardi B heads out on tour to promote her new mixtape, but with her man in jail and a new hot producer by her side, can Cardi keep it professional?
Mariahlynn and Bianca's music careers have seen great success since their debut on Love & Hip Hop Season 6, but are these girls getting messy with their friend Cardi B again this season? Now that Mariah's formed a friendship with Sky Landish, will Bianca's pursuit of Drewski get in the way of the three musketeers? Will the girls let fame turn them from friends to frenemies?
Charismatic newcomer, Felicia "Snoop" Pearson, best known for her incredible work on HBO's The Wire, is ready to show the world the real her. Joined by her beautiful girlfriend, J. Adrienne, this couple is poised to take New York by storm...but only if they can weather the storm of their tumultuous relationship. With J's jealousy issues and Snoop's aggressive fans, can this explosive couple make it?
Joining the cast for Season 7 are Samantha Wallace and Erika DeShazo, mothers to Mendeecees' older boys, Lil Mendeecees and Aasim. Can Yandy play nice with Sam and Erika, while trying to run a business and raise a family? What happens when you throw the moms Judy Harris and Kim Wallace into this mix? One thing is for sure, the Harris bunch is about to get messy like you've never seen them before.
Hot 97's DJ Drewski makes his Love & Hip Hop debut this year with his sexy, fitness guru girlfriend, Sky Landish. This fresh young couple struggles to combine business and pleasure, but they are put to the test when Bianca decides she wants a taste of white chocolate.
Juju, the gorgeous author and girlfriend of rapper Cam'ron, joins the cast this season. As she collects intel for her relationship advice book from friends like Yandy, Remy Ma, and Kimbella, will she end up spilling secrets that were never meant to be shared?
There are cracks in the creep squad this season as we see Rich Dollaz, DJ Self, and Cisco Rosado deal with conflicts over artists and women. When newcomer Sofi Green shows up on the scene, will the Creeps be able to contain themselves? And when Rich's daughter, Ashley, comes back to town, will our most seasoned Love & Hip Hop Creep finally be inspired to leave his creep life for good?
Famed love triangle, Peter Gunz, Tara Wallace, and Amina Buddafly return for another season of Love & Hip Hop. With two new additions to the family, Baby Gunner by Tara and Baby Bronx by Amina, Peter certainly has his hands full. Does Peter finally make a choice to be with one woman or will these two women decide enough is enough?!

As a hen mothers her chicks, mother particular knowings, particular doings, in reality.
Since, in truth, bondage and freedom are relative, these words are only for those terrified with the universe. This universe is a reflection of minds. As you see many suns in water from one sun, so see bondage and liberation.
Hui-neng had asked a person, "What is the problem? What are the roots so that man can be solved and man can make some efforts to know who he is?"
Why shouldn't he know without any effort? Why should there be any problem at all? You are, you know you are - so why can't you know who you are? Where do you miss? You are conscious. You are conscious that you are conscious. A life is there; you are alive. Why are you not aware who you are? What becomes the barrier? What prevents you from this basic self-knowledge? If you can understand the barrier, the barrier can be dissolved very easily.
So the real question is not how to know oneself. The real question is to know how you are not knowing yourself, how you are missing such an obvious reality, such a basic truth which is so near to you, how you go on not seeing. You must have created a device; otherwise it is difficult to escape from oneself. You must have created walls; you must, in some sense, be deceiving yourself.
So what is that trick of escaping from oneself, of not knowing oneself? If you don't understand that trick, whatsoever you do will not be of any help - because the trick remains, and you go on asking how to know oneself, how to know the truth, how to know the reality, and consequently you go on helping the barrier. You go on creating it also, so whatsoever you do will be of no use.
Really, nothing positive is needed to know oneself, only something negative. In a way, you have only to destroy the barrier that you yourself have constructed, and the moment that barrier is not there you will know. Knowing happens when the barrier is not; you cannot make any positive effort for it. You have just to be aware of how you are missing it.
So a few things have to be understood as to how you are missing it. One: you live in your dreams, and then dreams become barriers. Reality is not a dream. It is there, you are surrounded by it everywhere. Inside and outside, it is there - you cannot miss it - but you are dreaming. Then you move in a different dimension which is not a reality. Then you go on moving in a dreamworld. Then dreams become like clouds around you, and they create the barrier. Unless mind ceases dreaming, the truth cannot be known. And when you see through dreams the reality is distorted, and your eyes are filled with dreams, and your ears are filled with dreams, and your hands are filled with dreams.

Solve your family photo mysteries with these books by Maureen A. Taylor:
The Freeman house is built on a hill. Behind the house the land drops off. Archaeologists found some of the foundation for the shed, but not enough to be able to determine its function or size. They found poultry wire on the site, which confirms stories about Nancy raising turkeys to support herself.
I'll keep digging for new data.
It's a real stumper. Let's start with the picture: It's a 20th-century photo—after World War I, based the design of the woman's collar.
I'm off to the library to figure out the rest of the clues and double-check a few things. I'll be back next week with more details.
Point your camera at the negative and take a picture. It becomes a positive image. This was taken quickly and it works for identification purposes. It's only a low-resolution picture. Although this isn't a high quality picture worth printing, it's a great way to preview those negatives.
My apologies to the woman who brought in this glass negative—I can't find your name in my London notes. Thank you for letting me use your picture to illustrate this article.

Supplements of calcium and vitamin D can significantly reduce bone loss and the risk of fractures in older people, according to a new report from scientists at Tufts University. The research, the first to show that these supplements can help older men fight osteoporosis, also demonstrates that the benefits of these low cost and easily available supplements can be maintained over several years.
The findings by Bess Dawson-Hughes*, M.D., and colleagues of the Jean Mayer U.S. Department of Agriculture Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University appear in the September 4, 1997, The New England Journal of Medicine . The research was funded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) as part of its STOP/IT (Sites Testing Osteoporosis Prevention/Intervention Treatments) initiative.
"Older people can benefit from this therapy at essentially no risk and at low cost," said Dawson-Hughes. "Our research underscores the importance of calcium and vitamin D supplementation in helping healthy and active older people stay that way."
NIA scientists noted the importance of the finding for older men. "Until recently, osteoporosis has been considered to be a women's problem," said Sherry Sherman, Ph.D., Director, Clinical Endocrinology and Osteoporosis Research, NIA, and project officer for the study. "We know that older men do experience considerable bone loss over time. With older people living longer than ever, increasing the intake of calcium and vitamin D can be an important lifelong strategy for both sexes."
The researchers chose a combination of calcium and vitamin D to take advantage of the vitamin's influence in helping the body absorb and utilize calcium. As people age, the absorption of calcium and, it is believed, vitamin D, declines, as does production of vitamin D by the skin. This reduced ability to absorb calcium contributes to bone loss as people age, and low bone density is an underlying cause of increased hip fracture among the elderly.
The amounts of calcium and vitamin D used in the study are in keeping with recent recommendations of a National Academy of Sciences (NAS) panel, which recommended changes in current dietary requirements for calcium and related nutrients. The NAS group suggested that people over 50 increase their daily intake of calcium to about 1,200 milligrams and found that about 400 - 600 International Units of vitamin D (cholecalciferol) would be adequate.
Dawson-Hughes followed 389 men and women age 65 and older for 3 years. The study participants kept to their usual diets, in which they were generally getting the old recommended dietary allowances of calcium and vitamin D. At bedtime, about half of the study participants took placebo pills of no nutritional value. The other half took two separate pills, one containing 500 milligrams of elemental calcium (calcium citrate malate) and the other 700 International Units of vitamin D. All participants visited Tufts every 6 months for measurements of bone mineral density and other tests. Researchers also noted the number of fractures that occurred during the study period.
Over the 3 years, the calcium/vitamin D group lost significantly less total body bone, and, in some areas, gained bone mineral density. In men, where the findings were more pronounced, those taking placebos lost about one percent of their bone density at the hip over 3 years. Men taking the calcium/vitamin D combination increased their bone density by about 1 percent. The benefit at the hip for men, therefore, totaled a 2 percent improvement in bone density for the supplemented group. For women, the positive effects were most notable in the total body bone density, with lesser effects at the hip and spine.
In addition, the supplements may be effective in maintaining the skeleton over the long term, Dawson-Hughes said. The researchers found that the supplements were beneficial to bone density at the hip, spine, and total body in the first year, and further improved bone density of the total body during the second and third years of the study. The initial effects of supplementation at the hip and spine during the first year held steady, but did not change appreciably, over the next two years.
Even small losses of bone mass each year are important, scientists say. The losses are cumulative and add up to significant decreases in bone mineral density over time. "If we could retard bone loss in older people, we could make a lot of headway in preventing the devastation of osteoporosis and the fractures that commonly come with it," said Sherman.
The group taking supplements did considerably better in avoiding fractures. Some 5.9 percent of the participants taking the calcium and vitamin D suffered fractures, compared with 12.9 percent who did not take the supplements. Most of the fractures occurred in women.
Some 28 million middle-aged and older people are at risk of osteoporosis, and hip fractures related to low bone mass are a leading cause of nursing home entry for the elderly.
The NIA leads the Federal effort conducting and funding basic, clinical, social, and behavioral research aimed at maintaining independence and improving lives of older people and their families.

The public may also call the NIA's toll free information number at 1-800-222-2225 or TTY at 1-800-222-4225 for free consumer fact sheets on osteoporosis and other health issues of older people.

AGTS Announces First J. Philip Hogan
Professor of World Missions
AGTS is pleased to announce the
appointment of Rev. Johnson, AG missionary to Thailand,
as the first J. Philip Hogan professor of world missions. His tenure
begins summer 2006.
The annually appointed Hogan professorship
will bring distinguished missions theologians and practitioners
from around the world to AGTS classrooms for one semester. Each
professor will have the opportunity to publish a monograph as part
of a new AGTS book series on missiology.
Since beginning his missionary
career in Thailand in 1986, Johnson has distinguished himself as
one of the brightest thinkers in Pentecostal missions.
He is a
Ph.D. candidate at the Oxford Centre for Missions Studies, University
of Wales, researching social influence processes in Bangkok's
urban slums. Along with his M.A. in Biblical Literature from AGTS
(1991), he earned an M.A. in Social Science with an emphasis in
leadership at Azusa Pacific University (2002). He earned a B.A.
from Northwest University in Kirkland, Wash.
Johnson serves as
the program director for the Institute of Buddhist Studies and
is a member of the Committee on 2/3 World Mission focusing on the
non-western AG mission movement and its role in bringing the gospel
to least-reached people groups.
"Rev. Johnson's humble and
winsome personality, brilliant mind and passionate commitment to
presenting the gospel to those who have not yet heard is extraordinary," said
AGTS President Byron D. Klaus.

English prof chronicling HIV in post-earthquake Haiti
University of South Carolina distinguished-poet-in-residence Dr. Kwame Dawes, who won an Emmy Award in 2009 for a project on HIV in Jamaica, is chronicling HIV in post-earthquake Haiti for the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, based in Washington D.C.
Kwame Dawes
Working with New York-based photojournalist Andre Lambertson and Lisa Armstrong, an adjunct professor at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism and award-winning freelance journalist, Dawes has traveled to Haiti four times since the Caribbean nation was devastated by a magnitude 7.0 earthquake on Jan. 12.
"I've been humbled by the strength of the people I've met and by their welcoming nature," said Dawes. "They have such a capacity to look for the good despite what is abjectly tragic around them. Their success in finding it is amazing."
Dawes has shared their stories through articles, blogs, video interviews, short documentaries and video poems as part of the Pulitzer Center's Web-based project, "After the Quake: HIV/AIDs in Haiti," posted on the Web site: www.pulitizercenter.org.
Dawes' first trip to Haiti in April was to get a broad understanding of the devastation and what was happening with HIV in the country.
"The earthquake destroyed the infrastructure, the medical facilities," Dawes said. "Haitians living with HIV/AIDs found support with each other. Grassroot organizations and NGOs helped get people back on their regime of medications quickly, but the strain on the existing structures to maintain the care is great."
He met with government officials and interviewed leaders of grassroots organizations and workers with humanitarian organizations to understand current conditions. He visited communities and saw leveled buildings, loss of infrastructure and grim living conditions.
"I wanted to find people living with HIV AIDS to understand the challenges and how the disease was progressing in front of a backdrop of a devastating earthquake," said Dawes, a Ghana native who was raised in Jamaica.
With the help of aid workers, Dawes identified and interviewed 30 people, six of whom he has followed intently during subsequent visits in July, October and earlier this month.
One of the most compelling stories is about Joel Sainton, a 38-year-old pastor who ministers to more than 400 people with HIV/AIDS in Carrefour, a crowded bedroom community outside of Port au Prince. Sainton works day and night to find them medical help and run support groups.
And, he prays for them.
"Pastor Sainton has very little and often goes hungry, but he is committed to his work," said Dawes. "I'm struck by his care for the people, his dedication, his sense of humor and his faith, a pure faith that says 'I am here to do this.'"
Like the people he ministers to, Sainton has HIV.
"His is a powerful testimony," said Dawes, whose video poem, "Job," on the Pulitzer site captures Sainton's strength and faith. "He lives with the disease himself. He doesn't have a church, but these people are his congregation."
Because of the stigma of HIV in Haiti, Sainton's work is hidden from public view, said Dawes.
"People with HIV live in secret," he said. "Many of their own family members don't know they have it. There is a certain intimacy, care and freedom that people with HIV experience by helping one another. For many, it is the only time they can be themselves so freely."
Dawes said this month Sainton will be evicted from his tiny apartment, which sustained earthquake damage. When asked about it, Dawes said he replied, "God will have to provide."
Faith and fear run deep in Haiti's HIV communities, said Dawes.
"One young woman said to me, 'My mother is the dearest thing to me. She loves me so, but our relationship would change if she knew that I have HIV. I need her to love me fully,'" said Dawes. "She said she had tested the waters with her mother and sister, who told her that if they knew someone with HIV/AIDS, they would want to see them killed or ostracized."
The deplorable living conditions since the earthquake, which forced thousands of Haitians into tight quarters with very little privacy, have increased the general fear of being found out. Unprotected sex and rape also have increased, and the birth rate has skyrocketed, quadrupling in some areas.
"There is deep anxiety that the next tally of statistics will show an increase in HIV occurrence," said Dawes.
The tight-quartered camps have also been especially vulnerable during the cholera outbreak, which came after yet another tragedy, Hurricane Tomas, which swept through the Caribbean in late October. Many of the deaths from cholera, Dawes said, were among the HIV population, whose immune systems were already weakened.
While conditions are bleak, the spirit of the people, particularly those with HIV, is strong, said Dawes.
"I have witnessed incredible faith," he said. "I've seen incredible focus and care by many of these people who are living with the disease."
Lambertson and Armstrong will return to Haiti in January. Dawes has edited an anthology of poems, titled "Haitian Poets After the Earthquake," which will be released in February by Peepal Tree Press.
"It features some of the most amazing writing," said Dawes, who has published 15 books of poetry, won the Pushcart Prize in poetry and directs the South Carolina Poetry Initiative.
Building on his Pulitzer Center projects -- "Hope: Living & Loving with HIV in Jamaica" and "After the Quake: HIV/AIDs in Haiti" -- Dawes said he hopes to create a similar project, titled "Touched," to document HIV in South Carolina.

Kathleen Sebelius Resigning From HHS
Faster than an error message pops up while vigorously trying to reload healthcare.gov, Kathleen Sebelius is gone from the Department of Health and Human Services.
An HHS official confirmed to The Daily Beast that Sebelius, the long-embattledsecretary will announce her resignation on Friday. Sebelius, who has been under withering scrutiny for her role overseeing the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, is expected to be succeeded by Sylvia Mathews Burwell, the chief of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
Sebelius's tenure has been rocky from the start. The former Kansas governor wasn't Obama's first choice for the position—that was former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle. Instead, she was only nominated after Daschle was forced to step aside because of tax issues, which presented political obstacles to his confirmation. Since then, Sebelius, who was a popular bipartisan leader in traditionally Republican Kansas, has become a political lightning rod and has taken much of the blame for the initial failures of healthcare.gov. Obama was forced to defend her in an interview with NBC News in November 2013, saying"Kathleen Sebelius doesn't write code. She wasn't our IT person."
Her resignation does come at a high point for Sebelius. Just hours before word of her resignation leaked, she testified on Capitol Hill that 7.5 million Americans had signed up for health insurance on federal exchanges under the Affordable Care Act, a number that exceeds the White House's goal of 7 million enrollments. In an interview with The Daily Beast, Tom Daschle was full of praise for Sebelius's efforts to implement the highly controversial legislation. "I think Kathleen Sebelius deserves a good deal of credit where we are today," said Daschle. "She provided outstanding leadership." In his opinion, the outgoing HHS Secretary had been "unfairly critcized often for her work and her leadership."

Will the economy steam ahead in 2012?
by Peggy Binette, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-5400
Seventy years after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and vaulted the United States into a world war and out of the Great Depression, University of South Carolina researchers will deliver their 2012 economic forecast for a state and nation struggling to recover from what has been called the Great Recession.
Business leaders and the public will find out what's ahead for the upcoming year of election-year politics and fragile recovery Wednesday, Dec. 7, at the Darla Moore School of Business' 31st annual Economic Outlook Conference.
The annual conference, widely considered the state's premier economic event, attracts scores of South Carolina business and government leaders to the Moore School to hear the forecast and discuss economic strategies.
John Silvia, Wells Fargo's chief economist, will deliver a keynote address on the impact of election-year politics on economic recovery, and Bobby Hitt, S.C. secretary of commerce, will discuss governmental strategies for state economic growth.
The Economic Outlook Conference is set for 11:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. in Lumpkin Auditorium on the eighth floor of the Moore School. This year's theme is "Prognosis for a Fragile Recovery."
Here's the rundown:
1 p.m. – "The Economy Rolls Into an Election Year: Results and Rhetoric," Silvia;
1:45 p.m. – "South Carolina Economic Outlook," Joseph Von Nessen, research associate, Moore School's Division of Research;
2:30 p.m. – "Economic Hotspots in South Carolina," Douglas Woodward, professor of economics and director of the Moore School's Division of Research;
2:50 p.m. – "The Manufacturing Renaissance in South Carolina," Hitt; and
3:45 p.m. – "Data for Economic Development in South Carolina," Hildy Teegen, dean of the Moore School.
Registration is $55 and includes a networking lunch and reception. Advance registration is required and can be done online at http://moore.sc.edu by clicking on "events." Early registration is encouraged. For more information, contact Tina Poindexter at 803-777-7311 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

August 29, 2007 – Torrance, CA - Highlighting this model's role as a prestige leader, Lexus will once again offer a limited-production Pebble Beach Edition SC 430. Now in its fifth year, the 2008 special edition SC will feature Smokey Granite Mica exterior paint with exclusive Carmel/Ecru leather trim interior and unique 18-inch G-Spoke alloy wheels. The SC 430 Pebble Beach Edition commemorates the brand's exclusive partnership with the Pebble Beach Company.
The SC 430 offers a total of nine exterior colors, along with four interior leather trim colors and two wood trim choices, and a new exterior color, Golden Almond Metallic.
"The SC 430 is the quintessential grand touring luxury convertible, combining entertaining performance and pure luxury flavor with head-turning style and unique amenities," said Mark Templin, Lexus group vice president and general manager.
The Lexus SC 430 brings classic luxury, performance and high technology together in an elegantly styled hardtop convertible. With the push of a button, the retractable hardtop transforms the SC 430 from a sleek coupe into an elegant convertible in under 25 seconds.
Engineered for Stirring Performance
Engineered as a convertible from the start, the SC 430's structure provides outstanding strength whether the retractable hardtop is up or down. The rigid structure allowed Lexus to tune the front and rear double-wishbone independent suspension to deliver both responsive handling and its signature smooth ride. The 53/47 weight distribution helps deliver optimal balance for confident steering response and impressive agility, aided by standard 18-inch wheels with 245/40R18 Z-rated tires. All-season or summer run-flat tires are available as an option, and the SC 430 offers a Liquid Graphite finish 18-inch five-spoke wheel option.
Elegant Power
The rear-wheel-drive SC 430 is powered by an aluminum, double-overhead cam (DOHC) 4.3-liter V8 engine that produces 288 horsepower and 317 lb.-ft. of peak torque. Power is channeled through a six-speed automatic transmission that propels the SC 430 from zero-to-60 mph in just 5.8 seconds.
In addition to its ample power, the SC 430's V8 is a paragon of smoothness and graceful response. Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) enhances torque over a broad speed range. The Intuitive Powertrain Control works with the Electronic Throttle Control to help smooth out acceleration from a standing start. The SC 430 achieves Ultra-Low Emissions Vehicle II (ULEV II) certification.
A standard six-speed automatic transmission employs Shift Logic Control to respond to road grade and acceleration/deceleration activity, holding gears or downshifting on hills to help provide optimal engine power or a braking effect. A sequential-shift feature allows the driver to enjoy a more involved driving experience when desired.
Lexus Safety and Security
The Lexus SC 430 matches its performance capability with the brand's renowned attention to safety and security. The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) includes front airbags and front seat-mounted side airbags. A front-passenger-seat weight detection sensor helps determine when the passenger airbag should be deployed. Front-knee airbags help to provide further injury-reduction potential in the SC 430.
An array of dynamic handling aids give the SC 430 driver tools to help achieve optimal vehicle control: a four-sensor, four-channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS); Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD); Brake Assist (BA) and Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) with traction control (TRAC). EBD monitors all four wheels during braking and varies brake pressure according to the load on each wheel. Brake Assist is designed to determine if the driver is attempting emergency braking, and if the driver has not stepped firmly enough on the brake pedal to engage ABS, it applies increased braking power until pedal pressure is released.
VSC helps control lateral traction while cornering on slippery or dry road surfaces by using a combination of throttle intervention and applying individual wheel braking to help control any discrepancy between where the driver is steering and where the vehicle is heading. Integrated with VSC, TRAC is designed to help limit rear-wheel spin on slippery road surfaces.
Seeing Around Corners
The SC 430 was among the first Lexus models to offer the advanced Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS) that helps to enhance nighttime visibility in turns and curves. In the SC 430, a central controller calculates the optimum lighting direction based on input from vehicle speed and steering angle and swivels the right and left headlights independently. A self-leveling feature (similar to HID) automatically levels the lights depending on road conditions. An AFS on/off switch allows the driver to disengage the system at any time. Other SC 430 safety and visibility features include a uniblade windshield wiper, daytime-running lights, standard fog lamps and projector-type High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights with auto levelers.
Classic Luxury
The SC 430's ultra-luxurious interior, with its plush combination of natural materials including leather and wood trim, took inspiration from high-end, custom-made yachts. Semi-aniline leather trims not only the seats but also the door armrests, console cover, and front seat-belt guides. This hand-stitched leather trim is available in three colors, including camel, black and ecru.
Genuine wood trim is used liberally throughout the SC 430 interior, including the center console, doors and instrument panel, plus a matching wood-trim shift knob and a wood-trim cover panel for the dual front cup holders. A dark brown wood color called Espresso Birds-eye Maple is paired with the camel color leather-trim interior. Walnut wood trim is used with the ecru and black leather-trim interiors.
The sporty instrument-gauge panel is complemented by the same steering-wheel design used in the GS sedans. This luxurious wood and leather-trimmed wheel features a power tilt-telescope adjustment along with integrated cruise control and audio switches. Reflecting the brand's meticulous attention to convenience, the steering wheel automatically tilts away when the ignition is turned off to make exiting and reentry easier, then returns to its memory position when the car is started again.
The SC 430's sumptuous interior setting is so well equipped that there are no options; the only factory options for the SC 430 include a rear spoiler, run-flat tires and a five-spoke wheel design. Front occupants enjoy the comfort of 10-way, power-adjustable heated seats. Electrically powered, wood-trimmed access doors conceal both the audio system head unit and the standard navigation system.
The SC 430's advanced climate-control system has been specifically designed for a convertible environment. It adjusts airflow and temperature automatically, differentiating between top-up and top-down driving needs and taking into account the exterior temperature to help ensure occupant comfort.
Navigation and High-End Audio are SC 430 Standards
Like all Lexus models, the SC 430 offers advanced technology that enhances the driving and ownership experience, yet is easy to use. The standard Lexus Navigation System offers a voice-command feature that allows hands-free use and provides easy-to-understand graphics and phone-number-based address recognition. The central wide-format color display offers a split-screen option and also adjusts seven degrees up or down to help minimize sun glare when the top is down.
The SC 430 comes equipped as standard with the Mark Levinson® Premium Audio System. Like the climate control system, the SC 430's Mark Levinson system has been configured to self-optimize performance for top-up or top-down driving. Designed by one of the audio field's legendary innovative brands, the SC 430's system uses a seven-channel DSP 240-watt amplifier and nine strategically located speakers to turn the car's interior into a private concert hall. System equalization automatically adjusts when the roof is lowered to compensate for the changed acoustics and ambient noise levels, and it returns to its original levels when the roof is raised.
Premium Protection
All new Lexus vehicles come with a 48-month/50,000-mile basic limited warranty with roadside assistance for 48-months/unlimited miles. Powertrain and restraint system coverage is provided for 72 months/70,000 miles. Corrosion perforation protection is covered for 72 months, regardless of mileage.

If anything signaled the end of Disney's dominance in the feature-length animated-film department, as well as the rise of computer-animated films over traditionally hand-drawn animated films, it was the release, ten years ago, of Ice Age.
Prior to that, most of the major cartoons — the successful ones, that is — were produced by Disney, distributed by Disney or, in the case of DreamWorks, produced by former Disney people who were either imitating Disney's style (a la The Prince of Egypt) or mocking it (a la Shrek).* But Ice Age changed all that: produced by Fox, it borrowed at least some of its sensibility from the old Warner Brothers cartoons — certainly where the hapless Wile E. Coyote-like Scrat was concerned — and its makers didn't seem to have Disney on the brain at all. And audiences still flocked to it anyway.

MSF Xploit Builder is not THAT good, yet. Is it even over the beta yet? I have tried using it but it had too many errors unfortunately and no source.
Thus it was winbl0wz only as well right? The remade exploit modules i have made which are just remakes of old exploits were all made on linux and kwrite/nano!
You really don't need a gui to create exploits, however this is very useful:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Metaspl...WindowsExploit and hey,
if you want a video guide on how to make an exploit try this: http://guides.intern0t.net/msf2.php
I thought however it was forbidden to bump old threads though?

Bret Michaels skips another concert recovering from flu & diabetic complications
Listen to Bret Michaels on iHeartRadio
Bret Michaels continues to recover from the flu and complications caused by his diabetes.
Guitarist Pete Evick said in a weekend website post that the Poison frontman wasn't able to return to the stage Saturday in Albany, New York as the singer had hoped. Pete explained that Michaels was determined to play the show, and it took "a team of doctors, friends and family to convince Bret to not return to the stage."
Evick added that for most non-diabetics battling a flu this severe their recovery would likely include a week off work, so for Michaels to think he could be back in action in just two weeks was "pretty crazy." But Pete said he had "no doubt" Bret would be "up and running at 100-percent soon." He also expressed confidence that Michaels will be able to resume his tour in St. Louis, Missouri on June 13th as scheduled.
Michaels' latest medical drama began last Thursday. His blood sugar plummeted during a show in New Hampshire, forcing him to end the performance after just three songs. Bret also missed Friday's concert in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
The singer previously suffered a series of health setbacks a few years ago, including an emergency appendectomy and a brain hemorrhage. Michaels has lived with type 1 diabetes since childhood.

(Mockingbirds in pomegranate)! Been a long time since I've posted in here. The pomegranates are once again ripe, and the mockingbirds are bickering over who has dibs.

It's been ages since I drew a bird from life. Start back with what's there: multiple families of house sparrows in the trickle from the hose and in the elderberry bush.

! I've been working since July in a temporary building between the Domes and the student farm, both of which are unkempt paradises for birds. There's an oleander right outside my south-facing window. I've been getting some birds perching in the shrub and looking in at me, as well as a Western fence lizard, which uses the insect screen as a super-highway.
The orange-crowned warblers are here in numbers just now and the sparrows are all coming in and singing, as they will all winter.
We are moving to a new building in a couple of weeks. It's by the freeway, it's in an industrial park and, well, it's not unkempt. There will be fewer birds. But I'm taking my sketchbook along anyway…

I led a small group at the Raptor Center this morning for Audubon. It was a beautiful morning and the miserable wind had died down.
split up and walked quietly around the center. I drew the great horned owl and as I was walking back to where the Harris's hawk is a burrowing owl perched very close, looking up and all around.
As we were about to leave a turkey vulture landed on a snag between the Raptor Center and the creek. One of the volunteers said it was probably a bird they had recently released. We all sketched it for quite a while until it took off, joining a couple of soaring vultures.

A short trip to Southern California… We found nesting Say's Phoebes at the Jawbone Canyon visitor center.

The Western kingbirds have been in since before I got back to Davis. This evening I saw two pairs emerging from the trees on display flights and returning. They don't seem to have been too bothered by the elm that blew down last night, taking the power lines with it, but I'm guessing a magpie nest or two has been destroyed… :(

text: Katie Lee is continuing her fetish for dating way older guys who drink way too much and have a big temper. I wonder what it is that made her go from Billy Joel to Russell Crowe. I think it is a step up. Probably several. It won't last, but for now, while Russell is filming in NYC they have been spotted hanging out at 2am and 3am and at his hotel so, it is not exactly like they are staying up to go to 5am mass. Katie has been out of the spotlight since she got divorced from Billy Joel. Yes, she is still a public figure, but she was everywhere and got invited to everything when she was married to Billy. Maybe she misses that. Maybe she just had a Gladiator fantasy. Maybe Russell has a thing for cooks. Who knows how lust works.
