text: Updated from Sunday, 7:49 p.m., eastern, to add video reaction from TheStreet's Chris Ciaccia and, on page two, Apple's current stock price and additional commentary on gold iPhone rumors. NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- So, the latest Apple ( AAPL) rumor comes from a relatively credible source, MG Siegler over at TechCrunch. Long story short, it's a gold iPhone. Initial reaction from the tech-geek ether, gold is big in China, therefore a gold iPhone would be big in China. Maybe this is true. And maybe Apple will sell a billion gold iPhones to a billion Chinese in China and abroad. If, however, you have anything resembling a long-term field of vision for this company, you best be concerned. Writing for Business Insider, the clever Jay Yarow referred to this as "Apple's Next Great Innovation ..." I can only hope he is being sarcastic. I knew Apple would change when Steve Jobs died. It was inevitable. Expected. And, to some extent, preferred. That said, I never thought I would see this sort of gimmicky, short-term pathetic attempt at stealing low-hanging market share from this company. The only good Apple rumor I have heard is that the company will stick to what it does best and produce a television set/set-top box combo, focused not on content, but on design and user experience. The stuff that brought Apple to the dance. That would help keep Apple's halo effect alive. And it would show that Tim Cook hasn't forgotten -- assuming he even knew in the first place -- where Apple came from. Updated on Page Two. Prev 0 of 2 Next

UPLAND -- Cody Beitz and Kail Parker have spent many afternoons finding and correcting problems on a borrowed Ford Focus in preparation for a competition that could lead to opportunities in the automotive industry.
The Upland High School automotive technology students will compete in the Ford/AAA Student Auto Skills competition on May 3 at the NHRA Motorsports Museum in Pomona.
Beitz and Parker were the top two Upland High School students to make it to the competition, where they will compete against other California high school students to diagnose and fix "bugged" 2013 Ford Focuses as quickly as possible while ensuring quality workmanship.
"I just hope we find everything," said Beitz, a senior.
If they win, Beitz and Parker would move on to the national finals at the Ford Motor Company headquarters in Dearborn, Mich.
Participation in the competition will give the students an opportunity to win scholarships, prizes, trips, trophies and automotive equipment.
The names of the contestants will be given to AAA-affiliated service facilities, Ford Motor Company dealers and other organizations looking for automotive technicians and service specialists, according to the competition's website.
"It means a lot actually. It's pretty cool," said Parker, a junior.
Josh Wish, automotive technology teacher at Upland High, has been giving the students a list of problems to troubleshoot in order to better prepare them for the competition.
This is Wish's second time entering Upland in the competition, having competed with another school in Orange County previously.
"I have never been to nationals before," Wish said. "I feel like these guys give me a great shot. Not matter what I've thrown at them they've done a pretty good job at figuring it out."
Ford of Upland, across the street from the high school, has lent the students a 2012 Ford Focus and equipment.
Ford has donated cars and equipment to the program in the past and even recruits students from the program to work for the dealership.
"In reality, these are our technicians of the next generation," said Carl Slates, service director for Ford of Upland.
The automotive technology program at Upland High offers a variety of courses for students whether they are planning to seek careers in the automotive industry or just want to learn the basics.
Wish said the program is growing in popularity among students.
"We have more students that want to take the class than we have spots," he said. "We're developing the program and building it each year, getting new equipment and recruiting students."

11:33 AM PT -- Katherine Jackson's attorney tells TMZ that "Paris is physically fine and is getting appropriate medical attention."
The lawyer, Perry Sanders, adds, "Being a sensitive 15 year old is difficult no matter who you are. It is especially difficult when you lose the person closest to you."
10:28 AM PST: TMZ has found several photos of Paris in which it appears Paris' arm has possible cutting scars.
10:14 AM PST: A source connected to the family tells TMZ THAT Paris "threw a fit" last night after she was told she couldn't go to a Marilyn Manson concert. TMZ reports that she ran into her room screaming and slammed the door.

THERE might only be 34 pupils at Crowcombe School, but that doesn't mean it isn't bursting with fun and pupils who are hungry to learn.
The school is federated with Stogumber Primary School, which means that they share a head teacher, governing body and PTA.
It's always a busy day for head Jennifer Yates, who splits her time between the two schools, but it's something she loves and has been doing for four years.
In November's OFSTED inspection the school was boosted to a 'good' rating and Jennifer wants to build on this.
"We're excited about developing our new curriculum as we're building in even more learning outdoors which everyone here values so much.
"The governors are working hard securing a strong future for the school as we believe the small village school is such an important part of a rural community.
"We're pleased with the outcomes of our recent OFSTED report as they were very complimentary about so many things, and, of course, all schools want to be outstanding, so we'll continue to work hard to achieve that goal.
"We already work very closely with Stogumber and would aim to continue to strengthen the federation as it's so beneficial to both schools."
The pupils were praised for showing good behaviour in the OFSTED report. Jennifer said the pupils' happiness was at the heart of school life, adding: "We want every pupil to feel happy and confident, and to enjoy doing their very best.
"The most rewarding thing about being a head teacher is being part of the journey our pupils are experiencing, seeing them take new steps day by day and sharing in their pride in new achievements, be it in learning or overcoming personal challenges or fears, such as swimming."
The schools recently became a Global Education base of excellence, providing training with other schools.
They have close links with Tanjeh School in Gambia, and the teachers and governors take part in exchange visits.
A new playground area was recently installed with climbing equipment, a slide, a stage and trim trial fun.
A new covered play area for reception children is also planned.

Had Obama been dealing with the Republican Party of the Eisenhower or Nixon years, that assumption would have made sense.
The very next day he sent Eisenhower a message saying that he did not intend to annex the Sinai.
Well, Eisenhower wound down the Korean War and cut the defense budget.
To win in 1960, the Democrats needed to regain Texas, once a solid-South state that had defected to Eisenhower in 1952 and 1956.
The model for the revival of the Republican party should be the presidency of Dwight Eisenhower.
He was always an Eisenhower man, a Republican—and they argued between themselves the whole time.
In the end the matter had to be taken to General Eisenhower for resolution.
They put me in the category, I guess, along with General Eisenhower.
From General Eisenhower and his associates, I have had friendly and understanding collaboration in this endeavor.
General Eisenhower has faced this period of trial with admirable calm and resolution and with steadily increasing success.

description: Even a baby king cobra has the hunting skills of an adult.

title: King Cobra vs. Olive Water Snake

allowUserEmbed: True

credit: National Geographic

transcript:
In the forests of southern India, a week-old king cobra must find his first meal.
Despite being a literal “babe in the woods,” this little guy already possesses all the skills he’ll ever need to survive in the forest.
If he makes it to adulthood, he could grow as long as 18 feet, about 15 times his current length.
Using his keen eyesight and powerful sense of smell, the little King spots his prey, a small olive water snake.
He locks onto his target, and moves into striking position. Though only a week old, already his hunting skills are perfect.
He pursues his intended victim with a singleness of purpose, delivering a powerful neurotoxic venom with one swift strike.
Other snakes are a favorite food of the King Cobra. They dine on them almost exclusively.
When the little king is full-grown, he’ll have enough venom in just one bite to kill up to 20 people, but for now, he has just enough for the little water snake.

No vote on Charleston texting ban
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
Despite a public hearing on the issue, members from Charleston City Council's Traffic and Transportation Committee decided not to vote on a texting while driving ban Monday night.
Because several members were not present at the scheduled public hearing, those in attendance decided to discuss the ban at their next meeting.
There was a continued push from residents of the Charleston area to have a full hands-free ordinance instead of just a texting while driving ban. Mayor Joe Riley, however, said he supports just a texting while driving ban to keep enforcement uniform between Charleston and the Mount Pleasant.
The Town Council in that municipality will hold a final reading on a texting while driving. Discussions began earlier in the summer, and it seems that Town Council will approve that ordinance.
Drivers who attended Charleston's meeting are hoping the city will follow Mount Pleasant's lead.
"There are only three states in the United States that don't have any texting bans whatsoever and sadly South Carolina is one of those," Stacy Katsibas said. " I know there's other counties in South Carolina that have passed texting bans, so I would love if Charleston would do the same."
Katsibas' mother was killed by a driver who was allegedly texting while driving back in 2010.
A drafted ordinance in the city calls for a $100 fine if a driver is caught texting and driving. One councilman has expressed concern over the ability for police to enforce if the ordinance simply calls for a ban on texting while driving.
The Traffic and Transportation Committee will take up the discussion on September 24.

If that thing is real...
Worst... iPhone... EVAR....
The white pic on the bottom just looks like its wrapped in plastic. Real or fake it looks nice. Not everybody has a car stereo that charges your phone as well as play the music. I use the auxiliary cable, plus the cigarette lighter to charge it and with a cable connected to the bottom AND top, the cords kind of get in the way. Havin both cords on bottom wouldn't be too horrible. Besides, have you ever had your headphones plugged in on the TOP of your phone and been surfing the Internet and had to move the cord out of your way, or how about taking a pic or video? The cord always finds its way in front of the camera! Being on the bottom would eliminate both problems.
Looks like the two-tone is from the protective plastic around the part. There now appears to be a microphone next to the camera lens so you'll get audio from what you're shooting video of instead of your hand muffling/rubbing the microphone while holding the camera.
MicroUSB would be nice to standardize cords and make it cheaper to buy since it's an EU standard. Having a headphone jack on the bottom is good, that way if I put the phone in my cargo pants outside pocket both dock and headphone openings face down away from rain instead of one or the other being exposed.
The phone looks taller too, probably to accomodate a larger 16:9 screen.
I thought the 4S was too lame of an upgrade to blow my AT&T subsidy on, so i'm still using my 4 and holding out for a REAL 5. But if they change the dock connector, I guess i'll be getting the 4S instead. No way i'm buying 100's of dollars worth of new accessories again, not to mention the $700 car stereo I recently installed that has a hard wired 30pin connector!! What has me worried right now is, this morning SiriusXM put the SkyDock on sale for $19.99, that's $100 off!! If the SkyDock wont work with the next new iPhone, that would certainly explain why they're practically giving them away right now!
Anyway, if you're not planning to upgrade, go get a SkyDock on the cheap, i've had one since it came out, it works AWESOME and even if you dont active it, it still doubles as an FM modulator, vehicle dock and it charges the phone! No, I am not affiliated with SiriusXM in any way, shape or form.
Seems clear to me that it uses the touch-sensitive back area tech that Apple patented so long ago.
I can see this being great for scrolling without accidentally making selections, precision pointing (moves a dot around), and easily positioning a cursor/insertion point within a text field (forget wanting arrow keys!).
Except the MagSafe power adapters on the MacBook/Pros are a failure in the current version.That looks like a MagSafe port to me.
With the original MagSafe you could bump the cord in any direction and it would release, hence the point of MagSafe so it won't damage your computer should you trip on the cable.
The current MagSafe, let's say you have the cord pointed backwards on the MacBook/Pro laptop:
1. If you pull the cord straight back it doesn't release.
2. If you pull the cord straight down it doesn't release.
3. If you pull the cord straight up it doesn't release.
4. If you pull the cord forward it releases (which is highly unlikely that you'd do that since the cord is pointed backwards)
5. If you pull the cord straight out away from the computer it releases
I've talked to service folks who have customers with damaged charging ports on the Unibody since the cord was pulled up/down and bent the port. Try it…you can lift the left side of the heaviest MacBook/Pro off the table by pulling straight-up or worst up and towards the opposite side.
Granted some of the pulling has to be done straight in that direction but you get the point. If you're at Starbucks at those little tables and have the edge of your MacBook/Pro extended over the edge you're in risk of having a cord pull literally crash your computer.

Arkansas Tech University began this self-study process in 2007 in anticipation of a 2010-11 Site Visit by Consultant-Evaluators from the Higher Learning Commission. Targeted to both internal and external constituencies, the self-study was a collaborative process between faculty, staff, administrators, students, alumni, and the public. The self-study process was viewed as an opportunity to examine the criteria for accreditation and to establish if the mission of the University is being met.
The faculty, staff, administrators, and students of Arkansas Tech University are proud of the accomplishments of the Institution during the time period since the last Site Visit of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. As reflected in the Self-Study Report, the years from 2000 to 2010 have been a period of growth, change, and excitement at Arkansas Tech University. Throughout all of the changes and growth, Arkansas Tech University has remained committed to its constituents.
The sections of the Self-Study Report - noted by the tabs to the left of this panel - document a decade of advancement for the University, particularly in the areas of assessment and student learning, through both credit and non-credit programs. It has been through its proven record of responsible management, strategic planning, and assessment-based accountability that Arkansas Tech University has insured that it fulfills its mission. As detailed in the Report, Arkansas Tech University undertook a thorough and honest assessment of itself and its programs. This multi-year process was a valuable experience for the University and its constituents. The self-study process confirmed the strengths of the University and enlightened the faculty and administration to areas which need to be addressed in the future.
Taken in its entirety, the Self-Study Report documents that Arkansas Tech University satisfies the Criteria for Accreditation, as stated in the Handbook of Accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.

FOS11 Chat Program Online Community Support GroupMaking Changes
A recently published book examines points at which people have so called, "aha" moments, which cause them to take a leap of faith and turn their lives around, "make a u-turn", in hopes of experiencing a more authentic life. This type of life shift and change is often likely to happen after experiencing trauma and suffering. Our next chat will focus on these "aha moments" and the willful act of changing and making "u-turns" in our lives.
The book referenced above is U-Turn: What If You Woke Up One Morning and Realized You Were Living the Wrong Life? In addition to other types of trauma people experience, the author, Bruce Grierson, specifically reflects on 9/11/01 and a spirit of change: "It is the shift from feeling invulnerable...to suddenly feeling vulnerable that's at the heart of many U-Turns...Those who have been spared feel connected to the victims by a newly kindled sense of common vulnerability. What follows is that realization --that we're inclined to help people in the future." We will use some of the ideas in this book to spark the conversation and provide an opportunity for participants to share their own experiences.
Please join the chat on Wednesday, April 25 from 8-9pm EDT. To enroll click here:
Please Note: We have recently been experiencing technical difficulties. One issue we are aware of is that when you log in you may be prompted to upgrade JAVA on your computer system when you sign in to the chat. You need an upgraded version of JAVA to participate in the chat. When you click "yes" to upgrade, the JAVA wizard will walk you through the process. It may take a few minutes, but it is not difficult.
This online chat session will provide 9/11 victims' families, survivors, first responders, and others affected by the attacks at the Pentagon, the World Trade Center, and Shanksville the opportunity to discuss issues and topics of importance in a safe, supportive environment. As a reminder, all participants must be FOS11 members (please see below on how to register as a member - membership is free). Dr. Donna Gaffney, a licensed mental health professional and noted trauma specialist, will facilitate the chat.

Our latest project is a hand-built, custom 60″ dome brick wood-fired oven. You can find the new restaurant, Johnny's Wood-Oven Pizzeria, in Chadd's Ford just outside Philadelphia, PA. The photo below shows the completed oven. The oven exterior is a tile mosaic with a brick base finished by the owner.
The oven is the focal point of the new restaurant, directly behind the bar counter. The photo below shows the view directly through the front entrance.
Once the masonry block base and concrete hearth slab are complete the oven begins. The oven floor and walls are built on top of 4″ of load bearing, commercial grade insulation. The photo below shows the firebrick floor and walls underway. The first course of the form free dome construction has begun.
The dome is built entirely of high duty firebrick. Every brick is cut to achieve tight, long lasting joints. The dome is about halfway complete in the photo below.
The arched door opening in the dome is shown below.
Once the dome is complete, 4″ of commercial ceramic wool insulation covers the oven.
The insulation is covered with a rough stucco coat. The oven is now ready for any type of final facing.
The owner, John, finished the oven in a combination of brick, tile mosaic, and stucco. He's working the new oven in the photo below.
One of the first hot fires rolls over the dome in the photo below. Notice how clean the oven ceiling is, indicating a hot clean fire burning in the oven.
One a the oven's first pizzas after just a few seconds in the hot oven cooks on the firebrick floor in the photo below.
In about a minute, the pizza is out and ready to eat.

Indians acquire Jason Kubel
(CLEVELAND) – The Indians completed a trade on Friday acquiring outfielder Jason Kubel from the Arizona Diamondbacks for cash and a minor league player to be named later.
According to multiple reports the Tribe did not claim Kubel on waivers and the Dbacks will pay nearly all of the $2.5 million remaining on the slugger's contract.
Kubel, 31, is only hitting .220 with 5 HRs in 89 games this season with Arizona but he is a career .265 hitter with 139 HRs. In 2012 he hit 30 HRs and had 90 RBIs. Kubel has spent nine seasons in the majors with two teams, the Dbacks and the Minnesota Twins.
The Indians begin a three-game series in Detroit with the Tigers following a three-game sweep at the hands of the Atlanta Braves. Kubel could help the Tribe's offense who went 0-for-18 with runners in scoring position and were outscored 8-3 in the series.
Cleveland is currently four-games back of the Oakland Athletics in the AL Wildcard hunt and 6 ½ games behind the Tigers in the AL-Central Division.

Got a job interview at a boxing gym.
job will be a bit of PT mixed with boxing/boxercise classes.
As part of the interview I've got to run a short boxing for fitness class.
I'm sure a ton of people on here have done this to a decent level, can anyone give me any advice, tips etc.
It seems like I'll be teaching a class of the other applicants, which is daunting enough. and the owner will be assessing the best coaches.
Anyone got any good drills or workouts I could throw in. I've been involved in a lot of classes in my time but not actually run one before and I really can't afford to fuck up.

|Provider Name
God of War: Origins Collection is a bundling of two previously released PlayStation Portable (PSP) games in the God of War single player, third-person action series that make their first appearance on PlayStation 3. Games included are God of War: Chains of Olympus and God of War: Ghost of Sparta which respectively are a prequel to the original PlayStation 2 God of War release, and an interquel between the events of God of War and God of War II. Downloadable content is included and both games feature HD resolution and stereoscopic 3D game support.
Discover the origins of Kratos with the definitive compilation of God of War: Chains of Olympus and God of War: Ghost of Sparta on a single Blu-ray disc for the very first time. Fully remastered in high-definition 720p and stereoscopic 3D, players will discover the dark past that continues to haunt the iconic Spartan Warrior, and why he is forced to choose between his own personal redemption and saving the ancient world from destruction.
The God of War franchise tells the tragic and violent story of the warrior Kratos and his dealings with the gods. The ancient world would eventually both praise and damn the infamous ''Ghost of Sparta'' as the mortal who slayed a god, but long before his battle with Ares, Kratos sought absolution from his past sins by pledging himself as a champion to the gods. These brutal crusades in the name of Olympus became legendary, but would have far-reaching consequences. In Chains of Olympus Kratos is pushed to the edge as he is ordered by the gods to journey to the very depths of the underworld after the world plunges into darkness. There he must face the most feared creatures of Greek mythology and is forced to choose between his own personal redemption and saving the ancient world from certain destruction. It is a choice that will shake the immortals from their perches on Mt. Olympus.
Set within the shadowy realm of Greek mythology, God of War: Ghost of Sparta allows players to take on the role of the powerful and iconic Spartan warrior Kratos following the events of the original God of War game for PS2. Although Kratos has made his ascent to power as the God of War, this rise is not without its consequences. In his quest to rid himself of the nightmares that haunt him, Kratos must embark on a journey that will reveal the origins of lost worlds, and finally answer long-awaited questions about his dark past. Armed with the deadly chained Blade weapons, he will have to overcome armies of mythological monsters, legions of undead soldiers, and amazingly dangerous and brutal landscapes throughout his merciless quest.

School shooter mockup caused some panic
(Cleveland Heights) — A high school principal has been disciplined for panicking students and staff during a safety project involving a school-shooter scenario.
The Northeast Ohio Media Group reports that several students were screaming and running in the halls last week when administrative principal Johnetta Wiley announced on the public address system that there was a shooter in the building at Cleveland Heights High School.
Wiley and other staff members actually were filming a safety video before classes started and few people were in the building. But not everyone was told the scenario wasn't real, and police were called.
Wiley was put on paid administrative leave during an investigation. The superintendent said students and teachers should have been notified. She said Wiley apologized for the incident.

When Reinvention 2007's original (and much anticipated) keynote speaker, Peter Q. Bohlin, FAIA, was detained in Italy on a passport snafu, his colleague Ray Calabro, AIA, saved the day. On short notice Ray flew to Charleston, S.C. from Seattle to stand in as the keynoter, with just a few hours to study Peter's planned presentation and make it his own.
But the hundreds of architects in attendance had nothing to fear. Calabro gave a thoughtful talk that took us inside Bohlin Cywinski Jackson. He told us the firm has made a strong commitment to keeping houses in the mix of its many project types. That way, he said, "we're able to infuse our larger buildings with some of [the houses'] qualities."
Calabro showed a series of photos and hand drawings of BCJ's work to illustrate different philosophical points. The firm's own San Francisco office space--one of five around the country--demonstrates its ability to deliver powerful spaces using modest materials. Images of a visitor's center at Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming showcase its skill at mixing rustic elements with a modern design. The house BCJ did for Bill Gates (in collaboration with Jim Cutler, FAIA) provided an entree for Calabro to talk about sustainability, noting the home's rainwater-harvesting system, its recycled woods, its senstitive siting, even its rebuilt salmon estuary. "It's worth going the extra mile to push for something you believe in," he says. "Often [the client] will thank you for it."
Other homes featured in Calabro's presentation illustrated the firm's passion for designing door handles, hardware, and other residential accoutrements; for celebrating the found conditions on the site and often working them into the design; and for obsessing over the technical rigor of its buildings. His final slide showed a photo of Bohlin and two other BCJ employees--getting across the idea that each project is a group effort. "We believe that collaboration is really at the heart of what we do," Calabro says. "We are much better together than any of us could be alone."

The lawyer who represents Humber Valley Resort says what the provincial government did when it took back Crown land initially meant to expand the resort is worse than the province's expropriation of the former Abitibi paper mill in Grand Falls-Windsor.
In April, Graham Watton, the resort's legal counsel whose wife is one of the resort's owners, filed a statement of claim against the province in the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador on behalf of 61839 Newfoundland and Labrador Ltd., the numbered company which now operates the resort on the north side of the Lower Humber River.
The resort was purchased by the company in March 2010 after the original owner — Humber Valley Resort Corporation — had gone bankrupt in December 2008.
The purchase did not only include the physical assets of the resort property, said Watton, but also the less tangible aspects such as outstanding claims, demands, contractual rights or any causes of action associated with the property sale.
Prior to being declared bankrupt, the resort's former owners had been granted protection under the Companies Creditors Arrangement Act by the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador.
This involved the court issuing a stay of proceedings order, effectively freezing any rights of any creditors and shareholders involved with the resort.
Stay of proceedings extended
The stay of proceedings was initially in effect from Sept. 5, 2008 to Oct. 6, 2008, but was later extended by the court to Dec. 5, 2008.
The provincial government filed a proof of claim against the bankrupt Humber Valley Resort Corporation on Dec. 1, 2008. In that, the government said it was owed $210,082 under the Expansion Lease Purchase Agreement for the period between Aug. 1, 2008 and Oct. 1, 2008.
The Expansion Lease Purchase Agreement was the deal formally entered into by the province and the resort in 2005. Its terms and conditions were that the resort would pay the province nearly $6.4 million in the next five years for the purchase of around 2,000 acres of adjacent Crown land to be used to further expand the resort.
In addition to the purchase price, which was considered to be fair market value for the land at the time, the resort also agreed to pay the province a six per cent premium on the future sale of lots within the expanded resort.
In the proof of claim filed Dec. 1, 2008, the province also terminated the Expansion Lease Purchase Agreement.
Watton said the provincial government's actions amount to defiance of the Supreme Court's order for a stay of proceedings. In the statement of claim Watton has filed with the court, he said government's actions were "political, punitive and self-serving.
"To me, it's slimy and sleazy ... I think somebody should be made accountable," he said.
Watton said what the province is alleged to have done is worse than the mistake government admitted it made when it expropriated the Abitibi paper mill property in Grand Falls-Windsor in 2008, which has since left the province with a legal and environmental cleanup bill in the vicinity of $140 million.
"There's no mistake made by government here," said Watton. "It's not like the Abitibi situation where government admitted they made a mistake. This was planned. This was premeditated. This was deliberate. This was calculated."
Defying a court order to get the land back, added Watton, is a serious matter.
"The provincial government is just another creditor in all of this, so why should they rank in priority over any of the other creditors?"
Watton said the new owners of the resort have no interest in getting the land back and expanding the resort further, but have launched the lawsuit to point out what it feels was an unethical and illegal decision to ensure no one got their hands on the undeveloped property or unsold lots adjacent to the resort.
As of Dec. 5, 2008, 71 lots had been sold on the expansion property. There are still 575 hectares left in the ungranted expansion land.
The resort is seeking $170 million in relief and damages from the province. That number includes $125 million for the fair market value of the purchase agreement and the ungranted lands, $40 million for the alleged decreased value of the assets existing at Humber Valley Resort and an additional $5 million in punitive and exemplary damages the resort claims have resulted from the alleged bad faith of the provincial government.
The Western Star requested an interview with officials from the provincial government regarding the lawsuit. No interview was granted, but an emailed response attributed to Attorney General Felix Collins was sent. The message acknowledged the government had been served with a copy of the statement of claim April 25.
"Solicitors with the Department of Justice are currently assessing the claim and a statement of defence will be prepared," read the email. "None of the allegations in the statement of claim have been proven in court.
"I am unable to comment any further at this time as this issue moves its way through the legal process."

Ahhh. The cooler days are finally upon us. With the leaves falling and Thanksgiving on the way, we felt compelled to give our Masonite doors a little lift. So we talked to Atlanta-based designer Gay Pennell Payne for a number of tips. Through her company, DIY Decorating Plan, Payne teaches clients to add fun and attractive touches to their homes—and how to do it themselves. Much of that, of course, comes down to doors. Payne proclaims she's "a door person." As she tells it: "I love doors. I love French doors. I love unique doors. On my Pinterest page, I actually have a section called "Door Love," because doors, to me, are the introduction to your home. They say so much about you and your personality. Whenever I see a really cool door, I always think that there must be a really cool person living inside that house, because they've taken the time to think about the first impression they're showing to the world." We couldn't agree more.
We know that entry doors sell the home, and decorating that door is a tremendous part of that first impression. One of the biggest trends Payne is seeing at the moment is the showing of team spirit—especially in gung-ho college towns. "From hound's tooth hats for Crimson Tide to hanging pendants that show school spirit, sports memorabilia is everywhere." Burlap is big, too, she adds. This inexpensive fabric works wonderfully outdoors, because it wears well in all weather and comes in a range of vibrant colors. Browns and oranges are big for autumn and, as Payne explains crafty folks are using it to create shapes like footballs or pumpkins to adhere to their front doors as adorable ornaments.
Crisp autumn days invite a host of new decorating inspirations. Fall foliage is a given—think leaves, grape vines, pumpkins, mums, autumn wreaths, corn husks and corn cobs. But as Payne points out, you can venture far beyond that. "There's a big trend happening right now, and it's all about returning to our roots and the industrial age," she notes, offering a couple suggestions for jumping on that bandwagon: Hang garden tools on the door to tribute a time of harvest. Fill a Mason jar with natural elements gathered in the yard, and place an electric tea light inside to set the scheme aglow. Your neighbors will be dazzled. If you're out of ideas, just visit the art store. Grab a glue gun to take home, and you'll be surprised by all you can accomplish. One example Payne loves? Little banners spanning your entryway that spell out family surnames or phrases such as "Happy Fall or Happy Autumn."

Kids these days. Every one of them has a cell phone, and none of them seem to be able to peel their eyes off the screen. Multitasking is great and all, but maybe not replying to your email while crossing the street would have saved you the embarrassment of walking straight into that signpost, eh? At one time I had the brilliant idea to walk around recording people accidentally running into things… but alas, Google has already thwarted my evil scheme with their latest update to the voice search app.
Voice search has always been one of my favorite features, and the new version made me fall in love all over again. First off, if you don't have your phone set to automatically update your applications, you may need to go to the android market for a manual update. Click on your menu, then market, and when you get there enter "voice search" in the search bar. Click on voice search, and there should be an option to update – that is, if you do not currently have the latest version. After the download is complete, go back to your home screen.
You can either enter voice search through the applications menu, via a shortcut on your homescreen (if you've set one up), or by holding the magnifying glass icon on your phone. After a few seconds a window should pop up. When you see the microphone just tell the phone what you want.
Here are some of the voice commands you can use:
Text – send text to (recipient) (message) – example: send text to John Jones Can you pick me up a hoagie?
Email –send email to (recipient) (subject) (body) – example: send email to Todd Evans, Bowling, We need an extra bowler this Saturday.
Directions – navigate to (location) – example: navigate to Worldstart headquarters
Place calls – call (contact) (phone type)– example: call Andrea Fufaro mobile
Listen to Music – listen to (artist/song/album) – example: Listen to Cake, Mexico, Prolonging the Magic
Note to self – note to self (note) – example: Note to self pick up dog food on the way home
Search Google – (query) – example: Pickles
Open Website – go to (website) – example: go to Worldstart.com
View a map – view map of (location) – example: view map of New Orleans
Another way to use your android without taking your eyes of the road, sidewalk, your date, etc., is to use the accessibility services on your phone. These settings: Talkback, Kickback, and Soundback, were designed to help the visually impaired. Talkback will tell you what screen your phone is on and what applications you are opening. Kickback uses haptic responses – that's fancy talk for vibrations – and Soundback does the same using sound effects to let you know what your fingers are doing without ever having to look down. If you want to activate any or all of these service just click menu>settings>accessibility>turn on accessibility and chose the services you would like active.
There you have it! You can now email while alert, get directions without taking your eyes off the sidewalk ahead, and browse without bumping your nose.

Arrival: March 7 - 14
The flight from Halifax to Montego Bay was on-time and uneventful. If I have one complaint about the entire vacation, it would be the partially cooked chinese noodles I received for a meal aboard Air Transat. Gross. LOL. We arrived at the hotel at approximately 11:00 pm on the 7th and were greeted by delicious rum punch and a friendly helpful manager, Leon. Check-in was extremely quick, and within 20 minutes of arrival we were situated in our rooms.
The rooms are open, spacious and ALWAYS clean. They may not be as luxurious as some are accustomed to, but for travellers like myself, who spend only enough time in the room to shower and get minimal sleep, it's perfect! All of the rooms face the ocean and offer TERRIFIC views of the sunset/sunrise. A must see!
Restaurants and Bars
I didn't take the time to eat at the a la carte restaurant, as I don't like time restrictions when I'm on vacation, but I heard nothing but good things. I believe Jamaican fusion dishes are served at two sittings, 6:30 and 8:30. The main buffet style restaurant always had something I would eat (and I'm extremely picky). May not be the selection many are used to at larger resorts, but the food was decent and edible (breakfast omelettes are DELICIOUS). The snack bar located near the beach serves dishes such as pizza, fries, hotdogs, hamburgers and jerk wings. I usually ate the pizza or wings, but heard the hotdogs and burgers were delicious.
Grounds are always immaculate. Groundskeepers are CONSTANTLY sweeping, painting etc. Vegetation is lush.
Activities on and off the Resort/Hotel
The entertainment staff are amazing. They work really hard to ensure that guests stay involved. I spent most of my days near the heart of the action...on the matresses in front of the beach bar (where the entertainers hold activities during the day) and every single one of them knew me by name by the first day. They are amazing people who work very long hours and many have had difficult lives. Make sure to remember them when tipping...they work very hard for very little pay. Nighttime entertainment is usually fun. The beach party was a riot. The Jah Messengers had us all dancing for hours. The in-house band is amazing as well. And again, the entertainment staff work REALLY hard to get everybody involved and up dancing.
As for tours, I didn't get to do as much as I wanted, but Ziplining was awesome. I did the shopping tour for $10.00. It was def worth the ten bucks, but took a little too long for my liking. All I really wanted to do was see Montego Bay. But for ten dollars who can complain.
Other Comments
I absolutely LOVED the Royal Decameron. Don't let it's 3.5 star rating fool you. It may not be a 5 star resort, but it's charm and "small-town" feeling far makes up for its lack of over the top luxury. It only holds approximately 300-350 guests...it's really easy to meet other vacationers and get to know the staff (aka REAL jamaica) on a personal level. Everything is always clean and tidy..and has been updated. I am planning a return trip in either June for my birthday or for New Years '10. So far I have had no luck finding anybody who wants to go, but I would feel completely comfortable traveling to this resort alone, and am confident I would meet some more awesome people and have, yet again, the best time of my life!!!! So here's to my return trip to the Decameron, whether alone or with friends, I WILL be back before the end of the year. I will be very impatiently counting down the days till I can watch the beautiful sunset again off my balcony

Arrival: October, 2009
We flew Air Transat from Toronto on September 26, 2009. The flight was on time and uneventful and arrived 1/2 hour early. The attendants were polite and friendly and served complimentary non-alcoholic drinks and a light hot meal during the flight, i.e. a small box of Chinese food. Be prepared for a delay clearing customs in Jamaica. The flight home on October 3, 2009 was similar. Movies were shown on both flights. The planes were Air Bus 310. Jamaica is in the Central Time Zone, 1 hour earlier than Toronto.
Check in around 4p.m. was quick and easy. On checking in, you are given a wristband, which you surrender when checking out, and a towel card to get beach towels from the dive shop. Don't lose your wristband or towel card or you pay to replace them. The same with keys, which are $50.00 if lost. The room was ready and a bell boy took our luggage for us.
We stayed in room 414 in the 4 storey main building. The building has one small elevator and two sets of stairs. Our room was on the fourth floor and had a large balcony, king bed, bedside tables, radio, 4 piece bathroom, large closet, TV, table and 2 chairs. The wall facing the Caribbean is wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling windows and balcony doors. There was a plastic table and 2 chairs on the balcony. Use of the safe is $2 per night. The floors are ceramic tiles and the room condition was clean and in good repair. The water pressure in the shower was adequate and there was no problem with water temperature. The housekeeping staff came every day and replaced towels and bedding as required and provided a large bottle of water every day. The resort provides soap and shampoo as required. We had some small ants visiting our bathroom but the cleaning staff sprayed them and that solved the problem, which really wasn't a problem for us.
Restaurants and Bars:
The main restaurant is buffet style. There is also an "a la carte" style restaurant and a beach grill near the pool. The food at all restaurants was very good and lots of variety in the buffet. The "a la carte" restaurant features Jamaican cuisine, so it is closed on Monday and Friday when Jamaican cuisine is the theme in the buffet restaurant. The "a la carte" has 6:30pm and 8:30pm sittings and has a casual elegance dress code, which means shirts with sleeves but did not require long pants for men. Reservations are required for the "a la carte" restaurant and are made in the buffet restaurant on a same day basis. We had lunch twice at the beach grill and the food was good but the service was a bit slow, even though it wasn't busy. The wings were my favourite. For some reason, they have a girl who comes to the table to take your order when it seems like it would be easier to go to the counter to place an order. The buffet restaurant was open 7-10:30 for breakfast, 12-2:30 f! or lunch and 7-9:30 for dinner. There was a different theme for dinner each night, such as BBQ, Asian, Italian and Jamaican. There were plenty of hot and cold dishes, fruit, breads, and desserts to chose from. The beach grill is open 12-5pm and 11pm-1am. All in all, we were very happy with the food. The staff in the buffet was very friendly and attentive. The house wines were as good as we would have at home. A nice trio of older Jamaican men, the Mento Band, entertain near the buffet restaurant most days at lunch and dinner.
The main outside bar is located between the buffet and "a la carte" restaurants and adjacent to the entertainment stage. There is also a bar in the lobby, but it never seemed to be very busy. There is also a swim-up bar by the pool which is open from 10am-5pm and later if there are evening activities on the main beach. The bar staff are very friendly and the mixed drinks are well prepared. There is Red Stripe on draft. There is also a bar in the disco that is open when the disco is in operation after 11p.m.
The property faces westerly. There are a series of 6 piers that project into the water and break up the ocean front. At the far north end of the property there is a small beach and swimming area. Immediately to the north of the property is a public beach that is very popular with the locals from as early as 5:45am to well after midnight. The north pier is covered with chain link fence and razor wire to stop intruders. In the middle of the property, in front of the main outside bar, there is a larger swimming area with loungers. This is a well used area because there is a great snorkeling area within 30 feet of the shoreline. The non-motorized water craft are available at the north side of this middle area. This includes pedal boats, kayaks and a Hobie. The entrance to the water near the water craft is a little rocky but the area a few feet south of there is quite sandy. It is best not to walk into the water near the rocky areas as you might bump into a sea urchin. Sticking to the sand is much better. Heading further south there is a large area referred to as the main beach which again has many loungers and canopes, but has no actual place to walk into the water. There is 2 water trampolines and 2 sunning platforms in the water, and some comfortable cushions to lie on at water's edge. Further south still, at the south end of the property, there is a large beach area with loungers and you can walk into the water in this area, but it is extremely shallow close to shore. The water was generally crystal clear and comfortably warm without feeing like a bathtub. The entire water area of the property is contained within buoys for safety. All along the buoys are coral reefs and plant growth and an abundance of colourful fish to see with a mask and snorkel, or even from the end of a pier. There are 2 pools near the south end of the main beach and a jacuzzi near the main outside bar. Pool activities included volleyball and aqua aerobics. Sneak a peak into the vegetation area immediately south of the lower pool if you dare. There was always music playing at the pools. The jacuzzi was hardly used and is restricted to 18 and over.
The property is beautiful and clean. Every morning, the staff are out sweeping all the walkways, raking the beaches, touching up paint, and just keeping the place looking great. There are many trees and colourful flowers. I was surprised not to see more wildlife, three chameleons and a few birds, mainly a small black bird that frequented the restaurant and a white bird that joined us for lunch on our last day. All the buildings were in top notch shape. As the airport is only a mile or so north of this resort, there is a constant parade of planes flying across the ocean in front of the property. The main port of Montego Bay lies to the south of the resort, so we saw several cruise ships arriving and departing. For security, the entrance to the property is gated and a guard is posted and the perimeter of the property is surrounded by 8 foot high cement walls with broken glass cemented into the top of the wall. There is an constant obvious security presence and we felt very safe at all times. There is a nurse on duty from 8-5.
Activities on and off the Resort/Hotel:
There was really too much going on to give it justice. There were many activities in the pools and main beach area during the day and 2 hours of nightly entertainment at the outdoor stage. The entertainment staff, Zulu, Chris, Sunshine and Happy, are high energy and try to get the guests involved. Some of the entertainment is more adult oriented and not really suitable for pre-teen age children. In addition to a band and lively dancing, there is some historical and cultural content to the enetertainment most nights.
There are many tours available to chose from, but we didn't take any. We talked to people who went on the Ocho Rios and Dunn's River Falls tour and they said it was very long and tiring. There were a constant stream of catamarans cruising past the resort taking people out further to snorkel but they also seemed to be more party boats. To each his own. We ventured out onto the Hip Strip on 2 occasions. Go right after leaving the front gate. The Strip offers some souvenir shopping and entertainment spots. The people on the street can be a bit annoying, especially the lady who kept following us and wanted to "socialize". Our favourite places to shop where Memories and Strawberries, both within 5 minutes of the resort. There is a very quaint cemetary on the right within 2 minutes after you start walking down the street. It is about a 10 minute walk to Marguerittaville, with lots to see along the way. All the places we stopped into advertised prices in US$ and were prepared to haggle. The current exchange rate was US$1=JAM$85.
Other Comments:
Check out was 12 noon and the bus left for the airport at 2:00. We were allowed to have lunch on the day of departure so the wait for the bus was not that long. A bell boy comes to get your luggage just before noon and stores it in a secure area until the bus arrives. The only negative about checkout is that the staff ask you to complete a questionaire at the counter while people wait in line behind you. There should be a better way, perhaps delivering the questionaire to your room that morning so it can be completed in advance.
In conclusion, this resort must be the best kept secret in the Caribbean. For the value you receive, why would you go anywhere else? We had great weather, sunny and low 30s during the day but usually a breeze. We had a ripper of a storm on Thursday evening that closed the outside bar at 9:30pm and cancelled the entertainment. While this is not an adult-only resort, there are no children's activities other than swimming. The majority of vacationers appeared to be travelling as couples or groups of singles. This is my second trip to Royal Decameron Montego Beach. We will return to Royal Decameron Montego Beach again in the near future, probably on an annual basis.

There was never a dull or unpleasant moment at the Royal decamron the property and its workers were grounded in excellence they kept and d it well.
Form the front desk area to aroma linked with the kitchen; this is almost island natured resort. Everyone was warm, helpful and charming.
It was captivating the entertainment on par thanks to well -coordinated entertainment crew shout out to happy sunshine and the gang
Dorrel did well in the food service department and so did the gym instructor at the gym
In short its a Paradise on Paradise Island and its goes to show the originals area still te best

This hotel was wonderful. It is rated 3 1/2 stars but deserves better. The resort is beautiful in appearance, it has a lovely span of beach, its 3 minutes away from the airport and has good shopping within walking distance. Other 5 stars are rated only for the beauty of the building. I looked at them and they were in bad locations or did not have a nice beach. The staff at Decameron were amazing. They are full of warmth and are so helpful. They try their best to make your stay perfect. The food and drink are endless and taste great, there is always some fun activity to partake in, the resort is well cleaned and properly maintained. My only complaint is that the check out system needs to be revised. Check out is at noon, but if your flight is late afternoon and onwards they have courtesy rooms that to be booked and provided on the departure day, however they were prebooked for incoming guests who did not have rooms as yet. If you want to stay in your hotel room , there is an additional charge of $25 US per person. Other than that everything was perfect!! I will definitely return soon!

just got back from the royal decamron montego beach, The weather was great hotel was in a great position on the beach, sea was as clear as you could only dream off. talking to people who has taken up 0ffers to move to a five star free of charge and then returning back to decamron because the decamron was so much better. the only comments i have are take American dollars as this is the only currency wanted, maybe the one mistake we made was not tipping when we got there and so are service was not great. if/when you are offered drugs just say no thanks and that s the end of it.

My wife and i stayed here end of january for one week. the place was exceptionally clean every day, even our rooms. but i found it too be a retired couples resort. entertainment was alright if you like drinking games but not much after that. nightly entertainment was olright if you had nothing else too do. food was good but limited selection. your choice of chicken, fish, pork, or beef almost every night. one night a week you might get turkey, lamb, or goat. after that. the usual. the beach was the most dissapointing. very small and you couldn't go out too far before hittiing rocks. no chance for going for a walk along the beach as they hav either end blocked off so you can't cross too another resorts beach. weather was good all week. staff, half of the will speak too you, other half you might get a hello if your lucky. no bar fridges in the rooms so you can't even keep a cold jug of water anywhere and they do not provide a cleenex box. you must buy one if you want any. 3 star maximum for me. if you are retired and want a quiet resort. this one might work for you.

Nice place, great staff, food is okay, well kept facility. Would have been just about perfect except for the large group of co-ed (soft in the head) baseball players from western Canada. They seemed to think the hotel was their personal retreat. Bullied the hotel into opening the pool bar late at night (closing time was 5:00 pm), then proceeded to yell and scream like a bunch of total idiots ( these were not college kids but supposed adults in their late 20's to 40's). They had the hotel's sound system cranked way up. It was shaking the glass in our patio doors. This happened for two nights I was there, each night there were numerous complaints filed with management. Thank god I'm home now (the idiot noise makers are still there). I am not some old fuddy-duddy, I can party with anyone, but I would have been embarassed to be part of that group. Say what you want about loud Quebecers or ugly Americans, they are nothing compared to the a-holes from B.C.

Im a avid traveller go to 2 or 3 all Inclusives per year, The flight from Toronto to Montego Bay was on-time and uneventful, Transfer from airport to hotel was less than 5mins, We arrived at the hotel at approximately 11:00 pm on the 2nd. Check-in was extremely quick, but had to wait 3hrs for a room, had shorts & sandles in our carry on so changed and drank @ the bar till our room was ready, no big deal. The food was pretty good & tasty..about 1000 times better than the food in Cuba! They have 2 pools one with swim up bar..The beach is little patches of sand between 3 piers kinda sucks..But it was cheap so can't complain, Drinks & Weather and ppl were great so had a good time.
The best part of the trip was Golfing, I found this cheap golf course owned & operated by local rich Jamaicans,less than 10min drive, A round of golf in Jamaica usually cost From $100 to $250 per round, Ironshore Golf & Country Club Cost $50 that Included Cart,caddy Pickup & return to hotel , I golfed 5 out of 7 days The last round the owner gave me for free, good people great times..Get the tour lady to call for a pickup for you 876 953 3681, 876 953 8628

I stayed at this hotel from August 12,2012 for seven days. I had a very relaxing time - although it was a bit awkward travelling solo. By far, the staff in the dining room were very cheerful, helpful and attentive. The same cannot be said for the from desk staffing as I felt some to be rather arrogant and rude. The room was beautiful and very clean and the cleanliness of the dining room was exceptional- - 5 star for cleanliness, and hygiene. Being a vegan, I was surprized at the variety of food to accomodate my lifestyle.
Although not a drinker, the non-alcoholic choices were great The only suggestion that I would give is to engage each guest equally.........I will certainly be visiting this hotel in the future!!!and I would recommend this establishment for a 'first time experience of Jamaica!!!

The hotel is absolutely beautiul and the grounds and beaches are great!

Through 23 games, Florida is proving to be as good a 3-point shooting team as it was last season.
A concern for Florida heading into 2012-13 season was how the Gators would make up for the perimeter scoring lost from Erving Walker and Bradley Beal.
But through 23 games, Florida is proving to be as good a 3-point shooting team as it was last season.
The Gators finished the 2011-12 season shooting 38 percent from 3-point range on 9.6 3-pointers per game. This season, Florida leads the Southeastern Conference in 3-point shooting at 38.9 percent heading into its matchup Saturday at Auburn. Florida also is making an SEC-high 8.7 3-pointers per game.
"I'm always looking at the kind of shots we're getting," Florida coach Billy Donovan said. "I think Erik Murphy, Mike Rosario, Mike Frazier, Kenny Boynton, Scottie Wilbekin, when those guys are open and they've got their feet set and they've got their legs under them, I feel confident with our team taking those kind of shots." The 6-foot-10 Murphy is leading the SEC in 3-point shooting accuracy at 49 percent (49-of-100). Murphy has had the green light from Donovan since his sophomore season. His ability to knock down long-range shots from the power forward spot opens up driving lanes for his teammates. "I just try to shoot when I'm open, when I feel like I have a shot," Murphy said. "If I don't, coach gets mad. Same with everybody. If somebody is open and they pass up a shot, he wants us to shoot when we have open shots. So I think everyone is taking good shots." While Boynton (33.6 percent from 3-point range) has struggled this season, the Gators have received a lift from the freshman Frazier (47.1 percent from beyond the arc) off the bench. Wilbekin (38.6 percent from 3-point range) and Rosario (36.7 percent) also have proven to be capable 3-point shooters. "We've got a lot of guys who can shoot the ball," Murphy said. "We brought some of those guys back (from last season). We've got Frazier, who is a pretty good shooter. Guys can hit open shots on our team. I'm not worried about that. I've got confidence in everybody." Another key to UF's SEC-leading 3-point accuracy has been better shot selection and recognition of opposing defenses. "We're just trying to move the ball, share it, and whoever has the open shot, just take it," Murphy said. "Whoever is open, we want them to shoot whenever we have a chance." Donovan said an example of Florida's recognition of defense happened in UF's most recent two home games. The Gators took 26 3-point attempts against Mississippi State, while taking only 14 3-pointers against Kentucky. "Kentucky's gameplan clearly was to take away the 3-point line, and I think when teams take away something from you, you better recognize what's open in other places," Donovan said. "If we take 50 3-point shots that are open and good, I have no problem taking 50 of them, but to take shots that are not good shots, not quality shots, you are wasting possessions." Donovan felt the higher number of 3-point attempts against Mississippi State was justified because the Bulldogs were packing the defense inside to take away junior center Patric Young. "The big thing for me is our guys recognizing what's open, what's available and what shots are these guys more apt to knock down and make when they get a good look," Donovan said. "And when they do that, they need to take those shots." Contact Kevin Brockway at 352-374-5054 or email@example.com. Also check out Brockway's blog at Gatorsports.com.

After navigating to the default location of the admin panel, the attacker is able to test out the acquired admin credentials. As a result the attacker now has full control over the blog software (as well as access to the database). The attacker notices that file uploads have been disabled. However instead of enabling them (as well as altering the allowed file types), the attacker opts to edit an un-used plugin instead. The justification of this is once the file has been edited, it's automatically removed from the plugin list so it is less obvious than altered settings which the attacker believes the admin would notice before wanting to enable the plugin again. Also the attacker believes there is a higher chance the admin will check the upload folder rather than checking the files in the plugin folder to the plugin list. The attacker chooses the plugin "textile 1" to replace. Editor's note: Instead of overwriting the file, it could be possible to amend the code at the end, leaving the existing functionality intact.
"php-reverse-shell" by pentest monkey is an interactive shell which is spawned when the PHP code is executed. The attacker copies the contents of the file and pastes it over the plugin. They then update the shell to have the attacker's IP address and a different port. Upon saving the updated plugin with the modified web shell code, when the attacker checks the list of plugins, they discover it has been removed (which also means they are unable to edit the file any more). As the nature is a reverse connection, the attacker needs to have a listener waiting on the same port to catch the request from the web shell when the PHP function is called from the target. The attacker sets up "netcat" to be the listener and then triggers their plugin. The attacker is then able to interact with the target with a command line interface running as the same permission as the web server.
The attacker now tries to escape privileges in-which to gain higher level of access into the system. One common method is by exploiting the kernel (ONLY if it is vulnerable!). The attacker finds the current kernel version out and again searches their local copy exploit-db. The attacker discovers a potential exploit that could work with the kernel version. The attacker checks that the exploit code doesn't contain any 'non-code' which would stop the file from compiling, then copies a version to their local web root folder, remove the 'non-code', gives permission to the file to make sure every user has access to the file and then starts a web server.
Controlling the target the attacker locates a folder which they have the permission to write to and execute files from. Upon entering such a path the attacker instructs the target to download the exploit code from the attacker and compile it. After executing the exploit the attacker has now got root access to the target. They then move to the root's personal home folder to locate & view the "key" file which was mentioned in the message at the start of the attack.
Game over
Upon exploring the rest of the file system, the attacker also noticed other 'sensitive' data on the target's machine. For example, bash commands which had been perversity been entered as root by another user earlier, as well as deleted files which were in the trash folder that hasn't yet been removed.
Game over...again!

- Some mistakes in the video are more obvious.
- Instead of using "php-reverse-shell" & "netcat", "PHP Meterpreter" & "Metasploit" could of been used.
- The selection area to record was no in align when I recorded it
- It is worth downloading wordpress to be familiar with a default configuration.

A 41-year-old Sandy man was in critical condition Tuesday morning, just hours after he lost control of his speeding car on an Interstate 215 curve and crashed near 6200 South.
Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Ted Tingey said witnesses estimated the man was driving "well in excess of 100 mph," and possibly as fast as 140 mph, when his southbound Audi A4-2 careened into the median and struck a barrier wall at 12:58 a.m. Tuesday.
The driver, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected into the northbound lanes; his car came to a rest on the southbound side of the wall.
The driver, who was suspected of driving while intoxicated, was taken by ambulance to the hospital and reportedly underwent surgery early Tuesday morning.
No other vehicles were involved in the accident.
UHP closed down lanes in both directions for several hours while they investigated and wreckage was cleared.
