A customer called me out because he could not get to a website. I found a vbe in the start up folder and decided to take a look inside. I downloaded a decrypt script off the internet and decrypted the script.
I didn't understand all that it was doing but I noted were it was making a ssh connection to and the user name and password it was connecting with.
So grabbing a copy of putty i tried connected to this address and the login was correct. It was a ubuntu computer, so when I typed users to see who was on there was a screen full of computer connections.
Oh how I wished I knew some commands to take this box down, or out.
The only one I could think of was sudo shutdown -t1 now. But of course I was not in the sudo group.
It was kind of weird to be on the enemy's server and not being able to do anything about it.

One thing to keep in mind is that if you counterattack on another system you may be held liable for any damage as most of us live in countries with cyber crime laws. As a general rule you don't want to take malicious action back, if you have evidence that a crime has occured/is occuring provide what you have to law enforcement and step away. While it may be gratifying to fight back it is rarely the best thing to do and could have unexpected consequences.
May 4, 2010 at 1:09 UTC
I would agree with Justin 110%... other than in my experience the local law enforcement doesn't know what to do with such information. But legally the best thing to do would be to walk away and report the issue.

I know,I know. It is just my nature. I have had to explain to one of my users that launching a virus in to the wild and aiming it in the general direction of spammers falls under the bad idea category too.
May 6, 2010 at 1:00 UTC
So how do I blow the whistle on this server?
I used centralops.net to see some more information about this computer.
The domain name is on Dyndns so the ip can change.
I sent an email to the abuse line on the current hosted ip.
We will see how it goes.
May 6, 2010 at 1:17 UTC
It might be worth sending an email to DynDns's abuse center... (I would assume they have one). If there is a website at this hostname/ip I would flag it with firefox fraud system, mcafee siteadvisor.com, trusted sources (http:/
Make it known so others don't get bit by this douche...
May 6, 2010 at 1:21 UTC
Hey Chris, can you sent me the address and the login ID? I'm free this weekend and up for a fight.
May 15, 2010 at 12:50 UTC
Well I sent an email to the ISP. Telling them how to find the server and to take them out/ punish them.
They said:
I have disabled this server and shall ask the user to deal with this issue.
Kind regards
How nice to ask a virus proliferator to stop.
Anyways the server is backup and busy as ever...
So I have sicked a warewolf on them....

May 17, 2010 at 5:36 UTC
came back in 40 minutes, but some stuff disappeared from the FS this time, effectively locking everyone out of the thing. No more root access as well as any other user for that mattter.
edit: for those who are not paying attention, yes I deleted the sh*t, on purpose to keep the victims out.
May 18, 2010 at 9:25 UTC
Reading Justin's comments regarding counter-attack reminds me that years ago there was a product called LaBrei (after the tarpits), that did just that. Basically the way it worked was that if someone hacked into your system, and it sensed it, it would launch a counter attack using several different tools (Ping of Death, and such). The maker of the product eventually pulled it because some high court ruled that it was indeed a hacking tool.
I'd wanted to try it at the time, but I was actually more concerned that it would sense something innocent from within my own network, and do something that would bring my network to it's knees.
May 18, 2010 at 9:33 UTC
That is why I have a copy of Backtrack. Wink!
May 18, 2010 at 5:26 UTC
OMG, this is the KENNY server! I swear I killed Kenny!
It came back up at 6:00pm on the nose. This is an auto restored data collector.
Dude, you have to send me a copy of that decrypted script. Hell send me the encrypted one too. We need to take this off the thread for a while and them post a case study of sorts.
Jun 7, 2010 at 2:14 UTC
After monitoring and documenting this guy for a few weeks now, I was able to determine this was a turnkey LAMP appliance running Ubuntu. It was not being used for legitimate purposes and the mail server component was tuned off. After his root was PNWed he learned and shored up his security, and I learned that the appliance boots read only but then applies OS updates making exploints a bit harder, but we still had the same access that his little encrypted script had.
I decided that rather than trying to gain root again I would try and bring the Human to the Konsole. I found that I had write access to his data drive in the tmp directory so I uploaded 6 GB of a PBS kids show to it and then just kept duplicating it until the drive filled. I checked once or twice a day and made sure the drive STAYED filled. Today the box disapeared. I guess his little experiment failed. This was definately a box parked on an IP Address that did not belong to them.
I have taken a new interest in things like this and am going to start hunting boxes like this for fun and sport.
Many thanks to Chris for identifying the bad guy script and have the forsight to decode it.
I also just relaized that the domain may pop up again under a different IP since it was dynamic so I'll be watching for this one.
Jun 7, 2010 at 2:52 UTC
Ok, going on the assumption that the dynamic ip was going to change i looked for it by domain name and sure enough it did. The name of the server also changed from something sounding script kiddie ish to something sounding like the kid needs a job instead of considering joining the military.
The fellow obviously reloaded everything to undo my damages.
Round three..... DING - DING!
Ths time I am going to steal his SQL database and find out what he's collecting.
Hope he enjoyed the Super Y episodes. Next time I think I'll send him Shreck 1,2 and 3.
Jun 8, 2010 at 6:09 UTC
After posting an update, I made another discovery that changed everything.
The guy reloaded his machine, (maybe he didn't care for Super Y) and that forced a change in IP address, most likely by his residential ISP, and his dynamic DNS service responded accordingly.
The fact he reloaded that fast told me he did not care enough to find out where the breach happened, what they put there, how they got in or nuthin'.
He has changed the name of the server from "darkcloudss" to "marines". This prompted me to reinspect the hosts file.
He added a FQDN for the server as marines.war3.com , which as of yet is not a responding location on the internet.
Note to self: See if anyone registers this or has tried..
I googled for a while and made a correlation with these terms: marines, war3, LAMP, ubuntu linux.
The thing they had in common was "Warcraft 3" , but not strongly. I felt like Sherlock Holmes himself for making that stretch, but dismissed it as my imagination.
I decided to proceed with my evil plan for getting ahold of the SQL database. I found a reference in the LAMP docs to a default connection script with a location for a stored user name. I found the script and the user name was there and was "mysql" with no password. I was able to connect after some trial, the key to which was specify the host as 127.0.0.1 ,but I could not get a list of database names without trickery, so Once again off to RTFM..... The docs said there would be a port opened and a graphical web interface would be there for mysql in php. The port was not where it was documented so docs in hand I asked the network interface what was where and found this gem on port 12322 .
It wasn't there before when I port scanned his ass, so I assume he failed to shut it off after the reload. That means I didn't have to use any hard tricks to query for database and table names.
Using it I found there where no sql databases defined other than the initial security/schema and no users either.
There was no SQL DATA!!
Mail services have always seemed to be offline and still are.
Disk space usage is consitantly minimal.
The Sysop is displaying a serious desire to run Linuz by using a LAMP.
The Sysop has some skills as a security admin, but seems not too concerned as to close every door, and no desire to persue attackers so I assume not a pro.
I suspect that I am hacking up someones private Warcraft 3 chatroom/game server.
I don't play, but it seems to be popular to run it on Linux. I even found reference to using Turnkey LAMP systems because they are more friendly to those who don't know enough Linux to secure it. I will look more into how I can prove this theory but the evidence is pointing me to this idea pretty hard.
The high number of users attached may be nothing but chatters/players and not victims.
I asked for stats on eth0 and I can't seem to determine how many packets/sec should be normal so it is just a number for now, still pondering it.
Looks like operation "Bring the Human to the Konsole" was a complete success and yielded much info. I have learned much about his behavior as I have watched the changes he has , or has not, made after every poke in the ribs I give 'em. Good Times!
The fact you found a malicious seeming, encrypted script with these credentials means at one point this system was the center of some form of malicious activity, but I am thinking that this box is breachable by anyone with a manual and some intent if only seriously for a temporary time. The script is likely a remnant from a such remotely orchestrated attack.
I will send another update as I get them.
Jun 11, 2010 at 8:02 UTC
I am uploading a txt file with my analysis of the script that Chris was awesome enough to track down and provide for us.
Jun 12, 2010 at 1:38 UTC
After scanning many of the victim IPs, a common footprint emerged.
Every one of these systems has an Identical Footprint, that of a mail server with all mail related protocols enabled.
Using telnet, attempts to get the mailserver to respond on port 25 failed. You connect, but it has nothing to say. Had the feel of a mail server that sends only.
This is a spam-bot. The server we have been logging into sends the bots thier work.
Well, Now I can rest.
Still got to make him go away.
Blocking port 2103 on your routers will stop the script from it's first call home if you guys are looking for a quick fix. Looks like if a user hit this thing at my shop right now it would load up unaccosted as far as I can tell. I will have to use it to infect a computer behind my firewall to see what happens.
I need to make my vendors aware of this.
Jun 13, 2010 at 9:30 UTC
Another development, the IP address that the command server had occupied, and moved from recently, seems to have turned into a bot exhibiting the same port footprint as the victims. I had the old login saved by ip in Putty and I loaded it by accident, leading to this discovery when it asked for a login but failed to as if the service was only partially awake.
This implies that the command server is always in motion and leaving bots in its wake.
Thoughts, mental masturbation?
WDF? How the hell does this sysop convince DynDNS.com that he is legitimate even after complaints?
1, Techs at DynDNS are complacent and not investigating?
2, What if the "sysop" is versed in DNS altering exploits and this server's url is being forcefully entered into DynDNS' database? Maybee he has an in there.
3 Is this sysop masquerading his command server's IP into zones of ISP's addresses that have not been passed out and is not even a customer of said ISP? (moved from CA to UT seemlessly and within 24 hour time period.) (Chris's attempt to notify the ISP resulted in a less than 24hr interuption as well.)
4, Could it be that newly assimilated bots are prepared to host the command center by design and that control can be transfered to a pre-configured host on zero notice after certain performance degredation criteria has been met? ( noticed signs of automation early on in the study where things were back at a predictable time after a forced failure). ( I failed to notice if the ISP Address space was changing every time, but will have to try and trigger a change and check in order to start predicting the pattern of change to where and after what.)
5, If the server is always in motion, it would have to have a mechanism other than the DynDNS angle in order for it to get back to the sysop in the event DynDNS finally shut off his URL, otherwise the sysop would have the ability to turn on any of the bots as the server assuming he is adept enough to keep a list of sorts..
This has been a fascinating and illuminating study of the botnet trend to go peer to peer on a relatively new exploit technique. The application of a redundant mobile command server is just stellar. There is still much to learn here as far as how they maintain the dns records and what tells them it is time to move.
This attack's initial intrusion is an expoitation of a vulnerability that does rely on if the user executes this script inadvertently or involuntarily ( one more thing to discover). One of the victims is a large hardware chain in the southern region of the US who has a hosted mail system and web page on only one IP. This hosted system would not be high on my list of targets vulnerable to this kind of PWNing and with more than 10 locations, how is it that thier main IP is the one aflicted? why not a sub addr? Could it be that thier hosted system provider is incompetent and infected? Hmm...
Since only one security company has this script available for public review ( see the attached analysis txt file in a previous post about the script for the exact URL) , I have to wonder how dangerous is this kind of breach. Seems to me that if a computer could become a Lamp Ubuntu Server or at the very least a potent mail delivery server without anyone noticing on the victim side, I think that with this attack platform I could make this machine whistle dixie in the nude on George Bush's front lawn......... Why only use it to send SPAM, what is the real payload? Ransomware?
Jun 13, 2010 at 9:44 UTC
It might be worth sending an email to DynDns's abuse center... (I would assume they have one). If there is a website at this hostname/ip I would flag it with firefox fraud system, mcafee siteadvisor.com, trusted sources (http:/
/) and OpenDNS's content flagging systems). www.trustedsource.org/ en/ feedback/ url? action=checksingle
Make it known so others don't get bit by this douche...
I'm Glad we didn't do all this just yet. The damage it does is acceptable as long as it isn't my network and the opportunity to study this thing is priceless.
After I have exhausted all avenues, I would vote that we 'nickname it spicebot and adopt it as our personal whipping boy here at Spiceworks. As long as we keep the details of the exploits and specifics of the target off forum as far as what we do to the fellow... Then Nic would have to move this back to the water cooloer forum .........or create a whippin boy group.....

BT's falling PAYG user base makes way for more postpaid users
Thanks to its upcoming mobile phone service using O2's network, Sky will be able to rival BT effectively in all four services- landline, broadband, TV and mobile. BT already has a huge lead since it has its own BT Mobile as well as EE's network in its grasp, so it won't be easy for Sky to capture a major share of the market until it pours a lot of funds in new acquisitions.
The new phone service will be a result of an agreement signed in 2015 between Sky and Telefonica, the parent company of O2. Even though the company is yet to reveal its range of plans and services, it seems quite confident that people will be showing a lot of interest in Sky Mobile once it is launched. There are literally millions of customers for us to go after. We know that our customers are not only interested in Sky Mobile, but once they have been shown the proposition, they would consider switching to Sky," said Stephen Van Rooyen, Chief Executive of Sky UK and Ireland.
Virgin Media wins Best Value Network at Mobile Choice Awards
While Quad Play service providers like Virgin Media and Talk Talk have been around for a while, BT's new strategies with BT Mobile are starting to show signs of progress. The network's increased emphasis on Pay Monthly plans saw it gaining 280,000 postpaid customers in the third quarter while losing 325,000 prepaid customers in the same period. Given that the earning for every postpaid user is a lot more than earning for every prepaid user, BT Mobile made handsome profits in the quarter. The network is also offering Family SIM Plans, using which families can save hundreds of pounds in mobile bills every year by incorporating their bills into a single plan.
With Sky set to launch its own mobile service in the coming months, it will be interesting to see how it curates its plans, services and what benefits it will offer to customers to attract the kind of attention the company thinks it will generate.

The Florida Marlins have decided to finally give Hanley Ramirez a $70 million, 6 year extension. While that would be a bargain to the "Evil Empires", this is huge for all 8 Marlins fans who might actually see the same team after they win a championship this time. The Marlins are the definition of frugal with a 21 million dollar payroll and before the extension the Marlins star was making only $439,000. Ramirez would have been eligible for arbitration after this season and would likely have earned a significant pay raise. He was National League Rookie of the Year in 2006 and hit .332 last season with 52 stolen bases and 212 hits last season -- second only to NL MVP
snubbed runner up Matt Holliday. This season he's hitting .336 with eight home runs and 21 RBIs in 35 games so far.
The team is off to its best start in franchise history (21-14) despite its meager payroll. The Marlins look to break their piggy banks and clip their coupons as they prepare for a new stadium and Ramirez, if healthy will keep butts in the seats. Several other Marlins will become eligible for arbitration and substantial raises after this season, including second baseman Dan Uggla left fielder Josh Willingham, first baseman Mike Jacobs and left-hander Scott Olsen also look to try and make 7 figures in the offseason.
The deal would be the team's first multiyear deal since 2005, when they signed Carlos Delgado to a four-year free-agent contract and Paul Lo Duca to a three-year extension. Both were later traded to the Mutts. The team's previous richest contract was the six-year, $61 million deal signed by Gary Sheffield in April 1997, he was traded as well.
Ramirez as many know was sent to the Marlins from the Sox in the Josh Beckett-Mike Lowell deal and though the pair would become ALCS and World Series MVPs respectively, you can't help but wonder what would happen with a Ramirez-Ramirez-Ortiz lineup. But while the deal seems fine and dandy history tells us that in 2011 he will be on the trading block, cross your fingers he's not gone yet if they win another World Series its fire-sale time!!!!

Hello! CardMaker Magazine has teamed up today with Riley & Co. for a fun blog hop showcasing their products. :) Hopefully you've reached my blog by way of Lisa McGushion's blog, but if you'd like to start at the beginning of the hop, click HERE.
To create my card, I started by first stamping the single heart image from the Valentine/St. Patty's Accessories stamp set in Versafine ink onto watercolor paper to create a heart pattern. I then covered the hearts with clear embossing powder before heat setting them. I then used Zig Clean Color watercolor markers to color in the hearts.
While the watercolored hearts were drying, I stamped Riley in Versafine ink, heat set the image with clear powder, then die cut the image with the coordinating Riley die. Once the image was die cut, I colored it with Zig Clean Color watercolor markers and set it aside to dry. Next, I stamped one of the sentiments from the Valentine/St. Patty's Accessories stamp set in black ink onto aqua cardstock, then colored the open letters with a white gel pen. Once Riley was dry, I adhered the image to a white cardstock circle using foam tape, then attached the banner to Riley's body. The heart background panel was then adhered to a yellow card base with foam tape. To finish up, the white cardstock circle was attached to the card front, I trimmed off the excess hanging over the edge and then embellished with blue enamel dots.

Second half goals by Old Bridge seniors Dom Zinnadn John Leone broke a 1-1 tie, and lifted the Knights (12-5-3) to the victory. Central closed its season at 12-7-2, with a Hunterdon-Warren County Champion ships under its belt, and another winning season for coach Larry Ries. "All things considered it was a decent season," said the coach. "We had a winning year, and that is always nice, and we showed some scoring punch at times, and played our usual solid defense," said Ries. "Old Bridge got some good opportunities and made the most of them. But, I can't complain about the year, an d the senior leadership. We won a championship trophy, and we have some good you ng kids back for another shot next year at a better year." In the game with Old Bridge, it was a first half goal from senior Jesse Carriere in the first half on a feed from frosh John Pompeo, and got junior striker Jon Vastino's team- leading 14th goal late in the second half.
Junior goalie Tony Cortina turned back six Old Bridge shots, and the season came to an end for the Red Devils.
"We lose five seniors, but have 15 or so letter winners back for another what we hope is a good year in 2002," said Ries.
NET NOTES Senior Nino Zozzaro and frosh John Pompeo each had five goals, while junior Pat Sullivan had four and senior Ryan Kuken also had four.
The Voorhees boys soccer team finished the season on Monday in a 2-1 loss to Watchung Hills to fall to 6-13-1, as Tom Schafer scored off a pass from Brian Magos to give his team a 1-0 lead.. it was his fifth goal of the season to tie both soph Mike Kiser and Matt Gaydich for the team lead…senior Mark Howe turned back 10 Watchung Hills shots. The Vikes were 0-7-1 in their final eight games after being 6-6 at one time.

A month ago, Oniel Cousins was competing for the Ravens' starting right tackle job. Today, he's no longer on the roster.
The Ravens waived Cousins today, cutting ties with the 2008 third-round pick. The team also waived wide receiver and seventh-round 2008 pick Justin Harper, offensive tackle Brady Bond, tight end Jonathan Stupar and five rookie free agents: DT Cornell Banks (Fresno State), C Ryan Bartholomew (Syracuse), WR Rodney Bradley (Hawaii), LB Anthony Leon (Arkansas), WR Terrell Zachery (Auburn).
Cousins, a UTEP product, never showed the toughness or footwork that were necessary to compete at the NFL level. He was bumped over to guard a week ago, but new signee Mark LeVoir started at right guard in Thursday's preseason game against the Redskins.
Harper had a couple strong camps with the Ravens, but never did quite enough to crack the 53-man roster.
The Ravens now have 81 players on their roster, and will need to get down to 80 by Tuesday's cut deadline.

|The Counter Attack
|Chapter information
|Written by
|Last chapter
|Next chapter
The team plans a Counter Attack, after the enemy retreats. As they carry it out, they meet some new allies.
The soldiers never would have seen it. One minute, they were about to blast the Avatar to the next century. Then they are flying. Before, they can say anything they are already crashing face-first into the forest. As Mian looked over at his Air Nomad friend, he was pretty thankful. He could see the grin on her face, and she was probably thinking what a wimp he was. He ran over and after a quick thank you, began wreaking havoc on the enemy lines. Soon, the enemy was on the run. By sunrise, all of them had fled, and only 2 prisoners had been taken. Exhausted, Mian collapsed on the red grass.
Though he wanted to sleep longer Mian slowly walked into a small house, where the prisoners were being interrogated. He sat down next to Tia, in a hard chair. Admiral Min spoke to the prisoners and then the interrogators then walked over where the exhausted team was. Though he didn't to hear it, Mian knew what Min had to say. The counterattack would begin immediately.
Mian, took a breath of fresh air and headed of into the forest. Along with him, were his friends and 4 five man squads. They would launch an attack on the Phoenix stronghold, Hu Jin. The city was nested in Hawk bay. Min and his naval fleet would leave tomorrow to begin the naval attack. Mian's dad had approved the plan, the other day. They were now at war with the Phoenix Islands. As the team, continued through the forest, Mian realized that he did not know much about the Phoenix Islands to start with. He figured to ask the warriors, at their next stop. That stop would be about 15 miles away. Then they would have another 5 days for the remaining 60 miles.
Ami hated the jungle, it was almost impossible to walk here with all of the foliage. Which was why she was lagging behind. Suddenly the entourage stopped, Ami ran up to the front. She could see Mian and Zura looking into a clearing. She craned over them with Tia to see that there were a few Island Soldiers, there. There were possibly 30 or so with most of them craned over a fire. They were probably from the raid. And she could tell by Mian's eyes he was going in for an ambush.
Zura, thought the ambush was pretty quick, since most of the Islanders were wounded. The tribesmen surrounded the weakened Islanders, and closed in. The enemy began to fight back, but collapsed as nets, spears, arrows, and many other sharp objects pinned them down. A young man jumped down, from the trees and pronounced the day a victory. He was dressed in black armor along with black pants. Along with him a small group of children jumped down, they introduced themselves as the Phoenix Bombers. They stated their mission was to rid the world of the Phoenix Islands. The man in the black, Sky, was their leader.
Mian was happy to see that, no one had gotten hurt. He then walked to where Zura and the man in the black was standing. After introductions, the Bombers showed their base camp, which was 2 miles down the road. It was a group of tents along with a large cabin, centered around a base fire. Though reluctant, Mian agreed that they could spend the night here, and make up the extra 3 miles another day. Mian talked to Sky, who agreed that since they had a common goal, the Bombers would help with their invasion. But he did state that there were Phoenix Camps everywhere, each one armed to kill. As the team settled down Mian asked Sky to shed some light on the Phoenix Islands. Though he was embarrassed he had to know more about the enemy.
Sky explained that the Phoenix Islands were in between the Fire Nation and the Southern Water Tribe. It was also not too far from the Air Nomad settlement near, the Southern Air Temple. The Islands were Fire Nation territory, until they demanded freedom. Stating that they were conquered long ago, and wanted to be separate from the Fire Nation. Fire Lord Zuko, had agreed. Each Island is controlled by a governor, while the entire Nation was controlled by the Phoenix King. The name was originally meant for the evil Fire Lord Ozai. The current king, did not like the Water Tribe, and began hostilities. The Islands once peaceful, were now full of shipyards, outposts, and training camps. Then Sky stated that was pretty much all he knew, and said he would be going to sleep. Everybody else was also tired, and were soon sleeping.
Back at the Southern Water Tribe capital, a giant armada of ships were seen near the horizon. All of them had the Phoenix Flag waving above.
- The Phoenix bombers are modeled of the Freedom Fighters.

Tokyo: Japan coach Zico has announced his squad for the World Cup, going with a team he hopes will be able to overcome recent goal-scoring problems. Zico selected forwards Atsushi Yanagisawa, Masashi Oguro, Naohiro Takahara of Hamburg SV and Keiji Tamada to the 23-man squad. Japan has had trouble scoring in recent friendlies. In their last tuneup matches on home soil, Zico's squad scored just one goal in two matches against Bulgaria and Scotland, two teams that failed to qualify for the World Cup. In the biggest surprise, Tatsuhiko Kubo was left off the team in favor of forward Seiichiro Maki, who scored the lone goal against Bulgaria on May 9 in Osaka. Zico has faced mounting criticism at home for failing to find an offensive mix that can produce more goals. "Maki has shown me that he has got quality and potential and can get the job done,'' said Zico. "He gives us something different and if he can maintain the kind of form he is in at the moment I'm confident he can do a good job for his country.'' Japan's midfield will include Europe-based players Hidetoshi Nakata (Bolton), Shunsuke Nakamura (Celtic) and Junichi Inamoto (West Bromwich Albion). Domestic players Takashi Fukunishi, Mitsuo Ogasawara, Yasuhito Endo and former Feyenoord player Shinji Ono were also selected as midfielders. In defence, Zico selected Brazilian-born Alessandro Santos, Keisuke Tsuboi, Tsuneyasu Miyamoto, Yuji Nakazawa, Koji Nakata, Yuichi Komano, Makoto Tanaka and Akira Kaji. The squad includes 11 members from the 2002 World Cup team that reached the second round under French coach Philippe Troussier when Japan co-hosted the tournament with South Korea. Yoshikatsu Kawaguchi, Seigo Narazaki and Yoichi Doi were selected as goalkeepers. Japan is drawn in a tough Group F against Australia, Croatia and defending champion Brazil. They will be making their third straight World Cup appearance in Germany. Squad: Goalkeepers: Yoshikatsu Kawaguchi (Jubilo Iwata), Yoichi Doi (FC Tokyo), Seigo Narazaki (Nagoya Grampus Eight). Defenders: Makoto Tanaka (Jubilo Iwata), Tsuneyasu Miyamoto (Gamba Osaka), Alessandro Santos (Urawa Reds), Yuji Nakazawa (Yokohama F Marinos), Keisuke Tsuboi (Urawa Reds), Akira Kaji (Gamba Osaka), Yuichi Komano (Sanfrecce Hiroshima), Koji Nakata (Basel, Switzerland). Midfielders: Takashi Fukunishi (Jubilo Iwata), Mitsuo Ogasawara (Kashima Antlers), Shinji Ono (Urawa Reds), Yasuhito Endo (Gamba Osaka), Hidetoshi Nakata (Bolton Wanderers, England), Shunsuke Nakamura (Celtic, Scotland), Junichi Inamoto (WestBromwich Albion, England). Forwards: Seiichiro Maki (JEF United Chiba), Keiji Tamada (Nagoya Grampus Eight), Atsushi Yanagisawa (Kashima Antlers), Masashi Oguro (Grenoble, France), Naohiro Takahara (Hamburg SV, Germany). (AP)

Does This Cookies & Cream Have To Be Refrigerated?
Decorating By cakecastle Updated 4 Jul 2008 , 1:34pm by cakecastle
I'm thinking it does because of the heavy cream, but wasn't sure. I really need to find a good filling for a chocolate cake and I thought cookies and cream would be good for a bunch of teenagers (my dd's Sweet 16 party). If this one isn't shelf stable, anyone have a good one that is? Thanks!
Cookies and Cream
Serves/Yields: 6 cups
Prep. Time:
Cook Time:
Category: Fillings
Difficulty: Easy
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup confectioner's sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
20 chocolate sandwich cookies, i.e., Oreos, crushed into med. pieces.
In bowl of electric mixer at high speed, whip until stiff:
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup confectioner's sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Gently fold in:
20 chocolate sandwich cookies, i.e., Oreos, crushed into med. pieces
Yeilds: 6 cups

Yes, I am afraid that one needs refrigeration. I make a shelf-stable cookies and cream filling starting with my favorite buttercream (real butter and real vanilla extract, so it's not pure white, but it tastes good). I then add crushed cookies. Usually, I use Trader Joe's JoeJoes, sometimes the mint ones (around Chrismas).
Thank you!

In 2006 Harold Ford called his friend Mellody Hobson, saying that he was running for US Senate in Tennessee, and he need some national press. Hobson, an investor, opens her talk with this story. She called a friend at a major media organization who organized a lunch. Hobson and Ford arrived at the reception, said they were there for the lunch, and were taken to a back room. Then they were asked, "Where are your uniforms?" At that point her friend rushed in, speechless. Hobson said, "Don't you think we need more than one black person in the us Senate?"
Hobson says that she and Ford still laugh about that incident, but also that "deep deep down inside, I wasn't surprised." Her mother was ruthlessly realistic, and had prepared her. For example, after a birthday party where she was the only black person, her mother…

Far to often we make the things in life that don't really matter, we make them matter. What would our world, our community, our household look like if we focused on what really matters?
Don't let anyone fool you, how you treat people matters, how you think about others matter, how you show love to all people matters. What you do think, say and act matters.
Just so we are clear, what you drive don't matter, what clothes you have don't matter, the shoes you buy ( Jordan to Salvatore Ferragamo) they don't matter.
At your funeral few people will remember your clothes, your shoes, your house, your car but they will remember the love you have shown in word and in deed.
Motivation One Moment At A Time
22 Tuesday Oct 2013
Over the years I have taken in my fair share of movies and have watched a great many that focus on relationships. I have often heard a statement that people make when a relationship is coming to an end. It is often used as a means of getting out of a relationship by shifting the weight of responsibility onto one own self. This is a way to take false responsibility for the failing of the relationship. This is the tactic or the strategy of the person who wants out. No matter what the reason this statement is always hard to argue with whenever it's used.
"It's not You It's Me" Have you ever heard this before? Has anyone ever said this to you before? Did you ever say this to someone else? "It's not you It's Me" Over that last few weeks I have begin to look at the power…

There is one thing that I've learned to this point, and it is a simple concept. Its this, this life is a journey. I have learned that along this journey, everyone has residence in two principles. The principles are simple in the fact that no matter who you are or what you do you, will not get out of life without being affected by something. In other words, we don't get out of this life without having something happen u. So whether you like it not something will happen to you. If it's ailment, financial difficulties, relationship issues, social issues, injuries and loss of loved ones. There is nothing you can do that will effectively stop this or to put it another way, life proof you. So in essence that no matter who you are ,where you live we all suffer from the same condition of having things happen to us. Everybody is in this category. That's right you and I are people that things WILL happen to you. Nothing exempts you from this……
But there is another category that you don't necessarily fall into. This other category is strictly a category of choice. You must choose this category continuously. This is a life long category that you can quit at any time or you can start at any time….. In this life the one category you must choose is the "Happen For" category. You are born into the category of the "Happen To" Yes I said it, you will always will be someone that something will happen to, but you must choose to be the kind of person that something will happen for.
Ladies and gentlemen, NOTHING JUST HAPPENS ( I Believe) I believe that even the things that happen to you, is a divine effort to have things happen for you. Your part in everything that happens to you is your response. But let's look solely at what happens for you. Are you waiting for things to happen to you or are you working for things to happen for you? You don't have to work for anything to happen to you, but for things to happen you MUST work for them.
Here's the takeaway….. Everything in nature gives away to pressure the right amount of pressure over the right amount of time. Even a diamond will shatter when put under the right pressure for the right length of time. But in that same vein diamonds are created from pressure over time. Things will always happen to you that's nature but for thing to happen for you, that's choice.

I write this morning as a reminder to self, that I'm sharing with others. I have spent quite sometime looking at the building process, with a particular focus on structures. What makes a structure strong? What makes a structure last? What could cause the most problems if it's done incorrectly? Well…two things come to mind. 1. The ground upon which something is built 2. The foundation upon which everything else will rest. I have discovered that even if you build on good ground but the foundation is poor. There will always be trouble and the trouble can't be fixed at any other level. The cracks can be hidden, the sagging floors can be shored up, but if the problem is in the foundation. You will always have a problem.
What goes in to the structural foundation of most buildings? Concrete, and the concrete is poured into a form of some sort. But before we even get to the pouring and the forming the concrete is made of a mixture. A mixture of sand, crushed stone or gravel, cement, air and water. These must be mixed in the proper portion in order to achieve the kind of concrete for the right foundation. Too much of one and not enough of the other will cause a weakness in the concrete, which will create a weakness in the foundation and it will be a source of problems and could lead to structural failure.
The problems in the structure may go unnoticed if you are only building a story or two. But if you are planning to build high and/or big there will certainly be problems. So here is one thing to know, the higher/bigger you build the more evident the problems in the foundation will become (. The issues with your foundation will grow in direct proportion to the size of your entity, company, ministry or relationships (whatever you are building).
The right mix of ingredients is important but the ingredients by themselves don't make concrete. The ingredients put together in a container won't make concrete. There are two other components that are important to this process. They are the mixing (shaking, stirring up, tumbling, turning) and time.
The makings of any good foundation requires the right mixture, stirring up that mixture and time.
Here's one takeaway…If you are building something strong don't get discouraged when the mix is not right, don't get discouraged when the right mix has to be shaken/turned, don't discouraged when the mixture has to be stirred over a period of time. This is so the right consistency (tightness/elemental bonding, uniformity) will take place. I want to remind you that all this just the process of getting it ready to pour into the right form.

There once was a farmer who awakened every day joyous about being a farmer. He loved everything about being a farmer. He loved raising chickens, pigs and cows. He loved growing crops. He loved everything about it. He loved the planting, he loved watching the seedlings grow, he loved the harvest time, he loved the rain and he even loved the droughts. He loved everything about being a farmer.
One day as he was passing the pig pen, he happened to notice that one of his pigs was significantly bigger than the others. So he separated this pig from the others and treated the pig as a pet. He took the pig and cleaned him up and put a leash on him. Wherever he went the pig went, when he ate the pig ate and whatever he ate the pig ate the same. While out in town one day he had a custom pearl collar made for his friend, his companion, his loyal pig. To him this was no ordinary pig this was his friend.
One day the pigs leash broke and the pig went running to the pig pen jumped the gate and splashed down in the mud, feces and slop. He couldn't recall having ever seen the pig so happy, he suddenly realized that he had to leave the pig where he was the most at home. He then noticed the pearl collar that he bought for the pig was still on the neck of the pig and now it too is covered in mud, feces and slop. He began to fill silly for taking something of such great value and giving it to a pig. A pig who was neither equipped nor possessed the desire to appreciate something of such great value. A great gift that had come by way of the sacrifice of someone who wanted better for him/her.
To some, this story may seem funny but we do this all of the time. There are times in life we take the great pearls of our wisdom and experience and place them around the neck of a pigs. I know this seems harsh and judgemental but sometimes the truth can be that way because it has to be. I write this so that we will be careful and discerning of who we share our pearls (things of great value) with.
Here's the takeaway…. you can easily recognize pigs in most cases. Pigs are the happiest when they are in the middle of, creating and neck-deep in mud (dirt) slop (anything messy) and feces. These are the people who are not just in it but when they don't see it they will work to make everyplace they go a pig pen. All of us know people like this and I share this simply to say don't cast the greatest things of value to you to someone who doesn't have the slightest intent or inkling of hearing or accepting it.
You see whether you like it or not WE are all farmers in some sense. My question is this, how many pigs are wearing your pearls?

Jaguar to Offer All-Wheel Drive on All New Models
According to Jaguar's global brand director, Adrian Hallmark, all future models will be developed with all-wheel drive capability.
Jaguar began offering all-wheel drive on its new XF and XJ 3.0liter V6 models, and the British automaker believes that every model in its lineup could benefit from having an all-wheel drive option. Current models won't be updated to offer all-wheel drive, but every model developed here on out will, according to Hallmark.
Undoubtedly market demands in the U.S. and Canada has prompted Jaguar to focus on developing all-wheel drive variants for its model, whereas demand is rather low for a V6 all-wheel drive in the UK.

WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court has ruled that workers who cooperate with internal investigations of retaliation by their employers are sheltered by federal laws prohibiting job discrimination.
In an opinion Monday, the justices held that a longtime school system employee in Tennessee can pursue a civil rights lawsuit over her firing.
The court voted unanimously to reverse the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals' ruling that the anti-retaliation provision of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act does not apply to employees who merely cooperate with an internal probe rather than complain on their own or take part in a formal investigation.
Vicky Crawford was fired in 2003 after more than 30 years as an employee of the school system for Nashville, and Davidson County.
She did not file a complaint about harassment by a school official. But she said she had been subject to unwanted sexual advances when she was interviewed by investigators for the school system who were looking into other employees' allegations against the director of employee relations.
Crawford was fired months later. The official was not disciplined.
She filed a federal lawsuit, but it was dismissed by a federal judge and upheld on appeal.

Polling Standards at the New York Times?
When I visited the Daily Kos blog this afternoon, I was greeted by the following headline "Chamber of Commerce Skews Polling in Dem Swing Districts" linking to a New York Times blog piece. In the Times piece, author Robb Mandelbaum explains that the Times cannot publish results from the partisan Chamber surveys because
Instead of randomly selecting their respondents, the Chamber of Commerce sampled from voter lists, a practice The New York Times and many other media pollsters do not endorse because the lists are often outdated and are generally not representative -- they do not include unlisted telephone numbers, for example.
In other words, the New York Times claims it will not publish polls conducted using registration based list sampling (RBS).
As I am not familiar with the New York Times' "stringent standards" for publishing poll results, I was admittedly perplexed when I read about the New York Times' opposition to RBS polling. Why? Because I had seen them publish polls in the past that use RBS.
Just today, in fact, the Times published an RBS result in an a blog discussing Senator Barbara Boxer's bid for re-election:
'A new Field Poll shows that the three candidates hoping to unseat Senator Barbara Boxer have gained ground. Senator Boxer, who is in her third term, trails Tom Campbell, a former congressman, 44 to 43 percent, and leads Carly Fiorina, the former chief executive of Hewlett-Packard, 45 to 44 percent.'
The Field Poll, one of the oldest and most widely respected polling firms in California, uses RBS technology "when conducting surveys of the state's registered voter population". A search of the New York Times' archive reveals 20 mentions of the Field Poll in the last 12 months.
The Field Poll is not the only firm to use RBS technology. The vaunted pre-caucus Iowa Poll conducted by Ann Selzer rode RBS to being the only poll to predict a Kerry/Edwards 1-2 finish in the 2004 Democratic Iowa Caucus, and it accurately projected Obama and Huckabee victories in the 2008 Iowa Caucuses. The New York Times has quoted Selzer's pre-caucus polls.
Of course, I would still be somewhat suspicious of the Chamber of Commerce sponsored polls, and Mandelbaum implies the Times is too. They are after all polls conducted by a Republican leaning firm for an organization against the current healthcare reform bill. But for the New York Times' to claim they never publish RBS polls is laughable.
Indeed, It appears that the Times accepts list based samples in some instances but not others. So what is the New York Times' standard for publishing RBS polls?

Who better to welcome the royals to America than David Beckham? The soccer star chats up Prince William at a July 8 poolside mixer, thrown by British Consul-General Barbara Hay. "Victoria really wanted to come but she is just so tired at the moment," Beckham told William of his wife, who gave birth two days later. "She sent you both lots of love." William's reply? "Don't be silly. Send her all our love and tell her good luck with it all."
2 of 10
Before a star-studded crowd that included Joe Jonas, Rob Lowe, Rosario Dawson and more, Prince William flaunts his polo skills July 9 at the Santa Barbara Polo amp Racquet Club in nearby Carpinteria. "Catherine and I have had a busy few days so the prospect of being able to let loose this afternoon is wonderful for me," William said in a brief speech.

All hail the (future) king! Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, congratulates her husband, who scored four times during the charity polo match, leading his team to a 5-2 victory.

Catherine's questionable painting skills elicit a laugh from her husband, who joined her in creating their own works of art with the kids. "It's either a tortoise or a snail. I'm not sure," a laughing Catherine admitted when William asked what she was painting.

Their last stop: Culver City, where Prince William and Kate check out stuffed bears for the children of U.S. military families at an event for Service Nation: Mission Serve, an organization that helps veterans get jobs after service.

Imagine being 5 years old and getting paid to go wild on an airplane.
That's what happened with identical twins Broderick and Bentley Chin, of Egg Harbor City, preschool students at the Charles L. Spragg Elementary School.
They got their first professional acting job in November on the CBS crime drama "Person of Interest," sharing the role of an unruly toddler seated behind main character John Reese in the first-class section of a flight from New York City to Rome, said mom Jennifer Ade-Chin.
The out-of-control child complicates an attempt by Reese, played by Jim Caviezel, to protect someone on the plane, she said.
"They loved it, especially being in the hotel and dressing room," said Ade-Chin, who plays the mom who loses control of her child.
After they finished a week of filming at Silver Cup East Studios in Long Island City, N.Y., the director and assistant director lifted the twins up for a standing ovation, she said.
Ade-Chin didn't tell them they were going to be on TV, because when she said that at a previous audition, it was upsetting to one of the twins.
"He started crying, saying, 'I don't want to be inside the TV. I want to stay with you,'" Ade-Chin said.
So when they see themselves on TV tomorrow night, they will understand it doesn't mean they're literally in the box, she said.
Ade-Chin is a part-time dental hygienist with Dr. George Novasack in Somers Point, and her husband, Jeremy, is a union carpenter, she said. She won't make auditioning and acting the center of the family's life, but she will consider parts for which the twins have a good shot, she said.
The Chins' episode of "Person of Interest," titled "4C," is scheduled for 10 p.m. Tuesday on CBS.
Theater scholarship
Jacob Foster Ongsiaco, a freshman studying theater arts at Rowan University, received the $300 Historic Jackson Street Neighborhood Association Scholarship at East Lynne Theater Company's fundraising event at Aleathea's Restaurant in Cape May in November.
Ongsiaco, who began performing while attending elementary school in Manahawkin, Stafford Township, is the seventh recipient of the scholarship. He graduated from Southern Regional High School in 2013.
In middle school and high school, he performed with the Southern Regional Theatre Company as George in "The Drowsy Chaperone" and as Danny Zuko in "Grease." He also played Padamadan in "Legally Blonde" for Our Gang Players.
