Hacker busts IE8 on Windows 7 in 2 minutes
Dutch researcher bypasses DEP, ASLR to bring down Microsoft's browser
Computerworld - Two researchers yesterday won $10,000 each at the Pwn2Own hacking contest by bypassing important security measures of Windows 7.
Both Peter Vreugdenhil of the Netherlands and a German researcher who would only identify himself by the first name Nils found ways to disable DEP (data execution prevention) and ASLR (address space layout randomization), which are two of Windows 7's most vaunted anti-exploit features. Each contestant faced down the fully-patched 64-bit version of Windows 7 and came out a winner.
Vreugdenhil used a two-exploit combination to circumvent first ASLR and then DEP to successfully hack IE8. A half-hour later, Nils bypassed the same defensive mechanisms to exploit Mozilla's Firefox 3.6. For their efforts, each was awarded the notebook they attacked, $10,000 in cash and a paid trip to the DefCon hackers conference in Las Vegas this July.
"Every exploit today has been top-notch," said Aaron Portnoy, security research team lead at 3Com's TippingPoint security unit, the sponsor of the contest, in an interview at the end of the day Wednesday. "The one on IE8 was particularly impressive."
Vreugdenhil, a freelance vulnerability researcher, explained how he bypassed DEP and ASLR. To outwit ASLR -- which randomly shuffles the positions of key memory areas to make it much more difficult for hackers to predict whether their attack code will actually run -- Vreugdenhil used a heap overflow vulnerability that allowed him to obtain the base address of a .dll module that IE8 loads into memory. He then used that to run his DEP-skirting exploit.
DEP, which Microsoft introduced in 2004 with Windows XP Service Pack 2, prevents malicious code from executing in sections of memory not intended for code execution and is a defense against, among other things, buffer-overflow attacks.
"[The exploit] reuses Microsoft's own code to disable DEP," said Vreugdenhil. "You can reuse Microsoft's own code to disable memory protection."
In a paper he published today (download PDF), Vreugdenhil spelled out in more detail how he evaded both ASLR and DEP.
"It was a two-step exploitation," Vreugdenhil said of the unusual attack. "I could have done it with one, but it would have taken too long." Using the double-exploit technique gave him control of the machine in a little over two minutes; if he had used only one exploit, the task would have required 50 to 60 minutes.
"I didn't know how much time I would have at Pwn2Own," he said, referring to the constraints of the contest, where hackers had limited time slots. And he didn't want to bore his audience. "I put some eye candy in the exploit," he said, referring to a progress bar he inserted that read "Please be patient while you are being exploited..."
"It feels great," said Vreugdenhil of winning. "But I was nervous. I was convinced that there would be other exploits for IE8." This year's Pwn2Own was a first-come, first-served contest: The first researcher to hack each browser would win $10,000, but the second would take home nothing.
Nils also sidestepped DEP and ASLR in Windows 7 when he exploited the newest version of Firefox later in the day. Like Vreugdenhil, Nils also was awarded the notebook and $10,000. This was Nils' second Pwn2Own victory; last year he grabbed $15,000 by exploiting not only Firefox, but also Safari and IE8.
"As usual, Nils' exploit was very thorough," said TippingPoint's Portnoy, who is the organizer of the Pwn2Own contest.
TippingPoint purchased the rights to the flaws and attack code from Vreugdenhil, Nils and the other Pwn2Own winners. It will turn over that information to Microsoft, Mozilla and other affected vendors on Friday at the conclusion of the contest. Until vendors patch their vulnerabilities, TippingPoint will not disclose any technical information about the bugs.
Both Microsoft Corp. and Mozilla Corp. had representatives on hand during the contest.
Later, Jerry Bryant, a senior manager with the Microsoft Security Research Center (MSRC) acknowledged the vulnerabilities exploited by Vreugdenhil, but little else. "Microsoft is aware of a new vulnerability in Internet Explorer introduced at CanSecWest in the Pwn2own contest," Bryant said in an e-mail Wednesday. "We are investigating the issue and we will take appropriate steps to protect customers when the investigation is complete."
Bryant did not say when Microsoft would patch the flaws Vreugdenhil used. The company's next scheduled Patch Tuesday is April 13, but Microsoft typically takes much longer to produce its fixes, with testing time alone often running 30 to 60 days.
The lesson from this year's Pwn2Own is pretty simple, suggested Charlie Miller, another of Wednesday's winners. "What you can see at Pwn2Own is that bugs are still in software, and exploit mitigations like DEP and ASLR don't work. Even as [defensive measures] improve, researchers still end up winning."

Literally, when I heard two more Senators had backed it, I thought, "Well, I know one ain't Joe!" Good on them. (Click cartoon to enlarge.)
Sens. Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.) and Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.), both hailing from deeply red states, announced on Friday their support for gay marriage.
"In speaking with North Dakotans from every corner of our great state, and much personal reflection, I have concluded the federal government should no longer discriminate against people who want to make lifelong, loving commitments to each other or interfere in personal, private, and intimate relationships," Heitkamp said in a statement. "I view the ability of anyone to marry as a logical extension of this belief. The makeup of families is changing, but the importance of family is enduring."
"In recent years, our country has been involved in an important discussion on the issue of marriage equality," Donnelly said on Facebook. "While serving in the House of Representatives, I had the opportunity to act on a core belief of mine: we are a stronger country when we draw on the strengths of all Americans. I voted to repeal 'don't ask, don't tell' and was an original supporter of the bill that would make it illegal to discriminate against someone in the workplace because of their sexual orientation."
"It is also for that reason that I oppose amending either Indiana's or our nation's constitution to enshrine in those documents an 'us' and a 'them,' instead of a 'we,'" he continued. "With the recent Supreme Court arguments and accompanying public discussion of same-sex marriage, I have been thinking about my past positions and votes. In doing so, I have concluded that the right thing to do is to support marriage equality for all."

Its odd looks will always raise questions, but the engine won't, it's a peach. There's loads of low down, a nice spread of torque and the dollop of top end power should see it as the quickest bike in this category. It's also extremely comfortable, will eat mile after mile all day long and handles reasonably well (up to a ...

Kawasaki's ZX-10R evokes thoughts of rip-roaring power and handling best suited to race circuits. While that may have been the case of the original 2004 model, subsequent models have been diluted to the point where ZX-10R is regarded as a decent on the road superbike but not quite in touch with the competition of the latest Blade, techno-laden R1 and ...
1043cc, 138bhp, 165mph, Insurance group 15
Loosely based on Kawasaki's excellent Z1000, the SX fits snugly in to the gap between said naked bike and the track orientated ZX-10R, making it a grown-up bike for the real world. The near 140bhp inline four motor gives sporting potential, but creature comforts like a new seat, vibration reduction and additional fairing make it a viable long-distance touring bike. For many riders this ...
903cc, 53bhp, 115mph, Insurance group 10
Over recent years Kawasaki has created an impressive portfolio of cruisers and Kawasaki VN900 Custom is one of its best yet. The Kawasaki VN900 Custom's laid back, chopper style is down largely to its distinctive, cast alloy big 21-inch front wheel. But other differences between the Kawasaki VN900 Custom and Kawasaki VN900 on which it is based include the high-rise drag ...

The Kawasaki Z1000 is revamped enough to be called 'new'. The Kawasaki Z1000's styling exercise is worthy of a Modern Tate placing – nothing else Japanese has so many styling details. The ex-ZX-9R motor is tweaked for a less frantic upper rpm delivery and now, in the Kawasaki Z1000 exudes cream-like torque from zero revs. A big-bore super-naked machine that is ...
1199cc, 178bhp, 185mph, Insurance group 17
For many owners the Kawasaki ZX-12R combines the best aspects of the Honda Blackbird or Hayabusa, but mixes in a dose of good old fashioned lairy fun. The Kawasaki ZX-12R is a beefy, roomy sports-tourer, with an engine that keeps tempting you to open it up. Decent build quality too.
1352cc, 197bhp, 187mph, Insurance group 17
The Kawasaki ZZ-R1400 is not only the fastest, most powerful motorcycle you can buy, but happens to be an extremely capable all-round machine too. Limited to 186mph (300kmh) – but the Kawasaki ZZ-R1400 will do it with a gear to spare. Capable of commuting, two up sporty touring, track days, drag racing, posing – almost anything is possible on the ...
998cc, 181bhp, 182mph, Insurance group 17
Slightly more user friendly than the psycho C-model Kawasaki ZX-10R of 2004/05 but the latest Kawasaki ZX-10R is still a pretty extreme, track focused missile. Competitive in the 1000cc sports category, so obscenely fast and fine handling. Kawasaki ZX-10R headlights not to everyone's taste visually but it's a look that gets cars out of the way sharpish.
953cc, 125bhp, 152mph, Insurance group 15
With its "My first migraine" colourschemes, bold, shotgun-style quad exhausts and huge hung-out in-the breeze motor you won't mistake the Kawasaki Z1000 for anything else out on the road. It goes just like it looks, thanks to some huge shove, courtesy of that ex-superbike lump.
997cc, 110bhp, 130mph, Insurance group 14
The Kawasaki GTR1000, an 80s touring dinosaur, has its good points; a screen which actually protects the rider well, shaft drive, comfy saddle, a massive 28.5 litre fuel capacity and - for the time - respectable handling. But the aged GPZ1000 motor, weak brakes and dated styling limit its appeal.

Thank you so much to SNS for the chance to log this Stimulant Free Premium Fat Loss Stack | SNS - Serious Nutrition Solutions stack!
I was thinking about waiting another week (when my Formula-X run was just about done) but Winter is Coming after all, and I am excited. This is going to be a great mashup I think. I know Formula-X has been doing wonders for my recovery and endurance, and maybe even strength . Add to that SNS's Ultimate Non Stim Fat Loss stack, and we are looking at some crazy recomp potential!
I want to get everything set up to start tomorrow, when I have my weekly weigh in and I will do a Body Fat % check. I really think i need to get one of those handy pill holders to keep everything in order but that is another story.
My main goal is to keep this a straight up recomp, though if push came to shove a lean bulk would be fine by me as well. I am following the Lean Gains / IF diet set up. Work outs are a 3 day fullbody routine inspired by the great Steve Reeves. Cardio is a lot of walking with my daughter (pushing a stroller) for the most part, but as time allows I am going to hit up the Stair Steppers at the gym. On a side I would love to try out the Empire Statebuilding Climb at some point, so I might as well get some practice in now I have been able to pretty much keep my weight steady give or take a 1 or 2 all summer and have been noticibly leaning out / tightening up.
Supplements are fairly straight forward. Multi Vit, Fish Oil, Recover Pro, and Creatine Mono, with Whey used PWO on no fasted training days. Formula-x is taken every day First thing in the morning with the Creatine, and intraworkout. I will Be using Reduce XT, TTA-550, and RK-500 as per the directions on the bottles.
I cant wait to start this! Fairly sure I will begin Reduce XT tonight

Age and genetics are the major factors in testosterone generation. It peaks in your 30s and drops steadily thereafter. There are some things you can actively do to increase testosterone level, but the effects will be miniscule compared to what your age and genetics have already given you.

Probably not. Training for powerlifting (completely strength-oriented) involves avoiding failure, keeping the number of reps low, and resting a lot between sets, none of which are really conducive to "burn" during a workout or soreness afterwards.
Pavel Tsatsouline gave this answer to a similar question during an interview:
One thing is for sure, you ...
Certainly there is a correlation between muscle mass and strength, but there is more to the story. Two reasons why muscle mass and strength may not be completely congruous are:
Muscle fiber density
Muscle utilization
Your muscles are composed of four different types of fibers (slow-twitch, and three forms of fast-twitch). These fibers have ...
Many muscle groups are involved, including hand, arm, chest, shoulder, back strength... it really depends on where your weak link happens to be.

Unless you are already strong, this is the wrong plan. Putting bodybuilding before strength training does not make any sense.

Practical Programming's Answer: 1-3RM For Strength
From page 79:
Strength, a basic objective of training and an important component of power performance, is gained using lower repetitions (1 to 3) with heavier weights (90 to 100% of 1RM).
Notice that in this context, Rippetoe is using a narrow definition of strength that does not include power, ...
Here's a few links to some great body-weight exercises that I use regularly:
Beginner Body Weight Workout
Advanced Body Weight Workout
Prison Workout
Another key point is this is largely a hamstring exercise as much as it is a lower back exercise. With proper form your lower back is not the only muscle group working to help you stand up. Another thing to think about: your lower back is just another muscle group, that through strength training will become stronger and greatly reduce the likelihood of ...
Work on strengthening your core muscles and back. Arm strength won't help you much if your core starts tipping over. You need to push yourself up with you core and lower back and hold it there.
One way to work on balance is to spread your weight by separating your legs and feet outwards (like a center split) when you hold your lower body up. It's a similar ...
From the most stable to the least stable, you have:
Machines are the most stable. They work a major muscle and neglect the the small stabilizer muscles. On the other end of the spectrum, you have dumbbells which require a fair amount of stabilizer muscles. One is not better than the other. It all depends on what your goals ...
It sounds like you've been focusing too much on high repetitions. 15-20 is an extremely high rep range for weightlifting. High reps don't increase strength. You need to do much more weight at lower reps to increase strength. After doing a low rep routine for several months, you should be able to have enough strength to do more than 15 bicep curls.
Here are ...
There is a difference, in that you are changing the load on your core. Squats are not "just a leg exercise" as many people assume that it is. There are several variations of squats, and they each have their place.

This is absolutely a good approach. You get to build up some muscle, and you don't damage your metabolism the way you would with severe calorie restriction.

This is an example of a Weight-Assist Machine. The woman in the photo is using it for dips, but this particular machine also supports Chin-Ups. Some Gyms and Fitness Centers have these. The one where I work out has one, and with it, I'm able to get 10 reps instead of my normal 3.

The importance of rest cannot be overstated. Your case is the perfect example of why rest is needed.

Unless you've been using steroids and/or have a history of heart conditions in your family, I don't believe that having a lot of muscles is a risk factor for heart problems.

When I was in the Army, we did wide-arm push-ups, elevated push-ups, diamond (close-hand) push-ups, push-ups with resistance (someone putting pressure on your back or a sandbag on your back) and push-ups on our knees.
The variations in resistance, targeting different muscle groups, and working towards a burn-out all contributed to breaking the muscle down ...
Different rep schemes produce different effects on the body. If you use enough resistance so that you can only do 3-5 reps, you'll primarily develop strength and power. If you use a lot less resistance so you can do 30 reps, you are primarily developing muscular endurance, pain tolerance, etc.
Moreover, you should track how many reps you can do and what ...
According to Rippetoe & Kilgore,
As a general rule, women do not have the same level of neuromuscular
efficiency as men. This is probably due to the differences in hormonal
profile and the much lower levels of testosterone.
It's also worth noting that a pound of muscle has the same absolute strength in either gender. The mass is distributed ...
I have to disagree with Christopher Bibbs assertion that you are limited to the same weight by performing bodyweight only exercises. It is not how much weight in total that you have at your disposal but rather how much force you are able exert on particularly groups of muscles that will determine how close to maximal a loading you can apply to them. There ...

Our cilantro actually is doing quite well. It is growing everywhere. The cilantro has spread from the carrots to the gourds. There's even some by the spinach. I think that the cilantro seeds were carried by the wind to all these places. We just have to pick it before it flowers or goes to seed.
Are these friend or foe? We have some plants in our garden that we know are weeds. For example, the bottom right picture is definitely a weed. We uprooted it before it choked our onions. The bottom left picture we think is corn. But it might also be wild grass. We have no idea what is in the bottom middle picture. We left a few of these plants alive to see if they produce anything.
These are our harvest. We only have three plants that we harvested. I already showed you the cilantro. Our radishes are okay. These two are the only ones big enough to harvest. Our carrots are tiny but at least they don't just look like roots (though that's what they are).

I am trying to convert a html page into a pdf doc using acrobat x pro. The html page contains a tabular data. Table contains many rows and has a vertical scroll bar to see those rows data. On exporting the html page to pdf, all the tabular rows are not being exported. The pdf depicts only the first few rows from the table, which are visible in the html page, without scrolling.
Please note that by vertical scroll bar, I do not mean the scroll bar of the html page. I mean the scroll bar contained in the page and used to veiw all the tabular rows.
Do you have a URL that folks can try? It may be the way in which you are doing the conversion. You keep saying export, so from what browser. The specific OS may be useful, not sure. Just how are you making the PDF. If you are printing to the Adobe PDF printer or using PDF Maker is it likely you only get what is viewed. I suspect the MS plugin if used does no better. Just what do you mean by export and what broswer again?

The detailed comments here suggest that Ruskin must have seen this picture in Turner's gallery, although it seems to have been bought by the Birmingham collector Joseph Gillott in March 1845, and there are no subsequent comments in Ruskin's works.

Watch Octavia Spencer in Smashed trailer
Watch Octavia Spencer in Smashed trailer
Posted by Wilson Morales
September 11, 2012
Sony Pictures Classics has released the trailer and a few clips to 'Smashed,' starring Aaron Paul, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Nick Offerman, and Academy Award winner Octavia Spencer.
Directed by James Ponsoldt, the film opens on October 12.
In "Smashed," Kate and Charlie like to have a good time. Their marriage thrives on a shared fondness for music, laughter… and getting smashed. When Kate's partying spirals into hard-core asocial behavior, compromising her job as an elementary schoolteacher, something's got to give. But change isn't exactly a cakewalk. Sobriety means she will have to confront the lies she's been spinning at work, her troubling relationship with her mother, and the nature of her bond with Charlie.

It's some time since my last post and during that time things have been moving at a hectic pace.
My affiliate activities while still an important stream of income now play second fiddle to my first faltering steps as a merchant, in November Gluten Free Food Products Limited was born and the last 2 months have been a steep learning curve with premises, equipment, stock, Vat reg, e-commerce website, credit card integration and a million other things to sort out, thankfully I have haven't had to do it alone and my wonderful girlfriend Mandy is also my business partner and we have embarked on the adventure together.
My internet marketing skills and Mandy's inside knowledge of Coeliac Disease means we cover a fair few bases.
We have now soft launched and are waiting for the trickle of orders to become a torrent, full launch comes this Saturday when we are handing out leaflets and samples at our first food fair as an exhibitor so if you happen to be in Leeds pop over to St Chads and give us some support.
Congratulations Keith and Mandy!
This is a great idea and I wish you lots of success with your new online retail venture.
With Keith's internet marketing skills and Mandy's knowledge of the Coeliac condition, it's sure to be a runaway success I have no doubt.

Summary (Masterplots II: American Fiction Series, Revised Edition)
In order to provide for his family, Jack Torrance, a former college professor and writer, becomes a caretaker at a resort hotel in the mountains of Colorado. Torrance's life is a shambles: Following the example of his violent father, he abuses his wife, Wendy, and his five-year-old son Danny, and he has become an alcoholic. When he is fired from his job at Stovington University, Torrance finds the only job that he can, at the Overlook Hotel, which is closed for the winter. Torrance's job is to maintain the furnaces and to repair any broken items. He is relieved that it is so easy because for the past year he has been planning to write a play.
Once the family gets to the hotel, the horror slowly begins. The cook, Dick Hallorann, who is about to leave for the season, shows Wendy and Danny around the kitchen. As he does so, he is able to communicate with the child telepathically. Recognizing a fellow psychic, Hallorann admits his own powers to the child and tells Danny to call him if he is in need.
Early in the season, as Torrance is checking the roof for broken shingles, he finds a wasps' nest. Remembering that he once had an empty wasps' nest as a boy, he thinks that Danny might like it in his room. After smoking out the insects, Torrance hangs the nest in his son's room. That evening when Danny is asleep, he is stung by the "dead" wasps. This is the first of many unexplained incidents involving Danny and his father.

Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
Jack Torrance is chosen to be the winter caretaker of the lavish Rocky Mountain Overlook Hotel by an old friend from his drinking days, the wealthy Al Shockley. Nevertheless, Jack must sit through a humiliating interview with Stuart Ullman, the hotel manager, who does not believe he is right for the position. Jack has few options left. He was forced to resign from his last job as an English teacher at Stovington Preparatory School in Vermont after he assaulted a student whom he caught slashing his tires. During his tour of the hotel, Jack meets Watson, a foul-mouthed maintenance person who warns him to release the pressure in the boiler every day because it steadily creeps up, creating a potentially disastrous situation.
Jack, his wife, Wendy, and their five-year-old son, Danny, meet the Overlook's African American chef, Dick Hallorann, on closing day. Hallorann discovers that Danny possesses what Hallorann calls "the shining": telepathic and precognitive powers. Danny exerts this power through an invisible friend named Tony. Hallorann, who also has these powers but to a much lesser degree, tells Danny that nothing he sees in the hotel can hurt him. However, he also says that if there is trouble Danny should shout out to Hallorann with his mind, and Hallorann will come from Florida to help.
Jack and Wendy have had a strained marriage ever since a drunken Jack accidentally broke Danny's arm. They hope that spending the winter at the...

Summary (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
As 'Salem's Lot is dominated by the brooding presence of Marsten House, The Shining is similarly occupied with the evil possessing the Overlook Hotel, an elegant old resort on a remote Colorado mountain. Built early in the twentieth century, the Overlook has passed from owner to owner, unprofitable and unlucky for all of them. It has frequently been the scene of murders, suicides, and other unspeakable crimes. Within the hotel lives a demoniac spirit that has corrupted nearly everyone who has spent time there.
When the hotel prepares to close down for the winter, as it does every year, Jack Torrance is hired to maintain the building and grounds through the off-season. Jack is a writer and former English teacher trying to recover from alcoholism. He has also inherited a volcanic temper from his father. Though he loves his son, Danny, deeply, Jack once broke Danny's arm in a fit of anger. He lost his last job when he beat a rebellious student, and he has frequently abused his fragile wife, Wendy, who has borne her own cross of a hateful mother. Through a friend's help, however, Jack has gotten a last chance to knit his life and family back together by working for the Overlook Hotel as the winter caretaker.
Upon the family's arrival at the hotel, Danny senses that something is terribly wrong; He is haunted by visions of "REDRUM" ("murder" spelled backward) and a monster trying to kill him. As they tour the...

Remar is a Spanish word that means "to row", and as such, the Remar program utilises nautical themes to provide focal points for the students. It is also a play on words, taken from our spiritual renewal programs at Marist. Remar is a youth ministry program operating in many Catholic schools in Australia. It targets students in Years 10, 11 and 12.
Remar has a fourfold focus:
- faith development
- personal development and leadership formation
- community
- social justice, ministry and service to others
There are three Crossings that make up the Remar movement:
- Year 10 – Red Caravel
- Year 11 – Blue Caravel
- Year 12 – Gold Caravel
A caravel is the local group of the Remar movement made up of rowers and a
helmsperson. At Marist Regional College we have three caravels:
- Year 10 –
- Year 11 – The Allsorts
- Year 12 – Shooting Stars
Students involved at the school level are called "rowers" and the adult who
guides them through the journey is known as the "helmsperson".
Our Remar students attend a number of local and national camps throughout the
year. Fortnightly Caravel meetings are held throughout the year. Rowers are
active participants in community and outreach ministry.
Our Student Representative Council members and Remar students, in conjunction with the College Community, work very hard throughout the College year to raise money for the missions.
Term 1
Our mission focus is the annual Caritas Australia Project Compassion Appeal. In 2011 we raised $1650.00. This money allowed us to buy a cow for the people in Uganda and provide a loan for 10 survivors of violence to create a community farm in Democratic Republic of Congo.
Term 2
Our mission focus is Mercy Works. In 2011 we supported the work of Sr Tricia
McDermott RSM, who lives and works in the Corn Hill/Tres de Mayo. Currently,
Sr Tricia is working in Lima, Peru, where she is leading the construction of
a women's house, children's house and a medical clinic.
We also support TIKAPERU which is a not-for-profit organization helping to
provide the women working at the Casa de las Murjeres with a market for their
knitted products. We support this organisation by ordering College scarves.
Term 3
Our mission focus is the Samaritan Purse – Operation Christmas Child. Every
year generous people across the world lovingly pack shoe boxes with gifts to
send a child in Papua New Guinea a gift for Christmas. When a child opens a
shoe box, they're opening more than a present lovingly prepared just for them.
They're opening up their community to a world of life-changing opportunities.
The kindness of our staff and students enables us to raise the funds that we
do. We are fortunate that our SRC body and Remar students are so enthusiastic
and motivated in ensuring our targets are achieved.
Renewals and Retreats
Our Year 7 renewal is integrated into the Year 7 camp which is held in week
3 or 4 of Term 1. The theme for Year 7 Renewal is "Being Marist – my place
within our College". The principles of the Making Jesus Real program are
also explored through the sessions.
Commencing in 2012, Year 8, 9 and 10 will have their renewal experience integrated
into their Religious Education classes. The Director of Mission will visit
their RE class once a month to journey through the year-level renewal theme
for the year. Class Liturgies and Forgiveness Services will also be integrated
into these visits. The renewal themes are:
- Year 8 – Recognising and Valuing Diversity
- Year 9 – Keep Bouncing
- Year 10 – Social Justice
The Year 11 Renewal is held off campus in Term 2. The theme for this year
level is "Appreciating the gift of a teenage life". Guest speaker/s are
organised for this day. This is a compulsory day for all Year 11 students.
The Year 12 Retreat is held at a camp venue over two days in late Term 2. The
theme for this year level is "Motivation". This retreat enables our Year 12
students to reflect on their time at MRC and appreciate their transition from
child to young adult journey. The retreat is compulsory for all Year 12 students.
Renewals and Retreats allow our students allow our students to:
- take a pause from the "business" of everyday life
- have an opportunity to strengthen friendships
- take time for quiet prayer and reflection in a peaceful atmosphere
- a
fun 'time-out' for recreation, games, songs, learning and play

White House distances itself from Hilary Rosen
White House press secretary Jay Carney on Thursday distanced the Obama administration from Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen's controversial comments about Ann Romney, acknowledging the challenges of raising children and telling reporters that he hasn't seen Rosen in the West Wing all that often.
"I think we can all agree-- Democrats and Republicans -- that raising children is an extremely difficult job," Carney said near the start of the daily press briefing, where the first question from The Associated Presswas about Rosen.
The Obama campaign has been quick to make clear it does not stand by Rosen's assertion that the former Massachusetts governor's wife "has never worked a day in her life," and Carney joined in.
White House visitor logs include 35 visits by people named Hilary Rosen. But Carney said he couldn't verify that they were all made by the Democratic strategist. "I know three, personally, women named Hilary Rosen. So I'm not sure that those represent the person we're talking about necessarily, so I really can't comments on the number " he said. "She is a Democratic strategist, she is a CNN contributor ... I don't know how to assess her overall relationship with people here in the White House. But I have not seen her here very frequently."
"Let's focus on what the issue here is ... when it comes to what this administration has done for women, it begins with the president's signing of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act" and continues with his actions and positions on a string of other issues, Carney said.

why does the phoenix (billet 3)
Why does the phoenix want to garb me in fire? Another pile of ash on my pillow. Phoenix fiery billet-doux. "Things unintelligible, yet understood."

you will lose the path

do not regret the past.

you are the mud in which a stone is sunk.
clear your mind.
pick up the stone.
wetness skeins it like marble, smooth sculpted on
what shore?
where did you find this artifact?
what you call your life
is how you avoid living.
living–the outrageous adoration, absurd affirmation
of is'ness amidst all-vanish-es.
throw the stone of your heart
into the fire.
it might be an egg or a seed
that must be scorched

Lovers! Do not fling your carefully embroidered coat beneath the feet of your beloved! His beauty is appallingly evident but
you've pretty plumage, too. Keep the coat. There is a field littered with the stones that struck the sky's tarnished mirror. The cracks in its mirror are trees. When you walk that field, wrap your coat close. It will startle the landscape with a mis-stroke of color. Tenderly, tenderly it will open (like an undergarment) for whomever watches, waits (tending what sure fire?) for you to come home.

Kane's firm went through a rebranding process seven years ago, he said. "We knew the outcome we wanted but it was a journey to get there," he recalled. "You have to decide who you are, and what you are. We decided we wanted to focus on retirement planning. We wanted to be known as an elite retirement planning consultant."
Among the projects they embarked to achieve their goals were writing more articles and posting them on their website, and having them published whenever possible. The company's wholesaler gave them an idea to use at seminars, and they began holding regularly scheduled Breakfasts with Benefits using ERISA attorneys to build relationships. "You have to develop yourself as a resource through these people—accountants and attorneys—so they will want to recommend you," Kane said.
The financial services industry seems reluctant to use social media, an audience member said, and asked if there are appropriate ways to use the networks. Chepenik called social media extremely valuable. "Forget about the others," Parrish advised. "LinkedIn: Use it. It's one of the most powerful things out there."
Kane agreed, mentioning that he has used LinkedIn to start discussions in groups with HR representatives, chief financial officers, attorneys and accountants.
Asking for referrals can be tricky. "The best referrals happen when you're not there," Parrish said. The way to make this happen is by creating what he calls psychic real estate in the minds of the contact so that they have a solid understanding of the value you can bring to clients: "They should be able to articulate what you do and its value."
Chepenik advised networking and discussing best practices at conferences. "There are top producers here, and most will share marketing ideas," he said.

With all the delay and problems our state is having with its budget shortfalls, it looks like our state lawmakers are wearing blinders.
The blinders are being put on them by multibillion dollar energy companies that have spent $1 million in lobbying money in Pennsylvania this year to try to stop legislators from enacting a severance tax on natural gas extraction. Their money appears to be working, as the state budget negotiations are going forward without a severance tax that could bring hundreds of millions of dollars into the state coffers each year and should be included in budget negotiations.

Society is becoming increasingly aware of the need for the public sector to contribute to competitiveness in the economy. Globalization and the increasing complexity of financial and business decisions demand improved professional management of public resources.
In all Public Administrations, senior members take on the leadership of processes of significant change, and require strict training to consolidate knowledge and be able to develop their management skills. Leaders of public organizations and political leaders need to direct and motivate their teams, develop a strategic culture and implement a management model that gives structure to a well-defined policy .
IESE Business School, with the help of the Fundación Rafael del Pino, has designed a specific collaboration program to meet the real needs of public service leaders.

Here on the farm we've been hosting Wwoofers for a year now, and all of the experiences have been great. Meeting new people, living together and working to grow great food in a sustainable way is a unique and fulfilling experience.
Last season there were about twenty volunteers through and each one left their own mark on the farm. Some carved, some planted, some hauled compost. There was some sailboat repair done, as well as hiking and ocean fishing. Lots of beach fires with pots of mussels and evenings spent wandering the local beaches.This winter there's the logging operation in the park with our two ponies which Jules (a young lady from Maryland) is here helping to prepare for. So many things to do and see here, what a great experience its been over the past year.
Here's to (hoist mug now) hoping for an equally fulfilling and plentiful new year.

In fact, McCartney was so ubiquitous – he even smooched with Lady Gaga – this weekend that on Monday a "Who is Paul McCartney" twitter trend started . (Surely, it's a joke?)
Coldplay, Katy Perry, Tony Bennett and Neil Young plumbed Paul McCartney's vast songbook Friday night in taking the former Beatle on a musical journey of his more than 50-year career. They joined James Taylor, Diana Krall and Foo Fighters among others in launching Grammy weekend by honoring McCartney at the MusiCares tribute at Los Angeles Convention Center.
Among the star-studded crowd of 2,800 were Yoko Ono, "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson, David Crosby, Rosanna Arquette, Bonnie Raitt, Berry Gordy, Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson, music executive LA Reid, songwriter Diane Warren, Piers Morgan, and actor John Stamos.
Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin said, "We love Paul and we're happy to be here" before launching into "We Can Work It Out."
On Friday night McCartney treated the crowd to the same performance he would give Grammy audiences Sunday. He performed "My Valentine," a song he wrote for new wife Nancy Shevell, from his just released album "Kisses On the Bottom."
Paul McCartney closed the 54th Grammys ceremony last night with an "Abbey Road" medley of "Golden Slumbers," "Carry That Weight" and "The End."
He started at the piano and then moved to guitar and was joined in the bring-the-house-down collaboration by Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters, Bruce Springsteen and Joe Walsh of the Eagles.

The Matter With the Mainstream
Here we celebrate excellence. We bask in the radiance of America's Best Leaders, learning from their inspiring examples. Kudos to these men and women who change the world by leading with honor. They make us proud.
Thank goodness. Otherwise, we would never get relief from the other news about putative leaders: sordid sex scandals, costly wars waged on false pretenses, backdated stock options, or corporate ethics officers arrested for ethical violations (the HP privacy case). Name a big mainstream institution-Congress, the federal government, major corporations, churches, universities-and it's a good bet that at least one of its top executives has recently entered the Hall of Shame.
Perhaps that's why so many of the candidates for Best Leaders 2006 come from outside the establishment. In our selection committee meetings, we shared enthusiasm for social entrepreneurs who create organizations enabling others to serve society. We praised heroes of wars or natural disasters who offer selfless aid and comfort. We lauded physicians and scientists whose actions improve lives. But we struggled to find candidates for best-leader laurels from the traditional large institutions that dominate America, such as government and business.
We rejected household names, because celebrity is not leadership. We steered away from high positions, because command over resources is also not leadership, unless resources are used courageously to improve the state of the world. Thus, we netted few well-known members of the establishment.
So what's the matter with the mainstream?
Leadership was once equated with big responsibilities for the direction of big institutions. Today that connection is lost and even reversed. To be a large company's CEO, for example, is to be suspected of earning too much, promising too much, hiding too much. Only 18 percent of Americans responding to the Edelman Annual Trust Barometer survey find CEOs or CFOs the most credible source of information about companies; 68 percent place more trust in colleagues, family, and friends.
Think about that one for a moment-your neighbor is a better source of business information than the businesses themselves? Unless you live next door to Warren Buffett, that says a great deal about how strongly Americans feel that some corporate executives have joined other establishment bosses in letting us down. Some feel that Internet gossip is more credible than the mainstream media; others assume political candidates lie to gain power.
Ethical lapse. To give the folks at the top of mainstream institutions their due, it is increasingly hard to run a large organization flawlessly, even for the many excellent, ethical CEOs. In recent years, enterprises have become more complex, the world has generated more shocks and surprises, the public has been more polarized, and the Internet has produced more instant watchdogs and attack dogs. Mistakes and problems are inevitable in complex enterprises. Lapses from efficient, rational, law-abiding, or virtuous behavior are a constant danger. Sometimes this occurs because of flawed people, but more often it's because of ambiguous situations that require the juggling of competing demands (pay raises for workers or price cuts for customers?). We shouldn't expect heads of established organizations to be perfect, but we should expect them to catch and correct their mistakes quickly. When fumbles occur, denial is tempting, especially when people are pressured to promise strong results regardless of circumstances.

Dior Bronze Auto-bronzant - Self-Tanner Natural Glow - Body
Dior Bronze Auto-bronzant - Self-Tanner Natural Glow - Body Reviews
A Plus Bronzer.

Ok But Smell Overpowering
This self tanner worked pretty well but I just couldn't get over the overwhelming smell. It smells a lot like perfume which I don't really like too much of in my self tanners (unless it's tropical or coconut!). It's a shame because the tan I got with this was good. It looked very natural on my skin. I usually like my color a little darker but this gave me a medium to almost medium-light appear...read moreance. If it wasn't for the smell, I think this self tanner would make a good choice as a "winter" or everyday self tanning lotion. It also lasted quite a while on my skin. After 4 days, I could still see some of the original color. Obviously it had faded some, but from a distance I still looked like I had a sun-kissed glow. Anyway, this is a good self tanner, but I probably won;t use it once the bottle is empty because of the overpowering smell. — 1 month, 1 week agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 6 of 6 people said helpful
Great Self tanner
I've always like Dior's Self tanning products and this one is no exception. It goes on very easy, almost like a gel. The smell is a little "floral" for me but not too bad. The color that develops is a nice medium shade of bronze. If I want to get super dark, I use something else, but this produces a nice color for "average day" use. And it last for several days, which is a nice plus. Overall, I really like it :) — 4 months, 4 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 20 of 21 people said helpful

Education is pretty obviously one of the most important ways to combat poverty, and it certainly can't hurt in a recovery from a recession either. That hasn't stopped Ohio from cutting the budgets of charter schools. Through her short term teaching at Cleveland public schools, my wife (and I) became very aware of the beneficial role that charter schools play, especially when contrasted with some of the public schools. So I'm pretty sad to see this happen, and sadder still at the governor's campaign to destroy them entirely (points to Obama for calling him out on it).
Two stories from my wife outline my feelings about the situation: one, where she was tutoring at a shall-remain-nameless Cleveland public school, and the other from some time she spent helping students from a charter school.
At the public school, she was tutoring at-risk students with their science homework. They had not completed any homework at all that year (most students preferred not to take anything home since it just meant something else the security people had to go through at the metal scanners at the entrance), so she helped them work through it. It wasn't really that they couldn't do it, it was that they really disliked their teacher, so they refused to do anything she asked. The next day, when they miraculously turned in their homework, the teacher informed them that she wouldn't accept it because they must have cheated, because they were obviously too stupid to have done it correctly. She threw out the work. My wife was tempted to complain to someone, but was told there was no point because the teacher in question was the teacher's union representative.
At the charter school, my wife took students to visit nearby colleges to see which they wanted to attend. She asked them what they were looking forward to, and what they were afraid of. One said that the thing she was most upset about was that in going to college, she was going to have leave her school, which "she loved." I went to a nice suburban high school for four years, and I don't think I ever heard a single student say they loved school, much less this one specifically.
Yeah, yeah, anecdotes don't make a case. But what it comes down to is choice: every student at the charter school chose to go there. They could go back to their geographically segregated schools, but they and they parents didn't want to. By cutting funding for charter schools, we're making that choice more expensive for some of the poorest families in our city. Is that really what they need right now?
Pre-emptive counter-argument: if you think that the reason the charter students seemed happier was because of selection bias, that's probably somewhat true. By definition, they or their parents had made a choice in their schooling, implying a higher level of interest in succeeding at such things. But many of the students at the charter schools were neighbors of the students who attended the public school. They endured the same poverty, violence and other issues that plagued their neighborhoods. Yet one group loved school, and the other was told they were too stupid to succeed.
These kids aren't failing because they come from bad circumstances or because they're stupid or undisciplined. They're failing because the one thing that was promised to help them out of these situations is completely failing them. Charter schools are a chance, even for just a few, to escape that failure. They have even fewer resources than the public schools, yet some are succeeding. They're like lifeboats, and while I often disagree with the Cleveland Plain Dealer, I humbly submit the same sentiment from them:
[Ohio Governor] Strickland should think twice before ordering every child out of these little lifeboats, because some of them would certainly be forced back aboard sinking ships.
My only complaint is with the tense of verb used to describe the metaphorical ship that is the Cleveland public school system.
Pre-emptive counter-argument 2: it's not important that charter schools be superior to every public school, or even most of them. They just have to be better than the worst public schools in their area. And for schools in East Cleveland, that is a very low bar.

David Changs Ramen from Lucky Peach
Maybe you've heard of charismatic Korean-American chef, David Chang. You might be accused of living under a rock if you haven't. His much-hyped Momofuku (translation = Lucky Peach) restaurants in New York are notoriously difficult to secure a reservation at. His first restaurant Momofuku Noodle Bar opened in 2003. Chang took exclusivity to new heights in 2008 with Momofuku Ko, a 12-seat 2-Michelin starred eatery with an online-only reservation system that allows bookings only six days in advance. Momofuku Ssam Bar and Momofuku Milk Bar (whose 'Crack Pie' is currently being trademarked) opened within the same year. After publishing the Momofuku cookbook in 2009 he established Má Pêche and another two Milk Bar outposts followed. More locally and most recently he appeared in this year's Masterchef.
Inspired by visits to Australia, Chang will be opening a Sydney restaurant in the revamped Star Casino called Momofuku Seiōbo (pronounced say-oh-boh, being the Japanese queen goddess of the west) at the end of the year. Another two restaurants in Toronto are scheduled to open in 2012.
A lover of noodles, pork buns and expletives, Chang's enthusiasm for understanding and making the most of our senses while cooking and eating sees him on endless journeys of experimentation and scientific discovery.
Chang has made ramen, a Japanese noodle dish which is the equivalent of our Westernised chicken noodle soup, his personal Holy Grail, with extended trips to Japan to taste and understand the properties and techniques behind the best bowls. Chinese in origin, the Japanese really own ramen. Varieties differ not just region by region, but store to store within cities and villages.
Lucky for us, Chang put everything he knows about ramen in the first issue of a quarterly magazine he conceived called Lucky Peach. Yes, a whole magazine pretty much about one dish. Only someone as self-assured, passionate and enthusiastic for sharing stories and knowledge as David Chang could really pull off something so indulgent.
My experience cooking Japanese food starts and ends with sushi. At least until this week when I set myself the challenge to make David Chang's ramen from Lucky Peach.
After having put the pork shoulder in the fridge to marinate the evening before, I woke from a deep slumber with a rather nasty case of the flu. Determined to make the most of a day at home I soldiered on and made every element from scratch (hardly a stretch with most elements cooking themselves). I was rewarded with a soup of ultimate strength. Not in terms of flavours, which were subtle and supremely satisfying, but in terms of fortifying goodness. I woke the next day completely devoid of any flu symptoms. This ramen is a miracle in a bowl. Truly a chicken noodle soup x 1,000.
David Chang's Ramen from Lucky Peach
Pork Shoulder – start night before + 7 hours
Makes 1kg
1.25kg boneless pork shoulder with skin on
1.5tbs salt
1.5tbs sugar
Freshly ground black pepper
Place the pork in a baking tray. Season the shoulder with the salt, sugar and some freshly ground black pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and let it sit overnight in the fridge.
Seven hours before you plan to serve, preheat the oven to 120C. Place the seasoned pork in the oven to cook for a total of 6 hours. After 3 hours start basting the pork occasionally with the pan juices.
After 6 hours, take it out of the oven and leave it to rest on the bench for at least half an hour. Take off the pork crackle and either discard or share the spoils amongst the household (as if I would ever throw away crackle!). Using two forks, pull apart the meat into fringes of meat, known as pulled pork. Use at once in ramen or place in a container and store in the fridge or freezer until you are ready to use. Leftover pulled pork is great on sandwiches or bahn mi, so use the opportunity to cook extra.
Ramen Broth – 7 hours
Makes 4.5L
55g kombu (or wakame)
4.5L water
40g dried shitake mushrooms, ground to powder
2.25kg chicken necks
1 bunch spring onions, roots and whites only (reserve the green for final dish)
In a large stockpot, heat the water to 65C. Turn off the heat and steep the kombu (or wakame) for 1 hour (I used wakame. Kombu is difficult to come by due to import restrictions amid investigations into adverse health effects for people with thyroid disease who consume large quantities of iodine-rich seaweed).
Remove and discard the kombu (or wakame – I dug mine into the vegie patch) and add the chicken necks. Bring to a gentle simmer and skim off the scum that rises to the top during the first 15 minutes of simmering. Add the shiitakes and adjust the – 7 hours

Bring to a gentle simmer and skim off the scum that rises to the top during the first 15 minutes of simmering. Add the shiitakes and adjust the heat so the broth simmers gently as an occasional bubble rising to the top, but nothing violent. Let it simmer for 5 hours.
Skim back the stock and strain through a fine sieve. Add 2.5L of tap water to the stock to bring it back up to about 4.5L in total. Place in a fridge to chill.
If you want to freeze the stock you can reduce the broth by half after skimming and straining. Then when it comes time to serve, mix 3 parts reduced stock with 7 parts tap water.
Wakame before and after || Making alkaline baking soda for the noodles
Pulverising the shiitakes
Tare – 2 hours
Makes just under 2 cups
1 chicken back (I used 6 chicken necks)
½ cup sake
½ cup mirin
1 cup usukuchi (light) soy sauce
150g smoked bacon (I used regular bacon cut into large pieces)
Roast the chicken back (or necks) in the saucepan you'll later make the tare in. Start it out in the low oven at 120C, so it renders out some of the fat to cook in, or add a tiny bit of oil to the pan and cook over a medium high burner until it just starts to go brown. Increase the oven to 200C after 3 minutes and bake until you have a deep brown chicken back/necks to work with (about 20 minutes).
Remove the chicken back from the pan and add the sake. Scrape the pan to get all the tasty bits off the bottom. Return the chicken, set it over a medium-hot stove and add the remaining ingredients.
Lower the heat to get the contents of the pot to reach the barest of simmers. Keep it there for an 30 minutes to let the flavour infuse – you don't want to reduce the liquid.
Strain the meat and bone out of the tare and discard them; put the tare in the fridge to chill. The fat solidifies and rises to the top, which can then be added by the teaspoon to finish off bowls of soup.
The tare on slow simmer || The final result
Alkaline Noodles – 2 hours
Makes 6 portions
3 cups (440g) plain flour
4 tsp baked soda (see first step below)
½ cup (100g) warm tap water
½ cup (100g) cold tap water
Preheat oven to 130C. Spread a half-cup baking soda on a foil-lined baking tray and place in the oven for 1 hour. This process turns the baking soda into baked soda which will make the noodles alkaline. This alkalinity will give the noodles a smooth mouthfeel and unique flavour. Store the extra baked soda in a jar with a lid indefinitely.
Put the warm water in a large mixing bowl. Dissolve the baked soda in it then add the cold water. Add the flour, stirring and mixing to form a crumbly dough.
Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface. Knead it together for a full five minutes – you will get a good arm workout. Wrap the dough in plastic and let it rest on the bench for 20 minutes, then knead for another 5 minutes (another good workout opportunity). Rewrap the dough and put it in the fridge for at least an hour.
Divide the dough into six portions. Roll each portion out using a pasta machine. Start at the thickest setting, refolding the dough on itself several times before passing through at the same setting several times. Then move onto the next setting, repeating the process. The final thickness of the noodle is up to you, as far as width and shape into which you cut them, I only went to the second setting on my pasta machine. Then either finely hand cut them or use a spaghetti cutter or better still, an angel hair cutter. Keep the noodles well-floured to prevent them from sticking.
When you are ready to serve your ramen, cook the noodles in a deep pot with plenty of water. Thin noodles will only need two and half minutes to cook. Check the noodles regularly while they are cooking; if they stick together strain them from the post and rinse them under cold water immediately to stop cooking and allow you rinse off any excess starch.
Makes 6 x 800ml serves of finished ramen
1 batch ramen broth
1 batch alkaline noodles
1 batch pulled pork
1 bunch shallot greens, sliced finely
½ cup tare (reserving the solidified bacon fat)
5g salt
Place the broth in a large pot and season it with tare and salt to taste. Divide the seasoned broth between six warmed bowls.
Spoon a little of the bacon fat from the tare into each bowl and stir. Into each bowl add a portion of fresh alkaline noodles, a pile of pulled pork and a heap of green shallot. Enjoy!

Really impressed that you made this, and it looks so amazing! I would love to give it a go, except I've never tried ramen – it's on the list though!
I'm exhausted reading the recipe. Will look at ramen differently now.
My gosh that's a detailed, time-consuming recipe. But! The end result looks worth it!

Miss Eloise decided that I only had approximately 20 minutes to get my work done on the day of our session…this was how long she slept for as soon as I placed her down on the beanbag. After that, she was awake and alert (which seems to be a trend among newborns lately), wanting to see all going on around her! H. family – enjoy your preview and congratulations on your beautiful baby girl!
