Combination of i-worm and file infector of PE files.
i-worm: Copy itself with many various names.
In first Step creates it's own copy named Duel.exe with hiddeen attribute in folder %SystemRoot%\system32.
After that, create these registry keys
to run this copy.
In next step starts propagating itself with generic names on disk drive from where was executed at begining. In same time also modificates PE EXE files. There is always a pair of files: one with generic name and .duel extension and infected PE with .EXE extension in same folder.
Pay attention, also infects .RAR archive files (no matter if they contains EXE files or not). Adds a two copies of itself with generic names and .EXE extension in to the root of archives.
Its's running at its own name, visible at task list as process until Restart, Turn of or Logout/Login. There is no stealth or rootkit features. After that its runs as Duel.exe, also visible at task list on Process tab.
Parasitic file infector:
Modificates PE EXE files, keeps original size and time stamp. Modifies code and makes file corrupted (it's caused by error in viral code).
Infected file is modified always at the end of first section (in free space from section alingment). Here wrotes 0x98 bytes of viral code and rewrites entry point at this address, on end of its code writes jump at original entry point. Viral code is in general API funtion calls to run WinExec function with name of paired .duel file, that keeps infector alive.
Rmluder (check and repair all accessible disk drives)
Rmluder C: (check and repair entire C drive)
Rmluder C: D: (check and repair C a D drives)
Rmluder C:\Windows (check and repair files in folder C:\Windows)
Rmluder C:\Windows\explorer.exe (check and repair C:\Windows\explorer.exe)
Remover features:
if AVG is installed, correctly registrates itself in resident shield to aviod collision with it.
If is founded locked file (unable to open), remover arrange removing in time after booting computer when system files are not locked yet.
Files RMVIRUS.DOS and Rmvirus32.nt are part of remover for repairing before booting Windows 98 or Windows 2000
You must have administrator privilegies to run remover, remover test it at the begining.
Repaired files are difrent from odiginals (except a few), but they are working.
Download the following three files rmluder.exe, rmluder.nt and rmluder.dos and run the rmluder.exe.

Things I liked:The heavy barrel. Barrel is almost 5/8" in dia. and free floated so that means no barrel bands to worry about/not trust. I like that the magazine does not protrude above the receiver. The stock is a fantastic piece of walnut and sculpted with purpose. Fits like a glove. I can hardly walk past it without picking it up and shouldering it. Installed sling studs are great. Regulated! Not pellet fussy. The trigger is adjustable for physical position (crude but useful) as well as sear engagement and pull. Haven't messed with the sear. I prefer the trigger on my S500. But if I had to choose between the rifles, I would pick the R10.
Things I would have changed:I would like to see a more rounded corner on the bottom of the butt plate so it doesn't hang on my shirt when lowering the rifle. Mine came set up with the regulator set up to a relatively high pressure and a light hammer strike. Which was very efficient (lots of shots) but gave some variation of velocity during shot string. I lowered the regulator pressure and increased the hammer spring tension so the velocity would be stable at 845 fps (900 fps CPHP) and smoothly dropping off the regulator at around 130 bar. I think this is the ballistic sweet spot for this pellet for a 50 yard shot, but I am no expert. Also there is no cover for the fill probe socket. A foam ear plug works well here.
What others should know:The cheek piece is well suited to a high mounted scope. The bottle shaped reservoir is a more efficient use of material than a long slender tube. I believe this is where the weight savings came from to pay for the bull barrel, still leaving the R10 mk2 .25 lbs. lighter than the Air Arms S510 which has a thinner barrel. This is a robust, manly rifle. In my mind the barrel, hammer forged around a hardend mandrel, should leave a barrel without burrs. I do know that this rifle is astonishingly accurate. It will put pellets through the same exact hole at 25 yards and easily capable of 3/8" or less at 50 yards.
Things I liked:Lines on the gun are beautiful, and the balance is spot on for me (5'6"). The trigger is excellent, and now that I have several hundred pellets through it, the action is very smooth. Accuracy is great out to 100yds (though wind is a problem); shot count is great with the regulated output. Sling studs on stock make putting a bipod on a breeze. Magazines have a unique design, and no jams, smooth as butter. Available single shot adapter makes odd sized pellets feed easily. Not overly pellet fussy, but seems to like JSB jumbos so far. Very easy refill port with the gauge visible during the refill.
Things I would have changed:Trigger adjustments are not all available unless the stock is removed. It's a little louder than I would like even with the shroud (but the neighbors don't object when they see a rifle in the back yard making the noise!) and will probably eventually modify it to be quieter.
What others should know:Fits me better than an FX, and the Daystate seems very barrel heavy in comparison. Couldn't beat the price from Pyramyd Air, but they don't allow any advertised discounts beyond the stated price.
Things I liked:IMHO the R10 is one of the best looking guns around! The stock is gorgeous and it handles great. It comes with sling studs. Accuracy is phenomenal. Sound isn't to loud. Adjustable butt pad. The trigger is very crisp and easily adjustable. Reg can be adjusted w/o disassembly. Uninterrupted dovetail makes scope mounting a breeze.
Things I would have changed:The shroud is not vented at the muzzle, so all the shroud behind the muzzle is just cosmetic. If the shroud were vented then maybe the guns overall length could be reduced cause there are 8" in front of the muzzle for the sound suppression. After firing the last pellet in the mag it is possible to continue cycling the action and firing w/o pellet in gun. Please add blank spot in magazine so after firing last pellet then action can't cycle & notify shooter that mag is empty. Fix the setting of the reg from the factory. On two .22cal copies I received the reg was set to high resulting in an fps spike when the gun drops off the reg. I reduced the reg setting to 135 bar and now its averaging 900 fps (JSB 16gr) with no spike for 45 good shots from 230 bar before POI drops.
What others should know:If you mount a bipod on the front stud (like Caldwell or Harris ) you'll likely have to remove it each time you fill. So use a stud to picatinny adapter and a bipod that clamps to picatinny. This moves the bipod to the front of the stud leaving the fill port clear. The trigger isn't a true two stage unit. As far as sear engagement goes there is only the second stage. It is very easy to adjust but don't go to light or a strong bump might fire the gun. BSA barrels are known for accuracy. My .22cal R10 is shooting more accurately than my S410 rifle. Also the barrel has a nice stiff 15.5mm OD where many other guns are coming with more slender and flexible barrels. Dovetail is low or barrel is high (depending on your point of view) compared to other AGs so be prepared to buy high mounts. What are you waiting for?

The Mingo County Diabetes Association (MCDC) is hosting a series of hands-on tours to help area families learn how to make healthy choices on a limited budget.
The tours, called Shopping Matters, will demonstrate how to compare unit prices, purchase fruits and vegetables on a budget, compare food labels and choose whole grains.
The tours will take place at the South Williamson Walmart Monday, Feb. 11, and at Food City Monday and Tuesday, Feb. 18 and 19. Tours will begin at 11 a.m. and last roughly 90 minutes.
Kayla Whitt with MCDC, said she has seen the need in the community.
Mingo County has one of the highest rates of diabetes in West Virginia, third of any county in the state's 55 counties, after McDowell and Logan Counties.
The prevalence of diabetes in Mingo County is 13.7 percent, directly affecting approximately 1680 residents, as compared with 10.8 percent statewide and 8.6 percent nationally. The adult obesity rate in Mingo County, WV was 35.3 percent in 2007
"I'm hoping for a good turnout," Whitt said. "I know the need in this community is to be both healthy and stay within a budget. The program teaches new tricks to save money, and I am eager to see the reaction of participants when they realize they can do that."
Shopping Matters is a national program sponsored by ConAgra Foods. It is based on research that shows that careful food shopping practices, such as price comparisons and nutrition label use, are measures of dietary quality.
Carolyn Pinson, a MCDC volunteer, said the information she has received through the Coalition is already helping her live a healthier lifestyle.
"I am a newly diagnosed diabetic who has recently been educated on what to eat, and what not to eat through the diabetes clinic in Williamson," Pinson said. "I am glad I have been able to receive this information because eating healthy is important as a diabetic. I am very excited to see what else I will learn."
Cooking Matters has served more than 10,000 families each year since 1993, led by expert culinary and nutrition volunteers who teach how to select good tasting and low cost ingredients, stretch them across multiple meals and use healthy cooking techniques that help participants provide the best nourishment possible.
The tours are open to the public; there is no charge. For more information or to register, call the MCDC at 304 235-3400 between 9 a.m. to 4 a.m. or email Kayla Whitt at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Google as a Bank
The Economist compares Google with a bank that stores and manages a lot of information (some of it, personal information).
"Google is often compared to Microsoft (another enemy, incidentally); but its evolution is actually closer to that of the banking industry. Just as financial institutions grew to become repositories of people's money, and thus guardians of private information about their finances, Google is now turning into a custodian of a far wider and more intimate range of information about individuals. Yes, this applies also to rivals such as Yahoo! and Microsoft. But Google, through the sheer speed with which it accumulates the treasure of information, will be the one to test the limits of what society can tolerate." (my emphasis)
As with any bank, you need to trust it, to make sure it has transparent policies, that it serves your interests and it doesn't have "hidden costs". Your ISP, your doctor, your employee, your bank - all have a lot of personal information about you and some of it could migrate to online services like Google Health, Google Checkout, Google Web History or Google Web Accelerator. The worst thing that can happen to Google is losing the trust of its users, so Google has another incentive to not betray peoples, besides the mythical "Don't be evil" corporate motto.
The Economist thinks that Google should find the right balance between users' privacy and storing personal data indefinitely. Google already does a good job at explaining the consequences of your actions and how could some options affect your privacy, but it would be nice to expand the Web History to a big personal center that shows all the information Google has about you and provides ways to remove or export some of the information.
"Google in effect controls a dial that, as it sells ever more services to you, could move in two directions. Set to one side, Google could voluntarily destroy very quickly any user data that it collects. That would assure privacy, but it would limit Google's profits from selling to advertisers information about what you are doing, and make those services less useful. If the dial is set to the other side and Google hangs on to the information, the services will be more useful, but some dreadful intrusions into privacy could occur. The answer, as with banks in the past, must lie somewhere in the middle; and the right point for the dial is likely to change, as circumstances change."

Top Chef Season 10 Restaurant Wars Elimination: Are You Surprised?
Top Chef: Seattle aired a hotly anticipated guys vs. girls Restaurant Wars challenge tonight, January 16, and the results caught us fully off-guard.
Spoiler alert! If you haven't yet watched the episode, move along to something — anything! — else.
We'll give it to you Quickfire-like: During the episode, Sheldon's modernized Filipino restaurant, Urbano, faced off against Kristen's modernized French restaurant, Atelier Kwan. The non-surprises of the evening were that the food, for the most part, was extremely tasty, and Stefan made an ass of himself as the front-of-house manager for Urbano.
Despite the error of Stefan's table-waiting ways, Urbano ended up winning the competition (Toyota Avalon for Sheldon!) — and it was all thanks to Josie's massively disappointing bouillabaisse. Sheldon's victory got us pumped, because while watching Atelier Kwan get the full-on Tom-is-disappointed treatment, we thought, "Sweet, this will be the dish that finally sends the Josie Show home."
But then Kristen shot herself in the foot — or, as Padma put it, threw herself on her sword (why not a knife, Padma? That would be the more appropriate metaphor) — by taking the blame for the dish, opting to not go off about Josie's time management missteps.
One commercial break later, in which we fervently hoped Gail would talk her fellow foodies into keeping Kristen around, Padma told Josie that she was safe (Padma never does that, such a tease) — and then stabbed Kristen with those six little words no cheftestant wants to hear: "Please pack your knives and go."
So in the end, Kristen was sent home over Josie, who was technically responsible for the un-sauced bouillabaisse.
We're reeling, because we're Team Kristen all the way. Fortunately, she's crushed CJ on Last Chance Kitchen, so fingers crossed that she makes it back in!
Are you as shocked as we are? Sound off below!

McFly to play Whitehaven Festival
Last updated at 09:59, Thursday, 07 February 2013
McFLY – one of the biggest pop bands to come out of the UK – are set to play in Whitehaven. And demand for tickets is so high it has already crashed a ticket website!
Organisers of this year's Whitehaven Festival have pulled off one of their biggest triumphs so far in the event's 14-year history.
They've played to sell-out crowds of tens of thousands all over the world and on Friday, June 21, McFly will perform on Whitehaven's harbourside.
Tickets only went on sale today but already demand has crashed the festival's website. "Its all down to the sheer numbers of people trying to log on this morning," said festival chief executive Gerard Richardson. "We can only apologise - we've got techhies looking at it and hopefully we should be back up and running later today."
The award-winning band will belt out hits such as Room On The 3rd Floor, Obviously, Five Colours in her Hair, All About You, Transylvania, Party Girl and Star Girl.
Tickets – priced £39.99 (no booking fee) – are expected to sell quickly. They are only available online from www.richardsonsofwhitehaven.co.uk
Mr Richardson said there had been a lot of discussion before finally clinching the deal. "I'm delighted it's come to fruition – we started negotiations last October. The more in demand a band are, the harder it is to get them. We took a real gamble but it paid off and shows good things are worth waiting for," he said.
The multi-million-record selling band consists of Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Dougie Poynter and Harry Judd, who say they are looking forward to the up-close-and-personal gig. They told The Whitehaven News: "We are delighted to be able to add the Whitehaven Festival to our gigs this summer. We have never played West Cumbria but we know they like their music events up there and it's always great to play a new gig.
"We will be doing all our greatest hits and it will be a great gig."
As well as their outstanding pop success, individually they have also been hitting the headlines. Drummer Harry was voted the winner of the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing in 2011 and in the same year Dougie won I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.
This year the band are playing their Memory Lane: The Best Of Tour 2013 across the UK.
Copeland Council leader Elaine Woodburn said this week: "The festival continues to draw some fantastic musical talent to Whitehaven each year, and this year's line-up is even better. The teenager in me cannot wait to welcome McFly to Whitehaven, and as much as I pretend this won't happen, I know I'll be at the front dancing along with everyone else!
"I congratulate the Whitehaven Festival team, once again, for their hard work and commitment, which has once again proved successful."
The annual event's main sponsors are Britain's Energy Coast (BEC), Nuclear Management Partners (NMP) and the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA).
The McFly gig will be all-standing and there will be a support band on the night.
The harbourside arena will once again have a 2,000 capacity and this year, for the first time, the stage will face the sea.
Tickets for the festival's Saturday night gig featuring Slade, The Sweet and Bruce Foxton's From The Jam are also on sale from the same website.

Have your say
Well done whitehaven! Me an Shakkie are coming over, hope the McFly boys make some berserk noise!
I couldn't be happier about this. I have travelled all over to see McFly since they've been about. Seen them 9 times in total so this is going to be my 10th (IN MY HOME TOWWWNNNN!!!). I have Harrys drumsticks, Toms sweaty towel and Dannys water bottle so this time I will have to get something off Dougie then I will have a complete colection! I will be the one stood outside from the early hours to make sure I get to the front. Ohhh yes!

I don't have it myself, but a guest swatched NYX's pencil range here, and Black Bean seems rather similar. Benefit Bronze Have More Fun is warmer.

News Detail
Kent State University to Offer New Bachelor Degree in Public HealthPosted Oct. 28, 2009
Kent State University has received approval by the Ohio Board of Regents to offer a bachelor of science (B.S.P.H.) degree in public health. Kent State University is currently accepting applications for the B.S.P.H. program for fall 2010, and courses will be available this spring semester through the Experimental Programs (EXPR) Division. The College of Public Health is also planning an undergraduate certificate in public health.
This is the first degree program of Kent State's newly created College of Public Health, Ohio's second college of public health. The new college was established to help meet the demonstrated state and national need for public health professionals. In Ohio alone, the projected shortage of educated and trained public health professionals is estimated to be in excess of 10,000 workers by 2020. Kent State's College of Public Health is also a response to the University System of Ohio strategic plan, which asks universities to leverage existing areas of excellence to improve education, research, service and economic opportunities across Northeast Ohio and the eastern half of the state.
"This new public health bachelor's degree and our College of Public Health leverage our nationally recognized expertise in health and behavior, nursing, biopreparedness, and violence prevention," said Kent State President Lester A. Lefton. "Kent State is ideally positioned to produce knowledgeable, well-trained public health professionals to help meet this growing workforce demand for Ohio and our nation."
According to a February 2008 report by the Association of Schools of Public Health, America will need 250,000 more public health workers by 2020 – a well-educated, technologically savvy and multidisciplinary workforce that includes epidemiologists, biostatisticians, health educators, health program administrators, health policy analysts, public health physicians and nurses, and occupational and environmental health specialists.
"Public health has an important role to play in reshaping the U.S. health care system," said Kent State Provost and Senior Vice President Robert Frank, who also is serving as acting dean of the College of Public Health. "The science of prevention, the study of disease causation, and the investigation into environmental and social determinants of health – all core to public health – will continue to inform the health care reform debate. Kent State's College of Public Health will prepare students to meet the challenges future leaders in health-related professions will face. The college's faculty will produce cutting-edge research to advance the knowledge of how to keep people safe, healthy and productive."
Kent State's College of Public Health currently has 15 faculty members specializing in epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health, social and behavioral science, and health policy and management. The college expects to have 25 full-time faculty members. In addition to the bachelor's degree, Kent State's College of Public Health plans to offer master's and doctoral degrees beginning in 2010.
For more information on the College of Public Health and the new bachelor of science degree in public health, call 330-672-6500 or visit www.kent.edu/academics/publichealth.

Cumbria computer firm warns over scam virus calls
Last updated at 13:27, Thursday, 02 September 2010
Computer owners are being warned about cold callers who claim their computer is infected with a virus.
The caller then offers to fix the problem, charging up to £170.
Paul Gordon, who runs At Home PC in Port Road, Carlisle, has been contacted by 30 concerned clients who have received unsolicited phone calls from call centres in India.
He says that, in many cases, the computer is not infected.
And in any case the anti-virus software offered is available free from other sources.
Mr Gordon said: "Some have gone through with it and paid. I'm concerned people are being ripped off."
The caller addresses the person by name and says he understands they have registered an error report with Microsoft – something almost all computer users have done at some time.
The caller gets them to press a sequence of keys, which throw up innocuous error messages that the caller claims shows their computer is infected with a virus.
The caller then offers to take control of their computer to fix the problem and download anti-virus software.
Gareth Ellis, who trades as PC Fixer in Carlisle and north Cumbria, describes it as a scam.
He said: "The callers can be quite intimidating. They try to frighten the person answering the phone. They are very persistent."
Richard Haugh, 76, of Thursby, paid £35 after receiving such a call – then regretted it.
He said: "My computer had been running slowly and I got the impression from the man who called that Microsoft had been on to them about the problem.
"He did these checks and was saying, 'Oh my God, you're in trouble'. He said my computer could crash at any time and I could lose everything on it."
Mr Haugh is worried the caller may have downloaded more than anti-virus software and could have access to personal information on his computer.
Mr Gordon has found 'key-logging' programmes on two computers that received downloads.
These can pass on details of passwords and user names for internet banking and other sensitive services.
The News & Star contacted Comantra, one of the India-based organisations cold calling in Cumbria.
Manager Roger Smith said the firm's sales leads came from a research team, not Microsoft, and that his staff never claimed to represent Microsoft.
He accepted that the software Comantra offers is available free on the internet.
But he added: "We provide a service. People pay for the service, not the software."
Cumbria Trading Standards is aware of the calls.
A spokesman said: "The advice we would give to consumers is not to give out personal information when somebody just phones you up.
"Only deal with people you trust. Reputable businesses have strict procedures for how they contact you. They don't just ring you up out of the blue."

Have your say
I recieved an international call on my phone from an unknown number. The call was from an asian, possibly indian call centre.The Conversation went along these lines(i have slightly paraphrased parts):
Me: Hello
Me: Hello
Them: Hello? My name is .. and I am calling from MSIT Information Institute. I am calling because you have a virus on you machine and it is my purpose to help you remove the virus.
Me: erm...ok
Them: Do you use a computer?
Me: No (a lie)
Them: It is my belief that your computer has a virus, can you please go to your computer?
Me: Which computer?
Them: The one running Microsoft Windows.
Me: Erm, Ok, your going to need to be more specific. Do you mean windows XP, Vista, 7 etc
Them: Oh, XP. XP definetly XP.
Me: I don't have a Windows XP machine.
Them: What operating system do you use on your PC, can you go sit in front of it.
Me: I never said I had a PC.
Them: You answered yes at the begining. Why would you lie? Why would you waste my time?
Me: I actually said no, you just carried on regardless.
.....Phone dead, end of conversation lasted about 2 minutes.I was curious about what they were trying to do, but at the same time, I don't want to divulge any information to them. Just simply aknowledging that you have a pc could be the type of information that could be added to the database they already have that I would assume you are already a part of if you get that call.I am registered with tps for what it is worth. Its obvious that they ignore that list.
There is another one doing the rounds - again, an Indian call centre, telling you that they are from your bank and that you've paid too much interest on a loan. This happened to a friend and they asked her date of birth but no account details which is weird. There have been 2 or 3 calls since along the same lines. Obviously she told her bank and the police but does anyone know what is going on here as it's unnerving her.

Super Narrow, not practical for average feet These are really narrow on the top of the shoe. I held them up to my older Bebe flip flops and there was a huge difference in width. June 12, 2013
Not that cute Got them in the pink lemonade. Colors of straps and bottom are not the same. Also fit strange. I loved the ones from previous years with the Bebe in crystals on the straps. These will be ok for just hanging at home pool. June 1, 2013

A Creston man spent nearly nine hours unconscious in the remains of his destroyed vehicle after an accident late Thursday, Oct. 11, along N.C. 194 between Warrensville and Lansing.
Justin Canter, 20, of Creston, remains in critical condition at Wake Forest Baptist Memorial Hospital after undergoing surgery Friday afternoon.
His injuries came as a result of an accident that is believed to have occurred late Thursday night, Oct. 11, said N.C. Highway Patrolman R.A. Annas.
On Friday morning, at approximatley 10 a.m. residents along Campbell Road in the Lansing community spotted the remains of Canter's Nissan 300SX, overturned at the edge of the bank of the New River, with Canter still trapped in the vehicle unconscious.
Canter was originally transported to Ashe Memorial Hospital for treatment. He was then moved to Wake Forest Baptist Memorial Hospital early Friday afternoon.
According to Annas, Cantor was traveling north on N.C. 194 when his vehicle left the roadway just where the bridge that crosses the New River off Campbell Road. After slamming into a concrete edge on the bridge, the car became airborne crashing into the ground below, coming to rest at the river's bank.
There were no skid marks leading up to the scene of the accident
A first responder at the scene said Canter was unconscious, but still alive, when help arrived.
Trooper Annas said charges will be filed against Canter at a later date.
The groups responding to the call included the Warrensville Volunteer Fire Department, members of the Lansing Volunteer Fire Department, the Ashe County Rescue Squad, and Blue Ridge Medical Transport.

(January 21, 2013) -- Mexia native Kelvin Beachum just finished his rookie year with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
It's a dream come true for Beachum, who had his sights set on the NFL when he was just in high school.
But the same opportunities weren't always available for guys like Rodrigo Barnes.
"You could be a teacher. Maybe if you could go to college, a teacher and then an athlete," Barnes said.
Barnes started playing football his sophomore year at G.W. Carver in Waco. He later became one of the first ever African-American football players at Rice University.
"We had three African Americans out of the 12 from Waco," said Barnes.
Today, more than 60 percent of NFL players are minorities. Both Barnes and Beachum say it wouldn't be possible without the work done by Martin Luther King Junior.
"African-American athletes all over the world owe it to MLK for breaking bonds and breaking chains," Beachum said.

SA misses nautical placename opportunity

In a move that will have Australia's nautical toponymists braying for blood, Centrex has scuttled South Australia's last best hope of an interesting maritime place name.

Coups and sovereign risk silence Rio's trumpets of growth

Simandou in Guinea. Oyu Tolgoy in Mongolia. Madagascar mineral sands.

Such is Tom's similarity to twins Charlie and Craig Reid, founders of Auchtermuchty duo The Proclaimers, institutional investors have speculated he would be a logical addition to the band's line-up.

I'm by no means a writer, but I can at least read. For the love of god Stephen please give Roland Peace and rewrite the ending to the Dark Tower, here is the tale of really what happened from the beam to me. For you fell victim to the Crimson King. So here's what really happened to Roland you can use this to rewrite the ending and to set things right.
Last night after 8 years I figured out the real ending to the book. Spoiler if you have not read.
Rolands Redemption Song.
When Roland reaches the top of the tower he see's the door with his name on it but before he opens it he reaches down to his side to touch the horn of cuthbert, and the flash of his story to date happens before his eyes, he decides not to open the door but go back down the tower, and enter the door to save susan before she is burned alive he enters the world just in time to save her he enters through a magic door above Susan and tells the people he is Author Eld and what there doing is wrong as Ruu of the Coo that witch bitch tries to open her mouth Roland blows her brains out, he then frees Susan and rides of to meet up with Roland finding him right before the pink glam is going to whisk him away and show him the tower, at that moment he shoots the pink ball shattering it forever, but young Roland in reaction shoots Roland who falls to the ground dying, young Roland is united with Susan but confused at who the old stranger might be, Susan tells him it's Author Eld himself come back to save her, dying Roland says ah Gunslinger death for me but never for you, at this point a crow(Martin) watching the seen seeing the glam has been destroyed and Roland lays dying flies off when the crow is suddenly nailed by a hawk, instantly the crow transforms into Martin and the hawk is attacking his face and in an instant he is shot dead by both the old and young Roland. Then Roland with his dying breath says Long days and pleasant nights I go to my clearing. Then he wakes up in that rc fake cola, merker scropio world where he is in front of a great feast next to an older Susan it is Christmas and all his family is there his son Jake, eddie dean and his wife Detta Dean, his old friend Cuthbert and Alain and the 3 old guys who took care of the rose all those years, and Oy as a golden shepard and a parrot named david squaking beans beans, and Rolands mom and dad sitting in rockers and in the middle of the table is the most spectacular rose as we zoom in on the rose where transported to a different scene, where back in Gilied at an even more spectacular feast celebrating the defeat of John Farson and the marriage of Roland and Susan, and this time everyone is still alive Stephen, Rolands mom, Cort, Vannay. It ends with Roland and Susan kissing and everyone cheering, then we leave this scene and go to the tower but the crimson king has arrived at the entrance to the field of roses and in his hand is one of rolands guns perhaps the gun thrown away by detta walker in a certain trash can. He thinks he has finally figured how to enter the tower but unfortunately he is attacked by a huge bear he is one of the 12 guardians the crimson king turns into a spider and starts to quickly run away only to find himself pursued by all the guardians but the crimson king escapes into a cave where he gets away, accept its not a cave at all but the mouth of a giant turtle the guardian, and the crimson king was his lunch. The End and that's how the story really ends, because Stephen himself said this is not his story he was merely channeling the tale but he could no longer here the music but I have finally set things straight so Stephen you need to write a wrong how could you ever do that to Roland you got lazy and forgot the face of your father, this is not your story but I have now set things right so fix it, or I will Misery your ass.

If you haven't tried Audible yet, but want to, you can get a free download by going to audiblepodcast.com/imore -- they occasionally sponsor our podcast, but the free download link seems to always work.
Audible updates their interface, improves cellular downloads, adds iPad support
Audible has released a major update to its iOS app, finally adding iPad support. Previously limited to the iPhone and iPod touch, Audible is now a universal app. In addition to iPad support, version 2.0 also boasts a updated interface for the iPhone, adding larger playback buttons, along with improved navigation and a new library filter that allows you to hide titles that you have finished.
Finally, Audible now allows you to download up to three hours of audio over cellular, either 3G or LTE. The ability to download the portion of your next book without having to find Wi-Fi will be a boon to the many users who listen to audiobooks while on the go.
Unfortunately, there is still no way to purchase audiobooks directly from the app. You can download any book that's already in your collection, but you must by the book on the Audible website first in order to do so. Given Apple's rules on in-app purchases -- namely that Apple gets 30% of all purchases -- it makes sense that Amazon, which owns Audible, wouldn't want to give up all their own profits just to sell content through the app. They do the same thing with the Kindle app.
Ultimately, users don't care why they can't get content, they just care that they can't get it. So let's everyone figure that out.
If you're an Audible user, this update is a must-have. Grab it, and make sure to head on over to our iMore books forum and let us know what you're currently reading.

In the latest episode of Fifth Gear, Jason Plato has a go in BMW's flagship convertible – the F12 M6 Convertible, boasting 560hp / 501 lb-ft torque from its twin turbo V8 S63Tu motor, but weighting in at 4,530 pounds.
Plato praises the power delivery and sound from the new S63Tu based powertrain. He achieves 0-62mph in 4.3 seconds for the M6 convertible in his test.
Although the car weighs in at 4,530 pounds, it never feels like it to according to Plato. There's a bit of … CONTINUED

In terms of M cars at the 2013 Geneva show, BMW has brought out two M6 models – a Frozen Silverstone M6 Gran Coupe and a San Marino Blue M6 Convertible.
Unfortunately, there has been no sign of the F80 M3 concept, which many speculated may be making its debut here at the show. We've reported in the past that we believe (and still do) that the F80 M3 concept will instead bow in September at the Frankfurt Auto Show.
The 560 hp M6 Gran Coupe was … CONTINUED
These guys at TFLcar.com the F12 M6 Coupe a mile above sea level, with the help of the BMW launch control feature.
Did it dramatically affected the 0-60 time? Enough to beat the new Mercedes SL? Find out inside.
Watch as a member's F13 M6 Coupe takes down a Nissan GT-R from a roll (at 50km/h or 31mph) and in second gear. The GT-R may be godzilla from a dig (standing start), but the M6 eats godzilla on this day from a roll.
Review by Chris Harris pitting the BMW M6 (F13) against the Mercedes SL63 AMG.
With over 1100hp combined these are the ultimate super-heated GT cars. Fast enough to match a 911 Turbo, comfy enough to cruise a continent.
Here are results from the Sport Auto performance test comparing the 2013 Alpina B6 (F13) versus the 2013 M6 (F13) coupe.
The Alpina B6 Biturbo (full specs) is powered by BMW's 4.4L V8 engine rated at 540hp and 730nm torque and top speed of 334 km/h.
The M6 features 560hp and 680Nm torque with a top speed of 305 km/h.
Now here's a shade of color that's rare even among the custom BMW Individual colors that we've seen ordered for late model BMWs – Oxford Green, a color that hasn't been offered as a standard BMW color for years now.
We would never have guessed that it would look so good on the 2013 M6 (F13) coupe, but it actually works pretty well in our opinion. Not many exterior colors can pull off a champagne tan interior such as this, but Oxford Green happens to … CONTINUED
Car and Driver shares their comparison pitting the F10 M5 versus the F13 M6 at the Anglesey Circuit in the UK to see if the M6 is truly better at the track than the M5, as advertised.
The M5 and M6 share the same 560hp powertrain, but the M6 is billed as being even more suited for the track with its lighter weight (about 100 pounds), lower center of gravity (due to lighter carbon roof and lower roofline) and slighter faster acceleration (about a tenth of … CONTINUED

Is your Verizon or Sprint iPhone 5 displaying the wrong date and time?
We are receiving reports from Verizon iPhone 5 users that their iPhones are randomly displaying the incorrect date and time causing iMessage to fail, and even worse, alarms not going off in time to wake up for work. There is a thread in the Apple Support Community with many users, including a few Sprint users, reporting the same issue.
Woke up yesterday and was very confused because my phone thought it was 8/26/12 and 30 minutes later than the actual time. I reset network settings and it self resolved...until this morning. I woke up and looked at my phone and had a melt down because my alarm never went off. I hurriedly got ready and looked at the microwave as I ran out, and it was 30 minutes earlier than my iPhone said.
The temporary fix seems to disable automatic date and time by going to Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically > OFF.
Are any other Verizon or Sprint users experiencing this issue? If so, please head to our forums and tell us all about it!

Is your Verizon or Sprint iPhone 5 displaying the wrong date and time?
This was happening from the first day I got my iPhone 5 which was on launch day. I called Verizon right away, the guy told me to wait till the following Tuesday because they were aware of the problem and were pushing out an update for it. So I waited, never got an update, called back and was told that the first guy was full of b.s. and they had never heard of the problem. Ended up getting a new replacement from my local apple store. I continue to have problems with this one on occasion as well. The fix for me seems to be turning the LTE switch on and off. Sometimes I have to switch it off and restart the phone. It does seem to be related to the LTE in my opinion. If I leave it on 3G only, it never gives me problems. Hope they figure it out. Not a huge problem for me but definitely a nuisance!
Got my phone on first day from a Verizon store, all was well for a couple of weeks and then the date issue came up. Took the phone to the Apple Store and they issued a replacement; so far, all is well...
I have a Verizon iPhone 5 in the US and have not had any issues with my date or time.
My iPhone 5 was showing the time wrong earlier this evening. I did a reboot and no problem since.
My Verizon iPhone 5 loses about 3 minutes even when auto update of time is turned off. Loses weeks and has crazy times if turned on.
It loses the 3 minutes in the mornings and evenings before I leave home or after arriving. Or when out and about. Very annoying problem. I refuse to disable LTE to see if that fixes it because that's why I upgraded from my 4S.
Nope. Verizon LTE here.
YES!! It's absolutely annoying! It has happened DAILY (generally between 1030 and 1200) since Saturday. I am getting rather frustrated. I like having "Set Automatically" on, because all clocks eventually get a little ahead or behind. It's nice to have it check itself constantly, but not when it shows me that it's 0530 when I check my phone at 1112! UGH! Hope there's a fix SOON!
oh, by the way, I'm using the iPhone 5 on Verizon's AMAZING LTE connection! I'm loving the service, just not this date/time issue. Glad I switched from AT&T.... GOOD RIDDANCE!
It is not. I have the iPhone 5 from Verizon and its fine!
iPhone 5 on Verizon with no issues and my auto date & time has been on since day 1
I am on Verizon, and this issue has been happening with my iPhone 5 at least 2-3 times per day. Seems like the only way for it to reset back to its original date and time is when I do a hard reboot. Getting just a LITTLE tired of it..
Samsung Stellar phone with Verizon just had the Auto-time go 5 minutes fast yesterday. I chatted with Verizon and they did not know this was happening. Their solution was turn auto-time to manual. I did that and for calendar and location services it needs to be auto-time. I think this is a hardware issue and Verizon does not know about this issue. Does anybody know what is the proper resolution to fix auto-time and still use auto-time?
My I 5 started doing this today on the sprint network. it is set to automaticly update date and time using cullular data and keeps changing the time.

Jason enters the shack in Hawaii and finds a bottle of beer with a note. He assumes it's from Sam. He sips the beer, opens the letter and reads, "A toast to the grand finale. You'll never guess what happens next." Sam returns to an empty house and finds a letter waiting and bottle of beer waiting for her as well. It says, "I'm way ahead of you."
Jason wakes up in a strange room. He sees Franco's monkey on the TV monitor. The monitor switches to the Hawaiian hut so he can see Sam taking a shower. Jason desperately yells out for Franco to come after him and to leave Sam alone. He watches on the monitor as Franco approaches Sam in the shower.

Arykah Moore, 15, and Glenn Rabon, 15, -- both 10th graders at Summerville High School – are in college…in high school.
And they love it.
Fifteen and in college? Absolutely, and both have already earned six credit hours after their first summer session through the Dorchester District Two/Trident Technical College Early College Program.
Proud? You bet. Moore earned two A's and Rabon an A and a B. Further, because they are in a dual degree program, the weight of these grades is higher than those earned in AP (Advanced Placement) classes or CP (College Preparatory) classes.
One of Moore's A's is weighted at 5.8 – well above the 4.0 the other levels will earn.
"It is definitely better to take the higher level," says Rabon, "they are weighted much higher."
So why would two 15-year-olds want to give up their summer vacation to go to school?
"It's a good opportunity to earn college credit," they agree. "And it's exciting."
"I like it because it is actual college – Trident – as opposed to AP classes," says Moore.
"AP is not as good as actual college," adds Rabon, "and to be able to earn them [credits] for free is nice too!"
The early college program is funded by both Trident and DD2.
So what is the difference between AP and these courses?
"They are more relaxed … in class," says Rabon, "and the teachers are different. It's a quicker pace. The teachers are older [more experienced] and seem better able to talk about real things."
Rabon says he feels that the Trident teachers make better connections between the real world and the material being taught.
The two took Psychology 201 and Intro to Computers over the six-week, four day per week summer "semester."
This semester, at Summerville High School, they will take English 101 and Art History 101. Next semester they will take English 102 and American Government.
In addition to the two college courses, they will also take high school courses such as Biology, Economics, Lowcountry History, Algebra 2, Spanish 2, Precalculus and Latin 2 over the next two semesters. And next summer, they will take two more courses. By the time they graduate high school, they will have earned both a high school diploma and an Associate's Degree putting them far ahead of their cohorts.
Rabon wants to go into medicine and has his eye on Clemson as his college of choice. Moore wants to become a psychiatrist and she wants to go to Oklahoma City University because of its women's wrestling team.
Moore gave up a wrestling tournament this summer in order to go to school. The tournament was in the middle of classes.
"I was upset [to miss the tournament] but I got over it," smiled Moore.
Rabon plays football and baseball and he had to juggle summer practice with classes. He says his coaches were not happy about that but "it was school, they couldn't do anything about it."
Initially, they agree, it was a bit scary but Moore says they learned to relax. "Take a deep breath," adds Rabon, and get on with it.
Both have their parents' whole-hearted support.
So what have they learned so far?
"I realized it is, like, a huge difference between college and high school," offers Rabon. "In high school the day drags but in these classes the time flew by."
"And the teacher wasn't 'dogging' you."
They agree that they feel students in the college classes are treated with more respect than they are in their high school classes.
"They treat us like adults," says Moore. "It's more of your accomplishment than the teacher's."
"In high school, they teach you the lesson point by point," explains Rabon. "In college there is not enough time so you are expected to be more grown up and do a lot of the work yourself."
They say there were surprised but favorably so, at the amount of self-responsibility that was expected of them at the college level.
Both young people speak with maturity and poise about their experience.
And they have some wise advice for uprising freshmen: "They should definitely do it [early college] because it will get you a job sooner and decrease your school loans."
