Long story short, my Ubuntu partition and my Windows 8 partition had a fight, and they both lost. I have a computer booting nothing at the moment. So I'm trying to figure out how to get a clean-install of Windows 8 on my laptop. The usual refresh/reset features are out. There are no backups. Recovery partitions are gone.
Ideally, I need a Windows 8 (not Pro) ISO to install, but despite my searches, I cannot seem to find one. Anyone have any ideas how I can reset my PC and install Windows 8 again?

Famitsu has gone up with its latest online preview of Guilty Gear Xrd: Revelator, introducing newly confirmed playable character Raven.
Raven, voiced by Hiroki Yasumoto, is the right-hand man and swears absolute loyalty to "That Man," and holds the key to the story. He has an immortal body and no life span. Although he feels almost nothing, only pain lets him taste that fresh sensation.
Raven has long-reaching attacks, meaning he specializes in fighting from the middle of the field. His biggest appeal is his "I Want It Here" special move which fills a special gauge that powers up all sorts of his attacks. During the power-up, in addition to increasing his pure offensive ability, it also changes the performance of some of his special attacks. Since receiving too much damage will naturally knock you out, managing Raven's health is more important compared to when playing as other characters.
Guilty Gear Xrd: Revelator is due out PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 on May 27 in Japan, June 7 in North America, and June 10 in Europe.

3 Things to Consider About Your Medical Marijuana Business
Choosing to own a medical marijuana business is a big move, and one that takes a lot of planning on your part. Not only do you have to deal with the normal stress of owning a business, but you also need to take legal issues into account when making your decisions. Read on for a few things you should be considering.
This refers not only to legal issues, but also to public favor. Currently, there are 23 states, plus the District of Columbia, which allow medical marijuana. So obviously, these are your options in terms of legality. But past that, you should also be looking into where you will have the most favorable public surrounding you. While 76% of doctors now approve the use of medical marijuana and 92% of patients believe it works, that doesn't mean everyon

Organic Jarred Food vs. Homemade...what's the difference?
Since most organic jarred foods have no additives or preservatives and are just fruit(or)veggie & water...why are they be considered different from homemade food. I am stuck in the middle of making my own or buying organic. I don't see the problem with organic if it is still all natural..is there something I'm not reading about?
#1 - I know making my own will be cheaper which is not a concern.
#2 - Jarred food is defiantly more convenient, (working mom here).
# 3 - Not interested in "baby-led weaning" system.
Oh..and besides the fact there are more choices with homemade food.

The only advantage of making your own over jarred food is cost. Some things, like bananas, just don't require any prep, so buying them is sort of pointless. As far as safety, jarred baby food CAN have recalls, but your homemade organic food can also be contaminated with e.coli. Jarred food is also safer to use away from home. Restaurant food can be contaminated. Your MIL may not cook things to your satisfaction. Your homemade food could melt early and be laden with bacteria by the time you feed baby at the mall.
I would add that meat made at home smells better than jarred meat, but if you have ever canned your own meat, you realize that it is the process of canning that gives that odd odor.
<<Loaded with crap the baby doesn't need.>>
Yeah, right. Some people just want to stay on their bandwagon. Jarred food has changed dramatically in 20 years. Gerber is also organic.

well, the way I see it are those foods are just a label and a promise, whereas if you make your own you know what is in there 100%. But unless you are actually growing your own veggies and such the only difference is I'm sure the jarred foods contain some type of preservative. If thats not an issue for you, then feel free to use one or the other or a combo of both...homemade when you have the time and jarred when you are on the run.

Well, let's see - jarred is like the "fast food" of baby food. Loaded with crap the baby doesn't need. Homemade is much healthier and you know what your baby is eating. Check out www.wholesomebabyfood.com It's a site with recipes for baby that you can make yourself.
The problem with jarred foods is that being mass produced you cannot be sure of the quality of the food your baby is getting. For example, do you think they catch every spoiled carrot, sweet potato, etc that goes in? They are mixing HUGE batches of the stuff at a time and it's just not possible for them to weed out all the spoiled food from the batch.

I'm thinking about making my next baby's food as well. I was actually looking it up yesterday and found some good sites. The first one tells how to do it, and the next two are just some things I found that would probably be useful when doing it from home.

The major difference would depend on food you use to make your homemade baby food. If it is conventionally grown vegetables, fruit, or grains than you are still using foods grown using chemicals and pesticides. If it is important to you not to have these things in your food, then purchase organic foods to make your baby food out of.
Most organic, commercially-prepared do not have the sugars and added ingrediants of conventional baby foods. If the environment is a factor for you, consider that commercially-prepared foods require additional processing, shipping, and packaging compared to making it yourself.
Also, make sure to do your research on the "organic" claims that large companies make. Sometimes they just say it's organic so they can charge more when it is really not. Case in point - see this article from the Minneapolis Star Tribune regarding Target store brand "organic" milk.

From the farmers perspective they love baby food because the baby food industry will take the vegetables no on else will take. This is true in the organic baby food area as well.
So for the highest quality buy your own ingredients and make it your self.
Make a week's worth ahead of time and freeze it to make it more convenient for you and don't worry if you have to buy pre-made/processed food on occasion. But remember the food you make yourself is ALWAYS better than processed food you buy. These companies value profit over people, after all.

I use both. My baby eats what we eat, but some of the organic foods are yummy like the sweet potato chicken and bananas peaches and rice...when i don't make us a dinner he can have, I use the jarred organic foods. They are so much better than gerber. No additives and no starches or sugar added.

Well, you pretty much said them all. With homemade food, you know exactly whats in them - no questions..
I always used jars. I have a big family and its just easier and I know how much my son is eating and I knew the consistency of the food would be good.

You can control the freshness and quality of the foods used if you make your own. I made all vegetables for my son; it's not really that hard nor that time consuming once you do it a couple of times and get the hang of it.

The Sanford Coyote Sports Center is home to USD Athletics Administration, Men's & Women's Basketball, Volleyball, Strength & Conditioning, Athletic Training, and the departments of Kinesiology & Sports Science (KSS), Occupational Therapy (OT) and Physical Therapy (PT).
Design and Construction
USD and Architecture Incorporated advocated green building initiatives and followed strategies outlined by LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) to design and construct a state-of-the-art building that operates more efficiently, conserving energy and water and creating a healthy place for athletes, students, faculty, staff and spectators. In meeting the "Green Building" criteria they also used local suppliers to cut down on fuel emissions from truckers, reused recycled concrete from the old parking lot, and dealt with waste disposal in an environmentally friendly manner.
USD is seeking LEED Silver certification of the Sanford Coyote Sports Center through the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED for New Construction version 2009 program. The LEED-NC program is a voluntary standard that defines high-performance green buildings that are healthier, more environmentally responsible, and less costly to operate.
The LEED standards provide a rating system to benchmark a building's design and construction across six categories:
Sustainable Sites
Measures were taken during construction to reduce the building's impact on the immediate environment. In order to prevent loss of soil during construction by stormwater runoff and wind erosion, the design team developed and the construction team implemented a Site Sediment and Erosion Control Plan that protected topsoil by stockpiling for reuse and prevented erosion with silt fencing, inlet protection and vehicle tracking control measures.
In an effort to reduce pollution from automobile use and promote alternative means of transportation, the Sanford Coyote Sports Center will provide preferred parking for low-emitting and fuel-efficient vehicles.
Water Efficiency
Design decisions were made to minimize the use of water resources. USD is committed to maximizing water efficiency within buildings to reduce the burden on municipal water supply and wastewater systems. By using low flow plumbing fixtures, the Sanford Coyote Sports Center uses 20% less water than baseline fixture performance requirements of the Energy Policy Act of 1992.
During design and construction of the Sanford Coyote Sports Center, USD worked with a third-party commissioning authority to provide fundamental and enhanced commissioning ensuring that building systems were designed, installed and calibrated to operate as intended.
Whole Building Energy Simulation was performed on the building design and shows a 28.3% energy cost savings relative to the ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2007 baseline building.
The Sanford Coyote Sports Center HVAC&R systems use no CFC-based refrigerants. Elimination of CFCs in building equipment helps reduce ozone depletion and the negative effects of UV-B radiation on people.
The Sanford Coyote Sports Center has a dedicated area for recycling waste generated in the building and accommodates paper, corrugated cardboard, glass, plastics and metals.
During construction, this project used materials with recycled content, including the structural steel, reinforcing bars, and aluminum. Over 20% of the total value of the materials and products used for this project were manufactured regionally within a 500-mile radius.
USD established minimum indoor air quality (IAQ) performance goals for the project. Protecting indoor environments from contaminants such as environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) is essential for maintaining a healthy space for building occupants. The University has implemented an aggressive Policy on Smoke-Free Zones that prohibits smoking in any building, within 25 feet of entrances, exits, and windows for any building, or at any other location where others would be required to walk through secondhand smoke to enter a building.
The project utilized low-emitting adhesives, sealants, paints, coatings and flooring systems to reduce the quantity of indoor air contaminants that are odorous, irritating and/or harmful to the comfort and well-being of installers and building occupants.
USD is applying for recognition of innovative programs, including Green Cleaning custodial service that uses "green cleaning" products and equipment to reduce exposure to potentially hazardous chemicals and minimize the environmental impact on the surrounding ecosystem.
The Sanford Coyote Sports Center includes more than 184,000 square feet of space to serve student athletes, athletics administration, students, faculty, staff and spectators.

Veteran Feminists of America
MOVEMENT, AUTHOR OF The Convention
Against Sexual Exploitation
I never set out to be single (you don't "get single" like you "get married") and growing up in the 1950s it was Elvis not Susan B. Anthony who captured my imagination. The oldest of three children, I was born in Syracuse, New York to James and Dorval Barry who had just survived the Great Depression. Dad was a laborer in road construction in the summer when he barely made enough for us to get by and was laid off of work every winter when he occasionally got snow-plowing jobs to supplement unemployment. Although we needed the money, he considered it his patriarchal (his word) duty to support his family so that his wife could stay home with her children. As she did not like her children, that left me during summer vacations from school spending most of my day babysitting my younger brothers on our front porch, laying the foundation for my later choice to not be a mother.
Through my teenage years, I yearned to get out of that house. All I wanted was to be independent. I did not think beyond that. My parents' dream for me to graduate high school, get a job as a clerical worker in an office where I would find among the professional men someone to marry, raising my standard of living and possibly, hopefully theirs. The school counselor's set me on that path by tracking me in a "business" meaning secretarial curriculum in high school. Typing, shorthand, sewing, cooking was to round out my preparation for womanhood.
To be honest, at the time, going to college never entered my mind. I knew I was not one of those college-bound kids who rarely associated with us working class kids headed for dead end jobs. And I saw them as "those people" as my Dad referred with resentment to the middle classes who always had more, knew more than us and knew it. Then as if out of the blue, just a few months before high school graduation, my typing teacher asked me one day after school if I "ever thought of going to college." I went blank. "No." But she did not let it go. Before I fully grasped what going to college it would mean for my life, I knew this could be my ticket to independence. Even though I did not have the required courses, excitedly I applied to and was accepted at Oswego State Teachers College (SUNY). Angered, parents saw their plan for my upward mobility falling apart. They assured me that I would receive no support from them.
By my sophomore year, I faced the stark reality that, already deeply in debt with loans, I could not financially afford to continue my college education. I quit and assumed I was doomed for the clerical pool again. There was a serious shortage of school teachers at the time and I landed a teaching position, 4th grade. That was the first time that I ever did something I truly loved - teaching - so I knew I would eventually find my way back to college.
Meanwhile the civil rights movement hit Syracuse, then a completely segregated city, with all blacks of every class living in one city ward, a ghetto. From my earliest remembering, riding with my family to church every Sunday through the ghetto, I was repelled by the way whites talked about black people. That repulsion grew into anger and by the time I was 20 in 1961, I joined the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). The virulent resistance of Syracusans to desegregation crushed my naïve belief that changing attitudes with facts could change racist behavior. These were the years, although I did not know it then, in which I laid the groundwork for becoming a sociologist, giving me a stronger base for my activism.
I put my love of teaching children together with my growing social consciousness of poverty and discrimination and volunteered to teach in a school for migrant children in Texas for a year. I was in my early twenties and under tremendous pressure to marry, not only from my family, but with the disappearance of my longtime girlfriends into their marriages and babies. So, while I was in Texas, I met this guy, Ken, who then seemed to me to be a kind of intellectual. After months of dating we became engaged. There was no magic, either with him or in doing the accepted thing. Ironically, it was Catholicism that saved me. Divorce was prohibited by the Church, and I was not about to be sentenced to lifelong misery, the kind I just escaped. I realized that I neither loved him enough to marry nor did I want to marry, just yet. I was approaching my mid twenties with the escalation of pressure to marry. And then I dropped religion and its patriarchal control of women from my life.
In 1965 when it was time to leave Texas, I moved to Detroit with my teacher-roommate in Texas where I taught in the first years of Head Start and joined CORE there. At the same time, I was taking college courses wherever I lived until I finally received my BA from Wayne State University in Detroit in 1978, nine years after I graduated from high school. By then, ready to move on from teaching children, I earned a Masters from Wayne State and worked in the school district's anti-poverty programs.
In 1967, at the age of 26, I sat down with 5 or 6 other women for the beginnings of one of those small Consciousness Raising groups that were spontaneously erupting all over the country into the Women' s Liberation Movement. We took women's need for equality for granted but knew we had to get to deeper, yet unspoken issues - abortion rights, welfare rights, rape, wife abuse. Although I was in a relationship with George, marriage slipped from my mind and then I discovered that sex no longer need be confined to marriage, and intimacy need not be only with men. Whew! We feminists spoke our anger and pain to each other and turned it into activism. We testified in speak outs and took our guerilla theater to the streets. While it would be a decade before I would begin to think of myself as a writer, the prediction of my 7th grade aptitude test, feminist issues filled me with subject matter and an urge to write. The first article I wrote appeared in the first issue of Women: A Journal of Liberation. After Miss McCarthy my high school typing teacher who coaxed me into college, nothing else shaped my life more significantly than radical feminism as I was there with all those women shaping it - the Women's Liberation Movement. In 1972 I became the Women's Advocate and Sacramento State University in California.
My first book, Female Sexual Slavery (1979), translated in several language and still in print in English since its first publication, launched me into global activism against sexual exploitation and trafficking in women two decades before that issue came of age in the United States. I earned a dual doctorate in Sociology and Education at University of California, Berkeley. My dissertation on the social origins of nineteenth century American feminism, a background preparation for my next book, Susan B. Anthony: A Biography of a Singular Feminist. By the late 1980s, having been a feminist activist for two decades, having seen how Anthony was dismissed by contemporary feminist historians, I saw her life as a model of feminist activism. My teaching shifted to university students. I joined the faculty of the Sociology Department at Brandeis University in 1981 to teach Feminist Theory. In 1988 moved on to Penn State University as sociologist in the multi-disciplinary department of Human Development and Family Studies.
Through the 1980s, I unintentionally become a one-woman movement against and global expert on trafficking in women and children. One impact of Female Sexual Slavery was that the United Nations took up the issue of trafficking once again. But it would take many more years before American feminism would take up that issue. At the time, the radical feminist movement contested pornography but it had not yet connected the exploitation of women in porn to prostitution and trafficking. At the 1988 radical feminist conference on sexual liberals and the attack on feminism, I announced that as a one-woman movement is a contradiction in terms, "I give this to you." With Dorchen Leidholdt, I cofounded the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women, a UN-NGO, with Category II, human rights status.
While teaching full-time, writing the Anthony biography, I travelled the world for many years speaking and organizing against trafficking and to end prostitution. Through a collaboration with UNESCO and with support of feminist activists from different world regions, I developed a model for a new international law, The Convention Against Sexual Exploitation, which would make prostitution, pornography and sexual trafficking a violation of human rights in international law. Although not yet adopted by the U.N., I was undaunted. Sweden became the first of many countries adopt criminalize the customers who buy sex. Vietnam, when it began to shift to a market economy was on the brink of being invaded by massive sex industries. I organized a feminist seminar there 1993, Vietnam too criminalized customers in state law. A few years later my edited volume Vietnam's Women in Transition (1996), a collection of essays from American and Vietnamese feminists, was published.
With the normalization of sexual exploitation of prostitution as sex work and the massive explosion of pornography's sexual objectification and violence through the Internet, I turned to my next book, Prostitution of Sexuality: Global Exploitation of Women which was published in 1995 and includes the model law for criminalizing customers of the sex trade.
By the age of sixty, the pace and pain of my work that kept me in the center of controversy and constantly under attack from the sex industries caught up with me and my health. I took an early retirement and moved back to the California. Fortunate for me personally, feminists and human rights organizations globally were beginning to seriously take up the issue of trafficking while women who survived prostitution were creating programs to help women get out of it.
I needed to rest. My doctors told me I should try "working out of the other side of your brain." I did not have a clue of how to do that until I found myself painting first with pastels and then with oils and surprise to me, being an artist for the first time in my life became my passion. I truly love dragging my easel and paints out for three hours of painting to some lovely landscape, seascape or cityscape scene which are easily within reach here in Sonoma County of Northern California. Or I pick up my camera and head to the ocean. Painting and photography shows of my work are on my horizon.
By 2006 with good medical treatment, my energy began to return. I had been watching with anger as George W. Bush manipulated the U.S. into committing war crimes with its invasion and occupation of Iraq. In that summer, something stirred my consciousness when I began to hear reports of "the loss of innocent lives" in the Israeli-Lebanon War. "When," I thought, "we set aside one group of human beings who are to be protected (even though today's militaries ignored that law) from harm in war zones, we construct another group, men in combat, who are killable." Soon I found myself back to writing for the first time in more than a decade. My latest book Unmaking War, Remaking Men: How Empathy Can Reshape Our Politics, Our Soldiers and Ourselves was published in 2011. Returning to feminist political activism, teaching workshops and lecturing, at the age of 70 I am excited to discover that "I'm back!"

George Strait and Garth Brooks, the two most recent ACM Artist of the Decade Award recipients, will perform together for the first time in history to pay tribute to Dick Clark at the 48th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards. The performance will be broadcast live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on April 7 (8 p.m.-11:00 p.m., live ET/delayed PT) on the CBS Television Network. The ACM Artist of the Decade Award will be renamed the ACM Dick Clark Artist of the Decade Award, in honor of the iconic figure and longtime producer of the Academy of Country Music Awards.
"Dick helped make country music accessible to a larger fan base and his efforts will not be forgotten," said Strait. "Garth and I were so grateful when we each received the ACM Artist of the Decade Award, so it's only fitting that we'll be honoring him with this tribute performance at the ACMs."
"I commend the Academy on naming the ACM Artist of the Decade Award after Dick Clark," said Brooks. "Although there is no award the entertainment industry has that can match the magnitude of the star Dick Clark was, and still is, it is an honor to get to be a part of the Academy's tribute to him. There may be others who have contributed as much to the music industry, but there is definitely no one that has contributed more than Dick Clark. He was music's best friend, and a dear friend to me."
"He was a friend to all of us and helped shape our organization. There's no doubt the Academy of Country Music wouldn't be one of the highest-rated and watched awards shows without Dick's vision and commitment," commented Bob Romeo, CEO of the Academy of Country Music.
Clark, who passed away last year, began producing the Academy of Country Music Awards in 1979 and helped introduce audiences all over America to the most talented artists in country music. Clark had long been an ambassador for a wide-range of musical genres and with his guidance, ushered the Academy of Country Music Awards through the decades to become one of the industry's biggest events.
Recipients of the ACM Artist of the Decade Award include Strait in 2009, Brooks in 1998, Alabama in 1988, Loretta Lynn in 1979 and Marty Robbins in 1969.

EAST LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The family of a man shot more than 17 times by deputies in East Los Angeles has filed a federal lawsuits against the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Eduardo Edwin Rodriguez, 29, was the passenger in a van with two others when they were pulled over during a traffic stop in East Los Angeles at about 4 a.m. on Feb. 14.
After stopping the van at Whittier Boulevard and Ferris Avenue, authorities said that when deputies asked Rodriquez to get out of the van, he became combative and resisted arrest.
The sheriff's department said he reached for a .22-caliber handgun and deputies were forced to shoot him.
The coroner said Rodriguez was shot more than 17 times.
Rodriguez's family insisted that he was not armed and announced the lawsuit at a news conference on Olvera Street. The family called for justice.
"I'm just here for him, for his kids. We all miss him a lot and well we're asking for justice, and we don't think it's right what he went through. He shouldn't have suffered the way he did," Rodriquez's girlfriend Stephanie Yanez said.
The family remained adamant that Rodriguez was not armed, but the sheriff's department said a weapon was recovered at the scene by deputies.
"But the point that they shot him. He was 20 to 25 feet away from that arm if it was actually there," family attorney Jorge Gonzalez said.
The sheriff's department said in a statement, "We have not received the lawsuit or had the opportunity to review it. We will reserve comment on pending litigation."

I have been away from the blog for a little while, due to commitments with my graduate coursework. I won't have time to write much new until the end of the Fall academic quarter (I have a PhD qualifying exam coming up, in addition to seminar finals and two discussion sections that I teach on the Roman Republic).
In the meantime I do have some good news to report. Gabe NonTheologian, one of the hosts of the NonTheology podcast, has invited me on for a discussion about Metaphysical Naturalism. Gabe became interested in the subject from listening to my discussion on the Don Johnson Show earlier this year, where I debated and defended Metaphysical Naturalism as a non-theistic worldview. On the podcast we will be expanding upon naturalist philosophy and its relevance to atheism and counter-apologetics.
The podcast interview is scheduled for January 4th, 2014. I'll post a link here once the audio recording is available online.
Also in good news, Richard Carrier has posted on his blog another recommendation of Κέλσος, where he discusses some of my recent blogs about ancient historiography, epistemology of the supernatural, and skepticism towards the resurrection of Jesus.
Likewise, James McGrath, professor of Philosophy and Religion at Butler University, recently blogged about my article Ancient Historical Writing Compared to the Gospels of the New Testament. McGrath writes:
"[A]s a student of Classics [in agreement with] many mainstream New Testament scholars, Ferguson sees similarities to the novels of that period which were a popular form of historical fiction."
I would also like to thank Michael Kok from Euangelion Kata Markon and Erlend MacGillivray from ClassicalTimeline for their comments and discussion, as professionals, on the question of the Gospels and genre.
Things have been very, very busy these last couple months, but I am glad to see that Κέλσος has inspired some good discussion on issues of Ancient History and Philosophy. I'll be putting my time into my graduate program for the next several weeks, but I am thankful to everyone who has been reading the blog.

The Real Estate Around London (REAL) property professionals networking seminar pitched up at newly refurbished Topgolf in Watford this week, bringing together commercial property experts in a very informal and friendly environment.
25 attendees from Herts, Beds and Bucks enjoyed a free breakfast and then an engaging talk by Dominic Taylor, UK National Director of Operations at Topgolf. Dominic explained how the Topgolf concept has provided a real leveller in the game of golf by making it accessible to people of all ages, genders and abilities. Indeed, 685,000 people played Topgolf in the UK last year.
The Topgolf complex, with its sophisticated layout and bar, as well as its range of games, has broadened the appeal of golf and reinvented the game and the driving range experience. Founded in 2000, Dominic explained that Topgolf has exploded in popularity with 3 sites in the UK and 22 in the U.S. currently, with further sites planned. The company has had to choose its sites very carefully, with over 30 variables including median income being considered. Each site, whether leased or purchased, needs land of at least 9-10 acres in size in geographic locations where there is a large population and easy motorway access. The business model established in the U.S. has been successfully exported to the UK.
The buildings used by Topgolf in the UK have either been built from scratch or renovated, as in the case of the Surrey complex which was previously a country club. Once permits have been secured, Dominic explained that the building process typically takes around 14 months to 2 years.
The marketing of Topgolf has also been carefully considered, with social media, and specifically celebrity endorsement of this channel, helping the concept to reach the younger audience being targeted. Indeed, 66% of players are in the 18-24 age bracket.
Dominic explained that growth in the U.S. is also set to soar, with 49 sites planned by 2017, including a new complex in the parking lot of the MGM Grand in Las Vegas!
This was a really interesting seminar in another unique Hertfordshire venue – not only did attendees find out more about how Topgolf has built a successful entertainment complex, but they also enjoyed a free game afterwards provided by the friendly Topgolf staff.
If you are interested in finding out more about our next REAL event, please email Melissa Menelaou for more information. These are free events hosted by Sherrards Solicitors, WMT Accountants and Lambert Smith Hampton – we are keen to grow the event attendance to maximise the benefits for all.

XSS - Are you aware you may be vulnerable?
Beware of cross-site scripting.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) enables an attacker to send a customized request to a Web site that causes modified Web or e-mail code to be sent to another user. In other words, it allows an attacker to send malicious code to another user by exploiting a flaw or weakness in an Internet server. XSS attacks are used to exploit vulnerabilities on a victim's system to traffic malicious code rather than attack the system itself.
While XSS is not the most severe problem affecting Internet servers, it is still important enough to take seriously. Script or code sent to a victim via an XSS attack runs within the security context of the browser or e-mail viewer employed on the victim's system. In many cases this allows full read and write access to all of the user's personal data files and a considerable portion of the OS itself, such as driver files and configuration settings.
A vulnerability was recently discovered in Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2000 that allows XSS. An attacker can alter the error pages for failed page requests or invalid data submissions that are sent to clients from ISA. The error pages can be altered so that they direct victims to download malicious code or access a malicious Web site. The compromised error pages can also force automatic download or URL activity on the victim's system.
This vulnerability in ISA is easily dealt with through a simple patch. If you are using ISA to protect your Internet server, I recommend reviewing Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-028 and applying the patch to your systems.

Felony Drug Sales Arrest
- November 6, 2013
- Category: Press Releases
Date and Time of Release: 6 November 2013
Date and Time of Incident: 2 November 2013
Subject: Felony Drug Sales Arrest
2 November 2013, at approx. 8:00 am, an officer was on patrol on the 200 block of Barretta St., when he observed a subject exiting a vehicle. The officer recognized the subject right away from his neck tattoo as being Brian Bockert, 36 of Sonora.
The officer knew that Bockert had two outstanding "no bail" warrants for his arrest for possession and transporting controlled substances and narcotics. The officer contacted Bockert and took him into custody on the two warrants.
A search of Bocket revealed he was in the possession of 6 grams of methamphetamine, 3.5 grams of psilocybin mushrooms, over a gram of heroin and marijuana, several methadone pills, along with a record of his sales transactions of these substances.

Simply as you are combination a limitless dating service is veto knowledge in assist of you to toss your privacy not at home the window. Before a Christian single considers any of the newer" strategies of finding a spouse like using a Christian dating service, it is useful to contemplate whether we may be partaking in any self-defeating habits. Take a look at the net kind on the dating website you are excited by and think about what you might like to write down.

Type: Bug
Status: Open
Resolution: Unresolved
Affects Version/s: Minecraft 1.8.8, Minecraft 15w46a, Minecraft 15w47a, Minecraft 15w47c, Minecraft 15w49a, Minecraft 15w49b, Minecraft 1.8.9, Minecraft 15w50a, Minecraft 15w51b, Minecraft 16w06a, Minecraft 1.9 Pre-Release 1, Minecraft 1.10.2, Minecraft 16w41a, Minecraft 16w42a, Minecraft 16w43a, Minecraft 1.11, Minecraft 1.11.2, Minecraft 17w14a, Minecraft 17w16b, Minecraft 1.12.1, Minecraft 1.12.2, Minecraft 17w48a, Minecraft 17w50a, Minecraft 18w07c, Minecraft 18w20c, Minecraft 1.13-pre3, Minecraft 1.13.1, 1.14.4, 19w45a, 19w46a, 19w46b
Fix Version/s: None
Confirmation Status:
The bug
If you place a carpet,
banner or sign on the top block of tall grass or large fern, it replaces the top block and uses the lower block as a support block. Shortly after, the lower block disappears, making the the carpet, banner or sign break.
17w48a: Banners and signs no longer affected. (Maybe because
MC-86980 was fixed)
Code analysis
Based on 1.11.2 decompiled using MCP 9.35 rc1
Signs and banners are not properly overriding the method net.minecraft.block.Block.canPlaceBlockAt(World, BlockPos), instead they test if they can be placed in the method net.minecraft.item.Item.onItemUse(EntityPlayer, World, BlockPos, EnumHand, EnumFacing, float, float, float). This method allows the item to be placed facing up (= on the ground) without checking if the block below is solid if the block it is placed on is replaceable, which causes problems with double plants.
Carpets appear to override the method canPlaceBlockAt "correctly" by testing if the block below is not air. The problem is that once the upper part of the double plant was replaced the lower part is air and therefor the carpet drops.
Bug discovered while reproducing above bug
When banners were affected (before 17w48a), another bug was discovered by reproducing this bug. When a non-black banner replaced a top block of tall grass or a large fern, a black banner drops, not the color of the banner placed. A bug report containing this seems to not be created yet.

It's no secret that retirees generally don't like the cold, so it should come as no surprise that there is an abundance of northern states on this year's list of 10 Worst States to Retire from MoneyRates.com. However, the weather is far from the only problem these states have.
If you love one of these states, don't take it personally. This list only reports what an objective look at retirement-related factors dictates. Naturally, individual preferences can greatly affect your choice of retirement destinations. However, as a guide to some possible warning signs for retirees, MoneyRates.com has sought to identify the states that may have the most significant issues on quantifiable measures.
Key factors for retirement
The following measures formed the basis of this year's analysis:
- Senior population growth. Based on census data, some states have just been more attractive to retirees than others in recent years, so the growth in each state's senior population factored into these rankings.
- Economic conditions. Even if you don't intend to work at all in retirement, chances are you wouldn't find living in an area of high unemployment very pleasant. Cost of living and property taxes were also taken into consideration, since these greatly affect seniors.
- Crime rate. Seniors can be especially vulnerable to both violent and property crimes, so both were factored into the list.
- Climate. Not everyone wants a warm-weather retirement, but seniors tend not to enjoy extremes, so the climate factor in this list was based on monthly deviations from a moderate 68 degrees.
- Life expectancy. Looking at each state's average life expectancy for people at age 65 can provide clues on factors ranging from quality and availability of health care to the purity of the environment.

Homemade All-Purpose Cleaner
Lame. Four days before my favorite holiday, and I am posting about cleaning supplies? I was going to attempt to pass this off as a last minute gift idea, but it would need to be a given to someone who would not be offended when bestowed cleaning supplies as a present. This lucky recipient would have to be someone you know well, in which case, you probably already have something for them.
In all honesty, the only reason I am sharing this "recipe" with you today is because I ran out of the last batch I made, and so I had to make more.
Sure I am all for saving the environment, but the real reason I like this cleaner is because I can spray it all over without feeling as though I need to hold my breath to avoid inhaling fumes. I can spray it on the counter, wipe, and then set food right down - no risk of chemical contamination. I use this spray everywhere- from the dining room table, to leather furniture, to the kitchen sink.
Here is my advise about the bottle you will use to store the spray in: buy a half gallon bottle of environmentally friendly all-purpose cleaner, then make your own in the same bottle when you run out. This way, your first bottle of spray is pre-made, after that you can begin making your own. Happy cleaning!
Homemade All-Purpose Cleaner
for the record: I didn't make this up, I got the "recipe" from my cousin who got it from her friend
1 tsp vegetable-based liquid soap (such as seventh generation)
1 tsp Borax
1/2 cup white vinegar
20 drops essential oil
warm water
Put the first four ingredients in the bottom of the bottle, then slowly trickle in warm water. Enjoy.

Awang-Awang can be translated as "floating in the space between heaven and earth" – the perfect description for this beautiful villa perched on the edge of a gorge with breathtaking views of the sacred Petanu River and lush tropical forest. Situated in the cool highlands 5 kms from Ubud, famous for its fine art galleries, restaurants and rich cultural life, the villa is a 50 minute drive from the air-port. The ten minute drive from Ubud meanders through stunning scenery of lush rice-fields, mountains and the sacred volcano Gunung Agung towering in the distance.
The house was designed by the Balinese architect Ir. Ida Bagus Wiadnyana according to ancient traditions with the correct alignments toward the holy mountain.

WWE has been hit a few times with the nude photo leak bomb in the last few months. People who were associated with the pro wrestling giant have been victim of the leaks as well. Paige, Xavier Woods, Victoria, Maria Kanellia, Charlotte Flair, and more have been targeted and now WWE has been warned more nude photos and videos could be on the way.
While it is uncertain at this time, Sean Ross Sapp from Fightful reports WWE has been warned about the possibility that more photos and videos of a very private nature could be leaked sooner than later.
If this is true WWE really doesn't need that kind of publicity. They were able to deal with what has happened to them already but who knows what the straw to break the proverbial camel's back might be. The company recently had a backstage meeting about internet security but these leaks could have always been acquired well before those new social media tactics were implemented.
Only time will tell, but let's hope these reports are false just for the sake of all the WWE Superstars who could be possibly involved
WWE was warned that more potential superstar video and photo leaks were on the way. Jesus.
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp) July 18, 2017
If you're wondering who will be next on the list of nude leaks, you can count out one Superstar. Kevin Owens recently had a little occurrence when some nude photos were put online claiming to be him. KO was very quick to jump on these nude photo allegations and denounce them as false.
Kevin went on to say that these claims are ridiculous and laughable. He also said there are some pathetic people out there who should get a life. KO wasn't done there though as he remarked that if someone thinks those photos are actually of him then they're "as dumb as the morons who started this stupidity."
Never one to shy away from cracking a joke, Matt Jackson from The Young Bucks chimed in for a hilarious little remark which you can read below and have a chuckle at.

Just landed in Birmingham and saw these ridiculous claims. How laughable! There's some incredibly pathetic people out there. Get a life!

Diversity among the fashion industry has been an issue for a while now. We at Fashom are happy to see someone in the fashion world take on diversity head on. Los Angles based model Deddeh Howard recreated some of the most well-known fashion advertisements made famous top models at the moment such as Michelle Williams for Louis Vuitton, Kendall Jenner for Calvin Klein and Candice Swanepoel for Victoria's Secret. Howard called the series of photographs"Black Mirror".
Deddeh Howard had this to say about diversity, "In a time where black people too often are in the media for being underrepresented at important events such as the Oscars, or make headlines for being targeted by the police, I felt it was time to do something positive and inspiring about my race."
"We live in a globalized world with nowadays many interracial couples producing mixed babies. Why can't the big brands not embrace our diversity more and give all of us visibility?" Howard said.
Let's change the fashion world & start encouraging diversity!

With a completely new engine and chassis, developed straight from HRC's CRF450R and MX factory teams, the CRF250R will make you feel like a works rider. The power-to-weight ratio has been improved for even better handling, stability and traction. Performance can be personalised by using the three adjustable maps – EMSB (Engine Mode Select Button) – to tune the engine's output to suit you, the ride and the track. This bike is built to pull out an advantage everywhere.
For 2015, the CRF250R uses the sixth generation aluminium twin-beam frame, which has been built from the ground up retaining a focus on mass centralisation. It also features rigidity levels that's been 'tuned' in certain key areas to improve rider feel when landing from jumps, with revised geometry for increased front and rear traction, and turning ability.
A CRF450R specification airbox is married to a dedicated CRF250R air boot and twin rear mufflers – centralising mass once again, which is an exclusive and improved feature to the CRF250R.
The new CRF250R has been honed to an even higher state of perfection and, once again HRC has created a motorcycle in a state of the purest balance that is proving to be the ultimate riding tool for the professional and amateur alike.
During this cycle of development HRC's race engineers focused attention on a number of areas to further improve the CRF250R engine's output and delivery. The 249cc liquid-cooled four-valve Unicam unit has always impressed with its broad spread of useable power, no matter the revs, in addition to a crisp and instant throttle response.
This is a full model change for the CRF450R. Nothing has been overlooked, and we have been relentless in our effort to provide customers with a machine that's ahead of the pack. Our focus has been on producing a machine with exceptional engine performance, outstanding rear-wheel traction, and a low centre of gravity, to create a 5% improvement in acceleration over the previous model. The phrase underpinning development was "Absolute Holeshot".
We have already started racing and perfecting the 2017 CRF450R in the Japanese MX championship, winning the first five motos in succession. We are now proud to offer a machine with this kind of performance to motocross lovers around the globe.
The CRF450R's liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, single-cylinder Unicam 449cc engine now provides a full 11% more top-end power than the outgoing model. The power and torque are stronger everywhere, but especially through the midrange torque area and at the top end, with a major increase in rpm, peak power and over-rev. The engine now uses a scavenge pump to distribute the oil by force (rather than spray) for both transmission and clutch, reducing friction, improving lubrication efficiency and greatly reducing pumping losses.
The completely redesigned chassis gives the rider absolute control of the CRF450R's new power-up engine. The goals for this seventh generation of CRF aluminium beam frame were clear: to improve turning performance, front-end stability and traction, plus rear-wheel drive with elevated levels of rider feedback and predictability.
The new CRF450R now incorporates a 6.3L titanium fuel tank, which weighs 513g less than the plastic design before it. The loss of half a kilo high on the machine contributes significantly to the lower centre of gravity.
The rider controls and displays are now rationalised together and sited on the left handlebar: engine stop button, EFI warning, plus EMSB (Engine Mode Select Button) and LED indicator. Honda's EMSB is the key that puts instant engine character adaptability at the rider's command. With the machine stopped and engine at idle, a simple press and hold of the button for just under a second selects the next map in sequence.
The 2019 CRF450R's lightweight front brake caliper has been redesigned, featuring a large-piston design for better feedback.
With a refined and upgraded chassis, the 2019 CRF450R provides remarkable feedback and an involving ride at low and top speeds.
The lighter, the better. With longer head pipes featured in the engine, the 2019 CRF450R dishes out an enhanced throttle response and incredible top-end pull.

Flickr/cliff1066â"¢Immigration supporters are cautiously optimistic about the "Gang of 8" reform bill, but there's still a long list of complaints they want to address before it gets to final passage.
On Wednesday, activists and lobbyists wasted no time in voicing their concerns, from anger over LGBT protections to fears that the path to citizenship will leave too many people stuck in the middle.
Immigration advocates are encouraged that the bill provides a relatively clear criteria for legalizing the undocumented population and a mechanism that, in theory, would allow many of them to become citizens within the next 10-15 years.
But there are still some worries that various restrictions will leave out too many people along the way.
One long-running concern is the border trigger. If Congress mucks with funding or a future secretary of homeland security is less immigrant friendly than the current occupant, it could potentially delay the naturalization process.
Then there's the cost. There's a $500 fine as part of the initial legalization process that some groups worry could be prohibitive for struggling families with multiple members who qualify, especially when paired with legal costs and other potential fees.
"The reality is these are low-wage immigrant workers, many of whom don't have continuous work, so it's very expensive if you talk about 500 dollars in the beginning plus the assessed fees by the Department of Homeland Security," Angelica Salas, executive director of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, told reporters.
Another sticking point: provisions regarding the green card process that would require some immigrants who apply after a 10-year waiting period to demonstrate they held a job regularly and prove that they won't be a "public charge," possibly by showing their income is above the poverty line.
"A lot of low-wage workers, even with work authorization, given today's economic constraints and levels of employment, may not be able to show they maintained regular employment," Marielena Hincapié, executive director of the National Immigration Law centre, told TPM on Wednesday. "And that means they may not be able to continue onto the next stage."
Another complaint isn't about language in the bill itself, per se, but it's still going to be a big issue in the coming weeks that the White House is going to have to address. Immigrant rights activists have long argued that the administration should halt or dramatically scale back deportation proceedings, since Congress is considering a bill that would grant many of the same individuals legal status if passed. On Wednesday, AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka joined the fight.
"When the war's about to end, doesn't it make more sense to reach a ceasefire than to extend needless suffering?" he said in a conference call with reporters.
Many activists were also disappointed that the bill did not include language that would allow gay couples to sponsor their spouses or partners for a visa, something that up to this point has been prohibited by the defence of Marriage Act. Gay rights and immigration advocacy groups think they have a good chance of including those provisions later in an amendment, so expect this fight to become more prominent in the run-up to a vote. Even if they don't get what they want, the Supreme Court is considering whether DOMA is constitutional; and if it strikes the law down, that decision could accomplish much of advocates' goal.
"LGBT immigrants have historically been denied fair access to our immigration system, and this is our chance to be included in what could be a once in a generation overhaul of our immigration system," Felipe Sousa-Rodriguez, co-director of gay rights group GetEQUAL, said in a statement.
Family reunification is another issue that could prove contentious. While the bill makes it easier for permanent residents to bring over their spouses and children from abroad, it gets rid of the ability to sponsor a sibling for a visa. A number of religious groups and immigrant rights groups want to expand family visas without cutting them elsewhere.
Then there are the pro-reform business groups. The AFL-CIO and Chamber of Commerce reached a deal on a guest worker program after months of intense talks, but some individual industries, mainly construction, are unhappy with restrictions on the number of guest workers they can bring in and at what wages.
"The program is puny — less than half the size it needs to be, perhaps less than a third — and skewed by additional quotas within quotas that restrict the supply of workers to particular industries, including construction," Tamar Jacoby, executive director of the pro-business ImmigrationWorks USA said in a statement. Nonetheless, she called the bill "a solid framework for Congress to build on in coming months."

This is a bit of a nothing sort of project, but this month I suppose I need something quick and easy. With my husband's Doctor Who 10th Doctor suit on my docket, a super simple project is just the thing to keep my brain from being overwhelmed. There's no less than 39 pattern pieces for the suit! This fall henley top was just what the Doctor (ha ha!) ordered!
Fall henley top
I've had this burnout jersey from Emma One Sock in my stash for a couple of years now. I dithered for a really long time trying to find the right pattern to show off this beautiful fabric. It's even been washed and ready to go since Spring, yet I hesitated.
Do you ever do that? Get all ready for a project and then shelve it because you simply forget about it? I've talked before how I don't often have unfinished objects (UFOs). Instead, I deal in NSOs (not started objects).
Burdastyle 12-2009-121 henley + my TNT t-shirt
I've made this henley top before. Burdastyle 12-2009-121 is a good basic henley, but when I went to make it, it occurred to me that all I needed to do was trace off the front placket and a copy of the neckline.
The front is a standard tee, but the CF is cut about 1/4″ away from the fold so you can sew in the placket. That's it. There could hardly be a more simple tee variation.
Doctor Who 10th Doctor suit: the beginning
I was able to do a first muslin of my husband's suit. The pants only need length changes, but the jacket will take a little more work.
He has a slightly more rounded upper back which will require a horizontal dart, plus he needs more width across the back and a little more breathing room in the hips. He's traveling this week, so I won't be able to do the changes and forge ahead, but that's okay.
[email-subscribers namefield="YES" desc="" group="Public"]
I realized this week that planning for a big project takes up a lot of time but also a lot of mental space. While pondering this, I came up with 6 tips for planning a big project that will help you keep you from burning out when you reach the end. Have a look!

As the Pakistani military cracks down on Taliban forces in the Swat Valley, hundreds of villagers in the country's troubled northwest region are themselves taking up arms against the insurgents. They have formed a militia and are fighting back the Taliban to avenge the bombing at a mosque on Friday that killed at least 40 people.
Some view the uprising as part of an ongoing local conflict, but others hail the move as a turning of the tide in public sentiment against the Taliban – driven in part by the military's recent successes.
"Once the Army moves in like it has, at some point in time you'll see people gathering courage and standing up against these people," says security analyst Mahmood Shah, a former governor of Pakistan's tribal areas. "I think the nation has decided that these militants must be driven out of the territory of Pakistan and they must be punished."
It may be precisely because the military is driving the Taliban out of the Swat Valley that locals are running them down in the nearby Dir Valley, a crossing point between Swat and Afghanistan.
"Some of the [fleeing] Taliban have strayed over into the frontier, and what's happened is the local people don't want that area to become a scene of conflict. So the local people have banded together and taken care of the situation themselves," says Ikram Sehgal, publisher of the Defence Journal. "I think it's significant that one of the escape routes has been blocked off for them and that helps the Army focus on the eastern [escape routes]."
'Pakistan has awakened'
An estimated 1,500 locals in dozens of villages, some shouting "Pakistan has awakened" and toting rifles and machine guns, are fighting against 250 militants, according to local news sources. The locals have asked the military to intervene by attacking Taliban strongholds with helicopter gunships.
Gen. Athar Abbas, a spokesman for the military, welcomed the move as a "positive step," adding: "The people have risen; they have all the right to rise and turn these people out from the area in the wake of tragedy."
Ahmed Rashid, a leading journalist and author of "Descent into Chaos", says that anti-Taliban militias in the past have initially fared well before ultimately failing because of a lack of support by the government. "The real question is will the military defend the population and take advantage of this upsurge in public anger? So far, unfortunately, the military has failed to defend the people. What you need is a strategy to encourage local resistance to Taliban and then to back it."
General Abbas would not comment on whether the military would directly intervene as Upper Dir is not part of the military's current theatre of conflict with the Taliban in the Swat Valley. He, however, stated that the Frontier Constabulary – a local paramilitary force – may come to the locals' support.
Ongoing conflict between locals, Taliban
The militia – or lashkar – began its attack on Saturday when, according to The News, a leading English daily, armed men from three villages in the Haya Gai region of Upper Dir district attacked six villages in the Dhok Darra area that were harboring Afghan militants. At least 11 militants, including foreigners, have been killed so far amid intense fighting, according to media reports, and several hideouts have also been destroyed as the fighting continues.
Veteran journalist Rahimullah Yusufzai, the Peshawar bureau chief of the News, believes the conflict is more localized. "This is just a local issue – it has become a revenge attack," he says, noting that locals were irked by a set of five pro-Taliban villages, worrying that their surrounding villages could be prone to drone attacks as a result. According to Mr. Yusufzai, the anti-Taliban villages had economically boycotted the pro-Taliban villages, and the suicide bombing incident at the mosque – likely a Taliban response to the boycott – was the final straw.
Other media reports suggest that tribal elders, who were present at the mosque that was attacked, were already planning to raise this lashkar before the attack.
Now, says Yusufzai, the three remaining Taliban villages are surrounded. "They would have to leave the area, surrender, or force the Taliban among them to leave."
