Typing Secret Word Will Kill Almost Any App in Apple's OS X Mountain Lion

"It just works." --Apple
While Microsoft Corp. (
) has received much admonishment for its various Windows bugs over the years, it is a dramatic new bug from the brash challenger of the the operating system world, Apple, Inc.'s (
OS X Mountain Lion
(10.8.2), which has people talking. The bug is startling simple, but it can crash almost any OS X app. All you have to do is type a word and a few characters.
I. Universal Crashes
The forbidden word is "File:///" (case sensitive). Type that in virtual any text input form (be it a notepad, a browser dialogue, a document editor, a calendar appointment, etc.) and the program will die. It appears that similar strings ("fILE:///" or "FILE://aa") can also trigger program crahes. In a bizarre twist, some crashes appear to be dependent on how fast you type certain variants (e.g. "File://" followed by characters). An
Open Radar
user named "Jonathan" shares a movie he made documenting that bizarre behavior
Among the programs confirmed to be infected are Tweetbot, Safari, Chrome, and TextEdit. The program appears to be tied somehow to some sort of deep-rooted API embedded into OS X (it appears not to be the spell-check API as the Safari location bar has no spell check, but is still affected).
In a particularly hilarious (or awful) failure, typing the problem string into Apple's Crash Reporter UI crashes the Crash Reporter.
Mountain Lion has a big bug. [Image Source: HD Wallpapers]
The bug does not affect OS X Lion (10.7) or Snow Leopard (10.6).
II. A Partial Fix?
A handful of apps, such as the image-editor Gimp, appear to be immune, perhaps because they disable whatever the trouble-making interface is. Typing the string in these apps will produce no crash.
Some users suggest that going to System Preferences > Language & Text > Text, and unchecking "Correct spelling automatically" and "Use symbol and text substitution" will stop the crashes in some apps. However, commenters say the apps continue in some programs even after doing that.
One loyal Apple user comments on the bug report:
This is actually a feature. It allows you to shut down all applications before shutting down your Mac:
Crashes Finder if typed into a Finder search field (not Spotlight, though). Crashes Safari if typed into the URL bar. Crashes Mail if typed into the search field. Crashes iTunes when typed into the search field. Crashes system-generated keychain unlock prompts (typed into the "Name:" field) Crashes Reminders if typed into the search field. ...
For now the bug is merely "interesting", but it also represents a potential security flaw. If malicious users start to use it in forms-based attacks, it could become a major headache for OS X users.
Apple for years marketed its products under the slogan "It just works", but has been
plagued with software issues
of late. Some blame Tim Cook, Apple's new CEO who replaced the late Steve Jobs, for the slipping quality. Apple's
iOS maps woes
drew a large amount of national news coverage late last year. Tim Cook
publicly apologized to his company's fans
for the poor showing.
Our Testing:
We confirmed that the bug crashes both Safari and Searchlight. For us the Crash Reporter did not come up even:
...about to crash!
The shell/terminal program in OS X appears to be immune to the crashes:
We'll update if a patch lands.

We returned to the MSC Lirica once again, which felt like coming home to a familiar friend. With a seamless event and some of the most memorable jams we've ever heard, calling Jam Cruise 6 a success is an understatement. Our green team organized a charitable event when we docked in Roatan, Honduras, giving school supplies to children while our musicians played for the students! Cozumel was a great Mexican port. But on board, magic happened. Col Bruce is such a timeless musician, having Jon Fishman on board, and our veterans Galactic & Karl Denson funking it up, were only a few of the highlights!
The Jam Cruise 6 Lineup
Waren Haynes • Michael Franti & Shearhead • funky METERS featuring Art Neville, George Porter Jr., Russell Batiste & Ian Neville • Yonder Mountain String Band • Galactic • Dark Star Orchestra • Soulive (as a trio!) • Toots & the Maytals • Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings • The Everyone Orchestra featuring Kimock, Fishman, Coffin & Janover • Perpetual Groove • Grace Potter and the Nocturnals • Lotus • New Monsoon • Toubab Krewe • The Motet • Brock Butler Solo • Special Guest • Karl Denson • Al Schnier • Ivan Nevelle • Mike Dillon • Sherik • Robert Walter • Dan Lebowitz • Col.

Im currently running Jintani TEST E and just had some blood work done so I thought I'd give a quick review. Been using 250mg test E e3d. Had blood drawn after week six. Total test== 2848. This is my first time taking this much test(Usually 200mg PW trt) so I don't have anything to compare it to.
From the research I've done however it seems that number is pretty good for that dose. I didn't order through Jintani so I cant comment on shipping etc. I got the gear local so needless to say I was ass raped price wise lol and was glad to see decent test results at least.

I'm working in a tile based game that uses OpenGL and QUADS to draw each tile.
In these two images you can see an example:
You can see that there is a ground and water tiles, each one with its own texture. Also there are different gradient colors depending of the depth or altiture of the tile. The red square is a provisional cursor.
The game background logic works with bidimensional array of tiles.
Here is a full capture without zoom:
You can see the game has a retro/ugly style that I want to change. At least, I want to beauty that squared-as-a-hell tiles with some transition between them.
There is some taken into account options:
1. I can try with a good tileset like this:
Source: http://forums.tigsou...hp?topic=9859.0
And change the tile's texture depending of the neighbor tiles. But... I want a very high variety of tiles and texture, so the combination of them could be in a ver high and complex tileset.
2. Multi-texturing the tiles:
I can mix texture in one tile, but I have no idea how to do it and have a nice result...
The ideal approach is to do something like this:
Of course, I must take in care the 4 corners.
But I only know to do something like this:
3. My last idea was embrance the retro style and leave the tiles as they are.
Any suggestion or idea for a good looking tile map?
I tried with some terrain tutorials, but they are never based on tiles or texture per tile that I want.
I think the idea is near to the multitexturing and blending, but I have not too much idea about multitexturing and different types of blending :-(

By Riley Manning/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – For teachers and students, the months leading up to Thanksgiving break may be the most arduous, as they afford few, if any, breaks.
However, the students of Tupelo High School's culinary arts class see a light at the end of the tunnel, and they recently prepared a meal to be enjoyed by their teachers in honor of the holidays.
Students worked in teams of three Thursday morning, Nov. 15, chopping onions, sautéing chicken and mixing sauces.
"They are preparing creamy chicken alfredo, seasoned green beans, yeast rolls and Oreo cookie pie," said Faye Henson, who has taught the class since its installation in 2010.
In its first year, the class was held at the kitchen facilities in the Link Centre. Students were transported to the building by bus for the class, which lasted two class periods.
"It was originally a home economics class, but now it is a course on international cuisine," Henson said. "They have cooked lasagna, jambalaya, fajitas, even soft pretzels."
The next year, three classrooms at Tupelo High School were combined to accommodate a kitchen for the course. Thanks to a grant for the school, the students have quality equipment to work with, from stoves to refrigerators to utensils, creating the air of an authentic restaurant kitchen.
"It really shows them what a career in the culinary arts would be like, as well as cultivates a very practical skill," Henson said.
The class lasts for two years and counts as an elective. Two credits are allowed for each year for a potential of four credits total.
"The first year students learn about safety and get on the same page with basics," Henson said. "Some of them have cooked a little, but some don't know how to boil water."
Senior Faith Pannell, in her second year in the class, said she took the course because she thought it was interesting, but has learned more than she thought she would.
"My favorite thing we've cooked is sesame seed chicken," she said. "I cook at home now sometimes, and it's going to be a good thing to know how to do in the future."
Pannell said the group has grown close over two years in the kitchen together. Learning each others' strengths and weaknesses has helped them become a well-oiled machine.
Well, almost.
"Sometimes we have to try and salvage something we've messed up, but sometimes we have to dump it," Pannell said. "It's very important to follow the instructions in the recipe."
She also hoped her teachers would enjoy their meal and remember it when making final marks on their report cards.
Aside from the meal, Henson said the class was working on making fresh bread. Last year, the class made French bread and sold the loaves with great success.

The quiet cove of Tabha on the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee is the scene of many Gospel stories, including the Multiplication of Loaves and Fishes. Early Christians marked the site of this miracle (Matt. 14:15-21; Mark 6:35-44; John 6:1-14) with a church containing magnificent mosaics. The small loaves and fishes mosaic, marking the place where Jesus uttered a blessing over the bread, has become a well-loved symbol of this place and the miracle. Visitors love to take a walk along the Tabha-Capernaum promenade, built by the Tourism Ministry, to another part of the Tabha cove and the Church of Peter's Primacy. This is the traditional site of the events of John 21 after the resurrection – Jesus cooking breakfast for the disciples, the miraculous catch of fish and Peter's reconciliation.
Tabha comes from a Greek word meaning "seven springs." One, the Spring of Job, surges into the lake a short walk eastward along the promenade.

After attempting to make them work, I'm no longer a fan of network cards based on the National Semiconductor DP83815 chipset (found on the Netgear FA-311 card). Unless you like poor performance, "Something Wicked Happened!" (read 'rare error codes') filling up the logs, and an obscene amount of transmit errors.
Replaced them with FA-310 cards (based on the tulip

Love pizza? Turn things upside down with a cheesy hamburger bake.
If you want to prepare part of this casserole ahead of time, after draining the beef mixture and stirring in the pizza sauce, pepperoni and olives, cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Be sure to heat the mixture to boiling before spooning it into the baking dish and adding the topping.
Pizza cheese blend is a packaged mixture of the favorite cheeses used on pizza. The flavors are perfect for this casserole.
To tote, tightly cover the baking dish with foil and place in an insulated cooler or a box lined with newspapers or towels. Be sure to take along a large serving spoon.

Sydney Airport's annual Lost Property auction to be held on 16 November.
"While we make every effort to return the hundreds of lost items that are left at Sydney Airport each year, many items remain unclaimed," Sydney Airport General Manager Corporate Affairs, Sally Fielke, said.
"The airport holds an annual Lost Property auction to sell these unclaimed items, with the funds raised going to various charities."
This year's auction will be hosted by Pickles Auctions Australia at 10.30am on Saturday, 16 November at 21 Woorang Street, Milperra.

"People can also view the items in person at the auction site from 8am to 4.30pm on Friday, 15 November or from 8am on the day of the auction.
"The items on offer are as diverse as the airport's 37 million passengers a year – ranging from guitars to gold necklaces – and we hope this year's auction will raise substantial funds for charity."
Lots to be sold include electrical goods, sporting equipment, musical instruments, luggage, jewellery, alcohol, cosmetics, toys, clothing and accessories.
Members of the public attending the auction should note that no bags are allowed on the auction floor and covered footwear must be worn at all times.

BOGALUSA (AP) — Gentlemen, check your belt lines. Bogalusa police are putting people on notice to pull up saggy pants or else.
The Daily News reported that Mayor Charles Mizell has authorized Police Chief Joe Culpepper to start issuing warnings to people whose pants hang too low. Mizell said the 30-day warning period began Tuesday. After that, underwear overexposers will be ticketed.
The maximum penalty is a $500 fine and 30 days in jail.
The beltline crackdown comes after complaints from resident Larry "Nub" Galloway.
Mizell said he checked with the city attorney, judge and police chief and learned that a 2007 ordinance forbids "indecent exposure of ... person or undergarments."
Mizell said that since the law is already in effect, police can immediately ticket flagrant saggers.

Hands-on chemistry night set, Oct. 27
Posted October 18, 2006; 05:53 p.m.
Princeton's chemistry department will sponsor an evening of demonstrations and hands-on activities that highlight chemistry around the house from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 27, in Frick Laboratory.
The National Chemistry Week Activity Night is focused around the theme "Your Home -- It's All Built on Chemistry." The event will give members of the campus and local community ages 6 and up the chance to explore structures and the chemistry of the materials used in them, and to learn home chemical safety. Student firefighters will talk about home fire safety and demonstrate extinguishers. Other uses of household chemicals will also be explored, including one activity during which participants will make "spooky inks" that cause different parts of a secret message to appear at different times.
The event is cosponsored by the Princeton local section of the American Chemical Society. Reservations are required. For more information, contact Kathryn Wagner via e-mail or at (609) 258-2937.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 1:52 PM GMT on August 16, 2009
After one of the slowest starts to hurricane season in the past twenty years, the hurricane season of 2009 has exploded with activity over the past 48 hours. This morning, Tropical Depression Four joined Ana and Bill in the Atlantic, and appears poised to become Tropical Storm Claudette later today. Indeed, this may already be Claudette, as morning's QuickSCAT pass showed top winds of 45 mph. NEXRAD radar animations out of Tallahassee, FL, show a small but well-organized tropical cyclone with plenty of heavy thunderstorm activity, and improving low-level spiral banding. Satellite loops show an area of intense thunderstorms with cold cloud tops expanding near the storm's center.
Figure 1. Current long-range radar out of Tallahassee, FL.
It's pretty amazing (and a little unnerving) how quickly this storm sprang up. TD 4 developed literally overnight, and has the potential to be a strong tropical storm by the time it makes landfall tonight along the Florida Peninsula. TD 4 reminds me of 2007's Hurricane Humberto, which became a hurricane just 24 hours after first appearing as a tropical depression. I don't think TD 4 has time to reach hurricane strength, since wind shear as diagnosed by the SHIPS model was moderate, 10 - 15 knots, but it does have time to strengthen into a 50 - 60 mph tropical storm before landfall. Given that the storm is so small, storm surge flooding should not exceed 3 -5 feet, and will not be the major hazard from TD 4; inland flooding from heavy rain of 3 - 6 inches is likely to be the main threat from the storm.
Tropical Storm Ana continues to struggle
Tropical Storm Ana continues to struggle. Dry air continues to plague the storm, thanks to the large area of Saharan air the storm is embedded in. Ana's heavy thunderstorms are limited to just one small spot near the center. Wind shear appears to have lessened some, though, since yesterday. Thunderstorms were not able to form at all near the center yesterday, since strong wind shear tends to blow a storm's heavy thunderstorms to one side of the storm, exposing the low-level center to view. With heavy thunderstorms building near the center this morning, shear appears to be less of a problem for the storm. Top winds seen by this morning's QuikSCAT pass were about 35 mph. The outer rain showers from Ana should appear on radar out of Martinique today.
Shear is low (5 - 10 knots), and is forecast to remain low for the next two days. SSTs are warm, 28°C, and will warm further over the next two days. However, there is so much dry air around Ana that significant strengthening appears unlikely. Nearly all of the models predict Ana will dissipate sometime in the next three days, though the HWRF and GFDL predict that this will happen because Ana will move over the rugged terrain of Hispaniola. Ana is likely not strong enough to survive an encounter with the big island that the Dominican Republic and Haiti share. At this time, it does not appear that Ana will be moist enough to cause a major flooding disaster on Hispaniola.

Tropical Storm Bill gathers strength
Tropical Storm Bill is gathering strength in the middle Atlantic Ocean, and appears poised to become a powerful Cape Verdes-type hurricane later this week. QuikSCAT data from this morning shows a large circulation with top winds of 35 - 40 mph. Water vapor imagery (Figure 2) shows that there is some dry air to the northwest of Bill, and this dry air is being drawn into Bill's center, slowing intensification. It will likely take another day before Bill can moisten the atmosphere enough to ward off the dry air, and allow more significant intensification.
Wind shear is low, 5 - 10 knots, and is forecast to be in the low to moderate range, 5 - 15 knots, for the next five days. Sea Surface Temperatures are about 27.5°C, and will remain in the 27.5 - 28°C range the next four days, then warm substantially as the storm nears the Lesser Antilles Islands. The combination of low wind shear and sufficiently warm SSTs should allow Bill to intensify steadily to hurricane strength by Wednesday.
The big news is that our most reliable computer model from last year--the ECMWF model--appears to have made the right call yesterday, forecasting that a major trough of low pressure would develop along the U.S. East Coast, turning Bill more to the north. All of the other models--with the notable exception of the UKMET model--have now jumped on the ECMWF bandwagon, forecasting that Bill will pass well north of the Lesser Antilles Islands. The UKMET has Bill hitting the islands, but is being discounted since it is an outlier. It currently appears that the trough approaching the U.S. East Coast will be strong enough to recurve Bill before it reaches the U.S., though it is too early to be confident of this. Several of the longer range models show Bill passing near Bermuda or Nova Scotia, Canada.
I'll have an update later today.

Research Interests
Vaccine development; viral vectors; gene transfer; HIV and SIV
Key words: SIV; HIV; AAV; Vaccine; Gene Transfer
Description of Research
Our laboratory has two main programs: (i) vaccine development (especially for HIV) and (ii) development of recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) as a vector for human gene transfer. We have 25 years of experience in developing viral vectors for the delivery of vaccine antigens and the use of animal models to evaluate vaccine strategies. Our main interest continues to be prophylactic vaccines for HIV. Candidate vaccines developed in our laboratory have reached phase II human testing. More recently, we have begun the explore the use of rAAV vectors to deliver genes that encode antibodies which neutralize HIV (Nat Med. 2009; 15:901-6) A human phase I trial of this strategy is being planned. The laboratory also continues to seek novel uses for rAAV vectors in the treatment of human and animal diseases.

Loaches and snails
I have a snail issue. Who doesn't, right?
I have given up on shrimp in this tank. The guppies think that they are just too darned tastey. Fine.
So, now, I am open to critters that feast on snails. I am probably going to pick up some yoyo loaches tonight.
Is there any suggestions for other loach types? Do all loaches eat snails? What about weather or golden dojo loaches? They look kinda cool.
Depends on ur current stock and set up. But gouramis are known to feast on snails just not hunt them as much as loaches. Clown loaches love snails and do a great job ridding a tank, tho they do require loads of space
Ever think of snail traps instead of a fish?
Or better yet, get down to why you have snails in the first place?

tried several types of snail trap configs. Not much luck. So many plants, they just don't even seem to notice the bait.
Do all loaches require sand, or are some fine with normal aqaurium gravel?

Deeplinks Blog posts about Locational Privacy
When courts issue new decisions about how law enforcement can obtain records and data from companies, it's not just the police who have to follow the new rules. The companies that turn over the data have a big role to play in ensuring that the law is followed. A new court decision requiring police to use a search warrant in order to obtain cell tracking records underscores the importance phone companies can play in extending important privacy protections throughout the country.
One of the most unnerving things about modern communications technology is the way devices constantly leak information about their physical whereabouts—to mobile carriers, network operators, e-mail providers, web sites, governments, even shopping mall owners. Many of these information leakages are simple historical accidents. The designers of technologies never considered that technical standards would let everyone around you notice your device's presence. They never considered that technical choices would let web sites infer when two people are (or aren't) spending the night in the same residence, or let your phone company follow you around virtually from moment to moment.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has put police on notice: an automatic license plate reader (ALPR) alert, without human verification, is not enough to pull someone over.
Last week, the appellate court issued an important opinion in Green v. City & County of San Francisco, a civil rights lawsuit that calls into question whether technology alone can provide the basis for reasonable suspicion under the Fourth Amendment. The panel overturned a lower court ruling in favor of San Francisco and its police department, allowing the case to go to trial.
A case of computer error
Do you drive a car in the greater Los Angeles Metropolitan area? According to the L.A. Police Department and L.A. Sheriff's Department, your car is part of a vast criminal investigation.
The agencies took a novel approach in the briefs they filed in EFF and the ACLU of Southern California's California Public Records Act lawsuit seeking a week's worth of Automatic License Plate Reader (ALPR) data. They have argued that "All [license plate] data is investigatory." The fact that it may never be associated with a specific crime doesn't matter.
UPDATE—February 19, 2014:
According to the Washington Post, just days after the story broke, DHS shelved its plans to create or tap into a national database of license plate recognition data. According to an Immigration & Customs Enforcement spokeswoman, the solicitation "was posted without the awareness of ICE leadership" and "will be reviewed to ensure the path forward appropriately meets [the agency's] operational needs."

On the frontlines of global reporting, knowledge is safety. CPJ's event series to promote our new Journalist Security Guide continued Wednesday in Washington, D.C. where we teamed up with Internews for a panel discussion on journalist security on-site and online.
On the panel were Rajiv Chandrasekaran, senior correspondent and associate editor of The Washington Post with many years of experience reporting from the world's hot spots; CPJ Senior Adviser for Journalist Security and the main author of the guide Frank Smyth; and Danny O'Brien, CPJ's Internet advocacy coordinator and author of the guide's section on information security. The panel was moderated by Internews Vice-President for Asia, Environment and Internet Initiatives Kathleen Reen.
Many participants, in the room and on Ustream, took to Twitter (#JournoSecurity) to spread the message. Here is a link to the PDF version of the guide. Do us a favor; share the guide with a colleague or a friend who might need it.

Volume (L) 122
You'll like
the exciting and nerve tingling performance with the capability to mix it up on the race course.
At A GLANCE
This is the 3rd generation of the Futura and it comes in 4 different constructions, Tuff-skin, Technora, Wood and the model which we tested was Woodcarbon, the lightest and stiffest in the range as well as the most expensive. The Futura is high tech with a futuristic shape and appearance. It has a hollowed out deck in the nose area and reduced thickness to lower the centre of gravity but with a swollen deck dome in the stance area around the footstraps to elevate the rider into the best position. The hull design features a fairly deep double concave into vee in the tail. For 2010, the 122 has become a little longer, has a more rounded off nose and it has a slight winger shape, tapering off to a narrow tail with new cut-outs underneath. It features the usual high quality, easy to adjust and comfortable footstraps along with soft, grippy, fish-scale foot pads, Drake fin and exposed carbon graphics to finish it off.
The Starboard is very stable under foot thanks so its width. Due to the double concave hull shape it lifts up onto plane quickly and easily, allowing you to go for the footstraps early. From the footstraps you really appreciate the deck shape and dome, its extremely comfortable and you always feel in complete control, giving you heaps of confidence to push harder and harder towards the limits. The sensation you get while blasting along is fast and thrilling, it is quick and it feel it! It delivers slalom style performance without needing heaps of technical input from the rider. Through lulls it holds planning well and it handles the gusts with ease, by simply accelerating even faster, the light hull weight being the reason.
The Starboard handles corners superbly, thanks to a thinner profile and a narrow tail You get heaps of feedback through the turn, giving you confidence to crank the board round as hard as you like. Riders of all levels and gybing styles will enjoy the turning characteristics of this board.
This is a high performance freerider. With its outstanding manoeuvrability, control and exciting top speed this board has lots to offer all levels of windsurfer but will best suit advance - pro level riders. A hit with the testers.

text: I had noticed(SW Trilogy in particular) that have now watched the OT(and other movies) in proper OAR, that the Full Screen format seems to cut whole shots to compensate for the time being taken to pan & scan in a one single shot that you would otherwise see at the same time. Granted, they might have been a few seconds but I noticed things I do not remember seeing and it was a shot that would not have been compromised due to choping the sides of the picture off. Am I imagining things or not?

It's OK, I am way better at "reading writing than I am writing reading."
Just because YOU don't like my answers doe NOT make them wrong.
Those 2mm votes for the hippy may have made a difference in what we are facing now.
Indesputable FACT!
You accomplished NOTHING, other than assuring Obama in the Whitehouse.
Which I beleive is what you wanted!
As far as what I don't like about the libertarians??
Not much to not like, since they have done NOTHING!!
But their stand on drugs and YOUR slow drip preaching from the street corner and constant criticism of the work of others make it hard to stomach.
Scott Walker actually HAS balanced the states budget.
Name 1 libertarian Governor who has done that, just 1.
As far as your constant harping on a 2 party monopoly, by definition wouldn't that be a "biopoly???"

Nebraska drops Penn State 67-53
Nittany Lions still winless in conference play
LINCOLN, Neb. - Nebraska 67, Penn State 53: Dylan Talley logged 16 points and seven rebounds as the host Cornhuskers snapped a two-game losing streak to sweep the season series against the Nittany Lions.
Brandon Ubel added 14 points, nine rebounds, and three blocks and Ray Gallegos chipped in 11 points and five boards for Nebraska (12-12, 3-8 Big Ten). The Cornhuskers recorded just eight turnovers.
D.J. Newbill led Penn State (8-15, 0-11) with 17 points. Jermaine Marshall had 16 off the bench as the Nittany Lions remained winless in conference play and on the road (0-5).
Nebraska used a 20-4 run, keyed by Gallegos and Talley 3-pointers, to turn a four-point deficit into a 33-21 lead with 2:06 remaining in the first half. After Penn State scored the last five points of the half to pull within 33-26 at halftime, the Cornhuskers netted the first eight points of the second half to push their cushion to 41-26 with 16:51 left in regulation.
The Nittany Lions never got closer than 12 down the stretch. Nebraska held Penn State to 29.2 percent shooting from the field and 20 percent from beyond the arc.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Nebraska improved to 4-0 in games aired on ESPNU this season. … Penn State F Ross Travis matched a career high with 13 rebounds. … All seven Nebraska players that saw the court logged three fouls.

Nope, sorry, there's no authentic trailer out on TFN or the DVD.sw.com site. You are NOT seeing what you think you are seeing.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
yes i am! it has everything on it that would be on the real trailer! go to www.thefroce.net and see it!!!!!!!!! it has lucasfilms ltd at the begginging and there is no way a person or any other group can get all the new footage by themselves! lucas is too smart for that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is not the teaser trailer (that will be available for download as of November 9th). This is a video titled "Choices". It is similar to the "Making of" series of videos available on the official site. Do you have Episode 1 on DVD already KAM's Bro? That is apparently the only way to download this video at this time. I tried to type in dvd.starwars.com in my browser, but the page would not open (I assume because I don't own TPM on DVD yet).

The essence of Avalon is deeply impressed in our collective memory, the mythic origins of which can be found far afield from the realms of legend and richly imagined fiction. These scattered images suggest the seeds of something quite extraordinary to have cast such long shadows over the mystic landscape, and over the centuries, visionary writers from Sir Thomas Mallory to Marion Zimmer Bradley have grown and expanded upon these mythic elements, adding their own enchantments to Avalon's ever-evolving story. Jhenah Telyndru, author of Avalon Within, explains why this history, myth, and legend are important and how to find the Avalon within.

Appleton Estate Reserve Rum
Review: Appleton Estate Reserve Rum 85/100
a review by Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
Posted February 14, 2010
The Appleton Estate Reserve is much like its predecessor, the Appleton Estate VX. It has the same signature Appleton profile flavour and aroma. However, things seem to be brought up a notch with a higher level of smoothness, and more complexity. The higher level of complexity arises in part from the additional rums used to blend the Appleton Reserve, 20 in all; and a longer aging time in selected oak barrels.
In the Bottle 4.5/5
The same stylish Appleton Estate bottle is used for the Appleton Reserve as was used for the Appleton VX. Although I could not find a box display, I have been told that the bottles do indeed come packaged in a square cardboard box with graphics similar in quality to box display pictured in my Appleton Estate VX Rum Review. I like the Appleton bottle, but I have the same complaint for the Reserve, that I had for the Appleton VX. The pressed on metal cap just does not do the task well enough. I dropped the cap by accident on the floor, and when I tried to seal my bottle again the cap had deformed and would not tighten. Fortunately I had a cork which fit the bottle. The saving point is that the Appleton Reserve is not an expensive rum, and I can be forgiving of small deficiencies when my wallet is not pummeled.
In the Glass 8.5/10
The color of the Appleton Reserve is an amber/brown with a warm golden glow. Streaks of orange seem to appear in my glass as I swirl it, and long skinny legs are apparent on the side of my glass. The legs disappear quickly but a healthy shine is left on the glass indicating that the rum will be a touch buttery and should have a long finish.
The nose is more balanced than the Appleton VX. Although a zesty oak spice is at the forefront, this time a tangy citrus zests (orange and lime) with hints of nutmeg and cloves arrive almost in unison with the oak. Butterscotch and vanilla rise from the glass as well, but I seem to sense a guarded earthiness or herbal component underneath it all.
In the Mouth 50.5/60
This has a spicy zip on the tongue that is full of citrus peel, oak spice, candy apples, cloves, and cinnamon. There is, (in spite of the softness of the rum on my tongue), a sharpness and intensity in these spicy flavours. Underneath this spiciness are additional flavours of butterscotch, caramel and vanilla. At the bottom of the palate I find that earthiness, I sensed on the nose which seems almost brooding to me. I want to say this earthy layer has tastes of plantain and earthy herbs that sit at the bottom of the palate adding an additional layer of complexity that was not apparent in the Appleton VX. The overall effect is a richer, fuller taste experience. This has good balance in that I find all the flavours complimentary. There is a robustness of the flavour profile meaning that the taste experience did not change for me throughout the different tastings that I completed.
In the Throat 12.5/15
I found that the Appleton Reserve rum is much nicer to sip in a glass of ice than it is to sip neat. The sharpness of the spice is mellowed with the ice and the effect is to bring the brown sugar and caramel flavours to the fore. Even on ice the finish is long with a spicy burn that stays hot on the palate and becomes dry in the throat.
The Afterburn 9 /10
Going over my scores, I was a little surprised that they did not add up just a little higher. I find the rum has a nice complexity and balance of flavours. It is a rum with remarkable depth in the flavour profile. Since my overall impression of the rum seems to be more than the sum of its parts, I have scored the afterburn more strongly to recognize that this rum is more than it initially appears.
If you are interested in comparing more scores, here is a link to my other published Rum Reviews.
Suggested Cocktail
I found the Appleton Reserve to be a fine rum to sip over ice with a wonderful sharp and complex flavour. The layers of spice and citrus and caramel are very well-balanced. But, in truth, I think the rum reaches its full potential in a sophisticated cocktail. Here are two I find particularly tasty:
The Reserved Gentleman
a cocktail by chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
1 1/2 oz Appleton Reserve Rum
1/2 oz Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
1/4 oz Cointreau
1 tsp Simple Syrup (Dissolve a sugar cube in 1 Tsp hot water then let it cool)
Large Ice Cubes
Lime Slice or Grapefruit Peel for garnish
Combine ingredients into a metal shaker with ice.
Shake until the metal shaker chills.
Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Garnish with lime slice, or a flamed grapefruit peel
The second cocktail I recommend is an interesting bar drink I found called The Celebration. I came across it in the 1937 publication, Cafe Royal Cocktail Book, Coronation Edition, compiled by W.J. Tarling, printed in Great Britain by The Sidney Press, London and Bedford. Surprisingly (to me) I found a link to the same cocktail recipe on the Internet Cocktail Database.
The Celebration
1/3 daiquiri rum
1/3 grapefruit juice
1/6 Groseille Syrup (Red Currant Syrup)
1/6 Gin
Garnish with fruit which is in season.
The recipe is credited to J. W. Fish, of whom I could find no information. Now I realize the red currant syrup is not something many people keep in their bar supplies. Fortunately the Cocktail Database has a link to a recipe to make your own. (Groseille Syrup link). They also suggest Grenadine as a substitute, although I would recommend that you use a little less sweetener if you replace the groseille syrup with the grenadine.
Of course I could not resist tweaking the recipe to make it more suitable for my palate, and this is what I came up with:
The Appleton Celebration
2 oz Appleton Reserve Rum
2 oz Fresh Squeezed and strained Pink Grapefuit Juice
3/4 oz London Dry Gin
1/4 oz Sloe Gin
1 teaspoon Simple Sugar (or grenadine)
Combine ingredients into a metal shaker with ice.
Shake until the metal shaker chills.
Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Garnish with lemon slice
And I just couldn't resist putting the ice from the shaker into the cocktail glass as well. I found this cocktail to be extremely refreshing, and now it is a staple of my entertaining repertoire.
And always remember the aim is not to drink more it is to drink better!
You may (loosely) interpret the scores as follows.
0-25 A spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair mixing rum or whisky. Accept this but make sure it is mixed into a cocktail.
75-79 You may begin to serve this to friends, again probably still cocktail territory.
80-84 We begin to enjoy this spirit neat or on the rocks. (I will still primarily mix cocktails)
85-89 Excellent for sipping or for mixing!
90-94 Definitely a primary sipping spirit, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)

I found the Reserve to be excellent. I have tried other rums from other makers and can truly say
that the Appleton Estate Reserve is wonderful. I was introduced to the Reserve while on a
Caribbean cruise a couple of years ago. At 70 it was truly an amazing experience. It is now my
preferred rum for all occasions.
February 8, 2013 at 8:15 am
I'm watching a thread on the MoR that links here, and was curious…did you ever find out what the true ageing of the rums in the blend was? My research suggested eight years, but this was never confirmed.

Reality Check: WEAC Ad On 47th District Assembly Race
WEAC Spent Nearly $2.5M In Pre-Election Campaigning
MADISON, Wis. - The statewide teachers union is spending plenty of money on election ads this year. But a WISC-TV analysis found that the Wisconsin Education Association Council's take on the candidates in the 47th Assembly district looks more at their parties and less at the individuals.
VIDEO: Watch The Report
"Think nothing new ever happens in Madison? Maybe it's because we send the same people there, like Keith Ripp," the ad says.
Republican Keith Ripp is a first-time candidate for Assembly, not the incumbent. He's running for a seat vacated by Republican Eugene Hahn, who held the seat for 18 years.
"He's supported by Assembly Republicans, the same ones who fought against expanding affordable health care," the ad says.
But the bills referenced in the ad need some explanation.
The first bill the ad refers to in footnotes was not an actual proposal for health care. The bill proposed in 2005 said that by 2008, legislators were bound to pass a plan that would assure 98 percent of Wisconsin residents had health care coverage. It was referred to committee, and the bill died there after Republicans refused to have a vote on the floor.
The second bill referenced in this section refers to the Healthy Wisconsin plan, which was included in the Senate's version of the state budget. Assembly Republicans opposed the $15 billion plan, instead offering tax deductions for health savings accounts in their own plan.
The ad also claims these same Republicans "opposed making oil companies pay their fair share in taxes."
The bills the ad talks about would have imposed a windfall profits tax on oil companies and created an income tax credit for home heating costs. But they also would have changed state corporate tax law. A provision called "combined reporting" included in the 2005 bill and the Senate's recent state budget would require large companies to include out-of-state income when they file Wisconsin taxes.
The state Fiscal Bureau estimated it could bring an additional $93 million to the state in revenue. Republicans opposing the measure called it an increased tax on business.
"Trish O'Neil is different. She'll focus on creating new jobs, ones that lead to alternative energy solutions," the ad says.
O'Neil is also a first-time candidate for Assembly, and she is supported by Assembly Democrats. Her Web site said she'd focus on alternative energy, but it doesn't offer any specific proposals.
The ad was paid for by the Wisconsin Education Association Council, or WEAC. The state teachers union recently filed a campaign finance report, saying it has spent nearly $2.5 million in pre-election campaigning this year.

One Pot that is.
Backpackers are the masters of the one pot meal. One pot meals are also a great way to prepare meals in a cold weather environment.
Planning and preparing is made simple and the results are delicious.
Keeping Scouts warm starts with what they eat. When they prepare good meals, they eat better, when they eat better, they stay warm and have a great experience camping in the cold.
So start getting them thinking about the 1 pot meal.
Here are some benefits right up front.
First. Less mess. This means, less to clean up.
Second. Easy to prepare. As long as you are committed to preparing things at home, the one pot meal can literally take 5 to 10 minutes to prepare. Less hassle and less time.
Third. Good meals that everyone will like.
And finally, Less to carry. This is always a hit in our Troop.
Planning and preparation is the key. A simple idea of what you need, especially in the cold, what you like, and where you are going will dictate the contents of your meal.
Start with your Carbs. You are backpacking, or camping in the cold. You need to replace the energy that you burned all day. Grains are great for that, so look at pasta's and rice. But you can turn to others too, cousus is a great substitute for rice.
Then pick a meat. Chicken, Salmon, and Ham all come inconvenient pouches that do not spoil. You can precook hamburger too, throw it in ziplock bag and freeze. An easy reheat, add macaroni noodles and some cheese and corn, and you have a nice one pot casserole. Hot, tasty, and filling.
Adding veggies is a must to. You want to ensure you are getting the vitamins to go with your meal, especially on longer trips. A good way of getting your veggies in is either dehydrating your veggies, or just using frozen or dried veggies. Corn, peas, or even mixed vegetables are easy and quick to cook. Transfer your veggies from their original bags to ziplock bags based on the serving size. Reconstituting the veggies in your meal is as easy as adding it to the pot.
So its real simple… it is as easy as 1-2-3.. Carb (Noodles, Rice, Potato), Meat (Hamburger, Ham, Chicken, Salmon) and a Vegetable (Corn, Peas). Get water boiling and voila!
Here is a good recipe to get your started.
Bacon And Pea Alfredo Pasta
recipe and photo from trailcooking.com
1/2 cup freeze-dried green peas
In a zip lock sandwich bag:
1 packet Alfredo sauce mix
1/2 cup dry milk
1 Tbsp butter powder
1 tsp dried chives
1/2 tsp diced dried garlic
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Also bring:
1/2 cup shelf stable crumbled bacon (about half of a 3-ounce pouch)
Parmesan cheese
Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a 2 liter pot.
Add in the pasta and peas and cook for time on pasta direction.
Turn off your stove.
Carefully drain off the remaining water, reserving 1 1/2 cups of the pasta water for the sauce.
To the pasta, add the water back in along with the contents of the sauce bag and the bacon. Stir well. Put your pot back on the stove and bring to a boil over medium flame. Stir for a minute or two, till the sauce thickens, lowering the heat to low after it comes to a boil.
Serves 2 normal sized appetites.
Bon apetite!
Cooking is simple when you take the time to plan and prepare. It could be the difference between a cold and warm camp out for you and your Scouts.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Perhaps this has been brought up -- but I just wanted to let you know that IMOP you really outdid yourself with the TIE BOMBER. Seriously, this toy is not only Top-of-the-line, it's absolutely perfect.
Way to Go, Hasbro. Way to Go.
For a more detailed rundown on my opinion of this fine ship, check out my post over in the Reviews Thread. But in my humble opinion --- this is hands-down the best Star Wars toy. Ever. End of Story. (And I've been collecting on and off since 1978!)
I can't thank you enough! I was just utterly blown away . . . It looks more like a actual film prop than a toy . . . And yet is so fun to play with. For me this is definitely the High-water mark in the line.

Picked this up as a Site-to-store order last week from Wal-Mart.
Also, you guys have all seen the DC Hostess snacks, right? They also have Superman Twinkies, but they were just regular Twinkies with Superman on the box and were not, therefore, interesting enough for me to buy. My brother mentioned that it would have been an awesome opportunity for Hostess to try out some red velvet Twinkies, and made me really wish they had.

I don't see the need for it. Anything small, I just pay for. Anything big would probably put the dog out of competition for many weeks. $500-$700 per weekend goes a long way toward a large vet bill.
I don't see the need for it. Anything small, I just pay for. Anything big would probably put the dog out of competition for many weeks. $500-$700 per weekend goes a long way toward a large vet bill.
When I got my next dog I started researching insurance plans, only to find that most of them excluded most of the illnesses or injuries I'd want insurance for. I went with PetPlan because they had the most coverage with the fewest exclusions. I've had one minor claim with them and they were very easy to deal with.
Some people win at casinos, most people loose. Pet health insurance is the same way, or they would go out of business. Right?
Just looked at Embrace Ins - Here are some examples of what a pre-existing condition is and is not w/Embrace.
•A few years back your dog tore her right cruciate ligament. You purchase pet insurance and then she subsequently tears her left cruciate ligament 2 years into the policy. The left cruciate tear is considered a pre-existing condition.
•Your dog had an ear infection and a skin hot spot last year before you purchased your policy. You sign up for pet insurance and, a few months after the 2-week waiting period has expired, your veterinarian diagnoses your dog with allergies. These allergies would be considered a pre-existing condition
Reason enough to get your pup on an insurance plan ASAP.

I have never had an issue with pre-existing conditions, as I insure my pups at 8 weeks old.
I know everyone has different needs, but I have the insurance as just a major medical/catastrophic event policy. I can cover the other stuff.
Therefore, I have selected a $1000 per year deductible, with a $15,000 per year maximum payout (they pay 80%, after the deductible. JMO but if you are getting around $20,000 in vet bills in a year, you are probably starting to have some serious quality of life issues). I personally like the per year deductible rather than the per occurrence one, as you could run up a whole bunch of vet bills in a year and not have anything covered if all the vet bills were around $250 (a typical deductible). The insurance cost me $13 per month until this year, and it has now gone up to $15.50 per month.
They didn't have any problem with my claims when he punctured a foot, which became infected, while hunt training. They also didn't have any issue with my claim for prostatitis. Also paid for a polyp being removed from his vocal cord (grass awn!!!??!!) while doing a dental, in fact, they paid 1/2 of the anesthesia and surgical care, allocating 1/2 to the dental (not covered) and 1/2 to the polyp (covered), which I was very pleased with.
To each their own. This works for me, it gives me great peace of mind since I own one of the most cancer prone breeds.

Unfortunately, I have had to use my insurance. I have Pet Plan and so far have been very happy. I have a BC with an iliopsoas injury and have been sending in claims in 1000 dollar increments. A week ago 1144 sent in and today a check for 958. Now I am just wondering if future rates get exponentially raised or dogs get dropped?

I wish you would look on used equipment for sale on RTF! There you will find all kinds of Launchers for sale but not a Trainrite! If people felt they paid to much I'm sure they would they would sell them if a better piece of equipment were available! Cost should always be considered against satisfaction and longevity! If you want to train with top quality equipment cost is not the big priority but reliabilty is!
