Computer Security Test Gone Wrong - Please Help
December 12, 2010, 09:37:30 PM »
Ok well here is my story: Me and my friend set up a seemingly inpenetrable computer to test if we could gain access to its administrative account and extra features, ect. Our setup was one that a business would use to keep their employees from hacking their computers while also effectively preventing them from infecting thier PCs with malware. As far as we can say it works.... almost too good. This is a windows 7 32bit computer and here's what we did.
- Reset everything to factory.
- Made a completely random admin account with a LOt of letters and numbers in name and pass to prevent cracking.
- In regedit made a group policy put the hacking account in it and prevented any executable file type from running except those already available.
- Denied access to the C drive basicly you can look not edit it.
- You have no access to regedit, device manager, or anything of that sort.
- Random bios password.
- No access to SYSTEM account.
- God Mode is still possible.
So basicly its the same as a limited account without the ability to run executable file types. Which we soon learned was going to be our biggest problem. Soon we decided to switch to java as our soulution and that didnt work becuase java applications simply havnt gone far enough to help in such a terrible situation. So next we decided to look at viruses that would do they job for us. Most all viruses need to be laucned for the first time by executing them which was the problem becuase they cant do that because of the restriction policy. After 5 days we gave up now I have been seeking help online because we cant do this alone we dont have the hacking skills. I would consider this to be an ultimate test for any hacker ethical or otherwise so anyone that can defeat this is truely amazing. Oh yea and remember that we want to attack this computer without the help of any outside source, like another computer or taking the hard drive out, and hacking it with another computer.

Well taking the HD out is the easiest route since the data may or "probably not" be encrypted. Since that is not an option and you are using Windows, I would suggest that you look at several of the Microsoft Security Bulletins as they may point you at a flaw in one of the executables already on the system like with Word or Excel. One question though, can the user save files or make use of a USB drive or other peripheral? I ask only because you say the C: drive is locked down and they cannot write to it. Is the system boot password protected or just the BIOS? Can the 1st boot device be changed? What is the boot order?

I don't mean my commentary to be nothing more than constructive criticism
- Made a completely random admin account with a LOt of letters and numbers in name and pass to prevent cracking.
This means absolutely nothiing nothing. As the saying goes, "Why Crack When You Can Pass the Hash?" (
) Furthermore, at some point in time, you're going to have to either write down that password or store it somewhere. What will you do in the event that you lose it?
- In regedit made a group policy put the hacking account in it and prevented any executable file type from running except those already available.
Also means nothing, if I replace something trusted, it will run that executable so escalation is possible. You're better off configuring HIDS (
) with alerting going to an SIEM (
). From the SIEM you could create triggers to perform things like logging someone off, etc
- Denied access to the C drive basicly you can look not edit it.
If I intend on extracting data your DB, all I need to do is look at it. Who cares if I can't edit it.
I believe you have particular view of security that could never work in the real world especially for a business. I suggest taking a look at the NSA's hardening guides:
They will give you a better guideline.
Businesses all differ and what you'll end up doing is strangling yourself and frustrating your client. Once upon a 15 years ago, I decided that C2 (
) is the level of security I wanted to have on my network.
I created a monster ini file to go and lock down machines from copying and pasting, printscreen, sharing, you name it, there was no way in hell someone could leverage anything on the network. Guess what? Once managers were unable to perform necessary functions, it became counterproductive. The approach I took was wrong.
You seriously need to perform a risk assessment to determine what needs protecting and why. You do this so you don't waste time and resources on unnecessary things. Once you understand
needs protection, then you need to determine
you need to protect it from.
Your house needs protection from the possibility of a burgular. Do you a) spend money on every single entrypoint or b) determine what can he possibly get into? If you said a) then you'd waste money buying gates for all of your windows, triple locks on every single door, guard dogs around the perimeter and so on. Had you said b), you could stop and think for a moment... "I'll save the money on uber locks, doors and dogs, get a good lock for the front and back and get an alarm system. Besides, if I have 3 locks on each door, what happens if there is a fire, am I trapping myself in here."
Security is comprised of processes and procedures whether we as techies like it or not. Begin with a real world plan. The theory that you submitted won't fly.

Sgt_mjc external drives are useable but booting into another OS such as linux to copy the sam file isnt possible, I dunno why and we tried it already but duel booting and other booting methods (even booting from a cd) is not possible. I think I am just going to purge the hard drive and reinstall windows it seems like the only choice.
And sil I understand what point you are trying to get accross, but that doesn't help my situation at all, thanks anyways.

For locking down the system in a meaningful way after doing a risk analysis, you could also look at the guides published by DISA at
. These are a little more current that what is published at the NSA site. The key though, is to determine what you have that needs protected and how much protection does it need. Sil's analogy of a house is great and spot on. Hang in there. We all made mistakes when we started.

I'd recommend the following three books to keep around and read, re-read, reference, etc.
In fact, just about anything the Peltier writes is worth having. Security metrics is a must have book for security numbers management however, if you're into the IT (technology) then it will outright bore you to death. If you HAVE to or like to (don't know why), if you like to deal with security management, its worth having to aide you in coming up with decent, reasonable security metrics (math).
From my perspective, there is ONLY OBJECTIVE points of view, NEVER CAN IT BE SUBJECTIVE DO NOT BE FOOLED; OBJECTIVE POV's when it comes to security management/risk metrics. That of the AV * EF = (*cough*bull*cough) SLE
Fuzzy math. Here is the breakdown, followed by my bastardization of the breakdown:
* AV = Asset Value (Expressed in dollars)
Try understanding how to define an asset when your infrastructure is in the cloud will you. What shall you say is your asset value then, the cost of the cloud computing service you're paying for.
* EF = Exposure factor (Expressed as a percentage of the asset value)
See above. What shall you do when you're cloud provider doesn't allow you to perform a vulnerability OR penetration test against your virtualized instance. You could NEVER get a concrete number on this.
* SLE = Single Loss Expectancy (It can be defined as the monetary value expected from the occurrence of a risk on an asset.)
But if you're not allowed to perform proper Risk Assessments on what will you be basing your number?
* ALE = Annual Loss Expectancy
* ARO = Annual Rate of Occurrence (Number of exposures or incidents that could be expected per year)
So my example is as follows... I have an Amazon EC3 host which provides email service. This generates for me approximately 10,000.00 per year. The total cost for me to have this EC3 instance is $25.00 per month (300.00 per year). It cost me a one time charge of 100.00 to configure and a recurring 10.00 per month to maintain. So far I am spending $420.00 per year. I'll set my asset value at $500.00 to be fair. EC3 is not a tangible asset and can be replaced at the whopping cost of 120.00. There are other fees associated with the setup I could throw in the mix. Cost of salary associated with the programmers and developers who'd have to do the work and so on. In a nutshell, fuzzy math, it's whatever I want it to be (OBJECTIVE) even though I can use SUBJECTIVE numbers (25.00 * 12)
EF = 10% (because its Amazon, they WON'T let me pentest in a multitenant cloud... I don't and WON'T have real security metrics)
ARO = How humorous is that... ARO. "Gee, I'm hoping to not get owned 2x this year. But because its Amazon and out of my control, I can't outright fix things, 2x per year I expect this happening" So my ARO is 2,400.00
Would it be save to say that I should spend $240.00 to protect myself? $240.00 to protect myself... I'm making 10,000.00 per year from this venture. Anyhow, risk management metrics is an art, not a proven science. While there are some measurables to be obtained from risk management, the fact is as quoted in the past: "There are lies, damned lies and statistics"
AV * EF = SLE is flawed for technology from my POV because there are too many variables to throw into the equation:
From OWASP:
AV x EF = SLE
If our Asset Value is $1000 and our Exposure Factor (% of loss a realized threat could have on an asset) is 25% then we come out with the following figures:
$1000 x 25% = $250
So, our SLE is $250 per incident. To extrapolate that over a year we can apply another formula:
SLE x ARO = ALE (Annualized Loss Expectancy)
The ALE is the possibility of a specific threat taking place within a one-year time frame. You can define your own range, but for convenience sake let's say that the range is from 0.0 (never) to 1.0 (always). Working on this scale an ARO of 0.1 would indicate that the ARO value is once every ten years. So, going back to our formula, we have the following inputs:
SLE ($250) x ARO (0.1) = $25 (ALE)
Therefore, the cost to us on this particular asset per annum is $25. The benefits to us are obvious, we now have a tangible (or at the very least semi-tangible) cost to associate with protecting the asset. To protect the asset, we can put a safeguard in place up to the cost of $25 / annum.
Looking at OWASP's (
) interpretation of it makes sense no? How about we define some more threats...
Loss of power = threat ... Sometimes even Colo's go down
Loss of connectivity = threat ... Anonymous' attacks via Mastercard/Visa shows this threat...
How do you calculate these risks/threats. You don't. That is, according to the rules of the game you don't:
You can define your own range,
So what is the value of these metrics at the end of the day when you
truly calculate risk. All you can do is offer qualitative metrics (but that is an altogether 'nother story (Qualitative versus Quantitative)

I'm assuming here that your goal is recovering the machine, based on the implied urgency of your post? Can you be more clear on what you are trying to achieve?
I have to agree that you're not looking at all of your options, some of it is really simple.
Depending on what kind of motherboard it is (I'm assuming it's a tower), there may be a jumper to reset the BIOS password, or a way to use the error code returned for a wrong password attempt as a hash to recover the BIOS password.
Then the OS, like sgt_mjc said, you can physically remove the hard drive and attach it to another machine. From there, (I'm not sure how well this works with Windows 7) you may be able to use a tool like chntpw to reset a user's password (someone with admin privileges) to whatever you want it to be.
I've never been really good with privilege escalation if you already have credentials for another user, but there are probably lots of methods.
I also agree with what sil said, in that you really have to measure how much security is necessary for the data you have, and the people in control of it. I've seen some small company networks where the bosses get their way with IT policies, to the point where they were too bothered by a 90 password expiration policy that they decided to have it cancelled.
You can have the greatest policies in the world, but if someone still leaves their password written on a sticky note in their desk, it doesn't mean anything.
If your goal is simply answers on how to break into it, then there are plenty of resources available to expand your knowledge of computer security. This is a great site for that!
Put that in your pipe and grep it!

Thanks Sil !! Wow that is good explanation and a good start from me to learn more about risk assessment.
One more question I have done security assessment basically all I do is Vulnerability Scanning is that what general industry practise ?? or should i be doing more steps..anything i refer and Learn.

A vulnerability scan is a good start but can give you an incomplete picture. If you look at it from a Risk perspective, there is more you need to look at. A vulnerability scan like that performed by Nessus, will give network facing vulnerabilities like FTP server listening. It will not tell you necessarily if the system is vulnerable to a local privilege escalation. For that you need other tools or methods. You also need to look at the configuration of the network, disaster plans, user agreements, etc. The list goes on. In the Federal space, they are migrating to NIST SP800-37 Guide for Applying the Risk Management Framework to Federal Information Systems and using NIST SP800-53a Guide for Assessing the Security Controls in Federal Information Systems and Organizations. This process is very similar to the DoD process call DIACAP. Both are risk management activities designed to minimize risks to C-I-A (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability). They take in the whole picture, nut just a vulnerability scan.

Vulnerability scanning is only one "technical" part of the risk assesment process. The "business" part is equally important.
One method (not the best) to approacjh Risk Assesment is:
These 5 components have to be estimate into the organization specific context with the approval of the business.
Once this estimate is done, business,
and only business
, have to evaluate the risk and then decide to keep, avoid, reduce or transfer the risk.
You're only here to estimate the risk. Executives and business people are here to evaluate it and decide the way to treat it
At this point, it is possible to determine
necessary and sufficient
security objectives and requirements.
This approach is called "EBIOS" and is promoted by the DCSSI and recognized by the French administrations and, accordiang to me, has a some good pedagogic virtues

Hope this helps

BIDWELL — As established wine-producers, Lisa and Tim Merry felt pretty confident that locally-brewed beer would be a success in Gallia County. The couple, who jointly own Merry Family Winery in Bidwell, had heard regular inquiries over the years from their customers on the subject of beer.
"Nobody was brewing beer around here, and people kept asking us about it," Tim Merry said, "so we decided to give it a try."
The brewery takes its name, Old Mill Craft Beer, from its home — the old mill, which used to be the venue for Jewell Evans' Grist Mill. It is a building that comes with some well-known Gallia County history; Jewell Evans was married to locally-born and raised Bob Evans of Bob Evans Farms fame.
The Merrys had considered the possibility of starting a brewery for about two years. After the initial success of the winery, which opened in 2006, they found that the wine business was growing and expanding every bit as as well as they had hoped — so much, in fact, that they decided to move it to a larger building, the old mill, obtaining more land for vineyards.
They kept the existing vineyards, as well, and found that they had space at their new location for growing their own hops.
"We grow the hops and harvest the flowers," Tim Merry said, "We use ten different kinds of hops, and they all have different names; three of them are Columbus, Cascade and Centennial."
Merry added that both businesses began as hobbies, but they are very labor-intensive. When they decided to begin producing beer professionally, there was much work to be done.
Merry noted, "After we got our state and federal licenses, we had to get all the equipment. We needed tanks and fermenting equipment. We needed grain, some of which we had to grind. It's a lot of work, but it sure beats working for someone else."
There are a lot of variables in the beer-making process, Merry said.
"When it comes to the amount of time it takes to make beer, they're all different so it varies. I brew in 50-gallon batches; I can brew up a batch in about four hours, but then I have to let it ferment and clear," Merry said. "That can take anything from two weeks to six months."
At the moment, the brewery offers three different beers, which they sell by the glass or in 12-ounce bottles.
"We have an imperial ale with a citrus flavor, a black lager with chocolate and dark malts and an India pale ale with a bold hop flavor," Merry said, adding that the brewery has purchased some Buffalo Trace Bourbon distillery whiskey barrels to add a bourbon flavor to future batches.
The Merrys were both born and raised in the area, noted Tim, who added that he's glad to stay and support and boost the local economy.
"Lisa's from just across the river, and I was born in Gallipolis," said Tim Merry. "The winery-brewery's in Bidwell, and that's as far as I'm going."
The winery and brewery are open from 10:30 a.m. until 8 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Additional information may be obtained from the web site at merryfamilywinery.com, or the Merry Family Facebook page, or by calling (740) 245-9463.

Chancellor's Message
The University of Massachusetts Boston Board of Visitors Co-Chair alumna Selma Sax '63 recently said: "UMass Boston is an incredible place to be in an incredible time in history." She is right. We have become a great public urban research university, while honoring our origins as a teaching institution and our tradition of public service.
We have taken bold steps to grow in stature as a sophisticated research university and to play a distinguished part on the global stage. We have become the university our founders destined us to be in their original statement of purpose: well equipped to provide opportunities truly "equal to the best."
Our journey of growth would not be possible without the investment of alumni and friends who share our vision. That's why we celebrate your generosity and the achievements of philanthropy during the past year. Thanks to the generosity of thousands of alumni, friends, corporations and foundations, the University of Massachusetts Boston received $6,212,809 in private support in fiscal year 2012 (July 1, 2011 – June 30, 2012).
Among the donors in this report, you'll meet:
- Charter university student Audrey Taub '69 whose consistent unrestricted support contributes to the success of the UMass Boston Fund.
- Vivian Lorenzoni '62 who has realized her desire to educate aspiring teachers.
- Lornie Bullerwell '69 whose gift annuity will support future biologists.
- Student Philanthropy Council members and their efforts to plant the seeds of giving early to cultivate the next generation of university donors.
- Gerard and Jane Gaughan '68 who are bringing equity to the health professions through a fund that strengthens pre-medical education at the College of Science and Mathematics students.
We hope you enjoy these stories and others and that by reading them you will see the remarkable commitment of UMass Boston's alumni and friends.
May their creative investment in the university's future inspire greater levels of private philanthropy over the coming year.
We celebrate your generosity. Thank you.

Archives > Carrollton Leader > News
Metrocrest Social Services names Tracy Eubanks CEO
By Dan Eakin, firstname.lastname@example.com
Bunny Summerlin, who has been with Metrocrest Social Services since 1996 and executive director since 2001, will retire at the end of April.
She will be replaced by Tracy Eubanks, a business leader who has been serving as president of the Metrocrest Chamber of Commerce.
Eubanks has been credited with leading a revitalization of the Metrocrest chamber�s leadership among businesses in the Addison, Carrollton and Farmers Branch areas. At the end of April, he will take the helm at the growing non-profit, whose mission is to provide emergency assistance and comprehensive programs to move families toward self-sufficiency.
Cindy Colangelo, Metrocrest Social services board chair, said, �We are pleased to have someone as well respected as Tracy to assume the role of CEO once Bunny Summerlin retires. For more than a year, our board has worked to ensure a smooth succession to the next leadership phase of the agency. Tracy has proven to be a great leader within our community and he will help guide our organization as we grow to meet the needs of the people we serve.�
Eubanks has been involved with Metrocrest Social Services for years, having served on the board since 2007, and served as the non-profit�s chairman from October 2010 to October 2011. Metrocrest Social Services provides assistance for individuals in Carrollton, Farmers Branch, Addison, Coppell and those in zip code 75287 in Denton County. The agency assists families in solving their immediate crisis and then helps them to make plans for the future with services including rent and utility assistance, food pantry, employment services and seasonal programs. More than simply support, Metrocrest Social Services is a community resource and is among the top six percent of non-profits in the DFW area, in regards to size.�
In 2012, almost 11,000 individuals received services that helped them through a tough situation in their lives.
As president of the Metrocrest Chamber of Commerce, Eubanks used his business acumen to lead a team that has inspired a new energy among businesses in the chamber.� During Eubanks�s term, new membership has increased 55 percent, revenue increased 49.9 percent and the chamber gained 117 percent more profitability. New programs and revitalized traditions have inspired a new energy among the chamber, which is active with business lunch and learn seminars, networking events, award galas and educational opportunities.
�As much as we hate to lose Tracy, we couldn�t be more excited about his new opportunity!� said Jamie Robertson, president of PlainsCapital Bank Carrollton and 2013 chairman of the Metrocrest Chamber of Commerce. �Tracy has given the Chamber a new life with a solid foundation to support the businesses in the Metrocrest area.� I know that he will bring that same enthusiasm and dedication to his new position.�
At the annual Metrocrest Chamber of Commerce Award Banquet last Friday night, Robertson said, �Tracy has assisted us in getting our chamber back on track and has given us a solid base that we can continue growth.�
Eubanks has served as president of the Metrocrest Chamber since 2011.� Previously, led Mapsco, Inc., for 17 years, successfully navigating the beloved Dallas mapping company through an acquisition by Universal Map Group of Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, in 2010.�
He was also the owner and operator of Main Street Booksellers in Lewisville, a community-minded bookstore focused on education and support of local schools. He also had worked as a buyer and regional manager for Barnes & Noble and B. Dalton Booksellers.
Eubanks is a 2007 graduate of Leadership Metrocrest and is also a five-time national champion in U.S. National Handball. He received a bachelor�s degree in business administration from the University of North Texas and lives in Carrollton with his wife, Malena; children, Olivia and Hannah; and grandson, Kyle.
�I am very honored and humbled to be asked to work with an organization so close to my heart, as Metrocrest Social Services is a beacon for many in our community that need assistance � my own neighbors and friends,� noted Eubanks. �I look forward to working with the team as we envision new ways to partner with the community to grow our ability to help others in a way that is good business for everyone.�

General Dentistry
- Oral Exam
A comprehensive oral exam is an extensive evaluation and the recording of all extraoral, intraoral and soft tissues of the mouth. A comprehensive exam lays the foundation for the "routine (periodic) oral exam" and is much more than just a cleaning. The mouth is really a window into the body. Medical conditions may be discovered by a comprehensive dental exam before symptoms show up elsewhere in the body.
and X-RaysDental X-ray examinations provide valuable information that helps your dentist evaluate your oral health. With the help of radiographs (the term for pictures taken with X-rays), your dentist can look at what is happening beneath the surface of your teeth and gums. If you have questions about your dental X-ray exam, talk with your dentist.
- Teeth Cleaning
A clean, healthy mouth starts with clean, healthy teeth. Regular cleanings help remove plaque and tartar build-up and prevent you from getting periodontal diseases. read more
- Fillings
Restoration of lost tooth structure with metal, porcelain or resin materials. We are proud that we use only the latest technologies for fillings. Your smile can remain unflawed if you should need a filling. Let us take care of your cavities with our expert filling processes.
- Crowns
Dental crowns and bridges are very popular among people of all ages, of either sex, and regardless of ethnic diversity. These are mostly cosmetic forms of treatment, covering unsightly teeth or replacing missing teeth. read more
and BridgesBridges resemble natural teeth, and are designed to take the place of areas where there are missing teeth. A bridge is a stationary dental prosthesis (appliance) fixed to teeth adjacent to a space. It replaces one or more missing teeth, cemented or bonded, to supporting teeth or implants adjacent to the space. read more
Specialty Dentistry
- Oral Surgery
Includes the diagnosis, surgical and related treatment of diseases, injuries and defects involving both the functional and esthetic aspects of the hard and soft tissues of the head, mouth, teeth, gums, jaws and neck.
– ExtractionsRemoval of a tooth.
- Endodontics
The treatment of injuries, diseases and infections of the tooth pulp (nerve chamber).
– Root CanalUnfortunately not all teeth are perfectly healthy. We can save a damaged tooth by performing a root canal — which removes decay on the interior space of the root. We will discuss this and other options with you before determining what works best for you.
- Prosthodontics
"Prosthodontics" involves dentures, bridges, crowns, implants, and similar areas of expertise commonly associated with cosmetic dentistry. Many dentists who specialize in prosthodontics also go on to receive special training in oral or maxillofacial surgery or prosthodontics. read more
– DenturesDentures are removable (partial or complete) set of artificial teeth. Whether you have lost teeth due to decay or an accident, we can help you feel confident and get you smiling again with properly fitting dentures. Let us work with you to determine what method works best for you.
, Dental ImplantsSometimes, a missing tooth will create the need for a dental implant. A dentist typically uses implants replace a missing tooth or teeth. Dental implants are normally made of titanium at the root, with a traditional crown as the tooth itself. They are an excellent alternative to pulling several teeth in order to utilize a bridge or to get dentures. However, dentures can be made from implants, but can be quite costly without dental insurance coverage.
- Periodontics
A dental specialist who treats the gums and supporting soft and hard tissues in order to retain natural teeth and prepare for surgical placement of dental implants. Heredity, diet and other factors can result in gum disease. We will help you get a treatment plan that aggressively attacks any form of periodontal disease that will soon have your mouth back in top health.
– Treatment of Gum DiseaseIt is possible to have periodontal disease and have no warning signs. Treatment methods depend upon the type of disease and how far the condition has progressed. Good oral hygiene at home is essential to help keep periodontal disease from becoming more serious or recurring. You don't have to lose teeth to periodontal disease. Brush, clean between your teeth, eat a balanced diet, and schedule regular dental visits for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
- Pediatric Dentistry (Children)
As the name implies, pediatric dentistry is the field of medicine that deals with dentists for children. A children's dentist specializes in the care of a child's small mouth and teeth, normally including braces, invisible braces, crowns, fillings, cleanings, plates, x-rays, and similar tools in everyday work. read more
- Orthodontics
Orthodontics is somewhat similar to prosthodontics, since both use artificial means of replacing, repairing, or correcting the smile and jaw. However, where prosthodontics focus on bridges, dentures, and implants, orthodontics normally involves dental braces and similar features in order to do the job. read more
– BracesDevices used by orthodontists to gradually reposition teeth to a more favorable alignment.
, InvisalignInvisalign is a series of removable, clear aligners that both orthodontists and dentists use to promote an invisible way of straightening teeth without using traditional braces.
Cosmetic Dental Care

Is that a bad thing ??? We all know I don't quite qualify for the latter anymore, but are still capable of the snotty nose for what it's worth.
OH GOD Lance, now you've crossed the line !!!! Don't ever use the word "smear" when talking with any old JNCP'er my friend, just conjures up very bad memories of one of our greatest foes from those good ol' day's. Sheetface Pink Pony Boy's image is indelibly stamped in my brain forever after his little "smear thread" and I still have nightmares of clicking on that thread.
Well, between his debating and Poofessoria's love of Mass, I think we have ourselves some common ground !!!!
Most of this post is well above my intellectual capabilities BUT....... I was always out trying "to pull a root" and I was certainly NO millionaire or Pro athelete, in fact I had nuttin' of value that I recall, so I can only imagine how tough it would be to turn a blind eye to all the de-lish-ess-ness that must present itself his way. Also, I was a huge Christopher Hitchens fan.
Isn't that what got him into all this trouble in the first place ????? Ohhhh, OUR Lance you mean, sorry, carry on !!!!
Oh damn !!!!, almost forgot. BECCA say's ..... "Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii everyone, been to long since we spoke"
Money & wealth is a great tool to ease over most bumps in life, but it is not absolutely essential to pulling women. Don't get me wrong, as it is very hard to pull and retain a hot babe golddigger without the caiiish, but with the exception of that demographic (which is unfortunately expanding very rapidly) the brain power and self-esteem of the male gender is more of an aphrodisiac to the fairer sex, than when he leads with his wallet. After all, if all that one uses as bait is his wallet, well then, one must also expect the "quality" of the catch. There are many more average Joes with a rebel attitude and a grin on their face who pull much cuter poon than your average Silicon Valley nerd millionaire.
I think we have to classify soccer as a pastime as well....... 'Fairy tale': Soccer team assembled for $10,000 slays English giants, wins over Dalai Lama Clive Brunskill / Getty Images, fileGary Jones, left, and James "Big Jim" Hanson of Bradford City FC celebrate following their team's victory over English Premier League club Arsenal on Dec. 11, 2012. Only three years ago, Hanson was stacking shelves at a local supermarket. On Sunday, he'll play in front of 90,000 people at London's iconic Wembley Stadium. By Ian Johnston, Staff Writer, NBC News BRADFORD, England -- It is the sort of "fairy tale" story that sounds made for Hollywood. Led by the unlikeliest of heroes, a passionate team of underdogs emerges from the shadow of near-bankruptcy to go an improbable winning streak, eliminating a series of big-name (and huge-budgeted) rivals and bringing hope to their poverty-stricken hometown. But the real-life story of Bradford City Football Club might be too unbelievable for even the most cliche-loving studio exec who's watched "Hoosiers" and "The Bad News Bears" one too many times. Assembled for just $10,000, the team's extraordinary exploits have spirits soaring in the Yorkshire city and far beyond. Currently lying in 79th place out of the 92 top clubs in England, Bradford City will on Sunday contest a national cup final after a succession of thrilling, giant-killing triumphs over teams including Arsenal, the London-based club valued at $1.5 billion last year.
SECOND !!!!! That should get Droopy and SandyBob in here shortly.... Ive been watching a little of the English soccer of late (my boys in what would be the old Division 2 level are going alright currently) and I did see a couple of upsets in the League Cup games. Fantastic atmoshere at those little suburban grounds when one of the "big boys" comes to town and they can cause an upset, it must be said.
Those pics look as good now as they did 5 years ago Mate.......... ( you went straight to that site and looked, didnt you !!!!)
Your both off the mark ...... All that needed to be changed in that sentence for it to be politically correct was the hypen to disappear..... A week of that should see him entered in the 3rd at Dusseldorf racetrack, coming out of barrier 12 I reckon.
Can this Pistorius get any fargin' stranger ???? First the whole "burglar who just so happened to take a dump, so I shot him through the door, ooops, the girlfriend isn't in bed, this could get messy " bullshit ..... Then the cop in charge is found to be up on attempted murder charges himself (lets not even get into the fact that he was even still working, let alone on such a high profile case as this one shall we) Now its been reported that Dorf's brother, Carl, is also up on a charge of culpable homicide from 2010 !!!!! Farg me drunk .................. is there anyone in this Country who HASN'T killed anyone ??? I'm sure the sister must be next .............. she has all the makings of a mass murderer, all those tears don't fool me.
OK Pump, Im up watching this race, waiting to see what she's made of..... When does something happen ? All Ive seen so far resembles exactly what I see on my daily drive every day, bumper to bumper traffic, all thats missing is the Sports talk radio.
Way to jinx a team BLEW !!!! "Swansea beat Bradford 5-0 to win League Cup trophy" I believe your #2 Membership cardholder staus has been revoked.
Did they ever ................... must have been still pissed from the game before I bet. Where's PUMPY ? I'm still waiting to see someone make a fargin'"pass" in this race !!!! ................this single file bullshite is weak sauce crap, I see gutsier moves by the ants in the backyard who pull out and "go for it" more often than any of these drivers have thus far. My God this is boring stuff, one's mind must be ticking over at a helluva slow pace if this is what gets the heart pumping....
What the hell just happened ???? How did she go from sitting pretty in 3rd, to finishing 8th on that last lap ?????? Why didnt she duck down inside like Jnr did ?? I just don't get this sport at all, when winning doesn't seem a priority, you have to suspect something's a little stanky !!! .................... has way to many "Wrestling elements" for my liking.

The Chicago Blackhawks have overcome stern challenges to extend their respective point streaks. Joel Quenneville's club should expect another such effort from the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday afternoon when the Original Six rivals meet at the Joe Louis Arena. Chicago has secured at least a point in all 21 contests this season and 27 straight dating back to March 25, 2012.
The Blackhawks extended their winning streak to eight games with victories over St. Louis and Columbus. Chicago will face yet another Central Division rival in the form of Detroit, which pushed the Blackhawks past regulation before succumbing to a 2-1 overtime loss on Jan. 27. The Red Wings, who have dropped three straight to Chicago, posted their third win in four games with a 2-1 shootout triumph over San Jose on Thursday.
TV: 12:30 p.m. ET, NBC, NHLCA
ABOUT THE BLACKHAWKS (18-0-3): Marian Hossa is expected to play in his 1,000th career regular-season game against his former team. Hossa, who played with the Red Wings during the 2008-09 season, has been held off the scoresheet in six of his last nine contests. The 34-year-old Hossa did have an assist in the teams' previous meeting.
ABOUT THE RED WINGS (10-8-3): Captain Henrik Zetterberg tipped his cap to the Blackhawks when asked how Chicago's current stretch compares to Detroit's NHL record 23-game home winning streak in 2011-12. "It's a little different. We lost on the road ... We didn't feel the streak, like I probably think they are feeling right now, every game," Zetterberg told the Detroit Free Press. "... Hopefully it will end (Sunday) and if it does, they had a good run." Zetterberg, who had an assist in the teams' previous meeting, has 47 points in 49 career games versus the Blackhawks.
1. Chicago G Corey Crawford's 1.46 goals-against average leads all qualifying goaltenders this season while his .943 save percentage trails only Ottawa's Craig Anderson (.952).
2. The electrifying Pavel Datsyuk has failed to score a goal since recording tallies in five straight games from Feb. 9-19.
3. Detroit G Jimmy Howard has dropped three in a row and nine of 13 career meetings (4-6-3) versus the Blackhawks, but has yielded just a 2.80 goals-against average.
PREDICTION: Red Wings 3, Blackhawks 2

Along with tracking down 1099 forms at tax time and figuring out how many assignments it takes to pay for health coverage, limiting your time in the home office and the stagnancy of said place is one of the toughest challenges a freelancer faces. If you're not fortunate enough to have some company pull you into their own digs for a few days a week, chances are you'll need to check in to the nearest Wi-Fi enabled spot just to stop your beloved home's walls from closing in on you.
That's assuming the task at hand can be accomplished on your computer. Otherwise, you're either seeking out a friend's garage or basement space for your craft or looking for some like-minded folks who don't mind the mess and noise.

*updated: don't miss Kelley's raccoon cross stitch pendant (with free stitch chart) here!*

raccoon week: elbow patches
raccoon week continues... and it's time to get your raccoon template ready because Kelley of casa crafty is here with a fab tutorial for raccoon elbow patches!
Rachael is going bonkers with the raccoon love! She is coming up with some great (and simple) last minute holiday gifts, decor and of course blog posts! Going off of her design, a weeks worth of us are making raccoon inspired fun. I am going to keep the theme going on my blog also, in conjunction with the other guest posters by offering a cross stitch pattern, a pincushion how to and alterations for a foxy feel.
To get started you need to follow Rachael's Raccoon ornament instructions, and you need a shirt you want to have elbow patches. You could easily do this for a child, I just happen to like unexpected details like this.
I used a tiny spot of glue on the back of each felt piece to keep it together while Murphy was "helping" me. I secured all the layers with an outlining blanket stitch
...and I think I wear it well.
To put your patches on your sweater (or top of choice) put on your sweater and straighten your sleeves, then fold your arm so you can see your elbow and mark the center with a pin or pen.
great illustration:
I secured my patches with a blanket stitch along the edges. the felt won't fray, but you should be cautious when washing because the felt will get weird in the dryer. I would wash on delicate and then line dry. you could also make these patches and then secure them to your shirt with safety pins, but it won't be as smooth a finish.

Thanks for having me Rachael!
thanks, Kelley!! i'm off to patch up that sweater with hole-y elbows that i've been meaning to resurrect for, well... far too long ;)

Oh, and I would say, as learned from personal experience, some felts bleed inthe wash (even good quality ones), so use cold water and maybe a color catcher. I think I might do knee patches for the boys!

Do you think I'd be able to get the same effect if I made rabbits instead of raccoons?? :)

LSI CTO touts promise of flash, open source
Rick Merritt
SAN JOSE, Calif. – The storage industry has just started to harvest opportunities in non-volatile memory and open source. Those were just two observations during a wide-ranging interview with Greg Huff, chief technology officer at LSI Corp.
Facebook's Open Compute Project (OCP) and the Open Networking Foundation are defining open source projects around computing and networking, respectively. In addition, OpenStack and others are creating open source code for cloud computing.
"Nobody has chosen to do for storage what Facebook has done for servers with their Open Compute initiative," Huff said.
OCP defines an open hardware rack that includes storage but "what will be a future need is physical and logical management, including storage management," said Wayne M. Adams, Chair of the Storage Networking Industry Association that also is developing an open source version of its Cloud Data Management Interface for Openstack.
But Adams was skeptical about a broader opportunity. "There is no major significant gap in the industry for storage functionality whereby a new open source project needs to be launched," he said.
LSI's Greg Huff is bullish about the prospects for flash and open source storage.
Meanwhile, vendors are rushing headlong to plug flash memory into computers and network storage devices of all descriptions to deliver performance boosts and reap big profits. LSI is riding high on this trend with its recently acquired Sandforce flash controllers as well as flash cards for ultrabooks and combo RAID/flash cards for servers.
Next: Flash to the masses
How are you handling the flash land grab?
What would you like to see in open source storage?
Most times when companies come together to do open source in hardware, I tend to think they are not serious. They never get the best minds to waste their time on open source for hardware.
Understand your thought, but the same thing was also said about open source software. The overall question is where the ROI comes from...
I just had a walk through of the Open Vault storage component of Facebook's Open Compute project. Watch for details early next week.

text: Janell Baum Archives Email Author Is 2012 A "Drought Hall of Fame" Contender? A Ball State meteorologist says this drought may rival those of the Dust Bowl years. Published on: Jul 26, 2012 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print As crop conditions continue on a downhill slide, some meteorologists are skipping the comparisons to the 1988 drought and jumping right into Dust Bowl data. Meteorologist David Call of Ball State University in Muncie, Ind., said the Dust Bowl is a good comparison to 2012, as 1988's drought wasn't as widespread. "Every state in the continental U.S. has some portion of it in some state of abnormally dry or drought level," Call said. "It's not uncommon for there to be dry areas, but this drought is a stretch so far." He said that the two major droughts in the '30s (1934 and 1936), affected nearly the entire country, much like the drought of 2012. But, he said, they were a little different.A Ball State meteorologist says this drought may rival those of the Dust Bowl years. "I suppose one could argue that 1934 was drier while 1936 was hotter, but that's like trying to compare Peyton Manning and Tom Brady – either drought would easily make the first round "Drought Hall of Fame" ballot," Call said. Anyway, it's bad. According to the latest U.S. Drought Monitor data, more than 55% of the contiguous U.S. is in moderate or worse drought conditions, a trend that is expected to continue. And, that limited rainfall coupled with record heat means crops are continuing to suffer. The latest USDA crop condition reports show 21% of the nation's corn crop in very poor condition and only 3% rated as excellent. Shattered Records While it is hard to tell exactly when drought worries started to intensify, this spring ushered in a host of record breaking temperatures. "This whole drought started very early," Call said. "In the month of June, we set thousands of temperature records across the country. Whatever state you were in, you were probably setting records." While record temperatures caught our attention, it was the lack of rain that really made us watch. Call said Palmer Drought Indices are one way meteorologists assess rainfall and drought conditions. He said that this measure compares rainfall by rank, and explained that only about 10% of years were drier than this year in all but a dozen states, roughly. Indiana's rank is 3%, meaning it has only experienced drought conditions worse than this year about four times. "For most states, the Palmer Drought Index, which goes back to 1895, ranks this drought among the top 10 or so years—so far," Call said.
