Post subject: GB "Let's Get Nasty" Mock (Super Soldier Edition)
Dom Capers fired as DC
We all knew this was coming, let's be honest. After laying a giant stinker 3 out of the last 4 years in crunch time, TT decides enough is enough and moves on.
Packers hire Romeo Crennel as new DC.
With the Chiefs letting him go and Capers no longer there, TT sees the opportunity to nab a perfect replacement and hires former DC/HC Romeo Crennel. This allows us to stick with the 3-4 defense while giving us a proven commodity at DC (which he's obviously best at), having previously ran the elite Pats defenses of the early 2000s during their "Dynasty" years. With some new pieces added to the defense (to be revaled later on) and familiarity with the scheme, here's hoping he can return the magic to GB.
Not Resigned/retired/released/traded:
WR Greg Jennings-Tagged and traded to Jets (details below)
**NOTE: this is assuming (keyword:
) a deal can be worked out with another team (say the Dolphins or Jets, both of whom need a WR) BEFORE Tagging Jennings, which is exactly what a mock is: a simulation, hence the T&T (in before "oh, but there's no way Jennings will be T&T'ed").
WR Donald Driver-retired
C Jeff Saturday-retired
SS Charles Woodson-retired
ILB A.J. Hawk-traded to Bills for 4th round pick [104]
CB Tramon Williams-traded to Bucs along w/TE D.J. Williams and 2014 4th round pick [122] for 2nd [44] and 3rd [75] round picks.
RB Cedric Benson-not re-signed
RB Ryan Grant-not re-signed
ILB Brad Jones-not re-signed
ILB Jamari Lattimore-cut
ILB Robert Francois-not re-signed
OLB Erik Walden-not re-signed
RB Brandon Saine-cut
DE/NT Ryan Pickett-cut
TE Ryan Taylor-cut
C Evan Dietrich-Smith
CB Sam Shields
TE Tom Crabtree
Free Agents:
DE Richard Seymour (OAK)/2 yrs.
Normally, TT doesn't sign free agents, however, with Worthy starting the year on the PUP list and possibly missing the entire season, TT has literally no choice but to go out and sign a replacement for him (kinda like with Benson last year after Saine went down with a season-ending injury). He nabs the perfect one, in former Patriots great Richard Seymour. He's the perfect fit in the 3-4, being an excellent 5-tech, and at age 33 and with still some gas left in the tank, TT signs him for relatively cheap.
QB Matt Moore (MIA)/2 yrs.
Needing a viable backup QB in case the unthinkable happens (I think you all know what I'm talking about), and able to get one at an affordable price, with plenty of cap $$$ to spare (they would probably be below the 2013 salary cap floor, or close to it after all these releases/retirings/trades, in which case they'd be required to sign a FA, anyway, just like with Woodson in 2006), the Packers nab former Dolphins backup QB Matt Moore, who's become expendable in Miami with the emergence of Ryan Tannehill. The Packers now have their needed security blanket at QB and can focus on filling the rest of their needs through the draft.
In a blockbuster move, after getting off the phone with several different clubs, TT has not only negotiated, but finalized a monumental pre-DD trade involving 4 different teams (NOTE: this is also done before the start of free agency in March, for reasons listed below)...
TRADE W/NYJ: WR GREG JENNINGS (T&t) TO NYJ FOR CB DARRELLE REVIS AND QB MARK SANCHEZ
After trading Tramon Williams and D.J. Williams to Tampa (also done PRIOR to DD), the Packers acquire his replacement: shutdown corner Darrelle Revis, who's been long linked to the Packers, and an assortment of other teams, in the offseason. After months of speculation, new Jets GM John Idzik finally pulls the trigger on this deal, finding the perfect suitor for Revis Island: Packers WR Greg Jennings, who the Packers have also been trying to move and at least get something for him. In a deal that benefits both teams, the Jets get that true #1 receiver they've been looking for and it allows them to dump Sanchez' high salary, clearing up tons of cap space for them in the process (which they've been desperately trying to do all offseason) while they look to potentially draft his replacement. The Packers, meanwhile, get that true #1 lockdown corner they've been itching for (and arguably the best one in the game), and gives them the leverage needed to make the next deal...
After acquiring Mark Sanchez from the Jets, in which Sanchez agrees to restructure his contract as part of the deal (but not until AFTER being dealt again by GB to KC as part of the big 4-way trade; Sanchez was told in advance he'd be involved in a 4-way trade to KC and would have to restructure there), Sanchez is then traded to Kansas City along with the 26th overall pick and RB James Starks for the #1 overall pick, contractual rights to WR Dwayne Bowe (set to become a free agent since KC apparently doesn't have enough cap space to re-sign him) and their 4th round pick. While seeming like a bit of a stretch (at least for KC), this deal actually benefits both teams in that KC gets their #1 QB (and a change of scenery for Sanchez, which they feel could benefit him in the long run, enough to give up the chance to select a once-in-a-lifetime defensive player to a team that needs it, which they don't necessarily need, anyway, since all of their problems are on offense) and a nice backup RB to compliment Jamaal Charles (Peyton Hillis is a FA) while still having a 1st round pick (albeit a late 1st rounder), while the Packers, who are desperate and eager to shore up their defense, get the #1 overall pick and thus, the chance to draft Star Lotulelei, the best defensive player in the whole draft, who also happens to fill a huge need at DL (though lessened a bit after signing Richard Seymour as a FA), and an additional 4th round pick. They also get the negotiating rights to impending FA WR Dwayne Bowe, and potentially replace Greg Jennings, who was T&Ted to the Jets for Revis.
DeAngelo Williams has been linked to GB for some time dating back to last year, and those rumors finally come to fruition as he is traded, along with Carolina's 2nd round pick (43rd overall), to the Packers for RB Alex Green and the contractual rights to WR Dwayne Bowe that they received from the Chiefs as part of the blockbuster 4-way deal. The Panthers finally get a solid #2 receiver to complement Steve Smith (once they finalize a deal with Bowe, anyway), which they've been lacking for years, without having to use a draft pick on one, and a nice 3rd string RB behind Jonathan Stewart and Mike Tolbert, their new #1 and #2 backs, respectively, while dumping DeAngelo's $8 mil salary in the process. The Panthers are looking to dump salary, and DeAngelo has, among others, been rumored to be a cap casualty in the summer. This spares them the need to release him to Free Agency as a team that needs a true #1 back comes calling. The Packers, OTOH, having over $40 mil in cap space after cutting/trading Ryan Pickett, Greg Jennings, and A.J. Hawk, among others, and veterans Charles Woodson, Jeff Saturday and Donald Driver retiring, have the wiggle room to tack on his big salary and get a true #1 back in the process, who gets the added benefit of finally getting to play for a SB contender while still having some gas left at age 30. So, in addition to addressing the defense in a huge way, the Packers have also dramatically improved their running game with the plethora of trades between the 4 clubs, while getting an extra pick to address other needs. All 4 clubs benefit from the players/picks acquired in these trades in some way, now, onto DD...
1. Star Lotulelei, NT/DT/DE, Utah
6'4" 325 lbs.
In a deal of monumental proportions (and perhaps that's an understatement), the Packers somehow, someway, manage to come away with the #1 overall pick and draft Star Lotulelei, not only the best defensive player in this year's draft, but one of the best defensive players to enter the draft in years. This guy has Haloti Ngata written all over him. He is a run-stuffing machine (which is sorely needed in a division with AP, Matt Forte and Michael Bush) and an absolute terror along the defensive line, and in recent years, has developed pass-rushing ability to accomodate his other immense talents (5 sacks last year at UoU). With B.J. Raji and Richard Seymour playing across from him, the Packers DL has gone from one of the smallest to one of the meanest in the NFL (if not THE meanest) in a matter of weeks/months. B.J. Raji finally gets some much-needed help as well, on both sides, and could possibly revert back to his 2010 numbers playing between Star and Seymour, who's eager to prove he still has something left and wants one more crack at a SB. He can also be reverted to NT should Raji miss any more time with a bad ankle, another added benefit.
**DD TRADE W/MIAMI: Packers trade TE Jermichael Finley, their 2014 1st round pick and 2013 2nd round pick from the Bucs (#44) to the Dolphins for their 2013 1st rounder (#12), 3rd (#84) and 7th (#203) round picks.
12. FS Kenny Vaccaro, Texas
6'1" 218 lbs.
After the mega-deal in getting the #1 overall pick and Star, and after acquiring star CB Darrelle Revis from the Jets, TT manages to pull the plug on another blockbuster trade (DD trade this time) and gets yet another huge toy on defense. With Finley being too much of a headcase in the media, and too expensive, with only 1 more year of service in GB, at best, and with a gaping hole at safety left behind following Woodson's retirement, TT makes a blockbuster DD trade with Miami, giving up their 2014 1st round pick, the 2nd round pick acquired from the Jets in the Jennings T&T, and TE Jermichael Finley for their 12th overall pick and a slew of other draft picks. In doing so, TT drafts the best safety in this class (who is extremely unlikely to fall to their late 1st round pick at #26), while also freeing up $8 mil in cap space in the process. Kenny Vaccaro is excellent in both man and zone coverage, and has still managed to hold his own despite being the only bright spot on an otherwise suspect Longhorns secondary. He also has the size and strength that TT likes in his Safeties, and can really lay the wood whenever the opportunity presents itself. Morgan Burnett can now also move to his natural SS position. In acquiring Vaccaro, Revis and a new DC, the Packers secondary just got much, much better for years to come, and nastier. Revis-Burnett-Vaccaro-Shields/Hayward forms one of, if not the best secondary in the NFL, which is now also playing behind quite possibly the best DL in the NFL with Star, Raji and Seymour in the trenches.
45. WR Terrance Williams, Baylor
6'2" 205 lbs.
The Packers waste very little time getting a replacement for Greg Jennings, getting Baylor's Terrance Williams with the 2nd round pick acquired from the Panthers. Terrance Williams leads the NCAA in receiving yards in 2012 with 1,833, and at 6'2" adds some much-needed size to the Packers already deep receiving core. In addition to having great hands and rarely missing catches (which is sometimes the bane of our offense), he is a deep threat and seemingly has that ability to blow the top off of defenses much like Torrey Smith, Anquan Boldin and Jacoby Jones in Baltimore (we all saw how well that worked out for them in the SB, if only WE had that when we played San Fran). The Packers also get a true #1/2 receiver to accomodate Jordy, and gives them some needed depth should Jordy's hamstring continue to be an issue for them next year (fact is they would be without a true starting wideout if Jordy were to get hurt again next season with Jennings now gone). With Jordy, Williams, Cobb and Jones, the Packers continue to maintain one of, if not the deepest receiving core in the NFL.
**TRADE W/ST LOUIS (late 2nd [57], early 3rd from Bucs [75], 4th [121], and 7th [218] for mid 2nd [48] and mid 3rd [80])
48. TE Tyler Eifert, Notre Dame
6'6" 255 lbs.
TT sees Tyler Eifert sliding into the middle of the 2nd round and, needing to draft a replacement for the (dearly?) departed Finley (for cap and, more or less, PR reasons), seizes the opportunity by trading up into the middle of the 2nd round and taking arguably the best TE in the draft. Eifert has the ability to extend play and high point the ball like no other in his class, and has finished 2nd in the NCAA in receiving yards amongst TEs despite not having a star QB to lob him the ball. His size and pass catching ability (guy catches everything thrown his way) makes him an immediate mismatch amongst DBs. Guy was literally uncoverable with Everett Golson throwing him the ball at ND, imagine him getting passes from arguably the best QB in the game.
80. DE/OLB Tank Carradine, FSU
6'5" 265 lbs.
Needing depth at the OLB position, TT sees an amazing pass rusher sliding into the 3rd round and pounces on the opportunity. Tank Carradine, while Raw, has great measurables and a dominating force at FSU, playing alongside Bjorn Werner. He was long projected to be a 1st-2nd round talent before his injury problems, and has slid as a result. The Packers pick him up here, getting an absolute steal at this point in the draft, and get a monster pass rush to accompany their monster DL and secondary. He's very fast coming off the edge and an absolute monster when paired with a fierce pass rusher opposite him, getting 11 sacks last year at FSU. This also gives the Packers plenty of scheme versatility, allowing them to occasionally use a 4-3 front on certain downs (and to help stop the likes of AP and Kaep on rushing downs) with Perry and Carradine rushing along the edge, allowing Matthews to drop back and cover TEs, which he is also useful for. This also keeps Clay fresh, by either relieving him on 3rd down on occassion (much like Seattle's 1-2 punch of Chris Clemons and Bruce Irvin with Irvin coming in off the bench 3rd downs) or as a temporary fill-in when he is fatigued towards the middle of games, allowing him to come back in well-rested (hey, this worked out great for "Da Bears" in their 1st game against us this year, subbing in Shea McClellin for an entire drive or so, which allowed Julius Peppers to come back into the game fresh, and he sacked Rodgers the very next play and forced us to try that fake FG, imagine Carradine in Shea's place with Matthews getting re-energized on the sideline *drool*). It also provides great depth should either Matthews or Perry go down with an injury. Plus, Nick Perry can finally start playing some snaps with his hand in the dirt like he's always wanted to coming into last year's draft, another added benefit. We could also run 5 linebacker sets, with Perry on one side and Matthews standing beside Tank on the other, with 3 deep safeties, ahh the possibilities are endless with this pick.
84. C/OG Travis Frederick, Wisconsin
6'4" 338 lbs.
With Frederick still on the board, TT fills the void at C left behind following the retirement of Jeff Saturday, taking the bulking C/OG from Wisconsin. He is great at pass protection, and even better in run blocking, and provides our OL with that much-needed muscle. Our OL gets a big boost with both Sherrod and Bulaga coming back next year) as a guy with 1st round talent (and simultaneously fills a need) falls all the way to the bottom of the 3rd.
90. TE Travis Kelce, Cincinnati
6'6" 260 lbs.
TT nabs another explosive TE to pair with Tyler Eifert. The guy is an immediate mismatch with virtually any DB due to his size and, much like Eifert, is super fast, making a ton of YAC, and catches everything thrown his way. He also has great blocking ability, opening up the pass and running game even more. With Kelce and Eifert, MM gets a dangerous 2 TE set to work with (seriously, I think that combo could be the next Gronk/Hernandez), and helps neutralize a lot of the 2 deep safety sets he was faced with last year in the process. With not one, but 2 TEs that are already upgrades over Finley, MM has got to be creaming himself at this point in the draft, and we've still got 4 more rounds to go.
98. ILB Kevin Reddick, UNC
6'3" 240 lbs.
TT finally drafts A.J. Hawk's replacement. Reddick gives the Pack that big-bodied, physical ILB that the 49ers like to punish offenses with, thus giving them another bit of that "nastiness" that is sorely lacking in GB's defense. He's also good in coverage and an effective blitzer to boot. This completes their linebacking core and GB's defense is pretty much set for the future.
121. DT/NT Kwame Geathers, Georgia
6'6" 355 lbs.
TT finally nabs a backup NT as Kwame Geathers slides into the bottom of the 3rd round. The guy is a space-eating, run-stuffing specimen (sorely needed in the NFC North), and gives Raji some much-needed relief. He also fills Ryan Pickett's spot at backup NT, and with his age, would probably be an instant upgrade as well.
154. WR Marcus Davis, Virginia Tech
6'4" 218 lbs.
DD's replacement. Marcus Davis' size and frame makes him a great red zone target for Aaron Rodgers. And like Eifert, he's better than his college stats indicate, racking up 985 yards in his senior year despite no star QB.
**TRADE W/WASHINGTON (6th [185] and MIA 7th [203] for 5th [157])
157. RB Marcus Lattimore, South Carolina
6'0" 232 lbs.
With extra picks to spare and seeing a monster of an opportunity in front of him, TT trades back into the bottom of the 5th round with Washington (who have their star RB) and takes a gamble on Marcus Lattimore. Packers now get a monster 1-2 RB punch with DeAngelo and Lattimore (good luck trying to stop that rushing attack if Lattimore's healthy and back to anything remotely resembling his pre-injury form, DCs.) Match made in heaven for the highly-talented youngin, not only *FINALLY* being drafted after that heart-breaking (and outright disgusting) injury that ended his junior season at SC, but being drafted by a team with a chance to compete for a SB (he can also limit DeAngelo's carries somewhat; he will be 30 coming into next year, after all). You're welcome.
217. K Dustin Hopkins, FSU
6'2", 190 lbs.
With an abundance in picks, TT uses one of his many extra picks to draft a K to compete with Mason for the starting gig in training camp.

P: Tim Masthay

**NOTE: IF Worthy returns next year (and it seems like a big "if" at this point), either C.J. Wilson or Mike Daniels is cut.
QB B.J. Coleman, WR Jeremy Ross, RT Andrew Datko, LG Greg Van Rotten, C Garth Gerhart, CB James Mixon, S Chaz Powell and NT Jordan Miller delegated to PS.
**OCC: Yeah, I know, guys, highly unlikely KC would give up the top pick for Sanchez even if they would also be getting our 1st rounder (a late 1st rounder) and James Starks in the process, but then again, the Broncos were able to get 2 1st rounders (one of which was an early 1st), a 3rd rounder and Kyle Orton for Jay Cutler and a 5th, so you never know.
Plus, maybe they'd feel that, with a change of scenery, he could be a productive QB for them, rather than take a chance on a rookie QB, who knows? But that's quite a "Super Soldier" of a mock draft/roster I put together, isn't it?

Home Made Targets
I live in the country and far from any archery shop....Walmarts the closest thing. Was wondering if anyone made targets on there own that hold up well to broadheads? I have a small ranch and would like to set up several targets at different distances, but I have to keep the costs in mind as well.
Well Let me be the first one to say I am not sure if the one I made would stand up to broadheads real well at all but it works real nice for field points. I went and bought some pink foam insulation (styrofoam kind) real thinck stuff. I then cut it up into equal sections and compressed them together with wood and threaded rod. I shoot it in my basement and have had it a while. the only thing is when you shoot your arrows into it sometimes you get a pink film on your arrows, but it comes right offTarget: Hoyt ProElite XT3000 C2, 60# 30", CBE Quad Lite, CBE 3x .019, Trophy Taker, Easton Fatboy 400's(indoor) lightspeed 400 (outdoor)
Hunting: 2009 Alphamax35 (Blacked out) 70#, 29", HHA Slider, Bisquit, Easton ACC 3-60, Rage 100 gr. 2 blade
To be honest with you I've shot a lot of targets and NONE ever stand up well to broadhead usage. I would suggest getting or building a good fieldpoint target and then buying one of those very cheap Walmart broadhead targets, shoot it for the season and then toss it and buy a new one next year.
Here are some other ideas for targets as well:
- Get a tightley woven burlap sack and stuff it full of old clothes, blankets, plastic bags... whatever, make sure it is stuffed well. Works great
- Use the Cardboard / insualation / carpet and layer it on top of itself, then put 1 board on top and 1 board on the bottom, run a threaded rod through the ends of both of the boards and crank the sucker down. you can also use ratchet straps but they don't work as well.
if u could find one a stryafoam block works great we stole a couple 5x5ft blocks about 10 years ago and they re still in great shape

I also live in the country and I use a sand bank to check broadhead flight. I am thinking about designing a box to hold sifted sand and able to hold a target(paper). As far as field points I use old plastic grain bags and stuff them with old Wally World shopping bags.

Home made targets
We have tried everything over the past 30 years to construct targets. Nothing except some type of foam seems to work well for broadheads. Some of our clubs nave been using insulating board cut into 16 inch strips and stacked. It works good but make sure you get the type that dosen't have the tar on the back. There is a place in N.C. that is making targets from the material used to wrap furniture before shipping. It is about 1/8 inch thick. We have replaced our entire range with the stuff. Best I've ever seen. You could probably shoot broadheads into it, but we don't. Our targets are 50 x 50 and wrapped in shrink wrap. They look like the Black Hole targets but are much larger. Seem to last forever.

Sand stops broadheads really well only getting to stand upright is the trick.
I use blocks of styrofoam. You can also take your old 3d's and cut one up for plugs and use the spray insulation foam to glue them in with. A few thoughts that I have had success with. Holy Smokes

If anyone has the ook by Chuck Adams, The Complete Book of Bowhunting, it apperently has description of a sand target the works very well and keeps out the rain and the cats. I dont have the book, but I if anyone does, it would be great to see a picture of what he built. It apperently took 75 pounds of play sand, that is not sharp and does not dull broadheads, and works well. Anybody have that book?

State Lawmaker Hit By Car And Killed
11/30/12 12:04PM By Melody Bodette
State Representative Greg Clark was killed in an accident on US Route 7 in Waltham Friday morning.
Clark represented a district made up of the towns of Addison, Ferrisburgh, Panton, Waltham and Vergennes. He was a Republican, and was re-elected this month to a fifth term.
When the legislature is not in session, Clark taught social studies at Mount Abraham Union High School.
He served the district along with Representative Diane Lanpher.
She says just yesterday the two were meeting with retired Addison County teachers when Clark joked with the group that he was looking forward to joining their ranks. Lanpher says it was that kind of humor that Clark will be remembered for.
"He was a good guy, he was a funny man," Lanpher says. "Greg shares a warmth within the community of being a really, really funny guy."
Lanpher says whenever he spoke on the House floor, Clark was always on topic, but always gave the room a laugh.
Lanpher is a Democrat and said that didn't stand in the way of their friendship.
"We often didn't have the same view of particular policies, but even if we didn't have the same vote, we would compliment each other on a job well done," Lanpher says.
Clark also formerly served as city councilor and deputy mayor of Vergennes.
House Speaker Shap Smith and Senate President John Campbell released statements praising Clark's dedication to the state.
Governor Peter Shumlin said he was deeply saddened to hear of Clark's death and that his heart goes out to Clark's family.

Ricin suspect: Elvis impersonator, conspiracy theorist
(NEWSER) – The Mississippi man accused of sending ricinto President Obama and a Republican senator is an impersonator of some 70 celebrities with a colorful onlinepresence and a penchant for conspiracy theories, reports the Clarion-Ledger in a look at Paul Kevin Curtis, who was arrested yesterday. Curtis, who apparently has a three-octave range, offers a warning on his Facebook that your friends' body parts are at risk of harvesting for the black market. He also says he's wrapped up in a war on the mafia and accuses authorities of relentless attacks. "They burned down my home, killed my dogs, my cat, my rabbit, blew up my 1966 Plymouth Valent," he posted.

West Valley City • The Utah Grizzlies have completed a seven-player trade with the San Francisco Bulls, director of hockey operations and coach Kevin Colley announced Tuesday.
The Grizzlies acquired rookie forwards Jordan Clendenning, Sebastien Trudeau and Jonathan Lessard as well as rookie defenseman Clay Carlson.
Utah sent defenseman Mark Isherwood and forward Kory Falite to the Bulls. In addition, the Montreal Canadiens reassigned forward Ian Schultz, who has been playing for the Grizzlies, to San Francisco.
The ECHL trade deadline is Thursday at 1 p.m.
"We've had success integrating younger players into our program over the years and are aiming to finish the season strong," Colley said. "We haven't had a full team since the first week in November due to injuries, but we've hung in there and found a way to stay competitive under very trying circumstances."
After two deadline deals last year, Utah finished 8-3-0-1 and was the hottest team in the Western Conference entering the playoffs.
Carlson, 21, had five goals and 15 assists in 40 games with San Francisco and Gwinnett this year.
"Cody will contribute on the power-play and is solid in his own end," Colley said.
Clendenning, 26, had four goals and 15 assists in 56 games for the Bulls. He also had 110 penalty minutes. He played four years of college hockey and won two national championships at the University of New Brunswick.
"I've had my eye on Jordan all year, and I know he was a favorite in San Francisco," Colley said.
Trudeau and Lessard have been in San Francisco since January.
Trudeau, 21, had one goal and four assists in 20 games. He also played 35 games with Bloomington of the CHL, where he had 12 goals and 14 assists. Lessard, 22, had one goal and four assists in 23 games with San Francisco.
"Both Trudeau and Lessard bring skill and will have a chance right now to use it in our lineup," Colley said.
The Grizzlies return home Wednesday against Gwinnett at the Maverik Center. A three-game weekend series against Colorado begins Friday night.

hello, i have a quastion about if anyone ever should be using mitm on me.. and if im "safe" from this ever happening..
**i have not heard this as a method of cracking wpa so iguess im safe, althou i would like to know how come i am safe fro mthis happening?
could anyone get internet access from my AP by using mitm?
(note that i say; get internet access, not get my key)
how i think in theory step by step is
1, mitm deauth me, making me connect to his fake ap
2, i send request to this fakeap that i want to log in -with ofc my passkey(generating the right accepted packet)
3, mitm sends this info to my ap, mitm gets the response from my ap(instead of me)
4, sends info to me
5, i have "logged" into fakeap using my geniune handshake info , only the mitm has spoofed him as me using my info i send to fake ap wich i think is my real one
while this fake ap still runs - allowing me to be connected to internet thrue his connection to my ap
im a propper good newb but i dont see why this should not work?
and i dont really know anything about the wpa handshake yet, but if there should be something in the encrypted part in the handshake that will be diffrent?
cant this part be "copied" from just letting me reconnect to my AP and copying that ?

6 Foods to Make You Feel Great—Fast
Too tired to hit the gym? Sick of PMS? Have we got a snack for you!
-Jackie Newgent
If you're stressed and looking for food to comfort you, step away from the ice cream. Indulging in high-fat treats will make you feel good for a few minutes, but then reality hits. Now you're still stressed and you've got something else to worry about: all those calories you just inhaled. Who needs that? With the help of Patricia Bannan, MS, RD, author of the upcoming Eat Right When Time Is Tight (NorLightsPress, 2010), we've uncovered six fast fixes to help you deal with your stress without going to the next jeans size.
Have a hot date tonight?
Feel slimmed down superfast by drinking a cup of hot or iced herbal tea. Bannan suggests that herbs like peppermint, spearmint, and chamomile may lessen the gas in your body so you'll feel svelte (not to mention more confident).
Frazzled at work?
Calm your nerves by nibbling on a handful of pistachios. Research finds that eating pistachios may reduce the body's response to the stressors of everyday life by reducing blood pressure. What's more, 30 pistachios are only about 100 calories—and that's at least 200 fewer calories than any snack in the vending machine!

Rated 2.7 out of 5 by 7 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by leea Acted on looks Sure do wish i read the reviews before i spent the money, no wonder its cheap to buy. September 7, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by marigold disappointed We purchased and installed the flooring and were pleased at first until we began to notice white marks on the floor. After closer inspection we discovered the flooring is only a thin coating that is easily removed by a dropped cup, moving a chair and other incidents. Our table and chairs have protections to avoid this type of problem. So this was even more upsetting to us. It sure was a very big disappointment. August 18, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by JimC Do not spend your money on this Type of floor The floor looked good when installed, but that is when it ended. The surface is too soft, the are spots showing up all the time. There are just the two of us living in the house, we take off our shoes when we come in. We have rugs at all the doors, still pealing, denting holes show up. We were told to use only a special cleaner which we have, but it does not take off the marks that does appear. We have contacted customer support, maybe they will replace the floor, we will see, and will it be the same tile? May 22, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Heather Complete disappointment Although this tile is beautiful at first glance, it is by far a major disappointment. It s covered in chips, which show the white underneath. And it doesn't take much to chip; a set of keys, a magnet, a knife.. all things you expect to hit the floor from time to time. Once a week we are coloring in chips that just seem to appear. I couldn't recommend this product at all and suspect we will need to replace it much sooner than we ever would have planned. January 30, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Mickey 56 Like the look of it. But was disappointed. About 3 years ago we put this tile in our 15x20 kitchen. I loved the look of it. I have a large wooden leg dining table with sliders on the bottom of each leg. I also have two stools at the bar with protective slides on the bottom of each leg. Over time even with the sliders, the surface of the tile started being scratched, to show the white underneath. When I saw this was happening, I bought new protective things to try on each leg, but the same thing happened. Needless to say I was very disappointed. There is really nothing you can do. So buyer beware. If you have a chair or table on it, it will scratch the surface over time. If I had known this, I would not have bought it. September 26, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Donsal We love it !!!! We have a house that is on peer and beam, and have tried 4 different floors without success(from tile to laminate). We also have kids, grandkids, dogs and cats and this has been the easiest floor to keep clean and is very durable.We chose not to use the grout lines due to it always crumbling with previous floor application, and it looks wonderful.We are saving now to buy The Canyon shadowing for 2 more rooms. October 30, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by kickingit great flooring Installed this tile with a grout line between tiles. Goods great! I will use this again. September 13, 2011

'There were a number of things that were worth cheering about from the Sabres' fan perspective. For one, the Sabres played an aggressive, defensively consistent game that dictated the pace of the contest. Not only that, but Daniel Briere, the former Phoenix Coyote, scored both Buffalo goals and nearly notched a third.'

Fluid is not an official name for this skin, although it very well can be. I was recently inspired to continue developing this skin by djh's, Xephyr skin. Coincidently, djh and I were both impressed by Smokeheads work on Clearity.
This is not a skin "yet", simply my vision of what would make a good skin. I started to work on these, soon after Clearity was released, but many factor kept me from finishing it. My box died, my workload increased and the biggest factor of all, my coding skills are far too primitive.
My box is now up and running and I am back in love with XBMC. So here is what I expect to accomplish.
- Will likely only be developed for widescreen displays (16:9) or at least initially.
- It should feature a unique and simple navigation scheme
- It will require your media cover art to be of fair resolution
Thanks once again to djh and all who participate in this thread.

The Languan alphabet was created by Zach McVay during the summer of 2004 and was originally based on how the italicized Latin alphabet looks when read upside-down. The alphabet was used a great deal in writing various conlangs created by Zach, and has evolved a great deal from its original form. It is now used to decoratively write the Languan language (based on Castillian Spanish). It is also used in the writing of poems. Other instances, such as the writing of books, use a form of the Latin Alphabet, created in January 2005.
Languan - a euroclone conlang invented by Zach Mcvay
in the autumn of 2004
Marian - an alien language created by a friend of Zach's
Sappharian - a euroclone language invented in the winter of 2004, based on a simplified form of Languan.

The spiritual leadership of Muslims will come Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) while he is sitting at home
Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated August 19th, 2012
Watch Online on HarunYahya.Tv
ADNAN OKTAR: "Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will come after such a big strife of what is forbidden is regarded as lawful." Islam would then be in such a strange state that the commands of the Qur'an would be inverted. That is also what the Bediuzzaman says. He says that Hazrat Mahdi will appear only after this. "The succession.." That is the spiritual leadership of the whole Islamic world, ".. will come to him while he is sitting at home." He is always at home, he is at his house all the time. The succession of Hazrat Mahdi will be established while he is at his home. Note that everything happens while he is at home, the pledges of allegiance will be given while he is at home, his discourses take place at his house. The accounts state that he will rule the world from his coach. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is very humble, yet they do not make him repeat anything he says, when he orders something it is all done. For instance he says, let us say, if people are poor in Iraq, he tells all the Muslims to ameliorate the place and that is all done. The whole matter would be solved with a single word and things never get prolonged. I mean there will be no bureaucratic obstacles and the task will be done directly. "The succession, the leadership of the Muslims, will come to him while he is sitting at home and he will be the most auspicious individual on earth during his time." (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi'Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 37) So the people will know him as the most auspicious individual and will love him the most in the world, in the whole world.

Child Abuse in America
Children are suffering from a hidden epidemic of child abuse and neglect. Every year more than 3 million reports of child abuse are made in the United States involving more than 6 million children (a report can include multiple children). The United States has one of the worst records among industrialized nations – losing on average between four and seven children every day to child abuse and neglect. 1, 2
General Statistics
- A report of child abuse is made every ten seconds
- More than four children die every day as a result of child abuse.1
- It is estimated that between 50-60% of child fatalities due to maltreatment are not recorded as such on death certificates. 3
- Approximately 70% of children that die from abuse are under the age of 4. 1
- More than 90% of juvenile sexual abuse victims know their perpetrator in some way. 4
- Child abuse occurs at every socioeconomic level, across ethnic and cultural lines, within all religions and at all levels of education.
- About 30% of abused and neglected children will later abuse their own children, continuing the horrible cycle of abuse. 5
- In at least one study, about 80% of 21 year olds that were abused as children met criteria for at least one psychological disorder. 13
- The estimated annual cost of child abuse and neglect in the United States for 2008 is $124 billion. 6

Child Abuse Consequences
- Abused children are 25% more likely to experience teen pregnancy. 5
- Abused teens are more likely to engage in sexual risk taking, putting them at greater risk for STDs. 5

Child Abuse & Substance Abuse
- One-third to two-thirds of child maltreatment cases involve substance use to some degree. 11
- In one study, children whose parents abuse alcohol and other drugs were three times more likely to be abused and more than four times more likely to be neglected than children from non-abusing families. 11
- As many as two-thirds of the people in treatment for drug abuse reported being abused or neglected as children. 9
- More than a third of adolescents with a report of abuse or neglect will have a substance use disorder before their 18th birthday, three times as likely as those without a report of abuse or neglect.12

Big 12 Holds Next Two SlotsLouisiana State University and the University of Alabama hold the top two positions in the initial BCS Standings for 2011. Their positioning only heightens the anticipation for their key SEC showdown on Nov. 5. Oklahoma, which remains number one in the USA Today Coaches Poll, checks in at No. 3, with Oklahoma State at No. 4 - the Sooners and Cowboys meet on Dec. 3 in their annual "Bedlam" game, which will be played in Stillwater this year. Boise State is rated No. 5 in the BCS Standings. The top two teams in the final BCS standings play in the Allstate BCS National Championship game in New Orleans this year (Monday, Jan. 9). "The release of the first BCS Standings is always an exciting time in college football, although history suggests that the first standings and final standings don't always have much in common," said BCS Executive Director Bill Hancock. Everyone loves to talk about our standings and that's one reason why college football's regular season is so exciting. For a team to qualify for a bowl game or the National Championship Game this year, every game is going to count."The top eight teams in the standings are all undefeated - matching the top eight in the AP Poll, though not in the same order.Wisconsin is the highest-ranked Big Ten team, checking in at No. 6 overall, followed by the ACC's surprising Clemson Tigers, who had a strong of three straight wins over ranked teams earlier this year. Stanford is rated at No. 8, the top slot for the Pac-12. Arkansas is the highest-rated of the one-loss schools at No. 9, giving the SEC its third top-10 school - the Razorbacks lone defeat was to second-ranked Alabama. Oregon rounds out the top-10 with its only loss coming at the hands of No. 1 LSU, making the SEC the only conference with victories over top-10 teams to its credit.Other undefeated teams in the initial standings are No. 11 Kansas State and No. 19 Houston. The other SEC schools in the ratings are No. 14 South Carolina, which found out today that it lost star running back Marcus Lattimore for the season to a knee injury, and No. 20 Auburn, the defending national champs.Overall, the SEC has five teams in the top 25 (all in the top 20), second only to the Big Ten, which has six Top-25 teams. The Big 12 also has five teams ranked, while the ACC has four top-25 programs and the Pac-12 has three. Boise State (Mountain West) and Houston (Conference USA) are the only schools representing non-automatic qualifying conferences.

Other Drugs for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in Children
In recent years, new drugs that target specific parts of cancer cells have been developed. These drugs work differently from standard chemotherapy drugs. They sometimes work when chemo drugs don't, and they often have different (and less severe) side effects. Some of these drugs might be useful in certain cases of childhood non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
Monoclonal antibodies
Antibodies are proteins normally made by the body's immune system to help fight infections. Man-made versions, called monoclonal antibodies, can be designed to attack a specific target, such as a substance on the surface of lymphoma cells.
Several monoclonal antibodies are now being used to treat lymphoma in adults. Some of these are now being studied for use in children as well.
Rituximab (Rituxan): This antibody attaches to a substance called CD20 on the surface of some types of lymphoma cells. This attachment seems to cause the lymphoma cell to die. Rituximab is being studied for use along with chemotherapy. The treatments are given as intravenous (IV) infusions in the doctor's office or clinic.
Common side effects are usually mild but can include chills, fever, nausea, rashes, fatigue, and headaches during or after the infusion. Even if these symptoms occur with the first rituximab infusion, it is unusual for them to recur with later doses. Rituximab can also increase a person's risk of some types of infections.
Brentuximab vedotin (Adcetris): This is an anti-CD30 antibody attached to a chemotherapy drug. Some lymphoma cells have the CD30 molecule on their surface. The antibody acts like a homing signal, bringing the chemo drug to the lymphoma cells, where it enters the cells and causes them to die when they try to divide into new cells.
Brentuximab can be used to treat anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) that has come back after other treatments. So far it has been used mainly in adults, but it is now being studied in children as well. It is given as an infusion into a vein (IV) every 3 weeks.
Common side effects include nerve damage (neuropathy), low blood counts, fatigue, fever, nausea and vomiting, infections, diarrhea, and cough.
Other new drugs
Other drugs that target parts of lymphoma cells are now being studied for use in children as well.
For example, the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene is often abnormal in ALCL. Crizotinib (Xalkori) is a newer drug that targets cells with an abnormal ALK gene. In early studies, this drug has shown very promising results in children with ALCL that is no longer responding to other treatments. Doctors are now studying the use of this drug along with chemotherapy in treating ALCL.

Graham, Bundy fire away in Tornados loss to Young HarrisOctober 19, 2011
Brevard falls to Mountain Lions on Wednesday, 2-0
Brevard, N.C. - Jamie Bundy and Lizzie Graham combined for seven shots on goal, but second half scores by Emily Villas and Haley Holderfield put the visiting Young Harris Mountain Lions in the lead as the Tornados fell on Wednesday afternoon on the BC Soccer Field, 2-0.
Graham and Bundy challenged Young Harris (9-3-1) goalkeeper Kelsey Cunningham early, recording three shots in the first 20 minutes. However, Villas and Whitney Thomas kept pace against BC (2-12) goalkeeper Brittany Webster as the Mountain Lions outshot the Tornados 10-7 in the first half, but the score remained 0-0 as the teams headed into the halftime break.
An early offering by Bailey Varley was blocked in the Young Harris goal box in the beginning of the second half and YHC took advantage, moving downfield as Villas, Mika Lopes and Devin Waldron all had shots turned away by Crissy Moran before Villas found a gap in the BC defense at the 62:58 mark off the pass from Lopes, putting it in the bottom left corner to put the guests up 1-0.
Holderfield added to the lead at the 74:53 mark, receiving the through ball from Villas past a diving Moran and tapped the ball into the back of the net to give Young Harris the 2-0 lead.
The Tornados battled back late in the final period as Bundy and Graham had three opportunities to put Brevard on the scoreboard, challenging Gabby Smith in the net, but Smith proved up to the task in deflecting all three attempts to keep the shutout intact.
Brevard returns to the road this weekend as they travel to Newberry, S.C. on Saturday, October 22nd, as they take on Newberry College in SAC competition. Kickoff between the Tornados and the Wolves is set for 2 p.m.

Rascal Flatts heading for number one on Country Album Chart
Listen to Rascal Flatts on iHeartRadio
Rascal Flatts' latest album, Rewind, will likely be a chart topper.
According to Billboard, industry analysts predict that the group's ninth studio album will sell 60,000 copies in its first week in stores.
If the numbers hold true, it will propel the album to the number one spot on the Top Country Albums chart. It would be the eighth time the group has taken the top spot.
Lead singer Gary LeVox says having another chart topping debut "would be nice." He adds that after nine albums "it's just so nice to know" that fans are still responding to the "passion" they put into their music.

Shortly after Timothy Kurek 'came out' as gay, he started snooping around his mother's journal to find out how she really felt about having a homosexual son. He got his answer.
'I'd rather have found out from a doctor that I had terminal cancer than have a gay son,' she'd written.
But unknown to her and the rest of Kurek's friends and family, it was all part of the devout Christian and straight male's yearlong investigation to discover what it's like to live as a young gay man.
The Portland, Ore., man told ABC that he first conceived the project after a friend he knew from karaoke confided in him that she was a lesbian, and that her parents had just disowned her over the revelation.
For years, Kurek had been told that the loving thing to do as a Christian would be to tell his friend that she was an abomination and who should repent immediately if she wanted to go to heaven.
But this time the idea of converting his friend made Kurek ashamed of himself.
'I feel God really kicked me in the gut,' he said. 'She was crying in my arms and instead of being there for her, I was thinking about all the arguments to convert her.'
'It finally clicked,' he said. 'I needed to empathize and understand.'
Straight Christian who believed homosexuality was a sin lives a year as a gay man

Alternate Angel Eye Repair Option
Hey guys, the following is a simple but effective way to replace/repair your Angel Eyes on 2004 745i. My driver side Angel Eyes stopped working for no reason and I thought it was the bulb, but even after upgrading to the Mtec 3's AND taking bumper off AND swapping ENTIRE headlight housing and concluding that it was either a WIRING issue or something I couldnt figure out (after reading more posts and checking other light related components) I just decided to go an alternate route. (I plan to "neaten up" the wiring when I find the appropriate clips, this was pretty much a spontaneous repair so I didnt have all that I needed to "clean it up" but you'll get the gist of it :
CAUTION: I am NOT a mechanic or automotive electrician so AM NOT responsible for any damages to your vehicle if you attempt this repair. You must have all lighting in OFF position before attempting either of these repairs/upgrades!)
1) I first purchased a Dremel hand tool from Lowe's ( $64):
2)Use the included 1 inch grinder wheel to EASILY cut the top of the bracket along the welded connection and down below on both sides of the gapped sections:
3) Now that you have ALL ACCESS to the entire headlight bulbs, changeout your A/E bulbs with your Mtec 3 bulbs and you're finished with the REPLACEMENT part of the upgrade:
Repair Section:
4) Remove (twist) the corner PARK light bulb connector and splice BROWN(-) and BLACK(+) wire (be sure to splice about HALF way of the slacked wiring so you'll have enough to work with)
5) Use one of the 2 wire connectors supplied with your Mtec3 kit (DO NOT CUT OFF YOUR ORIGINAL A/E WIRING THAT PLUGGED INTO YOUR FACTORY BULB!! (Gray and Brown wires with plug on end) I simply pushed my wires back down into the A/E housing.
6) Use a small drill bit and drill a hole in the middle of the A/E bulb housing cover and stick wires thru. Cut off metal ends and strip wire back about 1/8 in.
7)Connect RED wire from A/E wire to BLACK wire on parking bulb wiring. Connect BLACK wire from A/E to BROWN wire on parking bulb wiring. Be sure you have 3 wires total connected at parking bulb side of wiring (wire coming from A/E, wire going to parking bulb, and main wire going to control (or wherever it goes)
8)I used wirenuts because I didnt have good wire connectors but you can see the results:
Here are the final results..I took a pic so you can see that my A/E come on with Park lights. They also work when lights come on in "Auto" position. They DO NOT BLINK because they are NOT connected to SIDE MARKER (which is the mistake a lot of guys make):
Fun Doesnt Come Cheap!

Topic: Roller Coaster Ride (Tumor Fever, Low Albumin Levels, Some Swelling)
Dear Fellow Members,
I hope that everyone is well and that people are on a path to recovery. I have not posted in a while as it certainly has been a roller coaster ride this past month. After deciding we were going to switch chemo regimens, we had a months rest from beginning of July. Went traveling and throughout the three weeks my father had fevers around 38.5 degrees each day at lunch. Phoned docs at home and they said to take SCANOL which they prescribed plenty. Doctors said might be tumor fever, and that is normal?? Anyone have this before?
After returning home we had check-ups and found his Albumin levels to be low and some swelling at feet. I was worried sick as some of the posts say swelling at feet sometimes is nearing end. Stayed in hospital all week and after series of tests, no water retention anywhere, even though stomach is really large. Father has gained about 5 kilos, and after ultrasound / x-ray of chest, no water found anywhere, and even more strange the ultrasound could not find any visible tumors. My father is intrahepatic with mutiple tumors on both lobes (MRI in July showed stable disease), but 2 ultrasounds past week could not detect anything. CA 19-9 still high at 3080, but down from 11,000 in early July when tested on vacation.
We stayed in hospital entire week and had albumin IV done and also first session of AVASTIN / GEMZAR done. Side effects not too bad, just my dad is quite tired and needs more rest. Feet sometimes still a bit swollen, but as soon as he has them up the swellling goes away. Anyone have this experience before?
Just before being discharged ran one more ultrasound and seems to be stable, so docs say no water retention and weight gain probably due to good appetite. Am still worried re the swelling and also just worried in general. This CC sometimes makes you develop paranoia!
Sorry had to rant but needed to get this off my plate. Hope all of you are ok, I see Jeff G is very cheerful as usual and an inspiration to us all! Best wishes to all!

Cure for distracted mind: Stare at a painting
Jennifer Roberts, a professor of the history of art and architecture at Harvard, thinks she has a fairly simple solution to help her American art history students appreciate the act of focusing: They must pick any painting, sculpture, or object made by an American artist and stare at it — for three hours.
"They're usually skeptical at first," she told me, "but afterward, they tell me the process was really astonishing, enabling them to see things, make observations, and develop original ideas about the work that never would have occurred otherwise."
Roberts, herself, has seen the payoffs of strategic patience after her own close analysis of John Singleton Copley's 1765 painting "Boy With a Squirrel" (inset). After spending an hour with the painting, she noticed echoing patterns in the shapes of the boy's ear and the squirrel's ruff. After two hours, she got a different insight: that Copley is likely to have thought about the impact that his work would have on the London art world when he was painting it.

SACRAMENTO -- Gov. Jerry Brown today unveiled the first good-news state budget California has seen in years, which he said boosts investment in education, implements health-care reform and maintains fiscal stability while projecting surpluses for years to come.
The budget pays down debt and creates a $1 billion reserve, the governor said, offering a degree of stability the Golden State hasn't seen in more than a decade.
"This is new; this is a breakthrough," he said, though he acknowledged the state still faces budget risks that include a huge federal deficit, an uncertain economic recovery, federal or court blockage of proposed state budget cuts, and potential increases in health care costs.
The spending blueprint also increases state funding per student in K-12 schools to $2,700 by 2016-17, reversing years of decline. Funding for K-12 and community colleges increases by $2.7 billion next year and by $19 billion by 2016-17, due in large part to the success of Brown's tax measure, Proposition 30, on November's ballot. The budget increases state funding for the University of California and California State University systems by $250 million, a 5 percent hike, and proposes a multi-year funding plan to strengthen those systems while ensuring affordability and reducing student debt.
And the budget implements federal-health care reforms, expanding coverage by simplifying Medi-Cal eligibility and extending coverage to childless adults and uninsured parents. The governor's proposed budget projects an $851 million operating surplus in 2013-2014; a $47 million surplus in 2014-15; $414 million in 2015-16; and $994 million in 2016-17.
That's a far cry from the outlook just two years ago, when the state was projecting deficits of $19.2 billion in the current budget year, $17.4 billion in 2013-14 and $21.5 billion in 2014-15.
"The boom and bust in our state's budget over the last decade is something we should not repeat," the governor's budget summary concludes. "Instead, the state must live within its means, pay down debt, and build up a 'rainy day' fund -- all to ensure a stable government that earns the respect of the citizens that pay for it."
Brown said the future of California's K-12 education system depends on giving more funding to schools that face disproportionate challenges, such as poverty or high numbers of English language learners.
"Treating unequals equally is not justice," Brown said. "Growing up in Compton or Richmond is not the same as growing up in Los Gatos or Beverly Hills or Piedmont."
Brown said he believes the state can reduce its "wall of debt" from $27.8 billion at the end of this current fiscal year to $4.3 billion by the end of 2016-17. "We're on the road to sustainable balance," Brown said. "It will not be easy, there will be some disagreements, there will be some heartburn, but I'm here to get done what I think is compassionate and what is good for the state of California."
So California's deficit is gone thanks to bone-deep cuts in every sector of state government and seven years of new taxes from Proposition 30, Brown said: "We're in a better place."
But Brown said it'll be his difficult job to say "no" to over-exuberant lawmakers who want to boost spending across the board again.
"Yes, there's inequality out there and yes there's hardship," Brown said, but it's time to invest in education to solve such programs for decades to come -- better return on the state's investment.
Convincing lawmakers to keep spending reigned in will "require a lot of charm," Brown acknowledged.
State worker contracts are up for renewal this year, and Brown said his administration will go into those negotiations with an open mind but with resolve that the state live within its means.
Brown declined to guarantee Thursday that state university students won't see any tuition increases.
"Guarantees are not part of this world that we live in," Brown said, but he said he'll visit with the UC Regents and CSU trustees to discuss ways of avoiding any increases.
"I want to move diplomatically but carefully," he said of working with the universities' boards. "Everybody's going to have to pull together -- administrators, the leadership, professors and the rest of them."
Fiscal discipline means taking care of the people's needs over the long term rather than throwing a bunch of money out there now and suffering a financial hangover afterward, Brown said.
What Brown describes as an austere budget still represents 5 percent spending growth over the current year, but Brown said the state still is spending less per capita than it did for decades.
America is in a big financial mess, and some "characters... have written California off as a failed state," Brown said, yet the state is finding creative ways to deal with challenges ranging from an aging population to climate change.
That requires "fiscal discipline and imaginative investment," he said. "California can be the model, and to do that we have to keep Republicans and Democrats on a playing field that gets us to the end."

Government Shutdown Colliding with Tax Time---and Guess Who Gets Screwed!
The government shutdown enters its second week today, and it is getting dangerous close to infringing on tax season.
CPA Kim Ford, a partner at the local firm of Hill and Ford, says, as usual, the feds have fixed things in their favor.
"If tax is due, the tax payments have to be made, but here's the kicker...if they have a refund coming, they're not going to get it while the government is shut down."
Anybody who asked for an extension to file their taxes last April has to file by October 15th. That is getting dangerous close, and Ford says the government shutdown won't affect that deadline.
"Only about 9% of IRS employees are working," she says. "But I'll bet you that the people who are in charge of taking your check and putting it in the bank are among that 9%."
She says the government shutdown has eliminated all of the individuals at the IRS who answer questions and provide taxpayers, and tax preparers, with the information they need to file returns. IRS walk in taxpayer assistance centers are also closed, and any Taxpayer Advocate meetings will be cancelled.
She says there is some good news. She says anybody who got a notice of audit or a notice that they owe back taxes will have that process placed on hold, at least until after the shutdown.
"If you have received an IRS notice that has a due date on it that says...you have to contact the IRS by this date, there's no one there to take your call."
But, amazingly, those notices are still being mailed out, generally on an automated bases, and are still landing in taxpayer mailboxes. The IRS web site is still operating, although some 'interactive features' may not be available.
And Ford says even if the government shutdown ends this week, which at this point does not seem likely, the mess will continue long enough that it could begin to affect end of year tax issues.
"Think about how much stuff piles up on your desk if you're on vacation for just a few days," she says. "Once the IRS workers get back, it's going to be an amazing mess, because they have so many days of work that are still piled up on their desk."

Construction cuts parking at Charlotte airport
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) _ They are building more parking spaces at Charlotte Douglas International Airport.
But while they build, there are fewer parking spaces available.
The Charlotte Observer reported that the work means there are 3,500 fewer parking spaces this summer.
The airport has torn down two short-term parking decks in front of the terminal to make way for a new hourly parking deck scheduled to open in November 2014.
The $120 million, seven-story project add about 7,500 spaces. It also will hold the airport's rental car facility.
The addition will mean the airport will have nearly 29,000 spaces.
City aviation director Jerry Orr says travelers are being pushed to parking lots farther from the terminal. The airport has added nine more shuttle buses. Sixty-four buses are now in use to shuttle passengers.

Ozzy shedding new light on Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward's absence
Listen to Black Sabbath on iHeartRadio
Ozzy Osbourne says money isn't the only thing that kept drummer Bill Ward from taking part in the Black Sabbath reunion. The singer tells "Mojo" magazine that Bill wasn't up to the task.
He explains that he suggested they run through their set with Ward, because Bill was "so out of condition" and they needed to know he could play for up to two hours straight. Ozzy says they discovered that Ward didn't remember the songs.
He explains that Ward had yellow post-its with song notes stuck all over his drums. Osbourne says it "would have been cool" if Bill would have just come clean and admitted he couldn't "cut this gig," and they might have been able to work something out.
But Ozzy adds that he understands Bill's efforts to save face, because his "pride was hurt." He also says Bill will "always be a dear dear friend and a brother" to him, and he's "not gonna give Bill a hatchet job." But he admits they don't have the patience to deal with it.
The three-quarters Black Sabbath reunion, featuring Ozzy, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler with Ozzy's touring drummer Tommy Clufetos, is currently on the road. They'll be wrapping up their Australian tour with a show in Adelaide Tuesday.
The band's new album 13, which they recorded with Rage Against the Machine drummer Brad Wilk, will hit stores next month.

Together with Asustek Computer, Google has upgraded the original Nexus 7 with a high-resolution panel and made the device lighter. The tablet is also capable of having more than nine hours of HD video playback and 10 hours of web browsing or reading. The Nexus 7 now features stereo speakers and virtual surround sound from Fraunhofer.
The new Nexus 7 is the first device to ship with Android 4.3, the latest version of Android. In Android 4.3, Google introduced restricted profiles, which let users limit access to apps and content. For example, restricted profiles enable parental controls, so certain family members are prevented from accessing mature content. Likewise, retail stores can use tablets to show off product information, and shops can use tablets as point of sale systems. Android 4.3 also now supports Bluetooth Smart technology, opening the door to mobile apps that connect to new devices like fitness sensors.
