WATCH: Taylor Swift's reaction to Selena Gomez kissing Justin Bieber
Listen to Taylor Swift on iHeartRadio | Listen to Justin Bieber on iHeartRadio | Listen to Selena Gomez on iHeartRadio
It looks like "Jelena" is back on. Amidst reports that Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber were seen together taking in the sights around Las Vegas while in town for the Billboard Music Awards, the two were also spotted backstage kissing each other.
One of Selena's BFFs, Taylor Swift, was also in town for the awards show, and passed by them during their smooch session. What did T-Swift think about this? Her face says it all.
Check out more photos from the Billboard Music Awards here
Lucky for us, the event live-streamed the backstage area, and caught it all on tape. Check out Taylor's reaction below:

Cleveland • If Mo Williams is able to return to the lineup Wednesday, it couldn't come at a better time for the Jazz.
Center Al Jefferson is listed as doubtful for the third straight game thanks to a sprained left ankle, and three Jazz (32-28) starters were held scoreless for the second time in five games in Monday's 109-108 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.
Despite going 18-14 in this stretch without Williams, the Jazz have lost four of six games since the All-Star Break.
So this, from coach Tyrone Corbin following Tuesday's morning practice, comes as welcome news in Williams' rehabilitation.
"He looked pretty good," Corbin said. "He went through all activity. He didn't have any discomfort in [his surgically repaired thumb], just keeps progressing."
Williams is still officially listed as "out," although Corbin said "there is a possibility" the point guard would play against the Cavaliers if he got through Tuesday night without any soreness.
"We'd like to have all of our guys back as soon as we can," Corbin said.
While Jefferson is unlikely to play, point guard Jamaal Tinsley is expected to rejoin the Jazz in time for Wednesday morning's shootaround after leaving Monday afternoon to attend a funeral.
For starters
Getting Williams back would plug one noticeable gap in the Jazz's offense, but there are others that still concern Corbin.
Outside of its frontcourt, the team has not gotten hardly any offensive production from its starters. Marvin Williams remained entrapped in a seasonlong malaise, Randy Foye has gone cold and Earl Watson isn't a scorer anyway.
The three were a combined 0 for 15 from the field against the Bucks.
"It is a concern," Corbin said. "We have to get scoring, and it's not just about scoring. We have to get a better flow with that first group."
That likely means a change. But what?
Corbin wasn't willing on Tuesday to offer any hints, but they're not hard to guess. Gordon Hayward would be a candidate to replace either Williams or Foye, and DeMarre Carroll could take the spot of Marvin Williams if Corbin decided to put Hayward in the backcourt or leave him on the bench.
The other option is the one Corbin has leaned on all season: letting players play through their slumps.
"It's difficult for anybody," he said. "If you get a couple easy shots and get a couple of free throws, see the ball go in the basket, it helps your confidence a little bit."
Not asking for Favors
The lasting memory from Monday's loss will be of Derrick Favors, a virtual lock to shatter career highs in points and rebounds, sitting on the Jazz bench, watching his teammates fight back from 13-point hole before losing in overtime.
With 23 points (tying a career high) and 15 rebounds (two away from his best ever), the former No. 3 overall pick was reduced to spectator.
"It was my decision," Corbin said, when asked if he could shed light on the move.
Enes Kanter and Paul Millsap were both playing well and stayed in for the final 17 minutes of the game. But Corbin has shown over time a preference for reinserting his starting center $15 million man Jefferson after the bench guys get it close.
Is Favors not viewed as being the same kind of closer?
"We liked the way it was going on the floor," Corbin said, before repeating, "I made the decision."

Business is brisk at the Rosie's Dog Beach zone.
Justin Rudd, a co-founder of the zone, says it draws the largest number of visitors along Long Beach's shoreline - located at Granada Avenue between Argonne and Roycroft avenues, south of Ocean Boulevard.
"Hundreds!" he emphasized.
Those type of numbers are important to keep in mind, Rudd said, when considering any critical remarks about dog owners being cited for beach violations.
When put in context, violations represent a small fraction of visitors to the park, he said.
Recently, Marine Safety Chief Randy Foster told the Belmont Shore Residents Association that he and the lifeguards have heard public concerns about violations of rules concerning dogs on the beach.
He said seven citations were given in all of 2011, and so far this year they have issued 23 citations.
Rudd insisted that the issues did not involve dog waste.
"We clean that beach once a month," he said, referring to the monthly cleanup by a small army of volunteers who comb the sands for litter.
Rudd said the issues are mainly leash laws and rules on approaching the dog zone. He attributes the violations to new visitors not knowing the the rules.
Capt. Rich Brandt, a spokesman for Marine Safety, agreed. He said that new signs by the Parks, Recreation & Marine Department were installed to guide visitors.
He said the average 20 citations per month has dropped substantially, following the introduction of the new signs.
Venice-bound gondola rowers
For nearly three decades, it's been a ritual of spring, when several members of the Gondola Getaway staff - Team USA - travel to Italy, to race in the Vogalonga, or long row, in Venice.
This is the 27th year for the Venice venture - set for the third Sunday in May.
The event actually goes back a few additional years.
In November 1974, a group of amateur and professional Venetian rowers had a race on the island of Burano. They came up with an idea of a noncompetitive "race" that allowed for any kind of rowing boat, in the spirit of historical festivities.
The first Vogalonga began the next year with the message to protest against the growing use of powerboats in Venice and the damage they do to the historic city.
The Vogalonga rowing regatta is designed to bring the spotlight to Venice's challenges.
Team USA would like support for its participation in the 38th annual event.
Any donation amount will be rewarded with a downloadable digital poster. Go to www.gondo.net.
In Venice, participants gather at St. Marks. The course is a scenic route spanning 30 kilometers along the various Venetian canals.
The number of participants from all over the world has swelled to thousands over the years. Some locals have founded new rowing clubs and build their own boats based on real, historical watercraft. Some participants have brought their own kind of boats like the Chinese dragon boats. Some have also chosen to swim through the route instead of rowing.
Mike O'Toole, a history buff and one of the owners of the popular Gondola Getaway, said four Long Beach rowers will be part of this spring's race.

USC will participate in exchange with India
The University of South Carolina has been chosen to participate in a program to help build partnerships with higher education institutions in India.
USC is one of 10 institutions chosen by the Institute of International Education to participate in the 2010 International Academic Partnership Program. The USC team will work to foster international education exchange and research partnerships in engineering, environmental science, public health and healthcare.
"The primary objective in our IAPP pilot program is to partner with India's educational institutions serving rural populations to identify critical problems faced by rural India in the fields of medicine, public health, energy, and environment and sustainability," said Dr. T.S. Sudarshan, Carolina Distinguished Professor and chairman of USC's department of electrical engineering. "With over 70 percent of India's population in the rural areas, the people in these areas must be reached if we are to make a significant and important contribution to their quality of life. I am so pleased that our group has been awarded this opportunity to make a difference in the world."
The program at USC will be led by Sudarshan; Dr. Venkat Lakshmi, professor and chair of the department of earth and ocean sciences; Dr. Meera Narasimhan, professor and vice chairman of the department of neuropsychiatry and behavioral science at the School of Medicine; and Patricia Willer, associate vice president for international programs.
The program, funded by the U.S. Department of Education's Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education, seeks to increase the number of international partnerships between higher-education institutions in the United States and India. More than 70 institutions competed for 10 spots.

I'm not entirely sure this is the right forum, but I couldn't think where else to post.
I've recently noticed some very weird user-agent strings in my logs. They are all exactly the same, apart from the domain and link text. e.g.
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:{1|2|3|4}.{1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|0}.{1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|0}.{1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|0}) Gecko/2012{1|0}{1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|0}{1|2|3}{1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|0} Firefox/{1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|0}.{1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|0}.{1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|0}{1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|0} High Poker
Why would there be a link there? What does it do? As far as I can tell, the domains are all perfectly legit and "innocent" and show no signs of having been hacked or anything else. The bots, on the other hand, are clearly Up To No Good. :shifty: What's going on here?
This is more curiosity than concern, but I do like to understand who's doing what to my sites.
It is basically log spam in hopes you publicly display your logs and search engines see it.
The user agent is a free format user enterable field and so can contain anything that anyone wants to put there. I have thought for several years now that it was only a mater of time before people start replacing its content with advertising. Looks like I was right.
Thanks guys. It made no sense to me, as I couldn't see how anybody was going to see the link. It's also a bit puzzling, as most of the sites seem to be very respectable, mainstream businesses and nothing at all to do with the botnets pushing them. (A manufacturer of blinds, a fruit juice company, a baby toy company etc.)
Good point. Perhaps it's some botnet maker/owner that is just testing to make sure their botnet is working fine by framing unscrupulous sites?

Haider Ackermann Fall 2011
Haider Ackermann's lyrical collection began in Trappist silence, moved through stately seventeenth-century chords, and ended on a strident modern note—and to a ringing crescendo of applause.
The superbly paced show opened with austerely beautiful ensembles that layered different elements of black. Watteau-backed jackets or coats swung over satin-collared dressing gowns and hip-slouched pants, or skirts cut in artful spirals. These monochromatic looks were subtly punctuated with single elements of white, building to an all-white outfit, and eventually with elements of amethyst or mallard, until Ackermann sent out looks colored in extraordinary tonal nuances—layerings of teal green, forest green, kingfisher blue, and deep jade, for example—that proved him a master colorist.
There are certainly echos of Gianfranco Ferré's bravura architecture in Ackermann's silhouettes, with that designer's fondness for dramatic collars sometimes draped to reveal one shoulder, or to flatter the nape of the neck, kimono-style, and for those bold obi belts that Ackermann styles as though caught in the act of being looped. And Ackermann also seems to be looking to other past masters of geometry in cut. An artfully draped blouse in a soft washed silk, for instance, or a skirt cut in an asymmetric handkerchief point, suggests the hand of Madame Vionnet; a scissored skirt (perhaps with dangerous cutouts) recalls the exaggeration and drama of Christian Dior. And Ackermann's beautiful take on the season's ankle boots (in alligator or burnished leather), is scythed like the ellipses of a Charles James ball gown, its cross lacings following the curving volutes of those seams.
But Ackermann filters all these influences through a sensibility that is entirely of the moment. His runway looks may combine hieratic drama with ineffable cool, but they are composed of thoughtfully considered pieces—a hard tailored blazer, or a soft-draped dressing-gown coat; liquid dresses and blouses; a stiff shantung pant or a billowing sarouel that, when disassembled, will play to a multitude of tastes. This authoritative collection showed us why, in a tempestuous Paris season, Ackermann's is the name on every quivering lip.

Programs offered are designed for the preparation of future educators. The programs of study center around our commitment to excellence in teaching in today's diverse society through the investigation of significant educational issues, inquiry into student learning and effective teaching practices, and the use of technology in teaching and learning. We engage teacher candidates in critical reflection upon their practice throughout the program. We foster engagement in schools through our Partnership Schools and other school and agency affiliations. Upon completion of the program, teacher candidates measure themselves against the values of our guiding conceptual framework through the completion of professional portfolios. Values that are part of this framework include: commitment to social justice, critical pedagogy, and positive educational transformation within the context of a Vincentian personalism that honors the dignity of each person.
Students entering the program must be able and willing to devote themselves to a program requiring a minimum of 145 hours of daytime field experiences in schools. These school-based clinical hours are completed in conjunction with curriculum and theory courses that require students to spend a half-day each week in a child care center or school; some of the field experience can be completed in worksite locations. Twenty-five the hours that apply to working with families may be completed in evenings or weekends. In addition, the student must spend a minimum of 12 weeks in full-time student teaching.
The program includes five distinctive features: 1) Becoming a teacher is viewed as a developmental process continuing at least through the first year of teaching; 2) Multiculturalism is infused throughout the curriculum; 3) Field experiences are an integral part of the curriculum; 4) Students are exposed to a variety of educational theories; 5) The program includes a research component as a basis for further professional development.

Inflammation and resultant pain in the joints are usually the basic tenets of Arthritis. This joint disorder can be painful and often, a debilitating one. It can also make the joints stiff. There are many ways of dealing with this problem, but with Ayurveda, one can get to the root cause of the ailment and its presence. This helps in taking a well rounded holistic approach towards treating it with ancient know how that revolves around herbs and other natural substances which have great medicinal value, lifestyle changes, diet, exercise and Yoga, oil massages, and other methods. Arthritis is known as Sandhivata in Ayurvedic jargon.
Read on to find out how Ayurveda can help in dealing with Arthritis.
- Panchakrama Treatments: Panchakrama treatments like Vasti, Janu vasti, greeva vasti, kati vasti, elakizhi, podikizhi, pizhichil etc. are very useful treatments for Athritis. Small herbal pouches made of various herbs which are warmed in medicated oils are used to massage the entire body or specific areas like the back, neck, shoulders, hands and joints. It does away with pain to give you comfort and much strength A gentle, synchronized massage of up and down is carried out on all parts of the body other than the head with medicated oils. It is administered in seven standard positions, so that no area of the body is left uncovered. Cloth dipped in lukewarm medicated oil is squeezed over the patient's body uniformly and then the oil rubbed smoothly over the body. This treatments can last for 7-21 days depending upon the severity of the arthritis.
- Diet: In Ayurveda, to treat ailments like Arthritis, it is usually recommended that a patient should start by flushing out the body toxins from within. Diet is one of the ways in which this can be done. A detoxification diet to clean the colon would be one of the foremost ways of doing a cleanse. Further, in one's daily diet, there should be a good dose of vegetables, fruits and other juices. Also, one must have plenty of herbs and spices, which can be used to season the food. Curd should generally be avoided and garlic should be used liberally. The various properties that help in an inside out cleanse that will help the system function in a better manner so that the treatment of ailments is also effectively supported.
- Exercise: In Ayurveda, a certain amount of daily exercise, which spans at least 45 minutes to one hour, is a must. A pattern of healthy eating, restful sleep and exercise is what usually helps in treating ailments like Arthritis. For this ailment specifically, light exercise like walking is recommended. Various Yoga asanas that involve sitting, standing, balancing and lying down poses as well as restful poses will also help in treating knee, shoulder and lower back pain specifically. Also, mustard oil massages can help in reducing the pain.
These are the few ways in which Ayurveda can help Arthritis patients live a more normal life with minimal pain.
Hi, Sir Can I walk after getting stitch opened from my legs. If not after how many days can I walk? please tell me
hi I am 38 old , suffering with lumber spondylisit since 8 years. Kindly suggest me something for that
The sciatic nerve is one of the largest nerves in the body. It goes from the lower back all the way down to the base of the leg. When there is a disorder associated with the sciatic nerve, it is known as Sciatica.
Sciatica, however, does not necessarily need a surgery or a very elaborate procedure to fix the problem. Most commonly, it is treated simply by practicing a number of simple exercises. Here are some of the most common exercises prescribed to treat Sciatica:
- Reclining Pigeon Pose: There are three main forms of the pigeon pose. These are sitting, reclining and then forwarding. It is recommended that if you have very recently started your treatment for Sciatica, then certainly you should go for the reclining pose. In this pose, you are supposed to hold your left leg in the air at a right angle to your back. Then, hold your ankle against the knee. Finally, repeat this stretch with the right leg as well.
- Knee to Opposite Shoulder: In this stretch, the starting position is on your back side. You have to have your legs out and feet upwards. From this position, try to bring your right leg towards your left shoulder. Hold this for 30 seconds and then release and relax. Repeat this activity three times and repeat the whole procedure with your other leg. Only take your leg as far as it goes.
- Sitting Spinal Stretch: At the start of this exercise, sit on the ground with your legs going straight outwards and your feet flexed in the upward direction. Pull your left knee and put it on the outside of your right knee. Finally, place your right elbow on the left knee, so that your body turns to the left. Hold for 30 seconds and then relax. Repeat the procedure with the other knee.
- Standing Hamstring Stretch: Put your foot on an elevated surface such that it is above the floor, but not above hip level. Flex your toes forward such that your feet and legs are nearly in a straight line. Bend as far towards the foot as possible. However, do not stretch so far that you feel pain. Finally, repeat this procedure on the other side after release.
Lower back pain is a very common issue and can take place due to numerous reasons. However, one of its main causes is a ligament strain or back muscle strain. Microscopic tear or excessive stretching of ligaments can take place due to lifting very heavy objects, doing enormously strenuous task or due to a sudden twisted movement. These conditions are most likely to be experienced by individuals ranging between the ages of 30 and 60. Other causes of lower back pain include back injury, arthritis of back bone joints, infections in the lower back area, and in very rare cases, tumours.
In case of acute back pain, these are a few important things that should be definitely kept in mind.
- It is absolutely essential to take rest for a couple of days and avoid any sort of stressful activity. Although back pain is self-limiting, if you take proper care, it can be cured in a few days. However, if proper rest is not taken, the situation may become worse.
- Using the black belt, also known as lumbo sacral corset, is a good idea. This can actually be of enormous help to individuals who have been suffering from lower back pain for a long period of time.
- As already mentioned, one of the main causes of these kinds of mishaps are sudden jerky movements, twisted movements, heavy weight lifting etc. So, it is necessary to avoid such circumstances, or else, a more acute back pain situation may arise due to slipping of one of the discs from the spinal cord.
- As much as you like long drives and bike rides, these are a strict no. Any prolonged sitting or standing activity needs to be avoided. It is important that the tear caused in the muscles due to what-so-ever reason heals properly and prolonged stay in a tensed muscle position would definitely not help the cause.
- Although these back pains can be handled at home by following the discussed steps, using simple analgesics or muscle relaxants prescribed by the doctor can be a way to speed up the process of recovering the strained ligament.
Apart from these important steps, regular exercise to strengthen the core body muscles is a great way to avoid such ligament strains in the future. However, if you feel that even after following the precautionary measures, you problem doesn't subside, consult an experienced doctor for his advice.

Spinal surgery becomes inevitable when back pain cannot be managed with medications and/or exercise. This is a major decision and requires planning for many things before, during, and after the surgery.
Before a spinal surgery- This preparation will help in smooth recovery, especially if you do not have a full-time caretaker.
Discontinue pain killers: Discontinue pain killers at least 10 to 14 days before surgery. These are blood thinners and can prolong bleeding during the surgery.
Prepare for blood loss: Most people experience some blood loss, but not excessive.
Use a toilet seat raiser: Sitting and getting up from the toilet seat may be difficult. The seat raiser is used to increase the height, making this movement easy.
Enable easy access to common items: Before heading for the surgery, keep things which are commonly used within easy reach. This will help reduce movement and avoid searching (especially if someone else is going to be doing it).
Stock it up: Cooking may not be feasible during the initial postop period, and so it is advisable to stock up food items (ready to eats, fruits, soups, etc.) which will come in handy.
Slip-ons: Bending down and tying shoes may not be easy, so slip-ons can be used.
Caregiving: It is always advisable to have someone stay over with you during the initial postop days. They could help with regular household chores, cooking, etc.
Lifestyle changes: Ensure you eat well in the days before surgery, quit smoking, quit/use moderate amounts of alcohol, and exercise as advised by your surgeon.
After Surgery- Post surgery, there will be some pain and limitation of movement. It is important to understand that adherence to post-op instructions will improve the success rate of the surgery. Also, recovery time for spine surgery is slightly longer and affects overall quality of life, so psychological preparation is required.
Postoperative medications: These will be given to control infection and pain in the immediate postop period, and should be taken without fail
Rehab: The surgeon will recommend physical therapy and rehab exercises which need to be followed. Complete recovery may take anywhere between 3 to 12 months. During this time, care should be taken to avoid repeat injury.
Support: Adequate back support should be provided using lumbar support and ergonomic chairs, and the right posture should be maintained. Ensure there is no undue strain on the back muscles.
Weight management: With excess weight, there is too much strain on the lower disks. Therefore, weight should be managed to reduce this strain.
Smoking and alcohol should be completely stopped, as healing can be hampered.
With some preparation, spinal surgery can be sailed through smoothly.

Hello folks,
I'm trying to decrytp a crypto of simplite on the gateway of my bussiness
I tried with ssldump, sslstrip and mitm with ettercap, but unsucessul ,
exists a form to decrypt this traffic and i can see the msgs ?
Thanks in advanced
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
I think that it goes to be difficult .
*/ SimpLite-MSN authenticates your contacts using RSA keys up to 2048 bits. Encryption is done using the following algorithms: AES (up to 128 bits) or Twofish. Those proven modern algorithms guarantee a strong security of your online conversations. */
Any ideas ?

Incorporating more non-fiction is a consistent goal within most English curriculum planning. Common Core expectations focus on literary non-fiction and analyzing rhetoric as does AP, Honors and IB curriculum.
But supplements can be difficult and time consuming to find. Trolling through websites can eat away at my sanity especially as we march closer and closer to the end of the year. Between AP tests and state mandated testing it can feel as if there just isn't time. No time to find material and certainly no time to implement it. It's easy to give up, become frustrated and revert back to all "Gatsby" all the time.
Never fear. Letters of Note is an excellent online resource for a classroom teacher of English or History. Shaun Usher, website curator, has compiled over 700 letters that span centuries and whose topics range from Stark Trek to the Civil War. While letters include the handwritten notes of celebrities and iconic historical figures, some of the best correspondence is that of people we do not know.
With a post per day, it's more than likely you will be able to find a new non-fiction supplement each week for things you already teach.
This week we'll highlight some of the best letters and discuss how to seamlessly employ them within your preexisting classroom structure. Expect letters from Mark Twain, Frederick Douglass, John Adams, Steinbeck and more. Expect letters ready made for teaching style. But most important, expect assignments about the role of correspondence in modern culture. All will be easy to implement, and all will help enrich literature and rhetorical analysis.

Hi mate,
Check this out. I hope it will help you out more in the aimed path
Hey everyone
Sorry it's a bit long, skip to the tl;dr if you don't want to hear what I've done. I've been looking around at trying to find a good framework for what is a solid learning path for those starting off in the security realm of computing. I'll give you an idea of what I've done and what I'd like to achieve before asking a few questions. To begin with I reviewed a ton of video's on SecurityTube (awesome resource) including overviews of WLAN, Router Attacks, Metasploit, String Vulnerabilities, Assembly language etc etc. I feel from that I got a pretty solid overview of Metasploit and it's fundamentals along with possibilities with wireless, and an introduction to the other areas. From here I've read a heap of books including -
- Backtrack 4 - Assuring Security by Penetration Testing
- Lots of Certified Ethical Hacking Material
- Metasploit - The Penetration Testers Guide
- Google Hacking for Penetration Testers
- The Basics of Hacking and Penetration Testing
- Backtrack 5 - Wireless Penetration Testing
I'm also in the process of reading
- The Web Application Hacker's Handbook
- TCP/IP Illustrated
- Grey Hat Hacking - The Ethical Hacker's Handbook
On my "To Read" list after I finish the above
- The Shellcoders Handbook
- The Database Hackers Handbook
- The Debian Administrators Handbook
- Hacking Exposed Series
From these resources I feel I've got a solid understanding of the pen testers framework (obvious stages i.e. Information Gathering, Vulnerability Assessment, Exploiting, Maintaining access, etc). I've got a decent understanding of the tools used, or at least possibly used, in a wide range of circumstances such as those that backtrack offer. I understand how basic buffer overflows work along with format string vulnerabilities. I have a basic level of C, C#, C++ programming skill, I can 'read' a lot of others i.e. JavaScript, SQL, etc. I'm trying to work on some more scripting skills like Ruby and Bash at the moment. In terms of practicing I've set up my own wireless network for pentesting WLAN stuff, got some virtual machines with Metasploitable (v1 / v2), DE-ICE ISOs, Windows XP, OWASP Broken Web Apps etc. I'm aware of Smash the Stack which I'm not experienced enough to be good at yet, and done a few things on EnigmaGroup and HackThisSite.
Here is my problem -
Throughout all this I feel as though I've been picking up small pieces of knowledge, but I haven't gained really useful skills in any one single area. I feel as though I've done a broad sweep of pen testing and security, but now I have to make a choice as to where to drill down and learn really in depth, but there are so many choices. Exploit Writing. WLAN Security. Network Security. Web Applications. Reverse Engineering. Programming Languages. OS / Protocol Knowledge. Social Engineering. I don't know what are the best 'practical' skills to have as in which have the most real world use if I ever do wish to go into the pen testing industry one day. Can Web Application security ever really be learnt without an indepth knowledge of network security? etc etc.
Summary & TL;DR - I'm really really hoping there is a well thought out justification for a structured learning approach to security in general. This would look along the lines of - "You should learn ruby in depth first as it will allow you to execute these type of scripts against web servers. Once you can do that learn web servers in depth so you can gain access via these methods, and possibly then look into network security after so you can understand how you can pivot further into networks."
As you can see by the books I'm reading, I'm more than happy to learn. I'm more than happy to read a TON, I'm more than happy to accept it will be a path of many months / years before I get competent at what I'm doing, but I'd love to have a justification for the direction I'm taking rather than "Hmmm, getting a bit bored of WLAN password cracking, time to read on indepth shellcode exploits" which I fear will get me nowhere in the long run.
- Thanks if you made it all the way through.
Hi mate,
Check this out. I hope it will help you out more in the aimed path
Completely I share your opinion. In it something is and it is good idea. It is ready to support you.

Chrysler offered the Royal and Windsor lines in 1942 that included features such as broadcloth upholstery, an electric clock, whitewall wheel rims, mirrored hubcaps, front carpets and "air foam" seat cushions. The Windsor also featured folding armrests in the rear seat. Optional on the Windsor line was Highlander plaid interiors for $20 extra.
The six-cylinder, Highlander of 1940 to 1942 shared the same distinctive trim package as the larger New Yorker Highlander, a Scottish plaid cloth and leatherette upholstery.
The Windsor first came out in 1939 and by 1940 came in either long or short wheelbase versions, as a six-passenger sedan, a six-passenger coupe, a convertible, a Victoria sedan, or an eight-passenger sedan.
The 1941 line added the Windsor Six Town and Country, a station-wagon type vehicle designed by David A. Wallace, who was the president of Chrysler at the time. Fog lights and bumper crash bars were optional.
Production of the Windsor ended in early 1942, because all automobile companies shifted to war production by order of the War Department.
The Highlanders from the era are noted for their eye-catching interior and comfort, but are also were difficult to maintain.

On Campus
Not Just Words: Symposium on Language & Endangered Alphabets
Language and alphabets are critically connected to culture and help shape how their users view the world. Today, many languages and alphabets are considered "endangered." What does that mean for the remaining speakers of these languages and for the cultures that created them? Our upcoming Symposium on Language & Endangered Alphabets explores the loss of global cultural diversity that occurs when languages and writing systems disappear.
The opening workshop, "Language Matters: Change, Choice, and Consequences" will be led by faculty from American University: Naomi Susan Baron, Professor of Linguistics in the Department of World Languages and Cultures (CAS) and Executive Director of the Center for Teaching, Research, and Learning, and Chip Gerfen, Professor and Chair of the Department of World Languages and Cultures (CAS). They will focus on why language, which we often take for granted, is so important, including the social, political, economic, and cultural forces that shape language usage. The discussion will draw on examples of change in spoken and written languages, both historical and modern.
Following this workshop, special guest Tim Brookes will discuss his Endangered Alphabets project. The director of the Professional Writing program at Champlain College, Professor Brookes, founded this project in 2009. As part of the project, he has created carved texts in more than 25 of the world's 30+ endangered writing systems. Exhibited throughout the United States and around the world, his work draws attention to the issue of endangered alphabets and their influence on cultures. Currently, Professor Brookes and his students are raising money to publish books in the languages of the Chittagong Hill Tracts in Bangladesh. Providing texts published in these languages to schools will help more students, who may not speak the national language of Bangla, further their education. More information about this and other initiatives in the Endangered Alphabets project can be found on the project website www.endangeredalphabets.com.
Carvings from the Endangered Alphabets project will be on display during the reception. Professor Brookes will also have a few copies of his book, Endangered Alphabets; additional copies will be available to order. Several carvings will remain on exhibit on the Lower Level of the Library through mid-May 2014.
Students, faculty, staff, alumni, and neighbors are welcome to attend all or part of the symposium. There is no cost to attend, but RSVPs are appreciated for the reception.

LAKEWOOD - Can a person be happy, even when it seems there's little to be happy about?
It's a choice, Lakewood Mayor Larry Van Nostran said at the city's 35th annual Mayor's Prayer Breakfast on Wednesday.
About 200 people from a variety of religious faiths came together for the event, where speakers focused on the theme of happiness - a sometimes elusive state of mind, speakers acknowledged.
Van Nostran knows plenty about the kind of hardship that can dampen happiness. He lost his wife of more than 50 years suddenly in 2005, but went on to find happiness with his present wife, Charlene.
"I had been on my own for just over four years and then, one February morning in 2009, I came to this Mayor's Prayer Breakfast and was introduced to a wonderful lady named Charlene," he said. "She was cute as a button and before we knew it, we were in love and getting married."
And then there was his most recent life-changing event: having his leg amputated.
Doctors gave him a choice of either being in a wheelchair for life or walking with a prosthesis. Van Nostran opted for the prosthesis, a choice that enabled him to play golf - something that gave him happiness.
"For me to be happy, I had to be able to walk and be with my friends on the golf course," he said.
Despite the adversities, he and his wife chose to be optimistic.
"We found humor to be a helpful tool in dealing with the real-life drama," he said. "Happiness is wanting what life brings and dealing with it with a positive attitude. That is true peace, contentment, calmness and joy."
Susan Mathieu, a keynote speaker who serves as senior adult program coordinator for the Alpert Jewish Community Center, opened and closed her speech to music with a lot of laughter in between.
"I see joy as this incredible energy booster," she said, encouraging the crowd to lift their hands, sway side to side to the music while smiling at the person beside them.
"I became an advocate for happiness once I realized, life isn't fair," she said. "Then I became happy."
A big part of happiness is learning how to listen, Mathieu said.
"Understand why you are willing to listen to others," she said. "You cannot build and maintain relationships if you don't listen."
Another keynote speaker, the Rev. Michael Conan of Lakewood Christ Presbyterian Church, shared how to "walk in the happiness of God."
"I think of God as being full of joy. I think of God as being the happiest person I can imagine," he said. "In fact, I would say that is the whole theme of the Bible. He's a loving, joy-filled God who wants everybody to walk in his joy and know his joy."
The Bible teaches us how to be happy, Conan said.
"One way we can practically walk in the fullness of God's joy is for us to love each others," he said.
The speakers encouraged the crowd to commit to "choose happiness."
"You can choose to look at the bright side of life, instead of that `woe is me' attitude," Van Nostran said. "And when you do commit to feeling grateful, lucky, and most importantly, blessed - you will find that you actually are happier."

iHeartRadio Exclusive: Russell Simmons hates 360 record deals
Russell Simmons is a legend when it comes to the establishment of hip-hop in the mainstream. He is launching All Def Music, and is releasing his new book Success Through Stillness about meditation.
The music mogul stopped by iHeartRadio HQ in New York City and sat down with Vanessa Denis where he talked about everything from his new book to getting a record deal in the music industry.
In an effort to see what deal Russell would have given newer artists, he chose to express his concerns with popularity of 360 deals from record companies.
"Everybody wants 360. Everybody wants to be able to help them [artists] in different places."
Russell continued:
"I worry about this 360 route cause people want 360 deals but only do 10% of the work. It's 360% -there's a big circle out there and people don't know all the industries artists want to get into and they want a piece of it. I think that's a recipe for disaster."
Russell's philosophy on the topic didn't stop there!
"You have to have an infrastructure, in place to help an artist in a 360 deal, in order to take a 360 piece! That's my opinion because it's always recipe for a disaster. There's always a third party that comes in and then the money gets split in too many ways. The music company is taking what's not rightfully theirs. After a little bit of success it becomes a lawsuit or renegotiation."

Limit the user accounts that can connect through OpenSSH remotely
Limit OpenSSH users
How to limit the user accounts that can connect through ssh remotely
- Note: When you initially enable the SSH server, any user with a valid account can connect remotely. This can lead to security risks because password cracking tools exist that try common username/password pairs. This method helps restrict login access.
- Keep a backup of the ssh server configuration file:
sudo cp /etc/ssh/sshd_config /etc/ssh/sshd_config.ORIGINAL
- Edit the configuration file (use the gedit text editor instead of kate if using Ubuntu instead of Kubuntu):
sudo kate /etc/ssh/sshd_config
- Change the parameter:
PermitRootLogin no
This disallows the root user from connecting through SSH remotely.
- Add the parameter:
AllowUsers <user1> <user2> ...
and specify the usernames (space separated) that can connect remotely.
NOTE: This will allow ONLY the users specified to connect. You may use wildcards here (example: j* will allow jsmith to connect but not fsmith).
- You can also use:
DenyUsers <user1> <User2> ...
and specify, again using wildcards, users restricted from using SSH.
- If you enable the OpenSSH server and you do not wish to enable any remote connections, you may add:
AllowUsers nosuchuserhere

Asheville, N.C. - The Tornados broke the school record for rushing yards in a game for the second time this season, improving their mark to 412 yards on the ground, pounding Southern Virginia with the NCAA Division II's best rushing attack on their way to a 42-7 victory.
With the win, Brevard moves to 4-0 on the season, increasing their modern school record winning streak to four games, while the Knights move to 0-4.
Lawrence Martin broke out with a big game against the Knights, carrying the ball nine times for 93 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and hauling in two passes for another 36 yards and a score. Neville Bryce contributed a combined 107 yards rushing and receiving and a touchdown, and quarterback Matthew Gaines went 5-11 in the air with a pair of touchdown passes.
On the defensive side of the ball, Brandon Rawls led the team with 13 tackles, with three going for a loss. He were joined by a pair of sophomores as Prince Simunyu had 11 tackles from his outside linebacker position, including a diving interception on a fourth down play to go with half a sack, and Preseason All-SAC 2nd team defensive back Michael Gist had a pair of interceptions, returning one 87 yards down the left sideline for a touchdown as the Tornados held the Knights to 295 total yards, with most coming after the game was no longer in doubt.
Sam Trulock led the Knights offense, passing the ball 35 times, completing 19 for 170 yards. Quinton Garrus handled the bulk of the carries for the spread offense, moving 53 yards on 17 carries. Brad Schultz was Trulock's favorite target out in the flats, pulling in eight catches for 79 yards.
On the defensive side of the ball, cornerback Vernon Joines led the team with 14 tackles and a forced fumble. Devin Huch picked off a pass from Michael Crumbaker to lead the Knights secondary, while Clark Steele recorded the lone sack for Coach Fitzgerald's team.
The Tornados marched down the field on their opening possession, helped by a pair of lucky bounces as they went eight plays and 70 yards for their first score of the afternoon. Martin took the pitch on the first play of the game, racing around the right end before being chased down by Joiner, who punched the ball out of the BC ball carrier's grasp. The ball sat on the turf at Asheville High School Memorial Stadium for a brief second before being kicked out of bounds for the Tornados to retain possession.
Martin recovered from this brief relapse as he carried the ball in from 28 yards out six plays later to put Brevard up 7-0.
After the Tornados defense forced a turnover on downs on the Knights first offensive possession, Brevard's offense again marched down the field, consuming up 4:29 off the clock on a nine play-61 yard drive as the Martin scored his second touchdown of the day from eight yards out with 2:18 left in the first quarter to give the Tornados the 14-0 lead.
On the Tornados third offensive possession, a miscommunication between Crumbaker and fullback Derek Church led to a turnover which was recovered by SVU's Steele to provide prime field position at the Brevard 45-yard line at the beginning of the second quarter.
The Knights moved the ball to the Brevard 21, but after Simunyu forced a loss on a swing pass, Trulock's pass up the middle on fourth down was tipped up in the air by Gist, bounced off the hands of the SVU receiver, before Simunyu was able to corral it in inches from the field turf on the Tornados eight-yard line.
11 plays and 92 yards later, Bryce displayed soft hands coming out of the backfield, setting in a zone on the left side and catching the pass from Gaines before rumbling his way into the end zone to put Brevard up 21-0 with 6:10 left in the opening half.
The score would remain the same until Brevard's first possession of the second half as the Tornados rode Bryce on an eight-play, 53-yard drive where the 6-0 junior from Cades, S.C. carried the ball four times for 25 yards before turning it over to Justin Fleming who took a pitch and sprinted past the defense to the left pylon as Brevard went up 28-0.
Southern Virginia put together a drive of their own on the next possession, moving the ball 46 yards on ten plays behind the arm of Trulock. On second down and 12 from the Tornados 34, the senior quarterback lofted a pass to the end zone which was batted away by cornerback Austin Williams before settling in the arms of Gist coming over in support as Brevard again denied the Knights quest to put point on the board.
Southern Virginia would cross the goal line on their first drive in the fourth quarter as Trulock lowered his shoulder and sneaked it across with 9:55 left in the game, capping off a 12-play, 66-yard drive.
Martin and Gaines responded on the Tornados next drive, hooking up for a 31-yard touchdown pitch-and-catch after Gaines spun away from a pair of would-be tacklers to put the lead back at 28, as Brevard went up 35-7.
Southern Virginia again moved the ball against the Tornados defense, as Schultz out-jumped the cornerback on the visitors' sideline for a 43-yard reception to the Tornados 19-yard line. After a five-yard rush by Garrus, Trulock again targeted his favorite receiver out in the right flat, but Gist, anticipating the play, stepped in front of the ball, returning it untouched up the sideline for an 87-yard touchdown, the longest play on the Tornados season, and with Chase Henry's extra point, the Tornados led 42-7.
Both teams would swap possessions the rest of the way, but neither offense was able to add anything to the scoreboard as the Tornados took home the win, 42-7.
Brevard looks to continue its four-game winning streak next weekend as the Tornados head into conference play, facing off against the Bears of Lenoir-Rhyne University. Brevard is 0-2 against the Bears since resuming play in 2006. Kickoff for the game is set for 7 p.m.

You mean Apple didn't patent the gold look?
Apple's gold looks elegant because it isn't plastic. Samsung's might look tacky. Gold is a hard look to pull off properly.
Sbsettings, card switcher, lockscreen clock hide or lockinfo, Apple created the digital music marketplace so who cares
NO ONE cares that you are able to use google image search.
I think this is just a prank.
They can't seriously be this reliant on copying everything Apple does b/c they don't know what else to do right? It doesn't even make sense anymore. The gold phone almost seemed like a joke when Apple displayed it but it looks nice due to the finish and adds to the color selection in a simple way.
No, it's real? Ouch.
The power control was in the jailbreak community long before iOS7 and not exactly innovation; just necessary at this point. It's really nothing more than a shortcut to what is already built it and not ground breaking.
Do you think multitasking should somehow be different? This is really no different than a preview feature offered on countless electronics from TV's to PC's like Windows Vista long before a smart phone was around.
The lock screens are the same b/c they have a similar background and has the time? They both act and perform different on each device.
Music? You mean Android innovated album covers being shown while a song plays? That's brilliant. No other music company has ever associated the 2. This is genius. Oh wait, Apple music looks just like iTunes and follows the same standard look Apple has always done on their devices and even in their commercials.
Most innovations on a smart phone have been elsewhere in one form or another and the smart phone is just about packing all those features into 1 device that fits in you pocket.

2012 X3 - front end damage
Through 100% fault of my own, no excuses, I rear ended a Toyota Tacoma yesterday with my 2012 X3. I'm sick about it. I was in stop and go traffic and looked across the highway for a second, and by that time the truck had slammed on his brakes. I slammed on mine, but it was too late. I was probably going about 20-25 when I hit him. Luckily, I and the two passengers in the truck are fine, save for a very severe bruise on my hand from the air bag.
The damage appears to be confined to the front end...grill, bumper, headlights, and hood are all crumpled (although the bumper and grill are much worse than the hood). The fenders appear to be in good condition, other than the fact that they were pushed back very slightly (obvious at the seams between the fenders and doors). All driver's side airbags (3) deployed, and the side curtains on the passenger deployed (luckily the front side passenger airbag is intact). The collision guard, or whatever it is called, seems to have done it's job, as there did not appear to be any engine damage. It will likely need a new air conditioner compresser, though.
I don't have pictures, but I spent some time with the manager of the collision repair going over what the immediate issues appeared to be (I realize there will be a more complete inspection when the insurance assessor arrives). He said on a normal car it would be $6k in damage, but on a BMW, double the cost. He assured me that the car was not totaled and could be repaired.
I am wondering if anyone here has any experience with this type of damage. I searched the forums and saw quite a few posts of damage that did not to appear to be as severe as mine but the car was totaled. Repair costs reported here for similar/seemingly less damage also appear to be more expensive. I was planning to keep this car for a VERY long time, and I am really mad at myself for having this significant of an accident this early on.
Any advice on what to expect? My dad has already told me to get it fixed and then trade it in, but I just accepted a new job and will be moving and buying a house in the next 6 months, so I don't think that is a good option right now. I know the car will never be the same, but I am worried at this point of the possibility of it being totaled. I really don't want to have to buy a new car right now, because of the move and because I will be commuting 70 miles one way until we find a new house. I'd rather drive the repaired car for a while, put all those miles on it, and then maybe trade it in next year.
This was 10k of damage to my daughters 2005 330xi, and none of the airbags deployed.
My insurance company totals the car at 60% of value, you should be oh since it is a 2012....... Good luck.
PS. BMW is pushing great year end deals and holiday cash :-)

Thanks! Just talked to the insurance company, and since the collision center has preferred status, they don't send out an adjuster. They accept the collision center's estimate as-is. So, if they don't think it is totaled, then I doubt that it will be. I'm very curious to see what the outcome is.
Glad your daughter is ok.

Kat, check out TKO88 post here about "dropping the engine out of an X3" he is repairing an X3 with damage similar to yours. He has lots of photos so you will have an idea of all that is involved. I side with your father in this (as a father I kind of stick up for his advice) about getting it fixed and then trading it in. Yes you will take a hit for the repair but if it hasn't been "totalled" (salvage title) then it shouldn't be that bad. Next car get one that tells you you are getting too close and then starts braking! The new Mercedes do that as do the Volvos (the XC60 is nice) and some others. Great thing to have and I am sure it will show up on all the cars soon. I am glad no one was hurt and the other driver did not suffer any whiplash from the rear end crash! Keep us informed as to what you decide to do -- these are bummers but it will all work out at the end for you.
Wow...those are some amazing and intimidating pictures! It seems like my car was a bit more intact than the one in that thread, but that could be wishful thinking on my part. I had a lower-end 28i that cost about $45k new. A $30k+ repair would easily exceed 75% of my car's value. I hate to think about what this is going to do to my insurance premiums...they are already high here in TX, and they went up when I traded my CRV for the X3. This is the first at-fault claim I've ever had (had one over 10 years ago that was one of those act-of-God type claims), and I thankfully did not receive a ticket. I don't know if that matters or not.
I spoke with the repair center this morning, and they have been approved to start the work and will be ordering parts on Monday. They estimated I might have it back by the end of the month, but obviously, that depends on what else they find when they start taking it apart.
The driver of the truck I hit didn't complain of whiplash, but he did say he hit his head (presumably on the headrest, as I did when a kid rear ended my CRV last year) and complained about having a headache. His friend who was riding in the truck said they both were fine and the friend/driver was just already having a bad/stressful day dealing with work stuff.
Not a bad idea get it fixed and drive it while making that long commute. That way any little things that might not have been fixed right will show up and you can get them sorted out. It may well be that you will be happy with the car and if it was repaired right it will serve you well for a long term. You will be able to judge that of course. Good luck and be safe -- I hope your car insurance included a rental while yours is being repaired -- these things have a way of taking longer than originally estimated.
Thanks. I'm eating the cost of a rental...I didn't add that on to my policy because I sort of figured if I was stupid enough to cause an accident, then I deserved to have to pay the rental fee. Sort of like a punishment. I'm thinking now that wasn't such a good decision. But, I have a reasonably good deal on the rental, and my collision deductible is only $500.
Kind of a rule of thumb -- have a rental endorsement to your policy because if you are ever in an accident that is not "someone else's fault" you will not get a rental unless it is included. The rental endorsement is cheap "insurance" to have IMHO.
The estimate was posted to my insurance account today...just over $16k in damage. Almost $12k is parts alone. I asked the tow-truck driver how much he thought the repair would be (just out of curiosity) and he said $8k. Later, the shop manager commented that everything on a BMW is double the cost, so $16k doesn't surprise me. I'm just glad my deductible is only $500.
Let us know what the final result was and how you like the car once you get it back. Check out TKO's on going post too to get an idea of what is involved in that front end repair. Good luck and I am no one was hurt~!

I actually wanted my car declared to be totalled so I could have a clean slate and no bad Carfax history to shoulder. After I was rear ended, I had $26,000 worth of damage to my three week old 2013 (no air bags deployed). Trade in value after repairs was a whopping $31,000. I negotiated with the ins co and got a check for the full amount I paid (thanks to the value lock rider - otherwise i would have received about $5,000 less).
Suggest after you get your estimate that you find out what the trade in value would be, post repair. That information may help you make up your mind what you want to do.
My shop is currently rebuilding a nearly totaled X3... I see you've checked out the page. It's amazing how safe these cars are! Glad you're ok! If i was you (Agree with UncleJ) Trade it in after its fixed... I hope thats what the people with the blue X3 at my shop do!
So, today marks 7 full weeks since the accident. I've been calling once a week for the past 3 weeks (I knew it would not be ready before then) and my car is still NOT ready. To top it off, the manager who was handling my case no longer works for the repair center, so who knows how much time was lost due to poor/no communication. The story I got today is that everything is repaired, but there are a bunch of warning lights on. It was taken to the mechanic yesterday to reset the computer, but the mechanic realized the battery will not hold a charge. So they have to order a replacement cable, which won't arrive until Monday, and then they can proceed with resetting the computer.
I am not a whiner and I realize I would not be having these problems at all had I not had the wreck in the first place, but this is really frustrating. I've been told multiple reasons for the delays...parts not in stock at dealerships (because the car is so "new" according to the repair center), parts having to be delivered from Germany, BMW sending the wrong parts, etc. I asked today whether or not they should have noticed that the battery wasn't holding a charge sooner than now, but didn't get a good answer. At this point, I'm talking to a manager from another location of the collision center (there are 3 in my area), who is just filling in, and I just don't think he knows the history. To rub salt into the wound, I am having to pay out of pocket for my rental (and this was not noted in my file).
The new manager admits this has taken way too long. If/when I get the car back, should I even try to ask for any concessions? I'm going to owe a $500 deductible plus a rental car bill that is now over $1000. The good news is, the manager said the car looks and drives great (he says he drove it to the mechanic yesterday to have the computer reset, but I'm not sure how, if the battery wasn't holding a charge). But, based on my conversation with the manager today, it seems to me like they have made mistakes on their end that have at least contributed to the delays. Is 8 weeks repair time, along with all of these parts delays par for the course with one of these cars? I'm not going to get angry with the repair center, since that wont help things, but should I be asking for some sort of discount on the bill? Any input is welcome.
And, yes, I will be changing my insurance policy to include a rental car.

I would ask them to pick up the bill on at least a few weeks of the rental vehicle. All they can do is say no. Never hurts to ask
I think you would be better off if the car was total. Personally, I would have taken the car to a certified BMW repair shop or dealer, beside the body work, there is bound to be a lot of mechanical and electrical issue in an accident of this magnitude. The worst part is that some of these problem might be intermittent and you will be chasing it around in the future. Of course, as a result of the accident, your trade in value will be deminished by thousands of dollars. I would try to trade it as soon as it is out of the shop before the accident gets on the car fax report.
There is no way the car was going to be totaled. The damage was less than 50 percent of the value of the car. The airbags (other than the driver's side) deployed because I had the back seats folded down and was carrying a bunch of computer equipment in the back. The accident really wasn't that bad, as no one was injured and there was no damage to the engine, etc. The majority of the repairs were cosmetic (replacing the front bumper, headlights, grill, and hood) and putting the airbags back.
I am concerned that the car will "never be the same," but that is a worry for another day, since I don't even have the car back, yet. I really just want to know if these types of delays and an 8 week repair time are common.
BTW, I tried calling two BMW dealerships to get the name of an "authorized" repair shop. I called the dealership I purchased the car from and a dealership near where I had the accident. One would not answer the phone, and the other never called me back after I left a message. I waited as long as I could but finally had to make a decision on my own. The repair shop I selected is a "preferred" shop with my insurance company (State Farm), and my family has always been satisfied with shops with that affiliation in the past. If the body shop is to be believed, the car is currently at a certified mechanic to have the computer reset and error messages cleared.
Kat, this has been a siege! I hope that the situation gets resolved to your satisfaction sooner rather than later! Hindsight is of course 20-20, but in the case of seeking l information like preferred repair shops, the southwest regional board here on the 'fest -- Bimmerfest-BMW Forums might be a go to spot to seek information. Just a thought, and if you are not satisfied with the repair it might not hurt to post a question there. Good luck!

A preferred shop with the insurance company simply means that the body shop will work at the set rate of the insurance company, which is usually lower than the dealer's. Also, they might also use after market parts or refurbished parts, you might want to ask them about that.
As far as delays repairing a car that have that much damage, its pretty common. They usually find more and more things broken as they start the job. Good Luck.
Just when I think it can't get any worse...since last Thurs (1/31) the car has been at the local BMW dealership. Whatever shop had it before then could not get all of the error messages to clear, so the manager of the body shop took it to the dealership. And let me tell you, the dealership is none too happy to have my car. Evidently, they don't regularly do business with this shop, and now they are caught in the middle of my situation (I took it upon myself to call the dealership last week and tell them the story). One of the service managers basically told me no one was getting my car back until he gets paid. I'm not sure why he is so paranoid about being paid, but it doesn't really seem like a fair deal that they can keep my $40k+ vehicle over $2200 in parts and labor. To top it off, we are moving, and this dealership is only a few miles from our new home. I'm expecting to be blacklisted after this fiasco, so I'll probably have to drive 40 miles out of my way to get my car serviced once I (if ever) get it back and we move.
I got my insurance company involved yesterday. They told me that, even if I'd had rental coverage, it would have only lasted for 30 days (today is day 61). Exceeding the 30 day limit may have raised a red flag with the insurance, if I'd had the policy, but with the holidays and all, I expected the repair to take more than 30 days (certainly not 60+, though). The claims adjuster looked at my case and said it is very weird. She insists she could not see the estimate, even though I received an electronic copy of the estimate back in Dec. The good news is (or maybe it's bad?), the insurance company has not paid one penny to the collision center.
I did get the collision center to agree to waive my $500 deductible, but the $23/day rental car fee just keeps adding up.
Sounds like its time for a "sit down" with the major players here -- the insurance adjuster, the body shop mgr, the BMW service mgr and yourself to discuss why this is going on and what can resolve the problem. Sixty plus days is really too long -- unless there was far more damage than originally thought -- which brings up yet another problem -- for the car to be fixed and returned. On the rental, it has been my experience that for a long term (over a week or 10 days -- and you have exceeded that) rental the company will give you a reduced price -- you might want to check that. Just from what you have provided it seems like people are all going off in different directions with your car and the fact that the adjuster "can't get" the estimate makes me shake my head.. Good luck with this and please keep us informed as to your progress (or lack thereof).
Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go function:
Relaxed driving even in heavy traffic: Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go function ensures that your BMW remains a predefined distance away from the car ahead, reducing the speed to zero if necessary. When the traffic begins to move again, the system accelerates your BMW - up to your preferred cruising speed if possible.
Active Cruise Control (ACC) with Stop & Go function is primarily intended to serve as a driver assistant on freeways and highways. Three radar sensors with a range of up to 150 metres permanently monitor the road ahead. As you approach a slower vehicle in your lane, the system directs the engine control unit to reduce power output and if necessary apply the brakes to ensure you remain a predefined distance away. If the vehicle ahead stops, ACC with Stop & Go will bring your BMW to a complete standstill too.
When the vehicle ahead moves off again or changes lanes, ACC with Stop & Go increases engine power; if possible, your BMW accelerates to your preferred cruising speed. If the total standstill is longer than three seconds, ACC with Stop & Go requires you to briefly apply the accelerator or press the ACC button to bring your BMW into motion again. If the standstill is briefer than three seconds, acceleration is automatic. Up to four different cruising speeds can be predefined and activated by the press of a button. Minimum cruising speed is 30 km/h; maximum is 180 km/h.
The distance to the vehicle ahead is measured in seconds rather than metres. This ensures that you have adequate reaction time in relation to the speed you are travelling at. ACC with Stop & Go makes driving both more relaxing and safer.
It adjusts your speed if needed on bends, using data from DSC and the navigation system to calculate a safe speed. On multi-lane roads, the system is able to differentiate between vehicles in your lane and in neighbouring lanes. ACC with Stop & Go function can be deactivated at any time by applying the accelerator or brake, giving you complete control over your speed.
It is important to remember that Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go function is not an autopilot. If the vehicle ahead brakes heavily and suddenly, or if the system recognises a critical situation, it alerts the driver with acoustic and optical warnings. Nonetheless, ACC with Stop & Go makes driving in heavy traffic or moving through congestion significantly less tiring.
Sounds like a cool option which I might have gotten (although it would take some getting used to it for me to trust it in traffic). I believe MB calls it "Distronic" (...and a rather expensive option, if I recall).

kat1, sounds like you need to have the body shop paid the dealer first and adjust their estimate for the insurance company's approval. 60+ days without a car for a minor accident is unheard of. I would file a complaint with your inaurance company and with their so called prefered body shop.

I'm back in my Bimmer!!! Got it back today and it looks and drives great! Hood placement is perfect, paint looks great, everything inside in the dash area works...cruise control (going 9 weeks/6000 miles without was miserable), windshield wipers (sorry to the guy on the motorcycle behind me who got sprayed when I tried them out), radio, blinkers, Bluetooth, sunroof, seat heaters, etc. Drove it 70 miles home and no warning lights or errors came up. Engine temperature was exactly where it was before the accident. The speed limit was recently increased to 75 on the last 15 or so miles of my commute, and it was such a joy to drive it!
Of course, as I was driving the rental to work for the last time today, the windshield got hit by a rock and was dinged :/. Just paid the $50 for a repair rather than risk the rental company trying to bill be for a new windshield.
I'm just so happy to have the car back and (as far as I can tell) in good as new condition!
All's well that ends well! Glad you got your ride back! Enjoy.
