Real Madrid superstar striker Gareth Bale
2017 Champions League Final: Real Madrid's Gareth Bale update
Twenty-seven-year-old Gareth Bale has not played for Real Madrid since tearing a calf muscle against FC Barcelona on 23 April. However, Wales forward Bale has resumed training at Real Madrid but has not trained with his team-mates. Real Madrid face mighty Italian Serie A Champions Juventus in the 2017 Champions League Final on 3 June in Bale's home city of Cardiff, Wales. Real beat city rivals Atletico Madrid on aggregate to reach the 2017 Champions League final for a second successive season.Bale was not involved when Real traveled to Celta Viga on Wednesday when Real Madrid came away with a 4-1 win, replacing FC Barcelona at the top of the Spanish La Liga Table.
Bale, 27, came off with a calf injury after 39 minutes in Real's 3-2 El Clasico defeat by Barcelona in April. Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane is looking forward to Bale's return to form and said his side are a better when injured forward Gareth Bale plays.
"It's not the time to talk about the Champions League final," said Zinedine Zidane. "He's much better and has already been out training. He's recovering and there's time for him to be ready for the final. I hope he's ready before and I hope he can be with us more than anything. We're a better team when he plays."
It is the second injury Bale has sustained this season after he was sidelined for four months after the superstar Welshman hurt his ankle in Real Madrid's 2-1 Champions League win at Sporting Lisbon in November.
Swansea City boss Paul Clement says Real Madrid will be desperate for Bale to be fit for the final. Clement was Carlo Ancelotti's assistant when Real Madrid won the Champions League in 2014, with Bale scoring the decisive second goal in a 4-1 final win over city rivals Atletico Madrid.
"I know he's fighting to be fit for that and I hope he is," said Clement. It would be great for him to come back, he's one of their best players.He's done fantastically well over the last couple of years. He's won it twice already, It would be an amazing achievement to be at a club for four years and win three Champions Leagues. That would be outstanding.It's great for Wales. You've got two great teams and a great event coming to this country."

Out and About
This look is perfect for those days that you need to run errands. I had this Mango dress for almost 4 years now. I always emphasize the importance of keeping clothes that you can wear 3-5 years from the time of purchase. I had this dress for almost 4 years now and it's one my favorite piece.
If we have comfort food, I have comfort clothes..I considered this as of my "comfort clothes." It's so comfy. I saw Anne Curtis wore the same dress.. I always love her style, so the more reason I keep this dress in it's pristine condition..hahahah

"We didn't like the sub, Mrs. Taylor," my students complained.
"Why not?"
"She didn't do the voices in the book right."
This from fifth graders!? Fifth graders who were old enough to not believe in reading magic but -- did. Because for them, the story we were reading aloud, The Merlin Effect by T.A. Barron, existed in a magical place where Merlin was real, and the characters were alive. And the sub didn't get it right.
The power of reading aloud!

It's not as hard as you might think. Channel your inner actor.

The University of Kentucky started its eight-week second summer session on Thursday, and several members of UK's 2010 recruiting class arrived in Lexington to begin classes and workouts.
UK doesn't release an official list of players who are summer enrollees, but so far a handful have been confirmed to be on campus: place-kicker Joe Mansour, linebacker Avery Williamson, running back Raymond Sanders, tight end Alex Smith (who arrived for the first summer session in May), tight end Ronnie Shields, defensive back Eric Simmons, defensive tackle Brice Laughlin and defensive back Eric Simmons.
Another player who's in town is late signee Jewell Ratliff, a 6-foot-1, 236-pounder from New Orleans. Ratliff, a two-star recruit by Rivals.com, originally committed to Louisiana-Lafayette but didn't sign because he had yet to be approved academically by the NCAA Eligibility Center. Once Ratliff was cleared shortly after national signing day in February, he received offers from Arkansas, Texas Tech, East Carolina and Oklahoma State but decided to sign with UK in mid-March. Ratliff's high school teammate, quarterback Theltus Cobbins, has committed to Kentucky's 2011 recruiting class.
Mansour, a LaGrange, Ga., product, is being counted on to provide immediate dividends in UK's kicking game. But Mansour said he's just trying to get acclimated to college life. He's got a built-in support system in fellow LaGrange products Qua Huzzie, Tristian Johnson and Randall Burden.
"I know everybody's counting on me coming in and doing big things, but I'm not really thinking about that right now," he said. "I'm just trying to learn about my new teammates and get better. We've just been hanging out in the dorm, playing Xbox, eating lunch and getting to know each other. Qua's really been helping me out and keeping me in line with classes and all that stuff."
Mansour can also punt, but with Ryan Tydlacka expected to handle those duties Mansour will likely focus on place-kicking.
Sanders, ranked the nation's 15th-best all-purpose back by Rivals.com, could challenge for a backup spot behind starter Derrick Locke.
"I'm just trying to work hard and earn what I get," Sanders said. "I want a spot, so there's going to be no mercy. Being here early is really helping me adjust as far as time management and balancing classes with working out and football."
Perhaps the biggest culture shock for the rookies is the workouts with strength and conditioning coach Rock Oilver.
"I think a lot of guys are trying to get used to getting up early," Sanders said. "We had to get up for a 6 a.m. run the other day. Coach Rock is tough, but he cares about us and is going to make us better."
Several other freshmen are expected to arrive later in June, including Georgia defensive end Nermin Delic, who will be Mansour's roommate, and Sanders' high school teammate, linebacker Jabari Johnson.
At least four signees are still working toward trying to get eligible in 2010. Junior-college safety Mychal Bailey is taking two classes at Southern Union State Community College with hopes of arriving in Lexington later in the summer, according to Steve Pardue, his former prep coach at LaGrange (Ga.) High.
Bailey originally signed with UK in 2007 before enrolling at Southwest Mississippi Community College.
Another player who originally signed in 2007, Donte Rumph, is also still trying to get himself cleared to enroll. Rumph spent the last two seasons at Fork Union Military Academy. A pair of linebackers, Central's Tim Patterson and Columbia, S.C., native Farrington Huguenin, also have some work to do to get into school.
Mitchell recommits to UK
Powder Springs, Ga., tight end Terrell Mitchell, who signed with UK in 2009 before ending up at Georgia Military Academy, has committed to the Wildcats' 2011 recruiting class according to Catspause.com.
Mitchell redshirted this past season at GMC because of a hand injury and will have three seasons of eligibility when he arrives in Lexington. Mitchell was listed as a three-star recruit out of high school. Scout.com had him as the nation's No. 24 tight end while Rivals.com had him No. 35.
Mitchell is Kentucky's 10th known commitment for 2011. The other players committed are: South Carolina WR Antonio Cannon; New Orleans QB Theltus Cobbins; Eastern TE Jon Davis; East St. Louis safety Glen Faulkner; Paducah Tilghman WR Josh Forrest; Bryan Station OL Darrian Miller; California QB Max Smith; Alabama WR Darien Thomas; and East St. Louis DT Clint Tucker.
Raiding USC?
The news that Southern Cal juniors and seniors are free to transfer without having to sit out a year because of the recent NCAA sanctions no doubt has coaching staffs across the country checking out the possibility of adding a player or two from the Trojans' talent-stocked roster. The NCAA ruled that schools are allowed to initiate contact with any USC player eligible to transfer.
According to the Seattle Times, the Pac-10 also recently ruled that it will not waive its transfer rules to allow USC players to transfer within the conference, meaning that any Trojan who wants to play in a BCS Conference will have to travel east.
While there are a couple of intriguing possibilities, don't expect UK to get in the mix with any Trojans. The name of well-traveled quarterback Mitch Mustain, a five-star prospect out of high school who's currently behind starter Matt Barkley, popped up in transfer rumors. But Mustain told the Orange County Register this week that he has no plans to leave USC.
While upperclassmen are open game, schools are not allowed to contact incoming freshmen who have signed a letter of intent. True freshman running back Dillon Baxter said this week that five schools, including Florida, illegally contacted him after USC's penalties were announced. Florida has denied the allegation.
UK is one of many schools that offered a scholarship to USC freshman Markeith Ambles, who was ranked as the nation's third-best receiver out of high school. But Ambles' father told GaVarsity.com that his son is going to wait and talk to school officials before making a decision about his future.
The Wildcats would definitely be interested in a receiver the caliber of Ambles, but they'd also likely be competing with schools such as Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Notre Dame and the many other high-profile programs who offered Ambles out of high school.

Hoek, van der, family
Van der Hoek is a Mennonite family living at Broek near Joure, Dutch province of Friesland, many of whose members have served as deacons of the Joure congregation. The ancestor was Homme Jeltes, born at Irnsum, Friesland, in 1575. In 1813 they adopted the family name of van der Hoek. Two members were preachers: Atze Wybes van der Hoek, died 1835, untrained minister serving Edam 1791-1796 and Twisk-Abbekerk 1796-1835, and his cousin Wybe Hommes van der Hoek, born 1790, died 15 August 1875, at Wolvega, appointed ministerial candidate by the church board of Twisk in 1812, serving Aalsmeer as a candidate 1812-1814, as a minister 1814-1815, Grouw "Kleine Huis" 1815-1819, Wieringen 1819-1823, and Kromwal Ytens 1823-1862. In 1831-1838 he also served the Kleinzand congregation of Sneek. In 1849 he addressed the Executive Committee of the Conference in Friesland on behalf of provisions to be made for Mennonites living in towns where there was no congregation.

We are dedicating this beer to Jim's brother Rob, who recently survived a near death experience.

furniture. Wednesday , July 12th , 2017 - 12:52:32 PM
Every piece of furniture in this collection was designed to stand out but not in a striking and opulent manner. The Isadora chair, for example, is defined by sinuous lines, smooth lines and gentle curves as well as an overall graceful charm that offers it a strong and sensitive personality.
If you're not ready to commit to a solid room divider designed to stay in place for a very long time or until you decide to renovate, the alternative would be a modular and mobile divider such as the Build system. These modules are sold individually and have quirky geometric shapes. They can be combined in lots of different ways and they can be organized in a lot of funky ways. Use them to build walls that divide your space or use them as standalone pieces. If you're not happy with the design you can reconfigure it in a few minutes.
Actually, a pair of coffee tables can be a viable option for seating areas that are simply too large for a single coffee table. A large and curved sectional such as this one forms a wide gap in front of it which can be filled in a functional and stylish manner by two or even three tables.

Most people look at a rocket mounted on a helicopter and their imaginations end there. In Libya, rebels seeking to oust dictator Moammar Gadhafi don't have that luxury. They see rocket pods and think: that would look good mounted on my flatbed truck.
Our pal Brian Conley's Alive In Libya website brings us this video, in which Abdulsalam Elshein of the "Free Libya Martyrs Brigade" explains how his colleagues in the city of Dorna stripped captured helicopters of their rockets and outfitted them on trucks the rebels drive to fight Gadhafi's forces. (Elshein refers to these as "C5 rockets," but I think he might mean the Soviet-made S-5 model.) Anti-Gadhafi machinists welded the rocket pods to the back of Elshein's unarmored truck. Instant missile launcher, Mad Max-style.
"It is an effective weapon with high accuracy targeting," Elshein says, "and praise be to God, it has an effect on the enemy." (Translation is here.)
This is hardly the only example of Libya's DIY weapons tech. Some string together Grad rocket pods, power them with a car battery and fire them with harvested doorbells. Others scavenge ancient guns and artillery out of decaying army depots, ending up with antique Lee-Enfield bolt action rifles. They don't have much experience placing accurate fires, and Elshein admits he doesn't have much training on his new rocket-enhanced truck.
But still, on Monday, they broke free of Gadhafi's siege of Misurata and started marching to Tripoli. Score one for DIY.

Carl Edwards and Travis Pastrana represent US at ROC 2010 – Click above to watch video after the jump
The 2010 Race of Champions, a motorsports event with global intrigue, is scheduled for November 27-28 and will be held at the ESPRIT arena in Düsseldorf, Germany. There are currently eight confirmed drivers gunning to be the number one worldwide wheelman.
Representing the United States will be 2007 NASCAR Champion Carl Edwards and 11-time X-Games Gold Medalist Travis Pastrana. Edwards ran in the 2008 ROC event along with Tanner Foust, who replaced Patrana after the rally-racer broke his hip a week prior to the event. Pastrana has competed in the Race of Champions as far back as 2005, including a stint in 2006 where he drove every round for the Stars and Stripes. Both Jimmie Johnson and Scott Speed were injured that year with no replacements lined up. Pastrana still managed to come in second that year.
The Race of Champions was started back in 1988 by rally extraordinaire Michèle Mouton and IMP president Frederik Johnsson. The goal was to find out who was the best rally driver, but the competition has expanded to allow competitors from all types of motorsport disciplines. In addition to Pastrana and Edwards, we know that Michael Schumacher, Alain Prost, Sébastien Loeb, Sebastian Vettel, Tom Kristensen and Andy Priaulx are all confirmed for the 2010 ROC.
Mark the date on your calendars now because that lineup (plus more drivers to be announced) is sure to provide plenty of breathtaking displays of driving precision, and hit the jump for a video.

1995 Ford ScorpioReview
Best Value "ugly" Luxury Car — Funny looking...but neverthless the design looks better now than it looked in the 90's. Weird design of Ford Scorpio 1995 got him a title of the ugliest car in those days. Nowadays, with all cars having "space" designs it really looks allright! Also, marked as "best value executive car"...a lot of comfort and luxury for a small amount of money!
Pros: comfort, luxury, "driving feel"
Cons: design, spare parts

Of course we give our take on the events of Brexit. Now that the decision for the UK to leave the EU is 'apparently' taken, a note of caution reflects the numerous attempts in such a close race (48% to 52%) to walk the decision back, which we describe below. At its most dramatic, there are calls for London's newly elected mayor to seek a referendum to win 'independence for London' which city overwhelmingly voted to remain in the EU. That isn't going to happen. The days of city states are long gone, other than such as Singapore. Yet the prospects for the historic United Kingdom are fraught, with pro-remain Scotland refusing to accept being a part of the UK's anticipated withdrawal from the EU and Northern Ireland being wooed by the EU member, The Irish Republic.
There is some 'meat on the bone' with various approaches towards reversing the fateful decision, described here in 'Brexit the Outcome,' which aims to give the current position in a wide-ranging, rapidly moving scenario. The nation's two largest political parties are currently in something of a shambles with new leadership issues in both, dominating are news of the political scene.
We do allow ourselves some space for reflection. It is apparent that the Brexiters had no plan beyond June 23d the referendum day. We ask what is it exactly, that the British now want for themselves, after 43 successful and rather prosperous years in the EU?
But we also return to the wider geopolitical scene with an article by Sara Bielecki, examining the 'the OTHER EU', that is the Moscow-dominated EEU, the EURASIAN ECONOMIC UNION. Little is heard of this project, other than in the context of Ukraine, reflecting that it is hardly a runaway success, but we take a closer look and discuss what it's done or failed to do so far.
Also something about its plans for expansion!
Finally, a longer than usual look at the current IRAQ-SYRIA situation, which stories clearly are interlocked, but seldom treated as such by the world media. It's time for that to change, we maintain. This fast moving story ignores historic frontiers, as ISIS has clearly demonstrated.

"Great Britain has lost an
empire and has not yet found a role"
US Secretary of State Dean Acheson, speaking at West Point on 1stJanuary 1963.
Back in 1973 after various rebuffs, including being earlier vetoed twice, a UK
keen to join 'Europe' was admitted to membership of the European Community,
currently The European Union, it's membership confirmed by UK citizens in a 1975
US Secretary of State Acheson's prescient comment, followed an abortive last act of empire in 1956 when together with France and Israel, the UK military invaded the Suez canal zone. The United States had not been notified until the invasion was in progress and collectively was not amused. Indeed, the then President, General Dwight Eisenhower was said to be incensed and certainly made it clear that the US (a former colony itself), had not fought the World War to enable the shattered empires of it's European allies to be rebuilt. This episode definitively closed down Britain's long imperial era, which took off three centuries ago, after the Act of Union of England with Scotland of 1707, that created the United Kingdom. [continues...]
In 2010, the Kremlin initiated
and established the project for a Customs Union and a Common Economic Space
between itself, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. This quickly developed into a broader,
more ambitious project for a Eurasian Union, a free trade zone that would,
hopefully, extend to Russia's former satellites, intending to allow the Eastern
sphere to act as a counterweight to the EU, encompassing a $2.7 trillion economy
and a population of 170 million people. When the plans were proposed, they
immediately conjured up images of the Cold War and Western observers decried the
plans as Soviet revanchism.
However, dreams of a Soviet Union redux began to unhinge, when Ukraine, presumed by Putin to be an obvious signatory to the union, in fact veered towards the Eastern Partnership led by the EU, despite considerable pressure from Moscow to embrace the union of its former Soviet comrades. Indeed, it was these plans for an EEU Association Agreement in 2012, that precipitated the unravelling of the Russia - backed Yanukovych regime and the Euro-Maiden protests, when it became evident that Yanukovych, pliant to Western offers of economy sustenance, and domestic pressure to do so, was also attempting to maintain relations with the Kremlin.

Two different but equally absurd
wars resulting from the original sin: the 2003 US led war on Iraq.
The siege around Islamic State (or ISIS for brevity) in Fallujah has drawn media attention back to Iraq. This after the world had seemingly forgotten that the ISIS mess originated in Iraq in the first place, thanks in no small part to the way Washington handled its war from 2003 onwards. The Iraqi Armed Forces, have apparently woken up from the corrupted slumber into which they fell, as US troops were withdrawing in the first years of the Obama administration. They have now led a major offensive throughout the province of Anbar in June. They have fallen short of entering ISIS's stronghold in Iraq because of the Caliphate's use of 'human shields'.

On Sunday, "Mad Men" returns for its seventh season, with a host of questions to be answered and story lines to wrap up in its final 14 episodes.
The AMC period drama is subtler than many on TV, but that doesn't mean it can't deliver a shock when it wants to — as it has with numerous mergers and breakups, engagements and extramarital dalliances over the years.
"Mad Men" creator Matthew Weiner is notoriously tight-lipped about upcoming seasons, but with the cast entering the end of the Swinging '60s and our anti-hero Don Draper (Jon Hamm) still struggling with his identity, we're betting on more shocking moments to come.
So in honor of the Season 7 premiere, here's our list of the top shockers from the past six seasons.
Peggy gives birth to Pete's baby (Season 1)
As Don Draper's secretary at the start of the series, Peggy (Elisabeth Moss) draws the attention of (engaged) junior accounts manager Pete Campbell (Vincent Kartheiser) and the two have sex the night of his bachelor party. Peggy begins to gain weight throughout the season, but doesn't realize she's pregnant until going to the hospital for severe stomach pains (the day she is promoted to junior copywriter). She delivers the baby but refuses to hold it and immediately gives it up for adoption.
Don & Co. leave Sterling Cooper (Season 3)
View video
When Don finds out that Sterling Cooper, bought out by London firm Putnam, Powell and Lowe at the end of season 2, is being sold again to McCann Ericson, he convinces Lane Pryce (Jared Harris) to fire him, Roger (John Slattery) and Bert (Robert Morse) so they can start their own agency (with Lane receiving a partnership). They recruit Peggy, Pete, Joan (Christina Hendricks) and Harry (Rich Sommer) to the new agency, now called Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce.
Don proposes to his secretary (Season 4)
View video
Don takes his kids on a trip to California and asks his secretary Megan (Jessica Pare) to tag along to look after them. Over the course of the weekend, Don decides he is in love with Megan and proposes to her on a whim, and they announce their engagement to the shock of the office (and Don's girlfriend, Faye).
Joan sleeps with a client to land an account (Season 5)
Pete learns that SCDP will land the Jaguar account if Joan sleeps with the head of the dealers' association. The partners reluctantly vote behind Don's back to compensate Joan for the deed with an ownership stake in the company. Don tries to stop Joan from going through with it, but he's too late.
Lane commits suicide (Season 5)
When his Christmas bonus falls through, Lane is forced to steal from SCDP to pay off his tax debt. The partners find out and Don fires Lane — who then hangs himself in his office rather than face the shame of coming clean to his wife and returning to London.
Sally discovers Don's affair (Season 6)
View video
It was only a matter of time before Don's philandering ways caught up with him. When daughter Sally (Kiernan Shipka) goes to the apartment to retrieve a letter, she catches her dad having sex with neighbor Sylvia (Linda Cardellini), and runs out of the room. The incident causes a rift in their relationship.
Don gets fired from SC&P (Season 6)
View video
When we last left the "Mad Men" crew, Don was forced to take an open-ended leave of absence for blowing the Hershey's pitch with the story of his depressing childhood, removing what has been a central part of his identity for the duration of the series. What will he be without his job? What will the firm be without him? Answers (hopefully) forthcoming in the Season 7 premiere.

It was midmorning, and a man and his wife sat down at the stools next to me and we all ordered coffee and doughnuts from the waitress who was naked from the waist up.
For your columnist, it was just another morning in pursuit of cultural enrichment in Fort Lauderdale.
The man next to me - an articulate gent who gave his name only as Pat - said he didn`t see any reason to be offended by this latest form of enterprise to find its way to Fort Lauderdale`s South Federal Highway. I agreed.
``I guess it would depend on the neighborhood, but here (on Federal Highway as a place for a topless doughnut shop), it doesn`t seem to be bad,`` he said, looking out at the handful of pickets walking in front of the doughnut shop, which used to be a Burger King.
``You know, we used to live in New England, and people are always asking us why we came down here. I`ll tell you.
``We can go to the Coconut Grove Playhouse one night, we can go to a bikini contest one night, we can go visit a friend who works with retarded children one night, and, if we want to, we can go to a topless doughnut shop. Back in New England, you have to do what everybody else does.
``You wanna know what`s obscene? We almost had a fight last night where we live. Somebody parked in the wrong parking space, and the guy just didn`t know. Anyway, this other guy comes running down like an animal and yells `Get the hell out of that space.`
``That`s obscene. This (doughnut shop) ... this isn`t obscene.``
True, the new topless doughnut shop may not be quite the answer for those of you who have always thought that Fort Lauderdale is a cultural wasteland.

Hans ReichenbachIntroduction by Alan W. Richardson
Hans Reichenbach (1891–1953) was a formidable figure in early-twentieth-century philosophy of science. Educated in Germany, he was influential in establishing the so-called Berlin Circle, a companion group to the Vienna Circle founded by his colleague Rudolph Carnap. The movement they founded—usually known as "logical positivism," although it is more precisely known as "scientific philosophy" or "logical empiricism"—was a form of epistemology that privileged scientific over metaphysical truths. Reichenbach, like other young philosophers of the exact sciences of his generation, was deeply impressed by the far-reaching changes in physics brought about by Einstein's special and general theories of relativity. Reichenbach responded to scientific advances by doing fundamental work in space-time theories, in quantum mechanics, in statistical mechanics, and in the development of probability theory—making him the most important philosopher of physics in the first generation of logical empiricism.
Forced from his academic position by the Nazi race laws in 1933, Reichenbach wrote Experience and Prediction at the University of Istanbul, where had had fled, expressly to introduce logical positivism to English speakers. In the two decades following World War II, during the explosion of scientific advances in North America, logical positivism was the reigning theory of the philosophy of science and Reichenbach was at the peak of his career. But, inevitably, support for logical positivism began to wane as it became obvious that the justification of scientific theories could not be entirely resolved by relying on strictly formal, technical processes.
The growth of the discipline of the history of philosophy of science, which has created an audience of scholars eager for seminal classics in scientific philosophy, and the evidence supporting a historicist paradigm within logical positivism are two important reasons to make Experience and Prediction available once again.
"Hans Reichenbach's Experience and Prediction is one of the most important books in twentieth-century philosophy of science. Its author was, along with Rudolf Carnap, one of the two principal ambassadors to North America of the exciting new European philosophical movement known here under the names 'Logical Positivism' and 'Scientific Philosophy.' In 1938, when the book was published, Reichenbach was an exile from his native Germany, teaching in Istanbul, Turkey, and about to emigrate to the United States to take up a prestigious position at UCLA. He wrote Experience and Prediction in English as his calling card to his new American colleagues. More than any other single book, Experience and Prediction set the agenda for the new discipline of the philosophy of science that was to emerge after World War II as, perhaps, the most exciting new area in North American philosophy. Many of the problems still at the focus of discussion were given their classic formulations in this book. Long out of print, Experience and Prediction appears here in a new edition accompanied by a splendid historical introduction by the noted young philosopher and historian of the philosophy of science, Alan Richardson. A jewel of a book may once again be appreciated in its proper setting." —Don A. Howard, University of Notre Dame
"[O]ne leading task of the new history of logical empiricism is to connect the technical projects characteristic of logical empiricist philosophy of science with more general philosophical visions that give those projects form and content. . . . Reichenbach's explicit attempt in Experience and Prediction to provide the more general epistemological framework for his technical work makes this book invaluable in reflecting on the philosophy of the twentieth century. No work better illuminates Reichenbach's distinctive philosophical point of view. This is reason enough to commend it to the attention of today's philosophical community." —from the Introduction
456 pages
". . . Reprints the classic treatise by German-American philosopher of science Hans Reichenbach (1891-1953). . . . Experience and Prediction breaks down the fundamental conundrums of existence, reduction, projection, construction, the nature of the ego, probability logic, and much more." — Midwest Book Review

On-Board Hydrogen Gas: The Ronn Scorpion HX
By Matt Ellinwood, November 4, 2008
SEMA is in full-swing today, and alternative fuel applications are all the rage. Yesterday, I wrote about air cars, and today I'm blow away by the Ronn Motor Company's Scorpion.
The primary innovation that the Scorpion features is on-board creation of hydrogen gas from water using an electrolysis process. The hydrogen gas is then combined with a more traditional combustion fuel to power the V6, and the result is 600 horsepower and more than 40 projected miles per gallon. I'm sold, but I'm also somewhat short of the $250,000 asking price for the Scorpion HX.

How to Hack
Primarily, hacking was used in the "good old days" for leaking information about systems and IT in general. In recent years, thanks to a few villain actors, hacking has taken on dark connotations. Conversely, many corporations employ hackers to test the strengths and weaknesses of their own systems. These hackers know when to stop, and the positive trust they build earns them a large salary.
If you're ready to dive in and learn the art, this article will share a few tips to help you get started!
Before You Hack
1Learn a programming language. You shouldn't limit yourself to any particular language, but there are a few guidelines.
- C is the language that Unix was built with. It (along with assembly language) teaches something that's very important in hacking: how memory works.
- Python or Ruby are high-level, powerful scripting languages that can be used to automate various tasks.
- Perl is a reasonable choice in this field as well, while PHP is worth learning because the majority of web applications use PHP.
- Bash scripting is a must. That is how to easily manipulate Unix/Linux systems—writing scripts, which will do most of the job for you.
- Assembly language is a must-know. It is the basic language that your processor understands, and there are multiple variations of it. You can't truly exploit a program if you don't know assembly.
2Know your target. The process of gathering information about your target is known as enumeration. The more you know in advance, the fewer surprises you'll have.
1Use a *nix terminal for commands. Cygwin will help emulate a *nix for Windows users. Nmap in particular uses WinPCap to run on Windows and does not require Cygwin. However, Nmap works poorly on Windows systems due to a lack of raw sockets. You should also consider using Linux or BSD, which are both more flexible. Most Linux distributions come with many useful tools pre-installed.
2Secure your machine first. Make sure you've fully understood all common techniques to protect yourself. Start with the basics — but make sure you have authorization to attack your target : either attack your own network, ask for written permission, or set up your own laboratory with virtual machines. Attacking a system, no matter its content, is illegal and WILL get you in trouble.
3Test the target. Can you reach the remote system? While you can use the ping utility (which is included in most operating systems) to see if the target is active, you can not always trust the results — it relies on the ICMP protocol, which can be easily shut off by paranoid system administrators.
4Determine the operating system (OS). Run a scan of the ports, and try pOf, or nmap to run a port scan. This will show you the ports that are open on the machine, the OS, and can even tell you what type of firewall or router they are using so you can plan a course of action. You can activate OS detection in nmap by using the -O switch.
5Find a path or open port in the system. Common ports such as FTP (21) and HTTP (80) are often well protected, and possibly only vulnerable to exploits yet to be discovered.
- Try other TCP and UDP ports that may have been forgotten, such as Telnet and various UDP ports left open for LAN gaming.
- An open port 22 is usually evidence of an SSH (secure shell) service running on the target, which can sometimes be brute forced.
6Crack the password or authentication process. There are several methods for cracking a password, including brute force. Using brute force on a password is an effort to try every possible password contained within a pre-defined dictionary of brute force software
- Users are often discouraged from using weak passwords, so brute force may take a lot of time. However, there have been major improvements in brute-force techniques.
- Most hashing algorithms are weak, and you can significantly improve the cracking speed by exploiting these weaknesses (like you can cut the MD5 algorithm in 1/4, which will give huge speed boost).
- Newer techniques use the graphics card as another processor — and it's thousands of times faster.
- You may try using Rainbow Tables for the fastest password cracking. Notice that password cracking is a good technique only if you already have the hash of password.
- Trying every possible password while logging to remote machine is not a good idea, as it's easily detected by intrusion detection systems, pollutes system logs, and may take years to complete.
- You can also get a rooted tablet, install a TCP scan, and get a signal upload it to the secure site. Then the IP address will open causing the password to appear on your proxy.
- It's often much easier to find another way into a system than cracking the password.
7Get super-user privileges. Try to get root privileges if targeting a *nix machine, or administrator privileges if taking on Windows systems.
- Most information that will be of vital interest is protected and you need a certain level of authentication to get it. To see all the files on a computer you need super-user privileges – a user account that is given the same privileges as the "root" user in Linux and BSD operating systems.
- For routers this is the "admin" account by default (unless it has been changed); for Windows, this is the Administrator account.
- Gaining access to a connection doesn't mean you can access everything. Only a super-user, the administrator account, or the root account can do this.
8Use various tricks. Often, to gain super-user status you have to use tactics such as creating a buffer overflow, which causes the memory to dump and that allows you to inject a code or perform a task at a higher level than you're normally authorized.
- In Unix-like systems this will happen if the bugged software has setuid bit set, so the program will be executed as a different user (super-user for example).
- Only by writing or finding an insecure program that you can execute on their machine will allow you to do this.
9Create a backdoor. Once you have gained full control over a machine, it's a good idea to make sure you can come back again. This can be done by backdooring an important system service, such as the SSH server. However, your backdoor may be removed during the next system upgrade. A really experienced hacker would backdoor the compiler itself, so every compiled software would be a potential way to come back.
10Cover your tracks. Don't let the administrator know that the system is compromised. Don't change the website (if any), and don't create more files than you really need. Do not create any additional users. Act as quickly as possible. If you patched a server like SSHD, make sure it has your secret password hard-coded. If someone tries to login with this password, the server should let them in, but shouldn't contain any crucial information.
Community Q&A
How can I hack if I'm a kid?wikiHow ContributorIt's not about how old you are, it's all about the skills you have. Start learning programming languages as soon as possible and you'll be on your way to hacking.
If you hacked a game to get a higher level, would that be considered illegal?wikiHow ContributorIt depends on what kind of game it is. If it's local, it shouldn't get you banned and it's not illegal. If it's online, it may get you banned, and though it's not really considered illegal, you could still possibly get into trouble. If you're cheating/stealing purchases made with real money, yes, it is illegal. So be careful.
What happens if I hack illegally?wikiHow ContributorIf you get caught and are in America, you can be sentenced to federal prison for five to 10 years.
Where can you get started practicing hacking?wikiHow ContributorSearch for "hacking practice" and you'll find several websites set up for legal hacking practice. If you don't know any programming, however, you should focus on those skills first.
How many programming languages do I need to learn to be able to hack?wikiHow ContributorSure, you can code malware in Ruby, password cracker in Python, buffer overflows in C, but you need to understand the logic behind it. The logic is all yours and that is what is important. So, forget about learning coding, first learn how to think logically to exploit the gaps, insecurities and lazy errors.
I forgot my Mac computer password, how do I hack my way in?wikiHow ContributorOn a Mac (OS X 10.7+), hold down Command + R on startup to enter Recovery Mode. There will be a screen that says "OS X Utilities". Go up to the Utilities toolbar and click on "Terminal". Type in "resetpassword" and a screen will come up saying which hard drive the user whose password you want to reset is on. Just select your internal hard drive then select the account you want to change. Type in a new password (write it down!) and confirm it. Just restart your computer and you should be able to login to your account with the password you created. If your Mac is running Snow Leopard or below, just use the restore disk that came with your computer.
What do you do if you're a beginner?wikiHow ContributorDo you know how to code? If not, start with that. Otherwise, read blogs about hackers, try to find a new bug in the software.
What if you don't know any coding or anything specific? How will I know if someone is hacking into you?wikiHow ContributorNotice any changes. Look for new suspicious files and check your browser history. Also consider running your antivirus.
How can I hack a PC without knowing a programming language?wikiHow ContributorYou can't. You would have to know a programming language in order to hack, you need to start with the basics, coding. Then you could move on to the most important things, like covering your tracks.
What if I hack my own computer, is that illegal?wikiHow ContributorNo, you are doing so with your permission, so it's not technically "hacking."
Ask a Question
- Unless you're an expert or a professional hacker, using these tactics on a popular corporate or government computer is asking for trouble. Keep in mind there are people a bit more knowledgeable than you who protect these systems for a living. Once found, they sometimes monitor intruders to let them incriminate themselves first before legal action is taken. This means you might think you have free access after hacking into a system, when in fact, you're being watched, and may be stopped at any moment.
- Hackers are those who built the Internet, made Linux, and work on open source software. It's advisable to look into hacking as it's quite respected and requires a lot of professional knowledge to do anything serious in real environments.
- Keep in mind, if your target is not doing their best to keep you out, you won't ever become good. Of course, don't get cocky, don't think about yourself as the best of the best. Make this your goal: you must become better and better. Every day that you didn't learn something new is a wasted day. You are all that counts. Become best, at any cost. There are no half-ways, you must give fully of yourself. As Yoda would say, "Do or do not. There is no try."
- Although it's great that there are many legal, safe training grounds available for anyone, the sad truth is that you won't become even mediocre if you don't perform potentially illegal actions. You can't become anyone if you won't find real problems on real systems, with the real risk of getting caught. Keep that in mind.
- Remember, hacking is not about breaking into computers, getting a well-paid job, selling exploits on the black market, nor helping anyone compromise secure machines. You're nothere to help the admin do his job. You're here to become the best.
- Read books discussing TCP/IP networking.
- There is a major difference between a hacker and a cracker. A cracker is motivated by malicious (namely: money) reasons, while hackers attempt to retrieve information and gain knowledge through exploration – ("bypassing security"), at any cost and in any way which may not always be legal.
- Practice first by hacking into your own computer.
- If you aren't confident with your skills, avoid from breaking into corporate, government, or military networks. Even if they have weak security, they could have a lot of money to trace and bust you. If you do find a hole in such network, it's best to hand it to a more experienced hacker that you trust who can put these systems to good use.
- Never do anything just for fun. Remember it's not a game to hack into a network, but a power to change the world. Don't waste that on childish actions.
- Be extremely careful if you think you have found a very easy crack or a crude mistake in security management. A security professional protecting that system may be trying to trick you or setting up a honeypot.
- Although you may have heard the opposite, don't help anyone patch their programs or systems. This is considered extremely lame and leads to being banned from most hacking communities, and if you would release a private exploit someone found, this person may become your enemy. This person is probably better than you are.
- Don't delete entire logfiles, instead, just remove only the incriminating entries from the file. The other question is, is there a backup log file? What if they just look for differences and find the exact things you erased? Always think about your actions. The best thing is to delete random lines of log, including yours.

- Hacking into someone else's system may be illegal, so don't do it unless you are sure you have permission from the owner of the system you are trying to hack or you are sure it's worth it and you won't get caught.

We are spending Christmas vacation at home this year, which is utterly delightful. We've been able to slow down, play with Legos, remote controlled cars and chemistry sets, and otherwise lollygag about. I've also had the opportunity to take a little time to myself, whiling away long mornings and afternoons in random downtown coffee shops.
I have always loved coffee shop loitering — it's the perfect kind of solitude, alone and among people, observing and observed. A four or five hour block in a coffee shop, ideally outside my neighborhood so I feel the invigorating chill of complete anonymity, is enough for me to feel the early onset of loneliness.
And I miss feeling lonely, as strange as that may sound — it's like the dark shadows in a charcoal drawing that lends a picture depth, or maybe like the acidic developing agent that renders a photograph crisp. Early stage loneliness — ESL, I will call it — is the dark room of revelation, at least it has been in my life. It's now something that I need to remind myself to experience, to schedule, to fight for. This is particularly true in my stage of life, with young, beautiful, vulnerable children and a young, beautiful, vulnerable business (true of all young children and businesses) and a young, beautiful, growing marriage, all of which require intense and constant communication. It's an extraordinary experience — I deeply admire my colleagues and friends and family and relish the process. But a decade could easily pass without my feeling even a flicker of loneliness. Which would mean, as I see it, not fully digesting, or perhaps even comprehending, this period in my life.
I think there is such a thing as optimal loneliness: we need enough emotional comfort to avoid the distraction of insecurity, but not so much that we are anesthetized. Too much love and belonging may be like too much heat — it leaves us languorous, listless. Not enough, of course, is much worse.
What I am realizing is that I need to refine my emotional climate control a bit better in 2010, bring down the emotional temperature a few degrees. I am prescribing myself ten hours of solitude, once per month, a little like cracking the window.

I have spent some time today putting together a tutorial for a project I designed a couple of months back. It looks like a book but opens up to be a set of 8 cards, a beautiful gift to give to someone!
This was my 'prototype' one
This next one is the one I made so I could photograph the steps to make the tutorial. On this one I decided not to put sentiments on the cards, but instead, make it so each card had a space for a sentiment and then supplied a number of sentiments that were prestamped and punched and the reciprient of the gift could choose the sentiment they wanted.
If you would like to purchase a tutorial for this project you can, for just $6
You can pay by PAYPAL by following THIS link

I won a big prize in a magazine
A night in Ramsay Street with what's-his-name and Charlene
I sat there eagerly with my private invitation
My thoughts were filled with bizarre initiations
This couple oh-so-sweet, naive and innocent
Their ideas of fornication makes Lady Di look bent
Thought they'd be hip to smack, maybe enjoy a whack
But they were real nice kids so I tried a different tack
I pumped up their hearts with love and mind expanding drugs
And made a proposition with a rubber glove
I thought they'd need convincing
Then Kylie started mincing
And Jason was expanding
When I said I'd ride 'em tandem.
Jason and Kylie menage a trois me
Let's get together and we'll practice making babies
Jason can play Ken, Kylie plays Barbie
And when I start playing Rin Tin Tin
They'll both learn how to doggie. (Ruff ruff ruff! )
And they called it puppy love
I'll be Mrs Mangle with a revolutionary French blender
Kylie can be the Bastille and then Jason can defend her
And poor old Daphne in a car crash died
Now maggots eat her corpse from the inside
They're just as good in bed as on the TV screen
Young intellectuals will know what I mean
Kylie and Jason, let's play Freemasons
I'll chase you 'round the house while you wear silly aprons
I'll be the wife who doesn't understand
It's not the clothes that make the man it's the handshake
1-2, 1-2-3, 1-2-3-4, hey, hey!
Jason and Kylie, et tu brute
They're just like free range eggs, they're a damn good lay
We made real fine threesome, each one of us inside us
And when you root like that, nothing can divide us!
1-2, 1-2-3, Jason and Kylie for me!
Lyrics taken from http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/d/doug_anthony_all_stars/kylie_jason.html

Halliburton, a global company that offers services and products to the oil industry, started in 1919 in Duncan, Oklahoma under the leadership of Erle P. Halliburton. His original company consisted of a wagon, mixing box and a pump and offered oil well cementing. In 2007, the company established Eastern and Western Hemisphere operations and divided itself into two divisions, Completion and Production, and Drilling and Evaluation.Continue Reading
The 1930s brought Halliburton's first research laboratories. These laboratories saw experiments in perfecting cement mixes, breaking down limestone formations through acids, and increasing oil and gas production. The company also earned its first off-shore cementing job, which took place in the Creole Field in the Gulf of Mexico.
During the 1940s, the company expanded its scope of operations into Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and the Middle East. In 1946, the company began working with the Arabian-American Oil Company. In 1951, Halliburton began a subsidiary in Italy named Halliburton Italiana SpA, and within the next seven years set up a German subsidiary, Halliburton Company Germany GmbH.
In 1984, Halliburton began work on an oil rig off the shore of China, and in 1986, the company became the first American company to work an oilfield job in China. In 1991, following the end of the Cold War tensions, Halliburton opened an office in Moscow, Russia.Learn more about Corporations

The Parole Board says the man acquitted of murdering Feilding farmer Scott Guy is to have his first parole hearing on Tuesday.
Ewen Macdonald was sentenced to five years prison in August for vandalising Mr Guy's home, poaching two trophy stags, killing 19 calves, carrying out two arsons and deliberately spilling 16,000 litres of milk from a vat.
Macdonald is eligible for parole as he has served a third of his sentence, much of it while he was on remand before and during the trial.
The Parole Board said that if he is denied parole on Tuesday, he will face another hearing next year.

Excellent post by TPC. He points out that consumers are still deleveraging, and I think that is exactly what needs to happen. He does clarify that in addendum 1 at the end. I am not posting this to advocate any particular policy response, but to point out a trend. If the US government were to follow an austerity path then this contraction in consumer debt would continue (probably mostly by defaults instead of paying down of debt), but the economy (which is still heavily driven by the consumer) would collapse at the same rate if not faster. This has absolutely nothing to do with QE. Consumers are deleveraging and will continue to do so whatever the Fed thinks the 'appropriate' monetary policty will be. What will affect the rate of consumer deleveraging is fiscal policy targeted at Main Street, not Wall Street. That is what should be paid attention to here.As investors who pay attention to the macroeconomy, this is bears watching closely.
------------------------------------------------------THE BALANCE SHEET RECESSION CONTINUES10 June 2011 by Cullen Rochehttp://pragcap.com/the-balance-sheet-recession-continues-2This may very well be the most important data point that we are currently receiving every quarter. Yesterday's Z1 released by the Federal Reserve showed a continuing decline in household credit. The latest reading showed a -2% decline in total household debt growth versus last year. The Fed summarized the data: "Household debt declined at an annual rate of 2 percent in the first quarter; it has contracted in each quarter since the first quarter of 2008. Home mortgage debt fell at an annual rate of 3½ percent in the first quarter, ¾ percentage point more than the decline posted last year. Consumer credit rose 2½ percent at an annual rate in the first quarter, the second consecutive quarterly increase."Total household debt continues to declineFrustratingly, I've been discussing this dynamic for well over 2 years now. In early 2009 I wrote about why this wasn't the banking crisis that Ben Bernanke thought it was, why the aid package would likely fail to help Main Street (it focused too much on Wall St) and why we were remarkably similar to Japan: "Unfortunately, our leaders have misdiagnosed our problem as a banking crisis and not a Main Street crisis. We have ignored the real root cause of the problem which lies not with the bank balance sheets, but with the household balance sheets. As I have long maintained, we are looking more and more like Japan and the balance sheet recession they suffered. While we ignore Main Street in favor of Wall Street it's likely that the recession on Main Street will endure…."Being a consumer driven economy this decline in debt remains the most important component of our economic plight. As I've previously explained, the collapse in consumer debt has been the primary cause of weak economic growth. Consumers took on excessive debt levels during the housing boom and when housing prices collapsed their balance sheets were turned upside down. Consumers were left with excessive debt, collapsing aggregate incomes and a subsequent balance sheet recession. The overall result is that consumers are still working to pay down this debt and remain in saving mode as opposed to debt accumulation and spending mode.This is a highly unusual event that has only been seen on rare occasion in developed economies over the last 100 years. As this process occurs there is only one entity that can help to stabilize the economy – the US Federal government. As we know from the sectoral balances, when the private sector is in saving mode and not spending mode (due to debt reduction) and the current account remains in deficit, there is only one sector that can offset this weakness in an attempt to create economic growth. That is the public sector. Thus far, we've managed to fend off the austerity chatter, however, the risks appear to be on the rise as government officials become convinced that the United States is bankrupt (something that is fundamentally impossible).This is the exact situation we have seen in Japan for the last 20 years and it is currently occurring in much of Europe. If the United States implements a policy of austerity there is little doubt that the economy would continue to contract again, unemployment would increase and the economic malaise would worsen. By my estimates, this situation is likely to persist well into 2012 and perhaps longer depending on how the economic environment progresses.—————————————————————————* Addendum 1 - It's important to note that the consumer debt reduction process is a good development. It is necessary to help build the foundation for a sustainable recovery. Consumer debt accumulation in moderate levels should been seen as a good thing. Unfortunately, it was the excessive debt binge that caused our current predicament. As this process heals over the years we should embrace it and accept it as a necessary part of the natural economic progression following a debt bubble. That requires a unique policy response and a particularly important need to focus on Main Street's woes and not Wall Street's woes.** Addendum 2 – Because monetary policy works largely to increase the debt levels and by helping the banking sector, it can actually be detrimental to this natural healing process during a balance sheet recession. This is why we should reject further Fed intervention in the markets and encourage Congress to look into potential aid packages such as a reduction in taxes.*** Addendum 3 – Scott Fullwiler wrote a spectacular piece on sectoral balances here. This should really help clarify what is going on today. Scott Fullwiler for Treasury Secretary? :-)
My bank, through my "personal banker", called me last week to see if I needed any loans. We own our cars and home and have no home equity line of credit. He seemed disappointed that I did not want to add a line of credit. Would I consider restructuring the one, small loan we have with the bank for a recreational property? No thanks. In fact, I plan to pay it off earlier than expected. His audible disappointment may have been part of the sales strategy, or it may have been genuine after a string of similar calls.
The Roche article documents my financial actions since 2008, though I've always leaned against personal debt that could not be covered by at least two methods - income, savings, or other investments.
I am a boomer. I do not believe I will see my real estate holdings appreciate anywhere close to the levels of the past two decades. According to Money Magazine a couple months ago, workers in my age range saw a loss of 500K jobs while jobs recovered over the past 10 months.
If any proposal like Paul Ryan's passes, I'll get a health care stipend in lieu of Medicare, and my expected Social Security will be cut by at least $2K per year. $2K lost income, $3K extra to pay for a private health policy, and I now need at least $7K more before taxes per year in each year of retirement. Throw in future taxes for all this Bernanke debt and every boomer is looking at maybe $10K of annual income needed for saving irresponsible banks that Shiela Baer should have been allowed to dimantle three years ago.
And as much as we all love Reagan, us boomers and our employers have been paying the hefty SS tax increase for most of our careers. The security that tax increase provided for the WWII generation was an honorable commitment for boomers, but "pay as you go" is a catchphrase that masks the ponzi character of Social Security. Like a giant Tetris game with life-altering ramifications, the top layer of Social Security, Medicare, and debt that now exceeds that of all previous presidents combined, is speeding up and topping out.
Not to be confused with weinergate, but the goal of most taxpayers, and especially boomers, has got to be to store as many long, straight ones to clear out the coming threats.
This is what Cullen Roche has documented, and explains why Bernanke's live dissertation experiment is not gaining traction, and will not gain traction. Nice find, binve.
Hey amass,
Excellent comment, and I very much agree.
>>This is what Cullen Roche has documented, and explains why Bernanke's live dissertation experiment is not gaining traction, and will not gain traction.
Exactly, if the stimulus was simply distributed over US households instead of the banks then household debt would have been erased, the housing crisis over, and the remainder would have been spent resulting in a stimulated economy.
Instead, they spent it on jackass ideas like Green Tech that kills jobs and increases household costs.
Not the brightest lights in Washington during the 111th Congress. Let's hope the 112th does better!
Yep. Take the current temporary payroll tax cut and turn it into a payroll tax holiday for both employers and employees. Since most employees pay more in payroll taxes than they do in income taxes this would directly help employees. And since the largest employers in the economy are small business owners, it would help them too.
This would be super easy to implement (just stop the withholding, it could start next week) and directly help those who need it the most.
exactly binve,
This is what they should have done long ago but they need to make it a permanent change not a short term fix. They also need to kill capital gains taxation and the tax on interest.
