Halloween at G5, feat. Nosebleed, Benderheads, Unmaker, Haybaby, Chicki Parm, Niche Brand, hosted by Michael Smith @ Gallery 5 – $8 in advance/$10 at the door (order tickets HERE)
Bonfires burning bright, pumpkin faces in the night… it's Halloween once again, and in classic Richmond fashion, we'll be doing it up right, regardless of what day of the week October 31 arrives on. The classic Richmond tradition of Halloween covers show got thrown off this year when the venue Return Of The Living Dead Bands was booked into closed down, but never fear — there's still plenty of fun, costumery, and punk rock madness to go around on this All Hallow's Eve!
The cynosure of the music-related celebration in RVA this Halloween night is at Gallery 5, where my old pal Rivanna and Raw Mom Presents are doing it up in proper fashion, with more than just music for your entertainment. There'll also be drag performances featuring Chicki Parm and Niche Brand, a costume contest with prizes, and host Michael Smith keeping the action going throughout the night. So come dressed up, and have some fun!
But make sure you catch the music, because this night is full of local groups with a lot to offer! At the top of the bill is furious Richmond hardcore group Nosebleed, who are going to be releasing a new EP on venerable HC label Triple B Records later this year. They're sure to blow you away, and metallic postpunk rockers Unmaker, punk rippers Benderheads, and indie rock balladeers Haybaby will do much the same. Liven up your Halloween this year at Gallery 5, and get a full helping of devilish fun before the sun rises and the saints come out.

Russian Circles, Windhand @ The Broadberry – $18 in advance/$20 day of show (order tickets HERE)
Sometimes genres tagged with a "post-" prefix can get a little limiting. For Russian Circles, who've debatably been standard-bearers for the "post-metal" subgenre for over a decade now, their brand of complex, slowly evolving riff epics could certainly have resulted in them painting themselves into a corner, especially on their seventh album. Thankfully, new LP Blood Year shows that this Chicago trio is far from running out of ideas.
They're also smart enough not to let the ideas they do have run away with them, avoiding long metallic symphonies in favor of concisely expressed musical ideas that generally conclude well short of the ten-minute mark. If anything, there's more Breadwinner and early Don Caballero in the mix on Blood Year than reliable post-metal touchstones like Isis and Pelican. Which is a wonderful thing. Tonight at the Broadberry, Russian Circles will be joined by Windhand, a band that has learned to make epic lengths work for them in the related but decidedly separate field of apocalyptic doom metal. It all adds up to filling three hours of your Wednesday night with several days' worth of riffs, and what could be a better bargain than that?
Thursday, October 31, 7 PM
Citrus City Halloween Bash, feat. Hovvdy, Kevin Krauter, Caroline Says, Addy @ The Camel – $10 in advance/$12 day of show (order tickets HERE)
In the world of music, Halloween is often closely identified with punk rockers and spooky metal bands, but who says the indie kids don't like to have fun too? Citrus City Records is proving that Richmond's indie scene can embrace the Allhallows fun times as well as anyone with this shindig over at The Camel. Granted, things will be a bit more low-key over by the post office — as far as we know, no costume contests are planned (though we're sure no one will mind if you show up in your trick-or-treating outfit). However, you will get an evening full of great indie sounds from local and touring artists, and there ain't a damn thing wrong with that.
Hovvdy are at the top of this bill, and while I know this Austin, Texas duo wants me to look at that name and think "howdy," I'm no good with these double-V-instead-of-single-W names, so I just think of them as "hov-dee." However you feel like pronouncing their name, these guys exemplify their self-identified genre tag of "pillowcore" on just-released third LP Heavy Lifter, a collection that pairs bedroom indie sounds with hints of Americana and is the perfect soundtrack for a relaxing, low-key Halloween. Some other out-of-town indie pals are also on the bill — mellow indie-folk project Caroline Says also hails from Austin, while lo-fi singer-songwriter Kevin Krauter comes from Indiana. Local indie crew Addy will kick the evening off, and bring you a fine way to spend Halloween if you're not feeling the whole stress of getting a costume together. (Believe me, I've been there.)
Friday, November 1, 6 PM
Wolves At The Gate, My Epic, Comrades, Empty, Eaves @ The Canal Club – $14 in advance/$16 day of show (order tickets HERE)
I have no idea what was in the water 20 or so years ago around certain religious institutions in the American midwest, but somehow or another, a certain subgenre evolved that seemed inextricable from Christianity. It was a mixture of hardcore, metal, and emo, and while it could go in more chaotic (The Chariot) or more melodramatic (mewithoutYou) directions, the general result was both heavy and driving while also being dramatic and emotional. And even for nonbelievers like myself, it was all but impossible to deny that a lot of it was really, really good.
Ohio's Wolves At The Gate are solidly in that tradition, having evolved over their past decade of existence from the melodic metalcore of their early EPs to the epic, emotional metallic post-hardcore of their recently released fourth LP, Eclipse. Bringing in a decidedly epic atmosphere over the course of more recent work, they've attained a bit of a prog edge without losing their heaviness or the power of their dramatic musical crescendos. They're sure to pair well with nomadic former Richmonders Comrades, who will join them on this Canal Club bill. Fredericksburg-based My Epic, who add a bit of grunge to their melodic alt-rock — entirely for the better — will also be part of this one, as well South Carolina's Empty and Richmond's own Eaves. Regardless of which faith you do or do not claim, rocking out at this one is a great way to spend your Friday night.

All Your Sisters, Echo Beds, True Body @ Wonderland – $10
If you're a longtime music nerd like I am, there's a pretty clear picture that forms in your mind when someone starts talking about gothic industrial — and let's be real, it's a picture of Andrew Eldritch from Sisters Of Mercy on the cover of Floodland. That late-80s Sisters Of Mercy sound has made a fundamental imprint of 30 years of goth-industrial groups since that LP's release in 1987 — that's a fact. But it is still possible for bands to bring a new and more interesting approach to the genre without just walking in the Sisters' footsteps, and Los Angeles project All Your Sisters is proving it.
Their latest LP, Trust Ruins, provides a blueprint for a way forward that should be just as interesting to dirty punks and angry metalheads as it is for traditional rivethead types. On it, All Your Sisters pair pounding drum machine beats that are straight off a late-80s Nitzer Ebb single with noisy, blown-out guitars that call to mind first-LP Jesus And Mary Chain. Plus, of course, that gloomy goth croon that we all know and love, which is a bit more Trent Reznor than Andrew Eldritch in the way this crew wields it. The result is equally enjoyable, though, and will certainly make for a great soundtrack to the stomping of polished black 20-hole Docs, even as it gives the less goth among us a sound we haven't heard a million times before. Also on the bill, Denver's Echo Beds will take things in an even harsher direction, while Virginia's own True Body will cast a spell of delicious postpunk gloom over the entire affair. Hit the black eyeliner aisle and head to Shockoe Bottom for this one.
Sunday, November 3, 8 PM
Alexa Rose, Trey Burnart Hall, Deau Eyes @ Fuzzy Cactus – $8
The Sunday night at the end of the weekend after Halloween is a definite mood, y'all. Between a jam-packed Halloweek and a post-Hallows weekend that some people will just roll into a second straight weekend of celebrations, it can be hard to find your peace at the end of it all and get emotionally (and physically) prepared to get back to work on Monday. If that's an issue you can relate to, I urge you to finish your weekend with this chill-as-hell Sunday night show at Fuzzy Cactus.
Alexa Rose is coming to town, and while this folk/Americana troubadour is currently based in Asheville, she originally hails from Clifton Forge, right here in Virginia. If you arrived in Richmond after a childhood spent in the vast rural west of Virginia (and a lot of us did), you'll probably relate to Rose's songs. With their tales of down-to-earth living and the day-to-day struggles we're all contending with, they'll sneak up on your with their resonant beauty. So why not meet 'em head on and let them bring you an easy smile of recognition? The warm glow Alexa Rose will offer you at Fuzzy Cactus this Sunday night is exactly the thing you'll need to get you through the beginning of another ordinary work week. Let it shine on you.
Monday, November 4, 9 PM
Crippled Fox, Buzzherd, Loud Night, 3:33 @ Cary Street Cafe – $10
This rager will start your week off right with some awesome thrash punk sounds coming all the way from Hungary. Crippled Fox have been tearing it up in Central Europe for a solid decade now, and their hyperspeed rage evokes both the classic mid-80s era of crossover thrash — DRI, Heresy, Larm, all that stuff — but also the turn-of-the-millennium bandana thrash revival of legends like What Happens Next?, Life's Halt, and Crucial Unit.
Basically, if your favorite Municipal Waste era is the early DIY EPs before they got a good recording budget, Crippled Fox is the band for you. Recent EP 10 Years Of Thrashing jams 5 songs onto one side of a 7 inch EP, and other than one midtempo singalong banger, they all flash by in 30 to 60 seconds. What's not to love? These guys are sure to get a circle pit full of bandanas and backwards baseball caps going as soon as they hit the Cary Street Cafe stage, and it'd be a shame if you weren't part of it. Pennsylvania death-grinders Buzzherd are also going to be part of this ripping thrash evening, and Richmond metallic punkers Loud Night and 3:33 will kick this one off right. Don't get caught napping.
Tuesday, November 5, 9 PM
Greet Death, Ceremony (East Coast), Smallhands @ Wonderland – $10
This is a treat — with their new album, New Hell, on the horizon (it'll be out within days of this show), Michigan's Greet Death are coming to Richmond to grace us all with a set of gorgeous grunge-damaged indie rock. Their name may come from an old Explosions In The Sky song, but this trio are much closer soundwise to sadly-departed Philadelphians Creepoid, or maybe even 80s heartland noise-rockers like Antietam or Eleventh Dream Day. Greet Death definitely mix pastoral psychedelia, hazy slowcore, and sunbaked desert doom into their sound as well, creating a complicated, original music that has a ton of reference points but is mainly just its own thing.
And listen — it's a pretty great thing. Expect Greet Death to prove this to you in loud and proud fashion on Tuesday night down at Wonderland, and you can also expect yourself to have a thoroughly great time while they do so. They'll be joined by Fredericksburg's Ceremony, aka Ceremony East Coast, aka not the formerly-hardcore band from California but a noisy, drum-machine-backed duo who've been around for about 15 years and are currently enjoying somewhat of a career renaissance. They've just released their sixth album, Candy, and it continues their legacy of ear-damaging noise-guitar roar that's sure to please fans of first LP Jesus and Mary Chain or My Bloody Valentine circa "You Made Me Realise." If you haven't picked up on this group yet, this is the perfect time to get on board. Fellow Fredericksburgians Smallhands are coming down as well, to lay out some guitar noise of their own. It's gonna be grand.
Elsewhere Around The State:
Thursday, October 31, 6 PM
Flamin' Groovies, New Boss, The Gladstones @ The Southern Cafe (Charlottesville) – $18 (order tickets HERE)
I know the name Flamin' Groovies doesn't quite ring out today the same way it did two or three decades ago, but if you young whippersnappers don't yet know about this pioneering garage rock/power-pop combo from California, you need a crash course in their truly unequalled excellence — and you'll get it at Charlottesville's Southern Cafe on Halloween night. Cyril Jordan has been leading the band since 1965, and in that time, they've innovated in the fields of psychedelic garage, proto-punk, and power-pop. They've got an overstuffed catalog full of timeless classics, and they'll be bringing them all to the Southern, so you'll want to be there to rapturously receive them!
These days, Cyril Jordan is the only original member left in the group, but though longtime co-leader Chris Wilson retired last year, Jordan has a rock-solid backing group to this day, and the four-piece will bring us highlights of their classic garage rock and power-pop eras, emphasizing both the classic 1971 rock n' roll LP Teenage Head and the more Beatles/Byrds-influenced sound of 1976's immortal Shake Some Action. It's gonna be a killer show full of amazing tunes, and if you don't already have Halloween plans, skip the costume in favor of some Beatle boots and a Nehru jacket, and head over to The Southern for some truly classic rock n' roll sounds from the Flamin' Groovies. You won't regret it.
Saturday, November 2, 9 PM
The Needles, The Girls, The Nerve Scheme, Fujiwara, Rad Taco @ Chicho's Backstage (Norfolk) – Free!
This free Saturday night show down in Norfolk is gonna keep the rock n' roll sounds flowing and get everyone dancing and having a great time. This bill is topped by a double-shot of raw and wild garage punk straight out of Wilmington NC. The Needles have been around for damn near 20 years now, and there sound is a throwback to a trashy era of punk rock that was really just rock n' roll played with a rude, snotty, don't-give-a-fuck appeal that just can't be denied. If you loved The Candy Snatchers and The Dead Boys, these guys will bring them back to life in your heart and put a big smile on your face with their rollicking tunes.
Fellow Wilmingtonians The Girls might take the prize for most un-Google-able band name of all time, but once some helpful person directed me to their Bandcamp, I found that their high-energy jams were worth the search. As you might have guessed given band-naming trends over the past 15 years or so, they're not actually girls at all, but these three rock n' roll boys all have a somewhat androgynous appeal, and wore dresses on the cover of their latest single, "Our Generation," so if they're willing to be that committed to the bit, I ain't mad at them. Dishing out punky rockin' tunes that land somewhere between The Donnas and The Ramones, they bring some pretty great sounds to the table as well. Outer Banks punk rockers Fujiwara bring a third NC punk rock combo with a slightly more melodic approach to this bill, and Tidewater hometowners Nerve Scheme and Rad Taco make for a deliciously overstuffed bill of all the rockin' punk awesomeness you can eat. Belly up to the bar.

A Brazilian woman, who had expected twins, gave birth to a baby with two heads.
Maria de Nazare, gave birth by caesarean at a hospital in Anajas, in Brazil's northern Para state, with her newborn weighing 9.9lbs.
And in a tribute to the religious celebrations at Christmas, she has decided to call the pair Emanoel and Jesus. Following the birth of her baby, mother Maria, 25, admitted that she had been told she was set to welcome twins.
Even stranger, here is a picture of the two-headed baby's Aunt Lenina:
The hospital's director, Claudionor Assis de Vasconcelos, told Brazil's O Povo newspaper that the woman decided to travel to the hospital because she was feeling strong abdominal pains.
The 25-year-old mother, who lives in a rural area of the state, had no ultra-sound scans during her pregnancy and only found out about the abnormality minutes before the baby was born at 1am on Monday morning.
He said: "When doctors scanned her they realised that the baby had two heads and that a normal birth would be a great risk both for mother and baby. The caesarean took an hour because the baby was sitting down.
"Despite all the problems we have as a small interior hospital we managed to save both mother and baby, which was our aim. And for us it was a great surprise to find out that the child was in really good health.
Neila Dahas, director of the Santa Casa hospital said: 'If both their brains are functioning, how are we going to choose which head to remove?
"We are not considering the possibility of surgery. What we've got to think about at this moment is to maintain the children in good condition and see how they will develop.'
Mr Vasconcelos added that at no point did the mother, who has three other children, appear distraught that her son has two heads.
He said: 'On the contrary, the baby was received with much happiness by the family.
'The mother fed both mouths and the baby stayed with her in her room the whole time. Her desire was to take her baby straight home.'
The mother and baby were taken by air ambulance yesterday afternoon to a specialist hospital in the state capital, Belem, to carry out further tests. They are expected to be allowed home later this week.
And yet another odd fact – the mother owns a two-headed pony:
Remarkably, this is the second time a two-headed baby has been born in Brazil this year. Sueli Ferreira, 27, gave birth to a two-headed baby in Paraiba State, but it died a few hours later because of lack of oxygen to one of the child's heads.
he two-headed boy is, in reality, conjoined twins who share a single body. The condition is known as dicephalic parapagus – an extremely unusual form of conjoinment.
Because they share the same body, it is not possible to separate dicephalic parapagus twins.

On this Veterans Day, 2013, MilitarySuccessNetwork.com shares with direct permisson, this message from………..Daniel M. Dellinger, who is national commander of the 2.4 million-member American Legion…..in his own words…..
Let's Serve Veterans as Well as They Have Served Us
By Daniel M. Dellinger
During the recent government shutdown many numbers were thrown around. But there is one number that stands out and it has nothing to do with the debate over the federal budget.
More than one a day. That is how many members of our active-duty military, National Guard and Reserve forces have committed suicide over the last year. Simply put, we are losing more servicemembers by their own hands than we are by the enemy in Afghanistan.
Only those who experienced firsthand the horrors of combat can understand why most of these young men and women feel compelled to take such drastic and permanent measures.
As Veterans Day ceremonies and parades occur throughout the country, it is important that we commit ourselves to do everything possible to prevent these needless and tragic deaths.
We are their friends, their family, their co-workers and their neighbors. It is up to us to ensure that every veteran feels that his or her service to this country is appreciated by their fellow Americans. There are many tangible ways that we can acknowledge their sacrifice, but the easiest is to simply say, "Thank you for what you have done for our country."
If he is showing signs of unhappiness or depression, encourage him to seek help through the VA immediately. If she has had difficulty obtaining the benefits that she is entitled to, let her know that The American Legion has thousands of trained service officers nationwide that will help her navigate the bureaucracy free of charge.
And if that veteran has made the Supreme Sacrifice, remember the price that has been paid for our freedom and offer your support to the loved ones left behind.
But Veterans Day is a time to honor not just those who have fought for us in battle, but, in fact, all of the outstanding men and women who served in our nation's Armed Forces since our founding more than 237 years ago.
Not all veterans have seen war, but a common bond that they share is an oath in which they expressed their willingness to die defending this nation.
Perhaps most significant in preserving our way of life are the battles that America does not have to fight because those who wish us harm slink away in fear of the Navy aircraft carrier, the Coast Guard cutter, the Air Force fighter squadron or the Army soldier on patrol. Or they have heard the words that recently retired General James Mattis shared with his Marines: "Be polite. Be professional. But have a plan to kill everybody you meet."
While we should all be grateful for the remarkable advancements made in military medicine and prosthetics, the fighting spirit and inspirational stories of our veterans are not due to technology.
These traits come from the heart.
And many of these veterans are women, such as Army Chief Warrant Officer Lori Hill. While piloting her helicopter over Iraq in 2006, she maneuvered her chopper to draw enemy gunfire away from another helicopter and provide suppressive fire for troops on the ground.
Despite flying a damaged aircraft and suffering injuries, she landed the helicopter safely, saving her crew. For her actions, she became the first woman to receive the Distinguished Flying Cross.
Women are major contributors to our military presence in Afghanistan and many have given their lives in the War on Terrorism. The American Legion recently issued a report calling upon VA to improve its response to the unique needs of women veterans. The VA and military health systems need to adequately treat breast and cervical cancer as well as trauma that resulted from domestic violence, sexual harassment and assault. America is home to more than 1.2 million women veterans and they deserve our support.
In the poem "Tommy," the great writer Rudyard Kipling lamented over the rude treatment a British soldier received at a pub. Writing in classical old English, Kipling compared the abuse with the more favorable treatment that "Tommy" receives by the public during war.
"For it's Tommy this, an ' Tommy that, an' 'Chuck him out, the brute!' But it's 'Savior of 'is country' when the guns begin to shoot; An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' anything you please; An' Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool – you bet that Tommy sees!"
Let us always treat our 23 million veterans as the saviors of our country that they are. Even when the guns are no longer shooting.

What can I expect to
get out of joining in social nudism or participating in nudist family activities??
The dominant attitude toward our bodies and thus
ourselves is not only wrong, and disrespectful, but it
is harmful to our self image, confidence, and healthy
social interaction. Those three aspects are most often
referred to as improvements and pluses in their lives
by individuals after becoming involved in the nudist
lifestyle. This is especially true among nudist
children as witnessed by friends, parents, and even
researchers. Children are in the early stages of
developing attitudes that will follow them throughout
their lives. It is far better for them to develop a
healthy attitude while young than to try to change
later in life when it is so difficult. It is really
more harmful to instill the present dominant cultural
fears, misinformation, inhibitions into children.
Social nudism is a sense of freedom, comfort and
relaxation that cannot be achieved when confined
physically and mentally in clothing. People, generally,
are friendlier and interact more easily and quickly
when nude. By meeting at clubs or beaches with people
from all over the country and the world there is a kind
of national and international camaraderie that
develops. It is an active, take control way to shed
oneself of fear and shame regarding our bodies. After
being a nudist for a while the snickering, immature
attitude of society toward our bodies and their parts,
and that of regarding our bodies as a product to be
kept secret and doled out in small profitable pieces
takes on a kind unsophisticated foolishness.
Looking for a quality family nudist website that would not have
you regretting the purchase of a membership? Look no

all-aged nudist pictures divided into a large list of

BeBareToo.com in 2014:
There are a number of "nudism" websites out there that
concentrate on nudity
from the sexual point of view. They depict nudist models in
erotic, degrading poses that completely slams down the nudist
cause and corrupts our Nudism culture. BeBareToo.com, on the other
hand, is completely different.

Q: Doesn't nudity equate with
A: This hot potato receives
much discussion. Many naturists believe that the
connection arises artificially in a society where many
people see the opposite sex nude only in sexual
situations. Suffice it to say that the practice of
naturism and the pursuit of naturist values and
philosophy allows one to place sexuality into its
natural perspective.

Raising the bar: dynamic JavaScript obfuscation
Last Updated: 2007-08-02 22:26:39 UTC
by Bojan Zdrnja (Version: 2)
Couple of days ago one of our readers, Daniel Kluge, pointed us to a web page with some heavily obfuscated JavaScript code. The operation was typical and consisted of a compromised site that had an obfuscated iframe which pointed to the final web site serving various exploits.
The obfuscation of the iframe was relatively simple but the second stage was more heavily obfuscated with some things we've never seen before.
After downloading the JavaScript file it was obvious that all function and variable names are complete random. Further to that, the deobfuscation function used the well known arguments.callee.toString() trick in order to prevent modification of the code (so you just can't replace the final document.write() call to something else as this will break the deobfuscation function body – attempts such as this one typically throw the function into an endless loop).
The screenshot below shows how the function looked when I first retrieved it.
Now, what makes this new is that the hosting web site generates this code dynamically! Every time you request this web page it will use completely random names for all variables and functions. As the deobfuscation function uses itself to deobfuscate the input, changing variable and function names even causes the payload information to change. Below you can see the beginning of the JavaScript file for two other subsequent retrievals:
(2nd try)
(3rd try)
The reason for doing this is obvious, such heavy obfuscation makes signature based detection much more difficult, if not impossible and it wasn't surprising to see that 0 anti-virus programs detected this when tested on VirusTotal.
After deobfuscating the payload I found out that it contains the typical set of exploits: the ADODB vulnerability exploit (MS06-014), the QuickTime and WinZIP exploits, AOL SB.SuperBuddy.1, WebViewFolderIcon and the VML Element Integer Overflow . Finally, one new addition is the exploit for the NCTAudioFile2 ActiveX vulnerability (http://secunia.com/secunia_research/2007-2/advisory). While this is an old vulnerability dating from January 2007, a fully working exploit was publicly released in April and what's worse is that the affected ActiveX control is delivered with dozens(!!!) of popular audio/video applications. This is shifting the patching process from the base OS to client applications which is usually much more difficult for users, especially if those applications don't support automatic updates so it's left up to the user to first find out that he has a vulnerable application and then manually patch it.
Browser differences
Now back to the infamous arguments.callee.toString() function. For those of you who regularly read our diaries, you probably remember that I analyzed a similar obfuscation method back July 2006 (http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?storyid=1519). The obfuscation function back there just used the length parameter to see if anything has been changed (obviously, changing the document.write() call to alert() or something similar will change the function body length as well). I found out that Internet Explorer and Mozilla treat white space differently and this caused the exploit to fail in Mozilla.
Daniel had problems deobfuscating this function initially and the reason why that happened wasn't clear immediately because the deobfuscation function in this case does this:
var o3b522f35=arguments.callee.toString().replace(/\W/g,"").toUpperCase();
this call converts the function body to upper case and then strips all white space (\W matches all non-word characters) so the fact that Internet Explorer and Mozilla don't calculate white space the same can't matter here.
However, Daniel used Rhino while debugging it while I was playing with Windows debugging capabilities so we knew it had to be something related to the browser wars again.
<script type="text/javascript">
function func(){
var l = arguments.callee.toString().replace(/\W/g,"").toUpperCa
var failme = 00001;
alert(l.length.toString() + ' Func: ' +l );}
This is a simple test – it calls the same function as the deobfuscation code and just declares one variable called failme with the value of 00001. If you want to test this, go to http://handlers.sans.org/bzdrnja/test.html.
Different browsers and different results:
- Safari: 93
- Firefox 2: 94
- Internet Explorer 6 and 7: 98
Daniel's observations were:
- For some unknown reason Safari ignores "g" from the replace call. Why would they do that is not clear but it looks like a bug to me ("g" is definitely a word character).
- All browsers but Internet Explorer strip leading zeros on integers so they treat variable "failme" as 1 when counting the number of characters; Internet Explorer actually counts 5 characters there.
Couple of readers pointed that Secunia's article about the vulnerability recommends setting the appropriate kill bit, but it doesn't list any CLSIDs.
So, here's the list of CLSIDs that this particular exploit uses, taken directly from the deobfuscated code:
- QuickTime: 02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B
- WinZIP: A09AE68F-B14D-43ED-B713-BA413F034904
- SuperBuddy: 189504B8-50D1-4AA8-B4D6-95C8F58A6414
- NCT AudioFile2: 77829F14-D911-40FF-A2F0-D11DB8D6D0BC

When making the film version of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke consulted with IBM. Given that one of the film's major plot points centers on an insane artificial intelligence, Kubrick was a tad bit worried that IBM might be displeased with their association with the film.
In August 1966, Kubrick wrote to Roger Caras, who was, at the time, vice president of Kubrick's production company, asking if IBM was clear on HAL's murderous sentiments. You can read Caras' full reply over at Letters of Note, but the gist was that IBM was fine as long as it was credited as just one among many consultants and that IBM was not "associated with equipment failure."
Of course, there are other reasons that people would associate HAL with IBM after the film's release, including that each of the letters in "HAL" are one letter off from "IBM." Clarke has denied that this was intentional, saying in his book The Lost Worlds of 2001:
As is clearly stated in the novel (Chapter 16), HAL stands for Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer. However, about once a week some character spots the fact that HAL is one letter ahead of IBM, and promptly assumes that Stanley and I were taking a crack at the estimable institution ... As it happened, IBM had given us a good deal of help, so we were quite embarrassed by this, and would have changed the name had we spotted the coincidence.
That still leaves the business of HAL singing "Daisy Bell" (the favorite tune of IBM 704) as his death song, but perhaps that is a matter for another correspondence exchange.
Does IBM know that HAL is psychotic? [Letters of Note]

The first presidential debate of the 2012 presidential election featured a generous amount of back and forth between the two candidates.
While the 90-minute debate moderated by veteran PBS anchor Jim Lehrer held at the University of Denver may not have provided any revelations regarding the two candidate's political stances, it did offer them a chance to try to define the campaign in their own terms.
For President Barack Obama, that meant challenging Romney for specifics about his tax and health care plans, while defending his own health care legislation and the progress made on recovering from the financial crisis of 2007-08.
"Because of the resilience and the determination of the American people, we've begun to fight our way back. Over the last 30 months, we've seen 5 million jobs in the private sector created. The auto industry has come roaring back, and housing has begun to rise," Obama said.
As the Republican candidate, Romney continued to hammer the president on the economy and present himself as an alternative to the president's plan of "spending more, taxing more and regulating more."
Obama began the evening on a light note, joking about spending his 20th wedding anniversary at the debate, and not spending his 21st with his wife "in front of 40 million people."
Romney also joked about the situation, telling Obama, "I'm sure this is the most romantic place you could imagine — here with me."
In speaking about "two very different paths," Romney repeatedly brought up current economic figures, including 8.1 percent unemployment.
"Under the president's policies, the middle-income Americans have been buried," Romney said.
The Republican candidate advocated for his economic plan, to lower and simplify the national tax rate, and use closed tax deductions and economic growth to avoid adding to the deficit.
Obama said Romney had yet to specify which tax deductions he would close, and said it was "just arithmetic," and that to avoid adding to the national debt, the Romney plan would either raise middle-class taxes, or cut deeply into federal government programs.
"The average middle-class family would pay $2,000 more with that plan," Obama said.
Romney fired back that one study showed Obama's proposed tax increase on those earning $250,000 or more annually, would actually cost 700,000 jobs.
Romney denied his tax plan would increase the debt, or result in tax savings for top earners — two allegations by Obama — but did not provide any further details either.
On the topic of Obamacare, a term the president said he has become fond of, Romney argued that the federal health care reform bill went too far and that he would repeal it if elected.
"The irony is that we've seen this model work very well, in Massachusetts," Obama said, pointing out that his signature piece of health care reform legislation was largely modeled on what Romney championed while he was governor.
"Craft a plan at the state level that meets the needs of the state," Romney said. He said his state plan did not involve raising taxes or a $716 billion "cut" to Medicare.
In his rebuttal, Obama said the $716 billion his administration has cut from the Medicare program was better described as program savings designed to strengthen Medicare, and that the senior advocacy group AARP supported that view.
In his closing statement, Obama said he would continue to fight for the middle class in a country where "everybody's getting a fair share, everybody's doing a fair share and everybody's playing by the same rules."
Romney used his closing remarks to chart the "two paths" the country could take, saying that if he were elected — he would raise incomes, help create 12 million new jobs, set up state-specific health care reform and maintain current military funding.
The next official debate will be Thursday, Oct. 11, and feature the vice presidential candidates. Obama and Romney will meet for two more debates, on Tuesday, Oct. 16, and Monday, Oct. 22.

Frequently Asked Questions: (Tentative)
The specific details will be published by the Government soon. But, in general the following queries are raised.
1). I own an apartment in the residential complex/apartment complex with 24/48 apartments and can I regularise my apartment?
Answer: It is difficult to regularise a single/individual apartment in an housing complex.
2). What are the documents required to be submitted for the regularisation?
Answer: Title Deed, EC, Survey documents, Sanctioned building plan, Structural stability report ( if the building has more than two floors or 20 feet in height), as it is building plan and the photos of the building.
3). Who has to submit the application?
If the association is formed, then the association has to pass an resolution and submit the application.
4). Who has to pay the penalty or fine for the deviation or violation?
The applicant has to pay the fine or the violation.
5). Our apartment has 5 floors, (G+4) and I purchased the legitimate or sanctioned portion of the apartment and why should I pay for the illegal or unauthorised portion or apartment in the complex?
This is a complex question. In case of an apartment, application has to be submitted as a single unit. This issue has to be settled among the apartment owners only.
6). Why can`t the developer/owner file the application?
Yes. The Developer/Owner can file the application, if the association is not formed.
7). Why should the owners pay the penalty, as we had not committed any deviation or violation or irregularity?
The developers, if they agree to regularise, they can pay the penalty and get it regularised. If the Developer is not agreeable or not available, then, the owner of the property has to get it regularised.
8). Can we initiate legal proceedings against the builder/owner?
9). What are types of deviation or violation?
a). FAR-Floor Area Ratio.
In general, on a 30 feet wide road, for residential purposes, the FAR allowed is between 1.5 to 1.75.
b). Height: 15 meters or 50 feet.
c). Setback: Buildings must have a clear vacant area between the compound and the superstructure like columns and this area is called the setback.
10). Our apartment complex has a panchayat sanctioned building plan and there is no deviation, is it necessary to get the property regularised?
Yes. Panchayats does not have any legal powers delegated to them to approve or sanction building plan other than a single or individual house with ground and first floor. The planning authority or the municipal corporation has the power to sanction or approve the building plan. It is an unauthorised construction, needs to be regularised.
11). Our apartment is built on agricultural land with panchayat approval, how can this be regularised?
If the land or the ground or the property is in agricultural zone or green zone or belt, it cannot be regularised. But, if the property is agricultural property, non converted and lies in residential zone of CDP map of the planning authority, it has be regularised by the change of land use and then the building has to be regularised.
12). We have more than 50% deviation from the sanctioned building plan, how to regularise it?
N O. It cannot be regularised unless and until, the deviation and violation is brought down or removed or demolished or cleared and brought to 50%.
13). There are 100 apartments and many of them have leased it out and are living out of the country and to get amounts from them is difficult, what to do?
The Government can do nothing. The other members of the association or the property owners must find out and request others to contribute.
14). We have penthouses built above 15 meters or 50 feet, how can this be regularised?
No. The penthouses has to be removed to be eligible for regularisation or have to obtain the following NOC from KSPCB, Fire and Emergency Services etc.

Here's why your program may benefit from a little less variation and a little more repetition.
Much is made of the virtue of variation in endurance sports training. Heck, I've made much of it myself. Some coaches and experts go so far as to say that one should never do the same workout twice in a training cycle. But lately I've come to believe that too much is made of the virtue of variation in endurance sports training, and not enough of the complementary virtue of repetition.
There are a lot of great athletes out there who don't buy into the whole variation thing. Among them is Beijing Olympics women's marathon gold medalist Constantina Dita-Tomescu, about whose training the following was written in a Running Times article a few years ago:
Constantina Dita-Tomescu's marathon training is based on a one-week block of workouts that has remained constant for years, with only slight variations for the season and distance from a goal race. Not only are the distances and intensity of each day consistent, but also the location, even the course …
There can be such a thing as too much repetition, of course. But everyone knows this. During an eight-year meathead phase of my early adult life, when I lifted weights five or six hours a week with no goal other than getting girls, I did the same workouts over and over with no variation and, predictably enough, after an initial adaptation period my body stopped making any progress. The same thing would happen in an endurance training program with no variation. But I believe that many endurance athletes could benefit from including more repetition in their training.
RELATED: Running 101: How Fast Should You Run?
The benefit of repeating certain key workouts throughout the training process is that it allows for apples-to-apples comparisons of performance and thus encourages the athlete to compete against himself, trying to best his previous benchmark each time he repeats a given session. You don't necessarily have to become fitter and fitter for this process to work. You just have to try harder and harder.
Indeed, as some of the recent science on the brain's regulation of exercise performance suggests, one of the most important outcomes of an effective training program is the ability to do more with the same resources. Engaging in a training program in which certain bread-and-butter key workouts are frequently repeated is a great way to enhance this underappreciated outcome of training.
Early in a training cycle, when you perform your first session of your bread-and-butter workouts, you shouldn't kill yourself. Just go hard but controlled to establish a benchmark. The next time you perform the same session, don't try to demolish that standard; just shave it down a tick or two by trying a little harder. Continue in this manner until, in the peak period of your training, you really have to turn yourself inside out to improve your key workout times.
RELATED: How To Run A Better Track Workout
It's not all about trying harder, of course. Training should make you fitter too. But the very process I just described will itself make you fitter and give you the resources to progressively improve your key workout performances. Pushing hard but not too hard in your early key sessions will stimulate physiological adaptations that enable you to reach higher the next time.
You should also manipulate the context in which your go-to workouts occur to stimulate fitness gains that you can then exploit in these workouts. As the training cycle unfolds, there should be an overall gradual increase in your training load that is punctuated by short recovery periods. You will make the biggest improvements in your key workout performances when you perform them within recovery periods.
So what exactly are the bread-and-butter key workouts that you might want to consider doing repeatedly in your training? There is no single right answer to this question. However, generally speaking these workouts should collectively test and provide an opportunity to assess the various major components of your overall fitness: strength, speed, aerobic capacity, lactate threshold and endurance. Examples of workouts that might be used to test each of these components in running are as follows:
Strength: 10 x 2-minute hill intervals with 3-minute jog recoveries
Speed: 10 x 300m with 400m jog recoveries
Aerobic capacity: 5 x 1K with 400m jog recoveries
Lactate threshold: 10K relaxed time trial
Endurance: 20-30K relaxed time trial
Each of these sessions could be performed as often as once every other week. The variety would come from other key sessions sprinkled into the mix and from fluctuations in overall training volume.
RELATED: The Old Way Vs. The New Way Of Training
It is rightly said that you can't improve by doing the same workouts over and over. But when you try progressively harder in each iteration of a key workout and manipulate the context in which these sessions are performed, you're really not doing the same workouts over and over.

United States Marine Corps
The United States Marines are BAMF compared to the Royal Marines and the SAS and the RAF regiment this excluding the British royal marine fleet protection group. They have never lost a single battle or war in the history of their existence becasue they have fought along side the British, then turning to them and overwhelming them with pure savagery. The United States of America also get into a conflict then wins it easly, without the British.
They are considered the beasts of the earth and claim they eat Americas enemy for breakfast with a side of homegrown enemies, ie, hippie commie peace freaks, Democrats, the US Air Force, and on occasion their own officers. They wake up every morning with the hope of dismembering their enemy and defiling their civilizations. They are renowned around the globe for their interrogation techniques of captured prisoners, which yield useful information 97.2% of the time. Some methods employed by the Marines are forcing prisoners to listen to Dane Cook for 48 hours straight, intimidating them into taking any Chrysler vehicle for a test-drive, and forcing Muslim captives to consume the Wendy's Baconator against their will. The Marine Corp is famous for
Resurgence[edit | edit source]
According to "Grand old Man of the Marine Corps," Archibald Henderson, the story goes that back in 1775,when Archie Baker owned Tun Tavern in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. One day him and a group of drunks decided that they were going to form a militia to do all the dangerous shit the Army was too scared to do, waste the enemy. Well, since Sam was the least drunk of the lot, he made himself captain. After some careful planning he decided, "you know what.. I bet I can get these drunk bastards to perform an amphibious
landing assault." So they sailed to New Providence Bahamas. Since Captain Nichols didn't have much money to spend, he rationed out enough rum to make sure the crew didn't mind not being paid, and to keep morale up. Hell, they were drunks anyway. When they got to New Providence, the British had already left to conquer the good parts of the world, leaving little behind save some munitions, a few barrels of gun powder, and some rum. Although only mildly successful, (and despite the heavy celebrating afterward) this was enough to establish the Marines as a part of the Continental defenses, though small in number. It was soon after that Samuel Nichols thought... "you know what... I started this. That makes me in charge." Thus he became the first Commandant of the Marine Corps.
The Marine Corps then went on to bring America victory in every war the country has ever participated in, including not limited to the War of 1812, The War of 1812 II: The Revenge, World War I, World War II, The Second American Revolution (the invisible one), The Vietnam War (twice), The Cold War, The War on Terror, Nancy Reagen's War on Drugs, The War on Poverty, The War on the Middle-class, and especially the War on Christmas. Chuck Norris hates happiness. Period.
In later years the Marines grew into what it is today... a load of badasses doing all the dirty work the Army, including the ghosts from GRAW, is too pussy to do on their own , a bunch of killtacular muthafuckas who are not afraid of shit, who would rather die than back down from a fight. This then creates veritable gods out of a pack of gun-toting, drunken, wholesome kind of god fearing Americans, restoring the natural order to the world once again.
Armaments[edit | edit source]
The Marines currently operate the most deadly war machines known to man. The USMC's R&D department is proactively regulated by Chuck Norris, and their designs are constructed to meet the Marine's minimum casualty rate of at least 100% Muslim Deaths.
For close combat and hand-to-hand combat, the Corps' preferred weapon is the trusty M-11 bayonet when they blindly rush at their enemies and totally fuck shit up! When necessary, an accepted practice is to use soldiers as makeshift shields/bayonets/clubs/battering rams. Sailors double as doormats/MRE substitutes. Another accepted weapon is the AT-4 Anti-Tank/People/Building Rocket. It is believed to actually be one of Chuck Norris' pubic hairs.
During the Pirate-Ninja War, Chuck Norris was attacked by a ninja wielding a chainsaw. (Genius idea. No sarcasm intended.) Supreme Commander Norris ass-raped the ninja with his own chainsaw, then he drank five quarts of piss and vinigar, and then a shot of gasoline from the chainsaw's gas tank (which not much was left-- Chuck Norris is very selfish). What was shawt (haha rappar shitz) out is referred to as the M1B Rocket Propelled Chainsaw, which the Marines use for crowd control and humanitarian missions. Chuck Norris is so "tough", he uses it to shave his balls.
The USMC standard uniform is unique in that its camouflage pattern utilizes a series of pixels and simple colors, much like a computer image. While many believe that the purpose of this design is to "disrupt" the Marines outline and cause them to blend into their environment, its actual function is to trick the enemy into believing they have somehow have been drawn into some sort of real life game of Counter-Strike, causing them to start bunny-hopping out of cover and be subsequently mowed down by waiting M27 Cattanks and barrages of anti-faggotry kitten missiles. This design was pioneered by Some guy during the US entry into the Second Cat Bun Wars and has been used ever since. It eventually replaced the tried and true clown-o-flauge uniform in 1963.
The Marines' superior equipment has often been the deciding factor in many conflicts, including the Vietnam War, where their superior helicopters and air-ground co-ordination allowed them to beat the Vietnamese twice. If you don't believe this you are almost certainly a terrorist. Or a communist. Or a communist terrorist. Fucking commie.
The Marines are also issued all the worn out equipment and weapons that the Army is tired of using.
They especially enjoy sodomizing Airmen after hurling them through bar room windows on Gate 2 street in Okinawa.
Rank[edit | edit source]
Enlisted Ranks.[edit | edit source]
Take it in the ass recruit: You memorize random shit that changes day to day, and are incapable of doing anything right. Bottom line, YOU ARE WRONG!!!!!
Boot: Congratulations, you are now allowed to draw with crayons on the bulkheads(walls) and throwing shit on the rafters. But you're still incapable of doing anything right. Bottom line, YOU ARE WRONG!!!!!
Slave: You can now clean barracks floors with a potato instead of your bare foot but you are still wrong. However you will still find yourself freaking out when anyone with a campaign hat approaches you, going to attention and spouting, "Sir, This recruits still need to pee, Sir!"
Endentured Servant: You are not held accountable for anything and your qualification requirements are a cakewalk. You can use a cleaning rag now. You are also given the most important jobs in the Marine Corps, e.g. fixing $20M aircraft, guarding the front gate of the base from untrustworthy Dominos Pizza and UPS drivers, and being accountable for munitions build-up that could clear the entire base population with one mistake.
Janitor: You can now use a mop. Be happy, this is the last cleaning position left. Congratulations you are now the backbone of the Marine Corps.
Sergeanitor: If you are E-5, you're the shit. Nothing gets done without you there. Marines still see you as one of them and happily do your bidding as long as you give them breaks or bring in food every now and then. Under your oversight, the unit runs like a well-tuned engine. Officers actually give you sincere compliments.
Staff Sergeanitor: If you are E-6 or E-7 you are entering the muddy echelons of the MArine Corps bureaucracy. You find yourself increasingly unwilling to "Git R Done" unless there's accompanying paperwork. It is your job to make sure the lowest ranks do both their jobs and yours, or you are in trouble and it is all your fault. Once you break your troops and gain the allegiance of your SNCOs, you can sit around and play on the computer all day long. If not, the most you can hope for in your short career is a couple of games of Minesweeper. Gunnery Janitor: You are now a demigod.
Master Janitor (First Janitor): "Clean it up, I'll be back in 5"
Master Gunnery Janitor: If you are E-8, you have a keen interest in the nuances of petty rules and regulations. You are an avid connoisseur of bloated management and training programs, and you see every one of them as having a home at your squadron, even though they will invariably be uprooted after you PCS. As you get more incompetent and lose qualification in your career field, you will be asked to a lot of golf games and unit volleyball events. Accept these appointments or you will be effectively cast out of the management hierarchy.
Janitor Major: If you are E-9, you made it! You no longer need to screw anyone over to make promotion. Relax. It's your job to barbecue, take care of the wives of deployed servicemembers (if you know what we mean), and figure out what to watch on cable TV or satellite TV. Have a seat! Sit in a chair of some kind. Right there will do. Do you have a tee time for the weekend at the base golf course? You need to randomly be on the green. Dumbass ward officer first ass: You pilot rickety aircraft

Operation Names[edit | edit source]
It is scientifically proven that the success of any given Marine offensive is entirely dependent on how ambiguously threatening the name of the Operation sounds. Examine for instance the Marine invasion of Fallujah. Titled as "Operation: Phantom Fury", the offensive completely succeeded in completely destroying Iraqi willpower. History shows us that the Haj defense operation completely fell apart when they learned what the attack on them was named.
NARRATOR: In the year 2004, Fallujah was the beginning.
ZARQWAI: What happen?
HAJ: Somebody set up us the invasion!
HAJ 2: We get signal.
ZARQWAI: What!
HAJ 2: Mainscreen turn on!
ZARQWAI: It's you!
MATTIS: How are you dirty haj?
MATTIS: All your mosque are belong to us!
ZARQWAI: What you say!?
MATTIS: You are on way to becoming part of Operation: Phantom Fury
MATTIS: You have no chance to survive, take your time.
MATTIS: Ha-ha-ha!
PENIS: Holy Shit! That terrorist is humping a dog! Shoot him!!!!!!!!
HI: Hello, I'm going to shoot you in the faces you fucking terrorst!
ZARQWAI: Crap. We should probably just bend over and take it huh?
Conversely, when we observe the effectiveness of conflicts like Operation: Market Garden and Operation: Iraqi Freedom they typically become what is known as military circles as an "incredible fuck up". Even training exercises fall prey to this curse. In the late '70s there was a training exercise at 29 Palms called VARSITY KLEENEX. Even though it was a training exercise, 8 Marines were KIA. As such, the Marine Corps has decided to adjust the name of all future military operation to match the expected intensity of the conflict. The War in Iraq, for instance has been renamed from "Operation: Iraqi Freedom" to "Operation: Radical Chainsaw Skullfuck", and the War on Terror will now be known as Operation: Epic As Manowar and Dragonforce Combined. Victory Is Expected By Tomorrow.
Famous Heroes of the Marine Corps[edit | edit source]
Chesty "BullDick" Puller
Mega General Lewis Bulldick "Chesty" Puller (June 26, 1091 – October 11, 2097) was an officer in the United States Marine Corps and is the 2nd most decorated Marine in history(Next to Chuck Norris). Puller is the only United States Marine to receive sixty-five Navy Crosses, the United States second highest decoration after the Medal of Honor(Which he has 19 of). During his career, he fought guerrillas in Haiti and Africa, Martians on the moon, once he even beat Superman down with a pair of Kryptonite knuckles and participated in some of the bloodiest battles of World War IV. He holds the World Record for most babies eaten in 20 min with 169 (a whole Vietnamese village) and also has the record for most people killed with an E-Tool at 836.
Famous quotes
"All right, they're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time"
"Great. Now we can shoot at those bastards from every direction."
"We're surrounded. That simplifies our problem of getting to these people and killing them"
"Remember, you are the 1st Marines! Not all the Communists in Hell can overrun you!"
"Take me to the Brig. I want to see the real Marines."
"Alright you bastards, try and shoot me!"
"Where do you put the bayonet?" (upon seeing a M2 flamethrower for the first time)
"You don't hurt 'em if you don't hit 'em."
"Hit hard, hit fast, hit often."
"Retreat! Hell, we're just advancing in a different direction."
"Get Some!"
"Yut Yut"
"It's stuck in my zipper!!"
Pee-wee Herman[edit | edit source]
Often known by his nickname "CocK Rubber", Herman is among the Marine's most decorated Veterans. During an attack on the Vietnamese
village of Luv Yu Long Tim, Herman's platoon came under attack by a group of no good commies (who were cheating by using the AWP, fucking whores). He proceeded to fire back but a broken string on his M142 Flying-V rendered him completely defenseless. Facing certain annihilation, Sgt. Herman used his clown-o-flauge uniform to sneak into the NVA stronghold. He then used a form of throat vibration he had learned in a Thai Whore-house to throw his voice and make the Vietnamese soldiers believe that their couches, tables, globes, clocks, and other furniture had gained consciousness and were now speaking to them in silly voices. Because all communists hold a shared believe that talking furniture foretells the coming of Armageddon, the NVA soldiers descended on each other in a terrified, bloodthirsty orgy of madness induced violence and knifed each other all to death. The event is referenced to this day (erroneously) as the My Lai massacre. Pee Wee was honored for his courage and cunning with the Presidential Medal of Awesome and given an immediate promotion to General of Children's Television. His exploits are covered frequently in the world-famous documentary Pee-Wee's Playhouse.
Mr. Rodgers[edit | edit source]
Perhaps the most famous hero in the history of the Corps (besides Chuck Norris), Mr. Rodgers single handedly ended World War II by first storming Iwo Jima by himself, killing every single defender. He then briefly stopped off in Okinawa for a quick drink and a few puffs, being sure to liberate it before he left and then proceeded on his way to the Germany, so he could kill some Hun's before the war ended, managing to arrive just in time to battle Hitler for control of the Dragon Balls. Rodgers eventually defeated Hitler's final form with the help of some conveniently placed meat shields and Royal Marines. Once Hitler was dealt with Mr. Rodgers found Herman Goering and forced him to fly Rogers to Japan. Once over the city of Hiroshima Rogers whipped out a snappy one liner, gouged out Goering's eyes and threw him off the plane with such force that the impact caused a fission reaction, leveling the city of Hiroshima. Feeling his mission accomplished Rodgers jumped out of the plane over Nagasaki, landing perfectly on his feet and killing everyone within three miles of the city. The Japanese soon surrendered. He was given the Presidential Medal of Asskicking
Captain Kangaroo[edit | edit source]
he earned his honor and metals by drop kickin Clark Allen in the face n hopped away to servive. Seriously.
Kevin Bacon[edit | edit source]
7 years after Footloose, Kevin Bacon joined the Marine Corps. When he achieved the rank of Captain, he was opposite two Marines in a court case, and Colonel Jack Nicholson got mad and said very naughty things. 17 years later, Lieutenant Colonel Kevin Bacon, today, does the Footloose dance in his Dress Blues. Sometimes he plays softball with Lieutenant Tom Cruise.
Jessica Biel[edit | edit source]
"The ass of a true Marine..."
Jessica Biel served in the Corps for 20 years during WW2. Most of her missions involved smothering high ranking Wehrmacht officials with her buttocks. With every kill she made, she added an inch to her ass. Her 80 inch custom "ass" fatigues are now cryogenically frozen in a fridge, floating somewhere in space.
William Travers[edit | edit source]
Travers was the marines youngest recruit, he left the womb in fatigues and was on the frontline by his first birthday. Being English he struggled to understand commands given, this was not helped by his Polish heritage, he also claims to be partially American and Italian, though nobody knows. He sleeps with his rifle as his teddy and has the Marine Hymn and Prayer/Creed memorised. This was all acompolished within an hour of birth. Finally after 16 years of service, Travers retired as commander in chief; he now runs Kitchener House at some low budget boarding school in England, he does so with his bitch and foreign secretary Oliver Starbuck.
Smedley Butler[edit | edit source]
Do not ever mention Smedley Butler. EVER. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME SHITBIRD? A once-loyal Marine who helped American interests in Haiti, Nicaragua and other shitbird countries, he was rewarded in 1933 with the chance to establish a military dictatorship at the behest of corporate interests. Butler instead turned traitor to the Corps by putting the New Deal Demoncrat system of government before his oaths as a Marine, and ratted them out to the feds. It was a black mark on the record of the Marines.
Butler died in 1936 and now resides in Hell, where Master Major Gunnery Sgt. God (USMC ret). skullfucks him every five minutes.
Marines' Hymn[edit | edit source]
The Marines' Hymn is a popular song about how the Marines have done batshit crazy things all around the world, as shown in the first line, "From the balls of Montezuma, to the whores of Tripoli, and the third line of the second stanza, "In the snow of far off northern lands and in sunny tropic scenes." It is sung exclusively by Marines as only they can get drunk with asskicking enough to sing anyway. It is a popular misconception that the tune was stolen from some wimpy Frenchman's opera another misconception is the end of the song; the real version of the song says "If the Army or the Navy were to look on heavens scene, they will see their wives are sleeping with United States Marines!".

There are several ways to edit a shot in Photoshop and two of the most underrated yet highly effective tools are the dodge and burn tools. These are found at the toolbar on the left. The default icon is the dodge tool and if you click on the little arrow, a dropdown list will appear showing the burn tool and also the—-.The dodge and burn tools are the digital equivalent of the methods used in the actual darkroom, where to 'dodge' meant to obstruct the light hitting a section of the photo paper from the —- with the use of an object. While to burn meant to allow more light to hit a specific section of the photo paper. Since one cannot really see the results until the image has been fixed with chemicals, the procedure would usually be trial and error with a lot of test prints involved. Now, digital technology has made it so much easier to achieve the visual results we want.
Let us try out the dodge and burn method with a sample image. Open an image in Photoshop and make a duplicate layer.
Pinpoint the areas that would need to be darkened and/or lightened. Let us start with the dark area. In this image, the bottom part of the snail's shell and the lower left corner are too much in shadow and it would be a good idea for a little more light to show more details. Click on the dodge tool and keep the hardness set to 0% so that the edge of your brush is soft. Set the diameter to a manageable size so you have better control of your strokes. As for exposure, choose a percentage that gives a subtle yet visible result. A high exposure value would mean a more drastic dodge effect. Use the dodge tool like a brush and swipe the dark areas until they are light enough.
Next, choose the areas you want to darken such as the upper right corner. Burning would make that area more balanced in terms of tonal value. Click on the arrow on the dodge tool icon to show the burn tool option. Again, adjust the settings and swipe over the light areas until you are satisfied with the results.
The burn and dodge tools are great for spot adjustments and using them can enhance the light and shadows in your photo by making the light areas appear even lighter and the shadows darker. They can also lessen the degree of light and shadow detail to make the lighting appear more even.

John Travolta
|John Travolta
John with his lovely hair.
|John Joseph Travolta
Template:MONTHNAME 18, 1954
Englewood, New Jersey, U.S.
|Actor, singer, dancer, producer, writer, family man.
|Years active
|1969–present (as an actor)
|Jett Travolta (1992–2009), Ella Bleu Travolta (b. 2000), and Benjamin Travolta (b. 2010) - all proving had sex with wife.
"You can tell by the way I use my walk / I'm a woman's man, no time to talk."
"He got friendly, holding my hand."
"Oh, of course he is."
John Travolta is a world famous actor, blessed with a thick head of hair and a vibrant, healthy heterosexuality, who has enjoyed unparalleled success in a movie career that has spanned decades.
Fame in the 1970s[edit]
John came to the world's attention after starring in the movie adaptation of Stephen King's Carrie. John played Billy Nolan, and admitted it was hard to play such a nasty character, and that it was especially difficult to film the scene in which he tipped buckets of pig blood over Sissy Spacek. According to John, "Billy was a real jerk, I didn't like him. The only thing I could relate to about him was that he had a girlfriend."
John's next movie, Saturday Night Fever, propelled him to superstardom, with his thrilling performance as Tony Manero, a working-class heterosexual man who eased his gritty frustration by dancing airily in a white suit.
His other mega-hit of the 1970s, Grease, was of a similarly musical nature. John showed the range of his acting experience, playing a high school senior at the age of 34, and somehow managing to convince the world he was merely a would-be ladies man, when in reality he was already making a reputation for himself as one of Hollywood's most prolific and generous lovers. Rumors circulated that he did Olivia Newton-John straight after filming that scene with her in those tight leather pants.
The 1980s[edit]
Concerned that his unbridled success might make him lose touch with the real world, John spent the 1980s altruistically producing movies for friends. Those in the business call this a unique example of a Hollywood superstar helping young directors and actors take their first, tentative steps in a cut-throat industry — while the uninitiated naïvely describe the works as "flops."
During this time, such was John's commitment to humility, that he turned down two stone-cold hits, in American Gigolo and An Officer and a Gentleman. Both roles went, of course, to Richard Gere, that Buddhist faggot, so gay that his name has gone on to be synonymous with hamster-ass-play and is Cockney Rhyming Slang for "queer".
Look Who's Talking[edit]
At the end of the decade, satisfied that he had done enough to help his less fortunate friends, John returned to being box office gold, starring in Look Who's Talking, a harrowing biopic of Professor Stephen Hawking. The first movie charted the famous physicist's physical decline, and led to Roger Ebert's famous description of John's performance: "The most important piece of cinema I have ever seen - in the moments where John starts to speak like a retard, you really don't know whether to laugh or cry." The critical and commercial success of the film led to two sequels, Look Who's Talking Two, and Look Who's Talking Now, for which Travolta voluntarily underwent operations to paralyze his body and voicebox.
Pulp Fiction and beyond[edit]
After the filming of the final scenes of Look Who's Talking Now, John went through further surgery to restore his voice and feeling below the neck. Halfway through his gruelling rehabilitation program, John auditioned for Pulp Fiction, and the irritating Quentin Tarantino was so moved by what he saw that he immediately gave voice to a 15-minute monologue about the importance of Saturday Night Fever and its relationship to the Democrat Party's movement to the center in the 1970s.
John's performance as hitman Vincent Vega set the world alight, and featured many memorable scenes, including discussing fast food with a black man, wearing hilarious clothes after inadvertently murdering someone, and being killed whilst pushing excrement from his virgin anus. Tarantino later described John as a pleasure to work with, saying he "contributed in many ways to the film, even providing props and direction for the scene with Marcellus in the basement."
Since then, John's career has taken in a range of genres, from powerful comedy-dramas (such as Phenomenon), to superhero blockbusters (The Punisher), and religious epics (Battlefield Earth).
Lies: Hair[edit]
Rumors of John's baldness are entirely unfounded and are thought to originate from jealous people. When asked in interviews about his hair, John always makes a self-deprecating joke before smiling and flicking his lovely mane of jet black locks. The records of a recent medical check up were posted on his website and recorded over 25,312 healthy follicles.
Lies: Sexuality[edit]
As John is a good looking man who at once exudes a certain working class hardness and a magnetic sensitivity, he has often been subject to aspersions about his sexuality. John has repeatedly denied such slander, pointing out that he frequently has vaginal intercourse with his wife, and before that was known locally in Hollywood as one of the town's most famous swordsmen.
Such was his notoriety in the 1970s, that on many Travolta sets there wasn't a woman to be found, as directors felt it was safer to surround him with men. Randal Kleiser, who directed him in Grease, recalled finding John in bed with, "three guys - a white dude, a black guy, and a Chinaman. Apparently that was the only way he could trust himself! It reminded me of something Gandhi would do."
Court Case[edit]
In 1998, Michael Pattinson, a former member of the Church of Scientology named John as a homosexual in court papers. Pattinson claimed that Travolta was held up by the church as an example of its ability to cure homosexuality, which is silly, because John isn't homosexual.
Pattinson's lawyer, Graham E Berry, who is
also a self-confessed friend of Dorothy, made the related laughable claim that the Church employs a slew of private investigators and attorneys who have tried to dig up as much dirt about him as possible. "As an openly gay man, Scientology couldn't use my homosexuality as leverage. However, they've used my sexual orientation to accuse me of white slavery, drug dealing, and paedophilia. They're quite a vicious group of people".
This accusation was plainly ridiculous. Whoever made a link between homosexuality and
paedophilia or white slavery or drug dealing? The worst thing about this frivolous case was that it was only the first in a long line of groundless accusations aimed at John. Like this next one, with the photo.
Kiss in the Airfield[edit]
In 2006, paparazzi photographed John innocently kissing Jeff Kathrein, his family's male nanny goodbye as he boarded his own Boeing 707 jet in Canada. Martin Singer, John's lawyer, explained the kiss very simply:
"As a manner of customary greeting and saying farewell, Mr. Travolta kisses both women and men whom he considers to be extremely close friends. People who are close to Mr. Travolta are aware of his customary, non-romantic gesture."
What could be more simple than that? It's perfectly normal to kiss same-sex friends on the lips sometimes, especially when in Canada. Why do people persist with such lies? Or even worse, post imagined versions of the conversation that took place between Travolta and Singer online?
Thanks to such nonense, a lovely heterosexual man no longer feels comfortable expressing his affection towards other non-gay men via labial contact.
Spas and Masseurs[edit]
In February 2012, good-for-nothing author Robert Randolph published the book, You'll Never Spa in This Town Again in which he claimed to have seen John indulging in homosexual practices and making a beeline for Middle Eastern men.
Later that year, the latest money-grabbers came out of the woodwork. Two masseurs claimed that John had insisted on them 'working the glutes' when they massaged him, and that his demands had quickly escalated from the frisky to the outright saucy. One of the morons, who hid behind a veil of anonymity but who we will call Derek, published a massive legal document detailing John's supposed offenses. Let's dismiss these accusations one by one:
- touched Derek's scrotum, and then snickered to himself like a mischievous child.
Here, it's perfectly possible that John was attempting to pinch the masseur in a jocky, playful manner, which is reflected by his subsequent laugh.
- seized onto the shaft of Derek's penis, attempting to rub the head of it as Derek tried to pull away.
It's more than likely that John reached out, attempting to grip the legs of the bed, but given that the massage had relaxed him so much, he was disoriented and accidentally happened upon Derek's penis.
- offered to jerk Derek off.
Bear in mind that Derek is a foreign person, and very probably misunderstood John's speech. Perhaps they were speaking about the masseur's debts, and John said, "It's so hard [having debt]... I could help you. Why don't we work it off together?"
- revealed his penis, roughly eight inches in length, with wiry and unkempt pubic hair.
Not believable. John's hair, pubic or otherwise, is always immaculate. During this period, John was nursing a baby ferret back to health, and was known to keep it warm in his underpants. The masseur presumably mistook the creature for a hairy penis.
- lumbered around with his erect penis bouncing around with his stride.
John is not a lumberer by nature. If this did happen, it was almost certainly an attempt to put the masseur at ease with some physical comedy, which is a strength of John's.
- claimed Hollywood is controlled by homosexual Jewish men who expect "favors" in return for making people into stars.
Here the basic slur is merged with typical anti-semitic nonsense. It's entirely possible that John meant non-sexual favors, such as turning on lights and heating during the Sabbath, which is a perfectly kind gesture in a multicultural community.
- admitted he himself had to get used to the taste of cum when he started.
This prurient invention, that John grew accustomed to the taste of semen, is particularly vile. John is known to be a big fan of chewing gum, and often talks about how he did not like it as a child. His speech was either accidentally or wilfully misconstrued.
- believed that all powerful people preferred gay sex, and that sex with a man was more intense.
Preposterous. Implies the likes of Donald Trump, Richard Branson, and Vladimir Putin are gay. Here, John was discussing vacation customs, and noted that powerful men preferred cases while he personally enjoyed the humbler pleasure of camping, about which his wife said, "I like having sex with my man in tents."
- said there was a female starlet in the spa who wanted three-way sex, and that a gay experience would help them to get in synch before teaming up on her and doing her from both ends.
Confused nonsense. The basic slur on John's sexuality is completely confounded by the inclusion of a woman. Kirstie Alley did not deserve to have her named sullied in online rumor forums.
Needless to say, none of the accusations were taking seriously, and never made it to court. It is a sad indictment of the modern age, when someone can simply gain press attention by making unfounded allegations.
John is a follower of scientology, a religion which people have written a lot about, but much of it absolute nonsense. Just because John, and several other leading Hollywood stars, are members of the religion does this imply that it is some sort of secret Illuminati-style power in LA? Of course not. Here are the facts about John's religion:
What does science mean? Science means knowledge. What does ology mean? Ology means study of. Scientology is, then, the study of knowledge. Can you think of a better thing to study than knowledge?
John responded to scientology's explanation of our existence as they tally with scientific beliefs, namely that humans have been around for millions, not thousands of years. He has said in interviews that he found the explanations that conventional religions give about our origins unconvincing and found scientology's version much more plausible:
75 million years ago, Xenu, the tyrant alien ruler of the Galactic Confederacy, a group of 76 nearby planets, hatched an evil plan. Because the confederacy was suffering from overpopulation, he told billions of his fellow aliens that they were being taken to earth for tax auditing, and brought them here in spacecraft resembling Douglas DC-8 airliners.
Xenu stacked the spacecraft around volcanoes and detonated hydrogen bombs inside the volcanoes, killing all the aliens inside, but inadvertently releasing their souls, or Thetans. Xenu ordered the capturing and brainwashing of these Thetans, and once performed, allowed these indoctrinated creatures to remain on earth as humans began to evolve. Many of these "Body Thetans" have since come to walk among us and contribute to the problems that plague human civilisation.
Our quest as Scientologists is to free ourselves from these brainwashed thetans and attain a type of salvation. John realised that scientology doesn't want anything from you, then, except for you to liberate yourself and fulfil your full potential. We believe the true identity of a person - the pure, unbrainwashed Thetan - is an intrinsically good, omniscient, non-material core capable of unlimited creativity.

To add further drama and confusion to the story of Edward Snowden, NSA Spying and Central Intelligence Agency involvement, a passenger on a U.S. bound flight out of Hong Kong Monday claimed that intelligence agents had detained him, were going to kidnap him, take him to a safe house, and that they planned to kill him because of his knowledge about the recently released leaks.
According to witnesses, passenger Daniel M. Perry relayed to other passengers aboard the plane that he was a government worker, a claim that was later confirmed by sources.
According to law enforcement officials the man went on a "bizarre" rant. His actions were described by a CBS news report as an "erratic and disturbing anti-government rant."
Read the eye witness accounts below and listen to some of the audio and decide for yourself.
Are these rantings of a madman? Or, given that Perry has been verified as a federal employee and was on his way to the United States from Hong Kong, where Edward Snowden is reportedly hiding out, could there be more to this story then just another deranged, unruly commercial airline traveler?
"He complained about being shot with darts during the entire flight," passenger Jacques Roizen told CBS 2's Tracee Carrasco.
"He never threatened any individual on the plane. He didn't threaten to blow up the plane. He didn't threaten to divert the plane. He was just saying he had information relating to Ed Snowden," passenger Peter Jones added.
"He said he worked for the U.S. Embassy in Abu Dhabi and he was being detained by the CIA and was being transferred and his life was in danger," Jones told Diamond.
The situation got pretty unnerving in a hurry, passengers said.
"All of a sudden, there's a guy screaming about national security, CIA, covert operations," said Roizen, of Manhattan.
Via NY CBS
A man who said he was on the same flight as the unruly passenger and recorded the incident with his phone played the audio for reporters. The passenger who recorded the clip did not wish to give his name.
On the recording the man who caused the incident screamed and repeated "I'm dead" 23 times.
"Snowden? No, he's right! I know this now, I know this because of what just happened to me. He's totally right," the disruptive passenger said, then continued to rant about the NSA.
Jones said he never heard the man threaten passengers or the plane. While the plane was still in the air the FBI said the man had claimed everyone aboard the plane was being poisoned, but the agency later said it was working to clarify what the man said.
"He said something that people are going to poison him, that he was going to die," Jones said.
On the recording the man claimed to work for the government.
"You work for the CIA! If you work for the National Reconnaissance Office, you will not get a trial by jury. You will not get a trial by jury. They think I've done something wrong, put me in front of a judge," he said, "say I'm guilty."
In the audio the man claimed to be "dead already, they're gonna kill me."
Via Washington Post
"Please God, somebody help me, please somebody help me, somebody help me," the man is heard screaming on an audio clip that was recorded with a passenger's smartphone.
"I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead!" the man repeats over and over again.
Roizen said he and several other passengers tackled the agitated man and helped flight attendants handcuff him. They helped keep him settled in place until the plane landed five hours later.
Via Fox NY
Who is Daniel Morgan Perry?
Is he really married to a Chinese spy?
What was he doing on a flight from Hong Kong to the United States, given that he is reportedly a mid east embassy employee?
And why did he freak out about being murdered by the NSA, FBI or CIA?
Some additional videos, reports and interviews follow.
He was screaming something to the effect that he had information about something Edward Snowden released, and that he had information for the U.S. but he was being hussled away by the CIA and being taken away to some safehouse, never to be seen again.
He did not seem excessively disturbed. He was not running up and down the aisles. He was not attempting to hurt anyone. He was not moving about in any agitated fashion.
He was just yelling in a loud voice to make certain that everyone heard him.
That eye witness report is a far cry from the erratic anti-government rant claimed by mainstream media.

(visited by Darren Finck and Joe Lambiotte)
14-Sep-2002 -- After learning of the Confluence Project (shortly after acquiring my GPS), I was a little disappointed that 'all' of the confluences in my home state of Florida were visited. After looking a little closer, I noticed two of the visited confluences were off-shore. Looking further I saw that 25N 81W is in the Everglades National Park (ENP). More specifically, it is in western Florida Bay, about 2.5 miles south of Sandy Key, nestled in the middle of an inter-tidal zone known as "Oxfoot Bank". After double-checking that it is within the boundaries of the state, Joe and I began making plans to visit.

text: UNICEF Mozambique Mozambique is home to some of the poorest and most marginalized families in the world. For these vulnerable families every day is a struggle to achieve basic securities like food and shelter. Illnesses, including HIV and AIDS are common, as is economic migration. Often children are left without parents to care for themselves or are taken in by elderly grandparents. The UN, in collaboration with the government of Mozambique, have taken steps to help these families and provided them with opportunities to access greater security and contribute to social growth and development. However, this work is far from complete, the impact of poverty, HIV and other illnesses is still highly visible. The stories of these families inspire hope, as change happens through individual and institutional actions.
