Internet Explorer 11.0.9600.17631 / 11.0.16 and also prior versions of IE11.
The vulnerability is an exploitable use-after-free (UAF) vulnerability that occurs within a custom heap in JSCRIPT9 JIT. Since the vulnerability exists within a custom heap, it may allow an attacker to bypass memory protection technologies.
Microsoft has published a fix for this vulnerability on July 14, 2015 and additional information can be found at https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/security/ms15-065.aspx. We recommend users apply this update as soon as possible.
Hello is an execution violation sull'eip, I can not control the eip deterministically but seems controllable by the user and should allow code execution.
The researcher does not mention the class of bug at all which is odd and provides no analysis. If we look further in the email chains, we find the POC and an employee of HT saying basically that it looks interesting and could be a use after free but basically it looks hard.
I did some testing with fast poc sent, at a glance:>> - only crashes with IE11> - sounds interesting, the value of EIP and EAX, should be a use after free> - the poc contains about 80 mutations of the Sun, on the poc old style of Rosario, which is why the root causes> analysis and exploitation does not seem trivial.
We got curious about the details of the crash and downloaded the PoC (803C696C.94C798F2.131_2.html) and removed all the irrelevant artifacts from the researcher's fuzzer. The result can be seen below.
Our question is -- Is this bug a use after free, or something else? Lets get in a debugger and find out!
We can certainly see what the HT employee was saying about EAX and EIP at the time of the crash.
This breakpoint is hit several times. On the last time, we step forward until the next relevant call, which is as below.
It appears to come from the return value of jscript9!NativeCodeGenerator::CheckCodeGen. If we look in IDA, there are 3 paths that lead to the return of this function.
We will need to single step this function to get a better grasp. Restarting the program with a breakpoint at jscript9!NativeCodeGenerator::CheckCodeGen.
On the last bp hit before the crash, we can set a new breakpoint and follow to the end of the function.
Above, we can see our return value is 073e0000, which will later be the address that will be jumped to, corrupting EIP. This value traces to the return value of jscript9!NativeCodeGenerator::CheckCodeGenDone, as indicated in the image.
Tracing EDI backwards, we can see it was a parameter to jscript9!Js::ScriptFunction::UpdateThunkEntryPoint.
We now need to trace ESI. We can see that ESI comes from a dereference of EAX.
ECX here is the 'this' pointer.
So our return value from jscript9!NativeCodeGenerator::CheckCodeGenDone, in this circumstance is is poi(poi(poi(this+0x14)+0x10)+0x04), and that is what is corrupted.
07560000 ???????? ???????? ???????? ????????
07560010 ???????? ???????? ???????? ????????
07560020 ???????? ???????? ???????? ????????
07560030 ???????? ???????? ???????? ????????
07560040 ???????? ???????? ???????? ????????
07560050 ???????? ???????? ???????? ????????
07560060 ???????? ???????? ???????? ????????
07560070 ???????? ???????? ???????? ????????
Note that EAX (068d0000) is being moved to [ebx+4] (068a7124). Also of note is we are still in the MSHTML!CElement::InsertBefore callstack, which we can trace back to the PoC.
Thus the return value of jscript9!InterpreterThunkEmitter::GetNextThunk must be invalid. Lets investigate.
Our breakpoint for the this ptr got hit. Lets unassemble and look at the callstack.
So it does indeed appear that our this pointer is being freed.
06c70000 ???????? ???????? ???????? ????????
06c70010 ???????? ???????? ???????? ????????
06c70020 ???????? ???????? ???????? ????????
06c70030 ???????? ???????? ???????? ????????
06c70040 ???????? ???????? ???????? ????????
06c70050 ???????? ???????? ???????? ????????
06c70060 ???????? ???????? ???????? ????????
06c70070 ???????? ???????? ???????? ????????
Cool! Our memory has indeed become free'd. Lets continue execution for good measure.
What is odd now, is that although our memory breakpoint didnt fire again, there is no pageheap information about 06c70000. Lets start from the beginning and just set a breakpoint where it appears our ptr has been free'd.
056fb000 ???????? ???????? ???????? ????????
056fb010 ???????? ???????? ???????? ????????
056fb020 ???????? ???????? ???????? ????????
056fb030 ???????? ???????? ???????? ????????
056fb040 ???????? ???????? ???????? ????????
056fb050 ???????? ???????? ???????? ????????
056fb060 ???????? ???????? ???????? ????????
Here, poi(@ecx+120) is code as we expect. Lets set a memory breakpoint on 056faff0, which contains the ptr to that code.
This looks reasonably normal. So what gives?
What does jscript9!EmitBufferManager::FreeAllocations do exactly?
Ok. So, we dont have pageheap information because the fault is occuring inside a custom heap implementation in JSCRIPT9. That makes some sense.
We now know that we are attemting to access memory that has been freed by CustomHeap::Heap::Free, but where was it allocated?
Browsing the symbols we find the releveant funciton NewAllocation and set our breakpoint.
So we have seen that we have a buffer allocated in a custom heap implementation with jscript9!EmitBufferManager::NewAllocation that contains executable code, which is then freed by jscript9!EmitBufferManager::FreeAllocations. This memory is then used again in jscript9!NativeCodeGenerator::CheckCodeGenThunk causing our crash in a use-after-free type scenerio.

The Polk County Charter was developed in 1997 by a Charter Commission appointed by the County Commission and the Constitutional Officers (Sheriff, Clerk of Courts, Supervisor of Elections, Tax Collector, Property Appraiser). The Charter Commission developed the Charter and submitted it to the voters for their reaction in the November 1998 general election. Voters approved it by a wide margin.
The Charter requires that by July 1st of every eighth year after 2001 a Charter Review Commission again be appointed to review the Charter and to present to the Board of County Commissioners any recommended revisions.
At its final meeting in January 2014, the Efficiency Commission voted to recommend that the Charter be changed to eliminate the Commission. This amendment terminates the current Charter requirement to appoint the Polk County Efficiency Commission every eight years and amends Charter provisions related to appointment standards, qualifications, duties of members and other officers, commission reports and required responses.
Currently, Commissioners are term-limited after two, four-year terms. This will amend the County Charter to allow an incumbent to appear on the ballot for re-election to the office of County Commissioner for 12 consecutive years. Service as a Commissioner before November 20, 2018 shall be counted against the term limitation.
Amends the County Charter to increase the time between appointments of the mandatory Polk County Charter Review Commission to 12 years. Adds explanatory language to the County Charter confirming the County Commission's authority to propose charter amendments and to create a special advisory charter review board at any time.
What is a County Charter?
It is a written document defining the structure, powers, and functions of government within a county of Florida. It is analogous to a "constitution" for the county's residents.
Which counties in Florida currently have Charters?
How do charter governments differ from non-charter governments?
Additional powers are given to a county if they are expressly provided for in its charter as adopted by its citizens. These must be consistent with state law, but may include such topics as the structure of the County Commission and offices such as the Clerk and Sheriff, the manner by which commissioners are elected, policy on delivery of county services, etc. All changes must be approved by a vote of the electorate of Polk County before they can be implemented.


Aquatic telemetry: advances and applications. Proceedings of the Fifth Conference on Fish Telemetry held in Europe. Ustica, Italy, 9-13 June 2003.Habitat rehabilitation for inland fisheries. Global review of effectiveness and guidance for rehabilitation of freshwater ecosystems.Stock assessment for fishery management – A framework guide to the stock assessment tools of the Fisheries Management Science Programme (FMSP).
The Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries (EAF) is becoming the main reference framework for managing fisheries and implementing the principles of sustainable development. The principles that underpin EAF clearly emerged in the 1995 Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF), inherited from the 1982 Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), its Agenda 21 and the 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).
Most of the Fisheries and Aquaculture Department work is dedicated to promoting and monitoring responsible fisheries development and management, consistent with the CCRF. The FAO Technical Guidelines for Responsible Fisheries directly address the issue of EAF implementation by providing guidance on how to translate the economic, social and ecological policy goals and aspirations of sustainable development of EAF into operational objectives, indicators and performance measures. Other publications that deal with the broader aspects of EAF or address and expand on specific aspects of its implementation are also prepared.
Several projects and other FAO activities address EAF through concerted efforts aimed at simultaneously achieving progress in several if not most of the relevant aspects of EAF in selected locations or ecosystems.
Among other, projects are interesting location in the Benguela Current area, the Lesser Antilles, the African region, the Mediterranean and also dealing with sea turtles and fisheries interactions; reduction of shrimp bycatch; deep sea fishing; marine protected areas; reduction of incidental catch of seabirds; conservation and management of sharks; assessment and mapping of fishery resources; species identification; biodiversity index estimation; safety at sea; marking of fishing vessels; participatory approaches, socio-economic and institutional aspects of EAF.
Considering that inland fisheries are strongly impacted by other users of water and land resources, its management through an ecosystem approach is the best way to take into account both internal and external factors. Ecosystem approach to inland fisheries main purpose is to engage all stakeholders and to plan, develop and manage fisheries in a manner that addresses the multiple needs and desires of societies, without jeopardizing the options for future generations to benefit from the full range of goods and services provided by freshwater/inland water ecosystems.
The Department, in collaboration with partners, conducts international symposia, studies and analyses on management of inland fisheries. Key activities have included the Second Large River Symposium and production of guidelines on fishery management, floodplain fisheries and improving information.
The Department has produced a CD-ROM, Introduced Species in Fisheries and Aquaculture: information for responsible use and control, available through the service or FAO distribution and sales.
The Department, often in collaboration with partners, has produced significant publications on habitat rehabilitation for fisheries including restoration of fish passage at weirs and dams, on the basis of the regulations set out in the CCRF and the related Technical Guidelines No.6. The Department is also investigating the use of telemetry as a means to study the biology and the behaviour of fish to generate better data for an increase of benefits for fisheries and aquaculture.

With a Game of Thrones, however, he broke through the barriers of the fantasy genre, bringing to light a unique story-telling structure that is sure to set a new benchmark for future generations of fantasy writers. Perhaps the most interesting facet of the Game of Thrones is how Martin manages to create a world that is fantastical and realistic at the same time. While the setting has hints of magic, dragons, and otherworldly creatures, these are used more to enrich the world and the characters rather than to serve as the driving forces of the story.
Another intriguing feature of the game is its unique, character-driven nature. Instead of highlighting the fantastical elements of the world, director focuses on the human nature of its main players. A Game of Thrones is just that - a power struggle between four main families, the Baratheons, Starks, Lannisters, and Targaryens, who are vying for control of the Iron Throne in much the same way as War of the Roses. The story is told from the viewpoint of eight different characters that represent each of these families.
Recognize what kinds of information can spoil the plot: It's easy to forget that things that seem harmless can spoil the plot in the worst way. For example, a character that was always part of the previous seasons' promos doesn't appear to be in the most recent promotional materials, there's a pretty good chance that the character met with some sort of agonizing demise.
Get caught up: The web is absolutely full of information intended for people who are current with Game of Thrones and doesn't care to warn about spoilers for people who are a season or two behind. It's pretty much a standard practice for entertainment.
Avoid social media pitfalls: If you can't watch an episode as it airs in the Eastern US, avoid social media until you can view it. Even if your friends are careful to warn about spoilers, you may be subscribed to feeds that have other subscribers who do not avoid spoilers, or worse.
Be careful about who you discuss with: Not everyone has the brains to not spoil things - even after being warned not to. I recently had a conversation with someone who decided to tell me that he had a theory that he had come up with, but it turned out that he had gotten "his" theory off of the internet from people who had read the books and I now, not wanting to, know something about.
Game Of Thrones Might Give Us A Movie: Charles Dance makes a good point when he says that translating the dense and multi-tiered storytelling of Game of Thrones into a movie will be difficult - but allow me to take that thought one step further do we really need a Game of Thrones film? Sure, it would be fantastic to see the Seven Kingdoms up on the big screen.

Q: SVN: How to make a file read-only with subversion? I am working on a large web project which is managed in an SVN repository.
Each time a team member checks out the project, or we check out the project on a new production server, we have to modify a custom configuration file for that server. I have a "config.ini.base" file under revision control, which we keep updated with the latest settings, the idea being that team members copy that to create their "config.ini" (which is listed under 'ignore' on the directory).
To avoid confusion and mistakes, I'd like to somehow block any changes to "config.ini.base" from being committed to the repository, unless it is committed explicitly or the read-only setting is somehow explicitly overridden. How would I do this?

A: Try setting up the pre-commit hook from here
http://www.cita.utoronto.ca/~shirokov/soft/svn-hooks/svn-read-only/pre-commit
Once you have it set up, set the svn-read-only property onto your file (or a directory) with
svn ps svn-read-only on config.ini.base

A: svn lock
Also, worth a read is Advanced Locking

A: As Trevor and Craig have said, the way to do is with SVN's locking capabilities.
Setting svn:needs-lock on a file will make it read-only unless the user has locked the file.
Here is a link to the most recent documentation (the other links are out of date).

Iowa State wide receiver Deshaunte Jones relishes final game as a Cyclone
By Zach Seifter, Florida Citrus Sports
ORLANDO, Fla. — It didn't take long for him to make his decision.
Deshaunte Jones' official visit to Iowa State came on Jan. 29, 2016. He was a Cyclone by Feb. 1.
"I remember I came up on [my] official visit, it was the last visit of the weekend, and I still didn't really know where I was going to school," Jones said Tuesday morning at Camping World Stadium before the Cyclones held their first Camping World Bowl practice since arriving in Orlando Monday afternoon. "And once I got out here, coach [Matt] Campbell basically was like, 'Man, this is the place you should be.'"
The 5-foot-10 receiver out of Cincinnati had seven official offers, including multiple from Power 5 football programs, including Wisconsin and West Virginia. He'd also been a target of Campbell's when the fourth-year Cyclones head coach was still at Toledo. The Cyclones hired Campbell in November 2015, and ultimately Campbell was able to convince Jones to follow him to Ames, as well.
Jones found success early on, hauling in 37 catches for 536 receiving yards and six touchdowns as a freshman. The effort made him one of the most productive first-year wideouts in the country, and over the next two seasons, Jones caught another 71 passes for 639 yards. But it was this year that the senior truly broke out, with 72 catches for 832 yards and two scores, including a season-high 144 yards in a win over Texas in November.
His contributions has helped the Cyclones to a 7-5 season and a third straight bowl appearance, including the team's first Orlando bowl trip, for Saturday's game against No. 15 Notre Dame. However, Jones' leadership both on and off the field have arguably been his biggest contribution to Iowa State during his career at the school.
"He's so quiet, but he's kind of that quiet leader, you know?" Campbell said of Jones' leadership Tuesday. "And he's a guy that is confident. I think he's done everything in his power to be the best version of him he can be, and I think guys have seen that … young players have seen that, and they've been able to rally around that."
One of those young players is Deshaunte's brother, Keontae, a member of the Cyclones' secondary. Additionally, the elder Jones' connection with sophomore quarterback Brock Purdy has played a huge role in Iowa State's growth in recent seasons.
That bond is also one of the main reasons Iowa State made its way to the Camping World Bowl, where Jones will play his last game in cardinal and gold in just a few days. And while he's not feeling too emotional just yet, he knows the flood is coming.
"I don't think it really has hit me yet that this is my last game," Jones said. "But I'm pretty sure after the game it will probably hit me harder."
Whether he's ready or not, Jones' four-year journey as a Cyclone comes to a close on Saturday. All of the work, all of the sweat and all of the emotions will be in the past once the clock hits zero.
Regardless of the result, however, one thing is for sure: His last-second decision to go to Iowa State will go down as one of his best.

Keep a weathered eye out for a beautiful replica of an 18th century schooner, and be sure to visit the wheel house at the top of the stairs.

Q: Change navbar height I'm currently using the gae boilerplate for my application.
I want to change the size of the navbar component but I don't find the attribute to do it.
I have already searched the responses from others subjects but I don't find the attribute to change the height in the css or less bootstrap files.
Is there anyone who has already used the gae boilerplate and can give me an answer ?
Thank you

A: For twitter bootstrap, set the height or min-height property of the .navbar-inner class.
For example:
.navbar-inner {
    height: 80px;
}

FIDDLE

A: I found that I needed to change the padding on the navbar class and the nav class for lists:
.navbar .brand,
.navbar .nav > li > a {
    padding: 0 30px 0 30px;
}

A: The accepted answer only worked partially for me on Bootstrap 2.12. This worked better for me (where .widget is the class of the items I want to have smaller navbars on):
.navbar .brand,
.navbar .nav > li > a {
    padding: 8px 10px 0px 10px;
}
.navbar-inner{
    min-height:16px;
}
.navbar .navbar-inner .brand {
    margin-top: 0px;
}
.widget .navbar .navbar-inner .nav .dropdown a {
    margin-top: 0px;
}
.widget .navbar .navbar-inner a.btn {
    margin-top: 2px;
}


If you followed me on Twitter (I don't even know why I signed up for this thing ages ago, still don't really see the purpose of it for people like me), you would know that I went to yet another pool party just this last week following the family reunion on Sunday at our house.
We went to Mr. L's aunt's home in Mesquite where everyone jumped in the pool and played while I just sat on the chair taking pictures (I didn't bring my swim suit, which was kinda silly of me). I just love taking pictures of little children! They are so adorable and have the sweetest and most innocent laugher and smiles.
Here are a few pictures I took of the most photogenic people I know. No editing this time. Enjoy the cuteness!

Who is Norman William? Norman William is Pierre Doris Maltais, born in East Angus, Quebec. It is also Piel Petjo Maltest, Dr. Man, the prince of Faucigny-Lucinge Malatesta and Sag Molinn Tiam. He is known to have a good dozen or so identities and just as many roles in international political, financial and humanitarian enterprises. Jacques Godbout found him somewhere in Europe, without papers, hounded by the press, bothered by the law, and taking care of the injuries from the twenty-eighth attempt on his life. The filmmaker searches through his story, questions his family, his friends, his protectors and his detractors, too. But as the investigation advances, the mystery becomes deeper. Who is Norman William?

A report on Work Health and Safety (WHS) issues in regards to Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) and Synthetic Greenhouse Gases (SGG) is available to download.
The Analysis of Work Health and Safety Data for the Use of Synthetic Greenhouse Gases and Substitutes in the Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Industry report is a combination of a review and an analysis of the 2012 report, Baseline Analysis of Work Health and Safety Data and Information for the Use of Synthetic Greenhouse Gases and Substitutes in the Australian Gas Industry Sector.
The report identified and analysed five main issues relating to the management of WHS risks identfied in the 2012 report: WHS risks from the perspective of WHS regulators, developments in international standards, the effect of the introduction & repeal of the Carbon Tax and two WHS incidents.
The outcomes from the analysis of these five main issues included, but were not limited to: a debate about how a national licensing system could work especially with technicians working close to state borders, discussions of reporting requirements for workers compensation claims in different states, highlighting a new draft Standard AS/NZS 5149 Refrigeration Safety and Environment that is due to be released, revealing that the quantity of gas received by Refrigerant Reclaim Australia for destruction while the Carbon Tax was implemented was reduced by half and the revelation of WHS incidents following two major incidents in Victoria and WA.
The report concluded with an emphasis on the need to increase reporting of minor WHS incidents, as well as increased education programs on WHS in the RAC industry so opportunities can be provided for early intervention.

Exorcising the Haunted Past
Capt. Renault tries to get Rick to fess up.
"We may be through with the past, but the past ain't through with us" – Magnolia (a movie I detested, proving again that flowers sometimes grow from a pile of manure)
I saw a tweet flit through this morning about how someone was wishing that just once, a character wasn't haunted by his or her past. At first it's a sentiment one might rush to agree with, given the seeming flood in popular culture of privileged yet angst-ridden characters wailing to the cold, unfeeling world that no one can possibly understand the soul-scraping depth of their pain. The impetus to scream "get over it!" in those instances can be difficult to resist. But it's probably overly simplistic to blame the trope of the "haunted past," given that the reason it still functions is that everyone you meet has a past, and in quite a few of those cases, it wasn't all smiles und sunshine. We are creatures of linear time; our past informs the decisions we make in the present as we plan for the future. The concept of learning is based on the notion that we must garner wisdom by making mistakes, reflecting on those mistakes and correcting them to be able to go forward. The propagation of the human race depends on this. How many of us are married to the first person we ever dated? Do we not apply the lessons from the fumbling moments of that first awkward relationship to our subsequent dalliances in the hopes of establishing a permanent connection with the right person? Yet admittedly, as company, we become tiresome if we dwell forever on things we once did wrong – if we live in that past instead of simply letting ourselves be guided by it.
In the creation of enduring characters, this is a tricky tightrope to walk. Expecting an audience to sympathize with a perfect person who has made no mistakes and regrets nothing is a tall order, and few writers (at least those that are not perpetual amateurs) would dare try. The problem is that most force the pendulum too far in the opposite direction. Allegorically (though somewhat to the point of cliché) the past can indeed be considered a heavy load borne on the character's back. However, that burden should be in an appropriate weight class – if a perfectly healthy adult is going to moan about dragging a five-pound barbell around then they're going to lose our interest and attention pretty darn fast. More appealing are those who carry their pasts privately instead of on their sleeves. They have a history but they don't dwell on it; they don't broadcast it to any and all within range and grab at every precious fragment of pity. If one is to look for a singular example of this, eyes should wander no further than Batman. Bruce Wayne is changed profoundly by the death of his parents and his inability to exact vengeance for their murder. It's what drives him to don the cape and cowl and roam the night skies beating the crap out of criminals for the rest of his days, on an ultimately futile quest to make the pain go away. Note that what's important about this is that he does something. He doesn't let his grief cripple him into inaction, into endless sessions of whining to Alfred about how the world is so hard and he just can't catch a break. Instead, he becomes the goddamn Batman. Would Batman be believable, or even interesting, if he was just some silver-spoon-fed playboy billionaire with loving, very much alive parents, who decided to fight crime for something to do on Tuesday evenings? Hardly. The haunted past is an integral part of his character. What it is not, though, is the entirety of his existence going forward. This, I think, is where some may err, both in creating characters and living their actual lives.
I've argued before that characters haunted by a past that is never explained are the most compelling of all. William Goldman makes this point in his book Which Lie Did I Tell? and points to a famous exchange from Casablanca whereby you learn the entirety of Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart)'s backstory, or at least all you're going to get out of him:
CAPTAIN RENAULT
What in heaven's name brought you to Casablanca?
My health. I came to Casablanca for the waters.
The waters? What waters? We're in the desert.
I was misinformed.
This works so much better than had Rick launched into a meandering history lesson about his impoverished childhood working in a Brooklyn sweatshop making mattress springs for a nickel a day, followed by his hard-luck teenage years picking fights over candy bars, the tragic loss of his first love in an unfortunate streetcar accident and his subsequent quest to find himself at the bottom of whisky bottles in speakeasies across Chicago. Dear gods, I'm bored just writing this imagined synopsis of his life; how tedious a man would Rick Blaine be, and how swiftly forgotten by movie audiences, if he decided to spill something similar to Captain Renault? By being evasive about his past, Rick keeps us interested. His inscrutability makes his choices that much more difficult to guess, that much more compelling to watch. Until the very end we don't know that he isn't going to take the letters of transit for himself and Ilsa and leave Victor Laslo behind as a prize for the Nazis. It hasn't been telegraphed for us by dwelling to the point of exhaustion on What Makes Rick Miserable.
The lesson for today, then, is to keep a lid on the angst. The haunted past should not be a cement block in which the character is forever anchored, flailing his or her arms to get people to pay attention (and perhaps bring a sledge hammer to shatter it). It should inform their choices but not overwhelm them in a cesspool of woe-is-me. As Goldman says, play it as it lays. It's noteworthy that in almost all good time travel fiction, the character who has a chance to change an old mistake comes to realize that mistake is a crucial part of their life and that things are ultimately better the way they always were. Indeed, we are never truly through with the past, it's who we are. However, we, and the characters we write, can choose how we wear it. We can wallow, and keep pointing out our scars to passersby in the vain hope the lines will somehow fade away, but they won't. Instead, as we go forward, those scars can be our roadmap. And with a good map at our side there's no reason to keep it in first gear.

We had such a fantastic night being part of Fitness Friday at the Stratford Fall Fair! Sherry led a lively, crowd-pleasing Zumba mini-set which got everyone pumped up for a fun-filled night of fitness. A huge thanks to our members for coming out and shaking it along with us.
Fitness Friday was an opportunity for us to promote healthy, active living along with other amazing local businesses. Besides our Zumba set, we were treated to demonstrations on Urban Poling (One Care), Aerial Acrobatics (Cirquesmith), PoundFit (Natural Motion), Yoga (lululemon) and Body Circuit (World Gym). It was so inspiring to see everyone come together to share and promote their love of fitness with the community!
We would also like to extend a special thanks to Alicia Horne of the Stratford & District Agricultural Society for putting on such a fabulous event. Your hard work, dedication and passion is so motivating, and we're very lucky to have you as part of Team Inspired!
Please join us in welcoming two new members to Team Inspired - Sydney Touzel and Alicia Horne! Both Sydney and Alicia will be teaching some evening Boot Camp classes (along with Sherry and Joan) starting this week!
Get Ready for Beginner Boot Camp!
You decided you're ready to challenge yourself and try something new, so you signed up for Beginner Boot Camp. That's great! But if putting your name on that list has you wondering what you got yourself into, we get it, and we're here for you!
Boot Camp combines strength and cardio exercises for a total body workout. It will get your heart pumping, make you sweat and challenge your muscles. The whole concept can be a little intimidating, but don't worry – there's a first time for everyone, so know that you're in good company if you are struggling to keep up. Learning the moves, perfecting your form and getting stronger are the whole point. You have to start somewhere! And what better place to do so than in the welcoming and comfortable setting at Inspired by Fitness?!
Do some research before you head to class, so you have some idea what to expect. Each class will be a bit different to add variation to your workout routine and help to avoid plateaus. You could be doing anything from burpees to bicep curls to jump squats to tricep dips, so it's a good idea to acquaint yourself with the lingo so that you are prepared for whatever comes your way. The instructor will walk you through every exercise, but please do not hesitate to speak up if you have any questions. Proper form prevents injuries and ensures an optimal workout.
You don't need any special workout attire – you can dress in the workout clothes you feel most comfortable in. But keep in mind you're going to get heated, so we suggest you wear breathable clothing that helps sweat evaporate. If you're going to invest in a few new pieces of clothing, look for labels that say "dri-fit" and "moisture-wicking".
Lace up your kicks. Working out in a pair of worn-out shoes can be detrimental to your fitness success since things like lack of support, shock absorption and protection in your shoes can lead to injury. And injuries can slow, or even halt, your fitness progress. Check out our blog from May 2017 entitled "Is it time to retire your kicks?" for more information.
Hydrate before class. A good rule of thumb is to drink one to two cups of water two hours prior to class. Then one to two cups more 15-20 minutes before class. Also remember to bring a full water bottle with you to class – that way you're prepared to replenish what you sweat out.
Don't forget that food is fuel. You will be expending quite a bit of energy at your class, so you want to be properly fueled. Eating something at least an hour before your class will help you avoid getting nauseous and give you energy to power through.
Seek out the instructor and say hi. Introducing yourself to your instructor before the session starts and letting them know if you have any injuries and/or limitations is a great idea since they can look out for you if you're confused or nervous about an exercise.
Arrive early to your first class. You need time to mentally prepare yourself for the workout ahead and get used to the environment. And who knows – maybe you'll meet a new friend!
Don't worry about feeling silly during your first class. Follow along as best as you can, and don't worry if there is something you can't do. Enjoy the experience and listen to your body. It's your first time doing this, so it will tell you what it does and doesn't like.
Listen to your body. You're trying something brand new, so be extra attentive to your body. If you get tired, take a break. If you need water, drink some. Don't be afraid to do what your body needs. You don't want to overdo it during your first class.
Don't become preoccupied with everyone else in class. Focus on yourself. Don't let the speeds other participants are going at or weights they are lifting affect you. Do what's best for you!
Once you're done, you'll feel awesome and inspired! It's a pretty great feeling to know you took the first step on your new fitness journey. But again, remember to take care of yourself afterwards. Drink water after class and try to eat in order to replenish your depleted energy stores so you can recover properly. And don't panic if you wake up the next morning feeling very sore – fight that feeling! This discomfort is normal and expected, and the key is to not stop moving. Continue to hydrate and stretch as it will help your body recover and maximize the results of your efforts.
Congratulations on making the decision to do something for yourself! We are so excited to welcome you to Beginner Boot Camp on Thursday, September 21st where we will help to you inspire to do more, to be more, to achieve more!


NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 24, 2007--From an ingenious dry erase page called the "Problem Pad" to "No Poke Pins," an innovative twist on traditional thumbtacks, Staples Inc. today announced the winners of the third Staples Invention Quest(R), its national search to find the next great product that makes school- or work-life easier. The 2007 Staples Invention Quest winners in the Kid, Adult and Staples Associate contests offer three unique product ideas that can make the lives of students and office professionals easier and more productive.
The victors emerged today after more than seven months of competition, where contestants faced a nominee, semifinal and final round before they became champions. The three prize-winning individuals competed against thousands of entries nationwide in categories such as computer accessories to furniture to organizational tools. Their winning creations were selected by a panel of inventor and entrepreneur judges and a public vote on www.staples.com/IQ. The winners were announced today at the NASDAQ MarketSite in New York City and presented with a $25,000 cash prize. The runners up in all categories each received $5,000. All of the finalists and winners are entitled to royalties if their products are produced and sold in Staples stores nationwide.
Keagan is a 10-year-old fourth-grader from Woodinville, Wash. Her invention, the Problem Pad, is a dry erase page with various learning tools that fits into a binder. While working on a difficult homework assignment, Keagan realized there had to be an easy way to keep her homework from turning out so messy. After talking with her father, she came up with the Problem Pad.
Mark is a toy inventor from Los Angeles, Calif. His invention, the No Poke Pin(TM), is a unique take on thumbtacks that stick anywhere a thumbtack would, but won't leave holes in items. No Poke Pins easily attach to walls and support any note, photo, receipt and more, without damaging them.
Rebecca works at the Staples home office in the human resources department. Her invention, the Drawerganizer, is a unique system of folding shelves that easily attaches to most desk drawers or filing cabinets. The shelves expand and collapse in a tiered manner, much like a jewelry box, when needed.
"Staples Invention Quest is a great way for us to learn directly from our customers and associates what products would make work and school life easier," said Shira Goodman, Staples Invention Quest judge and executive vice president of marketing for Staples, Inc. "The response from the public has been tremendous, both on our online voting site and in talking to customers at our stores. It is wonderful to see the excitement generated by the creativity and innovation from kids and adults alike."
Submissions in the three categories of Staples Invention Quest included a computer chair with an additional seat to a mouse pad that dims the computer monitor after a certain amount of time. This is also the first year the competition was opened up to kids through age 18. Staples collaborated with By Kids For Kids Co. (BKFK(TM)), a company motivated to inspire and stimulate innovation in kids, to introduce the new category and to encourage kids to explore and share their ideas that would make school-life better.
In the first-ever Staples Invention Quest Kids contest, teacher mentors were honored along with the student finalists as inspirations for creativity and innovation. Keagan's mentor, Karol Pulliam, principal of Cottage Lake Elementary, was honored with a $1,000 Staples gift card.
Judges for the finals event included Art Fry, inventor of the Post-it(R) Note; Donald Kelly, President of the United Inventors Association and intellectual property consultant, David Gregg, senior editor at Beststuff.com, kid inventor Scott Barnhill, creator of the Security One card, and two Staples executives. America's vote at www.staples.com/IQ gave the winning contestant five extra points onto their judging tally and factored into the determination of the winner.
"As a lifelong inventor, I appreciate the unique blend of creativity, intelligence, and realism that goes into new product development," said Art Fry, Staples Invention Quest judge and inventor of the Post-it Note. "It is wonderful that Staples recognizes this innovation and looks to consumers to uncover ideas for the next revolutionary products. After all, consumers know best how to make their lives easier, which is why Staples Invention Quest is such an effective initiative."
The 12 remaining finalist products in the competition included flash drive holders and organizational tools, a marker cap container, a filing cabinet with drawers that pull down instead of out, a customizable, transparent book cover and locker wallpaper.
Visit www.staples.com/IQ for more information on the contest and the finalist and winning inventions. To reach any of the winners for an interview, please contact Mari Martone at mmartone@taylorpr.com or 212-714-1280.
Staples Invention Quest is an open invitation across the U.S. for would-be inventors to have the chance to make their office product idea a reality. Multiple finalists' products may be brought to market under the Staples(R) brand and sold exclusively by Staples in its 1,900 U.S. stores and on Staples.com. A panel of judges will select the best office product entry and the winner will receive $25,000 and royalties if Staples brings the winning product to its shelves. The four remaining finalists will be awarded cash prizes of $5,000 and the possibility to have their idea created and sold by Staples.
Staples offers its customers more than 2,000 Staples brand products in stores, on Staples.com and through catalogs. Products range from ink and toner to paper, filing systems and technology accessories. All Staples products undergo an intense independent laboratory quality-testing program and are 100 percent satisfaction guaranteed.

Basketball Football Mailbag Rumors
Tuesday Mailbag: Basketball, VanGorder, Pike
by War Blogle 01/17/2012 4 133
After a holiday weekend family trip to Gatlinburg, and the longest drought in blogling over the last year and a half, I return with the new favorite post on the Blogle, the Tuesday (or whatever day it is that I post it) Mailbag. Welcome back, I know you missed me as much as I missed you, which is actually not that much. Sorry.
One of my unposted resolutions for 2012 was to do more blogling about basketball and baseball. Since I haven't done so yet, Michael all but forces me to in the first question of this week's mailbag.
I haven't seen much about Auburn basketball and you want to branch out more from football season so here are a few basketball related questions:
1) What do you think about Kenny Gabriel having the first triple-double in school history by recording 24 points, 13 rebounds, and 10 blocks?
Aside from being the best dunker on an Auburn basketball team since Chris Porter, Kenny Gabriel is also my favorite Auburn basketball player in some time. He's right up there with Kyle Davis and Marquis Daniels. Gabriel is something that Auburn has lacked for a long time: he's tall and lanky, which helps with the aforementioned dunking, but can still pop a three in your face.
He's the closest thing to an NBA basketball player that Auburn has had in a while. He doesn't play scared and stupid. He takes charge and plays like he wants to win, not like he knows he plays on a team that has struggled mightily for most of the past decade. He's just a fun player to watch because he knows what he's doing.
2) Do you think that playing Kentucky close (4 points) until the last 5 minutes was a fluke or a sign of things to come?
It's hard to tell. Auburn always seems to play Kentucky close at home, so it wasn't too surprising to me. It was sort of a shock to see them play with the #2 team for most of the game after back-to-back 30-point losses. It did prove that Auburn can play with anybody on any night, which only makes the nights they don't play up to that level more infuriating. But that pretty much speaks to how the game of basketball goes. Anybody can beat anybody.
All that being said, I think it showed promise, with their followup win over Ole Miss helping solidify that fact. We'll see how they do tonight and if it can transfer on the road at LSU. If it's an embarrassing loss, I don't think the Kentucky game proved anything other than the fact that Auburn plays well in front of a home crowd, which is for another blogle at another time.
Casey wants to talk about Auburn's recent addition to the coaching staff, and that guy that most would call the ultimate Auburn man.
Unlike everyone else, I'm won't go the obvious route and make a mustache or Uncle Rico joke. I'm excited about BVG cause he looks like he could stomp your a$$ into the ground. That's what we need in a coach. What are your thoughts?
I'll be honest. It took me a day or so to get over the fact that VanGorder spent a lot of his time on a Georgia sideline. But just like Trooper Taylor, who was at Tennessee, and Will Muschamp, who was at LSU, I got over it pretty quickly. Once they signed up to coach at Auburn, they were my best friends. I have also been an Atlanta Falcons fan for most of my life, so the fact that VanGorder had been their defensive coordinator for the past few years helped me get over his UGA days.
He is exactly what Auburn needs. All of his UGA defenses were successful and ranked in or near the Top 10 every year. He's hard-nosed, his players seem to like him, and he knows his role. He's a guy that wants to coach defense and that's it.
And what's not to love about a guy who sticks to what he knows? For example, he's had that hair and mustache since 1972. He knows what works and he knows what he likes. I like that.
Also, how bout Kodi Burns getting a coaching gig? Awesome for him. How long till we build him a statue? He deserves one.
Of course I wish Kodi was coaching as a GA at Auburn, but it just wasn't in the cards. He gets to go back home, coach under a guy he already knows, and get graduate school credit while doing it. Who would turn that down?
I'm sure he wishes he was playing in the NFL right now, but this has to be his next best option. He will always be an Auburn guy, and like Gus, is getting his feet wet at a school that won't threaten or probably even play Auburn anytime soon. He's got my full support.
Jake wants to know what the trash-tweetin', early enrollin', football slangin', Pike from the bluegrass means for Auburn's quarterback situation next season.
So with Zeke Pike coming into the picture, do you think that Kiehl Frazier will take on a role similar to what Kodi Burns did? Why or why not?
I'm guessing by your question that you mean Pike would come in and start and Frazier would be the running quarterback. To that I say there's no chance that happens. Unless there is some major offensive overhaul, I believe wholeheartedly that Frazier will start at quarterback next season. Zeke Pike will be able to go through Winter workouts and Spring practice, but as we saw last year with Frazier, it's very tough for a freshman to come in and just take over.
This year, although not much was done with him, Frazier gained tons of experience. It just all depends on what offense will be run next year. It's rumored that Chizik is looking for an offensive coordinator who uses more of a pro-style/spread combo, but I still think that fits in with Frazier's ability.
With Trotter leaving, it does give Pike more of a shot, but it will most definitely be Moseley or Frazier getting the majority of the snaps next season. I just think Frazier will and should get more, if not all of them.

War Triple Double!

Love reading the Warbloggle I'm very apprehensive about embracing a pro style offense because I saw Al Borges as a pro style guy and we fired him for not getting the points we needed. I don't know what the fascination is with going to a pro style offense it did nothing for FL. I like the college spread and I like the option style running attack that Malzahn added. I don't think that Coach C likes the hurry up because it puts the Defense back on the field quickly. Just my thoughts. I'm sweating Crisco over this OC hire.
I think I'm ready for Trooper to take over.

MARBELLA Council has presented an Ironman triathlon which it will be hosting on Sunday, September 19.
The council said that 1,300 athletes will take part in the triathlon in Marbella.
The Mayor of Marbella, Angeles Muñoz, said that there will be representatives from more than 60 countries.
She said: "Marbella once again shows the ability it has to organise top-level events, as well as the clear and determined commitment to a combination where it has been proven that the success of the sport leads to a very good economic return."
She added: "Each participant comes to the town with two or three companions, which in general terms of impact, even in these pandemic conditions, can directly exceed more than €3 million."
The mayor said: "The name of Marbella and the Ironman brand have been a great combination," and said that both in terms of sports and economics, it will be an important milestone to celebrate this event international level.
The triathlon will take place from 8 am on the beach of Levante in Puerto Banus, and will have a segment of swimming of 1,900 metres, another of cycling of 90 kilometres, with a circuit that will cross neighboring municipalities, including Monda, another one for running on the Paseo Maritimo of Marbella, of 21 kilometres on the Costa del Sol.

Russian Communism is the illegitimate child of Karl Marx and Catherine the Great.
Democracy means government by discussion, but it is only effective if you can stop people talking.
Mr. Chamberlain's Budget was the natural expression of the character of the present Government. There was hardly any increase allowed for the services which went to build up the life of the people, education and health. Everything was devoted to piling up the instruments of death. The Chancellor expressed great regret that he should have to spend so much on armaments, but said that it was absolutely necessary and was due only to the actions of other nations. One would think to listen to him that the Government had no responsibility for the state of world affairs.
… the Peace Treaties must be scrapped … I stand for no more war and no more secret diplomacy.
We have absolutely abandoned any idea of nationalist loyalty. We are deliberately putting a world order before our loyalty to our own country.
When we are returned to power we want to put in the statute book an act which will make our people citizens of the world before they are citizens of this country.
The difference between the House of Commons and the House of Lords is the difference between a newly poured glass of champagne and one that has stood for five days.
Often the 'experts' make the worst possible Ministers in their own fields. In this country we prefer rule by amateurs.
There were few who thought him a starter,
Many who thought themselves smarter.
But he ended PM,
CH and OM,
an Earl and a Knight of the Garter.
You have no right whatever to speak on behalf of the Government. Foreign affairs are in the capable hands of Ernest Bevin. His task is quite sufficiently difficult without the irresponsible statements of the kind you are making... I can assure you there is widespread resentment in the Party at your activities and a period of silence on your part would be welcome.
We are told in the White Paper that there is danger against which we have to guard ourselves. We do not think you can do it by national defence. We think you can only do it by moving forward to a new world – a world of law, the abolition of national armaments with a world force and a world economic system. I shall be told that that is quite impossible.
It's a good maxim that if you have a good dog you don't bark yourself. I had a very good dog in Mr Ernest Bevin.
You will be judged by what you succeed at gentlemen, not by what you attempt
Decisions stem from judgment. A Cabinet is not a place for eloquence — one reason why good politicians are not good Cabinet Ministers. It is Judgement which is needed to make important decisions on imperfect knowledge in a limited time.
There is a denial of the value of the individual. Christianity affirms the value of each individual soul. Nazism denies it. The individual is sacrificed to the idol of the German Leader, German State or the German race. The ordinary citizen is allowed to hear and think only as the rulers decree.
I must remind the right honourable gentleman that a monologue is not a decision.
The voice we heard was that of Mr Churchill but the mind was that of Lord Beaverbrook.
To a memorandum from the Ministry of Works saying, 'We have read the Cabinet's proposals':
The Cabinet does not propose, it decides.
I am pleased to see from the laughter on the Ministerial benches that there is no implication on their part to take Sir Oswald Mosley too seriously. It can easily be seen today that this idea of a dictator is gradually falling down.
If the King asks you to form a Government you say 'Yes' or 'No', not 'I'll let you know later!'
Few thought he was even a starter
There were many who thought themselves smarter
But he ended PM
CH and OM
Describing himself
I should be a sad subject for any publicity expert. I have none of the qualities which create publicity.
Attlee: I'm one of those people who are incapable of religious feeling.
Harris: Do you mean you have no feeling about Christianity, or that you have no feeling about God, Christ, and life after death?
Attlee: Believe in the ethics of Christianity. Can't believe in the mumbo jumbo.
Harris: Would you say you are in agnostic?
Attlee: I don't know.
Harris: Is there an after-life, do you think?
Attlee: Possibly.
I believe that conscience is a still small voice and not a loudspeaker.
The Government has now resolved to enter upon an arms race, and the people will have to pay for their mistake in believing that it could be trusted to carry out a policy of peace. … This is a War Budget. We can look in the future for no advance in Social Legislation. All available resources are to be devoted to armaments.
To be taken into account were some years of schooling, where I studied with diligence Neptune's laws, and these laws I tried to obey when I sailed overseas; it was worth the while.
Died: October 8, 1967 (aged 84)

Surprise wedding stuns Yellowknife Queerlesque audience
Published: August 13, 2018 at 4:28pm Ollie Williams August 13, 2018

A surprise wedding at the end of this year's Queerlesque show stunned the audience and even members of the cast.
Dee Fowler and Manda Fahy were married in a ceremony kept secret from all but a handful of the annual cabaret show's production team.
Dee, who co-produced this year's show, told Cabin Radio: "We had the cast doing curtain call, which buys us about three minutes. In that time I snuck out the back door, got mostly naked in the middle of the parking lot, slipped on a wedding dress, then we ran around to the other side of the building to enter from the front.
"Everybody got up on their feet, there was lots of crying. Every time I tried to gather myself and stop crying, I would look at one of the cast members behind me who was bawling.
"Someone in the cast had the foresight to grab handfuls of glitter to throw on us when we kissed, which was completely unscripted."
The idea began as a joke between Dee and a friend. When a plan to elope on vacation in Hawaii didn't pan out – "it didn't feel right," said Dee – the joke gradually became a reality.
"Many of my friends refer to me as the recluse. So when I got a phone call saying, 'Hey, just bear with me with this idea,' there were a few expletives," said Manda.
"But then, the excitement I heard in Dee's voice meant it was worth pursuing. The more fantastical it became, the more I was in. By the end, we were sold."
'You don't always have safe spaces'
With Queerlesque's cast members completely unaware, the couple – who met three years ago – hatched a plan among the show's producers, director, and stage manager.
The result, at the end of Saturday's performance, left members of both the audience and cast in tears of joy.

"For us, we have family – not all of them could be here – but we're also very aware that this is our chosen family," said Manda.
"To actually have all of these people in this room, most of them not knowing, was really good. To be in a room with everyone who knows you, understands you, loves you… the messages we're getting now and the 'I can't believe you didn't tell me's… it makes it all worthwhile.
"I was talking to a woman last night who was about 10 years older than me and she was saying this was her first time, in Yellowknife, going to something like this. She said it was great to be herself, that the days of hiding are far over."
Dee said: "There's something about the queer experience. You don't always have safe spaces and Queerlesque has always been our safe space.
"We can genuinely be who we are, and not worry about people not getting us."
