Diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicks
Memo to Itawamba Ag, Jack Cassell, and Scott Southworth: YOU ARE DICKS.
In this tough economy, it's important to focus on sectors that are thriving, and I'm here today to tell you that dicks are a growth industry in America. It seems like you can't even round a corner these days without getting slapped in the face by a dick. You'd think dicks would be over-exposed, but no matter how often they show up, people never seem to get sick of dicks. That's why I'm highlighting three of America's most prominent dicks in this week's SPASDICK TOPDICK MONKEYDICK FRIDICK!
A while back, I told you about Itawamba Agricultural High School in Mississippi. At the time, I thought they were about as big as a dick could get, because they cancelled their high school prom rather than let a lesbian teen wear a tux and bring her girlfriend. At the time, I truly believed it was a dick move to end all dick moves, but Itawamba Ag's love of dick surprised even me.
They held a private prom. No, wait, that's not right. I'm missing a key element here. They held TWO private proms. And they invited Constance McMillen to one of them. And then everyone went to the other one. Well, not everyone. Eight other people attended the prom with Constance, including her girlfriend, and two learning-disabled students. No, really. These fuckers are making the rest of Mississippi look bad, which shouldn't even have been possible, but they pulled it off. Why? Because they're dicks.
As a urologist, one would hope that Florida doctor Jack Cassell would be familiar with every dick move in the book, assuming Gray's Anatomy has a penis chapter. And certainly, he took a page from the wang-tomes that line his many shelves when he put up a tacky little sign outside his office door. ACTUAL SIGN TIME!
"If you voted for Obama…seek urologic care elsewhere. Changes to your healthcare begin right now, not in four years."
Now, this is pretty fucking cockly of him, don't get me wrong. But clearly, Dr. Cassell sprung for the unabridged versions of Dr. Schlong's Girthy Guide to Meat Maximization, because he did the one thing guaranteed to cube his original dick move. Go on national media and reveal that he hasn't the slightest fucking idea what he's talking about. ACTUAL QUOTE TIME!
"Well you know, I can't tell you exactly what the deal is. I'm not the guy who wrote the plan." - Cassell, inexplicably going on Alan Colmes' radio show, apparently under the impression that he was friends with Sean Hannity. Some of Dr. Cassell's patients have left him after learning of his political leanings, and the rest, I presume, will leave as soon as they go on WebMD and find out that leeches won't actually help you if it burns when you pee.
Unlike my previous examples, I will not accuse Scott Southworth of knowing anything about dick. I do this as a kindness to him, because I wouldn't want him to charge himself with sexual assault, as that is apparently what happens in Juneau County, Wisconsin, where Southworth is the attorney general, to anyone who displays penile knowledge (or, to use the legal term, forethought).
Here's the deal. Wisconsin passed a state law mandating scientifically accurate, age-appropriate sex ed in its schools, teaching students about contraceptives. An astonishing thing in a world where Obama just signed over a giant pile of money for abstinence-only sex ed as part of his new health care bill.
But Southworth warned Juneau County school officials that any attempt at a phonetically literal interpretation of "Juneau" when it comes to matters of the genitals would constitute sexual assault. Why? Because he's a prudish prick with serious issues. I thought maybe he was a conscientious legal mind worried about a strict interpretation of outmoded rural Wisconsin statute, but nope, he's a prick.<?p>
"In effect, the new law injects an intense amount of unnecessary politics into our human growth and development classrooms, and places our teachers and children into a position of discussing extremely controversial issues that will likely conflict with the religious beliefs and values of most Juneau County families." - Southworth, in his letter to the school board.
What controversial issues are these? Oh, things like the existence of homosexuals, the existence of transgender people, and wearing condoms. All incredibly political and controversial subjects to avoid... if you're some kind of rural dickweed lawyer who thinks a public schoolteacher's primary obligation is to avoid making the Baby Jesus cry. The school board is trying to decide how to proceed, but I hope they call this fuckwad's bluff. It'll be the most epic legal fail since Dover.


San Francisco has been abuzz with iOS Developers who have descended upon the city like Walkers for Apple's annual World Wide Developer Conference. Apple reported this week that there are 650,000 apps in the app store with 225,000 being made specifically for the iPad. They also have over 400 million accounts in the iTunes ecosystem, and 30-billion apps have been downloaded and $5-billion has been paid to developers since the app store launched in the summer of 2008. Now that is a great reason to celebrate. And, celebrate we did! InMobi teamed up with our friends at Appcelerator, Box, uTest, and VentureBeat to host the Generation Mobile party this week at Jillian's. The party generated 700+ attendees over the course of the night that included a nice mix of mobile developers, ecosystem partners, senior IT execs, founders, VCs, tech press, and WWDC attendees. The event included live photo sharing from the photo booth captured up on the jumbo screens, Gen-tinis, sliders and as added entertainment, Bravo TV came out to film the new reality show Silicon Valley focused on startups and being produced by Randi Zuckerberg. The theme of the show is to captures the intertwining lives of young professionals on the path to becoming Silicon Valley's next great success stories. All we saw was some fake crying, a sibling spat and shattered glass when the "reality star threw down a glass to make her point. Thie show hasn't aired yet, if I were you, I'd stick to Top Chef. See you next year.


Hvar Island is known as the sunniest place in Croatia and the island of lavender. It has been ranked among the ten most beautiful islands in the world by many travel magazines worldwide. The crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea, hidden beaches, charming towns with stunning architecture and the beauty of unspoiled nature. It's hard to imagine a better place for a holiday or honeymoon. In this post, I will tell you about the best 10 things to do in Hvar Island.
1. Visit the town of Hvar.
Hvar is the largest town on the island and one of the most attractive tourist destinations of the Adriatic. It is home to the oldest town theater in Europe which was built in 1612. The town's main square, called the Square of St. Stephen (Trg Sv. Stjepana), is a good place to start a walk through the winding, narrow streets, where many architectural gems are hidden. However, the greatest attraction is the medieval fortress Španjola from which you can enjoy beautiful views of the city of Hvar and the small limestone archipelago called the Pakelni Islands.
Hvar Town is a must for everyone who visits the island, but for a longer stay, I would recommend this place to those who mainly focus on parties and nightlife. It's the busiest destination which in the high season is estimated to draw around 20 000 people a day!
2. Take a cruise to the Pakelni Islands.
The Pakelni Islands is an archipelago of small islets which stretch out immediately in front of Hvar Town. Although the name is often translated as 'Hell's Islands', its meaning is thought the derive from paklina, a pine resin that was once harvested here to waterproof boats.
There are lots of bays for swimming and snorkeling, Viaka and Galešnik are lovely, Zdrilica has many hidden covers and Palmižana is the most famous with its shallow sandy beach and great shore side bistros. The closest of the islands to Hvar is Jerolim which is known as a nudist paradise.
3. Drive the old road from Hvar to Stari Grad.
The old road from Hvar Town to Stari Grad is an absorbing 25 km drive which combines stunning nature, beautiful sea views, and history. If you would like to see the near-abandoned stone villages where time stood still, lavender fields and olive groves, driving the old road is a great opportunity to get off the beaten track and feel the magic of the island. It's a wonderful journey through hidden Dalmatia.
4. Explore Stari Grad, the oldest town in Croatia.
Stari Grad, which literally means 'Old Town' is the oldest town in Croatia and one of the oldest in Europe. Although settled since pre-historic times, it was the Greeks who set up the first colony here in 384BC, naming it Faros. Remains of massive town walls can still be seen today near the Church of St. John and the Dominican monastery.
The most significant monument in Stari Grad is Tvrdalj Castle, a fortified palace which was a home of the famous Croatian poet Petar Hektorović. At its heart is a lovely, lush Renaissance garden, set around the green waters of a pond.
Stari Grad is not as crowded as the town of Hvar, which makes it a perfect destination for those who want to spend a romantic summer evening. A beautiful harbor promenade, narrow, winding streets with history around every corner and architectural gems – all this you can find in Stari Grad.
5. Visit Vrboska and Jelsa.
Vrboska is the smallest town in Hvar Island, located in a very deep and narrow bay surrounded by pinewoods. It's often called 'the little Venice' due to numerous small bridges and a little island in the middle of the bay. Vrboska owes its charm to the typical Mediterranean architecture, the old town houses and the sacral spirit of the ancient church buildings. Just a stone throw from Vrboska lies Jelsa which is also a nice spot for a short visit.
6. Spend a lazy day on the beach.
Spend a lazy day sunbathing on the beach and swimming in the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea. You can go to one of the most beautiful Hvar beaches such as Dubovica, Lučišće, Milna, Zaraće, Jagodna, Grebiše or discover some secret beaches where you can enjoy the peace and beauty of nature. In my opinion, these small, hidden beaches are the best that the island has to offer. If you want to find out more about it, I encourage you to read my previous post 'The secret beaches of Hvar'.
7. Discover the south shore of the island.
If you would like to spend a day far away from the summer noise and crowds, the best thing to do on Hvar is to visit the villages located on the south shore of the island – Zavala, Ivan Dolac, Gromin Dolac or Sveta Nedjelja. They can be reached only through the 1,4 km long tunnel Pitve which has no lights inside, water seeps through the rock overhead sometimes causing minor flooding problems and passing options for two cars are extremely limited. It was never planned that it would a passenger tunnel, it was drilled to pass the water pipes to the south of the island so the surface is quite poor. Although the road may seem scary, the views on the other side are absolutely worth it!
If you pass the tunnel Pitve that will get you to the south side of the island, it is a good idea to visit the village of Zavala which is famous for its untouched nature, excellent white wine Bogdanuša and beautiful beaches. It was where we stayed during our honeymoon trip and I would highly recommend this place to all who are in love.
The romantic seaside promenade that stretches along the coast makes this place really special and unique. It is lit in the evenings, so you can stroll at night along the shore listening to the sound of the sea or sit on the bench looking at the stars. At the beach bar you can enjoy local wines and eat something delicious, and if you are looking for a secluded place, there are plenty of hidden beaches nearby. For me, this place is a real paradise!
Another great place to visit is the village of Sveta Nedjelja which is located below the highest peak of the island, Sveti Nikola. Sveta Nedjelja is famous for the production of the best red wines with strong color and fullness of flavor – Plavac Mali. It is also a home of the famous Zlatan Otok winery established in 1986 by Zlatan Plenkovic. Above the village is a cave which served to people in Neolithic times, and the ruins of an Augustan monastery which was built there in the 16th century.
If you would like to relax on the perfectly clean beaches and swim in the azure sea, you should also visit the villages of Gromin and Ivan Dolac.
8. Take a cruise to the island of Šćedro.
Along the south shore of the island of Hvar, just opposite the village of Zavala, lies the small island of Šćedro. It is a protected nature park with many hidden coves and crystal-clear waters. The island has no electricity or water but there are a few restaurants where you can dine and relax. On the hill is located the old abandoned village of Nastane with picturesque stone houses. Visiting this place is like a travel back in time.
The island is almost untouched by tourism so it's perfect for people who like to get off the beaten track. The best way to get to the island of Šćedro is by water taxi from Zavala which runs every day during the summer season.
9. Climb to Sveti Nikola, the highest peak of the island of Hvar.
Sveti Nikola with its 628 meters is the highest island's peak. It's situated above the southern shore of Zavala and Sveta Nedjelja. At the top are a stone cross and a picturesque chapel of St. Nicholas (Sv. Nikola) from the 15th century. Climbing to the top of Sveti Nikola is one of the best things to do on the island of Hvar and it is worth the effort, as it offers beautiful views of the Dalmatian coast and the surrounding islands – Šćedro, Korčula, Brač, and Vis. It's one of the best places to watch the sunset on Hvar Island.
10. Try Hvar local wine.
Every year Croatia's wines become more and more celebrated around the world, so if you're on the island of Hvar, one of the best things to do is try the local wine. And as one of the premier wine growing islands in the Adriatic, Hvar is a terrific place to enjoy some great local wines like Plavac Mali or Bogdanuša.
Plavac Mali is probably the best known Croatian wine that should be definitely at the top of your list. The name refers to the small blue grapes: in Croatian 'plavo' means 'blue' and 'mali' means 'small'. This red wine is very rich and flavorful, with aromas including blackberries, dark cherries, pepper, and spices.
Bogdanuša is an ancient white grape variety that is indigenous to the island of Hvar. It originated on the Stari Grad Plain, an agricultural countryside that was set up by the ancient Greeks in the 4th century BC and is the oldest continuously farmed agricultural plot on the planet! Legend says that the wine was drunk at religious festivals and that is why it got its name – 'Bogdanuša' means 'given by God'. The Bogdanuša wine is dry with a green-yellow to golden color, characterized by a pleasant aroma and freshness.
There are many wineries all over the island that offer wine tastings and have retail shops in main villages. Moreover, most of the large supermarkets stock excellent Hvar local wine, so bring some home!
Ohh I miss Hvar so much! I can't wait to go there this summer again! Great photos, I'm glad you had a great time there!
Are you going to Hvar in the summer? How cool! I would like to go back there too, I really liked historic towns and hidden beaches.
This island looks so idyllic! I love all the cobblestone and the views of the water. I had not heard of it, so I will have to add it to our list!
This is a wonderful post on Hvar Island. I'm sad I missed it when I went to Croatia, but clearly I need to go back. I'm not a big party animal, so would prefer to walk around the oldest town in the country (!) and spend some tranquil time on those beautiful beaches. I love your photos too!
So as I. Despite the beautiful views in the city of Hvar, I liked the city of Stari Grad more, where it was peaceful and romantic.
What a beautiful island! The water looks so clear, and the villages seem super cute. It seems like there is a lot to do as well! What's the best way to get to this island?
Look at the size of some of those boats! What a beautiful little town. We love finding out about these little gems that are not so popular with everyone yet. They are still unspoiled by travelers. We love the old town photos. Walking amongst old towns makes me feel like I am transported back in time. This really does look like a beautiful place to visit.
For me, Croatia is still not destroyed by tourism despite the fact that more and more people visit it. I really like these romantic towns and hidden beaches where there are no sunbeds.
Hello form Croatia! Nice to read a post about Hvar! It was the first island in my childhood I have set my foot on and that's why Hvar has been holding a special place in my heart the whole my life.
Glad to read you have discovered Plavac Mali. I love it!
Good thing is I haven't been to Croatia yet, so, adding this place to my list!! This place looks absolutely gorgeous!! Cobbled stones streets, such clear water and that Blue door!! If I didn't know I would have thought some Greek Island! It is really beautiful and can't wait to visit Croatia!!
I highly recommend visiting Croatia 🙂 There are many places that are not yet destroyed by tourism and you can find many hidden gems.
What a charming and scenic town! We would love to sit down in one of those cafes, drink some wine, and watch people walk by or indulge in the seascape. We rarely see old towns with stone-built buildings and cobblestone streets nowadays.
True, a glass of wine tastes great when you look at the sea or the streets of a beautiful city. In Croatia, there are very good wines and still little known.
What a gorgeous island, I can see why Hvar is listed as one of the top islands in the world to visit. Just looking at your pictures I want to plan my trip to Hvar. The beaches looks so beautiful and inviting, it definitely seems like a perfect island vacation.

What is BlueBorne and how it endangers billions of Bluetooth devices
With the number of smart and connected devices on the rise, concerns about online privacy and security, especially with the flow of ransomware and other malware attacks, have dominated the headlines of recent years. Although the world is trying to recover from WannaCry ransomware, the Mirai botnet and other severe malware attacks, Armis Labs security researchers have released a detailed technical whitepaper detailing a serious vulnerability that could potentially leave billions of Bluetooth-enabled devices susceptible. remote code execution and MiTM (Man-in-The-Middle) attacks. So, if you're already intrigued by BlueBorne, here's what you need to know about it, so that it doesn't end up becoming an unconscious victim of cybercrime:
What is BlueBorne?
Simply put, BlueBorne is an attack vector that allows cybercriminals to use Bluetooth connections for silently take control of targeted devices without any action on the part of the victim. What is truly disconcerting that for a device that compromises, it must not be associated with the attacker's device, it must not be set to "discoverable" mode. Up to eight separate zero-day vulnerabilities (including four critical ones) can be used for hack most Bluetooth devices currently in use, regardless of the operating system. This basically means that over 5 billion Bluetooth-enabled devices from around the world are potentially vulnerable to this huge security loophole that was described earlier this week by the ego-focused security research firm, Armis Labs. According to the technical whitepaper published by the company, BlueBorne is particularly dangerous not only for its massive size, but because the loopholes actually facilitate remote code execution and Man-in-The-Middle attacks.
Which devices / platforms are potentially vulnerable to BlueBorne?
As already mentioned, the BlueBorne attack vector potentially endangers billions of Bluetooth-enabled smartphones, desktops, entertainment systems and medical devices that run on one of the main computing platforms, including Android, iOS, Windows and Linux . Overall, there are around 2 billion Android devices in the world today, almost all of which are believed to have Bluetooth functionality. Add about 2 billion Windows devices, 1 billion Apple devices and 8 billion IoT devices to this and you will know why this latest security threat is a huge concern for cybersecurity researchers, device manufacturers and privacy defenders across the board. the world above. The two platforms most vulnerable to BlueBorne, however, are Android and Linux. This is because the way in which Bluetooth functionality is implemented in these operating systems makes them highly susceptible to memory corruption exploit which can be used to execute virtually any malicious code, allowing the attacker to access sensitive system resources on compromised devices that often fail to get rid of the infection even after several reboots.

How can hackers exploit the BlueBorne security vulnerability?
BlueBorne a highly contagious air attack vector which has the potential to spread from one device to another through the air, which means that a single compromised device can, in theory, infect dozens of devices around it. What makes users particularly vulnerable to threats high level of privileges with which Bluetooth runs on all operating systems, allowing attackers to have practically full control over compromised devices. Once under control, cybercriminals can use these devices to meet any of their nefarious goals, including cyber espionage and data theft. They can also remotely install ransomware or embed the device as part of a large botnet to perform DDoS attacks or commit other cybercrimes. According to Armis, "The BlueBorne attack vector exceeds the capabilities of most attack vectors penetrating secure "air-gapped" networks which are disconnected from any other network, including the Internet. "
How to know if your device affected by BlueBorne?
According to Armis, all major computing platforms are affected by the BlueBorne security threat one way or another, but some versions of these operating systems are inherently more vulnerable than others.
All desktops, laptops and tablets Windows running Windows Vista and versions pi recent operating system are affected by the so-called "Bluetooth Pineapple" vulnerability that allows an attacker to perform a Man-in-The-Middle attack (CVE-2017-8628).
Any device running on an operating system based on Linux kernel (version 3.3-rc1 and later) Vulnerable to the Remote Code Execution Vulnerability (CVE-2017-1000251). In addition, all Linux devices running BlueZ are also affected by the information leak vulnerability (CVE-2017-1000250). Hence, the impact of the BlueBorne attack vector not only the limitation of desktops in this case, but also a wide range of smartwatches, televisions and kitchen appliances running the free and open source Tizen operating system. That being the case, devices like the Samsung Gear S3 smartwatch or the Samsung Family Hub refrigerator would be very vulnerable to BlueBorne, according to Armis.
All iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices with iOS 9.3.5 o versions previous operating system are affected by the remote code execution vulnerability, as well as all AppleTV devices running tvOS version 7.2.2 or earlier. All devices with iOS 10 should be safe from BlueBorne.
Due to the reach and popularity of Android, this is the only platform believed to be the hardest hit. According to Armis, all versions of Android, none excluded, they are vulnerable to BlueBorne, thanks to four different vulnerabilities in the operating system. Two of these vulnerabilities allow remote code execution (CVE-2017-0781 and CVE-2017-0782), one results in information loss (CVE-2017-0785), while another allows a hacker to perform a Man-in-The- Central Attack (CVE-2017-0783). Smartphones and tablets on Android are not only smartphones, but also smartwatches and other wearable devices on Android Wear, televisions and set-top-boxes on Android TV and in-car entertainment systems on Android Auto, making BlueBorne one of the attack vectors most complete and strict ever documented.
If you have an Android device, you can also visit the Google Play Store and download the BlueBorne Vulnerability Scanner app released by Armis to allow users to check if their device is vulnerable to the threat.
How to protect the Bluetooth enabled device from BlueBorne?
While BlueBorne is one of the most complete and threatening attack vectors in recent memory due to its scale, there are ways you can protect yourself from becoming a victim. First of all, make sure Bluetooth is turned off on your device when you're not using it. So, make sure yours device is updated with all the latest security patches and although in some cases it does not help, it is certainly a starting point. Depending on the operating system of the device you are trying to safeguard, you should take the following steps to make sure your personal data doesn't end up in the wrong hands.
Microsoft released the BlueBorne security patch for its operating systems on July 11th, so if automatic updates have been enabled or if you have manually updated your PC in the past two months and installed all the latest security patches, you should be safe from these threats.
If you're using iOS 10 on your device, you should be fine, but if you're stuck on previous versions of the operating system (version 9.3.5 or earlier), your vulnerable device until Apple releases a security patch to correct the problem.
Google released the BlueBorne fixes to its OEM partners on August 7, 2017. The patches were also made available to users around the world as part of the September Security Update Bulletin, which was officially released on the 4th of this month. Therefore, if you are using an Android device, go to Settings> Device information> System updates to check if your vendor has already implemented the September 2017 security patch for your device. If so, install it promptly to protect yourself and your Android device from BlueBorne.
If you are using a Linux distro on your PC or use a Linux kernel based platform such as Tizen on your IoT / connected devices, you may have to wait a little longer to filter the fix due to the coordination required between the Linux security team of the kernel and security teams from various independent distros. If you have the technical know-how required, however, you can patch and rebuild the BlueZ and the kernel yourself by going here for BlueZ and here for the kernel.
In the meantime, you can simply completely disable Bluetooth on your system by following these simple steps:
Blacklist the main Bluetooth modules
printf "install %s /bin/truen" bnep bluetooth btusb >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-bluetooth.con
Disable and stop the Bluetooth service
systemctl disable bluetooth.service systemctl mask bluetooth.service systemctl stop bluetooth.service
Remove the Bluetooth modules
rmmod bnep rmmod bluetooth rmmod btusb
If you receive error messages indicating that other modules are using these services, be sure to remove the active modules first before trying again.
BlueBorne: the latest security threat endangering billions of Bluetooth devices
The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has increasingly focused on security in recent times, and easy to understand why. With the high privileges granted to Bluetooth in all modern operating systems, vulnerabilities like BlueBorne can wreak havoc on millions of innocent and unsuspecting people around the world. What really worries security experts about the fact that BlueBorne is an aerial threat, which means that standard security measures, such as endpoint protection, mobile data management, firewalls and network security solutions are practically powerless in front of it, since they are primarily designed to block attacks that occur on IP connections. While users don't have control over how and when security patches are deployed to their devices, just making sure to take the precautions mentioned in the article should keep connected devices reasonably safe for now. In any case, keep your Bluetooth connection turned off while not using only a standard security practice that most tech-savvy people follow anyway, so now is the best time for the rest of the population to follow suit. So now that you need to know about BlueBorne, what are your thoughts on the subject? Let us know in the comments section below, because we love to hear from you.

Review of Slayer and Megadeth gig at 1st Mariner Arena
What a great show! I'm usually rather weary of concerts at larger venues like this, but I'm really glad I went. I didn't get there in time to catch Anthrax, but I'm not a huge fan of theirs anyways so I wasn't too upset about it. I was there for Megadeth and most of all Slayer. I hadn't seen either of them play in several years. This tour, originally called Leg 2 of the American Carnage Tour was renamed the Jagermeister Music Tour and there were some random college girls walking around giving out Jagermeister merch, and Kerry King even did a shot of Jager on the stage between songs at one point. It was weird seeing product placement in the middle of a Slayer gig like that. The main draw to this tour though was that Megadeth was playing their classic 1990 album Rust In Peace from start to finish and Slayer would be playing their album Seasons In The Abyss, also from 1990, straight through also. It was in Baltimore, and I'd never been to the 1st Mariner Arena before, but I couldn't miss that.
I was coming to the show after work, where a friend had met me. I had called the venue ahead of time and they told me Megadeth would be hitting the stage around 8pm and Slayer at 9:30 so I had a frame of reference on how to get there. There was a bit of traffic when I left around 6:45 and we were sweating making the gig on time. When we got to Baltimore we parked in a garage directly across from the venue and booked it inside. Just by sheer luck we had parked on the side that was general admittance tickets only, which is what we had. So we quickly got down there, realized Megadeth wasn't playing yet and got beers. As soon as we walked back out onto the main floor the lights dimmed and the show started, you can't plan timing that good! Megadeth started with the Rust In Peace album right out of the gate. Holy Wars… The Punishment Due was the first song but people weren't getting into the show right away. A lot of heads kinda bobbing and fist pumping but I don't think I even saw a mosh pit until half way through their set. Megadeth's main man Dave Mustaine switched out guitars several times through the night, even pulling out some double neck flying V (does that make it a flying W?) guitar at one point. He also mentioned the problems with their last concert in Baltimore, the one where someone poured a drink on the mixing board three songs into their set so the show was canceled. More info on that fiasco here. He also called that venue, Rams Head Live, a piece of shit, which got people laughing a bit. They had the Rust In Peace album cover backdrop up while playing the songs from that album, but switched it to an image with Megadeth's mascot Vic doing a sort of fist bump thing with background artwork from their latest album, Endgame. They also had a guy wearing a suit and a Vic mask with skeleton gloves come out on stage during Dawn Patrol, I suppose to distract people from the weakest song on Rust In Peace. One thing that sucked was Dave's vocals during Megadeth's entire set were shitty! They weren't consistent at all and just sounded awful, which you can hear in the videos I posted below. I don't think it was his voice as much as the PA not working correctly or something. The band seemed to be having a lot of fun up there and even did an encore. I always think it's kind of odd when a band does that who isn't the headliner. Especially since Slayer did not do the encore gimmick this show. Regardless, it was fun seeing Megadeth play some of those killer though less played songs on Rust In Peace like Five Magics and Poison Was The Cure. I didn't see them last March when they came to the 9:30 Club playing the same album, so this was great. After they had played the album they played Head Crusher from their latest album in a mix of Megadeth classics like Peace Sells… But Who's Buying? People were really into the show by the time they finished and everyone knew the intensity was about to go up once Slayer hit the stage. Another odd thing, Dave said "God bless you" to the audience as he left the stage, which wouldn't be that weird (we all know he's become a born again Christian) except for the fact that fucking Slayer was up next.
A white curtain was dropped to hide the stage while Slayer set up. The crowd was in a state of anticipation when they started projecting the Slayer logo onto the curtain. I worked my way to the front as close to the center as I could get, ended up about 3 or 4 people back the entire show. I saw Slayer play Reign In Blood in 2003 at the now razed Nation so I figured I'd see them play Seasons In The Abyss too, since that album is also awesome. Maybe they'll play Show No Mercy straight through for the next tour! I had assumed that Slayer would start their set with War Ensemble, the first song on Seasons In The Abyss, but they surprised me and played a couple songs off their latest album, World Painted Blood. The title track and Hate Worldwide are decent songs I guess, but that's not what people were here for. Just as the crowd's enthusiasm started to wane Slayer burst into War Ensemble and got the show really going. The audience instantly came to life and the pushing and shoving up front started and didn't stop until the end of the show. I'd say War Ensemble is one of Slayer's more "mosh friendly" songs, but really how many Slayer songs aren't great for moshing to? For those who have not seen Slayer before, their mosh pits are intense! They have one of the most rabid fan bases in all of metal, which is really saying something. And let me tell you it's not easy taking pictures or shooting video in the middle of all that! Hell, just keeping yourself relatively still while Slayer is 10 feet in front of you playing Raining Blood or Angel Of Death is not an easy task even if nobody else was there. But I'm no rookie to mosh pits, I love this shit. I did see a few kids getting pissed about all the pushing and elbows they were getting, but I mean it's Slayer, what were you expecting people to be standing around staring blankly like it's a fucking Fugazi concert? They actually had the security pull them out of the crowd to leave the front and avoid having to go back through the mosh pit. Those kids could not handle the Slayer! This was the first time I'd seen Slayer since Tom Araya had his neck surgery, after which he no longer head bangs. Kind of weird but not a huge deal, it did mean I could get more good pics of him throughout the show though. They played Seasons In The Abyss as advertised and again it was great hearing them play some of those awesome songs that never get played live from that album. Temptation really got people going crazy too, which I wasn't really expecting. The sound seemed better for their set than the Megadeth show, though you can judge that for yourself with the videos below. They finished the set with just a few of their classics, South Of Heaven and the like. The only odd thing was after playing Raining Blood they immediately went into Aggressive Perfector, which is a bonus track from the Reign In Blood album. They didn't do an encore and you could tell when the show rather abruptly ended after Angel Of Death the audience still wanted more. Some people started chanting Slayer for them to come back but really that wasn't going to happen. I was covered in sweat and bruises but damn if that wasn't a fun show. I really liked this venue too, they had an open setup and the fact they let me shoot video the entire time was great too. After the show someone told me that somebody had broken a leg or something in the pit, apparently toward stage left. I'm definitely glad I got the floor tickets instead of seats, the intensity of being up front at a Slayer show is second to none, though I'm glad I wasn't the one with anything broken! Now check out the two Megadeth and six Slayer videos I shot last night that are posted below. Enjoy!

Юзеф Атанасий Рогош (; 1844—1896) — польский -беллетрист, ,  и .

Биография

Юзеф Рогош родился в 1844 году в Балигруде в Галиции в дворянской семье. Принимал участие в январском восстании, служил в отряде Мариана Лангевича, а после подавления восстания эмигрировал за границу, где жил в основном в Италии и Франции. На родину он смог вернуться только в 1867 году и поселился в городе Львове.

Некоторое время Юзеф Атанасий Рогош был корреспондентом издания «Gazety Narodowej» («Народная газета»), а с 1869 года редактировал ежедневник «Дзенник Польский» вместе с Яном Лямом и .

Часть его стихотворений была издана отдельно: «Olga» (1861) и «Z pola i z obozu» (1869). Из его публицистических трактатов выдаются «Choroby Galicji» (1876—78) и сборник сатирических очерков «Niby źarty, niby prawdy» (1869). Первые повести его («Wojewodzik», «Tak być musialo»), прошли почти незамеченными; гораздо больше понравились публике три последующие: «Pokuta», «Złamane serca» и особенно «Marzyciele» (Львов, 1880), где канвой рассказа служат события галицкой общественной жизни в период с 1833 по 1846 год.

В конце XIX века Константин Иерофеевич Храневич написал на страницах «ЭСБЕ», что «Художественным талантом Р. не обладает», что, вероятно, связано с участием Рогоша в событиях 1863—1864 гг. в Польше, однако и он был вынужден признать успех тех произведений автора, «которые являются беллетристической обработкой публицистических тем» (например, изданные в 1884 году «Zdrajca» и «Motory źycia»). Среди других заметных произведений Рогоша Храневич отметил: «Na falach losu», «Dzisiejszi bohaterowie», «Na dziejowym przelomie» (историческая повесть из эпохи XV века), «Przez boleść i milość», «Stryj», «Atanazy», «Zervane struny», «Czarny Prokop», «W piekle galicyjskim».

В 1874 году он основал «Tydzień Literacki, Artystyczny, Naukowy i Społeczny» («Литературную, художественную, научную и социальную неделю»), а также стал владельцем собственного книжного магазина. В 1883 году он переехал в имение своей жены в Новом Сиоле близ Стрыя, а позже в Зборувку под Краковом. В 1893 году он основал журнал «Głos Narodu» в Кракове. Первоначально он был связан с либерально-демократическим лагерем, но затем его взгляды перешли на национализм и антисемитизм. Свои статьи в периодических печатных изданиях Юзеф Атанасий Рогош подписывал псевдонимом «Ajo».

На русский язык при жизни автора был переведен его роман «Отступник» (СПб., 1885). После первого сборника стихотворений, изданного в 1863 году, Ю. А. Рогош писал главным образом повести и рассказы. Кроме того, его перу принадлежат: экономическое исследование «Choroby Galicji» (1876—1878) и книга о художниках А. Гроттгере и Я. Матейке (1875).

Юзеф Атанасий Рогош умер 24 июля 1896 года в курортном городке Марианске-Лазне (бывший Мариенбад) и был погребён на Раковицком кладбище.

Accused in Frood crash awaits bail hearing
Harold Carmichael
Dec 20, 2013 • Last Updated December 20, 2013 • 1 minute read
A southern Ontario man facing 26 charges in connection the theft of a van that crashed on Frood Road during a police chase on Dec. 8 may have a bail hearing on Monday.
Jamie Correia, 40, who is from the Greater Toronto Area, made a brief appearance in bail court Friday in Greater Sudbury, only to be remanded in custody to Monday. As was the case on Thursday, Correia's surety, who was to have travelled up from the GTA, was not present inn court.
The Star has learned the Crown will not oppose Correia's release.
Correia, who had spent about a week in hospital recovering from assorted injuries, continues to wear a neck brace and a fibreglass-type cast on his left arm all the way past his elbow, supported by a sling.
The charges Correia is facing include impaired driving, refusing to provide a breath sample, flight from police, possess break-in instruments, assault, possession of property obtained by crime, and numerous breaches of probation.
The province's Special Investigations Unit is investigating what happened.
The SIU is an independent body that investigates incidents involving police and civilians resulting in death or injury, or allegations of sexual assault.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars. This post needs no words, really. A picture is worth a thousand, right?
Hubby: I have a Dessert Challenge Day at work coming up. Do you have an idea for what I can make?
Me: Awesome! I've totally got ideas. What's the date of the Dessert Challenge?
After I recovered from the mini shock, my excitement to bake something yummy kicked in. I'd been hankering for Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars for quite some time. No better excuse than a Dessert Challenge to break out these decadent treats.
Oh. My. Goodness. This was so, so worth it. So worth the late-night baking and kitchen blunders that occur as a result of late-night baking. Hubby was making an entire pan for work, and I was making another pan for me. A little chaos in the kitchen. Note to Self: Make this during normal hours and pay attention = it's a cinch!
There's something here for everyone. Flavorful graham cracker crumb crust for all the crust-lovers. Thick, rich cheesecake for cheesecake fans like myself. Chocolate chip cookie dough full of gooey chocolate for cookie buffs. Decadent and rich. Smooth and creamy. Textured and chewy.
You can taste the crust, cheesecake, and cookie all separately yet it all marries together like a match made in heaven.
You have to try this. Your taste buds will thank you. And your family and friends will look at you with speechless awe. Enjoy!
Preheat oven to 325F with rack on lower middle. Line 8×8 square baking pan with parchment paper, with enough hanging over handles to make a "sling." Oil the parchment paper.
Make Crust: Mix melted butter and cracker crumbs together until resembles wet sand. Press mixture firmly and evenly into bottom of pan. Bake for 7-8 minutes. Remove pan to rack, but keep oven on.
Make Cheesecake Filling: In bowl in stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream together the cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy and smooth. Mix in egg and vanilla on low until incorporated, taking care not to overmix. Pour cheesecake batter into prepared crust. Set aside.
Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: In bowl on stand mixer with paddle attachment, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add vanilla and mix just until combined. Slowly mix in the flour on low speed just until combined, taking care not to over mix. Fold in chocolate chips. Drop clumps of slightly-flattened dough evenly on top of cheesecake batter. Continue until all cookie dough is evenly distributed across top of cheesecake.
Bake 30-40 minutes, until top of dough feels mostly dry and entire pan looks mostly set if given a gentle shake. It will continue to set up as it chills. Move bars to cooking rack to cool completely. Chill several hours or overnight. Lift bars out by sling and cut. Keep cut bars in fridge until ready to serve.
Note: Leftover bars can be wrapped and stored in freezer.

I am a choreographer, dancer, collaborator, and teacher. I design intricate movement to explore the exquisite nature and dynamic relationships between human beings. My dance language can be quietly nuanced and pedestrian, at times wild and reckless, flooded with imagery, accumulating into dramatic content unmistakably constructed through choreographic means. I use the profound expression of the dancing body and my lucid performing instincts to drive the creative process. The work is transformed through the phenomenon of dancing; it comes into being through the dancing of it. I create work that occupies a position somewhere between written and spoken language, a living text, a series of moving ciphers. I do this because my desires to express the possibilities and uniqueness of human interactions, for me, can only be realized through performing and dance making. This is how I give voice to the full range of my thoughts, feelings, and physical self. This is how I connect with people outside my environment, individually, and on a larger scale.


The capsule of Cryptococcus neoformans is an important virulence factor. In this investigation capsular polysaccharides (CPSs) were isolated by ethanol precipitation from culture filtrates of C. neoformans serotype A strains 6, 15, 98, 110, and 145. Capsule sizes on India ink examination ranged from barely perceptible (strain 15) to greater than the diameter of the yeast cell (strain 6); the others were intermediate in size. On ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose each CPS eluted at 0.2 M NaCl; CPS of strain 15 had two major peaks, designated III and IV. On gel-permeation chromatography CPSs of strains 6, 98, 110, and 145 eluted at the void volume of Sepharose CL-2B in the presence or 0.1 M EDTA, while the CPS of strain 15 eluted in two peaks. Sephacryl S-1000 resolved CPSs of all five strains in the following order, from largest to smallest molecular size: 145 greater than 110 greater than 98 greater than 6 much greater than 15. All five CPSs contained mannose, xylose, and glucuronic acid, while the carboxyl-reduced CPS of strain 110 also contained a large percentage of an inositol-like compound. The CPS of strain 110 contained approximately 30% uronic acid by weight, while the others had 15 to 20%. The composition of peak IV from the CPS of strain 15 resembled those of the other strains; peak III of strain 15 contained a substantial amount of galactose. Each CPS contained less than 0.2% protein by weight. The significant differences in molecular size and sugar composition among CPSs of these strains of C. neoformans serotype A may partially explain strain differences in virulence and biological properties of the organism.


At Joe Public we offer Take-Away advertising. Like in Take-Away restaurants, our prices are up on the wall for everyone to see. They are the same for every client, and about 25% cheaper than the other top-10 agencies we like to compare ourselves with. On our menu are traditional dishes like radio- and TV-campaigns, culinary dishes like a Quattro Stagioni-session, an 'All you can eat'-campaign and of course our specialty: the Surprise-dish. And whatever you pick from our menu, you can count on our 7 promises. We call them the 7 courses of Joe Public.
Take-Away Advertising means that every advertiser, big or small, can walk in whenever he wants, and pick something from our menu. That is unique. What is even more unique in the world of advertising, is our belief that we have to 'earn' our clients over and over again. Therefore, we don't chain our clients with contracts. They're free to bring their next project to another agency if they want. But we will do everything we can to keep them seated for another dish.
2. No creative pitches, for the better of our clients.
Joe Public is the only agency in the Netherlands that does not participate in creative pitches. Because these pitches take a lot of time. Time that belongs to our clients. By not joining these time and money wasting pitches, we keep our prices lower, and work faster. Thus, for a fraction of a normal pitch-compensation, Joe Public brings you a full campaign. In a fraction of the time as well.
3. Haute cuisine advertising, take-away price.
Joe Public is significantly less expensive than the traditional top-agencies in Holland, by not joining any pitches. But we save more. By internally combining different functions, not doing any monthly fees or mark-ups on purchases, the joke is never on you. In short, we do break free from quite a lot of conventions in the advertising world. Our prices are up on our menu, and the same for everyone. Interested in something that's not on our wall? Ask us to make up a decent price. But let's be clear: Lower prices don't affect the quality of our work. High quality work is always leading at Joe Public. We call that Haute-Cuisine advertising for a Take-Away price.
4. Strategy and concept presentation one week after brief.
By wasting more coffee than time, we are always ready to present within a week. Thanks to our set menu prices, we never have to crank up our tariffs artificially by working on something way longer than we need to. Our whole week is about focussing 100% on real work. By planning efficiently and demanding a hands-on mentality from our strategists, creatives and account people, we succeed at meeting the deadline. Time and time again.
No matter how big we will become, our meetingroom will always have 4 chairs and 1 orange bench. Less people is more joy. If you take kind on working efficient. Which we do. That's why we will never bring more than 4 people of the agency in one meeting. That leaves 4 seats for you. But you don't have to fill them all. We won't, unless it's absolutely necessary.
By involving Joe Public Johannesburg (our sister agency and local 'Agency of the Year') we are able to stay flexible and keep the costs low. Thanks to the very profitable South-African tariffs, we can, for example, offer Haute Cuisine Design for a Take-Away price. And we can produce TV-commercials in South Africa, cheaper than any other agency.A big plus, given the opposite seasons, the lack of Jetlag and the enormously high quality standard of the South African film industry. Therefore it is our ambition to welcome a new Joe Public agency in our midst every year, expanding our worldwide network of independent agencies.
We like to make amazing work. Because great advertising for you, is great advertising for us. Which brings us new clients. Therefore, if your work gets awarded a Lamp, Effie, Golden Loekie or Lion, you get our creative directors at your disposal for a day, to work on something unusual. A farewell gift for a colleague? A special Christmas card? Bringing coffee? Be creative!

Vol 3 (December 2018) /

Editorial Office, AME Publishing Company
Correspondence to: Editorial Office, AME Publishing Company. Email: vats@amegrousp.com.
Received: 24 December 2018; Accepted: 26 December 2018; Published: 30 December 2018.
In this joyous holiday season, we're pleased to share a great news received on Dec. 11th, 2018 that Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (Figure 1) has been selected for coverage in Clarivate Analytics products and services. Beginning with Vol 1 (1) 2016, this publication will be indexed and abstracted in:
Emerging Sources Citation Index
Figure 1 Journal cover.
Launched in May 2016, the journal Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS, Video-assist Thorac Surg, Online ISSN: 2519-0792) is the first English journal dedicated to the development of video-assisted thoracic surgery in the international community. It is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal reporting the cutting-edge findings and techniques in this rapidly changing field. The aim of VATS is to provide a professional platform for the communication of scientific knowledge, experience, techniques and opinions in video-assisted thoracic surgery between peers so that all patients may benefit.
Led by Prof. Lunxu Liu and Prof. Mark W. Onaitis, the journal is supported by a strong lineup of 56 experts worldwide in the field of thoracic surgery as the Editorial Board Members (Figures 2,3).

As a dedicated platform, where key questions in the field of VATS may be answered, VATS publishes flexible and diverse article genres in a fast electronic publication mode. Till now, VATS has published 163 articles, 58 of which are Original Articles and Review Articles (Figures 4,5).

With an internationalized editorial board as a strong base, VATS further gains support from authors and reviewers from all over the world. It is with their joint efforts that high-quality publications are guaranteed. Corresponding authors are mainly from Italy, USA, China, Japan and UK (Figure 6).

Taking this opportunity, we also would like to extend our sincere gratitude to another group of experts—our Guest Editors, who devoted their time and efforts to organize high-quality focused issues to demonstrate the cutting-edge knowledge, techniques, and discussions in the field of video-assisted thoracic surgery to our readers. VATS has published seven outstanding focused issues (Figure 7) since its launch. Published focused issues could be found here: http://vats.amegroups.com/post/category/focused-issues.

Indexed by ESCI is undoubtedly a significant step for VATS. With continuous effort from the editorial team, we strive to make VATS a top-tier publication in the field of Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery.

They just keep cranking out the hits, and yesterday (January 13) the Black Eyed Peas were spotted filming a new music video.
Fergie , apl.de.ap, Taboo, and will.i.am were all spotted in a desert region outside of Los Angeles working on a new project to promote their next hit single.
The "Boom Boom Pow" hitmakers got all dressed up in robotic costumes, though a massive sandstorm forced the shoot to shut down for a bit.
And the scantily-clad Fergie had to wrap herself in a blanket to avoid the blowing sand as her assistant held onto her to make sure she didn't fly away.

Q: Show datapicker on valid input text I test this datapicker: https://github.com/uxsolutions/bootstrap-datepicker
The problem is, datapicker show on valid input text. Here is my HTML code:

    <input type="text" placeholder="Treść notatki..." name="msg-box" id="msg-box-'.$results['USER_ID'].'" class="datepicker_message_div" />

        <input type="text" value="" placeholder="Data powiadomienia" value="" title="Data powiadomienia (parametr nieobowiązkowy)" id="date-box-'.$results['USER_ID'].'"  data-date-format="mm-dd-yyyy" class="span11" >
        <button class="btn btn-success chat_msg_save" id="chat_msg_save_'.$results['USER_ID'].'">Zapisz</button>

    <input type="hidden" id="chat_current_edit_'.$results['USER_ID'].'" value="">

and here is screenshot:

So I have two input type text and datepicker show on valid. It should print in the second input text, not on the first which is input for send text message. How I can fix it?
Thanks.

A: My guess is that you want the datepicker attached to the input with id id="date-box-'.$results['USER_ID'].'"
According to documentation you can add an attribute to your input :
data-date-container="date-box-'.$results['USER_ID'].'"

A: you can set like this
  var FirstTextBoxVal=$(".datepicker_message_div").val();

    $(".date-box-Text").val(FirstTextBoxVal);
