There are many ways to hack databases, and most of these techniques require SQL injection (SQLi), which is a way of sending SQL commands back to the database from a web form or other input. In this tutorial, we will use SQL injection to get access to the underlying server. So instead of getting access to the database and its data, we will use the database as an intermediary to gain access to the underlying server.
Nearly all commercial databases—MS SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, DB2, etc.—have built-in system stored procedures (SP). This is code provided by the developer to help the system administrator get common tasks done.
Often, the system admin of a database will need access to the underlying server, so Microsoft provides an SP called xp_cmdshell on their SQL Server. When the system admin executes this SP, they get a command prompt on the underlying server that is hosting the database.
This SP was once enabled by default on all Microsoft SQL Server installations, but because it was exploited by hackers so often, Microsoft had disabled it by default—but we can still access it and wreak havoc!
Of course, to access this SP remotely, we will need the login credentials of the system admin. By default, Microsoft packages their SQL Server with a system administrator account named "sa" and few system admins change it. You can use a tool such SQLdict or Metasploit's own auxiliary module, sql_login, to gain the sa password and use it in this hack.
If we can execute CMD commands on the victim system, we cannot only run reconnaissance on it, but we can also own it with enough knowledge of the system and knowledge of Windows commands.
To start, as usual, fire up Kali and open a terminal.
This should open a console that looks similar to this.
Now, we need to load the msql_exec auxiliary module.
As you can see below, we have several key variables we have to set including CMD, RHOST, and PASSWORD.
In this case, I set the RHOST to the IP of the database server, the PASSWORD to the "sa" account password that I cracked earlier (nullbyte), and command I want to run on the command shell on the server, in this case, 'dir' to get a directory listing. Make certain that the command is between single quotation marks.
When these variables have been set, simply type "run."
This module will access the xp_cmdshell stored procedure, even though it is disabled, and return the results of the command.
As you can see, this command has been sent to the xp_cmdshell and executed the dir on the underlying server. The output is a directory listing from the C:\WINDOWS\system32 directory.
To do a bit of reconnaissance on this server, we could send a "netstat" to the server to see all the connections to the system.
Now, when we run this module, it should change directories to the root directory on the Windows machine (C:) and then do a directory listing.
As you can imagine, we could travel throughout the directory structure in this way to find confidential or critical information and read or delete it.
You might have noticed that the system admin on the server has a Netcat executable in the root directory. They probably left it there for remote administration or other tasks. Now that we know it is there, we can run it from this module.
This will change directory to the root directory where the Netcat resides and then open a Netcat listener (-L) on port 6996 (-p6996) and push a command shell through the listener. Let's try it.
It looks like it executed successfully. Now, let's try to connect to the listener with Netcat on our Kali system.
Success! We now have command prompt on the remote system and we own it!
It's important to note that a knowledge of command line commands is key to being successful in this type of hack. Most of our tutorials here have focused on Linux commands, but Windows can be run successfully from the command line as well, especially with PowerShell. To do so, you need to know these commands in Windows as well as Linux. Even the registry can be altered from the command line!
I'll do a short tutorial in the near future on running Windows from the command line that should be helpful in this type of hack. So keep coming back, my hacker novitiates, as we explore the tools and techniques of the world's most valuable skill set—hacking!
Great tutorial! It's so interesting how methods like this are so easy to use, and so often not patched. It really brings perspective to the whole cyber security community.
i have a question: how do you know mssqlexec ?
What I like about these auxiliary modules is that they aren't actually exploiting anything, they're just acting as a real nice wrapper for something that otherwise is a bit sketchy.
No hacking is relatively secure in the sense that doesn't leave trails or logs somewhere (few exceptions made, for example heartbleed before it was made public...).
If you're interest in sql related hacking, there was a post eariler that deals with it. I gave some hints there on how to proceed if you want to know more.
Some VPNs (ex: Cyberghost) not only anonymize browser traffic but also all outgoing applications. Cyberghost claims not to keep any logs which makes it very appealing for hackers to use.
I didn't think cyberghost worked on linux?

The angular distribution of 24 7 ± 10 Mev gamma rays produced in the synchrotron of the Lebedev Physics Institute, which were scattered elastically on hydrogen, has been investigated. Differential cross sections were obtained for c.m. scattering angles of 148, 132, 108, 93, 70, and 55°. The experimental results are compared with calculations based on onedimensional dispersion relations with an additional contribution from a single-meson intermediate state taken into account.

Compton scattering from the proton was investigated at s=6.9 (GeV/c)**2 and \t=-4.0 (GeV/c)**2 via polarization transfer from circularly polarized incident photons. The longitudinal and transverse components of the recoil proton polarization were measured. The results are in excellent agreement with a prediction based on a reaction mechanism in which the photon interacts with a single quark carrying the spin of the proton and in disagreement with a prediction of pQCD based on a two-gluon exchange mechanism.

Cross-section values for Compton scattering on the proton were measured at 25 kinematic settings over the range s = 5-11 and -t = 2-7 GeV2 with statistical accuracy of a few percent. The scaling power for the s-dependence of the cross section at fixed center of mass angle was found to be 8.0 +/ 0.2, strongly inconsistent with the prediction of perturbative QCD. The observed cross-section values are in fair agreement with the calculations using the handbag mechanism, in which the external photons couple to a single quark.

It’s been no secret that I’m loving warm tones in hair color lately. Honey, gold, whatever your description, I just can’t get enough. As I’ve stated before on the blog, our hair is a color wheel, with all the naturally occurring colors of the rainbow waiting to be revealed. The one thing that most of us have in common, no matter whether our starting point is darkest brown or blonde, is warmth. Warm tones are universally flattering, yet we spend a lot of time in the salon fighting against them. To me, it’s maddening. Even more frustrating, with Instagram, (and the filter that some employ to hide the hair’s natural warmth, clients often arrive to the salon requesting ashy, almost gray shades of blonde, devoid of any remaining warmth.
Some, afraid to disappoint, will spend hours stripping and toning the hair, instead of standing firm and explaining to the client that the toner used will, a) eventually wash out, and b) the process is doing irreparable damage that no amount of bonder will reverse. In the end, I blame social media really. Added hair pieces that give the illusion of almost silver/super ashy strands, put other colorists at a severe disadvantage when clients arrive with those inspiration photos in tow.
Meanwhile, they are all missing out on a “golden opportunity”. One of the best parts of embracing the warmth, is the natural grow out process. When hair is stripped or lifted to an unnatural color, or a color that your hair doesn’t want to naturally do, the upkeep is constant. Toners fade, and to maintain continuity, trips every four weeks to the salon are required. On the other hand, embracing the warmth allows a much softer grow out, as natural tones still remain in the hair, and don’t appear jarring as ones roots begin to grow in. My clients who choose warmer tones can easily stretch the time between appointments to double, or even triple, the amount of time.
Now, to play devils advocate, there is definitely a slippery slope when gold can veer into some scary territory. Think orange and/or brassy. While I never try to lift highlights too light when my aim is gold, because I know that hair naturally oxidizes no matter the precaution taken, I try to go just a bit lighter than my target (about half a shade) and then whatever target gloss or toner I use is then more of an enhancer, than a fix. This also helps to prevent the brassiness from occurring since I’ve made it to a point to go slightly lighter and break through it.
Another factor that has significantly changed the way I approach all my highlighting and balayage, is the discovery of a new product called “ColorKick” by Virtue Labs. I was given it late last year to try, and I have to say I was blown away at the difference in my clients’ color, especially my golden blondes. What is ColorKick exactly? Made with Alpha Keratin 60ku, a proprietary ingredient that is a part of all VirtueLabs products, it is the first-ever hair filler made from 100% pure, human keratin. What looks like delicate flakes of gold is mixed right into color or bleach, and it essentially replaces the cuticle of the hair. Think of a rocky, bumpy road being paved smooth. As a filler (NOT a bonder), it helps to replace lost keratin through the coloring process. Basically, it’s not a band-aid, it’s really doing permanent reparative work. You guys, basically it’s next level.
How does this translate to better hair color? Well, hair that’s been colored has usually lost a bit of its natural shine as a result of the chemical treatment. With ColorKick, because the cuticle is now way smoother, the shine and reflection of the color is dialed way up. Before, I used to proceed with maximum caution (that will never really change), but my mind really became convinced and more at ease after I had a major color correction from brown to blonde that had to be done in one day, and my client’s hair actually felt healthier and looked shinier AFTER we were done. It can also be mixed into hair masks and processes with heat for an ultimate shine treatment.
What a pleasant surprise to discover a product that truly enhances an already favorite shade of mine. The only downside is that it is a bit pricey. I’m currently exploring ways that I can incorporate this product into more, if not most of my color treatments. Once the mathematics of it all are done (I am at the end of the day an independent contractor running a business!) I’ll pass on to clients how this can be added onto their color services. Stay tuned, and stay golden!

Since we live in a condo, we only control about 10 feet behind our back door. And we have to ask permission to change any of that.
That's a lot of plants on the deck. It was fantastic.
I love to garden and we've had no space. We do have a deck that is rather wonky; the previous owners had a hot tub that was too heavy for it and now it is askew. After a summer when we used it twice, we decided to replace it with raised bedded gardens When I say we, it is a bit of an exaggeration. I came up with this plan and David was happy to go with it. Mostly he isn't too invested in the backyard or growing things, but is happy to build things that make me happy. Basically best husband ever.
This is David and this is his garden bed.
I always say I will plant only a handful of things and then I get too excited in the nursery and buy too many plants and go hog wild. I just needed a space that was big enough to put all my plants in it to start. Pretty much I stick to planting vegetables and herbs. Flowers are lovely but if I'm doing all that work, I want to eat it at the end. We demolished the deck, disturbed a vole nest and dug holes to drop the raised garden beds into. Also do you see how rocky that soil is? It's awful fill that is almost entirely large rocks.
The first bed ready to be filled!
Our original plan was to reuse the wood from the deck for the raised garden beds. However after reading up about it, we didn't want to use treated wood and risk the chemicals leeching into our soil and our veggies. Dave got untreated cheap wood and built raised beds. We also lined the beds with garden weed fabric to hopefully keep the chickweed out for a while. The beds are 4 feet by 10 feet.One was just an empty box and the other had a divider down the middle. The simple box will be veggies and herbs. The divided box will have raspberry bushes transplanted from David's family's patch on one side and strawberry plants on the other.
Pretty beds filled with good soil! (And extra wood from the deck that we are going to use for stairs in the spring).
Since the gross rocky fill is useless, we had to have dirt delivered. (Did you know you can have dirt delivered?) A nice person in a dump truck dropped 4.5 cubic yards (over 4 tons) onto tarps on our driveway. We then moved it by wheel barrow into the boxes. I did use the larger rocks from the fills to make pretty rock paths all along the edges of the boxes. The fill was used to level out a dip in our neighbor's yard. Before winter fell, I transferred my chives (an annual) into the herb box and the strawberry plants into the fruit box. Then we mulched them with straw and waited for winter. I can't wait until spring when I can fill the boxes with plants!
Strawberry plant we will see you in the spring!

text: I have often reflected over the past years on my hypocrisy. I was brought up in the church and taught to pray from an early age, I became a minister of religion and preached on the importance of prayer. Yet time, silence and my reality as a gay man rusted the bars of belief in a personal God until now I no longer believe. My hypocrisy lies in the fact that though no longer believing I still find myself casting prayer into the universe, a reflexive habit from my days in the church? This poem attempts to capture some of that feeling of hypocrisy.

The high-powered Naresh Chandra Task Force, appointed by the government last year, submitted its detailed report to the Prime Minister a couple of months ago but so far there is no indication that the report will be made public soon. We do not even know if within the government deliberations have begun on the recommendations given by the Task Force.
From some of the occasional interaction that this author has had with a few members of the Task Force, before and after the submission of the report, one aspect is very clear: There was no consensus on the creation of the post of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), leading to, what one believes, a half-hearted recommendation to appoint another four-star officer as permanent chairman of the Chiefs of Staff Committee (CoSC).
According to the Task Force, this officer will be in charge of the two existing tri-services commands-the Strategic Command Force (SFC) and the Andaman Nicobar Command (ANC)-- while the three service Chiefs will continue command and lead their respective services, the Task Force said.
The Permanent Chairman CoSC, according to the recommendation of the Naresh Chandra Task Force, will have a fixed tenure of two years and will be rotated among the three services. This officer will be assisted by the existing Integrated Defence Staff (IDS), headed by a three star officer from any of the three services.
Over the past decade, the IDS has evolved in a barely workable tri-services structure with over 300 officers drawn from the three services trying to function as a cohesive unit tasked with evolving "jointness." On ground however, jointness or inter-operability has remained at best patchy.
The new recommendation seeks to overcome these differences. The Naresh Chandra Task Force has also recommended the creation of a separate Special Operations Command on the lines of the US structure since asymmetric threats are seen as the main challenge to India's national security in coming decades.
The new post, the Task Force is hoping, will also bring in synergy in major acquisitions for all the three forces. Often, the three services have worked independently in procuring same set of equipment, duplicating work and creating separate infrastructure when synergy would have saved hundreds of crores of rupees.
However, critics of the new system say the recommendation to appoint Chairman CoSC is nothing but old wine in new bottle. It is a 'no go' because the Chairman will remain ever dependent on each of the services Army, Navy & IAF for its personnel requirements. Personnel of each service will be 'lobbyists' of respective Chiefs. Yet another opportunity, they say, to reform has been lost. National Security System does not have to depend on seeking Least Common Multiple (LCM)-solutions. It does not have to seek to appease lobbies and turfs.
The solution, some in service officers say, lies in divesting the three Chiefs of operational command of forces. Let them be Chiefs of respective Staff - 'resource providers to joint operational/ strategic commands' - content with recruiting, training of personnel; holding and maintaining equipment; and executing related administrative functions.
Appointment of CDS is however the prerogative of the apex political authority, namely the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS). It can choose from panel of names forwarded by the three Services. There should be no rotation to appease services. Choice of apex political authority has to be final.
In absence of a common meeting ground on deciding to appoint a CDS, the Naresh Chandra Task Force recommendation can however be utilised in the interim in creating more cohesion among the services. For instance, the Chairman Chiefs of Staff Committee, who will have a fixed two year tenure can be made in charge of making net assessment about the strengths and weaknesses of India’s adversaries—China and Pakistan—in a holistic manner, taking into consideration inputs from all the three services and cross-referencing those inputs with other agencies like the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) and RAW. Currently, the three services send their individual assessments just to complete formalities to the IDS where it remains buried in files that never see the light of the day.
Moreover, if the Chairman Chiefs of Staff Committee is going to lead the proposed Special Operations Command why not create two more tri-services commands and give him some more work?
Given the frequency of cyber-attacks on India's IT infrastructure, creation of a cyber-command is only a matter of time. An aerospace command is inevitable sooner than later. Along with the creation of the proposed Special Operations Command, why not create these two additional tri-service commands? And let the Army, Air Force and Navy be the lead service for a particular command? And let the Army, Air Force and Navy be the lead service for a particular command?
The proposed Chairman Chiefs of Staff Committee can remain the head of these three commands with each of them being led by an Army Commander level officer. Given the experience and expertise available with the Army, it can take charge of the Special Operations Command, the IAF, with its domain knowledge, can take over the aerospace command and the Navy can lead the cyber command. The heads of these commands can have their second rung manned by two-star officers from each of the services so that they continue to have the benefit of expert advice from across the services but the overall responsibility must remain with the designated service.
Given that the existing tri-services commands go through painful changes each time their Commanders-in-Chief get rotated, making each of the service responsible for the proposed new commands will make their the working smoother and more efficient.
Over a decade after a CDS was recommended by the Group of Ministers (GoM) in the wake of the Kargil conflict, there is no unanimity on that issue yet. Given the strong differences within the services as well as in the political class, could this be the best arrangement for now? Or is it too impractical?
To find the right answers the government perhaps owes it to the people of India to make the Naresh Chandra Task Force report public and let a healthy debate ensue.

Each CD will have a sticker with a special code. The code will enable each buyer to download the full album from N.E.T.'s website for free.
"There is no true love" say those who never searched for it. "True rock'n'roll is dead" say those who lost it. The story of the N.E.T. starts from fragile friendship between love and rock'n'roll. This friendship survived through hardships of time, as the first N.E.T.'s live performance happened in the year 2001. Since then, the band's frontman Dima continues to search, find and fuse new chemical components in his music, and in the sound of the musicians he is destined to work with.
N.E.T. has a deep and melodic indie/progressive rock sound, with subtle influences from Muse, Led Zeppelin and from the guitar sound of John Frusciante and Placebo. The band has played as a 3-piece around various venues in London and recorded their first single CD in 2008. The best way to be introduced to N.E.T. is to see them play live. There will be more than enough to listen to and to look at, as well as to remember and to discuss afterwards.
The single will be released in May 2009.

Brendan Smialowski—AFP/Getty Images US President Barack Obama pauses while speaking at Georgia Tech on March 10, 2015 in Atlanta, Georgia.
Gabriel Scheinmann is Director of Policy at The Jewish Policy Center.
The Obama Administration may be on the verge of completing a deal that leaves Iran with a substantial nuclear capability, but about a year away from a bomb’s worth of fissile material. By not insisting on the dismantlement of any major nuclear infrastructure, or even on the complete cessation of enrichment activities, the White House is betting that not only is Iran likely to heed the deal, but also that the United States would have enough time to act appropriately and decisively if it does not. Believing it has headed-off the seemingly unavoidable march towards war with Iran, the White House is crowing about its impending diplomatic feat.
Unfortunately, rather than obviating the likelihood of war, this deal encourages it. For different reasons, inking this accord increases the chances that both Israel and the United States take military action against Iran to stop its nuclear pursuits. As former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger aptly concluded in recent Congressional testimony, the goal of the nuclear talks has evolved “from preventing proliferation to managing it.” In doing so, the Administration has sown the seeds of future conflict.
For Israel, the deal represents the failure of its decade-long effort to prevent Iranian proliferation. Unquestionably, the country has believed that it would not only be better to dismantle Iran’s program through non-military means, but also, if that option proved impossible, that the United States would take the lead in destroying Iran’s nuclear assets. The deal reveals that neither is true. The Obama Administration has chosen to tolerate rather than disassemble a vast Iranian nuclear program. Having an understandably much lower threshold for what it can tolerate due to its proximity to Iran and the regime’s heinous history, Israel may feel that it now has no choice but to take matters into its own hands, no matter how unattractive the consequences.
Ironically, the deal also likely commits the United States to future military action against Iran. Even the modest restrictions imposed will be removed in a decade, by which time Iran’s warhead and delivery mechanism will be fully operational. If, as time goes by, Washington realizes that it is unintentionally midwifing an Iranian bomb, it will have little choice but to abrogate the accord itself. Faced with the prospect of not just a nuclear-capable but also a nuclear-armed Iran, Washington may be compelled to preempt this scenario.
Moreover, the assumption of Iranian perfidy is baked into this deal. If merely a treaty-bound commitment were enough, then Iran’s longstanding membership in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty should suffice. The concept of any additional negotiations suggests, quite rightly, that Iran is likely to vitiate its own assurances. The one-year break-out time is intended to give the U.S. enough of a lead to identify Iranian cheating and marshal the international community to re-impose sanctions that will make the country heel. Hardly a chess novice, Iran would see that it has nothing to gain and everything to lose by breaking its commitments and sparking a return to the status quo ante of international isolation.
However, such a short break-out time only bolsters the likelihood of American military action. It took seven years of nuclear-related sanctions to coax Iran to the negotiating table, at which Iran has yet to make any irreversible commitments. No matter the president or Congress’ desire for alacrity, it would be impossible for even the most stringent sanctions to have their desired effect in less than twelve months. At that point, the only way the United States can prevent an Iranian break-out will be to credibly threaten the use of force. Perhaps unwittingly, the deal the Administration believes averts war only works if the U.S. is willing to go to war to enforce it.
To avoid war, the United States and Israel have two options: accept Iran as a nuclear power or negotiate a deal that eliminates Iran’s capacity to be one. Such a deal must verifiably dismantle Iran’s entire nuclear infrastructure and remove its capacity to enrich uranium at any level. By doing so, it can extend the break-out time to a matter of years, ensuring that it will indeed have enough time to prevent an Iranian bomb through non-military means.
The impending deal is not final. For cultural and political reasons, Iran may never agree to any deal, even one as advantageous as this one. Yet, unless the United States dramatically reverses the concessions it has made, this deal will not defer the threat of war, but accelerate it.
Have We Stopped Fearing Nuclear War?
It came up the other night as dinner conversation. “Where do you think the next nuclear war will break out?” I asked. Everybody had an opinion.
“Obviously on the Pakistan border,” said one person.
“What about China?” somebody mused.
What did I think? I was inclined to agree with the person who referred to Pakistan — and, by extension, India. I could also see it breaking out in the Middle East. Obvious places, where militaries have atomics and war is already tearing communities apart.
Nobody said they thought nuclear war was impossible. We all had ready theories about where the next one would start. Which made me think, inevitably, about that time a few weeks ago when we learned all those terrible things about the upcoming Terminator Genisys movie plot.
Let’s set aside the issues with who Sarah Connor is, and retcons and all that. What really busted my chops was the reason why the movie wouldn’t be focused on averting nuclear holocaust.
So worrying about global thermonuclear war is retro, like 80s teen flick Wargames.
Let’s just take what Ellison says at face value for a moment, and consider that people might find digital attacks scarier than nukes. Maybe that’s true, but one of the best-known cyberattacks in history was the Stuxnet worm, unleashed by the US government against — you guessed it — a uranium enrichment facility in Iran. (Enriched uranium is used both for making bombs and nuclear power facilities.) So “cyberattack” isn’t really something that we can separate out from “nuclear holocaust” very easily. The two things have become wedded, both in reality and in the public mind.
Even in cheesy pop culture stories about the deadly cybers, the usual fear at the bottom of the “stop that hacker” plot is that somehow an evil computery thing will be used to unleash a bomb. Indeed, that trope grows partly out of Cold War classics like Wargames and the original Terminator movies, where many audiences first because acquainted with the idea that we don’t need Soviets and Americans punching red buttons to start a war. With computers controlling our weapons systems, nuclear annihilation could happen because of a software bug — or because the weapons system itself became sentient (as so often happens in these situations).
No, we have not stopped fearing nuclear war. People just don’t fear it in the same way they did during the Cold War. It has become part of the ambient background horror of our globally-connected lives in the twenty-first century.
Journalist George Johnson recently had a moving piece in the New York Times about visiting the site of the “Woodpecker” in Ukraine — a massive wall of radio towers designed to give distant early warning of a U.S. nuclear attack on the U.S.S.R. Though the place is slowly crumbling to rust, he ponders how the threat it monumentalized is far from over. He imagines the “next nuclear catastrophe — deliberate or accidental, and of a vastly more devastating scale.” These decaying defenses aren’t signs that nuclear war is no longer terrifying to us. They’re simply a previous generation’s way of dealing with a horror that still haunts the world.
I think probably the science fiction writer Maureen McHugh, in her short story collection After the Apocalypse, comes the closest to capturing our nuclear fears in this century.
In these interlinked stories, dirty bombs are going off in cities pretty regularly. They aren’t annihilating all of humanity — they are lobbed across borders by non-state actors, the way gunfire is today. They’re just one more rip in the social fabric, along with plagues and indentured servitude and national borders bristling with guns.
Civilization-erasing weapons are part of our everyday background stress in the twenty-first century. We don’t fear nukes less than the idea that the NSA and Uber dipshits are tracking our movements through our phones. But we also don’t see a big distinction between controlling people’s computers and controlling a massive arsenal. It’s all connected.
I hope by now you understand that I’m not just talking about flaws in the new Terminator movie’s alleged plot. I am talking about how nuclear holocaust is still an almost incomprehensible horror to most of us. But now we know it is not the only way that the world might end. There are other ways, maybe slower or less obvious, that might come first.

The terms "adrenal exhaustion" or "adrenal fatigue" are sometimes used to describe a chronic feeling of mild physical and emotional depletion that can follow a period or episode of intense stress. Not to be confused with adrenal insufficiency, a medically diagnosable and treatable illness, adrenal exhaustion is not fully understood. Some believe long-term or excessive use of stimulants like coffee can exhaust the adrenal system. However, there is no evidence for this hypothesis.
Your adrenal glands are small, triangular glands located on the top of your kidneys. They produce many of the hormones and chemicals responsible for health, energy and mood, such as the hormones cortisol, which is produced in response to stress or low blood sugar; aldosterone, which raises blood pressure; and testosterone. When confronted with stress, the adrenal glands release dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine. These chemicals raise heart rate, blood pressure and feelings of alertness.
Coffee contains caffeine, a central nervous system stimulant, which provides a short-term burst of energy and alertness. Drinking 2 to 3 cups of coffee a day is probably safe for most healthy adults. Too much, however, can lead to insomnia, trembling, uneven heartbeat, headaches and dehydration and can cause withdrawal symptoms like severe headaches and irritability if you stop drinking it. The caffeine in coffee may also elevate the adrenal glands' production of norepinephrine and epinephrine, although it is not known whether there are any long-term results of this effect.
Adrenal insufficiency, also known as Addison's disease, is a rare illness in which the adrenal glands stop producing enough cortisol and aldosterone due to damage or illness. Adrenal insufficiency can also occur when the brain does not properly stimulate cortisol production. Adrenal exhaustion and adrenal fatigue are nonmedical terms sometimes used to describe the worn-out feeling that can follow a period of intense stress. In theory, constant stress or overindulgence in stimulants like coffee can provoke the adrenal glands to overproduce, eventually leaving them too depleted to function properly. However, there is no scientific evidence that this is a physical disorder or that coffee causes it.
If you believe coffee consumption is negatively affecting your health, taper off slowly to avoid withdrawal symptoms. If you continue to experience unexplained fatigue, weight loss, dizziness, hair loss, low blood pressure and body aches, ask your doctor whether Addison's disease is a possible cause. If you are at risk, a simple test of your cortisol levels can confirm the diagnosis. Other possible causes of these symptoms include potentially serious conditions such as depression and chronic fatigue syndrome, so see your doctor for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

On the eve of Replacements co-counder Tommy Stinson bringing his band Bash and Pop to the High Dive in Gainesville, Fla., we had a chance to talk to him about the state of his music and the state of America.
In Minnesota in 1979, 13-year-old Tommy Stinson and his 20-year-old brother Bob co-founded the Replacements along with drummer Chris Mars and finally frontman Paul Westerberg. With classic LPs such as Let it Be and Tim, the band pioneered what later came to be known as alternative rock, while largely retaining their original punk sound.
After the band broke up in 1991, Tommy Stinson started the band Bash and Pop, which comprising friends from Minneapolis, recorded the album “Friday Night is Killing Me,” and the single “Making Me Sick” for the classic film Clerks, before breaking up two years later.
Tommy’s brother Bob Stinson had left the Replacements in 1986 and sadly passed away at the age of 35 in 1995 after playing in various bands.
After Bash and Pop, Tommy went on to form the band Perfect (1995-1998) before joining Guns n’ Roses lineup as its permanent bass player for eight years (1998-2016). Tommy has also worked with Soul Asylum, made two solo albums and produced music for other musicians.
In 2016, Tommy re-formed Bash and Pop and released the LP Anything Can Happen in 2017. In 2017 he also released a duet with Nicole Atkins, “Too Late.” In November, another single with her, “Saturday Night,” is set for release.

Secrets to the US defeat over Guatemala today: better confidence, better skill, better execution, better poise, better athleticism, better "everything." Guatemala put up a fight, but they ended up not being a match on the score board. It was evident why the US hasn't lost to them since 1988...that's 27 years! That's a long time Guatemala - come on guys. Based on that alone I think a lot of devote US fans would root for you to win, if only to get a little rivalry going. 27 years? Wow. I mean, that's some serious struggle. That's got to be wrong. If anybody knows of a single victory Guatemala has had over the US men's team since 1988 please let me know. Because that just sounds off. That's rough for Guatemala.
They showed plenty of spirit, but their chances of scoring in the attacking third of the field were next to nothing. In second half, some veterans came on, with great skill, and almost scored numerous times, but that was about it...aside from their flurry, nothing else looked remotely close for them to score. However, it was still a back-and-forth game in the midfield with plenty of crunching tackles and lively play. At times, the Guatemalans showed spark, and craft...just not enough for the overpowering effort of the US (wearing their new and improved "all blue" uniform with subtle gradients that would make Tim Gunn proud; whoever designed that: a pat on the back; it's about time!).
Essentially, with a late tap-in goal around the 85th minute, it was a 3-0 win, as the US scored off an own-goal in the first half, then Timmy Chandler hit a left-footed blast from distance (that stayed waist height; a beautiful shot) landing in the far corner, which started off the second half scoring, followed by a penalty kick from Dempsey. 4-0 was the final, with notable skillful moments from Dempsey and Diskerud, along with cohesive play around in front of the Nashville, Tennessee crowd, all 44,835 of them. This was a good win for the US getting ready for the opening Gold Cup match next week against another Central American foe, Honduras.
Based on today's performance Guatemala won't beat the US for another twenty years!
The US totally outplayed Guatemala, as usual!!!

From selecting the right retirement plan for your needs and choosing providers to the implementation of the plan and monitoring results, we serve as an advocate every step of the way. In addition to providing asset allocation guidance for the plan on an ongoing basis, we also handle the fine details of setting up the plan, including enrollment meetings, ongoing education and empowering employees to select the right strategies.
We consult with you to design your company retirement plan around your goals while navigating regulatory requirements. Multiple scenarios are run to illustrate the financial and tax impacts of various plan designs – we help you choose the right approach for your needs.
Based upon the unique attributes of your company plan, we independently search and review administrators to determine who is best equipped to serve you. With a focus on cost and efficiency, we work with you to simplify and manage the selection and conversion process.
We take an active role in educating & empowering plan sponsor employees through our financial education curriculum. Our process tailors topics that have been covered when teaching past graduate & undergraduate college finance students and applies it to the needs of your team. Improving the financial literacy of employees can enable them to make more informed decisions while building an appreciation for the company benefits being provided.
