| Lookout Blog April 19, 2013
April 19, 2013
By Marc Rogers
Overview Lookout has discovered BadNews, a new malware family, in 32 apps across four different developer accounts in Google Play. According to Google Play statistics, the combined affected applications have been downloaded between 2,000,000 - 9,000,000 times. We notified Google and they promptly removed all apps and suspended the associated developer accounts pending further investigation. All Lookout users are protected against this threat.BadNews masquerades as an innocent, if somewhat aggressive advertising network. This is one of the first times that we've seen a malicious distribution network clearly posing as an ad network. Because it's challenging to get malicious bad code into Google play, the authors of Badnews created a malicious advertising network, as a front, that would push malware out to infected devices at a later date in order to pass the app scrutiny. Badnews has the ability to send fake news messages, prompt users to install applications and sends sensitive information such as the phone number and device ID to its Command and Control (C&C) server. BadNews uses its ability to display fake news messages in order to push out other types of monetization malware and promote affiliated apps. During our investigation we caught BadNews pushing AlphaSMS, well known premium rate SMS fraud malware, to infected devices.
BadNews is a significant development in the evolution of mobile malware because it has achieved very wide distribution by using a server to delay its behavior. If an app has not yet engaged in malicious behavior, a typical app vetting process would of course conclude that it was safe because the malicious behavior has not yet occurred. We have two big takeaways from the appearance of BadNews:
Developers need to pay very close attention to any third-party libraries they include in their applications. Unsafe libraries can put their users and reputation at risk.
Enterprise security managers must assume that even very well designed app-vetting processes will not be able to detect malicious behavior that hasn't happened yet. Ongoing security monitoring is important to detect malicious behavior that happens some time after an app's initial evaluation.
Impact About 50% of the identified applications are in Russian and AlphaSMS is designed to commit premium rate SMS fraud in the Russian Federation and neighboring countries such as the Ukraine, Belarus, Armenia and Kazakhstan. It's worth noting that the people controlling this malware are also using it promote their less popular apps, which also contain BadNews.
The following table provides information about each of the 32 identified malicious apps, including high and low download boundaries.
Lookout's Take BadNews is spun to look like an ordinary advertising network SDK and is hosted in a number of innocuous applications that range from Russian dictionary apps to popular games. It distributes the exact same malware that we have observed across a number of shady affiliate-based marketing websites. In addition, we found BadNews promoting other less popular affiliated apps, including a Russian diet app which also contained the BadNews.It is not clear whether some or all of these apps were launched with the explicit intent of hosting BadNews or whether legitimate developers were duped into installing a malicious advertising network. However, based on our analysis of the backend code behind a number of these purported ad networks there is little doubt that BadNews is a fraudulent monetization SDK.
How it Works Once activated, BadNews polls its C&C server every four hours for new instructions while pushing several pieces of sensitive information including the device's phone number and its serial number (IMEI) up to the server.
The C&C server replies with instructions telling BadNews what to do next. Available instructions include displaying (fake) news to users, and prompting for installation of a downloaded app payload.
An example of a "news" response is shown below:
The Russian text roughly translates to "Critical Update to Vkontakte," implying an available update to a popular Russian Social Networking app. We have also observed available "update" prompts for Skype.
In each case, the URL points to a download for the prolific AlphaSMS toll fraud app, which purports to install freely available software, but actually results in fraudulent charges via Premium SMS.
We have enumerated the majority of available download URLs and determined that most endpoints lead to the download of AlphaSMS. Others lead to cross-promotion of other infected apps on Google Play.
The APKs themselves have names such as skype_installer.apk, mail.apk, and vkontakte_installer.apk in an attempt to trick the user into accepting the permissions requested during APK installation and also line up with the text in the news article about this being part of a critical update.
Further, it is clear that a substantial amount of code in BadNews has previously appeared in other families associated with Eastern European toll fraud. The figure below summarizes the similarity of package structure, class names, method names and variables between BadNews and RuPaidMarket.m.
Command & Control Servers
We have identified three C&C servers, one in Russia, one in the Ukraine, and one in Germany. All C&C servers are currently live but Lookout is working to bring them down.
How to Stay Safe
Make sure the Android system setting 'Unknown sources' is unchecked to prevent dropped or drive-by-download app installs.
Download a mobile security app like Lookout's app that protects against malware as a first line of defense.

The beautiful handmade dolls pictured above were created from a pattern developed for The Purl Bee by the incredibly talented, brilliant and generous Mimi Kirchner. When we first discovered Mimi's blog, Doll, we were in absolute awe of her work and knew we must invite her to create a doll pattern for our readers. We were so pleased when she accepted our invitation and even more thrilled when she brought the dolls with her to New York City and we finally got to meet her. We loved Mimi just as much as we love her dolls!
PS. Be sure to check out Mimi's Blog by clicking this link to see all of her beautiful work!
Finished Measurements
Approximately 14-inches tall from heel to top of head.
- You'll need one piece of our Wolvitz 100% Wool Felt for each color used to make your doll. You'll have enough felt left to make a second doll except for the dress (unless you piece the dress together from remaining scraps). Here are the colors we used for each doll:
Yellow Doll: # 2, 12, 13, 33, 36, 91
Green Doll: # 9, 14,19, 22, 42, 43, 51, 40
Pink Doll: # 8, 10, 14, 25, 35, 43, 40
Taupe Doll (in how-to photographs below): # 6, 19, 22, 34, 35, 36, 91
- Cotton embroidery thread in colors that blend with felt
- Silk embroidery thread (for hip joints)
- Two 1/2-inch, two-hole buttons
- Small snap
- Stuffing
- Freezer paper (available at your local grocery store)
- Hemostat Forceps for stuffing
- Fabric Shears
- Pinking Shears
- Water soluble fabric marker
- Straight pins
- Embroidery scissors or other small pointy scissors
- Embroidery needles or Doll Needles
Pattern Templates
Download Mimi's Handsewn Doll templates here, the 4 pages include:
- Body
- Dress
- Hair styles 1, 2 and 3
- Face template and embroidery notes
Prepare Pattern Pieces
Pick which hair style you want.
Print out pattern and transfer pieces to matte side of freezer paper using a sunny window.
Cut out freezer paper pattern pieces.
Iron the pattern pieces, shiny side down, onto the felt with your iron at wool setting. After ironing, pin the pattern pieces to felt to hold the layers together. (The photo above shows all three hairstyles, you'll only need to use one of them). Note that most of the pieces are cut from a double layer of felt, which you can see in the photo below.
Cut around pattern pieces. Save scraps for decorating the dress and hair later on.
Note: there are no seam allowances so cut carefully!
Mark all dots on felt with a water soluble marking pen.
Assemble Doll
When you make your doll, use embroidery thread that matches your felt. You will note in our photos that we've used a contrasting thread so that you can see it.
Backstitch, click here).
Fold arm, right side out, and continue up the arm with a whip stitch. Do not cut thread at the end, you will use it later. (For help with Whip Stitch, click here).
Begin stitching the hand from the top down toward the wrist, stuffing as you go to ensure a firm wrist.
Complete stitching to wrist.
Stuff arm using forceps to within 3/4-inch from the end of the arm.
Repeat for second arm.
Attach head to torso by backstitching across the neck at the stitch line, do not cut thread, continue onto opposite side of torso.
Stitch around head and stuff, making sure neck is stiff.
Stitch down one side of torso starting at neck and ending at crotch on one side.
Stitch down other side of torso stopping at top of hip.
Stuff body and stitch closed.
Overlap boot over leg at dots.
Attach boot and leg by backstitching across ankle at the stitch line. Do not cut thread.
Picking up the same thread, repeat with other side of boot and leg. Stitch around both sides of boot stuffing as you go along to ensure firm ankle.
Stitch up front of leg and stop at top.
Stitch up back of leg to 1/2-inch past knee dots. Do not cut thread.
Stuff leg up to knee. Pinch leg so seams meet at center of leg. Using a new piece of thread stitch across knee and then back again using backstitch or running stitch.
Picking up thread where you left off, continue stitching up back of leg until 3/4-inches remains. Stuff leg and stitch closed.
Repeat for second leg.
Assemble body
Attach Arms
Mimi warns that attaching the arm is hard to explain, but easy to do!
To attach arms to body, fold felt 1/4-inch to the inside at top of each arm.
Pinch opening closed so arm seam is in the middle as pictured above.
Stitch across opening using whipstitch. Don't cut thread.
Pinch top of arm into v-shape.
Poke needle and thread from arm through dots on both sides of torso and then back through other side of V on arm. Repeat several times until arms is securely fastened to torso.
Tie off under arm, poke needle back in and out of torso and snip end.
Repeat for other arm.
Attach Legs
Note: Mimi warns that you may think its nuts to use such a long piece of thread for this step, but we promise you will need it!
To attach legs to body, cut a 40-inch piece of silk embroidery thread (or nylon upholstery thread). Warning: Only silk embroidery thread or nylon upholstery thread are strong enough for this step!
Arrange pieces on flat surface as follows from left to right…. button, left leg, torso, right leg, button. Make sure toes are pointing up!
Thread needle, double the thread and tie two ends together.
Put needle through left button, left leg at dots, torso at dots, right leg at dots, and right button.
Pull thread through enough to make it all the way back, but leave at least 6 inches of thread on side you started from as pictured below.
Go back through everything in reverse. Note: Leave approximately 1/16-inch between first thread trail and second so thread doesn't catch on itself inside.
Pinch hips and legs, pull thread tight and tie in a square knot (for help with a Square Knot, click here). Note: If tied tight enough, doll should sit up by itself.
Snip thread ends.
The hair can be tricky because of varying head shapes resulting from stuffing. With a little fiddling all will be fine.
Wig #1
Cut out 2 pattern pieces. Cut out center piece on ONLY one piece.
Using back stitch, sew around edge of hair with a 1/8-inch seam allowance.
Turn rightside out and iron flat.
Slip hair over head like a hat with raw edges of felt framing top and sides of face. The bottom of the cut out oval is flat against back of head.
Pin hair in place.
Stitch hair to face using whip stitch.
Wig #2
Center wig on head by just overlapping center of wig on center of seam on head.
Pin wig along side head seam and across bottom of back of hair.
Stitch along bottom.
Pin side flaps as flat as possible to face. Equally distribute any puckering or pleating. It is also okay if pieces of the wig overlap where front meets back.
Stitch side panels in place.
Pin top panels to face easing any extra fabric into a pleat at the top of the "part".
Stitch in place.
Wig #3
Cut out both pieces.
mark center of cap piece and center of fringe piece. match up bottom of cap and top of fringe using the marks just made. Overlap cap over fringe 1/4-inch.
Stitch along cap edge using back stitch.
Place wig on head while holding the "part" together. Once centered, pin two sides of the "part" in place.
Smooth the part with fingers. Pin at center back first and then all along back cap edge.
Holding the front "hair line" down with your finger curved over the top of the head, pin the front of the hair in place. Any puckering will work itself out when you stitch the hair in place.
Start stitching at the back of the "part" and go around one side and stop at the fringe.
Go back and do other side the same way only this time stitch across the fringe right under where it is overlapped by the cap.
Cut out all dress pieces including optional pieces below:
- A second waist band with smooth edge to go over pinked waist band
- Ten 1-inch long leaves
- Six 3/4-inch circles (flowers)
- Six 1/4-inch circles (flower centers)
Pin hem trim, flowers and leaves in place
Attach hem trim and leaves using a running stitch.
Attach flowers by running embroidery thread through the center and back out again.
Tie the thread in a square knot and trim to approximately 1/2-inch long.
Overlap the back edge of the bodice with the waist by 1/4-inch.
Sew together using a running stitch.
Sew the back seam of the dress closed using a running stitch or back stitch. Stop stitching 1 1/4-inches down from the waist to allow room to slip the dress on.
Sew small snap at top of collar back overlapping felt just enough to fit the snap.
Cut out face template.
Cut out face features. (Note: for eyebrows and nose just cut a line without removing any paper.)
Center template on face and trace features using water soluble marker. (Note: placing pins in the eyes and mouth after tracing helps determine if everything is in the right place.
See face embroidery illustration (page 4 of the pattern) for detailed stitching directions.
When you're all through, hug doll!

The new machine incorporates Schwing's exclusive Super X Outriggers that set-up fast and provide a compact and stable platform for pumping. These curved front outriggers telescope out and around obstacles without extending past the truck's front bumper allowing placement of the pump as close to the pour area as possible. The S 43 SX only requires a 27-ft. 3-in. outrigger spread (same front and rear) for exceptional stability. With low unfolding height of 28 ft. 6 in., the new model also offers versatility in low overhead situations. A 160-gallon water tank provides self-sufficiency for clean-up at the yard or on the job site.
The Standard Schwing Vector Control system is the only system that can match the versatility of the RZ boom. Twin joysticks provide proportional boom control for pin-point accuracy. In addition, Vector is also the only system providing two-way communication between the pump and operator. An LED display on the remote box informs the operator of operational conditions, including: hydraulic pressure; PTO rpm; strokes per minute; hydraulic oil temperature; and, hopper grate status. The Vector System also records critical data that tracks yards per hour to more accurately schedule maintenance and extend machine life.
The Generation 3 concrete pump is the low-maintenance, 213-cu. yd./hour, long-lasting, high performance 2525-6 unit that provides long slow-stroking action. The all-hydraulic design utilizes the Schwing Big Rock Valve, promoting maximum filling efficiency of the material cylinders even with harsh mixes. Schwing's open circuit design provides continuous hydraulic oil flow for fuel efficiency, superior filtration and better cooling. With the S 43 SX this pump kit can effectively handle infrastructure work, light commercial projects and bridges. In conjunction with the 5-in.pipeline, contractors can count on high volume or provide slow, smooth delivery with infinite volume control. — 888/724-9464; www.schwing.com

Wedding Songs: What Will You Dance to at Your Reception?
Dec 27, 2012
If you've ever been to a wedding, you know that the DJ often plays those well known silly dance songs that almost everyone knows the moves to: the Chicken Dance, Macarena, the Electric Slide, and more modernly, the Cotton Eye Joe or the Cha Cha Slide.
Well, with two upcoming weddings in our Little Things office, a debate got started a couple weeks ago on whether or not our brides-to-be will play these "traditional" funny songs at their reception. Are these dances outdated? Too ridiculous for some couple's personalities? Or truly classics that should be upheld?
Our brides in the office say no, those won't be played at their weddings! (Though one groom-to-be argued that he wanted them played). Then we decided to ask our Facebook fans what they thought of the silly steps.
Based on the responses, only a few claimed that they won't be playing any such songs. "It's just not what we want for our wedding," said Brigid M. from NY.
Others, like Kasey D. from FL said, "Why not? There's no reason you can't be silly and have fun at your own wedding! If no one wants to join in, oh well – it's their loss." Tiffani D. from IL agreed that songs such as these get more people out on the dance floor, as well as Cassy C. from IN who said guests at her wedding loved them, and it got the kids involved too!
Others were specific about which songs they would be playing: Rebecca P. from NJ, as well as others like Lauren B. also from NJ, Rachel D. from MA, and Hannah R. from FL all vetoed the Chicken Dance but not the Electric Slide. There were many other Facebook fans who even threw in some others we forgot–or didn't even know of–like the Hokey Pokey, the Wobble, the Cupid Shuffle and the Hora, where guests will lift the newly wedded couple in the air to dance to the song in proud Jewish tradition.
The winner of this contest is Amy Gyure! Amy was one of the many who agreed that these songs are classic and said every wedding she's attended has played them. Congratulations Amy – you've won a pair of our Bride Ballet Shoes with Embroidered Gift Pouch from Cathy's Concepts! Please send us an email to firstname.lastname@example.com to claim your prize – and let us know what size you will need!
Though some think these kinds of songs are not appropriate for their wedding, there will still be tons of other music played – including your wedding song for the first dance! We wanted to know what was or will be our Facebook fans' wedding songs, and we got a ton of responses on this one! There was such a variety, but a couple of songs showed up more than once:
"I Won't Give Up" by Jason Mraz
"God Gave Me You" by Blake Shelton
"God Bless the Broken Road" by Rascall Flatts
"Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not" by Thompson Square
"From This Moment On" by Shania Twain
"I'll Be" – Marion S. from TN will play The Goo Goo Dolls version, and Anthony G. from NY played Edward McCain's.
Linda J. from NZ didn't have a song to dance to, but instead used "The Prayer" by Gosh Grobin and Celine Dion in place of the wedding march. Leissa B. from NJ won't be having a first dance either: "our wedding will be very non-traditional," she said.
Congratulations to Amanda Nelson from Lakeport, California! Her first dance was to "This Big" by Scotty McCreery, and she even had a last dance to Brad Paisley's "Then". You've won a $50 gift certificate to www.LittleThingsFavors.com or www.LittleThingsBaby.com. Please send us an email to email@example.com to claim your prize!
We'd like to thank all of our Facebook fans for sharing their opinions and songs – and giving our brides-to-be here in the office some ideas!

It was my birthday earlier this month, and things have been crazy since then with press days, deadlines and having builders in the house ripping out my bathrooms. I am new to this posting of outfits but I really liked this one, this is probably not going to happen again for a while, but I felt even with the delay that this outfit deserved to be posted.
I don't know about you but I always treat myself to a new birthday outfit, and as Paulie was taking me to dinner with my mum to a fancy restaurant I thought summery and girlie was the way to go. So I went for this two-piece from New Look and teamed it with my new Love Label mackintosh extreme wedges from Very *which they kindly gifted to me at their press day*.
What I love most is the floral print, I am not sure if they do it in a dress but I thought that the New Look gold button floral vest and the belted flower skirt worked together, and I like how the tan belt nips in my waist. Special attention has to go to those wedges, they are much higher than I would normally go for, but it felt good walking on stilts all night!!!
As well as my outfit I thought I would share my amazing dinner at Browns in Cambridge, the best bit had to be the delicious toffee sticky pudding – so good I nearly forgot to snap it!!!

"Financial Literacy for Women" will be presented Wednesday, March 5, 5:30–7 p.m., in Foster Auditorium, 102 Paterno Library. Presenter Dr. Daad Rizk, a Penn State financial literacy coordinator, will offer a practical workshop to help woman avoid what many fear in old age—the "bag-lady" syndrome. The fear is predicated by the facts that women carry the same debt as men or more, earn less over a life time, spend more years out of the workforce, save and invest little if any, and feel less confident than men in handling personal finances. Fifty percent of marriages end up in divorce, and 3 out of 4 married women end up widowed by age of 75.
The presentation is part of the Money Counts: a Financial Literacy Series, a collaborative effort of the Penn State Commission for Adult Learners and the University Libraries.
Registration and additional details are available at

Cheese and butter prices plummet as buyers show very little desire to replenish inventory before the end of the year.
What many thought was not going to happen in the foreseeable future happened over the past few weeks. Cheese and butter prices plummeted to price levels not seen since late July and early August.
What makes it surprising is that these prices were on the rise as the nation's drought was unfolding, and grain prices were rising due to declining crop conditions. Higher grain prices increased culling. Heavy culling is ongoing as feed prices remain high and profitability virtually non-existent. Cow numbers have fallen below year-earlier levels, dropping milk production below year-ago levels. So why have cheese and butter prices fallen as low as they have?
Despite high feed prices and heavy culling, milk production remains strong, with the October milk production report showing milk output down only 0.1% for the nation.
Along with this, butterfat and protein content of the milk being produced is being termed as "outstanding" for this time of year. This improves cheese yield, thereby making more available to the market at a time when holiday orders have been filled. Buyers of cheese and butter purchased extra supply earlier, anticipating the amount of fill-in orders and regular demand that will need to be taken care of.
This leaves buyers comfortable with their supply -- no need to aggressively purchase. There is very little desire to purchase product to replenish inventory before the end of the year. Buyers see the weakness in the market and will not step up to purchase unless a bottom is established. The industry intends to keep supply close to demand. Extra product is put out as quickly as possible to avoid a supply buildup.
Cheese production in October was surprisingly strong. American cheese output reached 370.6 million pounds, up 5.1% for September and the highest monthly output since March. Total cheese production was 927.9 million pounds, up 3.2% and also the highest output since March. Cheese production during the rest of this month will be strong as milk is diverted from bottling when schools are closed.
There is already some difficulty in finding a home for the extra spot loads of milk that are available. There are reports from the Midwest that some milk is being priced as much as $2.50 below class in order to entice manufacturers to take the extra milk that is and will be available. Fluid handlers are actively making arrangement with manufacturers for the milk that will need to be diverted. It will be an interesting few weeks. There is plenty of plant capacity but unwillingness to fill that capacity in the near-term.
The good news is that the dry whey price continues to increase. The most recent AMS price reached 65.70 cents, the highest price since the week of Feb. 4 and nearing the high set on Jan. 21 of 71.13 cents. The last time the whey price was in this range, demand began to slow as alternatives were sought. There is some indication stocks are slowly increasing as buyers are purchasing hand-to-mouth through the end of the year. Contracts are being finalized for much of 2013. Traders feel prices will weaken as the calendar moves into 2013. Dry whey futures indicate prices may decline to 53 cents by late summer and fall. Still a good price, but a decline of 13 cents would mean a decrease of 78 cents per cwt. on the milk check.
Feed prices need to be protected. The recent decline is providing the opportunity for price protection. China has recently been purchasing corn but in smaller quantities than needs to be reported on a daily basis. It appears they will continue to do this. They seem to be "flying under the radar," so to speak. Large quantity purchasing always gets greater attention by the media and spurs price rallies.
My recommendation is to purchase call option spreads for expected feed needs through mid-year. Purchase an at-the-money call and sell a call option against it 70-80 cents higher for 25 cents or less. The current drought monitor map does not look much better than it did last summer. We certainly will see another volatile year.

Make pruning a priority as winter winds down
The calendar says winter, but it's a busy time in the landscape. Pruning is one of the top jobs in the landscape in February.
Freeze-killed tops
Begin with freeze-killed stems of lantana, salvia, duranta, firebrush, esperanza and other cold-sensitive plants. In most cases, it's best to cut the stems to ground level. Because temperatures haven't dipped much below freezing this winter, some stems may not have died back. Leave that live wood to give the plant a head start on spring blooms.
Fruit trees and roses
For the most part, hybrid tea roses, peaches and plums are pruned in a similar manner. The cutting is necessary to stimulate growth, increase air movement within the plant and control pests.
The first step is to remove dead and distressed wood. Leave three or four main stems radiating from the center at about 60 degrees to form a cup, then open up the middle to allow air movement.
It is especially important not to strip all small stems off fruit trees. "Trashy" middles allow some protection from sunburn.
Leave roses about 3 feet high. Cut fruit trees to about 10 feet.
Crape myrtle
Crape myrtles bloom on new growth, and most do not need severe pruning to stimulate that new growth. Crape myrtles will survive and even bloom well with savage pruning, which they can be subjected to, but it is not necessary.
The healthiest hedges are those on which only a portion of the new growth is pruned. The remaining foliage must be adequate to support the plant. For conifers that are hedged, it is especially important to wait until after the flush of new growth to prune. Half the new growth is then removed with hedging cuts.
More Information
Early bloomers
Wait until after early-blooming plants flower to avoid removing all the bloom wood. Climbing roses, Texas mountain laurel, redbuds and Lady Banks roses are in this category.
Shade trees
It is usually best to let a professional tree maintenance company prune shade trees. Trees are valuable assets, and it is worth it to prune them in a way that preserves their beauty and maintains their health. Topping a tree is never appropriate.
Letting a professional prune your shade trees also is advisable for your safety. Pruning a tall tree is dangerous. Select an arborist with a good reputation. Ask for references and proof of insurance.

The hunter "big deal" and what it means to priests
It's a WoW blog, I suppose I ought to throw in a WoW post. (grin)
Over in hunter land there's been much talk of an almost minor change in spell process that's having a HUGE effect on shot rotation macros. And I think that the change matters to priests, too.
Let's start with the minor change and its effect on hunters before we go to priest work. Once auto-shot is started, casting a "command" shot won't interrupt it. AND, during that last half-second of cast time, any button pressed will start immediately after the auto-shot starts. If you pressed many buttons during that half-second, the last one pressed is the one that takes.
Now how this works for hunters is that it beats the crap out of clipping, and encourages button-spamming. First, you set up a macro, of which the critical line goes something like:
/castsequence !Auto Shot, Steady Shot
Now there are many permutations and improvements, but that's the basic deal. What it says is "Alternate between toggling Auto shot on and casting steady shot." A couple of peculiarities in that exclamation point make a useful digression. First, since auto shot is a toggle (press it's on, press it's off) it'd be frustrating to keep starting and stopping it. The ! says, "if it's on, leave it on," no turning it off. It also, due to the odd way macros work, means the macro skips that if it's already on. ("Can't do that" in a macro automatically moves to "do the next thing.")
So the hunter starts pummeling this macro – two or three times per second, even. And what happens is that autoshot goes and doesn't get clipped, but the steady shot goes off as soon as it can with no particular delay. Lag is practically eliminated. Yeah, wow. Hunters using this sort of thing are seeing significant boosts in DPS.
But I said this matters to priests, not just my hunter alt. So… huh?
Let's start with interrupt casting – a classic healpriest skill. You've probably already noticed it just Doesn't Seem to Work. You need a /stopcasting line. Something like:
/cast Greater Heal
OK, that's pretty simple and probably obvious. But… I've run across a couple of other situations. There are a couple of boss battles where, if you're the tank's main healer, you want back-to-back heals. Even an instant of lag is potentially fatal. So… yeah, you can see where this is going. I'm recommending button mashing. Not one click and hope. Start fast-tapping while the cast is going. And if you're planning to do something in the middle – say, a frisbee in the midst of chained greater heals – just start mashing the appropriate button, and jump right back when it goes.
I've not respecced to test this with mindflay. My guess is that you can still interrupt it, but I don't know. It makes a difference, so if there's a spriest who's tried and wants to mention, I'd appreciate it. But for the non-channeling spells, this has the potential to be VERY useful, as it goes a long way to negating lag.
Go have fun.

wow… the things one learns. And here I thought I knew it all, lol.
Thanks for sharing!
Are you saying to do something like:
/castsequence !mindflay, mindflay

i don't usualy get into the celeb reality shows, partly as i don't usually know who the 'celebs' are. the last celeb bb scraped the barrel but ended up the most controversial yet.
i kind of hope standby contestant tony mortimer gets a go.
ben adams
was apparently in a band called A1. i don't remember them at all. i didn't remember the band ziggy from the last bb was supposedly in around the same time either. clearly i wasn't paying attention.
mutya buena
not sure she needed to do this, she just needs to do more work with people like groove armada. or get all the sugababes back together as a fivesome. it's also a bit of a risk, can see her being at the very least on the fringes of any controversy.
terry christian
he's 48! who knew. far less annoying than i remember on 'the word'. not that he ever came remotely near honk voiced, self-deluded oxygen thief dani behr. her comeback has been thankfully squashed. did she forget how much everyone hates her?
is so far following samuel l jackson's tried and tested 'i heart the uk' route. worst behaviour so far has been to fart in bed. is a serial reality show contestant and also has recently hosted an online cooking show, the fabulously titled 'cookin' with coolio'.
michelle heaton
fresh from her divorce from andy scott-lee. since the split she's been linked to matt di angelo, ziggy lichman and liam mcgough from 2007 bb. who i'm sure aren't rubbing their hands together at the thought of revealing all to a few quality publications whilst she's in the house. silly girl.
latoya jackson
has released 11 albums. of which i have heard precisely none. i wonder what it was about jermaine's experience two years ago, exactly, that made her want to participate??
ulrika jonsson
clearly there to ensure that the glamour model isn't the biggest slapper in the house, which would have been too easy. old leather face saggy boobs wants us to believe that she's only 41. considering she was a grown woman when i was about 5, i don't think this is possible…call me stupid…
tina malone
aka the mouthy mum from shameless. who has allegedly undergone a bit of a makeover and wants to show it off. um…
lucy pinder
oh zzzz….another glamour model who thinks she has something to say by virtue of the fact that she's a brunette and therfore can't be classed as dumb. think again. oh sorry, you can't.
tommy sheridan
is famous for campaigning against the poll tax about 20 years ago. if he plans to start a council tax revolution from behind those four walls i am so in.
verne troyer
it's of course perfectly safe to put a midget in the bb house, what with the show's history of caring, politically correct celebutard contestants. smh although watching him drink drive his way around the house is amusing to say the least.

"Re-Thinking Literature" Conference hosted by The Center for French Civilization and Culture
New York University's Center for French Civilization and Culture will host "Re-Thinking Literature," a conference that will consider the meaning and significance of "literature" today, September 19 through 21 at NYU's Hemmerdinger Hall, Silver Center (100 Washington Square East [between Waverly and Washington Place]).
In the fall of 1966, Johns Hopkins University hosted "The Language of Criticism and the Sciences of Man," a conference that drew some of the top French thinkers of the period—Paul de Man, Roland Barthes, Jean Hyppolite, Jacques Derrida, and Jacques Lacan—in a meeting with other European and American academics. The gathering, with presentations primarily given in French, helped launch a re-definition of literature by establishing a theoretical foundation for the written word.
Nearly 50 years later, NYU aims to update the exchanges that occurred in Baltimore, with an eye toward coming to a new understanding of literature. "Re-Thinking Literature" will bring together American and French philosophers, writers, theoreticians of literature, literary critics, and art critics to examine what, in the 21st Century, is understood when we speak about "literature."
Speakers include: art critic and poet Peter Schjeldahl, poet and author Wayne Kestenbaum, author and playwright Helene Cixous, writer and filmmaker Jean-Philippe Toussaint, art critic and philosopher Boris Groys, Global Distinguished Professor of Russian and Slavic Studies at NYU, and philosopher Avital Ronell, a University Professor in the Humanities at NYU.
The conference will go beyond familiar questions– "What is the situation of the writer today? What does literature mean today?"—and delve into today's post-post-structuralism and what it means in an era when both the publishing industry and the academy are undergoing changes barely imagined in 1966. In doing so, the event will bring together some of today's top literary minds—as well as philosophers, critics, and practitioners of art—for a series of presentations and exchanges that could also mark a re-setting of how we view the written word.
For a complete schedule of conference sessions, click here. The conference is free and open to the public. Entry is on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information, call 212.998.8758.

Artificial Intelligence
The creation of models that mimic thought processes. See: Neural Networks, Fuzzy Logic, and Genetic Algorithms.
Artificial Intelligence
Any computer program that seeks to imitate human thought. Artificial intelligence is useful in making some investment decisions because it eliminates emotional trading and is able to make most calculations more quickly and accurately. As a result it is often used in some more complex investment strategies, notably arbitrage.

Coverage of tonight's Cards and Mets can be heard on Newstalk 97.3 WTIM beginning at 5:35pm.
Flushing, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - St. Louis pitcher Adam Wainwright tossed seven scoreless innings before leaving Tuesday's 3-0 win over the New York Mets with a hyperextended right knee. Wainwright (4-1) was at 79 pitches when he stumbled awkwardly while trying to field a chopper on a play that ended the seventh inning. He gave up just four hits and struck out three. The right-hander was coming off a two-hit shutout last Thursday in an 8-0 win at Washington. "Well I expect to get off to a strong start and finish strong too," said Wainwright. "I've made some good adjustments. I'm more of a complete pitcher than I've ever been in my career so I'm just having fun doing that." Jon Jay went 2-for-4 with two RBI for the Cardinals, who improved to 5-4 on an 11-game road trip. Matt Holliday went 3-for-4 with an RBI and run scored. Dillon Gee (1-1) allowed two runs on six hits over six innings for the Mets, who fell to 2-3 on a 10-game homestand. He had four strikeouts and two walks. The Cardinals got on the board in the fourth. Holliday walked, Matt Adams singled and Yadier Molina singled to load the bases with no outs. Jay followed with a two-run single to center. St. Louis couldn't get anything else in the inning. Holliday robbed Chris Young of a tying homer in the fifth. After Daniel Murphy reached base on a bunt single, Holliday reached over the left-field fence to take a homer away from Young. Holliday added an RBI single in the ninth to make it 3-0. "It seemed early on in that (fourth) inning I got myself into that predicament," said Gee. "It was one of those things were you get a couple of ground balls and they find holes and then all of a sudden you're in a mess there." After Wainwright exited, Kevin Siegrist pitched a perfect eighth and Trevor Rosenthal tossed a scoreless ninth to record his sixth save of the season. Game Notes Wainwright improved to 3-4 lifetime against the Mets ... Molina extended his hitting streak to 13 games ... New York third baseman David Wright had a 12- game hitting streak snapped after going 0-for-4.

Dear Em
Although it is the night of the 12th I am writing this now to make sure that I send my regular daily mail. You see I never can tell what will come up the next minute and the only way to get any thing done (for yourself) in this game is to follow out that old saying "Do it now." I got your card today on which was the picture of Kings Chapel and it took me back to the day we marched and left Boston for Framingham, for we got a great send off by the firemen in front of the City Hall and we past the old land mark you sent a picture of very soon after. But the thing that mosts interests me, the boys and I guess you also, is, How long will it be before, this tough looking (army) that you reviewed that day will pass this historic chapel which hasn't changed in the last hundred or so years, and the (army) that you realy will not know was the same one.
If they do parade us I think it will be well worth seeing, not only for the parade but to see the change that has taken place in us after three months of military training. Now the Fifth, Ninth, and Eighth are composed of the same kind of humanity and we all come from the same old Bay State. Then we are all going to return one no better than the other and none any worse than the next. A battalion of the Ninth was on Evening Parade this evening and say it was great. We are not having hardly any of this, now but I suppose we will get it soon. The Fifth have it every evening, and beleive me it does look good. I just wish you could see one of these field ceremonies. We were out drilling to day with full field equipment and say didn't old Sol beat down on us. Take now for instance it is eight oclock, and as nice and cool as can be. But, between about nine A.M. and four P.M. it is hot.
Let me tell you how we eat, now that we have the cook shack and mess hall ready. There are twelve tables, which are divided as follows. Each corporal takes his squad up for their eats and these eight men sit down to one table assined to them. Now there are nine squads, and that takes up nine tables. (right Roger go to the head of the class.) We sergeants have a table to our selves, the cooks have a table to themselves, and the men that happen to be on detail sit and eat by them selves. The rules are, no profane language, hats off, no spitting on the floor (I hope this is not being read at the supper table) no throwing food around, those making a mess are detailed to clean up the whole mess hall. Well we have a lot of rules, but I can't write them all for I am getting along towards the bottom of this page and I want to write about some thing else.
We have a new cook, (out of the company of coarse) and say he is a beaut. He makes cakes, johnny bread, griddle cakes, puddings, and cold drinks to perfection. By the way he is a baker by trade in some large place in Boston. I don't know which has the most ink on it this whole sheet of paper or my thumb and fore finger. You know I always did take a bath when I wrote with a pen, but I guess Im taking two with the same one this trip.
Tell the Hollands I send my best regards and hope they are all well, Teddy too of coarse. They had a show here the other night and it was pretty good considering. I am sending a programe so you can imagine the caste. We expect to have another one soon "Forty five minutes from Broadway." Well we are a little more than that from Bunker Hill but in the best of spirits.
Dear Lena.
I sent a letter a day before the 12th dated the 13th and I guess you thought it made pretty good time what? Well I am feeling the same as usual and hope to return as soon as we expect to. The whole 2nd Brigade of Mass. had a hike this morning of ten miles with full field equipment and we all did fine. Only two men from our company fell out. Kingsman who is in pretty tough shape was one, and a fellow that was hurt very badly while we were doing that 15 day outpost duty was the other. It was the day after pay day too and most of the boys were down town last night and (well you know)
Tomorrow we are going to have another field inpection, and I am thinking of making up my pack tonight so that I can assist the less experienced men tomorrow. Gee but it was cold last night and hot today.
See you soon

Do iPad users really read more than because they own a tablet? Maybe.
A study that may be one of the first of its kind reveals just where iPad-owners are using their magic Apple tablets, just how they are being used and when.
The study was conducted by the Reynolds Journalism Institute at the University of Missouri, who surveyed 561 iPad users.
The survey found that most Apple tablet owners prefer to use the iPad in the bedroom. Only about 6 percent said they use the iPad in their office or 7 percent at work, only six percent used it in the kitchen.
Unfortunately the survey did not ask how many users surf their tabs while sitting on a toilet. That may have exceeded the 17 percent of respondents who said they use it in the bedroom.
The survey also found that more than half of iPad users like to use their tablets to read the news using apps, while 41 percent read newspapers and another 39 percent read books.
The most frequent time for iPad usage was either in the early mornings or during prime time. About half of the iPad's magazine readers thumb through the digital versions between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m. or between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m.
Survey Says: iPad Users Do It in the Bedroom

The New Captain Pete
More than 20 years of experience has helped to make the New Captain Pete the premier charter on the Northern California coast. Captain Dennis Baxter started his sportfishing career in 1982 as a deckhand aboard the Ginnie C II out of Sausalito. He received his captain's license in 1985 and skippered several Bay Area charter boats after that. In 1988, he purchased the New Captain Pete and operated out of Berkeley before relocating to Pillar Point Harbor near Half Moon Bay - the ideal location for salmon fishing on the beautiful San Mateo County coast!
The New Captain Pete is 53 feet long, capable of cruising at 15 knots, and can carry up to 38 anglers. On-board instruments include a Furuno FVC561 fish finder, a Furuno 36 mile radar, and an Echotec GPS. All trips aboard the New Captain Pete include an experienced and courteous deckhand to assist with your tackle, provide fishing tips, and clean your fish. The onboard amenities include a heated cabin and separate heads for men and women.

Story highlights
- Elmore Leonard returns with his latest in crime fiction, "Raylan"
- The character inspired hit TV show, "Justified"
- The 86-year-old author has been writing bestsellers for 60 years
Elmore Leonard is something of a living legend among lovers of crime fiction. A favorite of millions of readers, a hero to scores of writers, he's been called "America's greatest crime writer." The 86-year old author has been writing bestselling books for sixty years, mostly Westerns and crime novels. Many of them have been turned into hit movies, including "3:10 to Yuma," "Get Shorty" and "Out of Sight."
Now, Leonard returns to one of his favorite characters in his newest book, his 45th novel to be exact, titled simply, "Raylan." That would be U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens. The laid back, Stetson-wearing lawman first appeared in Leonard's novels, "Pronto" and "Riding the Rap" and again in the 2001 short story, "Fire in the Hole" which became the basis for the hit TV show, "Justified," starring Timothy Olyphant as the title character. The actor and the show are winning over fans, critics and Leonard himself. So much so that Leonard has returned to writing about "Raylan."
The book just hit store shelves the same week the show had its third season premiere. Leonard, gracious and unassuming, shows no signs of slowing down at this point in his career.
The author spoke to CNN from his home in Michigan. The following is an edited transcript.
CNN: What brought you back to Raylan?
Leonard: I've always liked him. He's just one of my favorites. Now when I see him on the screen I can't believe it. He acts exactly the way I write him. He's so laid back and he always has the best line in the scene. He's perfect, boy. The way he talks I hear him just the way I heard him when I'm writing it. He's kind of laid back but if you call him on anything, he says, "if I have to pull my gun I will shoot to kill," and he's serious about that but he doesn't have to sound that serious, he just states it.
CNN: Raylan feels like a character from one of your Westerns transplanted into one of your crime novels.
Leonard: He could have been and maybe that's where I got him. The critics see him as a western character because of his hat but his hat wasn't my idea, that was his (Olyphant's) idea. I pictured a businessman's Stetson, a much smaller cowboy hat if you will but one that's kind of worn out and shaped exactly the way he likes it. I think the hat works. I didn't care for it at first but after a couple of episodes I liked the hat.
CNN: The writers on "Justified" all wear wristbands with the initials WWED stamped on them for "What Would Elmore Do?" What do you think about that?
Leonard: Well, I'm flattered. I met all the writers and every one of them had the little plastic bracelet on. I have a picture of all them and they're at their desk and they all have a different book of mine and each one is reading to get my sound. That's very flattering, I'll tell you.
CNN: Do you have an active role with the TV show beyond your inspiration?
Leonard: No and I don't want to know what they're doing because I don't want to interfere with them. While I was writing "Raylan" I would send them pages and I said use what you want, if you don't use any of it OK but if it fits use it. They found some places to use some scenes where they're taking body parts from victims and selling them. They're going to do it one of the episodes this year so that's very gratifying. I like the way they write, boy. Sometimes I think the show is better than my writing.
CNN: Millions love to read your books but who are you a fan of and what do you like to read?
Leonard: One of my favorites is George V. Higgins who wrote, "The Friends of Eddie Coyle." Today I like reading Pete Dexter, Cormac McCarthy, Martin Amis, Margaret Atwood, Ron Hansen and Richard Bissell. He only wrote three or four books but he was a pilot on the Mississippi, piloting a string of barges up and down the river. The way he described his characters and the way they talked, I just loved him and he was funny. That's what I missed in Hemingway because he never showed any sense of humor. I don't know why he was so serious. I still read Hemingway. I still read his short stories because they're so good. He doesn't waste any words.
CNN: You've been writing professionally for sixty years, where do you find your inspiration?
Leonard: It's what I do. If I just sit here what am I going to do? I don't have a trade. I don't teach or anything. I just love to make up characters and gradually build a story around them. There was a photograph in the newspaper of two marshals in front of a courthouse in Miami where some drug dealers were being tried and the woman marshal had a shotgun on her hip, the stock against her hip and the rest of it angled up away from her and she was really good looking. I thought she's a book, she's going to be in my next book and she was. That was Karen Sisco, "Out of Sight."
CNN: Sounds like you still have lot of enthusiasm for your work?
Leonard: Absolutely, that's it. To me writing is the most fun. It's not always fun but finally when you make it come out the way you want it then you can say its fun, boy. Even writing a scene I'll enjoy a particular scene and then several years later I'll happen to read that scene again, not looking for it, I'll just happen to open an older book and read and think oh my god and start laughing. I didn't laugh when I wrote it maybe I smiled, I don't know. I was startled by the scene; I thought why'd I think of that? Why did I put that in there but it seemed to work.
CNN: Your stories read so easily, how did you develop your style?
Leonard: It's got to be re-writing. It takes me at least three handwritten pages to get one clean, typed page with every word in place. The next morning I'll read these pages again and I'll start to make little changes, not much usually I'll just add things. The first time I write it's more spare then when I finally get into it, just add a word maybe add a cigarette or a drink or something like that. I don't want it to sound like writing. I say leave out the parts people tend to skip. Just don't overwrite.
CNN: What's next for you?
Leonard: I'm writing a book right now but I'm only a chapter into it. I'm still thinking of names. For a couple of months I've been thinking of the bad guy's name. I don't know why I can't get it but I will. I do this a lot with names. I'll start with a name and then for some reason he won't talk much or he's older than I pictured him just because of a name I give him. So then I finally get the right name and I can't shut the guy up. This always happens. There's always a character who gives me trouble that way.

Newly named Detroit Emergency Financial Manager Kevyn Orr has an old problem in Maryland.
Orr still has unpaid tax liens.
This past weekend, Orr admitted the mistake was his for not paying taxes on child care for his two children. That mistake led to liens being put on his Maryland home. Orr said the tax bills were taken care of.
On Monday, Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder also said the problem was resolved.
"It was something obviously we would have preferred not happen. It was just an oversight on Kevyn's part. He took care of it as quickly as possible and the way I view it, it's done, corrected. Let's move forward because let's get to the issues that count," Snyder said.
However, Local 4 learned late Monday that of the four liens placed on Orr's home amounting to about $32,000 and going back to 2008, two have been paid. Two others have not.
The governor's office said late Monday that Orr sent a cashier's check to the Montgomery County, Md. court over the weekend to cover the remaining amount of unpaid taxes.
The court might not have acknowledged the payment because of the time it takes to process the payment.

We can create plasmas quite easily, indeed you can buy a plasma cutter and generate it all day long for less than $500. Would it be possible to trap a plasma, say magnetically, and cool it so much that it became a solid/liquid/gas without allowing it to receive electrons? Or would the energy requirement exceed what is possible?
I'm mostly curious about how the nuclei would interact with each other in the absence of electrons as a solid or liquid. Is there some principle that makes such an endeavor impossible?

It is Springtime - Take a Stroll
Last week, I had the opportunity to attend and discuss changes in teaching and learning while at the Chicago Tech Forum and a Google at School Event. Over the course of two days, we discussed changes in how students are learning, including hot topics related to collaboration, shifting time, and open access to resources. I was able to share some of our plans for next year around 1:1 in our schools and reaffirmed that we are headed in the right direction. I then had the chance to put my learning in action yesterday when I taught an earth science class in one of our 1:1 pilot classrooms. It was incredible to build and structure a lesson where the world of resources were at my students' fingertips. I was able to use online formative assessment tools to monitor student progress and pace activities. Getting into a classroom and teaching with the tools was an exciting way to jump into the changes that are coming to our classrooms next year. We should all take the time to step out of our usual roles as administrators, and remind ourselves what it means to be a teacher and a student. We can learn a lot from walking down another person's path and observing their environment and experience. I encourage you to take a stroll to reflect on a different perspective before the year is out.

Helping teachers in Peru
Not all English teachers in Peru have the competency in the English language that is required to teach students. Therefore, the Teacher Training Project aims to help teachers in Peru so that there can be a higher standard of English in schools in addition to bringing new teaching techniques into the classrooms.
In the Peruvian summer holidays (January and February) 110 to 160 teachers give up their holiday to attend the free six weeks of English classes held by the volunteers. Volunteers teach in pairs, preparing lessons with detailed plans and delivering them together.
The Ministry of Education officially supports this project by signing each certificate that is awarded to the teachers after they have completed the six week program. In January 2014, the Regional Director of Education, Edgar Ochoa Pezo, came to visit the project to show his support for the program.
Both volunteers and the teachers benefit from this program: the volunteers leave with a huge confidence boost from teaching in a classroom and a unique experience in Peru that touches the lives of thousands of students; and the teachers leave the course with improved English, new classroom techniques and knowledge that they can impart on their students.
The final beneficiaries are the young students who will be taught by teachers with a greater knowledge of the English language. This subject is particularly important as the region is dominated by tourism.

Vegan Presence August Review
GUYYYYYSSSSS, guess what! I got to curate September's Vegan Presence package! (Note, the photo above is of this month's goodies, not next month's ← which is the one I curated). I'm super duper crazy excited because it contains some of my all-time fave vegan things. Make sure to order yours before they sell out (trial package is $23, or you can order 3 months for $60). In the meantime, check out the sa-weet ish I got in August's Vegan Presence goodie box:

Two honkin' chocolate-y cookies… sugar fiends rejoice!
As always, all the VP packaging is eco-friendly, sustainable, recyclable, biodegradable, and/or reusable. ← SO super cool!

No Reason to Fear a Housing Bubble
Look for recent price spikes to ease as new construction picks up and more homes come on the market.
Worries that there's an out-of-control housing price run-up in the works are overblown. There are huge differences between what's happening now and the crises of last decade, and there's little reason to see immediate danger even in the most torrid of today's real estate markets.
The current heat in the housing market is a short-term phenomenon. There has been a noticeable pickup in demand. The slowly improving economy and better job growth mean more would-be homeowners in the market, while cash-paying investors continue to comb listings for properties they can rent for a few years before selling at a profit. For both groups, low interest rates are also alluring.
But supply is constrained, with many homes still stuck in the foreclosure process plus droves of owners who managed to stay current on mortgage payments, but whose homes aren't worth what they owe on them, reluctant to sell at a loss. And new-home construction is only slowly recovering; it's still running at just half the pre-boom level.
As supply and demand come into better balance, the pace of price hikes will ease. Figure that on average, nationwide, the increase in 2014 will be about 4% or so, roughly half the 8.5% increase likely to be racked up in this unusual year. After that, look for a gradual return to the historical norm — average home values rising by about one percentage point more than the inflation rate each year.
Meanwhile, a closer look at the situation today in cities around the country is revealing. Yes, some have experienced strong, even extreme price hikes. But consider the starting point. Existing homes in Las Vegas and Phoenix, up 22% from early 2012 to early 2013, are still more than 40% below those cities' peak housing prices. In San Francisco, L.A., Atlanta, Detroit and other metro areas experiencing strong appreciation, home values remain well below the high points of last decade.
Only a few major metro areas are at or close to previous peaks in prices. Denver, for example, is there, but the Mile High City never experienced the extremes of the bubble and bust. San Jose, Calif., the heart of Silicon Valley, is 5% off its high.
What's more, homes, on the whole, remain affordable. Only 13% of median family income is typically being chewed up by mortgage payments. Compare that with 24% in 2006. Interest rates are likely to stay low for some time, edging toward 4% by January, then climbing by no more than a percentage point or so in 2014. So homeownership won't zoom out of reach. Even after the Federal Reserve decides to put an end to its easy-money policy, spurring inflation expectations and higher long-term rates, it will do so gradually. There will be a slow adjustment to the housing market rather than a shock.
Even more important: Only truly creditworthy borrowers are getting loans. The no-documentation, interest-only loans that made it easy for anyone to buy in the 2000s, facilitating a home-buying frenzy across the socio-economic spectrum, have entirely disappeared. This time, lenders are keeping a tight rein on credit.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
It seems like Tim McGraw has always been good to the military. And now I think I understand why. He grew up in a family filled with soldiers, according to People magazine, and so they all talked about the military service "with reverence." In fact, he says he considered enlisting himself before he started pursuing music seriously. That was right around the same time that McGraw's sister, Tracey, joined the Army. "We've talked about how lonely she got, and that's something that's stuck with me when I've met military families — how important the contact they have from home is," McGraw said. Tracey Jewell is a veteran of Desert Storm, and McGraw's uncle John Dagostino is a Vietnam veteran. The picture of the three of them in the magazine is a moving reminder to celebrate Veterans Day with family, veterans or — if you're honored enough to have veterans in the family like McGraw does — then both.
