Why You Should Be Cautious With The Social Media
In my last post, I gave 10 reasons I gave thumbs up for the social media. In it I did note that "…the social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Badoo, Google+, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Google+, Instagram, StumbleUpon, Reddit, YouTube, have their bad and very ugly sides…."
In a bid to a balanced job, I would be sharing with you some ugly sides of the social media. Please read on….
1. Source of death. Many people have lost their life from activities connected to the social media. Some have been traced to their homes (as revealed by the victims), some had arranged meetings with strangers without any security precautions, while others have madly and unreasonably fallen in love with strangers which led to their untimely death. Be cautious.
2. Many marriages and relationships have been ruined. Many marriages and relationships which have existed for a very long time have been ruined after "friendships" made via the social media. Some have even been sealed up in a divorce. It happens everyday. Be cautious.
3. Loss of valuable time. Some people have have found the social media to be highly irresistible. A s a result, so much time is spent unproductively behind the screen. Did you notice that most students spend more time on phones than with their studies? The aftermath is not far-fetched such as nose-diving academic performance, loss of concentration in class, delayed or non submission of assignments and much more. So, be cautious.
4. Negative Addiction. Another negative effect of the social media is the tendency to become addicted…..as if a spirit is attached to it 🙂 A woman once said she cannot buy her children a smartphone until they are through with secondary school. The mistake here is that addiction to social media cuts across people of all ages. In very annoying instances, you see a user actually using the phone or tablet on the highway, obviously oblivious of where they were. This is very common among the ladies 🙂 Be cautious.
5. Source of fraud. Everyday people lose lots of money to fraudsters on the social media. People use all sorts of means to extort money from unsuspecting users. Sometimes a very pretty lady might actually be a man. In some cases men use ladies to exhort money from other men who find it hard to control themselves when they see pretty ladies 🙂 So, be cautious.
6. Source of malware. Some bad guys post links that lead to the download of malware such as viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and spyware, to your devices or computers. Suck links look real or normal, but actually lead to something really bad. So, be cautious.

7. Source of sexual immorality. On the internet, nudity is on the wide spread. In fact, as a Blogger, I noticed that Bloggers who do nudity usually have more traffic. Well, same goes for the social media. Nudity is everywhere. For parents who are trying to bring up their children in a decent and God-fearing way, the social media is surely going to ruin your efforts. Even where it is not outright porn, you still see "friends" who post or share scaled down versions of porn to gaze at 🙂 So, be cautious.
8. Costs money. I cannot write on the negative side of the social media without mentioning the financial implications. Especially when the user has crossed to the addiction level, the spending on internet connection could be worth the worry. So, be cautious.
9. Privacy Issues. Due to the viral nature of the internet, anything you post on any social platform becomes available for public consumption. A lot of people are not comfortable with this. But some post everything….I mean everything. My advice? Always be mindful of the fact that anything you post online travels very far. So, only post what you do not mind everyone seeing.
I hope my post opened up some previously ignored areas of the social media?
Please share the post to enlighten someone out there. Tanks 🙂

I have been searching for the family of Ted Peverelli. He served time in the army in the 1930's, was stationed in Hawaii and Arizona. Wife's name was Ila, possibly Halverson? She was from the north or midwest. She died in about 1946. They had no children, to my knowledge, but presented me with an antique plate upon my birth, almost exactly 50 years ago, Ted remarried and my family lost touch.
When he lived in SF, he lived at 1634 Fell St. Any information would be appreciated as the plate is rather unusual and I have not been able to find another like it anywhere.

HP TouchSmart 600 Review
By October 21, 2009reviewed
HP has more experience than most PC makers with touch-screen all-in-one PCs. And that experience shows in the TouchSmart 600. Its touch software is better than any similar software we've seen from other PC makers. Plus, several hardware additions, including a Blu-ray drive, plus video inputs that allow the system's 23-inch 1080p screen to double as an HDTV for console gaming, are very welcome additions. This TouchSmart ($1,600 in our test configuration) offers the best touch-screen desktop experience we've seen so far, and it's a very good all-around entertainment PC. Still, we wish it were less expensive, or at least had more-powerful core components for the asking price.
The components of the TouchSmart we tested include an Intel Core 2 Duo P7450 processor, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, a 750GB hard drive, and Nvidia GeForce GT230M graphics. While those specs are more than enough to handle everyday PC tasks and HD-video playback from the slot-loading Blu-ray drive, the system did become momentarily unresponsive at times when swiping between the TouchSmart's touch apps. While the similarly sized touch-screen Gateway One ZX6810-01 all-in-one PC doesn't ship with touch software as enticing as the TouchSmart's (which includes Netflix, Hulu, and Rhapsody-and-Pandora-powered programs), its hardware is much more powerful, including a quad-core CPU, 8GB of RAM, a 1TB hard drive, a speedy 64GB solid-state drive for Windows 7, and more powerful ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics. And though the Gateway lacks a Blu-ray drive, it also sells for $1,399, $200 less than the TouchSmart we tested, despite better components across the board. So if you're looking for a powerful all-in-one PC and don't think you'll use the touch screen all that much, the Gateway system is clearly a better buy.
Touch, though, is where this PC's real strength lies. The TouchSmart's touch software is definitely the best we've seen, although that isn't saying a whole lot. Despite the recent rash of touch-enabled all-in-one PCs, we've rarely felt the need to write much about any of these systems' pre-installed touch software. Beyond the obligatory gimmicky photo-flicking image app (an iteration of which is also found on the TouchSmart), most of these machines don't have any software that would compel us to use the touch screen much once the novelty factor wears off.
The TouchSmart is a different story—though still a flawed one. HP's software includes a Hulu app for streaming TV, and a wonderfully simple Netflix app for flipping through your movie queue and tapping for instant streaming playback. You also get a music program that does a decent job of integrating Rhapsody and Pandora content with your own music library. There's also a kitchen app, Recipe Box; it has a built-in browser that allows you to grab recipes from other sites and import them into HP's program with the press of a button.
All that sounds great, and some of it is, but there's still plenty of room for improvement. The Hulu app was confusing and difficult to navigate, due in part to a menu system that forces you to continually tap at the bottom of the screen to advance lists of content (no accelerated flick-scrolling here at all). And, after a couple of hours using the TouchSmart, the Hulu app downloaded an update that stuck the software in an update loop, so we couldn't test it anymore. But with our limited time with it, the Hulu app left us with the feeling that if we had this system in our home, we'd just use the Hulu.com Web site instead, unless the software was significantly improved in an update.
The kitchen-centric Recipe Box, while it does a good job of pulling in recipes from popular sites, suffers from unreliable voice controls, making it far less useful when mixing sticky ingredients that would keep you from wanting to touch the screen. If the TouchSmart had problems recognizing our voice commands in our quiet labs, we can't see how it will perform any better in a typical kitchen, especially with other voices and television or music playing in background.
As previously stated, the Netflix program is simple and performs well. Once you log in with your account settings, flipping through your online queue and tapping on content to initiate streaming was as simple and enjoyable as it sounds. The same can also be said for the music program.
So at least half of the bundled software is as good as we'd hoped; perhaps Hulu and Recipe Box can be improved with future free updates. What's more of problem is the TouchSmart's hardware, which we assume is what caused the touch software periodically to become unresponsive for a few seconds at a time when we scrolled through apps with a finger.
We realize that realistically, most potential TouchSmart buyers aren't going to be too interested in hard-core benchmark-test results, so long as the system performs well enough at the entertainment-centric and PC-productivity tasks it was designed for. And apart from the minor touch hiccups, the TouchSmart 600 handles these tasks well enough.
But both on paper and in testing, the Gateway One ZX6810-01 comes across as a much more capable PC. In fact, the HP TouchSmart 600's scores in our CPU-centric tests, including Cinebench 10 (4,704) and Windows Media Encoder 9 (6 minutes and 27 seconds) were both just a little more than half of what the less-expensive Gateway system offered up. Our PCMark Vantage test, which measures system-wide performance, backed up those numbers—the TouchSmart scored 4,101 versus the Gateway's 8,076.
In our gaming-performance comparisons, the TouchSmart didn't fare much better against the Gateway, though it does have a little gaming pep. We tested both systems with our standard test title, Company of Heroes. The TouchSmart's GeForce GT230M graphics helped it to turn in playable frame rates of 40.8 frames per second (fps) under DirectX 9 and 30.4fps under DirectX 10, with most of the graphics options dialed to high settings—but that was at a resolution of only 1,024x768. Under DirectX 9, cranking up the resolution to 1,280x1,024, and later, to the screen's native resolution of 1,920x1,080, yielded frame rates of 26.4fps and 19.7fps, respectively. (The Gateway One hit 67.8fps and 38fps on the same tests at the same resolutions.) Clearly, while the TouchSmart 600 is a better gaming PC than many all-in-ones we've seen, the Gateway One, with its ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics, is more capable here as well.
No doubt, the TouchSmart's specs lag behind those of Gateway's less expensive all-in-one, but the Gateway One lacks a Blu-ray drive, and it comes with a generic Media Center remote that pales in comparison to the remote this system ships with. Also a huge plus for the HP: The company has added RCA and HDMI-in jacks to the left side of the PC, along with a dedicated input-switching button, which will allow customers to connect a gaming console or other video device to make double or triple use of the 23-inch, full-HD screen. All that, along with the media-centric touch software, helps make the TouchSmart a much better media PC than the Gateway One, even if the Gateway is much more powerful. (The video inputs alone make the TouchSmart a better choice as a dorm PC.) And some nice minor touches, such as a Webcam that adjusts up and down, a pivot point on the stand that facilitates swiveling the PC, and a below-screen task light that you can configure to shine in any color shade you choose, help the TouchSmart pull substantially ahead in the style department.
The TouchSmart 600's touch-based software, despite our issues with it, is still more robust and genuinely useful, by far, than the software found on other touch-enabled PCs we've seen. And we're hopeful that free updates will improve the software down the line. Still, those familiar with touch interfaces on the Apple iPhone or the Microsoft Zune HD shouldn't expect the same kind of fluid experience with this machine (or any touch PC we've seen so far). There's no finger-flick-accelerated scrolling to be found on the TouchSmart. And apart from multi-touch pinching and flipping to resize photos, you'll be doing far more large, sweeping arm movements than simple finger flicks to get around the touch interface. But that being said, it's an interface you might actually use—more than we can say for the touch interfaces of all other so-equipped desktops we've seen.
Some other touch-screen all-in-one computers offer similar or better PC performance for less, but if the touch experience is more important to you than maximum performance for your money or serious gaming , the TouchSmart 600 is the clear choice. It's currently the best-designed touch PC you can buy. But take note: Seemingly every major PC maker (apart from Apple—so far) is now crowding into the touch space. So the TouchSmart's next iteration will need to be a lot better, if HP plans to stay on top.

Phil Jaques took his tally of first-class runs for the season to 840 by scoring 109 for Northamptonshire against Durham in their Frizzell County Championship Division Two clash at The Riverside.
Replying to 327, the visitors came largely unscathed through four short spells from Shoaib Akhtar to close on 320 for eight.
Durham added only two to their overnight total before last man Nicky Hatch was bowled by Damien Wright then opened the bowling with Shoaib. While the Pakistani bowled only four of the 30 overs before lunch, Hatch sent down 10 and had Mark Powell lbw. He also had two big appeals against Mike Hussey turned down as the Australian left-handed duo put on 92 for the second wicket.
Extracting rare bounce from a pitch which seemed to have lost its life, Shoaib found the shoulder of Hussey's bat to have him caught by wicketkeeper Phil Mustard in the first over after lunch.
His next over, however, went for 12 runs, and he was lucky to pick up a second wicket in his third spell when Graeme Swann pulled a catch straight to Nicky Peng at square leg.
Durham relied on off-spinner Nicky Phillips to bowl 33 overs unchanged.
David Sales got off the mark with an edged four off Liam Plunkett, but then hit six more meaty boundaries in racing to 33 off 38 balls before carelessly driving Hatch to mid-off.
Jaques continued to look secure until he almost went on 97, a ball from Shoaib lobbing off the shoulder of the bat only to fall short of Gary Pratt, racing in from backward point.
Jaques looked keen to build on his 152-ball century, which included 14 fours, but from the second ball after tea Peng dived forward at silly mid-off to hold a bat-pad catch off Phillips.
At 232 for six Durham had hopes of a healthy lead, but Toby Bailey and Wright put on 61 before the latter drove to mid-on.
When Plunkett took the new ball Bailey fell for 39, edging to first slip.

The "tax wedge" is the percentage of total labor costs that never reaches the employee's wallet but goes straight into the coffers of the state. As such, it's a good approximation for much of what's wrong with Europe's economy, says Peer Steinbrueck, German Minister of Finance.
- The average tax wedge last year for a single employee without children in an Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development country was 37.5 percent, compared with 28.9 percent in the United States.
- In the 15 countries that formed the European Union (EU) before the recent enlargements, the tax wedge was a whopping 42.6 percent.
- In France, Germany and Belgium, the tax wedge is 50.2 percent, 52.5 percent and 55.4 percent, respectively.
- The average employee in these three countries takes home less than half of what it costs to employ him; most of the money goes to the state through income and payroll taxes.
Yet when EU finance ministers met this week and railed against the rising gap between wages and company profits, Europe's enormous tax wedge didn't merit a mention. Corporate greed -- not government greed -- was blamed for the discrepancy.
Calling on industry to divide profits more "fairly" is like calling for world peace: It's always popular but never accomplishes very much, says Steinbrueck. Blaming big business, though, helps governments to distract voters from their own responsibility for meager paychecks. Europe's politicians could do more to raise take-home pay if they would keep their eyes on the tax wedge, and work on reducing government's share of workers' wages.

The 1879 opera Eugene Onegin, by Tchaikovsky, based on the story, is perhaps the version that most people are familiar with. There are many recordings of the score, and it is one of the most commonly performed operas in the world.
John Cranko choreographed a three-act ballet using Tchaikovsky's music in an arrangement by Kurt-Heinz Stolze. However, Stolze did not use any music from Tchaikovsky's opera of the same name. Instead, he orchestrated some little-known piano works by Tchaikovsky such as The Seasons, along with themes from the opera Cherevichki[21] and the latter part of the symphonic fantasia Francesca da Rimini.[22]
Choreographer Boris Eifman staged modern rendition of Eugene Onegin as a ballet taking place in modern Moscow. Performed by Eifman Ballet of St. Petersburg, music by Alexander Sitkovetsky, with excerpts from Tchaikovsky opera "Eugene Onegin".[23][24]
Most recently Lera Auerbach created a ballet score titled "Tatiana" with libretto by John Neumeier for his choreographic interpretation and staging of Alexander Pushkin's Eugene Onegin for a co-production by the Hamburg State Opera and the Stanislavski and Nemirovich-Danchenko Moscow Academic Music Theatre in Moscow.[25]
Incidental music
A staged version was adapted by Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky and slated for production in the Soviet Union in 1936, directed by Alexander Tairov and with incidental music by Sergei Prokofiev as part of the centennial celebration of Pushkin's death. However, due to threats of Stalinist repercussion for artistic liberties taken during the production, and artistic differences between Tairov and Krzhizhanovsky, rehearsals were abandoned and the production was never put on.[26]
Christopher Webber's play Tatyana was written for Nottingham Playhouse in 1989. It successfully combines spoken dialogue and narration from the book, with music arranged from Tchaikovsky's operatic score, and incorporates some striking theatrical sequences inspired by Tatyana's dreams in the original. The title role was played by Josie Lawrence, and the director was Pip Broughton.
- In 1911, the first screen version of the novel was filmed: the Russian silent film "Yevgeni Onegin" ("Eugene Onegin"), directed by Vasili Goncharov and starring Arseniy Bibikov, Petr Birjukov and Pyotr Chardynin.
- In 1919 in Germany was produced a silent film "Eugen Onegin", based on the novel. The film was directed by Alfred Halm, starring Frederic Zelnik as Onegin.
- In 1958 Lenfilm produced a TV film "Eugene Onegin", which was, actually, not a screen version of the novel, but a screen version of the opera "Eugene Onegin" by Pyotr Tchaikovsky. The film was directed by Roman Tikhomirov and starred Vadim Medvedev as Onegin, Ariadna Shengelaya as Tatyana and Igor Ozerov as Lensky. The principal solo parts were performed by notable opera singers of the Bolshoi Theatre. The film was well received by critics and viewers.
- In 1972 Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen (ZDF) produced a music film "Eugen Onegin"
- In 1988, Decca/Channel 4 produced a film adaptation of Tchaikovsky's opera, directed by Petr Weigl. Sir Georg Solti acted as the conductor, while the cast featured Michal Dočolomanský as Onegin and Magdaléna Vášáryová as Tatyana. One major difference from the novel is the duel: Onegin is presented as deliberately shooting to hit and is unrepentant at the end.
- In 1994 was produced the TV film Yevgeny Onyegin, directed by Humphrey Burton, starring Wojtek Drabowicz as Onyegin.
- The 1999 film, "Onegin", is an English adaptation of Pushkin's work, directed by Martha Fiennes, starring Ralph Fiennes as Onegin, Liv Tyler as Tatiana, and Toby Stephens as Lensky. The film compresses the events of the novel somewhat: for example, the Naming Day celebrations take place on the same day as Onegin's speech to Tatiana. The 1999 film, much like the 1988 one, also gives the impression that during the duel sequence Onegin deliberately shoots to kill. This screen version was also criticized for a number of mistakes and inconsistencies.
In 2012 Stephen Fry has recorded an audiobook of the novel in the translation by James E. Falen.

Philippine Holidays 2012 | Official Regular Holidays and Special Non-Working Days | Proclamation No. 295
The official list of Philippine holidays, regular holidays and special non-working days, for 2012 was declared by Malacanang through Proclamation No. 295, series of 2011.
The early announcement of holidays in the Philippines will give the opportunity for Filipinos to lay down their plans for next year. Proclamation no. 295 will also enable businesses and educational institutions to plot their work schedule and school calendar earlier. The early release of the 2012 Philippine Holidays will also give enough time for those who are planning to have a long vacation.

Hello!I'm converting chrome extension to WebExtension. I have everything working except XMLHttpRequest. FF is not sending cookies or referrer (same domain). I'm guessing the cause is Xray? And is this the reason that relative urls for XMLHttpRequest fails because FF considers the content script to be its own domain?
I can work around this by writing a script to the page with createElement("script"), append to head and using a href="javascript:runThisFunction();" on a link. I know this is not the way it should be done. I have looked at this page. Does this apply in my case?
I'm in need of some guidance on the proper way to implement XMLHttpRequest with credentials for same domain requests. For now, I'm stuck. I'll provide code on request.Thanks in advance for any help given!
NOTE: My usage of "same domain" means sending a request to the same domain/page that the content script is loaded. If that wasn't already clear...
Whoa this is interesting.
Are you doing the XHR from inside a content script on a page?
Or are you doing the XHR from the background page?
Either way I would expect the cookies to be there. I haven't got to the XHR steps of my addon, does anyone know if cookies are available to XHR from background script, from content script? Does it need special permission in manifest.json?
(knowing when to give permission, and with what entry in the manifest, is a hard thing to find out, the only way I figure out is when I hit an unexpected block, I troubleshoot randomly and it usually ends up with some new key in the manifest)
Thanks for the interest noitidart. XHR from a content script. No background script loaded.I too wonder if it is permission or manifest related. For the heck of it, I put "webNavigation" and "webRequest" in permissions with no joy. The "no cookie" is a killer for me, since my addon is site specific and without cookies, the site returns the login page (assumes logged out). I really hope someone has some info about this...
Try putting in <all_urls> it has fixed a lot of my problems. No idea why.
Sure, I'll try.No joy with <all_urls> set for content scripts and also permissions...
Yes, you get the extension's XMLHttpRequest and fetch within a content script. To get the one from the page, use window.wrappedJSObject.XMLHttpRequest, which then returns the version from the page, since wrappedJSObject waives the wrappers.
Thank you freaktechnik, for some hope!Sadly, wrapping is new to me and I am quite cloudy regarding its usage. I tried many failed variations. The following is the code I'm using. All the commented lines are my failed attempts. The first commented line resulted in "Error: Permission denied to access object". I did not record the errors for the other lines. I just know they did not work.
function loadXMLDoc(url, isXML, cfunc) {
console.log("Sending Request to "+url);
http=new XMLHttpRequest();
// http=new window.wrappedJSObject.XMLHttpRequest();
// http=window.wrappedJSObject.new XMLHttpRequest();
// http=window.wrappedJSObject(new XMLHttpRequest());
// http=new content.wrappedJSObject.XMLHttpRequest();
// var htt=new XMLHttpRequest();
// http=content.wrappedJSObject.htt;
// http=content.wrappedJSObject.(new XMLHttpRequest());
// http=new XMLHttpRequest().wrappedJSObject;
// http=window.wrappedJSObject;
// http=window.wrappedJSObject.http;
http.open("GET", url, true);
http.withCredentials = true;
Will you please expand a bit on what I need to do? Or point me to a good reference webpage? It really bothers me that I just "don't get it"...
As far as I understand it should be
const http = new XPCNativeWrapper(window.wrappedJSObject.XMLHttpRequest)();
Thank you! Well, it didn't work as posted, but the following DID work!Cookies and referrer sent confirmed.
http = XPCNativeWrapper(new window.wrappedJSObject.XMLHttpRequest());
I will research this some more.Thank you so much for the help!
Is this XPCNativeWrapper thing same in Google Chrome and other browsers? How would we use cookies there? Can background script use cookies?
I don't have any issues with normal XHR in Chrome. It sends cookies noproblem. It is only in FF that I need to wrap. Since I use the same contentscript for both browsers, I just simply grab the correct object as needed...
function getXMLHttp(){
try {
return XPCNativeWrapper(new window.wrappedJSObject.XMLHttpRequest());
return new XMLHttpRequest();
I'm sure there is a better method than try/catch but for now, this worksperfectly and the same code works in Chrome and FF.
I'm told setting https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest/withCredentials could also solve your issue, as your request is treated as Cross-Origin and thus the property will dedault to false. This should work without the unwrapping & rewrapping.
Thank you. It's a good idea, but it does not work.I had already set withCredentials to true in all my previous testing. EDIT: See my failed code above.No cookies or referrer were sent until I wrapped it (thanks to you).
EDIT:Unwrapped: Relative URLs would fail as "invalid" string. Request not sent.Unwrapped: Full URL would send, but no cookie or referrer sent (withCredentials=true ).Wrapped: Everything normal...
You can avoid this by enabling 3rd-party cookies. Firefox disabled this by default many releases ago, and it broke many extensions that made XHR requests back to the site where the extension was running. I complained long ago, and said that extensions should be exempt from 3rd-party-cookie blocking, but apparently they decided not to do that.
Thanks, that is quite interesting... I did a quick test and you are correct. I enabled third-party cookies in FF and requests are sent correctly. But... relative URLs did not work. It must be the full URL.
I have always disabled third party cookies for as long as I can remember. I am sure I am not the only one... And if FF now disables third-party cookies by default, this means even more users that I am concerned about. Wrapping is working well for me. And I don't need to tell users to enable third-party cookies in order for the extension to work. I'm quite sure you weren't suggesting that. lol
Regardless, this is interesting info and good to know. I appreciate it. Would you happen to have links to any conversations about your complaint?
Here's a bug SubDevo - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1322113
so, did you manage to do this? I'm also stuck on this issue and i'd like to know
Yes. In my add-on, I'm using what I posted earlier.
Same code for FF and Chrome version.
I just grab the correct object (for chrome or firefox) by calling the above function and use in place of XMLHttpRequest.
For example:
var http=getXMLHttp();
http.open("GET", url, true);

PORT BOLIVAR — Authorities have identified two Houston women who were killed and left near a Dumpster in Port Bolivar.
The bodies of Britney Cosby, 24, and Crystal Jackson, 24, were fully clothed but otherwise uncovered when they were found outside the Fishermans Cove Food Mart in the 700 block of state Highway 87 at about 7:45 a.m. Friday, Sheriff Henry Trochesset said.
Autopsies were scheduled for today, but it appeared the women died from blunt trauma, Sheriff Henry Trochesset said.
A driver making a delivery to the store was taking the trash out to the Dumpster when he found the two bodies, Trochesset said.
Detectives investigating the double homicide suspect that the women were killed elsewhere before their bodies were driven to Port Bolivar and dropped off, he said.
The store is a little more than a mile away from the Galveston-Bolivar Ferry landing, and there is a "strong possibility" that the women were killed somewhere off the peninsula, Trochesset said.
There was one security camera operating near the store, and investigators are examining the tape, Trochesset said.
The sheriff's office is requesting public assistance to help locate a vehicle owned by one of the women, a silver 2006 Kia Sorento with gray trim.
The vehicle, which the sheriff's office said should have unknown paper tags, has been reported as stolen.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Galveston County Sheriff's Office tip line at 866-248-8477.

Spokane Valley to do a full city plow
The city of Spokane Valley announced early this morning (really early this morning) that they were going to start a full city plow at 6 a.m. today. Plowing every street in the city usually takes two days, unless it snows a lot more and crews have to start over. The side streets are in terrible shape and I've heard people have been getting stuck in some areas. The city is asking people to park off the street if possible so plows have a clear shot.

Most of my disposable income goes towards movies. Over the past three years I've kept a running list of movies I'm interested in seeing, want to see again, and want to own. These movies range from Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright's Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy to Mark Wahlberg thrillers like Shooter and Broken City and on to independent films like Zach Braff's Kickstarter-funded Wish I Was Here. Along the way I found myself watching movies that I was interested in because of the concept or lead cast members, but the majority of my enjoyment came from Sam Rockwell's performances, who I recognized from Iron Man 2. He has since become one of my all time favorite actors, and here's why.
1) Iron Man 2: He's the villain you love to hate
Rockwell has been acting since the 80s, playing a small part in an episode of The Equalizer and playing Randy in Victor Salva's horror flick Clownhouse. His career gained momentum over the next decade, with roles including a thug in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990), guest spots in NYPD Blue and Law and Order, and eventually he began to appear in bigger movies, playing "Wild Bill" Wharton in The Green Mile and Eric Knox in Charlie's Angels (2000). The role most of us recognize him from is that of Justin Hammer, cocky and conniving weapons manufacturer and rival of Tony Stark in Iron Man 2. Rockwell blends power and wealth together with ruthlessness perfectly in this vein, creating a persona such that we despise the character and praise the actor. In an interview during the shooting of The Green Mile, Rockwell explains his pursuit of unlikable characters: "I like that dark stuff. I think heroes should be flawed. There's a bit of self-loathing in there, and a bit of anger... But after this, I've really got to play some lawyers, or a British aristocrat, or they'll put a label on me." I wholeheartedly enjoy Rockwell's antagonist roles, but I'm sure I would enjoy him in nearly any role, which brings me to my next point.
2) Seven Psychopaths: He can play any character
From powerful war monger Justin Hammer to easy living water park manager Owen to oddball actor Billy, Rockwell does it all, and he does it well. I often find myself watching a movie and the mannerisms of the actor break through the character, making said actor easily recognizable and cracking the illusion of the story. Yet I've seen Rockwell play an Old West barman, a Hollywood agent and a blue collar astronaut, and every time he is a different man, a different person. The way he portrays each character is different from the others, and I find myself believing wholeheartedly in Owen, in Billy, in the story itself. His acting works as a pillar, reinforcing the people around him. Each of his performances is spectacular, which makes a few stand out even more.
3) The Way Way Back: His rare "good guy" roles
In the midst of all the conniving, deranged, sleazeball characters, my two favorite Rockwell performances are as Owen in the coming-of-age drama The Way Way Back and Sam Bell in sci-fi drama Moon. Getting to see Rockwell portray the happy-go-lucky Owen is delightful, and watching Sam Bell living on the moon with his houseplants and a robot voiced by Kevin Spacey is as well. Not used to watching Rockwell display kindness or help, Owen's support of protagonist Duncan (played by Liam James) was that much more believable. Likewise the life of Sam Bell is interesting in and of the fact that for much of the film, Rockwell has no one to react to or play off of but himself, and he does so magnificently. His portrayal of mild-mannered Doc in Cowboys and Aliens is enjoyable, as well as his Zaphod Beeblebrox in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, but in my book nothing compares to Owen or Sam.
4) Moon: He plays ping pong against himself
This scene is arguably my favorite scene in any movie. Ever.
What's your favorite Rockwell performance? Sound off in the comments if you don't see yours in the poll!

The latest business news, reviews, features and whitepapers
Putting lots of power into a small PC case isn't easy, but Alienware has packed the X51 with enough grunt to run the latest games at high resolution and detail levels. Like most Alienware systems, its lighting system is customisable through software and its case is interesting to look at. Go for it if you're a gamer who's been hanging out for a small, yet powerful pre-built desktop PC.
The Alienware X51 is a slim tower PC that flies under the radar compared to most gaming PCs on the market — including Alienware's own Aurora machines. It's designed to appeal to users who want something simple and effective, and for users who don't really want to upgrade or expand their system. Pricing for the X51 starts at $1299 for a configuration that includes an Intel Core i5-2320 CPU and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 555 graphics adapter, and goes up to $1699 for the configuration we are reviewing here. That's without a monitor.
Generally, when a machine is as small as the Alienware X51 (it's around 350mm tall, 100mm thick and 320mm deep) it's usually a business machine that doesn't have a lot of graphics grunt. However, Alienware has made sure that this machine can play the latest games on the market, many of them in Full HD and with high image detail enabled. It's not the fastest system that's available, but it's no slouch either and we think that any gamer who doesn't want an expensive gaming notebook or a bulky, space-hogging desktop PC, will appreciate it. It's also more convenient to take to a LAN party than a regular mid-sized desktop.
The Intel Core i5-2320 CPU is joined by 8GB of DDR3 SDRAM, a 1TB, 7200rpm hard drive, and an OEM-only NVIDIA GeForce GTX 555 graphics adapter. In our Blender 3D rendering test, the machine recorded a highly respectable time of 17sec; in our iTunes MP3 encoding test it recorded 43sec, which was an expected time. There is no question it's a fast machine that's suitable for everyday tasks, as well as hefty multi-tasking and even for tougher jobs such as video editing and rendering. Its hard drive also proved to be very zippy, notching up a read rate of 120 megabytes per second (MBps) in CrystalDiskMark, along with a write rate of 117MBps. In our own file copy tests, it averaged 57.55MBps, which is a fine result.
For gaming, the GeForce GTX 555 adapter represents the entry point for high-end GTX-based adapters and it's not an adapter you can go out and buy in the stores; it's an OEM-only adapter that has lower memory bandwidth than the GeForce GTX 550 Ti adapter, but more CUDA cores and a slightly higher texture fill rate. It put up a respectable score of 21846 in 3DMark06 and also proved that it can handle recent games with lot of their eye-candy enabled. Battlefield 3 ran with a 31 frames per second (fps) average at a resolution of 1920x1200 and with high image detail enabled. F.E.A.R 2 ran at 60fps at 1920x1200 and with high image detail enabled.
Indeed, the X51 is one of the smallest desktop PCs you can buy that also contains a potent configuration for gaming. If you're a do-it-yourself type, you will be able to build a machine with similar grunt for less money. The main configuration (with a GeForce GTX 550 Ti) would rack up a bill of around $750 if you were to procure the parts yourself. Then you'd have to pony up some cash for a decent motherboard, case and power supply, not to mention a Blu-ray/DVD burner and perhaps a new set of input peripherals, and a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium.
All that could bring the do-it-yourself total to around $1200-$1300 depending on the motherboard and case you choose. The chances are you might not be able to find a case as trim and as interesting to look at as the Alienware's though. And then you have to factor in the time to build it and install all the software. Basically, if you're a do-it-yourself person, you could build something as good (or better) than this PC in your own time. If you don't want the hassle of figuring out a configuration, sourcing all the parts and putting it together yourself, then the X51 is worth it.
Be aware though that this PC isn't one that can be easily upgraded. The components are tightly packed in the case and there is no space for any internal expansion. If you want to add a new drive, for example, you'll have to go for network attached storage or USB drives. There are six USB ports on the rear (two of them are USB 3.0) and another two on the front of the case. The front also has microphone and headphone ports, while there are more audio ports at the back (both analogue and digital), in addition to Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI and DVI ports.
The X51 without its side panel and graphics adapter.
If you must open up the X51, you can do so by removing one screw and sliding the side panel off. It will expose the CPU and memory, but the hard drive will be hidden under the double-thickness graphics adapter, which is installed in a riser card and placed parallel to the micro motherboard. You will need to remove the graphics riser to get to the hard drive and it can be a little tricky.
The graphics adapter on its riser card.
A fan is present at the front of the system, which sucks air from the front vent and pushes it over the hard drive towards the rear of the case. Along with the CPU and graphics adapter fans, the X51 emits some noise, but it's not overly loud. The power supply is external and this is a design choice that has allowed Alienware to make this machine so small, yet powerful. It is a big power adapter though (200x100mm) and it makes the system a little messy overall.
The hard drive and fan at the front of the system.
The vertical orientation of the case means that the slot-loading optical drive will spit out your discs with no support and you'll have to pick them up off the floor — that is, if you still use discs. A tray-based Blu-ray combo drive would be a little more careful with your discs. As it stands, the disrespect this system shows towards discs will probably further your desire to move away from optical media towards downloads and hard drive-based content.
Like other Alienware systems, the X51 has a comprehensive lighting system that works in conjunction with the Alien FX program. It allows you to choose from a wide range of colours for the two side panel lights, as well as the power button light and Alienware logo on the front.
The side panel and alien head lights.
The biggest selling point of this system is its small size, which houses enough graphics grunt to tackle the latest games at high-definition resolutions. It's not an upgradeable system, but then again, not many small systems are. You get ample power for everyday applications and multitasking and more than a handful of USB ports for external storage and other devices.
We like the design of the system and the custom lighting schemes that can be implemented; the input peripherals that are supplied are comfortable to use, too. We don't like the slot-loading Blu-ray combo drive though, which has no means of holding discs when they are ejected, and we think the power adapter is too cumbersome, but we can appreciate that it has been left outside the case so that the system footprint can be smaller overall. In a nutshell, if you're not a do-it-yourself person and you want a small and capable gaming system, then the X51 is worth looking in to.

TinyMCE broken after upgrade, suggested fixes not working
Hi guys,
I posted about this in another thread, but in retrospect creating my own would have been a better idea. So that's what I'm doing. 😉
I have a user running a wordpress site which was until recently on 3.0.5. One of the managers had a quite incredible lapse in judgment a while ago and gave this user direct access to the server, so before I knew anything about it he had upgraded both test and production environments to 3.1. Predictably enough, the upgrade broke a few things, and I'm now trying to find out why the tinymce rich-text editor is failing to load.
The exact nature of the problem is the same as described by a user here, the tinymce box displays the markup of the page in the same colour as the background so it becomes visible when selected, and when the 'html' tab is clicked and then the 'visual' tab is clicked again, the markup becomes visible normally. I don't know what the RTF editor buttons actually look like when they're working, but either way they're not there.
I have tried all the troubleshooting options suggested in the master thread, i.e. disabling all plugins and reverting to the original theme, but so far nothing I've tried has made any difference at all.
Hoping someone can help me, so I can get this user off my back! 😛

Reese Witherspoon Admits She 'Would Love' To Have More Kids
Now that Reese Witherspoon is happily married to Jim Toth (her husband of almost a year), she's announced that she's more than ready to once again take on the role of motherhood. That's right — she wants to have more kids! At Wednesday's premiere of her film This Means War, the actress told Us Weekly that she hasn't ruled out getting pregnant once again, admitting, "I would love that!" Guess what? So would we!
Additionally, Reese gushed about how happy she is with her life right now, saying, "I'm really happy. I feel really good and I'm at a really good place in my life." And it shows. Granted, she always looks pretty amazing, but she's had a certain glow about her ever since dating Toth (even though I was a huge Jake Gyllenhaal supporter). And you know that if they do get pregnant, those kids will be adorable (not to mention how cute Reese would look sporting a baby bump). Of course, now that the subject has been brought up, the press is constantly going to be on the lookout to see if she actually becomes pregnant. Let the baby bump speculation begin!

The only issue is that they don't have enough of a variety in edibles for me, but great prices on smoke & the order I just got was received within like 20 minutes!
The start up/inventory process was a little different than I was use to, but everything after that was great! The flower is awesome and was on time as promised. I will be returning for sure. Thanks again for the great service.
I had call and place a order even told me your delivery it's on its way. Next thing you know asking for more verification even thoe I sended all the documents. Got me excited for nothing. Next !!!
I love coming here to get my flowers because of the buy one get one half off and the flowers are always amazing. I wish they could expand theiron edible line as its hard to judge your dosage off 1 bar that has 9 doses. I would prefer chocolate but other than that I have no complaints
Budee has been great to me. Really nice drivers, good bud, and super responsive. I once ordered something off the wrong menu and they called me to offer similar strains that were available, unlike other delievery services that just bring you god knows what.
They are an amazing service! Their deliverit's are usually within the hour and a half range, but have yet to disappointhe when it comes to quality. Some of the best shatter I've had delivered and certainly the best price!
I work nights so budee works perfectly in my schedule, I can order late at night and have delivery within an hour. They even accommodated me when I moved 150 miles from home. Good job budee

To all of you gamers who were absolutely stunned by games like Flower and Journey, you are going to love ABZÛ. In the game, the player takes a deep dive into unexplored waters full of dynamically animated and interactive fish. There are hundreds of species of fish in this ocean, all of which are based off of actual fish.
Real fish are far more interesting than made-up fish.
Creative director, Matt Nava explained that he and the team traveled to many locations around the world and scuba-dived to study different fish species and the way they moved. When asked if the team ever consider adding fictional species of fish to ABZÛ, Nava confirmed that it was, indeed, an idea. This idea, however, was scrapped because "No kind of fish can be as interesting and beautiful as the real fish we have on Earth."
The visuals of the game make it seem almost like a dream.
The bioluminescence is unreal in this game and really adds life to the depths of the sea. Nava says that the game was designed to make the player feel at peace as they explore the ocean. Because of this, the team at 505 Games decided to not make this game a scuba-diving simulator in which you'd have to keep track of air pressure, your diver's breathing levels, and other such things.
Possibly my favorite thing about ABZÛ is the amount of stuff you can interact with. You can catch onto bigger fish, whales, and turtles for a ride and even befriend little droids that help you pass through obstacles you could otherwise not break through.
The game is purely an exploration adventure, and, while peaceful most of the time, many dangers lurk in the waters.
This is my second time playing the game (the first being at last year's PlayStation Experience), and I'm just as amazed as I was before. I cannot wait to play this game to its entirety when it launches on August 2nd.
