Most people would ask themselves,"if i had a million dollar,what would i do?"i know this is not a fresh question.maybe to someone,it`s quite an old one,but i still want to say sth about it.
Money has played a more and more important role in modern society.everyone is expecting that one day they could become a millionare.so that`s why competition is more and more intenser.Poor people are more and more poorer while the rich are more and more richer.we are in such an upset balance,but no one has ever realized that.
If i had a million dollar,first i would not use it for recreation.i think i will use it to help the poor or maybe set up a foundation,just like a charity.i think if everyone could give a hand to those poor,the world would be a better one.Hunger,poverty and even war would disappear at that time.we could once again see the smile on the poor child and hear their sincere bless on those who helped them.

[JURIST] US Attorney General Eric Holder [official profile] appeared Wednesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee [official website] to answer questions regarding the decision to try five men accused of conspiring to commit the 9/11 terrorist attacks [JURIST news archive] in federal court. In his opening remarks [transcript; video], Holder refuted the arguments made by his predecessor [Washington Times report] and other lawmakers that the decision to try these men in civilian courts represents a "pre-9/11" mentality. Additionally, he sought to allay concerns voiced by critics that civilian courts are inadequate to handle the cases of suspected terrorists and will provide a public forum to Khalid Shaikh Mohammed [JURIST news archive], the alleged mastermind of the 9/11 terrorist attacks:
Judges in federal court have firm control over the conduct of defendants and other participants in their courtrooms, and when the 9/11 conspirators are brought to trial, I have every confidence that the presiding judge will ensure appropriate decorum. And if [Mohammad] makes the same statements he made in his military commission proceedings, I have every confidence the nation and the world will see him for the coward he is. Im not scared of what [Mohammad] will have to say at trial and no one else needs to be either.
[JURIST] The British High Court [official website] ruled [judgment text] Wednesday that the government may withhold evidence from seven claimants suing UK intelligence services MI5 and MI6 [official websites] for their roles in alleged torture at Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive]. The court ruled that the agencies can rely on the evidence in their defense without disclosing it to the claimants. The ruling marks a departure [Independent report] from the "public interest immunity" procedure, which weighed the public interest in non-disclosure against the interests of justice. If the evidence was found to be so sensitive that it should not be revealed, the information could not be used by either side. The court indicated that a "closed material" procedure, where a "special advocate" reviews evidence not disclosed by the government and acts on behalf of the claimants, would be appropriate in this case. The ruling was condemned by Amnesty International [advocacy website], and lawyers representing the men have indicated they will appeal the decision. The ruling comes amid criticism of an October ruling by the High Court ordering disclosure [JURIST reports] of portions of previously redacted text regarding the alleged torture of Binyam Mohamed [JURIST news archive], one of the seven men involved in the civil suit. UK officials have expressed concern that the release of alleged torture information would pose a risk to the national security of the UK and its relations with the US.
[JURIST] The US Senate [official website] on Tuesday rejected an attempt to bar using federal funds to build or modify prisons in the US to hold detainees from Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive]. By a mostly party-line 57-43 vote [roll call vote], the Senate defeated an amendment [S AMDT 2774 text, PDF] to the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act [text, PDF; HR 3082 materials], proposed by Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) [official website], which would have prevented federal funds from being used to construct or modify prison facilities in the US to hold Guantanamo detainees. The action suggests congressional Democrats may be lining up behind President Obama's vision for closing [JURIST report] the Guantanamo military prison. The Senate approved [roll call vote] the $133.9 billion fiscal 2010 spending bill after defeating the amendment, which Illinois officials feared could have complicated the Obama administrations plans to move [JURIST report] Guantanamo detainees to the Thomson Correctional Facility [IDOC backgrounder], a maximum security prison in Northwestern Illinois. The proposed measure was also seen as a hindrance to President Obama's administration plans to try suspected terrorists in civilian courts in New York City.Last week, Attorney General Eric Holder [official website] announced [JURIST report] that the government will pursue federal charges in a Manhattan district court against five men accused of conspiring to commit the 9/11 terrorist attacks [JURIST news archive]. Earlier this month, the US Senate voted 54-45 [JURIST report] to defeat an amendment to an appropriations bill that would have prevented Guantanamo detainees accused of involvement in 9/11 from being tried in federal courts. In October, US President Barack Obama signed [JURIST report] into law the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2010 [HR 2892 materials] which allows for Guantanamo Bay detainees to be transferred to the US for prosecution.
[JURIST] Iraqi Sunni Arab Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi [personal website, in Arabic] on Wednesday announced his veto of the first article of the recently passed election law [JURIST report] at a press conference [transcript, in Arabic] in Baghdad. Hashemi said further amendments are necessary [AFP report] before the law will be acceptable, specifically calling for increased representation for Iraqis living abroad. An estimated 1.5 million Iraqis live outside the country, and many are thought to be Sunnis who fled after Saddam Hussein's Sunni regime fell. Hashemi is one of two Iraqi vice presidents who serve with the president on the Presidency Council [official website, in Arabic]. The Iraqi Constitution [text, PDF] requires that the Presidency Council unanimously approve legislation. The constitution also requires that the election law be approved by the Presidency Council within 60 days of the election, which was scheduled for January 18 of next year. After Hashemi's announcement, the Independent High Election Commission [official website, in Arabic] suspended their preparations for the election. Further debate on the proposed law will likely delay the elections, which may affect the planned withdrawal of US military forces from Iraq. The elections may also include a referendum on the US-Iraq Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) [text, PDF], which allows US troops to remain in the country until the end of 2011. A draft bill requiring the referendum was approved by the Iraqi cabinet [JURIST report] in August. If the SOFA were rejected by Iraqi voters, US troops would have only one year to withdraw, which would result in a January 2011 withdrawal - nearly a year ahead of schedule.
[JURIST] Virginia authorities on Tuesday executed a prisoner by electric chair [JURIST news archive], conducting the country's first execution by electrocution in over a year. Former Army counterintelligence worker Larry Bill Elliott, who was convicted of a 2001 double murder, was executed Tuesday night after Virginia Governor Tim Kaine [official website] declined to intervene [press release]. The US Supreme Court [official website] had denied a request for a stay [order, PDF] on Monday. Virginia law allows condemned prisoners to choose lethal injection or electrocution.The country's last execution by electric chair took place in South Carolina in June 2008. Virginia last executed a prisoner by electrocution [JURIST report] in 2006. In 2008, the Nebraska Supreme Court ruled [JURIST report] that execution by electric chair is "cruel and unusual punishment" and is therefore unconstitutional. The electric chair remains an option in seven states, with two more allowing it only if lethal injection [JURIST news archive] is ruled unconstitutional.
[JURIST] An Iranian court has sentenced five people to death for their roles in protests that took place after this summer's disputed elections [JURIST news archive], according to state media Tuesday. Another 81 people have been sentenced to prison [Al-Jazeera report] for up to 15 years. The names of those sentenced to death are unknown, and all have been sentenced for their cooperation with terrorist groups. All appeals have already been considered [BBC report] and the verdict as handed down by the court is final. Iran began trying some of the arrested protesters [JURIST report] in August. The protesters on trial were charged with crimes [PressTV report] ranging from vandalism and organizing riots to sending pictures of the protests to "enemy media." In July Iranian officials announced [JURIST report] a plan to either press charges against or release most of those held after the riots. The government released 140 of those initially detained and closed one prison holding protesters after Human Rights Watch [advocacy website] and other groups alleged that some protesters were beaten, deprived of sleep, and threatened with torture in an effort to force false confessions [report text; JURIST report]. Also in July, the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran (ICHRI) [advocacy website] reported that the number of deaths that occurred at the protests exceeded government reports [press release; JURIST report].
[JURIST] US President Barack Obama signed an executive order [text] Tuesday creating a Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force [press release] to be headed by the Department of Justice (DOJ) [official website] as lead agency. The task force, which continues the work of and replaces the federal government's Corporate Fraud Task Force (CFTC) [official website], is charged with building on "efforts already underway to combat mortgage, securities and corporate fraud by increasing coordination and fully utilizing the resources and expertise of the government's law enforcement and regulatory apparatus." Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Attorney General Eric Holder [official profiles] say the group will act aggressively to combat fraud and and prevent another economic meltdown. Holder will convene the first meeting of the task force within 30 days.This latest effort to battle corporate fraud is part of a wide-ranging plan of financial reform [JURIST news archives] that includes new Senate legislation and executive proposals [JURIST reports] intending to strengthen legislation and limit loopholes. Members of the Obama administration have proposed strengthened regulations and increasing restrictions on financial institutions [JURIST report] in response to the current crisis.

1. ScienceDaily: "Dinosaur-Bird Link: Ancient Proteins Preserved in Soft Tissue from 80 Million-Year-Old Hadrosaur"
An incredible discovery that shocked the "millions of years" camp is back—with further verification.
Ten years ago, anyone—scientist or otherwise—claiming to have discovered soft (i.e., unfossilized) dinosaur tissue would have been ridiculed and dismissed by the scientific community as a quack or a young-earth creationist. Yet within the last decade have come two such crushing blows to the idea that dinosaurs died out some 65 million years ago.
The first was the discovery of unfossilized dinosaur tissue at the center of a T. rex bone by Mary Schweitzer of North Carolina State University. That discovery—and, specifically, papers published by Schweitzer and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center scientist John Asara—started an intense debate about whether the bones truly contained dinosaur tissue (see News to Note, August 2, 2008, item #2).
Now Asara and Schweitzer have supported their previous find by confirming the existence of proteins in the soft tissues of a hadrosaur, a duck-billed dinosaur allegedly from 80 million years ago. Their new study, reported in Science, shows that "our T. rex discovery was not a unique occurrence," said Asara, who continued:
"This is the second dinosaur species we've examined and helps verify that our first discovery was not just a one-hit wonder. Our current study was the collaborative effort of a number of independent laboratories, whose findings collectively add up to a robust conclusion."
According to Asara, the team found nearly twice the number of amino acids that were found in the T. rex tissue. The fragments "showed marked preservation of original tissues and molecules, with microstructures resembling soft, transparent vessels, cells and fibrous matrix," despite the fact that the fossil was found buried some 23 feet (7 m) deep in sandstone. The proteins the team confirmed were collagen, laminin, and elastin, as well amino acids including hydroxylated proline.
As with previous studies, similarities between the dinosaur proteins and those of chicken and ostrich are being held up as evidence that dinosaurs evolved into birds. Dr. David DeWitt responded to this claim the last time it was brought up.
Furthermore, it seems strange that dinosaur soft tissue from 80 million years ago would ever be a convincing exhibit in support of evolution (and the millions of years it would have required). "At the heart of the controversy is the idea that ancient protein can exist at all. When an animal dies, protein immediately begins to degrade and, in the case of fossils, is slowly replaced by mineral, a substitution process assumed to be complete by 1 million years," ScienceDaily reports.
But evolutionists have their presuppositions, too, and one of them is the fixity of the fossil record and millions of years. ScienceDaily concludes, "But with this latest evidence, it appears that some proteins do indeed have real staying power." The unchanging assumption is millions of years, even if the facts have to be bent to fit into that framework.

2. BBC News: "Africa's Genetic Secrets Unlocked"
Africa may be the most genetically diverse place on earth. Is that evidence of evolutionary origins?
Evolutionists have long called Africa the "cradle of humanity," a reference to several supposed apeman fossils found on the continent. Now, the largest genetic study ever undertaken on Africa reveals the extent of genetic diversity there.
The study began with more than 3,000 samples of genetic material taken from 121 African populations, including from remote groups. Among those, the researchers identified 14 "ancestral population clusters" whose members share ancestry/ethnicity as well as cultural and linguistic similarities.
Because of the evolutionary presupposition that the group with the most genetic diversity is also the oldest population (the idea being it has had "the longest to evolve," BBC News explains), the researchers believe the study supports the idea that humankind first evolved in Africa. The scientists even go a step farther, claiming to identify an aboriginal group of Africans (the San) as possibly "descendents of a population ancestral to all modern humans," said the University of Pennsylvania's Sarah Tishkoff, the team leader.
Evolutionary assertions like Tishkoff's remind us of why Darwinism (not necessarily Darwin) promoted and reinforced racism for more than a century: the idea that certain groups' ancestors diverged earlier than others, showing them to be inferior to more "highly evolved" races. While even modern evolutionists dismiss such conclusions, the underlying principles remain.
Several factors could account for the wide range of genetic diversity in Africa, including the fact that it is the second-largest continent with a wide range of geography, as well as that its history includes ongoing trade and migration between Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Furthermore, it is not clear whether studies of equivalent rigor have been conducted on other continents (for instance, targeting remote groups as this study did).
After Noah and his family departed from the Ark, their descendants would have steadily diversified, especially after the Confusion event at Babel. In the millennia since, a litany of factors—wars, mass migrations, trade, disease, and more—have continued to alter genetic diversity. What we observe today is a result of both biology and history, all of which we can understand through the biblical worldview.

3. National Geographic News: "New, Fast-Evolving Rabies Virus Found—and Spreading"
An "evolving" virus is in the news again—but this time, skunks and foxes are at the center, not swine.
The virus in this case is rabies, the infamous disease that is perhaps less feared today but still around. A new strain of rabies found in northern Arizona has a mutation that allows it to be contagious among skunks and foxes, meaning it's "[e]volving faster than any other new rabies virus on record," National Geographic News reports.
The difference is that unlike previous forms of the rabies virus, the mutated variant may be transmissible by simple socializing among animals. Previously, the virus could only be passed through bites or scratches. Bats have long been the target of most concern, since they can live in such places as attics and often carry the rabies virus.
Obviously, that's a considerable problem, since the old variant of the virus quickly killed the host, meaning it could only be passed on in violent attacks. Northern Arizona officials have seen rabies in skunks for eight years in a row, while the Flagstaff, Arizona, area has seen 14 rabid foxes so far this year. The situation presents a danger because the infected animals are turning up so close to people, with one (a bobcat) even chasing pool players at a bar in Cottonwood, Arizona.
"We're watching evolution in action on the ground," claims David Bergman of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In response to the situation, Flagstaff has instituted a 90-day pet quarantine requiring all dogs to remain on leashes and all cats to stay indoors. Meanwhile, the state is increasing efforts to vaccinate wildlife (efforts previously deemed successful). Another concern is that foxes travel in a much wider area than skunks and other smaller wildlife, increasing the speed at which a new form of rabies could spread.
Once again, however, there is no evidence that the rabies virus is "evolving" in the same way that could turn a fish into a philosopher, as evolutionists often mean by "evolution." Rather, mutations in the virus are merely rearranging or reducing its genetic information. Also, note that very little research—and nothing peer-reviewed—has been done on this possible new rabies virus.
As for the rest of us, remaining safe from rabies takes mostly common sense, such as keeping distance from wildlife and ensuring pets do, too. If you or someone you know is bitten or scratched by a wild animal, wash the wound with soap and water immediately and seek medical attention. If caught soon after infection, rabies can be treated, but if left untreated, rabies is almost always fatal.

4. Weizmann Institute of Science: "True Grit"
An element of nature "designed"—a slip-up or a rare admission?
"Sea urchin digging teeth are designed to stay sharp," begins a news release from the Weizmann Institute of Science. Two of the Institute's scientists, in conjunction with researchers elsewhere, have spent more than a decade studying how urchins dig holes into the seabed floor. The mystery is, how can urchins dig into solid limestone again and again without their five specialized teeth becoming blunt? The news release pitches the puzzling question:
The amazing part, however, is that the teeth, which need to be harder and stronger than the rocky limestone being dug out, are themselves made almost entirely of calcite—the same calcite that makes up much of the limestone. How is this possible?
The answer is a "combination of ingenious design strategies." First, the scientists discovered crystals of strong magnesium calcite at the grinding tip of each tooth, which are in turn surrounded by a matrix of regular calcite crystals. This softer supporting structure allows the magnesium calcite crystals to remain at the surface of the tooth for maximum grinding effectiveness.
Second, the researchers used X-rays and other imaging technology to determine that the crystals are carefully aligned in two different arrays. The two arrays are interlocked right at the tip of the tooth in a way that resembles a file, augmenting the grinding capabilities of the tooth. Not only that, but the feature keeps itself sharp; wear on the tooth causes the crystals to break off in such a way that the tooth remains uneven and sharp.
We may never know exactly what God's original purpose was in designing the urchin teeth. What is clear, however, is that the teeth are yet another marvelous design—a word the news release can't avoid—and that this discovery adds to the ever-growing burden of complexity that evolution can only explain with time and chance.

5. The Telegraph: "Scientists Reveal Face of the First European"
The mock-up represents the "earliest known modern European," supposedly 35,000 years old—yet he looks just like what creationists would suggest.
Built for the BBC television program The Incredible Human Journey, the head is based on a partial skull and jawbone discovered in Romania. The Telegraph reports:
The skull appears very like humans today, but it also displays more archaic traits, such as very large molar teeth, which led some scientists to speculate the skull may belong to a hybrid between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals—an idea discounted by other experts.
The Mail also notes that the face has "a larger cranium [and] is more robust" than modern humans, while program presenter Alice Roberts adds that the skull "doesn't look European or Asian or African. It looks like a mixture of all of them."
While we're often wary of artists' impressions (which can suggest evolutionary interpretations more easily than actual bones), every element of this recreation supports the biblical worldview head-on. First, the skull mixes Neanderthal and other human elements (in line with what we've long said—that Neanderthals were just a larger-skulled variant of modern humans). Second, the sculpture suggests ethnical ambiguity, more likely in the days shortly after Babel before millennia of natural selection had reduced the genetic information in each human group. The sculptor even chose a mid-brown skin shade to match. Perhaps this is the face of one of Japheth's great-grandchildren!

And Don't Miss . . .
- Many have already seen the Internet sensation of the dancing bird—though it's worth watching a second time. Not only does it remind us of bird intelligence (a "pet" topic of ours), it also shows us a human behavior that chimps cannot duplicate.
- Two weeks ago we covered the latest chapter in the ongoing debate over the Indonesian hobbit, a diminutive human fossil. Now two new papers argue that the hobbit was a unique species, with both human and "primitive" traits. (Watch out for evolutionary assumptions any time the word "primitive" floats around.)
- Asteroids may be younger than they appear (to old-agers, anyway): space weathering doesn't take billions or even millions of years, as some thought.
- A new bill in Alberta, Canada, would reaffirm parent rights to exempt children from classes on evolution and homosexuality.
- In related news, a California student has won his lawsuit against his former high school teacher who, the student argued, violated the First Amendment by calling creation "superstitious nonsense" (among other attacks on religion). The lawsuit did not seek monetary damages, with the goal instead to prohibit the teacher's onslaught on religion in history lectures.
- At 1.8 million years, a patch of Israeli desert is claimed to be the oldest surface on the planet. Scientists know this based on ongoing video surveillance of the entire surface of the earth for the past 2 million years. Wait, our notes were mixed up—it's actually radiometric dating that gave scientists the idea.
- Along the same sarcastic line, a new physics device will be able to travel back in time to the "first trillionth of a second after [the] big bang." But we jest; rather, the device will travel through the imagination of astrophysicists' minds, with interpretations riding on the presupposition that there was a big bang.
- Why do evolutionists believe life originated by chance despite the astounding odds to the contrary? "But life DID begin!" cries the circular reasoning of one "scientific" blogger.
- In a strange "coincidence," evolutionists are increasingly crediting snakes with enlightening humankind—giving us the "evolutionary nudge . . . to communicate for social good, a critical step toward the evolution of language, and all that followed." Including the knowledge of good and evil, perhaps (Genesis 3:1–4)?
- The New York Times gets tripped up on the canard that the swine flu virus is "evolution in action," a claim we rebutted last week.

Today's weather forecast: Good Day, Sunshine!
Josh Bond had just drifted off to sleep when the phone rang. It was the middle of a June afternoon in 2011, and Bond, 28, had been looking forward to taking a half day off from his duties as manager of the Princess Eugenia, a homely three-story apartment building not far from Santa Monica's Palisades Park. He and a buddy had tickets to see My Morning Jacket play that night at the Pantages Theatre, and a "disco nap" was exactly what Bond needed. But now the phone was ringing, and time off or not, Bond knew that an apartment manager is always on duty. On the other end of the line was an assistant manager from across the street at the Embassy Hotel Apartments—the Princess Eugenia's elegant sister, which Bond also managed. There was urgency in the woman's voice.
"The FBI's here," she told Bond.
"What do they want, and why are you calling me?" he snapped, hoping the woman could handle the visitors by herself.
"They want to talk about one of the tenants."
Bond spoke to Scott Garriola, a veteran special agent who oversees the Fugitive Task Force of the FBI's Los Angeles office. Garriola, too, had the day off, but a call from the bureau's Boston office had put him back on the clock in a hurry. He needed to discuss Apartment 303.
"I asked if we could do it tomorrow or the next day, because I'd been working two weeks straight," Bond remembers. A native of rural Mississippi, he speaks with an animated affability that almost masks his slight Southern accent. With owlish spectacles and a tentative beard, he has the aspect of a doctoral candidate. Bond had been the night manager of a low-income hotel while studying film and English at Boston University, and he had worked at other hotels and apartment buildings in Brookline and Allston. During that time, he'd seen his share of prostitutes and crackheads—as well as the cops and FBI agents who raided the premises in pursuit of heroin dealers and rapists. But Garriola said, No, this couldn't wait.
Bond left the Princess Eugenia and slowly walked across the street to the Embassy, an ornate, Mediterranean-style hotel built in the Roaring Twenties. Inside the building, Garriola and four more agents showed Bond wanted posters featuring images of a retired couple the FBI was pursuing. A few of the pictures were about 20 years old; others were guesses as to what the man, now 81, and woman, 60, might look like today. Bond recognized the pair right away: They were Charlie and Carol Gasko—his next-door neighbors. Charlie was bald with a neatly clipped white beard and frequently dropped by the manager's apartment to chat about current events and the country music band Bond played in. The old man was always curious about Bond's family but had nothing to say about his own life. He was in good shape for a person his age; he made abundant use of the exercise equipment in his apartment and exuded an edgy vigor: Charlie once pulled a knife on a mentally disturbed man who'd surprised the couple outside the Eugenia, and another time he yelled at Bond for abruptly coming up behind him on the apartment's front steps. His wife, Carol, was the less assertive and opinionated of the two and never seemed to have a frosted hair out of place.
When Bond saw Charlie's real name on the posters, a name he'd heard of when he lived in Boston, he was taken aback. "I was in a little shock about who the people were," Bond says. "I realized the FBI wasn't going to let me leave until they had this guy in custody. So it was, 'OK, let's get this thing going.' "
Bond called his friend. "Hey, man, I don't think I'm going to be able to come," he said. Why? his friend wanted to know. "I can't really tell you."
The guy the FBI was keen to speak to had, since the death of Osama bin Laden the month before, topped its Ten Most Wanted list: James "Whitey" Bulger, who had run South Boston's Winter Hill Gang and had been a fugitive for the past 16 years. "Carol" was really Catherine Greig, a girlfriend whom he'd known since the 1970s. Bulger had been indicted under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and charged with committing or ordering the murder of 19 people during a criminal career in Southie that stretched five decades. His reign involved the biggest breach of FBI security and ethics in the bureau's history.
Garriola's plan was to send Bond knocking on Apartment 303's door to see who answered, and the FBI would take it from there. Bond didn't like that idea. Charlie, after all, had recently been tacking a note on the apartment's door advising people not to knock if the sign was up—as it was now. "No!" Bond said. "I don't ever knock on his door. I'm not going over there!"
Garriola came up with a Plan B: Bond could simply call the Gaskos. That Bond would do. No one in 303 picked up, but when Greig called back soon after, the apartment manager told her the unit's storage locker in the underground parking lot had been broken into, and he was about to report it to the police. Would Charlie like to meet him and check out the locker first? Don't call the police, she told him—Charlie will be right down. Bond left the Embassy and walked back toward the Princess Eugenia, ringing his friend one more time: It looked like he'd be able to make the show after all.
As he held the cell phone to his ear, Bond glanced up and saw Greig standing on the couple's balcony, a cramped rectangle three stories above the street. She seemed apprehensive. Bond stopped and sheepishly mouthed "hello" to her. But she didn't see him.

The room was small and shabby. Only one electric outlet for 4 people. Although it looked clean, it smelled something bad and shared kitchen was so dirty that I never used it.

Great location! Of course, you cannot expect anything fancy for such a low price, but I came late in the night for sleeping and left early in the morning, so it was totally fine for me.

Paul Ryan speaks with ABC7
With both campaigns viewing Virginia as a must-win swing state in this presidential campaign, Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan came to Northern Virginia on Friday. An overflow crowd greeted the 42-year-old Wisconsin congressman at West Springfield High School.
"It's the home of the Spartans," Ryan was quick to announce to ABC 7 News as we sat down for a one-on-one interview before the rally. The man known for his mastery of budget detail was clearly eager to show he's paying attention to each local campaign stop, as he tries to win over still undecided voters.
For the Romney campaign, the strategy in Virginia is the strategy nationwide - keep the focus on the economy.
With defense cuts looming, Ryan on Friday called on Congress to postpone automatic budget cuts scheduled to go into effect on Jan. 1.
Ryan on postponing budget cuts
"Under any scenario I do not want to see the sequester take place," Ryan told ABC7 News. "These would be irresponsible and devastating."
Ryan pointed to the plan he introduced in Congress to come up with other alternatives to the scheduled automatic cuts in discretionary spending. Acknowledging there seems to be little chance for Congress to agree on an alternative before the January 1 deadline, Ryan backed postponing the cuts even without an alternative.
Ryan on the tone of the presidential race
"The President has done nothing. The Senate hasn't done anything and so these are looming over us," he added.
But vocal critics of deficit spending in the Tea Party and elsewhere have argued simply postponing the cuts would kicking the can further down the curb.
Ryan has been a favorite of Tea Party activists, but Friday vowed that he and Governor Romney plan to push hard to prevent the cuts.
"We're going to do everything we can to prevent the sequester from taking place, because we think it's going to lead to a lot of job losses in lots of places - but especially in Northern Virginia."
In a wide-ranging interview scheduled to air both Saturday and Sunday on ABC7 News and on ABC7's 'WASHINGTON BUSINESS REPORT' on Sunday at 9:30am, Ryan talked candidly about life on the campaign trail, how he still fits in his P90X daily workout and how he and his family are adjusting to the presidential campaign spotlight.
Ryan on adjusting to the campaign trail
For now, Ryan says he and his wife plan to try and keep their three children in their regular routine.
"We're just going to give our kids a normal life. They're going to start school at Janesville, Wisconsin - the school they go to. They're going to be normal kids, with a normal school year," Ryan said.
But he acknowledged the Ryan children now get one perk - they get to skip the first week of school to attend the Republican National Convention in Tampa the week of August 23rd and see their father nominated as Mitt Romney's running mate.

Essential for making chocolate

Posted by Reviewer3288000 From Norway on Oct 06, 2008

This cacao butter smells divine! I use it to make my own chocolate. The fact that it melts at about body temperature enables you to make your very own raw, organic chocolate using this butter along with the cacao powder from Navitas Naturals, vanilla, and a sweetener, like raw honey or agave. Later I will try to mix a little of this cacao butter into jojoba oil or avocado oil and use it as body butter. I have a cacao butter lip balm, and that's very good on sore, chapped lips.

This cacao butter smell like a huge bar of chocolate, it smells sweet, vanilla kind of, it has all aroma notes for chocolate needed, so you can melt it, adding a bit of some natural sweetener, some agava syrup, coconut sap syrup, mesquite powder. If you want brown chocolate, just add some high quality Navitas cacao powder and here you go. You can add some nuts, seeds, dried fruits , even spices to have more creative taste and look for your own made chocolate.

Just the smell of this is amazing; the taste is scrumptious! Perfect for making homemade chocolate. Actually, for homemade chocolate, I usually use this, carob powder, alcohol free vanilla, chocolate flavored stevia, and xylitol. Delicious!

Following up on the previous post about Shefali & Hitesh's Pre-Wedding events, here are some highlights from their wedding day which was at Ruby Hills Winery in Pleasanton.
If you've ever attended an Indian wedding ceremony (whether it's a Hindu ceremony or not), you're probably familiar with the baraat (groom's procession) and the milni (meeting of the two families) before the ceremony itself. As usual, it's a madhouse during these moments, but it's really a perfect example of how much fun these events can be. Along with the religious traditions that the families follow, there are a lot of fun traditions that the guests follow and that includes games the groom and his mother-in-law play during the milni.Most ceremonies at the Ruby Hills Winery are done in the courtyard out back, but in this case, Shefali & Hitesh wanted to change things up so they had their ceremony in the barrel room instead. I thought it worked out really well with the chandeliers and focused lighting on the wedding mandap (stage).One of my favorite moments of a Hindu ceremony is the "first look". Now, a lot of couples do their first look photos beforehand and as photographers we get to capture the emotions as the bride & groom first see each other in their wedding attire. Regardless of whether we've done that, I just love the emotions on the mandap itself and the antharpath (that's the sheet separating the bride and groom on the stage) is lowered and the couple see each other just as the ceremony is to begin. Shefali's smile says it all to me!After the afternoon ceremony, everyone reconvened in the evening for the couple's reception. Again, Shefali & Hitesh mixed things up by adding some fun to their first dance…in addition to a slow dance, they kicked off the fun with a dance to "Jai Ho"Shefali & Hitesh, congrats again!

anyway, either gargano or zuniga's goal should be among the goal of the week! sigh, how the serie a is getting more and more underrated
I had to watch this game on the internet because all the american channels want to show madrid and manchester games regardless of who they play...it sucks i wish there was a serie a channel you could pay for online to have access to all the games....id buy it, sick of watching games like madrid v zaragoza. When i have to go through bootleg internet sites to see a game like napoli v juve
Im with you man. I'd love to see some more Napoli or Borussia Dortmund games but it's a tad hard here in the US.
great game by Napoli! yeah, they really should play at this level to remain at the top. especially after inter and roma have started to get their senses for the last four five games.
what a performance ! genoa gave the ball away too many times didnt and did not look interested at all.. now with Vargas coming in January, second half of the season will be a show!
Did Genoa refuse to play defense or something? Beautiful goals from Zuniga and Gargano, Cavani with the cheeky chip!
they just did not look interested at all.. gave the ball away almost every time, good to see we took advantage almost every time!

Though Chef Douglas Rodriguez's take on Latin cuisine is contemporary, he's no newcomer to the restaurant scene. SunPost Weekly credits him with propelling award-winning eateries including Wet Paint Cafe, the original Yuca, and Patria in New York to star status. At De Rodriguez Cuba, adjacent to the five-star Hilton's Bentley Beach Club, the executive chef channels his decorated career into a menu of Havana-inspired dishes and signature ceviches crafted from sustainable seafood. He steeps lobster, shrimp, and crab in the tangy notes of coconut milk, lime, and ginger for the thai coconut seafood ceviche and tops the popular vaca frita entree with avocado and tomato chimichurri. Complemented by Cuban cocktails or a sip from the large wine list, the dishes evoke images of the islands.
The eatery's decor also contributes Caribbean character, stealing the spotlight in a Miami Beach magazine piece. According to the article, "guests can sit poolside or in the lovely dining salon facing the sea," or they can set up shop at the 25-foot ceviche bar in a space "that's all dark woods and serene white curtains." Scattered palm trees and large green lounge chairs border one side of the pool, the other bank crowded with crimson-trimmed tan couches that melt seamlessly into the open dining room. The sweet notes of live music fill the age-worn slats above the bar, beside which an aquarium teems with fish like the fridge of a hibernating bear.
It was in La Ceiba, Honduras, that Mario Flores first began associating food with family. His mother would cook for him and his siblings, and the family meals, which set the groundwork for good conversation, provided both a structure to daily life and a sense of comfort. He now hopes to emulate that same atmosphere at his own establishment, Mario's Catalina Restaurant, where he mans the kitchen.
His dishes harken back to old-world Cuba and Spain with appetizers of yucca, sides of fried plantains, and entrees of roast pork cooked in Jack Daniel's whiskey, which is a far more flavorful marinade than Jack Daniel's lukewarm water. His menu also includes "Mario's favorite": a red snapper fillet breaded in green plantains and accompanied by lobster sauce and jumbo shrimp.
Guests enjoy these dishes and a selection of wines and sangria inside the dining room, which, with its wall-to-wall paintings, softly lit lamps, shimmering chandeliers, and close tables, resembles a warm, cozy home.
Las Culebrinas' expansive menu lets diners sail seas of flavor with authentic Cuban and Caribbean cuisine. Portions of grilled top sirloin and breaded steak arrive on elegant white plates with rice, beans, and delectable plantains. The tender ropa vieja presents succulent shredded beef, and the pork tenderloin is stuffed with mashed plantains, just like a traditional piñata. Two-person plates—such as paella or arroz con mariscos—require a little extra waiting time while their exquisite tastes to blend in the kitchen. Desserts arrive on plates dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with caramel.
Palomilla Grill has dished out its eponymous steaks and a range of other Cuban-style classics for nearly four decades. Ten varieties of palomillas, each made from top loin and tenderloin, include the traditional palomilla with sweet plantains and the Hurricanes palomilla, whose accompanying vegetable puree is served inside a sandbag. The menu also includes personal-sized paellas, grilled mahi-mahi, and slow-roasted baby pig shanks.

Floyd Mayweather was just sprung from the pokey in Las Vegas -- and made his getaway in style.
As we first reported, Floyd was arrested last night at a Vegas casino ... for allegedly poking a security guard in the face last month during a parking dispute in Las Vegas.
Floyd left the PD without posting bail -- on his own recognizance -- in a Rolls-Royce.
That how he rolls.
I wonder if his arrest in this case means that they will go easy on him in the domestic abuse case? Do not be surprised if it happens folks!
Should be driving a Maybach. Seems more appropriate.... and if he can only afford a Rolls, then he's not rich enough. He should do a sex tape or start his own clothing line... like Lindsay Lohan. She make trillions from a two-minute sketch on a co c ktail napkin of some lame "legging" -a long sock with the end cut off. He clearly knows nothing about being a celebrity. Whateveh.
Clearly he has so much money that he doesn't need the huge purse he'd get from fighting Pacquiao. Hopefully his money will compensate for the reputation he is developing as a coward with a hollow undefeated record.
i am sure he didnt eat the sandwich in jail ,he went home to take a shower and have some ramennodels ... getting ready to do more trouble...
Mayweather is a little girl. Pacquiao would whip on you.
and Snoop Dogg is a little girl too.
Poked in the face? I could see if it was your eye and you were injured but just in the face? What a baby. People are idiots and greedy. Now Mayweather will go to prison and get poked. Poor guy.
I love it when the Celeb's rent these nice cars to be seen in and their friends don't know how to operate them... you know his friend was looking frantically for that door unlock button!!
I don't know where it would be either in a RR, but I do in my Pinto!
For the wealthy and famous getting arrested is no biggie. All they have to do is smile for their photo and go back to their mansion. Then of course they have court, have to pay a fine and go off on their merry way.
Floyd is such a coward and will no doubt be a broke coward in prison very soon. Everyone knows this. Beating up everyone except getting in the ring with the true World Champion, Manny. Floyd just can't seem to live with himself.... COWARD!
No he wasnt picked up in a Rolles, we was picked up in 2 Rolles. And for whoever said he should have been picked up in a Maybach.. he has one of those aswell ;).
I wouldn't fight pacman either! Manny would destroy Money, knock out in the first. Take your ball money and go home.

Can the Natural Gas Sector Save the US Economy?
Exports & Bans
"There's a silent oil and gas boom going on in this country," says Kevin Swift, chief economist for the American Chemistry Council. "Eight years ago, everyone was writing off the U.S. petrochemical industry, but our competitiveness has improved so much in terms of the global cost curve that the U.S. and Canada are now second only to the Middle East."
Opportunity Abroad
Apart from job creation and capital investment from industry, the glut of natural gas on the market is also creating export opportunities for drilling companies, says Canonica.
That would contribute further to GDP. Just how much, remains unclear.
"There are 10 proposed export projects planned in the U.S. right now, so assuming politicians allow them to do it and we expect them to, it's almost certain that natural gas companies will begin exporting to Asia and Europe," he says, noting exports could begin as early as 2016.
That's assuming prices don't remain below $3 per mcf for long.
"The price of natural gas has to be high enough for these companies to continue drilling," says Canonica. "In many locations, it's not economical to drill when the price is below $3.50 per mcf."
There's also a contingent of politicians and activists who are lobbying to ban fracking out of concern it could contaminate groundwater supplies.
New York has placed a moratorium on fracking pending further study, while more recently in May 2012 Vermont became the first state in the nation to ban the process outright.
If more states follow suit, that could limit supply.
As drilling technology improves, however, and the industry becomes more efficient, natural gas will likely play an increasingly pivotal role in the story of economic recovery.
"This is the most significant development for this industry in 75 years," says Swift, noting the last breakthrough was in the 1930s when the post-war boom led to innovations like thermoplastic polyurethane, which is used in everything from footwear, to mobile phones to medical devices. "It's a positive shock to the economy."

Defending Your Digital Domain Redux: Take 2
I've written about the idea that 'hacking back' is a bad idea, illegal, and even a little dangerous before. Interesting how topics have a way of re-surfacing from different angles. First, I'll just restart that I'm not an expert on 'cyber warfare' or a lawyer offering legal advice, in fact I'd simply rather not touch that whole angle at all. I'm much more comfortable addressing this issue as it came up today from a more sensible perspective. What follows in this post is an editorial opinion...
WHY does the topic come up?
The topic of "hacking back" or organizations having an offensive posture comes from, I believe, the frustration that many organizations out there feel as they're relentlessly and continually attacked. Playing defense is tiring, even exhausting both mentally and physically. The attackers have such an upper hand that we're left playing defense by finding where they've broken through our defenses, adapting to their attacks, and responding in near-real-time to cut their attack lines. This frustration leads to a mindset where we're easily mentally pushed to believe that it's desirable and even intelligent to go on the offensive. This isn't in reference to any 'cyber war' nonsense talk, but rather to the run-of-the-mill corporate enterprise strategy.
As a strategy for an enterprise, "going on the offensive" is, I believe, small-minded. here's why. With so many difficult factors to consider which I'll discuss in a minute, it's really hard to allocate resources to offensive strategy. Let's take even one more step backwards, first. When thinking about offensive security measures as a means of digital defense, we have to ask ourselves what the return on effort is. What is there to gain? With the precious resources of capital, people, and time all rarely in abundance is your time really best spent attacking your attackers? Even if you believe the right thing to do is find someone else to do the 'dirty work' for you, for example an organization like CrowdStrike, are you really willing to allocate the capital?
Let's look at why I believe it's difficult to take an offensive posture, and gain anything... with the exception of a few corner cases I'll bring up at the very end.
Challenge 1: Who is the 'enemy'?
Today's digital battles are very asymmetric. My friend Will Gragido, who has put his 10k hours into researching adversaries, likes to point out that while it's certainly possible to identify the source of the attack against you, finding the 'attacker' or 'enemy' is extremely difficult and costly. This type of research is also very difficult to do because unlike in the physical world, a digital asset such as a server build and maintained for legitimate purposes, may not actually be the 'attacker', but rather another compromised asset. Let me give you a for example here to make it clear. You're experiencing a menacing attack against one of your systems from IP address 10.1.2.3. With even a light amount of due diligence you find that this machine is also serving up some encrypted traffic between what appears to be financial firms. Legitimately, this machine is a compromised host, performing legitimate financial transactions between banks, but also now being used to attack you. In the absence of finding someone to complain to - you decide to attack it and 'make the attack stop'. In the process, you take down a crucial financial service which is traced to your enterprise... guess where the FBI comes knocking?
Look, attackers don't always use their home computers directly to attack you. The intelligent attacker, which I hope is who we're talking about here, will compromise multiple layers of assets to come after you. They're likely to pop a box (as Dave Kennedy of TrustedSec says), then another, then another, then another until they're far enough away from their 'home' to start launching attacks. When you see an attack coming from China (our favorite country to blame) how do you know it's sponsored by the nation-state, and not your competitor who has compromised a host in China and is using it to attack you? It takes lots of research, often times research we have no access to, to determine attribution correctly. Attackers often hide themselves inside the borders of nation-states that don't cooperate with the United States because that foreign government will likely block your legal attempts to go find the source of the attack, and trace the actual attacker - so you're left making best-guesses. These are not good enough to make a judgment call.
Finally - this whole topic makes little sense to me because as a corporate entity who is the 'enemy' I'm going to go pre-emptively strike at? I fully understand the notion of adaptive defense but to attempt pre-emptive strikes is just silly, period. When do you make the decision to become 'offensive'? When does a port scan turn into an attempted intrusion, turn into a level of attack that you're going to go on the offensive? I believe this is something that would need to be defined within some legal and standards framework somewhere first - and we're ridiculously far away from the maturity it takes as an industry to be ready for that.
Challenge 2: Offensive, so now what?
When I hear people talk about being offensive it's largely all very theoretical. I haven't seen anyone discuss the framework they would use to actually determine source of attack, successfully attribute, identify an attack strategy and execute the task, and then monitor for collateral damage. It's nice theoretically, but who's really willing to do this as a business model, or open their organization/enterprise up to this kind of liability?! I think you'd have to be out of your mind...or have an endless bucket of capital.
Robert Westervelt made an interesting point that attribution and liability are key issues when deciding to 'strike back', with reference to motivations. If you know your data was stolen and is now sitting on a server somewhere, what are the legal and ethical guideposts to help you decide whether you should go get your data back or wipe it as Robert puts it. Obviously in the digital world there is no such thing as 'taking your data back' because everything is just copied from point to point...you never actually lose it unless it was destroyed in the process of exfiltration. Even if you know for certain your data is on that server, are you sure you can safely go destroy it without harming someone else's system (which is presumably the host, since you can't know for sure)? I believe you have an obligation not to cause more damage, in the very least, and since you simply don't know the parameters of this foreign system you can't safely do anything against it.
Wait... step back... how do you even know your data is sitting on that box? Unless it's obvious such as being available for public view, you can't! What about when someone pastes your corporate database to, say, pastebin? Are you seriously going to try and go attack pastebin (you wouldn't since they'd likely take it down, but there are plenty who don't care) or another host like it to try to eradicate your data?! Think of the collateral damage! The minute you attack another system, meaning the second you have to act like an attacker you've now become just that - an attacker - and are subject to the same legal issues. This leads down some uncomfortable rabbitholes, but we largely seem to be ignoring that in public discussions. Is it because 'striking back' is cool?
More realistically - active or adaptive defense
I'd like us as a community to start to talk more about active defense. Active defense, in my opinion, does not involve this 'strike back' nonsense that's being discussed. While I believe we in the enterprise space will always be on the defensive, there are methods we can use to our advantage to make defense more effective, rather than just running from tower to tower repelling attackers scaling the castle wall.
I'd like to have a definition of 'active defense' that encompasses 'adaptive defensive strategies' which means effectively modifying defenses on-the-fly to meet your attacker's offensive moves. Yes, this means you will continue to play the chess game where you're going to be a step behind, and your method of 'winning' is to make the attacker fail, and go away, even if for a short time. If you're being attacked on your web server infrastructure and application-level attacks are the arrow of choice then you can deploy counter-measures such as tarpits, honey-pots and other methods to keep your attacker busy or frustrate them. If your applications are hardened and not susceptible to obvious forms of SQL Injection, yet someone is attempting to SQL Inject your databases... perhaps you could use a method like slowing down their server response time to 60-seconds... that'll serve to slow them down and give you a heads-up to carefully monitor that potential attack. I'm not saying I have all the answers here, just a better one than going shooting arrows into the unknown and potentially creating more damage along the way.
No, I don't believe in 'hacking back' or 'preemptive hacking' or many of the other methods we're discussing. They're illegal and the potential for causing more collateral damage is too great. Think how you would feel if one of your critical systems was compromised and used in the commission of an attack and then was 'hacked back' and disabled by some other enterprise! You'd likely go after them for creating a disruption of your services (which the stealthy attacker, the real one, likely won't do... keep that in mind).
This is a tricky, messy, and business fraught with pitfalls. Paying someone else to do it doesn't make it better, and doesn't absolve you of your legal and ethical responsibilities. As @DrHaxs summarizes nicely "If the box you disable is used for FDA, FAA, PCI, Etc, that is crime. You are the aggressor"
... Let's not lose our heads...

Very thoughtful post. When I speak to security experts like yourself about this issue, immediately I'm met with "it's illegal." I wonder if an enterprise with deep pockets can find an attorney who will say otherwise, or insulate themselves from liability by outsourcing the activity. There are also some jurisdictional issues. How about organizations that have operations in countries where laws are limited and unlikely to cover anything "cyber?" I can think of some very large energy companies that have operations in these countries. A McAfee-CSIS report a few years back spoke about cyberespionage and data-hostage/ransome activities in this sector. It might be in those firms' best interest to hire a crisis response team to track down the cybercriminals to deter future attackers. If the company's IP is exposed, it's very existance is at stake. Some firms would stop at nothing to regain control of its prescious data, even if the legality of the activity was questionable.I don't know. Maybe the real question is: How responsible are the people who advocate these offensive tactics that put the rest of us at risk?

Great Post!! I am curious to know that if going on the offensive was an approach that was given the green light, how many orgs would put less effort into defense and be swayed into just being offensive. Would it be possible for a company to build up such a reputation for smacking down would-be intruders that attackers would just stay away from them? My thought is a definite NO. I am sure someone would try this approach however. What would that do to your company reputation?
Another problem with going on the offensive is that the enemy can get bigger and stronger while you are most likely staying at the same resource level. Say you did hack back to one attacker. You run the chance that you have touched a nerver with someone that has deeper ties. Now, more attackers are coming to the initial attacker's aid and you are stuck with lots of people attacking you. This situation could get deep and fast. Hacker's like challenges. Once you turn it into this type of game, they will put a lot of resources into winning it.

If "going on the offensive" was somehow granted the green light and we ignored liability, international law and all that it wouldn't help one teencie, tiny bit. You can see the effects of 'deterrence' to criminals in the real world through stiffer sentences, and more harsh penalties - nothing... they just work harder not to get caught.
"Cyber deterrence" is a ridiculous idea. I can't possibly see how "preemptively striking" would deter the 'real' attacker, beyond the script kiddie or casual attacker. Your point about "poking the gorilla" is well taken - and probably would be more true than not. Remember these are determined attackers, which have you as the target of their operation and won't just move on to the next victim... they want your intellectual property, data or whatever.
I had an interesting exchange on Twitter today with Dmitri of CrowdStrike (link here) that seemed to bring us to agreement that it's not really "hacking the hackers" we want, but to institute protocol that as a last resort will go after take-downs and other means... I'm interested in his follow-up which is coming soon.
This is definitely an interesting conversation, which I intend on following up with. Heck I may even do a panel discussion style recording on my podcast... stay tuned.

"Poking the Gorilla" - Now why couldn't I come up with that?
I can understand the concerns for companies wanting to do something to stop an active attack. The most recent news, all the major banks taking a beating with DoS attacks against them. At some point there is going to be that feeling that no one can help us, so lets help ourselves. Unfortunately, in cyber, there are too many unknowns for someone to decide that offense is the appropriate answer. And then if it is, to what extent? Is the corporation going to hack into the attacker's compute and steal information to sell on the black market? A far stretch to say that they are going to go in digging for information to just hand over to the authorities. If we have the ability to access the attacker's computer we must already have the information needed to send to the authorities.
I look forward to following this topic as I have heard people talking about this for years and it never seems to go away. I don't think it will go away soon either. People are getting fed up with getting breached and attacked. Maybe their defenses are weak, maybe they are not, but they are getting fed up with it. Unfortunately, with all the different laws in different regions it is difficult at times to prosecute. If the authorities can't get the bad guys, when do you send in the mercenaries?

There are certain characters who seem like more than characters, who take on a life of their own. My friends and I call these characters "muses". Between the three of us, we have 22 of them, plus a small cast of supporting figures. This contest is intended to give us art of all of them, in one massive musepocalypse. I'm throwing pretty much all my items at this, so the prizes are amazing!
For the character information, please check out my request thread here. There's a directory in the first post, or you can browse. (Don't forget to check out the second page, there are almost two full pages of characters!) There are one or two of the characters that have missing information or no visual references; I'm working as hard as I can on that and hopefully it'll be 100% complete soon! heart In the meantime, I'm always happy to give out as much detail as you want; it's in both of our best interests for me to do so! (That includes more detailed story information, btw; for the sake of space I've left most of it out of the character posts but if you're interested, by all means ask!)
This contest will run from today, August 7, 2013, until my birthday, March 11, 2014. WIP's must be submitted by 11:59 PM PST on the 11th; however, as long as you get something in by that time, you'll have two weeks to finish it. The WIP grace period deadline will be March 25, 2014. Again, final pieces must be posted in the thread by 11:59 PST on the 25th. Judging will take place shortly after. The contest will be judged by me; I may ask the two friends who own some of the characters for opinions, but I'll be making the final decisions.
...I think that's everything. Remember, I'm always happy to answer any questions or give out details! Draw away! heart
10.18.13 - Prizes increased!
08.07.13 - Contest is open! blaugh


text: Cool... though its ironic people used to say, "turn of your devices when in a place" and here we are,... a company making millions enabling people to use those very devices. Its a little scary... isnt it possible that someone can take advantage of that? for example track using a gps and send data back and forth? i dont want to scare anyone here, but its a little odd. Anyone ever used a GPS in an airplane before?? i'm curious as to whether it can pick up on how fast you go. your speed and such. That would be very interesting! |
