I go in streaks but in about 6 yrs I have won many gift cards, travel, electronics, pet food rugs Beats what I used to shop online. This is much cheaper. Definitely use roboform

random entering, random winning
- I had no idea people did this for a hobby and I just entered things for fun. I seem to win magazine subscriptions and I one won an inexpensive silver necklace and that's doing this once in a while. I'm going to try harder - I'm back in school and in order to continue I need a few things like tires. Anything can happen, just remember your happiness doesn't depend on winning.
- —Guest ten
Won right away and continue to enter
- Won 5 day trip to Vancouver BC Jazz Fest within month after starting two years ago. Since then, have won a few smaller ones locally (radio/TV stations) $500 in gas, two night stay at local casino, free lunch at work, for example. Get into a lot more of them now then I used to, but since I have gotten accustomed to it, I usually only need an hour or less each day.
- —Guest Jay
Starbucks coffee for a year
- I entered this contest for about 6 weeks daily and on Christmas Eve the UPS man arrived with a small package and I remarked "I wonder what this is?" He said you probably won a million dollars. A year'sworth of Starbucks Coffee. Yes! What fun!

Fairfax Spotlight on the Arts, featuring more than 40 Fairfax-area events showcasing local performance and visual artists, announces its schedule for the 29th annual festival that runs from Friday, April 25, to Monday, May 17, 2014. This year's Spotlight, themed "A Voyage of Discovery" features not only artists from established arts groups familiar to Spotlight fans, but also artists from nontraditional arts and cultural groups from the area. Spotlight's wide-ranging event schedule reflects the depth and diversity found in Fairfax's cultural community.
There's a whole world out there waiting to be discovered. The time to start is now. "A Voyage of Discovery" for 2014's Spotlight on the Arts festival will highlight the transforming performances, partnerships and events that make up our arts and heritage regionally and in our own community. We will discover some of the great cultures and music from the ancient and modern worlds and, along the way, we will also share the stories and insights from those cultures that make up our City and Community.
In fact, Spotlight provides Fairfax and the surrounding area with an occasion to come together as a community and celebrate the talent its citizens have to offer. Fairfax Mayor R. Scott Silverthorne said, "Spotlight on the Arts provides unique opportunities for community participation in the Fairfax community through musicals, concerts, events and exhibits—for all to enjoy. The City of Fairfax is stronger because of Spotlight's long-standing success."
Spotlight began in 1985 as a cooperative effort by the City of Fairfax and George Mason University with two aims: to enhance the community's awareness of the many arts and cultural opportunities offered in Fairfax, and to encourage the expansion of the arts through support of fledgling community arts organizations.
The 2014 Spotlight Festival is closely associated with local cultural groups and is partnered with nontraditional arts groups to produce unconventional arts events. This year Spotlight is partnering with The Turkish American community and presenting "An International Children Festival" – an exciting evening hi-lighting the diversity of cultures in our Community! Other events include the 2nd Annual "Fashion in Motion, a musical runway presentation of fashions created by students presented by Fairfax Academy for Communications and the Arts; "Celebrate Earth Day!" offering opportunities to learn about Fairfax community gardens, to talk to a master gardener and to participate in a seed swap, in association with the City of Fairfax Sustainability Committee.
Spotlight also presents the traditional arts events, such as Vienna-Falls Chorus, a chapter of Sweet Adelines International, who perform four-part a cappella harmony and dance in the barbershop music style. Finally, Spotlight welcomes back many beloved local artists: Acting for Young People with a presentation of "Willy Wonka, Jr.," City of Fairfax Band, the Main Street Community Band, the Annual Bluegrass Festival hosted at local business The Auld Shebeen – and so many more exciting events…so check out the calendar – and come along and enjoy the best Arts Festival in Northern Virginia – Fairfax Spotlight on the Arts!

The Carolina Panthers already had a pretty good defense last year, and it was debatable that the Panthers had a better defense than the offense last year. That defense as already gotten better with the new additions of Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short, Drayton Florence, and D.J. Moore, and with the additions to the Linebacking Core, A.J Klein and Chase Blackburn, I am expecting that the Panthers are lined up for an even better season on the defensive end of the ball.
The Panthers Linebacking Core was already set for another great season, with Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis coming off great seasons, and Jon Beason coming back from IR. Kuechly obviously the center of the Panthers defense and the Panthers have taken all the steps to put him in as the leader. Moving him into the middle, a spot that has been relegated to Jon Beason up until last year, positioned him to be the immovable center of the Panthers defense. I am expecting him to be named the defensive captain in the next coming years; it seems to be inevitable.
Davis also adds another layer to the Panthers Linebacking unit. Davis is the Panthers Ray Lewis, or at least he is to me. He adds the emotional center for the Panthers defense, and though Davis may not be the better Linebacker, he is still a starter in the NFL and would be on any other team. I'm not so sure if you remember when Davis recorded that one interception against Atlanta, but I sure do, and when he caught that ball I remember the entire defense running up and celebrating with the rest of the team. Coming off of his huge surgery, his ready to work attitude only added to the strength of Davis's stance with the team, reaffirming his role as the emotional center of the defense.
With Beason coming back, the Linebacking unit will only grow in strength. Beason is a three time pro-bowl selection for the NFC team and the defensive captain for the Panthers during his active time as the Panthers middle linebacker. And he only seems amicable to let Kuechly take his spot as the Panthers middle linebacker, he also seems willing to do anything for the future success for the Panther's franchise. However, the Panthers did cut James Anderson during the offseason leaving them without their starting outside linebacker for a small amount of time, before we knew where Beason would end up.
The Panthers made up for it by acquiring Chase Blackburn from the Giants and A.J. Klein through the 2013 NFL Draft, two quality Linebackers who add some serious depth to the unit. Not to mention the quality backup Linebacker and special teams captain, Jordan Senn. So with all that being said, I honestly and truly think that the Panthers Linebacking unit will definitely improve from next year. Klein works hard, being one of the players that Ron Rivera has praised the most from the team mini-camp, and with his ability to play all three spots with the unit I expect him to be the first backup for all three spots. Blackburn also seems to be his very own entity. A special teams captain with the Giants for the past two years, Blackburn has worked his way up from the bottom, an undrafted free agent out of Akron, not getting any recognition at the beginning but then working hard to earn a starting job through hard work in the special teams unit. He also is a Super Bowl champion, something the Panthers seem to lack.
The Panthers have a great Linebacking unit. When it's all said and done, the Panthers may have one of the better Linebacking units in the entire NFC and possibly the NFL. The unit is obviously a strength for the Panthers and is something the team should try to exploit. It should prove for a very exciting year for the Panthers Linebacking unit, something I can't wait to see. That's what I think about the Panthers Linebacking unit but, as always, what do you guys think? Please leave your thoughts in the comments below.

Worse Off Than When I Started
I had the procedure done to my upper back thighs a...
I had the procedure done to my upper back thighs a year ago in November. A few hours following the procedure, I was dinner with my husband and my in-laws. I became nauseous and excused myself. I passed out in the bathroom. After several minutes, I made it back to the table and we left. I had no color in my face and no energy. To date, I still have cellulite in the treated. The worst part is that the area is discolored. It's faded purple like a bruise and it gets darker if I go in the sun. Save your money and please don't do this procedure. It is unsafe and you'll work worse than when you started.
2 Comments
I have had 4 treatments so far. I see a little difference but not mush yet. I just had the 4th one done last night. (she did a double dosage on me...77 shots...grrrr) My butt hurts so much. At first I was freaking out because I have little pouches that I didnt have before and they wont go away. The nurse reassures me that it will eventually go away. Let's see. I have a trip in Mexico on the 10th of Feb and want more than anything to be able to get in a bathing suit with full confidence so this better pay off. So far, i have bruises and welches on my buttox. I will let a few more weeks pass by and see if there are any results.

I am the Investigative Producer at CBS 46 news here in Atlanta. I am doing research on lipodissolve and would love to talk with you or anyone you know that has had this procedure. My direct line is 404 327 3226. I would like to warn people of the potential risk associated with having this procedure. I don't think most poeple have any idea about all of this...Thanks so much!

Dilla's mom puts on her cape and tries to save the day…
A follow up to the article posted on Dilla's records being put up for sale.
After a report from the Detroit News that J Dilla's vinyl collection was being sold off by a Michigan record store circulated online yesterday, sale of the records is now on hold, at least temporarily, while the proprietor–Jeff Bubeck of UHF records in Royal Oak, MI–coordinates with the J Dilla Foundation and Dilla's mom Maureen "Ma Dukes" Yancey. Yesterday evening the DN posted a follow-up story, reporting that Bubeck was now in touch with Yancey who offered to help authenticate the records and ensure that some proceeds from the sale went to the Foundation (before yesterday, Bubeck reported that his attempts to contact Ma Dukes and the Foundation had been unsuccessful).
In addition to Yancey's input, a groundswell of negative reaction to yesterday's news–in particular, phonecalls and comments on UHFs facebook page–prompted the decision to pull those records already offered for sale from the store's shelves. It's unclear how many of the pieces, first made available for purchase last week for Record Store Day, have already been sold.

Wendy Williams managed to call herself a Beyonce fan in one sentence ... and then essentially call her an idiot just seconds later ... saying the diva "sounds like she has a fifth grade education."
On an episode of her show this week, Williams said she was looking forward to watching Beyonce's documentary, but said she needed to watch it with the closed captioning on because "You know Beyonce can't talk."
The audience booed and Williams tried to backtrack ... but the damage was done.
Good luck getting Nets tickets.
It's not like she's wrong.... am I supposed to outraged on Beyonce's behalf?
Beyonce can't SPEAK.
@Gargamel: and . . .Wendy William's husband has the intelligence of a kid if he thinks Wendy Williams is all woman - that btch has a dck that pops out when she takes her pantyhose off.
Love Wendy! She doesn't put celebrities on a pedistool. She talks about them like they r just regular people. I love it. She doesnt praise them the way other talk show hosts do. Wendy is the shiz! Love her.
Wendy does have a point but that's smack talk you say among friends and not on TV. Seemed thirsty on Wendy's part.
Kids, she's right! Many of you are hypnotized with the Beyonce's fake hair, inability to truly sing or properly formulate a sentence. She can't talk and you can look inside her eyes and see that something is wrong. But being a member of that secret society that everyone knows about does have it's rewards....moron mind control.
I've never heard her talk, I know her husband is kind of a mush mouth. Is that how she speaks?
Time for Beyonce to complete that GED.
Let me find out Wendy's going back to her old self?!! Let is loose gurl!! B is a great performer and singer however, she is not very articulate and I'm glad Wendy said it publicly because my daughter is a Beyonce fan as well and she needs to know that brains are more important than beauty and talent alone. The ability to verbally express yourself in way that people can clearly understand is a very important, especially in order to keep the HATERS at bay. POWWWW
She told the truth,and she did not backtrack from it
She has more talent and class then wendys fast ass will ever have. She wants to be Oprah status so bad. dumb Bitch Beyonce is amazingly smart business women and a great person. you're so trashy bad mouthing others like that. You want to show your daughter a good example it sure as hell wouldn't be Wendy.
How does Wendy manage to get her foot in her mouth when her head is so far up her own ass?!
Haha that dude is funny, at least someone has the balls time make fun if that fake bi t, ch who lied about being pregnant
Beyonce and Britney Spears need to get together and take an english class ya"ll.
It's true! Wendy isn't telling a lie LOL.

Critics insisted it was a complete waste of time and political kowtowing to unions, but advocates of a bill requiring Connecticut public schools to teach the history of America's labor movement convinced Senate lawmakers to approve the legislation on a bipartisan 25-10 vote Wednesday.
The bill now heads for the House where it faces an uncertain fate in these remaining weeks of the 2014 General Assembly session.
The nearly 90-minute Senate debate included lawmakers remembering how their fathers and grandfathers took part in union organizing, as well as odes to old-time labor leaders like Eugene Debs. Supporters insisted many kids today don't realize the critical role the labor movement played in enacting protections for workers like the five-day work week and outlawing child labor.
"Is it the most important thing we will do today?" asked Sen. Catherine Osten, D-Baltic. "No, but it is a piece of the puzzle." She called the bill "a very minor piece of legislation" that will help remind students about "What it was like to work for the rights and safety of working families."
Senate Majority Leader Martin M. Looney, D-New Haven, pointed out the bill also requires the state Department of Education also include the history of free-market capitalism in the public school curriculum. He said the achievements of organized labor often aren't given enough emphasis in school history lessons.
"America today is largely a product of the labor movement," said the Senate's top Democratic leader, Donald Williams Jr. of Brooklyn. "Because of the labor movement, we have protections for life, liberty and, yes, the pursuit of happiness."
Senate Republican Leader John McKinney of Fairfield was less than impressed.
"You have got to be kidding me," he told his colleagues. "This is a political discussion – this isn't about helping our kids."
McKinney, who is running for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, insisted the bill wasn't about improving eduction in Connecticut. "We have so many problems and we spend hours talking about something that isn't going to solve any of those problems."

What science tells us about the incredible shrinking childhood.
Wopular is an
online newspaper rack,
giving you a summary view of the top headlines from the top news sites.
Senh Duong (Founder)Wopular,
All travelers who come into the U. S. from three Ebola-stricken West African nations will now be monitored for three weeks, the latest step by federal officials to keep the disease from spreading into the country.
The measure applies not only to visitors from those countries but also returning American aid workers, federal health employees and journalists.
The Obama administration has resisted increasing pressure to turn away any visitors from the three countries at the center of the Ebola outbreak, especially after a Liberian visitor to Dallas came down with the infectious disease days after he arrived and later died.
If a traveler does not report in, public health officials can track them down.
CDC already was telling its own employees and other health professionals returning from the outbreak zone to monitor their temperature.
According to an Associated Press-GfK poll released Wednesday, Americans are worried about Ebola spreading here, and many say the government hasn't done enough to prevent that from happening.
Health officials fear travelers will just find alternate routes and spark harder-to-trace outbreaks.
Monitoring can't stop Ebola from coming in, "but we'll have a better chance" to quickly identify and isolate cases, said Dr.
Most Americans have some confidence that the U. S. health care system will prevent Ebola from spreading in this country, but they're not so sure their local hospital can safely handle a patient, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll.
The National Institutes of Health has awarded an Oklahoma State University professor a $3 million grant to conduct research that might offer parents more help soon after they learn their child has cancer. …
A French physician who treated Michael Schumacher for nearly six months after the Formula One champion struck his head in a ski accident says he is no longer in a coma and predicted a possible recovery within three years. …
There's no dispute retired Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi drove with three loaded guns in his truck into Mexico where firearms are illegal. …
Australia's prime minister said Thursday he was considering a personal request from President Barack Obama to send a medical team to Africa to fight Ebola, but that priority remains responding to an outbreak in the Asia-Pacific region. …

A house divided against itself cannot stand ... each other.
The original Wu-Tang Clan member died nine years ago today.
In a real biopic.
Relating to Russell "Ol' Dirty Bastard" Jones.
"He loved women, and he just liked to go in."
A gem from the archives.
ODB's lyrics are apparently the last he ever recorded.
A recently defaced Bed-Stuy mural of Ol' Dirty Bastard has been restored. Hooray!

Former Chelsea FC manager Andre Villas-Boas has agreed to a 2 year deal to manage the Russian Premier League club, according to the club and the BBC.
The 36 year old Portuguese manager was once thought to be the next Jose Mourinho after winning the League, Cup and Europa League in his 2nd year managing Portuguese side FC Porto. Expectations for the young manager were sky high and he was seen as the next great manager to come from Portugal.
He signed with Chelsea in June of 2011 and spoke of building a long-term project at the club, but was sacked for poor results in the league and Champions League in March of 2012. Villas-Boas was replaced by Chelsea legend Roberto Di Matteo, who led the Blues to Champions League glory in May of 2012.
Villas-Boas then took over as manager of Tottenham Hotspur in July of 2012, they finished 5th in his first season at White Hart Lane, just missing out on Champions League play. He was dismissed by Spurs following a 5-0 defeat against Liverpool in December 2013, despite having an overall positive record at Tottenham.
Russian club Zenit St Petersburg are owned by the State controlled gas company Gazprom, and have been spending as much as any European club recently, including the £64 million splash on Hulk and Axel Witsel from Porto and Benefica respectively.
Villas-Boas will be presented to the media on 20 March, according to the clubs statement.
Zenit St. Petersburg currently sit 2nd in the Russian Premier League, 3 points behind Lokomotiv Moscow and one point ahead of Spartak Moscow.

Lee County Judge Ron Jacobson on April 1 will hear a motion to dismiss state charges against Ms. Crundwell. DIXON (AP) — Former Dixon comptroller Rita Crundwell's case will be in state court next month. The Rockford Register Star reports that Lee County Judge Ron Jacobson on April 1 will hear a motion to dismiss state charges against Crundwell. She's serving a federal prison sentence of nearly 20 years after admitting she stole more than $53 million from the northern Illinois city. She also faces dozens of state charges in the case. Crundwell attorney Paul Gaziano has asked that the state charges be dismissed. He cited double jeopardy. Prosecutors in Lee County say they need more time to determine if Crundwell should face the state charges.

End of life care in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: in search of a good death
Authors Anna Spathis, Sara Booth
Published Date March 2008 Volume 2008:3(1) Pages 11—29

Abstract: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an incurable, progressive illness that is the fourth commonest cause of death worldwide. Death tends to occur after a prolonged functional decline associated with uncontrolled symptoms, emotional distress and social isolation. There is increasing evidence that the end of life needs of those with advanced COPD are not being met by existing services. Many barriers hinder the provision of good end of life care in COPD, including the inherent difficulties in determining prognosis. This review provides an evidence-based approach to overcoming these barriers, summarising current evidence and highlighting areas for future research. Topics include end of life needs, symptom control, advance care planning, and service development to improve the quality of end of life care.
Keywords: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (MeSH), palliative care (MeSH), dyspnoea (MeSH), advance care planning (MeSH)

Kimberly + Zach Wedding Suite
- This wedding suite was created for one of my closest friends. We decided on an intro card with one of their amazing engagement photos, an invite card and an information card with a smaller reply card. We used another engagement photo on the front side of their thank you card as well. For the program, we decided to create a label for the front and then tied in the copy text with Baker's twine.

My mum just got home from her trip to Biri Island in Northern Samar to check out the rock formations. I didn't go with her even though I could because it's an 8-hour land trip (i think) and I have my other reasons. I already knew that it's a great place so when my mother arrived, the first thing I checked were the photos. GOD WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE AND LOOK AT THOSE AMAZING ROCK FORMATIONS!!! This is found on Earth. This is found in my country. I'm proud to say! And yes, I will definitely go next time.
Credits to my Mum or someone else who took these pictures. They're amazing.

Bean (known as Bean: The Ultimate Disaster Movie or Bean: The Movie in promotional materials and home releases) is a 1997 British-American comedy film based on the popular ITV comedy television series Mr. Bean, which was written by and starring Rowan Atkinson as the title character. The main plot follows Bean entrusted to unveil the priceless painting Whistler's Mother, which has been bought by an American art gallery to return "the greatest" American painting to the United States. In the process, a number of unfortunate mishaps see Bean almost breaking up a marriage, annoy an American policeman and accidentally destroy the painting, although a shrewd plan results in these mistakes being rectified or concealed.
The film was written by Atkinson and Richard Curtis and was directed by Mel Smith, all of whom originally worked together on Not the Nine O'Clock News. Its working title was initially Dr. Bean, based on a misunderstanding which forms part of the plot of the film.[2] It was given a PG-13 by the MPAA for "moments of risque humour", and an uncut PG by the BBFC, as well as the IFCO.
Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) is a security guard at the Royal National Gallery in London, though his reputation for sleeping on the job compels the board of directors to attempt to fire him, though they are thwarted by the chairman (Sir John Mills) who is sympathetic with him. In order to rid themselves of Bean, the board send him to Los Angeles to represent them at the unveiling of the portrait Whistler's Mother, which has been purchased for $50 million by the fictional Grierson Art Gallery with a grant from General Newton (Burt Reynolds), and the visit is arranged by the gallery's curator, David Langley (Peter MacNicol), who is impressed with the National Gallery's false profile of "Dr. Bean" and agrees to accommodate Bean in his house for two months, much to the chagrin of his wife Allison (Pamela Reed), son Kevin (Andrew Lawrence) and daughter Jennifer (Tricia Vessey), who subsequently leave for Allison's mother's house.
After some initial mishaps with the airport police and leaving the gallery's owner, Mr. Grierson (Harris Yulin) slightly doubtful about Bean's intelligence after meeting him in person, David begins to question his decision, and his worst fears are realised when Bean accidentally ruins the painting shortly after it arrives. Fearing that he will lose his job and possibly face criminal charges for the damage, David becomes despondent and gets drunk, even though his family returns out of pity. Bean, however, comes up with a plan to save David's career by sneaking into the gallery at night and replacing the damaged painting with a poster that he alters to make it resemble a genuine painting with egg whites and Allison's perfume. The plan works and the painting is a success, but Bean is unexpectedly called to give a speech about the painting with General Newton, countless journalists and reporters watching. Bean, however, manages to give a sentimental and deep monologue about the painting and wins the crowd's praise and approval.
Just then, however, David is visited by Lieutenant Brutus (whom Bean had crossed more than once earlier on) and is initially perplexed with the police presence, assuming that the police might have discovered the issue with the priceless painting. Brutus however tells David that his daughter Jennifer has been in a motorcycle accident. They rush to the hospital, but Brutus and the police stop prematurely to deal with a mugging, in which Brutus is shot. David shares an uneasy reunion with Allison beside the unconscious Jennifer's bed, while Bean is mistaken for a medical doctor and forced into a theatre to help remove the bullet from Brutus's chest, which he manages to do unorthodoxly. While still in the doctor's garments, Bean comes across David, who asks him to help awaken Jennifer. Once alone with Jennifer, Bean begins fooling around the room and accidentally manages to wake Jennifer. Bean uneasily reveals himself to David and Allison and asks that he be allowed to stay with them another week, which they gladly accept. Bean goes on to spend quality time with David and his family until he leaves.
Eventually, David takes Bean to the airport for his flight home, where they part ways as friends. Once at home in London, Bean takes one last look at his room, which he has decorated with photographs with the Langleys and the original Whistler's Mother that was damaged and then stowed away, before going to bed.

Bean received a limited release in the United States on 17 October 1997, then a wide release on 7 November 1997. In the United Kingdom, the film was released on 1 August 1997.
Critical response[edit]
Bean received mixed reviews from critics. It was criticised for breaking with the programme's tradition of having Mr. Bean as the centre of attention and for the alleged Americanisation required to sell it overseas (Bean also speaks intelligibly, albeit with apparent difficulty, as opposed to his frequent mumbling in the TV show).[3]
The film currently has a 42% "Rotten" rating amongst collated reviews at Rotten Tomatoes with a 5.3/10 rating, with many critics suggesting that it was over-long and lacking in jokes.[4] Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 1–100 reviews from film critics, gave the film 52 out of 100 based on 20 reviews, indicating "Mixed or average reviews".[5]
Box office[edit]
Despite receiving generally mixed reviews from critics, Bean earned $45,319,423 in North America and $205,893,247 in other territories,[1] resulting in $251,212,670 worldwide, making it a financial success with its relatively small budget of $18 million. The film was ranked number 47 during the opening weekend when it received a limited release.[1]
It was followed by a sequel 10 years later in 2007 called Mr. Bean's Holiday.[6]
The film's original score was by Howard Goodall, who had also written the music for the television series. Other non-original songs were also featured, in particular The Beatles' "Yesterday" (sung by Wet Wet Wet).
The CD soundtrack also featured a song not used in the film, a cover of the Alice Cooper song "Elected" (from the Billion Dollar Babies album) performed by famed Iron Maiden lead singer and Heavy metal icon Bruce Dickinson which features sound dubs of Mr. Bean making campaign promises. This had been used for Comic Relief in 1992. OMC's version of "I Love L.A." appeared in the soundtrack.
Boyzone also released a song for the film, entitled "Picture of You".

Those you mentioned were nearly always among the favorites at every tournament, I completely agree. They were favorites though regardless of being the #1 Ranked player. In fact those players were not usually the #1 Ranked player when they were the favorites! For example, Serenka was considered the favorite at 2011 W with a ranking of 320!
So you can pontificate all you want about the #1 Ranked player but the WTA has not changed its definition: the #1 Ranked player is the one with the most points in her "best 16 tournaments" over a rolling 52 week period. That's the definition. That's it. That's all it means.
One little thing: a player's best 16 tournaments, for top 10, must include:
The Majors
The Premiere Mandatories
Two best Premier 5's
I know having the actual information about a thing or issue can be inconvenient. Facts just mess up otherwise brilliant one liners and devastating propaganda initiatives. It is seen everyday and it's an extremely serious problem for our fact-challenged politicians in the USA.

NOTE: In the days leading up to the draft, Dairyland Express will profile the players who could potentially be coming to the Green Bay Packers with the 21st overall pick in the first round. Today, Northern Illinois strong safety Jimmie Ward.
Jimmie Ward would be something of a reach at the No. 21 overall pick, but he would fill a definite need for the Green Bay Packers at safety.
Ward had seven interceptions as a senior at Northern Illinois last season and had 11 in his four years with the Huskies. He also led the Huskies with 95 tackles, 2.5 for loss, and had a sack to go with 17 passes defensed and a forced fumble.
He's a little smaller than you'd like at a shade shorter than 5-foor-11 and 193 pounds, but he ran a 4.48 40-yard dash at his pro day and the small frame coupled with an aggressive style of play leads to some concerns about his durability. In fact, he did not participate at the combine because of a fracture in his foot, but he missed just one game due to injury in four years at Northern Illinois.
Several scouts and coaches have some concerns about his maturity, however.
He is considered above-average in coverage and run support, but will get caught peeking into the backfield sometimes and can be late to diagnose, forcing him into recovery mode in coverage. He's stronger in zone coverage than he is in man.
Ward would be a long shot to go this high; Scouts Inc. has him rated third overall at safety and 39th overall, but some mock drafts had the Packers making this reach. It's not likely, though.

This is the friend who sent me the picture from the previous post. He felt bad for sending me an embarrassing old photo of his mate so he also sent me one of himself.
Posted on January 22, 2013
I'm fairly sure I received this in an email from a friend after he found out I'd done the dirty with his friend (featured in the photo).
I started this blog with the best intentions of posting things that I found interesting or humorous on a regular basis. Inevitably, as with most routines I start, that regular basis slipped to sporadic before fading out to nothing at all.
I had a revelation last Saturday (revelation is probably an overstatement). Whilst my friend Shannon was trawling through the masses of photos and videos I have stored on my phone he said "you've got some funny stuff on here Jess Jardine" - Shannon usually calls me by my full name. With that I realised, everything I find funny or interesting I usually save in my phone.
So here we have it the last few years of hoarding anything I've found remotely titillating is paying off to a degree. I have a database of 891 items ready for the posting right here on my trusty iPhone 4, well probably not all 891 of them. A few are not suitable for publication!

Full Disclosure
mailing list archives
I am now posting some analysis I wrote on the subject right after my last
Since the exploits are now available too, this should primarily be helpful
to the good guys.
I wrote this without full details of the exploit, but it shoud all be
pertinent nonetheless.
It might help in some cases where there are firewall issues.
I also propose a new solution. No response from ISC, so I don't know if they
disagree or what.
Anyway, this is my contribution. I hope it helps somebody.
Further notes:
Using a dedicated nameserver for SMTP leaves the system susceptible to
attacks on
the mail system. To fix this too, the HELO checks must be removed from the
mail system
and moved to a separate HELO checking system (e.g. milter). The mail server
can then be
changed back to using the normal nameserver.
2. It should be noted that when resolvers and nameservers are configured to
use random source ports, both the firewall between the internal LAN and DMZ
and the firewall in between the DMZ and the Internet must allow for the
random ports.
What is always required is a machine where the user has the ability to write
packets to the network with any IP. This usually means super user access.
It is difficult in most cases to send udp packets with forged IP since
routers will not accept them. That is why it is difficult to conduct an
attack against a random target.
In certain situations, however, faking IPs is possible.
The machine must also be somewhere in the path between the two networks,
Company A and SiteB, so that packets released on the network get routed to
the target IP (A or B).
This scenario is realized if the attacker has access to a machine on the
same LAN with Company A's nameservers.
If the nameservers are
(a) inside a DMZ (a LAN in between two firewalls, one to the company's
internal LAN and one to the Internet).
(b) on a company's internal LAN.
(c) on a LAN directly connected to the Internet.
In all scenarios, the attacker must get access to the LAN or in case (c) to
the ISP's LAN which connects Company A to the Internet.
The attacker can get access to the LAN in one of the following ways:
1. client virus (only works in scenario (b).
2. break-in to the server itself.
3. break-in to a machine on the same LAN.
4. If the server is in a virtualized environment, access to any kernel
running on the hardware, and configured to use the same LAN. This can happen
if the server is hosted on a service provider's virtualized machine.
5. break-in to the router/firewall which connects the nameservers to the
Scenario 1 is feasible. The solution is to run servers inside a DMZ. Running
them on a LAN is just not smart. Environments where servers are not inside a
DMZ are inherently not secure because packets can be forged too easily.
Scenario 2 with root access makes it unnecessary to go through the hassle of
Scenario 3 is feasible.
Scenario 4 is feasible.
Scenario 5 is the only on in which case nothing works. If the attacker gets
access to the router/firewall, then even random ports will not help. This
scenario exposes servers to so many possible attacks that guarding against
them is seemingly impossible. I would have to say that this scenario should
be excluded from this discussion because not only DNS, but all protocols
which do not use cryptographic checks are vulnerable.
All environments where machines share a LAN so that sniffing packets is
possible from machines other than the sender/router/firewall/recipient pose
a security risk from all kinds of attacks. Networks should be designed so
that sniffing is not possible.
In addition, if networks connected to the nameserver allow packets with any
source address, then additional attack vectors become possible. Any DMZ
should only allow packets with internal network IPs from the internal
network, and others only from the Internet. If such strict checking is not
enabled, attacks against a server inside a DMZ become possible even from the
internal LAN.
Consequently, only scenarios 3 and 4 are worthy of contemplation in this
In both cases, if the attacker is able to sniff traffic on the network, it
can always succesfully conduct the above mentioned attack, since it then
knows the ID, the IP and the port.
Randomizing the port works even when the attacker can sniff the network,
because there is no time for the attacker to do a DOS against the legitimate
If randomizing is not possible, servers should be protected against sniffing
by using hardware solutions which make it impossible. This should be done in
any case, since sniffing exposes traffic to analysis, which can expose other
vulnerabilities on the network. In the case of virtualized servers, if this
is not already done, then it should be.
Other apps which use udp could have similar problems. I would think that
only protocols which can be invoked by a remote user face similar risks.
Therefore the obvious udp using protocols such as RPC and NTP are excluded.
Attack against client resolvers:
A LAN attack works if the attack is conducted against individual client
machines. The attack makes client+resolver "A" and the caching nameserver
"B." In this case it is sufficient to get a virus in one client machine and
conduct attacks from there. There is no need to poison the cache on the
caching nameserver if all clients' caches can be poisoned. Poisoning the
nameserver cache is only possible if the firewall between the internal LAN
and the DMZ allows packets with external IPs to pass.
In terms of getting the client's resolver to make queries, the question is
how? Images on web pages can trigger a DNS query. Javascript, java and flash
can also be used to trigger DNS queries. Another potential way to trigger a
DNS query is if the client uses software which resolves IPs. Firewall
logging software might do this. This would only be a threat to the arpa
domain for resolving IPs, though. Javascript, java and flash pose a real
threat, since the client can be forced to query any list of hostnames.
An attack would need to coordinate the two attacks, so this seems a bit
The randomized port solution essentially makes it more difficult for an
attacker to guess what data is sent by the resolver/nameserver in its query
packets. With only a 16 bit ID, there are 2^16 values to guess. With the
added ports, there are 2^32-1024 possibilities. It also makes a DOS
The exactly same effect (except for the DOS) could be achieved by adding 2
bytes to the ID, or by using 2^16 random IPs to send the query. The random
IP solution is not practical. Adding more bits to the ID is feasible only
through modifications to the DNS protocol. Any changes would have to be
backwards compatible, so as not to break compatibility with unpatched
systems, or systems which use the random port solution.
Where to add the extra bits?
(a) use qdcount and ancount fields (both 16 bits) to send the extra ID bits.
A query has an unused ancount and a response has an unused qdcount, so these
are available.
(b) always send two questions (qdcount always >= 2). The second question
should be a for a random name. The response doesn't matter, as long as it
contains the random name.
(c) add RR (resource record) data with the extra bits. This is probably the
easiest one to implement, and is also what is used by DNSSEC. A new type
would need to be added, called DNSID or something of the kind.
Solutions (b) and (c) have the advantage that more than 16 bits of
randomness can be added, making guessing even harder.
The other benefit of random source ports is that a DOS against the
nameserver will not succeed. Using more random bits in the DNS packet will
still allow for the DOS.
A disadvantage of random source ports is that it adds burden to the network,
especially for large installations.
Another disadvantage of random ports is that if the attacker is able to
induce the attacked system to use many of its ports, with the information on
the ports available to the attacker (e.g. through sniffing or by forcing the
nameserver/resolver to query hosts whose DNS was under the attacker's
control), randomness is reduced. It should be fairly easy for an attacker to
force a large number of queries to its own nameservers within a short period
of time, thus reducing the available port range considerably. Also, most
systems (at least GNU/linux and windows) allow the user to limit the number
of ports available for outgoing connections. This will also reduce
A third disadvantage of random ports is that large installations might have
difficulty with only 2^16-1024 available connections for all udp traffic.
A cryptographic solution such as DNSSEC would also solve the problem, since
faking responses wouldn't be possible. A DOS should still be possible even
with DNSSEC. The difficulty with DNSSEC is its slow implementation. DNSSEC
adds extra data to DNS packets, just as the above mentioned solution (adding
extra bits to the ID) does, and is also backwards compatible. The advantage
of the solution above is that it doesn't necessitate signing of DNS records,
and can thus be implemented through regular software updates.
A disadvantage of the above mentioned solution with extra bits of randomness
is political. Would it slow down the spread of DNSSEC? My speculation is
that it wouldn't, since it wouldn't diminish the additional benefits of
DNSSEC, which are, namely, integrity of records for owners of domains.
A more serious disadvantage is that both the authoritative nameserver and
the caching nameserver have to implement the solution against attacks from
the Internet. As a solution to maintain compatibility with unpatched
systems, caching nameservers could disable caching for responses where extra
ID bits are not included.
Attacks from the LAN do not suffer from this issue with the same acuteness,
since only the caching nameserver and clients need to be updated. Client
resolvers can be configured to disallow responses without the extra ID bits,
since they only use one nameserver for all their queries.
We can also conclude that the issue under discussion exposes a vulnerability
also in DNSSEC, since clients who make queries cannot know whether a
particular domain uses DNSSEC or not before they make a query. Thus, if an
attacker can DOS a caching namserver or an authoritative nameserver, he can
also send fake data to the client, who is none the wiser. If an external
mechanim is used to verify the existence of DNSSEC for a particular domain,
then spoofing wouldn't work. I am not familiar enough with the details of
DNSSEC implementations to say whether this is the case.
Using TCP will remove the possibility of a spoofing exploit. A DOS would
still be possible. A disadvantage of TCP is that it is heavier on networks
because if multiplies the number of packets sent.
The best solution in my mind would be to combine the information we have and
device a solution as follows: Add at least 16 bits to the ID. Send a normal
UDP query from a static port. Only allow several seconds for the nameserver
to respond. If a response is not received, wait and try again with a new ID.
Reject messages received after the window has passed. The key is to not
resend a query with the same ID. The second query uses TCP (which always
uses a random source port) or a random UDP port. This would solve the DOS
issue without adding burden to the network in most cases, since only one
source port and UDP would be used in normal situations. Since TCP would only
be used when a DOS is taking place, or during congestion, normal DNS related
packets wouldn't increase. Systems able to implement source port
randomization for UDP would be able to use UDP. Installations without source
port randomization for UDP would be able to use TCP. Adding bits to the dns
IDs will achieve better randomness without adding but a minimal amount of
burden to the network (using the qdcount and ancount variables, no burden is
added). Using random UDP source ports or TCP only on the second query will
reduce the burden on firewalls. All systems could protect themselves against
a DOS and against the spoofing exploit.

Real Housewives May Challenge
Hi gals..and Gord,
It's weigh-in day..:) I'll take one whole pound loss as I was lower during the month, but popped back up..:) 148..
Hope you have a great weekend everyone..
Where is our Buffy? We need our Mema back.
Ok, I'm in. Was down 1 this morning, so that's a total of 37 since 1/27/10. Seems to be slowing down, but I do need to start exercising more routinely.
It's going to start storming here in a little while - I think you all sent this my way! ;) Getting ready for a wedding today - hope it's not too stormy for the wedding party. Have a Baptism tomorrow - busy weekend! Everyone have a great weekend and I'll see you on Monday!
I forgot it was new month! :doh:
I lost .2 this month - my lowest was 124.4.
Though it might be briefly back up right now . . . I'm claiming the other number!
Happy May Day!
Shoot!! Just ate breakfast and forgot today is weigh-day! Tomorrow I promise.
Rain here and have been doing a lot of landscaping. Using black mulch and it is really pretty against the lime green hostas. My tomatoes are really taking off and I have a 2" long zucchini. I will try to post pics.
Yes - pics please!!
I really was back to 124.4 this morning! :high5:
Hi everyone! Just checking in - had a wedding yesterday and a Baptism today, but wanted to share -- when I got on the scale this morning, I was down another 2lbs!! :clap: That's now a total of 39 since 1/27! Anyway, hope you are all ok after all these storms. We're not getting them as badly as others - glad of that. Have a great rest of the weekend and I'll see ya tomorrow!
Congrats Shon!!

DS17 prom
April 1=151.2
May 1=152
Wrong way!!! But really I'm surprised it's not more. I can't really figure myself out lately but am hoping something clicks soon.
Mayday, mayday!!! How fitting huh? Lol.
Love the prom pics MK!!
At work today, busy but checking in.
Hi gang,
Just got back from Kansas City..Nice funeral on Saturday (dh's 75 year old cousin)..Sad times, but nice visiting with peeps.
Dinner out was at the Bristol Grill..downtown..very, very nommie..Great fish..
Love those prom pictures..What a handsome couple (and mom, of course).
Congrats, Shon...wowowo
MK: .2 is great..
Sandy: I think after this weekend, I will be back on track, too...May Day is right.
Cindy: Your weight is perfect with your height, I think.
Good choice Carolyn. I love The Bristol but I always forget there's one downtown. It used to be where Capitol Grill is now and we also have one out our way. Yummy seafood!
DGS has a wonderful time at prom last night too. I was so glad it didn't rain. They went to the school sponsored after party and didn't get home until 5 a.m. !!!
I'm typing from my new laptop!!!
DS17 was out until 5:00am too - he's already asleep!
Went to see Urinetown with DD26 and then out for sushi.
Good day!!
Carolyn - glad the funeral was OK.
Cindy - thanks!
Sandy - it's close enough . . . don't worry. It will be down next month!
Morning all! Need coffee really bad. Had a very nice weekend, but happy to be able to rest a little today. And didn't go off plan all weekend! :clap:
Great pics, MK. Your son definitely has your smile! Was it raining when they went?
Sandy, you'll get back on track. It's so easy to get going the wrong way - boy, don't I know. I know for me, it's really about getting through one day at a time. I do so much better that way - not focusing on the number of lbs I need to lose! :eek:
And hi Carolyn, Cindy, Marie and Gord!
Shon - not raining at all! It didn't restart here until midnight!
Today is normal here with a it more cleaning. Both DS21 and DD23 will be home on Friday!
Rough day!!
Early landscaping...a "before" pic.
Hi everyone...
AKKK..darn allergies..I got some claritin to help dry me up..:)
Honestly, that restaurant was very busy and the food was great..Of course,
it's easier to go to the one near you than worry about parking downtown, Sandy.
Cindy: You are so ambitious..I love hostas..They are so beautiful.
MK: Your kids are home one week before the KS kids here..Life changes a bit doesn't it? More food is needed..
Stopped at Subway after shopping at Wallie..(same building)..They now have their summer chicken salad ..so I got a chicken salad salad..Very good.
I'll have to check that salad out. I have a Subway just about in my backyard, lol.
Cindy - that looks so nice!
Yes Cindy, that's beautiful!
DH has been struggling with the pollen too, but he's stopped up more than runny. And he hates decongestants. So I guess he'll just keep suffering.
Hello, hello, Hello, Hello everyone! Here I am, back from major crash! Last /wednesday, I think it was, my 2 year old laptop crashed, and man, did it crash! I got it back up momentarily and then it went down again and there was no bringing it back. So, I turned on my old, old, desktop which was unstable but I got it working for about 6 hours and then it crashed and would not come back on at all. Called my computer guy who makes house calls and he came out the next morning and pronouced them both in critical condition and drove away with both of them, leaving me with nothing but my Iphone to get email and get on the internet just a little.
Today he brought back the old desktop, he had to put a new fan in it and replace memory but it is up and running and he was able to extract most of my data from my laptop and put it on this old computer but not all of it will work yet as I am running an old version of windows on it. He has to send laptop in to see if it is even worth fixing, boy, that is maddening since it is only 2 years old.
So, I haven't had time yet to go back to the old month and catch up with you all but wanted to check in and say Hi.
Great pictures Sandy of you and handsome son and date and Cindy, love your landscaping.
Carolyn, I am suffering from allergies too, they got a little better, now they are worse again. So tired of red, sore, itchy eyes.
BBL to catch up more!!!
Wow, Buffy - computer crash - so not a good thing! That happened to me several times last year. What a mess that was. Did you lose anything?
My brother called last night and will be coming to town on Friday and staying through Sunday. Haven't seen him in almost a year, so really looking forward to the visit. He and dh will probably golf on Saturday, and thought I'd put together a little party with other siblings that night. So I guess I'll be doing some cleaning the next several days.
Cindy, the landscaping looks great. Always so pretty when the mulch goes down along with some new hostas!
Well, better get some coffee in me so I can start this cleaning project!
Buffy, so sorry to hear of the computer woes. I hate them about as much as I hate car problems.
And that was Mary Kay and her DS at prom. My DGS went but I haven't posted any pics. They did look very nice didn't they?
OMG, Sandy, you are so right, I was thinking MK but wrote Sandy.
Trying to get used to using Old Faithful computer again, after using the newer one with newer version of windows for the past couple of years. I can't upgrade to a new version of windows on this old one b/c there is one old, old program that I use for our business on this one and it won't work with the newer versions of windows. I could go through all the time and effort to transfer everything into a newer program but that would take hours and since we are in the process of slowly shutting down our business, it just isn't worth the effort. So, for now, will use this old windows.
Going to just work in the office today, of course I am behind since I was shut down for several days.
I have graduations and a couple of weddings coming up. Found a pretty dress for the wedding I like but now am on the search for pretty but very comfortable heels. Any suggestions on brands? I haven't bought heels for several years and this dress just demands a nice heel but I can't do the uncomfortable thing at my age.
Shon, no, I don't think I lost anything during the crash, my computer guy was able to extract all my data, it will just be a matter of getting things all set up again on the laptop if it can be fixed, or a new one if it can't. If it can't, then I will have to figure out which laptop to buy, I am not buying an HP again, that is the one which crashed.
Well, I finally got the winning combo of drugs..One 24 Claritin and Sudafed every 4 hours.
It's a miracle..Of course I had to sign my life away for the Sudafed, but it was worth it.
Buff: Gosh, I hate puter problems, too..I'm hoping that this Apple will hold up..
On the heels..just try things on..I go for soft and comfy things, but you need to just
experiment and walk alot in the shoe department..And, someone said, go toward the end of the day to try shoes on, so your feet will have done their thing by then..:)
Dh is in MN for a couple of days..He thought he would be gone for our anniversary on Thursday, so we had a pre-celebration in KCity..Well, he will be back by dinner on
Thursday..Who says there isn't a God??? LOLOL. Lucky Gary.
Did some exercising, Wallie shopping, etc..It's nice to be home.
Buffy - this is what I'm picturing you're on
Is it this old??
Also I say some new Dr Scholls inserts for sandals and they're really squishy, but you can't see them! Maybe they would help any shoe you find.
Born, Soft Spots and Franco Sarto are good comfy shoes.
I assumed you weren't ready for these yet! :p
Carolyn - this is a tough time of year! I take a 24 hour Claritin-D and that helps tremendously! AND I have to sign my life away!
So you get 2 dinners for your anniversary now?? ;)
Shon - enjoy your brother!!
MaryKay: Yes, the pharma helper asked me if I was on C-D..and I told her the normal
C, so she gave me sudafed..Next time I can just get C-D..
Occasionally my scalp tingles, but otherwise no side effects!

Football is almost here. You know how I know? It's officially preseason watch list season. Today the preseason watch list for the Maxwell Award was released. The Maxwell is voted on by sports writers and is given to the person that is the best overall player in college football.
This year, Taysom Hill and Jamaal Williams joined the likes of Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota, Brett Hundley and Braxton Miller on the watchlist. Gotta admit, that's pretty impressive company.
I don't typically buy into preseason award lists. I think it's impossible to predict who the standouts of the upcoming college football season are before anybody has even taken a snap, but it is quite an honor for our two BYU Cougars on the list to see the recognition that they are getting across the nation. Between the conference realignment talk, Bronco Mendenhall's public cries for the Big 12 and the hype that Hill and Williams bring, it's setting up to be a good season in Provo. This isn't the first year in recent memory that offseason accolades have piled up and set BYU up for a great run, but fortunately for BYU fans, this year we'll focus on the "Rise as One" and not a "Quest for Perfection." Maybe that's a good sign.
Also of note, Utah's Dres Anderson and Utah State's Chuckie Keeton were also named on the Maxwell watch list.

Sony Pledges More Accurate Laptop Battery Figures
timothy posted more than 6 years ago | from the trust-but-verify dept.185
Slatterz writes "Ever wondered why you never get the 10 hours of battery life advertised with your new ultraportable? Battery life ratings have been a joke for years, so it's interesting to hear that one big vendor is picking up its game. PC Authority says Sony is abandoning the usual (and wildly misleading) JEITA method for coming up with those 10+ hour battery numbers (they're still using JEITA, but not the usual way). Interestingly, the story has links showing the old and new steps Sony takes to come up with those battery predictions. It's good to see the industry coming clean on this issue."

Six games in ten days were just what the Lakers needed. After getting off to a shaky start in Chicago, the Lake Show got on a roll. With today's win in Toronto, the Lakers have ripped off 5 in a row and have done so in impressive fashion.
Yes, the competition on this trip was all sub .500, Chicago notwithstanding. But these are the teams the Lakers have been playing down to recently.
Back again is the offensive efficiency we saw early in the season. With the rock moving, Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom each took turns taking over games. Toss in the inspired play of the bench and the return of Andrew Bynum and you've got yourself a team focused on a big game come Christmas Day.
But that is overlooking the first game in Staples in nearly two weeks. Before the Miami Heat arrives in L.A. for the Holiday it's the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday.
Another big part of the rebirth has been Ron Artest. On the trip, Ron Ron had a couple of games where he actually contributed on the offensive end but most important of all was his defense. That defensive intensity is going to be mandatory to defeat the Heat.
Hopefully, this team is hitting its stride. The road bonding couldn't have come at a better time. Still, there is some concern as Bynum's knee gave him a little trouble in Toronto.
Things are definitely looking up but Phil Jackson knows his team cannot afford to overlook Milwaukee. The Lakers need to keep things rolling as the Miami matchup looms.

Those good points aside, the sluggish controls and bad graphics prevent Shootanto from competing with the big retail releases. As a result, it should be considered only as a cheap and convenient supplement to a player's collection, and not as a replacement for a good retail version of a game in this genre.
Shootanto: Evolutionary Mayhem has a wonderfully insane concept and theme, wrapped around some really mindless shoot-it-all gameplay -- so while it won't win you over on the merits of how it plays, it might just be crazy enough in story and presentation to earn your investment of 500 Wii Points.
A shooting game in WiiWare might be tempting for the ones who like this genre, or for the ones who want to try this sort of game for a low price, but its execution lacks everywhere.
