Fear that the swine-flu vaccine is unsafe because it was rushed to
production ahead of the winter sick season has left many parents
willing to skip the immunization and risk the virus.
The first batches of the vaccine are now being distributed around the
country. Officials are expecting to hand out 200 million doses by
the end of the year and 50 million more by the end of April.
Public health officials are recommending that children older than 6 months
and pregnant women be vaccinated first. Other high-priority
candidates are people with infants younger than 6 months, health care
workers, people 24 years old and younger, and people older than 24
who have other health conditions.
But, just 35 percent of parents say they definitely will have their
children vaccinated against H1N1, according to a Consumer Reports
poll released last week.
Almost 70 percent of those parents who said they were undecided or would not
have their children vaccinated said they wanted them to build natural
immunities. About 65 percent of those parents said they were worried
about whether the vaccine had been tested enough.
Tales of vaccine complications, many of them urban myths, are circulating
through blog sites and fueling alarm.
"What I want people to know is that no corners have been cut," said
Anne Schuchat of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"TheH1N1 vaccine is being produced exactly the same way the seasonal flu
vaccines were produced with exactly the same oversight. We've gone an
additional step with that and are doing extra clinical trails, and
those clinical trails so far have not found any red flags in terms of
Reports that parents are exposing their kids to the flu at "swine-flu
parties" to develop natural immunity have outraged some
"The bottom line is this is very dangerous to children," said Dr.
Margaret Lewin, chief medical director of Cinergy Health. "Are
you really going to risk your child's well-being? This flu vaccine is
being tested widely. Why wouldn't you want your child to have as much
immunity as possible?"
supporter says: "It's 1,000 times safer than getting the
flu." - John Bartlett, director of the Center for Civilian
Biodefense Strategies at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health
Skeptical parent says: "The flu has been around for years, and
usually you survive it. If we are going to vaccinate for everything,
our immune systems are never going to be challenged, and what does
that mean for our immune systems down the road?" - Gigi
Christensen of Louisville, Ky.
doctor says: "I want to look at the risk profile of the
particular child and the particular family when I talk about the
benefits and potential risks of the vaccine." - Julia Getzelman,

Michael Phelps' training regimen: Snoop, Bunk, 'The Wire'
In London for his fourth Olympics, the swimmer watches 'The Wire'
Michael Phelps' training regimen: Snoop, Bunk, 'The Wire'
Michael Phelps' is a couple of pool lengths from Olympic history. If the lanky natator takes three medals of any ore in London, he will be the most decorated Olympian in any sport.
So how is he preparing for his swim with destiny? As he explained to Ryan Seacrest in an interview on Today, mostly by watching TV shows. "I started The Wire and I'm touching up on Breaking Bad."

The trick to tracking down your bargain formal dress is to decide on a style to suit you, to fit the occasion. Then, let the shopping begin!
1. Dress style looks at your invite and determines which category applies: Formal long length, lure fabrics, tailored bodice, ball or evening gown. Cocktail knee length for flared styles, slightly longer for fitted/clinging fabrics, less formal ball/evening gowns. Party cocktail dresses online australia, skirt/top combination.
2. Color if you're unsure which colors suit you, hold up something in the shade to your neck so you can see how it suits your skin tone and image. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Black - a classic, striking formal choice. Red a bold, statement color. Jewels rich colors to define your individuality. Pastels perfect for day formal, or choose a strong pastel in a lure fabric for sweet evening style
3. Shape which neck lines and lengths suit you? If you are unsure, a good sales assistant will be able to advice. Strapless, halter and heart shaped necklines are all elegant choices but their effect will vary depending on length, cut and proportion.
4. Wardrobe checks your closet for hidden gems. Using something you already own will save precious pennies for the dress of your dreams!
With a few ideas in mind, you can start your search.
Recent revivals of the 50s-style prom dress and the pink cocktail dresses online have introduced these formal designs to a wider range of stores. For fun cocktail dresses, stores like Primark stock the essential trends. High street stores Crisp and Mayfair in the UK
Is always a good bet for affordable glam in the UK, and provide a range of dresses, skirts and tops in a co-coordinating range, allowing you to tailor an outfit to the formality barometer reading of your event. If you're looking for a longer length or very evening dresses online, you may need to look further afield, as they focus on a party/cocktail look.
The wonderful thing about classic formal dresses 2012 online is that, though they may change a little from season to season, this is one area of fashion where staple styles remain constant.
Use this to your advantage, and head for outlet stores to pick up quality garments at pocket-friendly prices. Out-of-town outlet villages like Bisector Village
In the UK, and department store outlets, such as the US
Store Nordstrom Rack; let you shop around between brands. Outlet villages in particular can be a great day out, usually hosting popular restaurants and cafes, if you're willing to journey out of town to reach them.

Do You Want to Know What Makes Me Happy (and Probably Ron Paul) ?Submitted by Forever Liberty on Fri, 05/04/2012 - 03:16
Not only is Ron Paul doing well, but what really makes me happy is that so many people have awakened and its growing at an exponential rate. Look at our delegates and PCPs. That is a whole lot of activists who share our common beliefs and values. More than the Democrat Party and more than the neocon sect of the GOP. We probably have more activists with fire in our hearts than both of them combined and we are virtually everywhere. How many people outside of the Northwest knew the Northwest was Ron Paul country? Did you think it was filled with socialists? I'm personally surprised with just about every state, more notably Washington State, Missouri, UCLA, Louisiana, and Utah.

luckymeghanBut WHERE?
I assumed I'd stay in Florida because that's where most of our family is. However, after visiting Colorado, the hubby and I are trying to figure out how to move there.
If we can either 1) Sell our half of the franchise for $10k or sell my stock for $10k, we'd have the funds needed to make the move and start a franchise in Boulder Co.
Of course, it'd be nice to live closer to the FL family, so anything between here and CO would work as long it has beautiful scenery and great schools. :) haha no pressure 5 months ago

Back in August, I attended the CRYPTO 2006conference in Santa Barbara, where Daniel Bleichenbacher gave aneye-opening talk that highlighted a very common implementation mistakepeople make with the RSA cryptosystem. Since my own background is incryptography I thought I would try to describe not only this commonmistake and its implications, but also some details regarding why thismistake leads to vulnerabilities, in a way that's hopefully suitablefor a wide audience. For those who don't recognize the name, Daniel isa well-known and brilliant cryptographer who, among other things, foundcryptographic flaws in SSL v3.0 and also the random number generatorassociated with the Digital Signature Algorithm. Well, he is at itagain!
Before going any further I want to emphasize thatthe flaw Daniel found is not one that is inherent in the RSA algorithmitself; rather, it deals with a specific implementation mistake thatseems to be made widely. Specifically, he saw that many implementationsincorrectly handled the padding associated with the payload in an RSAsignature and as a result, one could present bogus signatures to theseimplementations that would be accepted as valid. (Although Daniel foundthe flaw in the Java cryptographic library, it has been discovered inthe widely-used Open SSL library, as well as the Mozilla Firefox,Konqueror, and Opera Web Browsers, and it will probably be discoveredin other places as well. Note that in many cases, the flaws have beenpatched.)
As I mentioned, libraries that possess this flaw can be duped intoaccepting digital signatures as valid, even though in reality thesesignatures do not satisfy the appropriate mathematical relationsnecessary to be considered valid RSA signatures. For example, inpractice this means that one of the above-mentioned Web browsers couldbe made to accept bogus digital certificates (since these are createdusing digital signatures). As an end user, you might think that you arecommunicating with a legitimate entity over a secure connection. Thebrowser will dutifully display all the appropriate lock icons and theaddress bar (which will take on a friendly and inviting color) willcontain a URL that begins with "https." Although, in reality, a phisherneeding no more than a pen and paper to do the appropriate calculationscould have been the one who created this digital certificate and no onewould be the wiser.
Now, for those of you who are so inclined, I'll describe the detailsof why this flaw is really a flaw. I don't believe that you need astrong background in cryptography to at least get a flavor for thedetails. All that is required is a basic, high-level understanding ofcryptographic terminology and a willingness to do some (slightly messy)arithmetic. If you are not already familiar with it, the RSA-signingalgorithm involves so-called "modular arithmetic". One way to think ofmodular arithmetic is to imagine that you are doing regular arithmetic,but whenever you get to a specific value, you cycle back to zero–kindof like how a clock works, where you go from 12 to 1. The modulus valuedictates when you go back to 0. It turns out that this wrapping aroundprocedure results in the same value you would get when you divide bythe modulus and take a remainder. By "mod N" or "modulo N" we mean the remainder that would result when one divides by N (or equivalently, the value you would get if you wrapped back to 0 every time you got to N).
In particular, in RSA you take the message you want to sign, andhash it and pad it appropriately (so it's the right length). Then, youinterpret the resulting byte string as a number and raise it to thepower of a so-called signing exponent e, taking the result modulo the RSA modulus value N: s = (PADDING || HASH(m))^d mod N. Here, s represents the final signature value, "PADDING" represents the padding, HASH() represents a cryptographic hash function, d represents the secret RSA signing key, and N represents the RSA modulus. Typically, N is equal to the product of two large prime numbers which are often referred to as p and q (these values of p and q are also kept secret). Sometimes we'll refer to the value PADDING || HASH(m) as the payload.
To verify an RSA signature, one takes the signature s and raises it to the power of the so-called public verification exponent e, and takes the remainder when divided by the modulus (that is, s^e mod N). If e and d have a specific property in relation to N, it turns out that this process goes backwards and should yield the original payload: PADDING || HASH(m). To complete the verification, PADDING is removed and the message m is separately hashed to see if it matches up with what is remaining. If everything checks out, the signature is valid.
In practice, e is public, and is often a convenientlychosen value that makes the rest of the verification computationeasier. For example, people might pick e = 3 or e = 17 or e=65537 (note that all these values are close to a power of 2, and this allows one to compute the exponentiation to the power e quickly). For the remainder of this entry, we'll just assume that e=3 (since this case is the one Daniel described in his talk).
At the heart of the security for RSA is the premise that given just the value s^e mod N,it should be hard for someone (who doesn't know the secret signing keyd or the prime factors p and q) to compute the value s. (Otherwise, onemight be able to start with a "message" value for s^e and gobackwards to find the corresponding "signature" value s, and this wouldconstitute a signature forgery.) Now, imagine for a moment that youremoved the mod N step from RSA. Then RSA would be trivial tobreak, since it would suffice to take a cube root in order to invert(which allow signature forgeries). Taking the cube root of an integeris pretty trivial. However, adding the "mod N" step into the mix seems to make taking such "modular" cube roots much harder (note that for security, it is crucial for N to be an appropriately constructed value).
Daniel found that some implementations, when given a signature s, will perform the verification step to get a payload string of the form PADDING || HASH(m) and remove PADDING. However, they fail to check if HASH(m) is the last thing that appears in that string. As a result, one can append a specific garbage byte string after HASH(m) that essentially tricks the implementation into bypassing the mod Nstep. Put another way, allowing extra garbage at the end allows us toconstruct a value that is already a perfect cube for which a cube rootcan be computed easily. I will show how the attack works in some moredetail below. (Before proceeding, I want to acknowledge Hal Finney, whogave a nice description of this attack on the Cryptography mailinglist. I'm going to base my explanation very closely on the one he gave,with a couple of extra minor details and steps filled in.)
In practice, the payload for an RSA signature would look somethinglike: 00 01 FF FF … FF 00 ASN.1 HASH. The beginning bytes representso-called PKCS padding (which involves putting a 0x00 byte, followed bya 0x01 byte, then a string of 0xFF bytes, followed by a single 0x00byte, and then something called the ASN.1 description). Don't worry tooabout what the ASN.1 description is, since it is immaterial for thisdescription. Think of it as a few bytes that appear before the hash totell the parser how to handle HASH. After these initial bytes, theactual hash of the message whose signature is being verified isincluded.
However, as I mentioned, if there is extra garbage at the end ofthis payload, many implementations will not realize something is amissso long as the first part of the padding is correct. (Correctimplementations should not accept payloads when there is garbage at theend.) Now, suppose that the implementation computes the followingstring from the signature: 00 01 FF FF … FF 00 ASN.1 HASH GARBAGE.Incorrect implementations give us free reign on setting GARBAGE towhatever we want. Our goal is to set things up so that the value forGARBAGE will make the numeric value of the whole expression a perfectcube for which we know the cube root. This cube root will appear to bethe correct signature. We now show how to achieve this goal.
Specifically, let D be the integer value associated withthe string 00 ASN.1 HASH (by "integer value", I mean the value youwould get if you converted from the base the string is in to aninteger). For a hash function like SHA-1, this string is 288 bits (36bytes) long. Suppose that our modulus N is 3072 bits long (a commonsize for many RSA moduli). By putting a 2072-bit string for GARBAGE, wewill arrange the string so that the value HASH is positioned at the2072 most significant bit. Then, the entire byte string with theGARBAGE padding at the end takes on numeric value:
(The portion 2^3057 - 2^2360 accounts for the leftmost substring 00 01 FF FF … FF at the beginning, the value D*2^2072accounts for the 00 ASN.1 HASH substring in the middle, and the valueGARBAGE accounts for the rightmost remaining substring on the right).
Letting T be 2^288 – D, we can simplify the above expression to 2^3057 – T*2^2072 + GARBAGE. By playing with the message a little, we can also ensure that T is a multiple of 3. The cube root of this value turns out to be 2^1019 – (T*(2^34)/3) when GARBAGE is the byte string associated with the numeric value (2^1087)*3*T^2 – (2^102)*(T^3)/27 (padded with enough zeros at the beginning to make it 2072 bits in length).
Incorrect implementations will accept the value 2^1019 – (T*(2^34)/3)as a valid RSA signature! Specifically, they will take this value andcube it and parse the resulting integer as 00 01 FF FF … FF 00 ASN.1HASH GARBAGE. Then, they will read off the 0x00, 0x01, 0xFF, and 0x00bytes until they get to the ASN.1 bytes. These bytes will tell them howto interpret HASH. Then, they will check that the original messagehashes to the value in HASH. If so, they will accept the signaturewithout realizing that the GARBAGE bytes are there as well. If you havean RSA implementation, you should definitely check for this paddingerror.
One of the main lessons to be learned here is that implementingcryptographic primitives requires extreme care. Sometimes, an innocuousdeviation from the specification is enough to take something that oughtto be perfectly safe and render it completely insecure.

Ready for a New Year at the Museum?
Plan ahead by clicking on the Events box at right to find out who will be talking about what at East Street during the coming year. Much else is planned, of course: children's activity days, coffee mornings, special exhibitions . . . Watch this space! And in the meantime if you have somehow not got yourself to the Ypres Tower (and the Women's Tower) lately, do go. It is open every day and there have been many additions and improvements over the past months.
While East Street is now closed until Easter — except for those events just mentioned — we plan to build on the great success of last year's April – October season when, thanks to a stop-and-look banner and FREE admission — and wonderful volunteer stewards — we attracted over 8000 visitors to our second site! That meant a whopping increase in visitor numbers over the same period last year of over 605%!
MEDIEVAL CONFERENCE 18th October
Indeed the distinguished speakers and the many participants from throughout Britain did make for a most stimulating Medieval Conference at the Milligan Theatre, Rye College on Saturday October 18th.
This year's theme was The Hazards of Life and Causes of Death in Late Medieval England. We all learned much and several myths about health hygiene during the period were demolished. [Do you think our problems are new? Ray Prewer compares Then and Now in a makes-you-smile-and-think piece on the Conference in RyeNews. Click for it here.]
(Click to enlarge photos.)
Professors from the Universities of Cambridge, East Anglia, Winchester and University College London presented on such topics as
- 'Poky pigges and stynkynge makerels': Food Standards and Urban Health in Late Medieval England
- An Archaeology of Disease: Leprosy and Leprosaria in Medieval England
- The Black Death|: Fact or Fiction?
- Growing Pains: Adolescent Life Experiences and Expectancy of Medieval Scholars
- The Incidence of Accidents. Broken Bones and Death by Misadventure in the Proofs of Age

How much do you know about Medieval Rye?
In addition to a two week exhibition of Rye's medieval French Connection (see below) during the Rye Arts Festival, two Medieval Rye walks were offered by our Rye Museum Association chairman, Jo Kirkham,
Her tours concentrated on the Strand Quay, Mermaid Street (once guarded by a long arcaded stone gate at the bottom, facing the Mint), a now gone Queen's Arms behind the facades of what we know as West Street, the Churchyard (aka God's Acre), the Ypres Tower (begun 1249) and Market Street (the market once extended all the way through to the present top of Mermaid Street).
Missed the walk? You can still learn a lot from Jo Kirkham's article on Norman and Medieval Times: 1066-1489, available from the slideshow above. It provides details of the medieval period in chronological order and is highly recommended . Some supplementary information, much of it deriving from things Jo told us on the walk is available here.
The French Connection Exhibition
The French Connection, a collection of Rye-owned maps , manuscripts and artefacts dating from the time when Rye was held from the King by the Abbey of Fecamp in Normandy, formed a most successful and much-visited exhibition at the Rye Museum during the Rye Arts Festival. The collection has been returned for safekeeping to ESRO's The Keep in Brighton The good news is that another exhibition is planned for next year's Rye Festival period.
WACOR Celebration
Did you click on the WACOR Celebration photo in the slideshow? The event was to mark the end of a most successful project related to the Heritage Lottery Funded restoration of the Women's Tower. If you answered No, try it now, or click here.
Brian Hargreaves: His Life and Work
Were you fortunate enough to see the outstanding work of Brian and Joyce Hargreaves at the recent Rye Art Gallery exhibition? Even if you were not, a write-up of Brian's work which accompanied the exhibition should be of interest as the Hargreaves together have done so much for the Museum — as Joyce continues to do. Click here (or on Brian Hargreaves under Local History at right).
Accolades for Rye Castle and our East Street Museum
Besides the recent Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor, two stories about our revitalised Rye Castle have recently appeared in local media: in Rye's new online newspaper RyeNews: Women Behind Bars and in the Rye and Battle Observer: a piece headed 'Exciting New Attractions now open at Rye Castle'.
- Inside a lovely card from Blue Spruce Class, Beckley School after their visit to the Castle is the message: "Thank you for showing us around your museum and talking to us about smuggling."
- And there are tributes in the new Visitors' Book at East Street too, e.g.
– So interesting to see how things were down back in time. A must for all!
– A wonderful museum. So nice to find out about the people behind the objects!
For more tributes see the infographic on the slideshow above.
High Praise from High Sheriff
The East Sussex High Sheriff C.J.M. Gebbie Esq. OBE and his wife came recently to see our newly refurbished Ypres Tower and the newly opened Women's Tower. They were so impressed with all they saw at the Tower they are coming back to see more!
What is a High Sheriff? A High Sheriff is an independent, honorary, non-political Royal appointment for a single year. In Saxon times the 'Shire Reeve' was responsible to the king for maintaining law and order within his shire or county and for collecting taxes due to the Crown. Today High Sheriffs support and encourage crime prevention agencies, emergency services, the voluntary sector and local charities.
We are fortunate that our High Sheriff knows a great deal about ancient monuments and the organisations which support them and was able to fully appreciate what has been done in Rye to preserve our Ypres Tower and restore the Women's Tower.
Not been to the Ypres Tower lately? It's certainly time to go again!
While we await the Go-Ahead for our plans for development at the Ypres Tower so that we can have everything on one site, we urge you to revisit it as it has been transformed during the past year and the feedback from visitors is glowing! In the main tower there's the wonderful new Virtual Tour and the skeleton of John Breads in the very cell where he awaited his fate. Kids love it! and John Ryan's book Murder in the Churchyard is on sale at the Tower. And in the newly opened Women's Tower with its Audio-Visual display you can learn about life as a woman prisoner nearly two centuries ago. You can find out more about these attractions elsewhere on this site.
There are LOTS of other additions and improvements at the Tower: new furniture and display panels, smartened-up exhibits, better lighting, a new model of the changing shoreline . . . .
Don't forget to admire the views from the Lookout (the balcony). Here is a recent Marsh panorama contributed by Peter Varley. For more views — by Clive Sawyer, click here.

Mercifully free of chatter, it will lead you up and down the streets, zooming in on houses, buildings, views. . . If you've been to Rye can you recall where all these places are? If you've not, we encourage you to come and tour the town for real.
Among other recent visitors . . .
Rye's Castle gets visitors from around the world as well as a steady stream from France, Germany, Belgium and Holland. Most recently there have been groups from Taiwan, South Korea and Hungary — and the two Russians pictured here with our Chairman Jo Kirkham.
Eduard Schaffer is a Russian helicopter pilot who flew many sorties over the burning Chernobyl Nuclear Reactor from 26th April- to 2nd May 1986, dropping various compounds into the fire caused by the explosion, in order to put the fires out. He was accompanied by his interpreter, Nicolai, who first came to England about 10 years ago on one of the month long visits to the UK for children from the Chernobyl area– similar to the ones we have hosted annually in Rye for many years. Eduard spoke (with Nicolai interpreting) at the recent St George's Day Youth Service at St Mary's.
During their time in Rye the two particularly enjoyed seeing our new exhibit at the Women's Prison Tower, offering interesting comparisons with prisons in Russia.

Hi, I'm Emmy. DH and I have been TTC for 2 years, and found out on New Years Eve '08 that he has azoospermia (0 sperm count). We put everything on hold for a bit while we tried to decide the next steps.
His Dr., a urologist who only does infertility, gives us a 75-80% chance of finding sperm in a surgery to be performed the day before the ER. After over a year of arguing/talking, DH finally agreed to donor sperm back up (using his bro as a known donor) so it looks like we are now on for IVF in June!
At first, I thought the issue was with me, not him, as I only have a 10-11 day LP. My RE expects me to be a poor responder, based on u/s results, even though I am 29 and my FSH is 7.9, so he wants me on the antagonist protocol.
I may get in on a subcutaneous progesterone clinical trial, which would make the meds free and save me from my feared IM injections.
Has anyone beeon on an antagonist protocol? If so, why? Did it work for you?
Thanks for reading, and I look forward to getting to know you better!

We also had male factor and had great success with TESE/ICSI. At first we thought the issue was all DH but I was found to have PCOS, so tons of eggs but not the best quality. I'm glad it looks like you might be able to skip the IM injections, not my favorite part of the process for sure :)
This will all be worth it, Good luck!

Most recent performance
There are currently no scheduled performances of Cubanía. It was last on stage 21–23 July 2014 as part of the Summer 2013/14 season.
Royal Ballet Principal Guest Artist Carlos Acosta curates and stars in an exciting mixed programme of dance inspired by his homeland. The first half of the evening sees Acosta collaborate with two Cuban dance stars, Miguel Altunaga and George Céspedes. Acosta dances the world premiere of Altunaga's Derrumbe, while Céspedes stages his thrilling La ecuación. Acclaimed Cuban dancer Alexander Varona dances Russell Maliphant's Flux, followed by a world premiere from the acclaimed dance group Danza Contemporánea de Cuba. The first half concludes with Edwaard Liang's Sight Unseen, danced by Acosta and Zenaida Yanowsky to music by Arvo Pärt.
In the second half of the evening Acosta presents his Tocoroco Suite, a selection of highlights from his hugely popular 2003 dance work completely re-imagined for the Royal Opera House main stage. Acosta is joined by members of Danza Contemporánea as he weaves a part-autobiographical narrative told through classical, contemporary and Afro-Cuban dance – all to the accompaniment of a live house band.

The ACS technicians were courteous and arrived on time. Rugs were delivered back to us in beautiful condition. The colors are vivid and bright again, and no evidence of pet issues remains. I would not hesitate to use ACS again, and I highly recommend their services. Ultimately, the price was very fair for the value delivered."

J&J Issues Tylenol Recalls
TheStreet) --
Johnson & Johnson's
(JNJ) McNeil Consumer Healthcare division is recalling certain lots of Tylenol 8 Hour, Tylenol Arthritis Pain and Tylenol upper respiratory products as a precautionary measure.
J&J said the recall is part of a review of past production where instances of inefficient equipment cleaning was found.
J&J is also recalling certain lots of Benadryl, Sudafed and Sinutab products for the same reason, all at the wholesale level, and said this doesn't require action by consumers.The products were distributed in the U.S., the Caribbean and Brazil and were made at the McNeil plant in Fort Washington, Pa before Apr. 2010, when production at the facility was suspended pending investigations over the unit's manufacturing practices and recalls.
McNeil said it's also recalling lots of Rolaids Multi-Symptom Berry Tablets, distributed in the U.S., in order to update the labeling. According to the company, the current labeling does not include the words, "does not meet USP." USP, or The United States Pharmacopeia, is a non-governmental testing method for medicines that is not required by FDA for the sale of medicines, J&J said. Shares of J&J were falling 0.2% to $62.40 shortly after the market open Tuesday.

Samsung Galaxy S3: 50GB Free Dropbox Offer Does Not available for Verizon and AT&T models
- Sunday, June 10, 2012, 18:14
- News
- Add a comment
If you are planning to purchase Samsung's latest model, then you might need to reconsider buying the smartphone from Verizon Wireless and AT&T as the two major U.S. carriers have excluded from 50GB free Dropbox promotional offer.
According to official Dropbox customer support page, AT&T and Verizon will not be offering the free Gigabytes of cloud storage to Galaxy S3 owner. However, the reason behind ditching Dropbox promotional offer is unknown. This move looks little contrary as both these carriers are ditching unlimited data plans.
"Select carriers have opted-out of the promotion on phones otherwise eligible. Unfortunately, AT&T and Verizon are among these carriers not currently participating," said Dropbox on one of Help Center webpage.
The exact reason behind AT&T and Verizon ditching Dropbox's promotional offer is unknown. However, it is speculated that either one or both of these carriers are planning to launch its own cloud storage solution. The local cloud storage solution is believed to go up in second half of this year.
Samsung Galaxy S3 is currently up for preorders at both these carrier, while it will launch by the end of June or in first week of July. Anyhow, the Galaxy S3 will land at AT&T and Verizon after June 20.
The smartphone packs 4.8-inch Super AMOLED display with 720p HD resolution. It runs dual-core 1.5 GHz Snapdragon processor with 2GB of RAM. The device comes with 16/32GB of internal storage with microSD support up to 64GB. In case of AT&T, recent rumors suggest that the carrier is planning to include 16GB microSD card in the package.
The device is available in Europe where the Galaxy S3 owners get extra 48GB of free cloud storage above the regular 2GB bar when signing in through the pre-loaded Dropbox app. In case 50GB of free cloud storage really counts for you, there are some other carriers that will be getting Samsung Galaxy S3. Fortunately, the device is coming to all major U.S. carriers with T-Mobile and Sprint in the list.

Around the remote: 'Oprah'
|Singer Whitney Houston, left, and her daughter Bobbi Kristina in 2011. (AP Photo/Dan Steinberg)
In an exclusive interview on "Oprah's Next Chapter," Bobbi Kristina, daughter of the late Whitney Houston, shares personal memories of her mother.
Also, other members of the family, including sister-in-law and manager Patricia Houston, and Whitney's brother, Gary, address the rumors surrounding the pop star's death. 9 p.m. Sunday, OWN.
Also next week:
SUNDAY: "Harry's Law," David E. Kelly's offbeat legal drama, moves to a new night and serves up a case in which Harry (Kathy Bates) finds herself in a courtroom scuffle against a lawyer from her past. 8 p.m., NBC.
MONDAY: It's decision time for hunky, mop-top wine maker Ben Flajnik on "The Bachelor." And if he picks Courtney (aka Cruella de Vil), we expect large blunt objects to be hurled at television sets all across America. 8 p.m., ABC.
TUESDAY: In an extraordinary surge of creativity, some brilliant programmer decided that, yes, the nation needs another fashion-centric show. And so we have "Fashion Star," a reality series hosted by Elle Macpherson that gives unknown designers a chance to launch their collections with major retailers. 9:30 p.m., NBC.
WEDNESDAY: "Interior Therapy With Jeff Lewis" is a new reality series that has the real estate maven revamping residences while also trying to transform the lives of their owners for the better. We're guessing that the only "patients" he accepts have big, fat bank accounts. 9 p.m., Bravo.
THURSDAY: When NBC left the underappreciated "Community" off its midseason schedule, fans flew into a rage. And who can blame them? If there was ever a time to rally around "Community," it's now, as lackluster ratings make it a candidate for cancellation when the season ends. 8 p.m. Thursday, NBC.
THURSDAY: If you can envision Ashley Judd as a kick-butt action star who can punch your lights out with ease, "Missing" might be your kind of show. It's a drama starring Judd as a former CIA operative determined to take down the thugs who abducted her teen son in Europe. 8 p.m., ABC.
THURSDAY: Prime time becomes a little less sleazy and dumb tonight when "Jersey Shore" finally ends its season. The reprieve will be short-lived, though, as a spin off — "The Pauly D Project" — is set to debut later this month. 10 p.m., MTV.
FRIDAY: Kate Reed (Sarah Shahi), the hottest mediator on TV, returns for Season 2 of "Fairly Legal," and changes are afoot. A new lawyer hunk (Ryan Johnson) is in town, paving the way for a juicy love triangle between him, Kate and her almost-ex, Justin (Michael Trucco). 9 p.m., USA.
SATURDAY: Holy shamrocks! In the TV film, "Leprechaun's Revenge," an evil leprechaun goes on a rampage in a small town because someone stole his gold. Billy Zane and William Devane have the pleasure of starring in this high-prestige production. 9 p.m., Syfy.

India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni was left frustrated by a number of 'soft dismisals' after his side relinquished their series lead with a heavy defeat to England at the Ageas Bowl on Thursday.
Dhoni, who revealed that injured pace bowler Ishant Sharma will miss the fourth Test at Old Trafford, was frustrated by his side losing flurries of wickets at key times during the third Test.
England racked up 569-7 declared in their first-innings and India responded with 330 before being skittled for just 178 in 66.4 overs in their second knock.
"I don't think we played good cricket early on," he told Sky Sports.
"There were quite a few soft dismissals, that phase when Jinks (Ajinkya Rahane) got out and a couple of others fell had a big impact on the game.
"And I think last night, that last session had a big impact. We lost a few wickets and a few of them were soft dismissals. Without that session we would have been facing a different game.
"I think we played the fast bowlers well, Moeen bowled well but we let him bowl well. It's important to be positive against spinners."

So over the weekend J and I had a "Therapy Day", to be honest we both needed it for different reasons.
We spent the whole day doing stuff together, we did some food therapy, used Theraputty, drew pictures, blew bubbles, did puzzles and even did some painting. It was a very busy and pretty tiring day but it was just what we both needed. J was very relaxed after his day of "therapy" and spent some time relaxing with Mario and then playing with his Dad before going off to bed. Whilst he was playing Mario I started writing some things down, just to clear my head. And then once he'd gone to bed I wrote some more. I wrote from the heart, as I've said before I'm not great with feelings but I like to write things out. I have a few more appointments coming up over the next month that I hope will give me some answers and maybe a little more hope……….. who knows maybe they'll even start to heal the mind games and grief that's troubling me at the moment.
But anyhow, this is what I wrote …………….
I don't know if I can, I don't know if I dare
Open my heart to begin to share
How I'm screaming inside, how I really feel
Because then I have to admit what's happened, it's real
I try so hard to lock my feelings inside
But sometimes they're too overwhelming for me to hide
The emptiness inside fills my heart with pain
As the thoughts in my head drive me insane
So many thoughts going through my mind
Trying to understand why life's so unkind
But as the words go around they hurt my head
And inside I feel nothing, I'm empty, I'm dead
To lose one baby too soon broke my heart
But to lose five more has torn me apart
My heart's trying so very hard to understand
Why we'll never get to hold their hands
It doesn't make sense, I keep thinking "why not?"
And then "Should we be happy with what we've got?"
But maybe, just maybe I want a repeat of the joy
That I get each and everyday from my special boy
But there's a pain inside, the scars run deep
It overflows and wounds begin to weep
I don't know what to do, again do we try?
How? When all of our hope has run dry
Starting From The Beginning…………Again!

I'm so cross today! We took J to his Peadiatrician appointment today. Our letter told us that although we were going to the same clinic that we had been to previously and had seen a Peadiatrician who had refused to diagnose ASD (and in fact told us that was nothing unusual about his behaviour asking if I had considered that I may be depressed!!), we would be seeing a different peadiatrician…………….So image how our hearts sunk when that very same peadiatrician called his name!! As soon as I saw Dr W I knew that today's appointment would be a complete waste of time!
I could feel my heart pounding, my hands shaking and my eyes starting to well up as soon as we entered the consultation room. I just knew that the uphill battle we were already facing had gotten even steeper!
Basically we were told again that just because he was diagnosed with ASD in Australia, that doesn't necessarily mean that he is on the spectrum! That the paperwork we had brought with us didn't really mean much! And that we have to start from the beginning all over again…………….Yep we have to go through the whole assessment and diagnosis process all over again!!!
I don't think I can put into words how cross we felt when we left the clinic. She might as well of told us that everything we had done over the past 2 years had been a complete waste of everyone's time and energy! That we had wasted the last 2 years of our son's life! And that we were just rubbish parents who couldn't cope with a difficult child!
In all fairness the school that we chose for J have been fairly supportive and say they will do what they can to support us in getting J some support at school. J's teacher and aide are also attending a course about how to support a child with Autism……………but a UK diagnosis was going to help them in their quest to get him support so much. We've also been told that we needed a UK diagnosis in order for the school to access advice and support from the Autism Outreach Team. So their hands are tied, there isn't much more they can do without a UK diagnosis.
So where do we go from here?…………….I guess we have no choice but to start from the beginning again! :(
A Mixed Bag………..

We've had 2 meetings this week both of which have created a mixed bag of emotions.
The first meeting was with a new OT, The OT and Speechy that we were seeing at the end of last year was a complete waste of time. Alot of our funding was used up and no progress was made, no sensory diet created………nothing. We were under the impression that this was one of the only places in our area to go, that accepted the funding, however at the beginning of this year we found a wonderful new Speech Therapist who in a short space of time has already helped a great deal and J responded well to her. It was her that gave us the details for J's new OT, yes we will be seeing her again!
The OT that we met with was very switched on and (we felt) knew exactly what she was talking about and within 10 minutes of observing J whilst talking to us she had already picked up on a couple of J's quirks/issues. (very impressed) During our hour with her she discussed the possibility hat J may have some ear problems that we should look into, he gets alot of ear infections and that along with a few of his "issues" could mean that there is a problem. This raised alarm bells with us because as a baby J was admitted to hospital overnight because he was unwell, when the Doctor "did his rounds" the next morning we were told that J had a narrow ear canal but because he was so small it would "sort itself out", so ofcourse we are now asking ourselves if we should have pushed to investigate it further and if it is related to some of his ear issues now. The same Doctor also did some tests on J's gut (that was the reason he was admitted overnight) and we were told that his bowel was slightly twisted but again because he was so small "it would sort itself out". The OT that we met with this week feels that J could also have some gut problems, and so again we are wondering if we should have pushed to have it investigated further at the time…….. I guess when the experts tell you it will be ok you believe (or want to) that they know what they're talking about and so leave it at that. *sigh* Anyhow she has recommended that we see our GP and get a referral to a Dietician/Nutritionist, an Allergist and to get his ears sorted. Unfortunately we don't have the best GP and so before we can sort all of the above out I have to search out a new GP……………..asap! On the upside we were very impressed with the new OT and despite it being abit of a drive to see her we will definitely be going back to her :)
Our second meeting this week was not so great………………………. you've guessed it …………. the school!
It started badly when it was assumed Hubby would be outside playing with J and not part of the meeting…………….. he became a little cross at this suggestion and let rip at the Psychologist who went outside to chat to him. I should point out at this point that this was Psychologist who had been invited to the meeting despite the fact that she had never met any of us before and as nice as she was, she didn't know any of us or anything about our situation. Also attending the meeting was the Principal, who had also never met any of us before, (I guess in a school so big it would be hard to know every pupil but since they get extra funding because J attends you would think they might make an effort to know who the special kids are that they are getting the extra funding for).
Anyhow once Hubby and everyone else was inside the meeting began. We tried to explain some of the issues we had been having and some of the things that J had told us but yet again felt like we had wasted 90 minutes. We told them that J had informed us that *Billy* had been mean to him and was bullying him, the response we got was smiles and nods……………. if they know it's happening why haven't they addressed this issue?!?!?! We went through various issues with them and basically got the general feeling that we weren't being listened to at all. We felt like we were going around in circles…………………… To wrap the meeting up the Principal asked if they were to work on the food thing and if that was what they should be doing………………….. I responded with "Well just getting him to school should be first!" Do you see why we felt we weren't listened to at all, how on earth did she get that his food issues were something to be worked on first when we had been explaining some of J's issues with school and just how much he doesn't want to go school and some of the behaviour we receive as a result of him not wanting to go to school?!?!?
Anyhow, we're now counting down the days until we go to see the Surgeon about Hubby's back and hoping for good news, (although the way this year is going so far, maybe we're hoping for too much). After we have seen the Surgeon and we know what's going on with Hubby's back we will be making some important decisions about our future. If we get the good news that we are hoping for J may be ending his time at that school sooner rather than later and when we are searching for his new school we will be taking with us a list of questions to ask the school and a tick sheet of requirements, (smaller class sizes will be top of the list, as this is one of J's biggest issues with his Prep class). Until then we just carry on as we are and wait and see……………………….
Oh and J is off school again today, because when you've been up most of the night and you feel the way that Hubby and I are feeling about the school, when you have your child screaming, crying (real tears, not the temper tantrum type) and physically begging you not to make him go to school, you're just too tired and heartbroken to fight………….. what would you do?…………………………….. maybe I should ask his teachers that next week!
Sometimes Things Happen For A Reason……… Right?
Posted in anxiety, feelings, grief, health, life, loss, miscarriage, parenting, pregnancy, why?, tagged children, Family, Feelings, grief, health, life, loss, miscarriage, parenting, pregnancy on March 24, 2011 | 12 Comments »
I've always thought that things always happen for a reason. Sometimes things happen that we don't want to happen but that's part of life, some of us are luckier than others but still everything happens for a reason……….. right?
Almost 13 years ago I sat holding my Granddad's hand and watched him peacefully pass away. That morning I had been told not to go to the hospital because he had had a rough night and needed to rest. Well I've never been one to do as I'm told and if my Granddad had had a rough night then I wanted to be there with him, so I went to the hospital anyway. My Granddad was my father figure growing up and whilst I felt my heart getting ripped from my chest when he died I managed to hold it together long enough to make the call to my Mum, who was with my beloved Nan. That was it, the reason I'd been there that morning, so that I could be there with him, so that I could be the person to tell those that mattered the devastating news rather than a stranger calling them but most importantly so that my Nan could take a little comfort in the knowledge that he wasn't alone.
A week after my Granddad died, (around the time of his funeral), I discovered I was pregnant, it was my 3rd pregnancy so I was very cautious with my feelings. Around the same time my cousin also discovered that she was pregnant. Unfortunately I again went on to miscarry however my cousin went on to have a healthy baby boy, who looks, (in my opinion), very much like my Granddad. So whilst we were forced to say goodbye to my Granddad, maybe it was to make way for my Nephew…………. afterall everything happens for a reason, right?
When I said goodbye to my Nan I thought it would be something that I could never recover from. My Nan was my world and I would have gladly given my life for hers. When she died my world stopped for a while…………….. then I discovered that I was pregnant again, (5th pregnancy). Despite the usual cautiousness with my feelings something felt different this time around, I felt that this baby was my Nan's final gift to me and that she was watching over us to ensure a safe arrival. I had various difficulties during the pregnancy and J was born a month early by emergency cesarean but he was and is perfect. I still miss my Nan everyday and I'm sure I will for the rest of my life but I take a little comfort in my belief that everything happens for a reason. Maybe she had to say goodbye to us so that she could watch over J as he entered the world, I often wonder if she knew what the future held. And maybe we had to go through the pain of the previous miscarriages so that when J entered our lives we would really appreciate just how special he was and would love him all the more, (if that's possible).
So I've been thinking alot recently about my belief in "things happen for a reason" and I just can't see it right now. I can't see what possible "reason" there would be for us to go through another loss, surely we've had our fair share! We've had a variety of tests done now, my arm is beginning to feel like a pin cushion, the results of which we're still waiting on. But what's really not helping is the way the hospital seem to be dragging things out. It's too hard to go into details but right now we're in limbo…………. I'm not miscarrying in the usual way (whatever that means!!!), no-one wants to do the necessary surgery until certain tests results come back but there's only so long they can wait………….. it just seems to be going on and on. Do they not realise we can't move on until certain decisions have been made …………….. and I have a very confused little man at home wondering what's going on, wondering if his mummy has to stay in hospital or not and asking questions like "will you come home from hospital?"
I just wish someone could give us some answers because right now I really can't understand why all of this is happening to us.
Where Do I Start?
Posted in feelings, grief, health, life, love, Me, miscarriage, parenting, pregnancy, support, why?, tagged children, Family, Feelings, friendship, grief, health, life, loss, me, miscarriage, parenting, pregnancy, support on March 17, 2011 | 15 Comments »
It's a good question, one that I'm not sure of the answer to. I've not posted for a few days now and I may be quiet for a while longer, right now my head and my heart are feeling a little scattered, I'm hoping by writing it all down I can release some of the feelings I'm trying to keep on top of.
This month I discovered that I was pregnant and to say that it was a shock would be an understatement. As well as shock the news came with a huge bag of mixed emotions. On one hand very happy and excited that we could be welcoming a new addition to our family but on the other hand fear and dread. Those of you that have read my blog for a while will know that my hubby and I had 4 miscarriages before we welcomed J into our life. So once the shock had sunk in the next emotion felt was fear……………… fear of what might happen, fear of how we'll cope if we lost another baby, fear of how we'd deal with J wondering what's going on, (he can usually sense when Mummy is sad or if something is wrong), just plain old fear! Only for a brief moment did I start to think about how exciting and how wonderful it would be to welcome a brother or sister for J into our life, then the fear started to creep back into my head and my heart.
We were instructed to go for an early ultrasound due to my history and as we entered the door to the ultrasound room we wondered what the next 10 minutes would bring. The sonographer was chatty and very pleasant so we wondered if things were starting to look good but then we got "the look" and she told us that she was concerned and that we had to return in a couple of weeks for another scan. At that point we knew something was wrong but she had not explained her concerns so all we could do was cling to the small piece of hope that we had left.
All of that hope was taken away the following morning……………… my doctor rang me to explain that he had the results of the ultrasound and it didn't look good, (I'm sorry but this is pretty hard to write and I simply can't and don't want to go into details). He told me I had to have more blood tests and return to see him after 2 working days. After returning to see him he told us that the first results had not come back as he had expected and I would have to repeat the tests. Today those results came back and the doctor told us the bad news. Tomorrow I would have to go see the specialists at the hospital because I was indeed going to miscarry. I can't put into words how I felt, how I feel. It was an incredibly devastating blow. All of the feelings felt too many times before came flooding back tenfold and then on top of those feelings came the fear and worry of how we were going to cope and explain things to J. Each miscarriage has resulted in a hospital stay and a period of rest afterwards, I've never even spent one night away from him. How do you explain to any child, let alone a child with ASD that Mummy can't put him to bed or come to him in the night when he yells out because I have a poorly tummy and have to go to hospital, how do we explain that without creating huge anxieties. Then more devastation swept over me when the realisation hit me, not only is all of this happening but it's happening around J's birthday, I can't ruin his birthday he's so incredibly excited, how could I do that to him?!?!
I'm very lucky and have made some wonderful friends here in Oz. Friends who for the past week or so have offered help, support and understanding, but most importantly have cared. Thankyou to you lovely ladies, you know who you are xx
I'm sorry if I've "gone on abit" but I don't know how else to get some of these feelings out, writing is a powerful tool in trying to help me understand and come to terms with everything that's happening at the moment. x
First There Was Hope

Today began with so much hope. Firstly J only woke up once during the night, (he decided that he wanted to get up but I managed to convince him to go back to sleep just for a little while longer), and for the first time in ages I actually got a total of around 6 hours sleep, so was feeling a little less tired this morning. Secondly J ate his breakfast without argument, (doesn't happen very often), and got dressed once again without argument. Then he asked if he could make a bracelet, he likes to play with my beads so I thought why not……. he sat (yes still, in one place!) for almost an hour making not one but 2 bracelets and playing with beads. I couldn't believe it, whilst helping him, some of the beads were a little tricky for him to thread, I actually managed to have and enjoy a quiet cup of coffee. Then he asked if he could play with his "clay" (putty), but after 10 minutes decided he'd had enough and it was too sticky, but no meltdown. He then really surprised us and asked to do a painting, not wanting to miss an opportunity for him to willingly get messy I quickly got the paints and brushes out. He painted 4 pictures and then declared that he needed to go in the bath because he was dirty………………… That's when it all began to change!
First he had issues with the temperature of the water, then he decided to empty half the bath onto the floor, the walls, the cabinet and anywhere else he could make it reach! Then had meltdown when he got out the bath, apparently there was still a drop of water in the bath and I had taken him out of the bath too early!
Since getting out of the bath, we have issues with what he wanted to eat, do, watch on TV and so on. He's been screaming randomly, throwing chairs, hitting, kicking, shouting, biting and climbing on the table. I just don't understand what's going on with him this week.
We usually have a few meltdowny days then a couple of "good" days but this week it's just been one meltdowny day after another and I'm tearing my hair out!!! It's so frustrating not knowing what to do with him, how to help him or understand why he's doing what he's doing, what it is that has him feeling this way and so on…………..
Maybe it's the weather, maybe it's all the new rules, maybe it was going away, maybe it's all the new people he's been seeing……….I just don't know…………… I'm just hoping that tomorrow it's going to be better………………… fingers crossed

There is no way that I can record a chapter on creating a Facebook personal account without talking about privacy. Privacy is probably the most critical issue having to do with Facebook that anybody ever talks about, and the problem is that you think that nobody can see what it is that you're writing, nobody can see your contact information, nobody can see your bio except for your friends, and that is not the default situation with Facebook. I think it used to be, but not anymore. So I'm sure that the Facebook Essentials title here on lynda.com covers privacy in a lot of detail. But if you are not watching that and you're actually creating your Facebook account from scratch along with me here, let me veer a little bit and tell you about privacy and what it is that you should be changing.
We want everyone see what you write on your Facebook pages, and we'll be creating pages later on in this title, but for your personal account, you probably don't want everybody to be able to see everything you post. So to change your privacy settings from a default, or to check to see what they are right now, go to the Account tab at the upper-right, click it, and choose Privacy Settings. The recommended Privacy Settings is that everyone who happens to go by your page on Facebook, even if they don't have a Facebook account themselves, can see your current status--that's all of your posts--and any photos, your biography, and quotations.
If you've said like two or three people on Facebook where your brother and sister and mother and father, it's like you can set up special friends called family members, they can see who that is. If anybody tagged you in a photo or video, then not just your friends can see that, but also their friends. It's not quite as bad as everyone in the known universe, but sometimes you might have a friend that has 500 friends and you don't know any of them. If that friend happens to tag you in a photo, then all of their friends can see that photo, so you might not want that to be true--and all these you can change.
To change the settings, click Customize Settings. And for example, your posts you might want to say not Everyone can see it, but Only Friends. Or you could come here to Customize and say the only people who can see this would be specific people. And remember, we did this when we talked in the last video about lists is that you can enter a list, so you can say only family can see these things by default. You can add more than one list, so if you have family and colleagues and close friends, if you made multiple lists, you can say that.
You include all of those lists if you wanted to. I'm actually going to delete that and instead, I usually just say Friends Only. Now, this will change the defaults for the things that you do, but you are always given the opportunity to override that default whenever you make a post or tag somebody in a picture and so on. So who knows your family members on Facebook, again, you can changes to Friends Only and Relationships, and so on. If you don't want everybody in the world to know what your web site is, you can change that, and then you can continue using the same kind of interface to change all these other settings.
When you're done making changes, you don't need to click Save. They've automatically become your new settings. And if you want to see what that looks like, you can click Preview My Profile to see what a stranger might see. But I definitely recommend that you change a lot of these settings from the default, Everyone, to your own custom settings.

We have a simple solution of how we know what to get each other for Christmas each year. What we do is post a list of what we want. The list can be specific (a 46" LED Panasonic TV model number xxxyy) or general (gift certificate to Nordstrom's). It is a guideline and not hard and fast. But it sure helps everyone know where the other person's desires are.
So for my gift, I listed a Galco SkyOps holster for a Glock 26 in black. (Thank you Ram Rod for your recommendation.) Even printed out two online sources with all the important details highlighted. My daughter's response was, "uh, er, too expensive". My son's response was, "uh dad, you already have a drawer full of holsters. I am NOT buying you another to be put there. What else do you want?"
What else do I want? I don't know. I really wanted that holster. Ugh.
