Interoperable systems can make us more efficient by lowering the human effort involved in sharing data between and among systems. Ad-ID is involved in a variety of media and entertainment interoperability efforts to vastly improve the tracking and measurement on online assets across all platforms and the entire advertising supply chain.
Ad-ID is involved in interoperability efforts with the Advanced Media Workflow Association (AMWA), Coalition for Innovative Media Measurement (CIMM), Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB), The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) and The Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP). For further information about Ad-ID interoperability efforts, please contact Ad-ID Chief Growth Officer, Harold Geller (email@example.com).
Ad-ID offers Representational State Transfer (RESTful) web services for both the creation, and retrieval of Ad-ID data. Documentation of these web services can be requested here.
There are two main classifications of Ad-ID metadata, the "full", and "slate metadata". The "slate metadata" primarily consists of the mandatory fields, and those which are important to interoperability, i.e. audio / color specifications, or video formatting (AFD). The Ad-ID XML schema Definition (XSD) of "slate metadata" is published here.
Complete External Access (CEA) provides approved companies with access to all Ad-ID codes and metadata in the Ad-ID system. Companies using CEA must know the Ad-ID code they are looking for in order to read the associated metadata. CEA simplifies the process by which advertisers and agencies share the advertising identification data required by media networks for cross-platform commercial management and other operational necessities. Ad-ID information cannot be modified in any way through CEA. More detailed information about CEA can be found here. The CEA specifications can be found here.
Advanced Media Workflow Association (AMWA) focuses on file-based workflows to benefit content creators including film, television, advertising, Internet and post-production professionals, to enable content creators to easily exchange digital media and metadata across platforms.
The AMWA strives for compatibility between AAF (Advanced Authoring Format), BXF (Broadcast eXchange Format), Material eXchange Format (MXF) and Extensible Markup Language (XML).
AMWA AS-12 is an MXF format optimized for the delivery of finished commercials to broadcast stations. AS-12 adds advertising identification metadata to an advertisement contained in compliant MXF files. AS-12 supports Ad-ID for the United States market. More information about AS-12 is available here.
Coalition for Innovative Media Measurement (CIMM) membership includes leading television content providers, media agencies and advertisers with a mandate to promote innovation in audience measurement for television and cross-platform media by exploring and identifying new methodologies and approaches to audience measurement through proof-of-concept pilot studies with independent measurement companies.
TAXI – Trackable Asset Cross-Platform Identification is a CIMM initiative designed to spark widespread adoption of existing open-standard asset registries (EIDR and Ad-ID) for professional video content and advertising. More information about CIMM-TAXI is available here. Read Why Ad-ID is important for Audience Measurement here.
Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) The Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) empowers the media and marketing industries to thrive in the digital economy. It is comprised of more than 650 leading media and technology companies that are responsible for selling, delivering, and optimizing digital advertising or marketing campaigns. Together, they account for 86 percent of online advertising in the United States. Working with its member companies, IAB develops technical standards and best practices and fields critical research on interactive advertising, while also educating brands, agencies, and the wider business community on the importance of digital marketing.
The IAB Technology Laboratory is an independent, international, nonprofit research and development consortium charged with producing and helping companies implement global industry technical standards. Comprised of digital publishers and ad technology firms, as well as marketers, agencies, and other companies with interests in the interactive marketing arena, the IAB Tech Lab's goal is to reduce friction associated with the digital advertising and marketing supply chain, while contributing to the safe and secure growth of the industry.
VAST is a Video Ad Serving Template for structuring ad tags that serve ads to video players. It is a part of the IAB TechLab's VSUITE video ad specifications. Using an XML schema, VAST transfers important metadata about an ad from the ad server to a video player. Initially launched in 2008, VAST has since played an important role in the growth of the digital video marketplace. With VAST4.0 (released in Jan 2016), the focus has been on improving the quality of Video ads by adding support for features like Server Side Ad Insertion, Mezzanine file support and Universal Ad-Id. The Ad-ID is used to provide a unique creative identifier that is maintained and tracked across all systems.
International Digital Enterprise Alliance (IDEAlliance) advances core technology to develop standards and best practices to enhance efficiency and speed information across the end-to-end digital media supply chain - creation, production, management and delivery of knowledge-based multimedia content - digitally and in print. More information about IDEAlliance is available here.
The IDEAlliance ADAM specification is at the center of the cross platform publishing workflow, called Media Workflow, which specifies the fields to be used by ad portals and embedded in the PDF using XMP. Included are fields that are derived from Ad-ID. Marrying standardized, unique digital asset identification such as Ad-ID with XMP helps reap the full benefits of file-based magazine advertising workflows. More information about ADAM is available here.
IDEAlliance PRISM 3.0 defines XML metadata fields and controlled vocabularies for managing, aggregating and delivering publishing content for magazines. This new document features advertising metadata elements drawn from AdsML, the Ghent Workgroup and Ad-ID.
The PRISM Advertising Metadata Specification includes references to unique identifier, and refers to Ad-ID. More information about PRISM is available here.
The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE), is the leading technical society for the motion imaging industry.
Ad-ID is defined at SMPTE with a Registered Disclosure Document (RDD-17:2009) which which describes the Ad-ID platform. More information about RDD-17:2009 can be found here. Ad-ID also holds a SMPTE class 13 metadata node, which contains various Universal Labels related to the Ad-ID schema.
SMPTE's BXF 3.0 released in Q4 of 2013, will introduce revolutionary advertising workflow improvements to the business, with Ad-ID as a central component. BXF 3.0 consists of three SMPTE documents, including the new SMPTE RP 2021-5, which provides recommended methods of "Using Ad-ID and EIDR as alternate identifiers in SMPTE BXF and ATSC PMCP". BXF 3.0 also has at is core an updated set of schema, which allows a standardized means for ad agencies to provide traffic instructions to media outlets. This is a first in advertising, where these traffic instructions are currently exchanged in a completely manual way via fax and email attachments.
Without Ad-ID, this dramatic improvement in advertising workflows would not be possible. It is expected that real-world implementations of capabilities found in BXF 3.0 will begin to appear very soon after its publication by SMPTE in its online store in late 2013.
The Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) is an ISO standard, originally created by Adobe Systems Inc., for the creation, processing and interchange of standardized and custom metadata for all kinds of resources.
XMP standardizes a data model, a serialization format and core properties for the definition and processing of extensible metadata. It also provides guidelines on how XMP should be embedded into a number of popular image, video and document file formats (e.g. JPEG and PDF) without breaking their readability by applications that aren't aware of XMP.
Ad‐ID and Adobe have collaborated on the development of the Ad-ID Digital Ad Slate for XMP Version 1.0.

Special Series:
The War On Banks
President Obama and his party say they're committed to bailing out homebuyers "tricked" into taking out subprime mortgages. But the story of subprime victimization is as fictional as it is prevalent.
And no one has exploited it more than the Obama administration.
When the vice president recently warned a gathering of black voters in Virginia that a Romney presidency would let Wall Street "chain" them again to "abusive" subprime loans, he racially amped up the false narrative. "They're gonna put y'all back in chains," Joe Biden said with trademark hyperbole.
Obama's new credit watchdog Richard Cordray recently maligned home lenders as racist "pickpockets" who stole the wealth of minorities. And Newark Mayor Cory Booker last month assured Democrat delegates in Charlotte, N.C., that Obama will protect them against the "injustice" of "predatory lending."
He echoed Democrats' platform statement, which alleged banks on Wall Street "stacked the deck against ordinary Americans."
"Families were enticed and sometimes tricked into buying homes they couldn't afford," it claimed. Because banks sought to "punish millions of innocent Americans," it promised Obama will continue to punish banks in a second term.
To hear Democrats, cruel bankers laid in wait for unsuspecting minorities and hustled them into their lobbies. There they forced them to sign costly loans they knew they had no prayer of ever paying back — just so they could one day foreclose on them.
Now for a reality check:
1. While blacks and Latinos took out a disproportionate share of subprime loans in the runup to the financial crisis — targeted as they were by Washington's affordable-housing policies — federal studies show the so-called "abusive" terms of these loans were not the reason minority borrowers defaulted. The problem, the government found, was bad credit habits.
As subprime borrowers began defaulting in droves in late 2007, for instance, the Federal Reserve analyzed more than 300,000 loans — both prime and subprime — to see if higher interest rates and fees were behind the wave of defaults.
It found that blacks and Latinos on average had higher delinquency rates than Asians and whites — regardless of their income level or the type of loan they received. They underperformed other groups whether repaying a subprime or prime loan.
"Loan terms and interest rates explain virtually none of the differences in performance by race," the Fed study concluded. A separate Cleveland Fed study found that subprime adjustable and "teaser" rates were not a factor in defaults.
So defaults weren't a function of "greedy" brokers "steering" or "teasing" poor minorities into loans they couldn't afford. They were just a function of these borrowers not honoring their debts.
2. Which brings up another harsh truth: Many borrowers took out subprime mortgages with no intention of paying them back.
Examples of deadbeat borrowers are legion. But the story of Veronica Peterson of Baltimore is poignant. On the verge of losing her home, Acorn and the media portrayed her as a victim of "predatory lending."
Only, the single mother on child support took out two loans to buy a $545,000 house and in effect squatted in it for two years, making virtually none of her $4,450-a-month mortgage payments.
3. Also, more than half the subprime mortgages before the crisis were originated to refinance existing mortgages into larger ones and to take cash out of home equity, which had built up from escalating home values. Borrowers greedily bought new toys or went on exotic cruises, while racking up more debt.
Detroit's April Williams lost her home to foreclosure after such a refi. Acorn held her up as another subprime "victim," and the media had another sob story.
But it turns out she and her husband already owned their house and used cash from a bigger loan to buy stainless-steel kitchen appliances, a koi pond and a Lincoln Navigator. They had financial problems even before taking out the bigger loan they ultimately couldn't afford.
While there's plenty of blame to go around in the subprime crisis, the notion that all subprime lenders were "unscrupulous" and bilked minority borrowers into signing on the dotted line doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

A teddy-bear dangled over the Waikato River sparked an emergency callout this morning after a person mistook it for a human body.
A passerby on the opposite bank below Awatere Ave spotted the stuffed toy dangling head-first from a tree branch about 11am, and called police.
The police boat was launched and officers quickly discovered the item was a large brown teddy bear.
It was left at the scene.

Citation: Oros, G., Nachman, R.J. 2003. Differential and developmental stage selective toxicity of a pentapeptide derivative to sunflower downy mildew pathogen. Scientific Bulletin of North University of Baia Mare. p. 401-406. Interpretive Summary: The work presented here represents a spin-off of research on the development of new, selective control measures based on insect neuropeptides (short chains of amino acids), which serve as potent messengers in insects to regulate vital functions. A metabolically stable insect neuropeptide mimic ('PPD') that had previously been found to disrupt critical life processes in a pest insect that targets agricultural crops was tested against a microbial disease that infects crops. The results demonstrate significant antifungal activity against the downy mildew that targets the sunflower, an important agricultural crop. This antimicrobial activity exceeds the effectiveness of the traditional antibiotic streptomycin, and this activity is greatly magnified in the presence of copper ions. The antimicrobial activity of the PPD/copper ion combination exceeds that of each one alone. Copper ions (the 'Bordeaux mixture') have been used for over 100 years to control fungal disease in crops, and peptide agents such as PPD, or related to PPD, could greatly enhance their effectiveness, leading to lower levels of copper in the environment. This work leads us one step closer to the development of peptide-like substances that will be effective in controlling certain microbial diseases of crops in an environmentally friendly fashion.
Technical Abstract: The activity of 2-amino-7-fluorenyl-succinamoyl-FTPRL-NH2 (PPD) against sunflower downy mildew pathogen was investigated with special regard to host independent ontogenetic stages. The size of the cells as well as the presence and structure of the cell wall apparently influenced the performance of PPD activity as the fungus showed a marked developmental stage dependent response to it: the cell-walled zoosporangia were more tolerant (MIC>1 micron), while the smallest cytospores MIC values were 0.03 micron. The early stages of zoosporogenesis were inhibited suggesting that PPD permeates the cell wall of zoosporangia. Functions regulating plasmalemma semipermeability were less sensitive (MIC~ 1 micron) of zoospores to PPD and Cu2+ ions. Those cells reacted rapidly, as the first observable changes occurred within 5-10 seconds after contact with the compound asserting a target site in the cell membrane. The inhibitory effect was manifested at the nanomolar level, indicating a highly specific binding affinity to the target site and highlighting the importance of the inhibited function for normal operation of the cell membrane. The overall lesson of our experiment is that the combination of microchemical methods with micro-techniques in screening lead to valuable toxicological data on the membrane-function disturbing activity of synthetic peptide analogues.

The trade gap shrank last month as dairy exports surged.
Imports exceeded exports by $168 million - less than half the deficit financial markets expected.
October's trade balance is always in the red but last month's deficit equated to 4 per cent of exports, the smallest that ratio has been in any October since 1996.
Exports at $4.2 billion were $783 million or 22.6 per cent higher than in October last year, despite a kiwi dollar at 5.6 per cent higher in trade-weighted terms.
Almost all of the increase is explained by a $717 million rise in dairy exports. That included a $626 million increase in milk powder exports, a rise of 133 per cent, which was largely price-driven, though volumes rose 42 per cent.
The trade deficit for the year shrank to $1 billion, from $1.6 billion in the year ended September and $2.1 billion in August.
Over the past year New Zealand achieved a surplus of $745 million in its trade with China, compared with a deficit of $3.9 billion five years ago when the free-trade agreement came into effect.
Forestry exports increased 22 per cent over the past year.
Imports at $4.4 billion were 5.7 per cent higher than in October last year, led by vehicles and mechanical equipment.
In the three months to October, imports of capital plant and machinery were 18 per cent up on the same period last year, which suggests businesses are following through on the intentions to lift investment that they have been reporting to business sentiment surveys for some time.
Car imports were 23 per cent higher.
Imports of consumer goods, by contrast, were up just 3 per cent on a year ago.
Deutsche Bank chief economist Darren Gibbs said that with dairy export revenues likely to continue to surge over coming months he expected the annual trade balance to move well into surplus by the middle of next year.
Together with forthcoming revisions to the historical balance of payments data Statistics New Zealand has signalled, this should mean that the current account deficit falls to around 3 per cent of gross domestic product by mid-2014 - levels last seen during the recession, he said.
"From there we would expect to see the deficit expand gradually as dairy prices recede somewhat from their current exceptionally high levels and as import volumes continue to expand."

Rihanna's New Single Title From Sixth Album Revealed
If the title of her next single is any indication, Rihanna's upcoming sixth album will be an upbeat, celebratory affair.
On Oct. 11, All Access reports, the Barbadian-born pop superstar drops 'We Found Love,' the lead single from her yet-untitled follow-up to last year's 'Loud.' The track was produced by Calvin Harris, the Scottish electro-pop whiz known for his work with Kylie Minogue and Dizzee Rascal, among others.
Little is known about RiRi's forthcoming record, and in a recent Twitter post, she cryptically described the theme as "GangstaR." While each of Rihanna's previous five albums have reached the top 10, her highest-charting LP, 2007's 'Good Girl Gone Bad,' peaked at No. 2. Now that she's 'Found Love,' will those good feelings carry her to the top slot? Time will tell.

News Details
The 29th April more than 25,000 milk producers rallied in Europe for fair milk prices
No end to protests. Fair framework conditions needed.
Hamm, 29 April 2009: More than 25,000 milk producers demonstrated today for fair milk prices in over ten European countries. Uniting under the slogan "Flexible volume regulation for fair milk prices", they urged politicians to create the requisite framework conditions. Milk producers rallied with tractors and dairy cows in front of political institutions and handed over letters of demand to members of parliament, ministers and heads of government.
Romuald Schaber, President of the European Milk Board, commented: "The excess supply of milk has resulted in existence-threatening milk prices in the whole EU. We urgently need to rebalance supply and demand. For dairy farmers to be able to do so in a coordinated way, politicians are called upon to adapt existing provisions."
All over Europe, excess supply of milk results in milk prices plummeting in free fall. The wrong decisions taken by politicians in 2008 are destroying one third of the value created on milk. Ernst Halbmayr, EMB Executive Committee member from Austria: "It is synonymous with destroying 100% of the farmers' income as producer prices of 25 cents leave no room for rewarding the farmers' work. De facto, the families no longer generate any income from producing milk."
Today's demonstrations were preceded by numerous protests in the whole of Europe. In early 2009 Greek, Latvian and Bulgarian farmers took to the streets to protest against unfair prices. 8,000 Slovak, Austrian, Polish, German, Hungarian, Slovenian and Lithuanian dairy farmers gathered in the Czech Republic in March. In April, more than 5,000 people rallied in Madrid to draw the public's attention to the disastrous situation in many areas of agriculture and the total lack of perspectives for farmers.
Sieta van Keimpema, member of the EMB Executive Committee from the Netherlands, says: "Milk requires stable framework conditions. It is a special product, it is available each day, and you cannot just stop production for a few days or weeks. When dairy farmers stop producing, they go out of production for good and the consumers in the respective region are no longer supplied with local milk."
Romuald Schaber: "Pursuing the liberalisation strategy means abandoning supply control and external protection. This constitutes a great danger, not only for farms, it also jeopardizes the provision of the population with high-quality products." The European dairy farmers are calling upon politicians to jointly elaborate a concept to preserve milk production in Europe in future. Other sectors (e.g. fisheries, sugar production or the energy industry) have long realized that certain framework conditions are needed to regulate production. Flexible supply control is necessary to ensure that the market brings about a milk price that is fair for both consumers and producers.
"Flexible volume regulation for fair milk prices"
This is the solution that was demanded by milk producers all over Europe today.

Help! I don't understand how to cast on mid-row. I am a continental knitter (and a fairly new one at that), and I do not get this very basic concept.
Occassionally in a pattern, I will see the instruction to knit along a row, and the cast on several stitches, and then continuing knitting. How do you cast on once you are dealing with live stitches in a work?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Move the R needle to the L hand, use a knit or cable CO (with the first st on the needle instead of a slipknot) then swap the needle back to the R hand and continue knitting.
you can find the instructions on how to do these cast ons in the "free videos" tab up top. Look under "cast on" and look up the ones, suzeeq told you about.
Thanks, All!
You can also use a backward loop cast on for this kind of situation. In that case you don't need to switch the needles in your hands, just throw backward loops over the right hand needle using the working yarn. I use that often but prefer the cable or knitted cast on if quite a few stitches are needed.

Corian Countertop Crack
Don't know exactly what brand of counter top it is, could be corian, LG, formica (not laminate), Samsung or any other solid surface. There is a crack from edge to the middle of the counter top. A contractor say he can grind it down and fill it with something so that it will be less visible. But I doubt it as it is a crack all the way down - at least on the edge.
Is this fixable? I believe solid surface type of countertop can be melted together seamlessly. But don't know how.
Need a picture----Is it an open seam? Of so,opening the crack with a grinder--filling and sanding the repair is standard practice.
Put a bag of ice over the crack. If it gets a little wider, your top is an acrylic based solid surface.
Check out this repair. It is simple, strong and usually invisible.
I hope this helps.
The crack can be seen from the edge all the way down vertically, on the surface it extends to the middle of the the countertop. So at least on the edge it cracked all the way down, but in the middle maybe just the surface. I won't be able to have a picture until this weekend.
Is the "standard practice" you described the same as the one Ken mention?
No. The method that I describe is based on the adhesive that DuPont Laboratories determined as best for Corian. In the early days the fabricators used it wrong and it was abandoned.
The standard practice is to cut out the area of the crack with a template and replace it with another piece that has been cut to fit perfectly.
Grinding it out and filling it is NOT recommended.
I hope this helps
Where can I buy this "Art Specialties International, Inc. Super Thin CA"?
After applying heat with hair dryer, is the crack supposed to be closed? If the surface is not aligned, I guess I will have to hold the surface to line them up during the entire procedure?
When applying the CA, how do I know the CA will go through the crack if the seam is closed by heat already? I read it from here:
that somebody actually apply the CA before applying heat.
How much CA should be applied? I suppose I will see the excessive liquid along the crack after applying it. Shall I use the paper towel to wipe if off immediately after I apply it?
Thank you very much!
Would this filling method good for non Dupont product? I don't know whether it's acrylic type or not.
Do not apply before it is closed. The adhesive will start curing at the ends of the crack and then not allow it to close properly when the heat is added.
A thin bead of adhesive is all that is necessary.
Yes you will want to align the pieces while applying heat.
The paper towel should be used to wick any excessive puddling. You will sand off the normal excess.
In the article you cite, he did not follow the directions and got an acceptable repair. If he would have don it right, it would have been better. If you read my posts there you will see much more information than I have put elsewhere.
It will work on any acrylic based product. It can work with some others. I gave you the way to tell if it is acrylic based in my first post.
You have to call to order it. 1-800-724-4008.
1 Attachment(s)
Attach the picture here.
I've been working with solid surface materials since they came out. I would not recommend the repair to be a DIY. I would recommend finding a local shop that is certified and would be qualified to determine exactly what material it is and perform a good repair.

eBay I was scammed out of thousands of dollars on ebay. Internet

I am writing this letter to hopefully put and end to the ongoing scams and to share some of the horrible experiences customers have faced when dealing with eBay and Paypal. I am hopeful that this letter reaches the right person/people and doesn't get tossed to the garbage like other letters. As a eBay store owner since 2005 I have sold many different items but took pride in the fact that my feedback rating is 100% positive. I am in excellent standing with eBay and am actually owed a credit. I am not the only one, in fact there are thousands of unhappy customers who share their experience on forums such as consumeraffairs.com, ripoffreport.com, BBB.com (Better Business Bureau, and many other consumer websites. I suggest you Google eBay and Paypal scams and you will see countless websites and pages of very unhappy consumers.
I never take the time to write to businesses but I feel that eBay and PayPal are allowing scams to continue while the innocent, hard working people are being taken advantage of. All while receiving no help whatsoever from customer support from both companies. Before I continue, I must say eBay has poor customer support but PayPal's customer support is absolutely atrocious. Generic responses, one-worded answers, or the lack of email communication. I can go on and on about my negative experience with customer service but I feel this letter is more damaging and important then poor customer satisfaction.
One scam currently in the works is the buyer just stealing from the seller. I have read countless horror stories of innocent buyers being scammed while PayPal allows this type of behavior to continue. For example, a buyer buys a computer for $750. The seller promptly sends over the computer to the buyer and right away the buyer files a dispute with PayPal stating the computer is defective, not as described, etc... PayPal will then tell the buyer to resend the computer back to the seller and they will be issued a refund. Meanwhile the seller is livid because he/she knows the computer was in perfect condition and that there was no refund warranted. 4 days later the seller receives a box filled with garbage and no computer. The seller furiously calls PayPal and explains the situation, after being transferred to multiple representatives the seller speaks his/her mind. The seller is told that the box was tracked back to them because USPS tracking shows that and there is nothing they can do. That leaves the buyer with both the money and the free computer. Now the seller is out $750 and nothing can be done about it.
15 year-old Adam Perkins of Fresno, CA, recently received a new Apple iPad and then decided to sell an old laptop he no longer needed. The teenager listed the item on eBay, using the auction site's Buy-It-Now feature, for $500. Someone bought it immediately. The second email appeared to be a payment confirmation from PayPal, stating that the buyer had sent the $500 (and presumably a shipping fee) to Perkins' account. Perkins and his mother scrambled to send the laptop but missed the deadline for overnight shipping. That's when they took a step back and realized they were almost scammed. The family reviewed the PayPal email. They noticed numerous spelling mistakes and grammatical errors that PayPal wouldn't permit in an official company email — and a big red flag for a scam. After more investigation, Perkins and McConnell confirmed the buyer was a con artist.
If the scam had been successful, the buyer would have received Perkins' laptop without paying a cent.
Paula from Florida entered a website that required credit card info and I backed out. Weeks later, I found out I was billed by PayPal. I was livid! I do not need a third party to pay for my purchases. I have credit cards. Now here is the thing about PayPal, I had so far two occasions where the site I visited decided to charge me for the experience. Each time I disputed the charge with my credit card company and I was reimbursed. It seems if you have an account with PayPal, even if you never used it someone somewhere can bill you for something. On Ripoffreport.com, PayPal has 2,381 negative reviews and I am so happy I followed my gut. Any transactions that required PayPal ONLY I ignore. They will take your money but proven wrong they will work over time to keep it. I have never lost a penny to PayPal and intend to keep it that way! PayPal is Useless
The next two examples make me so angry it's hard to type the words, since it happened to me. I had been an eBay and Paypal member since 2005 with zero disputes and 0 positive feedback. I had my own eBay store and I found it to to be a great money-making hobby.
In late October, 2013 I had purchased a bitcoin from a buyer who had very high ratings. For those of you who are unfamiliar with a bitcoin, it is an open-source, peer-to-peer digital currency that can be used globally. In other words it is online cash that can be spent for tangible or intangible items. I see this listing for 1 bitcoin which was being sold for half the current market value. Now when it sounds too good to be true, it usually is, however, next to the price was eBay's "Buyer Protection Guaranteed" symbol. So I went ahead and made the purchase using Paypal as the payment method. Right away the buyer asked me to give him positive feedback before he sends the paid for item. I told him I would after I receive the bitcoin I paid for. I then started receiving personal emails from this seller asking me to give him $1000 for 6 bitcoins. I replied, first send the one I paid for then we can discuss further business.
Well the item never came and I called eBay to find out what to do. I spoke to a friendly, yet ill-informed customer service rep who instructed me to call PayPal and issue a stop payment with an escalated dispute. So following the instruction of my eBay rep,by calling Paypal and initiating an escalated dispute. I submitted the evidence I had, the shady correspondence between "seller" and myself, the transaction information ( all transactions are linked and verified by bitcoins block chain (website blockchain.info). The customer had an eBay account in California but two PayPal locations; one in Peru and the other was somewhere else in S. America. After submitting all this info, being a loyal customer for so many years, never being involved in any disputes or complaints, and submitting clear-cut evidence... I was scammed. PayPal somehow ruled in his favor. I called eBay and asked about the "buyer protection" and their response was, " We must stick with PayPal's decision" even though I was just instructed to call Paypal and begin a dispute.
In November, 2013, I started selling bitcoins on eBay, Buyers were buying and my PayPal account was rising. In about 3 had about $9,000 in my PayPal account. For a bartender who works two jobs I was ecstatic. So I kept buying and selling, not worried one bit because eBay protects their sellers, guaranteed. First week of December I was hit with my first dispute. Turns out someone purchased my item using an hacked account and the funds were returned, so I was down $350. The next day I was hit with another dispute, same issue, buyer was using a hacked PayPal account, this time I lost$500. 3 times that day Papal wrote me an email saying I was involved in a dispute. Either buyer used hacked accounts or stolen credit cards. This kept happening until my account was down to negative $850 ( I withdrew $850 from an actual buyer, so I thought.) To top it off, eBay charged me hundreds due to seller fees.
The way John Dohnaue and David Marcus (CEO'S) are allowing these companies to run are ridiculous. I for one, will not use PayPal for any payment methods. They're allowing these parasitic scum steal money from hard working citizens. I was absolutely disgusted by the way customer service treated me, it was an outrage. I say we put a stop to this with the signatures created and tell these two corporations, enough is enough. Too many people have lost money and if they can't figure out a way to protect us users, then we we will fight with our class-action suits or multiple civil suits. We can not sit back and allow this to happen anymore.
Very Angry and Frustrated Customer,
Joshua G****

GSD Almost Shot Today by Police
Was doing the morning chores (breakfast, dishes & trash) and heard persistent unfamiliar barking. Went outside with the trash and saw two neighbor men who own big dogs too walking away from my home down the street with two dogs, one a rat-dog mutt and another a GSD, near them very agitated and barking.
At same time, school children and parents in their cars were gathering on my street to let the kids out as I live only a half block from an elementary school. These neighbors were interposing themselves between the dogs and the kids walking to school. The GSD, in particular, was being VERY AGGRESSIVE towards one of the these fellows, a large dumb-as-a-rock plow-boy who is an imposing and menacing sort of guy who was eye-locked on the GSD.
I recognized the dogs as belonging to a neighbor on the opposite side of the block and went back inside to get my motorcycle gloves (elbow length and padded), a leash, a tuna tailer (a fishing tool which is something like what the dog catchers use to snare dogs), a can of pepper spray and half a burger paddy that I'd prepared for my own GSD's breakfast. I also had the wife call the owner who said she'd be there right away.
As I walked down the street to the fricas it became pretty clear that the plow-boy was exactly the wrong guy in exactly the wrong frame of mind to de-escalate the situation. He was responding to lunges from the dog with lunges of his own even though most of the kids were now gone from the street and there wasn't anyone to protect. The other neighbor was on the phone to the Sheriff's Department.
I calmly walked near the GSD and he turned on me and lunged. I rewarded him with a chunk of hamburger paddy, stood my ground and spoke to him in a gentle, non-threatening way. At first, he ignored the treat but then began taking them, all the while keeping his eye on the brutish plow-boy. I asked the brute to leave and he retreated to the opposite side of the street and stood in the yard about half-way up.
I kept treating the GSD with paddy bits and his barking and, in particular, his snarling and showing of teeth diminished to the point that he gave me only a single warning bark before taking the treat from near me and then from my gloved hand. I then went to one knee still offering the treat with my gloved hand.
The GSD was initially surprised at my change in position and barked aggressively. I didn't flinch, but rather, continued to offer treats and speak softly and reassuringly.
I think a dog feeding and a dog willing to aggressively bite are two incompatible things. Hence, my strategy to de-escalate. And, we appeared to be making progress.
Owner shows up and with a brief command collected both dogs into her car. She thanked us, took from me the remainder of the burger paddy and left.
Three different cops showed up in different cars and got out when they saw that I had dog wrangling equipments with me. All were agitated and eager to end the confrontation that had already ended.
They asked if I owned the dog that was menacing the school children. I ran the story down to them and they said that had they gotten there when the school children were being threatened they'd have shot the dog, and maybe even both dogs, straight away. I was dumbfounded.
I told them the dogs were being agitated by the plow-boy who, despite his own ownership of a GSD didn't seem to know that his out-of-control protective emotions were influencing how the dog reacted to the situation, that his aggression engendered fear in the dog and that the dog was fear reactive, that he was the one who either instigated the dog or, at a minimum, was escalating rather than de-escalating the situation.
They said they'd still have had to shoot the dog. Then they asked for the address of the owner and vowed to ticket her.
Is shooting a dog the only reaction the authorities have anymore to a fearful dog? Sure seems like it. Shooting two dogs only one of which was large enough and aggressive enough to harm anyone. Shooting any dog without first trying to de-escalate the situation.
Sure seemed trigger happy to me. The dogs were reacting to the threats of a dumbie, not preying on the kids.

Anti-Aging Hair Care from BLUESPRING
The Hair Care Secret that May Change Your Life
Men and women accept the idea that thinning hair is just something that happens with age. They also believe that their lifeless hair is hereditary or just part of aging.
That aging look may be due in large part because of the shampoos and conditioners they have been using for years. The truth is out on shampoos, conditioners and supplements. Hair needs quality care, it's that simple. But not only can hair be cleaned and moisturized; it's also able to regrow.
Hair is made of protein and should be bathed in natural substances, like the tea tree oil, Emu oil, and other proven ingredients in Hair Healthy Shampoo and Anti-Aging Hair Conditioner from BLUESPRING. The same people who make original Super Blue Stuff OTC, the extraordinary natural pain relief cream used worldwide by Olympic athletes, professional athletes, and some of the most exquisite movie stars.
"I have been using Hair Healthy Shampoo with Emu Oil by BLUESPRING for many years now and it is by far the best shampoo I have tried. It not only cleans the hair throughly, but it doesn't dry it out, either. I won't use anything else unless I just happen to run out, but I won't let that happen."
~ Vicki, Portland OR
But cleaning and conditioning is only treating the hair from the outside. What about on the inside? BLUESPRING makes Hair, Skin & Nails Formula. This supplement nourishes the hair, by adding the vital nutrients inside the body. It contains ingredients specially made to improve skin and scalp, hair and follicle. Just take three tablets daily at mealtime. That's it.
"My daughter was in a bad accident and ended up having a hysterectomy as a result. Her hair from lack of hormones became thinner and thinner until you could see right through it and see each individual hair. She started wearing a hat to hide the fact that she had such thin hair. We started using Hair Formula+ and noticed results in about 4-5 weeks, but in about 6 weeks, her hair was back to where it was before the accident and surgery. She no longer wears a hat!"
~ Janet G., Indiana
Used together, this natural and powerful combination of shampoo, conditioner and powerful, natural supplement infuses each strand of hair with strengthening, and thickening properties. Men and women will build stronger, thicker, more luxurious hair and healthy hair. You may notice stronger, healthier nails too!
Men and Women Will Get the Thicker, Healthier Hair They Want
As your hair gently sheds years of chemicals and waxy buildup from inferior shampoos and conditioners, each strand of hair absorbs the nutrients in BLUESPRING natural shampoo and conditioner, while being fortified from within with essential vitamins and minerals. With Hair Formula+, your hair will soon look like you are spending your days in a spa.
You're going to be so impressed with the results of this amazing anti-aging hair care trio you won't care about the 60-day money-back guarantee. That's right. You have two full months to use these products and if they're not everything you expect, you get your money back.
You don't have to tell your friends your secret, but you'll want to.
Hair Skin & Nails Formula
The Powerful Nutrient Booster for Healthier Hair
Starting with Hair, Skin & Nails Formula, your body will receive the nutrients that help build stronger and more durable hair, bones, and nails. More than just vitamins for hair, this concentrated formula of natural vitamins and minerals will aid in promoting healthy hair growth (and hair regrowth) while it helps prevent hair loss. Healthier skin and stronger nails are also commonly reported with daily use.

New data from Juniper Research (www.juniperresearch.com) has found that the digital games industry will generate software revenues of just over US$80 billion this year, rising to $104 billion by the end of 2018. The majority of this growth will stem from the contributions made by the PC market, with this industry alone accounting for 42 percent of games revenues this year, says the research group.
However mobile platforms will account for ever increasing contributions, with a market share approaching 35 percent by 2020. Meanwhile, driven by consumer uptake and software purchases from the latest generation of games consoles, software revenue generated by this segment will reach $27 billion by 2018, up from an estimated $21 billion this year.
Contrary to the rumors of its impending demise, Juniper believes that the console industry will continue to evolve to take advantage of new technological...| Read more »

When Environment Victoria staff sought a fun memento to give Eric Noel for "winning" the Point Nepean campaign, they chose a symbolic theme - boxing.
The gawdy gold plastic trophy has an inscription crediting him with being "Point Nepean Champion, 2002-2003." The trophy features a boxer, arms upraised, above a picture of a bare-knuckle fist.
As a metaphor for the way in which Mr Noel went about his job, it's possibly quite appropriate. Some people have the bruises to prove it.
The trouble is that, although Mr Noel and his boss, Mr Marcus Godinho, think the tactics have produced the best outcome given the circumstances of a Federal/State disagreement, not everyone agrees. Although Point Nepean remains in public hands, some see what has happened as a loss.
Yesterday, the reality set in when the Federal Government invited tenders for the leasehold of almost 90 hectares, including the historic built section of the old quarantine station. The original goal of a national park seems lost, and management will be diversified into three bodies.
Faced with this outcome, the broader environment movement is divided about the tactics that Environment Victoria adopted.
The opponents, who include the Victorian National Parks Association and the National Trust, will continue efforts to get the whole of Point Nepean turned over to a national park under one management.
The VNPA is implicitly critical of Eric Noel, if not EV overall.
"By standing on the same stage at the recent announcement of the leasing arrangements, individuals entrusted with the protection of Point Nepean have provided a crutch for the Commonwealth Government's anti-environment approach," says the VNPA's director, Mr Michael Fendley.
As well as doubting the so-called win, some significant figures are also feeling a little bruised - not least Federal Labor's sustainability and environment spokesman Kelvin Thomson.
Following a stoush that developed as Mr Noel and supporters celebrated with champagne outside Treasury Place on the day the Federal Government withdrew Point Nepean from sale, Mr Thomson has written to EV protesting in vehement terms about Mr Noel's alleged conduct. Some of it was filmed by TV cameras.
Mr Thomson says in a letter, shown to The Sunday Age by Mr Noel, that in 15 years as a politician he has never encountered "such unprofessional and inappropriate conduct from a community organisation representative".
He complained that, among other things, Mr Noel had worked in such a way with the Federal Liberal MHR for Flinders, Mr Greg Hunt, "that observers have described them as joined at the hip".
He said that Mr Noel's conduct had "undoubtedly tarnished Environment Victoria's reputation for political independence and damaged its standing in the eyes of the Labor Party at both Federal and State levels", and asked Mr Godinho what he was going to do about it.
Mr Godinho says he will reply. Mr Noel acknowledges he was "a bit over the top" on the day, but is unabashed, complaining that Mr Thomson had interrupted "our parade".
So who is Eric Noel - and how did this situation develop?
For Environment Victoria, it was always a little anomalous - it tends to focus upon the big-picture environmental issues such as global warming and energy consumption.
But things developed after it received a bequest from a reclusive Frankston spinster, Ms Beatrice Terry, who in 2001 left it almost $100,000 to protect Point Nepean. According to EV, though, her will did not specify that the money was to promote a national park.
Mr Godinho said that in 2002, EV approached the Nepean Community Coalition.
It also approached the VNPA, which did not take up the offer to share the bequest.
However, once the Federal Government announced plans to sell the land, the Nepean groups asked EV to use the money to hire a campaigner.
Enter Eric Noel, a rather different sort of environmental activist from your classic green-leftie type.
Born in Mauritius, he counts among his environmental influences his grandfather, who worked with the famous British naturalist and author Gerald Durrell.
He grew up in Melbourne, holidayed on the Mornington Peninsula at a house in Red Hill, and knows the area well. Now 45, he is a former journalist with Melbourne's Sun and Herald, the ABC and Radio Australia.
In the mid-to-late 1990s, he spent three years as communications manager for a consortium, including Transfield, that was building the huge Nam Theun 2 dam project in Laos. Having written stories about Transfield and the environment, he was invited by the company to "put my mouth where my heart was" and go to work for them. He speaks French fluently.
Defending a role that might seem the reverse of environmentalism, he said it was "an opportunity to work with a group who were willing to move down a road and give serious consideration to environmental and social values. I saw that as an opportunity to participate and ameliorate the process.
"I think testimony to that is that I was asked to work on the World Commission on Dams (a United Nations environment project) after that, which was about trying to find some middle ground in a debate that was locked and polarised."
After returning to Australia, and just prior to the EV job, he completed a two-year contract restructuring communications for the Mercy Hospital group.
Mr Noel says his skills include being able to find the middle ground and play a broker role, something that was a hallmark of his work on the Point Nepean campaign - the core criticism being that he was prepared to countenance something less than the original goal of a national park.
The environmental rift is all the more stark because it has been fought out at either end of a long corridor on the third floor of the so-called "green building" in South Carlton, where both groups are headquartered.
While the VNPA displayed a poster proclaiming its campaign slogan "Pt Nepean - Not for Sale", EV hung out a poster from The Age of August 26, the day after the announcement, saying "Point Nepean - It's Not For Sale".

Available for immediate download! Start creating Dynamic Conversations now and see immediate changes in your life.
- "I have to say, this by far is one of the best life-changing experiences I've ever encountered. They really changed the way I feel and the way I approach, not just girls, but people in general. They taught me techniques to feel less anxiety, they taught me techniques to be more confident...for the first time in my life I actually feel like myself, confident, bold, charismatic, likable and just happy. I owe these guys everything in my life. Thank you fearless team, thank you forever!"
"I know you're wondering if you should do this or not, if you can afford it, if it will work. All I can say is, I was there, where you are now. In one year with FEARLESS, I've learned to overcome a physical handicap, jumped out of a plane, had massive success with women, and started a new coaching business. What are you waiting for?"
- "In order to succeed in any aspect of your life you need a framework. That framework consists of beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. I learned what I was doing wrong (and also right) and have seen incredible results in my life through the teachings of Brian & Dave."
- "While many books exist on developing masculine qualities, Brian's workshops will help you get these lessons in your bones. Rather than simply using masculine power, Brian's methods allow you to be used by this power…His teachings go beyond simple dating...I would recommend him to any man interested in developing his personal power and consciousness."
"I've worked with healers and coaches in my life – I am one myself – and there is no doubt that Brian is one of the "best of the best" out there! He was able to put his finger on issues that dozens of others over many years completely missed, and I see the 100+ hours of private coaching with Brian as one of the best investments I've ever made. If you're serious about changing your life, Brian is the man!"
"Brian Begin is one of the most extraordinary human beings I've ever met. I've worked for Brian for almost two years now and I can tell you my life has altered ten times over because I get to sit in and listen to these amazing workshops! I get to see old clients and new clients and where they stand and WOW the success rate is thru the roof..."
"Brian has a remarkable ability to pinpoint the issues correctly and quickly…. His work centers around dating and relationships, but clearly the benefits extend to family, friendships, career, emotional development and beyond. Life is too short not to learn how to get what you want."
"Brian is an amazing coach. He pushes to the brink and supports till the process is done. I have become more confident and comfortable in my skin. One feature I liked about his program is that he brings in women to work with. Even though it is a mock situation, all my issues and insecurities show up and are caught on film. Having them witnessed by others and me has helped me to move through those insecurities."
"Great speaker, very insightful: Brian is a life changing coach. I gained a way of living life with more fun, confidence, passion and wisdom."
"Brian's focus on video training is crucial and his methods for doing so are the best I know of in the industry. In many ways, I have been transformed by Brian's training and have seen others transformed as well. I feel that Brian's coaching helped me grow substantially."
"Brian's work qualifies as non-traditional, rapid result producing therapy! I have been able to heal & let go of many issues in life that were holding me back. I found myself!! Whether you come to Brian for relationships or career help, you find that the foundation of everything you desire in life begins with you."
"Most people in the industry try to build people up with positive thoughts. Although that always helps; Brian's step is actually attacking the inner thoughts so that we may conquer them."
"Over the past two years, Brian has helped me come out of my shell in almost every aspect of my life. He helped me to become a man who knows exactly what I want in life and knows how to get it." "Brian has been a true role model, mentor and father figure."

Newlyweds Boyd and Elsie Hamilton were refugees from Canadian winters when they first saw Key West in 1948.
"They drove as far south as they could go and still speak English," said Danny Hamilton, one of the couple's sons who was born and raised in Key West several years later.
The vacation became permanent the following year, when the Hamiltons made Key West their home. Boyd was an electrician, and at one point drove a dumptruck for Charley Toppino.
"They built some homes and rental properties on Laird and Johnson streets," said Danny Hamilton. "Back then, you could see all the way to the water from those streets."
In 1963, the couple, who would have three sons and two daughters, bought some waterfront land on Stock Island and decided to open a campground, renting out spots for trailers, RVs, tents and campers.
Boyd and Elsie could never have imagined what that campground would look like today, 50 years later.
Multi-million dollar travel coaches are precisely lined up in rows that bisect the 13 acres that gradually became part of the ever-growing Boyd's Campground.
"Before 1974, you could still fill in land if you owned the bay bottom," said Bob Jones, who married Boyd's and Elsie's daughter Lynn after the two of them graduated from Key West High School.
Jones is now the general manager of Boyd's Campground, where he has worked for 35 years as part of the four generations of Hamiltons who welcome returning guests to their little oasis each year.
"Every fall, Boyd would pay Charley Toppino $5,000 and get $15,000 worth of fill," Jones said. "He'd fill in more areas, and then after the snowbirds arrived in the winter, he'd pay Toppino the rest of the money."
The growth continued for years, finally culminating in 13 acres of waterfront property and a campground that includes a pool, boat ramp, game room, laundry facilities, tiki garden, gift shop, bath houses and a full-time activities director.
"One woman, Janet Denton, hasn't missed a single winter here since 1968," Jones said, sitting with his brothers-in-law Danny and Henry Hamilton, who also help with the family business, although Henry is also a Monroe County Sheriff's deputy.
The campground features more than 200 RV spots that can accommodate anything from today's luxury coaches to two-man tents.
"This is their home away from home," Danny Hamilton said of the guests who return every year. "They even have reunions up north."
The original price for a lot was $1.50 per night. That has gone up a bit in 50 years, and prices now range from $60 to $120 per night - still cheaper than a hotel room, although most of the luxury coaches rival the most decadent of hotel rooms.
The Hamilton family celebrated the campground's 50th anniversary with their guests on Wednesday night, and spent Thursday receiving "thanks" and well wishes from the folks who have become their extended family.
Times have changed, and the newlyweds who arrived in the 1940s wouldn't recognize the islands that have grown up around them. But the friendly atmosphere and family traditions of Boyd's Campground are still as strong as they were 50 years ago.

That's a good ide frank, but it may not work. FilrDirContext has a normalize method... the javadoc comment says: * Return a context-relative path, beginning with a "/", that represents * the canonical version of the specified path after ".." and "." elements * are resolved out. If the specified path attempts to go outside the * boundaries of the current context (i.e. too many ".." path elements * are present), return null instead. Doh! Also, it would be nice to have the freedom to place the 'common' elsewhere on the system.

I'm not saying this is GOOD or anything, but it's probably a bit outside the box, for whatever that's worth... What if you had all your common JSPs in a given directory, like so (let's talk Tomcat for a minute, but it doesn't matter)... /tomcat/webapps/commonjsps /tomcat/webapps/webapp1 /tomcat/webapps/webapp2 Then, in either webapp1 or webapp2, let's say you want to use the JSP myJSP1.jsp in the common jsps directory... What if you had a JSP in webapp1 and webapp2 that was just this: <%@ page language="java" %> <%@ include file="../commonjsps/myJSP1.jsp.inc" %> My syntax might be a little off, but I think the concept is clean. You would have to have basically a "dummy" page that includes the real page, and that could be a pain, but I think this would work, and maybe it's quicker to do than a custom resource loader.

Enjoy a thoughtful evening read.
Enjoy a longer, more in-depth read.
Ann Romney had only to 'humanize' her husband in her GOP convention speech. As first lady, Michelle Obama has a much harder task, and heartwarming stories may not be enough.
Mitt Romney says Senate majority leader Harry Reid should 'put up or shut up' in response to Reid's accusations that he didn't pay taxes for 10 years. Will lines like that help him win over voters?
Both the Romney and Obama campaigns have unveiled new smart-phone apps, highlighting the growing importance of mobile devices in political communication. But are they dumbing it down, too?
The disclosure raises more questions about Mitt Romney's complicated financial holdings – and may renew pressure on him to release more of his tax returns.
Mitt Romney should be capitalizing on gloomy economic news. But he keeps putting his foot in his mouth.
President Obama is defying political gravity – pulling ahead of Mitt Romney, even as pessimism about the economy grows. The question is, how long can he keep it up?
President Obama and Mitt Romney have changed their scheduled events today. The president addressed the Colorado shooting tragedy this morning, saying It's a chance to put divisive rhetoric aside and try to bring the nation together. Romney also addressed the theater shooting.
The line may have been taken out of context. But it plays into the Romney campaign's main point of attack against the president: that he puts more faith in government than in private enterprise.
Romney's refusal to release more tax returns is drawing sharper barbs from members of his own party. Could the vice presidential pick stem the criticism?
Condoleezza Rice probably won't be Mitt Romney's running mate. But all the speculation highlights just how starved this campaign is for excitement.
Repeatedly, we've seen the Obama campaign launch an attack, only to find the exact same accusation hurled back at them by Mitt Romney's folks. 'Outsourcer in chief' is a recent example.
A strong majority of Americans say President Obama would do a better job than Mitt Romney handling an alien invasion, according to a new survey.
Politicians like to use sports references as a way to connect with voters. But a botched line can be perilous.
If President Obama's lead among Hispanic voters widens further as a result of Monday's Supreme Court ruling on the Arizona immigration law, it could shift the entire electoral map.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio is not being vetted as part of the Romney campaign's vice-presidential search, a report from ABC News says. Is that a snub of the GOP's most prominent Latino?
Mitt Romney's gap with Hispanic voters is so wide that he may have no choice but to try to one-up Obama – perhaps by putting Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida on the GOP ticket.
At an Obama fundraiser this week, Vogue Editor Anna Wintour promoted a line of campaign gear by top designers. But in many ways it doesn't seem to square with the times.
As the Romney campaign jumps on Obama's 'the private sector is fine' comment, former Clinton strategists are urging Obama to focus on the future, not on what he's done in the past four years.
The Wisconsin recall is part of a trend: The number of recall elections for state and local officials has been rising in recent years – fueled by political polarization and technology.
Former President Bill Clinton's praise of MItt Romney's business career seemed to deliberately undercut the Obama campaign's attacks. So why did he do it?

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Seahawks are now uncertain whether Marshawn Lynch (back spasms) will play Sunday at Arizona.
Coach Pete Carroll expected Lynch to be "fine" this week, but the spasms have yet to subside. We could be looking at the dreaded game-time decision. All Lynch owners need to prioritize rookie Robert Turbin on this week's waiver wire. Should Lynch sit out Week 1, Turbin would be a top-25 fantasy option.
For week 1 maybe, and I'm sure Leon Washington will ruin the party, but what the hell. Here's the Robert Turbin lottery ticket thread.

Shoot Em All is an arcade styled game for Windows Phone where you have to rescue your partner from the bad guys. The game is basically a sniper game that plays like a Hogan's Alley game, except the targets shoot back.
You are tasked with seeking out the bad guys as they come out of hiding and take them out before they lock on to your position and ruin your day. Shoot Em All has a slight retro arcade feel to it, decent graphics and the need for a quick and steady aim.

Hey my name is Kathleen. I am seventeen years old. I was born in Anchorage, Alaska, but I now live in Kenosha, Wisconsin. My favorite artist is Taylor Swift. I have been a fan of hers for a long time because she writes the best love songs ever. I started playing the guitar a year ago because of her. My favorite song to play is "The Best Day". I also love Nick Robinson from the show "Melissa and Joey." He is the cutest!!!!!!!! I recently started to play Taylor Swift songs on my guitar at the nursing home for the residents. They loved it!
Other interests are
Basketball 24-7
Reading "Nicholas Sparks" Books
Everyone should look up this new country artist, LIZZE SIDER. She too also writes her own songs like Taylor and is only fourteen years old!
Everyone should go see Oz The Great and Powerful. It was an amazing movie to watch. I really enjoyed it! Hope they make a sequel!!!!!!!!!!!!
Recent Blogs
Hey there Swiftie! So as you may have seen on the forums or in my blogs, I'm writing to you today to personally invite you to join me in a fun little project that is already well under way.
To make a long story short (and if you want the long, detailed version you can check out the official project page in my blogs): We, meaning myself and hundreds of Swifties from Taylor Connect are currently in the process of making Official Unofficial Lyric Video for the song "Red". Why, you might ask? To both celebrate the dawn of the Red era and to show the one and only Taylor Swift just what all of this means to us, the fans of course!! After everything she does for us, this will be our way of doing something back for her.
Interested? Excited? Confused? Tired? Fighting an uncontrollable urge to scream out loud that you are, in fact, a little teapot (handle, spout and all!)? Well, first things first, the best way to understand what we're doing is to see the original inspiration for this project, courtesy of the folks behind the Broadway Musical "Title of Show"
Now, take that idea and apply it to Red!! So far, the creativity people have been bringing to the table has been beyond incredible and now I would like to offer you your own chance to get in on the action. Just respond to this message expressing your interest, and you can be a part of this amazing opportunity to unite with your fellow Swifties as, with one voice, we celebrate the dawn of the Red era!! Let's give this album and the beautiful artist behind it the welcome they deserve! You might want to hurry though: there are officially less than 50 words left to give out and they are going FAST! So send me a message and join up!

One of the coolest additions to Windows Vista would be an open source clone of Compiz Fusion for Vista... we might not be able to get all the effects, but we could definitely get the Desktop Cube effect.
There used to be an application called Yodm3d that did this(somewhat), but it was sold off and is no longer free or available, so I'd like to see the next one be open source.
With all the game developers writing code for windows, it seems like this would be a no-brainer... just tap into the new compositing engine and grab the window previews?
The How-To Geek would personally be willing to donate [EDIT-removed amount] towards this.
