Anonymous explodes MegaUpload clone 'scam'
AnonyUpload is nothing to do with us, sir
A supposedly "Anonymous-built" alternative to MegaUpload has been discredited by members of the hacktivist collective.
AnonyUpload sprung up days after a takedown operation against MegaUpload website, the arrest in New Zealand of its founders on copyright infringement charges, and a hacktivist backlash against government and entertainment industry websites linked to the takedown.
Rather than asking participants to download an attack tool, the assault used JavaScript code to blast traffic from any surfers who clicked on a link, whether unwittingly or not.
Meanwhile regular users of MegaUpload found themselves unable to access files they had uploaded to the cloud-based service.
In the midst of all this confusion, AnonyUpload appeared this week with claims to offer a "100% free" and "100% anonymous" file hosting and file-sharing services. The front page of the new site solicited for donation, supposedly needed to lease servers and hosting facilities in Russia. Strangely the blurb on the site warned of various reasons why trusting AnonyUpload with files might be a bad idea.
Anonyupload.com is a centralized service, when you upload files, they are stored in our hard drives, at a single location. And this is not good! It is the opposite of what the Internet is: decentralised.
There are many reasons why this is not good, the first is that some of you store personal information and files on machines which are not belonging to you, and that you do not have any control on. The second is that you are always going through the same wires, it means that someone could spy on it, monitors your activities, or decides to cut it off as it happened with megaupload.com. This can be avoided by using decentralized technologies, the first thing to do if you are interested in doing it, is to host your own content, on your own machines.
The reasons given on why anyone might want to use AnonyUpload despite these privacy and availability considerations - "because it is fun and technically interesting" - are pretty weak.
It's unclear whether AnonyUpload is a prank designed to make a wider point or a scam. One thing that became clear on Tuesday was that it was nothing to do with the mainstream of Anonymous. Several established accounts linked to the hacktivist collective have disowned AnonyUpload.
An update from AnonymouSabu is typical of these disavowals: "ATTN: Anonyuploads is not affiliated to us. Its someone trying to capitalize on media frenzy from Anonymous doing #opMegaupload."
Other Twitter accounts used by Anonymous in the past (such as @YourAnonNews) have gone even further, labelling AnonyUpload as a scam.
Security experts said that whether or not AnonyUpload is created by a faction of Anonymous, it ought to be avoided.
"My advice would be to avoid the AnonyUpload site, and certainly not donate any money," writes Graham Cluley of net security firm Sophos. "You don't know whose pockets you might be lining, and as AnonyUpload's own blurb makes clear there are 'many reasons' why their service is 'not good'." ®

Site of the Ring Fight
The Tamassee area of Oconee County is also closely associated with General Andrew Pickens and the Cherokee campaign of 1776. Follow SC 11 north of Walhalla to Oconee Station Road and turn left on S.37.95. On your right, approximately three miles is Oconee Station State Historic Site, a militia outpost and Indian trading post from the late 18th century. About one mile further was the site of Pickens' last home, the Red House. A small granite marker designates the spot, which affords the visitor a beautiful view of Tamassee Knob and the adjacent valley. Andrew Pickens built his home not far from the site of the Ring Fight, one of the most unusual battles of the Revolution. While leading a scouting party of 25 men in advance of Andrew Williamson's army, Pickens was surrounded by 185 Cherokee Indians. Although outnumbered more than seven to one, the small party defeated the Indians by firing in relays under the direction of Pickens. Tradition also recounts how the Patriots successfully set fire to the canebrake so that the popping of the burning cane would fool the enemy into thinking reinforcements were arriving.

Memories of Karuizawa 3: 1996/2013
Bond#1 right now; from next week, it will also be on the shelves of selected retailers here in Japan.
The 3rd release is one of the few casks left from the 1996 vintage, and it is – in fact – a sister cask (#3684) of our very own Nonjatta Karuizawa (#3681). There's definitely family resemblance so it won't surprise you to read that we are quite fond of this new single cask.
On the nose, there's fruit, of course – assorted berries, dried apricots and raspberry meringue – but there's also fresh ginger ale and grass in early summer with some very subtle wood smoke in the background. After a while, a nice orange marmalade note comes to the fore, accompanied by over-ripe kiwis, honey-roasted almonds, shiso leaf and a touch of eucalyptus. On the palate, it packs quite a punch neat: orange zest and raspberries on the attack, then slightly under-ripe grapefruit and gooseberries. It really needs water – only then does it reveal its charms on the palate: milk chocolate, hazelnut cream, nougat, candied orange peel again, ramune candy, then caramel pear mousse and pumpkin seed spread. Resistance is futile… it's a phenomenal amalgam of flavours. The finish is long and lingering on sweet jam notes but with a lovely tart edge.
Now for the bad news: there are only 303 bottles. Since no one will bother to ready any further, we'll just sign off wishing you a nice weekend... and it will be if you manage to score a bottle of this.
Read more about Karuizawa Distillery here.

Definitely a frustrating experience. The site does not update in real time nor does it allow you to purchase the Bond#1 membership and the bottle at the same time. I therefore had to sign up for the membership first only to learn that the bottle was sold out.
Being from the United States, I now have a Bond #1 membership that affords me no other benefits other than the opportunity to purchase bottles of members only scotch (or a Yamazaki that's out of my price range) when all I'm trying to get is Japanese whisky.
I apologize for the rant, I think I'm more frustrated with how difficult it is to get my hands on a bottle of Karuizawa here in the States (or any bottles of quality Japanese whisky for that matter). I've twice ordered Karuizawa from other sites to learn that it had been sold out the day before and now am sitting on a paid membership that provides me no benefits unless I break the bank for the Yamazaki or sit back and hope for additional Japanese whiskies to be added to the site (please tell me that'll be the case beyond just the 2014 TIBS bottles).

My advice would be to send them a message and explain your problem. They're good people and will do everything they can to help you out.

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for the reply. Having read back over my original comment, it definitely came across as that of a bitter individual which I was hoping to avoid. After further consideration, the Bond membership is of value if I'm able to purchase even 1 bottle of quality Japanese whisky given the limited availability here in the U.S.
I remain hopeful with all the talk of increased imports in the near future - yes there's probably some classics I'll miss out on (Karuizawa's and Hanyu's) but I'm excited to start seeing the likes of Chichibu showing up on U.S. shelves.

Hi Will,
No problem, at all. Your membership will definitely be worth it - trust me. In the meantime, do get in touch with them and tell them about the problem you had. Good luck.

Stefan/Will -
As a resident of the US, I've thought about joining the Bond #1 program. I inquired a while back about shipping to the US and was told they can't use their normal shipping service to send whisky to the US. Have you guys successfully been able to have them ship to the US?
- May 28, 2013 at 10:32 PM
- Stefan Van Eycken said...
I don't live in the US (I'm based in Tokyo, Japan), but I know it's very tricky to get alcohol in or out of the US. The best thing to do is check with the people at Bond#1 and see what they say.

Stefan -
Thanks for the response. I will see what they say, but I'm afraid they will still tell me they can't ship to me unless I have a liquor license.
Luckily I managed to get myself a bottle of #3684 and I am very excited to try it!

Governments are increasingly aware of the importance of monitoring and evaluating their policies − including agri-environmental policies − and are devoting efforts to strengthening their monitoring and evaluation systems and capacities. They aim to improve their performance by establishing evidence-based policy-making, evidence-based management and evidence-based accountability, which will help to improve the design and implementation of policies.
This report presents a selection of papers presented at the OECD Workshop on Evaluation of Agri-environmental Policies, held in June 2011 in Braunschweig, Germany.
The report includes case studies of agri-environmental policy evaluation from Belgium, Canada, Finland, Greece, Italy, Korea, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States.

It is well-known that children who read well experience greater progress in their academic studies. However, literature also is a valuable tool for teaching and reinforcing positive social skills that can help keep children on the right track when it comes to behavior. In fact, the power of literature is so strong, that many juvenile correction systems are implementing the use of required reading as an alternative to other types of punishment. Because literature has the potential to inspire positive change in children, parents and other adults who work with youths may want to try a few of the following ideas in order to begin seeing the effects of literature on a child's social and emotional development.
1. Create a ritual. Children thrive on routine. This is especially true for children who come from rough backgrounds or who have been forced to overcome significant challenges. Younger children may benefit from having a set bedtime story ritual, while older children can find a regular reading schedule calming. This way, there is a portion of the day set aside that they can depend upon always being the same.
2. Use a book to approach a difficult issue. Working with children can lead to a need for some difficult conversations. Often, adults and children may struggle with ways to bring up particularly challenging topics. For this reason, books are often the perfect way to introduce specific topics for conversation. Through literature, you can seamlessly ease into topics such as divorce, death, and abuse.
3. Explore a common interest. For many children, bonding is a difficult process. However, when a child shares a common interest with an adult, the child is more likely to trust the adult for advice. This can be especially vital for juveniles to make progress towards their goals for better behavior. For this reason, try finding a common interest that you and your child can explore through reading specific literature and books.
4. Make a memory book. When children attempt to learn how to make better decisions, you can help them learn how to focus on the positive aspects of their lives. In these instances, encourage children to create their own literature. By making memory books, children develop powerful resources to track the positive changes occurring in their lives. In a group setting, each member can choose to create a page that everyone can read.
5. Extend reading through activities. Children learn best when they actively participate in an experience. For this reason, extend a literary assignment to include a physical activity. For example, a child who reads a sports-themed book may then enjoy taking part in a real-life game. This can reinforce the concepts the child learned in the story, such as the importance of teamwork.
When children read books, they are able to enter into a world where learning can take place regarding a variety of subjects. Not only is literature an excellent tool for teaching academics, but it is also a valuable resource for helping children learn positive social skills that will enable them to make better decisions. This is especially true for children who may not have had positive role models in the past. Literature should be an important part of any child's life and supported through the efforts of adults who are dedicated to ensuring the child will have the best opportunities for success.

2. Tuck the hair on the shallow side behind your ear, and sweep it across the back and over your shoulder.
3. Use bobby pins to pin your hair across the back, pinning a few inches behind your ear. It is helpful to use x-large bobby pins.
4. Using a 1 inch curling iron, curl all of your side-swept hair towards your face.
5. Once all of your hair is curled, gently brush out the curls to form a wave.
6. You can add a hair accessory at this point if you'd like to.

Clitoraid Doctors
Dr. Marci Bowers, Renowned Reconstructive Surgeon:
On March 27, 2009, at her Colorado clinic, Dr. Marci Bowers performed the first clitoral repair surgeries ever performed in the United States, successfully restoring clitoral functioning and the capacity for physical pleasure for three FGM victims, referred by CLITORAID.
The first American doctor to volunteer for CLITORAID, she traveled to France through CLITORAID's sponsorship to train directly under Dr. Pierre Foldes, who pioneered this wonderful clitoral repair surgery that restores physical pleasure and dignity.
Dr. Bowers is a pelvic and gynecological surgeon with nearly 25 years experience, and a leading expert in the field of Transgender Healthcare. For 8 years she practiced in Trinidad, Colorado where she trained with the legendary Dr. Stanley Biber, considered the "father of Transgender Surgery". In 2010, she relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area and has now performed over 1000 primary Genital Reassignment Surgeries, as well as performing an additional 240 ancillary gender surgeries per year. Dr. Bowers has also become an international authority on clitoral reconstruction for women who have suffered Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). She has been the subject of numerous documentaries, articles and features including appearances on Oprah, CBS Sunday Morning and Discovery Health. Dr. Bowers was recently honored to be included in the 2012 World Pride Power List, as one of the 100 most influential LGBT people of the year.
The CLITORAID team is enormously grateful that Dr. Bowers has so generously volunteered her time, considerable experience and exceptional surgical skills to assist women eagerly awaiting the clitoral reconstruction procedure.
In her own words:
"The restoration (of sexual pleasure) is possible because the entire clitoris is sensory, not just the amputated portion," Bowers explained. "Sensation is robbed (through FGM) because the amputated portion retracts back and then gets covered by scar tissue. The clitoris is foreshortened by FGM but it isn't removed – not even a majority of it. The restoration surgery exposes the clitoral stump. Then, with plastic surgery techniques, we are able to bring the exposed portion to the surface, suture it there and even create new labia minora in many cases by utilizing the available surrounding skin. The exposed sensory portion, free of overlying skin and scar tissue, is then there to function."
"Sexuality should be considered one of the basic human senses...imagine if we took our children and poked their eyes out in childhood? or their sense of hearing? or even smell? it would be an outrage and we all should feel no less outraged about this process of FGM and how important it is to do what we can to return that sense."

Dr Harold J Henning Jr MD PhD FACOG:
Dr. Henning, is a board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist. He has been in private practice since 1986, and currently lives and practices in the city of Oswego, New York, near the eastern end of Lake Ontario. Born in Kansas, he completed his medical training in that state and later earned a Ph.D. in reproductive physiology. He has been doing gynecologic surgery for about 30 years and did obstetrics for 20 of those years. He has extensive experience in working with women and women's issues.
He was trained under Dr. Bowers in the clitoral restorative surgery and now offers this treatment in Upstate New York serving the surgical needs of FGM on the East Coast while Dr. Bowers covers the West Coast.
Dr. Henning looks forward to also performing the restorative surgery at Clitoraid's new facility in Burkina Faso, unofficially dubbed 'The Pleasure Hospital' by FGM victim volunteers and plans to attend the opening. He plans to donate equipment to the project.
Doctor Henning stressed the importance of community awareness, both in Western countries and in Africa to decrease the occurrence of FGM. "Restoring the sexual pleasure that has been taken away from such victims is the beauty of the corrective surgery, and I look forward to helping these women. After joining the Raelian Movement, my eyes were opened to issues that plague women throughout the world, not just in my local community and that is what led me to be part of Clitoraid's humanitarian medical endeavor."
Dr. John Reid FRCS MBChB MRCGP
I qualified in Cape Town in 1979 and specialized in general surgery. I practiced in the mission hospital environment for several years before moving to England to become a GP where I now work in several clinics in the Bristol area.
My interests in rural African health are second to none and I am motivated on humanitarian and Raelian levels to help alter the world picture for FGM victims if I can. I have met with experts in the field, including Dr Foldes of Paris where I have received instruction in his simple and effective reversal surgical technique.
I am negotiating with British Gynecologists under whose insurance remit the reversal procedure falls in our country to try and spread the word of this simple pioneering approach which involves scar excision initially followed by gentle dissection mobilization of the residual clitoral tissue to fixation on the anterior wall of the vagina. A resting place where this vital organ can reestablish itself and can at last be easily found by future sexual partners!
I look forward to finding my role in the politics, media and therapy of an unfairly mutilated but vital human tissue.
Pre & Post-Operative Program
Pre and Post-operative patient therapy and counseling are essential adjuncts to clitoral repair surgery.
Genital Mutilation is such a severe childhood trauma that psychological counseling is often necessary to assist pre and post op patients mental and emotional health.
Sexual therapy is another aspect of Clitoraid's program. Dr. Foldes insists that post-op women need help in understanding how to find pleasure through stimulation of their reconstructed organ. They also need help adjusting psychologically to the reality of their new physicality, since they have been conditioned since childhood to feel guilty and ashamed about their sexual needs.
Since many FGM victims have never before experienced pleasure through clitoral stimulation, CLITORAID asked several sexologists and psychologists to design an appropriate post-op program to help them achieve it. The program includes both physical and psychological aspects.
Larry Ashley, Associate Professor at UNLV and Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Nevada Scool of medecine:
Because it's just as important to treat the psychological damage done to FGM victims as it is to repair the physical damage, the Clitoraid team was thrilled when Dr. Larry Ashley, a leading expert in sexual trauma, volunteered his services.
Professor Ashley Ed.S., LADC, LMSW, LPC CPGC is an Addictions Specialist and Associate Professor in Residence for the Department of Counselor Education at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He specializes in the treatment of combat and sexual traumas, with a primary focus on the training and mentoring of trauma and addiction professionals.
For Clitoraid, he will assemble and train a team of community providers and graduate students to provide counseling and therapy for FGM victims both before and after surgery. The post-surgical follow-up is especially important, since it will help the women accept and maximize their new capacity for physical pleasure.
Diana Urman, LCSW, licensed psychotherapist, clinical sex therapist and sex educator:
In her private practice in San Francisco, Ms. Urman sees a vast variety of clients with the wide
spectrum of concerns ranging from of lack of intimacy and decreased sexual libido to sexual preferences, gender concerns, transgender support including clients with alternative lifestyles and sexualities. She believes that human sexuality is the source of self knowledge, exploration, and opportunity for personal growth and development.
She views sexuality not from the disfunction-based model but rather from the prospective of pleasure and quality of life.
Her professional and personal goal is to serve humanity by assisting her clients in the process of self healing and growth realizing their full potential through expressing their sexuality which she views as a basic human right.

Betty Dodson, Ph.D., Famous Sexologist, Artist and Author:
Betty Dodson, Ph.D., is an artist, author and sex educator as well as an international authority on women's sexuality. She achieved worldwide recognition for three groundbreaking, erotic art exhibitions in the 1960's and 70's before leaving the art world to become a feminist activist and public advocate for women's sexual liberation.
In 1973, she began running sexual CR (consciousness-raising) groups for women that later became her Bodysex Groups. Under Dodson's tutelage, women in these groups learned to appreciate the beauty of their genitals as well as to explore the varied experiences of orgasm through masturbation.
Dodson has a private practice in New York City and maintains an active Web site:
the past 10 years, Dodson has provided guidance to help women in Africa who suffered female genital mutilation (FGM) regain some sense of pleasure via her videos and suggestions about how to use various sexual gadgets.

Come on, really? I signed up for a couple of these sites a few months ago. After about a week, I did the math (based on how many surveys I was given each day and the number of points they were worth), and I realized that it would take me at least a year to make over ten bucks from each site.
Can I Really Make Money Taking Surveys?
Like many of you, I am always on the lookout for ways to earn a little extra money — and being a stay-at-home mom, I was looking for something I could do from home. I started my internet research approximately 1 1/2 years ago. The information I found along the way was interesting, encouraging, and a little disappointing. Here is what I have found.
What does a survey company do?
Survey companies are hired by other companies to prepare paid surveys for new products or television ads before they share them with the masses. Depending on the survey company, in a typical day you could watch a movie preview, read about a new cereal, share your opinions about cell phones, or watch a video about current affairs.
What will I get paid?
Survey companies pay in a variety of ways. Some will give you points for each survey that you complete that may be redeemed for cash, merchandise, or entries into giveaways. Some companies will pay you directly when you have reached a pre-set amount of banked money. Still others only give you chances to enter giveaways. Knowing ahead of time what each company offers will help you to make an informed decision on which ones to sign up with. An added bonus to participating in surveys is that many times companies want you to try their new products, so you will receive free items in the mail to test and give your feedback on. In recent months I have tested shoes, gum, deodorant, toilet paper, make-up, perfume, frozen food, and dog food.
How much time will this take?
That really depends on you. I have personally signed up with over 40 survey companies. All of the companies will e-mail you when there is a survey available. Some companies will send you multiple surveys a day while others might send you one once a month. Many of the companies will tell you ahead of time how long they estimate the survey will take to complete. I find that most of the time it does not take me as long as the estimate to complete the survey. The more time you have to invest in taking surveys, the more rewards you will receive.
How do I get started?
Here is a long list of survey companies that are legitimate. Each company will ask you to fill out a demographic profile. The reason for this is so that they can send you surveys that you will qualify for. If you don't smoke, there is no reason to send you a survey about cigarettes. Keep in mind that there will still be many surveys that you will not qualify for. I qualify for about 40% of the ones I try.
I recently spoke to Brad White from United Sample, a company that hosts several on-line survey companies, and he said that 70% of the people that sign up with his company never take the time to fill out the profile and never do another survey. There could be many reasons for this. Perhaps the excitement of earning money wears off quickly, or the time commitment is more than some people anticipated.
Do I need to pay anything?
Never. If you come across a survey company that is asking you for money, stay clear. Legitimate companies need you and are willing to pay you for your time.
My Personal Favorites
Here is a list of survey companies that I have had the most success:
I took the time to calculate the amount of money I received in 2009 from taking on-line surveys and it was over $1,000. Not bad for a stay-at-home mom doing this in between cooking, cleaning, and shuttling kids around. I wish you the best of luck in your pursuit. You can do it too!

Do you know cashcrate accepts members from all parts of the world, though some country residents may not get that much surveys but recently they added cash tasks that are available to all over the world people but also they are plenty in number.
So no complaints anymore that you do NOT have many options to earn.

I generally fill out surveys when I'm watching TV or during downtime at work. (Or when I'm bored.) Mostly, I use the money I earn as gifts for friends or family. I've probably earned around 100 dollars worth of gift cards through three different sites in the last couple years, plus a lot of magazine subscriptions (usually cheaper to cash in than actual cash prizes.)
I, too, am a member of many of those survey sites. After 2 years of filling out surveys, I ditched many of them and stuck with Pinecone Research because:
a) they have no payout minimum.
b) they pay fast - next day via Paypal.
c) they actually send you product samples to test.
d) I don't have you answer 40 questions before saying "Sorry, you don't qualify".
I've earned over $300 and I'm sticking with them only - the others just aren't worth my time.
That was my biggest problem too, it was very frustrating to spend 10-15 minutes answering questions only to be told I didn't qualify for the full survey. It's been a few years now and I forget which company I was working with but I never actually qualified for the full survey, yet I had spent hours filling out surveys.
I'll have to give Pinecone a try, thanks for the tip.
They are open now briefly for new members...try again.
Hi Simon,
I read your comments on Pinecone Research, I have been trying to get on their signup website and on the Scott website to try and signup and not been able to get on either one. Is there a better website that I can go on.
I would appreciate your help and Thank you.
They only open up for new members occasionally. I just read they opened up again today so try it soon!
As much as I try, most of the surveys I try to do don't want my opinion. I've tried over a hundred surveys at Surveyhead and only have been able to complete ONE. So unless the other websites are better about actually wanting your opinion, I don't think it's worth my time.
I've tried pinecone research just to see what it was all about, but ultimately I find myself ignoring most of the survey requests that I get. They make it easier to get paid by adding a paypal method. Each survey there takes about 10-15 minutes and you get paid $3 per. I think for some people this could be a nice activity to do while sitting in front of the TV, but don't expect to quit your day job.
I also have tried surveys and found them to be too much time for too little money. It would come out to less than $1/hr for my time. Also, the ones that give you only entries into a drawing are a total waste of time! Even if you only go for the cash or points surveys, they still have very little payout for your time. You will have to take a ton up front and will only qualify for a few.
Pinecone is a great survey site. I also like RewardTv.com I've gotten several gift cards answering tv trivia questions from that site. They also have short surveys for extra points.
I've tried several of those sites over the past year and haven't received a single survey. Surely there's something I qualify for, yes?
I am about to give surveys a try and had planned on researching which ones were the best ones. Thank you for highlighting the ones you have found most successful! Between your list and the comments, it sounds like PineCone is the one to start with.
I'm curious, do you know how much time you spent actually submitting surveys in 2009? Are they time consuming to do?
Thanks again!
hi i just saw that u wanted to give surveys a try..u should try fusion cash..this site is easy to use and pays u how u want to be paid: cheek, pay-pal, or even direct deposit..most other sites don't do that.. u even get 5 $ for just signing up..i gave u my reference link.. the surveys don't take that much time to do.. and what i really like about FC is that u don't just get payed to take surveys thats just a small part u also get paid to watch intro video's..play games..its a very cool site..i think the best one i have found so far!! so if you are interested just use the link i gave u to join..and have fun!!! http://www.fusioncash.net/?ref=denaw1337
But as I know, making money by taking surveys is a long-time job and you need to spend many time and vigor to fill out the form or answer the question. If one day you were sick , then the income stopped.
I think build a website and put some Google adsense maybe a better choice , because the website is hardly "sick" and would serve there 24 hours a day , and 7 days a week.
But anyway, thanks.

Not sure, but I bet you work on those surveys a lot to make over $1,000 on them. Most of us probably wouldn't want to put in the time you do to make that. Not that I'm saying it's bad; I think it's cool that you do it, but I kinda put that up there with Amazon's Mechanical Turk. You can make a lot of money with that, too, but 10 cents at a time.
but there is a lot of money to be made in affiliate marketing for the same amount of effort put in if you'd rather do something like that.
In my experience, if you're extremely frugal like we are, and buy used with cash, cook from scratch, don't own a home, don't have cable, or rent movies, don't eat out, don't smoke or drink, you rarely qualify for surveys. By it's very nature surveys are used to zero in on consumers and their preferences.
I use MyPoints because you qualify for points (which are redeemed for gift cards) by doing Internet searches, exploring free offers, in addition to regular surveys. It's certainly not much and IS time consuming. But it's something, and I'd do Internet searches anyway. May take a whack at the other sites you mentioned though. Thanks.
I signed up with a lot of survey companies and weeded out the ones I didn't seem to qualify for. So now I am down to about 10, and I admit I don't take all the surveys sent to me. But I do take about 50%, and have a pretty good qualification rate. I have noticed that sometimes I take a long survey I don't qualify for, and then get a follow-up survey question that leads to a product test, so I wonder if they use that as a weeding out process at times. I dunno.
Great article and right on target! I've been taking surveys for about seven years now and love them. A big mistake a lot of people make is to register with just one or two companies to "try it out". You will never get a decent amount of surveys that way!
First off you wont get rich on any of these sites. And many sites extolling the virtues of these survey companies don't mention they get some of kind of kickback themselves when you sign up through their link.
I got spoiled as the first one I tried was Pinecone Research. They are fast, courteous, professional, and they must do better at filtering my surveys just for me because I qualify for most of what they send me. And I have had the opportunity to test some new products as well.
The other ones I have tried are timewasters. I don't qualify for anything they send me. Surveys that have only been in my box are already closed in less than an hour. They say surveys take 20 minutes and it ends up taking an hour. I fill out a lengthy survey (not just a screener) only to be told at the end of it that they already have all the responses they want from others. WTF?! Why didnt you say that before I took the hour survey. They redirect you to other less savory survey companies like OTX/OpinionShare. You tell them you dont travel by air and they send you air travel surveys etc.
I used to check out SurveyPolice.com before signing up but they list 'Opinion Outpost' at number 3 currently and they are one of the worst offenders.
I have gotten a better payback through Swagbucks and MyPoints than most of the legit survey sites.
Thank you for compiling the list. I've only tried opinion outpost from your list and haven't had any luck from them. I took the time to fill out all the profile information and set everything up which took a fair amount of time. Then I started receiving surveys that required a survey to take the survey... after getting rejected about 20 times I eventually quit... just wasn't worth it and in the end I spend several hours and made a big whopping zero.
Hi everyone,
If you are trying to access the list of surveys, my site is currently down. The company that hosts my site had been attacked by a hacker and is hoping to be back up and running by 7pm PST. Thanks for your patience!
It has been very interesting reading all of your comments on taking surveys. I have only shared my story and the success I have had. My husband does say I am a very patient person. I will watch a bad movie and finish a book even if it is slow. I truly have had success with most of the companies and have not posted the ones I hardly ever hear from. Surveys are not for everyone. We are all different and have different priorities. But for me, as a stay-at-home mom, the little extra income and free items to try out have been lots of fun. The surveys are my time to get away from cleaning and cooking and just unwind.
Thank you for taking the time to read what I experienced and I wish you the best of luck in whatever venture you find rewarding.

a Mom with a plan and a vehicle to get there!
I have done these surveys online for years now. Whenever I'm bored, I go through all the survey emails, and do a bunch.
I have earned a little money here and there. Recently, I checked my account in one site, that I forgot about, and I had enough points to get a $50 check in the mail. That was pleasant! I've also tested products they've sent me, such as deoderant, feminine pads, etc...it's always nice to have a freebie.
But yeah, the amount I earn, and the time it takes to earn it, isn't very good.
My friend sits and does them ALL DAY long, and in one year, she earned enough money (she saved it in a separate account) to buy a large LCD TV.
But that's a LOT of time taken!!
And she's gotten some good products from them, too, to try out and report back on how they work. One of them was a "Flip" video camera.
It just takes a LOT of time, is all.
Great article!
I agree with most of the comments above. Doing a bit of research before you start and picking reputable survey companies is very important.
Having realistic goals is important, too. Unless you are very persistent, have a lot of time to invest, and pretty lucky, you might find it difficult to rack up $1000 a year. It can be done, as the author shows, but it ain't easy!
If you are already online a lot anyway, and especially if you are unemployed, you can make surveys pay. If you stop and analyze how much you are earning an hour it might seem like a pittance. But then again, how much money do you usually make surfing the web? Zero, right? In my book, something is better than nothing. A LOT better.
Plus, sometimes surveys can be a heck of a lot of fun. Sometimes you get the chance to comment on products you actually use. Sometimes you get to see new products before anyone else. Someimes you they send you these products to test before anyone else has seen them in a store. How cool is that? Very!
You can make money online doing surveys- you have to be careful who you trust & watch out for spam.
I just came across this really helpful resource the other day and they seem really reliable and trust-worthy
i don't know much about surveys but i have tried one company and i was get scammed. am afraid to try again
Great information thanks for sharing this.
I think that paid surveys are the best way for people to start making money online.I can tell that from my own experience.Last year I started that online business, now I make more than $1000, and I work only several days per week.The good things about surveys is that you can start working immediately.Absolutely no skills needed.Typically there are two types of survey sites - paid and free.I would recommend you to join free survey site at start, because there is no need to pay for membership.Here is one site that is 100% legitimate and 100% free for registration:
Some time ago, I needed to buy a house for my business but I didn't earn enough cash and could not buy anything. Thank heaven my mother proposed to try to get the business loans at reliable creditors. Hence, I acted that and was satisfied with my short term loan.
I've been with LightSpeed for a few years but they have really deteriorated, recently. In the last few months, I have taken several surveys which mysteriously crashed after they had collected actual sample data. And I have taken a bunch of surveys where they collected real data and then told me I didn't qualify. In the past, these kinds of deal-breaker questions were always the first ones asked, not long after your age, income, ZIP-code and whether or not you're planning on buying an "X" in the next six months. In the beginning I was so happy I sent friends to LightSpeed. Now at least one says she lies on surveys, to get paid for the ones that she feels they've stolen information from. Until this last year, they always paid quickly, though. In the last year I had to wait three weeks for a $10 reward to Amazon.com, once.
I have started to sign up for surveys several times, but I always stop after a few screens once I realize how much personal information is being sent to an unknown source.
How do you justify revealing so much detail that will be stored on a system that could get hacked for a few dollars?
I cant tell what sites (http://momsfunmoney.com/survey-companies.php) on your page are the ads??and which ones you are saying we should look at?
Can you please clarify for us? Which are the adds and which are not?
I probably make at least $500/year on surveys. I didn't go gung-ho and join a whole bunch of sites because I didn't want to waste my time taking surveys for a site that would take me a year to reach a payout point (and by that point have forgotten about the site). I decided to choose a handful that I could definitely remember and keep track of my progress.
There were a couple that I decided to drop after reaching a good cashout point since it had just taken too long. One is Memolink... goodness, it must've taken me 2 years to get $20. I'm about to drop MyPoints; it took me 3 years to get $100. I don't think I want to use InboxDollars or SnapDollars after I reach the cashout point with them since it takes forever to get cash by clicking emails and I'm not interested in taking surveys with them.
My favorites are: ZoomPanel (their rewards used to suck until they started offering Amazon gift cards; now I'm flying through the cash), GlobalTestMarket (just cashed another $50 check), SurveyHead (TONS of new surveys, good payout, make over $100/year), Lightspeed Panel - now MySurvey, Ipsos i-Say, and e-Rewards.
I have been on almost every survey sight online
I made 15 dollars in 3 years you can use your time more wisely
than taking these hyped scammy type surveys
be bette off learning to sew or cook dinner every noght
instead of going out than doing any of these surveys
I've been doing these survey's for almost a month and everytime I do a survey they say I'm not qualified. I don't know which company is good and which one is bad. I'm a stay at home mom of five and I thought this would be a good source of income to make. But now I feel like it was a mistake. Will I ever make money off of this? How come you have to buy something in order to get gift cards for "FREE"?
well i know i been doing surveys online for maybe 1 year now and i started off makeing 40 to 50 a mounth,
now i make 250 a mounth not bad and i could earn more maybe say 350 to 400 a mounth but i get tierd sometimes on the computer and want to go out lol
but i heard of people makeing around 500 too 600 a mouth doing this not bad at all
i ask no one for cash this is my way of keeping money in my pocket
im plaing a trip and every doller i spend for my trip is from doing surveys its even great when you learn to save this money in time always builds up
those people saying they earn 15dollers in 3 mounths arent doing it right ill say this its not for everyone
what works for me may not work for you! but those doing it knows!
good luck
I was really worried about making money with surveys at first because I kept hearing scams. But when it comes down to it you can't get scammed unless you send your social or CC out there. Just be smart about it people and keep your head on! I started using this (in which I heard from my friend) He did it on the side and eventually just made extra money to pay his bills and stuff. It worked for me to and all ya reall need to do it confirm your email. See if its for you.
points2shop is a great site for making money. it is the easiest site to make money on and, unlike many other survey sites, it actually does give you valuable rewards. You can get just about anything from points2shop, as they have a joint partnership with amazon. You can also earn money, which you can get via a cheque or paypal account. there is no better site than points2shop, it can be guaranteed. You can make money in a short period of time. You just have to do simple surveys and do offers for example, order a free brochure and you will get more than 100 points.
Have a look at the site and see for yourself!
I Love Cash Crate. They have an app so I can do them on the go. Waiting in line or stuck in traffic, they pay on the 1st and 20th and the minimum to cash out is only 20.00
. I love it because they tell you ahead of time which offers ask you to pay money and it is so easy to do.
Check it out you will love it!
I really have to recommend Iconzoomer as one of the most underestimated survey sites.
I hate questionnaires so I prefer sites where you answer otherwise. I use their android app and receive assignments every week which I answer with photos. And the good part is that I can cash out with paypal. Try it out and let me know if you find anything that beat this.
I understand that there are lot of sites out there that promise lots of money and most of them would just give you disappointment. I myself is a stay-at-home mom and I do online surveys on my spare time. The ones that are listed in this article are good, but for me, that is not the whole list. There are handfuls of other survey companies that do a good job and will really pay for your time. I tend to look at survey review sites like ratethissurvey.com or surveypolice.com in deciding if a survey site is good and it helps me a lot as a starter. You could also try the BBB, but they are not specialized in evaluating survey companies. I hope this helps someone out there.
Have problems with coursework writing? Do not realize where to come? Worry no more! Custom writing services propose to order coursework online of premium standards.
Pundzter is a free service that lets anyone with a phone (including a cell phone) get paid to take calls from pollsters and other businesses that need to talk to the public.
When you sign up with Pundzter.com, you set your own rate. We then connect you to businesses that agree to pay your price. And you're paid your rate for as long as you're on the phone. All your information stays anonymous. You can set specific times when you are available to take calls. It is perfect for someone looking to earn extra income.
I have tried so many survey sites. I finally found three that I have good luck with: Opinion Outpost, Inbox Dollars, and Cash Crate. I have received a check or paypal credit from them all so I know they pay. You won't get rich with them, but I have made $50 in just the past 10 days. Surveys take patience, but if you have the free time and will already be on the internet, it's worth it.
Great article. Survey is a great way to make money online. Although you might not get rich, but at least you can pay some of your bills, and they are all free to work with.
Surveysavvy is legit and they actually pay cash. Best one I've found so far and I've tried quite a bit lol. I've been a member since 2010 and I average around 4 to 5 hundred a year.
I use iWadi.net. They pay through PayPal for each completed survey. I also like Toluna but sometimes they send to much e-mails.
I have been participating in Paid Online Surveys for around 2 months now and just cleared $450 only spending half an hour here and there taking surveys. It helps if you are in a high demand demographic :)
The best survey site for me at least is Swagbucks. It is one of the few legitimate sites that I have encountered in my 5+ years of experience, making me close to $1000 last year with minimal effort.
Using this link and entering the code "freegiftcards", you can start out with a load of free swagbucks
Good luck making money!!
One site that people have success with making money from surveys is surveyhomebeginnings. The results vary from person to person but people do make money off completing surveys.

Kona-Bound: The Winners React
We caught up with a few of the Lottery and Legacy athletes heading to the IRONMAN World Championship this October, on the heels of the good news.
Today's big reveal of the 205 lucky athletes heading to Kona this year was a celebration heard throughout the triathlon world. We contacted six of the ecstatic athletes to learn more about their journey, and get a glimpse of their reaction to the news. Click here to view all the winners.
Racing in memory of his father
Chris Scapillato, 33, has been entering the Lottery program since 2009, after competing his first IRONMAN in Nice, France. We reached him in his New York Morgan Stanley office, where he'd been refreshing the IRONMAN website since just before noon. Scapillato says he was anxious all morning, but as it got closer to noon, his nervousness increased.
"Then there it was, this image of the guy running down the finish chute. I followed the link, did a quick control F, found my name, and figured there weren't a lot of Scapillatos racing. I felt the full range of emotions, short disbelief, extreme happiness and excitement. I even cried a little, because of the thought of my dad not being here to see me race Kona," he said. (Scapillato's father passed away this past January). Scapillato immediately called his wife, and texted some friends who'd done the race before.
A swimmer in his youth turned competitive runner in high school, he was introduced to triathlon by friends and was quickly hooked by his first race, IRONMAN France, 2009. When it came to training this year, he says it was tough to train through New York's unusually brutal winter. Scapillato plans to complete IRONMAN 70.3 Timberman in August, as well as another race in June or July as a "litmus test" for his fitness. "At least I have the next six months of my life planned out for me now," he said.
A 10-year long dream come true
Holly Grammer, of Fort Worth Texas, is signed up for IRONMAN Texas next month but is now having second thoughts. Why? Because this afternoon she got the very exciting news that she'd won the Kona Lottery after 10 years of entering.
"Oh my God this is so exciting," the 46-year-old engineer repeated over an over when we contacted her at work. "This is just incredible. I was in a long meeting in my office and then went online as soon as it was over to check. There I was, going through the alphabet—I thought it was by last name at first, but then I realized it was by first name," she gushed, recounting how she found out the news. She said she called her boyfriend first, and then ran around work screaming and hollering. "Unless you do the sport, you don't really get it," she says. "But people get me, and understand that this is what I do." Grammer says she's going to print out the list, highlight her name, and tack it to her office door.
Grammer is an engineer with Novardis, who makes intra ocular lenses (IOL) for people who've had cataract surgery. They are looking for approval from the FDA this year, and Grammer is hoping her luck will continue. "It's a very rewarding job," she says.
The news has cast her race schedule in a new light, which was supposed to kick off next month with IRONMAN Texas in the Woodlands. "I'll be 47 this year, so any extra miles on the knees doesn't bode well," she says. Grammer may opt to withdraw from the race, saving up her big effort for Kona in October, or she may "just finish" rather than allowing her competitiveness to shine through. Having completed four IRONMAN races, from Cozumel to Coeur d'Alene, Grammer sees her upcoming first-ever trip to the Big Island as a dream come true. "I really don't know how to put it in words," she says.
Paula's power glide
Paula van Nostrand (Toronto, Canada) found out she was doing her first IRONMAN from a friend. He came back from IRONMAN Lake Placid in 2002 and told her he'd signed her up and she owed him $450.
"I never forgave him, but I often thank him," the 47-year-old nurse from Toronto, Ontario, Canada says. "IRONMAN has changed my life for the better."
Growing up in England, van Nostrand was hardly athletic. She did her first triathlon when a client told her about a triathlon she was doing in seven weeks. She did that first race and caught the bug, which led to the race in Lake Placid.
Today she learned she'll be competing at the event every IRONMAN athlete dreams of attending: the IRONMAN World Championship presented by GoPro. When she got the news she did "a little hula dance, jumped up and down," and then went into a meeting.
IRONMAN racing truly has changed van Nostrand's life. After the race in Lake Placid a fellow competitor (John van Nostrand) ended up asking her out for a date – the two would marry two years later. They even spent their honeymoon on the Big Island, where they volunteered at the IRONMAN World Championship, in 2006, so this won't be van Nostrand's first time in Kona, but it will be the first time, after 12 IRONMAN races, that she'll be racing there. Van Nostrand has come close to qualifying a few times during her triathlon career, but hasn't had any luck with a spot rolling down.
You'd never believe it based on her incredibly upbeat personality, but van Nostrand hasn't had a lot of luck with her health, either. Just months after she and John were married she learned that she had a brain tumor on her pituitary gland. It didn't take her long to get back to racing after the ensuing brain surgery and she steadily added up the IRONMAN tally that would qualify her for a lottery spot.
Last year she got some more news that would slow anyone else down – the issues with her pituitary have led to arthritis in her ankles. The doctor's ordered her to stop running. No problem – not for the ever-positive van Nostrand. She created her own version of a speed walk (she calls it "Paula's Power Glide") and cruised to an impressive 11:14 finish at IRONMAN Florida last November, continuing her trend of ever-faster IRONMAN races since she started.
The IRONMAN Legacy works best when people like Paula van Nostrand get their chance to fulfill a life's dream. We're looking forward to seeing her in Kona.
Inspired by being there
In 1996 Trent Dilkie decided he needed a change. Overweight and burned out from work, he quit his job and trained for IRONMAN Canada. The race in Penticton was his third triathlon and he finished in 11:38.
He says that "changed direction in life" has ensured he's not weighing in at 265 lbs and working 80-hour weeks. He was quite happy to competing at triathlon events and the occasional IRONMAN until he went to Kona in 2011 and suddenly realized how much he really wanted to compete at the IRONMAN World Championship.
"It was much more inspiring than I thought it would have been," the 52-year-old from Toronto says.
The following year IRONMAN began the Legacy program, which prompted Dilkie to begin an IRONMAN mission to get himself from five finishes to the magic number 12 he needed to be eligible. Two years in a row he competed at back-to-back races in IRONMAN Mont-Tremblant and IRONMAN Canada.
When he learned earlier today that he'll be competing at the IRONMAN World Championship in October, Dilkie said he was "both thrilled and nervous." In October his two sons will join him in Hawaii to watch him compete – the first time since 1996 that they'll have seen him race a full-distance event. It'll be his chance to do some of the inspiring that got him to the line.
A couple's triathlon journey
Joan Tranmer, 60, did her first triathlon in her hometown of Kingston, Ontario, Canada in 1984. When she and her partner, Peter Brown, 63, first met 13 years later, he couldn't even swim a length of a pool.
"He was an overworked surgeon who didn't have the best lifestyle," Tranmer, a nursing professor at Queens University, remembers.
It didn't take long, though, for Brown to both learn how to swim and get hooked on the sport. He did his first triathlon in 1998. Tranmer might have introduced him to multi-sport racing, but it was Brown who got her to take on a full-distance race. They did their first at IRONMAN Florida in 2005 and have since become regular IRONMAN finishers.
Getting the news that they'd be competing in Kona left Tranmer both "petrified and excited."
Tranmer has been involved in the sport almost since it began here in Canada. Brown embodies the very spirit of IRONMAN racing. They'll both have the chance to compete at the sport's most prestigious event this October.

1991 Resto - I Have A Feeling It's Going To Be A Long Winter...
Some of you have seen that I've been looking for an MC for a while now. I kept finding them in my price range, but every deal would fall through because the boat didn't have what we wanted, it was in too rough of shape for the price, or the seller's communication was terrible. Well I can finally say that I'm an owner of a '91 mastercraft prostar 190. We weren't even going to look at it, but I got a text this morning and we ran right out and looked at it. Luckily it was only an hour and a half drive, as opposed to 10+ hours that we were considering looking at.
Anyway, the boat has seen some hard use over the years, but it seems to runs strong, and a great boat to start out on. It has a lot of nicks and scratches from skis and such, but no structural damage fortunately. I'm not looking to restore this boat, but I do want to touch up whatever I can for as little as possible. And that's why I'll probably be on here asking a lot of questions. I've already found quite a bit of info on other people's threads, and can hardly wait to get out to the lake!
First off, we need to flush the transmission, and I just wanted to clarify what is recommended. I hear a lot of people say Dexron 3. This is a powerslot, if that makes any difference. If we happen to get a warmer, clear weekend day (tomorrow maybe?), we'll bring it to the lake and make sure everything works. After that, it's time to give it some tlc.
There's a lot of nicks in the gel-coat; what do you guys suggest to fill it? We'll also need some touch-up paint that matches as closely as possible. I like pictures, and I'm sure y'all do too, so I'll be posting as many as I can.
Then the windshield frame that's worn out. I saw a guy on here paint his and it looked nice. Is that going to be the easiest/cheapest way to go?
The upholstery is showing its age. I won't replace all of it, but a couple of seat covers were "re-done" and look awful.
The fenders seem to be in great shape. I think we're just going to pull them off and buff 'em out.
Not sure how long it sat outside, but there's quite a bit of oxidation. Nothing bad, will just take some elbow grease...
Looks like a buggered up crack on the teak. My dad still has some teak wood left over, so hopefully it's long enough to replace that board. Then I'll give it some much needed teak oil. Any recommendations?
It's hard to see in the pic, but that middle floor piece is sagging/broken and needs to be replaced. May just use some ply-wood and re-cover it.
I'd like to replace the windshield seal. Where can I find this?
Any place I can get new cup holders that fit?
Steering wheel is beat up. I saw some guy get a replacement at some auto shop. I'm just looking for something cheap that looks similar and won't cover the gauges.
I don't know what it's called, but the rubber bumper guard is all scratched up from running into things about 16 million times... Can I just replace the rubber strip? It looks like it just pops in there.
This will probably be later on down the list, but I'd like to replace the side decals with some factory-looking ones. Anywhere I can get them done for a reasonable price?
The engine is quiet and seems to run strong. We'll find out for sure soon. I'm extremely anxious to test out the highly praised 'powerslot'. My dad owned an '83 MC back in 90s, then bought a Gecko in '98, but sold it after a few years, so I was never really old enough to get into skiing.
We wanted to get an '87-'90, but I think we'll be happy with this.

Skidog can hook you up with a new wood cupholder setup
Jim @ baws can do your decals,
Yes dexron 3 or whatever newer variant is what to use in a powerslot,
Should be a fun project and looks like a good starter, good luck.

You say you don't want to do a restoration, but I bet that may happen. (eventually!)
My $.02 on the windshield: carefully remove it, sand the rough spots on the frame, prime and paint it. It would be nice to powdercoat it, but you would have to complete disassemble it, not sure you're up for that. While the windshield is off, buff the deck with some compound. When you re-install it, get some high density foam weatherstripping at Menard's (I see you're in Minnesota) that will work just fine .
Ha, well I'm known to be cheap, but the longer I decide to keep it, the more we'll end up doing to it. That doesn't sound too difficult to do. I wish we had a pole barn already (winters are impossible to work in without heat).
Is it just the cup holders that are wood? Not sure it would match the rest of the boat. How much do you suppose the side decals would be?
It looks like most of your repairs are just cosmetic, and those should be easy to care for. You have a great boat on your hands - enjoy it. I like the colors a lot.

Broken Bow, OK vacation cabin for rent -
Bakes for SS cupholders that are affordable and fit.
Redline decals from ebay for all decal on the 91-94.
Rub the gel out, sand and oil the teak.
Go through all the easy stuff on engine (hoses, filters, fluids, cap/rotor, plug wires, plugs, and so on).
Looks like it will clean up well with a winter to work on it!
Congrats on your new boat.

Gel repair kits often can be tinted. I have used a product called powerpoxy, it's marine underwater epoxy, which works well on white gel and is very durable. Hard to find an exact match, but this looks better than a chip and has been pretty close the times I've used it. You'll love that flitepipe if you plan to use a boom as well. Just start with one small to project and then do whatever's next. Before you know it she'll be in showroom condition.

Thanks for the tips so far guys. We will definitely be using the barefoot boom and the Flitepipe (didn't even know what it was called), which made this buy a little better. We didn't want a tower, so it will be really nice to have when friends go with for wake boarding and even skiing.
If/when I get that far, those decals from Redline should work, thanks. Plastic would be fine, but stainless holders would be nice too. What size will fit? Any tutorials on how to rub the gel coat out? What is recommended tranny fluid? (Never mind, just checked the manual and it said Dexron). I'll check out that powerpoxy. I also forgot to post a picture of a pretty big gouge on the front of the bow where they must've ran into something. I'll take a pic tomorrow.

Should be able to get plastic or stainless from skidim.com west marine or overtons no problem. Just measure the ones you're taking out. First step would likely be a medium cut rubbing compound. Take your time and don't run fast in one spot for a period of time. Keep the buffer moving. If that's not enough you can go to a heavier cut compound, or even wet sand. Follow with muliple coats of high quality wax. Search through the old threads and you'll find lots of info and advice. Check the manual, but should be Dex3 fluid.

Try Spectrum Color for Gel Coat repair paste. I've used their products with very good success. It'll be hard to get a good match after all the fading but it should still be close. Powder coating is pretty cheap to do around here and will give you a better finish. You should be able to get the windshield off then take it in the house to prep it for the powder coater.
I had a 76 Sea Ray in similar condition and basically refinished all the parts I could get in the house over the winter then finished the rest of the boat as the weather got better in the spring. You'd be amazed what you can take apart and get in your basement when you really want to work on something.

According to new data out of the UK, "More men over 45 got genital herpes in 2009 than men aged 16 to 19." The Family Planning Association claims that adults over 45 are "oblivious" when it comes to condoms.
As part of Generation X, I was taught, quite early on, that if you don't use a condom, you will die. Or get something that burns. But the FPA's Julie Bentley says of over-45s: "There is very little sexual health information and services for this age group, and current campaigns, however good, are exclusively for the young."
And the need for safe sex among these folks is urgent:
The number of cases of chlamydia among women over 45 has also shot up 95 per cent in nine years.
NINETY-FIVE PERCENT. Is it time to call your mom and/or dad and give them "the talk"?

The matter in Kansas: All of a sudden, the Senate race in Kansas is looking like it could be an impediment to Republicans' hopes of retaking the chamber this fall. The withdrawal Wednesday by Democrat Chad Taylor paves the way for a serious third-party contender against Republican Sen. Pat Roberts and jolts the GOP's calculus for winning the Senate. As Politico reports, one recent poll showed independent candidate Greg Orman leading Roberts in a head-to-head matchup. Kansas was once viewed as a lock for the GOP, but it may now emerge as a critical race in determining whether Republicans return to power. They need six seats to win the majority.
They endorsed who? In a rare move, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce endorsed a Democrat, Rep. Scott Peters of California. As The Wall Street Journal reports, Peters became just the fourth Democrat to carry the Chamber's endorsement this year and the first running in a truly competitive election. Chamber CEO Tom Donohue wrote to Peters in a letter that the congressman's support for pro-business issues won him the group's endorsement. But whether the Chamber backs its endorsement with television ads or spending to influence his race is another matter, the Journal says.
South of the border: Hillary Clinton will be in Mexico Friday for an event hosted by a charity founded by billionaire Carlos Slim. Bloomberg reports Clinton will be the second potential presidential candidate to visit Mexico this week, following New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. U.S. law bans foreigners like Slim from giving to political campaigns, but a Slim-backed charity gave at least $1 million to the Clinton Foundation's drive to raise $250 million for its endowment.
Republicans rebuffed: Export-Import Bank President Fred Hochberg rebuffed a request from the House Financial Services Committee for interviews with top bank officials, the Hill reports. Hochberg told Republicans on the committee he has no plans to allow his staff to sit down for interviews with House staffers as Congress battles over renewal of the bank's charter. The bank will shut down if Congress doesn't reauthorize its charter by Sept. 30.
War drums: Expect lawmakers to turn up the volume for going to war with ISIS when they return to Washington next week. Business Insider reports a bipartisan consensus has emerged in Congress to immediately begin debating whether to authorize President Barack Obama to use force against the group's militants in both Iraq and Syria. "The war drums definitely seem to be beating," a congressional aide told Business Insider.
