ON THE eve of another gameweek, it's only right I haul my lazy bones over the already-dead embers of last weekend's fixtures.
Madara 11 is top for a second week running.
Well done to them.
Also climbing almost a week ago were second and third placed CarrollDowningJäger and Fawlty Torres.
Well done to them too.
Highest scorer in gameweek six – the brilliantly-named Tekkerslovakia, whose 89 point haul moved them up to 18th.
Very well done.
And a special mention goes to me, as I scored 84 and moved up to 49th – on the first page of teams in the league.
Well done me.
Addict Gazza is hooked on sweets
ENGLAND legend Paul Gascoigne has described "the pain" of knowing he might start drinking again even though he recognises it might kill him – and has turned his addictive personality to an addiction to sweets.
A new documentary about the former England footballer reveals he is now addicted to the sweet treats, and that he spends £1,000 a year on anti-wrinkle jabs to counteract the ravages of drinking.
Gascoigne, who played for teams including Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur, was followed by a film crew for three months for an ITV documentary after his return from a treatment clinic in the United States where he overheard doctors say he might die.
The 46-year-old told the filmmakers: "I just remember one bit after the third day of being in hospital when he said 'I don't think this guy is going to make it' and I sort of put my head up a little bit and I was like, tubes in my arms and an oxygen tank injecting round my heart and lungs and that. I just come forward and I went 'I don't want to die I need to water the plants' and that was it and then I woke up two weeks later."
Gascoigne, who describes himself as "an addictive personality", said: "With me now if I did have a drink and relapse, it's like becoming tipsy and merry is okay for a couple of days but like the next mouthful I'm so down, I'm so depressed, I cry. I do all that because I know inside I'm hurting myself again. I know where I'm heading, a wooden box. Or I'm back in treatment or hospital. Or getting sectioned."
Goaltastic Fantasy Football League gameweek five
THERE'S a new leader at the summit of the table this week, with movement throughout the top teams – in fact everyone rises or falls from first up to 13th.
Current leader by one point is Madara11, ahead of joint second-placed teams Team and Just Another Team.
Just Another Team clearly isn't just another team though – they were this gameweek's top scorers with a tantalisingly-close-to-triple-figures 99 points.
Paper suggests playing Qatar 2022 World Cup at night
WITH suggestions that a winter World Cup may be needed to allow winning bidder Qatar to host the 2022 footballing showpiece, an inspired suggestion has been put forward by the Mirror – play the tournament at night.
In his article here, journalist Ed Malyon proposes a nighttime tournament, which would allow the tournament to go ahead in cooler temperatures, still in summer and at a time to suit audiences in Europe and America to boot.
He says: "An idea which, rather surprisingly hasn't really surfaced as an alternative despite making all the sense in the world – or at least as much sense as a World Cup in Qatar can.
"Play it at night.
"Breathtakingly simple, but also sane.
"Average temperatures at midnight are nearly half that of the daily high during the summer, the time difference would make it perfectly acceptable for viewing audiences in Europe and the Americas and, best of all, there is no need for widescale disruption to the majority of the world's domestic leagues."
He does add however though that "with this being FIFA though, the very presence of common sense is likely to rule any idea out of the running".
Inspired. no? Made me think.
Lukaku didn't know he'd scored
ROMELU Lukaku scored for Everton today – but he was the only person in the stadium that missed it.
The on-loan Belgian notched for the Toffees, but in the process the striker was knocked out.
He said: "I remember nothing about it. I did not even know I had scored, that was the first thing I asked the doc
"I said "who scored?" He said "you"."
Goaltastic Fantasy Football League gameweek four
Spying coach was dressed 'like Rambo'
A COACH for Italian club Genoa was caught spying in on rivals Sampdoria ahead of their next match dressed "like Rambo".
Youth team coach Luca De Pra has been suspended after he was spotted lurking in a wooded area close to Sampdoria's training base in full military gear.
Genoa have said that the coach was acting alone and not carrying out an official spying mission.
Sampdoria said in a statement: "That the derby is a question of nerve, tactics and strategy we already knew, but frankly we could never expect that it could turn into an scene of espionage.
"Like Rambo hidden among the branches on the hill, Luca De Pra, Genoa goalkeeping coach and man of noble footballing ancestry, failed to overcome Sampdoria's intelligence and counter intelligence operations.
"However, no prisoners were taken, and no blood was shed.
"Once tracked down and caught red-handed, the opposing side's soldier was let free to return to base.
"You should always forgive your enemies, as nothing annoys them more."

Sparkle Plenty
Ellen Robinson Schwartz tries on a ring from the Tamara Comolli Fine Jewelry Collection. Photo by Joanne Davidson, The Denver Post
As riveting as the Democratic National Convention is, even the staunchest of the party faithful can use a break from reality and a taste of fantasy.
The latter was provided Tuesday when Neiman Marcus and Tamara Comolli Fine Jewelry teamed with Cindy Farber to present a lunchtime showing of fashions and jewels at Elway's Cherry Creek.
Grace Nelson, wife of U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida, and Nancy Wyden, whose husband, Ron, is a U.S. Senator from Oregon, were among those admiring the exquisite diamonds, South Sea pearls and colored gemstones that make the Comolli Collection rings, bracelets, necklaces and brooches sparkle and shine. The jewels were modeled with fall fashions from such top fashion houses as Stella McCartney, Dolce and Gabbana, Escada and Roberto Cavalli.
Farber's husband, Steve, played a key role in getting the DNC to Denver and she attended the lunch with her sister, Shelly Sapkin, and such friends as Marsha Alpert and Debbie Herz.
In her welcoming remarks, Cindy Farber admitted that while "Jewelry certainly isn't a 'need,' it always makes you happy."
Nancy Sagar, spokeswoman for Neiman Marcus Cherry Creek, explained that the show came about because Tamara Comolli Fine Jewelry Collection had wanted to do something in connection with the DNC and a luncheon for participants, sprinkled with some top Neiman Marcus customers, seemed the perfect fit.
Several of the non-convention-attending guests had stories to share about meeting celebrities in town to support presumptive presidential nominee Barack Obama.
Ellen Robinson Schwartz ran into actress Dana Delaney at Rockbar; Kathryn Kaiser said her husband, Jim, had been reunited with longtime friend, and former dancing partner, former Labor Secretary Alexis Herman, at a dinner Molson Coors President/CEO Leo Kiely and his wife, Susan, had for the Rev. Willie T. Barrow, chair emeritus of the Rainbow Coalition/PUSH board.
Others gathered in a private room at Elway's Cherry Creek were Kaiser's daughter, Lauren Andrews; Lisa Kessler; Colorado Expression publisher Terry Vitale; and Christel Dikeman, general manager of Neiman Marcus Cherry Creek.
Pictures taken at the luncheon can be viewed at denverpost.com/seengallery
Denver Post Society Editor Joanne Davidson can be reached at 303-809-1314 or firstname.lastname@example.com. She's taking a break from the column she writes four times a week for The Post's Life/Style section to cover DNC-related social events. Her regular column resumes Tuesday.

Which shape is the best? Round or rectangular?
Rectangular Trampolines
Rectangular trampolines are the shape of trampolines used in competition and in the Olympics. The 11 x17 with its extra long jumping surface is a popular choice for families with children involved in tumbling, trampolining, or gymnastics.
A Sundance rectangular trampoline is built like a bridge, they are double the shipping weight of our round trampolines. The long side rails need to be built with re-enforcing or trussing. This type of framework costs a lot more to build than our round trampoline frames.
Round trampolines
A top quality Sundance round trampoline is comparable in performance, quality, and safety, to our best quality rectangular trampolines. When choosing a trampoline for your family, think of the coming years ahead and choose a product that will provide you and your family years of enjoyment and trouble free service.
NOTICE:There are many thousands of poor quality round trampolines on the market today, mainly sold at the big box retailers. These trampolines are low quality, inexpensive, and poor bouncing trampolines, they are built as a child's toy; they are not durable, safe, or built for teenage and adult use.
Octagon and 12-sided Trampolines
These shapes for the most part are, expensive round trampolines. The only reason we would suggest you choose an octagon, or 12-sided trampoline would be if you like the aesthetic look of the shape. Rather than a specialty shape, we would normally recommend that you consider either a rectangular trampoline or one of our top quality round trampolines.
Spring-less trampolines
To learn more about the spring-less trampoline, watch the video below!
Click here for a video about spring-less trampolines
What about safety?
Trampolining teaches children all the skills necessary to be safe in other sports and activities. The trampoline is one of the best device's in the world to teach and improve balance, co-ordination, agility, and reaction time. Sure, you could have an accident on a trampoline just like you could playing soccer, football, hockey, skiing, swimming or even riding a bike, and it may be a lot safer to not let your children participate in these activities, but your children would certainly miss out on some of the best things in life. A Trampoline from Sundance will be one of the greatest things you will ever do for your family. Start Sundancing today!
Which trampoline is the safest?
Safety on a trampoline is not so much about the make, model, or shape, it is more about how the trampoline is being used. It is like driving a car, it's more about how the car is being driven rather than the make or model of the car. However, that been said, there are many low cost, poor quality trampolines on the market that are not suitable or safe for teenage or adult usage.

The front page headline in The Denver Post on Oct. 13, 1970 – captured from a microfilm reel – gives a sense of how big of a news story the double-murder case was at the time:
"Teen Girls Found Slain in Denver Apartment."
The progress of the investigation became fodder for ongoing, detailed coverage of the case for weeks, months and years to come.
Maybe it was because of the terrifying circumstances of the case.
One girl was sexually assaulted and strangled in her own apartment.
A second girl, who apparently just happened to walk into a life-or-death struggle on a visit to her high school friend that night, was also murdered.
The second girl's body was crammed underneath the bed.
Both girls were from privileged, middle class homes.
It's been 44 years to the day since it happened, but the terror of that night still resonates to this day, long after the news media stopped tracking the progress of the murder investigation.
Maybe that is because of claims by owner Walter Keller of the old Victorian mansion that it is haunted. Keller converted to a bed and breakfast. The mansion is on a listing of 20 haunted houses and buildings in Denver.

Planet Extech have a FLIR camera. That's a camera that does fancy thermal imaging. In other words, yeah, it's how the Predator can see stuff, and it's also how you're going to see some great pictures of the PS4 and Xbox One.
The site had a goal in taking these images: they wanted to show the heat distribution on both consoles, as well as tracking how hot various components got after use. Seems in their testing they found the PS4 to get hotter - around 30 degrees Fahrenheit at one point - but then given the PS4's power supply is internal, while the Xbox One has a separate power brick, that's to be expected.
As anyone with a PC can tell you, no temperature recorded at any point here is anything to worry about.
I've included a few pics here (XB1 on the left, with the top image the XB1's Kinect, PS4 on the right), but the full galleries can be found at Extech.
NOTE: Sorry, I should point out that the images in this post aren't direct "comparison" shots between the consoles. I simply picked the best images to highlight here, not ones directly comparing temperatures at certain run times.

JUnit is a great framework for unit testing that was never designed for the broader kind of testing that I describe in this article. As its name implies, JUnit focuses on testing classes at the unit level, without any dependencies on external resources. By design, JUnit's scope is minimalistic and it offers the smallest set of features necessary to achieve this goal.
Before TestNG appeared in 2004, a lot of Java developers started using JUnit to do much more than it was designed for, and they realized that they needed to extend or tweak JUnit in order to achieve these goals. A simple example of this was the inability to write configuration code for your classes (what we call today
"@BeforeClass" and
Here is another often misunderstood aspect of JUnit. Consider the following JUnit code:
public class MyTest { private int n = 0; @Test public void test1() { n++; assert n == 1; } @Test public void test2() { n++; assert n == 1; }
You might be surprised to know that this test passes because JUnit reinstantiates your test class before each test method in order to make sure that your tests do not depend on any state — so that they are truly independent. Because of this, the field
n is reinitialized to zero before each test method starts.
This design decision makes sense for unit tests, but it quickly gets in your way when you start writing functional tests that create an expensive state that needs to be maintained from one test to the next. The typical workaround for this is to make your fields static, but at that point, you're beginning to fight the framework, instead of being helped by it.
TestNG addresses many of these concerns and provides numerous features to assist developers writing functional tests. I will cover some of these features in this article.
A Brand New World
Before we start, I'd like to make a small clarification: In this article, I use the adjective "functional" to mean pretty much anything that's not unit testing. This encompasses all kinds of testing: integration, end-to-end, system, and so on.
Unit and functional testing inhabit two very different worlds &mdash not just in what they test, but also in how the tests are implemented. Here are some of the guidelines that you should usually keep in mind when writing unit tests.
Unit tests should:
- Run "fast,"
- Test a small piece of code (typically, a class),
- Not depend on external resources (for example, a database, the network, and so on.),
- Be runnable in any order.
I am being intentionally vague in these guidelines because they are pretty loose and I don't think any of them should be taken completely literally. You shouldn't hesitate to break any of these rules if you think the end result will improve the testing of your code base (for example, some of my unit tests actually test more than one class, others depend on an in-memory database).
Functional tests, on the other hand, should…well, there are no rules, really. Everything is fair in functional testing. If you are providing a certain functionality to users in your product, you should do whatever you can to have an automated test of this feature. The resulting test might be "slow" (a very relative measure, obviously, and while I have seen functional tests take tens of minutes to run, I wouldn't expect most functional tests to run longer than a minute). Functional tests might depend on a lot of external resources and test a vast array of your code.
Unlike unit tests, which mock a lot of the code paths they go through, functional tests are running the exact same code that you will be presenting to your users; hence, the increased difficulty in getting them right.
Let's now turn our attention to a few specific features of TestNG that will assist you in this goal, namely:
- groups
- data providers
- parallelism
- dependencies.
The source code for functional tests can become very, very large. And if you take testing seriously, this code base can even exceed the code base of your project itself — not just because of the scope of what you are testing, but also because setting up your tests so that they are running on an environment that is similar to the one you run in production can result in a lot of supporting infrastructure.
Depending how complex the project is, you will typically end up with tests that cover all kinds of different areas: persistence (relational, NoSQL, other), security, login, front end (UI or native), networking, clustering, failover, caching, and so on. Let's say that you just added functionality in the persistence layer and you'd like to run a quick sanity check to make sure that you didn't break anything vital before moving forward. The unit tests run fast and quickly show you a 100% success rate, but running the entire functional test stack might take hours. Ideally, you'd like to run only the persistence-related functional tests.
This is where TestNG's groups come in handy.
With TestNG, every test method can belong to one or several groups. Here is an example:
@Test(groups = { "functional", "persistence", "slow" }) public void saveShouldWork() { ... } @Test(groups = { "functional", "persistence", "fast" }) public void databaseShouldBeRunning() { ... }
Once I have compiled my tests, I can ask TestNG to run all the "persistence" tests (which means both methods will be run) or only the "fast" tests (in which case, only
databaseShouldBeRunning()runs). This is one of the main benefits of Java's annotations: They are persisted with the class files, which means that TestNG can easily separate the "static" model of your tests (the code) from the "dynamic" aspect (determining which tests to run). You compile once, and then you can run various combinations as often as you need without having to recompile anything.
You can also ask TestNG to exclude groups, which makes it easy to put tests that you know are not going to pass in a specific group (e.g.
"broken"), and then exclude that group from the test. When the time comes to release, you make sure that the
"broken" group is empty (TestNG will tell you that), and you will never accidentally ship software with vital tests disabled.

Breakfast / Lunch on a whole other level.
We have been using Prime for a few months now for our lunch time selections and the whole office is loving them.
I had seen them for some time but they are a tad far from the office so I never gave them a second thought until I learned a few months ago that they delivered. We checked and they were willing to deliver to our office.
After trying them the first time we were hooked. They will fax you a daily menu of specials and such and we have never had a bad anything from there - ever.
They have a chicken burger that is killer- but as I just stated, everything we have gotten so far is just top notch.
At this point, I have coworkers who are ordering dinner to be delivered with their lunch so that they don't have to cook when they get home!
I've never set foot in the place but I've seen their website and it looks nice- someone else can review the actual brick and mortar location.
Parking is on the street where they are located.
I'm now here almost every other time I have class. Get the chicken mozzarella salad and Brussels sprouts or hot kale. Delicious and not too expensive. Great balsamic dressing too!
I used Prime for catering a few times for offices in the area. Their food is actually quite delicious, really. It's healthy. However, they are overpriced, and for the money paid on catering orders, you would think they'd at least give free paper plates and utensils, right? Wrong. I find it ridiculous that they charge a few dollars extra per person for paper plates and utensils. Even beat down pizzerias give free plates with delivery orders. They don't sell liters of anything to drink so that's an extra couple dollars they sneak in per person for individual drinks. At the end of the catering order, I realize I can get double the food with free utensils and plates for the price of what prime charges, elsewhere. It's tasteless of them to lack courtesy for customers who would use them more for catering deliveries if they managed their customer relations a little better. It's really unfortunate because I, along with others I know in my field, would use Prime for orders if they were more reasonable.
Where's the Party? Event Catering for Every Occasion
When people hear the term "corporate catering", they often think of only certain types of events. What usually comes to mind is wedding catering, or a sweet 16, or bar mitzvah. The truth is, there is a multitude of events that could use the help of a professional caterer. Here are some special occasions that might call for some professional event catering.
The Holidays
That special time of year definitely comes with its fair share of stressful planning. Although many families prefer a home cooked meal for the holidays, sometimes that can be a little tough depending on who is showing up to all the parties that you plan on throwing. There is no shame in admitting that you could use a little holiday magic to help you make your holidays merry! Our team of Long Island catering pros have been helping moms all throughout Nassau and Suffolk County have happy stress free holiday seasons for years.
The Big Meeting
Have you ever been called into your boss' office to hear the dreaded words: "I'd like you to be in charge of organizing our board meeting for next week"? That can be a stressful moment. Not to fear! When you need to create some business meeting snacks and appetizers, our team happily provides off premises catering for you and your hungry team of executives! Whether your meeting is in the morning, or in the middle of the afternoon, our team will be happy to feed yours to guarantee business gets discussed on a full stomach.
Birthday Parties
Now, it's no secret that sweet 16s are definitely worthy of event catering. But what about all those other milestone birthdays? If you want to throw your spouse, child, or any loved one a surprise they will remember forever, you may want to consider a catered birthday party! Imagine their surprise and joy they will feel when they come home to find all of their friends and relatives alongside a buffet of all their favorite recipes. Food, friends, and family is a wonderful way to celebrate anyone's special day. By catering a birthday party just for them, you will show them that you care for them in a way no one ever has before.
Bridal and Baby Showers
What baby or bridal shower would be complete without a delicious spread of food? Showers can be a fun time for all the girls. There are games, family, friends, and food. Regardless of what time of day a baby or bridal shower takes place, a delicious menu will be quite appreciated by the bride or mommy to be. If you hire one of the more creative catering companies, you can even customize edible party favors which would be an exciting and fun addition to the shower. Hiring a caterer for a bridal or baby shower will also alleviate a lot of the pressure off of being the hostess. Enjoy the shower and hire a caterer!
Anniversary Parties
Celebrating a milestone marriage of your favorite couple should require some special food served up just for them. If your parents are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary, you know that all your loved ones will show up to celebrate. You should consider hiring a caterer for an anniversary party, to make the party as special as the marriage itself.
Long Island Catering companies aren't just for weddings anymore! When you have something to celebrate, you will want to serve up a mouth watering menu. If you would like any more suggestions about how to professionally cater your next event, please don't hesitate to contact Prime Catering today!

Fedwire and Clearing House Interbank Payments System (CHIPS)
In the United States, payment and securities settlement systems consist of numerous financial intermediaries, financial services firms, and non-bank businesses that create, distribute, and process large-value payments. The bulk of the dollar value of these payments are processed electronically and are generally used to purchase, sell, or finance securities transactions; disburse or repay loans; settle real estate transactions; and make large-value, time-critical payments, such as payments for the settlement of interbank purchases and sales of federal funds, settlement of foreign exchange transactions, or other financial market transactions.
There are two primary networks for interbank, or large-value, domestic, funds transfer payment orders. The first, Fedwire® Funds Service, is operated by the Federal Reserve Banks, and is an important participant in providing interbank payment services as well as safekeeping and transfer services for U.S. government and agency securities, and mortgage-backed securities. In addition, FedwireFedwire® is a registered service mark of the Federal Reserve Banks. See http://www.frbservices.org/ for fur-ther information on Fedwire Funds and Securities Service, and NSS. Funds Service and the Federal Reserve's National Settlement Service (NSS) are critical components used in other payment systems' settlement processes.The Clearing House Interbank Payments Company L.L.C. (CHIP Co.) operates the second, the Clearing House Interbank Payments System (CHIPS).CHIPS is a private multilateral settlement system operated by CHIP Co., a subsidiary of The Clearing House (formerly known as the New York Clearing House Association).
Processing large-value funds transfers involves two key elements: clearing and settlement. Clearing is the transfer and confirmation of information between the payer (sending financial institution) and payee (receiving financial institution). Settlement is the actual transfer of funds between the payer's financial institution and the payee's financial institution. Settlement discharges the obligation of the payer financial institution to the payee financial institution with respect to the payment order. Final settlement is irrevocable and unconditional. The finality of the payment is determined by that system's rules and applicable law.
In general, payment messages may be credit transfers or debit transfers. Most large-value funds transfer systems are credit transfer systems in which both payment messages and funds move from the payer financial institution to the payee financial institution. An institution initiates a funds transfer by transmitting a payment order (a message that requests the transfer of funds to the payee). Payment order processing follows the predefined rules and operating procedures of the large-value payment system used. Typically, large-value payment system operating procedures include identification, reconciliation, and confirmation procedures necessary to process the payment orders. In some systems, financial institutions may contract with one or more third parties to help perform clearing and settlement activities on behalf of the institution.
The legal framework governing payment activity and the regulatory structure for financial institutions that provide payment services is complex.See Appendix D for a discussion of the general legal framework for interbank payment systems. There are rules for large-value payments that are distinct from retail payments. Large-value funds transfer systems differ from retail electronic funds transfer (EFT) systems, which generally handle a large volume of low value payments including automated clearinghouse (ACH) and debit and credit card transactions at the point of sale.

Maybe you will not familiar with steve jobs, but you will not miss his creative invention of Apple. Today I want to share some famous quotes of Apple co-founder, Steve Jobs.
1. Stay hungry, Stay foolish!
2. Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?
3. Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.
4. You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new.
5. Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
6. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.
7. Life is brief, and then you die, you know?
8. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.…Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.
9. Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me … Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful… that's what matters to me.
10. There's a phrase in Buddhism, 'Beginner's mind.' It's wonderful to have a beginner's mind.
11. If you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long. Just figure out what's next.
For me, I have a preference for this one-Stay hungry, stay foolish. He wants to tell us that it's not important which way you started to begin, the important is what you achieve to aim your dream. This simple sentence with powerful emotions. Which one do you like?

I was watching the Beyonce documentary and was thinking… Do you think Jay-Z has ever cheated on Beyonce? Or if not, what most high-profile marriage do you think has involved infidelity at some point in time?
Of course he has. For all we know, Beyonce cut a deal with him ages ago and agreed to form the most powerful couple in show business in exchange for Jay being able to discreetly nail anyone he pleases. The amazing thing is that there are STILL people out there who buy into celebrity couples. There were people out there on Tumblr who were like I DON'T BELIEVE IN LOVE ANYMORE! when Amy Poehler and Will Arnett got divorced. You don't know those people. How would you know if they're meant for each other? And why the fuck would you care if they stayed together or not? Just because they're on two shows you like doesn't ensure their love is eternal.
Celebrities are completely fucked up human beings. And the more famous you are, the more fucked up you are. Anyone that believes Jay-Z and Beyonce have some magical relationship that somehow transcends everyday marriages is a fucking moron. How often do those two people see each other? Sixty days a year? Less? Put two unfamous people in a similar situation and see how long the marriage lasts. Every quote from an anonymous source that gushes about Jay-Z and Beyonce is worthless. "They're so real!" "They eat dinner together at home all the time!" "They're totally normal!" All complete shit. Beyonce has herself filmed 18 hours a fucking day. That's not normal at all. If Jay-Z hasn't cheated yet, he will. WOMAN, COULD YOU PLEASE STOP BEING FABULOUS FOR JUST ONE GODDAMN MOMENT? And just wait until you find out that Prince William has been unfaithful to Kate. AT LAST I'LL GET ANOTHER CHANCE AT HER. Wills never appreciated her the way I do.
Okay, time to dive into the Live Funbag below.

Troops Capture Iranian-backed Terrorists
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8, 2008 – Coalition forces apprehended three alleged Kataib Hezbollah terrorists in two operations early today in Baghdad's Rusafa district, military officials reported.
Kataib Hezbollah is believed to be a surrogate group operating in Iraq on behalf of the Quds Force of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, coalition officials said.
During the first operation, coalition forces acted on intelligence information to captured three suspected Kataib Hezbollah members believed to be responsible for recent attacks against Iraqi civilians and Iraqi and coalition forces. In a separate operation in Rusafa today, forces targeted a suspected militant believed to be responsible for collecting intelligence information on Iraqi and coalition forces. The wanted man also is believed to be involved in attacks against coalition forces. He identified himself to forces and was apprehended without incident.
Also today, an operation near Baghdad netted a wanted man and three additional suspects believed to be his associates. The suspected terrorist is believed to be associated with al-Qaida in Iraq leaders in Anbar province.
In Ramadi today, coalition forces captured another suspected terrorist believed to be associated with Anbar-area al-Qaida in Iraq leaders.
In operations yesterday:
-- A wanted man who is believed to have transported explosives and other weapons for al-Qaida in Iraq was captured near Abu Ghraib, west of Baghdad. The suspected terrorist also is believed to have connections to numerous al-Qaida in Iraq operatives in the area.
-- Coalition forces captured a suspected terrorist in Beiji, south of Mosul. He is believed to coordinate suicide attacks in the Tigris River Valley and allegedly was seeking materials to build suicide vests. Two additional suspects were detained for further questioning.
-- Forces detained two suspects during an operation targeting al-Qaida in Iraq foreign-terrorist facilitation networks in Mosul.
-- Multinational Division Baghdad soldiers found a weapons cache in southern Baghdad's Rashid district. After receiving a tip from a concerned citizen, the soldiers found three rocket-propelled grenade launchers at a house in the Hadar community.

Grow bigger, stronger muscles with green tomatoes
All of us love to eat red tomatoes but as unlikely as it sounds, green tomatoes may hold the answer to bigger, stronger muscles.health-and-fitness Updated: Apr 10, 2014 16:27 IST
All of us love to eat red tomatoes but as unlikely as it sounds, green tomatoes may hold the answer to bigger, stronger muscles.
Natural compound from green tomatoes stimulates muscle growth, improves muscle strength and endurance and protects against muscle wasting, research reveals.
A team of University of Iowa scientists has now discovered that tomatidine, a compound from green tomatoes, is even more potent for building muscle and protecting against muscle atrophy.
"Muscle atrophy causes many problems for people, their families, and the health care system in general. Exercise certainly helps, but it is not enough and not very possible for many people who are ill or injured," said Christopher Adams, an associate professor of internal medicine and molecular physiology and biophysics.
Read: Eat tomatoes for a healthy heart
Muscle atrophy, or wasting, is caused by aging and a variety of illnesses and injuries, including cancer, heart failure, and orthopaedic injuries, to name a few.
It makes people weak and fatigued, impairs physical activity and quality of life, and predisposes people to falls and fractures.
Adams and his team zeroed in on tomatidine using a systems biology tool called the Connectivity Map.
Adams discovered that tomatidine generates changes in gene expression that are essentially opposite to the changes that occur in muscle cells when people are affected by muscle atrophy.
After identifying tomatidine, Adams and his team tested its effects on skeletal muscle. They first discovered that tomatidine stimulates growth of cultured muscle cells from humans.
Read: Eating tomatoes wards off depression?
Their next step was to add tomatidine to the diet of mice.
They found that healthy mice supplemented with tomatidine grew bigger muscles, became stronger and could exercise longer.
And, most importantly, they found that tomatidine prevented and treated muscle atrophy.
"Interestingly, although mice fed tomatidine had larger muscles, their overall body weight did not change due to a corresponding loss of fat, suggesting that the compound may also have potential for treating obesity," Adams noted.
"Green tomatoes are safe to eat in moderation. But we still do not know how many green tomatoes a person would need to eat to get a dose of tomatidine similar to what we gave the mice. We are working hard to answer this," Adam explained.
The study was published online in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.

Wow, things are heating up.
In small matters, Sally gets a hangup, prompting Betty to call Francis and ask if it was he, and he tells her it wasn't, and not to call him again unless she's serious about seeing him.
Also, there's mention that the family is finally selling Gene's house. Moving on to bigger stuff, Paul pitches an idea to Don for an Aqua Net commercial, but when he shoots it down as too wordy, Peggy modifies it to his liking, for which Paul chews her out in private and then challenges her to do her own work on the Western Union account and see who comes out on top.
U.S. & World
We get to see them both in action, and let's just say if what we see of Paul is an accurate representation of his typical day in the office, he's even more pathetic than I realized, but he does come up with an idea that pleases him greatly – except he passes out without writing it down, and in the morning he can't remember it. When he tells Peggy about it, she's sympathetic, but also unwittingly pulls another idea out of him that flies.
Don is still seeing Suzanne, and often, so he's there when her epileptic brother turns up, sending Don fleeing into the night, and this and other points of evidence make it clear that she's not going to play the game quite as privately or as detached as Don would like, but he doesn't run away permanently just yet. Instead, he offers to drive the brother up to Massachusetts, but the brother, knowing his condition won't let him hold down the new job Suzanne found for him, bails, but not before Don, as an act of atonement for how he treated his own brother, gives him his card and tells him to call if he's ever in trouble.
There's a party at the Waldorf for SC's fortieth anniversary, and Bertram and Roger would rather reminisce about old times than actually attend, although Bertram's the one of the two that actually decides not to go.
Meanwhile, Pryce's wife has had it up to here with New York, and chews him out for apparently liking it. Pryce is then shocked when he gets a phone call from the British brass telling him they're putting SC on the market, and they'll need all hands on deck, as part of the party's purpose is to garner interest. Pryce displays some sharper people-reading than you might expect in convincing Bertram to attend, and then confesses the news about SC being up for sale to his wife, much to her glee.
Considering the traffic they had to fight to get to the party, guess you can't blame her.
Don gets his bonus and stashes the cash away in his study, making me think he's still planning for a getaway at some point. And he may need it sooner than he thought, as Betty finds his keys due to a laundry oversight, and invades the locked drawer of his study -- in which she finds all of his Dick Whitman/Don Draper/Anna Draper memorabilia and evidence.
She waits up to confront him, but he doesn't come home. When he calls her the next day, she tells him she's not going to the party, but she can't bring herself to confront him yet, and eventually backs off. The entire family attends, and after Roger gives him a long and rousing introduction fit for, say, JFK, Don gets up to give the closing speech as Betty stares at him, many emotions playing on her face. You may not be surprised to hear that none of them are good.

Has anyone have any experience with using this varroa mite treatment?
Im thinking of using it as I make up my nucs.
Does anyone know if this treatment has been approved for use in Canada?
Has anyone have any experience with using this varroa mite treatment?
Im thinking of using it as I make up my nucs.
Does anyone know if this treatment has been approved for use in Canada?
Tried it on doubles in North Dakota as part of an experiment. Mite loads were not lowered. Treated in summer and the doubles were fairly strong.
What was your experience in using this product? Ease of use, packaging, handling of the product, effect on the bees,?
Some keepers call it hope guard.
NUTRA-BEE feed supplements
A treatment like this, where it has a treatment period of only a few days would only work in a broodless situation. I can manage into that treatment situation while making up Nucs.
The question I have is, does it actually kill mites?
I used it on 200 splits this summer right at the brood break that i get with a cell and it knocked them in the head. On my hives with brood not that great of kill. Any hives i make with cells i will use it again
thats exactly my plan too swarm_trapper!
It has been suggested that this treatment is very easy on the bees and queens, it is very hard on mites, but its only a few day treatment. I plan on making a bunch of nucs which will be queened by cells. During that broodless break, my plan is to treat them with Hop Guard. If the treatment kills the mites, I should have mite free nucs as the queen starts laying.
did you do any pre and post mite counts on your splits
mike syracuse ny
Whatever you subsidize you get more of. Ronald Reagan
Ian i did do alcohol washes before and after, The before was around 15-20 in a roll the after was 0-1 mites (this is per 300 bees) These bees were actually so clean that i didn't treat them before my pepper crop every thing else needed treatment. The way i treated them was i hit them at i think day 19 from when i put the cell in that way there was hardly any brood, then i think i hit them one more time 7 days later when doing checkbacks. I don't know if the second time was necessary or not. But it didnt hurt my queen takes at all! And in my splits i just used on strip per hive so it wasnt that pricy, doing it twice cost 1.20 a hive.
Wild branch i hit some of my older bees with hop guard 3 times and it only took the levels down from a 20 to a 7 so it still wasn't clean enough in my book. Had to hit them with a thymol clean up.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
Yes I have used Oxalic acid also and I am always very worried about my queen health when using Oxalic or any other type of acid treatment. Hop Guard may be an excellent fit for this type of management option.
Thank you swarm_trapper with your mite wash counts. 5-6% mite load starting, 0%-.3% mite load after treatment is an excellent knock down. In fact I wouldnt even call that a knock down, Id call that a complete treatment.
Im going to look into this treatment further.
What was your experience in using this product in regards to ease of use, packaging and handling of the product
Mike. Treated 3X. There was brood as it was in the peak of summer flow. From this discussion, maybe I should have used it on the nucs I make up with cells in the spring.
Like any treatment which only lasts for a few days, for the treatment to be effective, the hive has to be broodless.

a real neat trick would be to be able to insert this treatment into my hives while they sit inside the wintering shed right now.

Hop guard is almost a two person job one guy to open and close and smoke, and one to put in the strips. I just get a small dish pan and dump 2 packets in and the juice and pull them out of there. The hop guard did not hurt the virgins i was a bit worried that it might, but i got the best take of the year on those bees so i was happy.
Unfortunately I an, it is not registered in Canada and will likely take at least 2 more years before it is registered here, if ever it does get registered here.
Treatment in the winterin shed would be very nice and the right time to apply seeing as the bees would be broodless. This could work well with a fall treatment of formic acid, which in my experience slows the mites down but gives such variable results. Kinda like a one, two punch cmbination.
I've used hop guard for 2 seasons now with good success. My method is 3 treatments about 7 days apart. I use 2 strips per bood box with each treatment. Most of the hives will shread the strips and have most of it removed from the hive. In my experiance the mite count drops big time the first 2 times leaving very few mites. The 3rd doesn't really change much ( maybe see a mite ) with an alcohol shake. I've had hives with high mite loads that were dwindling fast and been able to turn them around and successfully winter them after hop guard treatments in summer. I don't think placing the strips would help much in winter as the bees need to come into contact for it to work properly. As for ease of use, I find it pretty simple. Place 2 strips in bottom brood box about 2 or 3 frames apart and same on the upper brood box. It is kind of messy and sometimes the bees will attack the strip and hands that have the "juice" on them although not always. This small "attack" is usually limited to the hive and I haven't seen them act aggressivly other than that. I consider it expensive at 3 treatments x4 strips per hive =12 strips for the season. I bag of Hop Guard has 50 strips at about $30. When you do the math it ain't cheap but in my experience it has worked very well. That said, it's too much money and I won't be using it next year for my 50 or so hives.

(White Plains, NY) - July 23, 2014 - Today's U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of idelalisib to treat patients with relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), follicular lymphoma (FL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) is a significant advance for patients with these blood cancers.
Idelalisib, which goes by the trade name Zydelig (R), is a first-in-class inhibitor of PI3K delta, a protein that is highly expressed in many B-cell malignancies and plays a critical role in the viability, proliferation and migration of these cancer cells.
Idelalisib is an oral therapy indicated in combination with rituximab, a monoclonal antibody, for patients with relapsed or refractory CLL for whom rituximab alone would be considered appropriate therapy. In October 2013, a Phase 3 study evaluating idelalisib in combination with rituximab in previously-treated CLL patients not fit for standard chemotherapy was stopped early because interim analysis was showing significant improvement in median progression-free survival as well as median overall survival compared to placebo plus rituximab.
Idelalisib was also approved today as a monotherapy for patients with relapsed FL and SLL who have received at least two prior systemic therapies. FDA granted accelerated approval for FL and SLL based on overall response rate.
"We have been eagerly awaiting the approval of this therapy as these are patients for whom there are few other good treatment options," said Lee Greenberger, Ph.D., LLS's chief scientific officer. "LLS funded research contributed to the understanding of the PI3K pathway in B-cell malignancies beginning in 1999; this allowed the identification and clinical development of inhibitors of this target. LLS exists to find cures and ensure access to treatments for blood cancer patients, and any new advance that brings the potential to help save more lives is good news."

Your Money: Social Security checks get replaced
- Paper Social Security checks go away in March
- They will be replaced by direct deposit or debit cards
- Recipients can request a waiver under certain circumstances
Like it or not, many seniors have a few more jobs to do when it comes to Social Security — including signing up for direct deposit or hitting the computer.
Still collecting a paper Social Security check? Get ready to make a change soon.
The paper check is supposed to go away by March. People still receiving checks can sign up for direct deposit or a Direct Express Debit card.
Roughly 5 million people nationwide continue to receive paper checks.
States with the highest numbers of paper checks include California, New York, Texas, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan and North Carolina.
MONEY WATCH:Maximizing your Social Security benefits
WHAT TO DO:How to sign up for direct deposit or debit card
There may be a little wiggle room, but Social Security would like people to willingly give up those paper checks.
Walt Henderson, director of the electronic funds transfer strategy division for the U.S. Treasury, said seniors who are receiving paper checks and don't make a switch by March could receive letters offering assistance in changing to direct deposit or the debit card.
"We will not interrupt payments if a person does not comply, nor will we switch a payment method automatically," Henderson said.
Henderson noted that 11 million paper checks were sent out each month as of two years ago, so the number has already been cut by more than half.
Sure, many older people love going to the bank. But before anyone starts grumbling, it's good to know that seniors born on or before May 1, 1921, can still receive that paper check if they want it.
Options for different needs
Even so, many seniors say direct deposit is the way to go.
The Direct Express Debit card is designed for people who do not have bank accounts — or what some call the unbanked.
The Direct Express card has been used by more than 3 million people since it was introduced in June 2008. About two-thirds of those people did not have bank accounts when they signed up for the card.
How do you make a switch? Call 800-333-1795 or visit www.GoDirect.org. Or if you have an account at a bank or credit union, go there to sign up for direct deposit.
Some consumers could save $5 a month or more in checking fees — that's $60 or more a year — if they sign up for direct deposit for Social Security checks.
The GoDirect.org site shows a countdown clock for how many days, hours, minutes and seconds are left for paper checks.
Who is exempt?
Some exceptions exist to still receive a paper check but you'd need to request a waiver in those cases, say if Social Security recipients live in remote areas without sufficient banking infrastructure or if electronic payments would impose a hardship due to a mental impairment. Waiver applications can be requested by calling 800-333-1795.
The Treasury Department said about 93% of Social Security and SSI payments are being made electronically nationwide. If you're retiring or applying for Social Security now, you receive benefits electronically. No checks.
The estimate is that converting the remaining paper checks to electronic payments will save taxpayers $1 billion over 10 years.
Online services galore
Social Security cut office hours but expanded online services. Social Security offices close at noon every Wednesday, because of cutbacks. Offices also are closing 30 minutes earlier on other weekdays and are now open 9 a.m.-3 p.m.
But many services, including applying for benefits, can be done online at www.ssa.gov.
Social Security is promoting what's called a "my Social Security" online account to cover some services, too. It's now possible to get an official benefit verification letter instantly if you create an online account. An official benefit verification letter can offer proof of income when someone applies for a loan or mortgage. It also can offer proof of income when applying for assisted housing and state or local benefits.
Social Security stopped mailing all annual paper statements to update those still working about their estimated future benefits back in October because of the budget situation, according to Doug Nguyen, deputy regional communications director for the Social Security Administration in Chicago.
But it's possible to get statements online.
"Given our significantly reduced funding, we have to find innovative ways to continue to meet the needs of the American people without compromising service," Michael J. Astrue, Commissioner of Social Security, said in a statement.
The online system is a way to change an address and start or change direct deposit information, too. It is possible to apply for benefits online, find out if you qualify for benefits, and block online access if you've been a victim of identity theft or domestic violence.
More tips on Social Security
• If you opt for a Direct Express Debit card, pay attention to the fees. One free ATM withdrawal is allowed each month on the Direct Express Debit MasterCard. Additional ATM withdrawals are 90 cents. To get one free ATM withdrawal, consumers must go to ATMs in the network. That network includes ATMs at Comerica Bank, Charter One, PNC Bank, Privileged Status, Alliance One, the MasterCard ATM Alliance and MoneyPass.
• Plenty of bank names aren't in the network. And it could cost up to $3 or so a pop to get access to your Social Security money at some ATMs if you go out of the network. Many ATMs in the network are at drugstores and elsewhere. See www.usdirectexpress.com to learn about the fees.
• Plus, consumers can use the card for purchases and get cash back for free at many stores.
• The temporary payroll tax cut involving Social Security taxes ended last year. An employee's contribution into Social Security has gone back to 6.2% this year from 4.2% in 2011 and 2012.
• Social Security taxes will apply to up to $113,700 of wages this year. The limit had been $110,100 of wages in 2012.
• Social Security beneficiaries received a 1.7% boost in payments beginning in January. The cost-of-living adjustment pushed the estimated average Social Security retirement benefit to $1,261 a month in January from $1,240 a month.

We hope Samantha Ronson is friendly with some of the Lindsay Lohan's lawyers.
The 33 year-old DJ and former girlfriend of troubled actress Lohan has been charged with two misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence stemming from her arrest on August 1.
The maximum sentence for these charges is six months in prison and a $1,000 fine.
U.S. & World
Ronson was pulled over returning to California from Nevada following a Las Vegas gig for going 89 mph in a 70 mph zone. The police then subjected her to a DUI test and found that her blood alcohol level was above .08.
The police were quoted as saying that Ronson was cooperative during her arrest.

A Florida man was arrested early Saturday morning for repeatedly driving over a teenager's '94 Camry with his lifted four-wheel-drive Econoline. The car-crushing occurred at the Redneck Yacht Club's "Swamp Cabbage Weekend" festival, which is typically a gathering of the temperate and polite.
The Herald Tribune reports that the lifted van's 40-year-old driver was egged on by a crowd to drive over the unattended Camry after two other trucks unsuccessfully tried to crush the small car.
"The owner doesn't care. You can do it," shouted the crowd.
The white van man succeeded in crushing the Camry, but once the young woman found out about her car getting crushed, it wasn't long before the man was arrested on a felony charge of criminal mischief.

Replacement salt water generator cells and accessories to keep your saltwater pool running right.
Chlorine generators are the simple way to make your pool maintenance easier and more economical and your pool water more pleasant for swimmers. Chlorine generators are easy to install onto either your existing in-ground pool filter system or above ground filter and provide an automatic protection against pathogens and germs in your pool.
There are different types of chlorinators available for both in-ground pools and above ground pools. The most popular option to drastically reduce the need for and use of chlorine is by installing an in-line salt chlorinator cell like Hayward's in-ground pool Swimpure Plus salt chlorine generator, the InteliChlor salt chlorine generator or an above ground pool version such as the Aqua-Trol pool chlorine generator . The salt chlorinators use ordinary salt and an electric charge to sanitize your pool's by chemically changing the salt into chlorine. With a salt chlorine generator, you no longer have to deal with lugging around big buckets of chlorine and the harsh chemical smell in your pool while enjoying softer, perfectly clear pool water to swim in.
In the Swim also carries more budget-conscious models of salt chlorine generators like the Solaxx Saltron retro salt chlorine generator that can be used in above ground and in-ground pools and is just effective as more expensive generator cells. The above ground pool Intex chlorine generator is incredibly easy to install, takes all of the guesswork out of your pool sanitization and is highly effective at producing crystal clear water.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Four members of the Penn State women's lacrosse team were honored with Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association All-West/Midwest Region recognition, the organization announced Tuesday afternoon.
Senior defender Katie Guy (Whitby, Ont.), sophomore midfielder Kelly Lechner (Silver Spring, Md.) and sophomore attacker Maggie McCormick (Eldersburg, Md.) earned IWLCA All-West/Midwest Region First-Team honors, while freshman midfielder Jenna Mosketti (Fallston, Md.) was named to the second team. An Eldersburg, Md., native, McCormick earned first-team recognition for the second straight year.
One of three Nittany Lion captains, Guy has flourished as one of Penn State's defensive anchors. The All-ALC First-Team honoree has set career highs in ground balls (43), caused turnovers (35) and draw controls (34), while ranking 12th in the NCAA in ground balls per game. The Whitby, Ont., native has also collected one goal and two assists for Penn State in 2013.
A Silver Spring, Md., native, Lechner has enjoyed a breakout sophomore season. The midfielder leads the team in draw controls (48) and free-position goals (5) and ranks second in goals (41), third in points (48) and caused turnovers (17) and fifth in ground balls (22). The midfielder, who was named to the All-ALC First Team, is one of five Nittany Lions with at least 10 draw controls, ground balls and caused turnovers.
A two-time IWLCA All-West/Midwest First-Team member, McCormick ranks 15th in the NCAA with 76 points, 19th in points per game (4.22) and 22nd in assists (33). The All-ALC First-Team honoree paces the Penn State squad in goals (43), assists and points and is one of 25 female nominees for the Tewaaraton Award. In 2013, the attacker has set career highs in goals, assists, points, caused turnovers (3), goals in a game (6) and assists in a game (5), while notching her 100th career point against Drexel March 22.
Mosketti has started all 18 games for the Nittany Lions during her rookie season and ranks second on the squad in ground balls (33), draw controls (36) and caused turnovers (21). The All-ALC Second-Team member has also added 24 goals and six assists.
In all, 128 NCAA Division I student-athletes were honored with IWLCA all-region recognition. The four Nittany Lions are now eligible for inclusion on the IWLCA All-America teams, which will be announced May 17.

Bangkok, March 1, 2013--Draft legislation designed to govern the media in Burma threatens to reverse fragile press freedom gains recently achieved under President Thein Sein's democratic reform program, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.
The draft Press Law Bill (2013) bans reporting on several vague topics, including any news or commentary critical of the military-drafted 2008 constitution, and allows for six-month prison sentences for failing to register news publications with the government, according to a copy of the legislation published on Wednesday in the daily government-owned newspaper New Light of Myanmar.
The draft bill will soon be deliberated by the country's military-influenced parliament. It was drawn up by the Ministry of Information without input from independent press groups, according to news reports. The draft law is designed to replace the 1962 Printers and Publishers Registration Act, legislation that was frequently used to harass and imprison journalists under the previous ruling military junta.
The draft law also calls for the appointment of a new "registration official," who will be charged with issuing publishing licenses and monitoring the media for violations of new censorship guidelines. According to news reports, the law's proposed guidelines prohibit the publication of any news that could "disturb the rule of law," "incite unrest," or "violate the constitution and other existing laws."
"If passed in its current form, the draft law will essentially replace Burma's old censorship regime with a similarly repressive new one," said Shawn Crispin, CPJ's senior Southeast Asia representative. "Banning news topics and legalizing the jailing of journalists is utterly inconsistent with the press freedom guarantees that authorities vowed the new law would promote. We urge lawmakers to amend this draft in a way that protects, and not restricts, press freedom."
News reports citing local media groups raised concerns that the new "registration official" created under the draft law will be empowered to censor and punish local media. Last August, the government announced an end to its decades-old pre-publication censorship regime. In January, the government's Press Scrutiny and Registration Division censorship body was formally abolished.
Until now, all private news publications in Burma have been forced to publish as weeklies rather than dailies to accommodate the government's time-consuming pre-censorship requirements, a restriction that will officially be lifted on April 1. However, local journalists and editors have complained that existing restrictive laws like the 2004 Electronics Act and 2000 Internet Act, both of which allow for prison sentences for violations, have engendered more self-censorship since the end of official pre-publication censorship.

Mossberg's Mailbox
IPod Workarounds
There's no other major item most of us own that is as confusing, unpredictable and unreliable as our personal computers. Everybody has questions about them, and we aim to help.
Here are a few questions about computers I've received recently from people like you, and my answers. I have edited and restated the questions a bit, for readability. This week my mailbox contained questions about performing iPod workarounds, viruses and spyware for Macs with Intel processors and using multiple firewalls.
If you have a question, send it to me at email@example.com, and I may select it to be answered here in Mossberg's Mailbox.
Last week, you recommended using add-on software to allow the copying of music from an iPod to a PC, and the creation of multiple music libraries in iTunes. Aren't there ways to do these tasks without extra software?
Yes, and many readers wrote to remind me of them. I knew about them, but I didn't mention them because they have drawbacks and may not be easy for nontechnical users.
It's possible to use an iPod to copy all your music to a second computer if you enable the iPod for use as a disk, then go into Windows Explorer or the Macintosh Finder and copy all your music files to the portion of your iPod's disk that shows up as an open drive. This "drive" is whatever part of your iPod's hard disk that's available after you load it with music using the iTunes software. Then, you can reverse the process on the second computer.
The trouble with this method is that it assumes a fair knowledge of your computer's file system, and it only works if the iPod has enough free space to hold two complete copies of your music library (or you are willing to perform the procedure multiple times). Also, unlike many of the utility programs for copying music from an iPod, this method can't synchronize the transferred music with iTunes.
You can create multiple iTunes music libraries on a shared computer, either Windows or Mac if you set up separate log-ins, or user accounts, for each iPod owner who uses the computer. However, this approach requires you to switch accounts every time you want to sync a different iPod, changing the whole layout of the machine. And, unless you are a sophisticated user, you may need to store duplicate copies of any songs multiple users want to include in their libraries.
So, I stand by my suggestion that until Apple adds these functions, the best way to carry them out is by using add-on software. It's simple, and it works. In general, I prefer simple, direct utility programs to work-around methods that require more knowledge of the computer than many average users possess.
Now that Apple is building new Macs with the same Intel chips used in Windows PCs, will the Macs become vulnerable to the viruses and spyware that attack Windows computers?
Viruses and spyware are written to work in a specific operating system, not on a particular processor or chip. In the consumer market, all known successful viruses and spyware programs — tens of thousands of them — are written to work in Windows. So far, there have been zero reported viruses and spyware programs, outside of the lab, that run on the Apple operating system, called Mac OS X. Apple is continuing to use Mac OS X on the new Intel-powered models. Windows viruses and spyware can't run in this Mac operating system — even if you download them — regardless of which chip Apple uses under the hood.
I assume somebody will eventually write a few viruses or spyware programs that can penetrate the Mac operating system, if only to say he or she has done so. But that has nothing to do with Intel chips. And, even then, security should remain a minor issue for Mac users.
There is one exception to this scenario. The use of Intel processors may make it easy, for the first time ever, to run Windows on a Mac. If that happens, then the machines would be vulnerable to Windows viruses and spyware — but only if and when you run Windows on them.
I use Norton Internet security 2005 and have its firewall turned on. Can I also, at the same time, use the firewall that comes with Windows XP?
I don't recommend running multiple firewall software. Doing so is unlikely to give you extra protection, and the firewalls can clash with each other. For instance, each firewall may keep different lists of what kinds of outbound Internet connections to allow, and may treat incoming traffic differently.

Cubs go 1-1 on replay challenges vs. Yankees
NEW YORK -- The Cubs had mixed results with replay challenges in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to the Yankees in their doubleheader opener.
They were successful in overturning a call in the second inning. With one out and the bases empty, left fielder Junior Lake pushed a bunt down the third-base line, forcing Yankees starter Masahiro Tanaka to hustle off the mound. Tanaka fired the ball to first and umpire Manny Gonzalez initially ruled that Lake was out. But Cubs manager Rick Renteria emerged from the dugout to challenge the play, which was overturned and resulted in Lake being ruled safe.
"Our eyes told us he was safe," Renteria said. "... When you go out there, obviously, you talk to the umpire a little bit and you kind of position yourself to make sure you're validating your information with the information that's being gathered by the guys in the dugout. It was a safe assumption that he was safe."
Lake later stole second base to move into scoring position, but Tanaka struck out both Luis Valbuena and Mike Olt to end the threat and maintain the Yankees' 1-0 lead, which came thanks to a Carlos Beltran homer in the first.
In the seventh inning, however, with the Cubs down 3-0, Renteria challenged another close play at first -- this time unsuccessfully. With Anthony Rizzo on first base and none out, Nate Schierholtz smacked a grounder up the middle that deflected off Tanaka's glove to shortstop Dean Anna, who threw to first. Gonzalez's out call was ruled to stand after a review.
"I thought it was a tie," Schierholtz said. "I think that they probably didn't want to overturn it, because it's one of those things, it's too close. ... Just frustrating, obviously. You watch the video and it's so close. It was a big play."
Had Schierholtz been safe, the Cubs would have had runners on first and second with no outs, with Starlin Castro batting as the potential tying run.
The Cubs have now been successful with four of their seven replay challenges.

MAC Mineralize skin finish natural has been my go-to powder for as long as I can remember. I bought it randomly one day and never looked at an alternative since. Flash forward a few years and my love of MAC is slowly fading and since falling in love with Laura Mercier Silk Creme I felt I needed a product to compliment that and set my foundation from the same range. I ended up picking the Mineral Pressed Powder one day when I was in John Lewis. Not really knowing much about it but knowing that I have very high hopes for the range I felt I'd probably like it.
Laura Mercier Mineral Powder can be used as a foundation by building it up with a buffing brush or be lightly dusted over the face to set makeup. I personally use it as a setting powder but I have used it alongside concealer on those days when I cant be bothered just to give my face a bit of colour and hide some redness. The finish is a soft matte, dewy glow if that makes sense. It looks luminising and soft rather than harsh and cakey. It blurs out all the imperfections and leaves a beautiful soft focus. It's oil free, water resistant and doesn't look cakey or drying on the skin. I wear the shades Real Sand and Natural Beige depending on how tanned I am. It's also worth noting that this does contain SPF, unlike the Laura Mercier Silk Creme which does not.
I'd 100% repurchase these, in fact I have already actually! £31 is excessive for what it is, but I just cant fault it enough to not justify the price tag. It makes my skin look flawless, It doesn't break me out, change colour on my skin and I can see it lasting ages. This is another product thats just solidifies my love of Laura Mercier! I just cant praise this Laura Mercier Mineral Powder Compact enough as it's fuss free, not messy and great for on the go. You can also buy the mineral powder that is just loose but I think I prefer it in compact form as it cuts out a lot of the mess!
