News Update
Seasonal volunteer opportunities abound in North Texas

With charities and nonprofits dedicated to helping everyone from young athletes to the homeless, benevolence is a year-round trait of North Texas culture.
But sometimes, the desire to serve seems to tug at heartstrings a bit tighter during the holidays. For those who don't need bows or ribbons to give their biggest Christmas gifts, it can be a bit overwhelming trying to navigate the sea of volunteerism this time of year if they are not already affiliated with a particular group.
But thankfully, volunteers in North Texas have people too.
The Volunteer Center of North Texas is one such goodwill clearinghouse that recruits volunteers - including individuals, corporations and civic and faith-based groups - to serve at more than 2,500 nonprofits throughout North Texas. These nonprofits utilize VCNT as a sounding board for volunteer needs as they arise.
Volunteering saves nonprofits, corporations and municipalities millions of dollars each year, said Kathi Wenrich, spokes woman for VCNT.
"We're the main hub; it's kind of like
," she said. "Volunteers can just go online or call us for assistance, the same thing goes for corporations. There are so many different things [available]."
To help connect volunteers to community needs, VCNT recently started its holiday volunteer initiative, which lists various seasonal projects in the North Texas region available for public involvement. The list is available on VCNT's website at
"We're really trying to make it simple for folks to know where there's need," Wenrich said. "We do research through our agencies and find one that meets their needs."
Mosaic, Inc. is one such agency that uses VCNT to get the word out about opportunities like its Holiday Helping Hands program, which allows individuals and businesses to bring Christmas cheer to those suffering from intellectual disabilities.
Based in Carrollton, Mosaic provides housing, employment and other life services these individuals. During the holidays, the nonprofit looks to the public to help make the seasons bright - from hosting holiday parties at one of Mosaic's three area group homes to fulfilling individual wish lists.
"We do get busy around Christmas time," said Sarah Boyea, public relations specialist for Mosaic. "We use tons of volunteers and we always need volunteers. We're still looking for monetary [donations] or donated Christmas meals for people in our group homes. Most of the people we serve do not have any family involvement."
Like VCNT, Volunteer McKinney is a matchmaker between volunteers and approximately 55 local nonprofits. Their website -
- allows people to register as a volunteer and search opportunities by date. The website also provides links to the individual nonprofit for further research.
"Especially nonprofits who are tiny, they are the ones that really need us," said Dana Riley, executive director of Volunteer McKinney. "They don't have the money to do the outreach and pay for radio time and pay for ads to get volunteers. They're our quiet secret but they're out there doing good work in our community."
In downtown McKinney, there's almost always something going on in support of a local agency, Riley said, the most recent example being the city's annual Dickens of A Christmas event on Friday. Events like these are a source of family friendly, philanthropic fun, Riley said.
"Volunteer McKinney is all about inspiring people to volunteer no matter in what capacity," Riley said. "We have really active, vibrant collection of people who care and our nonprofits and they really benefit from that. We just feel honored and humbled to be a part of what these nonprofits are doing."
The city of Plano's Volunteer Resource Group also works to help serve the needs of its local nonprofits, partnering with two to three throughout the year. As a city department, Volunteer Resource Supervisor Robin Popik said the group also helps match other city departments with volunteers based on their needs.
In addition to volunteer opportunities, the Volunteer Resource Group also helps the public find places where monetary and clothing donations are being accepted during the holiday season.
A list of organizations with seasonal volunteer opportunities in and around Plano can be found at
is also a helpful resource and one that Popik says they use frequently in their line of work.
While Popik understood why Christmas seems to be a time when more people start looking for volunteer opportunities, she wants to remind people that charities depend on the kindness of strangers 365 days a year, and their needs are never in short supply.
"So many people are interested in giving this time of year and it's a great time to give back," she said. "But giving back all year round is the best way to do it."

I just read the comment about the 2012 race having crappy medals/shirt. Someone must have heard you. This year's stuff was awesome! Lousy expo, but otherwise a great weekend.
This is a fantastic race. The course is a good mix of city, suburbs and natural scenery. It is flat and well supported. The oasis were superb; both sides of the road with sports drinks and water. They even gave gels at two or three points in the route. The community of Ottawa and Gatinau really support this race and it shows by the numerous volunteers and lots of cheering public. The city itself is small, therefore most hotels are within easy walking distance to the race site. Awesome experience this year with temperatures around 10C (50F). Recommended 100%
Well organized and improves every year. Half marathon fills up quickly. Course is Scenic, but the Spectactors make this race memorable. The spectators are everywhere and they inspire you at every mile. Two things that race organizers can improve on: 1)Half Marathon has too many participants and they would be better making Sunday a Marathon only race. 2)The shirts and medals are horrendous. Every runner I know who got one of the shirts or medals made a point of commenting how little effort went into the cheap unappealing race gear and finisher medals.
This was my second Ottawa Marathon, and the course was slightly altered this year. I don't mind, because the best part of travelling to a new city marathon is learning the layout on foot. The people were genuinely friendly (unlike some places that are friendly for the sake of marathon shoppers as well as runners invading the city for a couple days). I stayed at the historic Jail Hostel, which meant I had a two block walk to the start, and a block walk back to my room. I found the place by accident; did I luck out or what?! What I liked best about the marathon: so many different people running this event. What does a marathon runner look like? Never assume. I saw people of all sizes, ages, and abilities doing very well. Crowds were very motivational, because at some point your music can only do so much. Those of us who travelled to Ottawa alone and didn't know anyone were thrilled to have people cheer for us. Those are the memories I will always have of Ottawa. If you go, give yourself an extra day to take photos of the Parliament buildings and downtown. It's a beautiful city.
Very well organized race kit pickup process, and expo was also very good. Easy to access, quick to pick up, and decent deals and exhibitors. Bag drop was very well run, and took no time at all for drop-off and pick-up after the race (however, I ran sub-2:55, making bag pickup less busy). Lots of volunteers on hand, and you can tell the city truly embraces the race weekend, in contrast to others where such races are seen as a nuisance. Start area was well organized, and hopping the barricade to get into the front Blue corral was easy :) Plenty of porta-potties at the warmup area, and also included hand-washing stations, and excellent idea, not usually found at many races. Well done, Ottawa. Marathon course itself was well done, with plenty of water, gatorade and other stations. Sponge stations were excellent to have as well. Road conditions were very good, except for a number of sections on the Gatineau, QC side, where roads were in lesser state of repair, and one later section on the Ottawa side in 30km+ area under construction. Nonetheless, very good overall setup and choice of route. Fans were outstanding overall - some quiet sections, but understandable given the 42.2km nature. In particular, the final 5km-7km had incredible fan support, when runners need it most. Best race experience I've had to date - will definitely return.
This is only my second marathon. My wife and I decided to run it based upon the likelihood of cooler weather in Canada and the great reviews of previous races. As has previously been noted, the weekend was very well organized and the crowds were plentiful and enthusiastic. I am a little biased because I ran a BQ 3:14:59 and made it by one second, so I might be looking through rose colered glasses, but everything about my experience with both the event and the city of Ottawa was top shelf. I will be making the trip north from Florida to race this again.
One of my better marathon experiences, definitely. The expo was large and well- represented, colorful bibs with runner names were great, tech T was great and race info for runners and spectators was plentiful and easily accessible. Actual race was nice - crowd support was outstanding and medals were nice. 10K and marathon on different days helped multiple family members participate. Fluid stations were well stocked. Minor improvement possibilities: Chip was old fashioned, nowadays chip in bib is standard. Walk after end of race was a little long (meeting place was convenient).
This is only my third marathon (I've run 1 other, aside from Ottawa) so my experience is limited. Nonetheless, I feel that this marathon is probably among the best organized. Wait times - even during peak period - for race packet pick-up was very short. Expo was extensive - although crowded due to it being a huge 'race weekend' of 40,000+ runners. Plenty of water, gatorade, and at least 3 gel stops on the course. Plenty of porta-potties at the start and I saw at least 5 different places on the course (there may have been more) with porta-potties too. Lots of medical teams both on the course on bikes and at various water stops. Another reason I like this run, is for the family 2k run on the day before. I was able to run a nice short 2k with my 6 year old and with my partner. She ran a 5k later in the day (10k last year). It's a great chance to have all family members involved and everyone can run a race of their liking (they have 2k family, 5k, 10k on Saturday followed by 1/2 Marathon and Marathon on Sunday). Because this weekend hosts so many runners over two days, I think that the organizers have no choice but to run a tight ship. As such the race is very well organized. In some areas at mid distance, the fans were non-existant but in other areas, the crowd support was truly awesome, particularly from km35 onwards - in fact the crowds helped me through my hellish final 3k's. My one criticism is that in some places the road quality was poor and I imagine a few people might have twisted some ankles. Yet, compared to my city - which has notoriously poor roads, it was far better. Ottawa is a marvellous city, lots to see and do and I regret that I didn't have an extra day to enjoy it. I found the people to be rather friendly. Finally, my hotel, was somewhat pricey. I waited a bit long to book a room (December) and my choices were limited. Also, it took a few visits to the front desk to convince them to allow me to check out at 12pm rather than 11pm, so that I could have a nice shower. (National Hotel - I'm not sure I would give it a great rating). To conclude: run Ottawa for a really cool running experience.
New course route was the best ever. I thoroughly enjoyed myself as a pace bunny from start to finish; the runners who ran with me were amazing and I enjoyed our bantering. :) Highlights -water and gel stations were excellent -39km of course dedicated to the marathoners was AWESOME (i.e., we didn't have to share the road or water stations with the ½ marathoners). -spectator support terrific (esp. the orange slices and freezies provided in various spots) Areas for Improvement -Tshirt design better from previous years but still not one that impresses me -name on bib should be in larger font -more music stations on course especially in the 'dead-zones' i.e., Western Pkwy and Aviation Pkwy Definitely a great race and one you should consider (hope to see you next year). :)
This was the second time I have run the full marathon in Ottawa. The course changed from last year, but for the better I think. The stretches along the Ottawa River and Rideau Canal are beautiful and the spectators are second to none. Great support, they were cheerful and encouraging even in the pouring rain. Even though I crashed and burned (managed to finish though) I plan on making this my must do marathon every year.

"2 Amana units in my new home that have broken now for the 3rd time"
In less than 2 years, we have changed the coils in both units of the house in the attic. Had a leak day one of the purchase of the house, another leak, last summer and this summer, both units went out. Coils in attic rusted within one year and the other within 18 months of the purchase of the house. Now, the big unit for the main part of the house is out. Coils outside are now no good. Compressor spit oil all over. They only want to replace the coils. This unit was the first to have a leak day one of the sale of this new home to me. I would never ever buy nor recommend an Amana to anyone. We always had Trane at our other homes and never once encountered a problem in the 9 years I owned one house and the 6 I have owned my condo. Amana sucks and particularly Capital A/C who intalled the units in the new house and has done the return work on them since buying this house.

"Don't waste your money!! Total piece of junk!!"
In order to zone my house, I had a horizontal unit installed in the attic. Long story short, I've had 16 service calls on the unit. One a-coil replaced, the entire airhandler replaced, the coil on the compressor replaced and now, the a-coil in the new air handler is leaking after only being in the house for 6 months. As of now, I can't even get the company that installed it to call me back. I'm sure they lost money on this sale!!

"Never Again"
I'm very disappointed to be shopping for a new central A/C unit after having the Amana installed only 9 years ago and it is already shot. Thankfully I had a service contract which covered the last two whomping expensive repair jobs, but this time they tell me it would cost as much to fix it as to replace it. No A/C should only last 9 years or should have to have major repairs within that time. I'll never buy Amana again. Unfortunately I also replaced the furnace with an Amana at the same time and I'm hoping that won't give up the ghost next.

"Waste your MONEY"
I bought the system to replace an older system. Every year it has cost me enough sweat to buy a top of the line unit. That is it, I want to get rid of it no matter what. If you buy it, beware!!! It will cost you, not in the parts, but in the refrigerent. R410A is expensive and so is labor!!!! They will gladly replace the parts, but if the part causes the refrigerent to leak so sorry for you. GO WITH ANOTHER BRAND!!!! I have warned you.

Bought a Amana 6 years ago and of course it went out of warranty last year. Like it would matter, they don't have the part to fix it anyways. Last unit I had in my home last 20 plus years. I will never buy a Amana again. High price piece of garbage!

"Do Not Honor Warranty!"
My home was built in 2006, in 2009 my AC unit failed. I had a tech. out and he put freon in and everything was fine for 1 year until it happened again in 2010. At this point a small leak was found in the coil and here is where the trouble is. I went to the Amana/Goodman website and typed in the model and serial #'s. What good luck I thought, my outside unit is covered 10 years parts and labor, my inside unit read that standard warranty information was not available. Long story short Amana/ Goodman warranty process manager is telling me due to human error, I do NOT have 10 years parts and labor only parts. As far as my inside unit it only has 5 years parts warranty. The 2 units were installed at the same time why would they have a different warranty so dramatic? I am calling the Better Business Bureau on this company, it seems my only recourse is to maybe protect other homeowners so this will not happen to them. I caution ALL future homeowners, if you are to purchase a house and it has a Goodman/ Amana air conditioner make sure you see the warranty! The Goodman/Amana warranty process manager said she would need to see the original warranty from the original owner of the home that I bought to honor what I got off off the Amana/Goodman website!!! ...That was over a year ago and unfortunatly the women had cancer and that is why she was selling the house in the first place! BEWARE OF AMANA/GOODMAN THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN THEIR CUSTOMERS!!!!!

"Amana = Garbage"
Purchased our home new in 2002 and it came with a 4-ton Amana unit. All I can say is, "WHAT AN UTTER PIECE OF GARBAGE!!!!!" Constantly having leaking coils and other problems -- I have replaced numerous components during the time I've owned the home. Next unit will be a quality unit like a Trane.

"DO NOT PURCHASE - AC is money pit"
I have a 2800 sq foot home and two Amana AC units. I bought the home brand new 3 years ago and in the last 2 years I have paid over $1000 to have the unit fixed twice. I have argued with the builder who points his finger at the installer of the unit who then points to the manufacturer who points to the installer. Basically I have spent too much money on a unit that I had no choice in the matter of purchasing. I have gone through 2 evaporator coils, tons of freon, a supposed leak (yeah right) and several tripped and blown fuses DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY - spend the extra money and get a trane (sp) it will be beneficial in th elong run

State Violence Increases as Occupiers Lay Siege to Perfect Villain
Los Angeles residents have been laying siege to the Central City Association for nearly a month. The people have been dutifully operating within the law, pitching tents at 9 p.m. and breaking down camp by 6 a.m. right in front of the "1%'s" lobby here in Los Angeles. In the day, we occupy Pershing Square and outreach, rest, and build our community. The people involved have been arrested and harassed, and it is escalating each day we camp at the doorsteps of corporate power.
Who exactly is the CCA? Their clients include Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Boeing, Target, US Bank, Verizon, Chevron, Walmart, and AT&T. They have the ear of the City Council and mayor as they push pro-business, anti-people regulations and laws. They are the shockingly overt bridge between money and politics.
In short, they are the perfect villain – both symbolically and literally. They represent Wall St. and profits over people. They represent how policies driven by corporate cash work to oppress the poor, elderly, and communities of color. They are behind gentrification in downtown LA, evictions, rent hikes, harassment, LAPD thuggery, and government ordinances against the "99%".
Occupiers, most of whom are themselves houseless, have been peacefully gathering every night to protest the Economic Development Meeting and thedowntown 2020 plan to build new high rises, the AEG Stadium and further criminalize dissent and push out the homeless. These are some of the things they are lobbying for:
- Action: Advocate for lifting the Jones settlement to enable equitable enforcement of laws that keep sidewalks available to all. (More info on Jones settlement)
- Action: Expand on efforts to end the pathological tolerance of the service-resistant and/or drug-addicted chronically homeless who choose to self-destruct on our public streets.
- Action: Partner with BIDs, LAPD, and City Attorney to identify problem areas and issues, then implement strategic, consistent law enforcement (e.g., aggressive panhandling, proliferation of shopping carts,intelligence-based graffiti removal).
So we had four arrests last night. Here are some thoughts and testimonies to the terror plot orchestrated by the LAPD around midnight, the night of June 21, 2012.
First thoughts written last night: "4 Arrests in Midnight LAPD Raid on CCA Siege – Occupy Los Angeles – three of my best friends and roommates, and an unknown 4th man ARRESTED. Charges unknown. Police orchestrated tactical raid with 25+ cops, pepper spray out and batons were swinging. Captain Frank (at a compañera's trial yesterday) pointed at her and said, "Don't I know you?". Another police officer told a fifth occupier that "You're getting arrested tomorrow."
I couldn't move, trapped inside a tent and seeing silhouettes of gum-chewing cops, fidgety and in war-mode. LAPD's true colors emerging.
You want to talk targeted kidnappings and terror? Cops were laughing as they pushed and hit us. Laughing as they sent 3 snatch squads and took my friends in the dead of night."
We're traumatized and enraged. Three of my roommates were snatched by LAPD last night. Bails are $50,000, $25,000, and $10,000…. they've been some of the most visible organizers with the siege on the Central City Association (1%'s lobby here in Los Angeles) for nearly a month. They have all been harassed, intimidated, brutalized, and arrested by the LAPD before. They have all been occupying for months and are inspiring in their defiance and rejection of the oppressive status quo.
It began, yet again, with chalk. We've had five arrests for chalking at #626Wilshire, despite the 9th circuit court decision of Mackinney vs. Neilson (1995) that states, "No chalk would damage a sidewalk." This information along with a cease & desist letter from the National Lawyers' Guild in Los Angeles has been sent to the LA Police Department. Clearly they don't care, as the first arrest of the night was for chalking. An unknown man was quickly arrested as the raid materialized from around both corners.
I was in my tent sleeping and was awoken to screams, shouts, and crying. No sirens, no instructions on a bullhorn – there was a frightening SILENCE of legitimacy as 25+ LAPD officers came out of nowhere and ambushed the peaceful, LAWFUL encampment in front of the CCA. I did not go outside.
I did not go outside because I saw silhouettes of smiling cops with batons surrounding my tent. I did not go outside because I was threatened with arrest and flagged as a "leader" in El Segundo on Tuesday at an anti-drone military-industrial complex action. I did not go outside because the day before (June 20), I was nearly taken into custody for an alleged bench warrant. IN OPEN COURT in which I WAS A WITNESS YET TO TESTIFY. The judge said, "That reaks of witness intimidation" and wouldn't allow it. I didn't go outside because I heard some of the strongest comrades I know shouting in fear and uncontrollably crying in confusion and terror. The silence from the LAPD was deafening.
I did not go outside of my hiding place because I am a political dissident the State is targeting.
So I listened.
Here's a report-back from an OccupyLA participant laying siege to the Central City Association:
Tonight at 626Wilshire the police assaulted the camp because one lone participant was chalking. They surrounded him, wrestling him to the ground, unable to site the code they were enforcing. We reminded them that chalk is not vandalism, that it is not graffiti, it washes off, and at bare minimum it is free political speech.
We stood there, six peaceful protesters, standing our ground observing this injustice- filming the police. Questioning their authority. One pig tells us,"Move to the corner of the sidewalk" and "If you don't do what I tell you, I will make you".
We had not moved any closer, we were not any threat to the police officers. We were peaceful protesters. The police called back up. Squad car after squad car pulled up. They took out their batons. They took out their pepper spray. They began screaming in our face. They incited violence and began beating us. They dragged away three of our comrades. They were laughing. We stood our ground. They are the terrorists of the police state. Any fucking pig with a badge, baton and gun is a coward. LAPD is a fully funded, militarized gang.
These are my comrades. We work together, we love each other, we learn with each other, we are inspired, and choose to be deliberately free. They are targeting us, it is almost unbearable. We are a threat to no one other than the status quo and those who choose to make themselves enemies of rebirth and revolution.
We liberate space in front of the lobbyists, the financial and political elite, the bankers to protest the targeting of the homeless, the herding and purge of the poor on behalf of the private property owning class. This is what we get, this is the price of resistance. Constant brutality and repression, the court sytem, the prison industrial complex, monitoring and fucking fascism. The same factors that work to keep the poor and working class oppressed everyday since the dawn of time.
It gets worse for those in the struggle, before it gets better for anyone else. Both borders of the United States are experiencing mass social unrest, and this country is teetering on the edge of an awakening so brutal it can only go one of two ways. We all have power, how will you play into the history that is unfolding? They will come for your neighbor, and then they will come for you. We must unify. We must resist tyranny.
I ask you to question the meaning of your life. I ask you to consider the centuries of oppression that have characterized humanity and to make a choice. Will you enable it?
Will you be complicit? When you see the world for what it is- famine, disease, oppression, greed, violence and torture- what will you do? Will you continue swimming in the status quo, keeping it afloat because you're compelled? Do you realize they have you chasing ever elusive 'stability' determined by your oppressors? Do you realize your television is brainwashing you?
Will you despair? Will you revolt? We are all capable of revolting. It is in our nature as humyns to seek for a better world together, cooperatively. But you must ask yourself what it will take. And you must ask yourself… what is the meaning of your life?
There is a solution, we work together, we strengthen the hive mind. We build collective will and energy to smash the oppressive institutions that own our bodies. The tide of human history is changing. We can employ a dual strategy: discredit and dismantle the oppressive system that stands, while simultaneously building the alternative we imagine. WE CAN AND WILL TRANSITION OUT OF CAPITALISM. Whether you are in the streets or in a cubicle, it is your decision. Our life is meant to be more than production, conditioning and wage slavery. Take control over your life for the first time since you were born into this capitalist system.
Every time they beat us, our resolve is deepened. Every time they arrest us, they know not the demons they create. We are in solidarity with prisoners and resistors everywhere. Our actions, our inspirations, our resistance is more than our bodies and mind can bear. The human spirit guides us, the energies of all humyns who have fallen at the hands of the bloodthirsty monarchs and capitalists flows through our hearts. There will be no peace, until there is justice. There will be no justice, without revolt. I don't think you understand.
The bureaucracy is dead. Long live the revolution!"
As I write this, I am listening to the streamer broadcasting the current but temporary eviction of Occupy Skid Row. 5 tickets have been issued, some of the VERY SAME cops from last night are taping off the area as dump trucks and bulldozers move in to continue criminalizing the homeless. Read about the Siege on the Central City Association here. Read about gentrification here. This fight is in the streets and the people have picked the perfect situation to build a hyper-localized community of resistance. To build revolution, as so many say, we must start from the ground up.The houseless, the disaffected, the broke and hungry… they're in the streets, they're in jail, and they're fighting back. Join us.

About Me Midrange Shopper
I get tired of looking for a Christmas card that relates to the real reason we celebrate Dec. 25. So many are just out of touch with the day. Here I found so many that mentioned Jesus and his birth. Thank you for giving us a large selection to chose from.

Poor quality

The message is wonderful, but the paper and ink are of very poor quality. Appearance compares with those found in the Dollar Store, or similar low end merchant. The intended use is to send these to family members and frienda. I will use what I ordered, but will never order from Walter Drake again!!

This is a Christmas card with a beautifulmessage but the cover is not pretty and the inside printing looks dull.A few shiny parts on the cover would have been more festive.

Everyone who received these Christmas cards, either called me or wrote in their cards to me how much they enjoyed the verse in the card. They said that it is the exact sentiment they felt but had not been able to put into words.

Let's talks security: LastPass finally becomes useful in redesigned new app for Windows Phone
LastPass: When you have been on the internet for as long as we have and have as many passwords stored as we do, apps like LastPass get filed under "necessity" for immediate installation. The app has been on Windows Phone for some time but it was always kind of "meh". That's our technical lingo for saying it was missing features.
Luckily for us, the app has been bumped to version 1.9 and with a slight redesign and some added new features the app has become very useful for those who have amassed a tome of passwords over the years.
For those of you who aren't familiar, LastPass (www.lastpass.com) is a service that acts as a password vault for your PC, Mac, Windows Phone…basically every platform out there today. You can use one master password which will allow you to login to the app and you can see everything.
On the PC, LastPass integrates with your browser (they support all of them) and you can have it auto-fill your login information for sites, making the experience "hands free" whenever a username/password screen pops up. Likewise, it can auto-fill your personal and credit card information.
We also dig the ability to use a YubiKey (multifactor authentication) on our PCs which adds another level of security. Basically on any of our devices, you need a literal USB key that generates a random, one time password sequence to unlock the app. That means even if our master password is compromised, you still can't access our vault. Plus you kind of feel like a badass when using it (cue techno music).
(YubiKey recently made an NFC enabled tool that will work with Windows Phone. Our hunch is LastPass will eventually allow this to work with their app to bring multifactor authentication to your phone. Holla!).
Back to LastPass mobile, the Windows Phone app would sync to your account and pull down your passwords and sites. So far, that seems fairly obvious for such an app. Likewise, you could have it launch IE embedded within the app and go to your respective sites and auto-login.
The stupid thing that was missing was you couldn't actually see your password…ever. So for instance we needed my Fandango password the other night when trying to use their mobile app on my phone, but alas, LastPass was useless as all it showed was ************** with no way to peek behind the mask. [Edit: According to comments this feature was there, just really hard to find.]
Thankfully, version 1.9 of the app fixes that and now you can hold down any site and "Copy password", allowing you to easily transition between sites or even apps on your Windows Phone. Likewise you can launch the site, edit, copy username or even pin that site to your Start screen. In other words, the app is what it always should have been.
You do need to be careful though as the app can stay open in the background, meaning anyone could have your master list should you leave your phone. For that, we suggest you always back out of the app or use the Logoff command. You can optionally leave the app signed in, but that's one heck of a security hole if you ask us. (Another option is to set a PIN, which will allow you use a more temporary password each time the screen locks. This also works if you have it auto-save your password).
LastPass for Windows Phone is technically free but you do need the Premium account to use it, which costs a reasonable $12 a year. If you don't need it on mobile, you can of course use the service for nothing. The app though is suppose to have a 14-day free trial to try it out with your LastPass account.
You can pick up LastPass here in the Windows Phone Store.
There are 46 comments. Sign in to commentDaveGx says:
So no autofill, which is obviously an IE problem as MS will never allow add ons and will always keep IE super basic. :/
DaveGx says:
Ill have to try it again then.
DaveGx says:
Ok, its not too bad but it'd be much better if you could do it within IE itself. Not the devs fault though since they don't have that access.
surowiec says:
Safari on iOS doesn't allow this kind of access either. It would be amazing it did have access in IE, or even access to other Apps.
Jeff Kibuule says:
Thank The Lord almighty. Only need to get WhatsApp fixed and I can ditch my iPhone.
peeder says:
I've always been able to view/copy usernames and passwords, although it's much more straightforward in the new version. In the older version, you'd have to click "Edit" then hit the elipses at the bottom to bring up the options.
peeder says:
You get a pass, since you gave a heads up on the YubiKey NEO. :)
snarkysnickerdoodle says:
He's right...hitting edit allowed you to do this previously.
dlrohm says:
Yea, same here. I could always do this. I like the new interface!
Simon Wilson says:
But even the old version allowed this by clicking the edit option and then the menu bar gave acces to the password. Does look nicer though.
sanders2232 says:
I just use OneNote for storing my passwords. But still cool app. Any reason I'm not seeing where this would be more useful then creating "passwords" on OneNote?
sanders2232 says:
Oh thanks, ya that is a pretty sweet feature! Dang might have to get it.
Rishicash says:
I used to store confidential information in OneNote too but I'm too concerned that if ever my computer is hacked, they will have the keys to my kingdom.
jadan127 says:
theprawn says:
Press and hold to get the copy password option has been there for months.
AndyMellow says:
I can confirm this too - I've been using it for months this way. Admittedly, the new version automatically pops up the menu when you click on an item, which makes it much more obvious - but press-and-hold has been there for months.
Perhaps an update of the title would be in order, given that it has always been useful and you just failed to spot the feature? :P
theprawn says:
More *obviously* useful :)
roddybirks says:
Is this safe to use on a computer that is infected with malware and viruses?
ripple23 says:
BTW the password feature was hidden in the previous version. Having said that, this is a welcome update.
Also for folks who dont want to use a usb key can use Google Authenticator (which is available from 3rd party on the WP8 store) and use 2-factor authenticator. I use it on my Lumia 920 in conjunction with last pass and can vouch that it works just fine.
You can use yubi key or GA but not both (which is expected).
Thargoid says:
Seems like a prime site for hacking to me. You hear about lots of supposedly safe sites and accounts being hacked, so one that holds all your passwords? Call me what you like but I'll give this baby a miss lol.
peeder says:
Steve Gibson looked into them and approved. http://www.grc.com/sn/sn-256.htm
Chris_Kez says:
Search for "Even the iPad" on the Security Now podcast transcript that peeder linked to and you can jump right to the heart of the matter.
After hearing that podcast two years ago I immediately signed up for LastPass.
lippidp says:
+1. No way. You've got to be out of your mind to use a service like this.
dlrohm says:
I beg to differ. I've been using this service for 5+ years. It's top-notch, it allows me to have super strong passwords for all sites/accounts that I use without the need to remember or write them all down. I simply have to remember one super strong password. You can't beat it for $12/year, its an awesome service.
lippidp says:
I'm not commenting on its features or price, but the fact that you are entrusting strangers with your credentials for the sake of convenience. I guess I'm just not that trusting.
Krzysztof Ziemacki says:
I agree. I was really disappointed when I read it stored passwords on the server.
ValZho says:
Password management was a glaring hole when I ditched Android for WP8. I had been using Moxier Wallet for years, but it turns out that Windows Phone is about the only platform they don't support. After MUCH searching and testing, I finally landed on StrongBox for password management between my Lumia 810 and my Mac. Needs some polish on the interface, but the functionality was exactly what I was looking for. So far, the dev seems to be responsive so I'm hoping that we'll see some interface improvements soon (it's not horrible, just needs some tidying up). StrongBox also adds shared "boxes" so I can, for example, share passwords and other sensitive information with clients using a shared, encrypted store, or my wife and I can access each others boxes (just in case of emergency).
Alex Rodriguez Jr. says:
SkyWallet still has my vote, free service, & stores on my SkyDrive. Nice to see other apps improve though
russbean says:
I'm with you on SkyWallet, but the auto fill feature is pretty tempting.
Jazmac says:
Skywallet doesn't auto fill? I use LastPass on the desktop but I agree, this is tempting.
Tense says:
myrandex says:
I've always used Password Manager for this purpose. Information is backed up to SkyDrive there and migrating was pretty easy from my Lumia 900 to 920 (unlike everything else off of the phone...Microsoft is probably the absolute worst when it comes to backing up and restoring data unfortunately).
XboxOmac says:
I use the lastpass mobile website. :) Very friendly in my 900.
peSHIr says:
Show password and Copy password menu options where not that hard to find (still in same place in the update:open a one record, tap three dots for the menu). It did take an awful long set of taps to get there though, and the all-app-one-Pivot-control design was usability crap. This is a *very* big step in the right direction. I like it! As soon as I have a WP8 device with NFC and the LastPass app supports it, I will be trading in my current YubiKey for a YubiKey NEO in a heartbeat..
Simon Mc says:
For those complaining about this service using data that is stored remotely; you really should read up on how encryption actually works before posting a judgment on something you haven't taken the time to fully understand.
All password data is encrypted and decrypted locally before being sent or received between either client or the remote host. So even if the remote servers were hacked (and your data accessed) it would be next to worthless in it's remotely encrypted state.
You can also enable 2 or 3 factor authentication if you really want to be safe.
This service is top draw both for convenience and more importantly security.
Chris_Kez says:
jhoff80 says:
I love LastPass... but at the same time, it's ridiculous that WP8 doesn't have a save passwords option in IE10... ideally synced with Windows 8 / RT.
signal-2-noise says:
I wish iAccounts (iOS) would make it's way to WP.
roystreet says:
So, is there one app that will sync user/password info both between Windows 8 on my phone as well as Windows on my tablet?
SMMinke says:
Yep, have used LastPass for years and last year they bought XMarks, which syncs browser bookmarks across all your browsers and devices. Also, LastPass has an Enterprise version that allows SingleSignOn (SSO) and AD integration, Mobile Device Management, etc. Very handy for companies that have single username/passwords that are shared between employees on certain websites and such.

Tilde. The best letter ever. Used as a diacritic mark in Spanish (ã, õ, ñ). yourmom: yo sup
linkinparkownz: nuffin yourmom: k Bot: OxeyeDaisy ENTERED THE CHATROOM. OxeyeDaisy: We interrupt this program. You have been tilde'd. ~~~~~~ Bot: linkinparkownz WAS KICKED. Bot: yourmom WAS KICKED. OxeyeDaisy: Hehehe... ·_- |
1. | ~ | ||
used at the end of words to make them longer. instead of saying "It's taking too looooooonnnggggg." you would say, "It's taking too long~" Periods are rarely used after. Used by literates and occasionally preps.
can also be used as an exclamation point. originates from, well, the buttons being next to each other. Example 1
Why is this line so long? It's boring me~ Example 2 I can't wait~~! |
2. | ~ | ||
The character ~ is colloquially used in written form in some areas of the UK to denote sleazy, sordid, or otherwise base behaviour.
~ can also cover flirtatious behaviour with the opposite sex: you are never ~ with the same sex. An ability to ~ is generally viewed as being a positive personality trait, unless it is used on a friend's mother, grandmother, or domestic animal. Being ~ to a friend's sister is usually acceptable. ~ is also the mystic rune of the send-it organisation. The vast majority of the world's virgins, comic book fanatics, computer scientists, and train spotters wish they had some ~. MATE WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING? THAT BIRD YOU'RE ~~~ OVER IS HIS MOTHER!
I was nervous before my interview, but she was a woman so I gave it some ~ and got the job. Remember that bird last night? I gave her some heavy ~ and she loved it. |
3. | ~ | ||
Used when something is meant to be taken sarcastically, since sarcasm is usually over looked when it isn't used while speaking. It can either be used in front or at the end of a phrase. Commonly used on message boards. Girl 1: Sam went to the jonas brothers concert last night. I'm so jealous of her.
Girl 2: OMG that's soo cool~ |
4. | ~ | ||
The tilde (~) is used several ways. 1. It can be use in chat to make a word seem longer, such as in example 1. 2. It can also be used in chat to clarify sarcasm, as in example 2. 3. This key is very commonly the "console" key in most flash games that are editable. 1. This lecture is so~ long (instead of sooooooooo long)
2. I'm so sure~ -or- I bet it is~ 3. Any flash games. |
5. | ~ | ||
Tilde, followed by a number, a date, an amount, or a similar expression means "around", "circa", "more or less". Used on discussion boards. He must be ~20 years now.
Yesterday I had ~10 combos above 400 in icy tower. |
6. | ~ | ||
1.) Used to indicate sarcasm over text, chat, or other message boards. 2.) Used when someone says nice when texting to indicate that it's also chill. 1.) "I can't wait until biology class ~"
2.) "Nice~" |
7. | ~ | ||
1. Used for flirting, sexual activity, etc. 2. Sarcasm, Smartass like. 3. The button to open console in FPS games. Usually used in Source games. 1: Guy: Mmmh, you enjoyed that~
2: Guy: Dude, do you like CoD Guy 2: Yea, i sure like that game~ 3: Guy: hur hur, let me use cheat codes in Half Life 2! *clicks "~"* Hm...Sv_cheats 1, Impulse 101...F YEAH! |

Stolen Ford Model A recovered
Classic car found unharmed in Detroit
Courtesy of the Dearborn Police Department
Police have located this 1930 Ford Model A, which was reported stolen June 26.
Police have located this 1930 Ford Model A, which was reported stolen June 26.
We're happy to report that the 1930 Ford Model A roadster stolen two weeks ago has been located.
According to the Detroit Free Press, the car—which disappeared from the Henry Ford museum parking lot along with its travel trailer and Ford F-250 tow vehicle on June 26—was found in a Detroit industrial area earlier this week.
The Model A's California owner can breathe a bit easier knowing that his classic survived the heist unscathed. Unfortunately, his F-250 is still missing. The pickup is white on top and gold on the bottom, with a NASCAR sticker in the rear window and a NASCAR license-plate holder. The California plate number is 6P95641.
If you have any information on the F-250, call the Help Eliminate Auto Theft tip line at (800) 242-4328 or visit www.miheat.org.
