After hundreds of hours of research and reflection, I have come to the conclusion that professional football as we now know it is doomed. As is professional basketball. Neither the NFL nor the NBA have a viable future. Their impending labor struggles make this clear. I could explain the complex financial algorithms I employed to make such a bold prediction. I could detail my exhaustive survey of the history of business. I could diagram the rolling cycles of boom and bust down through centuries of Western development.
Or I could simply tell you that, like a palm reader, having carefully scanned the lifelines on the bottom of Michelle Ryan's feet, I see the end of the NFL just around the corner.
And that very soon, you will meet a handsome stranger. And take a long journey. By train!
Anyway, doomed.
I propose to save them.
The battle between the players and the owners continues to be presented to us as an archetypal struggle between the virtues and necessities of labor and capital. The nuances of which are meant to seem as complicated as a Tokyo subway map.
They are not.
The owners in both cases, already wealthy beyond your imagining and at your expense, simply want to keep more of their record profits. This they will do by rolling back the money they spend on players.
The end.
A lockout is unimaginable. We are a nation of football junkies, after all; and I shudder to think where a cold-turkey year without our football fix might lead America. Certainly into a period of unprecedented public incivility. A whole nation with the shakes. With the icy sweats. With the bad hands and the bad head and the bad heart. The entire country bent double under the bad weight of that unjunked fantasy jones.
Accident and assault rates skyrocket.
A widening, deepening recession as hundreds of thousands of sportscasters and strippers flood the job market.
Political discord and collapse as senators and representatives of every stripe and party are left without home state stadium graft and without the campaign kickbacks that flow straight off the foam of those $12 beers.
Divorce rates quadruple as couples emerge from their annual autumn torpor and think, What have I done? Sweet Jesus, what have I done?
With our red zones empty and our churches full, it's only a matter of time before we lash out. Before we finally settle those old accounts. Before we annex Mexico. Before we at long last launch a nuclear strike against whichever Korea we're against. Before we incinerate, as was foretold by both Nostradamus and the liner notes to the White Album, Canada.
For want of weekly NFL football, the world will lie in ashes, a lifeless and smoldering ruin.
I can't just stand idly by and watch that happen. Also, I have a Christmas Club account due to mature next year and I need the $78.
First, nationalize the game. Take it away from the owners and place it under the auspices of the state. If the owners complain, remind them of the many moments in history when the rough justice of the streets was used to recall to the aristocracy its essential fragility, and to restore fairness and to reapportion property. As was the case in the French Revolution. They'll sign over their teams fast enough when cries of Off with their heads! ring through every fan zone and food court and concourse.
Then change America's Game (Pat. Pending) to suit the new America (Pat. Pending).
There is no longer such a thing in this country as job security. We're all freelancers now. A Nation of Entrepreneurs! says your idiotically upbeat Style Section. I'm sure you've seen it in all the papers. At least the ones still publishing.
In that spirit, no more NFL contracts, no more NFL salaries. Every player to live a life just like every fan.
Win or go hungry.
Every game, all season long, winners take all.
The NFL pumps about $10 billion around the economy annually. With 333 games played every year, that makes each game, every game, from preseason to the playoffs, worth about $30 million.
Therefore, every week at every game, this same amount will be held as a large stack of shrink-wrapped cash at midfield, surrounded by armed guards. The winning team may carry it away and divide it however it likes among its members. (Avidly entrepreneurial fans can make the choice to strong-arm the money away from the players by overwhelming them as they try to leave the stadium. Such laissez-faire security guarantees sellouts everywhere, even Jacksonville.)
At halftime, one lucky ticket holder will be awarded his or her weight in TANF coupons or day-old bread. And in the interest of full employment, teams may now be of any size up to 25,000 men, so can pull their neediest fans right down from the stands to help out on special teams.
But there will be no coaches, as they are nothing but bourgeoisie money changers, angry middlemen and neurotic parasites.
The rules of play remain otherwise unchanged.
As I've suggested elsewhere, the rate of serious injury will plunge if we take away the helmets and the pads. Simple instincts for self-preservation -- not ranting martinets or indifferent owners -- will determine player conduct. Teams will be allowed to keep their current uniforms if they choose, but with no padding. In the grand spirit of the American theater, however, teams willing to show some flair in their costuming will be awarded double points. Therefore, a not-very-good team willing to play while dressed as actual cowboys or saloon girls will find equal footing against a better, drabber, butch-er team.
And of course, no weapons but those previously registered to players.
By accelerating a process already well under way, this is a simple solution to save professional football from itself, and with it the fantasy lives of tens of millions of obsessed fans.
To say nothing of Canada and Mexico.
The NBA? Repeat as above, but in short pants.

More infos here: http://www.specktra.net/t/180927/mac-early-buzz-news-on-products-for-2013/1020#post_2308510
This is an Asia exclusive collection.

More infos here: http://www.specktra.net/t/180927/mac-early-buzz-news-on-products-for-2013/1020#post_2308510
This is an Asia exclusive collection.
PRO King of Blending
Posted this in the other thread, but figured I'd put it here as well, since I have some experience with a lot of the colours...
Thanks for all the info! This collection actually makes me feel like an old-timer, because I already have so much of it. A large portion is actually taken from the SPring Colour Forecast 2010 collection. I'm surprised to see so much of it in one place, but some of those shades are fantastic all around ones and I think it's a good opportunity for those who missed them the first time (or have run out!) to grab some solid Mac shades.
SHOWSTOPPER - Oh My Darling, Jest, Mineralism, Showstopper
Showstopper is the only shade I have from this quad, but I would almost refuse to buy it on general principle because it's been promoted so many times.
DEVILISHLY DARK - Manila Paper, Goldmine, Honey Lust, Devilishly Dark
I already have Manila Paper, which is one of my favourite highlighters ever, and Goldmine. Tempted to get this just to back up MP, but it's awfully similar to stuff I have...
MELT MY HEART - Forgery, Melt My Heart, Heather Belles, Silver Ring
I have three of the four shades and Forgery is one that never much appealed to me. Why do they keep re-promoted Heather Belles? This is the 3rd or 4th time for that one, too.
HOLD MY GAZE - White Rabbit, Dame's Desire, Deep Secret, Hold My Gaze
Again, I have everything except Deep Secret, but I can say that the other shades will make this one worth the price. All three are solid.
IDOL EYES - Idol Eyes, Lustre Leaf, Russian Blue, Birds & Berries
I used to have Idol Eyes but got frustrated by its fallout. Too bad, because it's a fascinating colour. I have Russian Blue and Birds & Berries. RB swatches terribly but looks decent on. B&B is excellent.
PINK FREEZE - Pink Freeze, Bruised Plum, Deception, Magic Moor
I have Bruised Plum and Magic Moor. Not sure I need to back up either of them enough to sell me on the quad, but this would be the one I'd be most likely to buy.
I keep hearing awesome things about the 224. Anyone care to share their experiences?
LIPSTICK: Fun Fun, Hue, Overjoyed, Cheers All Around, Fresh Salmon, Lovelorn, Laugh A Lot, Heartless
I have Fresh Salmon, Laugh A Lot and Heartless. Heartless is a great standard red. There are a lot of reds like it, but if you want a nice, bright shade that doesn't pull too warm or cool (slightly warm), it's a great choice. Fresh Salmon is a gorgeous salmon-pink with gold shimmer. I can't believe they haven't repromoted it before now. I was wearing it this week, actually! Laugh A Lot doesn't have a lot of punch, but it's a nice bit of rosy-plumminess on the lips. Very nice on cooler complexions, although it's sheer enough that it would probably work on warmer skin tones as well.
I know a lot of people have been looking forward to a return of Fun Fun, so I suspect this one will sell out.
LIPGLASS: Pretty Plush, Fullfilled, Bountiful, Big Baby, Ample Pink, Full For You
I'm not a huge fan of Plushglasses, as I find them too sheer, but there are some nicer examples of them in here. Full For You is a particularly pretty light, sparkly pink.
I feel like I've hauled already...

OMG, Fresh Salmon and Heartless are coming back!!! I can't wait to backup these babies! I almost had happy tears.
Thank you MAC!
MAC NC15 • Team Pink
....stunning collection!!!
I will get several Quads and lipsticks even though most of the shades are repromotes and I do already have them.
Time to BU beloved goodies
So many quads!!!
SHOWSTOPPER - Oh My Darling, Jest, Mineralism, Showstopper
I already have Showstopper (in Smoking Eyes) and Jest so will probably skip. It sounds like a really nice neutral quad though!
DEVILISHLY DARK - Manila Paper, Goldmine, Honey Lust, Devilishly Dark
I have Manila Paper (WW Valiant quad), Goldmine, and possibly Honey Lust so this is another skip.
MELT MY HEART - Forgery, Melt My Heart, Heather Belles, Silver Ring
I only have Heather Belles (I agree - why do they keep repromoting this??) but I probably have dupes for the others and don't wear silver/grey a lot so this is not for me.
HOLD MY GAZE - White Rabbit, Dame's Desire, Deep Secret, Hold My Gaze
I only have Hold My Gaze so will probably pick this one up!
IDOL EYES - Idol Eyes, Lustre Leaf, Russian Blue, Birds & Berries
Hmm...I have B&B and Russian Blue, and I've heard bad things about Idol Eyes, so another skip!
PINK FREEZE - Pink Freeze, Bruised Plum, Deception, Magic Moor
I have Bruised Plum, Magic Moor, and *possibly* Pink Freeze, so this is a skip. Yay for my wallet!
LIPSTICK: Fun Fun, Hue, Overjoyed, Cheers All Around, Fresh Salmon, Lovelorn, Laugh A Lot, Heartless
I have Fresh Salmon (plus BU), Laugh A Lot (plus BU) and Heartless. Not really fussed about any of the others but I might change my mind.
I'm on a lipgloss no-buy so those are all a skip.
Looking like a cheap haul for me!
Idol Eyes quad and Fresh Salmon for me! I'm excited
Yay! More collections to look forward to! Heartless will be mine!
re: Fresh Salmon. I really love the colour, but the name really puts me off. I get this mental image of being smacked in the face with a wiggling, trashing salmon
Such a great collection! My list Quads: Showstopper Devilishly Dark (have to think about it) Lipsticks: Fresh Salmon Heartless Laugh A Lot (probably skipping, already have that one) Never bought a quad before because there's always at least one shade I don't like, but Showstopper might be my first quad! I do hope this time Showstopper is better than the one in my Dashing Lassies palette, that one has no pigmentation whatsoever. I'm very curious about the release date!
OMG Freakin´ God!!
There´s so much I want from this collection!
And I´ve been crying over Fresh Salmon for years now...
*So happy!*

Oh, the glosses are Plushglasses! I didn't realize. I probably won't get any then, they never seem to be pigmented. Plus my lips are full enough without them anyway. Fresh Salmon is a must for me, I thought it was so gorgeous when it first came out.
I don't know what I want to get for once. The Plushglasses are automatically off my list. They burn my lips. I guess Heartless and Fresh Salmon since I see those two lipsticks mentioned in the threads a lot. I'm at loss for what else to get if anything. Not sure if I should get any quads or just make a palette with permanent shades.

I'd be interested in Devilishly Dark and Idol Eyes; I have none of these shades. I don't need more lippies, but Fresh Salmon would probably find a home with me as well.

Lord help me. This is so true, yet I want to buy more. I just can't help myself. Just today during lunch I saw the new Maybelline Vivids and that have this beautiful purple color called Brazen Berry. I tried so hard not to buy it, but I had a coupon for $1.00 off so I bought it. I have no willpower whatsoever. This is going to be a hard collection to skip, but I may have to. My kitty Shetara who is only 8 is very sick and may need surgery. That will take away my lipstick buying money for awhile. Not before the Strength collection thankfully.
I love Fresh Salmon so much. It looks beautiful with wide-awake neutral eyes and a bright blush (like Bite Of An Apple) for a really fresh, pretty look! Definitely one of my favourite spring lipsticks. I might just have talked myself into another BU... Laugh a Lot is one of my HG MLBB shades. I ended up selling most of my backups just because there are so many other shades out there, but it's definitely worth picking up if you don't have it! What is the deal with Idol Eyes? It looks like an interesting shade but I've heard so many people just go "ZOMG THE FALLOUT!" that I've been put off.

If something were to happen in your neighborhood, such as a shooting or a person to go missing, how would you know? In Warren County people with listed numbers are called by the Bowling Green police when an emergency occurs.
The police department was one of the first law enforcement agencies in the country to get this technology, which is now becoming more and more popular throughout the country. WBKO's Tamara Evans has more on this notification system.
When you hear the phone ring and you start to hear a recording you may be tempted to hang up but don't.
"Because I know we're inundated now with calls from sales calls to campaign calls and things like that, and the natural response is to hang up," Bowling Green Officer Barry Pruitt said.
But think twice before you put your phone down!
"At least listen to the first part of the message because it could be an emergency message."
Since 1997 the Bowling Green Police Department has had a notification system for Warren County called The Communicator.
"(The Communicator) It's an emergency notification system or a reverse 911 system that has the capability of calling a whole lot of people in a very short period of time," Pruitt said.
The system allows the police department to call you for almost any type of situation - from something dangerous going on in your neighborhood to even someone in your area that is missing.
"For instance, when we have a lost child or Alzheimer's patient that's missing we can go in on a map circle an area, and then send out calls saying 'Hey, if you've seen this person, please call the Bowling Green Police Department.'," Pruitt said.
Pruitt also said some of the previous mentioned scenarios have actually happened warranting the use of the calling system, which makes the system helpful for everyone.
"In those first minutes of a crisis, getting information out is very important, but it also frees up manpower where we don't have to have several people individually out having to make those phone calls."
And for those not listed in the phone book to be a part of this system "In the future, you'll be allowed if you have an unlisted phone number or don't have a land-line phone but have a cell phone," Pruitt said. "You can actually be able to register with us so if something happens in your neighborhood that the police think you need to know about. We can call and tell you".
Many college campuses are looking into getting a system like this to contact students and parents when something happens at their school. Also, this type of system is now being utilized in the Wolf Creek Dam area.

Works for most websites now and supports mobile too. Great work.
Works great as long as you don't have BP media installed.
Appears to work well. A few more options would be attractive. I may see if I can mod it to suit.

As soon as you are stabilized after your spinal cord injury (SCI), your transition into rehabilitation (rehab) begins. The initial focus of rehab is to prevent complications related to your SCI and for you to relearn how to do daily functions, sometimes by using different muscle groups.
Rehab centers help you adjust-physically and emotionally-to life with less mobility and feeling than you previously had. What rehab does depends on which part of your spine was injured. Rehab can include learning how to:

- Do daily tasks, such as cook, brush your teeth, and move from a wheelchair to a bed or chair.
- Prepare for life after rehab by learning to cope with your feelings, communicate your needs, and be physically and emotionally intimate.
Rehab centers
Rehab for an SCI generally takes place in a special center. You and your family work with a rehab team, which includes your doctor, rehab nurses, and specialists such as physical and occupational therapists. Your rehab team designs a unique plan for your recovery that will help you recover as much function as possible, prevent complications, and help you live as independently as possible.
Choosing the right rehab center is important. Be sure that you choose one that meets your specific needs. Before choosing a rehab center, ask questions about its staff, accreditation, and activities, and how it transitions you back into your community.

SDCC: Marvel's "Doctor Strange" Combats "Death and Pain" in New Trailer
Comic Books, Film
Here is the latest in our year-long look at one cool comic (whether it be a self-contained work, an ongoing comic or a run on a long-running title that featured multiple creative teams on it over the years) a day (in no particular order whatsoever)! Here's the archive of the moments posted so far!
Today we take a look at Brian Talbot's great Tale of One Bad Rat…
You know, Talbot's work is so strong on this book I don't think I even need to show you anything but the first two issues (the comic is split into three chapters over four issues – which is kind of weird, now that you think about it) and you will want the comic if you have not read it yet.
First, check out the stunning opening…
This introduces us to Helen, the homeless girl with an awful past who found the strength to carry on based on the works of Beatrix Potter and also her pet rat…
Flashbacks mix throughout the book…
Even when it seems she has met some okay people when she begins to stay with some squatters, but her past follows her there…
and when the squatters' cat kills her rat, well, she takes off…
she begins traveling and that's where we learn that her rat is still with her, but in a slightly different fashion…
This is an excellent work by Talbot filled with wonderful artwork and a powerful plot with a quirky way of delivering said plot. The collected work is especially good (because of the whole "chapters not equaling number of issues" thing).
It looks awesome. I'll see if I can find the TPB somewhere.
Brian, I love this column. You have pointed me to great comics I might never seen otherwise.
Two blogs about the same comic in one day.This must really be good.I'll look for it
On a side note.Is there a reason why CSBG isn't the first option on the blog list?Is it a setting on my comp.?Not that I hate spinoff or anything,but I like to read the CSBG posts everyday,the others not so much.Thanks in advance.
It looks awesome. I'll see if I can find the TPB somewhere.
They did a re-release a month or so back, so it should be about.
I just read this a couple of weeks ago. It is a fantastic comic. The latest TPB has some nice extras too, I particularly liked an essay written by Talbot.
On a side note.Is there a reason why CSBG isn't the first option on the blog list?Is it a setting on my comp.?Not that I hate spinoff or anything,but I like to read the CSBG posts everyday,the others not so much.Thanks in advance.
I presume they want to promote the new blog, so it's the default first option on the blogs now. You can still get Comics Should Be Good's latest posts pretty easily, right?
i never read this when it came out as what i heard made it sound too depressing for me.
However, i
rats, so i may get this on the strength of the artwork & detail of the rat alone.
By the way, rats make excellent pets. They are clean [you can see the rat cleaning itself in the bathroom], can be housebroken, and are extrememly personable. You can't ask for a better pet than a couple of pet rats. If you only get one, you'll need to spend lots of time with it. You can get two or three [of the same gender] and they'll keep each other company.
I have a couple of issues of this that I picked up in the quarter bin at my shop's annual Valentine blowout sale. It's a beautiful book. I should read it in its entirety someday.
Not to push too much Talbot, but do Luther Arkwright next!
I have been meaning to read this for two years now, but something always comes up and I end up putting it back on the shelf. I really need to just sit down and read it.
It is lovely, and as Warren Ellis pointed out in Fell back matter, Talbot uses the 9 panel grid as an underlying structure, but adjusts panel sizes in order to alter the story rhythm, while still having that grid structure to help along reading.
I was never impressed with this comic. I mean, there's some craft in it for sure, but after that… I don't know, I just don't connect with it at all.
Yes Brian it's only one extra click,that's all.
I was never impressed with this comic. I mean, there's some craft in it for sure, but after that… I don't know, I just don't connect with it at all.
Me neither.
I thought it was great.

Opening statements on the second phase of the Michael Kelly clergy abuse trial will be held at 10 a.m. today, and the first witness will testify this afternoon.
A jury ruled last Friday that Kelly is liable of sexually assaulting a former Stockton altar boy in the 1980s. The second phase will explore whether the Stockton Diocese is liable for its handling of complaints against Kelly regarding the former altar boy, now 37.

1. Lentils.
Because fiber and vegetable protein belong together like two lentils in a pod.
2. The majesty of life, as displayed by homegrown herbs.
3. Being beekeepers.
Or, depending on the zoning laws, being "aspiring apiarists."
4. Talking about food politics.
Factory farming is ripping this nation apart.
5. Making jokes about corn, ideally involving Monsanto.
We laugh to keep from crying.
6. Subverting capitalist modes of exchange through bartering, sharing, and collective purchasing.
Capitalism, you're mean. You're not invited to my birthday party!
7. Being body positive.
For real, don't police my body.
8. Shaming those who slut-shame.
GTFO, slut-shamers.
9. Queering the space.
The party doesn't start until everything's covered in glitter.
10. Atoning for their parents' sins in industry and finance.
11. Birkenstocks…
12. …but if you're not going anywhere treacherous, let's opt for going barefoot.
Running barefoot: even better.
13. Talking things out.
Good communication is the key to happiness and fulfillment.
14. The magic of recycling.
But even more than recycling, reusing! And even more than reusing, reducing!
15. Drinking out of mason jars.
Reuse is the most effective form of recycling.
16. Being comfortable enough in their sexuality to snuggle up to people with whom they're not sexually involved.
17. Voting. On everything.
You know what's even better than "majority rules"?
Consensus, y'all. Raise your hand if you agree.
18. Vermicompost. How can anyone resist the slimy little face of a red wiggler?
D'awwww, look at those worms! Look at that soil! Goddamn that's some nutrient-rich-looking soil.
19. Knowing that whether you're still living in an intentional community or not, you'll always have a special, soil-covered bond with the people you fought with, voted with, lived with, and learned from, and loved.
20. That might not have been the intentional part, but it's definitely the best part.

Banking industry leaders endorse new cybersecurity bill
A new congressional bill titled "Data Security And Breach Notification Act of 2015" aims to increase intelligence and awareness about threats against consumer data. According to PYMNTS, the legislation is designed to enhance standards for data protection and alert entities in the private sector about new vulnerabilities as they arise.
Sponsored with bipartisan support, the bill was introduced to the Senate this month by Sen. Tom Carper (D-Delaware), and Sen. Roy Blunt, (R-Missouri) and moved successfully through the House Energy and Commerce Committee under the guidance of Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn and Democrat Peter Welch.
One of the requirements of the bill is that businesses must inform customers within 30 days of a breach that their personal information … more
Discover partners with Apple Pay
The AP report suggests that the decision came after "months of complaints" from customers that Discover hadn't yet addressed Apple Pay compatibility.
"As the mobile payments landscape matures, Discover remains committed to giving cardmembers secure options for using their cards and mobile devices," Diane Offereins, Discover's president of payment services, said in a statement. … more
85 percent of Apple users haven't tried Apple Pay
For both consumers and businesses, the advent of payment systems like Apple Pay represent a new avenue of revenue and payment processing options. And while some have been quick to trumpet the turning tide in favor of mobile payment processing, adoption rates lag behind the hype.
According to PYMNTS.com, 85 percent of Apple users have yet to try the service, indicating an attachment to old payment methods. A November report by the site and InfoScout found that in November 2014, total usership among iPhone 6 owners was a mere 5 percent, which grew to 6 percent by March of this year.
"Ask most people what the state of mobile payments is today, and they'll tell you it's just kicking off," explains Alix Murphy of TechCrunch. "With Facebook announcing the option to send … more
Hospitality industry routinely the target of breaches
The hotel management industry processes payments on many different fronts. From the front desk or concierge to the lobby bar, guests at hotels face many different locations and platforms to purchase goods, services and amenities. A Wells Fargo report called "Understanding the impact of a data breach on your hotel or resort" provides a log of high-profile and damaging attacks perpetrated by members of the public and hospitality employees to compromise customer payment data.
Those entities range from high-end luxury resorts to travel agencies and motel chains, indicating that hackers don't discriminate when it comes to stealing data. Moreover, it shows all participants in the hospitality industry can be susceptible to attacks if their payment processing systems aren' … more
3 mistakes when selecting a payment processor
Selecting a payment processing system can be a daunting task for business owners, especially when updating an old system. With a host of regulatory and compliance considerations to make as well as cost and convenience, a third party service provider can help decision makers find the ideal solution.
On the Small Business Trends blog, Shawn Hessinger suggested some of these common mistakes businesses make when selecting a payment processing platform:
Not getting enough fraud protection.
Over the last two years, a spate of high-profile breaches has made payment card data security chief among business leader concerns. Hessinger suggests selecting a provider that will work with your company to help alleviate the burden of fraud, from an immediate response to preventative … more
Not all businesses require EMV terminals: Does yours?
At Vantage, we routinely field questions about payment processing technology. Clients come to us every day with their queries: sometimes specific ones about their business model while others become more frequently asked. With the growing buzz surrounding EMV chip card rollout, driven in part by a frenzy to sell terminal hardware, here is one of our top EMV FAQs to date:
Question: "My business processes all credit card payments online and never sees a physical credit card because we receive this information over the phone. Is this EMV-ready terminal something that we will need to acquire?" Answer: If payments online and over the phone are the only transactions your company manages, then no, you won't need an EMV terminal. EMV is being implemented in an attempt to prevent … more
March blog roundup: PCI compliance strategies
Last month, we delved into PCI compliance topics on the Vantage Viewpoint blog. What are the hurdles to staying compliant, and what are the risks to overlooking payment card security? In case you missed it, here are some of our favorite posts from March about PCI compliance.
PCI 3.0 standards expect more constant vigilance from vendors
Key takeaway: Continuous review and monitoring is written into the new PCI 3.0 standards to prevent companies from overlooking their responsibility to evaluate practices on an ongoing basis. Instead of cramming for a PCI audit, businesses are expected to integrate assessment measures into their regular operations.
Strong third party relationships can boost efficiency of response plans
Key takeaway: One of the most important facets of … more
Verizon: 80 percent of merchants fail interim PCI assessments
On this blog, we discussed previews of the 2015 Verizon PCI Compliance Report from January, which suggested that fewer than one-third of merchants remained compliant between audits. According to the full report released this month, that figure could be as low as one-quarter. The firm states that 80 percent of all retailers fail interim PCI audits, leaving a sizeable majority of merchants vulnerable to cyber attacks through most of the year.
"Today's cybersecurity landscape is constantly changing," said Rodolphe Simonetti, managing director, professional services for Verizon Enterprise Solutions. "Compliance at a point in time isn't sufficient to protect data. Putting the focus on making compliance sustainable is key. It must be a part of day-to-day activities within an … more
For mobile payment platforms, merchants shouldn't feel rushed
With countless media stories about the rise of mobile payment technologies like Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and others, merchants may feel pressure to get compatible to offer customers another option for point-of-sale transactions. However, Natalie Burg of Forbes says businesses on the fence about whether or not to adopt a new platform shouldn't feel rushed to make the decision.
"Mobile technology offers many opportunities to grow consumer and merchant payments alike and for less friction in the experience for both," says Troy Leach, CTO of PCI Security Standards Council. "However, with that comes many new challenges not associated with traditional payments that all parties have come to trust."
Granted, those "traditional payments" come with challenges of their own, as evidenced by … more
Experts predict active year of breaches ahead of EMV deadline
Because payment cards with EMV security chips will proliferate within the market this year, experts expect that 2015 will be an active year for breaches. This is because criminals with tried-and-true methods of compromising existing POS systems will attempt to exploit the final window of time when those strategies are effective.
"It absolutely will be the worst year of fraud because criminals know we are putting bars on the windows with EMV," said Bob Letgers of Fidelity National Information Solutions. "They will exploit that channel as much as they can."
Letgers made his remarks during a panel at the Consumer Bankers Association conference in Orlando, according to the Orlando Sentinel. As the October deadline draws closer, hackers have at least six months left to … more

Journaling about Sports
Article Courtesy Scrapjazz.com: by Rachel Myerson
I live in a house full of sports-obsessed males. They play sports, they watch sports, and they think about sports. As a result of this, I take pictures of sports and I scrap about sports. Although the uniforms and the scores change from year to year, I find that the photos look pretty much the same. In order to make sure that the layouts come out different, I am always looking for new approaches to sports scrapbooking. One way that I vary my approach is through the way I journal about sports.
Whether you are journaling about a family member playing sports or attending a professional sports event, here are some different approaches you can use for journaling about sports.
Focus on the best part
When my sons first started playing sports, the subject was fresh and the high point of the season was as simple as the color of the uniform. For my son's first tee-ball team, I journaled about his cool uniform and left out the fact that he didn't hit the ball past the pitcher or catch a single ball all season.
However, on his first soccer game of the season, he scored two goals on a pouring rainy day. He cried when his team lost, but again I focused on the positive, and journaled only about the goals.
Focus on the accomplishments
As children get older, there is more at stake. They can lose or not even make the team. When my son tried out for travel soccer, he was very nervous waiting for the results. Once they came, I definitely wanted to document this moment in his scrapbook. I used some photos from a soccer game that occurred around the same time, and told the story of his tryouts in my journaling.
Let the pros do it for you
As children get older, their game might get written up in the local paper. Likewise, if you attend a professional sporting event, you should be able to find articles about the game in newspapers or on the Internet. There is no reason why you can't copy these articles, or box scores, and use them in place of the journaling on your layout. In this framed layout about a World Series game that my son attended, I used a newspaper article and a box score to tell the story of the game.
If your children play sports at the high school or college level, using newspaper clippings is a great way to journal about the game and add extra mementos to your page.
Take the Voice of an Announcer
If you are looking for a creative approach to journaling, especially about a game with action or suspense, try taking the voice of an announcer. In this layout about a professional game that my son attended, I had watched the game on TV, and tried to narrate the layout as the announcer had narrated the game. Since my husband had taken pictures of the scoreboard, there was no need to include those details in my journaling.
Use Quotes
There are lots of great quotes about sports. If you are completely stumped and have no idea what to journal on your sports layout, try searching the Internet for an applicable quote. Yogi Berra and Vince Lombardi are particularly good sources of sports quotes, but there are plenty of other choices from famous players and coaches. Even William Shakespeare had things to say about sports.
I hope I have given you a few ideas of how to journal on your sports layouts, and remember: "It ain't over 'til it's over."

Don't just use Spybot to remove Win32, you need to do more than that. We had this and Spybot claimed to have removed it, but when I ran it again, there it was.
Google it and follow the instructions on Malaware site.
Most likely is keel slug damage followed by wireworm,using the entry made by the slug.
Almost impossible to get rid of. Our neighbour farmer has stopped growing potatoes commercially because of these underground dwelling pests.
Dig over and leave the soil exposed and hope the birds etc. eat the pests.
There is a case for actually placing this plant on the Banned list (like Japanese knotweed and Balsam). It is an awful thug.
Once saw someone coming out of a Garden Centre with three of them! Heaven help their neighbours.
Once it has started to wither then it is ok to remove the leaves. I also take off the flower heads as they seed everywhere.
Cicorium intybus as said.
When we moved here, we brought over 3,000 plants with us. We moved in October and by the middle of November, it froze and stayed frozen until March. We lost 90 percent of the plants as we could not plant them nor get them under cover. So ,Verdun, choose your moving time carefully.
Thought I ought to get some pictures before the thunderstorm (HAH!) flattens the plants,
Or maybe Greengage? Damson fruit tends to be longer rather than rounded like this.
This is interesting from the Plants for Future Website

The seed and leaves are poisonous, containing saponin-like substances, Although poisonous, saponins are poorly absorbed by the human body and so most pass through without harm. Saponins are quite bitter and can be found in many common foods such as some beans. They can be removed by carefully leaching the seed or flour in running water. Thorough cooking, and perhaps changing the cooking water once, will also normally remove most of them. However, it is not advisable to eat large quantities of food that contain saponins. Saponins are much more toxic to some creatures, such as fish, and hunting tribes have traditionally put large quantities of them in streams, lakes etc in order to stupefy or kill the fish
It can be an absolute thug, seeds everywhere and has toxic sap.

Skip to comments.Meteor showers to devastate planet Earth
Posted on 12/24/2004 7:39:29 PM PST by Red Badger
Someone in deep black space deliberately bombards the Earth with meteorites
Residents of Jakarta and two other neighboring Indonesian towns were frightened with a series of loud explosions on December 18th overnight. Western special services warned Jakarta of possible terrorists acts in the country on Christmas Eve. The police, however, did not find any destruction either in Jakarta, or near it. Local television channels reported that several people had seen some objects, possibly meteorites, falling down from the sky. There were no meteorites found in the area either.
The Indonesian Air Force confirmed the meteorite origin of the above-mentioned explosions in Jakarta: radars registered an unidentified flying object, which was falling down on the ground at a very high speed. Astronomers supported the space version too: they said that eyewitnesses had seen meteorites, not a crashed spacecraft.
The mystery of December blasts in Jakarta has not been unveiled yet. If it was really a large meteorite that fell into pieces and exploded in the Earth's atmosphere, one may say that it was not a "timely" meteorite at all.
December is the time of meteor showers, especially the Geminids and the Ursids. The Geminids light the night sky as they fly from the constellation of Gemini on December 14th. The mysterious explosions in Jakarta occurred on December 19th - it was too late for the Geminid meteor shower, as it had flown away already on December 17th. There is another meteor shower called Ursid - these meteorites are considered to be fragments of 8P/Tuttle comet, which, as scientists believe, neared Jupiter and exploded 600 years ago. December 19th was not a good date for the Ursids either, for they appear in the sky at night of December 22nd. If there was a meteorite in Jakarta, it must have been a very unusual meteorite.
As a rule, meteorites do not fall down on inhabited localities. They prefer to hit seas, lakes, fields and even the Antarctic. There can be exceptions from the rule, of course. A large meteorite blew up above the village of Boqate Ha Sofonia in Lesotho, South Africa, two years ago. The space rock burst into thousands of small fragments (400 of them were found afterwards) and showered down on village houses. One of the pieces flew into a kitchen window and burnt a plastic container there. Local residents had to experience the invasion of scientists later, who determined that the meteorite originally weighed about one ton. It was orbiting the Sun for 4.6 million years, until it broke into the Earth's atmosphere at the speed, which exceeded the sound speed 50-100 times.
A recent research showed that the number of meteorite collectors considerably increased owing to the Internet. It is noteworthy that the black market of meteorites has been very active in 2004. Meteorite trafficking and robbery has become much more frequent; the prices on space rocks started growing too. Lunar and Martian stones are especially expensive - the prices on them can reach $30,000 per gram, which is 3,000 times as expensive as gold.
Reports about meteorites falling down on Earth appear almost every week. A strange object was seen flying across the Australian sky shortly before the above-mentioned Jakarta meteor. Unusual luminescence and roaring sounds have recently been registered in the sky above several German towns. Scientists said that those phenomena had been caused with fragments of asteroids in the Earth's atmosphere.
Doctor Valeri Rudakov from the Institute of Earth's Physics believes that one should not underestimate the meteor danger. "Meteorites might cause considerable damage to our civilization. They can destroy enterprises, level electric power stations, not to mention nuclear power plants. In addition to it, meteorites can cause tremendous earthquakes and volcano eruptions," the scientist said.
Reports about meteorites appearing in the sky of planet Earth have become much more frequent indeed. It was generally believed before that small meteorites hit the Earth once in a hundred years whereas large meteorites, the Tunguska meteorite, for example, fall down on the planet once in a thousand years. It is clear now that it was a wrong assumption. One may recollect the large Vitimsky meteorite, which fell down two years ago in Siberia - it has become the second "gift" from space in 100 years. The need in space protection programs is becoming more obvious. Russian and American scientists were going to create a joint space interception system several years ago. The governments of the two countries, however, preferred not to assign any money for the program, and the question went into the background.
The international symposium dedicated to the asteroid security took place a week ago in Tenerife. Doctor Sergei Gusyakov represented Russia at the conference - the scientist took part in the mission to explore the phenomenon of the Vitimsky meteorite. "The pictures that we took in the Siberian woods in the north of the Irkutsk region produced a sensation. It became clear that it was a huge meteorite, which could have caused a monstrous devastation in Europe, for example," Gusyakov said. When the researcher returned home from the symposium, he was informed about another incident in the Irkutsk region: a large 10-ton celestial body fell down in the northern part of the region again.
Experts do not know why incidents with meteorites have become so frequent nowadays. One of the versions says that someone in deep black space deliberately bombards the Earth with meteorites.
Spacecraft Impactor is to collide with Tempel-1 comet on 4 July 2005. Flyby spaceship, which carries the Impactor to the target, will observe the first-ever collision between the man-made craft and the celestial body. The goal of the 300-million-dollar program called "Deep Impact" is to obtain the inner substance of the comet. Scientists believe that the comet substance will be the source of extremely important information about space, for the substance has remained unchanged since the time, when the Solar System was formed.
The Flyby spacecraft is to be launched on 28 January 2005. Impactor will fly to the comet at the speed of 37,000 kilometers per hour. Flyby's scientific equipment and telescopes of astronomic laboratories on Earth will analyze the cloud of the comet substance after the impact. It is not ruled out, though, that someone will wish to explore our planet with the help of such a barbaric method too.
Before we worried 'bout the Russkies and the Moon. But with Mars as a base, we can truly protect the planet..
So..... are we doomed?
Thunder thighs has the same effect in Chappaqua....
Geminid Meteor shower was last week. I suppose that was what the Chicken Littles saw.
Anything to save us from a second Clintoon administration. Plus, Edwards can try to sue God.
Most interesting.
I'm waiting for someone to blame this on the imperialist pigs of the USA.
"We're doomed-DOOMED!"
Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
For us 'quantum' types' this is a rather nitwit exclamation.
Well don't just do something, stand there!!!
There they go, blaming Rove again. Excuse me while I adjust my tinfoil hat. :)
oops sorry, I forgot the </i >
oops sorry, I forgot the </i >
"The Indonesian Air Force confirmed the meteorite origin ..."
Indonesian Air Force? What's that consist of? A few armed soldiers shot up in the air with a bungie cord?
Bush's fault...
Somebody set us up the bomb!!!
I saw something peculiar about a week ago (sorry I cannot be more precise) - a pulsing, flaring light source moving very rapidly in a northeasterly direction, trailing a very short-lived tail.
No, Pravda has turned into the Russian-language version of the National Star: no reality contact whatsoever. It's full of stories about monkey-women and space aliens and people rising from the dead.
Well, preferences change. Maybe the meteorites are experiencing a cultural shift and will now prefer the Artic, mosques and hotdog stands.
are we doomed?"
Yes,we are doomed.We're all going to die......someday.
In the latter days there will be signs in the sun the moon and the stars.
No problem. That was Bill Clinton's motorcade chasing a hot-looking babe in a red mustang.
I forget which is the correct meteor investment: is it gold? Or beans? Or toilet paper? Heavy equipment stocks?
Well just damn! Meteor showers do you say?
Here I thought there was global warming and it was Bush's fault because of Kyoto. Then it snowed in Pasadena today. Pasadena, Texas of all fricken places. The weather man said no, it wouldn't snow that far south. It must be an approaching ice age that they were predicting in the 1970's.
I wish they would make up their minds. Or quit smoking crack.
Ok, I know what is happening here. Global warming has caused this. It has created a huge vacuum in our atmosphere that is sucking the meteroites towards our planet. And of course this is Bushes fault for not signing Kyoto.
I saw about seven of them the night before the peak viewing time while I was driving through Louisiana. Pretty cool stuff.
Um, One cannot tell if you are being serious or facetious: how would having a 'base' multi-light-minutes away be of any use (other than an extra-planetary hole to piss billion$ into)?
Chicken Little was right.
You're lucky the cop didn't catch you.
It won't matter - after we are pummeled from deep space, the buyers will decrease, supply will be high, and obviously the value will go down in the process.
Don't invest in meteors.
But Pravada still hasn't started a page 3 girl....
Bump and thanks for the great articles you've posted this year!
All things considered, there ARE some things I could do without...
This whole article seems pretty stupid.
"Somebody set us up the bomb!!!"
What you say?!?!
A couple more "cosmic shooting gallery" posts.
In this one I love this comment:

"Kaisers Beach" East London by paradisedreamer
East London Travel Guide: 3 reviews and 8 photos
Kaisers beach is a small village south of East London on the East coast of South Africa (between Durban and Cape Town). I came here with my boyfriend for a holiday after I finished my final school exams. We stayed with his family at a friends holiday house there. It is a lovely unspoilt beach with a small village. The house we stayed in had no electricity so everything was run on gas. This made it all the more special as we could not watch TV in the evenings so it meant we had to find other ways to amuse ourselves - there weren't even any restaurants or bars. We spent the evenings chatting and playing cards. It was very relaxing.
Christmas dinner was mussels which we had pulled off the rocks ourselves early that morning.

This is the beach close to where we were staying. There undertow can be quite strong so it is best not to swim alone as... more travel advice
The dunes here are enormous. The beach is usually pretty much deserted and you will only see a handful of people fishing... more travel advice

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Alabama transportation officials say construction work is likely to cause traffic delays on Interstate 65 South in Montgomery this weekend.
A bridge widening project will cause I-65 southbound to be reduced to one lane from around 6 a.m. Saturday through midday Sunday. The state Department of Transportation says it is putting up signs to show motorists how they can avoid the construction by using U.S. 31 from the Millbrook-Prattville exit north of Montgomery to the Hope Hull exit south of Montgomery.
Motorists traveling south on I-65 to get to I-85 in Montgomery can use the North Boulevard exit to reach I-85 on the east side of the city.

Mechanistic slumber vs. statistical insomnia: the early history of Boltzmann's H-theorem (1868–1877)

An intricate, long, and occasionally heated debate surrounds Boltzmann's H-theorem (1872) and his combinatorial interpretation of the second law (1877). After almost a century of devoted and knowledgeable scholarship, there is still no agreement as to whether Boltzmann changed his view of the second law after Loschmidt's 1876 reversibility argument or whether he had already been holding a probabilistic conception for some years at that point. In this paper, I argue that there was no abrupt statistical turn. In the first part, I discuss the development of Boltzmann's research from 1868 to the formulation of the H-theorem. This reconstruction shows that Boltzmann adopted a pluralistic strategy based on the interplay between a kinetic and a combinatorial approach. Moreover, it shows that the extensive use of asymptotic conditions allowed Boltzmann to bracket the problem of exceptions. In the second part I suggest that both Loschmidt's challenge and Boltzmann's response to it did not concern the H-theorem. The close relation between the theorem and the reversibility argument is a consequence of later investigations on the subject.

Is my first time posting here, I do apologize if I post it in the wrong place so please bear with me. I have installed aioseo on my wordpress site and found out that the Home Title has been repeating itself on other pages. I've managed to solve this issue by removing the Site Title & Tagline from the General Settings. The repeated title have been removed but this | appears and I have no way to remove it (I'm a WP noob}.
To understand better, please go to http://www.levilleisuiteslaunch.com/leville-isuites-review/ and look at the Page Title which is like this: LeVille iSuites Review | <---
And if you look at the Enquiry Page, it has the same problem: Enquiry | Contact Us for more Information |
Is there a way to fix this?

Book of the Week: Kel Gilligan's Daredevil Stunt ShowJaime Morrison Curtis
This new book from Michael Buckley encourages kids to laugh at their fears and celebrates the bravery it takes to try new things no matter how ordinary. Narrated by Kel himself as he attempts his "stunts" with Evel Knievel—like flair, the story unfolds as a performance in which readers themselves become part of the audience, encouraging Kel to get dressed all by himself (without a net!), eat new foods like broccoli (eww!), and take a bath (gasp!). My daughter ADORES this book, I know your kids will too…

First post so please be kind.
Background Info
I'm searching for a fairly advanced solution to a Client Portal. Essentially the purpose of the client portal is to take television production companies to an individual page with a Quicktime embed. This allows the client to watch latest edits.
Sometimes the client companies have multiple projects being edited so each project needs it's own login details, as well as page. Some clients within the same company should only be able to see their own edits.
Currently I'm using WishList Member however this requires far too many complicated steps for the Post Production staff to be able to run on their own. I think the best option would be a front end upload page that would create the client user, password, page, upload and quicktime embed. This could be in the shape of a form.
1. Client must require login, which directs them straight to their Quicktime (QT) page.
2. Staff must be able to upload and create usernames/roles from ideally one page.
3. The uploaded QTs (always H.264 MOVs 705x405) must be able to be embedded within the page as a part of the upload process.
4. The client must only be able to see their own page and no others.
5. Staff must be able to delete old pages. (I can handle deleting media).
So that's the gist of it. Any questions do feel free to get in-touch either directly or via this thread. I'm also asking WishList about how to do this within their product.

Scarecrows have long held a traditional place in the gardens and at fall celebrations. This year, Holden's Goblins in the Gardens will again include a Scarecrow Row. Area area clubs, teams, classes, organizations and families will be creating scarecrows and competeting for your votes.
