NO IMPROMPTU cold showers, no pop star derrieres, not so much as a flying egg. Even with the generous array of targets at Tuesday night's Brits, including Cher, Cherie, Mo Mowlam and Whitney, the most controversial moment arrived when The Corrs were declared superior to REM and Bono said "bollocks".
The last two years' award ceremonies have seen the Deputy Prime Minister doused with the contents of an ice bucket by Chumbawamba's Danbert Nobacon, and Michael Jackson's ego bruised by the sight of Jarvis Cocker's behind. To avoid any further calamity, this year's event was so rigorously organised that every drop of atmosphere seemed to have been ushered out of the auditorium along with the hangers-on.
The difficulties that faced potential pranksters were manifold. First, they were up against a wall of security that would have made Parkhurst look like a holiday camp. At least two beefy men covered head to toe in gadgetry guarded each lamp-lit table. They seemed more concerned about errant celebrities than fans, since it took three of them to usher the pint-sized Kylie Minogue back to her place. To quell any political rallying, the New Labour contingent was seated well out of harm's way, though Boy George still entreated them to "leave our vegetables alone".
And would the audience have noticed anyway? Most of them seemed more concerned with who was scoffing the vol-au-vents than with who was winning prizes. The only real enthusiasm seemed to come from the competition-winners, who occasionally managed to outdo the canned applause with their squealing.
Johnny Vaughan did his best to spice up the proceedings, despite the fact that his carefully honed script had been stolen from his car the night before. His gentle ribbing sometimes bordered on rude, particularly when he hinted that Celine Dion resembled a certain part of a bus.
With teen acts dominating the charts, the organisers were clearly at a loss as to what to do with them all. A brainwave arrived in the form of an anodyne "Abba medley" in which Steps, B'witched, Billie and Cleopatra cavorted about the stage in panto outfits that were presumably intended to evoke the Seventies. Disappointingly, Boyzone got a slot to themselves as they grinned their way through Billy Ocean's "When the Going Gets Tough."
Some stars struggled to hide their disdain when they collected their prizes. As Fatboy Slim, aka Norman Cook, took the podium after being awarded the best dance act, he waved a piece of paper saying: "Speechless", and stalked off in silence. Desperate not to be upstaged, Robbie Williams later held up a sign saying: "Legless", as he picked up his second award.
But the evening was not without its emotional moments. Seeing Bono weaving his way between the tables to present an award to the former world heavyweight champion Mohammed Ali for his contribution to the Drop The Debt campaign brought a genuine lump to the throat. And Cher, jiggling to her techno-inspired "Do You Believe" and surrounded by lookalike dancers, was enough to make your eyes water.
The climax of the show was when Stevie Wonder joined the lifetime achievers Eurythmics to perform a hotch-potch of their Eighties hits. But despite their best efforts to look hip, Lennox and Stewart's Union Jack suits were no match for Ginger Spice's patriotic get-up of two years ago.

Add null-checks on 'mCCMap'

Just switch to nsFontGTK::SupportsChar(). It already has the null-check.

simple testcase for the Mac crash
You might have to reload the testcase to trigger the crash.
The GTK patch should probably be moved into another bug.
I can not reproduce this on windows. The stack jesse showed me seemed to indicate that some mac api was unable to deal with measuring too long words.
What surpriced me a lot though is that it made a difference if the node was a cdata node or a text node. That should never make a difference in which code paths we're executing.
Sorry, I was wrong; it crashes with a normal text node too. I'm not sure how I convinced myself that it had to be a CDATA node.
Created attachment 209775 [details]
simple testcase for the Mac crash
Same testcase without CDATA markers.
Do we need to get someone from Apple to look at the simple testcase and crash?
With the switch to Thebes/Cairo, we won't be using this Apple API at all, so maybe this crash will just go away (at least on trunk).
That won't happen on branch though, and given that this crashes due to a long string i get sort of worried about it being a buffer overrun.
It looks like the patch at bug 121540 solves this. But this is really odd, because bounding metrics measurement is one of the parts left almost untouched by that.
Josh, can you take this bug?
Fixed by the switch to cairo on Mac, as expected:
* Crashes a 2006-11-21 nightly.
* Does not crash a 2006-11-25 nightly.
* Does not crash fresh opt and debug builds.
Mats, please move your GTK patch to another bug if it is still needed.
(In reply to comment #20)
> Mats, please move your GTK patch to another bug if it is still needed.
It still crashes. I'm pretty sure it's gtk1 or xlib widget only.
It's a SEGV crash from a read. I'm not sure how much of a priority that is.
The bug seems to have changed from the last time (attachment 197271 [details])
The crash now occurs when calling CCMAP_HAS_CHAR_EXT(m,c) when 'c' is a
surrogate character and 'm' is 'gDoubleByteSpecialCharsCCMap' which comes
from a generated file ("dbyte_special_chars.ccmap"):
It could mean that the ccmap generator has a bug or CCMAP_HAS_CHAR_EXT
has bug, both are used on other (modern) platforms too I think.
Or maybe CCMAP_HAS_CHAR_EXT is just used inappropriately here:
(We crash on line 4122, with 'c' == 120793, which was assigned on line 4112
from aString[i]=55349 and aString[i+1]=57305.)
Some more debug data, for posterity:
gDoubleByteSpecialCharsCCMap c=120793 (0x1d7d9) (c)&0xffff0000 is true (0x10000)
extraSurrogateLength=1 , aString[i]=55349 aString[i+1]=57305
ALU_SIZE=32 CCMAP_SIZE(gDoubleByteSpecialCharsCCMap)=16361
(CCMAP_FLAG(m) & CCMAP_SURROGATE_FLAG) is true
CCMAP_PLANE(c) = 1
CCMAP_TO_PAGE((m),(c)) = 32
CCMAP_ALU_INDEX(c & 0xffff) = 6

CCMAP_BIT_INDEX(c & 0xffff) = 25

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
Maybe Talkback can enlighten us if this a problem on other platforms as well?
(analyzing consumers of SupportsChar() and CCMAP_HAS_CHAR_EXT)
Filed bug 365923 on the remaining problem described in comment 21.
The original unreduced testcase still crashes both FF220.127.116.11pre and FF220.127.116.11pre. Filed bug 366493 since the crash is nothing like the one fixed in this bug.
The reduced testcase still crashes Fx 22.214.171.124 (and I'd guess 188.8.131.52). I know that you filed bug 366493 on the original testcase, but should this bug be nominated as well for blocking?
Does the crash look like 366493? Does it match the apple stack traces in this bug? If neither we probably need a new bug.

> Fixed by the switch to cairo on Mac, as expected:
Which is great for the trunk, but leaves an sg:critical bug on the branch. Still need a patch.
I don't know much of anything about our font code, and unfortunately the people who wrote that code are no longer around. I'll take a look or try to find someone better suited for this bug.
Won't this potentially exploitable crash affect branch-based Camino as well? Maybe someone on the Camino team has the font expertise we need. Guess it's not likely to make this set of releases, though -- moving out.

No domain knowledge needed, as it turns out. This is just a simple smasher from what looks like a copy-and-paste bug; Rect is 8 bytes, Fixed is 4, so the rects array was half the length it needed to be.

Crashtest is in: gfx/src/mac/crashtests/306902-1.xml
Jesse, was your crashtest supposed to land in gfx/src/mac on trunk? Just wondering because I thought gfx/src/mac was going away (bug 376791).
That's where the patch was. Want me to move the test to gfx/src/thebes/ or something?
I can't judge if it still makes sense to keep this test but if so then gfx/src/thebes/ is probably a good location.
Test moved.

Better than the alturnative
The lamp came with all the bulbs which was nice. Also, the finish was good. It scratches easily, but arrived in perfect condition. There are nicer lamps, but this seemed to be a good compromise of value and look. I was worried about the cheap stuff often finds its way to the low price stuff that photographs well.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The finish was good
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Overall quality was good
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Quality is always an issue, but this was better than expected

What the cluck? Kid plays basketball with a live chicken
We'd file this in the "videos that cannot be explained" section if we had one. Watch this shirtless hoopster score a basket with a chicken. "He spins, he drives, he shoots, he scores!" So awesome and we're oh so happy he didn't dribble, so we'll overlook the traveling. Some might be tempted to call foul for violating animal rights, but it actually looks like this bird is having a pretty good time. And he's got a seriously good grasp of the rules of the game, swishing right through the net before flapping away so this kid can enjoy his moment in the virtual spotlight.
Not sure the chicken was a willing participant. haha

For the BIRDS: Eagle update
Raptor Resource Project
~ Videos of The Decorah Eagles from June 27th through 29th ~
There are three (3) videos in this post. Today's screen capture features D15 in Hey MOM, NO fair! Youre supposed to screee for ALL of us when its meal time. D16 is on the nest eating a fish that Mom brought in, and D15 is flying in, hoping to get part of the fish.
Many thanks to Jim for making the videos for us, which allows me to get the screen captures to post for you!
6-27 (Fly-ins and fly-outs, misjudged landing at about 3:38 into the video)- Dad lands on the nest with a fish, none of the fledglings are there (yet), and we can tell that Dad is looking around and checking out what repairs will be needed on the nest in the fall. D15 lands on the nest at 25 seconds into the video and mantles over the fish. The scene changes and Dad takes off. D15 stays on the nest for a while looking around and then flies off the nest to the right. At 1:46 into the video D16 lands on the nest, the scene changes and D16 flies back off. At 2:14 into the video D16 lands on the nest again, digs for nestovers, gets dive-bombed by a black bird at 2:27, climbs the tree trunk, comes right back down and then flies off the nest at 2:58. At 3:08 into the video D17 lands on the nest, climbs the tree trunk and disappears at the top. Start watching the bottom of the video closely at about 3:36 and you can tell we have a fledgling that misjudges a landing on the nest and ends up perched on an outer, lower branch, of the nest. The fledgling flaps away maintaining its balance, and remains perched down below the nest in between flapping. At 5:43 into the video Mom lands on the nest with a fish drop. Shortly after Mom lands, so does D16 who mantles and then proceeds to tear and eat the fish. At 6:45 D16 flies off the nest on the left side. At 6:56 into the video D17 lands on the nest, and then climbs up the tree trunk to the upper part of the tree out of view. At 7:34 into the video we see D15 flying in from the bottom left, and then D15 lands on the nest. At 8:06 into the video D15 flies off to the right side. At 8:17 into the video D16 lands on the nest. At 8:38 D15 lands on the nest and joins D16, stays for a bit and then takes back off. D16 climbs up the tree trunk, perches for a bit, and then disappears into the upper part of the tree. At 11:00 into the video we can see that D16 moving around in the upper part of the tree. The scene changes, and at 11:20 into the video we see D16 land on the upper left branch and perch there. D16 moves over farther to the left with only its tail feathers in view. At 14:10 we can tell that D16 flew off the branch as we see the branch moving from a take-off. Its been a busy day for the fledglings as they continue to fly around and explore, and then return back to their nest off and on.
#90636 Jul 3, 2013
6-28 (Visits to the nest, D16 arrives at 2:00pm, rests and practices, and leaves at 5:00pm)- Its obvious our fledglings are perfecting their landings. What beautiful fly-in and landing D16 shows us. D16 looks around, and then climbs the tree trunk to the upper part of the tree. The scene changes and we see some upper tree activity. These fledglings love vertical branching in this tree, and they seem to have created their own northern runway off of the cottonwood. Another scene change and we see another fly-in, and fly-out. At 2:22 into the video Mom lands on the nest. Mom looks around as if she is totally surprised that none of the three fledglings had chased her there with food. That no-mantle zone for Mom ends quickly because at 2:43 into the video we see Mom look up as D16 flies down from above over to the right, circle around, and then make a spectacular landing on the nest at 2:57 and then mantle for the fish. At 3:11 into the video we see a fledgling circle below the nest (dont blink), and at 3:27 we see D15 land on the nest and try to mantle for the fish. Mom flies off at 3:41 and we have two fledglings still on the nest. At 4:33 into the video D15 flies off of the nest and D16 stays on the nest tearing and eating a fish. D16 remains on the nest for quite some time (from 2:00pm to 5:00pm), and lays down for a rest. D16 climbs the tree trunk at 7:19 into the video, perches there for a bit, and then we see D16 climb farther above on the branch and begin to wingercize, and D16 lands back down on the nest at 8:03. D16 displays a very large wingspan and does some hovers in the wind while practicing wing flapping on the nest combined with some screeeing also. Calling for fast food delivery? At 10:05 into the video D16 does a lengthy hover on the nest. The scene changes, D16 is screeeing and then D16 flies off of the nest.
#90637 Jul 3, 2013
6-29 (Rain, juvie arrives at 1:00pm, a second arrives 10 minutes later, slow day in the nest)- We can see that its pouring rain in Decorah. The scene changes, the rain has let up and D16 lands on the nest at 18 seconds into the video. Then D17 lands on the nest at 48 seconds into the video and we see wings up in the air between them as they each display a bit of sibling rivalry. Or would that be wing-battle for nest position? The situation calms down and D17 flies off of the nest at 1:34 into the video. The scene changes, none of the fledglings are on the nest and at 1:46 into the video D16 lands back on the nest. At 2:10 into the video D16 climbs the tree trunk and disappears from our view. The scene changes, and at 2:28 into the video we see D17 land, and then climb the tree trunk. The rain starts coming down hard again and we catch brief glimpses of D17s wings on the edge of the upper branch. At 3:13 into the video you can still see D17 moving around above. It was a rainy day and a slow day in the nest.

Lol. Hey, I'm not one to spend money on something I immediately use up.(Exceptions: fuel and toilet paper! Lol). But I do enjoy sitting around with neighbors watching the show. A couple of neighbors put on fireworks extravaganzas ( one even hires it professionally done) and I do drop some real money into the "fireworks donation box". Their crowds of about a hundred are lots better than the thousands that show up down along the river...but , oh, the weekly fireworks show on Waikiki beach...I'd love to be there EVERY Friday night! Lol
Good Morning all! I've already opened up the chicken shed this cool misty morning. A couple of the hens were so eager to be outside but then there were a few that wanted to snuggle in for a little longer! That's okay..I'm a cool morning bed snuggler myself...
Next I pulled the rowboat up out of the water to drain yesterday's rain accumulation so that I can take my young visitor for a boat ride on a farm pond before she heads back to the city.
It's going to be a great day!

– Here's a link to this week's show on Hulu Plus. If you're too cheap to drop $8 a month to watch the best wrestling TV show in the world, at least find it on Daily Motion. ESPECIALLY this week.

– This is the first taping from the set of tapings I attended live, so if you hear somebody yelling something about how much they hate Corey Graves, that's me. Sorry. I'm kinda loud.
Please click through for the Best and Worst of WWE NXT for July 31, 2013.
Worst: Welp, I Guess We're Starting Off This Week's Show With Mason Ryan Dancing
The opening segment of the first NXT show in a set of tapings that includes Sami Zayn vs. Antonio Cesaro having a 2-out-of-3 falls Match Of The Year is Enzo Amore announcing a dance contest, Tons of Funk showing up randomly to beat them up and dance and Mason Ryan pulling a Rikishi. This was the first thing I saw at my first-ever live NXT show. For a moment, I thought I was having Nam flashbacks about Raw.
The good news about NXT is that even the bad stuff isn't so bad, because it doesn't have years and years of horrible memories attached to it to justify pessimism. On Raw they can do something positive, like have Daniel Bryan main-eventing, and there's still this creeping feeling that Stephanie McMahon and Triple H are gonna show up to give him a makeover. On NXT, Brodus Clay beats up a developmental guy and dances and it's not great, but at least he's gone quickly and you don't see him again for 3.8 shows.
Best: SAWFT
I thought BADABOOM, REALEST GUY IN THE ROOM was going to be the defining Enzo Amore catchphrase, but nope, it's S-A-W-F-T. Sawwwwwft!
I'm not sold on Amore as a wrestler yet, but God, that dude is a catchphrase machine. He's almost horrible on the microphone, but it's that purposeful kind of horrible that lets you know he's doing it intentionally. SAWFT works because it (1) allows the crowd to demean a wrestler of their choosing a la the "what" chants with a succinct, easily heard shout-word — see the Tyler Breeze promo, where random people start yelling SAWFT to let the video screen know what they think of him — and (2) it makes wrestling fans sound like the seagulls from Finding Nemo. SAWFT, SAWFT, SAWFT
Worst/Best: A Dance Contest To Set Up Another Dance Contest (But At Least It's Full Of People I Like)
As a rule, I do not like dance contests. LOOK AT THE FUNNY DANCING has never done it for me, especially when funny dancing is used to determine title shots or whatever like it is here.
That said, a bad wrestling segment can be made wonderful by upping the talent of the people in it, so when Emma and Dusty Rhodes are in the same place at the same time, wonders happen. There's a lot of good and bad to this dance-off storyline (which I'll get to in later weeks as it plays out), but seriously, here are three GIFs to concisely explain what I'm talking about.
1. Summer Rae thinks it's stupid that Emma gets title shots and wants to make fun of her dancing. Summer, however, is a master of dance, so she can't do the Emma dance properly and looks like she's doggypaddling.
2. Emma proves her dancing ability by doing The Cabbage Patch. She is super, super hot. And then DUSTY RHODES STARTS DOING THE CABBAGE PATCH WITH HER TO THE DISMAY OF EVERYONE ELSE.
3. Dusty thinks Summer's idea of a dance contest is stupid, but he also thinks it'd be kinda entertaining and funny, because Dusty Rhodes understands wrestling fans better than anybody in wrestling and is allowed to be honest. The GM knowing it's a sorta bad idea but going with it anyway works when they're just being upfront about it. Also, when they're likable wrestling legends.
Oh, right, the third GIF. Emma dances away with Dusty and the camera lingers just long enough to catch Summer Rae corpsing her ass off. This is probably the most I've ever liked Summer Rae.

Best: Charlotte's Chops
If you read last week's column, you were privy to the surprisingly awesome debut of Ric Flair's daughter "Charlotte." That continues this week, with Charlotte taking Sasha Banks to the woodshed with a combination of gymnastics flips, creative offense and brutal chops.
Jump to the very end of that video. If you need proof that Charlotte's the Flair kid who got the wrestling ability, listen to that pop across the chest. She's got it. Remember David Flair trying to throw strikes? Here, I'll remind you. It was the worst thing in human history. Worse than famine.
What's weird is that the NXT crew of Divas are so well-trained and get such a comfortable place to perform that they're already head and shoulders above the ladies on the USA network. In a perfect world, Sara Del Rey keeps Charlotte, Paige, Emma, Summer and whoever else in developmental for another two years, axe kicks them until they're fighting like joshis, then unleashes them on the unsuspecting WWE Universe.
Uh, who'll probably chant "we want puppies" at them. But still, at least I'd be happy.
Best: Everything About This, Not Counting CJ Parker
This is my motherf**ker right here.
It's hard for me to explain why I like Tyler Breeze so much, but this Jason Schwartzman thing he does with Renee sorta speaks for itself. So many gems here.
– Taking FOUR ATTEMPTS to find the proper adjective for a debut Renee's already called "magnanimous."
– A solid minute of improv about how he's gorgeous while CJ Parker acts like an asshole in the background
– HIS VOICE. He almost sounds like Eugene Levy describing Crabtown in A Mighty Wind
– "Do you feel that? I think we're done here."
– "You just stay being … you, and I'll just stay being me. Tyler Breeze."
– "Tyler Breeze has left the building." The best part of this is that he had a match shortly after that, so Byron Saxton had to stand in the ring "getting a message from backstage" that was ultimately "Tyler Breeze has re-entered the building."
Also important: all of Kassius Ohno's parts in the NXT open have been replaced by Tyler Breeze clips. I'm not sure how to feel about that, so I'm gonna lean toward the positives of "Tyler Breeze is in the open" and shy away from the colossal negatives of "WWE is Taeler Hendrixing Chris Hero."

Janet Nguyen: Feds OK making O.C. bus riders collateral damage
The federal Labor Department is withholding $114 million in grants designated for the Orange County Transportation Authority's capital programs, operations and purchasing. The delay stems from questions that have been raised by the federal government regarding Gov. Jerry Brown's pension-reform law, which they claim may violate collective bargaining rights of union workers.
This is not the first time the federal government has allowed union influence to stand in the way of attempts to reign in the huge pension obligations that government agencies have accrued.
Since 2010, my colleagues on the Orange County Board of Supervisors and I have worked tirelessly to make serious reforms to Orange County's pension problem. We've made notable headway but the federal government continues to stand in the way of the significant changes necessary for chipping away at our growing unfunded liability.
With the support of our local unions, we created a "hybrid" plan that allows new employees to voluntarily elect coverage under a lower cost plan which was passed by the state Legislature. While this hybrid plan has saved taxpayers approximately $1,045,800 since its implementation, we sought to go even further by allowing current employees to opt down into this lower cost plan. By allowing current employees to opt down, the county can save an additional $8,389,000 million per year according to our budget projections that assume 50 percent of the county's workforce opts down. Unfortunately, the federal government questioned the impact it would have on union workers despite the fact that our very own union supports it.
In the past three years, former Supervisor Bill Campbell and I have traveled to Washington, D.C., multiple times to lobby the federal government to issue an official guidance on the component of our hybrid plan that allows current employees to opt down. All efforts have thus far proven futile.
The questions surrounding Brown's pension-reform law have resulted in $114 million in federal withholdings to transportation, a collateral damage that OCTA can't afford to withstand.
Without these federal dollars, OCTA has already had to postpone the planned replacement of nearly 200 buses. If the freeze continues, OCTA will be forced to consider reductions in employee salaries and even layoffs, as well as cutting services to riders. Since 40 percent of OCTA's bus ridership comes from the First Supervisorial District that I represent, a reduction in services has the greatest impact on my constituents.
The federal government needs to be careful when choosing to put its unions above all else, because they may end up hurting the very people they're trying to protect in the first place.
Janet Nguyen is Orange County supervisor from the First District. She is also a member of the OCTA Board of Directors.

Some things you suspect, some things you guess at and some things you just know.
Identifying the old Bear as "legendary coach Mike Ditka" fits the definition of fake news.
Neither the mystery of Tom Brady's missing jersey nor the disappearance of the Falcons from the Super Bowl is half as baffling as Lady Gaga.
The line forming to take quarterback Jay Cutler off the Bears' hands stretches all the way from Cutler's scowl to the end of his nose.
As for the Bears, replacing Cutler with either Jimmy Garoppolo or Tony Romo would be the same as swapping a used car for a rental.

The Cavaliers showed something on Saturday that was missing for most of the first 32 games -- an ability to fight back.
Anytime the Cavs fall behind by double figures this season, it usually means a loss. This one was no different, except that it was. The Cavs trailed the Bulls by 15 entering the fourth quarter, but kept fighting and kept chipping. By the time Antawn Jamison completed a three-point play, that 15-point deficit had been trimmed to three with 2:48 remaining.
Ultimately, the Cavs couldn't get that final push to tie the game or regain the lead. But this is a team that has rallied from a double-digit deficit to win just three times this season: opening night against Boston, on Nov. 24 against Milwaukee and three nights later against Memphis.
Maybe that shouldn't be a shock, since this team only has eight victories in all. But typically a 10 or 12 point deficit seems to be the point of no return for this team, particularly against quality opponents. This time, they gave a very good Bulls team more than they were expecting under the circumstances.
Now the question is how long it will be until Mo Williams and Daniel Gibson can return. Gibson seems a bit closer than Williams, but that might be splitting hairs at this point. As for Anderson Varejao, he can't be fitted for a mask until the swelling goes down in his face. That has yet to happen.
Ultimately, it's loss No. 25 in 33 games. But strangely, when most teams might be tired of trying, the Cavs seem to be giving more effort the worse this gets. Unfortunately, they just don't have anything to show for it yet.
J.J. Hickson 21 points, eight rebounds
Antawn Jamison 19 points, nine rebounds
Leon Powe 14 points, six rebounds
Manny Harris 11 points, three assists
Ramon Sessions 13 points, six rebounds, three assists
Derrick Rose 28 points, 11 assists
Luol Deng 23 points, four rebounds
Carlos Boozer 20 points, 11 rebounds
Turning point
The Bulls attacked the basket in the third quarter and outscored the Cavs 32-9 to turn a 61-53 halftime deficit into an 85-70 lead and command of the game entering the fourth.
Key stat
The Cavs shot 3 of 21 from the floor in the third quarter and went nearly seven minutes without a field goal.
They said it
"I thought they came out a little upset the way they played the first half and we came out happy with the way we played. They took it to us and we have to react to it a lot better than what we did."
Up next
The Cavs (8-25) host the Dallas Mavericks at 7 p.m. on Sunday.

After such a busy summer Wade and I gave ourselves two vacations this August! I think we deserved it!
First, we traveled to one of our favorite places; Breckenridge, Colorado. We've been there a bunch of times before and it never gets old. The summer and winter are totally different experiences and we love them both. This year our friends organized a long weekend trip so we eagerly joined in on the fun! I love friend trips, they're the best.
The whole crew is pictured above and the guys being weird below.
The first day we took the lifts to the top of the mountain and went hiking. It was strange to be on a ski lift in the summer, I don't think I'd ever been on one when everything wasn't covered in snow before. It was still serene and beautiful, just in a whole different way.
The first hiking trail was pretty easy, it was kind of like walking around a meadow with a great view.
The second trail we took was a little more difficult and those of us who apparently need a little more cardio in our lives (ahem, myself) were huffing and puffing.
This is when Wade decided he'd climb the bowl. It might not look that bad, but trust me it was steep. Can you spot him on the mountain?
And then Zach joined in on the fun. See the two little dots at the top? That would be Wade and Zach.
We only had two full days in Breckenridge so on the second (and last) day some of us decided to go white water rafting! It was awesome and we had a great time! Most of the people had never been before and we did a class 4+ (out of 5), so if we can do it anyone can!
Now doesn't that look like fun? Just look at everyone's smiling faces.
And then sadly, the weekend was over just as fast as it began!
Don't be too sad though, 2 weeks later Wade and I went on another vacation! This time to Orlando, and most importantly, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I just love Harry Potter; I started reading the books back in middle school and have been obsessed ever since. So naturally, as a late 20 something year old, I absolutely had to visit the theme parks.
I definitely nerd-ed out while at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter so if you haven't read the books or seen the movies then sorry, you probably won't understand many pictures I'm about to show you. Better yet, you should just watch all the movies then come back to the blog. You'll get it then. :)
A little quick explanation: we did do other things besides just visit Harry, I just didn't feel the need to photograph most of it. The Harry Potter parks are inside the two Universal Studios parks so there are tons of other rides and things as well. It definitely did not take up the full 3 days we were there just to see the Harry Potter parks. We did lots and lots of other things too!
Now on to the good stuff, the Harry Potter pictures!
We started off at the new park, Diagon Alley. It's a fantastic replica and I was just so happy being there. I felt like a giddy 12 year old.
First thing we rode the Escape From Gringotts then we strolled around Diagon Alley.
I made Wade take a picture with me on Hagrid's motorcycle.
My smile is real, his is probably fake because he wasn't too excited about this, haha.
Then it was time for Butterbeer! Wade had the regular and I had the frozen. I can still taste it, it was so yummy! (Imagine cream soda with a hint of butterscotch)
Next we walked around "London" outside of Diagon Alley...
...just calling the ministry and such...
...and we found Number 12 Grimmauld Place!
Then it was time for the Leaky Cauldron for lunch. I was still really excited to be there if you can't tell.
After lunch we did some other Universal stuff like Transformers, Shrek, Minion Mayhem, The Mummy, etc.
On the second day we started out at Hogmeade, the other Harry Potter park. I absolutely loved it. It was exactly how I would have pictured it.
We had early park admission if you're wondering why the place looks deserted. It was so awesome practically having the place to ourselves!
And there she is, Hogwarts! Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey (the ride inside the castle) was my favorite ride by far; I think we rode it like 7 or 8 times.
Then we did some shopping around the town.
First stop was Honeydukes. We bought 5 packages of candy for around $50. Darn theme park prices. We got some Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans, a Chocolate Frog, some Fizzing Wizbees, Exploding Bon Bons, and some Peppermint Frogs. Loved it.
Then we did a little wand shopping and Grindelwald's.
We had lunch at the Three Broomsticks and some more butterbeer.
After lunch we did other park stuff including one of the only pictures I took anywhere other than Harry Potter...Jurassic Park! Ah!
The last day we started off at Diagon Alley again in the morning and had our breakfast Butterbeer and Pumpkin Juices, yummm.
We scoped out the Knight Bus...
...then I bought the most powerful wand in existence, the Elder Wand, because I'm cool like that.
And that was the end of our Diagon Alley experience. Next, we ventured through platform 9 3/4 and took the Hogwarts Express back over to Hogsmeade.
We got to see the castle one last time and rode the Forbidden Journey like 3 more times.
I was so happy we decided to do this trip (1) as adults and (2) pre-kiddos. We had so much fun being kids ourselves, I love love loved it!!
Whew this was a long post. Now it's back to work, boo!

This review is from: Archos - 70 Internet Tablet - 8GB Running Google ANDROID + Wi-Fi (501582)
Pros: *Flat and light - fits in my jeans back pocket
*no Objective C running on this thing
Cons: *Had to install ArcTools to get the Android market working (no rooting necessary) - Archos market was not legitimate for me
*No Hulu support as of yet, and its not really worth my time to hack it
*Its the outdated Android
*HDMI initial connection was flaky during the short time I tried it out, but it could be the Visio TV
Other Thoughts: More of a toy than a computer
I will use it like an eReader
It looks like a big cell phone
I probably won't use it that much, but time will tell
If you want a tablet computer the Acer Iconia W500 is a bargain
This review is from: Nippon Labs EN-25SATA-UDOCK Aluminum 2.5" SATA USB 2.0 External Enclosure with U-Dock
Pros: Dock
Blue LED
Cons: Caused bad indexes on my Western Digital, when I put it into my desktop chkdsk fixed it (thank goodness).
Works intermittently.
There website is under construction... still... months later. Maybe they're busy fixing buggy SATA controllers?- just don't know.
Other Thoughts: I would not use this as a backup as when I needed the backup it got hosed. Spend a couple more dollars backing up your important data! Definitely a bad experience with this company.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: AZiO BTD-V201 USB 2.0 Micro Bluetooth Adapter
Pros: Well I have to say I am impressed using this at about 200+ feet through a wall! Of course I tested this with another Class 1 Bluetooth Module, a surface mount module- model number RN-41-SM configured for 20 dBm (maximum) output power.
This installs automatically in under one minute using M$ Bluetooth Drivers on Windows 7 x64.
Cons: its made in china but what isnt these days
Other Thoughts: I now have an excuse to build a Bluetooth remote control helicopter, seeing as the range on this connected to my laptop will be much better than my phone.
The long range was a good improvement over the cirago BTA-3210 Class 2 BT dongle, which also works great with good range.
In order to get the range spec of your device: use class 1 devices with other class 1 devices, like how wireless n routers should be used with wireless n adapters to get the specified range and throughput. Alternatively said don't expect 100 meter range if you're using a class 2 device at either end!
