I mentioned before that I am competing in the Designer Darling Competition over at Stuff to Scrap. I love the pressure of competitions and find I do some of my best work when I am down to the wire. I intend to enter as many as I am eligible for this year just to harness the creative high they create in me. Of course, winning one or more would be fabulous too!
Week One of this particular contest was fairly open. The contest administrators provided a color palette and let us loose. After a few days of planning, I decided to go all lovey-dovey with this kit. (Also, I was listening to the Wayne's World soundtrack again and Eric Clapton sang "Loving Your Lovin'" in my head all week.) I am making this kit available to you for the duration of the contest and then it goes into my store [crosses fingers and says "stores," with an "s"]. I hope you like it!
Download Link: Loving Your Lovin' (available for a limited time)
Update 1 February 2011: The download link for this kit has been disabled. Please look for this kit in my store in the near future.
"But wait, there's more!" she says in her best infomercial voice. I put together a coordinating alphabet which I am making available exclusively to my Twitter and Facebook followers. Follow me on Twitter or Facebook [emphasis on Twitter because I love Twitter and spend a lot of time on Twitter tweeting things on Twitter because Twitter is all kinds of awesome] and I'll send you the link. Easy peasy!
And be sure to check back soon to see what happens next week!

Vampiring is quite the lucrative business. "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1" raked in an unbelievable $140 million during its opening weekend. This is the third highest opening weekend trailing only "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" ($169 million) and "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" ($142 million).
Coming in a distant second, and with a disappointing take of only $22 million, was the animated penguin film "Happy Feet Two." By way of comparison, "Happy Feet" collected nearly $42 million on its opening weekend.
Rounding out the top five were "Immortals" ($12.2 million), "Jack and Jill" ($12 million) and "Puss in Boots" ($10.7 million).
But the weekend was all about Bella and Edward. As if the $140 million domestic take wasn't enough, The Wrap is reporting it brought in an additional $144 million internationally.

Four years ago, on a bright, cold Jan. 20, Barack Obama took his first oath of office as president and proclaimed a new post-partisan era. "The stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply," the Obama of 2009 said.
The second four years of a two-term president's tenure are always different from the first, but it's hard to overstate how different Obama's second term feels. He has most of the same goals and many of the same aides, but in strategy and style, the change is dramatic.
Obama learned at least three important lessons from his difficult first term, and they have reshaped his approach to the office.
Lesson one: Confrontation sometimes works better than conciliation.
At the start of his presidency, Obama hoped to be a bridge builder. But over the last two months, he's been more of a bridge burner.
He's told Republicans in Congress that he flatly refuses to negotiate over the debt ceiling, and warned that if a showdown over the issue damages the economy, it will be on their heads.
He's dared them, as well, to shut down the federal government. "That's their prerogative," he said last week.
He's excoriated House conservatives in unfair, exaggerated terms as opponents of Social Security and Medicare. He's advocated new gun control legislation that he knew Republicans would oppose. And he's ignored GOP opposition to his nominees for secretary of Defense and Treasury.
A new strategy
The new, combative strategy is in part the product of a theory Obama and his aides have enunciated several times: that to get anything done in Washington this year, they first need to (in their words) "break the fever" in the GOP and convince Republicans that refusal to compromise will lead them to political ruin.
"We've got to break the habit of negotiating through crisis over and over again," Obama said last week. "And now's as good a time as any."
Lesson two: Obama's a great campaigner but not always a great negotiator, so use him as Mr. Outside, not Mr. Inside.
The polite version of this lesson is that, from now on, the president will spend more time enlisting ordinary voters in his battles — over the debt ceiling, gun control and everything else.
"You need to involve the American people in the discussion," his chief campaign strategist, David Axelrod, said last year. "It can't just be an inside game."
But it's also a reflection of an unwelcome discovery. When Obama tried to negotiate a grand bargain with House Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, in 2011, not only did the talks collapse, the failure dropped the president's popularity to the lowest point of his tenure.
From now on, negotiations with Republicans in Congress are more likely to be handled by Vice President Joe Biden — Mr. Inside, if you will — while Obama rallies public pressure on the outside.
Campaign strategy
That's why last week's announcement that Obama is turning his presidential campaign into a permanent network called Organizing for Action was important. The new group could give the president a mechanism for mobilizing supporters behind his priorities during the second term. A similar attempt didn't work in the first term, largely because the major legislation Obama sought then - an economic stimulus bill, a health-care law and Wall Street reform - had to be negotiated through the "inside game" among interest groups.
Lesson three: Don't get over-ambitious.
In 2009, Obama began his first term with a huge electoral mandate and Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress. He also faced an economic crisis that demanded action. Following the advice of his chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel — that a crisis shouldn't be wasted — the new president aimed high with an agenda that included not only a $787-billion economic stimulus package but also health care and financial reform, and new legislation on immigration, education and climate change.
The last part of that to-do list stalled after Republicans won a majority in the House and vowed not merely to block any new Obama initiatives but to reverse what had already been passed.
Reduced expectations
This time, the president has trimmed his expectations.
"I don't presume that because I won an election, that everybody suddenly agrees with me on everything," he said in November. "I'm more than familiar with all the literature about presidential overreach in second terms." He has said he will pursue deficit reduction, tax reform, infrastructure spending, immigration reform and gun control. But it's not yet clear how much new legislation he can get through the GOP-held House.
The Obama who took his second oath of office on Sunday is the same man he was four years ago, but he's a very different politician.

Nike, who has long been considered a pioneer of advertising, has a new commercial. But instead of featuring a ripped athlete or swanky pair of shoes, it's a long shot of an overweight 12-year-old kid from Ohio, jogging down a rural road. The message? That anyone can achieve personal greatness. How do you feel about it?
Part of their "Find Your Greatness" campaign, which highlights real people and offers an alternative to the Olympics madness, the ad is simply called "Jogger," and features Nathan, who is 12, exercising by himself.
My initial feeling was that I was really inspired by the use of a real person who was trying to improve his life/health with a jog. And after watching it a few times, I'm pretty sure I just love this ad. I love Nathan. I hope he runs until he feels awesome about himself. I hope he inspires other kids to run.
But a quick check of the comments section on YouTube (I know, who does that? Me. I do that. Because I am a glutton for human cruelty and curious spelling choices, apparently), shows that there are definitely some different responses. One commenter called it exploitation. Is it? Or is it really awesome and some people will think anything is exploitative? Are the people who don't like it just the kind of people who don't like anything, or is this something that more people are taking issue with?
Readers, watch the video and then take our poll to let us know what you think about this Nike ad. I'm curious to see what other peoples' reactions are.
Sorry! This poll is now closed.

Thanks for the depend.
48 comments:
Listen, I nearly get my hair caught in the machine on a daily basis; but that's because I'm nearly 50, have extreme near sightedness, and long bangs. (Not a good combination, generally speaking).
Your son's flair reminds me of my oldest son's equal ability for entrepeneurship in his teen years! :)Hmmm, I wish my machine would sew around corners!! And is his hair long behind that guitar - I'm impressed he managed to get it stuck in your sewing machine - perhaps next time he could thread some strands through the machine and sew with "natural fibres"!!
Thanks for sharing (and I hope Blogger stops giving you the irrits with its annoying spacing).Hmm possibly saying to teachers, "Want me to toast your sandwiches," in a suggestive way might be why the toaster was confiscated. Still, he could threaten to sue for theft...unless they asked him nicely for said toaster.
Possibly he's better with a toaster than a sewing machine, still at least he's free entertainment for his long-suffering mum!!
I am teaching myself to (sort of) knit... was highly impressed at doing a whole first row... now not sure how to do next row, but that's for tonight... I am so glad you're not here, you'd be helpless with giggles!!!...ahem as indeed was I last night at loops slipping off needles despite threats!!! Still, knitting, how cool is that?!!hilarious! Glad you could also see the comedy, mum. My 14 year old son started sewing class at school this week. When I put on my new linen apron (made by me, thank you very much), my daughter sighed and said "I just love your new apron, Mom" and without missing a beat, big brother piped up with "well, you haven't seen the wicket apron I'm gonna make in sewing yet!". Time will tell.....incidentally, he's using a very cool "Rock guitar" damask print, I think by Michael Miller.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for my morning giggle!!!! Funny how most teenagers are the same, we also have an oracle living in our home that knows EVERYTHING!!!! Last year when he was in year 12 their sandwich toaster was confiscated as they never cleaned it so they used the microwave to melt the cheese on their sandwiches and wondered why that went too!!!!

I know things have been quiet around here for the past few weeks, so I would love to update you on our life and the future of Simple Savings Mom. I began Simple Savings Mom last fall as an outlet to share about how couponing was significantly changing our finances. Little did I know what I was getting myself into. I quickly became aware of the fact that I had a lot to learn about blogging. In the late fall, I came across information about The Savvy Blogging Dinner and I knew that was where I needed to be! Needless to say, it was a night to remember! To get a picture of the events from that night I wanted to share this Savvy Blogging video.
One of the hosts from that evening was Andrea Deckard from MommySnacks. Andrea and I did not connect however, until a couple of months later concerning a guest post opportunity about debt reduction and couponing. I had already been tracking our debt reduction story here on Simple Savings Mom since last December. The posts have ended up being a series on MommySnacks, you can read Part 1: Broken Beginnings and Part 2: Trying To Fix What Was Broken. The final post will be published very soon! As we coordinated over the guest posts, we discussed the possibility of me assisting her with MommySnacks and the growing needs she had. I was amazed and thrilled at this unexpected opportunity to work with such an experienced blogger and professional in our field!
BJ and I prayed over the opportunity and decided it would be a great decision for our family. As we discussed the implications of this endeavour, it became very clear that I could not partner with Andrea and keep up Simple Savings Mom too. For about a month now, I have been getting my feet wet at MommySnacks and enjoying every minute of it! I have learned so much after being there for only a month, and I am still able to do what I really enjoy, sharing couponing with others. I have realized that by working with Andrea, I am able to offer both my "real-life" friends and my virtual friends more resources than I ever would have been able to do alone.
Andrea has been a joy to work with and I believe that the Lord has brought our partnership together! I appreciate her warmth and transparency with her readers as well as her passion to help families save money. I would love to have you join us at MommySnacks as we continue to share about how to save money on our everday needs. Thank you for reading Simple Savings Mom, it really has been fun and I know the fun will continue at MommySnacks.
I wanted to end by highlighting some of the helpful resources that you will find at MommySnacks. The MommySnacks Coupon Database will be particularly helpful if you desire to do your own personal coupon matchups. You will also find weekly postings for grocery, retail, and drugstores under Snack Summary. Another fun feature is a Free Stuff database where you can find over 100+ freebies. There are also tons of articles on frugal living, couponing, getting deals, and so much more! I know you will enjoy MommySnacks as much as I have.
I look forward to you joining us!

Perhaps more evidence that Jimmy Kimmel is the right guy to host the Oscars? Anyway, it's more to add to the things that would've made the Oscar telecast bearable, following the much better James Bond montage earlier today and "We Saw Your Junk," the parody song answer to "We Saw Your Boobs." While Kimmel already dropped his comical "Movie: The Movie 2V" it seems he had one more satirical jab at the movies up his sleeve.
Kimmel has unveiled "Zero Dark Fiddy," which in case you couldn't guess from the title, playfully takes on "Zero Dark Thirty" casting everyone's favorite rapper/actor 50 Cent in the lead. Fred Armisen cameos, and no one really knows how to pronouce Curtis Jackson's name (he insists its Fifty), and while it's not one of Kimmel's better spoofs, it's enough for a quick look and a chuckle. Watch below. [THR]

I totally agree with you. But with the following:
- backing from owners
- Sam as manager
- rock solid unit of defenders and defensively orientated midfielders
- good wingers
- great captain
- strong bench
- promising youngsters
don't you want to know where is our limit if we had a 25 goals a season striker?
I certainly do.

Muller ExtraBold Font
Font Family
Copyright (c) 2015 by Fontfabric LLC. All rights reserved.
The very first sketches of Muller were made about four years ago. In the process they changed to the point where they had nothing in common with the original idea. As it is with most work we do, when we seek perfection, changes are inevitable. It was specifically designed with a wider structure for better appearance in small sizes and the extra attention to the detail was needed for the big sizes. We managed to find the right balance for the perfect universal font family. The family consists of 20 weights, raging from Thin to Heavy with matching Italics. This font family is suited for everything, raging from advertising, packaging, editorial and branding, to web and screen projects. Muller comes with a complete range of figure options, including proportional and old style figures, each in its tabular version. It also includes advanced typographic features such as ligatures, fractions, alternate characters, case-sensitive forms, superscripts and subscripts.

Does Friends With Benefits work? This movie is about 3 school age girls and 3 school age boys (can't remember high school or college) who make a pact to give it to each other whenever they want it. The system seems to be working until one of the girls falls in love with a boy outside of the circle.
Check your local listings for when this is on LIF in your area tonight. This film seems like it could be a very interesting piece.
I do expect there might be some moralistic preaching going on in the story's resolution, but I want to see if that evolves, and for logical reasons, or typical LIF channel "emotional pandering."
Anyway, I even set my cell phone's alarm to remind me to watch this one.

OK, raise your hand if you remember the days when Smokin' Joe Bonamassa was a chubby prepubescent kid firing up his big, bad blues guitar licks at Local 518 clubs like Pauly's Hotel and Bogie's long before he was old enough to legally drink there?
Well, things have certainly changed for the Utica guitarslinger, who made his Saratoga Performing Arts Center debut earlier this month.
Bonamassa and his band – fueled by master drummer Anton Fig (who played with Felicia Collins at Schenectady's Music Haven the previous night) and keyboardist Reese Wyans (a key member of the late Stevie Ray Vaughan's Double trouble) – burned through their Three Kings show, a tribute to blues guitar giants Albert King, Freddie King and the one and only B.B. King.

It was the big boy-band bash of the Saratoga Performing Arts Center's summer concert season. And it was a huge happy 24th birthday party for 5 Seconds of Summer drummer Ashton Irwin, who was enthusiastically serenaded by his bandmates and the largely young, female crowd.
Yes, the loooong wait was finally over (tickets for the concert went on sale more than a year ago), and the Australian pop-punk band had arrived in the Spa City with almost as much fanfare as American Pharoah.
Following an opening set from Hey Violet, 5SOS pumped out plenty of their hits, a sneak preview of their upcoming album Sounds Good Feels Good (highlighted by "Permanent Vacation" and their current single "She's Kinda Hot") and a few select covers (including Green Day's "American Idiot" and an encore of the Romantics' "What I Like About You").
And what did the crowd like about 5SOS? Just about everything…

Afie Jurvanen isn't from the Bahamas. He's a Finnish-Canadian from Barrie – a working class town in rural Ontario.
But his chosen epithet is fitting. Since 2009, he's been making music under the name Bahamas – writing songs about sunsets, love affairs and making out with crooked smiles. Through simple arrangements, he charts an escape route from the snow belt to the coral reefs.

2015 has been a big year for Alex Torres & His Latin Orchestra. Not only is the spicy salsa band celebrating its 35th anniversary this year, but they also toured China for the first time, and their music was picked up for a number of television and film projects, including the Netflix series "Bloodlines," USA Network's "Complications" and the feature comedy "Drunk Wedding."
Bu the Amsterdam-based band led by bassist Alex Torres haven't forgotten about their loyal Nippertown fans. In addition to their regular gigs at Saratoga Springs' Newberry Music Hall, the Latin Orchestra also fired it up Skidmore College's Tang Museum, turning the rooftop into a dance floor at a recent installment of the museum's free UpBeat On the Roof concert series.

Review by Greg Haymes
Photographs by Andrzej Pilarczyk, Rudy Lu
It was a perfect summer evening, and there were plenty of young kids playing in Schenectady's Central Park – running around, riding their bicycles, playing on the swing sets. Then there was 12-year-old Joey Alexander, who was also playing in the park. And he was swinging, too – as the headlining musician for the Music Haven's pentultimate concert of the season. And what a concert it was…
He's no up-and-coming "ooo-baby-baby" tween-pop star, either. The pint-sized piano prodigy's bag is jazz, and just the day before his Electric City concert, he was playing at the most prestigious jazz fest in the land – the Newport Jazz Festival – where fans were literally climbing the walls to watch him perform selections from his sparkling debut album, My Favorite Things.
In Schenectady, the crowd filled the seats as well as the park's natural amphitheater, and while some may have come purely out of the curiosity factor, they stayed because the Indonesian-born, NYC-based Alexander is a really good musician. Not just really good for a kid. Really good. Period.
Confidently leading his trio – featuring the skin-tight and oh-so-enthusiastic bassist Russell Hall and drummer Sammy Miller – Alexander tore through such jazz standards as Wayne Shorter's explosive "Footprints," Billy Strayhorn's bittersweet "Lush Life" and Thelonious Monk's solidly swinging "I Mean You," which earned him a rare – and well deserved – mid-show standing ovation.

It seems as though top-notch nights of headbangin' have been pretty few and far between this concert season, but the Saratoga Performing Arts Center cranked up the volume for those masked metalheads Slipknot, as they came roaring into the Spa City on their Summer's Last Stand Tour on the last day of July.
With Slipknot in the headlining slot, the four-band mini-fest bill also featured pummeling performances from Lamb of God, Bullet for My Valentine and Motionless in White.
Now that's what we call headbangin' time…

Pattern available in JAPANESE here.
The sweater, with the colors of ashes, is named after Fimmvörðuháls, a mountain pass in Iceland at the site of the now-famous eruption of glacier Eyjafjallajökull in 2010. I knitted the sweater while walking this pass, in my Hiking and knitting tour between Fire and Ice in the summer of 2011. It is typical of an Icelandic lopi yoke sweater, but also seeks inspiration in the Old costume jackets (close-fitted shaping and unusual elbow shaping) and the Icelandic lace shawl tradition: the colorwork in the yoke is faked with a typical undulating lace pattern and the crocheted chain bind-off adds a feminine touch.
The cardigan version, using Cascade yarn, is either knitted in the round and steeked, or knitted back and forth, then a crochet edging with button loops crocheted as you go added. Sample shown with reindeer horn buttons made by Icelandic artisans.

Beta Testing.
So ever since I hit 85 with Jacemora in the Beta I essentially stopped playing in Beta.
My plan now, with the little time before the Cataclysm release I plan on testing out just how Uber my premade can be in full Raid T11 gear. I have cut the gems (such weird requirements on the meta), enchanted my gear, and choose a bear feral spec.
My plan is to solo some content… Most likely some Black Temple trash, just to see how viable solo grinding the last little bit of rep I need will be. Also probably Utgarde Pinnacle as I still don't have the Blue Drake. It is possible to solo Utgarde already for the drake drop, but I want to see how much easier it is at 85 with awesome gear.
Ok… so off to BT… Fly to Blasted Lands… go through portal… fly to Outpost…. fly to BT…
"You must be in a raid…"
Damn it.
Fly to SW Harbor… boat to Northrend… fly to Valgarde… fly to UK… set to Heroic and enter UP.
Stealth to Skadi…
Run the gauntlet… kill guys… pick up harpoons… shoot down Skadi…. oh wait…
Bags are full… /damn it
Drop a Heaveweave manual…
kill guys… pick up harpoons… shoot down Skadi.
Kill Skadi, loot… no Blue Proto. /Sigh
Ok, so what did I learn?
- This is Easy. I went from 130K+ health to about 100K. Fought him standing still, never moved. Used no cooldowns.
- Bears hit freaking hard.
- Droprate will have me doing this quite a bit.
One Response to Beta Testing.
Funny that I was doing the exact same thing yesterday. Farming magister terrace and UP will be soo much easier at 85 with heroic/T11 gear. (lower dodge/crit, but higher HP/heals).
The one I'm curious about is molten core. I can solo most bosses as it is now, but its painfully slow and can't solo them all. I wonder at 85….

Absolute Machine Tools' You Ji HMC-1000BP combines boring mill features with a 77,000-lb, moving saddle design HMC. A box-in-box structure confines spindle movement inside the column casting, which reduces moving mass and to allow faster acceleration and rapid rates. The design promotes thermal symmetry and eliminates thermal distortion, the company says.
Linear slideways in the X and Y axes and a square ram in the Z axis provide heavy-duty cutting performance. The machine features rapid traverse rates of 787 ipm in the X and Y axes and 630 ipm in the Z and W axes. Other features include large, pretensioned ballscrews with dual ballscrews in the X axis and large Fanuc servomotors. Pretensioning of the ballscrews virtually eliminates any thermal expansion of the screws, the company says.
The standard 4.72″ (120-mm) diameter air-cooled spindle is driven by a two-speed ZF gearbox and 35-hp Fanuc spindle motor. The spindle is housed in an 8.66" × 8.66" (220- × 220-mm) square ram that extends 27.5" in the W axis.
The B-axis rotary table is standard with a square (1,000- × 1,000-mm) table and 0.001 degree, fourth-axis contouring ability. The fourth-axis indexing unit employs a precision worm gear and worm wheel for accuracy and repeatability. Although a two-pallet, side-by-side pallet changer is standard, the machine can be ordered without the pallet system. Other standard equipment includes high-pressure flood coolant, a coolant shower, a 40-tool ATC (60-, 80- and 120-tool ATCs are optional), a spindle cooler, rigid tapping and a complete chip removal system.

Landfill Harmonic / The Recycled Orchestra
This is 11 minutes of pure inspiration. "Landfill Harmonic" is an upcoming documentary about a tiny village called Cateura, built atop garbage, in Paraguay. More specifically it is about Luis Szaran, Favio Chavez Moran, and a group of children who play in an orchestra with instruments made of trash. I got a little emotional watching this.

During the process of adopting, families often get lots of support from experienced professionals.
But once the adoption is final, much of that support falls away, and families can be left to cope with complicated issues on their own.
Adoption Journeys is a free, state-funded program offered to adoptive families through a nonprofit agency, Child and Family Services. Many families, though, are not aware that the service is available at no cost to families with any type of adoption — public, private, domestic, and international.
"We're a well-kept secret," said Heather Ingham, regional manager in the Somerville office, which includes Boston and communities to the south.
And finding out about that secret made all the difference to one Winchester family.

Indian rape victim's death sparks outrage
Violent protests grew in India over the death of a young woman student who was raped in New Delhi in December by several men in a moving bus. She died from the injuries she received in the brutal attack resulting in severe internal injuries. She was cremated away from the public glare, but her case spoke loudly to the general population. Demonstrators are seeking action from a government that has long been at a loss as to how to deal with rape cases in Indian society. The men have been charged with murder and could face the death penalty. -- Paula Nelson ( 25 photos total)

In memory of John Connell
Long-time Webster resident and well-respected Monroe County Court Judge John Connell died last weekend.
This is old news (see the article here), but I was reminded of his passing this morning when I came across his obituary in the newspaper. My husband and I hadn't seen John in several years, but we considered him a friend. We got to know him and his wife Kathy 15 years ago when we were all part of the inaugural Rochester Irish Festival Committee. His dedication to that cause, and his hard work in helping to get that festival off the ground were representative of what a good man he was.
We lost touch with John until several years later in his courtroom when he was assigned to an assault case in which my family was involved. Man of integrity that he was, he recused himself from the case to avoid any appearance of bias.
John Connell – the friend, the judge, the man – will be missed.

Assemblages of Anarchists: Political Aesthetics in the Journal Mother Earth
November 8, 2:30pm - 4:00pmManoa Campus, Saunders 624
Anarchists have high expectations for visual art and literature. They look to the arts to foment rebellion by dramatizing current injustices, imagining better futures, or inspiring the needed will and energy to rebel. My goal is to examine Mother Earth's literary and artistic productions, looking both at the content or message of the art, and at the form or structure of the creative act itself. I look for patterns in the material that can help explain Goldman's selections of art and literature, frame the journal's aesthetic practices, and consider the likely impact those practices could have on readers and viewers. I am interested in what readers could sense and understand in Mother Earth's art and literature, and how they were able to feel and to see.

text: Most dangerous passwords for your smartphone, computer, ATM, debit card, tablet John Matarese, newsnet5.com 5:25 AM, Aug 7, 2013 Share Article Previous Next Use safe passwords for your computer and smartphone. KNXV Using a computer in a coffee shop. Getty Images Show Caption Hide Caption Previous Next C'mon, guys: It's 2013, not 1998. But, a lot of us still set passwords like we're living in the "you've got mail" age of AOL. Despite all the security breaches of recent years, many of us still use dangerous passwords. MANY iPHONES VULNERABLE iPhone users tend to have college degrees. But, Time Magazine sites surveys that find that find 1-2-3-4 is the number one iPhone password. The second most popular password is 0-0-0-0 . Those are both on the list of the most common and the worst passwords you could use – joining the ranks of "password" as your password and "ABC123." They're too easy to guess! Using lazy passwords like these as your four-digit code to get onto your smartphone may not seem like a big deal. But, Data Doctors founder Ken Colburn says they make it too easy for thieves to get straight to your financial information. Someone who gets into your smartphone, he said, could "go straight to the Wells Fargo website and say 'I forgot my password," he said. "And because I have your email account, it's going to send the password reset right to the phone." Then, a thief can get right into your bank account – and take whatever they want. PASSWORD BEST PRACTICES Experts say many people have weak passwords on their bank and other accounts as well. Microsoft says the ideal password has at least 14 characters, and has both letters and numbers. Many people still use their birth dates as ATM and debit card passwords. If someone figures it out, they are halfway toward successful identity theft. Microsoft says dangerous passwords include your: -Name -Birthday -Drivers License number -Other personal numbers as passwords. Several websites, including Microsoft's, have password testers, where you can enter your passwords and see how secure they are. Try yours out. You may be in for a surprise. Spashdata.com says you should try using spaces to remember secure passwords, such as "See[space]WEWS[space]now!" And, they say it's best to use a different password for each new website or service you sign up for. So, how do you remember all of those passwords? Try a password memorization program. You can download them onto your browser. Try SplashID, Dashline, Lastpass and Roboform. After you fill in a new password, they will ask you if you want it remembered for next time. Some of the memorization programs cost, but others are free. So do your research. Share Article A Share A A A Share Article

In fact, he's filling both roles for Lifetime: After a week on the set of "The Client List" — directing an episode for the show's second season that starts Sunday (March 10) — he also plays a U.S. senator in Saturday's (March 9) new film "Restless Virgins."
"This is a movie about screwed-up kids and what screws them up," he tells Zap2it about the drama, also casting Vanessa Marano ("Switched at Birth") as a newcomer at a prep school where she learns a sex tape involves several lacrosse players … including the son of Busfield's character.
"Whether he's a senator or any kind of powerful man who thinks that writing a check means being a dad, it's about lack of supervision and too much money," Busfield reasons, "and kids can often find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time that way. That's what drew me to the part. Especially being a parent of three, I think it's about what you do when your children aren't serviced by spoiling them."
Though he also directed "Psych," "Franklin & Bash" and the ABC Family series pilot "The Fosters" recently, Busfield maintains he's fine with placing himself in someone else's hands as an actor. Having done that on "Restless Virgins" with Jason LaPeyre, he reasons, "I am so happy not to have to be thinking about the mass of it all — what angles to shoot, what cuts together with what, and so on.
"I've heard from producers that some directors have said, 'Is he gonna direct himself?' There's that concern on Day One, then they realize I couldn't care less about the directing side. I just really want to be the best actor I can be, which is to show up, know your lines and try to make anything work that anybody wants you to do. It no longer has the mystique of, 'What do they want and what do I want?' It's much more a one-way street."
Now engaged to fellow TV veteran Melissa Gilbert, Busfield also was a director on "The Client List" last year. He enjoys his reunions with its star and executive producer, Jennifer Love Hewitt, who had one of her first series roles as his daughter on ABC's "The Byrds of Paradise" almost 20 years ago.
"She's just the same little girl I knew when we were in Hawaii," Busfield reflects of making "Byrds" with Hewitt there. "I know her acting. I can see when she wants help in a situation, and I try to guide her through that enormous job she has, with a tremendous amount of power as a producer while still being the lead.
"I've worn those hats, and I'm always impressed with how she handles things. To me, she's just one of the greats."
Guest-starring soon on NBC's "Revolution," Busfield is at a point where he's ready to choose between his careers. "People were offering me work" as a director regularly, he says, adding that Thomas Schlamme — an executive producer of "The West Wing," on which Busfield played political reporter Danny Concannon — advised him on becoming a producer on the show "Ed."
"Tommy said, 'You'll be a much better filmmaker, and you'll have to put the acting on the back burner for a while.' About 10 years later, I've just been on a burn of directing and producing and figuring out what a TV show needs to get done … and I've just about had it. It's too overwhelming, especially producing. I wouldn't trade it for anything, but all I want to do now is act."

The University of Texas has installed the world's largest HDTV at Royal-Memorial stadium, because... because they can, I guess. They've got a bunch of money to spend, and hey, no college football experience is completely without a 1608-inch HDTV in the endzone. Factoids:Advertisement• The screen is 55 feet tall by 134 feet wide • The university had to upgrade its utilities capacity to accommodate its power needs • 40 5-ton air conditioning units are required to cool it • The heads of the gounding bolts are 5 inches wide • It is, for the next few months, the world's largest HDTV in existence • Every visitor who sets foot in the stadium will be blind before FebruaryThat last one, I can't back up with any sort of medical proof.AdvertisementFor the amount of money they spent on it, they probably could've paid off enough people to get Vince Young five or six more years of eligibility, which probably would've been a better investment.At some point, you know that some lonely stadium maintenance worker is going to break into the control room and fire up some porno on that thing. I only hope that the male star of the film can be there to see what I'd have to think would be an extremely flattering image of himself.Longhorns' new Jumbotron is world's largest HD TV [SI.com]Reply33 repliesLeave a reply

When David Moran was in the fifth grade, he got his first real gig entertaining people.
In his one-man show, he played the banjo and performed sing-along songs after school three or four times a week at a pizza joint in his hometown in Ohio.
He found himself stuck on the entertainment business and eventually was enticed by the Western skyline to leave his family's dairy farm after college. He drove through the Yampa Valley one day and couldn't keep going.
Now, one of his CDs is filled with songs inspired by the Yampa Valley. There's "The Flattops' Song (I am the Yampa)," which is told from the Yampa River's perspective, starting with thick layers of snow on the mountains and ending with a river trip to Mexico.
Another, called "The Ballad of the State Bridge Line," describes coal trains moving through the valley. Moran said he got the idea after he kept waking up in the middle of the night hearing trains go past his house.
His "Stuck on Steamboat" is an upbeat tribute to Steamboat and its ability to pull people in to stay, whether or not they can afford the town.
"I'm in love with the area," he said. "Just like everybody else."
Now that he's "39 again, 39 and holding," Moran entertains mostly at guest ranches and other clubs in the Steamboat and South Routt County area.
Moran knows thousands of jokes and stories and can play a range of instruments, including guitar, harmonica and bass pedals, which he plays at the same time. He is working on his third CD.
He's at the tail end of a summer job at Pisa's Pizza and Pasta in Oak Creek, where he'll perform at 7 p.m. Sundays until the end of August.
When Moran moved to Steamboat in the 1980s, he had shows booked around the clock and across the county, from the ski mountain to nighttime sleigh rides.
"We played every place there was to play in Steamboat," he said.
He then left the valley and spent a few years in the early 1990s working on the Grand Canyon railway as a turn-of-the-century banjo player. From that character, Moran got the show name he uses today: "Dangerous" Dave Moran.
"He's a wisecrack," Moran said about the character. "Kind of a kid-provoking, grandma-joking guy."
After that stint, he moved back to Steamboat. He found the area had changed too much for his tastes and budget, so he moved to Yampa.
Moran picked up the banjo and guitar at age 8 by watching his friends and doing a lot of back-porch picking. Neither of his parents were musicians, but they always made sure he had an instrument in his hands.
Moran had a lot of guidance from Ray Harrington, a piano player and "consummate entertainer" who encouraged Moran to back him up for several years.
From Harrington, Moran learned a lot about entertaining people -- a different skill than just playing music, Moran said.
"He was a clown and a jokester and would mess with people in the audience," Moran said. "He put everything into it."
It's the entertainer's job to play to the crowd, but he can only get the type of response he wants by fully engaging his heart in what's he's doing. Entertainers have to be flexible and versatile, Moran said.
If there are kids in the audience, Moran pulls out silly children's songs; for older adults, he'll use sing-alongs from the 1920s and '30s; for a 20-something crowd, he'll tell more jokes and stories.
"I package about five different one-man shows. Depending on where I am and who I'm playing for, I switch it up," Moran said. "I play to the crowd. I'm more of an entertainer than anything else."
From Harrington, Moran also learned how to play an F sharp, a key that Moran said Harrington loved to play in and that is extremely difficult on the banjo.
"You know the difference between a banjo and a trampoline?" he said, telling yet another of his jokes. "You take your shoes off before you jump up and down on the trampoline."
At Pisa's Pizza and Pasta, Moran's jokes and songs have been successful.
"We get a lot of people calling, asking if he's playing or not," said Joel Johnson, the restaurant's general manager. "We get a lot of people who come in and say, 'Oh, we had no idea he was playing, but this is really nice,' so they'll stay a little longer."
At the restaurant, Moran doesn't play his songs too loudly, so people have a chance to enjoy their conversations as they eat.
Moran doesn't seem to mind not always being the center of attention -- that's just part of being an entertainer. And, it means more time for people to dance and enjoy themselves.
"We've had nights where the end of the night comes and we shove the tables aside and get to boogeying," Moran said.

WASHINGTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - Nasdaq OMX Group Inc (NDAQ.O) plans to pay out $62 million in cash to firms that lost money in Facebook Inc's (FB.O) bungled initial public offering in May, modifying an earlier plan that drew intense criticism from market makers and other exchanges.
The plan, which Nasdaq filed with regulators late Friday, is $22 million larger than originally proposed in June. All accommodations will be paid in cash, a departure from the prior proposal, in which Nasdaq would have mostly compensated firms through trading credits or rebates.
All payouts are expected to occur within six months for firms that qualify and agree not to pursue legal action against Nasdaq, the filing said.
U.S. exchanges match hundreds of billions of dollars of securities transactions every day.
"If exchanges could be called upon to bear all costs associated with system malfunctions and the varying reactions of market participants taken in their wake, the potential would exist for a single catastrophic event to bankrupt one or multiple exchanges," Nasdaq said in the filing.
Liabilities at U.S. exchanges are capped in most instances. Nasdaq's cap is $3 million and the plan filed with the SEC is meant to increase that in this specific instance. But a firm could sue in the case of gross negligence, one legal source said.
Market makers, which facilitate trades for brokers, lost upward of $200 million in the IPO as technical glitches on Nasdaq's systems delayed the offering, and then left many investors in the dark for more than two hours as to whether their orders had gone through.
The market makers said Nasdaq's original plan fell far short. Some said they were weighing their legal options.
In its filing, Nasdaq said market makers that, on the day of the Facebook IPO, had covered c lient orders that were canceled but not confirmed in a reasonable amount of time, should bear some of the losses themselves. Nasdaq's plan calls for the market makers to bear 30 percent of the losses in these cases.
Orders are usually confirmed within seconds, but in this case, many orders made between 11:11 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. when the stock began trading, were not confirmed or processed until 1:50 p.m. That left market makers and other customers unsure of what they owned or whether their buy, sell and cancel orders had gone through. Some orders were lost altogether.
During the chaotic hours after Facebook debuted, market makers say they tried in vain to reach contacts at Nasdaq to find out about their positions in Facebook. They were also calling the SEC to make sure the regulator understood the gravity of the situation.
Nasdaq faces regulatory investigations into its systems and actions.
The botched IPO has been a communications nightmare for Nasdaq, which prides itself on its technology.
It is also a black eye for an exchange industry already suffering from lost investor confidence after both the financial crisis and the "flash crash" in May 2010, when $1 trillion in shareholder equity was temporarily wiped out in minutes.
"We deeply regret the problems encountered during the initial public offering of Facebook," Nasdaq CEO Robert Greifeld said in a statement. "We failed to meet our own high standards based on our long history of providing outstanding technology to our members and exchange customers."
Greifeld said the exchange has learned from the experience and will continue improving its trading platform.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Wall Street's self-regulator, has agreed to evaluate claims submitted under the program. The filing of the accommodation program with the SEC begins a comment period, Nasdaq said.
Facebook's $16 billion IPO was to have been the culmination of years of breakneck growth for a social network that became a cultural and business phenomenon.
But the shares of the eight-year-old company founded by Mark Zuckerberg in his Harvard dormitory room have sagged since going public at $38 a share.
Facebook shares fell 0.8 percent on Friday to close at $28.76.
Nasdaq's four largest market makers in the $16 billion Facebook IPO -- UBS (UBSN.VX), Knight Capital Group (KCG.N), Citadel Securities, and Citigroup's Automated Trading Desk (C.N) -- have estimated that they lost $200 million from Facebook trades entered May 18.
In addition, news reports have said UBS may have lost considerably more, perhaps $350 million.
Knight Capital and UBS have hinted that they could bring legal action against Nasdaq if the compensation does not cover their losses.
Citadel said it had no comment on the new plan, while the other market makers were not immediately available for comment.
The original plan also drew the ire of other exchanges, which said the idea of rebates -- which were scrapped in the new plan -- would force the firms to trade on Nasdaq.
NYSE Euronext and BATS Global Markets on Friday declined to comment on the new proposal.
Nasdaq said in its filing that 45 minutes after all of the confirmations were sent out at 1:50 p.m. on the day of the Facebook IPO "w o uld have been ample time for a reasonably diligent member to have identified any unexpected customer losses or unanticipated customer positions, and taken steps to mitigate or liquidate them" before trading closed at 4 p.m.
Using that timeframe, Nasdaq established a benchmark price of $40.527 as a maximum loss price parameter for determining accommodation payments. Losses over that benchmark price, regardless of their cause, are the responsibility of the member firm under the plan.
For orders that were placed to sell at the open that did not go through until later, when Facebook's share price had dropped, resulting in a lost, Nasdaq proposed in its plan, using $40.527 as the benchmark price, compensating a maximum of $1.473 per share per order.

Year in Stars Are Nothing Like Us 2010
Stars: They're just like us! Ha, just kidding. Those incredibly famous and fabulously rich aliens we call celebrities have been up to their old antics again this year. We're talking lavish, luxurious and straight-up crazy-expensive antics. Take a look at some of the biggest reasons why stars were nothing at all like us this past year.
They sleep with over 100 women in a year!
The Situation has a way with his, erm, abs. He reportedly has slept with over 100 women since Season 1 premiered last November. That's ten women a month or 1.25 women a week. So that makes him the Guido Don Draper? Or just a sleazy tramp. Either/or. (PopCrunch)

KNXV KNXV Copyright 2013 Scripps Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed. Show Caption Hide Caption Previous Next How can you score one of those Black Friday doorbuster deals? It is simple: just do your research ahead of time. There are many websites that can help you stay on top of the Black Friday season of deals. Sites like Bfads.net and firstname.lastname@example.com have been around for a while posting retailers leaked ads. Plus both of these sites have a huge following of Black Friday shopping junkies posting tons of information, comments and you can get some great insider information about what to expect during this Black Friday shopping season on their forums. On both websites they have an easy to navigate menu, so you can easily find what you are looking for. GOTTADEAL.COM At blackfriday.gottadeal.com I really like how they categorize their forums. When you click on forums at the top of the homepage, you will get a menu to help you narrow down your search. Although forums can be very informative, it can also take a lot of time finding the specific subject manner you want to read about. So I love this feature from blackfriday.gottadeal.com. Both website forums have some great information that folks are posting about Black Friday predictions. BFADS.NET If you want to easily get access to all of the current Black Friday ads without getting overwhelmed, try Bfads.net. They keep it simple to view each of the leaked ads. Both websites have the actual scanned ad, but Bfads.net makes it a tad bit easier to view them. Plus both sites allow you to search by category. An example would be if you are looking for a new television and you don't want to search every single leaked ad, just search by category and click on televisions. A list of all the current available leaked ads Black Friday deals on TV's will pop up. Both of these sites will help you narrow your search and save you a ton of time. As a matter of a fact, using these sites is way more efficient then actually looking at the real ads when they arrive in the mail. Both websites are free and require no sign up to view the leaked ads. If you want more features, like their shopping list features or full access to their forums, you will need to sign up and provide your email address, but it is still free. Also these sites are posting leaked ads, not the stores' official Black Friday ads but over the years, these sites are pretty spot on. So remember, when you want to save money, do your research and strategize your plan of action. Don't forget your manners when shopping this holiday season. There are plenty of deals out there for everyone. Head to my Facebook page at facebook.com/smartshopper15 and share how do you plan to save money on gifts this holiday season.
