Make Ahead
Turkey Pot Pie
- Serves 4-6
Author Notes
The big man in my life loves cheap frozen pot pies and will even microwave them for a midnight snack. He taught our sons to love them this way, too. I figured that if they liked those gummy crusts filled with pseudo-gravy with a token bit of meat and a tablespoon of vegetables, they'd love a full-flavored, meaty and colorful stew in a nice flaky crust. They do love it, so I plan ahead by making more than enough dough for the Thanksgiving pies, rolling out a top and a bottom crust, laying them between sheets of waxed paper, wrapping it in plastic and freezing until needed. The gravy is where all the flavor in a pot pie comes from, so I make sure that my gravy has a nice color and a great deal of flavor by making oven-roasted stock: I throw the neck and giblets into a stock pot with a whole yellow onion (including the peel), carrots, the tops and bottoms of celery stalks, butter, salt and pepper until they're beautifully caramelized, then transfer the pot to the stovetop, pour in a couple quarts of water, and let it all simmer for about an hour. I add the stock to a roux made from the drippings of the roasted turkey so that there's two levels of turkey flavor. Make sure to save two cups of gravy for each pie you plan to make. —betteirene
- For the Pie Crust
2 1/4 cups
1 teaspoon
table salt
1 teaspoon
1/3 cup
6 tablespoons
butter, preferably unsalted
1/2 cup
cold water
- For the Filling
medium potato, any kind
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup
frozen peas
1/2 cup
frozen corn
2 cups
leftover turkey gravy
1-2 cups
leftover turkey, chopped
1 tablespoon
beaten egg, or heavy cream, half-and-half or milk
- In the bowl of a food processor, pulse flour, salt and sugar. Add shortening and butter; pulse until the mixture looks like cornmeal. Pour in water and pulse until the dough comes together into a rough ball.
- Divide dough into two balls, one slightly larger (for the bottom crust) than the other (for the top crust). Wrap each in plastic and refrigerate while preparing the filling.
- Peel and dice the potato and the carrot. Place them in a medium saucepan with enough water to barely cover them and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/8 tsp. pepper. Cook over medium-high heat until just cooked. Remove from heat but do not drain.
- Add peas and corn to the potatoes and carrots; gently stir in the gravy and chopped turkey. If too thick, stir in a little water or chicken stock until the mixture is pourable but a little on the thick side. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
- Turn oven to 375 degrees and position a rack at the lowest level. Remove the pastry dough from the refrigerator. Roll out the bottom crust into a 12" circle between sheets of plastic wrap or on a lightly floured surface. Fit it into a 9" pie pan. Mound filling into crust. (If you have too much filling, save the extra to serve over toast.) Roll the top crust into a 10" circle. Fit over the filling; bring edges of bottom crust up and over the edges of the top crust. Crimp together, then trim the edges flush with the pie pan. Use a pastry brush to brush top of crust with egg wash or cream. Slash the top crust to let steam escape.
- Place pan on a cookie sheet lined with foil to catch any drips. Set on the bottom rack of oven. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until top is deep golden and filling is bubbly. Remove from oven and let cool 10 to 15 minutes before slicing into wedges.

[Chris] over at the New Hobbyist sent in his latest creation, a wireless light switch hidden within a statue bust. While shopping around for another project, he came across a wireless relay that can can be used to switch a standard 120v AC load. He bought the part without a project in mind, but inspiration quickly struck. Some of you young'uns might not remember the original Batman television series, but [Chris] certainly does. To access the Bat Cave, Bruce Wayne had to flip a secret switch located inside a bust of William Shakespeare that adorned his desk. While he doesn't have a secret door to activate, [Chris] couldn't think of any better way to switch on the lights in his man cave. He found a similar-looking bust of Beethoven and got to chopping his head off.
He fabricated a small mount for a push button, hiding the battery powered remote underneath, and an old 12v wall wart was repurposed to drive the wireless receiver. While not overly complicated, this is definitely a fun project and could make for a neat light switch in a kid's room. Interested in some more Batman inspired hacks? Be sure to check out this Bat Cave-style entrance switch from a few years back.
Keep reading to see a video of his hidden light switch in action.

With all of the heat a serious gaming rig can produce, it was only a matter of time before someone got the bright idea to turn a grill into a PC case. There isn't any information as far as specs are concerned, but we can see that this QuakeCon competitor has a decent sized monitor mounted inside the lid with some orange glowing fans in the range representing hot coals. It's a nice casemod—but unless he has some sort of setup that can cook burgers with processor heat I'm not all that impressed.

Succession Crisis in Bulgarian Church over Veneration of Pope's Ring
Bulgarian Bishop Simeon is up in arms against the Holly Synod and vows to fight for the Eparchy of Central and Western Europe's post.
On December 1, the Holy Synod dismissed Simeon from the post citing ailing health and prolonged absences over travels to the US. bishops say they do not want Simeon's chosen successor, his saffragan Tihon to replace him over a picture showing Tihon kissing the Pope's hand.
The Holy Synod sent to Berlin, the seat of the Central and Western Europe Eparchy, the Bishop of Stara Zagora, Galaktion, as temporary replacement just to become swamped by letters from Simeon and many Bulgarians abroad protesting the move. The Bulgarian expats do not want Galaktion over his known ties with the Communist State Security while Simeon threatens the Bulgarian Orthodox Church with a Strasbourg lawsuit and a "large uprising."
For years the Bishop scents most of his time in the US, but says no one can replace him since he has a life-long tenure.
The Holy Synod counters they have adopted an emergency Synod order, based on the Bulgarian Orthodox Church's Code, they say, to hold elections for the post and insist Galaktion will temporarily run the Eparchy until the elections, which will take place in six months.
Bishop Simeon has further sent a protest letter to Bulgaria's Patriarch Maxim labeling the Synod's decision illegal.

With Dell acquiring EMC for a record $67 billion, it raises the question: What does this all mean for VMware and its customers?
Officially, Dell says VMware will remain an independent publicly traded company. The wrinkle is that EMC owns 83% of VMware's stock; and Dell is acquiring EMC.
Forrester analyst Glenn O'Donnell says he expects the impact of the merger on VMware customers to be minimal. "You can basically look at this as some musical chairs at the high end," he says. But other analysts say there could be significant opportunities for Dell to combine its hardware with VMware's software.
+MORE AT NETWORK WORLD: Dell acquires EMC for $67 billion | VMware CEO hits on network virtualization reality, feuding with Cisco & the EMC Federation's future | Will Pat Gelsinger need a new laptop post Dell-EMC deal? +
In a conference call discussing the deal, VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger made it sound like business as usual. He spoke of the "substantial leverage" the merger will create for all the companies involved.
But there was a larger point in making that statement: Gelsinger said VMware is still committed to working with other vendors; VMware will not be turning into just a Dell reseller.
Chairman and CEO Michael Dell seemed to support that idea. "Our industry has a long history of companies collaborating and also competing against each other. Certainly that will continue here."
Simon Robinson, an analyst at the 451 Research Group says there is no doubt Dell will explore ways to cross-sell VMware and Dell products, but he says it would be wise to let VMware remain independent. "The first question many VMware customers will ask is whether this will mean they are somehow locked in to Dell," Robinson says. "Keeping VMware at arms length was the best thing EMC did, and Dell should do the same."
There could be tantalizing opportunities for Dell to see its hardware in major growth markets where VMware operates. These include cloud computing, converged infrastructure and software defined networking.
Over the past two years VMware has developed software called EVO to manage converged infrastructure environments – these are systems that offer a combined management platform for compute, network and storage in a single hardware appliance. In the past, VMware has allowed any hardware vendor to run the software, so long as certain technical specifications are met. Dell could push for it to be a primary hardware supplier for EVO though.
Wikibon analyst Brian Gracely says the combined EMC/Dell company could pressure customers into exploring alternative hardware options. "In the near-term (e.g. immediate refresh cycles), it doesn't impact customers," Gracely says, because the deal isn't expected to close until mid 2016. "Mid to long-term, (this merger) could impact (VMware customers') underlying hardware buys." One interesting angle to watch here is that Dell is a major partner of Nutanix, another converged infrastructure vendor. Dell could be double-dipping in this market if it keeps that relationship going.
Cloud computing is another major area that could be impacted by this merger. Because of VMware's strength in the compute virtualization market, it is turning into an important vendor in building private cloud management software – with a product named vCenter. Perhaps there could be combined hardware/software offerings in this market too.
Constellation Research analyst Holger Mueller wonders what will happen on the public cloud side though. Dell scrapped its plans to build a public cloud a few years ago, deciding instead to specialize in helping customers manage multiple clouds (Dell bought the company Enstratius, which it turned into Dell Cloud Manager).
Meanwhile, VMware has built its vCloud Air public cloud. The question becomes: Will Dell support VMware building out its vCloudAir public cloud, or will Dell push VMware to embrace its multi-cloud management toolset?
"The key will be that the new Dell can play on both sides of the spectrum - on premises and selling to cloud providers, something that VMware was very good at," Mueller says. "But the question ultimately is can Dell create its own (public) cloud infrastructure?"
O'Donnell, the Forrester analyst, says Dell could look to expand its role in the networking market thanks to the merger. VMware's NSX product is one of the leading software defined networking products – although it still trails Cisco's offering. "This merger could help position Dell much more strongly in the networking space," he says.
All of these potential combinations of Dell and VMware will have to be worked out carefully. VMware will want to balance its independence; Dell may want to integrate its hardware products into VMware sales. "In terms of what VMware customers will get from the Dell ownership, I think that the opportunity for Dell is to vastly simplify the whole infrastructure/IT procurement and management process," says Robinson. "Some customers are going to buy into that, but not all of them."

I picked Albion because I felt comfortable here. I didn't want to go to a big school where I would just feel like a number. I loved the small class sizes and professor's interest in the students. The Institute for Healthcare Professionals was a deciding factor for me. The institute offers specialized help during all steps of the application process for medical and dental school.
I previously attended Lansing Community College (LCC) for one year. Albion is different from LCC because class sizes are smaller. LCC is a commuter college so I was not living at school or getting involved on campus like I do here at Albion. The classes I take at Albion have challenged me more which has taught me to learn things more in depth.
I am a pre-dental student with a major in biochemistry and a minor in cell and molecular biology. I take part in numerous clubs and organizations on campus. I am a member of the women's golf team. I am in Alpha Phi Omega, a national community service fraternity, and Alpha Chi Sigma, a professional chemistry fraternity. I host prospective students as a Briton Ambassador. I am involved with the Intervarsity Christian Fellowship group. I am also a tour guide.
After graduating from Albion, I plan to further my education by attending dental school.
The transfer process for me was surprisingly easy. As a freshmen at Lansing Community College I knew I wanted to transfer to Albion, so I took classes that I knew would transfer. I talked a lot with the registrar and my admissions counselor thought out the transfer process so that I knew what to expect. Everyone was very helpful and answered all of my many questions.
I have been most pleasantly surprised by how friendly and welcoming everyone on campus is, from students, to staff, and even the president. I felt like since I was coming in as a transfer student I would have a hard time meeting people in my class, but that wasn't the case. Everyone is willing to help each other, and I wasn't expecting college to be one big community.

Do you ever change the thermostat without telling your partner?
Thirty per cent of Canadians admit to doing so if they're too hot or too cold, according to a Research Co. poll released this week.
Women (35 per cent) are more likely to confess to adjusting the heat without checking than men (25 per cent), while Quebecers are the most likely in Canada (35 per cent), and British Columbians the least (8 per cent).
Nineteen per cent said they'd never make such a change without asking their partner.
About 40 per cent of Canadians said their energy and heating use at home has increased over the past few weeks, as the cold front of winter moves in.
In B.C., that number rose to 43 per cent.
FortisBC has asked customers to reduce their gas use after the Enbridge natural gas pipeline in Prince George ruptured in October. A dip in supply is expected to continue through the winter.
The poll also looked at exactly how warm Canadians prefer their homes.
Across the country, 9 per cent of respondents said they keep the temperature at 18 C or lower while 6 per cent said they set it to 23 C or higher. Forty per cent preferred 21 to 22 C, and 38 per cent liked 19 to 20 C.
Note to readers: This is a corrected story. A previous version said women are more likely to reveal that they change the theromostat "without permission" from their spouse.

The Pawpaw
Asimina triloba
Scientific Paper
Different approaches are employed in the treatment of cancer, depending on type, site and stage. In situ cancers are surgically removed and followed up with other treatments if metastasized to the lymph nodes and other organs.
Cancer cells grow and multiply rapidly and anticancer drugs (chemotherapy) normally destroy cancer cells by damaging their genetic material, thus stopping their proliferation. Some drugs work better together than alone, hence two or more drugs are often given at the same time. Unfortunately, most anticancer drugs are not selective, thus healthy cells can also be harmed, especially those that divide quickly. Harm to healthy cells causes the side effects. Healthy cells, however, can replicate and re-establish a normal population and size after chemotherapy.
Radiation therapy, also called radiotherapy, is the treatment of cancer and other diseases with ionizing radiation, especially for localized solid tumors, such as cancers of the skin, tongue, brain, breast, or uterine cervix. Radiotherapy can also be used to treat leukemia and lymphoma (cancers of the blood-forming cells and lymphatic system, respectively). Ionizing radiation destroys cells in the area being treated by damaging their genetic material, making it impossible for these cells to continue to grow. Both cancerous and normal cells are also damaged during treatment.
Newer forms of treatment involve angiogenesis inhibition, stimulating the immune system to fight cancer, bone marrow and peripheral stem cell transplantation, and gene and photodynamic therapy.
Possible side effects of cancer treatment include loss of hair, skin irritation, infection, anemia (due to bone marrow depression), temporary change in skin color in the treated area, bleeding (platelet depletion), infections, chemo-induced cancer, and generalized weakness. Other side effects are largely dependent on the area of the body that is treated.
Pawpaw and Cancer
Difficulties with most of the chemotherapeutic drugs emanate from their concurrent eradication of normal healthy cells, including those responsible for immunity.
Tumor cells grow and replicate more rapidly than normal cells. This is because they are better equipped to receive glucose, a good source of energy for fast replication. Also, cancer cells quickly develop a network of blood vessels (angiogenesis) to ensure an efficient supply of nutrients and oxygen. This is partly why cancer patients lose weight; the cancer cells rapidly take up nutrients meant for normal cells.
Furthermore, with chemotherapy cancer cells develop resistance to the drugs, rendering chemotherapy useless and futile after a period of remission. The same principle applies to other diseases that have become drug resistant, such as malaria. The organisms and cancer cells smartly find a way of protecting themselves from the damaging effects of drugs. They generate what is called the ABC transporter superfamily, which transports a variety of substrates including amino acids, sugars, inorganic ions, polysaccharides, peptides, and proteins into the cells. In cancer cells, a member of this superfamily, called the multidrug resistant (MDR) protein, is overexpressed and helps to pump drugs out of the cancer cells, making the cancer cells simultaneously resistant to a variety of drugs. Thus, the cancer cells are protected from the toxic effects of drug combinations.
Annonaceous acetogenins may be good chemotherapeutic agents for cancer. These compounds inhibit mitochondrial and cytoplasmic production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the major source of energy for the cells and also a precursor of the nucleotides needed to produce DNA and RNA. Annonaceous acetogenins inhibit the enzymes of complex I in the electron transport system in mitochondria. They also inhibit the NADH oxidases found in the plasma membranes of tumor cells. Their net effect is depletion of ATP levels.
Tumor cells, being typically metabolically more active, are more susceptible than normal cells to the effects of the acetogenins. Angiogenesis requires ATP and angiostatin blocks angiogenesis by inhibiting ATP synthase. Thus, ATP depletion helps to block the growth of new vessels to nourish tumors. Tyrosine kinases, which play roles in tumor progression, are also inhibited by ATP depletion.
Annonaceous acetogenins also thwart MDR tumor cells. The protein pumps (glycoproteins), which extrude the drugs from the tumor cells are energized by ATP. Thus, by depleting ATP, the glycoproptein pumps become dysfunctional.
Ongoing studies confirm the benefits of pawpaw extracts in clinical cancer treatments. Pawpaw extracts can be used to inhibit the growth of cancer cells and as effective alternative or supplement to chemotherapeutic agents. Research information suggests that the bioactive compounds in pawpaw will prevent the growth of cancer cells and shrink tumors. A standardized pawpaw extract, Pawpaw Cell-Reg, containing mixtures of annonaceous acetogenins is now available. Research studies also show that pawpaw extracts are antimicrobial, antifungal, and effective against intestinal worms and head lice.
A recent study on the island of Guadeloupe suggested that a higher than usual incidence of atypical Parkinsonism there might be caused by the chronic consumption of herbal teas and fruits from the Annonaceae family (Annona muricata and A. squamosa); some of the benzyltetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids found therein are believed to be neurotoxic and, thus, may be responsible for the Parkinsonism. Such alkaloids are carefully excluded from the annonaceous extracts during manufacture of Pawpaw Cell-Reg.

DALLAS (AP) — Police body camera video footage shows a man who called 911 to request help crying, pleading then going limp as arresting officers restrain him. Soon after, a paramedic says he's dead.
Dallas police released the footage Tuesday showing the August 2016 death of 32-year-old Tony Timpa. A federal judge ordered the release of the video following requests from The Dallas Morning News and KXAS-TV.
The videos show the officers pinning Timpa to the ground and cracking jokes even as the screaming, handcuffed man suddenly becomes still and silent. Shaking his limp body the officers can be heard comparing Timpa to a child who doesn't want to wake up for the first day of school.
Medical examiners later ruled Timpa's death a homicide and said it was caused by cardiac arrest brought on by cocaine and the stress of physical restraint.
Timpa called 911 in Aug. 10, 2016, from the parking lot of a Dallas porn store. He said he was afraid and needed help, telling a dispatcher he suffered from schizophrenia and depression and was off his prescription medication, according to the Morning News. Police reports recounting the officers' version of events described Timpa as aggressive and combative.
The videos show him initially writhing on the ground and struggling for breath under the weight of the officers. But he can't be heard threatening the police officers and was already handcuffed by a private security guard by the time they arrived, the paper reports.
As the paramedics and officers wheel a stretcher with Timpa's limp body toward an ambulance, one says "hope I didn't kill him." They continue to laugh as they walk up to the vehicle, where paramedics say he's not breathing.
In 2017, a grand jury indicted Sgt. Kevin Mansell and Officers Danny Vasquez and Dustin Dillard for misdemeanor deadly conduct in Timpa's death, finding they acted recklessly. But prosecutors dismissed the charges in March and the officers returned to active duty the next month.
Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot said he met with the medical examiners who testified to the grand jury before dismissing the charges. The three medical examiners, including one hired by Timpa's family, said they don't believe the officers acted recklessly and would not "testify to the elements of the indictment beyond a reasonable doubt," according to the district attorney's office.
Timpa's family is suing the city of Dallas claiming the officers used excessive force.

Yes. The best one I did was to test out face creams. I received two full sized bottles of night creams and received $10 for filling out the survey.
It seems that only some surveys are worth taking in terms of the ratio of time spent and the payoff and countered with the risk that something will go wrong: survey quits or suddenly has met its quota for people like me. I prefer the cash as a reward, but sometimes you get products to test.
I'm retired and have more time than I know what to do with so I take surveys; Several pay cash, most award points that can be redeemed for gift card. Over a year I'll earn a couple hundred dollars worth of points/cash. Some sites also send free sample products so that's another bonus. I also learn about new products so, all in all, it's a productive use of my time. One caveat - I have separate email accounts for surveys and NEVER use the account that friends and family can use to contact me.
Yes. I have taken numerous surveys over they years. I probably average about $3 per survey but have gotten up to $10 before. Also, I have used surveys to report really good and really bad experiences.
I frequently use surveys to comment on a customer service experience. I do not recall ever completing a survey for a reward... just the satisfaction of sharing my thoughts/opinion.
I take surveys here and there, usually if I feel like I have an opinion that might help improve a product or service. One time I won a magazine subscription. That was a nice perk.
I do! I participate in e-rewards and take a few surveys a month. Once my points add up I usually redeem them for $25 Starbucks or iTunes gift cards. I probably earn a few a year...enough to support my coffee/music habits! I don't feel like all survey websites are a valuable use of time as some take forever to truly earn a reward, but e-rewards is more reasonable.
Yes, I do take surveys. I belong to Swagbucks, where I take them and earn cash and gift cards. The only annoying thing is when you completely finish a survey and it doesn't credit, and you feel that they've stolen your information. That is maddening. But otherwise, I enjoy being able to earn little treats for my family with what I can earn online!
If I feel like I have somethign to contribute I will take a survey. I do them through Swagbucks because I earn points. I also am a member of several panels that pay for taking surveys so the rewards are endless depending on how long you wait to redeem them!
I do! I think it's a fun way to earn a little (stress "little" here) cash and test products. A couple years ago, I won $100 - most survey sites enter you into cash or prize drawings for each survey you take - that was my biggest win. I earn a few bucks here and there each month; I only fill them out when I have free time. Again, it's fun!
I use surveys sometimes if I have really exceptional service or really horrible service. It's a great way to share your feelings and reward those who are amazing at their job. I lost my dave ramsey envelope system at my local grocery store with $700 in it, and the cashier returned it to me and called me. Amazing! That deserved a survey!
Not usually because I'm really not interested in doing it. If I want to report a good or bad experience, I go right to source and let them know either by email or a letter.
I would take surveys but I am always turned dow. I am 58 raising a baby and two small children. I do things that most people my age don't do. I use the products and have opinions.
Definitely! I may not technically be getting paid much for the time spent, but it still feels like a fun way to get a few extra dollars.
Yes I take surveys for payment and reward. The best rewards I've rcvd are checks for avg. of $30/month from Pinecone Research (I take 10 surveys a month for $3 a survey). Nice spending money. I also rcvd electronic gift cards from Amazon and Paypal from MySurvey.com. Easy money!!!
Very, very rarely.
Sometimes I will when the survey is a "how did we do today" kind of thing on a receipt and I figure a particularly helpful clerk will get some kind of small benefit for me hitting "5 - Extremely Satisfied."
I have two different survey sites I use on a regular basis and I try to always do the survey if one is available on the bottom of one of my receipts. I've gotten free laundry detergent to test, shampoo, and a little bit of cash. Sometimes I think it's really not worth it but every little bit helps these days.
Yep, I did surveys for quite a while in college to earn pocket money. :) I still do them occasionally as well.
I took surveys for almost two years, but decided that the time spent was not worth for me. I also felt a bit overwhelmed by it, and it definitely started to stress me out.
I take surveys when I have time. I try to do it right after I get the invitation, so I don't forget!
I have done surveys before but I found that they really aren't worth my time now that I'm busier. I do however do phone interviews for companies that I care about and I do answer the ask the readers survey quite a bit!
Yes, I participate in surveys. Never got anything for that. Also, yes, I have used surveys to give complain or compliment.
i only answer surveys if i believe the business really needs or deserves the feedback OR if they are offering an incentive. my time is worth money too.
I do take surveys. I like sites like Pinecone Research. I also do focus groups and taste tests in real life. I have been paid $40-$75 for an hour or two of "work".
I take surveys on occasion for products I use or like (or really don't like). The best reward I've received is a gift card, which is pretty sweet
I take surveys usually for rewards. I also like to take surveys at the end of a call to report good or bad customer service.
I still take the occasional survey. They all pay various amounts of points that can be redeemed for gift cards or a check when--If!-- I accumulate enough.
At first itwas fun to get things like amazon gift cards for free, but eventually the novelty wore out. I realized that taking surveys is a major time suck. For the most part, I'd rather have my time than a five-buck gift card that takes hours to earn.
I am a member of both MyPoints and InBox Dollars and take surveys through those programs to earn points and dollars respectively. While neither program will pay my bills, I generally cash out both just before the holidays to make things a little easier.
I was downsized when I was in my early sixties, finding another job has been difficult, I had to start social Security early or starve. While being time consuming, surveys do offer a few extra bucks, I usually try to avoid the sites that take forever to pay and try to do a few when I get time.
no...it seems like many online put your computer at risk for viruses and such...not worth the frustration.
The best reward I've ever received for taking a survey? Being able to tell a company and in industry what I felt and thought about them.
Yes, but it's a mixed bag. Sometimes I don't because I don't want to collect points. I actually want to win something. lol I haven't so far but one day I will!
Yes, I take surveys. I've earned a little pocket money, but really should find a more lucrative way to spend that time. Isn't this a survey of sorts? :)
I try, but it's hard to find the time. I am pretty faithful to e-rewards for surveys, but Ipsos just sends too many.
I'm signed up with Survey Money to take occasional surveys. They donate 50 cents to a favorite charity every time I take one. So far, I've donated $9 to the Pet Finder Foundation.
I take surveys found at the bottom of receipts. I've never won anything, but I do sometimes save money off of my next visit or in the case of Subway earn a free cookie.
I do take surveys. I haven't really received much in the way of rewards - some coupons only. I do them when I have the time for companies or about companies that I patronize because I just think it's valuable to give feedback!
Yes, I like pine cone because it pays $3 per survey and sometimes you get to try out new products.
If I'm in the mood to take a phone survey, sometimes I will, but the only surveys that I usually take are the ones on Swagbucks.com to earn swagbucks.
I took a bunch of psychology surveys/ tests in college, because we would get emailed about them all the time and beat doing homework. They put all of our names into a raffle and one year I won $50. But otherwise I don't do many surveys, but would be interested for the sake free stuff/ money.
Wouldn't the majority of folks who answer be people who do take surveys?
Isn't this -- a survey?
I do take surveys. People love to be asked about their preferences and about what they think, and to compare their answers everybody else's.
Yes, I have taken surveys for several years. However, I have noticed that I don't qualify for as many as I used to. I believe that I am close to the age category that many companies don't really care about our opinions. They are mostly concerned with younger people and their preferences. Ah, well, it was fun while it lasted.
Yep. I used to take them through mysurvey.com, but I was spending tons of time taking them for little return. I now occasionally take one through Swagbucks, and the return seems better. The surveys I enjoyed the most were not through mysurvey but some company they worked with, emsense, and when I closed my mysurvey account, I stopped getting them. Each 30 minute survey got me a $5 gift card, if I remember correctly. It was an awesome return, and I enjoyed the surveys, which included watching videos and answering questions while wearing a headpiece. I did enjoy the occasional free samples from mysurvey, though. I got free diapers, face cream, and various food samples, like pizza and chips.
No, I usually don't take surveys. But, hey maybe I'll start, especially if there is a reward involved! I am more inclined to take a survey if I care about the business and use it frequently. Random surveys are less appealing and feel time consuming. I am more likely also to take a survey if I have had an exceptionally good or bad experience. The closest thing I've done related to reporting a poor experience was writing a review about a undesirable employer. I also wrote a review on Yelp for the woman who did our invitations. She was fantastic!
I've been doing on line surveys for a few years. Its a passive income, done on my laptop while watching tv. I take the points and convert them to AirMiles for free gas or get the prepaid Visa cards. Roughly works out to be about $300 a year.
Every so often we get to try a product like laundry detergent. The best was a Keurig and Tassimo study. Each machine came with a $75 gift certificate for coffee. As a reward for our participation we got to keep the machines.
I ABSOLUTELY take surveys! I get lots of rewards -- gift cards, products to test, and cash -- all for just a few minutes of my time.
Yes I take surveys. I use GlobalTest Market and although I don't always qualify for the surveys it is still nice to do and earn a little extra cash/gift cards.
I will fill out a survey to get a free sample or $ off coupon, but not really for any other reasons. I'd be interested in seeing some reputable resources for other good causes!
I do sometimes, if the potential payout is good or if I feel strongly that my opinion should be heard, or if I really want the surveyors to have good data.
I take surveys. My best reward was a $5 Amazon gift code. I use surveys more to report bad service than good service.
Yes, I love surveys! I love getting product tests in the mail and cash for my opinion! I am very committed to doing surveys and the extra funds help tremendously!
I've done a couple. The last one was online and involved logging into a website over the course of three days and answering discussion questions posted there. I spent about four hours on it total, and got a $150 Visa gift card--$37.50 per hour is worth it!
Yes! I took a health survey in March and was entered into a sweepstakes. I won a $500 Walmart gift card.
Yes, I do surveys. I use acop.com, mturk.com, multiple phone apps, and the arbitron radio survery that comes in the mail with cash. I like the fact that I can earn some extra cash when I want to. Granted it isn't much, but a couple hundred bucks over the course of a year is a couple hundred bucks...
Yes, I do! And I'll do the survey that is on your receipt for a store asking about service and store appearance.
Yes, I take surveys that allow me to earn a few extra bucks in the form of gift cards, magazine subscriptions, or rewards points that I can put toward earning a free flight or a hotel stay. Last year, I took enough surveys to earn about 7,500 points to the Hilton Honors rewards program. These points, combined with those I earned from previous stays, were enough to send my parents on a free two night getaway to Tucson, AZ for their Christmas present!
I've also used points from surveys to get year long magazine subscriptions, which doesn't require filling out nearly as many surveys as you might think. It's been a great way to get free reading material!
Indeed I do. I enjoy taking surveys, particularly if they're on an important topic and I sense that I may have some influence on the results. Many surveys are interesting and fun.
On principle, I would never respond to a survey.
Wait, what did I just...? Oh, no! What have I done!?
I tried doing surveys for money, but I probably was trying the wrong sites. Seemed like a lot of work and giving away of information for very little return, so I stopped.
I used to take a lot of surveys, but the rewards did not compensate for the time spent. Plus, answering all those repetitious questions began to be annoying.
Yes, I used to take a A LOT of surveys -- the kind of site where if you do a ton of them, you eventually earn points for gift cards. It was good for killing time, and I was able to get several $25 gift cards. I haven't done it in over a year, because I don't have that sort of down time anymore.
Rarely, I do, but really the time invested doesn't yeild a good return. Crowdtap did everyone a dirty and ditched all our points. It was really criminal how they wasted our time. After that, I just stick to Swagbucks.
Oh, I definitely take surveys. I get them from Swagbucks and MyPoints, mostly. I love the way the points add up!
I have entered a lot of surveys from the fast food place, discount store, hardware store, but I have never won any prizes.
I take surveys to try to get a little extra spending money. If the survey is for an entry into a drawing, I only take it if it isn't ridiculously long.
I usually take them if I have time and I think the best reward I have received was a gift card for either $25 or $50 Visa GC
Yes, I do surveys pretty often. In the past I've done surveys for companies that have paid me, usually $3 per survey. I've also done some that have sent me free magazine subscriptions although I didn't do these often, and eventually stopped altogether, as I don't like to use up the resources that is required to manufacture magazines. (Trying my best to reduce my footprint on earth.) Now, I do surveys to earn points that I can use as entries for scholarships to help pay for my upcoming college expenses. Hopefully, it will pay off some!
I used to be signed up for survey companies but never found they were worth the effort for the return

Closed loop water cooling is the big topic of the cooling world right now. Companies such as Corsair, Antec, and Zalman already have products on the market, and the newest entrant into the closed loop scene is Thermaltake. Now Thermaltake is not new to the water cooling market. Their BigWater and ProWater series have been out for a while now but they still require assembly and the general hassles and worries associated with traditional water cooling.
Today we are taking a look at the Water 2.0 Pro. The new Water 2.0 series consists of the the Performer, Pro, and Extreme models. This Pro model is a standard 120mm radiator but is much thicker than the Performer model. We are going to be doing a direct comparison to Thermaltake's newest high-end air cooler, the Frio Extreme, as well to get an idea of what we can expect from a similarly priced air and water cooler.

So you think you know what a number is…
I was recently surprised by a 404 which I noticed in Google's Webmaster Tools,
which pointed to a truncated URL (
http://www.wdl.org/en/item/) which is
never actually linked to. This happens frequently but in this case the failure was
interesting because the source link was an unlinked URL on a Persian blog and the
source link actually worked:
The canonical URL for that page is http://www.wdl.org/en/item/2679/ and the author had presumably pasted the URL into a page where their software had helpfully converted the latin digits (e.g.
0123456789) into what are
known as
Eastern Arabic, Hindi or Indic-Arabic numerals:
٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩ (a closer look shows that this is the Persian variant as the
6 is actually ۶ instead of
Presumably Googlebot scans HTML for text which look like URLs but uses a limited parser which breaks as soon as it finds a character which isn't in a limited set of characters, presumably only ISO-8859-1, causing it to break the URL while other services (e.g. Facebook, Google+, Github, etc.) extract the full URL.
So … mystery solved, we're done, right?
Wait, why does that URL work in the first place? We never added that as a supported feature and, being security-aware, all of our URLs are carefully validated to ensure that the IDs are valid numeric values – both as part of Django's URL dispatching and when the item is retrieved from the database. Besides, since the item IDs aren't assigned using Eastern-Arabic digits how does it actually match the record?
Python's documentation for
int() doesn't mention anything about this but
gives us a clue:
Decimal characters include digit characters, and all characters that can be used to form decimal-radix numbers, e.g. U+0660, ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT ZERO.
What's happening here is that Python uses the Unicode definition of "digit", which is actually a fairly long list.
The specification uses the
"Nd = Number, decimal digit" classification
and a quick look at the
Unidata script extensions list
shows quite a few different characters flagged with Nd. Python should treat all of those
as valid digits for the purposes of calling
and even the regular expressions used to validate our URLs. ۲۶۷۹ will match
and will have been converted to the number
2679 by the time the database
sees it.
If you want to see this in action, I created a quick test script which allows you to test numeric characters from the full list. Try it interactively in your browser: http://repl.it/X3G.
Left as an exercise for the reader is building a tool which will translate URLs to a specific script, such as this Burmese variant for the Ramayana: http://www.wdl.org/en/item/၁၄၂၈၅/

Hello, I'm an independent custom software developer and consultant located in Hollister, California. I have lots of experience working with business of all sizes doing everything from system and network administration to writing and maintaining custom software for order tracking, order fulfillment, point of purchase, purchase order, integration with accounting packages such as Peachtree, Quicken, and Quickbooks, configuring Windows, Mac, and Linux computers, writing firewall scripts, creating standalone desktop applications and web applications, administering MySQL, MS-SQL, Firebird, SQLite, PostgreSQL, and Visual FoxPro databases, and more.
I prefer git for source control, vim for editing code, and Python for programming command line, rich desktop, and web applications. I like using Linux as my integrated development environment, relying mostly on powerful command line tools for most tasks. Did I mention I love Python?
If you have need for a custom solution, I could be the person you want to hire: give me a call and we'll find out together. I like challenges, but find that listening to the problems has a way of presenting fairly simple solutions to build upon over time, rather than needing to put all your eggs in one basket immediately.
Here is a somewhat incomplete list of the technologies I am most experienced with:

Saturday Dose of Cute: How Donkettes Beg for Treats
18 comments:
All those sweet faces need are big pink bows in their foretops.ReplyDelete
Moms favorites... Donkeys!ReplyDelete
I don't blame you. I TOTALLY would have fallen for it, too.ReplyDelete
And the quilt a few posts down? Gorgeous. All of your finds, really, sound perfectly lovely and well-loved. Just the way I like my things to be. :)
Happy lambing season, dear!!
I thought they were eyeballing whatever is growing on the other side (foreground) of the fence - the grass is always greener etc. etc. - they are certainly adorable.ReplyDelete
It's the eye lashes. It'd get me every time. Once you understand that they are your master you'll stop feeling so guilty! I had to surrender to my cats.ReplyDelete
Hi there. They do look like they need treats!ReplyDelete
I'm curious-why do you keep donkeys? I'm plotting and planning my future homestead and have been thinking a lot about animals lately. I hear donkeys are great lawn mowers! What would be other benefits, and are they social animals?
Thank you!
Sorry! I just saw the answer to my question. . .ReplyDelete
"Why do we have donkeys? Their priceless entertainment value!"
Sounds good to me :)
Easily the sweetest donkettes ever! I couldn't resist a face like that either.ReplyDelete
Well, what do they get for all that begging? Tea and crumpets? An apple pie? Cherry soda with dried raisins, ginger snaps? I'm sure whatever it was, they loved it! I've never been able to get my horses to like brownies...that's a weird one to me. All that sugar, surely, all hooved animals should love brownies?ReplyDelete
The fourth picture from the end, with the two cute donkey heads, is especially cute. They're irresistible.ReplyDelete
I just found your blog on Life is a Highways Versatile Blog award post. Your blog is adorable. My family raises sheep; Shropshires to be exact. Love your blog!!!ReplyDelete
Your donk are adorable. Well, every donkey is adorable!! We love ours to pieces...ReplyDelete
So Cute! I especially like how they are shaggy right not.ReplyDelete
Do donkeys every do anything besides standing around and looking cute? I hear that they are good at guarding sheep. Is that true? I was commenting to my DH the other day about how cute yours are, and we got to wondering about that.
The Donkettes: Forgotten one-hit-wonder girl group of the 1960s. What ever happened to the lovely ladies who brought us "Your Love (Is Like A Hee-Haaawww)?" When Decca didn't renew their contract in the fall of 1962, the Donkettes retired to live the quiet farming life in rural southwestern Missouri.ReplyDelete
HI there am back... well last work I was on had no wifi so I only my mails and stay at friends places to blog...ReplyDelete
Cute donkeys, what treat you normally give them
Shalimar xxx
Oh, those are adorable! I just visited a donkey sanctuary this week and fell in love once again with all things donkey. :)ReplyDelete
I'd love to follow your blog but can't find a "follow" button? I'm relatively new to this blogging world though so maybe it's there and I'm missing it.
Oh never mind, I figured out how to follow you. :)ReplyDelete
But I forgot to mention, if you're interested in seeing my pics from The Donkey Sanctuary and reading a little about it, you'll find info here on my blog:
I don't normally do such a blatant plug for my blog, but really I would love to raise awareness for the sanctuary as they are doing some thing quite special for donkeys who are quite special. :)
My great grandmother used to have a Donkey named Lilly. She begged for homemade biscuits everyday, which my great grandmother always made just for Lilly. The rest of us were lucky if there were biscuits leftover!ReplyDelete
December 2015 update: Hi!

After three seasons, ABC Family's Kyle XY TV show is coming to an end. Will viewers get answers to the ongoing storylines about the young man without a belly button?
Kyle XY centers around a young man (Matt Dallas) who wakes up in the middle of a Seattle forest — naked and without a memory. The police call in psychologist Nicole Trager (Marguerite MacIntyre) for assistance and she ends up bringing him home. Her husband Stephen (Bruce Thomas), daughter Lori (April Matson), and son Josh (Jean-Luc Bilodeau) almost immediately take to "Kyle" and make him feel like part of the family. He begins to show incredible intelligence and physical abilities that lead the Tragers to realize there's far more to Kyle than meets the eye. Others in the series include Chris Olivero, Kirsten Prout, Jaimie Alexander, Nicholas Lea, Chelan Simmons, Magda Apanowicz, Martin Cummins, Leah Cairns, J. Eddie Peck, Teryl Rothery, Conrad Coates, Cory Monteith, Josh Zuckerman, Kurt Max Runte, and Malcolm Stewart.
The show premiered on June 26, 2006 on ABC Family and became an instant hit. It attracted 2.6 million viewers and became the cable network's highest-rated show to date. The pilot was repeated on ABC and over 5.2 million people watched. The first season was made up of 10 episodes and the show was quickly renewed for a second year.
Kyle continued to enjoy very healthy ratings into the second season. They were so good that ABC Family ended up ordering 23 episodes, a longer season than most series on the major networks. In May 2007, ABC Family president Paul Lee proudly said, "Kyle XY is the highest-rated show ever on ABC Family; it is truly the show that has defined this network."
Loading ...
Unfortunately, that sunny outlook didn't continue for very long once the ratings started to fall in the latter part of season two. Kyle's third season's premiere episode attracted just 1.5 million viewers and other ABC Family shows outperformed it by a wide margin.
ABC Family has just announced the renewal of two shows — Greek and Lincoln Heights — as well as the cancellation of Kyle. No details were given for the cancellation but the decline in ratings, higher production costs, and castmember contracts coming up for renewal are all believed to be contributing factors.
The third season of Kyle kicked off on January 12th and is expected to conclude on March 16th. It seems likely that the network will continue to air all of the episodes on schedule.
Because the series finale was shot well before the cancellation news came down, it seems unlikely that all of the show's ongoing storylines will be resolved when the last episode airs. Will fans get the answers they're looking for or will they be left hanging forever?

Hasan Trial Set for Aug. 20 as Judge Denies Continuance
From a Fort Hood News Release
FORT HOOD, Texas, June 29, 2012 – The trial of an Army psychiatrist accused of killing 12 soldiers and a civilian employee here in a Nov. 5, 2009, shooting rampage that left 30 others injured will start as scheduled Aug. 20, a military judge ruled today.
Army Col. Gregory Gross denied Maj. Nidal M. Hasan's request for a further continuance until December.
Gross also submitted to questioning from Hasan's defense counsel concerning whether he was biased against the accused and ruled that he was not and that no implied bias existed. After announcement of that ruling, defense counsel stated their intention to appeal the military judge's refusal to recuse himself to the Army Court of Criminal Appeals.
In another matter pertaining to the case, the judge ruled that the commanding general of 3rd Corps and Fort Hood and his staff judge advocate must make themselves available for a joint interview by defense counsel concerning the referral of the case for trial by court-martial.
Hasan was not present in court today and viewed the proceedings via a closed-circuit feed in a trailer next to the courthouse. The judge announced that Hasan still was not clean-shaven as required by Army regulations, that the Army had declined to grant him a religious accommodation for the beard, and that the Army Court of Criminal Appeals refused to hear his appeal of the judge's decision last week to remove him from the courtroom because of the beard.
The judge is expected to rule on other pending motions and take up any new motions at a hearing scheduled for July 6.

Volvo Cars has now undercut the magical 100 grams carbon dioxide limit for the first time ever.
The new Volvo C30 DRIVe was presented at the car show in Frankfurt on Tuesday. Featuring Start/Stop technology, the latest version of the Volvo C30 DRIVe uses just 3.8 litres of diesel per 100 km.
Accordingly, it emits just 99 grams of CO2/km.
"This puts us among the absolute elite as regards low CO2 emissions," says Peter Ewerstrand, head of CO2-related issues at Volvo Cars.
Since the spring, the Volvo C30 1.6D DRIVe has been available with an advanced Start/Stop function that switches off the engine when the car is at a standstill, for instance at traffic lights or in traffic queues.
This together with a number of improvements in the areas of engine management and combustion technology brought the C30 DRIVe down to 104 grams of CO2/km.
Just a few months later, however, even greater advances are being made.
"For the first time in Volvo's history we have a car that emits as little as 99 grams of CO2 per km," says Peter Ewerstrand.
"We've left absolutely no stone unturned in our determination to reach this target, and it's wonderful that we succeeded," he continues.
The Volvo C30 DRIVe with Start/Stop can thus cover a massive 1380 kilometres on a single tank, 52 litres, of diesel.
The new model will appear on the market towards the end of this year.
This low fuel consumption is by no means the only new feature of the Volvo C30 in Frankfurt.
The facelift is much more comprehensive than is normally the case with Volvo's models. The entire front has been remodelled, including the front wings. The redesign gives the car a radical new appearance from the front, chiselling out a distinctive personality of its own that clearly distinguishes the new C30 from the Volvo S40 and V50.
In the middle of the grille is the new, larger iron mark just as in the rest of the Volvo range. The air intake has also grown in size and resembles that of the XC60. The grille has a unique new pattern.
"The C30 is enhancing its visual stature and self-confidence and this is entirely in line with Volvo Cars' design strategy. At the same time, the C30 has an expression all its very own. The new honeycomb pattern in the grille, for instance, means that all it takes is a quick glance in your rear-view mirror to see that this is a Volvo C30," says Fedde Talsma, Exterior Chief Designer at Volvo Cars.

Blind Loop Syndrome
What is blind loop syndrome?
Your digestive system breaks down the food you eat so your body can use it for fuel. Food moves from your stomach into your small intestine. There, nutrients are absorbed. The excess food is pushed into the colon and leaves the body as waste.
In blind loop syndrome, food is not able to follow the normal digestive route. Instead, it bypasses a section of your intestine.
Blind loop syndrome is also called:
- Stasis syndrome
- Stagnant loop syndrome
- Bowel bypass syndrome.
What causes blind loop syndrome?
Blind loop syndrome is often due to an overgrowth of bacteria in the intestine. This forces food to route around it. Because of the "blind loop" that is formed, the small intestine is shorter than normal. The intestines can't properly absorb nutrients. They are instead passed out of your body in waste.
Blind loop syndrome often occurs as a complication of abdominal surgery. The most common type of surgery that causes this is bowel-shortening surgery for obesity. In this surgery, part of the intestine is purposely bypassed.
Digestive problems may also trigger blind loop syndrome. It may occur as a complication of:
- Diverticulitis
- Peptic ulcer disease
- Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease and colitis)
- Other conditions or medicines that delay movement of nutrients through the intestine.
What are the symptoms of blind loop syndrome?
One of the main symptoms of blind loop syndrome is unexplained weight loss. This occurs when your small intestine can't digest food and absorb nutrients. When your body isn't getting the nutrients and fat it needs, weight loss occurs.
If severe bacterial overgrowth occurs it can rarely inflame your intestinal lining. And in a few cases the intestinal bacteria can get into the blood. This bacterial infection can cause:
- Fever
- Arthritis-like joint pain
- Skin rash or red bumps on the skin
- Inflamed tendons
- Muscle pain or aches
Poor absorption of nutrients and poor nutrition can cause a number of symptoms, such as:
- Frequent diarrhea
- Nausea or vomiting
- Belly (abdominal) swelling from fluid buildup
- Swelling of the legs
- Belly pain and cramping
- Stools that seem loose and fatty
- Fatigue or weakness
- Gas and bloating
How is blind loop syndrome diagnosed?
Your healthcare provider will ask about your symptoms, your medical, surgical, and family history. He or she will request tests to test for nutrient absorption, anemia, or to rule out other conditions. Tests may include:
- Blood tests to check for infections and nutrition status
- Breath tests to look for bacterial overgrowth
- Tests to check organ function
- Test to check for inflammation in the body
- Exam of stool for fecal fat, stool culture, parasites, white blood cells
- Imaging tests to evaluate the intestinal anatomy
- Possible colonoscopy or upper endoscopy to evaluate the intestinal lining
How is blind loop syndrome treated?
Healthcare providers can treat blind loop syndrome. You will likely take antibiotics. A short course of corticosteroids to reduce inflammation may also help control symptoms.
Sometimes you need surgery to remove the infected area. If obesity surgery caused blind loop syndrome, your surgeon may do another surgery to fix the problem.
What are the complications of blind loop syndrome?
If left untreated, blind loop syndrome may lead to poor nutrition. But even early on, blind loop syndrome can cause a lack of vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin B 12 and iron.
When should I call my healthcare provider?
If you notice any symptoms of blind loop syndrome, it's important to tell your healthcare provider. Be aware of the condition if you've had abdominal surgery or have a digestive disease such as inflammatory bowel disease. Blind loop syndrome can be treated. But if nutrients can't be absorbed, it can cause serious health problems.
Key points
- Blind loop syndrome occurs when food doesn't follow the normal digestion route and bypasses a section of your intestine.
- It can be caused by abdominal surgery, diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease, peptic ulcer disease, or an infection.
- One of the main symptoms of blind loop syndrome is unexplained weight loss. Gas and bloating are common from bacterial overgrowth.
- Other symptoms include fever and infection-type symptoms, and diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain and swelling.
- Blind loop syndrome is usually treated with antibiotics. Surgery may also be needed.
Next steps
Tips to help you get the most from a visit to your healthcare provider:
- Know the reason for your visit and what you want to happen.
- Before your visit, write down questions you want answered.
- Bring someone with you to help you ask questions and remember what your provider tells you.
- At the visit, write down the name of a new diagnosis, and any new medicines, treatments, or tests. Also write down any new instructions your provider gives you.
- Know why a new medicine or treatment is prescribed, and how it will help you. Also know what the side effects are.
- Ask if your condition can be treated in other ways.
- Know why a test or procedure is recommended and what the results could mean.
- Know what to expect if you do not take the medicine or have the test or procedure.
- If you have a follow-up appointment, write down the date, time, and purpose for that visit.
- Know how you can contact your provider if you have questions.
Cedars-Sinai has a range of comprehensive treatment options.

Slowdown on Sunday with Circles
At some point this year, my sewing slowed down to the point that it stopped.
First though, I'll head over to Kathy's Quilts for slow stitching Sunday.

This Virus Steals All Your Bitcoins
Bitcoin, the virtual currency that has sparked a digital gold rush, is now being targeted by malicious nerds seeking a quick payday. A new Trojan automatically scans for Bitcoins and steals them.
Infostealer.Coinbit, the name of the Trojan, could very well have been behind the $500,000 Bitcoin heist that made all the geeks grasp their wallet file a little tighter.
So, geeks, store your Bitcoins in a super-secret place nobody would ever look. Like, burn them onto a CD and then write "Shaq Sex Tape" on it in Sharpie. Be safe out there, or before you know it you'll be sifting through the crumbled bits of your virtual fortune. [Wired]

Beautiful Mr. Midnight is very aptly named. Yesterday was glorious here in Maryland, too. Only got up to about 70, but I opened the dining room window and got some fresh air in the house. It does give one hope that spring is on her way and let's hope she puts a rush on it. And I bought 2 bags of onion sets at Home Depot. Time to garden -- Yay!ReplyDelete
A beautiful black kitty! He looks a lot like my Maruschka.ReplyDelete
He's a gorgeous kitty, and what a spectacular photo! I love how the eyes seem to just float in the darkness! Keep this one around for the Halloween season! Thanks for sharing your country life with all of us!ReplyDelete
Hurrah for the heat wave.ReplyDelete
Yes, one of the nice things about living in a well broken in old place is not worrying about further dings, scrataches, and "decorations." They just blend right in with the older ones. It's a great cure for perfectionism!ReplyDelete
My dogs did the exact same thing to my back screen door. Now I have a doggie door! Saves me from getting up all evening to let them out.ReplyDelete

Cisco Systems has released patches to fix serious denial-of-service flaws in its Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) software, Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) software and the Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol (SRTP) library that's used in many products.
The Cisco WLC software contains two denial-of-service vulnerabilities, one of which is rated critical and could be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker through specially crafted HTTP requests sent to the device. This can cause a buffer overflow condition that, in addition to a device reload, might also allow for execution of arbitrary code on the device.
The second vulnerability, rated high, stems from how the Cisco WLC software handles Bonjour traffic and can be exploited in a similar manner as the HTTP one to cause a device reload.
A third DoS vulnerability was patched in the Cisco AireOS software that also runs on some of the company's Wireless LAN Controller devices. It can be exploited by an unauthenticated hacker by attempting to access a URL that is not generally accessible from and supported by the device's management interface.
The software, used in the Cisco ASA 5500-X Series Next-Generation Firewalls, Cisco ASA Services Module for Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches and Cisco 7600 Series Routers and the Cisco Adaptive Security Virtual Appliance (ASAv), has a flaw stemming from an insufficient validation of DHCPv6 packets.
The vulnerability affects the Cisco ASA Software only if it's configured with the DHCPv6 relay feature and can only be triggered by IPv6 traffic, Cisco said in an advisory.
Finally, a DoS vulnerability in libSRTP -- which could be exploited through specially crafted SRTP packets -- was fixed through software updates for multiple products that use the library for some features. The list of affected products is long but includes Cisco WebEx Meetings Server, Cisco Jabber, Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software, Cisco IOS XE Software and many Cisco voice and unified communications devices.
