Rumer Willis showed some serious butt crack on DWTS (PHOTOS)
We're not sure if it was a wardrobe malfunction or if DWTS was merely testing the limits of censorship, but this week we saw a way more of Rumer Willis' body than we ever expected.
More: Rumer Willis just isn't interested in romance right now
Willis killed it last night on ABC's Dancing with the Stars, scoring an impressive 33/40 from the judges. However, it was her scantily clad backside that caught most of the attention. We're not sure where her dad, Bruce, was at for the episode but we're sure pops was probably cringing.
The nude and sparkly getup immediately reminded us of that scandalous ensemble from that Britney Spears award show performance. Somehow, though, Willis' outfit was even more revealing. That might have something to do with the fact that all that bling seemed to be attached to nude netting, instead of nude fabric. Need proof? Even Willis posted an Instagram pic of her nearly bare booty.
More: She's not at all concerned with the competition, either
That's not just a wedgie, y'all. That's some serious crack shadow. And, yes, that's her super-cute sister posing with the butt in question.
Willis is always nabbing comparisons to her gorgeous mother, Demi Moore. The two look so much alike, it's insane. But Willis' revealing outfit may have been just the ticket she needed to shake off comparisons and prove she's her own woman. Girlfriend stunned in the outfit, so much so that Twitter is still talking about how awesome she looked and her killer moves. Not a single comment is drawing comparisons to her mama, though. Nicely done, Rumer! Your flawless look may be what finally puts you in your own permanent spotlight.

The headline on the MSNBC.com page reads: 'Occupy' protesters dig in against police, eviction notices — Denver officers break up camp; Portland, Salt Lake City, Oakland order evictions. I fear an approaching storm, one similar to that faced by the Bonus Army in the summer of 1932.
From Wikipedia:
The Bonus Army was the popular name of an assemblage of some 43,000 marchers—17,000 World War I veterans, their families, and affiliated groups—who gathered in Washington, D.C., in the spring and summer of 1932 to demand immediate cash-payment redemption of their service certificates. Its organizers called it the Bonus Expeditionary Force to echo the name of World War I's American Expeditionary Force, while the media called it the Bonus March. It was led by Walter W. Waters, a former Army sergeant.
Many of the war veterans had been out of work since the beginning of the Great Depression. The World War Adjusted Compensation Act of 1924 had awarded them bonuses in the form of certificates they could not redeem until 1945. Each service certificate, issued to a qualified veteran soldier, bore a face value equal to the soldier's promised payment plus compound interest. The principal demand of the Bonus Army was the immediate cash payment of their certificates.
From History.net:
Army Chief of Staff and Major General Douglas MacArthur watched a brigade of steel-helmeted soldiers precisely align themselves in a straight four-column phalanx, bayonets affixed to rifles. He nodded his head in satisfaction. Discipline was wonderful. Up ahead, Major George Patton kicked his heels against his mount, and the big horse reared forward to signal a line of cavalry. The riders drew their sabers, and the animals stepped out in unison, hoofs smacking loudly on the street. Five Renault tanks lurched behind. Seven-ton relics from World War I and presumably just for show, the old machines nonetheless left little doubt as to the seriousness of the moment. On cue, at about 4:30 p.m. on July 28, 1932, the infantry began a slow, steady march forward. Completing the surreal atmosphere, a machine gun unit unlimbered, and its crew busily set up.
This was no parade, although hundreds of curious office workers had interrupted their daily routines to crowd the sidewalk or hang out of windows along Pennsylvania Avenue between the White House and the Capitol to see what would happen. Up ahead, a group of weary civilians, many dressed in rags and ill-fitting, faded uniforms, waited in anticipation amid their sorry camp of tents and structures made from clapboard and sheets of tin covered in tar paper. Some loitered in the street. They had heard something was afoot — expected it after what happened earlier. Now, a murmur rose from the camp crowd. Upon seeing the Army's menacing approach, they were momentarily stunned, disbelieving.
Recovering their senses, a few of the men cursed and sent bottles and bricks flying toward the troops — ineffective weapons against so formidable a force. The missiles shattered on impact on the hard pavement or bounced off the flanks of horses and soldiers. Undaunted, the roughly 600 troops maintained their discipline with tight-lipped determination. The extra training MacArthur had recently ordered was paying off
With that context here are excerpts from the MSNBC report:
Tensions were rising at anti-Wall Street protests in three western cities on Friday as demonstrators in Denver, Portland, Salt Lake City and Oakland defied orders by police to dismantle their camps.
In Denver, police broke up an encampment at Civic Center park early Saturday evening.
Livestream video by protesters showed police firing tear gas and then picking up protesters' belongings that hadn't already been removed after demonstrators were ordered to remove personal property including tents and grills.
About 100 protesters moved toward the 16th Street Mall while chanting "Whose streets, our streets."
Reinforcements in Portland?
In Portland, police said they had received reports that protesters were digging a reinforced hole and fashioning makeshift weapons out of wood and nails after Mayor Sam Adams gave them until midnight on Saturday to clear out of two downtown parks.
Salt Lake City ban
In Salt Lake City, protest organizers vowed to resist an order by police chief Chris Burbank to clear out of Pioneer Park in downtown by 30 minutes after sundown Saturday.
Oakland issues eviction notices
In Oakland, where police and protesters have clashed several times over the past few weeks, organizers said they intended to stay in Frank Ogawa Plaza near city hall despite increasing pressure by authorities.
On Friday night, police handed out fliers at the Occupy Oakland encampment putting demonstrators on notice that they were violating the law by camping and having open fires.
The city issued another eviction notice on Saturday morning. It warns protesters that they do not have the right to camp in the plaza overnight and face immediate arrest and the removal of their tents, stoves, sleeping bags and other belongings.
Read the complete article from MSNBC.com here.
The Occupy Protests are gaining momentum, not loosing it. The demonstrations have popped up in major cities and smaller cities across the nation. Just as the protests in Tahrir Square early this year, and the Bonus Army protests in 1932, people gathered to express their grievances with their government. Like then, in an effort to demonstrate their collective resolve, many refused to leave the front lines of their protests. They camped, they erected shelters to protect themselves from the elements. and like then, they have been ordered to leave and refused.
I feel an approaching storm of rebellion, maybe even revolution, as the authorities across the nation attempt to thwart the collective will of the people. To the authorities I say, let them be. These demonstrations are peaceful. The only time violence occurs is when the authorities try to break them up.
As we saw with the Arab Spring, and the Bonus Army in 1932, you may win the battle, but you will not win the war.
In Orange County we have the Occupy demonstrations in Santa Ana and Irvine. In Irvine the city has granted permission for the demonstrators to camp out. In Santa Ana, that permission has not been granted. My suggestion to the Occupy Patriots of Orange County is to respect the laws which you face. Don't confront or provoke a conflict with the police. You are more effective by showing solidarity with the much larger protests around the country in a peaceful and law-abiding way.

Young carers are children or young people, 25 years or under, who help care for someone in their family who has a disability, mental illness, drug and/or alcohol dependency, chronic condition, terminal illness or who is frail.
Young carers are a hidden carer group, often not acknowledged for their caring contribution. It is estimated that 96,500 young people, aged 25 or under, living in NSW are carers [i].
While caring can result in positive outcomes for young people, for example gaining important skills and developing close family bonds; research shows that young carers face a range of challenges and difficulties associated with their caring role.
Young carers are less likely than their non-carer counterparts to complete their education and participate in employment; young carers often have a lack of time to participate in social and recreational activities, and many experience both physical and mental health problems as a result of caring [ii].
The Carers NSW Young Carer Program was developed to make a positive difference in the lives of young carers and their families through a range of initiatives aimed at reducing these challenges and increasing opportunities for positive outcomes.
The Young Carer Program supports and connects young carers through:
For more information, or to join the young carer community, visit the young carer website or Facebook page or call the Carer Line on 1800 242 636 (freecall from landlines, mobile rates apply).
The Young Carer Program is funded by Family and Community Services, Ageing, Disability and Home Care and the Australian Government Department of Social Services.

The Young Carers Count competition, launched during National Carers Week, is an exciting opportunity for young carers to get creative and share their story.
To enter, young carers aged 25 and under can share their story;
The winner will receive a camera equipment gift pack, valued at over $1,500 and three runners-up will each receive a smartphone accessories pack.

Watch This Space, a young carer awareness raising workshop, was launched in 2017 to help professionals identify and support young carers in a school setting. The youth-driven project delivers workshops in partnership with young carers, which gives professionals the opportunity to hear caring stories first hand.
Here is what schools are saying about these workshops:
"One of the best presentations from a government service or NGO I have ever seen/experienced."
"It was an outstanding presentation that should be done in all schools!"

"It's like a war, and in any war, there are casualties."
I was sitting in a café with a friend of mine. I was complaining about ad-blocking. How I thought it was wrong. How I felt that it threatened the very existence of an independent media. Above all, how outraged I was that people were reading my content without paying (of sorts) for it.
"Yes, but why do you think they do it?"
He had raised an interesting point. I know that advertising isn't ideal, especially digital advertising, which comes with its own privacy, usability, and security concerns.
Like most people, I hate rollover adverts and pop-ups. I'm conscious of the fact that far too many advertising networks have been infected with virus-laden adverts What Is Malvertising and How Can You Protect Yourself? What Is Malvertising and How Can You Protect Yourself? Beware: malvertising is on the increase, representing a considerable online security risk. But what is it, why is it dangerous, where is it hiding, and how can you stay safe from malvertising? Read More .
But is the situation really that bad? Do the benefits of ad-blocking outweigh the significant damage it does to online publishers?
Meet The AdBlockers
I think a lot of people in digital media – and I've been especially guilty of this – equate AdBlocking with theft. But according to PageFair's 2015 Ad Blocking Report, 45 million people in the United States use AdBlock. The total figure worldwide is around 200 million.
Their 2016 Mobile Ad Blocking Report states that mobile ad-blocking is massively popular in the developing world. Around 61% of Indian users have some form of advert-blocking browser installed. In Indonesia, that figure soars to 66%.
It seems ludicrous (and it is) to think of all these people as thieves. It seems far more likely that they instead have some kind of legitimate grievance Publishers Need to Stop Whining About Adblock Publishers Need to Stop Whining About Adblock Ad-blocking seems like a natural option for any consumer because of a simple reason: it's an easy way to get rid of an annoyance. Read More with the way advertising has adapted for the digital age. I wanted to find out what that grievance was.
My first point of call was Andre, from South Africa. Speaking to him was a challenge. We had arranged to talk on a Monday evening, but a fire alarm went off in his apartment block, forcing him to flee outside. We rescheduled our interview for the following day. When the Skype call eventually connected, I got a glimpse of what it was like to be a South African Internet user.
"Sorry… Bad connection… Saying? … Hello?"
The call lagged and stuttered, and then transformed into an incoherent blur of pixels. It looked like a Piet Mondrian painting. I had to struggle to catch each sentence. Eventually, we gave up, and I called him from my cell phone.
South Africa has some of the best Internet on the continent, and a thriving startup scene to show for it. Internet penetration is significant. Despite that, there are some problems. For fixed-line connections, the state-owned ISP, Telkom, has a near-monopoly.
This lack of competition has meant that South Africans pay more for their Internet than someone in the United States or England would, and they get a worse service. Data caps are routine, and speeds are way slower.
"I used to run out of data in the middle of the month. After that, I'd have to pay per gigabyte," Andre explained. "When you have to deal with a cap, it makes you really conservative with how you use the Internet."
I asked him to elaborate. "Well, if I see a video that I think I'll watch again, I'll download a copy. I also block adverts as a matter of routine."
He has a fair point. In recent years, websites have become bloated with adverts and JavaScript libraries, to the point where the average size is now 2.3 megabytes – or the equivalent of a compressed copy of the original Doom. Blocking adverts, therefore, means reducing the size of a website. It means that pages load quicker, and do not count against a data limit.
And as Andre said, if he goes over his data limit, he has to pay. That means he's effectively paying to watch adverts.
Imran, from Karachi, Pakistan, has similar complaints. He's part of the younger, switched-on generation. He's university educated, and belongs to the nation's thriving middle class.
Like most of his friends, he accesses the Internet through an LTE router that is constantly plugged into the wall, and his trusty Android smartphone that runs FireFox and AdBlock Plus.
"Our Internet is slow as it is. Why should I make it even slower with things I don't care about?"
He has a point. According to the Pakistan Express Tribune, Pakistan has the fourth-slowest LTE speeds in the entire world. With most people connecting through LTE rather than fixed-line connections, this is an issue that affects a lot of people.
Imran also is adamant that since he installed an ad-blocker, his battery life has improved significantly. While this isn't typically an issue for those in the West, Pakistan suffers from an overstretched power network, and is frequently hit by rolling blackouts. Anything that gives him an extra hour or two of battery life is welcome.
There's A Happy Medium in All This
My friend was right. Ad-blocking is a war. There are two conflicting sides who often seem irreconcilable, like hardened enemies.
One side is the publishers and creators who insist they have a right to get paid. As a writer myself, I'm overwhelmingly sympathetic to this viewpoint. I know that I work incredibly hard, and I'm infuriated when people tell me that I have no right to get paid for the work I do.
But on the flip side, there's another argument which says that advertising has become too terrible to bear, particularly for those living in areas where the Internet infrastructure isn't all that great. Since advertising isn't getting any better, they've chosen to disconnect from it entirely.
Opera is one company that embodies this conflict. It runs its own advertising network called Opera MediaWorks, which focuses overwhelmingly on a barely-tapped resource – mobile users. If anyone has something to lose by the unstoppable march of ad-blocking software, it's Opera.
But early this year, it also released an updated version of its browser which includes a built-in ad-blocker.
Opera has made this front-and-center of its web browser. When you install it for the first time, you're prompted to activate it. It can also be turned on in Settings. Just check the box that says "Block ads and surf the web up to three times faster".
If there's a site you wish to support by whitelisting them, you can do so by clicking "Manage Exceptions".
From this point forwards, you'll see a tiny blue shield in your browser. This shows that adblock is turned on. Clicking on it will show how many adverts have been blocked.
You can even do a speedtest to see how fast a website loads with and without adverts.
Surely it's a massive contradiction for Opera to run an advertising wing, whilst simultaneously updating its browser to hide adverts? Perhaps. But it's important to remember that Opera has a significant market-share in places where Internet access is least developed, and often most expensive. Even with Opera MediaWorks, it still aims to deliver a better browsing experience to users — especially those on mobile — even if that means occasionally blocking ads.
The Norwegian company has always tried to service this market through features of its browser, like Turbo Mode. The decision to include an ad-blocker and a battery-saver mode How Ditching Chrome For Opera Will Improve Your Battery Life How Ditching Chrome For Opera Will Improve Your Battery Life There's a chance Google Chrome might be your laptop battery life problem. Thankfully, Opera might have the solution, with its built-in battery saver mode. Here's what you need to know. Read More only seeks to serve this often neglected market further.If this means that more people can enjoy a better Internet experience, I'm all for it.

When will the winner be announced? The giveaway ended long ago...
when will the winner be announced ??
who won?
Who is the winner? Opera!
do you know if gleam.io giveaways always show up who the winner is or maybe sometimes the giver communicate in other way as well?
oh, so its not always announced on the contest widget? thanks man
Then who is the winner ????
Man, Opera's Ad-Block is rock!
i have used many browsers but opera suits me the best. it has all the features and rocking fast.
Man, ads always end up introducing a rootkit to my pc. So why bother thinking not all ads are bad? Even ones on yahoo end up having this issue. So why not use an adblocker? These sites don't give an f if I get a virus, so why should I care about their supposed lost revenue in lost ad revenue?
It only takes one bad apple to ruin the lot of them, so why bother taking a risk? Viruses/trojans/rootkits reek chaos, not too mention stolen passwords, accounts, and even credit card info. To me, ad blocker stays on all the time. Mobile or desktop or laptop. Nail down the viruses and blinking ads, then I might care enough about the issue.
OMG!! This is so amaziiiing!!
you just wrote an article about blocking ads, yet you just used another way of delivering ads. you infused it into the article as a giveaway. not only did you advertised to me, but you implanted two distinct services into my brain. Opera for desktop or mobile and a Dell laptop which im actually about to buy. still deciding if getting a Dell or not. you see, i dont have to see intrusive and annoying ads on the side or left or all over the article. you just beautifully wrote it all in the article.
The game changer; Dell Back in competition,
Wish this time get lucky and win
lmao all this giveaway are so fake the u cant notice so easy come on how many things u have to giveaway and how come every time u have more than 3 give away
I use adblock so I don't get viruses. The only time I have ever gotten viruses in my life they have come through ads that weren't screened or served properly and allowed people to inject viruses. And these were major platforms. I will never leave myself vulnerable again.
This laptop is so dreamy!
how do i enter
I want it
Wow its perfect!
these Laptops definitely makes life smoother.
Wow, I wish I could affort one of these marvelous laptops.
I guess the Dell XPS 9350-1340SLV 13.3 Inch Laptop giveaway is for US residents only? I didn't see a disclaimers or contest rules.
video ads are the worst. Hope to try blocking with opera
Thank u Makeuseof for giving us awesome chance
A few ads are one thing but when they literally make it impossible to post on or use the website it has gone too far & you are driving away your customers/readers.
I understand that websites need/use money from ads to make money/survive.
If those sites object people using adblockers then why don't they use a paid subscription model?
My guess would be that they would struggle to find enough paying subscribers to survive.
It's sort of catch 22 situation.
never new thats how internet works for some countries
This is good timing for this competions! My desktop is dying and I need a new computer, thinking it is about time to have a lap top, however as a senior I wonder what I need given I am a senior and wonder how long a computer life span I need. But I have 3 young grands coming up to eventually own mine! I love ad blocks but admit I have not yet tried Opera! So please consider me entered. ;-)
I have to say that I love Makeuseof, they are an excellent site to get the most up to date info about anything doing with computers and many other things. If I need to know something I go to Makeuseof and get the info I need. I trust their info because they have some very intelligent people working for them and they know what they are talking about. I have never been steered wrong on anything I have looked up. I have learned a lot from the too, there is so much useful information on this site, it great! I hope you guys/gals never go away because you have helped me a lot and I look forward to learning more from you in the future too. Great Job Makeuseof, never stop being you. PS: would love to win too, but if I don't that's ok too, will still be a big fan of Makeuseof always. Michelle.
I have used Opera for about a year now and I love it, you don't get that crashing like you do with IE and foxfire is bulky and has problems too, Opera loads quick with the ad blocker and I have not had any issues with Opera since I have installed it. Love the speed dial page too, put all your favorites right on one page, excellent idea. I don't have any problems or complaints of Opera and will be using if for a long time to come. Thanks Opera, finally a browser that you can actually use. Michelle.
How about sites with adblocker blockers? They detect the extensions and make you turn them off and half the time they STILL won't let you read the page.
I would like to win with makuseof
A great website to learn and win.
We would love to own a new computer for home and working from home. We all currently share one computer but I have to say I do enjoy my Dell Desktop all-in-one even if it is getting out of date.
i use a 2nd gen core with 1gb ram and no gpu so i dont know if i will ever win but good luck to all of you!!!
not that cheap
It might be me!
WOW. Pick me, pick me! Your next winner!!! Show me the money!!! It would be a dream come true and means more to me than anyone else to win. Starving artist here desperately needs the Dell to work and eat. Winner, winnner. Chicken dinner. A life changing experience. Top of my bucket list. Thank you for the awesomeness, the contest, and generosity. Dear Santa: I've been nice. My X-Mas wish this year is to win this contest.
If you want people to stop stealing from you, shut down your website. Problem solved.
Third World Indeed...
...With Some Single Web Pages Using 700MB+ Of RAM, Whoever Still Has A 32Bit OS Is Getting Screwed The More And More...
...On That Note, Whoever Introduced Never Ending Web Pages, Without A Configuration OptOut, Should Be Executed.
Been using Opera for some time now, it is a good browser and you can use chrome extensions in it also. Just wished that chrome apps like videostream would work in it.
Can people from America win?
The referral link doesn't work properly, it links to a "Page not found"
How can I enter the contest if I keep getting a message that says, "has already been used to log in to Gleam."
"the state-owned ISP, Telkom, has a near-monopoly.This lack of competition has meant that South Africans pay more for their Internet than someone in the United States or England would, and they get a worse service. "
Imagine if people could apply that concept to ALL (near) monopoly services ! Including government services too,maybe :)
"One side is the publishers and creators who insist they have a right to get paid. "
Really ? A right to have someone else pay you ? Seems a little extreme to me - even for you Mathew. I really fail to see how that obligation falls upon Internet users or even those sites posting the ads unless there was an agreement/contract.
I prefer that radical and"extremist" liberal idea of free and voluntary associations (for those with full adult rights) where people get paid according to the contracts and agreements they enter into through their free and voluntary associations..
Your "Download now" button to download Opera takes me to gleam.io and asks me to create an account. Can you please fix this?

China summons Indian ambassador over Prime Minister Modi's visit to disputed border region
BEIJING – China summoned India's ambassador over Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to a disputed border region in the Himalayas, a long-festering irritant in relations between the Asian giants.
Modi on Friday visited the northeastern Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, an immense territory of nearly 84,000 square kilometers (more than 32,000 square miles) that China claims as part of its Tibet region.
Modi marked the 28th anniversary of Arunachal Pradesh being declared a state, opened a train line and called for hydropower projects to spur regional growth.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry said late Saturday that Vice Foreign Minister Liu Zhenmin had called in Indian Ambassador Ashok Kantha to express "strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition" to the visit, saying it undermined China's territorial sovereignty.
Liu said China places importance on developing relations with India. It called for New Delhi not to take any action that may complicate the issue and stick to resolving it through bilateral negotiations.
China and India fought a brief but bloody frontier war in 1962. They agreed to a line of actual control in 1996 and began talks on settling the dispute. While analysts see little danger of a conventional war over the border, frequent skirmishes make it difficult to achieve a lasting resolution.

It's becoming quickly apparent that Riddick star Vin Diesel has some of the loosest lips in Hollywood, and his latest revelation is one of the most intriguing. In a lengthy interview with presenter Maria Menounos, Diesel teased a future "merging of brands" for Marvel Studios.
While we can't be sure of what Diesel means - his answers are as always, deliciously cryptic - it's definitely related to his previous revelation that he originally met with Marvel to talk about a new Phase Three movie. Here's a part of his interview with Menounos:
"When I met with Marvel it wasn't for anything immediate, it was to talk about a film that would be introduced in the Phase 3 part of Marvel, not for a few years. "You wouldn't be able to see it for a few years. In my mind, Marvel were doing it right, they were enrolling me at the ground level which is the best way to enroll me.
I had heard people over the last year, people saying on the social media page saying "What's up Vin? Why aren't you going to Marvel? Why aren't you doing anything with Marvel? It would be a crime of cinematic history for you not to be in (Marvel movies)"
So I was thinking "This Marvel thing is really becoming really important for these people. What can I do? What should I think about?"
I get the call, I go down to Marvel. A great meeting. It was even talking about something so big I can't even talk about because it's like the merging of brands in a way, which I won't get into. That was something way, way, way, way, way down the road."
As we know, his appearance at Comic-Con lead to a more immediate role as the tree-monster Groot in James Gunn's upcoming Phase Two Guardians of the Galaxy movie.
"We had agreed not to say anything about the specifics of the meeting. So, now I've got the fans that I love more than I love the industry, than I love everybody... I was thinking 'I've got to be real with them, I've got to tell them something' and yet I want to be respectful of people's process and if people like to do a slow reveal, you know?
Quite frankly, it would have been too much to say and it might have been anticlimactic to say 'We're working on something for 2016' and so I just said 'You're going to hear some really big news' and I left at the end of that and it went crazy. The next Monday, Marvel talks to me and says 'We're going to send something over in two weeks. We want to focus on the 2016 but we also want to, if possible, answer this growing request for something now.'"
Diesel's claims are vague enough that our imaginations can run riot for what this collaboration in 2016 could be. A "merging of brands" could suggest merging Marvel Studios' brands with another brand entirely - Sony's Spider-Man, perhaps? Or, as some are speculating, Diesel could be referring to himself as a brand, which is a little hilarious.
Whatever the case, we can be sure that Vin Diesel and Marvel aren't done with each other yet.

Lee Marek will deliver what is sure to be an interesting and engaging lecture "25 Years of Science on the Late Show with David Letterman, Part 1" to the Ozark local section of the American Chemical Society on Thursday, April 13 at 6:00 p.m. in Temple Hall 002. Join us for light refreshments at 5:30 PM.
From Lee: The audience for the David Letterman show is not unlike a classroom full of high school students or college freshman! It's sitting there daring you to be interesting! One way to capture attention is to do demonstrations that are exocharmic [to radiate charm-- make you want to watch] and to be a bit weird/eccentric. Good teaching is part knowledge, part preparation and part theater and so is doing science on THE LATE SHOW. More important you need a frame of mind somewhat off center to survive doing chemistry on national TV or for a class of 440 as I had this fall. As Robert Maynard Hutchins said, "My idea of education is to unsettle the minds of the young & inflame their intellects." I embrace Hutchins' idea- sometimes literally both in my classroom, in science programs and the David Letterman Show! I use what is called the "Phenomenological" approach to teaching science -- introducing a topic with a demonstration or lab so that students have something concrete on which to focus. I use demonstrations as exocharmic motivators to captivate student interest and to focus on the day's topic. To influence high school kids, college freshman, or the general public like the Letterman show audience, you need "presence", to capture their attention. We live in a world of the 15-second commercial, internet, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter and the National Enquirer. As teaching professionals we need to compete, to show the people that there is something interesting and important in learning, something about which "inquiring minds really do want to know." It boils down to "Education is not in the filling of a pail, but in the lighting of a fire" William Butler Yeats. I will present a number of video clips from the 35 Letterman shows I have been on in the last 25 years- including one used on his 10th anniversary show and one that was up for an Emmy award. These demos will range from the 8 foot ball of fire shooting across the stage, to the Dyn-o-might soap. I will describe the time I dissolved the set, discuss the 1000 pounds of thermite demo [never done] and show the time the 500 pounds of Oobleck got lose. There will be a clip of the time I almost took out Bozo on WGN! If time allows, I will show some of the other work I did with WTTW, FOX, Inside Edition and U.K. TV. I will also do a few of the simple demos with the audience. My web site has some demos and more information. http://www2.chem.uic.edu/marek/

Two of the laptops are hard wired into the DGL-4500 since my roommates basically use them as desktops, but also use the N signal. Our HTPC is also wired in. Those 3 machines plus the other router and the uplink occupy those 5 ports. In the DD-WRT router the xbox and two desktops are connected which occupy the 4 non-'internet' ports.
I was really hoping that someone could help me streamline this situation since we are quite frankly out of ports but would like to add another router in our house, which is 120 years old so the chicken wire in the plaster walls seems to practically turn each room into a Faraday Cage.
I am willing to add something like this switch or this router. I also have about 3000ft of cat6 sitting in my closet so I have no problem running new wires.
I apologize for all of the information I just regurgitated onto your screen, but I'll be happy to clarify any information that seems fuzzy. I've also attached an excruciatingly detailed diagram. Thanks!

Winter is just around the corner and it is well past time to begin preparations for the harsh, cold weather. Being a homeowner comes with lots of responsibilities and one of those is winterizing your home. Below you will discover 5 home improvement tips that will get you ahead of Father Winter.
Cleaning Gutters
One of the most dreaded tasks that a homeowner will be forced to tackle is gutter cleaning. Not only do you have to drag that heavy ladder all the way around your home, but you have to clean those smelly dying leaves out of the gutter. If you fail to complete this task, before the onset of winter, your gutters may become so full and heavy that they will crumble to the ground.
You can purchase a gutter cleaning tool that attaches to your water hose, so you clean the gutters from the ground. Of course, there is one downside to using this tool, which is its inability to get rid of the soggy leaves, which tend to stick to the bottom of the gutter. It seems that your best bet will be to climb that ladder and manually dip the leaves out.
Clean Decks
Many homeowners choose the fall season to clean their decks. If you reside around a lot of trees, you will definitely notice a buildup of mossy and sappy residue on your decks. This can become very hazardous, especially when wet, so to decrease the risks of falls, you should scrub your decks clean.
You will find many over the counter deck cleaning solutions at your local big box store. It may be a good idea to pick up a stiff bristled broom, as well.
Air Conditioning Duct
It is time for air conditioning duct cleaning again. Now you may need to hire a professional HVAC service technician to properly clean your ducts. Another option that may be open to you is renting a duct cleaning machine. While this will be a timely task, it will save you a lot of money that can be used for Christmas holiday shopping.< wastes, you should caulk around your doors, windows, and indoor/outdoor plumbing pipes. You would be surprised with how much warm air could escape in and out of your home through these tiny crevices. By caulking gaps, cracks, and crevices in and around your home, you will be saving on energy wastes and preventing your energy bill from soaring out of control.
Repairing Leaky Faucets
Water wastes are not only harmful for the environment, but it can damage the wallet. Instead of watching those faucets drip, you should head to the big box store and purchase some plumbing supplies. While you are at it, be sure to fix those outdoor spigots, because you definitely do not want them to freeze up this winter.

During her meeting with Mamnoon Hussain in Islamabad, Mrs. Roberta Pinotti said that it cannot be allowed to go on.
She said that Italy will apprise the international community about what is going on in Indian held Kashmir.
The president condemned violation of human rights by Indian armed forces and use of brutal means to suppress the peaceful struggle of the Kashmiris for attainment of their rights.

"Regardless of the merits of this car, you really still think that the most energy efficient way to move a car around is the 120-year old internal combustion engine?"
Try reading what I posted again.
Electric cars will be the solution. In countries that don't produce the majority of electricity from burning oil and gas.
In the mean time, more efficient small turbo-charged petrol engines are the way to go.
Not half-arsed eco-bling solutions like Toyota's Prius.
Plug-in cars in a country where most electricity is generated by Gas/Coal: FAIL
Hybrids: An electric car dragging a combustion engine/transmission/fuel tank around
or a conventional car lugging electric motors and a massive battery pack around: FAIL
Better idea would be to switch to small, highly tuned turbo petrol solution such as
FPT's TwinAir, if you want to be eco-minded about your personal transport.
Because "renewables" in the UK are an Eco-scam:
No amount of wind turbines and PV panels will solve the UKs looming energy crisis.
And the amount of energy expended in obtaining the resources for and then fabricating PV panels will always be more than they generate. (Assuming dirty panels, on fixed roof mounts in a northern European climate.)
Thumbs-up for the efficiency drive though.

The 2014 NHRA Toyota Summernationals was characterized by record runs over the weekend at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in Englishtown, New Jersey, continuing the precedent this season of unexpected wins and thrilling racing.
Australia's NHRA rookie contender, Richie Crampton, went from 'Down Under' to the peak of the Top Fuel racing world defeating a very tough Doug Kalitta in the final round of Top Fuel competition.
As only the second Australian-born pro winner in NHRA history, Crampton also became the 100th different driver to win a Top Fuel event.
"Has this really happened?" Crampton said. "I'm absolutely over the moon with this win. I already know I'm the luckiest guy in the pit and now we've proven it. This is beyond anything I could have ever imagined to go from a crew guy to standing here with a Wally (trophy) in just a few months time.
"I'm so humbled that GEICO, Lucas Oil, and Toyota showed faith in me and gave me this awesome opportunity. I'm really quite stunned at the moment."
Adding a special twist to the occasion, Crampton's father Al was on the starting line for the memorable moment. Crampton's parents are visiting from Adelaide, South Australia, primarily to help with new baby girl Emma, whom Crampton and his longtime girlfriend Stephanie Laski welcomed into the world on May 20th.
"The timing was perfect," Crampton said. "I had a really tearful moment with Dad at the top end when he arrived down there. He's the reason I'm racing. The sacrifices him and my mum (June) made taking me to go-kart races and the drags back home when I was a boy, all the encouragement, I simply wouldn't be here without them.
"The only problem is Mum's back in Indiana with Stephanie and she'll be quite upset she missed this, I'm sure. I can't wait to get home and share this moment with everyone there."
After qualifying No. 2 on the grid, Crampton seemed the clear favorite in the opening round until he noticed his right front wheel was going flat as he backed up from the prerace burnout.
"I'd never had that happen, so I didn't know whether to give up or just go for it," he said. "I decided to just go and it was surprising how well the car steered considering the rubber was shredding the entire way down the track."
Crampton then had to pedal his car in both the quarter and semi-finals to get to the other end, outdriving JR Todd and reigning world champion Shawn Langdon in the process.
The final against top qualifier Kalitta was a straight-up drag race with Crampton's time of 3.819 seconds at 320.51 mph edging out Kalitta's 3.848 ET at 317.34 mph. Including the reaction times, Crampton's margin of victory was just .009-second.
"Doug's has had the car this year so far, so to better him that round was a real accomplishment, " said Crampton.
"I bet this news will ring across Australia pretty well. I'm doing my best to represent Australian drag racing, and I know we have a lot of folks keeping up with us down there. I bet some pints will be downed at the pubs tonight!"
Cruz Pedregon powered the Snap-On Tools Toyota Camry that he calls 'El Guapo' to the front of the pack in Friday's qualifying 1st, the 56th of his career, and on Sunday he completed his winning mission.
Pedregon kicked off his excellent weekend setting the front end of a possible new National ET record with the quickest Funny Car elapsed time in NHRA history of 3.959 seconds. The run might have been quicker if he hadn't lost a cylinder towards the end, giving him a speed of 310.48 mph.
"We had such monster early runs on Friday," Pedregon said. "It's like a tiger by the tail, a snake by the tail. It was pretty aggressive."
He needed a 3.999 ET to back it up, but on raceday, he went for the win lights instead of the record
Starting from the pole, the Cruzer struggled mightily in the first three eliminations trying to calm down his powerful Toyota Hot Rod, but eventually took out Terry Haddock, Tommy Johnson, Jr., and Jack Beckman.
Pedregon finally proved he was the star of the Funny Car field, going from No. 1 qualifier to the race victory with a performance of 4.126 at 301.33 over Del Worsham in his DHL Camry in the final. The win was a relief for Pedregon, whose team has struggled early this season.
"It was a tremendous points day," said Pedregon, who finished behind Courtney Force last weekend in Topeka. "To say I'm excited would be an understatement, but I also feel relieved a little bit. We've dug ourselves a pretty good hole this year."
The win was Pedregon's 35th of his career and first of the season. With the victory, Pedregon tied NHRA legend Don Prudhomme for fourth on the all-time Funny Car wins list.
"Prudhomme is my hero, and it means a lot (to tie him)," Pedregon said. "I've been doing this a long time. I've had plenty of opportunities, but I think my biggest accomplishment is the fact that I have been doing it so long in different scenarios. To be able to do this at this level and maintain it 20 years later means everything to me."
Del Worsham reset the track speed record on Friday with his 3.994 run at 321.04 in his DHL Camry, good enough for the No. 2 seed.
Reigning Pro Stock drag racing champion Jeg Coughlin Jr. continued his torrid pace of late with yet another victory Sunday. Over three consecutive weekends, Coughlin has raced to two wins and a runner-up result, catapulting him from ninth to second place in the Mello Yello championship standings.
"This makes a great 'Happy Birthday' for crew chief Mark Ingersoll, who works alongside Adam Hornberger in tuning these two J&J Racing Mopars," Coughlin said. "Both the JEGS.com team and Allen (Johnson's) team on the other side of the pit did a great job today.
"These last three weekends have been a helluva hat trick for J&J Racing, winning all three races. I got Atlanta and Englishtown and A.J. won in Topeka, so we're on a great run."
The victory, the 58th of Coughlin's Pro Stock career, wasn't exactly easy. The track in Round 1 looked a lot better than it was with only five out of 16 cars making it down the dragstrip under full power. Coughlin wasn't one of the lucky ones to make it down cleanly, but he was able to gather his car together and limp to the finish line quicker than opponent Kenny Delco.
"That was a scare," Coughlin said. "Kenny's a hometown hero and I know they wanted to win. The track just wasn't there and neither of us managed to launch correctly. It was some violent shake and I had to let the car settle before I was able to get back on the gas and get down the track. Those moments seem to last forever.
"The guys worked on it, softened the launch sequence a touch, and we came back and ran a decent time of 6.586 seconds against Shane Gray. We worked on it some more and really had a pass against Dave Connolly in a great side-by-side race (6.524 to 6.535) and that got us to the final."
Lining up against multi-time champion Greg Anderson in the money round, Coughlin was on his game once again, peeling off a 6.510 at 213.94 mph to earn the trophy over a tire-shaking Anderson, who had to abort his run.
"Englishtown is extra special because it's one of the original races. I remember my dad racing here way back when, and I always dreamed of this place when I was growing up. To have won here a handful of times is quite humbling."
It might have been Jeg's day, but Erica Enders-Stevens had a great weekend performance-wise in her Elite Motorsports Chevy Camaro as she reset both ends of the Pro Stock national record with her 6.464 second ET on Sunday and 215.55 mph speed in Friday's qualifying.
Andrew Hines defeated Screamin' Eagle Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson teammate Eddie Krawiec to take the Pro Stock Motorcycle victory at Englishtown. It was the second win for Hines at Raceway Park.
"We are back," Hines said. "I think we put an exclamation point on that this weekend. We've been digging the last year and a half to get back to where we were. I've always said that racing gets in the way of our R&D and this winter we had a chance to get a lot of work done and we're starting to reap the benefits."
A three-time Pro Stock Motorcycle world champion, Hines recorded his second win of the season and 34th of his career. He leaves Englishtown having increased his points lead.
The NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series continues in Bristol, Tenn., with the 14th annual Ford NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals at Bristol Dragway, June 13-15.

Meeting at US Embassy on International Adoption and the Hague
Sorry that it has taken me this long to give you a report about the meeting on Thursday. I was exhausted by the time I arrived back at the orphanage late in the afternoon. I had to go to the market for food and also work on some things in my office. Then Friday, I thought the US Consulate Adoption staff was coming at 10 AM, but then received a call at 3 PM saying they could not make it after all! We really needed to talk about some things for our adoptions who are at the visa stage, so we discussed things over the phone instead.
What I am writing is mainly for American Families. I will write two updates on the meeting since I lost the last half of this update which covered more general information.
The meeting on Thursday was great! One of the most informative meetings and interesting that I've ever attended! Lots of key players in the adoption process in Haiti were there. IBESR Staff, the chief judge from from the Civil court and both Children Judges, the Emmigration/Immigration staff, the Archives Staff, the Mayor of Delmas Staff, Embassy of Spain staff, Foreign adoption agencies and 3 creches. There was also staff representing the US Consulate adoption unit and the USCIS (Immigration).
I'm going off subject for a second…bear with me here….
Staff at the US Consulate in Haiti changes frequently. It is difficult to get to know anyone very well before they leave. Many of the staff at the windows who talk to us about the visas and our adoption cases are only there for about 18 months. We have a new Adoption Chief who will be here 3 years. I believe she has been in Haiti now about 1 1/2 months. Her name is Ms. Chinwe Obianwu and she is very open to communication between her office and the adoptive parents and the creches. The adoption section email is email@example.com. One of the American officers checks this email daily. I would recommend only writing them if you are having problems or questions once your file gets to their office.
The Chief officer for US Immigration is Mr. Hichem Kefi. He spoke at the meeting and stated that he will be leaving his position in the next few months. Hopefully, his replacement will come and work with him before Mr. Kefi leaves Haiti. He is also very open to trying to answer parents' and providers questions that they might have about cases.
My first contact with Ms. Obianwu in the adoption section was after we had received an email from someone in the adoption section who accused my staff of making a fraudulent birth certificate. They wrote to us when we inquired about why a case was taking so long.
"She was unable to simply schedule the visa interview, as you suggest, because the birth document that your organization had submitted for the child was fraudulent. The consular officer turned the case around the same day, and has requested that our investigators go to the National Archives to investigate the documentation of this child's birth. As you can understand, the consular officer must ensure that the data put on the visa to the United States is trustworthy, and it is not possible for her to base it on a false birth certificate.
One of the things that most slows down adoptions cases in Haiti is the suggestion of fraud. If you were the person involved in obtaining the fraudulent birth certificate for the adoptive parents—or you know of who might have done this in your organization–you could certainly help the family now by letting us know from whom you obtained it, and whether you know of any reason why your organization wouldn't simply request a legitimate civil document from the Archives or via SogExpress or Unitransfer? There might be a good explanation for this mistake, and thank you in advance for any ideas you might offer."
Needless to say, I was livid! I immediately wrote back and asked for an appointment to discuss this in person. I stated that in 23 years in Haiti, I had never knowingly given the US Consulate a false document and I had worked hard to keep our reputation above reproach! I didn't appreciate the tone of their email and I asked for them to show me proof that the birth certificate was fraudulent. We even had an extrait from Archives that was legalized and the signatures on it verified and we had received it from SogExpress!
We did not hear anything for many days and then I received a call to apologize for the false accusation from the adoption unit. The birth certificate was valid after all. It just seems that in the eyes of the US Government more papers are fraudulent then good in Haiti. We need to prove our innocence because they are assuming we are all passing them false documents.
I understand that a new officer comes in hearing all of the "horror" stories first. They only tell them about the orphanages and creches that have done serious harm to families and children. Why don't they have a list of orphanages whose adoptions are usually really clean and straight? I remember some officers telling me how they knew when we came with our documentation that it would be in order and very clear. They could count on it! If anything was missing, they knew I would have it at the orphanage and it was just a mistake if something wasn't in the dossier. More than once, if something was missing, it was buried on THEIR desk somewhere because I always wrote down every document I gave them and gave them a copy and kept a copy for myself. When they opened an envelope from GLA, they knew exactly what was inside it!
So what I'm trying to tell you, adoptive parents, is that with new Heads of the Units for Adoption and US Immigration is there will be a learning curve here. There will be changes and when these people leave and new ones come, they will change again due to different interpretation of the policies and laws.
I really like Ms. Obianwu and hope we will be able to work well together, but we have to accept that there are changes we will have to get used to.
So here is one change that AMERICAN Adoptive Parents need to know today…
Once you receive the email saying your child has a visa appointment, DO NOT PLAN AT THAT TIME TO COME TO HAITI! They are changing the way they will be issuing visas from this time forward. They will be asking for the child and creche personnel to come for the visa appointment and then the Adoption Unit officers will study the dossier. If they have any questions about the biological family's relinquishment or the abandonment of a child, they will then investigate this or if the validity of any document is questioned they will need to look into it. So it can take 4 to 8 weeks maybe after USCIS approval of the I-604 before the visa will issued. I was told that hopefully it will be less than 8 weeks and more like 4 weeks or less.
I told Ms. Obianwu that we assumed that these were the things that USCIS was checking in the 8 weeks they took to run the dossier through their Fraud Department! US Families are going to freak out if it takes 3 or 4 months after the adoption is finished before a visa can be issued. Only the USA takes so long to issue a visa for a child! It makes no sense…
Personally, I'm hoping that once they have done this for a while, then maybe it will go back to a more normal time schedule for the issuing of visas for adoptions. We have been told over and over that adoptions are there number one priority, but boy, it is a long drawn out process to get a child a US Visa!
I wrote a LONG update about the meeting and went to send and it disappeared! I had worked on writing it for 4 hours! So this is part of it and I will try and rewrite the last part later.
Because as you all know…
Life in Haiti Goes On….

Perspective: Striking a Balance
The retail build of Exchange Server 2007 has been available for almost two months as an evaluation version (which you can download at
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/eval/exchange/default.mspx), and a few enterprising IT pros are already talking about their Exchange Server 2003 to Exchange 2007 migrations. Mike Dragone, who wrote about his experiences testing the Exchange 2007 beta in "Run Exchange 2007 Under Virtual Server 2005", is undertaking a small-scale migration from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007 on his home-office Exchange server and has budgeted for a larger-scale Exchange 2007 migration at his company later this year, with an eventual move to Exchange 2007's Unified Messaging. I've heard from another Exchange admin who just completed a 2003 to 2007 migration; he'll tell that story in an upcoming article on Exchange & Outlook Pro VIP. And our regular contributors, such as Paul Robichaux, Tony Redmond, and David Sengupta, have been working with Exchange 2007 for months and will continue to share their insights into the product's new features.
Early adopters notwithstanding, I expect that far greater numbers of organizations will pursue a more gradual Exchange 2007 upgrade path. In a nonscientific December 2006 Instant Poll on the Exchange Hot Topic site, 50 percent of those who responded said they'd either migrate to Exchange 2007 this year or would plan that migration, whereas the other half said they'll stay on Exchange 2003 (or earlier) as long as they can. Some of you can probably relate to the reader who's evaluating whether to move directly to Exchange 2007 from a legacy Exchange version or migrate to Exchange 2003 first. He asked me to recommend some Exchange 2003 migration articles; you can find that list of articles in "Tap into the Exchange & Outlook Pro VIP Knowledge Base".
Some vendors I've spoken with recently also foresee an unhurried migration to Exchange 2007. For instance, Randy DeMeno, CommVault's director of Advanced Applications and Microsoft Relationship, says that according to what he's heard from CommVault customers, he expects a faster migration to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 than Exchange 2007 this year. "Customers are more thoughtful about migrating to Exchange; they're doing more planning, because there's more riding on the upgrade," DeMeno said.
I want to make sure that Exchange & Outlook Pro VIP covers all the bases and provides a balance of coverage between the 2007 and 2003 versions of Exchange and Outlook. If you'll be moving to Exchange 2007 this year, we'll help you get up to speed with that product. If you plan to stay on Exchange 2003 a while longer, we'll continue to help you solve your day-to-day messaging problems while looking toward the future. I welcome your Exchange- or Outlook-related questions, article ideas and tips, news, and suggestions for ways that Exchange & Outlook Pro VIP can better serve you. You can send them to me at [email protected], or submit them via the Ask the Editor box on the Exchange & Outlook Pro VIP Web site. Have a great month!

We meet many people in our lifetime. Some we know for years, while others we just meet somewhere during a trip and never see again. What you tell these people and how much you let them know about yourself all depends on how much you trust them. Trust is something that is very valuable to everyone and it's rarely easy to earn from others these days. How to decide whether you should trust someone or not is difficult to do now because many people can seem to be trust worthy and turn out to be the complete opposite. Some people get so good at pretending to be trustworthy that they do so in order to get close to someone that has something they want until they get it. It is not always easy to prevent yourself from being a victim of false trust. There are three approaches people take when dealing with trust. There are the people who don't trust anyone, the people who trust everyone, and the people who carefully select who they trust.
The people who don't trust anyone can perhaps be completely protected from false trust but they will also always feel empty. A person who doesn't trust anyone doesn't have to worry about being misled by someone who tries to be their friend. That person, however, will never feel the joy and satisfaction of having a true friend by their side. They will never have those few people, who are trustworthy, be there for them when they need them most. In those times when the person is feeling down and needs someone by their side, they will have no one to which they can confide in. I feel sorry to those who take the approach of not trusting anyone. They will most likely lead lonely lives.
People who decide to trust everyone are honorable people. These people are optimists. They believe that there is more good in this world than bad. These people find out who is not trustworthy by experience and find out who deserves to be trusted by giving others chances. The problem with this approach is that the person using it could get very hurt in finding out who is not trustworthy or in finding out what the person did to them. It takes a lot of optimism and hope in the good of the world in order to take this approach. This is why these people are very honorable and brave for taking this approach.
For the people who take the wise approach were they carefully select who they believe is trustworthy and who isn't, they share the same approach as I. I believe this is the best approach to use when dealing with trust. In order for this to work, the person has to give people small chances to prove they are trustworthy. The person being tested cannot know that he is being tested for this will defeat the purpose. Over time, you learn who really is trustworthy and who is not as trustworthy as they seem. It is a process where you have to take your time and get comfortable with the person. This approach has many advantages in that it helps sift through the trustworthy and untrustworthy people and very few disadvantages. The only disadvantage that can come from this approach is that once in a while you will make a mistake about someone, but the consequences are much less severe.
Trust is not something that is just handed out to anyone. If someone trusts you, it's because they believe you are a good person. Most people take this lightly when it should be. Trust is something very personal that people should respect at all times. I have found that trust can be given to many people but you need to be extremely careful not to give it to someone who will abuse your trust because the consequences could be terrible. All you can really hope for is wise choices and the best of luck.
