As Android smartphones and tablets grow in popularity, it's no surprise that the number of malware outbreaks is growing. Mobile anti malware apps can give your phone or tablet an extra layer of protection
The majority of Android security apps are actually packages that include a host of other tools from contact filtering to remote lock or wipe. We decided to take a look at the top five Android security apps and find out what they do. We are taking a look at these from a consumer point of view, so be warned that some of the "free" apps are only free for personal, non-commercial use.
As long as you have an app from a major security software vendor, you'll likely have adequate coverage. McAfee seemed to be the only major security vendor whose app had less than a 65 percent malware detection rate.
1. Android's own screen pinning system
One of Android's most useful security tools is also one of its most easily overlooked. Screen pinning made its debut with Google's Android 5.0 Lollipop release in 2014 — but I'm willing to bet the vast majority of Android phone-owners either have forgotten all about it or never even realized it existed in the first place.
Take a minute and make sure the feature's activated now so it'll be ready when you need it: Just head into the Security section of your system settings and look for the option labeled "Screen pinning." Tap that line, then check to see that the toggles are activated next to both "On" and "Ask for unlock pattern before unpinning."
The next time you need to pass your phone to someone, first open the app you want them to be able to use. Then tap the Recent Apps key (the typically square-shaped icon next to the Home key). Your app should be in front as the most recently opened app; just scroll upwards until you see a circular pushpin icon.
Tap that pushpin, and you're all set: Your phone is now locked to that app and that app alone
2. A password management app
Perhaps the greatest risk to your personal security is the use of weak or frequently repeated passwords. We all have about a billion passwords to our names these days, and it's virtually impossible to make each one strong and unique without a little help.
3. A two-factor authentication utility
No matter how secure your passwords may be, they'll never be bulletproof. Adding a second layer of protection is the best way to keep unwanted intruders out — and it's really quite easy to do.
The dual-layer protection process is known as two-factor authentication, and it basically means that in order to get into your most important accounts — like those on Google, Dropbox, a variety of financial institutions and even password management apps like LastPass
4. Android's Smart Lock feature
Securing your phone with a pattern, PIN or password is important; we all know that. But having to put in that code every time you want to use the device can get annoying fast
Look for Smart Lock in the Security section of your system settings (on Android 5.0 or higher) to get set up.
5. Android's advanced app-scanning feature
You wouldn't know it from all the third-party companies peddling anti-virus software for smartphones, but Android has actually had its own native malware-scanning system in place since 2012. In addition to checking apps for potentially harmful code when they're installed, the OS can continuously scan your device over time to make sure nothing problematic ever pops up.
All you have to do is opt in by going into the Google section of your system settings (or into a separate app called Google Settings, if you have an older device). Select "Security" and then activate the "Scan device for security threats" option, if it isn't already activated. That's it: Your device and the software already on it will handle the rest.
6. Android Device Manager
Another important security tool Android provides is one that can find, ring and even remotely lock or erase your phone from a computer or other mobile device.
The tool is called Android Device Manager, and it's already on your smartphone and waiting to be used. Confirm that you have it enabled by going into the Google section of your system settings (or into the separate app called Google Settings) and then selecting "Security." You'll want both options under "Android Device Manager" to be activated.
7. An Android VPN client
This final item isn't one everyone needs, but if you spend a lot of time surfing the Web through open Wi-Fi networks — at airports, hotels or other public places — it's worth considering. A VPN, or virtual private network, encrypts all of your data and keeps strangers from snooping in and seeing your personal info.
It can allow you to mask your actual IP address and location, too, and thus access websites and services that might normally be blocked in your area — something that could be relevant and beneficial for some users.

If you are in a financial emergency where you need funding and fast, then you may be considering getting an auto title loan.
But perhaps you are hesitating because you have heard people say they can have certain pitfalls. So, you might be wondering how bad are title loans really.
At TFC Title Loans, we can give you all the details about the advantages and disadvantages of Car Title Loans. We have been in the alternative lending industry for nearly 25 years!
Itt's our responsibility to share all of the knowledge we have gained from that experience with our customers.
We do this because we are strong believers in consumer education and lender transparency. Recently we have been working hard to expand our website to include various resource pages that answer questions and address concerns about Car Title Loans.
This particular resource article will be address the risks and disadvantages of title loans and how we, at TFC, try our best to minimize those risks and maximize the advantages.
All lending options have risks that go along with them. No matter how traditional the loan, there will always be risks associated with them. Of course, there are some other risks that go along with title loans that are atypical of other lending options. This is because title loans are secured loans rather than unsecured loans, meaning that your approval is based on the collateral trade-in value in your vehicle rather than your credit score.
You can be approved for Car Title Loans regardless of your credit score but that means the lender will be taking on more risk by lending to individuals with sub-prime credit scores. Since the risk is higher there will be higher interest rates on the loans.
We have helped thousands of customers through their financial worries by providing Car Title Loans at amazingly competitive rates. We have locations all across the states of California, Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico. If you would like to learn more about title loans, then keep reading.

Former Big Brother contestant Krystal Forscutt has taken her first step towards international fame by being chosen as a character in a popular video game.
Forscutt is one of two females who feature as a digital version of themselves in Need For Speed's new ProStreet computer game, to be released later this year, with a potential worldwide audience of 40 million gamers.
"It's my first sort of international appearance, I guess," Forscutt told the Sunday Telegraph.
I've never heard of this chick...then again I adimently refuse to watch any thing in the realm of reality show.....and whats even more funny is knowing shes been in a reality show willing to whore her self like that makes me see her as ugly instead of good looking like every one else does.....But thats just really opinion, and personal taste.
Is it just me or is EA trying to shift a bit of the media attention from the racing part of the Need for speed serie to something easier to put in ads, in this case hot chicks ?
Josie Maran for Most Wanted and now Krystal Forscutt for ProStreet.
Who gives a f###? Her pretty face is heading straight for porn!
LOL, another dumb ass woman in need for speed, give me a break please, I just hope she doesnt bore me s*itless.

Eagle catches snow hare
Hobby photographer Paul Nilsen discovered an eagle circling above him in Finnmark last week. When the eagle suddenly dived down the hillside, Nilsen took up his camera and prepared to take a picture of the bird. The eagle increased its speed as it got closer to the ground, and it suddenly came back up again with a snow hare in its claws.
-Just luck, says Nilsen to newspaper iFinnmark about the amazing photo. -I don't know what happened with the hare. The eagle turned against the wind and flew towards the mainland, with a firm grip around the hare. I've got some comments on facebook where someone claims the picture must have been photoshoped. I can asure them it's not. I don't even know how to use photoshop.
Never seen anything like it
Eagle expert Alv Ottar Folkestad says that this is a full grown Golden Eagle, at least six years old. He has never seen anything like this.
-This is the first time I see a photo of an eagle taking an alive hare, Folkestad says. -I have seen eagles hit smaller birds, and I have also seen the result of an eagle taking a hare, but never with a living prey. I don't think many people has ever seen that.

The blog was the heart of DisciplehipYM.com. Don't worry, we've kept nearly all of the blog posts from the site. Many have been moved over to ComeFollow.Me in the youth ministry section of the site. Others will be reproduced in other ways.
That is a great question! The response to my work with DiscipleshipYM.com was humbling and even overwhelming at times. I am truly grateful for those who have purchased the book, went through the trainings at DiscipleshipTraining.com, and especially to those of you who have sent little email thank you's for a blog post that struck you or for something helpful you found on the site. These are things that are continual reminders to me that God is using my little efforts to to impact lives deepen the discipleship efforts in the Church.
The short answer to "why the change?" is that God is asking something new of me. I do not know exacly what the new site at ComeFollow.Me will grow into, but every time I offer my hobby of blogging and web sites to God, He increases my passion for contributing to the Church in this way. I look forward to the journey and hope that you'll join me.

I wanted to share something with my blog that I am working on with my therapist on my social anxiety— a social anxiety fear hierarchy. The point is to first look at the fears related to my social anxiety so that we can use exposure therapy to figure out the meaning behind these fears. For this list, I am focusing on crowds and meeting new people that cause my social anxiety to soar when I explore outside the confines of my house. The hierarchy is from lest fear to highest fear.
Hierarchy of Anxiety Fears of Meeting New People
- Being in one on one conversation with a friend at a coffee shop.
- Taking part in a one on one conversation with a casual acquaintance.
- Engaging in a conversation with three family members about my illness.
- Taking part in a one on one conversation with an unknown person in-person.
- Having to join a conversation with group strangers at a coffee shop.
- Meeting a group of people from school either online or in person.
Hierarchy of Anxiety Fears in Crowds
- Being in the store with a long list of things to buy, and my anxiety rising to the point that I have to leave the store.
- Waiting in a long line at the checkout counter at the store and having to leave.
- Being in a crowded coffee shop trying to stay focused on my work.
- Being in a crowded coffee shop trying to keep my anxiety in check in a sea of conversations all around me.
- Having a panic attack in the middle of a busy store surrounded by people.
- Having a panic attack in the middle of a crowded place like a theater, store, or any place that large crowds gather.
This list will probably adjust over the next few weeks, and I will be writing about what my therapist and I work on in coming weeks. I am exited and a little scared at facing my social anxiety. My social anxiety has been the one thing that I feel is out of control lately.

May 2018
The new financial year started on a positive note for the mutual fund industry. Its assets under management reached an all-time high of Rs.23.25 lakh crore, thanks to net inflows of Rs.1.37 lakh crore, according to the latest AMFI data. The AUM rose 9% in April 2018, from Rs.21.36 lakh crore in March 2018. The growth is due to healthy inflows in liquid, income and equity funds. AMFI data shows that equity funds received inflows of Rs.10,700 crore in April 2018. If we include ELSS, balanced funds, and ETFs that track indices, the overall inflows in equity funds rose to Rs.15,000 crore in April 2018. The rise in the inflows of equity funds is mostly due to investments by retail investors through SIPs. Similarly, balanced funds recorded the second highest inflows in equity category in April 2018. These funds received inflows of Rs.3,500 crore. Inflows in ELSS and ETFs stood at Rs.447 crore and Rs.305 crore in April 2018, respectively. The assets of equity funds including ELSS, ETFs and balanced funds have also reached an all-time high at Rs.10.60 lakh crore. This is largely due to increased inflows in equity funds and mark to market gains. While the industry received inflows of Rs.16,000 crore in April 2018, BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 reached close to their previous highs last month. AMFI has started disclosing inflows and assets of arbitrage funds separately from this month. The industry has collected Rs.1,238 crore through arbitrage funds. Largely corporates/HNIs invest in arbitrage funds for tax purposes. This separate disclosure will help the mutual fund industry get a better picture on net inflows. Among debt funds, income and liquid funds received inflows of Rs.5,200 crore and Rs.1.16 lakh crore respectively, in April 2018 largely because of investments from corporates and institutions. Corporate and institutions generally redeem their investments at the end of a quarter from debt funds to pay advance tax.
The new financial year continued to see increase in folios. The mutual fund folios count went up by 8.39 lakh in April 2017, according to the latest SEBI data. At the same time, the AUM of the mutual funds industry rose to an all-time high of Rs.23.25 lakh crore. The industry has witnessed consistent increase in the number of folios especially equity funds due to upbeat investor sentiment due to attractive returns. As on April 2018, the total industry folio was at 7.21 crore, with more than 4.4 crore coming from equity. In addition, equity funds (excluding arbitrage) received inflows of Rs.10,700 crore in April 2018. Balanced funds continued the positive momentum by adding 1.07 lakh folios in April 2018 despite a fall in the net inflows to Rs.3500 crore in April 2018 from Rs.6,754 crore in March 2018. Another equity category, tax saving funds also witnessed increase in folios. The category added close to 26,530 lakh folios during the month to reach a total folio count of 1.04 lakh. Equity ETFs, a part of passive investment recorded a marginal decline in folios. The category lost 942 folios in April 2018. Equity ETFs however witnessed an inflow of Rs.2,297 crore last month. Debt funds barring income funds also saw good traction in growth in folios. The total count of income folios fell by nearly 40,000 to 95.4 lakh folios. Another category of fund, the fund of funds saw fall in folios. Folios in overseas fund of funds category dropped by 146 to 93,713.
AMFI data shows that the top 20 fund houses manage direct equity AUM of Rs.1.45 lakh crore as on April 2018. HDFC Mutual Fund has the highest share of direct equity AUM. The fund house manages Rs.23,900 crore of direct equity AUM as on April 2018, according to AMFI data. The direct equity AUM of the fund house has increased by over 61%, from Rs.14,900 crore in April 2017. A major portion of this direct equity assets has come from T30 cities. While retail direct equity AUM of HDFC Mutual Fund was Rs.6,200, direct equity AUM of HNIs and sponsors were Rs.13,200 crore and Rs.1,000 crore, respectively.

The fund house managed direct equity AUM of Rs.21,700 crore in April 2018 compared to Rs.13,200 crore in April 2017, a growth of 64%. The direct retail and HNI equity AUM of the fund house was close to Rs.4,400 crore and Rs.9,700 crore, respectively. Aditya Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund was at the third spot.

Retail and HNI investors contributed Rs. 3,440 crore or 82% to the AUM. Among the top 20 funds, DHFL Pramerica MF was the only fund house to witness a decline in direct equity AUM. The direct equity AUM of the fund house has reduced from Rs.540 crore in April 2017 to Rs.517 crore in April 2018. This is due to reduced contribution in direct equity AUM from the sponsor of the fund house. The contribution by corporate sponsor in direct equity funds came down to Rs.5 crore in April 2018 from Rs.101 crore in April 2017. Overall, the top 20 fund houses have witnessed growth of 63% i.e. from Rs. 89,225.24 crore to Rs.1.45 lakh crore.
The AUM of individual investors in equity-oriented schemes was Rs.7.93 lakh crore in March 2018, up from Rs.5.35 lakh crore in March 2017. The proportion of individual AUM in equity-oriented schemes to the overall industry AUM has increased from 30% to 37% in FY 2017-18, according to AMFI data. The individual AUM of the equity-oriented schemes increased from Rs.5.35 lakh crore in March 2017 to Rs.7.93 lakh crore in March 2018. The healthy inflows in equity funds through SIPs and the lacklustre performance of other asset classes have increased the demand for equity funds among individual investors. AMFI data also shows that individual investors account for 85% of equity-oriented schemes. The mutual fund industry saw net inflows of Rs.2.61 lakh crore in equity funds including pure equity funds, balanced and ELSS in FY 2017-18. Also, the industry mopped up close to Rs.67,190 crore in FY 2017-18 through SIPs as against Rs.43,921 crore in FY 2016-17.

Overall, the total value of assets held by individual investors in mutual funds increased from Rs.8.53 lakh crore in March 2017 to Rs.11.66 lakh crore in March 2018, an increase of 37%. While both retail and HNIs primarily invest in equity schemes, institutional investors prefer to invest in liquid and debt funds. Institutional investors dominate liquid funds and debt funds by holding 81% and 68% of assets, respectively.
Investor awareness campaigns and strong participation from retail investors have taken the asset base of smaller towns up 38% from a year ago to Rs 4.27 lakh crore in FY18, according to data from Association of Mutual Funds in India. Currently, B15 towns account for nearly 19% of the total assets of the industry. Overall, the industry's AUM, comprising 42 players surged 26% to Rs 23.05 lakh crore in March 2018. Of the total AUM, 62% of the assets from B15 locations was invested in equity schemes, while 36% for top-15 cities or T15 was in to equities. About 10% of retail investors chose to invest directly, while 18.4% of HNI assets were invested directly. Besides, 40.7% of the assets of the mutual fund industry came directly. A large proportion of direct investments was in non-equity oriented schemes where institutional investors dominate.
Piquant Parade
The DSP Group has announced that they will buy out BlackRock's 40% stake in DSP BlackRock Investment Managers. With this, DSP BlackRock MF will become DSP MF. However, the fund house has to wait for regulatory approvals. While the DSP Group has a track record of over 152 years and currently owns a 60% stake in the joint venture, BlackRock Inc., which currently owns a 40% stake in the JV, is the largest asset management company in the world. Prior to this, the DSP Group had a joint venture with Merrill Lynch Investment Managers in 1996 for its asset management business in India, DSP Merrill Lynch Asset Management (India). This business went on to become DSP BlackRock Investment Managers in 2008 (after BlackRock Inc. took over Merrill Lynch's global asset management business in 2006).
Escorts Asset Management Ltd has been renamed as Quant Money Managers Ltd. with effect from February 28, 2018. Subsequently, the name of the trustee company has been changed to Quant Capital Trustee Ltd. from Escorts Investment Trust Ltd, effective April 13, 2018. Quant Money Managers Ltd is the investment manager to Escort Mutual Fund.
SEBI's data on 'Status of Mutual Fund Applications' shows that Muthoot Finance, Frontline Capital Services and Karvy Stock Broking are awaiting approval from SEBI to launch their mutual fund business in India. While Muthoot Finance and Frontline Capital Services approached SEBI in March 2017 and July 2017 respectively, Karvy Stock Broking has been waiting to get in-principle approval from SEBI since seven years. It had applied for AMC licence in November 2011. Interestingly, all three companies have a mutual fund distribution arm. AMFI data shows that the wealth management arm of Frontline Capital Services and Karvy Stock Broking have assets under advisory (AUA) of Rs.616 crore and Rs.6,634 crore, respectively as on March 2017. The AUA details of Muthoot Finance are not available in the AMFI's list of top 500 distributors. Muthoot Finance is a gold financing NBFC.
Yes Bank will start its mutual fund business by August 2018. In fact, the AMC is in the final stage of getting SEBI approval to launch its first mutual fund scheme. The company has identified senior leadership and technology architecture to commence operations within 3 months. CAMS will be the registrar and transfer agent for the fund house. Similar to other bank sponsored AMCs, Yes Bank will leverage its banking network to distribute its funds. The AMC will channelize the savings of retail, corporate and institutional investors in equity and debt capital markets by leveraging Yes Bank's expertise. This will complement Yes Bank's retail liabilities strategy and also allow the AMC to leverage the bank's distribution network for customer acquisition and provide customers a seamless experience for their investments and savings solutions
Union Bank of India said Japan's Dai-ichi Life Holdings acquired 39.62% stake in Union Asset Management through investment in compulsorily convertible preference shares.

Japan's Nippon owns a stake in Reliance Asset Management which is listed on the stock exchanges. Global players like Prudential and Franklin Templeton dominate the industry.
Regulatory Rigmarole
To encourage retail investors, especially in B30 cities, a few fund houses have reduced their minimum application size from Rs.5,000 to Rs.1,000 to make mutual funds more attractive. While Essel Finance Mutual Fund, the erstwhile Peerless Mutual Fund has been following this practice for quite some time, fund houses such as Aditya Birla Sun Life and DSP BlackRock have reduced their minimum application size from Rs.5,000 to Rs.1,000 to make it more affordable for retail investors. In fact, Aditya Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund reduced the minimum application amount to as little as Rs.500 in their flagship schemes such as Aditya Birla Sun Life Frontline Equity Fund and Aditya Birla Sun Life Equity Fund. SBI Mutual Fund is also planning to reduce their minimum application amount to Rs.1,000.
India is poised to be the fourth wealthiest country in the world with total wealth of $24,691 billion by 2027, says a report released by New World Wealth. The report states that India will be the fastest growing among top 10 countries, growing at a massive rate of 200% in 10 years. Currently, India is the sixth wealthiest country with a total wealth of $8,230 billion. Strong growth in financial services, IT, business process outsourcing, real estate, healthcare and media sectors will pave the way for India's growth. A large number of entrepreneurs, good educational system and the widespread use of English will also boost India's wealth. In the last 10 years, India was the second fastest growing economy among the top 10 countries, with a growth rate of 160% between 2007 and 2017. India is also the best performing wealth market in the past one year at 25% on the back of strong stock market gains. Total wealth refers to the private wealth held by all the individuals living in each country/city. It includes all their assets (property, cash, equities, business interests) less any liabilities. The report has excluded government funds. The other countries that will witness rapid increase in wealth are China (180%) and Australia (70%). It also mentions some of the major risks that these top 10 countries may face in the future. It includes rising pension obligations, religious tensions and public healthcare costs. New World Wealth is a global market research group, based in Johannesburg, South Africa. They specialise in ratings, surveys, country reports and wealth statistics.
It is vacation time again! Time for a short repose…The next blog that will appear on the last Monday of August, 2018, will update you on all the happenings in the Indian mutual fund industry in the intervening period.

I have been reading (and thinking) a lot about vulnerability and courage lately and what really causes us to SHINE. I think it's wonderful to be courageous enough to expose all our gremlins; the "am I good enough?', fears, trepidations, things we hate about ourselves but are trying to accept or change etc. It gets it out in the open where we can deal with it plus others can learn and grow from our stories by realizing that these are universal feelings; part of the human experience. But that's only one side of the story. The other part of vulnerability is also acknowledging our strengths-the "you know...I am a great baker, photographer, mother, gardener..."Not in a grandiose or narcissistic way (which isn't really vulnerability at all but rather insecurity) but in a quiet, self assured way that also encourages and supports others in their SHINING. I think this is what really makes us shine-this very quiet and humble appreciation and declaration of all our unique gifts. Our vision and heart and mind and....are all one of a kind. Now that's cause for celebration and SHINING...I think it is the KNOWING of our SHINING that causes us to SHINE! Today, I hope we can all SHINE a little brighter:)

I really love this art piece. It's so beautiful and it's something I rarely remember to do, to allow myself to shine. I'm so self critical that it's really hard for me to say I'm good at this or that. All I see are flaws on most days. I need to work on that.

Junior Springbok coach Chean Roux would have been excused if he experienced some form of déjà vu on Tuesday when the SA Rugby Academy squad took on his old team, the Stormers, in a friendly hit-out that would stand the youngsters in good stead as they stepped up their preparations for the rest of the season.
Roux, who is also at the helm of the SA Rugby Academy, represented the Stormers in Super Rugby during his playing days. He was very grateful to his former team-mate and current Stormers head coach Robbie Fleck, for agreeing to the "friendly match" in Bellville.
The SA Rugby Academy squad gathered in Stellenbosch last Wednesday for the second of three training camps, and the session against the Stormers marked their second "live" hit-out against opposition teams, in line with the Academy's objective to develop top-class players.
The teams took to the field at Western Province's High Performance Centre in Bellville, where Roux had the opportunity to guide his team hands-on during a series of short breaks.
The special occasion of facing some of their Stormers and Springbok heroes aside, the Academy squad players were also treated to a few inspirational words by Springbok captain Siya Kolisi in their team huddle.
"I am very pleased and grateful for the Stormers for allowing us to train against them, especially with a big Super Rugby game (against the Jaguares) coming up," said Roux.
"It was great for the players to see what a professional set-up like the Stormers is all about and what they are capable of."
Of the rare opportunity for the players to go up against the likes of Kolisi, Eben Etzebeth and a number of other Springboks, Roux said: "It was great for the guys, and so was the chance to chat to the Stormers players after the session. We are very grateful, and hopefully the players learned from it."
♦ The second SA Rugby Academy training camp will conclude at the end of next week, with the third camp – which will include international friendlies against Georgia, Argentina and Namibia – set to kick off on Wednesday, 27 March.
The international friendlies will also serve as platform to prepare the players who make it into Roux's travelling squad for the World Rugby U20 Championship in Argentina in June for the international showpiece.
"We are getting there slowly but surely; however, there is still a lot of hard work to do," Roux said of the progress the squad has made since the SA Rugby Academy started in February.
"We still have another week-and-a-half before this camp, and then we will assess where we are in terms of players. We will get everything in place for our first three games after that. The most important aspect for now is to continue the hard work on the field."

Randy Pitchford, CEO of Borderlands studio Gearbox, finds himself accused of a staggering set of crimes involving large amounts of money and alleged sexual acts. The accusations come in a lawsuit from Gearbox's former lawyer, a man named Wade Callender. What makes the situation more complicated is that Callender is also being sued by Gearbox for taking company money and using it for personal enjoyment.
(Trigger Warning: The accusations include abusive sexual acts that some readers may find disturbing.)
Among the claims in Callendar's suit against Gearbox are two huge crimes, one involving a huge paycheck and the other involving suspicious content on a thumb drive. The first allegation is that Pitchford took a "personal, secretive 'Executive Bonus' 0f $12,000,000 to be paid directly to Pitchford entity called 'Pitchford Entertainment Media Magic, LLC.'" This supposedly happened in 2016, and Callendar claims the money was meant to be put towards Borderlands development. Instead, he accuses Pitchford of siphoning it into his own outside company.
But perhaps the wildest accusation is that Pitchford hosted parties where "adult men have reportedly exposed themselves to minors, to the amusement of Randy Pitchford." In addition, Callendar claims that Pitchford once lost a company USB stick at a Texas restaurant. A restaurant employee later discovered it, they reportedly found classified documents about upcoming Gearbox games, as well as risqué pictures of children.
Of course, there are two sides to every story, and Gearbox has a lot to say in rebuttal to Callendar's lawsuit.
In a statement to Kotaku, Gearbox says:
"Gearbox will be filing a grievance with the State Bar of Texas against our former general counsel Wade for disciplinary proceedings for filing a lawsuit that includes accusations that he knows to be untrue. The lawyer's rules of professional conduct expressly prohibit the filing of documents that are knowingly false. The tell is within Wade's claim itself – his use of hedged lawyer language and clever application of quotation marks betray that he knows that the impression he is trying to create is based in lies. We imagine that he used the quotation marks and lawyer language in hopes that will give him some angles of defense when we inevitably take action against him for false statements. Wade is engaged in a shakedown and he's clearly using deceit and lies to try to cause damage by promoting a narrative that he knows is false."
After this story first rose, Ars Technica found a podcast from last year where Pitchford addressed the USB stick incident. According to him, the only sexual content on the drive was a video of an adult woman touching herself. Gearbox also denies the existence of the predatory parties.
Another interesting wrinkle to this story is that Callendar was let go from Gearbox last year. Gearbox also sued him first, alleging that he committed fraud by taking company money and not paying it back. The suit reads that he "abused the privilege of credit card access by charging unapproved, wholly personal expenses, including family vacations, gun club memberships and firearms accessories, and trying to get six-pack abs."
So now there are two lawsuits and a lot of wild accusations flying around. We'll cover the details as more come. For now, you can read the entirety of both suits in the Kotaku piece on this story.

On January 17, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) accidentally bombed a camp for internal refugees in Rann, in the country's northeastern Borno State, killing an estimated 236 and wounding 120 more. The Nigerian government quickly expressed remorse at the mistake and argued that the event should not reflect on the professionalism of the NAF. In response, the International Committee of the Red Cross released a statement saying, "We are deeply saddened by the loss of our six colleagues and shocked that an incident of this magnitude has occurred in a civilian area," while Doctors Without Borders called the event "shocking and unacceptable."
The accidental bombing is but one example of the kind of violence that the Nigerian state subjects displaced people throughout Nigeria to every day. This violence is the result of both omission and commission.
The Boko Haram insurgency has displaced more than 2.3 million people throughout the Lake Chad Basin, resulting in one of today's worst humanitarian crises. In response, the Nigerian government and its international partners have struggled to provide care for the civilians forced to flee their homes. Fewer than ten percent of the displaced live in an official government camp, perhaps because the living conditions at camps are so miserable. Residents complain of chronic food shortages, inadequate medical services, and a lack of any livelihood programs. In July, Doctors Without Borders gained access to an internal refugee camp in Bama, where they saw that 66 percent of the children were emaciated and there were more than 1,200 recently dug graves. Although Bama may be an outlier, in camps throughout the region, hunger and malnutrition are common complaints.
Camp residents complain of chronic food shortages, inadequate medical services, and a lack of any livelihood programs.
Conditions were so bad in February 2016 that residents of the Dalori II camp in Borno staged a protest. One camp leader, Hussina Usman, stated that, contrary to the government's reports, the residents ate only once a day—if they received a meal at all. Malam

LONDON — Volkswagen is staking out an aggressive response to its emissions-testing crisis in Europe, where most of the affected vehicles were sold, by essentially saying: We didn't cheat here.
The company's system to trick, or "defeat," pollution tests, which VW has admitted installing in millions of vehicles globally, "is not a forbidden defeat device" under European rules, a company spokesman said in a statement to The New York Times.
The company's determination, which was made by its board, runs counter to regulatory findings in Europe and the United States. German regulators said last month that VW did use an illegal defeat device.
VW executives have already admitted to using the illegal software to cheat on emissions testing in the United States, where regulations are tougher. About 500,000 affected diesel cars were sold in America. But Europe is home to more than 8.5 million affected vehicles, making the risk of litigation and regulatory sanctions potentially costly.
Volkswagen's position sheds light on its view of the scandal as a whole. While it promises to fix affected vehicles wherever they were sold, it is prepared to admit wrongdoing only in the United States.
Its position is unlikely to mollify customers like Stephen Larkin, who has purchased Volkswagens since he bought a used VW Derby in 1988. Several weeks ago, not long after the scandal broke, he sold his 2014 diesel Passat and contacted a law firm about joining a potential suit against the company.
"They play a lot on their environmental credentials, but I don't think they care about the environment," said Mr. Larkin, a 47-year-old civil engineer from northern England. "I'm very disillusioned."
Volkswagen's claim that it did not cheat in Europe is likely to renew questions about Europe's porous regulatory system, which allows manufacturers to control and manipulate emissions tests for their own benefit. European states and the European Union's central government in Brussels are in a contentious battle to overhaul the regulatory system.
The scandal began in September, when Volkswagen admitted installing software in 11 million diesel vehicles worldwide that could detect when the cars were being tested in a laboratory and reduce the emissions of nitrogen oxides, a deadly pollutant tied to a range of health problems. American regulators learned that actual emissions on the road were as much as 40 times as high as tests were showing. Volkswagen includes the brands Audi and Porsche, and SEAT and Skoda in Europe.
Volkswagen has admitted that it cheated in the United States, though last week the company's new chief executive, Matthias Müller, clouded matters by denying in a radio interview that the company had lied to American regulators, only to backpedal to some degree in a subsequent interview.
Still, in a letter released by the British Parliament last week, Paul Willis, the company's chief in Britain, said Volkswagen "accepts that a defeat device was used in the U.S.A. in certain models." But Mr. Willis also said, "We do not think that it is possible to make the same definitive legal determination in relation to the software that was fitted" to "differently configured vehicles in the U.K. and the E.U." He then acknowledged "the potential for this to be an issue that is examined in litigation."
How Volkswagen's 'Defeat Devices' Worked
Volkswagen admitted that 11 million of its vehicles were equipped with software that was used to cheat on emissions tests. This is how the technology works and what it now means for vehicle owners.
The company was more definitive in a subsequent statement provided to The Times, in response to a question about the determination by German regulators that the software did constitute an illegal defeat device. "The Board of Management remains of the opinion," the company said, that the system "is not a forbidden defeat device."
The decision not to challenge the determination made by German regulators was "purely procedural" and had "nothing to do with giving up the legal assessment" of the issue. "Rather, in the interest of customers it is solely in order to cooperate and work constructively and hand-in-hand with the regulatory authorities to implement the action plan," the statement said. "We did not want a dispute putting a strain on this."
This is not to say that the software was used only in the United States. Mr. Willis said that the vehicles sold with the software in Europe "would not function" without it. And he said that the software "clearly contributed to meeting" European emissions standards.
But regulations that apply in Europe give automakers discretion to determine the engine settings used during emissions testing. And in the past some regulators have fretted that those settings may not be the ones used on the road.
Plaintiffs' lawyers brush aside the distinction being drawn by Volkswagen. "The issue of whether or not it is a defeat device amounts to very little in a legal sense," said Bozena Michalowska Howells, a partner at the London law firm Leigh Day.
"They're going to remove it and fix it, and for regulatory purposes, it's being deemed a defeat device," she said.
Jacqueline Young, a partner in the London office of Slater and Gordon, an Australian law firm, said, "That will be a major issue if national authorities are going to start talking about fining or giving penalties, but whether it's a defeat device has bearing, but not huge significance, on consumer claims."
VW owners don't care about what you call it, she said. "They care about the value of their asset."
While class actions in the United States began to appear almost as soon as the scandal broke, group litigation in Europe is far less aggressive. The applicable laws tend to be less hospitable to such claims, though they vary country to country. A recent law in Britain made such suits easier by allowing members of a potential class to opt out instead of opt in to group litigation.
Potential legal claims are in various stages in countries like the Netherlands and Ireland. In Britain, lawyers said they were waiting to see what remedy Volkswagen would offer before deciding whether to proceed with a suit. "We need to see exactly what the fix entails. We need to see what the impact is in relation to resale values," Ms. Howells said.
A major shareholder suit is also expected to be filed within days in Germany. Nadine Herrmann, a partner at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, said the suit would be based only on the use of defeat devices in the United States. The suit is being supported by Bentham Europe, a London company that funds such litigation.
The crux of the claim is that the use of defeat devices "had to be disclosed under German securities laws," Ms. Herrmann said in an email response to questions.
The European Commission has asked VW to reconsider its refusal to make good-will payments to owners in Europe, as the company is doing in America. Volkswagen has argued that because regulations are different in the United States, the fix will be more complicated and time-consuming there.
"They've put their hands up in the U.S. and said mea culpa," said Alan Campbell, a 57-year-old electrical engineer from Bristol, who owns a diesel power Skoda Octavia that is among the vehicles that will be recalled. "From what I've seen in the press, it's going to be one rule for U.S. people and one rule for U.K. people, which I think is wrong."

Before I get started, a little backstory to the porch step "tree" backstory (below). Whenever I'm feeling especially competitive and reminding my husband, "I'm the winner. WINNER. Winner, winner, chicken dinner." He will tell me I am making Jesus cry. Admittedly, it does nothing to change my behavior because I know Jesus loves me and that my husband really loves being married to a WINNER.
Hahahahahahahaha! All kidding aside, I really do know it's not nice to gloat even if I win the race upstairs. Or finish brushing my teeth first. Or am the first to set an alarm clock. And I really do know that Jesus loves me even when I do things that make him cry.
Anyway, while running last-minute retreat errands the week of Thanksgiving I spotted the most beautiful potted tree (it's not really a tree, but what I've been calling it these last several weeks). With my lift restriction I thought it would be easier to return with my husband than to try and wrangle help at the store. Between hosting Thanksgiving and the crafting retreat that followed, weeks passed before we were able to return to the store.
And when we did, my tree was gone. 🙁
As silly as it sounds, it made me sad – I'd been envisioning that tree on my step for weeks. Then today, something happened…
I heard a door slam, looked out my window, and saw a dear friend CARRYING MY TREE!!!!!!!!!!!! It was meant to be a surprise. She knew nothing about the little tree I'd been hoping for (or the disappointment that followed) yet here she was at my doorstep with a tree even prettier than the one I had been describing to my husband!
I could not help but text him, "Jesus loves me SO MUCH."
As I have said many times before, there is no such thing as coincidence – this was a God Moment. Thank you, thank you Secret Admirers for the very special gift.

"You cheated and lied, as her love slowly died
And her heart just broke in two
When she was with you, all along
Behind you right or wrong
She tried to hold on, hold on
But you went too far, and she's gone
And now it's over and her heart turns to stone" - Metal_Treasure

They also host our company server.The response time is extremely quick and they make the process of dealing with IT issues seamless. Support305 has improved the overall productivity of our equipment by their expert knowledge. They worked diligently to resolve all of our issues and spend multiple days on site ensuring maximum efficiency. We have not faced any major disruptions since we transitioned over.In today's world every business runs on technology and taking the hassle out of dealing with it allows the focus to remain on operations. Support305 do what they say they are going to do, in the timeframe that they tell you. Previously, we had been filled with false promises by multiple companies. Support305 have no hidden agendas, which in today's world can be difficult to find. We are currently undertaking our largest restaurant project in our company's history and we have not even considered going in a different direction.

Web Combo - SOA & WCF plus JavaScript, jQuery and ASP.NET MVC
Presenter: Markus Egger
Where: Houston, Texas, United States
This event can also be attended online.
Click here to register for this event!Where: Onsite at CODE Training Center (6605 Cypresswood Dr. Suite 300, Spring, TX 77379) or remotely via GoToMeeting
When: Dec 5 - 7, 2011 (Monday - Wednesday)
Desc: An in-depth lecture style training class designed to educate attendees about today's web technologies - SOA & WCF, JavaScript, jQuery and ASP.NET MVC. This class combines our two web classes for one low price!
Class 1: A Day of SOA & WCF with Markus Egger - CODE Training and EPS Software will be holding an intensive 1-day lecture style boot-camp with Markus Egger on SOA and WCF specifically designed for developers of business applications who wish to learn and evaluate the latest Microsoft .NET technologies. Attendees of this class will not just learn how to use WCF and SOA to a point where they can immediately start to build applications based on these techniques, but they will also be able to evaluate the impact of these techniques and technologies on their future development efforts.
This class starts at a beginner level, but quickly moves beyond theory to enable attendees to learn how to write real world SOA & WCF applications (and they will also get to see many real-world examples that showcase the benefits of such systems). Attendees will also get the opportunity to discuss their projects and have their questions personally answered by MVP and RD Markus Egger.
Class 2: JavaScript, jQuery and ASP.NET MVC This intensive 2-day lecture style boot-camp focuses on JavaScript, jQuery and ASP.NET MVC specifically designed for developers of business applications who wish to learn the latest Microsoft .NET technologies. Attendees of this class will learn how to use ASP.NET MVC and will have gained an understanding of MVC to a point where they can start working on ASP.NET MVC applications. Attendees of this class will also be able to judge whether a scenario is appropriate for MVC and they will have a good understanding of how MVC will impact their future development efforts.
The training class will be held at our offices in Houston, Texas as well as online via GoToMeeting. After the class, attendees will receive the PowerPoint slides, the code samples and videos of each class as reference materials.
Monday - SOA & WCF with Markus Egger
|9:00 – 10:15
Introduction to Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and WCF
This session will introduce the core concepts and ideas behind SOA and show some examples of architecture that use it successfully. This is then followed by a discussion of what WCF is and how it supports the SOA principles.
|10:15 – 10:30
|10:30 – 12:00
Building a Business System with WCF & SOA
In this session we'll discuss how WCF is used to build a large scale business system (with various front ends such as web sites and rich clients)
|12:00 – 13:30
|13:30 – 14:45
Advanced WCF Topics
Understanding contracts, bindings and various protocols and standars. This session also covers topics such as security, reliability, transactions, concurrency, exceptions and more.
|14:45 – 15:00
|15:00 – 16:30
Building Public Interfaces with WCF (using SOAP, REST, and other standards)
This session introduces the concepts of public-facing (or at least standardized) service interfaces using techniques and technologies such as SOAP, REST, TCP/IP, and more. This includes a discussion of the SOA approach vs. simply using service technologies such as WCF for remote communications (as is the case with RIA Services for instance) and scenarios where non-SOA services are useful. This session covers all these techniques.
|16:30 – 16:45

Tuesday - JavaScript & jQuery
|9:00 – 10:15
Intro to JavaScript Language Concepts
JavaScript is really a very simple language. Get a whirlwind tour through how to use what has becomethe lingua franca of the web. Includes a discussion on closures, prototyping and why JavaScript is not (and is much simpler than) Java.
|10:15 – 10:30
|10:30 – 12:00
Intro to JQuery
Get introduced to what is perhaps the prominent Javascript library and learn about its advantages
|12:00 – 13:30
|13:30 – 14:45
Using JQuery
How do developers work with JQuery? See its usage in quickly sprucing up a website as well as the patterns used in communicating to servers using Ajax
|14:45 – 15:00
|15:00 – 17:00
JQuery 1st and 3rd Party Modules
JQuery has one of the most active communities on the web, see some of the excellent work going on there and get introduced to some concepts allowing you to make your own additions.
Wednesday - ASP.NET MVC
|9:00 – 10:15
Intro to ASP.NET MVC and the MVC Pattern
What is the ASP.NET MVC Framework? Why does it exist? What are the use cases, its history, predecessors, and competitors? Have the MVC pattern demystified.
|10:15 – 10:30
|10:30 – 12:00
Controllers and Models
Controllers are the starting point for every request in ASP.NET MVC, and as such, a great topic to start our in-depth exploration of ASP.NET MVC. Controllers orchestrate, decide how to retrieve information and pass it to the "view". This information is referred to as "the model" in ASP.NET MVC, which is also a topic of discussion in this session.
|12:00 – 13:30
|13:30 – 14:45
The previous session explored the Controller and the Model (the "M" and the "C" in "MVC"), which leaves the Views (the "V" part). Views are a way to present information to the user. While the Controller and the Model can be seen as the logic part of the UI layer, the View is the part that is actually visible to the user. In a Web world, this mostly (but not always) means HTML. MVC supports different "View Engines", each providing a slightly different way to create the resulting UI (HTML). This session mainly discusses the 2 integrated view engines (mostly the new "Razor" view engine, but also the traditional "Code Nuggets" engine). This session also briefly discusses the use of other view engines, although the main focus is on the default engines provided by Microsoft.
|14:45 – 15:00
|15:00 – 16:30
Advanced Topics: AJAX, Services, JSON and more
Since the advent of Web 2.0, web applications have been doing more and more work on the client, using technologies such as JavaScript, which then use techniques, technologies, and standards such as AJAX, JSON, and Services to communicate with the server when needed, without having to navigate to a new page. This session shows how to do that.
|16:30 – 16:45

But will the euro really be saved? That remains very much in doubt.
First of all,
Never mind the dubious biology, we get the point. In the long run, the euro will be workable only if the
Consider, for example, the comparison between
But the creation of a United States of Europe won't happen soon, if ever, while the crisis of the euro is now. So what can be done to save the currency?Continue reading the main story
Well, why was the bumblebee able to fly for a while? Why did the euro seem to work for its first eight or so years? Because the structure's flaws were papered over by a boom in southern Europe. The creation of the euro convinced investors that it was safe to lend to countries like
And for a while everyone was happy. In southern Europe, huge housing bubbles led to a surge in construction employment, even as manufacturing became increasingly uncompetitive. Meanwhile, the German economy, which had been languishing, perked up thanks to rapidly rising exports to those bubble economies in the south. The euro, it seemed, was working.
Then the bubbles burst. The construction jobs vanished, and unemployment in the south soared; it's now well above 20 percent in both Spain and Greece. At the same time, revenues plunged; for the most part, big budget deficits are a result, not a cause, of the crisis. Nonetheless, investors took flight, driving up borrowing costs. In an attempt to soothe the financial markets, the afflicted countries imposed harsh austerity measures that deepened their slumps. And the euro as a whole is looking dangerously shaky.
What could turn this dangerous situation around? The answer is fairly clear: policy makers would have to (a) do something to bring southern Europe's borrowing costs down and (b) give Europe's debtors the same kind of opportunity to export their way out of trouble that
In his remarks, Mr. Draghi — who I suspect understands all of this — basically floated the idea of having the central bank buy lots of southern European bonds to bring those borrowing costs down. But over the next two days German officials appeared to throw cold water on that idea. In principle, Mr. Draghi could just overrule German objections, but would he really be willing to do that?
And bond purchases are the easy part. The euro can't be saved unless Germany is also willing to accept substantially higher inflation over the next few years — and so far I have seen no sign that German officials are even willing to discuss this issue, let alone accept what's necessary. Instead, they're still insisting, despite failure after failure — remember when
So could the euro be saved? Yes, probably. Should it be saved? Yes, even though its creation now looks like a huge mistake. For failure of the euro wouldn't just cause economic disruption; it would be a giant blow to the wider European project, which has brought peace and democracy to a continent with a tragic history.
But will it actually be saved? Despite Mr. Draghi's show of determination, that is, as I said, very much in doubt.Continue reading the main story

It´s amazing how many times Geordie and I talk as we walk the camino. Usually I don´t like to stop, so I huff and puff as I walk, and today that was all uphill. Well, it seemed that way. The walk out of Portomarín went down to the lake and then back up, and up, and up. And just when you thought there was a level spot, yep, up!
The last time we did the camino we found all those talkers on their cell phones really annoying. Not everyone had a phone, but those who did seemed to like to talk and walk. Now of course it´s us! And everyone else. But it´s not as bad as I thought. Most people have become much more considerate and don´t shout on their phones, don´t have long conversations in the Albergues while others are trying to sleep.
It´s been great for Geordie and me. When I lost my guide books I had his virtual shoulder to cry on. When I lost my wallet, I called him right away to tell him my disaster, although I could also have done a little of my own problem solving. But he was there. And two days ago, I called the hotel we have booked in Santiago, to change the dates of our stay.
We were planning to walk for six days, but that has now been revised to only five. There are only two days to go. We had planned to arrive in Santiago on Monday, but now we arrive on Sunday, so I called the hotel and asked if we could change the reservation – luckily, we could, so we made our new plans.
I walked 25 kilometers yesterday and had planned to walk 14 today, but instead, I walked another 25. Tomorrow I´m walking 20, and on the last day, 21. The best part of today´s walk? I walked without my pack. No, I didn´t throw it away. I sent it on ahead to the private Albergue my group had chosen. That cost me a whole 3 euros. Worth every céntimo. It was so nice to walk without the weight on my back, and my feet were very happy too. They survived the very long walk with no new pains.
I had hoped to post a few more pictures for you, since the last were so popular, but I don´t actually have access to this computer – I think it´s hidden behind a wall or something. But next time I have the opportunity I´ll post more. Yes, Brother Jim, I now have a picture of me with my walking sticks – just for you.
A little advertisement here. I have upped my goal for AlzheimersBC to $1500.00 and I´m hoping to reach that goal, or even surpass it. So if you have donated thank you so very much. But if you haven´t, please consider donating something to the cause. If you are Canadian, you will of course, get a tax receipt. I´m sorry that I couldn´t make arrangements for an international fund, but if you donate from another country do remember that our dollar is lower than your currency, at least in US dollars, British pounds, and the Euro, so you can make your money work harder. And the money that is donated goes not only to support people living with Alzheimers, but also to research and the search for a cure.
¡Ultreia, mis amigos! Onward, my friends!

pasted from some URL as posted on DRBD-user:
/ 2006-05-09 08:53:38 -0400 \ Diego Julian Remolina: You can find my upgrade notes in the following page: https://services.ibb.gatech.edu/wiki/index.php/Howto:Updates:DRBD They are a bit RHEL specific, but the procedure should be very similar with other distros.
DRBD needs to be updated or re-compiled everytime a new kernel is installed. This guide is only for minor version upgrades. Make sure there have not been any API or Protocol changes. In order to update drbd you need to follow these steps:
1. Find and download the latest version of the DRBD packages. Use the 0.7.X series as the newer 0.8.X series is not yet stable.
cd /home/sysadm/src/drbd mkdir 0.7.17 && cd !$ wget http://oss.linbit.com/drbd/0.7/drbd-0.7.17.tar.gz
2. Extract the sources in /usr/src:
cd /usr/src tar -xzf /path/to/drbd-0.7.17.tar.gz cd drbd-0.7.17
3. Find out what is the version of the new kernel so that you can build drbd for that kernel:
root@aragorn drbd-0.7.17]# ls /usr/src/kernels/ 2.6.9-22.0.2.EL-x86_64 2.6.9-22.EL-smp-x86_64 2.6.9-34.EL-smp-x86_64 2.6.9-34.EL-x86_64Since 2.6.9-34 is the latest kernel, then we want to build the package first for the regular kernel and then for the smp kernel. If you use the hugemem kernel then you will need to build for that one too.
4. Build DRBD for all the new kernels:
make rpm KDIR=/usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-34.EL-x86_64 make rpm KDIR=/usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-34.EL-smp-x86_64
5. Install the rpms located in dist/RPMS/{arch}/
Stop Heartbeat and make sure the other server took over correctly. Stop drbd to make sure you can upgrade without your server going into a bad state that can result in an unwanted reboot.
/etc/init.d/drbd stopRemove module to make sure drbd is not in use any longer (stopping drbd usually removes the module, this is just to doduble check).
rmmod drbdUpdate the new drbd packages:
rpm -Fvh --force dist/RPMS/x86_64/drbd-0.7.17-1.x86_64.rpm rpm -Fvh --force dist/RPMS/x86_64/drbd-debuginfo-0.7.14-1.x86_64.rpmNow install the rpms with the drbd kernel modules:
rpm -ivh dist/RPMS/x86_64/drbd-km*.rpm
6. Copy the files to the appropriate rpms folder in /home/sysadm/src in order to make them available when updating the other servers.
mkdir -p /usr/src/drbd-0.7.17/dist/RPMS/x86_64 cp dist/RPMS/x86_64/*.rpm /usr/src/drbd-0.7.17/dist/RPMS/x86_64/
7. You are ready to reboot the server with the new kernel. DRBD should work correctly now.

Ah nothing like relaxing!
Instead of going to Epcot today we went yesterday and decided today should be a day to relax. I recommend everyone having a relaxing day on their vacation. The only downside was we didn't get to meet Deb and the All Ears gang.
We hung out at the pool at Port Orleans French Quarter which is very nice and right out in the sun perfect for tanning!
After we were done resting up from grad night my family and I went to Disney Hollywood Studios.
Now I want to clear something up for all of the people out there: SINGLE RIDER LINES ARE NOT FASTER THAN FAST PASS LINES!
I went on Rockin' Roller Coaster with three different fast passes all in a row and saw people getting into the single rider line which looked like you could just walk onto the ride, wrong. They only use the single rider people when they need you so you end up waiting A LOT longer than you would in the fast pass line.
One kid who had gotten into the single rider line when I was first waiting in the fast pass line ended up filling my seat on my second time around!
Also a tip about any ride that has a movie in a separate room before it: watch the movie once then if you ever go on it again just try to get as close to the doors that open as you can that way you can be the first one out and get to skip the long line of people who were in the movie with you!
We had dinner at the Brown Derby and the food there is fantastic! The Cobb Salad is delicious!
We went to see Fantasmic which is my favorite night show. I recommend sitting higher up and not near the front because you get a better view, plus you get out faster when it's over.
Tomorrow is my last day ttyl.
