Having problems with your Compaq Presario 700 470024-192 Notebook ?
What type of wireless network card do i need for my N610 compaq
Answers :
The easiest way is to get a wireless pcmcia card that slides into one of the expansion slots. if you want an internal card you need to check what kind of slot you have and make sure you have antenna wires running to where it needs to be installed. more than likely it's a pci-e slot and you can buy one of those from ebay
You can use 802.11b.

SOUTHGATE, Mich. -- A new law is sparking fireworks sales -- and the Michigan economy.
Roughly 500 certificates have been granted so far to businesses seeking to sell fireworks that had been prohibited for years, the state Bureau of Fire Services reports.
Bottle rockets, aerial cakes, Roman candles, firecrackers -- all can be sold and used legally after lawmakers and Gov. Rick Snyder erased the ban.
It means no more clandestine trips to Ohio and Indiana for fiery summer fixings.
Michigan residents were returning home with illegal fireworks, but enforcement wasn't strict.
"It's about time. Now we can sell stuff people were smuggling across the border," said Steve LaFleur, co-owner of Southgate Fireworks in Southgate, south of Detroit.
Sean Conn, a vice president at Big Fireworks in Lansing, said: "This is gigantic."
A lawmaker who led the effort, Rep. Harold Haugh (D., Roseville) predicts it could add $8 million to $10 million to the state treasury.
Permits range from $1,000 for a permanent retail location to $600 for a temporary spot, such as a tent. Fireworks carry a 6 percent sales tax as well as a 6 percent fee that will go to a firefighter safety fund.
Sellers must be inspected, undergo a background check, and show proof of $10 million in liability insurance. A lawsuit challenging the high level of insurance is pending in federal court in Bay City.
"That's in there to keep the bad players off the streets," Mr. Haugh said.
Southgate Fireworks has embraced the law, stocking shelves with new fireworks that shoot in the air.
"The important thing to note is all this stuff is federally approved. It's considered safe," Mr. LaFleur said. "Michigan finally got on the bandwagon and realized they were losing a lot of tax money to other states."
Big Fireworks is a subsidiary of American Eagle Superstore Inc. in Lansing, which supplies fireworks to retailers across the country. Until the law changed, the company couldn't sell in Michigan what it was providing to people in other states, Mr. Conn said.
"It was all ground effects and sparklers before. Now you can get a cake aerial that can go 150 to 300 feet in the air. It impresses everyone," he said.
In Brimley, in the Upper Peninsula, Jim Miller has been running Mel's Fireworks for more than 20 years. Because his store was on an Indian reservation, he could get around the state ban on most major fireworks. But now that the law has changed, he's moving off the reservation so he can get more visibility.
"There's going to be a lot of competition. I had exclusive territory for 250 miles," said Mr. Miller, who advertises on TV.
Michael Fales of Gladwin, former president of the Michigan Pyrotechnics Arts Guild, puts on big fireworks shows for cities.
He said he's excited about being able to go into a store and buy a big bang for his own use.
"Fireworks create a sense of awe or beauty," he said. "There's an adrenalin rush from the sky filling up with color."
Mr. Haugh is pleased with the reaction, but don't expect him to light a fuse on July 4.
"I don't like fireworks much, going back to my childhood," Mr. Haugh said. "I come from a family of seven boys. One of my brothers got burned."

The family of Troy Anthony Davis remembers how he left Windsor Forest High School to care for a paralyzed sister while his mother worked.
And how he spent his own money so neighborhood kids could have ice cream on a hot summer day.
They say he is not the man prosecutors have portrayed as a cold-blooded killer who awaits execution in the 1989 slaying of off-duty police officer Mark Allen MacPhail.
"The Troy Davis I knew, and the Troy Davis I know now, is still the same person," said Martina Correia, his older sister who has spent 15 years trying to get his conviction thrown out.
"Troy has always been a very prayerful, very kind person," she said.
On Aug. 28, 1991, a Chatham County Superior Court jury convicted Davis, now 38, of killing MacPhail in the parking lot of the Greyhound Bus Station/Burger King restaurant on Oglethorpe Avenue.
The jury recommended the death sentence.
The officer, 27, was shot twice with a .38-caliber pistol as he tried to break up a fight in the early hours of Aug. 19, 1989. He never unholstered his weapon.
Prosecutors said Davis shot MacPhail once in the heart while the officer was standing, then a second time in the face as he lay on the parking lot.
Davis fled to Atlanta ahead of a massive manhunt but later surrendered to authorities Aug. 23, 1989.
No court reviews
Davis consistently has said he is innocent, but a number of courts have refused to intervene.
When the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a request by attorneys for Davis for a final review June 25, the denial exhausted his appeals.
"I was very shocked they didn't write a dissenting opinion," Correia said. "That didn't mean Troy's case did not have any merit."
Only a July 16 clemency hearing before the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles stands between Davis and death by lethal injection the next day at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Center at Jackson.
His supporters contend the conviction was not based on physical evidence, that no murder weapon was ever found and that prosecution witnesses have since recanted their testimony.
They plan to rally in Atlanta on Tuesday and deliver about 3,000 letters and postcards in support of clemency for Davis, according to Amnesty International USA officials.
'Everyone convinced'
"I don't think it would have mattered what Troy said in that courtroom," Correia said. "Everyone was convinced he did it.
"That jury was feeding on what they had heard for the last two years. Troy Davis was a cop killer."
Correia has memorized large portions of the trial transcript and can point to areas she said make no sense, or that show police coercion or are based on unreliable witnesses.
"There was police and prosecutoral misconduct in this case," she said.
Detectives "pressured, pressured, pressured" witnesses until they got tired and signed prepared statements containing lies, Correia said.
"Everything is not as black and white as it looks," she said. "If Troy is so guilty, why are we in such a hurry to kill him? They don't want people to know.
"Where is the evidence against Mr. Davis? I say to you: You don't have any."
Correia said her brother graduated from Richard Arnold High School in 1987 and was getting ready to join the U.S. Marine Corps in the summer of 1989.
Virginia Davis, Troy Davis' mother, is more succinct.
"I don't believe that my son got a fair trial," she said. "My son was in there (the courtroom) fighting for his life, and I should have been in there with him."
Both women said they were barred from the courtroom during the trial because prosecutors listed them as potential witnesses.
"There was a lot of hatred directed against my brother and my entire family," Correia said.
Virginia Davis recalled how her son worked, then cashed his check and left $80 on her dresser each payday to help pay for groceries.
Or how he could be counted on to do his chores each weekend.
"Most young men wouldn't do that. He did," she said.
The Rev. Samuel Williams, pastor of Faith Missionary Baptist Church and president of the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance, also has questions.
"Based on what I have heard and what I know about the case, it seems to be a miscarriage of justice," Williams said. "I don't know.
"I think there is a grave discrepancy between process and perception. Once people develop a perception, it becomes the truth. ... It becomes more powerful than the truth."
Williams said he hopes the pardons and paroles board moves toward clemency for Davis.
On June 25, the board conducted a clemency hearing for John Hightower, 68, in a July 1987 conviction.
He was executed a day later.
If Davis is executed, both the Davis and the MacPhail families lose, Correia said.
"I want justice for Mark MacPhail, just like she (Mrs. MacPhail) does," Correia said.
"I'm on death row just like Troy," she said. "My entire family have been. You're not just killing that person. You're killing their families."

15 cruises on Carnival & considering RCI

Thanks to all of you. I do agree about the food since everyone's taste is so different. I have also read that the Carnival cabins are larger than the other ships but I would have to research to see how much square footage difference there is before booking.
I went to the Vacations to go site yesterday afternoon and did some research on the various lines, ships and itineraries. I chose them because they have a search engine where I can type in the port of call and a time frame and get a list of all the ships from each line and departure port. I printed out the info on each ship and the itineraries for each from this site, withouth having to go to each cruise line site. This gives me a lot to compare and all the detail I needed on each ship.
Now I just need to decide what we want to do on our next cruise so I can cancel the one we booked with Carnival for May 2010 and transfer my deposit with the TA.

Sawbuck Gamer is our daily review of a free or cheap ($10 or less) game.
There's a romance attached to the seaplane. Hayao Miyazaki knew it when he created Porco Rosso, the people at Disney knew it when they transplanted the characters from The Jungle Book into the serialized TaleSpin, and the makers of FX's Archer knew it when they cast Patrick Warburton as a rugged seaplane captain. The seaplane's cultural moment seems to last forever. So thank goodness someone has finally had the good sense to make a game that captures our collective imaginings of the glamorous life of a seaplane pilot.
Superficially, Air Mail is a straightforward airplane game. Most missions consist of flying through rings, or picking up objects and delivering said objects elsewhere on the map. It's a tried-and-true formula that has been banging around at least since Pilotwings on the Super NES. Where Air Mail stands apart, though, is in the charming presentation. The colorful cast of characters keeps the action bright and jubilant, the varied island cities are full of interesting nooks and crannies, and the story moves smoothly from serene island life to the perils of war and back again. It's rare that a video game sees fit to include a satisfying denouement after its action-packed climax, which makes Air Mail's main story particularly delightful.
Most of the fun, though, is found beyond the story-based Mission Mode, in the other two play areas. Express Delivery is a challenge mode where players can compete against friends to see who can deliver the most packages, catch the most fish, or fly through the most rings in a limited span of time. Explore Mode has players fly across the game's several maps, hunting out landmarks and hidden markers much like the island exploration games (that is, the most fun parts) of Nintendo's Wii Sports Resort and Pilotwings Resort. Air Mail is a fitting game to start the summer—a tropical vacation of errand-running, enemy-dodging, and tropical sightseeing.

- Blades for Veritas Low Angle Block Plane
In a nutshell, O1 steel is easy to hone and a very fine edge achieved relatively quickly. A2 steel is a little more difficult to sharpen but retains its edge for longer. The downside being, because of the different grain structure the A2 won't be quite as sharp as the O1. What does this mean in practice? If you're roughing something to size or planing abrasive exotics then A2 is probably the better choice. However, for fine finishing or the pure pleasure of working with the very sharpest of tools then go for the O1 option. Various blades for working difficult wood, 38° bevel blades are available in A2 or O1 tool steel. The A2 toothed blade (38° bevel) works the most difficult grain, especially knots. The small, square teeth leave a textured surface that can be smoothed with a finely set plane or a scraper.

Carlo Ancelotti will remain on the Paris Saint-Germain hotseat for the 2013-14 campaign, says President Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
The Italian has been linked with an exit at the end of the season amidst reports that PSG want to hire Real Madrid's Jose Mourinho.
"Ancelotti is staying at PSG," Al-Khelaifi told L'Equipe. "I don't understand why Ancelotti's future has been placed into doubt.
"He has a contract here with us until 2014 and, if the team finish the season in the top three, then his stay here will be certain – 100 per cent."
Ancelotti, 53, was appointed as PSG boss in December 2011 as a replacement for Antoine Kombouaré.
The former midfielder has worked abroad as a Coach since he left Milan in 2009 for Premiership giants Chelsea.

5 Ways to Personalize Your Tech
Personalization doesn't ever get old for me. Everyone likes to have something unique to them, and that usually means having an initial or some form of your name to distinguish your things from others. I'm no different, and wanted to share 5 fun ways to personalize your tech.
Alphabet iPhone Cases: Created through Jessica Hische's Daily Drop Cap project, these cases are each decorated with a different letter from the alphabet. The cases would be perfect for typeface enthusiasts. I also just really like having my belongings stamped with my initials.
Electronic Bookplates: I came across this really awesome DIY project on Design Sponge. Leaving a book at a restaurant or on a plane can be one of the most annoying things ever. Now that so many of us use tablets as our books, among many other features, it's a bigger deal than losing a paperback. Borrowing the nameplate concept from paperbacks, Max teaches you how to create a nameplate for your devices' screens so that if they do happen to be left somewhere, your name is the first thing everyone sees. It's also just a cool customization idea.
Mac App Icon Sets: Our desktop icons are something we stare at on a daily basis and click on multiple times a day. Why not customize them if you can? A lot of sites out there have icons sets you can buy. I don't personalize all my icons, but like a little variety when it comes to my chat apps.
Android Icon Packs: Similar to Mac icons, you can also customize your Android phone. The first step is to get a Launcher, which will enable you to change your icons and customize your settings. Once your Launcher is set up, you can download Icon packs and choose a set that you like to customize the way icons look on your phone.
Personalized Cases: Another easy way to personalize is to do it with sleeves and cases. Etsy always has a wide variety of customized cases. Two of my favorite ones come from LoveyDoveyCreations for iPad sleeves and rabbitsmile for both iPhone and iPad cases.

Yankees' Rivera starts long goodbye
Closer formally announces plans to retire after season
Updated 12:53 am, Sunday, March 10, 2013
TAMPA, Fla. — Mariano Rivera and his family walked into the pavilion behind the third-base stands at Steinbrenner Field followed by his New York Yankees' teammates.
It was the start of the long goodbye for baseball's greatest closer.
Dressed in a dark jersey top and pinstriped uniform pants, Rivera announced what already had leaked out in prior days: This will be his 19th and final major league season. He has a clear vision of how he wants his career to end.
"The last game I hope will be throwing the last pitch in the World Series," he said. "Winning the World Series, that would be my ambition."
He made his first game appearance since April 30, throwing 15 pitches during a 1-2-3 fifth inning against Atlanta. Looking like his overpowering self of old, Rivera retired Dan Uggla on a popup to second, then threw called third strikes past Juan Francisco and Chris Johnson. "It was great to be on the mound again," Rivera said with a big smile.
Rivera and shorstop Derek Jeter made their 2013 spring training debuts in the Yankees' 2-1 loss to the Atlanta Braves, which dropped New York's AL-worst exhibition record to 3-11.
Mets: Lucas Duda and John Buck drove in two runs each and Ike Davis scored three times as the New York Mets beat the Houston Astros 9-6. Mets starter Jeremy Hefner allowed one hit in three scoreless innings.
Red Sox: Dylan Bundy pitched two innings in his first spring start, helping the Baltimore Orioles beat the Boston Red Sox 5-2. Boston's Felix Doubront went three innings, giving up two runs on four hits and a walk with five strikeouts.
World Baseball Classic: A fierce brawl that saw Alfredo Aceves and several players throw nasty punches erupted in the ninth inning of Canada's 10-3 romp over Mexico in a melee that also involved fans. Multiple fights broke out after Canada's Rene Tosoni was hit in the back by a pitch from Arnold Leon with the score 9-3. Even when the fisticuffs ended, Canadian pitching coach Denis Boucher was hit in the face by a full water bottle thrown from the crowd. Canada shortstop Cale Iorg angrily threw the bottle back into the crowd. Several police officers came onto the field trying to restore order, and there were a few skirmishes in the decidedly pro-Mexico crowd of 19,581. ... David Wright of the New York Mets hit a grand slam to lead the U.S. team to 6-2 victory over Italy.

Report - West Ham v West Brom
Upton Park
10 November 2010
Attendance: 33,023
Disappointing - that's the word that could be used to describe last night's game. Not because it lacked action but because things could have turned out a lot better for both teams. The Hammers will be disappointed because they had turned the game around to lead 2-1 and would have expected to go on and win and the Baggies will be disappointed that they gifted West Ham a goal shortly after Peter Odemwingie had put them ahead with a penalty and also that they couldn't go on and force a win after finishing the game in the ascendancy. However, this point could prove important to both teams come the end of the season and should not be viewed as any sort of disappointment. Whatever, the Hammers may think about West Brom the facts show that they have started the season exceptionally well whilst West Ham have had a dreadful beginning and therefore they should be grateful to get a point from a team that so far has proven to be superior.
The game started with a fair amount of possession for the home side but they lacked any real cutting edge and the Baggies always looked comfortable. Albion took the lead after Mike Dean had spotted Boa Morte grab hold of Stephen Reid in the penalty area. Why don't all referees spot this form of cheating. Odemwingie despatched the penalty with ease sending Green the wrong way. Soon after though some diabolical play in their own half saw Scharner dispossessed before Scott Parker unleashed an unstoppable shot into the corner of Carson's net. There were no additions to the score in the first half although Boa Morte did test the Albion keeper with a rasping shot at his near post before Mr Dean blew his whistle for the break. Within five minutes of the restart West Ham were ahead after Tamas was, perhaps harshly, adjudged to have pushed Dyer over. Carson was beaten by Piquionne's spot kick and the East End faithful cheered with the expectation of three points ahead. Piquionne could have added to the tally a few moments later but he screwed his shot wide of Carson's right hand post, in truth he shouldn't have been allowed to shoot as he was clearly offside. From then on the Baggies picked up the pace and with the introduction of Simon Cox they began to rain shots in on Green's goal. The pressure finally told when Pablo was left all on his own in the area to power home a header from Chris Brunt's inch perfect cross. It was the Spaniard's first Premier League goal and he wasn't sure how to celebrate other than to look surprised in front of the travelling fans. Sadly, Albion couldn't claim the winner despite concerted pressure up to the final whistle.
Di Matteo will be pleased to have gained a point with a team weakened by injury and suspension, we shouldn't forget that Tamas was the only regular defender playing last night and the player of the season, Mulumbu was also missing, he should be back for Wigan as should Shorey.

The Calhoun County Sheriff's Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public its seventh opportunity in three years to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs.
The Sheriff's Department in Pittsboro will accept all medications for disposal from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 26 as part of National Take Back Drugs Day.
Deputy Kenneth White said expired/unused drugs will be accepted, "no questions asked" so that they may be disposed of properly.
Americans turned in 371 tons (over 742,000 pounds) of prescription drugs at over 5,800 sites operated by the DEA and its thousands of state and local law enforcement partners during a similar effort last April. In its six previous "Take Back" events, DEA and its partners took in over 2.8 million pounds – more than 1,400 tons – of pills.
White said ridding these drugs from county homes is a vital public safety and public health issue.
"Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse," White said. "Rates of prescription drug abuse are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs."
Recent studies suggest a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines – flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash – both pose potential safety and health hazards.

Smarter You: Get the outside of your house ready for winter!
I realized just the other day that both my husband and kiddo are in need of new winter coats. They both had ones that have been around for a few seasons, and now she has outgrown hers and he, well, out-wore his. Even though it's still pretty nice out and not too, too chilly yet, it's good to plan ahead for these things, no?
Same goes for your abode. There's nothing worse than grabbing your snow blower when Mother Nature just dumped 12 inches and remembering it conked out last November. Before the later-fall/winter season hits, go around the outside of your home and take note of what you need to do to get ready (we'll have a checklist of stuff you need to do for the inside of your abode next week).
-- Cover that furniture. If you have patio furniture, most can stay outside, but it needs to be properly protected. You can buy relatively inexpensive covers from many home stores. Some lighter chairs should be taken indoors so as not to get toppled or damaged by heavy snowfall. One cool idea for a patio table: place a pail or bucket upside-down on the table and then cover it. This way, rain will run off and prevent the forming of a heavy ice layer that could crack it.
-- Turn off the outside water. One of the main issues homeowners have in the winter is broken pipes. Shut off the water to the outside areas, and then run all of them to empty out the pipes. Gather up those hoses (empty them too!) and stash them in the garage until Spring.
-- Clear out the flowers beds. If you have a lot of leaves and sticks that have fallen recently, clear them out now, before they get covered with snow. While you are at it, aerate that soil to make next spring easier for your flowers to bloom.
-- Locate all of your winter equipment. Where's that snow blower, the leftover rock salt from last year, all of the de-icers things for the windshields? Test those that need testing and stock up on what you know you will use.
-- Clear out those gutters. If old debris is left there and freezes up, it can really wreck your gutters. Possibly think about getting mesh covers to prevent it. Oh, and be sure to be safe if you are climbing ladders (always helps to have a buddy around).
What do you do to get the outside of your home ready for winter? When did you last clean out your gutters?
©iStockphoto.com/ drxy
My SO just cleaned out our gutters and covered the air conditioners last week. We need to do some raking, but there's still a lot of leaves that are going to come down.
Need some Time for You? Feeling stressed? Kick back, relax & take a break. If you're a woman who just wants to have fun, here's the place :)
Gardenias inside,
Hose disconnected & aprinklers turned off
We don't have harsh winters so we just fertilize the lawn and rake the leaves.
we check the gutters and clean them twice a year, cant wait to have enough money to buy the covers for them this way it will be much easier. I also go around checking the windows and making sure there is no gaps. Inside we change the heater filter.
We've never done anything, including to our sprinkler system. I'm sure one day it'll bite us but so far we've been fine.

The Orioles are trying to retrieve Josh Bell's home run ball.
They hope it's the first of many.
Bell homered for the first time in 75 major league at-bats, bringing home Felix Pie in the second inning and giving the Orioles a 2-0 lead.
Pie led off with a single and Craig Tatum struck out looking - because it's the thing to do in this series - before Bell stepped to the plate.
The ball traveled 394 feet to center field. The Orioles would like for it to carry a little further - into his locker.
I guess it was Bell's turn to be the switch-hitting No. 9 batter to homer off Cliff Lee. Cesar Izturis did it back in Arlington in Lee's first start with the Rangers.
Bell's batting from the right side today. The home run will totally mess up his splits.
Pitcher Steve Johnson, who joined Bell in the George Sherrill trade with the Dodgers, starts tonight at Double-A Bowie.
Instant update: The lead didn't last long. Texas scored twice in the top of the fourth. Vladimir Guerrero had an RBI double and later scored on Bengie Molina's sacrifice fly.
Instant update II: The tie didn't last long. Ty Wigginton and Luke Scott hit back-to-back bombs in the bottom of the fourth to give the Orioles a 4-2 lead. Wigginton's ball traveled an estimated 442 feet into the Orioles' bullpen, which seems a bit extreme. Scott's measured 422 feet to right-center field.
Lee has allowed 12 homers this season, including six to the Orioles.
I just received a text message from my sister: "Lugo smiled. Make a note of it."

In San Francisco, Squidge Sullivan, press agent for the Putnam and Bailey Circus, contrives to tie publicity about his lion tamer, Jakra the Magnificent, with news of the rescue of Tama, a young woman claiming to be the long-lost heir to the Chase fortune. Although Tama, who was rescued from the jungles of Malaya by Professor Thornton, is welcomed by the Chase family, they demand proof of her heritage, especially after Jakra rejects Tama's claim that her pet tiger can swim. Tama returns to the jungle with Jakra, his girl friend Carol, Sullivan and Thornton, to look for a metal box containing the papers of Tama's parents, who were killed when an elephant, Mabok, rampaged through their village. Native Malayans agree to escort the expedition to Forbidden Valley, home of Mabok and Tama's former village, and as the group makes its way through the jungle, Jakra falls in love with Tama and sees that her tiger friend, Naya, indeed swims. The natives, who learn that there is no treasure at the end of the journey, attempt to kill the group and steal their supplies, but flee after a protective Naya attacks one of their members. Later, they are killed when Mabok goes on a rampage. Tama leads the group to the island where she grew up alone, safe from Mabok, and they then sail a raft to the site of her former village. They find the boxes containing her parents' papers but must escape to the island when Mabok returns. Jakra and Tama remain to build a trap for Mabok, and as they confess their love for each other, Carol and Thornton, on the island, also fall in love. In the morning they lead a rampaging Mabok on a chase, which ends when the elephant runs through their trap to a cliff and falls to his death.

Don't Point Finger At Duff
Duff played for an hour on his debut but Glenn Roeder was quick to say he was pleased with the performance of the ex-Chelsea winger.
Glenn Roeder: 'That was Damien's first game. He was desperate to get out there and play.
'We got an hour out of him. He started to tire. There were glimpses of the magic he will produce here. He will give us end product in terms of the goals he makes and scores.
'He is a typical Newcastle attacking player. He will become a firm favourite here.'

Pornography becomes an obsessive relationship with fantasy objects. Because real people cannot compete with fantasy, pornography ultimately interferes with—and may even replace—genuine relationships. Cybersex involves online chat rooms and online sexual encounters, and generally includes several aspects of pornography.
This Cybersex Addiction screening test can help determine whether you might have the symptoms of a sexual addiction. Use the results to help decide if you need to see a doctor or other mental health professional to further discuss diagnosis and treatment of addiction to cybersex.
Instructions: This 10-item questionnaire measures mild, moderate, and severe levels of Cybersex Addiction. To assess your level of addiction to the cybersex, answer the following questions.

UK father and police officer Doug Crossan took an extreme measure when he discovered his 13-year-old-son had racked up £3,700 (USD$5600) via in-app purchases on the iOS App Store. After Apple refused to rescind the charges, Crossan decided his next best move was to report his son to the authorities for fraud.
According to a report in the Daily Mail, Crossman's son made more than 300 purchases in apps like Plants vs Zombies, Nova 3 and more. These freemium titles cost little to nothing to download, but include in-app purchases to unlock content within the game. Crossan said that he and his son believed the games were free and didn't understand that these in-game extras cost real money.
Crossan told the Daily Mail that he tried to work with Apple to get the charges reversed, but the company refused. Apple allegedly argued that it is the parent's responsibility to lock down their iOS device. There is a parental control setting that prevents errant purchases by adding a password lock to all in-app purchases or by disabling the feature entirely.
To get the charges reversed by his credit card company, Crossan had to report these purchases as unauthorized to the Action Fraud Hotline, which means his son could be held liable for these charges. Crossan admits he doesn't want to see his son arrested, but he does "want to embarrass Apple as much as possible."
Crossan isn't the only parent facing this problem of excessive in-app purchases. Earlier this month, a UK tot accrued £1,700 ($2500) in charges after his Dad entered his iTunes password to download a free app from the App Store.

Jenny came up with the idea for biannual fashion magazine Rubbish, where 'Vogue and the Beano collide', when heavily pregnant with her second child.
The current issue features Thandie Newton, nu-rave style icon Timmy Mallett, and a 'professionally good-looking' model in his undies. 'It's not a coffee-table book,' says Dyson, 'it's a loo book - funny, subversive, silly and, well, a bit rubbish, too.'
She earned her fashion stripes on and Vogue and is now European editor of Teen Vogue US, but a stint on an Alabama newspaper supplement The Fish Wrapper was her baptism of fire. 'I had to shoot the front cover, write the interviews, edit the whole thing.'
Those skills come in handy with the Daily Rubbish, a daily paper for London Fashion Week and a joint venture with the British Fashion Council. 'The Fish Wrapper and Daily Rubbish are identical: puzzles, comic strips, a column - it's just that Daily Rubbish had Erin O'Connor; The Fish Wrapper had the local marine policeman.'
'Watch this space for Rubbish TV, it would be an updated Why Don't You...?' Dyson says. 'And the Rubbish board game, Rubbish comic... I hope Rubbish takes over the world.' www.rubbishmag.com

The Test of Stewardship
The New York Times reported the following story in 2006:
On a weekend day a few years ago, a rural Georgia couple brought their 4 year old son to the children's hospital in Atlanta. He'd been sick with fevers for several months that just were not going away. The doctors who were on duty ordered blood tests which shoed the boy to have leukemia.
Still, a few symptoms didn't add up. There were some light brown spots on his skin which didn't fit the diagnosis, but the doctors had their blood test and scheduled a strong round of chemotherapy to begin on Monday. After all, fighting against leukemia in one so young is always a race against time. While they meant well, and they followed their protocol, they had committed an error which is very easily committed. As Dr. Bergsagel, a senior oncologist at the hospital later said, "Once you start down one of these clinical pathways, it's very hard to step off."
What Dr. Bergsagel, nor the other doctors realized at the time was that this 4 year old boy had been misdiagnosed. He actually had a form of leukemia which the strong chemotherapy does not cure. It makes the symptoms go away for a month or so, but they soon return and each round of chemotherapy brings a serious risk of death because the body is in such a weakened condition already.
If only this error was rare. In fact, autopsies reveal that doctors seriously misdiagnose fatal illnesses about 20% of the time. Literally millions of patients are being treated for the wrong disease. The most shocking thing about that statistic, however, is that, according to the New York Times, that percentage has not changed since the 1930's. A big part of the reason for this situation is that, while we have made advancement in the treatment of disease, the emphasis on treatment has not been matched with an emphasis on diagnosis.
Jason had his little girl misdiagnosed in 1999. The doctors called his daughter's case of flesh-eating infection, chicken pox. When her organs began to shut down, the doctors realized their mistake. Jason was so shaken by the experience that he quit his finance job and founded a company to create software that would help doctors diagnose disease. He named the software "Isabel" after his daughter.
It was that software that Dr. Bergsagel used on Monday morning when he entered that 4 year old's symptoms into his computer. As a beta tester of the program he was immediately presented with a number of diagnostic options. At the top was the rare form of leukemia that Dr. Bergsagel had never seen before.
Now here's the tragic part. Even though this program is available, and even though it's 750.00 price tag per physician is a bargain given the life it may save, at the time the article was written, most hospitals had not purchased the program. The reason: Hospitals get paid to treat illnesses, not diagnose them. They have to way to recoup the money they spend on programs like Isabel.
The point? Well, in medicine misdiagnosis can be fatal. Only the proper diagnosis can lead to the right treatment. And that doesn't just apply to medicine. It applies to your spiritual life too. Really understanding where you are spiritually is the result of the proper diagnosis. You've got to see yourself like you really are. Every believer needs a copy of "Isabel" to really understand what's going on inside their heart.
You see, it's possible for you to really believe that you're a Christ follower, when you're not. It's easy for you to think you have faith because you mentally assent to some facts about Jesus. But faith isn't just thinking the right thoughts, it gets actualized in doing the right deeds. That's why I want you to hear this message. You may actually learn about the state of your own soul and that lesson could really be a revelation. It could change your eternal destiny.
And others of you really must listen because this message could change your eternal reward. You've been drifting along, content in the knowledge that you are on your way to heaven, but you've never really stopped very long to think about how things will be for you in heaven when you get there. This I know: The Bible is clear that genuine believers stand before the Lord to be rewarded according to their faithfulness. That can mean a lot of things, but there's one sure thing it means: What we do now with the resources we have will impact how we are rewarded then.
You might say, "That's all well and good, but what do you mean by that, Rusty? What does my money say about my heart? Well, I am convinced after reading the parable I am preaching on this morning, that your money management is a diagnostic tool. If you've been to the shop lately with your car, you've seen some pretty sophisticated diagnostic equipment. Onboard computers have revolutionized car engine repair. Instead of having to listen to the engine like a mechanic did in the "old days," now the diagnostic machine hooks into your car's onboard computer and spits out a sheet that tells the mechanic exactly what's wrong . . . or at least that's how it's supposed to work.
Stewardship is like that sophisticated diagnostic machine. Your money management gives you a detailed read out on your soul. It diagnoses you. Read about this diagnostic tool with me in this little story Jesus gives us here in Luke 19:11
Now as they heard these things, He spoke another parable, because He was near Jerusalem and because they thought the kingdom of God would appear immediately. 12 Therefore He said: "A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return. 13 So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come.' 14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, 'We will not have this man to reign over us.'
15 "And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, he then commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. 16 Then came the first, saying, 'Master, your mina has earned ten minas.' 17 And he said to him, 'Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.' 18 And the second came, saying, 'Master, your mina has earned five minas.' 19 Likewise he said to him, 'You also be over five cities.'
20 "Then another came, saying, 'Master, here is your mina, which I have kept put away in a handkerchief. 21 For I feared you, because you are an austere man. You collect what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.' 22 And he said to him, 'Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was an austere man, collecting what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow. 23 Why then did you not put my money in the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with interest?'
24 "And he said to those who stood by, 'Take the mina from him, and give it to him who has ten minas.' 25 (But they said to him, 'Master, he has ten minas.') 26 'For I say to you, that to everyone who has will be given; and from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 27 But bring here those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, and slay them before me.' "
Now I know you're probably saying, "Well, I don't see where you get a diagnostic tool out of that passage." I understand, but it really is there. Let me show you. This parable tells us three diagnoses that our money management makes on our lives. First:
Now if you grew up in church, this parable sounds familiar to you. That's because it resembles the parable of the talents that Christ tells in Matt 25. But there are some significant differences which, I believe, make a difference.
First, in this parable, the Owner gives each servant the same amount, regardless of their ability. It says: So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come. You see, each one received the same thing: a "mina." A mina was worth 100 drachmas and represented the three month salary of an average worker. What's the point of this difference? One commentator writes:
If Matthew describes how different opportunities were equally used, Luke describes how equal opportunities were differently used by successful servants.
That difference shows up in their results. The first servant gains ten more minas, the second gains five and the third gains zero. The question becomes, why the difference? Why did one of the servants gain 10 times his investment. From what I have studied I believe it is because one of the servants was wiser, worked harder, was more committed. You see, he took his master's investment and determined to make it count and the results came.
By the way, I believe you see that justified in this text. For one thing, the difference in the results were clearly not because the owner gave one more opportunity or ability. The gift to them was the same. It was the results that differed. I think you also see this in what the Master says to them when he comes back to check on their progress. Start reading with me in v 16. It says: Then came the first, saying, 'Master, your mina has earned ten minas.' 17 And he said to him, 'Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.' That was the first servant. He invested his masters money and earned a 10-fold return. He is praised.
Now, notice the second servant, in v 18: And the second came, saying, 'Master, your mina has earned five minas.' 19 Likewise he said to him, 'You also be over five cities.' Notice something missing? Where's the praise? Where's the "well done?" It's missing. Now I don't want to make too big a deal over that, but there seems to be some distinction. There certainly is when it comes to the reward, for the first servant gets 10 cities and the second gets 5, even though they started out with the same one mina they ended up with different results and they received different praise and different rewards.
Now I think that all of this can be directly applied to you and me. You see, your management of your God-given resources tells you some things about yourself. First, it tells you something about your sense of urgency. Why did one servant gain 10 minas and the other 5? Well, it's probably because the 10 mina servant had a different sense of urgency. He believed that stewardship made a difference. He believed that how he invested this money was a direct reflection of what he thought of his master so he worked with a great sense of urgency.
Your stewardship tells you something about your sense of urgency as well. If you take all the blessings of God and squander them on toys and things that will not matter for eternity, you'll find that you'll never be a 10 mina-servant! Commitment flows from a sense of urgency about the will and the plan of God and how you handle His resources diagnoses the presence or the absence of that commitment.
Your managment tells you about your sense of urgency and it also tells you about your sense of ownership. I think you'll have to say that the first two servants at least had a strong sense of whose money they were managing. At first glance it seems like the third one does as well, but I am not so sure. Notice what he does with what he is given in v 20: Then another came, saying, 'Master, here is your mina, which I have kept put away in a handkerchief. Now, at first you think, "Wow, he was really careful with that money," but my research indicates that just the opposite was true. While it was a practice to keep money like this and could be found in the rabinnic writings, such a practice was regarded as being unsafe. You see, not only did the third servant not do anything with his master's money, he actually did not even protect it. In so doing, he was saying, "I have no regard for my master's ownership."
And your stewardship tells you something about your sense of ownership as well. If you take God's investment in your life, HIS money and treat it as if it is yours, you are in the third servant's category. The management of God's resources tells you what kind of commitment you really have to Him.
So let me ask you: How committed are you to Christ? While you might want to answer that question in a way that makes yourself look good, and that's just a natural response all of us would give, I must tell you that it is not your words but your managment that really tells the tale. If you want to know how committed to Christ you really are, you must answer this question: Where are you putting the resources He has given you to manage?
Where are you placing your energy? Does God get the leftovers of your life? Does your Quiet time happen as an afterthought or do you give God the "sweetspot" of your day, whatever that is?
What about your time? Where are you spending that resource? I know that all of us only have limited time, but I also know that your time must be planned or it slips through your fingers like sand. So, where are you PLANNING to spend your time? Does God get the most? Does God get the best?
And of course, where are you putting God's money? Do you honor Him with the first fruits of your increase? Do you tithe? Do you commit everything to Him? Have you increased what you give to Him as He has increased your income over the years, or do you still put in the same $20 every week?
Here's the truth: Don't say that Jesus means everything to you, if He doesn't receive everything from you. You say "That's quite a commitment!" Yes it is. That's why Jesus told you to count the cost.
One man, with a sanctified imagination, offered the following idea of what it is like to surrender your all to God:
"I want this pearl, how much is it?"
"Well," the seller says, "it is very expensive."
But how much, we ask.
Well, a very large amount.
Do you think I could buy it?
O, of course, everyone can buy it.
But, didn't you say it was expensive?
Well how much is it?
Everything you have, says the seller
We make up our minds, "All right, I'll buy it, " we say
Well what do you have? He wants to know. Let's right it down.
Well, I have ten thousand dollars in the bank.
Good-ten thousand dollars. What else?
That's all. That's all I have.
Nothing more?
Well, I have a few dolars in my pocket
How much?
WE start digging. "Well, let's see–thirty forty sixty, eighty, a hundred, a hundred 20 dollars.
That's fine. What else you got?
Well nothing. That's all
Where do you live? He's still probing
In my house. Yes I have a house.
The house too, then. He writes that down.
You mean I have to live in my camper?
You have a camper? That, too. What else?
Well, you already havemy money, my house, my camper, my cars. What more do you want?
Are you alone in this world?
No, I have a wife and two children
O yes, your wife and children, too. What else?
Suddenly the seller exlaims, "O I almost forgot! You yourself, too! Everything becomes mine–wife, children, house, money, cars–and you too."
Now listen–I'll allow you to use all these things for the time being. But don't forget, they belong to me and you'fe just managing them. Whenever I need any of them, youmust give them up, because now, I am the owner
Knowing Jesus is the pearl of greatest price. Nothing compares with it, but if you are to know Him it will cost you everything you have. That's why your stewardship diagnoses the depth of your commitment.
One of the grandest features of Jesus' parables were their surprises. You know, you'll be tooling along through one of He parables and all of a sudden, He'll turn the tables on you and throw you something you were never expecting. In this parable, one of those table-turning moments comes to the one-talent wonder. You know what happens: He does absolutely nothing with his Master's investment and brings back his mina wrapped in a towel. Look at how the Master judges him in v 22:
And he said to him, 'Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was an austere man, collecting what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow. 23 Why then did you not put my money in the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with interest?'
24 "And he said to those who stood by, 'Take the mina from him, and give it to him who has ten minas.' 25 (But they said to him, 'Master, he has ten minas.') 26 'For I say to you, that to everyone who has will be given; and from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
Our first response, when we hear what happens to this guy is to do exactly what the people do: Criticize the Master's response. When he takes the mina away from the unfaithful servant and gives it to the ten-mina servant, the people standing around say: "But he's already got 10 mina's. Why are you giving him another one? Jesus answer is clear: "Everyone who has will be given; and from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him."
Why does Jesus do this? Because Jesus is investing for the Kingdom. The ten mina servant had proven himself to be the most faithful and, thus, he was rewarded with more resources and responsibilities. That's the way God's economy works: If I am faithful with a little, He gives more. If I am irresponsible with a lot, He takes it away, if not in this life, in eternity. You see, the way I manage God's resources here speaks volumes about my significance in His kingdom there. It diagnoses the significance of my future.
And just in case some of you might be tempted to say, "But I am saved by grace through faith and my works do not matter," let me just say, you're right! You're right, that is, when it comes to your salvation. You cannot buy your way into heaven with dollars nor deeds. But your reward and your responsibility in heaven will be determined by what you do here. Need proof? Listen to 2 Cor 5:10:
Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent (that is whether dead or alive), to be well pleasing to Him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
That's pretty clear! God's saved you by grace, and left you here as a manager with resources of time, talent, and treasure to manage and he expects you to be a steward of all three.
Will you just bear with this rabbit trail for a minute? Will you notice that I said "all three." Some people have the mistaken impression that its either, or. They think, "Well, if I give my time, I don't have to give my treasure. I just add up all the hours I spend in ministry, translate that into dollars, and that makes up for the fact that I don't give squat to God." I'm sorry, but you don't find that in scripture. All of your resources are to be dedicated to God! And what you do with those resources determines what happens in your eternity.
Which just leads me to say this to those of you who are seeking God, but you are not yet a Christ-follower. Can I just give you a reason to step over that line of faith? Here it is: Eternity is real! There really is a heaven to gain that will have tangible significant responsibilities and rewards. I know what some people say. They're fond of this habit or that sin and they don't want to give it up to become a believer so they'll say something like this: "Hey, Rusty, I don't want to miss out on heaven, but I'm just going to wait until I'm on my death bed to commit my life to Christ. That way, I'll get the best of both worlds." At the risk of insulting you, can I just tell you: That is a dumb, dumb idea!
In the first place, you may not die on a bed. You may die with your boots on or in some sort of accident or something like that. Now, listen, I don't wish you harm and I'm not trying to be morbid, I'm just saying that you have no clue about this and if you stake your eternal life on dying in a bed, you're taking a huge risk.
And even if you die on a bed, who's to say whether God will be convicting you at that point. I've seen many people, dying unsaved, who refused to repent. You cannot be saved unless the Holy Spirit draws you and if you hear Him calling you today, your day of salvation is NOW not then whenever then may be.
But, even if you die on a bed, and you get genuinely converted on that bed, when you get to heaven, you'll be a pauper. You'll have no reward. Your reward will have been forfeited by your refusal on days just like this one, to turn your life over to Christ and begin to serve Him with His resources.
And Christian, please know that God has left you here for a reason! He's not left you here in this world to chase after money to enrich yourself. He is just like this owner in this parable. He has given you resources for a reason, so . . .
What's in your bank account? What's in your garage? What's hanging on your wall at home? What kind of home do you live in? Do this right now with me, will you I want you to picture all of the resources you have. Picture them in your mind right now and as you are picturing them, in your minde, draw a huge question mark through them. I tell you to do that because everything you have been given is really a test from God. He's using your camry to see whether you are a faithful manager; He's using your certificate of deposit to see whether you are a faithful manager; He's using your home to see whether you are a faithful manager. The day will come when you get to heaven when He will look at your record of management, and based on how you took care of what He trusted you with, He will give you your reward and your responsibility in heaven. Your stewardship diagnoses the significance of your future and it diagnoses the depth of your commitment. But most importantly:
There is a little detail of this parable that I had never noted until I was studying it for this message. Notice that the two faithful servants are rewarded with what? That's right cities! They returned to the master a simple return on his investment, and they, in turn, are given a huge reward. This master was very giving and gracious. In this story, however, after the 10-mina servant is graciously and generously rewarded with 10 cities and the 5-mina servant with 5, along comes the fearful servant. Look at what he says about his master in v 20
Then another came, saying, 'Master, here is your mina, which I have kept put away in a handkerchief. 21 For I feared you, because you are an austere man. You collect what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.' 22 And he said to him, 'Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was an austere man, collecting what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow. 23 Why then did you not put my money in the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with interest?
Even though the master demonstrates his fairness in giving to them equally; even though he generously rewards those servants who were faithful, the unfaithful servant says something interesting: He says that the master is an "austere" man. One commentator says of this:
The master is 'exacting, strict' which means he is a grasping person who wants money without the labour of earning it. He takes what he has not put aside: the metaphor is drawn from banking, and is used here to describe a person who seeks a disproportionately high return from his investments. The servant appears to have feared that he would get no return for his work: all the profit would have been taken by the master.
You know what that tells me about this guy: Just this: If the others served faithfully and trusted the master; if the others made money on their investments and were rewarded; and if the others didn't just receive a reward, but received an amazingly generous reward; if all these things were true, those who served faithfully knew and trusted their master and the unfaithful servant didn't even know the master at all! One commentator wrote of this unfaithful servant.
The third servant also represents a strong warning. Connection to a Christian community is not what makes a Christian, even if that person has stewardship responsibilities in that community. A Christian is a person who has a relationship of trust with Jesus. The Christian knows, because he or she has responded to the gospel, that God is gracious to those who turn to him for forgiveness. Service to him and other people is the response of a changed and grateful heart that has embraced what it means to be forgiven. The first and second servants have understood the call to respond to the nobleman, while the third servant doubted the master's character in slanderous ways. This parable calls on us to examine whether our perceived relationship to God is purely formal or real.
The parable suggests on the surface that the third servant lacks fruit in his life, but there is really a more basic complaint. He is condemned on the basis of his own words, that is, on the basis of his own heart attitude to God, for he sees the master as a hard, unjust taskmaster. Behind his lack of fruit is a lack of recognition of God's grace. That absence of faith is what Jesus condemns here, for it is that heart attitude that prevents this servant from pursuing the master's call. Membership in a church is not a union card to heaven; knowing and embracing God's grace is.
Do you get it? Your unwillingness to properly manage God's resources says something about your view of God. Your unwillingness to tithe and to give of your wealth to God says something specific about whether you really know Him or not. You see, when I understand the gracious heart of God and the greatness and power of God; in short, when I really, really KNOW Him, I trust Him enough to lay down my life for Him and nobody has to beg me to give. I am able to recognize a great investment opportunity when I see one.
So let me ask you: Do you really know Him? Do you? If you do, may I just ask you a couple of questions? Who controls your check book and your bank card? And while I am including your tithe, I'm not limiting it to that. Who controls your finances, is it you or is it God? Who gets to say what you do with the money in your retirement account? Is it you or is it God?
Teens and young adults: Who gets to choose your college, is it you or is it God? Who gets to say who you date or where you work? You or God? And who controls your career path? That you or God?
You know, I've often puzzled over why Jesus told the Rich Young Ruler to sell all he had because he knew that this young man had a problem with control and who called the shots in his life. By the way, when the rich young ruler walked away from Christ, as far as I can tell from that story, he was not heading to heaven. He wasn't able to reject stewardship and still be an ok believer. No! It was all or nothing and this rich young ruler proved that while he said he admired Jesus, he really didn't even know Him at all.
Listen to me believer: If your giving was the only thing we could look at, would there be enough evidence to call you a Christian?
