  • The parties agree to exclusive jurisdiction in, and only in the Czech Republic.

  • The parties agree to exclusive venue in, and only in Czech Republic.

Wank Party 2012 #5, Part 1

We have a great line-up for our latest Wank Party, Tomek Sirnad, Kaja Kolomaz, Daniel Malecky, Milos Zambo and Lukas Pribyl. Lukas, Kaja and Milos are playing ball while Tomek is barbecuing some meat, watched by Daniel. When the food is ready the guys all sit around the table and open some beer as Tomek serves the food. Then, having eaten they begin to play ball again. Lukas leaves them playing and goes inside. He strips off and towels himself. He is joined by Milos who starts to caress him and soon Lukas' cock begins to grow. Milos takes hold of it, feeling how hard it is. He continues to caress Lukas' body and soon drops his own shorts to reveal his hard cock too. The two cocks come together as Lukas begins to feel Milos body too. Milos takes hold of both cocks, in one hand and wanks them. Milos is really turned on and goes down to suck on Lukas' hard cock. He takes it in his mouth and begins to suck and, soon, Lukas starts to fuck Milos face. The other guys all arrive and catch them at it, and soon begin to join in. Milos sucks Lukas again and then hands over to Tomek to taste Lukas' cock. Kaja then begins to suck on Milos rock hard cock too. Tomek's cock needs sucking too so the guys move around so that Daniel and Kaja can suck him as he sucks Milos. Kaja turns and starts to suck Lukas as Kaja sucks his cock. Daniel sucks on his balls at the same time. Tomek switches back and forth between Lukas and Milos and Daniel takes over sucking Tomek while Kaja feels his balls. As we leave them, for the time being Tomek is sucking on Lukas who, still rock hard, wanks on Milos big cock. All the guys are having a great time and things will get even hotter in part 2.

Our Coming Soon Set Preview

Mirek Ceslar is joined by newcomer Tomek Sirnad in this Raunchy Sex duo. Tomek is as soldier and has overslept. Mirek arrives to find out why. He finds him asleep and throws water on his face and starts screaming at him. Tomek wakes and quickly gets out of bed. As he stands there his cock is hard and poking out the leg of his shorts. Mirek as him why he is still wearing socks. Mirek continues to scream at Tomek, telling him to do 10 push-ups. He starts to do them, but Mirek stands on his back and tells him to carry on. Tomek cannot lift that weight so Mirek gets off and puts just one foot on his back, for him to try again. When he has succeeded in the push-ups Tomek stands and Mirek pulls his shorts downa and instructs him to go down on his haunches and walk around, with his hands behind his head. Tomek then stands up and faces Mirek. His big cock is still rock hard. Mirek is intent of really pushing Tomek to his limit. He hangs him, by one ankle, from the ceiling, and begins to slap his and pull on his nipples. Then he wanks that hard cock some before instructing Tomek to do some crunches. Next Mirek starts to suck on Tomek's hard cock, taking it deep in his mouth, and wetting it up with his salvica. He really sucks on that cock before taking a belt and looping it around Tomek's cock. Turning him and pulling on the belt brings that big dick between his legs for Mirek to suck some more. Having pleasured his mouth Mirek decides his cock needs some action and he drops his pants and shoves his hard cock into Tomek's mouth for sucking. But he isn't finished yet, he drops one of Tomek's legs and then that ass is in the perfect position to get fucked. Mirek shoves his rock hard cock deep in Tomek's ass and fucks him nice and hard. All the while Tomek's cock stays fully hard. Mirek takes a break and has a cigarette before deciding to take Tomek down from the ceiling. He puts him on thso thae bed in doggy position so that he can fuck him some more. His cock pounds that ass nice and hard, really opening it up. Then Tomek is moved again, laying on his back, legs tied up in the air, with his hole easily available for more action. Long, deep thrusts of that big cock in Tomek's ass soon have the desired effect on Mirek and he pulls out and blows his load all over Tomek's face. Then Tomek is made to suck the sticky cock clean. Mirek decides that Tomek is not to be allowed to sleep again and puts him in a locker, closing the door and leaving him there.

Thank goodness it’s Friday! I had to walk to the post office today to have some papers notarized. That was a little bit ambitious and I’m paying the price this afternoon. The weather has been nice with occasional thunder storms. I like thunder very much, Aida hates it.

Today, we present the first part of our May Wank Party. I really like Lukas Pribyl. So, does everyone else who looks at him. It took some persuading to get him into the WP. He refused to kiss. But got a roaring hardon every time one of the guys touched him. My favorite type. I’m really going to work on him to get him to do more. I think once he really tests the water, he’ll love it and jump right in.

We start things off today with part one of our latest Wank Party, and have a very strong supporting cast of sets. Anton Kretek’s Erotic Video, Tomas Melus’ Erotic Video, Jirka Valchar’s Session Stills and a wonderful backstage video of Wank Party 2012 #1, the main video of which appeared in January.

We also have three good guys in castings today. Albert Vecko, Miro Sazima and Roman Vysata. My pick for today is Miro Sazima.

Please remember that most of the videos available on BurnDVD are easily able to be downloaded with a single link, but some of the very large files, such as the newsletter DVDs have to be split into three separate links, as detailed below.

The videos with very large file sizes are now split into more than one part, using a program called HJSplit. If you wish to buy one of these larger videos to Burn to DVD, you will receive a link for file and then it is a simple process to join the downloaded files together to make the .iso file for Burning to DVD.

You can see all the available videos at

Before downloading any videos to burn to DVD I advise you to read the BURNDVD Manual, which explains how you can burn the file to DVD. The file is an ISO file which contains all the required DVD files. The process for burning to DVD is fully explained.

The BurnDVD manual is easy to follow, with a step by step guide. Burning a DVD is easy to do, though it is helpful if you have previously burned DVDs or CDs.

The manual can be viewed here: BURNDVD Manual

People were pretty excited when the Dark Forces Team successfully ported WP7 over to the HD2, but it wasn't without its bugs. One of the more annoying of them was that the battery level indicator was inaccurate. Tired of the lies, XDA member, arkatis, decided to do something about it. He has posted a registry hack that seems to resolve the issue.  Here's the quick and dirty on how to do it:

1) Charge your phone until the green light shows up
2) Unplug it from A/C and open registry editor
3) Go to the reg path
4) Edit the value from 6 to 20…press ok..Now you will see the battery indicator level has been changed! Again go and edit the value and from 20 go to ok! Restart and enjoy!

How To Open QWB Files

Reader Question:
"Hi Wally, I am having problems opening QWB Files and wondering how to fix it?"
    - Brian D., New York

 Recommendation:   Scan your Windows registry for problems affecting PC health.

  • Step 1 : Download PC Repair & Optimizer Tool (3.32 MB)
    (WinThruster for Win7, XP, Vista - Microsoft Gold Certified).
  • Step 2 : Install the software (30 seconds). After installing, an automatic scan will begin to find registry issues that could be causing PC problems.
  • Step 3 : After the scan completes (15 seconds), click "Fix Issues" to repair all registry problems.

Setting up weekly (or daily) automatic registry scans will help prevent system problems and keep your PC running fast and trouble-free.

Wally's Answer:

What Are QWB Files?

QWB files are Uncommon Files primarily associated with Money Quotes WriteBack Import File (Microsoft Corporation).

(Other files may also be using the QWB file extension. If you know of any other software using the QWB file extension, please contact us so that we can update our information accordingly.)

Opening QWB Files

The easiest way to open a QWB file is by double clicking on it, which will let the computer decide the best way to open it according to the Windows QWB file association settings.

If your computer opens your QWB file, but it's the incorrect application, you'll need to change your Windows registry file association settings. In other words, Windows is associating QWB file extensions with the wrong software program.

Quick Tip:   Incorrect QWB file association errors can be a symptom of other underlying issues within your Windows operating system. These invalid entries can also produce associated symptoms such as slow Windows startups, computer freezes, and other PC performance issues.

Therefore, it highly recommended that you download WinThruster and scan your Windows registry for invalid file associations and other issues related to a fragmented registry.

If the QWB file fails to open, it is highly likely that your system lacks the application needed to open QWB files. It is common for several applications to share the same QWB file extension label, so it could take some trial and error to figure out what application actually opens your file (if any).

Thus, I highly recommend that you contact the source of your file for more details on what program you need to open your QWB file. This will save your a lot of time and headaches!

Remember to always take caution when opening files that come from unfamiliar sources or emails.

Is Your PC Healthy?

I always recommend to my readers to regularly use a trusted registry cleaner and optimizer such as WinThruster (Download) or CCleaner. Many problems that you encounter can be attributed to a corrupt and bloated registry.

Happy Computing! :)

2014 Black Friday and Cyber Monday Results

November - the month of friends, family, food, Thanksgiving, and, of course, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. In the weeks leading up to Black Friday projections estimated that there would be around 140.1 million unique shoppers, similar to last years prediction of 140.3 million.1 So how did retailers fair and what can we take away from this year's biggest shopping week?

Black Friday In Decline

This year, retailers saw a decline in the number of shoppers online and in-stores on Black Friday and over the entire weekend, down 11% from last year. Consumers who did shop online an in-stores spent an average of $38-.95 over the four days (Thursday-Sunday), 6.4% less than 2013.2Aberage-Spent=By-Customers-Over-Thanksgiving-Weekend

While overall sales were down for Black Friday weekend, online and eCommerce sales set new records on Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday with $1.33 Billion and $2.4 Billion respectively. Mobile traffic made up about 50% of the sales on Black Friday.3

Cyber Monday Sales Up

According to IBM Digital Analytics Benchmark, total sales for Cyber Monday were up 8.7% from 2014. While the average transaction price remained relatively flat year over year, $133.07, mobile sales increased a staggering 29.3% accounting for one in five transactions.4

Cyber Monday has been climbing the ranks to displace Black Friday as top dog since it was created in 2005, and it looks like it succeeded this year. With retailers seeing a less than stellar Black Friday and Cyber Monday, there are a few key takeaways to remember for next year.

  1. Forget the hype, create urgency: One obvious issue this year was that no sense of urgency was created. Retailers started offering sweeping promotions and heavy discounts up to two weeks before Black Friday, leaving customers free to shop when it was convenient. Creating urgency is key to getting customers out and buying your product, the psychology behind this is discussed in greater detail here.
  2. Make room for mobile: As seen in the numbers, mobile is rapidly taking the place of in-person and even shopping from a desktop computer. What does this mean for retailers? If you don't have a plan to make your shopping cart mobile friendly, you could be in trouble. According to Pew Research5, as of January 2014, 58% of American adults have a smartphone and 42% of American adults own a tablet computer, meaning the play for responsive design is huge.
  3. Share the Love: Retailers are discounting products earlier and earlier in the season. When customers are receiving emails throughout the month containing heavy discounts, saving email for Cyber Monday isn't enough. Make sure you've set up a sequence of emails to engage with your customers throughout the holiday season. Leverage high value products and segment your list using customer, product, and purchase data to make sure your customers are receiving relevant offers and emails. Think about creating a lifecycle map to help visualize your plan to engage with customers through the holiday season and beyond.

Despite its differences, wine from Chile has similar origins to that of Argentina. Viticulture was likewise introduced by the Spanish conquistadors, and France later contributed to expanding the varieties. The growing regions, climate and conditions of Chile are a winemaker's dream. With Chilean wineries along the foothills of the Andes Mountains and along the coast, the vineyards are fairly isolated.

Chilean wine is highly ranked and acclaimed internationally as a result of the high quality of the wine produced in this country. Carmenère is their signature grape with a balance of both fruity and spicy. You will also find delicious Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Franc and others. Winemakers take on the aging process with stainless steel or oak barrels, but there is not much vintage variation.

Chile produces fairly consistent profiles that will make this wine an easy go-to no matter which vintage you choose. Browse Wine Chateau to explore different varieties and vintages from Chile.

problems arise when dragging a link - from the 64 bit-program-directory - to wpp !

the ( working ) link uses the fallowing reference

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Mahjong\Mahjong.exe"

that translates wpp to

$Drive\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Mahjong\Mahjong.exe

don't ask why I use this example

as you see the wrong directory is used

Q: is this a known bug ?

I have started to use seven few days ago, and I have the same problem, that seems extended to all applications at 32bit toward the 64 bit environment.
It seems that it is not possible to do a drag and drop between an application at 64 bit and one at 32 ( It seems! ), while between 32 vs 32 all work fine.
For examlpe, if you try to use x-mnuCommander you should be able to use the files drag and drop functionalities because the program is at 32 bit.
Let me know.

--- EDIT ---
sorry JCL, I have misunderstood your message.
I believed that you are speaking about another problem.

I will verify the problem and I will take note of the BUG

Super-famous Instagranimals and their owners

  • 22 Aug 2014
Manny the Frenchie

It all starts with a puppy photo. There are likes, retweets, regrams, comments, encouragement and lulz. And followers.

Then a jaunty little hat or a pair of teeny sunglasses. Babiators look good.

More followers. You swap your smartphone for a 600D. Companies start sending outfits for your pooch to model. Sooner or later, your pet becomes a brand. You are merely your pet's owner.

This is the story of the people behind some of the most popular animal social media accounts. The owners of Princess Monster Truck, Manny the Frenchie, Pudge the Cat, Hamilton the Hipster Cat, Menswear Dog and Jamon the Pig. What started as a hobby has become a business -- or at least a sideline -- for some of these people. spoke to them to find out how they built their pets' audiences and what opportunities have come about through their furry friends.

Jamon the Pig

Type: Pig

Owners: Andrea Mendes & Domenico Massareto

Location: Sao Paulo

Followers: 311,000 (Facebook) 59,000 (Instagram)

On Valentine's Day in 2013, Andrea Mendes's husband eschewed roses in favour of giving her a piglet called Jamon. Like any self-respecting pet owner in a digital age, she created an Instagram account and a Facebook page -- Mendes works at Facebook in Brazil -- to document her housebound porcine pal.

Jamon is bilingual, posting in both Portuguese and English.

Clever little piggy. Mendes has worked hard to create a "voice", while purchasing a staggering array of outfits for him to model, including wings, a zebra onesie, an owl costume and, of course, a Brazilian football shirt. Mendes always makes sure that Jamon is on top of his correspondence: "Jamon answers everything. Even bullies," she told

Mendes has more than a decade of experience in digital marketing, most recently at Facebook. "I learned a lot about how content is important for a brand or celebrity, as a tool for building a direct relationship with customers or fans," she explains. She spends around four hours per day working on Jamon's Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts, plus more time over the weekend when she takes photos of her pet. The year of hard work has paid off: Jamon has already appeared in a TV ad for a car company called Webmotors and a music video for singer Fernanda Takai. "Besides that, Jamon will become a cartoon in October and is already a registered trademark in many countries," she adds.

Jamon's newfound fame has been weird for Mendes. "Everything is unusual when you have a pet pig. Even more if it's a celebrity pig.

Jamon is both our pet and a character, and that's confusing for people." She adds that Jamon is invited to birthday parties, charity rallies and to appear in music videos and "the confusing part is each one of them has a different expectation of how Jamon could help them".

Despite this, Andrea is keen to make sure she never forgets why she started in the first place: "To bring joy to people's lives. If we put a smile on someone's face, we're happy." +++

Princess Monster Truck

Type: Cat

Location: New York

Owners: Tracy Timmons and Joseph Bryce

Followers: 85,000 (Instagram), 19,000 (Facebook)

Princess Monster Truck is a New York-based Persian cat with an unusual jawline that leaves her lower teeth protruding from her jaw. Artists Tracy Timmons and Joseph Bryce took her in after finding her wandering in the streets. Timmons started to post pictures of Princess Monster Truck (PMT) to her own account initially, before launching a dedicated Instagram account. Her intention was to encourage other people to adopt and rescue pets, but Buzzfeed featured PMT and the story went viral. PMT became an internet celebrity and brands and charities started to get in touch.

Timmons and Bryce only work with companies that they feel "reflect the level of integrity we hope to convey through our crazy rescued cat". A portion of any money they make goes to animal shelters.

Along with endorsements, the couple has also moved into merchandise: designing clothing adorned with PMT's face. "Recently, I've been working with artists to design our T-shirts, which feature our cat Princess Monster Truck. The artist receives a small flat stipend and then also gets to choose a non-profit shelter or animal cause they would like to sponsor and we donate a portion of the T-shirt proceeds to the shelter they choose," explains Timmons to

The audience growth has happened organically. "I find the less I try -- the more I just make the weird cat videos that amuse me, and post things that immediately come to my head -- the better and more

'liked' the posts are."

Comedy seems to come naturally to the animal: "Princess Monster Truck is really funny. Animals in general are really funny and a human trying to relate or anthropomorphise animals is usually a really funny situation," Timmons tells

As an artist, Timmons finds the visual side of documenting PMT relatively easy, but she finds some of the conventions of communicating on social media -- for example, using hashtags -- "weird". This led her to use absurdly long hashtags that would never be helpful for linking to other people's pictures.

Maintaining PMT's social media profile takes around an hour per day, depending on the cat's mood, but the admin around it -- responding to emails, sorting out deals -- takes at least one full day every week. "Sometimes she's more camera friendly than others.

I don't have a nice camera, so timing is everything."

The strangest opportunity to arise through the cat, was when American Express came forward to feature Timmons and PMT in a video, in return for a "sizeable donation" to the Sean Casey Animal Rescue. "I was really nervous about physically appearing in the video, because let's face it, I know everyone just wants to see the cat, but everyone in the project made it really fun and were so encouraging.

I was really proud of the outcome."

So what's next for PMT? "We've always really wanted Princess Monster Truck to host a show which would feature some of our favourite things: educating people about unique and endangered animals, funny cat antics and maybe some rock 'n' roll music. For kids and adult alike," Timmons explains.

Manny the Frenchie

Type: Dog

Location: Chicago

Owners: Amber Chavez and Jon Huang

Followers: 541,000 (Instagram)

260,000 (Facebook), 19,000 (Twitter)

Manny the Frenchie is a three-year-old French bulldog who lives with owners Amber Chavez and Jon Huang and four other dogs in Chicago.

When the couple first got Manny, Chavez started to post a few pictures to her personal Instagram account. "But we noticed other people creating pages for their pets and thought it would be fun to post as Manny," she told

Manny's account started to pick up traction. "We weren't trying to get followers, but in about a year we hit 14,000 followers,"

Chavez explains. "Then he just blew up, getting 500, 1,000, 2,000 followers a day. It was pretty crazy."

It was around that point when American Apparel came knocking to partner to make T-shirts. "At this point we realised we could partner with people and give the proceeds to charity." Chavez and Huang then became more strategic in their approach, using hashtags and posting at certain popular times of the day. They put Manny into little outfits, but found that he "just does loads of funny things" anyway. "I turn my back and he's being hilarious. I could spend all day long documenting what he's doing."

In addition to merchandise, there are quarterly Manny events where people can come and meet the popular pooch. Brands are also keen to send their products to Manny in the hope that they might feature in a post -- sometimes they will pay a fee for the privilege. Amber says that they will only feature products that Manny or one of the other dogs -- Frank, Filip, Liam and Leila -- like. These other dogs also have burgeoning social media careers --

Frank (also a Frenchie) has more than 200,000 followers on Instagram.

For Chavez, who used to work in hospitality, it has turned into a full-time job. Huang continues to run his own marketing business Beatnik. "The dream would be to make a proper living out of this and have our own foundation for Manny and Friends. We could have a ranch with a big rescue centre." +++

Hamilton the Hipster Cat

Type: Cat

Location: Campbell, California

Owner: Jay Stowe

Followers: 550,000 (Instagram), 101,000 (Facebook)

Hamilton is a grey rescue cat with what looks like a perfectly-formed hipster moustache emblazoned across his lips. He is owned by stand-up comedian Jay Stowe, who adopted Hamilton in 2012 from a shelter as a "very shy and super-skittish" kitten.

According to Stowe, Hamilton had been a feral cat, found by one of the volunteers at the shelter. It took a while for Hamilton to be drawn into the limelight. "The first month I had him, he had to live in my bathroom and then when he decided to move out he took up residence in my closet for the next month," he told

Despite this, Hamilton's unique appearance made Stowe smile every time he looked at him. "I figured, why not start an Instagram page to have an album and to be able to share that with everyone," he explains. "I always knew he was adorable and unique, but it was only after I started and saw the response that I knew he had potential to be very popular."

Beyond simply posting pictures of his moustachioed cat, Jay started to develop Hamilton's "voice". "He isn't just a cute cat.

He has ideas, opinions, a job -- he has a real life," says Stowe.

Since working on Hamilton's social media accounts, Stowe has started to figure out what kind of pictures get the best response and the times posts get the most traction. He spends a lot of time responding to his cat's followers, dubbed "The Ham Army". "They are such an amazing group of people and they are so creative," he says. "There are times when one of Hamilton's pictures or videos go viral and I won't know until people contact me to tell me about it.

There was one where I kissed Hamilton and he slapped me. It just resurfaced a few weeks ago with the caption 'my weekend trying to talk to girls'."

Creating the content isn't the hard part for Stowe. "Hamilton is super cuddly and cute and gives you photo opportunities almost hourly," he says. However, there is a lot of admin that goes along with running the account -- whether it's setting up fundraisers, talking through campaigns, or working on a web series.

Fans can now buy Hamilton merchandise -- calendars, T-shirts and greetings cards with the kitteh's face on. Further more, lots of companies send him products or campaigns to promote, although Stowe says he turns down 99.9 percent of them.

There is also a mobile app in the pipeline and Stowe says he'd "love to do some sort of Hamilton plush". There are lots of request for Hamilton to make TV and event appearances but, Stowe says, "given Hamilton's personality and what's in his best interest, I don't travel anywhere with him". "Turning Hamilton into a profitable business has never been my focus. We work much more heavily on the non-profit end of things," he says. This means partnering with charities and adoption centres throughout the US. Currently Stowe is even running a campaign offering up Hamilton's enormously successful Instagram account to a non-profit animal welfare organisation. Followers can vote for the shelter of their choice and the winner will takeover the account (@hamilton_the_hipster_cat) with 550,000 followers. Hamilton will be moving over to

@the_moustache_cat, which currently has more than 100,000 followers. +++

Menswear Dog

Type: Dog

Location: New York

Owners: Dave Fung & Yena Kim

Followers: Tumblr (500,000), 145,000 (Instagram), 83,000 (Facebook)

It all started when husband-and-wife Dave Fung and Yena Kim -- both designers in New York -- were on holiday and decided to snap a quick photo of their shiba inu Bhodi in some of Dave's clothes. "The photo came out surprisingly human-looking," Fung told, "there was just something that lit up when we shot him, so we decided to quickly build a Tumblr page with a few more photos." "The internet got a hold of it and it took off."

And so started Menswear Dog. Early on, the pictures got picked up by high-profile sites like GQ and Complex. This helped to build momentum, and spurred Fung and Kim to take more photos using a high-fashion aesthetic. It wasn't long before fashion brands started to contact them, wanting to get their clothes on the stylish canine. "We get contacted by brands all the time that want to collaborate on sponsored posts, but we try not to take on anything that that doesn't feel right," he explains. Many of the deals include promoting or modelling for fashion and beauty retailers such as Gilt, Revlon and Hudson Shoes. The biggest challenge has been keeping the quality of posts consistent and honest. "We try to post as much as we can, without too much filler content, and we also try to make it very clear when we're being sponsored for a post."

Fung and Kim are also finalising a book -- a style guide for men made up of photos of Bhodi in clothes -- and they have plans to develop some menswear-inspired dog clothes and accessories. "Menswear Dog keeps us pretty busy," Fung explains. Both he and Kim are freelance designers, but both describe it as a "part-time job". "The whole thing is so absurd," he says. "Books, television appearances, calendars, half a million followers. It's all nutty.

We never expected any of this, but we'll certainly take advantage of the opportunities that are coming our way. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience and so far we're having a blast."

They would both love to see Bodhi land a national advertising campaign for a big fashion brand. "Oh and I still need to see him walk down a fashion runway just once," adds Fung.

Are there any rivalries with other social media animal stars? "Grumpy Cat is probably the social media animal right now. He's just killing it. If only Menswear Dog was grumpier," Fung jokes, before adding that there are "no tabloid rivalries here". "It's all love in the social media animal kingdom." +++

Pudge the Cat

Type: Cat

Owner: Kady Lone

Location: Minneapolis

Followers: 223,000 (Instagram), 324,000 (Facebook),

Pudge is a four-year-old tortoiseshell, flat-faced cat. An exotic shorthair, to be precise.

She is owned by freelance graphic designer Kady Lone, and has a moustache that rivals Hamilton's. Lone got into Instagram during a period of unemployment. "While looking for work, I decided to start posting daily photos of Pudge onto my personal Instagram account."

After a while, Lone's account was 100 percent cat pictures, and gaining followers in droves. "I can't say I know the exact formula for generating a large audience," Lone tells, but she thinks it's to do with "witty captions" and the fact that the photos are taken with "a real camera". "And Pudge's unique personality shining through the photos." Turning Pudge into a business is "not a priority" for Lone, she says. So far Pudge hasn't done any paid endorsements and Kady only started to sell merchandise because people "request that we sell coffee mugs with Pudge's face on them because their aunt would totally love one". "If it [turning Pudge into a business] happens that way, I guess that's cool, but my priority is to keep doing what has made Pudge as popular as she is now by continuing to post cute photos and videos."

Coming up with fresh ideas isn't always easy, but "if she's doing something cute, I'll stop and capture it", says Lone. Despite the pressure to create new content, Kady says there's no rivalry with other social media animal owners -- "anyone I meet is always more than happy to share their experiences and chat about cat stuff". +++

Airbus TETRA radios to be used in Stellenbosch region of South Africa

Stellenbosch Municipality is to equip its police and firefighters with P8GR pagers and several types of TETRA mission critical, two-way radios

Airbus TETRA radios to be used in Stellenbosch region of South Africa

The South African wine region of Stellenbosch and its municipal area is equipping its public safety personnel with TETRA radio terminals from Airbus Defence and Space.

Police officers and firefighters will in future carry the devices in order to communicate more safely and efficiently in an area of about 830 square kilometres. Over the next five years, Airbus Defence and Space will provide P8GR pagers as well as the TETRA TH1n, THR9 Ex (ATEX) and THR880i model radios.

Markus Kolland, Head of Sales for Europe and Africa of Secure Land Communications at Airbus Defence and Space, said: “This decision is encouraging. The end user finally opted for our devices because of their quality, size and ruggedness. In addition, Stellenbosch’s order is important for us as Africa is the future continent for secure professional mobile radio technology.”

He also pointed out that Stellenbosch’s administration has chosen different TETRA terminals for each public safety service: fire brigades will use the P8GR and THR9 Ex intrinsically safe radio, the traffic police the TH1n and the cleaning department has opted for the THR880i.

The TETRA P8GR paging device has been designed to meet the needs of fire brigades, relief organisations and also critical infrastructure operators. In contrast to standard analogue paging devices, this pager enables secure two-way communication between the control centre and operational units.

It offers all the essential TETRA features for alerting, such as group calls. The slimline TH1n radio is the thinnest and lightest TETRA terminal in the world, whereas the THR9 Ex is a robust device designed to serve in explosion-prone environments. This latter offers the best protection against physical and environmental exposure.

Keep Your Credit Card Safe While Shopping Online

By Beverly Harzog on 3 December 2012 3 comments

I was at Home Depot at 6:07 a.m. on Black Friday. I needed new Christmas décor, and Home Depot had exactly what I wanted at low prices.

So I got up early, thinking that if I didn’t get there by 6:15 a.m., the stuff I wanted would be long gone. You can imagine how surprised I was when I got there and the store was fairly empty. The employees practically greeted me at the door and offered me coffee and donuts.

Well, of course I said yes to the coffee and donuts. I had the sales flyer with me, so I pointed to what I wanted and the employees collected it all for me in a cart. I was back at my car at precisely 6:17 a.m., happy and on an exquisite sugar high.

I went from Home Depot to Target and had a similar experience, but without the donuts (get with the program, Target!). It was clear to me that folks had decided to shop online. My suspicions were confirmed when I saw the recent numbers from comScore, a company that analyzes the digital world.

Their research showed that consumers have already spent $10.1 billion online, which is a 16% increase over last year. They predict, for the entire season, that consumers will spend $43.4 billion online, which is up 17% from last year.

But enough with boring stats. The fact is, if you shop online, you need to protect yourself. It might be the season of holiday cheer, but it’s also the season of credit card scams.

Here are some things you should keep in mind while clicking your way through the holidays. (See also: The 50 Best Deals and Coupon Sites)

Check the URL

Make sure you see "https" instead of just "http" in the web address. The "s" means it’s a secure site.

Now, according to the FTC, having the “s” isn’t a fool-proof method for identifying a fake website because some scammers try to create a fake “s". Good grief! But at least checking for an “s” is a step you can take to make sure you don’t enter delicate information onto a site without the “s” in the address.

Use a Credit Card

Don’t use a debit card for online shopping. A debit card is linked to your bank account, and if the website gets hacked, the thief will have access to your cash.

Sure, you can probably get most of the cash back over time, but you don’t need such trauma during the holidays. With a credit card, you have much better consumer protections, plus your cash accounts aren’t in jeopardy.

Don’t Fall for Phishing

If you get an email asking you to send your credit card account number and password, don’t take the bait (sorry, I had to get in at least one lousy pun related to fishing).

The email might say you need to update or validate your account due to a variety of issues, including suspected fraud. The email might even look like it came from your bank. No legitimate company will ever ask for this type of sensitive financial information via email.

You have to be alert because scammers get more sophisticated all the time. I got an email that appeared to come from my daughter, who is at college. There was a link in the email, and I caught myself just in time. The scammer was clever to know that I might open the link quickly since it came from my kid. That was a close one!

Check Your Accounts Online for Fraud

This an oldie, but a goodie. I know you’re tired of hearing it, but think about how often you use your credit card at a restaurant and your card leaves your sight. Even if you’re shopping mostly online on a secure, well-known site, you’re still exposed in other areas of your life. And what if the reputable, well-known site gets hacked? It happens.

Avoid Public Wi-Fi

It might be tempting to kick back with a latte in your favorite coffee shop while making purchases online, but it’s not a good idea. Hackers are capable of breaking into Wi-Fi connections at hot spots. Better to get the latte to go and shop at home than take the risk.

Use Virtual Credit Card Numbers

These are also sometimes referred to as “disposable” or “one-time use” numbers. Some issuers offer this service and it allows you to use a temporary number that's tied to your actual credit card account. When you buy an item, you use the temporary number assigned to your account.

So if the site you shopped on gets hacked, the thief can't access your real number. They get a bogus one. This keeps your real account number safe. Now, the details for this service vary by issuer. Visa offers this service, and they call it “Verified by Visa.”

It might sound a little tricky to use virtual numbers, but trust me — the steps are usually pretty simple, and best of all, it’s free.

Also make sure that your computer is up to date (make sure you are using the most recent version of your browser of choice, and that you have any security patches available from Microsoft or Apple applied) and that you have antivirus and/or antimalware installed.

Also, being the suspicious type, I would prefer if you also used a direct wired connection even at home, rather than trusting your home wireless network. Nothing saying you've encrypted your connection to your router properly.

For those who need public Wi-Fi (as in rural or areas with no or limited service Internet). I suggest spending a small amount on personal VPN (Virtual Private Network) provider. With a personal VPN, your PC connects to the VPN provider with an encrypted (like https) connection. Even if the hotspot is being abused by crackers, your connection to the VPN is secure from their nastiness. Then you can use your credit card relatively safely. Nothing is perfectly secure. Also, you do need to make sure that you are connecting to the true hotspot (and not a bogus middleman connection). None the less, VPN pushes the jerks away from you to less sophisticated users.

Last week i went outside of my town for some official work and while travelling i visited some cafe's and restaurants and i have used their public wifi's hotspots. In general i do lot of official meetings and you know internet access is must. Thus, for anonymous access to protect my sensitive data i always prefer "Hotspot Shield" free VPN.

It is very convenient to use and reliable. Really worth's giving it a try. I would conclude by saying that it is the best VPN i have ever used. Check it out here -

PUPILS could start at Stanton Harcourt Primary School a year earlier after proposals to add a nursery class were approved.

County council cabinet member for education Melinda Tilley yesterday ruled that the extension of the lower age range from four to three could go ahead.

The school wants to add the extra class for youngsters to provide capacity after the closure of the Blackditch Bunnies Pre-school in March.

The ruling was a “delegated decision”, which means Mrs Tilley could make it on her own, but had to do so in a public sitting.

She said: “I think the only objection to this I have seen is about parking, but I can’t see that it will make any difference.”

A report to Mrs Tilley said: “Younger children attend the local pre-school, which is due to close. The school proposes to open a nursery class to ensure continuity of provision for these children and to help improve standards on entry to Year 1.”

Wisconsin governor's race remains dead heat Submitted: 08/28/2014
MADISON - The latest Marquette University Law School poll shows Gov. Scott Walker and Democratic challenger Mary Burke remain in a dead heat.  The latest results released Wednesday show little movement in the race with 10 weeks until Election Day. Polls in May and July also showed the race to be essentially tied.  The latest poll shows Walker with 47.5 percent support among registered voters, compared with 44 percent for Burke. That is within the poll's 3.5 percentage point margin of error.

Among likely voters, Burke led Walker 48.6 percent to 46.5 percent for Walker. That is also within the 4.1 percentage point margin of error among the smaller population of likely voters.  The poll was done between Aug. 21 and Sunday. There were 815 registered voters and 609 likely voters quizzed.

Way Back Home / Urban Fantasy

with Paul Cebar and Rick Israel
Wednesday 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Way Back Home

He crashes the greatest records. He’s traveled the road and brought back the most fabulous melodic sounds it has to offer. An incredibly eclectic mix of the deepest soul and vintage R&B. Paul doesn’t stop there. Brazilian, Cuban, African, classic ska, reggae and singer songwriters all drop on the decks.

One of the great long running shows on WMSE – 30 years and still getting better.

Urban Fantasy

Another one of WMSE’s great jazz programs. Rick has been tag teaming with Paul for over two decades. He has an extensive knowledge of the contemporary players as well as the legends who made jazz great. Rick also enjoys taking time out to interview and play local Milwaukee jazz favorites.

Get to Know Your WMSE DJ Profile – Paul Cebar

How do you spend your days and nights when not hosting your radio show?

When not hosting my show, life is an empty husk blowing hither and thither through a pale fogscape. No, actually I prefer to spend my time playing with my band, preparing to play with my band, reading like all get-out, cutting Dad’s lawn, sifting through the records and looking for Al Pastor tacos that taste anything like the ones in the street in Oaxaca.

Do you remember what band, album or song took you from being a casual music listener to a passionate music lover? Is there a memory associated with that experience?

“Love Me Do” and “Hold Me Tight” by the Beatles took this dreaming seven year old to the party. The mysteries of “Working in a Coalmine” by Lee Dorsey ushered me into new levels of immersion. ‘Thelonious Monk’s Greatest Hits’ bought on State St. in Madison as a callow youth, “Paradise and Lunch” & “Mo Roots” playing in the dorms the first week of college. “Crawfish Fiesta” playing in a record store in Minneapolis…

What band have you heard or discovered in the past six months that reminded you why you want to continue being a WMSE DJ.

A Senegalese band called Fonseca et les Anges Noirs remind me (as if I needed reminding) why I’d like to continue sailing songs into the air at WMSE.

Who is your favorite non-you WMSE DJ and why?

Johnny Ziegler, Dewey and Shopkeeper Ken are my favorite compatriots for the sheer intrepidity and mayhem-laden fun.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

When I grow up, I will perhaps be paid…and dancing.

Military members to pitch drug-free living in North Tonawanda

by jmaloni
Mon, Aug 13th 2012 10:20 am

Climbing wall, class presented

(readMedia) The New York National Guard Counterdrug Task Force, in conjunction with the Old Orchard Estates Block Club, will provide a drug prevention program and climbing wall for children in North Tonawanda, from noon to 8 p.m. on Aug. 18.

The four-member soldier and airman team will offer a drug-prevention pitch and "Rockwall Challenge" climbing session to approximately 400 people.

The "Rockwall Challenge" is a unique constructive learning opportunity for youth ages 8 to 17 years old. The children will get a talk on setting goals, meeting life's challenges and establishing healthy choices. Students then use these concepts while climbing the wall.

The "Block Party" will be held at 6708 Cortland Dr.

The New York National Guard Counterdrug Task Force offers partnerships and support to community-based organizations in the drug prevention effort. By offering the New York National Guard's unique and specialized resources, the New York National Guard Counterdrug Task Force provides its civilian counterparts with the tools they need to fight the spread of drugs in New York.

The task force is composed of New York Army and Air National Guard members who provide specialized assistance to law enforcement. They also conduct drug prevention programs around the state.

 Flexagon Cushions

A hexaflexagon is a curiosity, usually made in paper
This isn’t the most comfortable cushion in the world but it is great fun. We can absolutely predict what will happen when it is presented to a group of kids (or adults!):

First, it is used as a frisbee (It is quite aerodynamic.) One person will put it on their head and it isn’t long before someone discovers that a slight tug will pull it over the head and it will sit snuggly round the neck, like a ruff.

Eventually they investigate its strange properties and discover that this flat cushion has six faces.

The crochet cushion in the first six photos was made for MathsYear2000 and has been handled by hundreds of people. These new photographs show how well it has stood up to this treatment.

We invented the name Hexaflexacube for this version because the faces were shaded to resemble a cube.

Although the construction is different, there are still six different faces. There are obviously three colour combinations but, if you look carefully, you will see that the positions of the colours change.

This cushion was exhibited in Washington, DC, in January 2008 at JMM2009

No patterns currently available

YouTube video showing some of these flexagon cushions.

This knitted version was added to the pattern in January 2013.

The instructions for these three cushions are included in  one pattern.
(The fluffy version is  not included in the pattern.)

Music Monday: Pet Week!

by Scott Lydon

Happy Music Monday! Did you notice that it's Pet Week here on our blog and on Sellout.Woot? That's why, today, our mix is all about pets. Today's mix gathers the highs and lows of animal songs and throws them for you to fetch. Go on, readers! Go get it! Go get the mix!

Michael Jackson - Ben

Such a sweet and loving song. It also went to number one and helped start young Michael's solo career as the King Of Pop! And yet, it's about a murderous, possibly telepathic rat. But maybe you can look beyond the strangeness and see the song as a tribute to a loyal and trusted friend. I sure can't. But that's just me, you know?

Good songs, bad songs, you know we've had our share. See you after the jump for the highs and lows of pet songs.

The Presidents Of The United States Of America - Kitty

There's a slight chance that this song isn't meant to be taken literally, but when did The Presidents ever use a metaphor? And anyway, who can resist patting a sweet kitty-cat when it acts all cute and starts meowing? Even when we know we're gonna get scratched, we still go for that fuzzy belly...

Henry Gross - Shannon

On the other end of the spectrum is a contender for the fastest way to clear out a party, the wuss-rock tribute to a Beach Boys pet that "drifted out to sea" and never came back. On the plus side, the song led to the Casey Kasem outake that turned into this NSFW song that might have helped inspire U2 to release this so at least some good came out of it.

David Bowie - Cat People (Putting Out Fire)

Maybe this song is more about the people who love cats, but you can't spell "Cat People" without "Cat" right? Bowie's slick 80s sound works well with the hyper-style of a cat that knows it's running the place. In fact, try singing this to YOUR cat later, see if they meow in harmony.

Porno For Pyros - Pets

The best pets are loyal, obedient, well trained, and perform tricks on command. Sort of like performers we don't have to pay! Except Perry Ferrel isn't as snuggly on a cold night. Probably you still have to walk him, though.

If you need to get petted, hit up the team in our room and wag your tail to the regular Music Monday enjoyment. Pet Week rolls on all week long! Also, let us just remind you: some images come from the corresponding Wikipedia page and are here under fair use.
