Quote:
The personal details of 100 million Facebook users have been collected and published online in a downloadable file, meaning they will now be unable to make their publicly available information private.
However, Facebook downplayed the issue, saying that no private data had been compromised.
The information was posted by Ron Bowes, an online security consultant, on the Internet site Pirate Bay.
Bowes used code to scan the 500 million Facebook profiles for information not hidden by privacy settings. The resulting file, which allows people to perform searches of various different types, has been downloaded by more than 2,400 people.
This means that if any of those on the list decide to change their privacy settings on Facebook, Bowes and those who have the file will still be able to access information that was public when it was compiled.
Bowes’ actions also mean people who had set their privacy settings so their names did not appear in Facebook’s search system can now be found if they were friends with anyone whose name was searchable.
'Scary privacy issue'
On his website, www.skullsecurity.org, Bowes said the results of his code were "spectacular," giving him 171 million names of which were 100 million unique.

So the problem is Annie "needs" to be winning or pretty near perfect even if no one else is competing. We went bowling Sunday and she didn't have a good first game, but Amanda got a strike first turn. So the reason Annie's game was off is that she was almost in tears that she didn't get a strike. Her whole game attitude changed from wanting to have fun and being happy if she got a spare to, "but it isn't a strike so who cares?":sigh

She has done this type of thing before...Amanda tends not to do as well at many things as she does, but she feels inferior to her for some reason. We support them both and don't focus on Amanda instead of Annie or vice versus or make perfection the only thing acceptable, but she demands it of herself. She was pretty much in tears by the end of the game when Amanda won by two pins, and it ruined the fun for us all. The ironic thing is Annie bowls well and hardly ever hits the bumpers while Amanda slings it bouncing everywhere, so Annie really is a decent bowler for a 6 year old. She just can't see it unless she is winning or just got a spare.

So then Annie and I played another game while Amanda wandered off with dh and she was dancing to the music and doing better. I hate that and wondered if you have anything like that in your house?:( ]]> Multiples Mayhem MamaBirdie http://forums.hippymom.com/multiples-mayhem/76541-so-do-you-have-problem.html Crystals vs. Stones http://forums.hippymom.com/magickal-needs/76539-crystals-vs-stones.html Thu, 29 Jul 2010 02:44:44 GMT Swoopie found this site and I really like how he puts the information regarding the crystals and stones.

Spirit Walk Ministry - Crystals and Stones

Quote:
Because of its narrow focus, a stone is somewhat stronger than a quartz crystal, but it only works in its own specific area, that is, each stone only strengthens the particular energy or human quality it resonates with. This makes stones ideal for concentrating on your growth by working on one energy at a time, or working on several energies at once by using several stones. Because of its broad and more general way of operating, a quartz crystal works to strengthen all areas of the inner self at the same time.

A few years ago I taped my Grandfather telling my son his war stories and I'm so grateful I did this because it's a moment in time we will never get back since he has dimentia.

I really want to do this with some of my other relatives too because it's the one thing I miss and I can see their pictures but their voices I know I will miss.

I have been having a hard time managing my diabetes the last few weeks:shrug or it could be from the steroids we had or I just grow ubber sized babies. I am still -4 lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight so neither the OB nor endocrinologist are giving me a hard time. Endo adjusted my insulin last week and I have done so even more myself and still struggling. At this point everyone just said do the best I can. My OB said that she no longer thinks we need a second round of steroids. She also said that at this point if I make it to 35ish weeks she'd pretty much send me on my merry way and thinks the baby will be fine!:woot I had a short stint in L&D last week one night with a period of regular contractions and that doc had asked what gestation D was and if she had any time in the special care nursery. Dani was 35w6d and NO nicu time. So she said she thought I may go early and be fine too.

Its good because I don't know how much more of this kid is going to fit in here and I am feeling the need to write an eviction notice.:snicker They also both said if I did go to 34-35 weeks that they'd take me off bedrest. I admitted to OB that I haven't been as strict about bedrest the last couple weeks and she said whatever I am doing is working because as far as she can tell cervix is still high and closed. So I think just doing what *felt* like an ok amount has been fine. ]]> The Incubators MidnightDancer http://forums.hippymom.com/incubators/76533-i-seem-grow-giants.html <![CDATA[I like to speak in code.

How old are you?

What was it like for you growing up as a female? For example, how were you effected by the bias towards women, and the fight given by many women for equal rights?

Were there different standards of behavior expected as a female versus a male?

Has this changed today?

How did you first learn about sex and menstruation?

How open were discussions regarding these topics?

Did you get accurate information?

If you had children, could you please share a bit about your pregnancy and childbirth experience?

What was menopause like for you?

Were you prepared, did you have accurate information regarding it?

What are your thoughts towards aging?

Do you embrace it? Fear it?

Does you feel society treats aging women the same as aging men?

Is there anything else you would like to tell me about aging, differences in your past and today, and womens health?

Immediately this huge beautiful bright green dragon popped up in front of me. He seemed to be a very happy dragon and smiled and laughed as puffs of little fire came out, and his tongue was bright pretty red. It was odd since he was so glistening and bright almost like a cartoon, but he was wet I think, so that may have been part of it.

Anyway, he was obviously cheerful and I didn't feel threatened at all. He waved his claws around and seemed to be all excited about something, and I swear he was smiling at me. He was tall and I could see his teeth and scales...I was so surprised I started laughing and he didn't seem to mind.
