Flying Fake Cell Towers Collects Data on Target Fugitives, But Can Collect Data from your phone too…
“In the US, the Justice Department’s Marshals Service office is putting fake cell towers on planes in an effort to catch criminals by tracking down their phones. The problem is, those fake towers don’t discriminate and end up collecting data from tens of thousands of phones per flight” http://buff.ly/1wZlMVE
What are your thoughts on this? http://ift.tt/14kqxhY
Dear Comcast/Xfinity customers…
Times are hard enough to make sure you can catch your show when you need to. So… the World gave us DVR. And the World was happy. On day two, the World gave us the X1 platform. And the World was happy. On day three, the World takes away our X1 platform. And the World was, errrrrr, happy???
According to the Comcast forums… many are having trouble.
The code error, as seen above in the picture, is RDK-03031. According to Comcast, you see this message when the X1 box is having trouble connecting to the X1 Platform (just as the picture above states). Here is what is suppose to resolve the problem:
However, the 
instructions above don’t seem to fix the issue at hand. There are many people in forums that are having trouble. Many are saying their Internet works still, but TV is a no go.
Many have said they have tried these instruction more than once. I have the X1 platform, and I have tried three times now. I have called the tech support number multiple times. All I get is a busy signal.
I tried to use the online Chat for help. With this, all I got was a “Connecting to Agent” status. 40 minutes later and it still says this. Frustration starts to set it.
My Roku purchase seems to be looking better and better each time I use it, and tonight won’t be no exception. In fact, tonight will be an awesome night to catch up on those TV shows I have been missing.
According to tch3612: No Connection.
Also, there are problems when trying to call Comcast:
Laurie posted that she believes it is a system way outage according to information from her local Comcast.
Are you having problems with your X1? If so, let us know what is happening at your home below in the comments.
UPDATE: Appears that folks are finally starting to see some of their X1 systems coming back to life. If you are still having issues, try one of two solutions that commenters have discovered below to see if this fixes things for you.

CVS and about 60 other businesses are wanting to create their own payment system called CurrentC. CurrentC doesn’t use NFC, it actually uses a QR Code??? Because this new payment system doesn’t use NFC, CVS has turned off ALL of the NFC enabled payment systems.
WHAT!?!?!?!?
Seriously… this is the WORST decision that these companies can do. If you actually read into what CurrentC is, you’d want to stay far far away from it. Not only can CurrentC connect directly to you bank account, it can keep track of your purchases (and purchasing habits), and can get access to part of your phone that it doesn’t need to know (like Health data stored on your device).
CVS (and everyone else about to do this too)… you are in the wrong. What you are doing isn’t any different than saying… we don’t accept Visa and Mastercard anymore, only cash checks and American Express. SMH
I hope Apple and Google take down this app. CurrentC should be stopped before it is even implemented. I use my phone with Google Wallet at CVS all the time. Two days ago, the transaction wouldn’t go through. The cashier and I didn’t know what the problem was. Now I know why it didn’t go through. Wow!

I have been taking their products just over a month now, and the results have been amazing. The Super HD gives me much needed energy and focus. They also definitely help with appetite control. I have found myself eating smaller portions and eating more than just three meals a day. I have also noticed my waist slimming and toning.
The CLK is the amazing sidekick. CLK really helps with the toning of my over-all body. I have noticed muscle gain in the legs, arms, chest, and back. Taking this with regular exercise and weight training, has really help boost my results.
What work for you? What do you like to take to boost your training?

Wanted to give all my readers an update on my workouts…
I have been hitting the gym, at least, three times a week. I am seeing muscle gain and noticing a slightly slimmer waist. While I am not hitting cardio hard, I am still noticing many changes that is fulfilling my overall goal.
I will need to start up my cardio again if I want to see an increase in weight loss and an increase in cardiovascular health.
I will be posting pictures soon. I want to document this change as much as possible. I encourage you to challenge yourself and push yourself to the limits.
What are you doing to challenge yourself?
More to come…

With everything going on in this world, it can be easy to get sidetracked. Life can easily go on a tangent. However, life is only as complicated as you make it.
My weight challenge has been a hard one. Life always likes to get in the way. I have been going to the gym. I have been getting a good workout in. I haven’t been able to go more than two days a week though.
Working out/Training/Getting big takes discipline. Takes dedication. Makes you realize how real the struggle is, but how badly you want to challenge that struggle.
My next post will be my workout routine I am doing at the gym. As I progress, learn more, and challenge myself further, I’ll update the routine I am doing.
What are your biggest challenges with the gym? What stops you from going? What makes you quit going?
More on the way soon…

Many people is this world strive to be fit, healthy, or at least, in-shape. The problem folks run into is work, life, laziness, and sleep. Work takes up 40 hours of your time awake during the week. The sleeping takes up, at least, six hours of your night routine. Just this alone will give you twelve hours (on average) of the day still left. Plan an hour a day to get ready, and an hour total to commute to and from work, you would still have eight to ten hours left of your day.
What you do during your free time makes you the person you are today!
If you snack and lay around all day, sleep all day, watch movies/TV shows all day, on your computer or game console, then you need to set goals to stop yourself from repeating the same habits that you are too comfortable with already. Making goals aren’t complicated. Have one big goal in mind. Then make small goals to help you achieve the big goal.
Let’s say you want to loose 25lbs and add some muscle (or tone) to your body as well. Looking at the bigger goal, you may lose focus, however, if you have a smaller goal of a pound a week for twenty weeks, and weight training at least twice a week, in the twenty weeks you will notice that your bigger goal has been met.
I am writing up a goal for myself that I will post on my blog. Ask me questions if you need help setting yours. Together, we can create a network that we can count on to keep us focused. Together, we can keep our bigger goals in sight. Together, we can help others that need assistance as well.

Life is tough sticking to healthy choices. With all the unhealthy choices in this world, it is hard to stay on the right path, but I am getting better at it.
It all starts in the kitchen…
WATER! WATER! WATER! I cannot be more serious about that. Soda, beer, liqueur, and even milk can cause your body not to slim down. In fact, most can deteriorate your muscle and also add fat, instead of reducing/eliminating fat.
More will be added to this! Stay tuned…
