Android malware problem
Can you identify these programs? Are they malware? I have been getting popups requesting I install them from a unknow source and to give them permission to be installed.

Pressure
One thing I’ve learned.
Most things are strong until they are put under pressure.
BACK IN THE DAY
LIFE BACK IN THE DAY, My youth in Alexandria La
Getting on my 20″ or 10 speed bike, Leaving the house early in the morning and not getting home tell the street lights would come on.
Activities during those times basketball, baseball, football, poping wheelies, bike races sometimes doing all of them at the sametime. Places visited oil mill quarters, Acadian Village, Samtown, Woodside,
Southwood Terrance, lower third. The valley, Charles Park. FROZEN CUPS at least one house on the block sold frozen cups. I want to thanks the Woods family of Houston street for taking me to Capitol speedway, and also being the pitsop, I still remember having at least 5 to 7 bikes parked out front while we were inside watching the 3 Stoogies.
Going to Bolton football games, and the Jamborees.
Atari 2600, Commodore 800, intellivison. Skate boarding, nunchucks, Bruce Lee, spaghetti westerns.
Shout-out to Bolton, Ash, Peabody and Tioga

JOT Script Stylus
I purchased the Jot Script and it arrived today. I was puzzled why the pen would not connect to my iPad 2. It took some searching to find the answer: wrong bluetooth version! The iPad 2, still for sale at the Apple Store compare, has bluetooth version 2.1. The Jot Script will only connect with version 4.0 or later. Something to alert your viewers. The Jot Script will not link with: the original iPad, iPhone 4s, MacBook Pro (2011), or even a Nexus 7 (2012). All because these have older bluetooth versions. I have these devices and have tried linking to each one. Note that the latest Nexus 7 (2013) is reported to have bluetooth 4.0, and should work fine. But, I have no first hand evidence of this.
Three things that went well today
1. I made it through my shift without a unit upset.
2. I was able to teach someone.
3. I learned something, I didnt know.
Does Your Boss Make You Feel Stupid? Here Are Some Tips
Every day people land on my Blog by typing this desperate phrase into their Google search bar:
“My Boss Makes Me Feel Like an Idiot.”
This good Google fortune is driven from a couple of posts I wrote dealing with the subject of “feeling stupid at work.” These have led to numerous comments, private emails, and even some behind-the-scenes counseling from good people in bad situations looking for some advice.
Apparently, I have captured a micro-audience of tortured souls dealing with the unpleasant challenge of facing a brutish boss every day.
Welcome, friends.
Their story is almost always the same: a once-confident worker is suddenly thrust into a new situation with an intimidating boss, and instead of rising to the challenge, a downward spiral ensues of little mistakes, negative self-talk, more fumbling, obsessive rumination and complete loss of confidence. Leading to a search on the internet to figure…

I was so high!!
Your waitress. Your colleagues at work. Your doctor. Maybe even your parents. They’re all high. All the time. That’s what it feels like anyway. This week, stories in which drug use and daily life intersect – and in which people get high in secret and then do their best to function in the non-high world. Also, we hear some “I Was So High” stories from our listeners
Crooks and Liars
Must be nice to be the head of the organization that regulates the industry they previously had a job in or you were a lobbyists for. Then when they leave they get another job with that industry that they were suppose to regulate.
I’m calling out the Banking committee and FCC!!!
Can you say crooks.
It seems bought parties can all agree screw the voters help the corporations
“If It Were Me, I’d….” When You’re Perplexed By People Not Acting As You Would | by Natalie Lue
As soon as I hear the words “If it were me…” or “I’m the type of person that…” and they are explaining their frustration with a person, or even their rationale for making excuses for them, I internally say “UH OH.”
The 1% America’s Royalty
“America’s claims to being a democratic society are seriously threatened… The preferences of the average American appear to have only a minuscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy.” Instead, policy tends “to tilt towards the wishes of corporations and business and professional associations.”
