LastPass seems to be a popular hacker target, FWIW.

We took a pretty upscale cruise a few years ago on the Silverseas line, a repositioning trip from Seward to Tokyo. The amenities were nice but the other passengers seemed stuffy and even a little unfriendly. Maybe we were the riff raff on that trip.

Here's one from ... yikes, 50 years ago.

I'm partial to a similar tune from Leo Kottke (who once characterized his voice as sounding like geese farts on a muggy day).

On the fidelity platform, you click the "news and documents" tab after selecting the bond you're interested in. From there you'll see a link under a header labeled "primary market documents."

I wouldn't consider it standard verbiage, and I always read the offering statement before investing in a bond. Then I try to find any outside news reports about the debtor's financial condition ... although those are becoming more scarce with the decline of newspapers. My approach is that bond...

That was Glenn Ford, not John. Personally I think Ford was miscast, but he was a hot box office star at the time. And the movie was a big hit.

I don't think I posted to this thread before, but if it's a duplicate, I apologize. I recently bought an 8-season boxed DVD set of the USA series "Burn Notice." It is such a well-put together series, a semi-spy thriller with lots of action and an irreverent flavor. Jeffrey Donavan is Michael...

This is a global phenomenon, according to an NOAA researcher. The sweltering seas are proving perilous for the world’s corals, living structures that support roughly 25 percent of all known marine species. When stressed by rising temperatures, corals expel the vibrant photosynthetic algae that...

I do some volunteer work for a nonprofit Madison radio station called WORT. They have some great genre-specific programming, including a Saturday night show called "Two for the Blues." It's accessible on the station's online programming archives. wort Archive

The Hot Tuna reference reminds me of a song they covered by Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell called "How Long Blues." It was a popular tune in the late 1920s by the duo, who were based in Indianapolis. They had great success until the moody Blackwell split with Carr over money and song credits...

Hopkins and T-Bone Walker were contemporaries from rural east Texas who both knew Blind Lemon Jefferson as children. It's interesting how the two diverged in style as both gained immortality in the blues genre. Edit: Uh, make that immortality.

I bought that album in about 1970. Kaukonen has a concert scheduled at a local venue in May. I heard another one about that time called "Jamming with Edward." The Stones put it out with Ry Cooder and Nicky Hopkins while Keith Richards was in rehab. To me, Cooder is about the most versatile...

West Helena, Ark., has a blues festival in August. You might want to add that to your intinerary. I've never been to it, but it looks interesting. In the '80s I went to several Chicago Blues Festivals. Little Milton was there one year.
