We tried. My husband was at home and tried. Here's his response to me... "Tried and tried and tried - couple of times, got as far as selecting 2 #64 tickets, but once I entered the captcha code to go to the next bit, there weren't sufficient available." Another friend was in a hospital where her husband is receiving treatment, so she couldn't be on-line. She was trying by phone, but no luck.

Back when Target and, what was it, Neimann-Marcus got hit really bad with the data breach, there was a news story that said it would cost upwards of $14 billion to retrofit everything to use the more secure chip&pin technology, and it only costs them something like $10 billion in fraud, so they'd rather just pay the fraud stuff and let the rest of us suffer with the inconvenience. Particularly sad when I remember doing research and analysis of SmartCard tech (embedded chip) for the bank I worked at back in '86-88! And yes, I ran into the "US credit card company confused about use outside US/Canada" verification/cancellation issue last year when I tried to do a monthly charitable contribution. For gosh sakes, it was only about $15/month!

A bit underwhelming to me, but some people are pleased with its relative lack of affected vocals :) Swedish popster Tove Lo's 'Truth Serum' ep is very catchy. Wonder if she can keep this up for a full length album - pretty great track rate so far. Banks - sort of darker, dirgey version of Lorde's minimalist beat-oriented pop. 'Waiting game' is a bit Portishead, I reckon. Polly Scattergood's single 'Subsequently Lost' has some good remixes. Pop perfection. Lissie was dropped from her label after awesome 70s-ish 'Back to Forever' underperformed, and has a covers ep - 'Cryin' to you', with great Danzig, Judas Priest, One Direction, Dylan, Drake covers. She's so good at worthwhile covers - you think they'll be jokes, but no. Enjoying various recent (ish) stuff by Emily Barker and Nancy Elizabeth. I forget about these slightly folky quiet artists, but they have some great melodies and lyrics. Thanks for the Lydia Loveless recommendation, someone :) Good alt-country/rock. I kept on getting her name muddled with Lydia Lunch, which isn't quite the right idea! Karen ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V16 #1057 ****************************
