W almost taken out by shoes

The guy has a good arm, but he didn't take Bush's cat-like reflexes into consideration.

Painful UFC Fight Night

Last night was one of the most brutal UFC events I've seen. I'm not sure what's wrong with me, but I found it enjoyable to watch.

FYI - These videos will probably be removed from YouTube soon by the UFC.

Razak Al-Hassan probably should've tapped...


Corey Hill probably shouldn't kick with those bird legs. He's out for 18 months.

Shutterfly-Webloyalty Scam

Someone in my household accidently got us scammed for the past four months. I was looking over the Discover statement and noticed $12.00 charges on my last four statements from RESERVATIONREWARDS.COM 800-732-7031 CT.

After doing a Google search, I found that the lovely people at Webloyalty (WLI) having been scamming people for a very long time. We got on their list by clicking on an ad that stated we could get $10 off our next purchase with Shutterfly. This ad (shown on the right) showed up immediately after placing an order with Shutterfly.

I know Shutterfly is not the only site where this ad appears. I saw it on another site (it might have been Dell) earlier in the week and was tempted to click on it before I noticed that it said something about going to a partner site. Anytime you get directed away from the legit site you are shopping at, it probably is not a good thing.

I was ready for a fight when I called the number next to reservationrewards.com on my statement, but Terrence quickly and quietly canceled my "membership" and refunded the $48 they charged over the past four months to my Discover card.

I would recommend checking your credit card statement (you should be doing this anyway) for any odd charges from reservationrewards.com or something similar.

UPDATE: We will no longer be using Shutterfly and I strongly urge others to ditch the site too. I emailed Shutterfly customer support to complain about Webloyalty and they sent me an email defending the company. After some more research, I found that Shutterfly receives a kickback from Webloyalty for all the people who "sign up" for a "membership" on Shutterfly's site.
