4BETTER OR WORSE- The week in review
First photo-red numbers: Albemarle's newly installed cameras at the U.S. 29 and Rio Road intersection capture 998 violations when enforcement begins December 12 through January 7. Of those, 586 photos are tossed out, and 412 drivers will get tickets in the mail for alleged redlight running. No word on the number of those ticketed who actually pay up.
Oldest hit-and-run case: Brandon Lee Fields is indicted by a grand jury January 10 for the 1994 death of 34-year-old John M. Banks. According to the Daily Progress, Virginia State Police reopened the Louisa case in July, and Fields, now 35, turned himself in in September.
Worst babysitter: Shelton Jernail Winston, 21, is arrested after a high-speed chase in Waynesboro January 9 after which police discover three children in the back seat, ages 2, 4, and 6, one of whom is not belted in. The News Virginian reports that Winston originally was pulled because he had red and blue emergency lights on his dashboard. He's charged with felony eluding and child abuse.
Saddest discovery: 27-year-old Courtney T. Chambers dies of unknown causes in her vehicle in the parking lot of Oxford Hill Apartments near Preston Avenue on Monday, January 3.
Biggest free speech case: Western Albemarle alum Aaron Tobey, who stripped off his shirt at the Richmond Airport December 31 to reveal the Fourth Amendment written on his chest, has his disorderly conduct charge dismissed January 10 in Richmond.
Best news for anarchists: The Richmond Police Department abandons its quest to force anarchist Mo Karn to return 600 pages of redacted police files she'd obtained under the Freedom of Information Act and posted on the website www.wingnutrva.org, according to an ACLU release.
Biggest black eye for Richmond on First Amendment issues: See above.
Biggest reprieve: The foreclosure auction of Patricia Kluge and Bill Moses's Vineyard Estates scheduled for January 11 is canceled, but may be rescheduled, according to a trustee's notice.
Best news for homeowners, we guess: Housing prices remain stable, and the bloated housing inventory is down slightly in 2010–- by 5 percent–- but there are fewer home sales than in 2009, according to a Charlottesville Area Association of Realtors report.
Best smoke detector testimonial: A free detector from the Charlottesville Fire Department saves the Wayne Avenue home of 87-year-old Carol Gooch when oil ignites on her stove as she's frying chicken January 9, the Newsplex reports. Fire officials say the detector was sounding an alarm when they arrived at the residence, and there was minimal damage.
Worst rash of stove fires: Smoke is spotted rolling out of a basement apartment on Vine Street January 8 from food left on the stove, and the smoke detector is not working properly. Another January 9 fire on Prospect Avenue also ignites from the stove.
Most impaired streams: Four local waterways–- Meadow Creek, Schenks Branch, Moores Creek, and Lodge Creek are targeted by the Department of Environmental Quality for clean up, Charlottesville Tomorrow reports.
Grimmest infestation: Vultures mass in Staunton neighborhoods, prompting the U.S. Department of Agriculture and city public works to attempt to disperse the carrion eaters with explosives and effigies, the News Virginian reports.
Least flattering portrayal of the Hook's person of the year: A dashcam video of X Prize-winner Oliver Kuttner's arrest for obstruction of justice last fall in Lynchburg shows him refusing to heed an officer's repeated requests to return to his car and captures him remarking, "I am so tired of the dumb people in this town." Appearing in court last week, Kuttner, who called upon the city manager to investigate, apologizes to police officers and admits he was out of line, the News & Advance reports.

Five new modes have been included to use the Surface Dial off and onscreen: Undo, Zoom, Canvas Rotation, Smart Bone, Stroke Width and the new Overlay Timeline, which allows to navigate in time and animate using the entire screen.
Moho™ Pro 12.2 is now localized in Japanese, besides English, Spanish, French, German and Chinese.
It also includes many bug fixes and new features, such as a more intuitive zoom behavior; improvements to Switch layers; scripting access to more elements of the software; the new Layer Comps window, which allows to create and edit Layer Comps more easily and use them as Timeline visibility sets, to quickly see different groups of layers in the Timeline and much more.
Note: This update overwrites your existing Moho™ 12 installation. You may be asked to enter your serial number again after installing version 12. Please refer to the Read Me text file for more information on enhancements, bug fixes and improvements.
New Features and fixes coming in Moho™ 12.2
● Moho™ now supports the Microsoft's new Surface Studio and Surface Dial.
Five new modes have been included to use the Surface Dial off and onscreen: Undo, Zoom, Rotation, Smart Bone, Stroke Width and the new overlay Timeline, which allows to navigate in time and animate using the entire screen.
● In addition to English, Spanish, French, German and Chinese, Moho™ is now localized also in Japanese.
● PRO - New Layer Comps window allows to create and edit Layer Comps much quicker.
● PRO - Layer Comps now can be used as Timeline visibility sets, allowing to use Layer Comps as sets of layers to show in the Timeline.
● PRO - Switch layers inside a group layer with physics enabled now display a Physics tab in the Layer Settings dialog.
● When zooming with the mouse wheel, zoom in and out to the cursor position.
● PRO - In the Layers window, the context menu for a layer that has an embedded layer script will now display an option to "Reveal Embedded Layer Script" in the Finder/Explorer. If the layer has an HSV modifier image, there will be an option to "Reveal HSV Modifier Image" in the Finder/Explorer.
● PRO - Added lua scripting method for layers: bool IsIncludedInFlexiBoneSubset(int32 boneID).
Returns true if the boneID is in the flexi-bone subset.
● Added new "Always create XMP file for document" preference setting to the Document preferences.

● When you right-click a child of a switch layer in the Layers window, there is now an option to make that layer the active child. This is in addition to the previous functionality that allows you to alt-click a child to make it the active child. This was added because it is more obvious to those who haven't read about the alt-click functionality.

● PRO - Added scripting accessors for setting the search filter in the Layers window.

● Timeline now shows new keyframes when using the Select Point tool's Split Curve command.
● Fixed a crash that happened when the first item in the tools list in the Preferences was removed.
● Fixed Bug where sometimes PSD layers were lost.

● Fixed a problem that made hard to view tooltips when using a stylus.
● Fixed a bug where a duplicated vector layers didn't show Bezier handles

● There was a problem updating the display of the Text tab of the Layer Settings dialog when the window is brought up via the Window menu. It's fixed now.
● When settings entered into the Project Settings are outside the accepted ranges for the value, there will now be an alert that indicates this condition if you try to click OK to save those changes. The invalid values are corrected to fit within the allowed range.
● When Duplicate is selected to duplicate a layer in the Layers window the new layer will now be given a default name that is guaranteed to be unique within its group.
● Allow user content folder to be overridden from the shared application preferences
● Fixed a problem with relative path handling in the Library if preferences were reset after having added custom locations to the Library.

Smartphone-on-the-cheap alert: The Nokia Lumia 900 is now available from AT&T for only $50 with a two-year contract.
Nokia's flagship phone running Windows Phone 7 Mango won't be able to upgrade to the Windows Phone 8 operating system when it becomes available later this year, but the high-end LTE handset is still a relatively impressive device.
Bells and whistles include competitive specs, a beautiful user interface, and a classy design. PCWorld's Ginny Mies just a few months ago called the Nokia Lumia 900 "the best Windows Phone so far" and said it has the chops to stand up against the Android army as well as the Apple iPhone 4S. The one downside is that many people aren't familiar with the Windows Phone experience.
My current phone is a Samsung Galaxy Nexus and before that I was toting an iPhone around, so when I recently tested the Lumia 900, I found its Metro user interface refreshingly different.
Whereas iOS and Android screens display small app icons, Windows Phone instead gives you larger live tiles that update in real time. For instance, there's a "people hub" tile that lets you click on a contact and see all of your latest interactions with him or her and you can pin important people in their own separate tiles so as to see new emails, texts and comments on social networks from them.
You can also pin to the start screen a group of contacts -- for example, your family or team members at work -- so you can email, text or chat with them all at once.
In these ways, Windows Phone feels more social than iOS and Android and with back-to-school season ramping up, the Nokia Lumia 900 is a great bet for socially-savvy young people, some of whom might dig the new pink version Nokia just debuted.
And while people always want to point to the fact that Microsoft has far fewer apps in its Marketplace compared with Google and Apple, most of the top apps in the other ecosystems are available for Windows Phone users, and some of them are simply fantastic, such as Nokia's Drive app, which gives you excellent voice-guided, turn-by-turn GPS navigation.
Here's the rub: When Windows Phone 8 debuts this fall, it will feature a slick new camera app, Internet Explorer 10, near-field communication, Nokia Maps, Direct X support for advanced gaming and multicore processor support. If you buy a Nokia Lumia 900 now, you'll miss out on most of these features. Even so, for the price, the Lumia 900 is still worth looking into.
When I tested it in many ways I would have swapped it for my Galaxy Nexus -- a telling clue the phone is cool.

At Kids&Us your children grow up hand in hand with our characters. Students will use their imaginative way of seeing and understanding the world around them.
Babies - From the first year of life
One and two-year-olds
Hand in hand with two sweet little mice, the students delve into the world of English. It all starts in an emotionally stimulating environment where interaction is encouraged from day one. In this setting, the children learn to distinguish and decipher the sounds of English. At this stage they speak their first words in English and in their mother tongue almost at the same time.
Kids - Learning to the rhythm of nature
From the age of three
The Kids&Us characters grow up at the same pace as our students because they are inspired by real girls and boys belonging to the age groups corresponding to our students'. Together with the protagonists of each course, students continue to learn English motivated by situations which are very close to their interests.
Tweens - Inquisitive minds grow everywhere
From the age of nine
Thanks to the strong oral foundation achieved in the Kids stage, Tweens students can make further progress in the internalisation of a large number of structures and idiomatic expressions. They become adept at reading and begin to write their first texts with the help of situations and characters that are meaningful for preadolescents.
Teens - Inspire the world you see
From the age of thirteen
Adolescence is a time of opening up to the world, when the mind absorbs new realities and requires broader language skills to be able to explain them. The Teens courses exploit these new facets of the adolescent brain to take a big step in language learning and become capable of communicating in many more situations and contexts.

Memorial: Mac MacDonell, 1953-2012
Vail, CO Colorado
Donald James "Mac" MacDonell, a longtime resident of the Vail Valley, died in mid-August, in Minturn, of natural causes. He was 59.
He is survived by his sister, Sandy DeSostoa, brother-in-law Thomas, nephew Bryce and niece Kelsey. He was predeceased by his parents, Donald and Stella May MacDonell, and brothers Alec and Mike.
Mac was born in Maracaibo, Venezuela, on Feb. 14, 1953. His father, a project manager for Bechtel Corp., the famed global infrastructure builder, moved the family around the world as big jobs required. Mac lived in Germany during his elementary school years and there was introduced to the wonders of skiing in the Bavarian Alps. After middle school in Australia, he moved a continent away to Argentina for high school, where he became fluent in Spanish but, more importantly, fell in love with the beautiful game, soccer. It was a passion that would never leave him.
Mac attended Bucknell University and earned a B.S. in accounting in 1975. He was a first-choice fullback on the Bisons' East Coast Conference championship teams, and his teammates can still recall his outstanding play in NCAA tournaments. Mac was famously known for his utter disinterest in fitness drills and his total commitment to playing soccer the right way.
He was small in stature, but his fluid technical skills more than made up for his lack of size. Mac played soccer for most of his life, always the football purist, and as a coach, he would pass his love of the beautiful game on to many young players in the valley.
Mac moved to Vail in the late 1970s along with his college friends Harry Gray and Doug Byren. He worked for Phillips and Associates, as well as a number of restaurants in town. As a skier, he was a dynamic bundle of energy. His ski tips pointed downhill nearly all the time; turns were optional. Mac was also an iconoclast. He loved his friends, he appreciated life, but he couldn't just hang with the crowd all the time, occasionally heeding a need to withdraw.
"He was passionate, caring, sensitive and complicated," said Dr. Gary Toubman, one of his college teammates.
No wonder Mac felt the call of the backcountry and gradually spent more of his ski time there. Perhaps because of his global upbringing, Mac was not one to settle down in one place forever. In 1998, he moved to Charlotte, N.C., to work for Time Warner Cable as a systems engineer. He was a good one, too, and he won an employee of the year award. He returned to the valley in 2008 to reboot and renew his passion for skiing. He found a home with the landscaping firm Johnie's Garden, owned by his friend John Rosenfeld.
Mac will be celebrated in song and word – and strong drink – at a memorial celebration to be held at Kirby Cosmo's in Minturn on Thursday at 6 p.m. His cremains will be returned to the backcountry, a place where he found so much solace in his life.

Jager named USATF Athlete of the Week
Provided by USATF
INDIANAPOLIS – 2012 Olympian Evan Jager has been named USA Track & Field's Athlete of the Week following his American record performance in finishing third in the men's 3,000m steeplechase at the Monaco Diamond League meet Friday.
In just his fifth time ever competing in the event, the 2012 Olympic Trials champion cruised through the finish in 8:06.81, dropping more than two seconds off Daniel Lincoln's previous record of 8:08.82 he set in 2006.
In his first international race in the steeplechase, Jager was well aware of the American record, but made it a point to not pay attention to the time until the final lap.
"I thought it would be a possibility, but it wasn't something I was expecting," Jager said of the record. "I wasn't sure how I would be able to handle a hard pace. I heard lap splits being called out the first two laps, but after that I was oblivious to everything else. With one lap to go I glanced at the clock and saw I was at 7:02 or 7:03 and I knew I needed to run the last lap in 65 seconds to run 8:08."
Jager will now look to carry momentum from his victory at the Olympic Trials and being named USATF Athlete of the Week into the Olympic Games. Heats for the men's 3,000m steeplechase are slated for the first day of track and field competition on August 3rd and the final August 5th.
"This is awesome," Jager said of being named Athlete of the Week. "Especially seeing the other results from Monaco. Aries Merritt had a PR (personal record) in the (110m) hurdles and Duane Solomon had a big personal best in the 800m.
"This gives me confidence to know I can put myself in position to run anywhere at the Olympics whether it's a fast pace or a slow tactical race. It gives me a lot of tools to work with."
Now in its 11th year, USATF's Athlete of the Week program is designed to recognize outstanding performers at all levels of the sport. USATF names a new honoree each week and features the athlete on www.usatf.org. Selections are based on top performances and results from the previous week.
2012 Winners: January 5, Landon Peacock; January 11, Kirubel Erassa; January 18, Shalane Flanagan; January 26, John Nunn; February 1, Gunnar Nixon; February 8, Jenn Suhr; February 14, Jillian-Camarena Williams; February 22, Brycen Spratling; February 28, Chaunte Lowe; March 7, Eric Broadbent; March 14, Ashton Eaton; March 21, Jeanne Daprano; March 27, Wallace Spearmon; April 3, Trevor Barron; April 9, Kevin Castille; April 18, Brittney Reese; April 25, Amy Sproston; May 2, Leo Manzano; May 9, Stephanie Brown-Trafton; May 16, Allyson Felix; May 23, Nick Hartle; May 30, Kimberlyn Duncan; June 6, Jessica Cosby and Meghan Vogel; June 13, Jesse Williams; June 20, Shelby Ashe; June 27, Ashton Eaton; July 4, Allyson Felix; July 11, Christian Cantwell; July 18, Gunnar Nixon; July 25, Evan Jager
Daprano sets milestone
Jeanne Daprano made history Saturday at the USATF Western Regional Masters Championships when she became the first American W75 athlete to break the seven-minute barrier in the mile in running 6:58.44. The performance was also good enough to surpass Mary Harada's W75 1,500m American record.
The performance for Daprano comes as she prepares for the USA Masters Outdoor Track & Field Championships August 2-5 at Benedictine University in Lisle, IL.
Daprano was named USATF Athlete of the Week on March 21 after setting three age-group world records at the USA Masters Indoor Track & Field Championships.

'It's encased entirely in a comfortable, rubberized soft touch housing. '
'the Nexus 5 display is immaculately sharp.'
'At this size it's an easy phone to manage, especially with some devices now getting too big to handle as phablet popularity grows. '
'Beastly specs usually mean high prices but the Nexus 5 retails from £299, making it one of the most affordable high-end smartphones ever produced. . '
'easy and comfortable viewing'
'I really enjoy holding it for long periods of time and have reverted back to reading books on my phone, something I haven't done since using my diddy-screened iPhone 4 two years ago.'
'The new look and feel brings with it a crisper and thinner font, a greater use of colour, and a layering system that gives everything added depth. '
'The iPhone 5S fully supports 2G and 3G (DC-HSPA and HSPA+) bands just as before but this time Apple has added in a host of additional 4G bands. '
'The LG G2's display is very bright, and it's certainly very readable in bright daylight.'
'Text on the G2 looks incredibly sharp, and it makes for a really great viewing experience.'
'It's thin enough to fit into your pocket without too much fuss. .'
'The display remains cool to the touch.'
'Some might see the plastic as regressive rather than progressive - it depends how much a lick of colour does for you - but any fears that you may have that C in 5C stands for "cheap" will disappear the moment you pick up the phone.'
'With the camera app, you have a new Automatic HDR mode, which applies HDR filters to objects and scenes before image capture. .'
Bright and cheerful new colors, Solid value
It's a cheaper iPhone, not a cheap iPhone

Application Info
compile "org.grails.plugins:app-info:1.1.1"
UI for inspecting various aspects of the application's configuration
Add a dependency in BuildConfig.groovy:
runtime ":app-info:1.0.3"
The Hibernate features were removed from this plugin and adding to a separate plugin, app-info-hibernate.
See this blog post for an updated test app and support for Grails 2.0+.The App Info plugin provides a UI for inspecting and altering various aspects of the application's configuration.Each page has a toolbar with these sections:
- Attributes
- Application
- Displays all application-scope attributes from the ServletContext
- Request
- Displays all request-scope attributes from the current HttpServletRequest. Mostly useful to see what's available in a typical request.
- Session
- Displays all session-scope attributes from the current HttpSession.
- Properties
- DataSource
- Read/write view of the DataSource bean. Depending on the DataSource implementation, changing an attribute will take effect immediately and reset the connection pool
- Grails
- Read-only view of the Configuration.
- System Properties:
- Read/write view of system properties. You can alter current properties or add new ones.
- Info
- Controllers
- All controllers, plus links to all actions
- Logging
- Reverse-engineered log4j.xml based on in-memory Log4j configuration. An estimate, so it may not be 100% accurate
- Comboboxes for all loggers to change the log level
- Text field to register a new Logger + level.
- Memory
- Graphs describing memory usage
- Action to trigger garbage collection.
- Sessions
- All current sessions
- Displays session-scope variables and a link to invalidate a session
- Only populated if
grails.plugins.appinfo.useContextListener = truein @[email protected]
- Spring Beans
- Spring bean information for all beans in the "main" context and the parent context
grails.plugins.appinfo.additional attribute in Config.groovy. For example this would create two additional menus:
The first would display "My Config" and have one menu item ('Configs'), and the second would display "Other Menu" and have two menu items ('Action 1' and 'Action 2'). The menu item Map keys are the action to invoke, and the values are the menu item text to display. Typically the actions (in this case 'configs', 'menuAction1', and 'menuAction2') would be defined in one or more custom mixins.Please report any bugs or feature requests in JIRA.
grails.plugins.appinfo.additional = [ "My Config": [ configs: "Configs" ], "Other Menu": [ menuAction1: "Action 1", menuAction2: "Action 2" ] ]

About me
Hello Pokemon community! I am very pleased to have finally joined this wiki and I hope to happily edit away like the rest of you. I am not very good with codes so sorry if my profile looks a mess! I have created a Work Page so that I can start to help cleanup some larger articles and drastically expand others. Anybody who wants to help with the current project(s) must ask me first.
You can also find me on Bulbapedia under the name of "Rainbow Shifter", but this does not mean that I copy information from there and put it on here or visa versa. I am also on the forums of ONM under the name of "Rainbow Shifter".
Also I am a full time member of the Wikia Language Brigade (WLB) and I work in three of their many departments: EN, FR and JA. I shall not be less active on this wiki but if you do need any help concerning translations then head on down to our hub on Community Central.

Police: Woman attacks ex's sleeping 8-year-old son
Police in Maryland say a woman broke into her ex-boyfriend's home and tried to bludgeon his sleeping 8-year-old son to death.
Prince George's County police said Tuesday that 26-year-old Helen Marie Newsome broke into the home in Landover over the weekend. After hiding for more than 12 hours until the boy's father went to work Saturday morning, police say Newsome covered the boy's head with a pillow and beat him with a dumbbell weight. But the boy fought back and managed to escape to a neighbor's home.
Newsome jumped out a window, but police say she was arrested nearby.
The boy's father had recently broken up with Newsome. She is charged with first-degree attempted murder.
Online court records do not list an attorney for Newsome.

Table of Contents
YAM has a huge number of options, which can be set up in the configuration window. The program options are divided into sheets which can be selected by clicking on the corresponding word in the left part of the configuration window. There are also three menu items available.
First Steps
This sheet contains some essential information needed for YAM to work.
Minimal configuration
Full Name
Your real name and surname. Please take care that this field is filled in correctly. DO NOT use quotation marks in your name.
Example: John Doe
E-mail address
This is your e-mail address, consisting of your <username>@<domainname>.
Example: jdoe@…
Mail server
The Internet address (hostname or IP) of your system's mail server. This server, which normally is a computer of your ISP (Internet Service Provider), must be capable of working with the POP3/SMTP protocol.
Example: mail.example.com
User name
The user name for logging into the mail server of your ISP.
Example: jdoe
The password which is asked from you by your mail server. This password is possibly but not necessarily identical to the password you use to log in on your ISP, and is usually case sensitive.
Example: nguz56
Time zone
The time and date displayed by YAM in the message list is always converted to your local time. This guarantees correct sorting of messages from all over the world sent out from different time zones. The time zone is part of the message's date and specifies the difference between local time and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
Examples: GMT+01:00 (for Central Europe), GMT 00:00 (for the U.K.), GMT-05:00 (for U.S. EST e.g. New York City)
Normally YAM will get the time zone from your Locale settings, thus this selector will be ghosted.
Add adjustment for daylight saving time
This option is to be activated during daylight saving time. By doing so, one hour will be added to the time zone value. YAM automatically changes to/from daylight saving time if the operating system support DST switching (e.g. AmigaOS4) or if a AutoDST tool like SetDST, FACTS or SummertimeGuard is installed. This is indicated by ghosting this checkbox.
Example: John Doe
Here you can enter the information needed to actually send email, as well as define additional POP3 accounts.
Send mail (SMTP)
Apart from the primary SMTP server already defined in the First steps section, you can set up an unlimited number of SMTP servers here; the names appear in the list on the left and clicking on a name brings up the relevant details on the right. Note that these accounts can be for the same user on a different server, or a different user on the same server. Either way, you can check for new mail with a single mouse click. Click on [New] to insert the data required for a new e-mail account. With [Delete] you can delete accounts.
The Internet address of the system you're sending your mail to. This server, which usually is a computer of your ISP (Internet Service Provider), must be capable of processing the SMTP protocol.
Example: mail.example.com
The port number of the SMTP service. The standard port is 25 for plain SMTP. In case of using SSL/TLS connections this port may also be 576 or 456.
Example: 25
SMTP server allows 8bit
Originally only the US-ASCII character set was allowed for use in e-mail, which meant that users were forced to use vowels (e.g., they had to use 'ae' instead of 'ä'). The reason for that was that many servers only processed the first 7 bits and simply cut off the 8th bit, crippling the e-mail while doing so. This problem was solved by introducing the MIME quoted-printable standard, which converts all 'unauthorized' characters to 7 bit before transfer and reconverts them to the original characters on delivery. Modern mail servers don't have problems with non-US-ASCII characters any more, so messages do not necessarily have to be converted. If you are absolutely sure that your server supports 8 bit transfers, you can switch this option on and save a few bits when transferring e-mails. The best way to find out if your mail server supports this is to write a message to yourself containing modified vowels and see what happens.
Example: Yes
Use SMTP AUTH
Enable this if you want to use SMTP Authentication, whereby YAM will request your mail server to use an extra authentication layer as documented in RFC 2554. You will need to fill in another couple of UserID/Password fields in this case. If your SMTP server does not support SMTP AUTH, you will receive an error message when trying to send email. Ask your ISP if in doubt.
Example: No
When using SMTP AUTH you can insert the user name for the SMTP authentification here. In most cases this will be identical to the username in your e-mail address. However, there are exceptions, so check the instructions from your ISP (YAM then constructs the full account name in the form <Username>@<server>).
Example: jdoe
The password which has to be sent to the mail server at login time. You can leave this field empty for security reasons — if you do, the password will be asked to you whenever you send new mails. Also, remember the password is case sensitive.
Example: nguz56
Use SMTP TLSv1/SSLv3
Enable this if your SMTP server supports TLSv1/SSLv3 secure connections. If enabled, YAM will connect via the AmiSSL library with the SMTP server and encrypts every transfer.
Example: No
Receive mail (POP3)
Apart from the primary POP3 server already defined in the First steps section, you can set up an unlimited number of POP3 servers here; the names appear in the list on the left and clicking on a name brings up the relevant details on the right. Note that these accounts can be for the same user on a different server, or a different user on the same server. Either way, you can check for new mail with a single mouse click. Click on [New] to insert the data required for a new e-mail account. With [Delete] you can delete accounts.
The Internet address of the system you're sending your mail to. This server, which usually is a computer of your ISP (Internet Service Provider), must be capable of processing the POP3 protocol.
Example: pop.example.com
The port number of the POP3 service. The standard port is 110 for plain POP3. In case of using SSL/TLS connections this port may also be 995.
Example: 110
The user name for authentication against the specified POP server.. In most cases this will be identical to the username in your e-mail address. However, there are exceptions, so check the instructions from your ISP (YAM then constructs the full account name in the form <Username>@<server>).
Example: jdoe
The password which has to be sent to the mail server at login time. You can leave this field empty for security reasons — if you do, the password will be asked to you whenever you send new mails. Also, remember the password is case sensitive.
Example: nguz56
Switch this option on to have the selected POP3 account checked for new mail whenever you use the Get new mail button in the toolbar, or the equivalent item in the "Folder" menu. If you don't want this email account to be checked automatically, switch this option off and use the menu item Folder/Check single account from the main window instead.
Example: Yes
Use POP3 TLSv1/SSLv3
Activate this option to use SSL based encryption under the TLS protocol as described in RFC 2595. This adds extra security to prevent the typical eavesdropping and hijacking attacks which POP is commonly subject to, and will use port 995 instead of the usual 110. The with STLS option will force the use of the POP3 STARTTLS extension, adding another layer of security to the communication, using again port 110. If your POP3 server doesn't support any of this, you will receive an error message when checking for new mail. Also, AmiSSL is required.
Example: Yes
Login using APOP
Normally the Username and the password are transmitted as plain text when connecting to a POP3 server. Under certain circumstances, this could be a security risk, and for this reason modern POP3 servers support the APOP authentication, which transmits the username and password encrypted with a key which is delivered by the server. If your POP3 server does not support APOP you'll receive an error message when checking for new mail; in that case, switch this option off. Also note, that if your POP3 server supports TLS/SSL this should be preferred as it also transmits the email content encrypted rather than in plain text.
Example: No
Delete mail on server
If this option is activated, new mail will be deleted after downloading it from the mail server. The messages will be deleted only after they have been successfully saved to your computer. If the POP3 account is used by several people, or if you'd like to access your account again later from another computer, this option can be deactivated.
Example Yes
New mail
Controlling the way mail is downloaded.
After establishing a link with the POP3 server, a preselection window may open showing a list of all new mail in the POP3 mailbox. This allows you to decide whether to download, delete or leave a message on the server, according to its size, topic or sender. For pre-selection to work properly, the server must support the TOP command which most of them do.
never: pre-selection is deactivated
large messages: only messages bigger than a size defined by you will be displayed in pre-selection
always: every message will be displayed in pre-selection
always, only sizes: all messages will be displayed but only their sizes will be shown. The advantage of this method is that it is pretty fast.
Example: always
Size limit
If pre-selection is activated, messages which exceed the size given here will be highlighted. This way you can avoid downloading messages with huge attachments. The size is given in kilobytes. If you don't want to use any limit, just insert '0'.
In everyday use, the settings 'pre-selection = large messages' and 'size limit=100 kB' have proved to be advantageous. With these settings, the pre-selection window will only appear if at least one of the new messages exceeds 100 kilobytes in size.
Example: 100
Transfer window
Here you can decide if you want to see the transfer window while receiving or sending mail. With automatic it only opens if you manually initialize the transfer, staying closed while YAM automatically checks for new mail.
Example: never
Avoid duplicates
If you choose not to have YAM delete the mail on the server after downloading, it will be downloaded again next time YAM gets your mail, so every message will appear twice in your mail folder. To prevent this, switch the Avoid duplicates option on — as long as this option is activated, YAM will keep track of all your downloaded messages in the .uidl file and use special commands of the POP3 server to avoid downloading the same message twice. If the POP3 server supports these UIDL commands, this check will be done rather quickly. If the server doesn't support these commands, YAM will try to read the Message-ID using the TOP command instead of the UIDL commands. In case the mail server doesn't support any of these commands, this option must be turned off.
Example: Yes
Update message status
If this option is activated, new messages in the 'Incoming' folder will be marked as 'unread' before downloading new mail. This way you can instantly recognize the new mail that was downloaded the last time you've fetched mail.
Example: Yes
Automatic operation
Check for new mail every [xx] minutes
Here you can specify a time interval after which YAM will automatically recheck your mail server for new mail. To deactivate this option, simply select zero.
Example: 15 minutes
Download large messages
Whenever new mail is downloaded automatically (every x minutes or using ARexx), the selection window won't pop up since the user is likely to be working with another program at the time, or not in front of the computer at all. Mails exceeding the size limit won't be downloaded and will remain on the server if this option is not activated.
Example: No
Once YAM has downloaded new mail, it will display a requester showing the number of new and deleted messages.
Example: Yes
Once YAM has downloaded new mail, it will play a sound file. The datatypes library is used for playing, so the sound file can be of any format (like AIFF or WAVE), as long as you have installed the appropriate datatypes. Click the small arrow (PLAY symbol) to test the sound.
Example: Data:Audio/Newmail.snd
This is a program to be executed when new mail arrives. Insert the command as you'd do at a command line interface. If it is an Arexx script, you have to put the 'RX' command in front of the name of the script.
Example: RX PROGDIR:rexx/Newmail.YAM
The purpose of a mail filter is to process mail according to criteria defined by the user. Whenever a mail matches a specified pattern, it can trigger certain actions. Applications for the use of filters include
- automatically moving mail from a mailing list to a specified folder
- automatic processing of incoming inquiries by sending pre-defined answers
- automatic deletion of unwanted spam (advertising by e-mail, a real pest nowadays)
- automatic re-directing of mails to another recipient.
You can define theoretically an unlimited number of filters. The list on the left shows the names of all the filters defined so far. Click on a name to bring up its details on the right, spread across three sheets — Options, Comparison and Action. Click on [New] to create a new filter or use [Delete] to delete one. Filters are executed in top-to-bottom order, therefore you should place filters that delete or move messages at the bottom of the list.
The filter's name is merely for recognition and not of any other use.
Remote filter
With a remote filter, new email can be checked on the POP3 server without being downloaded completely. The POP3 server must support the TOP command to be able to process this kind of filter. In contrast to 'normal' filters, only the contents of the e-mail headers can be searched for certain patterns. For obvious reasons, functions like forwarding or moving e-mails cannot be used with remote filters. In addition, if remote filters are activated they might slow down downloading e-mail, but they are handy and powerful if used with care.
Apply to new mail
Activate this option to have all new mail processed by this filter. Processing will start automatically after receiving new mail.
Apply to sent mail
Activate this option to have all sent mail processed by this filter. Processing will be initiated automatically after sending mail.
Apply on request
If this option is activated, the filtering process will be started by clicking on the Filter button in the main window or by choosing 'Filter' from the 'Folder' menu. This way you can also process old messages which do not necessarily have to be in the Incoming folder.
Search in
Here you can define what part of the e-mail should be scanned for the search pattern. If you want a field of the message header to be searched, you can choose one from the list which appears when clicking on the cycle gadget, or select 'Other field' and insert the name of the header field into the text field on the right side of the cycle gadget. If 'Message body' is selected, the whole message -except for the headers- will be searched. Please note that this type of full text search may take quite a long time when big mails are processed (YAM will have to decode mails in MIME format).
Example: 'Other field: X-Mailer'
The instruction comprises the comparison operator and the search pattern.
YAM supports the following comparison operators:
- = the text which is compared must match the search pattern
- < the text must be "less" than the search pattern
- > the text must be "greater than" the search pattern
- ≠ the text must be different from the search pattern
- IN the text must match pattern contained in the file which is specified in the text field to the right side of the comparison cycle gadget. Instead of a search pattern itself, the name of a file has to be inserted here, containing one or several lines of search patterns. In this way it is possible to create a so-called 'Killfile' containing a list of e-mail addresses. Click on the page icon to edit the file.
Note that the comparison operators '<' and '>' work differently according to the type of field. YAM knows that a message size or date is numeric and sorts these in numerical order, but for fields such as "Subject:", alphanumeric order is used as in a telephone directory, so James < Jim and 12 < 2.
The search pattern may contain AmigaDOS wildcards such as ?, #?, (a|b) or [abc]. Please note that the search pattern [YAM]#? will filter all messages beginning with Y, A or M. For filtering mails coming from a mailing list (for example, a mailing list related to YAM), you'd better use the search pattern #?YAM#? or have the filter compare the Reply-To: field with the address of the mailing list.
Example: '= YAM 1.3.#?'
If you make the filter search a header field containing an e-mail address, you can specify here whether the search pattern should be processed on the actual address (e.g. jdoe@…) or the author's name (e.g. 'John Doe').
Case sensitive
Activate this option if you want the filtering process to distinguish between normal and capital letters.
Substring search
If the search pattern consists of only a part of the header field which is to be searched through, you must activate this option - YAM will then complete the search pattern with #? internally.
It is possible to combine two search criteria. The cycle gadget lets you select how this is to be done:
none don't use a second criterion and both criteria must be satisfied or at least one of the two criteria must be met exclusive or either one or the other of the two criteria must apply, but not both
Activate this option to have mail matching the search criteria bounced to another recipient — for instance, you might use this to automatically resend certain email to your mailbox at work.
The new recipient's e-mail address must be inserted into the text field next to the option.
Example: jdoe@…
Activate this option when you want e-mail matching the search criteria to be forwarded to another person. The new recipient's e-mail address must be inserted into the text field next to the option.
If this option is activated, YAM will send an automatic reply to any mail matching the search pattern. Enter the filename containing the auto-answer text into the text field next to this option.
Example: PROGDIR:Auto-Texts/Answer1.txt
If this option is activated, an external program will be executed whenever an email matches the search criterion. YAM will send the path of the e-mail to the external program as a starting parameter. Insert the command line into the text field next to this option.
Please note that if you want an ARexx script to be executed, you will have to explicitely put the 'RX' command first.
Example: 'rx PROGDIR:Rexx/Subscribe.rexx'
Play sound
Activate this option to have a sound played whenever a message matches the search pattern. The sound file name is to be inserted into the text field next to this option. YAM uses the datatypes library for playing the sound. Click the small arrow (PLAY symbol) to test the sound.
Example: Data:Audio/Ihatespam.wav
If you activate this option, YAM will move any email matching the search pattern to another folder. You can select the folder with the pop-up button.
If this option is activated, all messages matching the search pattern will be deleted. (You probably guessed that… )
Don't download
If this option is activated, any message matching the search pattern will not be downloaded from the mail server. You can use a remote filter together with this option if several people share the same POP3 account.

Repository items correspond to business objects, like customers, and elements of business objects, like a customer's shipping address. An item descriptor in an SQL repository defines a repository item type. It specifies repository item properties and the database tables and columns that store the data of those properties. This chapter describes how to define item descriptors and how to represent the relationships between item descriptors in an SQL repository definition.
Note that an SQL repository cannot necessarily work with any arbitrary SQL database model. The basic data model patterns are described in the Sample SQL Repository Definition Files section of the SQL Repository Reference chapter.

UBS Warrants
With UBS Warrants, investors who are willing to take risks can choose between call and Put Warrants. Call Warrants benefit from rising prices of the underlying asset whereas Put Warrants rely on falling prices of the underlying asset, as a Call Warrant guarantees the right to buy a specific underlying asset (e.g. equities, indices, currency pairs, interest rates, commodities) at a fixed strike price. A Put Warrant, on the other hand, contains the right to sell a specific underlying asset at a fixed strike price. An American-style option lets you buy or sell the underlying at any time; a European-style option on the other hand can only be exercised on the expiration date.
Warrants are securitized options and have a leveraging effect. Investors thus participate in the underlying asset's performance, but only use the option price. And the price is only a fraction of the cost of the underlying asset. Leverage can, however, work in the opposite direction. If investors misjudge the market, they can lose all of their initial outlay.
Option prices depend on several variables, namely the residual term, the price of the underlying asset and its implied volatility, the interest rates and any dividends of the underlying asset. All these factors are used to calculate the option price and can affect it positively or negatively. Option prices can respond violently to small changes in a factor. In addition, investors must take into consideration the issuer risk, since losses of the invested capital could occur if UBS AG becomes insolvent, regardless of the performance of the underlying asset and other market parameters.

baroque is head to toes this season: let's DIY it
I'm having so much fun experimenting with polymer clay.
This DIY is VERY simple, but the result is "totes-amaze"!
I've been seeing baroque specs and sunglasses here and there, and all of them (with very few exceptions) have sky high price-tags.
My inspiration board
|my inspiration board on polyvore
I have a large quantity of black sunnies, some of them I don't wear very often anymore, and I buy my reading glasses by the dozen (really) at the dollar store.
While I love my sunglasses black, I love my reading glasses quirky and full of colors.
DIY baroque sunnies & specks: the supplies:
* polymer clay in the color of your glasses (or in a contrast color, if you want to make an even more WOW look)
* a baroque mold - this is 1 of 4 moulds in the Martha Stewart Crafts Silicon Mold, Frame and Flourishes
* X-ACTO Z Series #1 Knife with Cap (XZ3601)
* toaster oven
Any tool, surface, oven, rolling pin, knife, cookie cutter or pasta machine that comes in contact with polymer clay CANNOT be used EVER AGAIN with anything else than polymer clay!
DIY baroque specs and sunnies the how-to /tutorial:* condition your clay: I had to mix two colors to get close to the color of my specs.
It came out a bit lighter, ... but I fixed that... keep reading :)
* Push the the clay into the mold, making sure that all these tiny "swiggly cavities" are filled with clay
* Use the knife to cut the clay perfectly even to the mold, so you won't have extra clay and extra thickness on your glasses.
* You can pick whether to bake the clay into the mold or pulling the clay out of the mold:
I tried both: I pulled the magenta parts out of the mold, while I baked the black ones inside the mold.
I have to say, it's much easier to pop these pieces out of the mold once backed, because the shape is quite intricate and I had to struggle a bit with the magenta ones.
this is the result after baking!
See the color of the pink / magenta is an exact match?
I admit I got lucky: but to achieve a darker shade, I baked this batch at a slightly higher temperature, and they came out just perfect.
* Once all the pieces are baked, keep your oven warm for a little, you're going to need it again.
* Hold one or two pieces at the time while you're wearing the glasses and look into a mirror, to figure out your pattern.
* I used two empty jars to keep my glasses {sort of} in a workable position, and placed a tiny drop of E 6000 glue only on the contact spots.
Why keeping your oven warm?
Because the frames aren't flat, so you'll need to put back in the oven a piece at the time (for less than a minute) to soften it up and glue it on the fame, molding the baroque accent to your needs.
* Once the glue is dry, apply with a tiny brush a coat of shiny clear paint or nail polish, and {of course} let dry.
Wear with pride!!

You've noticed that recently I started sharing a SEO Infographics and I hope you enjoy some of the best ones I'm choosing to share. In this post I'd like to go into how to create infographics.
I'll briefly cover what it is and why it's good to use those in your content strategy. I'll also showcase a few infographics resources that will help you get materials and learn the steps. So, here we go…
What are infographics?
In essence, infographics are visual representations of data. It's it's easier to look at a pretty picture than to read a blog post :). Hence the popularity of infographics as content marketing tool. Visual.ly is a great place to explore various examples of infograhpics. Here's a quick example of a video illustrating infographics (although this one is actually a videographic, but we'll get to it later):
Why use infographics?
As I just mentioned pictures are a lot more fun to look at than reading a 1000-word article. Well-built infographics offer a simple description of the process, data, and whatever complex concepts there are on the internet and beyond.
Also, infographics have become a strong content marketing tool for their huge rate of sharability. People like the simplistic way of infographics and they choose to share them with friends and colleagues. As a result, the site gets tonnes of backlinks from blogs, sites and social networks like Facebook and Twitter.
Here's a great article by Neil Patel on the importance of infographics for your content marketing strategy, and SEO for that matter.
Want to look at infographics?
Infographics are great tools to learn new things. For example, as I already mentioned, you can learn a lot about SEO concepts by looking at this post (see examples below). Or you can choose any other subject and do a few Google searches to find infographics most suited for your needs. Here's a few good resources where you can find free but cool infographics:
- The simplest way to start exploring infographics is by doing a Google Image search for infographics. You can also specify your query to include your field of interest such as social media infographics OR engineering infographics. Go ahead and do explore!
- The next best thing is looking at sites like Visual.ly. It's a hub for infographic lovers and designers. It's a great place to search for infographics in specific fields.
- If you're fan of social media and new technology stuff, then you probably know of Mashable. They have quite conveniently put together a Pinterest board on infographics. Also a great place to check on social media and marketing infographics.
- Last but not the least, there are places like Daily Infographics that scout the web for cool infographics and post them on daily basis or even more often. Search Google for things like [daily infographics] or [infographics collections] and you'll find a whole lot of sites that will give you what you're looking for.
How to create infographics
Now that you've looked at a few pretty infographics you'd probably want to create your own. Although there are shops that will create infographics for you (prices vary) you'd want to create your own infographic or at least be familiar with the process. Here's a few good articles that will help you do that.
- How to create great infographics for under $500 at SEOmoz
- How to Create an Awesome Infographic at Mashable
- Do-It-Yourself Guide to Infographics at Marketing Tech Blog
- How To Design Your Own Infographics at Queness
FREE infographics tools and resource collections
Now that you've learn a few things about creating infographics, here's a short list of tools and resources that you can use to create those. This includes both infographics templates, sets for Adobe Photoshop and actual platforms that will help you develop your own infographics.
- The actual tool to build infographics by Piktochart
- Over 100 Incredible Infographic Tools and Resources (Categorized)
- Build your infographics using PowerPoint, tool and process by HubSpot
- 20+ Tools To Create Your Own Infographics
- Showcase of Free Infographic PSD Templates
- 30+ Really Useful Infographics Tools & Resources
The above list doesn't aim for being the most complete list of resources on infographics. However, while creating this list I wanted to avoid duplication. And, as you can assume, there's a lot of resources referencing the same infographic tools and resources online.
I hope this gives you a few good ideas on creating your own infographics and building links the right way. Feel free to mention other special tools you know of in the comments. Also share your infographic development stories. As always, I appreciate an occasional share of my posts
My collection of SEO infographics
Here's a few SEO and digital marketing infographics that I've collected over time. I hope you enjoy both the quality and the information from these visual pieces. I also added some commentary to each one of those to differentiate which ones are awesome and which ones need to have some work done on them. Here we go…
Google vs. Facebook advertising
There's a number of options to advertise your product or service on the internet. The two primary online advertising providers these days are Google AdWords and Facebook Advertising. I came across a good infographic on the subject and wanted to share it with you below. Click on the image to see a bigger version.
Overview of Facebook Advertising
I know you like to look at infographics and by all means do that, but here's a few key takeaways in words:
- This infographic is based on a review of display ads (ads with pictures / images)
- Google is the winner, at least so far mainly due to more diverse ad formats offered
- Google is also stronger for its larger network coverage
- Depending on your goals and the audience you'd like to reach, Facebook may be the choice for your campaign
SEO is dead?
I wrote about a client discussion on the matter of the end of SEO a few weeks back. I just came across a great piece of infographic on the matter. It goes really nicely into describing which people thought of the death of SEO and why, historically. I just wanted to make sure that I connect the two and give credit to the developers of this Seo Infographic too. Great job!
SEO Graphic by SEO Book
12 steps to SEO recovery
Here's another good SEO infographic I wanted to share with you. With a bit of humour and good intentions this SEO infographic communicates to SEO consultants and their clients. The bottom line is: SEO is not about tricking Google. It's about understanding what search engines do and improving website communication with search engines. And, creating great content along the way. I hope ou enjoy it as much as I did. As always, kudos to the author!
SEO outsourcing
Since the early days of SEO a big question has been: Should we outsource our SEO or do it in-house? Here's a good SEO infographic that goes into explaining the benefits of SEO outsourcing to companies. It goes into how much you save, cost of SEO outsourcing as well as a few scenarios you should pursue if you engage with an outsourced team. As always, kudos to the author!
12 ways to improve SEO copywriting
It's not 1999 any more and keyword stuffing is not working. However, you still have to pay attention to your copywriting for SEO purposes. Believe it or not SEO copywriting affects your Google rankings today, but in different ways. Here's a great recommendations for SEO copywriting. Thanks to the author and sponsors for putting it together.
History of search engines and SEO
I've been working on an SEO course and ran into a few interesting infographics on the history of search engines and SEO, and wanted to share then here with you. When search engines started depends on sources. For example, Search Engine History starts tin he story in 1945.
Search Engine Journal takes us back to 1957 to begin its SEO tale. WordStream's History of Search SEO infographic only starts from 1990. Finally, a PPCblog.com's SEO infographic starts at 1994 point. I liked the last one the most so here it is below and as always, kudos to the authors!
Infographic by the PPC Blog.com
State of Digital Marketing 2012
Nope, this one is not an SEO infographic, however, it's closely related. This time I wanted to share something that will show a rounded up picture of where the industry of digital marketing is as of 2012.
In my opinion this one is one of the best infographics I've seen lately. Great use of symbols, graphs and ideas. Huge thanks to Markus Allen for butting together such a professional infograhic! Some of the key takeaways are as follows:
- B2B goes for generating leads vs. B2C goes for awareness
- SEO has the biggest impact on both B2B and B2C
- A lot of people (70%) are can't figure out how to attribute SEO efforts to their bottom line
- Satisfaction with digital marketing results is higher when an outsourced agency involved (comparing to doing it in-house)
Check the rest of the infographic out and give some link love to the author. Share what you think in the comments.
Guide to online marketing
Here's another great online marketing infographic by Unbounce. I love what these guys are doing, I've actually used their landing pages product for a number of my clients' campaigns and absolutely loved it. Make sure you check their landing page tools out.
This online marketing infographic paints a great picture for newbies in the industry. It splits the digital marketing realm into logical and manageable pieces as well as gives a few definitions along the way. Kudos to the author as always!

2012 SEO industry survey
I've already shared the results of SEO industry research done by SEOmoz. This one is a bit less detailed, but presented in an SEO infographic, which makes the whole thing that much better. Although this SEO infographic won against a few other ones today, I'd say that it's still a bit on the cheap end of infographics in my experience. What do I mean by that?
2012 SEO industry results in an SEO infographic
- What does the first question mean to me as an SEO industry practitioner? If I get the answer correctly, the 76% of people surveyed ticked the Facebook Business page. These people also DID NOT tick the Analytics box. Very weird question to ask if the answer is that meaningless.
- The question on the kinds of content is much more meaningful. However, the presentation of results in this SEO infographic degrades data. Why would you put the number of responses instead of the percentages. Does the author expect users to calculate percentages from that? Percentages would be way more meaningful. I wonder if SEW provided these results in number of responses, not percentages.
- SEO tools question does make sense and it does put things into percentages. Love the question and surprised by the answer. I use SEOmoz too, but I wasn't ever sure that SEOmoz software would have such a huge piece of the pie in the SEO industry. From my experience I'd say that SEO professionals use several of these at the same time.
Anyways, I still liked this one a bit so I wanted to share it with you. Still a good effort on the part of the infographic designer. But I wasn't able to find the author and didn't want to link back to SocialMediaIn7Minutes as I don't think they did it (maybe paid for it, yes, but i don't think they did it). It does take experience to make good SEO infographics. Stay tuned, more infographics is coming soon!
How Google works
Yet another great SEO infographic from PPC Blog. I got to it while working on my practical SEO course launching soon! This SEO infographic may not be the best design-wise, but it does convey a few interesting things about Google, it's alrogithm as well as some cool and funny things along the way. I hope you enjoy this on, feel free to pass long to your friends and colleagues. Cheers!

A Contrographic by Subtle Network
To continue the quest for collecting good SEO infographics here, I'd like to share another one with you. I recently got an email from a company called Subtle Network that designed an SEO infographic for PointBlank SEO and asked me if I could share it on my blog. And here's what I'm doing here, with pleasure!
What's special about this SEO infographic?
This infograhpic shows a lifecycle of an SEO, which, speaking from experience, is quite true. To add a critique point: it took me awhile (I needed to read an entire piece to get what was going on). Some of the other ones SEO infographics were usually clear from the headline or sub-headline at the most. I hope this is something they'll improve on in the future. Still kudos to creators for an interesting, non-standard infographic, aka contrographic.

I hope you enjoyed the post and materials I've collected here. Feel free to leave a note or two in the comments below. Cheers!

A few years ago, when I was but a baby chick in the publishing and speaking industry, I was asked to make a small presentation at a function. Just beforehand, I received an e-mail from the woman heading up the gathering, which read: Eva Marie, what do you want Patsy Clairmont to say when she introduces you?
What? Patsy Clairmont is introducing me?
When you're in the writing and speaking industry, you are blessed in so many ways. For me, one of the greatest blessings is to be associated with people like Patsy ...being introduced by her went over the top. Recently, I read her latest book, "I Grew Up Little" (W Publishing). I learned some things about Patsy ... and now it's my turn to tell others a bit about her.
Within the book's pages, Patsy lays the truth about her life on the line: this petite powerhouse for God was a high school dropout, a teenage runaway, a wife at 17 and a mother at 20. She has suffered from panic attacks, agoraphobia, has been addicted to caffeine and tranquilizers. At one time, Patsy Clairmont (a woman who spends 30 weekends a year on stage before thousands as she speaks with the Women of Faith conferences) couldn't summon the courage to even get out of bed.
Patsy and I — one witty Southern girl at heart and one chatty Southern girl by birth — got together for a little chit-chat the other day ... wanna listen in?
Eva Marie: Patsy, I so loved your book. It's honest and real. I can just hear your voice in it. What led to your decision to write it?
Patsy: Encouragement from Mary Graham, president of Women of Faith. I personally had had no interest to write my story but she convinced me that it could have redemptive value for others. After two years of "bugging" me, I agreed.
Eva Marie: This is one of those things you talk about with your closest friends but never thought to tell. ...
Patsy: I had never really thought my life through from beginning to end in the way one has to write it. It was painful ... joyful ... and it opened my eyes to a few things I'd never faced.
Eva Marie: Several years ago I began writing short stories ... just for myself ... about the people in my life who had had any significance ... such as my parents, my brother, friends, teachers, etc. I found the same thing was true. There is pain involved, but in the midst of life's hurts there is so much laughter and joy.
Patsy: I agree.
Eva Marie: Part of your story includes talking about your struggles with agoraphobia (abnormal fear of being helpless in an embarrassing or unescapable situation that is characterized especially by the avoidance of open or public places). Has this been an ongoing part of your testimony, or something you just recently decided to share?
Patsy: It has been ongoing. It was actually Florence Littauer who nudged me to share that part many years ago.
Eva Marie: Oh, I just love her so much!
Patsy: She is my dear, dear mentor and friend.
Eva Marie: Patsy, what are the numbers, do you know? How many suffer with being a prisoner in their own homes ... and minds?
Patsy: I don't know an exact number but what I found is there are a gazillion who battle panic attacks.
Eva Marie: I personally know about a gazillion and one. But, Patsy ... why do you think we now hear of this ailment so much when we really never heard of it before?
Patsy: I'm not sure if it's pace. ... everything is a battle and a race it seems. It could be because abuse is rampant. And we Americans are famous for our denial.
Eva Marie: Okay, back to the book itself. You picked a person who was significant in your life and then wrote about him or her per chapter. How did you decide whom to write about?
Patsy: Oh, golly. I picked the ones who wouldn't sue me!! (Patsy laughs)
Eva Marie: Oh, how funny. Patsy, I think that when someone such as yourself becomes a role model, and one who is known for her humor at that, we forget that into every life a little rain must fall ... which would mean you've experienced some storms along the way, too. I say that to say this: I think that the most poignant of all was the chapter about your brother. Can you talk about him a bit more for our readers?
Patsy: He died when he was 38 and I was 29. It was the most devastating thing I had experienced. He was kind and fun, and he liked me. (Giggles) I still miss him.
Eva Marie: I saw his photo ... he was quite dashing, too!
Patsy: Yes, and he had six darling children who still miss him as well.
Eva Marie: Your brother's accident and death were nearly relived with your sister.
Patsy: Yes, that really left me weak in the knees.
Eva Marie: Your sister suddenly went into a coma ... and it was your voice that brought her back. I know sisters have a special bond, but what was it in your voice, do you think, that allowed your sister to hear you when she lay comatose?
Patsy: We have a deep connection and certainly it was God's plan and timing.
Eva Marie: Patsy, whose decision was it to have photographs before each chapter? I love them!
Patsy: I believe it was Mary's idea. I am a visual gal and I love pictures. They are so personal and add to a story.
Eva Marie: Speaking of photos ... who is the hunk in chapter 8? [I am referring to the photo of her husband taken in their early years.]
Patsy: That hunk is mine, mine, mine!!!! Yahoo!!
Eva Marie: Although he is quite the catch, you are beautifully, painfully honest about the rough years of your marriage. It's easy to see NOW that God had HUGE plans for the two of you, but did it seem that way AT ALL in the beginning?
Patsy: No way!
Eva Marie: What was life like back then?
Patsy: We struggled big time ... and for a long time.
Eva Marie: Again, I think it's so important that you shared this. People see a long-term, successful marriage and think it was always like this ... but you spent the first part of your marriage apart.
Patsy: People ask Les today "How has your marriage lasted for forty-two years?" He quips, "She travels!" He's very funny.
Eva Marie: Oh, he and my husband would get along great! My husband is the funniest man I know ...
Patsy: Awww ... I love funny people!
Eva Marie: So, let's talk about the photo of you heading up chapter nine ...
Patsy: It was hard to find one that might portray my prisoner years. Can you tell how skinny I was??? My weight was about 85 pounds, and then I made my way up to 92 pounds and stayed there for a long time — now my right thigh weighs that much.
Eva Marie: Patsy, I've seen you recently and it does not!
Patsy: Trust me ... ask Les ... no, never mind!
Eva Marie: You are too funny ...
Patsy: You, too!
Eva Marie: I loved the southern references when you wrote about your extended family and their roots. I'm a southern gal myself, you know!
Patsy: Where from?
Eva Marie: Just outside of Savannah, Georgia.
Patsy: All right now ... one of those peaches.
Eva Marie: When I was reading those sections I thought your grandmother is the kind of person I'd like to be ...
Patsy: She was a fine lady.
Eva Marie: There's no place like the South and no people quite like Southern people.
Patsy: You got that right. When I go to glory I'm going to live in Southern Heaven.
Eva Marie: Oh, good! Then maybe we'll be neighbors! But no lima bean shelling!
That wouldn't be heaven!
Patsy: It's a deal!
Eva Marie: We'll drink iced tea from Mason jars while sitting in front porch rockers, okay?
Patsy: It's a date!
Eva Marie: Okay ... okay ... enough about us and our eternal mansions. Patsy, what are you hoping people will gain from this book? What is your prayer for those who read it?
Patsy: For anyone who has thought "How could God use me?" I hope it gives them courage to press on. For those who are stuck I hope it helps them take the next step.
Eva Marie: So then what is the best piece of advice you can give to someone who feels they are trapped in a marriage ... or in a lifestyle ... or in their home ... or by their own mind?
Patsy: That Jesus still sets prisoners free...that liberty takes time...and that all their hard work to become strong in the Lord will bring results. We are a microwave generation looking for quick easy solutions God's ways must be worked into the marrow of our bones.
Eva Marie: I believe that, too. Patsy would you say a special prayer for those who suffer as you once did?
Patsy: Lord of our todays, our yesterdays, and all of our tomorrows, remind us of your sovereign care — help us to move past our fears by doing the hard work of trusting you. Thank you that you walk beside us and behind us and before us as well as within us and that you promise to never ever leave us. We trust your word. Amen
Eva Marie: Amen.

Today's Highlight in History
Today is Sunday, Feb. 17, the 48th day of 2013. There are 317 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On Feb. 17, 1913, the Armory Show, a landmark exhibit of European modern art, opened in New York City. (One work in the exhibit that stirred much controversy was "Nude Descending a Staircase (No. 2)," an abstract painting by French artist Marcel Duchamp.)

Baltimore Orioles pitcher Steve Bechler died of heatstroke at a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., hospital, less than 24 hours after complaining of dizziness during a spring training workout. An estimated 40 million viewers tuned in to the finale of Fox's reality show "Joe Millionaire," in which Evan Marriott chose Zora Andrich.
Five years ago: President George W. Bush rejected proposed Democratic changes to his prized AIDS relief program, issuing a challenge to Congress from Tanzania to "stop the squabbling" and renew it as is.

Ryan Newman snapped an 81-race winless streak, giving car owner Roger Penske his first Daytona 500 victory. The East beat the Western Conference 134-128 in the NBA All-Star Game.
One year ago: Congress voted to extend a Social Security payroll tax cut for 160 million workers and to renew unemployment benefits for millions more.

Thought for Today: "It is not hard to understand modern art. If it hangs on a wall it's a painting, and if you can walk around it it's a sculpture." -- Tom Stoppard, Czech-born British playwright (1937- ).
