Sources tell NY1 the city police officer who shot a National Guardsman to death on the Grand Central Parkway has been hit with departmental charges.
Detective Hassan Hamdy shot and killed Noel Polanco, 22, during a traffic stop in October 2012.
Hamdy said he opened fire because he thought Polanco was reaching for a gun.
No weapons were found in the car.
A grand jury cleared Hamdy of any wrongdoing, and federal prosecutors declined to file civil rights charges against him.
But now published reports say the NYPD has charged Hamdy with "failure to employ proper tactics that caused a civilian's death."
They also say a sergeant on the scene is charged with failing to supervise his team.
Polanco's family sued the city over his death and later settled for $2.5 million.

Samsung Galaxy S4 for Sprint gets updated with Knox and more
Last month, a software update rolled out to European Samsung Galaxy S4 handsets that added a few new features, although it didn't include Samsung's enterprise-focused security system, called Knox. That update has finally hit U.S. shores and is starting its rollout with the Sprint variant of Samsung's newest flagship device, and this time it is complete with Knox.
The Knox security suite has been delayed, which has frustrated some enterprise users who had wanted to start using their Galaxy S4s with their companies' BYOD programs, so this update should be good news in that respect. The other major addition in the update is one that Google has been trying to kill off for quite a while now: apps to SD. Galaxy S4 users will once again be able to move apps to their SD car, assuming the apps allow the option. The feature should help with the fact that Samsung's TouchWiz uses almost half of the internal storage of the 16GB S4, but it will still cause problems with apps that need to autostart or apps with widgets (which is why Google has killed the option in Jelly Bean after deprecating it for a while).
Additionally, the update adds a few smaller features like a Smart Pause toggle in the notification panel, a new setting to tweak text legibility, a briefing app, and an SPDclient app. Status bar transparency also now works with custom wallpapers.
According to the community at XDA, the update does also cause changes to the bootloader. There has been a Secure Boot Image added for use with Knox, but the bootloader itself still isn't locked and is still easily rooted.
The update is being pushed out OTA right now and clocks in at about a 376MB install.

Artist Arrested After 'I Heart NY' Light Installations Mistaken For Bombs
A New York-based artist was arrested and charged over the weekend after police mistook his latest art installations for bombs.
According to authorities, Takeshi Miyakawa was taken into police custody Saturday while he was in the middle of setting up one of the illuminated - and apparently controversial - installations in Brooklyn. The contraption, which appears to be lit-up plastic bags printed with the well-known "I Love NY" logo, were being installed for the upcoming NY Design Week, the artist said.
The NYPD, however, did not take well to the art, calling in the bomb squad earlier in the day to examine one of the suspicious devices on a street in Williamsburg after receiving a phone call from a concerned resident.
After two hours, police deemed the art not hazardous, but still decided to arrest Miyakawa on a charge of planting a false bomb or hazardous substance.
The Japanese-born artist remains jailed without bail. A judge has ordered him to be held for a month in order for a mental evaluation could be conducted. His lawyer, Deborah J Blum, characterized Miyakawa's arrest as a gross misunderstanding as evidenced by his many accomplishments in the field of design.Copyright © 2014, Sun Sentinel

Consultation Process: Interim Policies for Specific Disasters
The Stafford Act requires: "Before adopting any interim policy under the public assistance program to address specific conditions that relate to a major disaster or emergency that has been declared under this Act, the President, to the maximum extent practicable, shall solicit the views and recommendations of the grantees and subgrantees with respect to the major disaster or emergency concerning the potential interim policy, if the interim policy is likely
(A) to result in a significant reduction of assistance to applicants for the assistance with respect to the major disaster or emergency; or
(B) to change the terms of a written agreement to which the Federal Government is a party concerning the declaration of the major disaster or emergency"
In addition, although not required by the Stafford Act, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) may opt to solicit views and recommendations on interim policies that are not expected to result in a significant reduction of assistance to applicants.
An appropriate timetable for the sequence of steps will be established by the Federal Coordinating Officer (FCO) of the disaster to facilitate an inclusive but expeditious process for circulating the draft and soliciting views and recommendations.
FEMA coordinates draft interim policy internally at regional and national levels.
FEMA national office approves the draft interim policy for distribution to the Grantee and potential subgrantees (tending to a more inclusive, than restricted, definition of potential subgrantees).
FEMA informally coordinates draft interim policy with the State Coordinating Officer (SCO) and works with the SCO to identify appropriate subgrantees from whom views and recommendations should be solicited.
FEMA advises national and local congressional offices (briefing as appropriate).
FEMA sets reasonable deadline for comments and provides the draft interim policy and instructions for commenting on it to the Grantee, keeping a record (name, organization, address, date) of to whom it was sent/given.
FEMA sets reasonable deadline for comments and provides the draft interim policy and instructions for commenting on it to the subgrantees, keeping a record (name, organization, address, date) of to whom it was sent/given.
Optional: FEMA will conduct briefings for affected subgrantees. If comments are accepted at the briefing, FEMA must record substance of comments and source (to the extent the provider is willing to be identified). Briefings may be conducted simultaneously in multiple locations.
FCO provides the FEMA Office of General Counsel (OGC) Docket Clerk and FEMA RR/IS a complete record of the interim policy including, at a minimum: draft interim policy, entities from whom views and recommendations were solicited, and comments received.
FEMA consolidates and considers views and recommendations received by the deadline. FCO, Regional Director and FEMA RR/IS coordinate final document.
Optional: FEMA conducts follow-up discussions as appropriate.
Executive Associate Director, RR, FEMA revises and signs interim policy for use during the declared disaster. FCO and Regional Director distribute the interim policy. FEMA RR/IS maintains file with signed final document.
Minor modifications to this process may be made for cause by the Director, Infrastructure Division, RR Directorate, FEMA.

The technology industry is, for better or worse, one of the last "critical industries" of industrialized nations that is not formally regulated by government. In the United States, you cannot practice law, medicine, and most variations of accounting without a proper license. Why is this beneficial? Many reasons, actually. It creates a fairly level playing field among those who wish to partake in these highly-skilled industries. It also generates trust between professionals and the public which enables incomes to stay high and the quality of work to be relatively similar. Is the above always true? No, and I won't claim this to be the case, but overall such a system works to keep the bad apples out and the excellent ones in (and thriving).
Seeing that information technology is now an industry which most any modern country could not live without and is generally considered a "highly skilled" profession, why is it generally disregarded by government? I can't answer this in any solid, succinct fashion, but the truth of the matter still stands. Our industry continues to grow in both skill and importance, yet it has no standardized baseline for what should be expected of the professionals like myself that make up the field.
What does the above have to do with IT certifications? A lot. As far as I am concerned, IT certifications fill that gap between what government has failed to regulate and what should be expected of modern day IT professionals. While a portion of IT knowledge workers believe there is no place for certifications for various reasons, I've got more than a few justifications for why I think certifications still matter and more importantly, why YOU should be leveraging them selectively to build a better, stronger technology business.
IT certifications build "technical perspective" in a person that is supportive of field experience in very important ways. For those that don't have any certifications, this is a tough concept to relate to. While it may be sufficient for yourself that most relevant knowledge was gained on the job, many newcomers into the industry have no baseline to judge their starting point from. "Try, try, and try again until you succeed" is a great motto to live by – but does it necessarily summarize how a new technician should approach their first tech job? A great example of an IT cert that online forum-goers love to dump on is the CompTIA A+ certification. And it's also not ironic how a majority of the heat comes from those with intermediate to heavy experience in the industry.
For many new techs, A+ (and it's sister certification, Network+) allows for someone to appropriately gauge their ability to take on tasks and solve problems that may be entirely foreign. I won't lie to the crowd and say that my A+ certification is highly relevant to my line of work today. But I will admit that when I was getting my start, it gave me a level of confidence to tackle problems that otherwise would have had to come from a purely task-based learning process.
Lower level certifications don't necessarily exemplify content mastery, but do show that a newcomer is willing to, and can be, trained. Many professionals I have spoken with on this topic agree that someone who passes the A+ test isn't an instant expert on the material or field of work they are entering (entry level tech support, for example). But if that candidate had the will power to learn the content well enough for a passing score, they are more than likely able to take direction and training from a higher up and "hone" their skills to real world applicable context. I've seen this to be the case amongst more than a few colleagues who started out with low level certs in their careers.
After attaining a trust in their own potential after passing the A+ or Network+ exams, they exponentially yearned for new knowledge and experience in their new-found field. This is both a win win for the potential employer and the technician alike. I know many readers on Technibble are business owners looking for some great young blood for their shops, and this is a great way to start a good relationship. I personally know of more than a few business owners who helped foster great budding technicians on staff by helping them pay for their exams if they got certified with passing scores.
Career commitment goes hand in hand with technical certification, especially as the specialization and difficulty rises. This point is very straightforward: why would you spend the time, money, and effort furthering yourself in an area that you have no core interest in for the long run? Of all the certifications I have taken so far, I have to say that my MCTS in Windows 7 and my certification as a Google Apps Trainer were the most mentally challenging in terms of content and time commitment.
But even those are considered intermediate exams in pale contrast to daunting exams like the CCNA or even the MCSE. If you think certifications are a laughing matter, just take a look at the pre-requisite list for becoming MCSE certified – a total of no less than 14 exams! The more grueling the exam and certification, the more likely someone is to be committed to their career path in information technology.
Certifications are excellent for boosting your personal or company image on marketing material or even for winning contracts/projects. You choose a great doctor because of their licenses & credentials, and the same goes for your lawyer, car mechanic, and financial advisor. And how do those individuals market themselves? More than likely, they are pointing out their credentials in print or online to merely get your consideration. I'm not saying any given certification is your ticket in the door, but it surely can be your boost to get to the finish line. And in many cases, for today's competitive economy, that could be the difference between too few and too many good leads.
I've been inching more and more into the cloud realm, specifically for the Google Apps product, and my two Google certifications as an Apps Trainer and Deployment Specialist have given my company FireLogic quite an edge. I won't publicly state how many direct leads I've gotten as a result of becoming certified in this new area, but I will say that it was well worth the time investment and I will happily be renewing them for years to come.
Learning on the job isn't always ideal or professional. This holds especially true for higher level, advanced certifications that cover content which is difficult to master without sufficient hands on experience. Is it appropriate to use a client's new Windows 2008 Server as the guinea pig for learning how to implement Active Directory properly? If you promoted yourself or your company as being an expert in Windows Server AD, this is even more unprofessional, and could end up costing you a great customer relationship if it goes poorly. I'm not going to say that certifications teach nearly all of the ins and outs of a given technical system by any means – but they give you the knowledge set to adequately approach a situation and make educated decisions from there. Don't let your lack of knowledge about a technology lead to a burned relationship. Remember, your customer is hiring you because YOU are the professional (and not just filling the shoes of one).
Are all IT certifications created equal? Do they all have the same return on investment when it comes to an increased ability to charge higher rates, land better leads, and hold an edge over your competition? Of course not. DICE Learning released results from a large survey of 17,000 IT Professionals in 2010 that asked which certifications personally gave them the best ROI. Which ones came out on top? Quite a few that I actually hold, including the A+, Network+, Security+, and MCP (now called the MCTS). Other top certs were the known big boys such as the MCSE, MCSA, and the Cisco CCNA. As the IT technician market becomes more and more crowded, you have to differentiate yourself somehow. Why not use the chance to make yourself outright shine?

EW Writer Shares Three-Act Philip Seymour Hoffman Memory
David Carr's circa 2008 thoughts about Philip Seymour Hoffman generated, deservedly, a lot of attention. Today comes another equally wonderful journalist-POV remembrance from Entertainment Weekly senior film writer Anthony Breznican.
The stakes here – beginning circa 2007 – are equally high, as reflected by the headline "The Night Philip Seymour Hoffman Changed My Life…". We're not going to spoil the details; you'll have to read Breznican's item to get the full brunt of this vivid trajectory.
To set the scene, the writer recalls that he and his wife Jill sat across from Hoffman for a restaurant dinner at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival promoting The Savages:
While the actor wasn't into talking about himself or movies, he loved talking about novels and stories: We discussed John Updike, Philip Roth and Richard Ford's The Sportswriter, and soon we were getting comfortable with each other. The conversation shifted to family. Hoffman and his longtime partner, Mimi O'Donnell, had a toddler son at the time — they would go on to have two more children — and my wife and I were then thinking about having children ourselves…

Live Pics from the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show
PM's car guys are scoping out the new cars and concepts at this week's Tokyo Motor Show. Here's the best sheet metal we found on the showroom floor.

Volkswagen Passat Alltrack
Sorry, kids, this isn't coming to the U.S., because the American Passat isn't on the same platform. This AWD Passat wagon rides taller but gets the fuel economy advantages of two different diesels and has multiple off-road modes for the transmission. But given that the Passat Alltrack would retail well above $40,000 in the States, VW figures we're fine with our Tiguans and Touaregs for driving in the dirt. The rest of the world will get the Alltrack in 2012.

If you want to pre-order this game, but want to wait and see if a better deal comes along, then enter the amount you'd like to pay and your email address, and if a retailer drops down to that price, we'll email you to let you know. Be realistic in any price you enter - you might see prices fluctuate, but you're unlikely to see £20 come off a pre-order price! This system allows you to set a ceiling of the price you want to pay though, and ensures you don't miss out.

$14,220? Oh is that all? Great!
From what I understood looking at everything made for cinema, they're pretending to sell everything at 10-50 times more their price just because they think every person working for cinema is freaking rich.
Just think: how much would ever cost to produce such lenses? Think also at the other Canon Cinema Zoom Lenses with astronomical pricing, think at the bolts and knobs (which are just plain stupid pieces of metal) made by RED as accessories for their rigs, they're as expensive as if they were made out of solid gold...well they aren't!
At this point I really wonder how do these lenses compare with the new Samyang T1.5 35mm AS UMC, Samyang T1.5 24mm ED AS IF UMC, and Samyang T3.1 14mm ED AS IF UMC which cost a fraction of that price (about $400-500), and we all know how spectacular is both the build and optical quality of Samyang lenses.

Market Preview: Hating the Rally
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- One of the anomalies of the strong overall performance of stocks in 2012 has been skepticism seen in fund flows.
Consider this: even as the S&P 500 reclaimed 1400 last week, putting an exclamation point on the surge in equities since early June, the news came down that investors yanked a whopping $5.68 billion out of mutual funds investing in U.S. stocks during the week ended Aug. 1, according to the Investment Company Institute.
The outflow was the fourth in the past five weeks, bringing the total over that stretch to $12.44 billion vs. a paltry inflow of $95 million during the week ended July 18. Over the same five-week period, mutual funds investing in bonds saw total inflows of $25.02 billion. Year-to-date, U.S. stock funds have seen an exodus of more than $60 billion.
Brian Belski, chief investment strategist at BMO Capital Markets, weighed in on the situation early Monday, calling the latest melt-up in stocks "one of the most loathed market rallies in our collective careers" and saying investors may ultimately rue being so cautious."With near zero interest rates we believe investors are unknowingly putting their portfolios at risk under the façade of capital preservation," he wrote. "As a result, we would urge investors to take a more disciplined investment approach and recognize that certain historical and fundamental trends appear to favor stocks over bonds from a longer-term risk/reward perspective." Dividend payers, of course, have been among the strongest equity performers for the past few years as the market has recovered from the financial crisis, but Belski thinks they deserve even more love now, given how little bonds are giving back these days. "While most acknowledge that stocks yield more than bonds for only the second time since the 1950s, few fully appreciate the investment implications," he said. "For instance, while receiving minimal interest payments on their bond investments, investors are also significantly impacting their purchasing power since current bond yields are below longer-term inflation expectations. On the other hand, stocks have proven to be a reliable longer-term inflation hedge. In terms of relative performance, current bond prices in relation to stocks remain abnormally high from a historical perspective, levels which have traditionally been a precursor for significant stock outperformance."

I am.
I have fallen short of even my lowest expectations for blogging these last ten days, but I am home, safe and sound and attempting today to remember exactly what it is I do around here.
Thank you so much for your insightful comments following my only post on the road. It was a bit of a downer — sorry about that. Not at all what I imagined sharing. I so appreciate those that spent time responding and am reminded once again of the supportive community blogs have fostered for us!
So this morning, I got up at 4:00 am, tired of tossing and turning and having freaky lion dreams (more on that later.) I was hoping I could get a head start on the week ahead and found myself sort of putzing around, putting things away and sorting through piles and trying to make a list. It did feel really good to reclaim the early morning, but I did the strangest things. I cleaned out the silverware drawer, wiped down the inside of my fridge and shuffled things around in the pantry, while my suitcase lay open on the living room floor — go figure? Anyway, I'll get it together. I have to, as we have a memorable week head, starting with Trey's birthday. He is 10 today …
I would like to make him a special breakfast, but I need to go grocery shopping in the worst way. I purchased b-day invites before I left, Jenna sent them out and so we do have a party this Saturday that needs to be planned. In the meantime, I feel like I purchased a gift or two back in August, but there is nothing in my usual hiding place (hmmm.) I've got to deliver something to his classroom and whip up some sort of family celebration for this evening. All of that aside, look at him! He is adorable and I cannot believe how grown up he looked when I got home — even ten days away and I'm struck with the change and growth in my children.
The other big event … Jenna's wedding, this Friday! Addie will be the flower girl and we've got a few preparations left for that — it is Jenna's last day today, so I'm thinking "lunch" is in order.
I've got to check in with my Have More FUN class — I've so missed my daily interaction there. I've been working on our final project while traveling and am most anxious to see what I've missed on the message boards and gallery.
And, there are several "projects" just around the corner … excited to reimmerse myself in those and hoping to find my fall groove and some serious productivity now that kids are back in school.
South Africa was simply amazing and I will share highlights very soon — I already miss the other teachers and travelers. It's amazing how you bond with people on this kind of life-altering trip.
Happy Monday.

Lenses / Re: The New Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM Pancake« on: September 11, 2014, 07:03:27 PM »
Just curious... what brand has a pancake 22 f/2 in a DSLR form factor that you're trying to compare it to?Beyond the Canon EF-M 22mm F2 (does not work on 70D), there is APS-C lens Nikon 35mm F1.8 and Sigma 30mm F1.4 also.
Why not EF-S 22mm F2 ?
Nikon's 35 f/1.8 and Sigma's 30 f/1.4 aren't pancakes. The geometry (flange distance) for the M is different, so the focal length for a pancake is different as well.
You can't reason with these folks, it seems. They want everything. Small, fast, cheap, IS, with intelligent composition mode. I'm very close to just abandoning the time I waste on photography forums.

The Alabama Republican Assembly endorsed Ron Paul at their state convention today in Birmingham.
The endorsement required a 2/3rd majority of registered delegates. Ron Paul received the 2/3rd on the first ballot. Mike Huckabee came in second. Convention chair Elaine Little noted that, with the crowded field, it was unusual that an endorsement would be won on the first ballot.
The group also held a straw poll that was open to the public. The winner of the straw poll was Ron Paul, with 81%.
"Ron Paul's grassroots support is second to none among all other Republican campaigns this cycle," stated attorney Tom Davis, Vice President of the ALRA and delegate to the endorsing convention. "The results of our straw poll parallel the results in most straw polls throughout the country. Ron Paul has clearly excited many new people and energized them to get involved in the political process. The Republican Party should be grateful for all the 'new blood' coming in as a result of Congressman Paul's message of freedom and returning to the Constitution."
The Alabama Republican Assembly is a grass-roots volunteer organization chartered by the National Federation of Republican Assemblies. Ronald Reagan referred to the NFRA as "the conscience if the Republican Party."

The Bloodhound project is coming to the Science Festival's Family Day. Bloodhound itself will be a rocket-powered car capable of travelling at an incredible 1000 mph on land.
A 1/10th size replica will be on display at the Family Day at the King Street Halls in Kirkwall. It will be brought to Orkney by two of the Bloodhound Ambassadors, John Blacklock and Yetunde Adediran.
At the Family Day there will also be an opportunity to assemble kits and build balloon-powered models of the car – and race them.

MITC reacts to London Mayor bendy bus jibe
The Ministry for Infrastructure, Technology and Communications has reacted to humour by London Mayor, Boris Johnson, with regards to bendy buses during a speech at the British Conservative Party conference.
The mayor's remarks also made it to the comment boxes and facebook pages of prominent Labour spokesmen here in Malta.
"Quite apart from the fact that this must be the first time in living memory that the MLP has found anything useful to repeat from the British Conservatives, we assure Mayor Johnston that passengers in Malta appreciate the comfort and the sheer capacity of articulated buses as they comfortably carry in a single bus journey what used to take 3 to 4 buses before," the Ministry said.
"By our mathematics that is considerably less congestion, rather than more. Mayor Johnson's mathematics will have to work out the considerably higher expense for bespoke buses that London tax-payers have to pay for to replace the transferred bendy buses.
One need hardly point out that even if removed from London streets; articulated buses are hardly an exclusive feature of Maltese roads. They operate in just about every other city in Europe with high bus passenger numbers," the Ministry said.

Publishers Orient Blackswan (OBS), recently received a notice from Dinanath Batra, the convener of Shiksha Bachao Andolan Samiti (SBAS), for the textbook, Plassey to Partition: A History of Modern India by Sekhar Bandopadhyay, a history professor at the Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, was defamatory and derogatory to the RSS.
Salman Rushdie spoke on India: Religious Freedom and Personal Safety on April 28, 2014 at the 2014 PEN World Voices Festival.
When news first broke of Shiksha Bachao Andolan Samiti (SBAS) also targeting Wendy Doniger's On Hinduism published by the Aleph Book Company, after its success with getting Penguin Books India to withdraw her The Hindus: An Alternative History, Atul Kothari, co-convenor of SBAS, was quoted by The Sunday Express as saying, "We have been given an oral assurance by the publishers that the sales of the book will be stalled. The publishers have been given a week's time to provide an assurance in writing, failing which, SBAS would move the judiciary." He had said that they would wait for a written assurance for a week, failing which the Samiti may take its next "democratic step" to ensure the book is withdrawn.
For those who came in late:
Today's Developments
The legal notice sent by Dina Nath Batra to Wendy Doniger, Penguin Group (USA) Inc. and Penguin Books India Pvt. Ltd:
Read from Outlook archives:
This is not a case of a ban, or censorship or overt or covert governmental or judicial censorship, this is a case instead of moral policing and an abject surrender by Penguin India, in abdication of their responsibility to stand by their author and fight the legal battle.
Finally, 15 years after the literary feud between Salman Rushdie and John Le Carré erupted in the letters pages of the Guardian in 1997, the latter has told the London Times "that their mutual loathing has finally come to an end."
Back in 1997, Rushdie had accused Le Carré of promoting censorship and had gone on to characterise him as a "dunce" and a " pompous ass.'' Christopher Hitchens too had jumped in the exchange and said that Mr Le Carré 's conduct reminded him " that of a man who, having relieved himself in his own hat, makes haste to clamp the brimming chapeau on his head."
"Two rabid ayatollahs could not have done a better job. But will the friendship last?" Mr Le Carré had countered, pointing out that he was more concerned about saving lives than about Mr Rushdie's royalties, and that Mr Rushdie was ''self-canonizing'' and ''arrogant.''
Mr Rushdie was allowed the last word by the newspaper, and had gone on to say about Mr Le Carré: It's true I did call him a pompous ass, which I thought pretty mild in the circumstances. "Ignorant" and "semi-literate" are dunces' caps he has skilfully fitted on his own head.

And the Three Nominees Are… Dylan Howard
When the 55th annual LA Press Club SoCal Journalism Awards are handed out Sunday June 23 at the Biltmore Hotel, please forgive Radar Online's Dylan Howard for any awkward facial expression as the finalists for category H9 are read aloud. There are a total of three for this Online bracket and all are named Dylan Howard.
The former Celebuzz editor-in-chief has moved on from his Hollywood digs to a return-job with AMI in New York. In his wake is one of the craziest latest examples of the problems caused by the LA Press Club's paid-entry award finalist process:
* Dylan Howard, Celebuzz, "Caught On Tape: Chevy Chase Rips His Own TV Sitcom"
* Dylan Howard, Celebuzz, "Exposed: Hollywood's Clandestine Poker Ring"

One thing I forgot was hopscotch, I had seen where someone made their kid one out of a piece of heavy fabric and paint- I thought I could use tape on a yoga mat to make one that would stay put. My mil also has one of those moon bounce balls that has the handle on the front, I have been considering getting one of those, wasn't sure if it was good for indoors though.
I signed her up for a gymnastics class, her first day is this week. I hope some of the stuff she learns she could do inside, tumbling and stuff.
thanks everyone!View Thread
I am hoping that she will just hold this weight and grow more!View Thread
I am so proud of her anyway, but she really made me smile the other day. My sister ordered a dessert to share, and my dd said "No thank you, I don't want the treat, I want to go home."
I never in a million years would of thought I would raise a child that would turn down dessert. Of course, yesterday she was asking for all kinds of junk for a night snack, and we had to have the "sweets don't help you grow strong" conversation lol.View Thread
I am going to rethink the class for the winter, I am in Missouri and at times the weather can really interfere with activity.
I do think some kind of class or sport is important at some point. I played softball and volleyball and even though I was not competitive they really helped my self esteem. My father in law is a black belt in tae kwan do and I always thought that would be a great thing, since they teach respect and self awareness along with activity.
What scares me is kids that are in so many activites that they burn out, or don't know how to play on their own when they have a little free time.View Thread

Tips to Avoid Return Trip to the Hospital
TUESDAY, Feb. 19 (HealthDay News) -- More than 1 million Americans end up back in the hospital just weeks after they're discharged, and many of those readmissions are preventable, according to an expert from Columbia University School of Nursing in New York City.
Patients can do their part to avoid return trips to the hospital by simply paying attention and speaking up when it's time to go home, advised Mary Donovan-Johnson, program director of the Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Program.
"Discharges are often rushed and patients may be overwhelmed during this stressful time," Donovan-Johnson said in a Columbia news release. "If you don't understand something a medical provider said, don't be afraid to ask your doctor or nurse to repeat the instructions... Ask the person accompanying you home to listen and take notes when instructions are being explained by your medical team."
Other steps you can take to reduce the odds of readmission after discharge include:
Get all discharge instructions and information in writing, including directions for wound care, medications and food restrictions. Keep these instructions in a place where they are easily accessed.
After discharge, follow through on your treatment by filling prescriptions and taking medications as directed. If you have questions about your medications or other instructions, call your doctor.
Schedule follow-up visits with your doctor and blood tests or other procedures as directed, and keep those appointments.
"Ideally, the same team of doctors and nurses who worked with the patient would discharge them since they know the protocol in their medications, wound care, and how to set up the safest environment at home for them. But unfortunately, that doesn't always happen," Donovan-Johnson said. "So the patient needs to be vigilant about being an active participant in their recovery."

On first thought, the fact that we are family-owned may not mean much to you. But consider this: since we live and work here in the Eastern Community, your hard earned money goes directly to supporting families and businesses in our area. We use local vendors and support numerous non-profit organizations. From first generation owner Howard Eggleston's involvement in the development of Pearson Park, to fourth generation Dennis Pavley's involvement in the Oregonian Club, to fifth generation Matthew Pavley's involvement in the Oregon School Foundation, all of our directors and owners have supported numerous non profit activities in our community. And because we are family-owned, you are assured someone from our family will be available to assist you, regardless of the time you call.
While other funeral homes may have been operating in your community for years, and their names have not changed, some funeral homes have sold out to national and even international conglomerates. These funeral service conglomerates keep the original family name on their businesses because they know that at your greatest time of need you are more likely to turn to a local business you feel you can trust, than to a national chain you know nothing about.
These large corporations are publicly traded on the stock exchange, making them responsible to their stockholders and board of directors, not to you or our community. They often mislead consumers with low price advertising, yet their average total funeral cost is the same as locally owned funeral homes in the area. These firms generally operate with a minimal number of employees to increase profits, sometimes resulting in a situation in which the employees struggle to handle their assigned caseloads.
As your friends and neighbors our staff supports our shared community through
active involvement in many nonprofit organizations. Here are just a few:

the Bullmastiff good with children?
Most Bullmastiffs
are good with children if they are brought up with children and common sense is
used. Never forget that while not
an aggressive dog, the Bullmastiff is a protective dog. The Bullmastiff will want to protect your child, and if it
fears your child is in danger, may react. If
other children are over and are running, screaming and punching each other,
which children often do, the dog may not be able to distinguish whether those
actions are serious or not, and if it feels they are serious, may try to
interfere. The Bullmastiff should
never be left unsupervised with other children.
And the dominant puppy in a Bullmastiff litter should never be placed in
a home with children.
big will my Bullmastiff get?
There is a
"standard" written for the Bullmastiff which describes the physical and
mental attributes of the breed to be followed.
The size of a Bullmastiff at maturity is solely determined by genetics.
A knowledgeable breeder can give you an idea of
puppy's ultimate size, but can often be fooled.
Feeding a dog more in the hopes of making him bigger will only harm the
dog as it will put unnecessary strain on its rapidly growing bones and joints. (You wouldn't do that to a child, would you?).
As this is a breed that is prone to Hip Dysplasia, it is most important
that the Bullmastiff be kept lean as a puppy.
The dog will reach its ultimate size sooner or later, it is better that
is later.
active is the Bullmastiff? Can I
take it for a run or jog?
The Bullmastiff is
a relatively inactive dog indoors, although it does require some exercise so
that it does not get fat. Unlike
dogs that were meant to run and hunt all day, which requires a lot of stamina,
the Bullmastiff was not. Therefore,
it is not a good idea to run or jog with a Bullmastiff, they have neither the
build or the stamina for it (you never see body builders in long distance races,
do you?) unless they are conditioned for it.
The activity level of the Bullmastiff will vary depending on the breeder,
so consult your breeder prior to purchase.
does the Bullmastiff react to the heat and cold?
The Bullmastiff is
basically an indoor dog. It does
not do well in either extremes of weather.
While it does enjoy the snow, it does not get a heavy coat, and in frigid
weather, should only be let outdoors for short periods of time.
Extreme care should be taken in warm climates or when the weather is hot.
Like its relative the Bulldog, the Bullmastiff does not fare well in the
heat. In the summers months, only
exercise your Bullmastiff in the cool parts of the day, early morning and after
the sun has set. Be extremely
careful in the warm weather. Also,
remember the Bullmastiff was bred to be with man.
He does not like to be outside by himself (often even with other dog
companions). He will use his head
and large chest to walk through all types of fencing.
Bullmastiffs left outside while their owners are away are likely to get
into trouble or be gone when the owner returns having searched out other human
Bullmastiffs get along well with other dogs?
As a general rule,
mature males do not get along with other males of any large working breed.
Occasionally, females will not tolerate other females.
If you are planning on purchasing two Bullmastiffs, the best combination
is one of each sex. Although there
are exceptions, I would never recommend having two Bullmastiffs of the same sex. Also, remember that if you or your Bullmastiff is challenged
or threatened during your walks, he will not back down and will usually finish
the fight. Keep an alert eye and
keep your Bullmastiff out of trouble. Letting
a Bullmastiff run loose with other dogs will usually lead to trouble.
Be careful.
should I look for in a breeder?

Have a look at SSL Certificates SSL Wildcard SSL Free Certificates SSL Server Certificate 256 bits - they do free certs for education.
I've used them twice now... does the job!
Does anyone have a recommendation for a SSL Cert provider (at a reasonable cost!)
Thanks in advance
Have a look at SSL Certificates SSL Wildcard SSL Free Certificates SSL Server Certificate 256 bits - they do free certs for education.
I've used them twice now... does the job!
Ditto to the above - used ipsCA on several servers now. Not sure wether or not the issue of their Root Certificate has been resolved with Firefox yet, but it is free for education.
using the one above as well
free .. firefox still not sorted though
we use Buy GeoTrust® and VeriSign® SSL Certificates At Cheaper Prices. RapidSSL® From £14.60 - Free Trial Available (UK) for RapidSSL. Works on FF and IE, although you have to make sure you import the cross root cert and intermediate cert from their help pages for it to work in firefox
Because of the need for intermediate certificates, the free service wouldn't work with my SSLVPN. But it's nice of them to offer.
chazzy2501 (11th May 2011)
Go Daddy do mine I use at work I've got a couple of single SSLs and a multi-named one for Exchange and its been great
+1 for Start SSL - fantastic set of tools, free and it's built in certificates work on all major phones and browsers.
cacert is another, but the root ca is not installed within major browsers so the end user has to install the cert before it will work properly. I would personaly go with Start SSL...
Last edited by Freedom; 11th May 2011 at 12:09 PM.
I'll second ipsCA, very good and FREE!
It will be down to what you actually need to with your certificate as the free/very low costs certificate may not fit your requirement.
ipsCA does have issues with firefox and you are only able to secure a domainin, it can't be used for example as a client authentication certificate.
What are you looking to secure?
We have three servers in mind :-- Email (Exchange), Vle (Moodle) and a Access24 Solution (based on VMware)
StartSSL looks the favourite, thanks for the contributions

Hello! I'm Parker and I create resources for a company called DYM. I'm by far the best looking guy on the team.
I've been wielding Photoshop and Illustrator since I was nothing more than a wee lad. I love typography and minimalistic design. I'll typically design the majority of my stuff in Illustrator and bring it over to Photoshop for all the textures and effects.
I start with a concept, map it out, shoot, edit, and add special effects. My primary style is humor, but I can knock out a serious tear-jerker from time to time. I shoot with a Canon 7D, edit with Final Cut Pro 7, and create special effects in After Effects CS6.
I'm fluent in ActionScript 3 and have developed many custom, large-crowd, stage games for the Mac and PC. I've recently moved into the iOS platform, developing for the iPad and iPhone. Everything is coded and compiled in Flash CS6.
