WASHINGTON, January 9, 2014 – The Washington Times Communities erroneously reported that Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander was registered as a "hard democrat" in a 2012 Tennessee primary based on a document provided by a third-party data aggregator.
Washington Times Communities has not been able to independently verify the document.
Both Mr. Alexander and Tennessee election officials say their records show that he has only voted as a registered Republican, including in 2012.

The Malawi Mountain Project
————— a difficult terrain, a resilient people —————
In July 2007, Water Wells For Africa inspected the remote Lulwe Mountains of Malawi. However, it would take years before we could formulate a plan of action. Emboldened by the fortitude of those we met we immediately began to seek funding to put in 5 water wells in the summer of 2010.
————— well worth the effort —————
In July 2011, the WWFA inspection tour visited the Lulwe Mountains in Southern Malawi where we had recently constructed 5 new wells. This project was difficult because of the remoteness of the location and fuel shortages that Malawi is facing. The success of this project is the region's first clean water ever, which makes it all the more joyful.

Play your bar's drink market with the Unstabilizer
Bringing all of the fun of playing the stock market to the bar scene, the "Unstabalizer" is a piece of software that changes drink prices based on the current market. As people buy certain drinks the prices go up, and that drags down the prices of other drinks that aren't being bought as much. Therefore if you really want to get yourself a Newcastle but they've been really popular tonight, you may want to convince your friends to buy a lot of Rolling Rocks to lower the Newcastle price so it's more within your range. Seems to us this system would work well only in a large, busy bar with multiple bartenders… your local dive with Joe behind the bar and a few scattered patrons probably wouldn't have the most dynamic drink market around. But for a hectic club, just imagine the possibilities: "Martinis are down 10 points! I'm getting a dozen before they're hot again — who's with me?" … "I put all my beer money in Heineken; now I can't give these mugs away." … "No, I don't want to hear about vodka futures — just give me a shot already!"

Vanuatu – Chief's Son Spreads Gospel by APNYI Admin
The Church of the Nazarene in the South Pacific has been working on the South Island of Vanuatu in a place called Aniwa. One of the main chiefs in this area welcomed the Church of the Nazarene and gave permission for a church building to be constructed.
In unfortunate circumstances, the chief passed away after a heart attack last year. However, his twin sons Kiethly and Osten Rena hope to carry on his vision of building a new Nazarene church on this island.
Osten is the presently the Nazarene Youth International president at the Fress Wota Church of the Nazarene. Kiethly is attending classes at the South Pacific Nazarene Theological College (SPNTC) in Fiji. He has a strong desire to become a pastor and fulfill his father's dream. To do this, he recently went to the Island of Aniwa and began a church. He held his first Sunday service with 10-12 Sunday School kids. His second Sunday greeted eight adults and on the third Sunday, he had six people attended the service with him.
Kiethly started cutting posts for the building and gathering youth to help carry the posts to the village. Soon they will carry all the things needed for the new building to the building site.
Paul, a young SPNTC student and friend of Kiethly's, will soon be joining him in building this church.
Sunday night, February 24, a Nazarene Missions International sending service was held in Port Vila, Vanuatu. Four pastors and many family members surrounded him as they prayed and entrusted him to the Lord's care and protection.
A generous offering of $70 (U.S.) was given to Paul to help with his needs and expenses.
On his way to Aniwa, Paul took his first airplane trip ever. Funds for this flight were graciously provided by the Coshocton First Church of the Nazarene in Ohio.
Upon arrival on the island, Paul plans to help Kiethly complete the church building, encourage him, and help pastor the church.
According to the South Pacific and Melanesia newsletter "Shore to Shore,†"The church is located in an area of a very active cargo cult named John Frum. This group is fascinating to study, but very difficult to evangelize. As a group they have almost no understanding about Jesus and the Bible. Many people from this area have never even heard a single Bible story.
"Remember to pray for Paul, Kiethly, and the people of Aniwa. It is beautiful to see the body of Christ working together, each member doing his part in shining the light of Christ on this part of the world. Let's do ours.â€

Need help. How do I sound the politest way possible? - page 2

- 0Mar 6, '13 by uRNmywayOk, I need to ask this, because I keep seeing this come up on here.
To the new grads: How many patients were you assigned in clinicals by the time you graduated? Seems to me like nursing schools in the US are not really preparing their students for the realities of a full patient load. I might be completely off, and if I am, I apologize. It just seems like over and over, we get threads on here about new grads freaking out about their pretty normal patient loads.
- 0Mar 6, '13 by KdreneeWhere I worked as a PCA, they did orientation for new grad nurses for 12 weeks! The first week was general hospital information orientation and the last week was computer charting information. The weeks in between we're on floor orientation with a preceptor. Then they have the nurse 1-2 patients to care for and gradually gave them more. There was a nurse there who only had 4 patients on her own and she had been working there 6 months. This was a med/surg unit.
- 0Mar 6, '13 by lucyloo1Ive noticed that too. Where are you from? When I was in school ( many yrs ago) it was nothing to have 30-35 residents in LTC and in the hospital we usually had 2 maybe 3 but we were told that would drastically increase once we were actually nurses out in the field. (as students they wont load you up because thats just it..your a student! Liability!) I guess it depends on your instructors...ours were very up front and gave us the info we needed to mentally prepare ourselves once we were on our own. Maybe new grads were prepared but once out here in the real world of nursing is just initially overwhelming! Who knows.
- 0Apr 21, '13 by TracyDicksonJust say you are feeling nervous and let them know you appreciate any advice/help they can offer. Don't try to negotiate patient numbers. That doesn't come off well.

What: Trial for Two Peaks Defenders
8:30 AM and 1:15 PM
Where: At Flagstaff Justice Court
200 N. San Francisco St.
Flagstaff, AZ 86001
The protests occurred on August 8th and & August 13th, 2011.
Mr. Preston states, "the August 8th direct action blockade was an incredible event to witness. I was amazed to see our police forces mobilized in greater numbers than one would expect in a manhunt for an escaped murderer. We really should expect better behavior from the police in situations of civil disobedience.""August 13th is a day I will never forget. I lost a lot of faith in our local law enforcement that day. I have every right to speak out against the illegal and dangerous actions of Arizona Snowbowl and the US Forest Service. It really makes me wonder who the police are protecting. It certainly was not me or my first amendment." Stated Mr. Preston.
Nearly 30 arrests have been made during protests since Snowbowl started furthering desecration and eco-cide on the Holy Peaks last year.

James Arthur
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 08-10-2012 - 12:12pm
We are finally home..James Arthur was born at 2:39PM on Wed. 8/8/12 at 7lbs 8 oz and 19.5 in.
I was suppose to be induced on Monday night, but go bumped until Wed 8/8/12. My induction was suppose to begin with cervadil Monday night, but by the time I got in I was 4-5cm, so they just broke my water at 11:30, got my epidural and hung out until 2:00 when I could feel pressure building. I did two practice pushes and was told to stop before he was born without the doctor to catch him. He was out in 3 contractions.
All is well so far. William is enamored with James for now other than when James cries and William leaves the room with his hands over his ears.
|Fri, 08-10-2012 - 1:09pm
Congratulations Elyse!!!!! Can't wait to see pictures!!!
BTW, too cute about William putting his hands over his ears. When we visited my family, my 5 yr old nephew really adored Anu, unless he was crying. Then he'd say "You need to take him somewhere. I don't like him when he cries"
|Fri, 08-10-2012 - 1:14pm
|Fri, 08-10-2012 - 1:42pm
Congrats, Elyse! It sounds like your birth went wonderfully and I'm glad that William is so in love with his little brother!
|Fri, 08-10-2012 - 2:02pm
Congratulations!!! I am so sorry you had to wait until Wednesday but it sounds like other then that your birth was fabulous!! I'm glad everything is going well with William and James (besides the cute crying reaction) and I can't wait to see a pic. Congrats again!
|Fri, 08-10-2012 - 2:07pm
A perfect, happy ending...or beginning.
|Fri, 08-10-2012 - 5:27pm
Congrats Elyse!! Another speedy delivery!! That's wonderful that you didn't have to be induced and everything went so smoothly.
Can't wait to see pics of the little prince! And LOL about William covering his ears. ;-)
|Fri, 08-10-2012 - 7:06pm
Welcome to the world, James!

i love MAC...but this color just doesn't work for me. i thought it was going to be a hot pink and give me that pinky flushed look. it's more like a dirty dark pink. not the bright vibrant color i'm looking for.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
The color is good, looks scary but it goes on heavenly. It looks incredible at night!!! It is ok in fall/winter, but I think during spring/summer it'll be better during the day. At night though it looks really good, and during all seasons. It's just a really nice pink and worth a look!!!
Update: I love this blush!!! I'm wearing it now at night and it looks amazing. I'm wearign dollymix, with teddy eyeliner, bronze and mystery eyeshadows applied lightly. And viva glam V lipstick amazing combo!!! TRY IT!!!!
this is my everyday blush since I got it! it's bright, but when you apply it evenly and not too heavily it look's great! it's just the right shade for me!
I really like this blush. Although it looks very scary, it's not. Just use a light hand and it will look gorgeous. It makes me look flushed, and I love it.
This is the first MAC powder blush that I purchased. It looks scary in the pan however once u put it on ur cheek it gives u the natural rosy flushed look. It is best applied light handedly and build up the color as u go. It is easy to blend and has a little bit of shimmer so It wont look unnatural on ur face. I believe that everyone could wear this blush as it is universally flattering on any skintones. I would repurchase :).
Dollymix is 1 of my fav. blushes, a must have in my palette. i love it, it gives my face a barbie look. Great when u want a really girly look, i think it'll look good on any skintone.
True pink blush. Looks extremely scary in the pan, but applies sheer, like a dream! One of my favourite pink blushes! (NC44 for reference)
More reviews by aprilpinkbeauty
This extremely hot pink blush looks scary in the pan when I received from an online order but is actually really nice on the skin. I put my brush in with a light hand (applies really nicely with the Sigma or MAC white angled blush brush) and I use a light hand. I don't like this so much on the apples of my cheeks but I use this mostly when I want to outline my cheekbones along the sides of my face. You don't need a lot of this product so a little goes a very long way. Makes me look very healthy and glowy. I love this and will definitely repurchase!
dollymix is by far my fav blush! the color is so pretty,and looks very nice on my very fair skin. there is quite a bit of it,and a little goes a long way.
I bought this a while back due to it being quite a raved about product, and I can see why!
It never fails to give me a healthy beautiful glow
It is a very vibrant deep pink, I can see it will last me forever
I like to apply this with a fan brush on days when I dont want to wear alot of make-up, it gives a beautiful splash of colour without leaving a heavy cakey fake residue
I would reccomend for all skin colours!

A Lifestyle-Based Co-Op: A Promising Model for Healthcare Financing
5 comments:
Great articulation of the AFE Co-Op, Brent.ReplyDelete
The 'live' social experiment is operationalizing the 'probiotic' approach to health care.
In the spirit of co-ops, I am on my way to Sacramento's local food co-op to pick up some materials to start making Kombucha.
I'm in the military, but civilian life looms around the corner for me. When that time comes, health care will again be a concern, and I can't think of anything that would fit into my lifestyle choices better, nor that would simply make more sense than, an AFE Co-Op as you describe it.
Let's make this a reality!
Thanks, Brian and Bryce!ReplyDelete
Grounding health in the lifestyle framework makes so much sense financially and physiologically, and I suspect we would create quite a vibrant--alive--community that lives each day passionately while supporting each other compassionately along the way.
Cheers to making this social experiment a reality. When we get there, we can celebrate by enjoying some of the Kombucha that Brian is about to learn how to make!
The AFE is 'probiotic' in many different ways.
AFE is "probiotic" indeed. I'm convinced that health "insurance" of this nature will be a reality in the not-too-distant future. Kudos to you, Brent, for blazing the trail.ReplyDelete
Thanks, Keith.ReplyDelete
Cheers to enjoying turkey and, at the same time, not being Taleb's 'turkey' on Thanksgiving Day!
Fingers crossed, at least. lol.

Definitions for carpe diem
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word carpe diem
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
car•pe di•emˈkɑr pɛ ˈdi ɛm; Eng. ˈkɑr pi ˈdaɪ əm, ˈkɑr peɪ ˈdi əm
Latin. seize the day; enjoy the present, without thought of the future.
Category: Foreign Term
carpe diem(Proverb)
seize the day, make the most of today, enjoy the present
Origin: From carpe diem
Carpe diem
Carpe diem is a phrase from a Latin poem by Quintus Horatius Flaccus, more widely known as Horace, that has become an aphorism. It is popularly translated as "seize the day". Carpe is the second-person singular present active imperative of the Latin verb carpō, which literally means "You pick, pluck, pluck off, cull, crop, gather, to eat food, to serve, to want", but Ovid used the word in the sense of, "enjoy, seize, use, make use of". It is related to the Greek verb καρπόομαι, καρπός=fruit of tree, of effort, etc. Diem refers to "day". Thus, a more accurate translation of "Carpe diem" would be "enjoy the day" or "pluck the day [as it is ripe]".

Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
My neighbor is claiming 2 easments on my 3/4 acre property. Only one was listed on the title report, but the other in perscriptive rights. He has 7 acres surrounding me on 3 sides, and threatens anyone who parks on either road. He has blocke my access to the rear of my house, where I used to park, and keep my wood. I have no where else to park, and can't afford the $5000 my lawyer wants to reopen probate. The title company has offered me $10,000 to release thier liability for not finding the easment, but won't cover me until it goes to court. Ther are many other issues, such as him stealing 2 water tanks off this property while it was in escrow, lying about how much my portion of the Forest Service water bill, and moving surveying property stakes. What do you suggest.
2 Answers from Attorneys
Are you in Trinity County, or Humboldt? I used to be a large landowner in both counties (Eureka Southern Railroad). You seem to be stuck in a huge and messy conflict with a neighbor that has decided for some reason to go to war with you. My first reaction was that you should look at your possibilities for moving, rather than litigating with this aggressive jerk.
If necessary, there may be ways to litigate, or even to negotiate, and come out ahead. It doesn't look as though you can afford the battle, which could be more expensive than these opening estimates or my guesstimate of cost to challenge the neighbor in court.
If you could provide me with more details, including but not limited to how long you have owned your property and how you acquired it, and some details about the neighbor, I might be able to give you some further insights.
There is no such thing as a prescriptive easement until a judge grants one in an action to quiet title to one. If the prescriptive easement was established by a prior lawsuit, then that judgment should have been recorded and your title company should have noticed it during the title search.
The party burdened by the easement still has the right to use the property, as long as it does not interfere with the rights of the easement holder.

Zvi Galil, the new John P. Imlay Jr. Dean of Computing at Georgia Tech, was on hand to introduce College of Computing Advisory Board member and Kaneva founder Chris Klaus at a lecture sponsored by the Computing Alumni Organization, July 15 in the Klaus Building.
Klaus' lecture, titled "The Future of Video Games and Their Growth in Georgia," touched on several aspects of modern gaming and media. He talked about trends in gaming and digital entertainment, such as the emerging "freemium" gaming model, in which users can initially play for free, with game and player upgrades available as a premium service. Klaus also discussed a move from the traditional "one to many" model of entertainment broadcasting to something more like "many to many."
"Ultimately I think this model is more human," he said. "In the past, yelling at your TV could only take you so far. Now you can go online and interact with other fans of shows like 'Lost' or 'CSI.'"
Kaneva is Klaus' entry into the 3D virtual gaming world, allowing users to meet, interact and even help create the game itself. Creating "art pieces" or "art assets" is an expensive component of game design, and Kaneva offsets this cost by allowing the users themselves to create them. Kaneva now has close to a million art assets, he said.
Galil, just two weeks into his tenure as College of Computing dean, said he was thrilled to be able to speak to the group of more than 100 alumni and students so soon into his new job.
"This will be the first of many [meetings with alumni] because if the College of Computing is going to get to where we all believe it should be—that is, among the Top 5 computing programs in the country—we will need you. We will need our alumni," Galil said. "You are not just former students; you are our partners."
The new dean went on to say that gaming, as an industry, is of critical importance to the College because it draws upon so many areas of computing research, from graphics and user interaction to software engineering, artificial intelligence to networks.
"Georgia Tech is well positioned not only to capitalize on the explosive growth of the video game industry," he said, "but to shape that growth through our research—and through our graduates."
In addition to sharing his thoughts on gaming trends, Klaus also advised any budding designers or entrepreneurs in the crowd about different types of investors to support startups, as well as key metrics for tracking performance that will impress and attract such investors. Finally, he talked specifically about reasons Georgia is becoming a more attractive business environment for digital startups, such as tax incentives offered by the state, as well as a wealth of local talent—such as many of the students and professionals sitting in the room.

Silhouette Lift is a patented self anchoring thread technology that permits a minimally invasive surgical approach for elevation and fixation of skin. Silhouette Lift is the FDA approved product for elevation and fixation of midface, brow and neck.
Silhouette Lift is made from polypropylene, a material that has been used inside the human body as a suture material for decades. Silhouette Lift is designed with patented dimensional cones that attach to the subdermal tissue, lifting, suspending and fixating contour of the brow, midface and neck areas.
The Silhouette Lift is a minimally invasive office procedure performed under local anesthetic that is designed to elevate, reposition and lift lax skin of the brow, face and neck. The Silhouette Lift works by having these fine threads inserted painlessly under the skin. These fine threads are similar to those that would be used to support the deep structures of your face if you were to receive a real surgical facelift.
Using local anesthetic, the threads are passed into the droopy facial element with a special guide needle. The threads are then able to grab on to the droopy soft-tissue and muscle of the desired area. Most patients experience minimal bruising or swelling for 1-7 days. The Silhouette Lift is not painful and most patients can return to normal activities with makeup the next day. The threads stay where they are inserted and, like all internal sutures, are generally well tolerated by the body.
The Silhouette Lift shows immediate effects. Patients can achieve 30-70% of what an invasive facelift may achieve and well over 90% of Silhouette Lift patients report very satisfying lift results. The Silhouette Lift lasts 3-5 years and can be repeated. Many Silhouette Lift patients may combine the skin tightening effects of the Silhouette Lift with other procedure. Patients may choose to re-suspend tissue with this technique in several years or go on to more traditional forms of plastic surgery.
A Silhouette Lift with patented Silhouette Lift is a minimally invasive, safe and effective non-surgical procedure that offers that offers subtle, natural-looking facelift-like results.
A Silhouette Lift utilizes tiny surgical sutures to lift and support the droopy areas of the brow, cheeks, face and neck. Silhouette Lift has tiny, teeth-like (barb-like) cogs that will grasp on to and lift the soft tissues. The threads are inserted in precise locations using a long needle, and once inserted under the skin, they open in an umbrella like fashion to form a support structure that gently lifts and repositions the tissues into a more vertical and youthful position. With the lift effect secured, the needle is removed, the end of the thread is cut and knotted, allowing it to retract deep under the skin where it cannot be felt or seen. The non-absorbable threads stay within the deep tissues and provide support.
Unlike conventional sutures which are smooth, patented Silhouette Lift has tiny teeth-like cones or cogs that are spaced evenly apart. Once inserted under the skin, they are fixated with tension that creates a suspension effect that gently lifts sagging tissues.
Unlike other thread products, Silhouette Lift is clear so they are not visible under fair or thin skin.
Due to the unique design of the cogs of Silhouette Lift, the surrounding tissues act to hold the threads in place without the need for visible scars. The physician makes a tiny incision behind the hairline and the threads are advanced along the previously marked contours so they create a firm hold on the underlying tissues without causing additional trauma. The cogs do the work of holding, by being fixated to tissue as they are softly contoured into place. Once in position, your body generates new collagen bundles that surround each thread to maintain the lifting effect.
Pain and discomfort are very minimal with this technique and most patients can take only Tylenol for pain relief. In most cases, ice compresses are recommended for the first 24-48 hours.
When performed by a certified physician with experience, the procedure is very safe. The risks and complications are uncommon and usually easily correctable. The actual sutures are made from polypropylene, which is a material that has been used in brain, heart and abdominal surgery for many years. Since a Silhouette Lift is performed under local anesthesia, there are none of the risks associated with general anesthesia.
Following a Silhouette Lift procedure, there are some practical instructions and care that must be followed to avoid traumatizing or dislodging the threads from their supportive locations in the deep fat of the face and neck. Some of these instructions include avoidance of forceful facial rubbing or trauma, sleeping on your back, minimal facial animations, putting pressure on the face, and avoidance of excessive mouth opening. After 3 weeks, there are no more restrictions.
Depending upon your job and your tolerance for some minor bruising and swelling, you may be able to return to work in 2-3 days following the procedure. Most patients look good in makeup after one week.
Usually only one procedure is needed to achieve the desired lifting effect.
Physicians' experiences have shown that duration varies, depending on the age of the patient at the time of the procedure, the degree of sagging, and the number of threads used.
The Silhouette Lift is a simple procedure to perform. Complications are rare and will be less likely with an experienced, fully trained surgeon.
The Silhouette Lift is a stand alone procedure. However, it is not uncommon to have this procedure combined with botulinum toxin (Botox) to reduce facial muscle activity, dermal fillers to enhance volume, or peels and laser therapy to improve skin texture. Liposuction of the neck and jowls, and chin augmentation, are some of the other procedures that can be done in conjunction with a Silhouette Lift procedure.
Silhouette Lift is non-absorbable, and it will not dissolve over time.
Silhouette Lift is used for:
The effects are immediate. During the time of your consultation, Dr. Yadegar will demonstrate in the mirror, the relative amount of lift that the Silhouette Lift can achieve. The procedure can also be combined with other techniques including blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), fat transfer, dermal fillers, botulinum toxin (Botox), and liposuction of the neck.
In most cases, only local anesthesia is required. Your physician may also offer you the option of having light sedation or twilight anesthesia, depending on the extent of the Silhouette Lift you are having and the number of Silhouette Lift to be used in one stage. General anesthesia is not necessary for this technique.
The Silhouette Lift is most commonly performed under local anesthesia and the procedure usually takes less than 30 to 60 minutes to complete, depending on the number of threads used. Patients are able to go home soon after the procedure.
Many physicians offer non-invasive outpatient treatments that enhance or protect the effect. These adjunctive procedures include botulinum toxin (Botox), dermal fillers, laser and light therapy, chemical peels and microdermabrasion.
Developed by a board certified plastic surgeon, the unique design of Silhouette Lift allows a traditional facelift or browlift procedure when you are ready.
The exact placement of the threads will vary from patient to patient. Results will vary depending on the extent of sagging and the degree of lifting desired, as well as the technique of the physician and the number of threads used in each area treated. Many patients can achieve a 50% improvement after one treatment session.
In general, the best candidates for a Silhouette Lift include both women and men who want a more dramatic and long lasting effect than fillers and botulinum toxin or other treatments can provide, but do not want a full face lift or brow lift procedure.
Ideal candidates are women and men in the thirties through the sixties with moderate drooping of the soft tissues of the brow, face and neck. Patients must have realistic expectations. They should not be too heavy or too thin, and should be medically well and not be taking blood thinning medication.
Please note that this description of the surgical procedures available at Body Cosmetics is offered as general information only. Every patient is an individual and has different surgical needs and outcomes based on their desired expectations and prescribed treatments. Only after a personal consultation can Dr. Yadegar advise what is the proper treatment for YOU.

Montgomery Snow: 1.28.2014
Resolutions: 2014!
i actually made this list up the first week of January, but have been so lazy about blogging about it that, well… here we are. so here we go, my 2014 resolutions!
Facebook & Reviews
if you've spent any amount of time around me on any number of social media outlets (or heck, even real life), you know how much Facebook makes me tear my hair out as someone who helps to run a small business. in the early days of Facebook Page management, many (if not most) of the functionality available to regular users were available to Facebook Pages. consider it sort of the wild west: nearly anything was up for grabs. then Facebook started clamping down hard on Page managers, and those that followed the rules Facebook set forth tended to feel the brunt of it. namely: those of us who created a proper Page and didn't just create a Facebook profile for our business were left out in the cold as Facebook stripped away certain bits of usability while allowing those who brazenly flouted the rules to continue on their merry way.
so there's that in a nutshell. incredibly, there's a new function available on Facebook Pages that's causing a whole load of new gray hairs to sprout up, and as far as i can tell, there's nothing the powers-that-be plan on doing to fix it. simply put, Facebook's review & starring system is a pile of toxic, hazardous, easily abused dumpster fire.
here's how this works. each Facebook Page, if they have their address in place and allow for a map of their business to appear on their Page, has the capability to show Facebook-user reviews and star ratings. those are the requirements (and yes, you have to have the map function turned on). in a perfect world, this would work fantastically well. folks (myself included) are quick to give a review of something they just ate/saw/did/visited if all it takes is a simple tap, be it a Like or a star rating. and the ubiquitousness of Facebook, now having its very own self-sustaining ecosystem, means that in order to leave a written review, you don't have to create a new account. you're already on the Page, why not leave a quick, "love it!" or "fantastic work!"? easy enough. except…
except there are absolutely zero checks in place. that ubiquitousness means that anyone can leave a review or a rating. anyone. even if they've never used your business or service, even if they live half a world away, even if they have no reason ever what so all to pay you any attention, they can leave a rating. and this can go a couple of ways.
say you have a brand new Page on Facebook and you really want to start to ramp up the good word of mouth and all that. good ratings equal traffic, right? people trust a star review. because Facebook does not care who leaves a starred review, you could conceivably have everyone in your friend list leave a 5-star review on your Page, artificially boosting your ratings. for the even more helpful friends, you could have them leave quick reviews on your Page, inflating an even greater sense of trustworthiness! all without ever really doing anything worthy of that goodwill.
on the flip side, let's say you have that same Page, and for some reason, a customer feels as if they were slighted somehow. the ease by which a customer can tap that single star rating and never think twice about it is, to put it mildly, frightening. pile on top of that the internet's tendency towards a mob mentality and imagine that slighted customer tells there friends to also leave one-star ratings as an act of revenge. these are friends you've never met, who may leave a thousand miles away, who do not care about you or your business. five, six, twenty one-star ratings, and suddenly, everyone sees it, right there, plain as day, with no explanation.
there's also the conspiratorial, paranoid part of this that can also take hold. so, you're that same business owner, and you're competing with a number of other owners in the area for the same business. i'm not certain if i have to spell it out for you, but that massive bit of anonymity (which is odd, considering how much Facebook wants you to keep a public face) means someone else with perhaps less moral fiber than you can start meting out Facebook rating "justice" your way in a weird sort of passive-aggressive smear campaign.
the worst part: you may never, ever know who left you that rating or for what reason. Facebook's own mentality of making things super-easy to click & forget is now seeping over into how they treat businesses on the platform. even if you spend money on their ad platform to boost posts or garner more Likes or to promote something you're doing, Facebook offers virtually nothing in the way of protection for business owners. and it's a little bit terrifying.
this has all come to a bit of a head with something that Google started implementing for local business owners who take advantage of the Places service. Google is now starting to aggregate and pull in reviews from other online services to give a better, clearer picture of how a business looks across a number of different online venues. as of this writing, they're not pulling in Facebook ratings (most likely because of their own Google+ system, but part of me wonders if they also know how awful Facebook's ratings work). but perhaps it's only a matter of time before those reviews start getting pulled in as well.
i've a decent understanding of how ratings & reviews work in other systems. on Yelp and Foursquare, there's at least the bit higher degree of difficulty of leaving reviews & ratings, baked in to what is a service dedicated to reviewing businesses (well… that, and checkin-ins). there's at least the sense that if someone is leaving a review on either of those services, there was some thought put into it. Yelp's own service is kind of a crapshoot (as noted in a number of other articles), but the reviews that are there at least seem, to me, thoughtful and informative. that also means that any customers you have must be on either service, adding a whole other layer of sort of baked in protection, something Facebook has no barriers for. because, let's face it, nearly everyone has a Facebook account; Foursquare's and Yelp's active user numbers are likely microscopic in comparison.
i'm not completely convinced Facebook has done all this in order to leave their review system in a state of anything goes. i have to imagine the anonymous ratings are, in part, some sort of misguided effort to protect consumer privacy, and that, i can appreciate it. but without any sort of limits or barriers, the entire thing is just ripe for abuse. if i wanted to, right now, i could hop on over to a competitor's Page and leave them a one-star review, no questions asked. i could have my friends, who perhaps are as sneaky as i am, also leave one-star ratings without fear of getting caught. and it all shows up, no matter what.
sounds fun, right?
all of this is because today i learned that if you go to a Page's star rating, you can hover over and see a breakdown of the ratings. as of now, we have 38 5-star ratings (yay!), five 4-star ratings (nobody's perfect!), and three… three… one-star reviews. we've racked our brains all day long to try and figure out who we might have angered in the past or maybe just had a bad interaction with (because hey, it happens) and we literally could not think of anyone. i went through our calendar and trolled through our past bookings, trying to see where we might have gone wrong, and again, nothing. so where did those one-star reviews come from? the imagination runs wild…
so what to do? the easy thing, for now, is to simply remove the "put this on a map" function under your Facebook Page. that strips any & all of the reviews/ratings given to your Page from any view. but one has to think, at some point, these Facebook reviews will start to mean something, and if Facebook doesn't force you to to make use of it, they'll at least handicap your Page from further growth and usability. and for the good reviews you do have, well of course you want to leave those! but it's an all or nothing deal.
the short of it is this: Facebook has the power and ability to create the world's most comprehensive & useful database of small business reviews anywhere. there's absolutely nothing wrong with making something easy. feedback is necessary to a business's growth. we know as well as anyone it's not all unicorns and rainbows. and if we screw up, we definitely want to know. Facebook can help with that. but its seeming refusal to do anything to fix an already completely broken system leaves little room for hope.
my advice: turn off your mapping function under your Page settings and garner reviews from other online resources. and do it quickly.
An Idea For ShootQ
ShootQ does a pretty good job of keeping our stuff in order. ShootQ also has some incredible flaws that i find absolutely mind-boggling. the worst offender is the lack of a cohesive notification system and/or mobile implementation.
see, when you have a booking in ShootQ, it creates a little email archive so you can go back and find earlier emails. in order for ShootQ to keep track of these emails, the messages need to have a specific email address CC'd on them. easy enough for a little bit, but because it's a nonsensical string of characters, there's no great way to keep track of it in a conversation in it (and not everyone will hit "Reply All" on an email). but, but the worst part is when auto-fill takes over.
here's the issue. when we send an email from the ShootQ site, it sends directly from that nonsense string of characters, not from our normal, everyday email address, so if you're not paying attention, that becomes the primary address for LAP. so if an email gets sent to us, and the client hasn't explicitly saved our normal, everyday email address as the main contact, the client will start to type in "Little A-" and their email app of choice fills in on its own, leaving the user none the wiser about where it's really going to.
that email, sent directly to the nonsense email address, winds up in ShootQ… but we never receive notification of it. no, "hey, you have a new message!" email or even a "hey, you have a new message!" when we log in. it just sits there, waiting. and the only way you'll see it is if you go to the Booked section of the site and sort by Last Activity. that's when my blood runs cold, and i break out in hives, because a bride emailed us five, six, days ago, or two weeks ago… and we never knew.
so far, ShootQ has been just about an unhelpful as possible getting this fixed, and i cannot figure out why. they've completely halted development on their iPhone app, going so far as to pull it from the App Store. their mobile experience (in that there is none) is absolutely atrocious, so checking on-the-go is a complete non-starter. so here are some solutions to fix this. i really, truly hope someone from ShootQ reads this, because the support staff have been completely unhelpful.
- a banner at the top, noting there is a new message waiting in "____ & _____'s Portal."
- an email sent to us, noting there is a new message waiting in "____ & _____'s Portal."
- restart development of the iPhone App and enable push notifications for new messages
- make the ShootQ way more mobile-friendly than it is now, so that a random check-in an account is possible without having to lug a laptop around
look, if an extra ping or email coming through means i don't miss what is potentially a really important communication from a client, then i want it. people pay us enough money to make sure we have timely communication, and when an email goes unanswered for six days (or more), it's really embarrassing. this should be easier. this should be more fluid. this shouldn't be that hard.
2013 Alabama National Fair: Film Edition
my last bit of fun from this year's fair here in Montgomery. i took a couple rolls of Kodak Portra 400, and pushed them to 1600. i am very pleasantly surprised at the results! i think all in all, the film held up really well and now i'm curious as to how i can work this in with some actual work.
this is most of them, but you can find the full set here over on Flickr- 2013 ANF:Film

I like the smell of gas in the morning.-Nam
MB, what do you plug it into at home? A regular socket or Did you have to have something special installed at home to charge it?
Saw $2.95 here today.
I got some for $2.93 today. That was the Sam's Club member price, so one should probably not consider it a representative sample. Still, Sam's is typically only about a nickel lower than the best non-membership prices in the area, and occasionally even gets undercut, so it's probably not much of an outlier.
Actually it doesn't. One could conceivably be all-powerful but not exceptionally intelligent.
$2.94 today in Oklahoma. Praise Thor
Quote from: neopagan on October 22, 2013, 04:33:52 PM$2.94 today in Oklahoma. Praise ThorHey, I just saw where gay marriage was taking place in Oklahoma on Indian reservations, so gas prices are sure to go thru the roof now.
$2.79 today. Does Obama get credit when gas goes down?

The meninges are a protective lining around the brain and spinal cord. A meningioma is a tumor of these linings. Most meningiomas do not cause symptoms. But, if the meningioma grows, it can push on important parts of the brain. These tumors may be grade I, II, or III.
Grade III is the most aggressive type. Malignant meningiomas, also called anaplastic, are less common. These tumors are faster growing and very likely to return.
The exact cause of meningiomas is unknown. Factors that may be associated with these tumors include:
- Genetic factors
- Certain hormones
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase the risk of meningioma include:
- Sex: twice as common in women than men
- Age: 40-70
- History of breast cancer or sarcoma, as part of the Li-Fraumeni syndrome
- A diagnosis of neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2)
- Radiation exposure, especially to the head
Symptoms of meningioma are usually related to the area of the brain that is affected. Symptoms can also be due to an increase in the pressure inside the skull. Symptoms may include:
- Headaches
- Vomiting
- Double vision
- Slurred speech
- Changes in behavior
- Seizures
- Loss of sensation or weakness in the arms and legs
- Loss of bladder or bowel control
- Language deficits
- Difficulty with learned movements
- Loss of coordination
- Difficulty writing
- Intellectual difficulty
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You will have a neurologic examination.
Images of your head may need to be taken. This can be done with:
Your brain activity may need to be measured. This can be done with an electroencephalogram (EEG) .
Treatment will depend on the size and location of the tumor, its rate of growth, and your general health. The main types of treatment for meningiomas are:
Surgery may be recommended if the tumor is located in an area that is easily reached. Most surgeries can be done without causing neurologic damage.
Tumors need blood flow to survive. In some instances, prior to surgery, a catheter may be inserted into blood vessels supplying the tumor. It will disrupt the flow of blood to the tumor. This will make the tumor shrink. The smaller tumor can then be removed with surgery.
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy is used either on its own or after surgery has been done.
Some tumors may be located in an area that is difficult or too dangerous to operate on. Radiation may be used on its own if the tumor is causing symptoms and cannot be removed with surgery. Radiation therapy is an effective way of treating the tumor and stopping its growth.
If the tumor is a higher grade, radiation is generally considered. In this case, radiation may be given either on its own or after surgery to help prevent the tumor from coming back.
Your radiation oncologist will describe how the therapy is delivered and how many treatments are needed. You may receive 25-40 treatments on a daily basis, or fewer treatments if you are having stereotactic radiosurgery. This type of surgery delivers higher doses of radiation during each treatment.
Chemotherapy is used only after other treatment methods have failed. Your oncologist will discuss the options and choice of medications.

The Extract Constant refactoring makes your source code easier to read and maintain. It also helps you avoid using hard coded constants without any explanations about their values or purpose.
On this page:
a = 1 result = foo(a)*123 if some_cond a = a + result else a = a - result end
a = 1 result = foo(a)*FIXNUM FIXNUM = 123 if some_cond a = a + result else a = a - result end
class Person def greet() puts "Mr. #{'Bob'} greets you!" end end
class Person BOB = 'Bob' def greet() puts "Mr. #{BOB} greets you!" end end
The in-place refactorings are enabled in RubyMine by default. So, if you haven't changed this setting, the Extract Constant refactoring for Ruby is performed in-place, right in the editor:
- Place the cursor within the expression or declaration of a variable to be replaced by a constant.
Do one of the following:
- Press Ctrl+Alt+CCtrl+Alt+CCtrl+Alt+CCtrl+Alt+CCtrl+Alt+CCtrl+Alt+CShift+Alt+CCtrl+Alt+CCtrl+Alt+CAlt ⌘ CAlt ⌘ CAlt ⌘ CAlt ⌘ C.
- Choose Refactor | Extract Constant in the main menu, or on the context menu.
- If more than one expression is detected for the current cursor position, the Expressions list appears. If this is the case, select the required expression. To do that, click the expression. Alternatively, use the Up and Down arrow keys to navigate to the expression of interest, and then press EnterEnterEnterEnterEnterEnterEnterEnterEnterEnterEnterEnterEnter to select it.
- If more than one occurrence of the expression is found within the class, specify whether you wish to replace only the selected occurrence, or all the found occurrences with the new constant.
- Specify the name of the constant. Select the name from the list or type the name in the box with a red border.
To complete the refactoring, press
If you haven't completed the refactoring and want to cancel the changes you have made, press EscapeEscapeEscapeEscapeEscape, Escape or Ctrl+GEscapeEscapeEscapeEscapeEscapeEscapeEscapeEscape.
Note that sometimes you may need to press the corresponding key more than once.
If the Enable in place refactorings check box is cleared on the Editor settings, the Extract Constant refactoring is performed by means of the Extract Constant Dialog dialog box.
- In the Extract Constant Dialog dialog that opens, specify the name of the new constant.
- To automatically replace all occurrences of the selected expression (if it is found more than once), select the option Replace all occurrences.
- Click OK to create the constant.

Well, here is your chance to be a part of the voting for the top dancers. The Valparaiso YMCA is hosting "Dancing With the Y Stars" from 6:30 to 11 p.m. Aug. 25 at the YMCA pavilion to benefit the Promises Kept capital campaign to help reduce the $3 million building debt.
If you think those dancers on television are good, "you ain't seen nothin' yet!" Their outfits may not be quite as risque, but their moves on the dance floor will amaze you.
Celebrity dancers include Deb and Scott Anselm; Lisa Brickley and Eric Kalwitz; Dawn and Dave Collins; Brett Howie and Dave Galloway; Sue and Bob Jones; Debbie and Mike Miller; Crystal and Dimitri Olympidis; Lori and Mike Pavell; Linda and Jerry Rodenbarger; and even some surprise dancers. (We were thinking about being dancers, but didn't want to show up all these young swingers!)
The couples will compete to win the one-of-a-kind mirror ball trophy.
Tickets are $100, and include international hors d'oeuvres, compliments of Bistro 157, beverages, outstanding entertainment, and a silent auction. BMO Harris Bank is the presenting sponsor, and the Urschel family is matching every dollar raised.
This is going to be a premier event, so give Carol Misch a call at 462-4185, Ext. 225, for tickets and information, or visit www.valpoymca.org. Come dance with them! Or you can even vote for your favorite couple now. Pick up that phone, or get online.
Today I will realize the beginning of a dream I and many others have had for years. It is the groundbreaking at Lakeside Opportunities to begin permanent housing for special needs adults who want to live in a home independent of their families.
The homes will be on OE property so that the residents will have access to their workplace, and always have qualified caregivers.
Thank you to the many visionaries who never let this dream float away, and a staff and board who are making it a reality.
Another important experience — if you are interested in what inclusion is all about, please call Sara Carter at 464-9621, Ext. 332, and register for the National Inclusion Project's workshop, "Inclusion — What are You Waiting For?"
The Aug. 23 workshop is free and open to everyone. Breakfast and lunch are included, and what we learn will be invaluable for all our neighbors.
Registration for the 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. workshop is required. This project was founded by singer Clay Aiken, who was a special education teacher and wanted to create awareness about the positive possibilities inclusion can bring when the gap between those with disabilities and others is closed. The workshop will be held at Opportunity Enterprises, 2801 Evans Ave., Valparaiso.
Hope to see you there.
Thanks for reading. Fly your flag.

Crowds light up under Space Needle as marijuana made legal under Washington lawThe crowds of happy people lighting joints under Seattle's Space Needle early Thursday morning with nary a police officer in sight bespoke the new reality: Marijuana is legal under Washington state law.
4 of 8
Washington and Colorado became the first states to vote to decriminalize and regulate the possession of an ounce or less of marijuana by adults over 21. Both measures call for setting up state licensing schemes for pot growers, processors and retail stores. Colorado's law is set to take effect by Jan. 5.

The initiative emulates an April 23, 2010 approved immigration bill in Arizona. A repeal was filed days following it's approval. It also resembles a proposed initiative in Ohio to reform immigration throughout the state.
In early May 2010 U.S. Senate candidate Chad Christensen and currently Las Vegas assemblyman, said he is currenlty working on a draft for a Nevada Immigration Reform Initiative.[2]
According to Christensen, the proposed initiative will:[1]
- direct law enforcement to determine the immigration status of a person during a lawful stop or arrest
- prohibit state from banning "sending, receiving or maintaining information related to a person's immigration status or exchanging it with any other federal, state or local governmental entity for the purposes of determining eligibility."
- allow legal residents to sue if government policies appear to limit enforcement of federal laws
- prohibit hiring and picking up day laborers
- prohibit illegal immigrants without work authorization from applying for a job or soliciting employment
- make it illegal to transport, harbor or encourage illegal immigrants
- authorize impoundment or forfeiture of vehicles driven by illegal immigrants or used to transport them
- prohibit an employer from knowingly employing an unauthorized immigrant
In support of the initiative, sponsor Chad Christensen said,"It's time for the people of Nevada to stand together and let our voices be heard. Illegal immigration is costing the taxpayers in Nevada $700 million a year." Christensen argues that this is not an issue that can be delayed.[1]
Republican voter poll:
- Mason-Dixon Polling & Research Inc. Mason-Dixon conducted a poll during May 2010, on behalf of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The telephone poll surveyed 500 "likely Republican primary voters." The survey asked voters whether they supported or opposed a Nevada law similar to the "Arizona immigration reform" passed in 2010. According to the poll, 85% were in support, while 8% were opposed and 7% said they were undecided. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.5 percentage points.[3][4]
On June 18 the ACLU of Nevada and the Nevada Open for Business Coalition filed a lawsuit with the Carson District Court. The lawsuits requests that District Court Judge James Wilson block the proposed initiative. Specifically the suit asks the judge to prevent the initiative from being proposed to the legislature or to voters. According to the groups the initiative violates the state's single-subject law. Additionally they argue that the proposed measure "promotes racial profiling and would hurt the state's economy."[5][6] Of the alleged single-subject violation the Nevada Open for Business Coalition specifically said, "It embraces numerous subjects — everything from enacting voter identification laws to creating task forces and advisory boards and to criminalizing the stopping of a vehicle to pick up passengers for work," the coalition states."[7] The NAACP and others are included in the filed lawsuit. According to reports the ACLU and the NAACP created a group called "What Happens in Arizona Stops in Arizona."[8]
Path to the ballot
According to reports, supporters will need to collect 97,002 valid signatures to send it to the legislature. If the legislature fails to act on the measure it will be placed on the 2012 ballot.[5]

England closed day two of the first Test against India in Ahmedabad on 41 for three, after the hosts had declared on 521 for eight.
The tourists made a hapless start to their reply, despite an eight-and-a-half-hour demonstration from Cheteshwar Pujara of the skills they need to do so.
India's total owed much to Pujara's tour de force 206 not out, and more than a little too to the adventure of Virender Sehwag with his destructive hundred on Thursday.
The upshot on day two at the Sardar Patel Stadium was that new England captain Alastair Cook and debutant Nick Compton's first task, in pursuit of an opening stalemate in this four-match series, was to come through 18 overs unscathed.
Cook survived. But Compton, nightwatchman James Anderson and then Jonathan Trott could not stay with him in a distinctly unpromising stumps total.
England were confronted immediately with Ravichandran Ashwin's much-hyped variations, and spin at both ends by the 10th over when slow left-armer Pragyan Ojha joined in.
A big off-break was too much for Compton, turning between bat and pad to hit leg-stump and give Ashwin his 50th Test wicket, in record Indian time.
Anderson went bat-pad to Ojha an over later, and then in the next Trott fell likewise to Ashwin.
Pujara had earlier ploughed on remorselessly to a maiden double-hundred at this level in only his sixth Test.
He shared a fifth-wicket stand of 130 with Yuvraj Singh (74), and put on another 66 for the seventh with Ashwin before England were granted a rest - after 160 overs of hard and largely unrewarded slog in the sun.
Graeme Swann eventually took his wicket tally to five, for the 14th time for his country, but his successes here came at a cost of 144 runs on a lifeless surface offering only slow and irregular turn.
If there was a consolation for England, it was that this pitch has yet to show any significant signs of deterioration - and therefore their prospects of closing out a draw should remain viable.
During their second consecutive wicketless morning, Yuvraj passed a poignant comeback half-century - in his first Test innings since recovering from cancer - and Pujara completed India's second individual hundred of the match.
Yuvraj reached his 98-ball 50 with a big hit over midwicket off Swann for his fifth four, to go with a one straight six also off the off-spinner.
England gave the ball, only four overs old, to Swann rather than seam at each end this morning.
But the closest they came to a breakthrough before lunch was with a series of lbw appeals, the most convincing of which was Swann's from only the second ball of the day when Yuvraj missed a sweep without addition to his overnight 24.
He and Pujara then appeared to target Swann, taking 15 off one over - including that six from Yuvraj - but Cook kept his nerve, and the off-spinner continued.
By then, Pujara had moved from his start-of-play 98 past his hundred, from 190 balls.
It soon turned into a 'groundhog' experience for England - although, to defensive fields, runs did not come as quickly as they had for Sehwag 24 hours earlier.
Cook employed some unconventional fielding positions at times, posting a seven-two off-side arrangement - with no catchers behind the bat - to help Anderson dry up the run-rate against Pujara.
The stoic number three is not a batsman to respond with a loss of patience, however, and it seemed England's best hope was to try to out-bore him and hope for a mistake from Yuvraj.
It was not until early afternoon that they had any respite.
Yuvraj clubbed a Samit Patel full-toss to Swann in the leg-side deep, and then the off-spinner put himself back in the wickets column too when Mahendra Singh Dhoni deflected an attempted sweep down on to his stumps.
Pujara remained less co-operative, still showing no signs of weariness as he negotiated a third successive full session in an innings which would eventually encompass 389 balls.
It also contained 21 fours, many classy deflections to leg and a collection driven down the ground - until England's damage limitation left him little option but to pick off runs into that packed off-side.
Kevin Pietersen had Ashwin edging a cut behind, but it was not until Zaheer Khan speared an attempted drive at Anderson to Trott at backward point that the first wicket at last fell to pace.
Shortly afterwards, with Pujara's double-century safely in the book, Dhoni decided it was time for England's batsmen to be tested.

Windows Post Installation Wizard is a application designed to give users choice of what applications, tweaks and scripts to install using an automated system. WPI gives us the ability to easily create a custom application installer.
A typical setup that a technician would have with WPI is to have their OS files and the applications/tweaks on one disk. Once Windows finishes installing, WPI will install the applications such as AVG, FoxIT Reader, Flash etc.. without any input from you. Or, you can make it so you have a choice by clicking checkboxes based on what you want to install.
At first, the applications looks a little overwhelming to use but its not that hard once you get to used to it.
To begin, download the application here and extract it somewhere. I found it easier to extract it to c:\WPI because it helps a little later on.
Find the applications you want this GUI to install such as Firefox and save it in c:\WPI\Install\
Once extracted, navigate to that folder and open the WPI.hta file and it will launch a WindowsXP-Installer-Like interface. Click Config on the right hand side.
Down the bottom, click "New Config" and overwrite the config.js thats already there. eg. C:\WPI\WPIScripts\config.js
In the name field, enter the name of the application. In my example, I wrote "Firefox".
In the description, just enter the description of Firefox.
I recommend unticking the "Default" checkbox if you want the ability to choose what you want to install. If default is ticked you will have no choice to install Firefox every time WPI is run.
In the Category dropdown you can leave it as Applications for now. However, you might want to change it when you add different installers.
In Command 1, click the picture of the folder on the right hand side and find the Firefox installer in your Install folder. It will fill out this field with something like this: "%wpipath%\Install\firefox.exe"
If you want Firefox to install silently without the prompts, you can change it to:
"%wpipath%\Install\firefox.exe" /S
You can leave the rest blank and press the "Add" button up the top. Add as many applications as you want and when you are done be sure to press the "Save" button down the bottom.
Press the Red X next to the Exit text in the bottom right hand side.
Now, next time you run the WPI.hta file it will have the options you just made.
This is just a basic guide to get you started. If you go into Options there is are a lot more tweaks you can do such as adding music while the installer runs or have it restart the computer once everything is finished.
The application has good documentation so to find out more such as how to slipstream it to a XP cd or make it autorun, press the Manual button inside the application or goto C:\WPI\Manual\en\index.html

It's driving me bonkers! The kid will happily lay on his sides rolling from his back. And I know very well that he can roll from tummy to back because he has done it in the past. He just chooses not to. Even if he begins to roll to one side, he will correct himself back to Center every time.
He's gonna be 5 months in 3 days. It's really got me worried. He loves to stand and kick his legs and is grabbing his feet, but this rolling thing is starting to get my stomach all tied up in knots. In one more month he will be expected to have all his rolling accomplished and to be sitting up and I just can't imagine how he will manage all that work.
Every child reaches milestones in their own timing. It is easy to get worked up but it isn't something to be concerned about just yet. If it makes you feel better, DS3 is 5 months and just rolled back to belly for the first time today. He started rolling belly to back about a month ago but hates to be on his back so he rarely tries.
DS2 was a late sitter. He started crawling at 6 months on the dot yet he wouldn't sit on his own until 8 months. He is a completely normal and healthy 4 year old now. My oldest has been in PT for awhile and I have a friend who is an OT so if I ever get concerned I ask one of them for an opinion. My friend gave me some exercises for the late sitter and within a week he was sitting on his own.
I wouldn't worry. My DD1 rolled occasionally from tummy to back starting when she was 4 months, but it was never intentional. She rolled kind of on her side from her back when she was 6 months, and I was sure that she would soon have it figured out. Nope. She was 9 months old, yes 9 months(!!!) before she actually figured out how to roll. Then she pulled up and walked (pretty much skipped crawling) within 2 months. When she was 11 months old she was toddling around. So don't worry!
FWIW, DD2 has rolled tummy to back 3 times, all accidental. She'll be 5 months on Friday.
