52. the lake The lake makes me happy because I see people I know, I get to bond with whomever I'm there with, and see little squirrels and lizards and pretty wildflowers.
53. long-term exercise Working out at least an hour for 5 days a week does yield results, and I know that if I continue biking like I did today, I'm going to have a great butt and toned legs like Julian.
54. crud conversations People who are bad conversationalists make me happy because I then appreciate all the good conversationalists I have in my live. Thankfully the good ones outnumber the bad ones.
55. water Tastes so good. You might think I'm crazy but sometimes after not drinking water for a while, I drink it and it seems slightly sweet. Maybe it's just refreshing. Nevertheless, it's great stuff and I could chug it anytime.
56. showers I love getting clean. it's great. I tried to shower with cold water, but that's kind of uncomfortable. When I have to, sure I'm a little miserable, but it just reminds me of all the people who don't have hot, clean water available to them and I try my best to keep my showers short.
57. q-tips great things. Imagine what life would be like with out these simple luxuries? Dirty ears. messy make-up. unclean belly-buttons?! Sheer madness I tell you!
58. socks I can't fall asleep easily with cold feet and socks cure me of cold feet when I sleep. This makes me happy. Tube socks are great too. The kind with the two stripes on it? I like those ones. Only thing is that they give you sock tans.
59. Russian accents I heard one today. An old man had one. It. Was. Totally. Boss. So cool I can't even describe.
60. Wildflowers Totally beautiful and random gifts from God. I saw orange, red, yellow, purple, blue, etc. ones. So pretty I swear. Amazing since a lot of other plants looked kind of dead.

52. the lake The lake makes me happy because I see people I know, I get to bond with whomever I'm there with, and see little squirrels and lizards and pretty wildflowers.
31. painting other people's nails I painted my cousins nails. I think they came out very good. They have stripes on them. Plus it gives us time to bond and that's always good.
32. scratching my cousin's head Doing this action makes her sleepy. Same goes for her dad, my uncle. She looks so peaceful and that makes me happy.
33. talking to creeper Eric Now, now, don't be alarmed. He's not actually a creeper but so called "friends" nicknamed him that. He's really quite interesting and he makes me laugh. We're just friends, but he makes me laugh so that's why he's on this list.
34. Josh He's my guy best friend. I introduced him to his girlfriend and I'm glad things actually worked out. He's pretty funny and has a great sense of humor. I can count on him to cheer me up a lot of the time.
35. Nancy She's my bestie. Today I was really down and out and I called her and she cheered me up. Sometimes she frustrates me, but most of the time everything is peachy-keen. I love her in a no-homo kind of way.
36. Eliza She's my cousin and pretty much my favorite relative. Our birthday's are less than a year apart and we always laugh about the oddest things. She's a great cousin.
37. Simone It's an honor for her to think I'm the weirdest person she knows. I say this because I think she's the weirdest person I know. She makes me realize that in most situations where a person would freak out (i.e. today when a dime sized spider was trying to crawl up my shorts), I stay calm and ask why I'm not freaking out. She's great and she makes me happy by talking about things most people would say "awkward" at.
38. Amanda I don't know how she does it, but every time I see her, she makes me laugh. It's not that difficult of a task, but it's amazing how consistently she induces laughter. She is Platypus, and I am Abu and I'm glad we're the first two, and only two, members of The Buttermilk Biscuit Society.
39. Lei It was pretty random how we first began really talking as friends, but I'm glad it happened. She has great style and is an excellent confidant. I know I can rely on her to not judge me when I relay my experiences to her.
40. Dillon I never talked to him much when I knew him, but he was an excellent piece of eye-candy. I thank Sweet Baby Jesus for putting him and I in the same place and time at least for a few months. Remembering his smile is one of the best priceless things ever.
41. Julian He was the greatest bestfriend/boyfriend combo I've had in my short lifetime. An ace kisser, but first and foremost a best friend. I could tell him anything and be comfortable as myself around him. Even though we've gone our separate ways, I'm really glad Sweet Baby Jesus put him in my life. He makes me happy whether as just friends or more.
21. spaghetti Definitely one of my favorite foods. I always tell people I'm able to eat this stuff all day everyday for a month. Usually we only have about a weeks worth when it's made. I think grain, cheese and tomato is the best food combination in the world.
22. macaroni and cheese Another one of my favorite foods.. same thing applies.
23. baked ziti similar to the above.
24. pizza same as above. All day everyday still applies.
25. tamarind soup this is a filipino soup also called sinigang. Usually I enjoy it best with spinach, white radish, tomato, tofu, shrimp, string beans, onion, and okra. It's sour and very delicious. All day everyday.
26. fuji apples The small ones that are a perfect sweet snack. I don't believe in the 'apple a day' thing, but fruits are important for a well balanced diet. By the way, diet doesn't mean like, trying to loose weight. People misuse the word all the time.
27. cheese I love cheese. Whether it be parmesan, cheddar, american, swiss, babybel, brie: I enjoy it very much. I couldn't eat it all day everyday, but I could eat it often.
28. andes mints These little chocolaty, minty candies are quite delectable. My cousin and I absolutely love them and they don't leave a weird chocolaty taste in your mouth, just a nice refreshing taste.
29. photos They capture great memories and look awesome. definitely worth many words. [:
30. cheesecake Not actually made out of cheese, but delicious nonetheless. It's such an excellent dessert. I just hope that if someone makes such a cake, that they don't expect me not to eat it.
11. Schlotzsky's I've seen a store or two in my city before but when I lived in VB there was one and after school one day I decided to go there and try it out. I tried their Fresh Veggie Oven-Toasted sandwich without red onions and I fell in love. It's absolutely the best tasting vegetarian sandwich I've ever had in my life. I can say I will die happily if that sandwich was to be the last sandwich I'll ever eat.
12. painting my nails I save money, show off my skillz, and procrastinate homework and other useless things like cleaning my room. What can be better? hahaha.
13. biking I enjoy just cruising along by the beach or wherever I'm at. Works them buns and thighs and I look cute on my sea foam green cruiser. Too bad I outgrew it. I have a different one, but it doesn't really matter if it's a cruiser or not because my friend pointed out that it's pointless to use a cruiser when you're not at the beach. It makes hills difficult and for some reason, practically everyone has a cruiser now. I don't mind not driving because I'm saving the environment! [:
14. running Although this will ruin my knee joints and hip flexers over time, I enjoy this because I feel like I'm ridding my body of toxins and getting exercise. Also, if i push myself really hard, I get the reward of the runner's high, which is one of the best natural highs in the world, in my opinion. [Sure weed is 'natural' but not in my world.]
15. stretching It's possible to over-stretch, but stretching makes me happy because I like being flexible. My fingers are double jointed, so I just think that i should try to be as flexible as possible. This also reduces the amount of pulled strings and such. I pulled something twice, and that is not fun.
16. cheerleading I don't cheer at the moment, but when I did cheer, I loved it. Of course the conditioning was beastly, but I felt like it was for my own good, and would have helped me become a better cheerleader. I hope to keep cheer in my life somehow by either joining some sort of out of school organization, or mentoring, coaching, or being part of UCA or the like. I know I need much more experience, but I'll try.
17. puppies As much as I hate to admit it, I think puppies are adorable. I was reminded of this when my friend Leilani adopted a two month old puppy. Being able to hold such a small and fragile life in your hands is so, indescribable. It's just amazing to feel the living fuzzball breathing in your hands. Completely amazing.
18. cool moist sand on my legs I went to the beach recently and I discovered how soothing it is to dig a shallow hole and cover my legs with sand. I then proceeded to cover my lower half and make fin and scale patterns in the sand so I could look like a mermaid. It was silly but enjoyable. Hah, I'm so easily amused.
19. thinking about the time I went to the shore with my uncle cousin and guardian That day was a happy day the the silhouette of the trees against the orange sky was so beautiful. It looked like the world was on fire.
20. remembering oceanfront on that cold drizzly day It is a great memory.
I'm going try try to list at least ten things a day for the next ten days. Or more in one day if I can.
1. Clear blue skies I'm from Southern California and occasionally we get nice warm, but not too hot, days where there isn't a cloud in the sky. I really appreciate how beautiful it is and the warm sun on my face [covered in SPF] is such a joy. It makes me smile and fills me with so much happiness.
2. Smiles There's scientific research out there that says smiling releases endorphins that make you happy. I believe this and I enjoy smiling. I try to brighten people's days by smiling at strangers.
3. Compliments Spreadin' the luurve. I try to compliment at least one person a day. Who doesn't like compliments? I know i like receiving them. Don't get me wrong, I don't give solely to receive, I just think that if we all say something nice about someone, then the world will be a better place.
4. Reading the dictionary I used to do this when I was younger. I happened to keep a dictionary by my bed and one night I decided to pick it up and clarify the definition of a word. Before I knew it, I had spent an hour looking at different words and their definitions.
5. British accents There's just something about the UK and their inhabitants that I love. Their accents, are like a different language that I can understand. I am just truly fascinated with it and my cousin and I spent two weeks straight talking in British accents to the point that when I called a friend, they didn't know who I was. British accents are just so pleasing to my ears.
6. Dancing Dancing makes me happy when I hear an excellent song that I just cannot keep still to. This has happened with at least 6 songs in my young life. They're songs, that upon the first time hearing, that just fill the balloon of my body with the helium of exquisite song. Upon listening to these songs, I just can't help but move freely.
7. Walking This is truly a privilege to be able to walk. Sure some of us are 'lazy' but it's a gift to move forward on legs. Keep in mind amputees and wheel-chair bound people. Walking is an easy, usually sweat-less way to keep in shape. There's a pedometer on my phone and I enjoy seeing how far I've walked in a day.
8. Baking I never had an easy-bake oven and my elders always told me not to touch the stove so I was never able to bake as a child. As I grew older I played with fire as a rebellion but one time when i set a burning candle on top of a paper towel, on the stove and forgot about it, I almost burnt down the house, exactly what they were trying to prevent me from doing. I switched to baking and that has proved to be less dangerous and more delicious.
9. journal writing I find that writing in a journal is quite therapeutic. I believe I have excellent memory, but I once read somewhere that we need to let go of old things to make room for new things. I guess writing 'old things' down is sort of like letting go, but not completely. I find it especially helpful when I have no close friends available to talk to on the phone or to hang out with.
10. solitude There's a difference between being alone, and being lonely. Sometimes I enjoy being alone because our world is very crowded. Classrooms, highways, lines, etc. I can reflect on events, or plan on future ones. When I used to live in VB I used to go down to oceanfront on my bike alone, a bit dangerous seeing as I am a female, but nevertheless, it was enjoyable looking out at the sea cruising along with no worries.
Can't wait to write some more tomorrow. That wasn't too hard. [:

Lift your trailer wheel by pulling it onto these jacks. It's quick and easy. No moving parts.
By the DIY experts of The Family Handyman Magazine:April 2011
So you've thought ahead and bought a spare tire for your
trailer—good so far. But if you think you can just use your
car jack to do the heavy lifting, think again. Most car jacks
won't raise the trailer high enough, and hydraulic jacks are
heavy and take up a lot of space. That's why these special
lightweight jacks really come in handy.
The wedge-shaped aluminum EZ Jack (about $80 from cabelas.com) is perfect for trailers with tandem wheels. First, loosen
the lug nuts on the flat tire first. Then wedge the EZ Jack
under the good front tire and pull the entire trailer forward
(or place it on the back wheel and drive backward if it's
a flat front tire). Then chock the opposite side. Swap out
the tires, then toss the lightweight jack (9 lbs.) back in your
truck and you're good to go.
No lifting! Simply back the trailer onto the jack.
The Easy Lift Jack (available through our affiliation with amazon.com about $32) is
perfect for boat and utility trailers (up
to 2 tons). First, loosen the lug nuts
on the flat tire. Then match up
the cutout portion on the jack
to the trailer axle. Wedge the
teeth along the circular edge
into the road and pull the
trailer forward. Expect
some skidding until it
bites into the road surface.
Once it's raised,
block the other wheel
with a wheel chock
and swap the tires.
Set the jack under the axle and pull the trailer forward.
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.

Windows 7 Enterprise 32bit
Cable for digital audio out for SB Audigy 2 card
I have a very old but very functional computer that I'd like to connect to my surround sound PC speakers. I currently have the computer connected to the speakers via the analog green, yellow and black cables, but my card states that it can support digital audio out, but I'm not sure what kind of cable to use for digital out. I've tried looking on here, but didn't find a solution, probably since my audio card is about 8 or so years old. It appears to be some sort of coaxial output on the card, but maybe not. I've attached pictures of my actual sound card, the far right port is the digital out. The sound card is SB Audigy 2 and my speakers are Altec Lansing ADA995 speakers, thanks in advance, I've been looking for a solution for a long time.

Dell used a custom Audigy 2ZS but it still is basically the same as the Retail version. According to the Creative (SoundBlaster) site it's a standard 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo plug. It is not "optical" (TOS) so you will need a compatible "digital" input on your surround amplifier for it to work. Probably the best thing is to continue using it the way you are now.

A recent problem cropped up in my Asp.Net MVC application. Its using the standard setup of DataAnnotations + MicrosoftMvcValidation.js + jQuery 1.4.2, and I needed to check the validation state of a form before performing some client-side actions. No problem, right?
Obviously not.
This second part of this post gets in depth as to what's going on with the MicrosoftMvcValidation script, but to save you some time, I'll post the solution first.
To manually validate your form with MicrosoftMvcValidation.js:
In MicrosoftMvcValidation.js, change line 20 from:
return Sys.Mvc._ValidationUtil.$0($2.validate('submit'));})); return $2;
return Sys.Mvc._ValidationUtil.$0($2.validate('submit'));})); $0.MvcValidationFormContext = $2; return $2;
Alternately, if you're using the debug version of the script, you can achieve the same effect by adding the following to line 196 (the end of the _parseJsonOptions function):
formElement.MvcValidationFormContext = formContext;
UPDATE: As Morten Christiansen points out in the comments, there is a much cleaner way of accessing the FormContext object, without having to introduce a custom tracking property and modifying the script. Instead of a custom property, we can just use
$('form')[0]['__MVC_FormValidation']. Thanks to Morten for pointing this out!
Now we can use the following jQuery/javascript code to manually validate our form:
var $form = ("#MyForm"); // Select our form with jQuery
var context = $form[0].MvcValidationFormContext; // Access the new property we createdvar errors; if ($form[0]['__MVC_FormValidation']) { errors = $form[0]['__MVC_FormValidation'].validate("submit"); // Validate the form } if (!$form[0]['__MVC_FormValidation'] || errors.length == 0) { // No errors, do your stuff }
I assumed (incorrectly) that there must be a client-side API to
MicrosoftMvcValidation.js, the javascript responsible for dynamic client side form validation that ships with the ASP.Net MVC framework. Unfortunately, in all my digging, I could not unearth one -- and it seems like a huge oversight. The amount of effort to expose an
isValid property or a
validate() function on the client would be pretty minimal!
Why would you need to do this? Doesn't the validation occur automatically? Well, yes it does -- when you submit the form, or click around in it. However, there are lots of cases where you might want to manually trigger the error messages or perform a client-side action based on whether or not the form is valid, without running the submit handler. In my case, I wanted to make sure the form was valid before trying to submit it, as our ajax pipeline puts up the "spinner" graphic when a submit event is triggered, which meant it was flashing briefly and looked dumb.
The most common response I ran across when searching for how to manually validate was -- give up and use the jQuery validate plugin. This would be my preferred solution to be honest, but I ran into at least two blockers with jQuery validate:
So that was out. Since I already had most of what I needed working with the Microsoft scripts, I went back to them and started exploring the code to see if I could discover any sort of public API. This is what I came up with.
The key thing that I found was that
MicrosoftMvcValidation creates a javascript object called a
FormContext, which has a
validate(eventName) method. This seemed promising, so I tried following the code to see how I could get at this validate method. Well -- I couldn't. Not without some modifications. Here's how it works.
When you include
MicrosoftMvcValidation, the main piece of script that executes is this:
Sys.Mvc.FormContext._Application_Load = function Sys_Mvc_FormContext$_Application_Load() { var allFormOptions = window.mvcClientValidationMetadata; if (allFormOptions) { while (allFormOptions.length > 0) { var thisFormOptions = allFormOptions.pop(); Sys.Mvc.FormContext._parseJsonOptions(thisFormOptions); } } }
<% Html.EnableClientValidation(); %> to your views causes a bunch of JSON data to be output to the page, and appended to the
window.mvcClientValidationMetatdata javascript object. When the page is ready, the above function runs and calls
FormContext._parseJsonOptions() on all the rules and data that were output to that object.
_parseJsonOptions is what creates the
FormContext object that we're interested in. In fact, the return value of
_parseJsonOptions is the FormContext… but sadly, Application_Load ignores the return value, and it's just thrown to the bitbucket, never to be seen again (at least by us).
Judging from the underscores on the function names, it's pretty clear that these are meant to be internal operations, so we can (perhaps) excuse them for not storing and exposing the
FormContext for us. From the framework's point of view, it doesn't need to be stored anywhere, because it still has it --
_parseJsonOptions internally adds new event handlers for the form, and these handler delegates close over the
FormContext object. The closures means that internally, the form handlers still have a saved reference to what they need, so the application load function doesn't need to do anything with the return value. The
FormContext never surfaces -- so if we want to validate the form ourselves, we need to
expose dig for it. All that my code at the top of the post is doing is modifying the
_parseJsonOptions function (minified to be named
$12), to start adding a new property to the form element in the DOM, which will store the created
FormContext object. I named this property
MvcValidationFormContext, but you could call it anything you'd like. You can subsequently access this new property to get the
FormContext and call
validate("submit") on it, which fires the validation as though we were trying to submit the form, and returns a collection of errors we can check.
As Morten pointed out, the reference is, of course, still there. You can access the closed over FormContext by grabbing the DOM element and digging in it's properties array. The updated code reflects this.
MicrosoftMvcValidation.js to include a client API in the future. Even more, I'd love to see jQuery Validate get some attention to fix the blockers that I ran into, so I can dump the MicrosoftAjax scripts out of my project altogether.
Great post, Morgan!
looks like you have taken a really deep look at MicrosoftMvcValidation.js
May be you can help me in my scenario?:
I am trying to disable/enable CRUD buttons depending on a state of a form. Form can be either valid or invalid:
function validForm(form) {
var errs = Sys.Mvc.FormContext.getValidationForForm(form).validate('submit');
return (!(errs && errs.length));
However, what I would like to do is to have validForm as an event handler to some event, like onValidated. Is there anything in MicrosoftMvcValidation.js what would tell me that validation happened and validation state has changed?
Thank you,
Vlad – interesting idea, and again, something that would have been quite useful and should have been exposed IMO.
Unfortunately there are no hooks that I can find in MicrosoftMvcValidation.js that would allow for something like this.
There are markers that it sets once a field has had validation triggered on it though. You can see this in action by using firebug, you'll see that input fields gain a DOM property called _MVC_HasValidationFired with a value of "true". This kind of static checking is unlikely to meet your needs, so the only other thing I can suggest is to start hacking at the debug version of the script.
It looks like you could probably accomplish what you need pretty simply by adding a new function to the FormContext object. Try something like this:
– After the "validate: " function, add a new function prototype, called onValidate. It's around line 328 of the debug version of the script.
– In the end of the validate function, call your new function. Here's maybe what the changes could look like:
325 }
326 this.onValidate();
327 return errors;
328 }
330 onValidate: function () { }; //placeholder
Then you could replace the placeholder and hook up your own function to "onValidate" when you get a reference to the FormContext.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Creat post, helped me a lot. I also hope there wil be a client API in the future, it would make things a lot easier.
I've finally got our CRUD buttons state logic working.
Here is what I added to MicrosoftMvcValidation.debug.js:
1. to Sys_Mvc_FormContext$_parseJsonOptions right before return formContext;:
formElement.MvcValidationFormContext = formContext;
2. to Sys.Mvc.FormContext.prototype:
onValidationSateChanged: function Sys_Mvc_FormContext$onValidationSateChanged(formIsValid) {
3. to validate: function Sys_Mvc_FieldContext$validate(eventName) {:
if ((this._errors.length == 0) && (errors.length > 0)) {
if ((this._errors.length > 0) && (errors.length == 0)) {
this.formContext.onValidationSateChanged(true); //"becoming valid, event: " + eventName);
return errors;
And here is how I hook up CRUD state logic:
function SetCRUDStateLogicForForm(formName) {
//get the form
var form = $("#" + formName);
//get the form's context
var context = form[0].MvcValidationFormContext;
//hook up CRUD UI controls state logic to the form's validataion state change event
context.onValidationSateChanged = SetCRUDStateForForm;
//validate the form
errors = context.validate("submit");
//set form specific CRUD state
SetCRUDStateForForm(errors.length == 0);
//Default UI CRUD controls state logic. Relies on naming convention.
//It requires AddButton, saveButton, deleteButton and IsNew form elements to be present somewhere on a page
function SetCRUDStateForForm(formIsValid) {
var addButton = $("#AddButton");
var saveButton = $("#SaveButton");
var deleteButton = $("#DeleteButton");
if (!formIsValid) {
saveButton.attr("disabled", "disabled");
deleteButton.attr("disabled", "disabled");
else {
if ($("#IsNew")[0].value != "True") {
if ($("#IsNew")[0].value == "True") {
addButton.attr("disabled", "disabled");
else {
Hopefully it is somewhat useful.
As far as I can see you can get to the form context without modifying the MicrosoftMvcValidation.js file like this:
Thanks for this great post. Very helpful.
I'm pulling my forms down through Ajax calls. So I added the Sys.Mvc.FormContext._Application_Load function to my main window in order to regenerate the validation info, given that I don't have a recurring page load event.

MVC 2 allows client side validation using the model data annotations by using the MicrosoftMvcValidation.js.
In this case when filling a value in a input box, client side validates the value.
If it is not valid, the ErrorMessage in de data annotiontion will be shown next to the input box.
Is it possible to show an image instead of the ErrorMessage string next to the input box?
Kind regards,
Kin Shing Choy
var f = $("#formId");
var context1 = f[0]['__MVC_FormValidation'];
var errors;
if (context1) {
errors = context1.validate("submit"); // Validate the form
if (!context1 || errors.length == 0) {
type: "POST",
url: f.attr("action"),
data: f.serialize(),
dataType: "json",
success: function (result) {
var domElement = $(result.Html);
This worked nicely for me. Thanks for your help.
@Morten Christiansen – thanks for pointing this out! If I had gone just a bit farther with my explorations, I would have found this much better solution.
I'll update the post with this.
Great post, saved my life
Morgan, This is wonderful. I was looking all over for a way to make sure the client-side validations got called before I did an Ajax post. I certainly didn't want to give up the MVC client-side validations in order to implement a progress bar. Thanks for posting such a clean elegant solution.
I have been looking for this answer all day! Thanks for making it so simple. It worked great for me, too.
I have a video that you might be interested in. If you are like me, you are probably interested in automation. With the use of commission robotics, you can have your marketing done for you through complete automation. A series of robots performs important, methodical tasks, one after the other and allows you to focus on other aspects of internet marketing. It is really interesting how all of these little robots work in unison to perform all of these tasks. Even though this is extremely interesting to me, I think that it will be interesting for others as well and so here is the link to the video: http://goo.gl/v8qVq
Found this just in time, was about to give up and add some pre-client side validation.
Not too hard to figure out, but I think
"var $form = ("#MyForm");"
should have the jQuery selector:
"var $form = $("#MyForm");"
Thank you! Great post.
In my case $('form')[0]['__MVC_FormValidation'] is unassigned. Anyone has any idea why?
$('form')[0] does give me a form element, so that's not the problem.

Psychological issues may play a role in
erection problems (erectile dysfunction). These issues may include depression, anxiety disorder, or another mental disorder.
Men with these types of problems may benefit from therapy.
Psychological treatment is most likely to be
helpful for men who:
The type of
therapy and how long it lasts depends on what type of problem you have. Both group or individual therapy may be used. It's often helpful to involve your partner in the therapy.
Evidence shows that group therapy helps with erection
problems in some men. Adding group therapy to treatment with sildenafil
(for example, Viagra) helped more than sildenafil alone. Men who took part in group therapy also
were more likely to keep taking their medicine.1

Normally a member can only take money from their pension once they're aged 55 or over. Some companies are marketing schemes claiming to let members gain early access to their pension pot by borrowing from the member's pension fund before they retire. This is commonly known as 'pension liberation' and can result in unauthorised payments being made from the pension scheme. Early access to pensions is rarely in anyone's long-term financial interests, and can carry tax charges of more than half the unauthorised payment.
The Pensions Regulator, HM Revenue & Customs and Action Fraud are working together to combat such schemes and, following warnings last year about the dangers of entering into them, have joined forces to publish a set of leaflets about pension liberation offers that are being marketed.
The leaflets provide information aimed at members and trustees of registered pension schemes about the serious downsides of pension liberation arrangements, what trustees can do to reduce the risk of pension liberation, and the tax impact of releasing pension funds early using these types of arrangements. Follow the link below to download the leaflets.
If you want more information or are aware of anyone tempted to enter into such an arrangement please ask them to contact Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 or the Pensions Helpline on 0845 600 2622.

MATLAB Programming
MATLAB is a programming language developed by MathWorks. It started out as a matrix programming language where linear algebra programming was simple. It can be run both under interactive sessions and as a batch job.
Most MATLAB scripts and functions can be run in the open source program Octave. This program is freely available for most computing platforms.
GNU Octave and LabVIEW MathScript are systems for numerical computations with an m-file script language that is mostly compatible with MATLAB. Both alternatives can replace MATLAB in many circumstances. While a good deal of the content of this book will also apply to both Octave and LabVIEW MathScript, it is not guaranteed to work in exactly the same manner. Differences and comparison between MATLAB and Octave are presented in Comparing Octave and MATLAB.

A Tutorial Introduction[edit]
All programming languages are introduced by the most famous computer program on the planet, "Hello world", so let's begin with that for the time being. Open MATLAB on your computer. You will be greeted by a desktop environment of its own. In the center you can see a window labelled as "Command Window". The cursor should be already flickering there; all you now have to do is to write this...
disp('Hello world')
and press the return key. The output will be shown just below the command as
Hello world
So there you have it, a more simple program than in C or C++ we have to call only one function called
and pass the argument string in single quotes (not double), but why so? Because we might need to use double quotes inside the string and that would be interpreted as the end of the string argument. Having said this, it is assured that double quotes work inside the string, however escape sequences may have to be used to get the string right.
MATLAB has a programming environment in its own and needs an area to store the variables and other program data that is stored while using the tool. MATLAB has a command window as shown, and a base workspace which is the default workspace. Functions in MATLAB also have their own workspace, and the visibility of a variable is dependent on the workspace that it resides in. If the variable is in the base workspace then it is visible to all of the scripts and functions in MATLAB, while a function's local variables are visible to that function only and are not usable outside that function.
Type this on the MATLAB Command Window
My_Var = 10
You will see
My_Var =
as a response, also note that there would also be an addition to the Base workspace.
To check out what all variables are stored in the MATLAB workspace, we can use the following command.
This would list out all the variables currently present in the MATLAB workspace, but would not give much idea about the data types and the size of the variables, to have those in the result use this command instead
By this time, i think there would be much clutter on your command window.
To clear out all the output on the command window, use this command.
This WOULD NOT clear out the variables and the history. so that you would have a new clean and fresh command window.
The output of whos on my screen showed something like this
Now, if you notice the Size is marked as 1X1, but why? The reason for this is that in MATLAB all the data is realized as double precision arrays (well, its the way MATLAB is designed to work as it is a scientific computing tool). And so scalars like these are realized as a 1X1 array. Simple!
After all this if you think your work is done and you do not need all those variables in the MATLAB workspace now, you can relieve yourself of your Programmers baggage by using this command.
This clears out any and all variables in the workspace. But if your miseries are not yet to finish and would like to remove a variable or two.
clear <var1> <var2>....
where var1, var2, var3,.... are the variables that you want to clear, do not put the three dots in the end, that's just for description.
Variables are just a container of your data. You can give any name to your variable as long as it is under 63 characters, starts with an alphabet and is without any punctuation in between. The reason for not allowing any punctuation is that the punctuation marks like . , : , ; etc have a special meaning in MATLAB and can alter the flow of execution
is a perfectly valid variable name. There may be some variables names that are not allowed even if they are perfectly valid variable names, because they are reserved keywords and are used to notify some code execution logic. However their number is limited and meaningful names for variables can be created outside this pool of names. To find if any word is a reserved keyword, run this check on the command line.
The result would be
ans =
All values of variables are referred by their current instance in the workspace. The variables can be overwritten during the execution of MATLAB scripts and the values vary accordingly. All operations use the current value in the workspace.
Let's try something good. We all know that the value of pi is 3.1416, lets ask MATLAB the same, type this on the command window
The result is
ans = 3.1416
Lets try overwriting it...
pi = 0
...and see it once again.
pi ans = 0
Calculate the area of a circle now.
Area = pi * 10 * 10 Area= 0

Object Oriented Programming[edit]
MATLAB as well as Octave have object oriented capabilities. Yet, technically it is not fully an object oriented language.
An Object Oriented Language(OOL) has three components: 1. Polymorphism 2. Inheritance 3. Encapsulation
Octave can be extended by adding new objects. Those objects can overload the operators like e.g. assignment, slicing, comparison.
While in MATLAB, this can be done with m-script, in Octave new objects are implemented as C++ classes. A simple example of how objects can be added to Octave can be found here.

The Lugii (or Lugi, Lygii, Ligii, Lugiones, Lygians, Ligians, Lugians, or Lougoi) were an ancient tribe attested in the book Germania by the Roman historians such as Tacitus. They lived in ca. 400 BC–300 AD in Central Europe, north of the Sudetes mountains in the basin of upper Oder and Vistula rivers, covering most of modern south and middle Poland (regions of Silesia, Greater Poland, Mazovia and Little Poland). Most archaeologists identify the Lugians with the Przeworsk culture. While probably initially Celtic-dominated, the Lugii were regarded as Germanic by the end of the 1st century. The source of their power was control of the most important middle part of the Amber Road from Sambia at the Baltic Sea to the provinces of Roman Empire: Pannonia, Noricum and Raetia. A tribe of the same name, usually spelled as Lugi, inhabited the southern part of Sutherland in Scotland.

Tips for Planning Ahead this Flu Season
A frequently asked question about flu is, "What's the best way to plan ahead for flu season?" I took the opportunity to ask Dr. Rosenberg this very question and he provided me with some great information…which I am happy to share with you!
Dr. Rosenberg offered three simple steps for planning ahead for flu season – Get Vaccinated, Practice Good Hygiene, and Stay Home When Sick.
Here's a bit more info on each of those steps:
Get Vaccinated
The first and most important thing you can do for yourself and your family is to get vaccinated for seasonal flu.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), getting vaccinated is the single best way to help prevent seasonal flu. Children are a main source for spreading flu so make sure you get them vaccinated as soon as the vaccine is available, usually in September.
Practice Good Hygiene
Dr. Rosenberg explained the flu can spread through droplets that come from the nose and mouth, primarily through sneezing and coughing.
To avoid spreading germs he suggests being aware of the surfaces you touch and washing your hands frequently. Teach your kids to cover their mouth and nose when they sneeze or cough and remember to disinfect commonly used work surfaces after touching them.
If You're Sick, Stay Home!
This should be common sense, but it's really one of the best ways to prevent spreading illness to others.
If you or your children are sick, take the time to recover at home. It's better to stay home and recuperate than to go back to school or the office while still feeling under the weather and risk spreading your germs to others. Everyone will thank you for staying home!
Are their things that your office or child's school are doing to decrease the risk of getting sick?
I have a friend whose work offered the flu vaccination at a discounted rate to employees during the work day. She said her work also set up antibacterial gel pumps around to help prevent the spread of germs on people's hands.
For up-to-date, accurate information on seasonal flu and H1N1 ("swine flu"), feel free to browse the following sites:

Flu Basics: Remember the Three "F's" When Treating Your Child's Flu – Foods, Fluids, Fever
Having the flu isn't fun for anyone-but it can be especially rough on our kids. I asked Dr. Rosenberg what parents should know when treating a child with flu at home. He gave me some simple, easy to remember advice: the three "F's" – Foods, Fluids, and Fever.
Although children with the flu often can't stomach regular meals or just may not be hungry, they still need nourishment to keep their bodies strong to fight the illness. Try giving your child something that is light and can be easily digested. Options to try include rice, crackers, toast, soup, bananas or gelatin.
A fever can cause children to lose fluids more quickly than usual, so it's important to keep them well-hydrated while they are sick. Remember children may not always tell you when they are thirsty, so encourage them to drink throughout the day. Try sticking to light colored drinks like water, ginger ale, clear soda, or a sports drink.
Over-the-counter medications, such as Children's Tylenol, can help to ease the symptoms of the flu. Just remember to read and follow the label carefully to make sure you give the proper amount of medication to your children. I hope you find these tips from Dr. Rosenberg useful!
Feel free to leave your comments, suggestions or insights in the comments below.
For additional information and tips on treating a child with flu at home, you can also check out the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Web site at www.cdc.gov.
Here's to a speedy recovery!

I'm in New York City…
I'm currently in NYC for a busy and exciting two days participating in television interviews with Dr. Mark Rosenberg, associate professor in Clinical Pediatrics at Northwestern University, and offering helpful information on how to combat the flu this season.
Teaming up with Dr. Rosenberg has made me even more excited about this partnership and I can't wait to share with you all the tips and information you'll need this cold and flu season.
How to Tell the Difference…
Let's start with one question that I know is on many minds…
how to tell the difference between the common cold and the flu.
Dr. Rosenberg provided great insight, explaining that cold and flu symptoms are often very similar, because they both affect your upper respiratory tract — meaning your sinuses, nose and throat.
Remember, the flu can be caught at any point during the year, but it's more common during the winter months.
Tips to Safeguard Your Family
Here are some tips on ways to help safeguard your family from the flu:
- Stay hydrated: juices, herbal teas and canned soup are great to have on hand to keep you hydrated while still providing essential vitamins and minerals.
- Stock up on Tissues: using tissues helps prevent the spreading of airborne germs.
- Keep your immune system in check: eat balanced meals, incorporate daily exercise and get plenty of sleep.
- Disinfect: the most crucial way to prevent the spread of germs is to wash your hands or use hand sanitizers as often as possible; keep TV remote in a plastic baggie and change often; wipe phone receivers and computer keyboards down with alcohol on a cotton ball or other sanitizer after each person's use.
As we all know, it can be a challenge to get your kids excited about washing their hands, so I asked Dr. Rosenberg about it. He suggested practicing the following will help keep this from being a chore:
- Use playful soap, such as animal and fruit shapes or bright colors.
- Sing while you clean. Tell them to wash their hands for as long as it takes them to sing their ABCs or "Row, Row, Row Your Boat".
- Put cartoon stickers on soap dispensers so the characters can help "fight germs" with your kids.
Always make sure your kids use liquid or a clean bar of soap, scrub for 15-20 seconds, use warm, running water to rinse and dry their hands with a clean towel.

I also read, a doctors info, that drinking hot fluids helps kill the bactria in your throat were it likes to grow. It can't live in the stomack and drinking hot liquids breaks it down into your stomack.
So I have the family heat up their juices before they drink it. Mental note: don't use the mircowave. We all know that it kills the good nutrients. It might sound strange but drinking a hot cup of oj is comforting.
When my family got sick w/the flu 2 mths ago I proved that fact. I drank coffee for awhile and didn't get sick. They rest of the clan had temps of 101 and up.
This info came to me w/in that week. So everyone was drinking hot liquids and soaking in apple cidar vinager baths.
Works great.

Usefull info here. Many people find these symptoms the most commonf for swine flu:
* Fever
* Cough
* Sore throat
* Runny/stuffy nose
* Body aches
* Headaches
* Chills and fatigue
* Diarrhoea and vomiting
But this gives another, deeper insight, great article.

We have been diligent in keeping our immune systems strong. With everything I have read about the risks involved with the vaccine, I would not have anyone in my family take it!
We also use colloidal silver as a natural antibiotic. We use probiotics to keep the flora in our gut healthy. Fluids and wash hands!
Dr. Mercola has some great info about the risks with the vaccines! (www.mercola.com)

I've been trying to campaign to get concerned parents to pay attention to what schools are using to disinfect for H1N1. Many don't realize that cleaning supplies are often more hazardous than the H1N1virus itself. Here are some resources to help parents determine what their schools are using, and what they should be using: H1N1 in Schools and Environmental Working Group Report on Schools

I've always thought that Paracetamol was really the best way to lower down my son's fever. And often than not, it does work.
One time though, my son, who had a very high fever in the middle of the night refused taking the medicine. And no matter what we did, we just could not get him to take it (any advice by the way on how to make a toddler take medicine he doesn't want will be highly appreciated).
So what we did was just give him a lukewarm bath (which he didn't like either but was much easier to do) and then his fever didn't get any worse at all.
What striked me as odd was that with a bath, he wakes up with a very low fever the following morning. However, when he takes Paracetamol, he usually gets better for a few hours and then his fever goes up again.
I read somewhere that you should try not to lower down a fever too much as that is your body's defense mechanism.
Any one else has the same experience?

I like treating my children as naturally as possible.
Boiron Oscillococcinum, a homeopathic remedy for flu, seems to work really well for our family.
Any time my kids are sick we load up on grapefruit seed extract, too.
I have recently discovered my favorite cold remedy, Umcka Cold Care Soothing Hot Drink. The results, in my opinion, are amazing!!
For coughs I like to use Old Indian Wild Cherry Bark Syrup. For relief of congestion, I mix Eucalyptus essential oil drops into some coconut oil and rub onto my kids' chests at night. Eucalyptus oil can also be dropped into boiling water and used to purify the air.
Soaking in a lavender (essential oil mixed with some bath wash)bath can be relaxing and help reduce fever. My kids always ask for lavender baths when they are sick.
Well, these are just a few of the things I do when my children are sick. Hoping everyone is well for Christmas!

In September, he was involved in a domestic dispute with his estranged wife, Shellie, after she filed divorce papers. Neither was charged. Zimmerman has also been pulled over three times for traffic violations.
In 2005, he was ordered to take anger management classes after he allegedly attacked an undercover officer who was trying to arrest one of his friends, the AP reports.

For critics of the American economy, high-interest consumer credit cards are easy targets. They are near-universal whipping boys for the religious Left, who tend to assume that these credit cards are unjust. Poor people paying 20 percent interest on credit-card debt? That looks like usury.
Combine that assessment with frustrating experiences with credit card companies that we've all experienced, and you see why the "2009 Credit CARD (Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure) Act" passed without a lot of fanfare.
But of course, such moral assessments often rely on untutored moral intuition uninformed by economic analysis. Todd Zywicki of George Mason University has actually gone to the trouble of studying the disreputable forms of finance available to low income Americans and has discovered—surprise, surprise—that the Credit CARD Act has perverse unintended effects on many poor Americans.

Brookfield Office Properties Renews Normal Course Issuer Bid
Brookfield Office Properties Inc. ("Brookfield Office Properties") (BPO: NYSE/TSX) announced today that the Toronto Stock Exchange accepted a notice filed by Brookfield Office Properties of its intention to renew its prior normal course issuer bid for a further one-year period. Brookfield Office Properties stated that at times its common shares trade in price ranges that do not fully reflect their value. As a result, from time to time, acquiring common shares represents an attractive and a desirable use of available funds.
The notice provides that Brookfield Office Properties may, during the twelve month period commencing September 22, 2011 and ending September 21, 2012, purchase on the Toronto Stock Exchange and/or the New York Stock Exchange up to 12,584,851 common shares, representing approximately 2.5% of its issued and outstanding common shares. At September 8, 2011, there were 503,394,027 common shares issued and outstanding. In addition, Brookfield Office Properties has 14,202,000 Class A redeemable voting shares outstanding. Under the normal course issuer bid, Brookfield Office Properties may purchase up to 136,481 common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange during any trading day, which represents 25% of the average daily trading volume on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the most recently completed six calendar months prior to the Toronto Stock Exchange's acceptance of the notice of the normal course issuer bid. This limitation does not apply to purchases made pursuant to block purchase exemptions and purchases made on another exchange.
The price to be paid for the shares under the normal course issuer bid will be the market price at the time of purchase. The actual number of shares to be purchased and the timing of such purchases will be determined by Brookfield Office Properties, and all purchases of shares will be effected through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange and/or the New York Stock Exchange. All shares purchased by Brookfield Office Properties under this bid will be promptly cancelled.

Don't Miss This Exclusive
I think it is in your best interest to take advantage of this loophole right now, before any new laws are passed that could close this loophole forever.
We discontinued the 5 test equivalency exam.
As of September 1, 2014 there are no accredited online high schools that can offer an online equivalency test leading to a high school credential of any type. State law made this mandatory for every online high school.
You would have had to complete this before September 1, 2014 in order for it to be valid!
GREAT NEWS: Rather than offering an online equivalency program, Secret GED Loophole offers fully accredited online high schools that offers an adult high school diploma program 100% online. Our membership allows adult students the opportunity to select a school and pick up where they left off and to complete an accredited high school diploma online and at their own pace

Within sixty (60) days, if for any reason after trying my system, you feel you've been lied to, misled or misinformed, you can and will receive: A 100 % – 60 Day money back guarantee. Either it works or you pay nothing. I am so confident in the content and quality of my guide, if for any reason the degree you earn through this guide is not regionally accredited and accepted by an employer or college, ASK FOR A FULL REFUND!
We use Clickbank as our payment processor, they are reputable and well-known and are registered with the BBB, so rest assure all transactions are secure and fully backed by 100% Guarantee.

Forget the fact that Argentina is the richest country in South America. Forget that imports increased 400 percent from 1990 to 1993. And forget that Argentina is a world leader in privatization. What's really important is that U.S. exports to this South American country grew from $1.2 billion in 1990 to $4.1 billion in 1995--a trend that bodes well for entrepreneurs who want to break into this primed-and-ready market.
A variety of U.S. businesses are eyeing Argentina as a lucrative export destination. These include companies specializing in telecommunications equipment, oil and gas field machinery, construction and building materials, and electric power generation and transmission equipment.

This isn't just a vanity thing. Your abs are the main support system for your spine and the place where almost all movement in your body is initiated. With these easy core exercises, you have no more excuses for weak abs

Many people believe that doing crunches will give them tight, strong abdominals. However, if you think about your everyday movements, there are very few instances during the day when you are actually "crunching." There are, however, many moments when you are sitting, standing, or moving, and when your abdominal muscles are working to simply hold you upright. Because of this, exercises that allow you to work your abdominals isometrically (by holding a contraction for a period of time) are the most beneficial.
It is also important to work your oblique muscles (the ones on the side of your body that allow you to twist from side to side and turn in a different direction). Practicing exercises to mimic this twisting motion will help you perform everyday activities with greater strength and fewer injuries.
Remember to rest your abdominals between workouts, just like when you're training any other muscle group. Allow at least one day in between abdominal workouts for your muscles to rebuild and recover.

What are you tolerating in your life?
I realized that I skipped around a bit with Julia Stewart's Free Coach Training program, and completely forgot about the module – What Drives Your Client. Interestingly, it was probably the Universe or my Higher Self that allowed me to take this module right at this time.
A great exercise in this module is to List 20 things in your life that you are "tolerating." These are the things that are happening or that you are putting up with that aren't allowing your life to move forward, or to pull you forward.
Here's a portion of my list.
I'm Tolerating:
- Not having an organized office space at home
- Not having enough furniture to feel I could entertain guests
- Not having a clean or uncluttered space to meditate or do yoga
- How every flat surface in my apartment starts collecting piles of paper
So, these were all environmental influences on me that were keeping me a little stuck in feeling motivated. The clutter, disorganization, and arrangement of my living space just wasn't in line with how I wanted to live.
Now, I have a peculiar thing about me and "cleaning" the house. I have to do it when I'm ALONE in the house, and can't have an audience. Perhaps it's a result of growing up an only child and not accepting feedback ("you missed that spot", "Don't do it this way", etc), or I just have a mind that needs to quiet itself before I can dig into a complex task. At any rate, I was lucky over the weekend to have my partner visiting his parents out of town for a day!
I'm a person who needs to be "led" to a conclusion or decision, based on experience and observation. "Planning" and "organizing" the way others can do it, isn't my thing. So for about an hour I was moving my computer to different places in our 1-bedroom apartment, along with our second computer (an iMac that we use just for fun and to play music). I'd put these things in different places, sit next to them, bring along my tape measure, think, breathe, and take breaks.
Then I thought, "You know, the iMac would be great in the kitchen for looking up recipes online."
I took the iMac into the kitchen, and plopped it onto the kitchen table, and my whole perspective changed!
I was excited to find that our desk and kitchen table were exactly the same height off the ground! AND.. after measuring, I found that they PERFECTLY fit together in the dining area of our kitchen, making a great "corner desk" work area.
After completing the new work space for me in the dining area of the kitchen, I began sliding bookshelves of books around the apartment. I moved our shoe rack to the other side of the room, and opened up an entire corner of the entry/living area where I put down my yoga mat, pillows, drums, and blankets. I then moved one of our "flat surface abyss" end-tables to the front of the room near the shoes and created a mail sorting area, and filled up the rest of the surface with a bowl of stones, a sweetgrass braid, and a small globe light that I had stored in the closet. A brochure holder became our mail sorting rack.
Michael came home and just loved the place! Now I stream music from the iMac in the kitchen while cooking, cleaning, doing dishes, and making kombucha! What a difference sound can make!
Ironically, (and I believe that this is how the Universe works) the next day in our apartment building's "free stuff and give aways" area was sitting a comfy green and brown recliner. Michael grabbed this recliner and brought it up in the morning before I woke up, and did some more "refinement" to the living room, and now the space flows and fits together even more. We have extra seating, some new comfort, and the meditation area of the living space can also be adjusted into a reading area (we need a lamp and small table to materialize for this!).
The next day downstairs in the free givaways area was a nice low table, and I dug out of our closet a small lamp, fabric cover, a lace doile, candle, and placemat.
(Cue Twighlight Zone Music on my iMac!)
Here's how this turned out!
So, after being pulled forward to deal with "what I was tolerating" with my environment, making the first step into the unknown (placing the iMac on the kitchen table) caused a cascade of positive effects. Was it the Universe or Law of Attraction that placed the free chair for us downstairs in the lobby? Did my momentum also invite my partner to engage in the process as well? Whatever forces were at play, I'm just thrilled that within 24 hours I'm loving my living space again. I have music in the kitchen. I have less clutter. We have more furniture. I can meditate in an area again.
Most of all, our 1-Bedroom apartment feels bigger to me, because I'm traveling through it from the kitchen/office to the bathroom, to the bedroom, and I'm using the "whole" space. I'm no longer just in the living room with all the disorganization and clutter. What's also so great about this? It didn't have to buy anything! There's the power of FREE at work!
Now onto the next things I'm "tolerating" in life!
