Does the sight of soap bubbles, aerated chocolate or a lotus flower seed pod bring you out in a cold sweat and make you feel panicky? If so, you could be a sufferer of one of the most common phobias you have never heard of – trypophobia, or the fear of holes.
For trypophobes, the sight of clusters of holes in various formations can cause intensely unpleasant reactions – from serious migraines and panic attacks to hot sweats and increased heart rate.
New research by visual science experts Dr Geoff Cole and Professor Arnold Wilkins from the University of Essex suggests that trypophobia may occur as a result of a specific visual feature also found among various poisonous animals. The findings are published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science.
"These findings suggest that there may be an ancient evolutionary part of the brain telling people that they are looking at a poisonous animal," explained Dr Cole.
Although trypophobia has been widely documented by sufferers on the internet, it is still hardly known about and was only recently accepted by Wikipedia, who thought it was a hoax entry.
In one study, the Essex research team found that 16 per cent of participants reported trypophobic reactions. Despite this, there has been little scientific investigation of the phenomenon, leading Dr Cole to refer to trypophobia – which he suffered from himself – as "the most common phobia you have never heard of".
The research involved establishing if there was a specific visual feature common to trypophobic objects. They compared 76 images of trypophobic objects (obtained from a trypophobia website) with 76 control images of holes not associated with trypophobia. After standardising various features of the images, the researchers found that the trypophobic objects had relatively high contrast energy at midrange spatial frequencies in comparison to the control images. They had the same visual structure as stripes, which also cause migraines for some people.
The scientists then wanted to find out why this unique visual feature led to such aversive reactions. One trypophobia sufferer provided Dr Cole with a clue - he had seen an animal that caused him to experience a trypophobic reaction.
The animal in question, the blue-ringed octopus, is one of the most poisonous animals in the world, which led Dr Cole to a "bit of a Eureka moment".
He and Professor Wilkins analysed images of various poisonous animals – including the blue-ringed octopus, deathstalker scorpion, king cobra snake, and other poisonous snakes and spiders and found that they, too, tended to have relatively high contrast at midrange spatial frequencies.
The researchers at Essex concluded that trypophobia may have an evolutionary basis – clusters of holes may be aversive because they happen to share a visual feature with animals that humans have learned to avoid as a matter of survival.
"We think that everyone has trypophobic tendencies even though they may not be aware of it," said Dr Cole. "We found that people who don't have the phobia still rate trypophobic images as less comfortable to look at than other images. It backs up the theory that we are set-up to be fearful of things which hurt us in our evolutionary past. We have an innate predisposition to be wary of things that can harm us."
As for a cure for trypophobia, Dr Cole suggests what worked with him – he looked at the images so often he became desensitised to them.
In further research, the team from Essex are now exploring whether manipulating the spectral characteristics of images of everyday objects, like watches, leads people to prefer one object over another. They believe these experiments will shed light on just how ingrained trypophobic tendencies might be.

Humans matter.
We make things: tables, chairs…deals, dinner, trouble, our way, friends, good time, enemies, waves … the list goes on and on. Making is our way of being in the world. Making is a way of outering or uttering what we know, feel, believe, desire. Our objects --both made, bought and gifted-- become our milestones, and our millstones.
Making is creating order and --disorder-- patterns and --new patterns--on the materials around us. These patterns, textures, forms are the ways we try to understand who we are and how and why we are changing. Making is as fundamental as breathing. Making is both an in-breath and an outbreath. doing and undoing. It's a process, a practice, not an end in itself. It is a way to explore the less obvious, less accessible parts of ourselves. We can make our way into the unconscious. We can develop objects and tools to help us know better the fleeting, shadowy, elusive parts of ourselves which nonetheless carry great power over our actions. As my teacher Al once said, "As above, so Below. Those objects are the R&D of our daily life. Make more!"
Imaginal Artifacts are objects which resemble tools, furniture, art, but perform ambiguous and changing functions. They are the work of the bricoleur, that imaginal artisan who senses that certain objects are looking to get into the material world to do their work. He helps that process by finding the materials and the forms for that to happen. The objects are familiar and strange; precious and common; fragile and durable; timeless and ephemeral. Dan has been making such objects for years. They were misnamed "sculpture". He is currently exploring five forms:
Since 2004, Dan has been collecting pieces of water-worn bark from the banks of the Hudson River. Working with the natural patina and textures of the bark, he carves away to reveal human-like features.
These are playing card-size collages done in a light meditational mood. Someone called them "psychic flypaper".
Devices to explore, direct and concentrate enegy.
These resemble tools and actually help identify the task they are needed for.
First, Make the Tool and then see what purpose it assists with.
Common small stones carved and shaped with a pocketknife and smoothed with sandpaper. It's another form of Intuitive Making: based in the casual, immediate, simple... er, "mindfull"?
I have been trying out different fillings. After Hurricane Irene demolished our local farming community, I put a rotting onion in a gumball machine and for a Quarter, you could get a handful of putrid air... (I raised $3.25 in Relief Money.)
In keeping with my interest in Surrealism, I have filled a one with do-dads. For a quarter, you get between 10 and 16 of them. It's a form of working with accident and chance...
These exercises are explorations in the power of making objects. Nothing requires any special skills in construction, design, art or craft. They do require the ability to recognize your own moods, feelings, distresses and joys.
First, Meet Your Gang, Your Posse, The Mob, Tribe, Pack, Cast.
Who are they? What's a very familiar voice? Who's always overlooked? Why do they need Imaginal Artifacts? Are there other creatures of nature as part of you?
Second, What are your Tasks?
Develop a list of tasks that might benefit from an Imaginal Artifact.
Tools and Cards are simply ways to attract and concentrate energy to help with a task. Do you need help to:
Remember BE Remembered Forget
Contact Someone Finish Something Get More Air
Get Grounded Get Started on Something Get More
Reveal an old s'elf Reveal a new s'elf
Keep things the way they are Make things the way they were
Make things the way they should be
Identify what's missing Find the missing
Make gifts for family or strangers Make memento mori, grave markers
Make directional markers, compasses
Things you now know you'll never do: deliver milk in rural France
What's the Other Side?
Memories of nature Fears blessings
Third, Start by picking Materials, Colors, Textures and Shapes you like or really, really hate.
"All beauty is a making one of opposites, and the making one of opposites is what we are going after in ourselves." Eli Siegel
- Use at least three elements in any artifact.
- Consider combining what may seem like opposites…
- Do a few at once so no one becomes too important
- Try not to over-think the work; Just do it; Do it again
- Watch other people and learn from them
STUCK? Here are a few more suggestions

LG Sciences: NEW Liquid Methyl 1-D: A Powerfull Mass Producing Legal Prohormone!
Methyl 1-D Now Contains TWO Powerfull Prohormones:
17beta-[1-ketoethyl]-androstane-3beta,17alpha-diol is the newest prohormone to be added to Methyl 1-D and it's one that people are raving about! The reports are increased vascularity and increased strength with this prohormone!
3b-hydroxyandrost-5-ene-17-one has been a staple part of our Methyl 1-D for over 6 years. It has been proven in the gym hundreds of thousands of times and will be a prohormone you use as the "test base" of your stack.
Liquid Delivery - Better Than Sublingual Tablets...WAY Better Than Capsules...
Regular Methyl 1-D is great, but it's been out a long time and LG Sciences realized they needed to make it better, much better! They wanted a product that would not only rival the old kit, but actually beat it in performance and results. The best way to do that is to take the absolute best ingredients out of the kit and make it even much more bioavailable.
The mouth is amazing for absorbing steroid hormones! In fact it is a very good organ for absorbing most supplements. There are two major reasons that supplements don't work for many people. First is simply not everything works for everyone and second, but most important is getting the ingredients INTO the body in an efficient manner.
The mouth is one big membrane. The cheeks and under the tongue are the most efficient, but as anyone who's ever "dipped" tobacco knows the gums also delivery nutrients into your system VERY efficiently. Capsules simply bypass this important absorption site all together and under the tongue tablets only take advantage of one small spot in the mouth. That's why liquids are so superior to tablets and capsules. Unlike tablets that take 8-10 minutes to dissolve. The liquids need only be held in the mouth for 60 seconds to take advantage of the benefits of oral absorption!

The Best Credit Cards, January 2013
As the new year begins, it's a good opportunity to review the best credit card offers available and see which - if any - make sense for you. The best credit cards of 2013 offer a combination of sign-up bonuses, reward programs, low-APR promotional periods, and other benefits that can be used to your advantage if you pay attention.
When used properly, credit cards can be an effective tool for managing your finances, earning rewards on everyday spending, building a solid credit history, and maintaining your cash flow, but these tools can be also used incorrectly, damaging your finances in the process.
Consider the following offers if you plan to open a new credit card or if you're looking to make the most out of your everyday spending. But if you are a "Type A" credit card user - if you use credit cards to spend more than you can afford and have difficulty making payments - consider improving your finances and getting out of debt before applying for a new credit card.
The best card for balance transfers
Slate® from Chase. Right now, the best credit card offer for balance transfers is Slate from Chase. Open a card with an offer like this when you have a balance on a card with a high interest rate that you'd like to pay off without owing additional interest. For example, if you have a $15,000 balance on a card with an ongoing APR of 15%, you could save $2,250 by moving that balance to Slate from Chase and paying the remainder of the $15,000 before the introductory period ends.The introductory period is fifteen months, during which time you'll be able to pay your transferred balances off without any interest. While Slate from Chase and other cards generally charge a balance transfer fee, in the 60 days after being approved for Slate from Chase, you'll be able to transfer your balance without a fee. After those 60 days have passed, the balance transfer fee is $5 or 3% of the transfer, whichever is greater.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
Back in 2002, FOX tried to bring an original show to the air in the form of Firefly. Based some five-hundred years in the future, it focused on a ship of outcasts who flew about the galaxy trying to avoid both sides of the law. They fly aboard a transport ship called "Serenity", and seek to make money by transporting things across the galaxy. Piloted by Captain Malcolm Reynolds, the show depicts the deep stories and exciting adventures that the ship and its crew encounter. It was a premise that didn't catch on enough in its first run, and FOX ended up giving up on the show fare before its time. The only thing that saved it from going into oblivion was the fans, who came out in droves supporting the show and its cast. Though it didn't help the future of the show, the cult following got enough support behind them that a film was made to appease their hunger. A few years later, Serenity would hit the big screen.
Reynolds wasn't the only notable character on the ship, but he was one that was given a great back-story as a Sergeant who fought during the recent wars, but ended up on the wrong side when it was over. His crews on Serenity was first mate Zoe (who was also a veteran), Zoe's husband Hoban Washbourne (Wash) who was the pilot, the mechanic Kaylee, a preacher named Shepard Book, a doctor named Simon, a psychic named River, the resident tough guy Jayne, and the eye candy of Inara. Together, they form a pretty interesting crew that is going to have to keep performing transport jobs to make ends meet, and even while they come across enemies in their daily business, they are still on the run from the group that won the war; The Alliance. The problem is that the ship, much like you would expect, is always finding trouble, and in that regard both action and intrigue are always just a step behind the crew.
Firefly was brought to the small screen by creator Joss Whedon, whose past accomplishments had included Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. To say the least, he knew how to put a good show together, and with the help of some talented writers, the idea seemed like one that could sustain a show for many years to come. The problem was that not enough fans tuned in immediately, and the audience ended up slipping a little through the first few episodes. Things didn't improve, and FOX pulled the plug after only 11 episodes of Firefly had even aired. It was an abrupt end to the show, and caught a lot of die-hard fans by surprise, after having fallen in love with both the show and its premise. Too late, FOX came to realize that there was indeed a strong-following for the show, and that was why the film and DVD sets for the show itself were released.
The DVD set for Firefly contains all 14 episodes of the show, including those that were not originally shown on the air. It serves as a great series to own if you were either a fan of the series or love to watch science fiction. The show was like nothing else on television at the time, and could have still been going strong if FOX hadn't pulled the plug on them so early. Now all that's left is the film, and this DVD set that contains all the episodes as well as several bonus features to go along with it. Many argue that this is one of the best series to ever be cancelled in its first season, and while that isn't exactly saying a lot in comparison to other shows, I think it rings true as much as anything else that can be said about the show. Firefly was that unique blend of science fiction, action, and a great ensemble cast that simply made watching each episode extremely fun. Give yourself a treat if you love science fiction, because this set is sure to entertain.
Some of The Cast:
Nathan Fillion -- Mal Reynolds
Gina Torres -- Zoe Washburne
Alan Tudyk -- Wash
Adam Baldwin -- Jaybe Cob
Summer Glau -- River Tam

Article ID: 942970 - View products that this article applies to.
Consider the following scenario:
This problem occurs because the user account that you use to log on to the computer and to upgrade the computer to Windows Vista has credentials with insufficient access. This prevents the installation process from reading the access control entries (ACEs) of certain objects. Therefore, these ACEs are not migrated to Windows Vista. Additionally, the ACEs appear to be reset in Windows Vista. Therefore, the user no longer has access to these folders and files.
To resolve this problem, add the ACEs back to the folders and to the files after you upgrade the computer to Windows Vista. To do this, follow these steps.

Google accuses Apple and Microsoft of teaming up to strangle Android
David Drummond, Senior VP and Chief Legal Officer at Google, has posted a diatribe against Apple and Microsoft, both competitors against Google's Android platform. "Microsoft and Apple have always been at each other's throats, so when they get into bed together you have to start wondering what's going on," Drummond writes.
What's going on according to Drummond? It's "a hostile, organized campaign against Android by Microsoft, Oracle, Apple and other companies, waged through bogus patents." Some of those said "bogus" patents, it bears mentioning, were subject to a US$900 million opening bid from Google, a bid the company later lost to a consortium of companies including Apple and Microsoft. Just saying, $900 million is a lot of money to put on the table for something that's bogus.
"Patents were meant to encourage innovation, but lately they are being used as a weapon to stop it," Drummond says. I can't argue with that -- Lodsys immediately comes to mind -- but is he trying to tell us that Google would never leverage the Nortel patents against Apple and Microsoft if the bidding had gone the other way? Indeed, that seems to be exactly what he's saying when he accuses competitors of "fighting through litigation" instead of "competing by building new features or devices."
"Unless we act, consumers could face rising costs for Android devices - and fewer choices for their next phone," Drummond says. It's hard for me to read this, or the rest of Drummond's piece, without translating it thus: Google is scared.
The question is, should Google be scared? That depends on a few things: the strength of the Nortel patents, any possible regulatory intervention in the purchase of those patents, Apple and/or Microsoft's willingness to actively pursue patent claims and "strangle" Android, and finally, the courts' determination as to whether or not Google has violated those patents. It's pretty obvious on casual inspection that Google hasn't been innovating in a vacuum, however, so if Apple or Microsoft actually are intent on "strangling" the free ride Android's had so far, then maybe Google should be exactly as scared as it sounds.

Sunday 14 July 2013
Southampton left-back Luke Shaw has signed a new five-year contract at the club.
The signing was done on Friday, his 18th birthday, and Shaw, who has been at Southampton since he was 8, was delighted.
"I've come back very, very fit and better than last season, so I can't wait to get started"
Luke Shaw
"I'm very pleased to have finally signed it," Shaw, who made 25 appearances in the Barclays Premier League last season, said. "I committed myself back in January, and I'm glad everything has been sorted out.
"I've been getting a lot of questions about my future, but all of the Saints fans will have known that I committed my future in January. The players, the staff, the medical team and the fitness coaches have all helped me come this far.
"The manager has done a lot for me – especially for my fitness – and this year is going to be a big year for me. I've come back very, very fit and better than last season, so I can't wait to get started."
Southampton have also announced that Lloyd Isgrove has signed a new contract at the club. Isgrove was a regular for Southampton in the Barclays Under-21 Premier League, making 17 appearances and scoring four goals. The 20-year-old midfielder made his first-team debut in the Capital One Cup last season and is looking to make more senior appearances this forthcoming campaign.
"I've been in the Development Squad for a couple of years, and now the next stage is to try and push on and get into the First Team," Isgrove said. "I've signed this contract because I want to get into the squad."

Houston-based Concierge Travel has announced plans for what's billed as the first gay and lesbian cruise on the Amazon River in Peru.
The seven-night sailing will take place on Aqua Expeditions' 24-passenger river ship Aqua and kick off on Oct. 27, 2012.
Starting in Iquitos, Peru, the voyage will include time on the three biggest tributaries of the Amazon, with excursions to explore the river zone's diverse flora and fauna. Concierge is promising day trips to see the Victoria Regia (the worlds largest water lily) and exotic animals, and for fishing and jungle walking, among other activities.

Designed by a Peruvian architect for Aqua Expeditions, the three-year-old, 130-foot-long Aqua was the first luxury cruise ship on the Peruvian Amazon. The vessel has 12 large suites, a lounge and a dining room.
Fares for the Amazon voyage start at $6,250 per person, based on double occupancy.
Concierge Travel, which bills itself as the largest gay-owned travel agency and tour operator in Texas, specializes in organized trips for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
More information on the cruise is available at Concierge Travel's website, conciergetravel.cc.

Everyone seems to be bashing and blaming Israel for all the recent spike in bloodshed. I truly want to thank the Three Musketeers for what they wrote in "Enemies of Israel should think twice," (Daily News, Aug. 4). They shed some true light on the subject.
Stephen Hodgson went as far as stating that we should demand our weapons back from Israel and attack if they don't respond. Boy, did I see red and couldn't believe people in my own town, Galveston, were so much against the Jews.

How-to Save a Flash Video
Linux Journal's Mitch Frazier demonstrates how to save a local copy of a flash video when you don't have a save option.
What is he saying at :39? I
What is he saying at :39? I cannot understand him.
yet another simple way
I usually use download helper plugin for Firefox because I did not know how easy it was to do it in the manner described above.
Bash Script to save videos
I wrote a script to do this for me and it also brings up a dialog box to have you name it.
Create a new file and name it whatever (mine is called "Flash Video.sh")
Put this in the file
name=$(zenity --entry --height=100 --width=300 --title="Name your Video" --text="Please change to desired name ")
cp /tmp/Fla* ~/Videos/"$name"
Now set the file permissions for it.
$ sudo chmod 755 filename
and store this file in ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/
I then made a custom application launcher and added it to my top panel. All you have to do is direct it to the script in the COMMAND box (mine shows ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/Flash\ Video.sh) and make it an Application (not application in Terminal)
Without Adobe flash...
If you don't want to install the proprietary flash plugin, swfdec works very well as a free software Flash replacement (better than Gnash, in my experience) and gives you the option in its context menu to save the video in cases where Adobe's plugin wouldn't.
If you don't want to install any flash plugin at all, youtube-dl from the command line works too.
Another way to save without copying
I normally create a hard link for the Flashxxxx file in the same file system so that it doesn't occupy any extra space. I use the following command to create the hard link
ln Flashxxxx Song.flv
One can do that if they don't have extra free space in their system.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

The Impact of the Cato Institute
For over 30 years, the Cato Institute has worked to change the climate of ideas. The cumulative effect of this effort is real impact today. Here's how Cato puts Sponsors' contributions to work.
From the Los Angeles Times.
It works on so many levels.
On August 24th, the Attorneys General of 17 states sent a letter [PDF] to the founder and CEO of the Craigslist online platform, to "request" that they take down the "Adult Services" section of the site. The link to that section of the site now stands with a "CENSORED" label over the place where the link stood.
On the TechLiberationFront blog, Ryan Radia has a good write-up, including the legal protections Craigslist enjoys under federal law as a provider of an "interactive computer service." The AGs undoubtedly know that could not directly shut down Craigslist. They wouldn't have a legal leg to stand on if they attacked the site for the behavior of its users. But they also know that publically badgering Craigslist can win them political points and cut into the site's image, profits, and ultimately, perhaps, viability. Several Attorneys General have doggedly asked Craigslist to patrol the behavior of its millions of users, never satisfied with the company's efforts.
The turning point seems to have been a CNN "ambush" interview with Craigslist founder Craig Newmark in which reporter Amber Lyon sprung a terrific gotcha line, calling Craigslist "the Wal-Mart of online sex trafficking." It's a sound-bite with just enough truth: In a community of millions of people, there may be some such trafficking.
Newmark is an unusual character in any world, but especially in media and politics. He is meek, soft-spoken, and utterly guileless. A part of West-Coast tech's recent interest in East-Coast government and politics, Newmark sought me ought a few months ago for a wide-ranging, ambling, and—for those reasons—charming chat.
Newmark was utterly caught off guard by the interview with the CNN reporter. The tape rolls through painfully awkward moments when Newmark remains simply silent or paces around, making him look stupid, mendacious, or both. (His comment on the interview is here, to which Lyon responds in the video linked above at "ambush.")
The AGs smelled blood in the water. Their letter pounces on Craigslist and Craig Newmark's inartful performance.
So the next step is the "CENSORED" block on Craigslist's "Adult Services" section. Perhaps it's meant to engender support for First Amendment rights, and to an extent it has. Early returns show support for Craigslist. But it may also create an expectation that large Web sites on which a tiny minority of people abuse speech rights to plan and execute crime may lose their speech protections themselves.
In case it needs pointing out, shutting down a Web site, or the portion of a Web site, on which people plan crime will only move crime to other places on the Internet. The cost to free speech in the AGs' badgering of Craigslist vastly outweighs the infinitesimal crime-prevention benefit.
The Attorneys General sacrificing speech this way are: Richard Blumenthal (D) of Connecticut (a candidate for U.S. Senate), Dustin McDaniel (D) of Arkansas, Lawrence G. Wasden (R) of Idaho, Lisa Madigan (D) of Illinois, Tom Miller (D) of Iowa, Steve Six (D) of Kansas, Douglas F. Gansler (D) of Maryland, Mike Cox (R) of Michigan, Jim Hood (D) of Mississippi, Chris Koster (D) of Missouri, Michael A. Delaney (D) of New Hampshire, Richard Cordray (D) of Ohio, Patrick C. Lynch (D) of Rhode Island, Henry McMaster (R) of South Carolina, Robert E. Cooper, Jr. (D) of Tennessee, Greg Abbott (R) of Texas, and Kenneth T. Cuccinelli, II (R) of Virginia.

"Was very happy with the whole process of selection, ordering, review and finished product. I wanted to add an extra line into the text and spoke to someone on the phone who explained how to include it. The proof review was very quickly emailed and the shower invitations arrived even sooner than I expected. It was a pleasure."
"I was very pleased with the total experience. The company was easy to work with and I was extremely pleased with the invitation. I was giving another shower soon after this one and knew I was going to use the Wedding Paper Divas. So hapy with this company."
"Very pretty invitations. I received many compliments. The standard matte paper was a nice weight. I liked the option of changing the edges. They shipped very quickly too. I was very happy with this choice."
"This was my first purchase from Wedding paper divas. Prices are excellent. I was able to modify both the color and the wording (Changed "Bridal" shower to "Lingerie" Shower) on my invitation. Invitations came quickly. Would definitely purchase from here again."
"These invitations are perfect! I got the pearl finish on the paper and it really gives it a very expensive look. I added a photo on the back and the quality and color of the image is spot on. The ordering process was easy, cost was fair and delivery was quick. I can't wait for everyone to see them! Great job Wedding Paper Divas!!!"

No contact visits were allowed at Hutto—relatives had to sit behind Plexiglas partitions and talk through phones in the old prison visiting room. In any case, few relatives visited, since Hutto was so far from where most of them lived. Deka Warsame, a Somali woman, was detained at Hutto for four months, along with her …

Two years ago, California effectively eliminated dental health care benefits available to the 3 million citizens covered under its public healthcare program. Although some services are still available, this policy change forced a large number of residents with lower incomes to neglect their oral health until it became unavoidable, simply to save money.According to the Los Angeles Times, in numerous cases, dental problems experienced by those lacking coverage had to reach the severity of rotting teeth or infections that spread to other parts of the body and endangered their life, while also causing excruciating pain.The news source reports that this problem is by no means exclusive to California. Both the casual neglect of dental care and the occasional systemic difficulties of dental insurance - from private insurers or government programs - are issues that have been present in the U.S. for some time, often hitting the economically disadvantaged harder than any other group.Frederick P. Rivara, M.D., a Seattle pediatrician who supervised a National Institute of Medicine report on U.S. dental care issues, believes doctors can work together to improve existing problems."Oral health isn't just the responsibility of dentists," he told the news source. "There is a real need to have other healthcare providers involved."The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research states that only 25 percent of U.S. adults aged 20 to 64 claim to have excellent oral health.For more information on discount dental plans call 1-888-632-5353.

"They're not loopholes! They're special rules for the people who go to the effort of finding them!"Rules Lawyers come in different flavors; from Lawful Evil, Lawful Good or Lawful Stupid, although the term usually carries a negative connotation. What all versions have in common is a nigh-encyclopedic knowledge of every single aspect of the rules within the game system. The difference between the three is largely down to attitude and how it affects the overall game. Lawful Evil Rules Lawyers manipulate the rules to give themselves advantages even if it ruins the game for everyone else, Lawful Stupid Rules Lawyers will always insist on following the rules even when it's to the detriment of fun, while Lawful Good Rules Lawyers play by the rules even if that puts them at a disadvantage, and generally try to use the rules to make things more fun for everyone. The Lawful Evil Rules Lawyer, which is also called a "Rule Shark", is a particularly annoying kind of player who believes that because he can find a rule about some action in one of the manuals, the Game Master is bound to allow him to take that action, even if it doesn't make sense, or would screw with what's going on. He's convinced that, with the power of the rules, he can outmaneuver the GM and get what he wants. He will attempt to employ every loophole, every odd circumstance, and every footnote he can. Expect the Rule Shark to have pored over most of the manuals, even those that players aren't supposed to read. Most annoyingly, he seems to remember only the parts that support whatever he's doing at that moment, intentionally ignoring whatever doesn't support his own case, and usually bringing it up when he's threatened in some way. Such people will insist on Exact Words wherever necessary. Usually, the first rule the Rules Lawyer conveniently "forgets" while making his arguments is Rule Zero: that the GM is always right. Squashing him with this early is the best bet; attempting to argue about rules with him only encourages his behavior. If invoked, he might dare to argue that Rule Zero is an unwritten rule, despite it being a foundation of good play. One of the basic tactics of Munchkins everywhere, and part of the reason some games in fact have a Metagame. They are among the few people who Read the Fine Print. See My Rule-Fu Is Stronger Than Yours for the argument that is going to happen with the GM at some point. If a rule in a book ever seems to be written rather verbosely, or explain things that seem like common sense, it's the writers trying to stop these guys. The Lawful Stupid Rules Lawyer is incompetent instead of malicious. They'll constantly grind play to a halt to make sure that everyone is following the rules even if the end result would be the same anyway. They won't allow any technique that isn't specified in said rules to be used, causing the game to become rigid. If the GM decides to make some well designed and balanced homebrews than this lawyer will start throwing a fit. However, this trope does come in a positive variant referred to as the Lawful Good Rules Lawyer: they always stick to the rules, no matter how bad it might be for them personally. And they'll point out exactly the proper rules that state that, no, they didn't escape the deathtrap, they died. Conversely, in a tabletop setting, the rules are the Player Characters' primary means of interacting with the world, and if a GM is constantly changing the rules mid-game, the players cannot play. Gaming groups must, by necessity, be a mutually policing force. Sometimes a Rules Lawyer is necessary when the GM is repeatedly sending waves and waves of homebrewed mooks who are immune to everything except the powers of that one super duper archmage the GM has been writing a novel about for the last seven years and if you try to fight them without the archmage GMPC, you die. No save. In this instance, the Rules Lawyer is one check against GM misbehavior, as in a healthy gaming group, the GM is answerable to the players as much as the players are answerable to the GM, because it is everybody's game. A Lawful Good Rules Lawyer can also be a valuable thing to have in your gaming group if one or more of the players in your gaming group cheats or doesn't RTFM. Even when the rest of the group is on the level, the fact that a Rules Lawyer will, by definition, know all of the rules can make them useful for a gaming group as the ultimate natural language database.

Card.io looking to take a different path in the mobile payment race
It seems fairly inevitable at this point that our mobile devices will be our wallets as we move forward, but we have to remember that there are two different types of mobile payments and both are taking a different path. The big buzz right now is for NFC which seems poised to dominate the point-of-sale (POS) transactions, but there is also e-commerce transactions to consider.
The way it would work is that developers would use the card.io SDK to add the system to their app, then once in the app when you want to pay for your purchase, you just hold your credit card up to your phone's camera, the card will be scanned and the info entered and sent securely. Card.io wouldn't give numbers, but said that the "vast majority" of card scans will be accurate. And, as far as security, your card info would be sent with 128-bit SSL encryption, and the scanned image of your card would never be stored.
Right now, the card.io SDK is available for iOS, with an Android SDK coming soon. Card.io is most interested in developers in e-commerce, local, travel, ticketing and daily deals to add the functionality to their apps first.

My response to the Washington Post Article:
http://bit.ly/bw63RpHere comes the first of the stories that will inundate America for months unless we chose to speak out about more and more people who are loosing benefits, homes, hope, faith in this Country. Please contact your local news paper(s), congress people, anyone you can think of. More and more people are falling off the unemployment statistics making them invisible to everyone. Except to those who want them anywhere but in their towns, want them to have no food or help from groups nongovernmental or governmental. The people who are screaming about the lowering of property values from "bums" walking around or trying to catch a little sleep.They are called smelly and dirty. They are. They have no where to bathe or clean their clothes. They are called parasites who are sucking "us" dry because they are lazy and don't want to work. They are called disgusting because they dumpster dive for food so they don't starve. The are called crazy and they should be locked up. Spend a year on the streets and then talk about all of the above.What will those very Unchristians people say when their families their friends and they themselves wind up on the streets? Will they insist they aren't like "those people"? I'm sure they will. What will they say about getting a job when they can't keep themselves and their clothes clean? What will they say when they try to get help at all those government agencies who's budget they radically cut, who they wanted closed and they are turned away because "we just don't have the funds any more?"All of the "jobs" that are allegedly being taken by illegal aliens aren't taken by Americans when they fall open but that will change. Scrubbing toilets for minimum wage is better than the alternatives.I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take anymore. When someone starts blaming illegals and lazy people who don't want to work, I will give them facts and figures. When politicians say what ther polls say they should instead of the truth I will speak out with facts and figures. WILL YOU?
The citizens of Orlando have a temporary victory. Charity groups can no longer feed homeless people in parks. Seems that the people around the parks are more worried about property values than helping other human beings.When more of those good upstanding citizens loose their jobs, and any unemployment they may get for a short time, they're going to be hoping someone give them something to eat. When their "friends" turn them away because they can't be seen with a failure, what then? When more people are on the street than in homes due in part at least to the lack of charity and compassion in this land what then? When parents and children walk the streets because there is no place for them what then? When mothers and fathers watch their children slowly dying from starvation in a nation that throws out more food than some countries have total what then? It seem to me that people are being driven to a French revolutionary solution. The right wingers want to go back to Biblical law just like the Founding Fathers wanted this country to be (except for some strange reason they didn't use biblical law in creating the Declaration or the Constitution this country) what then? All the women who worked for this to happen from Sara Palin on down will be at home with their hair covered. Slaves to the men who conned them into fighting for a system meant to return them to the status of something men own. What then?
Mrs. Mary Landrum
President Barak Obama
White House
1600 Pennsylvania AV, NW
Washington, D. C. 20500
Dear Mr. President,
I read with growing horror about the PETRA bill HUD is proposing. It is a terrible idea, and I find it absolutely shocking that your administration should be the one urging privatization of public housing.
Based on the bill it self, "...provide the opportunity for public housing agencies and private owners to convert from current forms of rental assistance under a variety of programs to long-term, property-based contracts that will enhance market-based discipline and enable owners to sustain operations and leverage private financing to address immediate and long-term capital needs and implement energy-efficiency improvements."
I know little about reading long and complex legal arguments or proposed bills, but even I can see what that means to public housing. It means hundred of thousands of people on the streets, homeless nation wide.
The people who will benefit from this proposal will be private investors who can force people out and then get paying customers in. They'll make a bundle. The banks will benefit from the mortgages they will supply.
I can promise you, with an income of $10,000.00 a year, I can not possibly afford a rent increase of 10% above market rates, a criminal figure by the way. I understand that the difference will be paid by the Government, but Mr. President, why would you want the government to pay more that it has to?
Given the anti-poor bias growing in this country you must certainly believe that the proposed program will be cut back again and again forcing people like me to pay more and more of their income to the blood suckers who take over.
Will you be paying my rent then? As a tax payer, for a while yes. Can my family and I move in with yours when we're homeless? What about other families, do you think they can live in or on rich people's property?
I have always thought of you as intelligent and compassionate. One reason I voted for you was your work in Chicago. Why are you making a mockery of that success?
I can't understand why your administration above all would propose this law. Not even Bush was that cruel for all of his distain of anyone making less then six figures a year. Is it a secret deal for getting the finance bill or health care through? What good is health care reform if thousands of people just here in Nashville are homeless? Is it a secret deal for the banks now that they've lost the financial bill that you recently signed?
Mr. President, help me to understand you radical shift to the right. I didn't vote for George Bush part three. I voted for a man who had high principals and a desire to return America to the land of the free with liberty and justice for all.
If this bill goes through those sentiments will be a lie. Stop this insanity now, before it's far too late and you legacy is tarnished beyond redemption.
We've already gone through a great depression but even people who lost their house had a way to stay off the streets with public housing. If this bill becomes law that will no longer be true.
I remain hopeful, sir please don't destroy that hope.
