The corporate offices of VoicePro® are located on the east side of Cleveland, Ohio, in the middle of the Great Lakes snow-belt. Needless to say we drive on icy roads….a lot. Still, years of winter driving experience can't save us from black ice, the thin coating of ice on an asphalt road.
Hitting a patch of black ice triggers a scene right out of an action movie.
The brakes screech, the car veers, your heart races, and panic strikes—until you remember one of your earliest driving lessons: steer into the skid. You make the correction and soon the vehicle is back on track. Your heartbeat slows and once again all is well.
Have you ever made a mistake during a presentation? The feelings are strangely similar. Here are three ways to steer into the skid and avoid driving into a metaphorical ditch.
What do you do when you see debris in the road? Steer around it. What do you do when your car drifts off the road? Get back between the lines. Now what do you do when you hit a patch of ice?
There's a reason we're taught to steer into the skid. Our first reaction is to steer away from it.
We have a strong instinct to rush in and try to rectify our mistakes immediately, but doing so can lead to avoidable errors. One verbal stumble easily becomes five when you're rushing through your material.
Take a moment to pause and collect your thoughts, and then move forward. The actions you take will be more reasoned and the flow of your presentation will remain intact.
I will always respect race car drivers for their grace under pressure. Despite ten car pileups, and a car spinning out of control, their radio communications also sound calm and reasoned. Based upon their vocal tone you'd never guess their car was on fire.
When you're in front of a group, even a tiny mistake feels equally monumental.
I was once in a show that required my character to cut himself with his sword. When the moment came, the flimsy plastic sword broke on my hand and three pieces flew across the stage. I was mortified.
However, after a brief pause I looked at the sword and pretended to marvel at my strength. No one in the audience was the wiser and the unintentional joke was added to the show.
There are some mistakes your audience will never know about, unless you tell them. My unstable stage sword could have killed an entire scene if I rushed to pick up the pieces or cursed out loud. If your mistake isn't big enough to rattle the audience, don't let it bother you.
Maintain your composure and avoid letting an unseen mistake from spoiling your show.
Some mistakes cannot be ignored. You drop papers all over the floor. You forget the name of your own company. You trip and face plant on your way to the podium. This is when steering into the skid means fessing up and owning your screw-up.
If you pretend nothing happened, your audience will wonder if you noticed it, or worse, presume your ego is massive enough to pretend it didn't happen. Now your mistake is the highlight of the presentation, and no one will hear another word you say.
An audience will forgive almost any mistake. What they will not forgive is ignoring it. So, own your slip-up. Take a moment to poke fun at yourself, then, go ahead and correct the mistake. This gives the group an opportunity to laugh with you and celebrate your humanity. If you embrace your mistake, your audience will as well.
Black ice and speaking mistakes are terrifying because they occur unexpectedly. However, your speaking mistakes offer you an opportunity black ice does not. If you own your mistakes and maintain your composure, you will endear yourself to your audience.

For 37 years, Lake Superior State University has been publishing an annual list of "Words Banished from the Queen's English for Misuse, Overuse and General Uselessness." A frightening number of this year's entries come from the business realm, including: shared sacrifice, blowback, the new normal, and win the future.
Newly coined phrases can have real expressive power in the beginning. They can help us think about an idea in a different way, see it in a different light. Over time, though, their popularity is their downfall. They become clichés, so overused that all meaning is drained out of them. Is there some tired, worn out language used in your workplace – or by you? Maybe it's time to find a "new normal" for your new normal.
Of course, thinking about language is more than eliminating the weak phrases. It's about finding more powerful ones. Words have shades of meaning that can help attune the mind to an idea, shape an opinion or sharpen a point of view. Think about these pairings and how they communicate differently.
History vs. legacy
Parent vs. Daddy
Community vs. town
Change vs. update
Rules vs. standards
Streamlined vs. sleek
They feel different, don't they? Each has its own connotation that conveys a different underlying thought. I'm not suggesting one is better than the other in any given situation, just that you should choose mindfully. Words convey emotion: anger, trust, fear, excitement, belief, doubt. Be aware, so that you don't set a tone you don't mean to. By the same token, it doesn't benefit anyone if you whitewash a problem with words that hide it.
Remember the adage, "If you keep doing what you've been doing, you'll keep getting what you've been getting." Let me rephrase it. "If you keep saying what you've been saying, you'll keep getting the behaviors you've been getting."
That's the reason to take your wordsmith work deeper – to its most valuable communications level. Use words to uncover – and convey – ideas deeper than the surface information. Here are some examples.
What are the words that form the underpinning for customer service? "Trust"? "Delight"? "Constancy"?
How can you communicate change? "New landscape" or "changed priorities"? "Possibilities" or "survival skills"? "Overhaul" or "new paradigm"?
Think of words that reshape the familiar. Are "customer commitment dates" more motivating than "due dates"? Is "personal responsibility" stronger than "job description"? Is a "goal" more or less achievable than a "must-do" or "competition killer"?
So what's the good word today? Think before you speak, and it'll say more than you imagined.

Love it or hate it, the social obligations of Valentine's Day are hard to ignore. Husbands and wives exchange gifts, casual daters wonder how much they should spend on one another, and children (and some adults) celebrate a new stash of candy.
With all the romantic implications and pressure of the holiday, I often wish I was still in elementary school. Valentine's Day was simpler then. And I didn't worry about consuming half my body weight in candy.
As I reflect back on my youth, I realize that a grade school Valentine's Day offers more than nostalgia. It offers lessons in leadership.
It's generally expected that schoolchildren will buy Valentine's for all of their classmates. Although I barely spoke with some of my fellow students, I knew I would be writing their names on Valentines. It's important in the early years that no one is excluded.
Much like schoolchildren have best friends, bosses have employees they naturally relate to more than others. It's hard to avoid giving preferential treatment, but you will be deeply resented if you show favoritism to certain employees.
To avoid jealousy, make sure to interact with every worker on a regular basis. Likewise, get input from as many employees as possible during meetings and take every idea into account. You don't need to agree with every individual, but taking the effort to hear them out will enable them to feel included and improve your long-term relationships.
Being a typical boy, I didn't like valentines with Barbie on them. I was far more interested in superheroes and sports stars and I purchased valentines accordingly. Not surprisingly, the other kids felt the same way, so I got mostly sports valentines from the boys and Barbie valentines from the girls.
There was one exception. One girl (or her parents) knew third grade boys would cringe at the sight of Barbie and gave the boys valentines featuring Spiderman. Needless to say, she was our favorite classmate that day.
We all think differently. In VoicePro®'s Leading Relationships™ workshop, we use the DISC assessment to determine the participants' personal communication styles. Managers quickly discover why their managerial style doesn't work with every single employee. Knowing how to adapt one's style to the needs and personal styles of others is an incredibly valuable skill and results in increased productivity for all.
If you get trick-or-treaters at Halloween you don't want to be the one house without candy. The same rules apply for third grade valentines. Everyone wants candy. As an eight-year-old, my favorite valentines had a small pack of Skittles or M&M's attached.
Many leaders forget how important positive feedback and rewards are to employees. Salary increases are important but, as Inc. Magazine columnist Jeff Haden states: "Getting a raise is like buying a bigger house; soon, more becomes the new normal."
Use rewards to set you and your company apart. Everything from simple compliments to the handout of annual awards shows you value your workers and their contributions. A variety of treats will give you an increasingly motivated and happier workforce.
Though some may boycott the "greeting card holiday", it's hard to imagine anyone turning down an unexpected display of affection. Surprise your office with a Valentine's Day's gift. Use these lessons from elementary school to show your employees you care.

Chances are, your organization is operating in a global community with colleagues, clients, suppliers and partners in other countries. Do you worry that your relationship may be getting lost in translation? The topic comes up with VoicePro® clients, many of whom are multinationals. And, it's top of mind right now because I'm flying to Australia to work with U.S. client offices there.
My advice? Yes, there are cultural practices you want to understand. That's more than we can handle here, but rest assured that just a little research will go a long way. What we can talk about here, though, is the simple tools that work in the common language of connection. Whether you're making a presentation to a group or working with a small team, these elements can make a difference.
You convey an easy confidence when you keep an open, relaxed stance. Some studies suggest the most relaxed person in the room is perceived to become the leader. When you take a hunched-over stance or shrink into the chair at the conference table, you give up authority and strength.
Eye contact communicates that you're truly listening to other speakers and signals authentic belief in your own words. More important, it gives you a way to see if the listeners understand your message. In this case, it may signal a language barrier, but in any communication there's a possibility of misunderstanding.
I don't think starting my Australia workshops with "G'day, mates" makes me an instant Aussie. It reminds me of a southern colleague who's a bit annoyed when colleagues from the north start tossing "y'all" into every sentence. When visitors latch on to clichés, it conveys the message that they see the audience as sterotypes instead of flesh-and-blood individuals.
Ever hear your own name pronounced incorrectly? It's an awkward start to a relationship at best, insulting at worst. Try to get a list of new contacts before your meetings so you can get pronunciation help (and practice, if necessary) before the first work conversation.
This is a crucial part of communication with anyone, familiar or foreign, but particularly helpful in new working groups. Remember to ask often during the interaction, "Do you have any questions about that?" It opens the door for clarification. You may also consider asking someone in the group to recap next steps or key points. It's another way of being sure you're being clear.
This is another bit of advice that knows no boundaries. Still, any time language, accents or simply local practice may cause confusion, make sure you're as focused on what others are saying as on your own presentation.
Before you leave, set up a one-on-one conversation with a few of the key colleagues you'll be meeting and ask for advice. It's to everyone's benefit to help you make the most of time together.
The world is getting smaller, your communications need to reach farther. Put the accent on clarity, authenticity and relaxed focus, and you're speaking the world's language.

The other day, while I was scanning the internet for communication tips, I stumbled across an intriguing article by Jason Freedman entitled,"Public Speaking For Normal People."
Because I had recently written an article aimed at performers, I eagerly read Friedman's article, looking for new and interesting tips. My reactions were mixed. Some of the advice mirrored the teachings from VoicePro®'s Speak! Present! Influence!® workshop. On the other hand, others felt like a public speaking survival guide rather than ways to connect with the audience.
Of course, we compliment Jason Freedman and anyone else assisting inexperienced speakers, and we're reluctant to discount potentially helpful advice. So, instead of highlighting what we disagree with, here's a tip-by-tip response to the article.
I loved this tip: Develop a relaxing physical routine before you speak. At VoicePro®, relaxation before and during any pressure situation is a core value, and we offer numerous activities and exercises to help rid the body of nervous energy. In addition, warm-up routines prevent your brain from going into overdrive and over thinking your presentation.
However, I will caution readers against striking a "confidence pose." Forced poses are constrictive and block the release of energy. Instead, stand tall, breathe deeply, and shake out tension in the same way athletes do before competing.
The language is extreme but the point is well taken. Many speakers use PowerPoint as a crutch, with their eyes glued to the screen instead of speaking directly to the audience. If you're accustomed to using PowerPoint, ask yourself the following questions: Does my presentation truly need PowerPoint? And if so, how can I clean them up so everything is more clear? Then analyze your slides, making sure they can be read with a quick glance and easy to read from a distance.
Taking these precautions ensures your slides won't become a distraction.
In the author's example, he details his experience speaking in front of 150 people. As he spoke he found that focusing on two specific individuals kept him relaxed. This may have been helpful to the speaker but it fails to take the audience into account. The audience Freedman spoke to likely wondered what was so special about those two people.
At VoicePro®, we emphasize the importance of connecting with your entire audience. So, move your eyes around, connecting with people throughout the audience, really seeing them and watching for their reactions. This may be outside your comfort zone, but the effect is powerful.
In the article, Freedman states filler words like "um" are subconscious and getting rid of them is nearly impossible. He also argues that unless you're a politician, no one will care (I'm paraphrasing of course). I had two problems with this tip. First, filler words aren't noticeable to a speaker but they're maddening to an audience (especially after five minutes). Second, it's very possible to get rid of filler words. Once I identified my filler words and made a concentrated effort to eliminate them, my speaking improved dramatically. It is an achievable goal.
No arguments here. Memorized speeches feel disingenuous and staged. And if you lose your place, it can be impossible to get back on track. We recommend creating an outline for your main ideas. Your expertise will fill in the blanks.
We'll never argue against practicing your presentation, especially in front of a crowd. However, Freedman's idea of "live ammunition" includes being put on the spot and performing your speech at social gatherings, without preparation.
That's panic inducing.
As an alternative, practice in front of selected co-workers or family members. You're simulating a real situation, and the positive environment will give you confidence.
Public speaking can be a daunting task for the "normal" person, and Freedman's post offers numerous tips to make a speaker feel comfortable. Still, we should never lose sight of a speaker's true focus—the audience.

Imagine your last business presentation.
Ideally you were well prepared and your audience was eager to hear your ideas. Now, picture a slightly inebriated, potentially hostile audience with no qualms about voicing their displeasure, and you have one goal: Make them laugh. Such is the terrifying realm of the stand-up comic.
In his memoir, Born Standing Up, Steve Martin humorously notes why comedians declare that they "killed" after a successful show: "Because the audience is fully capable of killing you."
Although I hope you never have to fend off insults from an angry drunk, I believe successful comics offer numerous lessons about how to engage with any kind of audience.
There are two unspoken rules in comedy: Don't steal, and don't be a hack. A thief lacks originality and reeks of dishonesty. Anyone trying to perform like Robin Williams is a Robin Williams knock-off, and comedians such as Carlos Mencia are ostracized for using other comedians' jokes.
The hack talks in worn-out clichés about how terrible airline food is and the differences between men and women. They're slightly amusing but entirely forgettable.
Mainstream comics develop their own signature voices. Steve Martin was a physical buffoon. Jim Gaffigan rose to fame with routines about food and Hot Pockets, along with high pitched asides.
If you want to be memorable, find your own speaking style. If you're not a high energy personality any attempts to be excessively lively will be blatantly disingenuous. Find your comfort zone instead. A delivery that builds on your natural tendencies will make your presentation come alive.
Most modern comedians don't tell jokes. They share personal thoughts and experiences. Richard Pryor famously poked fun at his highly publicized personal struggles including addiction, setting himself on fire, run-ins with the law, and having a heart attack.
Sharing personal experiences is a wonderful opportunity to connect with your audience and put your humanity on display. Also, never underestimate the value of self-deprecating stories like Pryor's. Sharing your flaws states "I don't take myself too seriously," and invites your viewers to laugh with you.
George Carlin's recent passing brought about an outpouring of sympathy and appreciation for the comedian's work, most notably, his influence on other performers.
In an honorary piece for Entertainment Weekly, Chris Rock cited Carlin as his greatest influence for showing him comics didn't need to do characters, they could just be clever. Likewise, a newly successful Louis C.K. said that George Carlin changed his career with the concept of abandoning routines after a year, thus forcing him to scrap tired material and dig deeper.
Any successful business presenter offers lessons for inexperienced speakers. Learn from them. You may learn about connecting with your audience, how to organize material, or how to gracefully handle technical difficulties. Regardless, your presentation skills will improve by internalizing their lessons.
About a year ago, I went to see Patton Oswalt at the Cleveland House of Blues. It was a dark time for Clevelanders, because LeBron James' infamous "decision" to play for Miami was televised the night before. As Patton took the stage he began apologetically: "I'm so sorry, guys. I just got a call to perform at the House of Blues in Miami with two of my friends." Oswalt then detailed the ideal revenge against LeBron James. The audience laughed and groaned and loved every minute of it.
When you know what your audience wants, or what frustrates them, you can create a presentation to their liking. The end result is a personalized experience for the viewer. Word of Caution: If you ever use a local reference, avoid stereotypes or old news (referencing LeBron James now is way out of touch).
The documentary Comedian follows comedy icon Jerry Seinfeld as he struggles to re-enter the world of stand-up comedy. During a drop-in performance at a local club, Jerry suffers a comic's worst nightmare: He completely forgets his next joke and freezes onstage.
Even seasoned comics struggle with new material. Hour-long TV specials are a culmination of months of preparation, practice, and often failure.
It's dangerous to believe everything will come to you in the moment.
Work through your growing pains before you present. Practice frequently, and if possible get a friend or family member to act as your audience. You'll never regret practicing more, but you may regret practicing less.
Stand-up comedians aim to inspire laughs, but their goals mirror any business presenter. They're trying to connect with the audience. Embrace your inner comic and "kill" your next presentation.

There is a good list of clients at
<http://www.dyndns.org/services/dyndns/clients.html>. Many of them have a
mode where they ask some machine on the net (from a list, not just some
random box) what IP they're connecting from, and use that as the IP. It's
handy for when you have an ISP-supplied NAT box that you're using.

RWANDA has stepped up efforts to prevent new HIV infections to achieve the 2015 global target of zero new infections. The country has come up with several strategies that have seen the prevalence rates drop over time to 3%. However one crucial aspect that experts believe needs more focus as well is the fight against stigma and discrimination of people living with HIV/AIDS.
Along side testing and counseling there should be a deliberate policy to encourage people to disclose their HIV status. However, because of stigma many people don't reveal or live in denial. HIV and AIDS experts say that stigma and discrimination is common especially for those who come out to disclose their HIV status publicly. As a result many people fear to go for voluntary testing and counseling. Those who test and find themselves positive also fear to disclose or else they are stigmatised.
HIV/AIDS experts say that disclosure is one of the key strategies of addressing HIV/AIDS. However, fear of disclosure due to fear of stigma is hindering this strategy. It is a set back in the fight against the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
Some people living with HIV/AIDS live in fear of going through horrifying experiences like in case they declare. They are living in silence with HIV keeping it a secret for fear of stigmatisation. However there are examples of people who have disclosed and are living a normal life. Such people should be used as ambassadors to encourage others living in denial to disclose. The story of Juditha Mukabalisa, 52 in today's Sunday Times is an example of how stigma can be over come. When she found out that she had HIV following the death of her husband, she went into hiding. But when she later got the courage to disclose and leave positively, she has since become a role model in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

Don't we all? Yes, we do.
Problem is that Broadway tickets are more expensive than, say, raising a child from infancy to adulthood. So we theater gays do everything we can to save some money. We stand on the TKTS line in Times Square in the rain. We have sex with unattractive people who can get us free seats to something. We get memberships to TDF and search high and low to save some coin.
Well, for one week in NYC, there's an even better way. IT'S BROADWAY WEEK, BITCHES! I've never heard of it either! I've heard of Fashion Week, Restaurant Week, and Gay Sex Week (made that last one up... every week is gay sex week!) But Broadway Week? Can't say it rings a bell.
But that doesn't matter! Broadway Week means one important thing: BUY ONE GET ONE DEALS ON HUGE BROADWAY SHOWS!
These aren't those dumb coupons you get in your email for shows you've never heard of like "My Lithuanian Gay Uncle's Third Marriage" and "She's Jewish, I'm a Dead Camel, Our Kids Are Crazy!"
No, we're talking buy a ticket, get a ticket free to see:
- The Lion King
- Mary Poppins
- Wicked
- The Addams Family
- Priscilla Queen of the Desert
- Relatively Speaking
And WHO doesn't want to see at least ONE of these? Well, maybe "cultured" theater-goers with taste. But I'm not one of those, and neither should you be. Some of these shows are so much over-sugared Broadway spectacle that you'll leave the theater with your eyes glazed like Dunkin' Donuts.
DON'T DELAY! Click the link below and ORDER NOW. Because I can tell you these tickets will sell out quicker than an auction of Taylor Lautner's undergarments.
Love and Broadway,
Justin Luke

Medicare, Medicaid, and other health insurers and payers frequently cover sleep studies, CPAP, and other sleep-related care, treatment, and equipment, but individual patients should check their coverage before seeking treatment or screening at the American Fork Hospital Sleep Center.
Payers may also have specific requirements for patients with regard to treatment usage. For example, Medicare requires patients to meet certain minimum levels of CPAP usage in order for the therapy to be reimbursed.

so, i just finished making a batch of strawberry soup, and when i was cleaning up, i found myself with a LOT of left over strawberry stems, and i found myself wondering, what could one do with all these strawberry parts? i don't recall ever hearing that they're toxic or anything, but i've never really seen or heard of anyone doing anything with them. the pack-rat in me wants to put them too good use, but i can't think of anything...should i just accept them as a loss?

text: GamesBeat China drops old ban on gaming systems — but new regulation could still prevent console sales Above: The country of China.Image Credit: IM Global January 7, 2014 12:00 PM Jeff Grubb 0 Gaming is in its golden age, and big and small players alike are maneuvering like kings and queens in A Game of Thrones. Register now for our GamesBeat 2015 event, Oct. 12-Oct.13, where we'll explore strategies in the new world of gaming. The 1.35 billion people in China represent an enormous, untapped market for console gaming. Today, Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony might have hope that they can soon start selling their systems in that massive market … but new regulations could dampen those hopes. Yesterday, the Chinese government revealed it is temporarily lifting the ban on the sale of foreign game consoles, as first reported by Reuters. Those rules, which China put in place in the early 2000s, prohibited console manufacturers from selling their products within the country. While China is dropping the old ban, this doesn't mean that Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft have a clear path to sell the Wii U, PlayStation 4, or Xbox One, respectively, to the Chinese consumer. The country's government still won't permit the import of dedicated home-gaming devices until the cultural ministry dictates new regulations. The Chinese government first revealed in September that it would potentially permit foreign enterprises to sell game devices, and yesterday's announcement expanded on that. "[We will] temporarily stop carrying out the [old] regulation and wait until the Cultural Management Department of State Council makes the new, related regulation," reads the updated announcement from government. This means that while the old rules are out, the country still won't let in any new consoles until the State Council devises a new set of controls. While these new ordinances could represent a potential opening for console gaming in China, analyst Lisa Hanson of Chinese market-intelligence firm Niko Partners is hesitant to call this a win for Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony. "The new policy avoided any details," Hanson told GamesBeat. "Therefore, we are still at 'wait and see' with regard to what the console market will entail in China. My guess is that it could be a good opportunity, but it will not look anything like the Western observers are anticipating." Hanson expects that even if China does permit gaming devices into its market, new regulations will still present the console makers with a labyrinth of red tape that they will have to weave through to actually sell a product to the Chinese people.

Kim Dotcom's new file sharing site, Mega has tackled 150 copyright warnings since its launch just 10 days ago.
Ira P Rothken, one of Mega and Megaupload's many attorneys, said the service has reacted promptly to notices of copyright violations "including assisting some in fixing incomplete or defective notices."
"Mega doesn't want folks to use its cloud storage services for infringing purposes," Rothken said via email to Computerworld.
Rothken said the 150 requests, which concern 250 files, came from the US as well as other countries.
Many countries including the US have so-called "safe harbour" provisions in their copyright laws, which exempts providers from liability as long as infringing content is removed.
Questions over the legalities of the site took centre stage at the launch on January 20 as Dotcom is currently facing extradition hearing back to the US over his previous website Megaupload.
Dotcom squashed speculation over Mega breaching any copyright laws and said, " Mega has been scrutinised by lawyers like no other internet start-up in history."
The month-long extradition hearing was expected to take place in March but now has been pushed to August 12.
If successful the hearing would see him sent back to the United States to face numerous internet piracy charges.

It appears Williamsburg-James City County Schools' decision denying Paul Wheeler the opportunity to rescind his resignation as Lafayette High football coach is final.
Charlie Marcotte, the parent of a former Lafayette football player and the leader of a petition drive seeking to allow Wheeler to return as coach, said he received a letter on Thursday that W-JCC Schools will not reconsider Wheeler's return as coach.
Marcotte said the letter contained no explanation. Marcotte added that the letter indicated the school board gave consideration to a petition he and three others - the parent of a former player and two players from the 2010 team - presented to the school board at its Feb. 1 meeting. The petition bore 355 signatures asking for Wheeler's reinstatement as coach.
The school board would not allow them to present the petition in open session, and received the petition in closed session. While Marcotte says the school board members listened attentively, he said they would not answer questions and gave little reaction to the speakers.
Wheeler said he resigned in October, under pressure after being told a W-JCC Schools administrator was going to fire him. Wheeler instead offered his resignation, effective at the end of the season, rather than disrupt the team.

The optional Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) client Outlook AntiVirus plugin does not display in the Microsoft Outlook 2010 client interface. Is it functioning?
For SEP 11.0 and SEP 12.0, users are encouraged to support the proposed product enhancement for this feature or funtionality to be included in future versions.
Workaround: use Outlook 2007, Outlook 2003 or another mail client.
However the SEP 11.X Outlook plug-in is only supported on 32 bit versions of the operating systems even with the earlier versions of Outlook.
Alternately, do not use this optional mail plug-in. If a mail security program like Symantec Mail Security for MS Exchange (SMSMSE) is installed on the company's Exchange server or elsewhere in the mail flow (a dedicated mail scanning appliance, for instance) then any threats or other unwanted content should be cleaned long before the messages reach the end users. SEP's optional mail scanning components are of most use only in very small offices or unmanaged deployments. If a proper solution is implemented elsewhere in the mail architecture, then the SEP plug-in adds provides very limited return for its resource usage.
The SEP 12.1 Outlook plug-in is supported for Microsoft Outlook 2010 on both 32 and 64 bit versions

Lamborghini Aventador LP900 by DMC revealed with 900 HP
New photos and details.
Revealed for the first time back in March, the Lamborghini Aventador LP900 Molto Veloce by DMC brings not only visual changes to the Italian supercar but also a healthy power boost from the regular 700 HP (514 kW) to 900 HP (660 kW). On the design front, we notice the new look of the front spoiler and splitter lip that are mounted on the stock bumper and are manufactured from carbon fiber.
The aerodynamic stability has been improved thanks to the new side skirts which DMC says that they act as diffusers. In addition, downforce has also been further improved by the carbon fiber rear diffuser and the added tunnel system, along with the rear wing spoiler.
The changes do not end here as the engineers at DMC have decided to replace the overhead throttle valves with 12 custom single-intake throttle plates (one for each cylinder). The pressure modulators, injection nozzles, fuel lines and fuel pumps are some of the components that have been replaced by the tuner. While the stock exhaust system of the Lamborghini Aventador tips the scales at 34 kg, the new one weighs only 3.4 kg.
The price tag for all these upgrades is 125,000 Euros (approximately $165,000). All parts are already on sale.
German Luxury Tuner DMC launches the LP900 Aventador upgrade
When it comes to Lamborghinis, DMC has been able to establish itself on the list of tuners that know how to tame the Bull from St'Agata. So it comes to no surprise that they are among the first, to present a styling kit for the brand new Aventador: The "Molto Veloce" Styling and Performance Kit.
On the visible side, DMC created a styling kit that stays in line with the original design: A unique expressive front fascia features a redesigned spoiler sword and a stunning front-splitter lip, all made of pure carbon fiber. They fit onto the stock-bumper, installation is very swift.The new side skirt diffusers aim to improve the overall aerodynamics as well by bringing road stability. A new rear fascia consists of a lightened carbon fiber diffusor and an added tunnel system: Both items improve down force on the rear axle. It is completed by a rear wing spoiler that supports aerodynamics on the rear axle. All items can be installed without visibly damaging the Aventador since they either exchange for the OEM parts, or conveniently add-on, which guarantees that the car can be brought back to its original state of art, at any time.
Performance wise, DMC has a sporty modification in petto: While traditional Lamborghini design features combined overhead throttle valves per cylinder bank, DMC has decided to use 12 unique single intake throttle plates, one per each cylinder. Gasoline pumps and - lines, as well as pressure modulators and injection nozzles will be replaced by own new components. Optimized engine electronics, an electronic load pressure control system and a completely new wiring will be added. The engine will be rebranded as LP900. The power-mod is supported by a brand new Titanium Exhaust system, which weighs only a 1/10 of it's original weight. Counting only 3.45 KG, compared with the 34 KG stock exhaust was only possibly by using the high-tech Titanium, a material also used in space-ships.
"The Molto Veloce's Body Kit aims at Aventador owners that seek to add a little more exclusivity to their LP700" says Thorsten Grebers, Marketing Manager at DMC Germany. "The LP900 engine upgrade clearly targets speed enthusiasts."
All body components can be installed by one of DMC Germany's global dealers, located globally in North America, Asia and the Middle East. If you opt for the engine modification however, it would be highly suggested to fly your LP700 to the company's workshop in Germany or Switzerland.
While the Body Components retail for EUR 25.000, the brand new Interior costs EUR 10.000. DMC's whees package starts at EUR 10.000, and the Titanium Exhaust brings an additional EUR 5.500.
About DMC:
Located in the beautiful German city of Duesseldorf, DMC Exotic Car Tuning is currently leading the race for high-tech quality carbon fiber production on an industrial level. The company's founders have been actively involved in tuning Ferraris and Lamborghinis for many years before deciding to start DMC. Nowadays, the company's focus is on the refinement of luxury automobiles by creating dynamically enhanced body kits & car interiors. A strong focus on carbon fiber and special leathers like Ostrich define the German tuner's design character. We welcome you to visit http://www.DMC.ag to learn more about our line of carbon fiber designs for Lamborghini and Ferrari automobiles.

Biggest Lottery Losers
The media is full of stories about the biggest lottery winners, but not quite so much attention is paid to the biggest lottery losers, and in many respects this is a shame. Whilst nobody likes to dwell on bad news, highlighting the plight of the biggest lottery losers would serve as a valuable warning to lottery players everywhere. After all, if a player is aware of mistakes that have been made by the biggest lottery losers, they will be less likely to make those same mistakes themselves.
Because it wouldn't be kind to identify individuals in an article on the biggest lottery losers, we will instead focus on the types of mistakes tose losers have made. Although there are many individual lottery losers with their own stories to tell, almost all of their mistakes belong to one of the categories below:
Spending Too Much
The most common reason for a lottery winner becoming one of the biggest lottery losers is simply because they spent too much too fast. The exact same formula applies to lottery jackpot winners as to anyone else – if you routinely spend more money than you have in your possession, you will eventually run into trouble. Whilst it might take more effort to blow £5 million than it does to blow £5,000, plenty of the biggest lottery losers have proven that it can be done in a surprisingly short time.
Making Poor Investments
Winning a lottery jackpot doesn't make anyone more intelligent or business-minded as they were before the win. Unfortunately, plenty of the biggest lottery losers have neglected to realise this, and have ploughed their fortunes into businesses which they knew far too little about. The end result for many has been a complete loss of the investments made, and automatic entry into the biggest lottery losers club.
Ignoring the Law
If winning a jackpot doesn't make a person more capable in matters of business then it certainly doesn't put them above the laws of the land, but quite a few of the biggest lottery losers have assumed otherwise. Thinking that their millions would somehow protect them from prosecution, some of the biggest lottery losers have committed crimes ranging from petty theft and fraud to assault and murder. Whilst these individuals might not have lost their fortunes as result, many have ended up behind bars and unable to enjoy their wealth, so they still earn the right to be called some of the biggest lottery losers around.
Failing to Claim
All of the mistakes described previously were made after the biggest lottery losers involved had got their hands on their lottery winnings, but some of the biggest lottery losers in the world never even got that far. Yes, you guessed it, these are the ones who failed to claim their lottery jackpots in the first place. Maybe they didn't check their tickets, or maybe they lost their tickets before they had the chance to check them – either way their negligence made them the biggest lottery losers of all!
The mistakes made by the biggest lottery losers can all be avoided, so learn from them and resolve not to make them yourself should you win your own lottery jackpot!

Gymnastics Prepped for Fall Classic
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Less than two months stand between the West Virginia University gymnastics team and the start of the 2014 season. The final stretch of their preseason preparation begins tomorrow, Nov. 18, as the Mountaineers will partake in their annual Fall Classic intrasquad.
Competition will begin at 3 p.m. at Cary Gym, and fans are invited to stop by and watch the team in action.
The Mountaineers will split into two teams – the Pilgrims and the Turkeys – and the squads will compete routines in front of judges for the first time this preseason. Scores will be awarded, and third-year coach Jason Butts will declare a winning team.
"We have worked really hard throughout this preseason, and I'm very happy with where we stand going into the Fall Classic," says Butts. "Tomorrow will be the first time this year's team gets critique and feedback from outside sources, and I'm excited for the gymnasts to show some great gymnastics. This is the next step to get us prepared for December's Gold-Blue Meet and the 2014 season. Both will be here before we know it."
The four Mountaineer seniors will lead the two squads, with Hope Sloanhoffer and Erica Smith competing for the Turkey Team, and Amanda Carpenter and Bethany Yurko competing for the Pilgrims.
Also competing for the Turkeys are: juniors Lia Salzano and Jamie Judge, sophomore Lindsey Litten and freshmen Brooklyn Doggette, Alexa Goldberg and Emma Lasker.
Competing for the Pilgrims are: juniors Dayah Haley and Beth Deal, sophomores Melissa Idell and Jaida Lawrence, and freshmen Rachel Sine, Nicolette Swoboda and Mackenzie Myers.
A recap of tomorrow's completion will be posted at WVUsports.com.

Actually, when I made the comment that set Pete off I wasn't making it to him but rather to the person that wrote the note I responded to. I happen to like Specimen quite a lot the way it is. IF you have some samples that don't need any extra processing, like well recorded drum hits, or the sounds of children playing, or famous people talking, then I think that Specimen is really great for that sort of stuff. I wasn't suggesting changing it at all, but clearly it didn't come off that way to Pete.

I have written about my lovely friend, Kimberly before. We have worked along side each other during several of my recent projects, including the Creatively Made Home course and Souvenir Magazine. Kimberly has a style that appears so effortlessly casual, warm, earthy, and inviting. It's everything I love this time of year and have been striving to achieve more of in my own home.
A foody and photographer at heart, Kimberly combines her talents with the elements we've all been in love with: natural linen, hand-thrown pottery and raw wood. That's why when she told me she would be opening up her own pop-up shop this week, I squealed with delight.
The shop, named Tiggy & Grace, named after her grandmother, will be open this Friday, November 16th. It's a "pop-up" shop which means everything she's selling is limited in quantities and once it's gone, it's gone.
There will be one-of-a-kind pottery her husband made at home. Think rustic, imperfect and beautifully unique.
There will be lovely hand-made linen aprons and napkins, designed by Kimberly and perfect for gift-giving.
And locally made smoked salts packaged in weck jars…
These are just a few of the lovely things you will find at Tiggy & Grace. Be sure to visit the shop this Friday and check some of those gifts off your holiday list. And pick yourself out something pretty too. (I know I will!)

INTERESTING STUFF – 3 May 2014
The man you see in this video is an only child. So is his grown son. Watch his reaction when that son and his daughter-in-law tell him he is going to be a grandfather.
Metro Meteor is a retired race horse. A very successful race horse. Like many humans do in retirement, he has taken up oil painting.
Metro Meteor got a big story in The New York Times this week and he's been featured on the Today show. Take a look.
It is no secret that Florida Governor Rick Scott doesn't like Obamacare and he likes to tell anyone who will listen how it will hurt them.
Last week, he went to a senior center in Boca Raton to collect horror stories about the Affordable Care Act. It didn't quite work out the way he expected.
There is no video from the meeting so John Iadarola of The Young Turks online news service (TYT Network) read some of what the old people told the governor as quoted in the Sun Sentinel.
Tom Delmore was the first reader to tell me about this one.
I am such a sucker for this kind of thing. It is pure, deep silliness, piles of useless information. Wonderful stuff.
Everyone likes lists and this two-inch thick paperback has a load of the funniest, oddest, weirdest ones around – 164 of them. Okay, a few have only eight items but who's counting.
One I like is "Classic Toys and Games That are Older Than You Think." Did you have any idea that the ancient Greeks played with yo-yos? I didn't. And that there was a version of paintball called wax dueling that involved pistols and wax bullets in the early 20th century?
Another list I like is the "Top 10 Criminals Caught Thanks to their Own Stupidity." In one case, a pair of men in Colombia used the computers in an internet cafe for awhile then pulled out guns and robbed the place. They were nabbed because one of them forgot to sign out of his Facebook account.
This stuff is addictive and I'm going to spend way too many hours (days?) going through it all. The title is Listverse.com's Epic Book of (Mind-Boggling) Top10 Lists by Jamie Frater and it is available at all the usual book outlets.
If you've been reading this blog for more than a couple of days, you know how much I believe in the internet for old people. Now there is an upcoming documentary from some people who feel just like I do. Here is the trailer:
A screening of Cyber-Seniors is being held at the local theater in my town in late May or June, is being shown in a variety of places throughout the U.S. and more venues are being added.
You can find out if it will be available near you at the website.
Darcy Oakes is a magician who uses a lot of doves. He appeared not long ago on Britains Got Talent. That's all you need to know. Prepare to be amazed.
(I cannot remember how I found this video so if I owe anyone a hat tip, do let me know.)
Let's have some more magic – this time of a smaller scale but no less amazing.
For reasons we are not privy to, magician David Blaine was visiting at actor Harrison Ford's home. In the kitchen, Blaine pulled off some fruit magic and Ford reacted. Take a look.
The New York Times reported on a book titled Cat Sense from British biologist John Bradshaw which, says the Times, "provides the best answers that science can give for the time being" about what cats are thinking.
In the book, Bradshaw explains that unlike dogs, cats have not been bred for domestication so they have not changed as much as dogs from their wild ancestors.
And in fact, according to Bradshaw, 85 percent of all cat matings (presumably in England anyway – the NYT doesn't say) are arranged by the cats themselves between ferals and housecats.
"As for cats' attitudes toward their owners, Dr. Bradshaw thinks they regard them not as kittens but as a combination of mother-substitutes and larger, nonhostile cats."
You can read the entire review here.
This video has been all over the interwebs this week and there is a good reason. The footage of performance artist, Sue Austin, is mesmering.
Here is her TEDtalk that includes her video of her underwater exploration in her wheelchair.
Interesting Stuff is a weekly listing of short takes and links to web items that have caught my attention; some related to aging and some not, some useful and others just for fun.
You are all encouraged to submit items for inclusion. Just click "Contact" in the upper left corner of any Time Goes By page to send them. I'm sorry that I probably won't have time to acknowledge receipt and there is no guarantee of publication. But when I do include them, you will be credited and I will link to your blog if you have one.
Posted by Ronni Bennett at 05:30 AM | Permalink | Email this post
I absolutely love, love, love your weekly 'Interesting Stuff' columns. Where else are we going to find such a diverse mixture of great food for thought?
After pushing a wheelchair around for 12 years I'm mesmerized by the last video. I just wish my husband could have seen it. I also love the magic acts. How the heck do they do that? And as a widow who has just taken up painting again after a 30 year break, I hope one day I can be as good as that race horse. LOL
Thank you for not shying away from political stuff in your blog---the Obamacare video and other stuff. I need to take a page out of your playbook and do it more often in my blog. In fact, this week I wrote my very first post about a controversial topic and I've been blogging since the turning of the century.
For some odd reason, your page is cut off on the left side for me, so I can't see all the copy that goes with each video. Nevertheless, I enjoyed many of them. Loved the painter horse!
How ODD! As soon as I posted that comment, the page returned to normal.
Grandpa-to-be got me all teary. How lovely.
The grandpa-to-be brought me to tears, too, and I'm not a usually given to tears that quickly.
I am so pleased that seniors and cybers are coming together.....now if we could only have seniors in heaven on somebook. GREAT STUFF!!!!
Really loved the Grampa to Be clip. It was really heartwarming. I am not usually that moved by these kinds of things but this one got to me. Thank-you...
Really wonderful today. Thanks.
I think that anyone who is told for the first time that they are going to have a grandchild can fully identify with that sweet grandfather-to-be. I had to wait until I was 67 when I was told that wonderful news and I had given up on ever having a grandchild.
The magician is truly a Wizard. His tricks are impossible, yet the camera does not lie. (Unless photo shopped.)
All good stuff and the usual Saturday treat you spoil us with. I was most moved by the "re-invention of the horse" and the "re-invention of the wheelchair" and the examples they furnish of what this kind of faith and generosity of spirit can do; may I learn the lessons they teach! Thank you, Ronni, for all your life choice classes.
As always, diverse and fascinating topics. The Young Turks seemed bright and aware until they got to the IRA topic. They most definitely need to invest now for retirement outside Social Security, but it's not the IRA's fault they lost money. My opinion is that they may be taking a too short-sided view. Perhaps they need to read some Warren Buffet articles...people are making money on their investments when they don't overpay for fees, pick indexed funds wisely and don't take a short-sighted measure yada, yada, yada. Seniors may not have the luxury of a long view, but these young people need to capitalize on the time they have. They have enough challenges in their future. Not saving is not ok. Hope they got lots of feedback on that airing.
That grandfather-to-be video broke me up. What a great way to announce the news. That baby will be able to see how it meant to grandpa.
Kenju: sometimes I lose the left side of Ronni's blog, clicking the reload restores it for me. It happens on IE for me, and since I started viewing blogs on Chrome the problem went away. I am clueless as to why.
When I learned that I was to be a great-grandmother, I reacted exactly the way that lovely grandfather did. So I felt his joy completely.
I am totally addicted to your blog, Ronni. Many, many thanks !
Wow. Everyone a winner. Even got to see Han Solo's kitchen.
The Young Turks video subtitles must have been translated by Siri. They were unintentionally hilarious, but if deaf viewers rely on them, they're going to get a very skewed view of what the segment was trying to present.
The dove magician was amazing, though.

lpl telecom | mobile phones Glasgow
Independent, unbiased telecoms advice from Scotland's foremost telecoms provider
Who we are
lpl telecom is an independent, voice and data communications provider.
We're Glasgow-based, but we help companies and individuals throughout Scotland and the UK.
There's a lot in a word
When we say we're independent, we mean it. Independent means we aren't influenced by any one network provider, so we always act in your best interests.
We'll help you select the mobile phone or data package that's most appropriate to the size and nature of your business and personal needs. If you're a chatterer we'll find the package that lets you chat; if you're a texter, we'll get you unlimited texts. Or even a combination of the two.
In a nutshell – we provide packages that are fit for purpose and don't cost the earth.
Taking the arrgggh factor out of telecoms
You know what we mean. The 'I've been on the phone for 30 minutes and I still haven't spoken to a human being' factor. The 'I'm about to pull my hair out because no-one's listening to me' factor.
We've all been there.
Well at lpl telecom we do all the negotiating for you. So you spend more time on the things that matter, like running your business, and less time on the frustrations of long phone calls with network providers.

Social anxiety disorder is a psychological condition that causes
overwhelming fear of situations that require social interaction or performance
in front of others, such as public speaking. The fear often triggers physical
symptoms such as blushing, rapid heartbeat, and trouble concentrating, and
it may interfere with activities of daily living.
A person may fear almost all social situations or just a few
specific situations. Treatment includes professional counseling and sometimes
antianxiety medicines or antidepressants.
