What Setting Should I Have To Avoid
How do I avoid just anyone getting my email address and sending me a ton of spam? I think my settings are off and I am not sure what some of them should be.
Not possible, that's the reality. The ONLY way to avoid it is to never email anyone. Use strong spam settings and good common sense dealing with email and you'll be fine..
on another forum I kept getting hundreds of emails and it turned out I did not have a simple setting set right. I do not remember exactly what it was, but it was set to allow "everyone" to have access to my email addy. For others it was common sense to change this setting, but I had no idea. Nothing like that here? I went into my CP and Privacy settings were all set from the drop down menus to "Everyone" I was wondering if it is one of those that should not be set to "Everyone."
Oh, you mean on the forum..well the only thing that relates to e-mail is under CP->Edit Options, there is a checkbox for Allow vCard Download that if enabled would allow people to get your e-mail address.
The other things you've found in Privacy don't display your e-mail address so that should be OK..
ah, this other forum had the VCard too but on this other forum it had something to do with allowing people to send you emails. I went through the User CP and some sound like they could be what I had not checked off on this other forum, but some of them I do not even understand what they mean.
what about under profile privacy on this forum? Is it cool to leave those all as "Everyone?"
But thanks for the vCard, I will check that.
Yeah the Privacy as everyone just means people can message you on the forum, but if you wish not to get those, you can certainly set that to Your Friends or something..
Thanks Raz0r. Are you going to watch the Apple Event this Wed. to possible hear about the iPhone 5?
Keynote is not streamed live but I'll be watching all the liveblogs..
I apologize. I should have added to your reputation, which I just did. I assume that is how to mark a reply to a post as "the right answer" or "this answered my question" or something like this. Is clicking the small icon that looks like a thumbs up the way to give the reply some good mark in this forum?
The reputation system is used to recognize people that were helpful to you in a post and admonish those that weren't..kinda how it works in real life. The post counts and all don't really matter, but the rep of the poster is of greater value, IMHO.
There is no way of marking a post as answered or anything and things are usually an ongoing discussion, but if you are satisfied with the answers given in your threads, you can just move on and others with similar problems might jump in or ask additional questions. We'll only close out threads that become inundated with spam or other things that violate the community guidelines..
I wanted to add to your colorful dots...

Grace Potter & the Nocturnals aren't nearly as big as VH1 Divas Salute the Troops performers like Katy Perry or Nicki Minaj. But thanks to a wildly adrenaline-inducing set that included a duet with Heart, the super-tight rock band with the '70s retro vibe is crushing Twitter and reached #5 on Google's Hot Searches in the U.S. directly after the show. From Grace Potter's twitter:
Thank you all for your incredible feedback from the @VH1Divas show. You have officially crashed our website. That's the new Rock&Roll.
We have a hunch her site crashed because of brand new fans like this:
@rachaeltrevino3 GIRL i LOVED grace potter. i was like whooo is dis bitchhhh????
Aside from killin' it on the performance, we're pretty sure Grace Potter's legs didn't curb any enthusiasm. Ooh La La!

Reveling in the Ridiculous
While many other action stars have tried their hand at humor (often to distressingly awkward results), few have been so comfortable discarding their macho-man guises for out-and-out nonsense like Russell, whose turns in 1987's Overboard and 1992's Captain Ron allowed the star to express his inner goofball. While the latter is an uneven comedy bolstered by Russell's willingness to embrace caricature, it's the former that truly stands as a testament to his skills. As a rube who tricks an amnesic heiress (Goldie Hawn) into thinking she's his wife and the father of his white-trash kids, he's all fast-talking deviousness and rubbery physicality, carrying himself like a mulleted muscleman whose limbs are a little too loosely hinged. By so enthusiastically acting the fool, Russell comes across as perfectly comfortable in his own skin, thereby enhancing his aura of unassailable confidence and cool.
The Everyman, Albeit More
Over-the-top absurd or larger-than-life heroic, Russell's best performances never lose sight of a more basic, engaging fallibility and humanity. It's no surprise, then, that the actor has had such success playing average Joes thrust into overwhelming circumstances. Be it the Antarctic research team member suddenly forced to contend with a shape-shifting alien in 1982's peerless The Thing, the husband whose wife goes missing on an open stretch of desert highway in 1997's phenomenal Breakdown, the firefighter tasked with a baffling arson case in 1991's Backdraft, the military man contending with an interstellar portal in 1994's Stargate, or the head coach of the 1980 men's Olympic hockey team in 2004's stirring Miracle, Russell colors his characters' heroism with a no-frills, down-and-dirty stoutness and resourcefulness. It's that quality, that someone's-got-to-do-it approach to tackling daunting hazards and odds, which gives even his legendary gunman Wyatt Earp (in 1993's Tombstone) a relatable, down-to-earth ruggedness and resolve. As in his greatest roles, he's more man than myth.

Choice Gymnastics out of Summerville just returned from the Crown of the Carolinas on Nov. 30.
Crown is one of the most prestigious meets in the Southeast and hosted nearly 1,000 gymnasts, including some from as far away as Barbados and the Cayman Islands. Choice faired very well with 74 trips to the podium that included nine first-place all-around awards and 27 first-place finishes on individual events.
Two standout performers on the weekend were Amy Willems, an XCEL Gold level gymnast, and Emma Biron a Level 4. They both received the elusive crown this year by earning the highest all-around score in their sessions. Willems also had the second highest all-around score among all 970 gymnasts with a 37.425. Her scores included first place on vault (9.575), bars (9.4) and beam (9.6), and a second place on floor with an 8.850. Biron had a stellar day bringing home the hardware with four first place podium visits earning scores of 9.150 on vault, 9.450 on bars, 9.375 on beam and a 9.275 on floor. She earned 6th place among all gymnasts with an all-around score of 37.250.
Choice was set to compete in the Silver Bells Invitational on Dec. 7-8 at the Hanahan Recreation and Parks Gymnasium.

Twitter's ad business will help usher in a long-awaited era of one-to-one marketing, Twitter CEO Dick Costolo said during a brief appearance at CES today.
His comments came at a "Brand Matters" panel at the event formerly known as the Consumer Electronics Show. Marketers have a big presence here to find out about all the new technologies disrupting their businesses, meet with big clients, and no doubt to see which companies currently have the most money to spend on advertising.
Costolo talked about Twitter's advertising opportunities in a conversation with Michael Kassan, CEO of media consultant Media Link, who also interviewed agency heavyweight Maurice Levy, CEO of ad giant Publicis Groupe Publicis Groupe, which is merging with Omnicom. Here's what they had to say, which honestly wasn't much:
Q: How can Twitter get the right message to the right person at the right time?
Costolo: It's almost the perfect way to think about Twitter. We think of it as an indispensable companion to life in the moment. We're trying to connect marketers with people in the context of what's happening right now.
Q: Maurice, you began in the IT department of Publicis, so your day has come.
Levy: It's about time. Though I'm coming to the finish line. The new world of technology is changing everything. It's not just the way we're delivering the message but how companies are structured and how decisions are made. It's impossible to work in siloes today. We see more and more of our clients where the CIO and the CMO are together. You can't get to the company of tomorrow without changing the organization.
Costolo: This notion of one-to-one marketing has been largely a mythological beast. It's now the case that customer relationship management and advertising are coming together in one-to-one marketing. So on Twitter, the lines are really becoming blurred. In our roadshow video, a brand responded to a consumer with a customized photo. And that message is amplified to many other people. You get that amplification from the connection to that one person.
Q: What about privacy issues in this new world?
Levy: Privacy is a very serious issue and we should not take it lightly. We should think very carefully about using private data to deliver messages. It is extremely important for us to have access to information–and for consumers. Otherwise they get a lot of spam.
Costolo: It's important to highlight the issue of data transmission. At least, it needs to be transmitted in https (secure). On the use side, it boils down to trust. We've implemented Do Not Track. You can opt out of tailored ads, tailored content. You just need to be clear and direct with your users.
Q: Is opt-out going to be a small percentage?
Levy: Yes. In Europe, it's below 5%. Consumers don't want to miss an offer. What they don't want is to be overloaded… or to be harassed.
Q: How do you define Twitter, since it's a media, technology, and communication company?
Costolo: It's all about how do we help you (the brand) connect in the context of what people are talking about now? If you do that, opt-out is low.
Levy: So are a lot of companies–traditional companies are a lot of things. Also Google Google. Today everything is blurring.

Jeana S.
I had gone home on a Thursday to celebrate my the 16th birthday of my brother, Jonathan. That Saturday, I rode with my family to watch Appalachian State University play Presbyterian in a football game. My boyfriend, Ryan, had just graduated from Appalachian, and I was beginning my senior year. This was strictly a family weekend since we were celebrating Jonathan's birthday. On our way to tailgate, I was told to pull into Chancellor Peacock's front driveway, instead of going to our usual spot. I didn't know what to expect.
I came to find out that Ryan had gotten permission from the chancellor to tailgate in his front yard! Ryan told me it was for Jonathan's birthday, so I didn't think any differently. It was the perfect tailgate because both of our entire families were there, as were many friends! After about three hours of tailgating, Chancellor Peacock came out of his house, very casually, with three national championship trophies. He began taking pictures with everyone. After I walked over to say hello to the chancellor, he pulled out the three championship rings and reminded me that at the last tailgate I was unable to try them on.
The chancellor offered me the chance to try them on, so of course I did! I was so happy and still had no clue what was happening. Since I was consumed with talking to the chancellor of my university, I never even realized that while we were talking, all of our family and friends made a circle around the chancellor, Ryan and I. The chancellor told me that the football team was going for four this year, and reminded me that if we won we would need another championship ring.
He asked me if I wanted a preview of the fourth ring. Of course I said, "Yes!" Then, Chancellor Peacock said, "Well, I think I will need some help with that." That is when Ryan went down on one knee and asked, "Will you marry me?"
I had no idea what to think! I was smiling from ear to ear, and even did a little screaming dance! After I said yes, everyone there started crying and clapping! It was the most perfect, unique and well thought-out proposal ever. I am so thankful that all of our family, friends and the chancellor had such a special part in such a memorable day.

C'mon, brave the cold to support your local farmers
Do you like fresh, local food? Do you like fresh, local, free food? Well then you're in luck, because a farmer's market near you is making it easy to support the former while recieving the latter. Lemme break down the why and wherefore of this phenomenon.
Name a business establishment that has trouble making it during the winter months (choose one):
a. Ice cream shops
b. Convertible dealers
c. Farmer's markets
d. All of the above
Yup, you got it. "Febuary is definitely the seasonal ebb. This is the time we want to see market shoppers come out, rain or shine," says Christine Farren, administrative and events manager of the Center for Urban Education about Sustainable Agriculture [1]. Apparently, the whole lap-around-the-stalls-with-your-Chico-bag isn't quite as appealing when the weather is sub fifty and giving itself over to drizzle danger. This is trouble for those of us who enjoy having healthy, hearty, locally grown veggies at our fingertips- farmer's markets need year round support to stay open year round.
Luckily, the powers that be are making it palatable for you to do the right thing. Starting this week, CUESA is offering a free item from the stalls for the first 50 shoppers at the Ferry Building farmer's market on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This Tuesday was the offer's kick-off, which Farren says went over well. "It's hard to say whether it increased the turnout at the market since we don't have a turnstile or anything like that... but we ran out of the coupons (for the free lacinto kale, ka-ching!) by noon."
The free items are chosen based on their versatility and price point suitability, and at today's Thursday market, the prize is Fukumoto navel oranges from Tory Farms [2], whose bright burst of citrus is just the thing to reward you for braving the winter doldrums. Info on the next free nutrional boost is available on CUESA's Twitter feed [3]. Ample reason to unhand that Safeway cart and get to steppin'.
See these Fuyumoto navel oranges? Say no more, right?
Ferry Plaza farmer's market
year round Tues, Thurs 10 a.m.-2 p.m., Sat 8 a.m.-2 p.m., free
1 Ferry Building, SF

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) State insurance regulators are delving into Gov. Rick Perry's order that navigators who will help Texans purchase coverage under the new federal health care law receive more training.
The Texas Department of Insurance on Monday is scheduled to hold a stakeholder meeting in Austin. It comes after Perry directed the agency earlier this month to make sure navigators complete 40 hours of training in addition to their federal instruction.
Federal health officials are accusing Texas of throwing up more obstacles to the rollout of health care reform. Aides to Perry have defended the directive as a common-sense safeguard.
The health insurance marketplace is open for sign-ups Tuesday.
A partial federal government shutdown is looming over congressional Republicans demanding a one-year delay of Obamacare before passing a routine federal funding bill.

Most countywide elected officials will get a 5 percent pay raise, effective immediately, after a Dorchester County Council vote Monday.
Not included in the pay raise is Probate Court Judge Mary Blunt, who is paid more than Berkeley County's probate judge and about $28,000 more than statutorily required.
Councilman Jay Byars said he thought Blunt shouldn't be included because the pay raises for the other officials were meant to make their positions competitive and bring their pay up to a median level, whereas the probate judge position is already paid competitively.
Auditor J.J. Messervy, on the other hand, will get a raise of 9.5 percent to bring his salary in line with Treasurer Mary Pearson's.
The county pays the least to the auditor and treasurer -- $49,123 and $53,085, respectively, before the pay raise – because they receive a supplement of $20,418 from the state.
They will each now receive $55,739 from the county.
The other countywide elected officials – clerk of court, sheriff, coroner and register of deeds – will get the 5 percent.
Each of those positions received a 2.8 percent cost of living increasing in January 2012, as did all county employees.
Council's decision differed from the initial recommendation that came out of the human resources department, which was for a 6 percent raise plus bonuses to some elected officials, including a $4,000 bonus for the clerk of court.
The clerk of court's pay has increased consistently, Byars said.
It was $69,348 in January 2008 and is now $76,613.
Clerk of Court Cheryl Graham spoke briefly to the administrative committee, asking again that it consider longevity pay for elected officials as well as employees.
Though employee pay wasn't up for discussion, employee compensation and the now-discarded Lockton study have become intertwined in discussions of elected official pay.
At the previous council meeting, Graham told council the Lockton study clearly intended to compensate people based on years with the county, not years in position.
She said then she has employees who have been with the county since the 1980s and 1990s whose pay is frozen.
Councilman Willie Davis took exception to the mindset that longevity automatically equals more pay.
If you're a dog catcher, and the maximum pay for a dog catcher is $40,000, then that's the most you'll be paid, he said.
"I don't care how long you are there. Forty thousand is the cap," he said Monday.
Councilman David Chinnis said in an interview Lockton only used total years because the county told the company it didn't have data on years in position.
Davis also took up that point at Monday's meeting.
"Here we're blaming Lockton and Lockton didn't get the information," he said.
The county has made progress since he first came onto council in 1990 in properly aligning pay scales, he said.
It's not perfect, but it's better, he said. But department heads need to be doing employee evaluations, he said.
Chinnis, too, said the county should have been doing annual reviews all along. It's a task that's simply part of being a manager, and something every private organization he's worked for has done, he said.
To say the reviews aren't done because there's no money available for raises is a cop-out, he said.
The county has an employee evaluation process in place; it's been used in the past and this year, but apparently not consistently.
Further, Chinnis said, the county managed to get through the worst financial times most people have seen without firing or furloughing any employees.
After the countywide cost of living increase in January 2012, in January 2013 council approved $391,000 in "range penetration" increases to adjust individual employees' salaries to better reflect experience and education.
The pay for countywide elected officials, prior to the 5 percent increase:
Auditor: $69,541 (includes state supplement)
Clerk of Court: $76,613
Coroner: $63,471
Register of Deeds: $67,544
Sheriff: $89,566
Treasurer: $73,503 (includes state supplement)

Journal Sentinel TV and film critic Duane Dudek looks at life on the small and big screen, and some of the cool stuff on both.
John De Lancie's Q Rating
In Hollywood, there is something called a Q rating, which is a measure the popularity of a brand, show or celebrity.
The Q rating for John De Lancie, which is likely microscopic among the general audience, is probably through the roof among science-fiction fans.
For De Lancie played the recurring character - appropriately named "Q" - of an impish intergalactic nemesis for the captains and crews on three "Star Trek" spinoffs: "The Next Generation," "Deep Space Nine" and "Voyager."
If he is fondly remembered for the role, the feeling is mutual, more or less.
"Star Trek" was a blessing and a curse, said De Lancie during a recent interview promoting Thursday's staged performance of Kenosha native Orson Welles' "War of the Worlds" broadcast.
De Lancie directed the production, by the L.A. Theatre Works, at the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts, in Brookfield.
The group also will be performing a staged reading of an adaptation of "The Lost World," by Arthur Conan Doyle.
De Lancie is a writer-director-actor, with countless credits to his name, has performed with numerous orchestras and wrote and directed 10 symphonic plays.
He has performed or directed numerous radio plays for L.A. Theatre Works, which is the production arm of NPR station KPCC.
And he was the co-owner, with Leonard Nimoy, of a production company devoted to the dramatization of classic science-fiction.
But for small minds, like mine, the "Star Trek" association - 12 of his appearances are available in a four-DVD volume - was reason enough to seek him out for an interview. He must always wonder when a questioner will bring up "Star Trek," and I politely and patiently bided my time before asking.
And then he patiently discussed the role for what must have been the millionth time.
After a long and varied career, he said that "Star Trek" "was the tomato that stuck on the wall. What's his name - Ray Bolger - had a career that was extraordinary. And what do they have carved on his gravestone? 'The Wizard of Oz,' " in which Bolger played the scarecrow.
Like other performers who have played a beloved or iconic character, De Lancie said that "Star Trek" allowed him to do many many things he would not have gotten to do. "You have to be known for something," he said. "But has it kept me from doing other things? It's hard to know. Because people aren't going to come up to you and say, 'I would have hired you for that, but you did too many episodes of "Star Trek." ' "
Check out a couple of De Lancie's performances as Q, below.
"See You Out There"
"You're Gonna Miss Me"

Rep. Giffords Returns to House Floor
Republicans won the vote, but Democrats stole the show when Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., appeared on the House floor for the first time since a January shooting.
There was no hint of what was about to happen, when suddenly, as the debt-ceiling vote was proceeding, Giffords could be seen being escorted onto the floor by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., a close personal friend.
Giffords, wearing close-cropped brown hair and glasses, walked with a slight limp and wore a glove on her right hand.
(PICTURES: Gabby Returns To Washington)
Giffords leaned into Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and the two touched their foreheads together for a moment amid thunderous applause.
Both sides of the aisle gave Giffords a minutes-long standing ovation as she made her way to her seat. Giffords acknowledged her colleagues with a smile, saying "thank you" into the roar.
Giffords' husband, Mark Kelly, smiled as he waited in the hallway outside.
Speaking on the floor, Pelosi called Giffords "the personification of courage, sincerity, and admiration throughout the country."
(PICTURES: 2011's Most Inspiring Stories)
"Her presence today to make sure we honor the obligations of our great country is important and symbolic," Pelosi said. "We are all privileged to call her a colleague, some of us very privileged to call her friend."

PICTURES: Obama Turns 50 This Week; See Other White House Milestones
In a statement e-mailed by her office, Giffords said that she had been "deeply disappointed" by the gridlock in Washington as she watched the debt-ceiling debate unfold.
"After weeks of failed debate in Washington, I was pleased to see a solution to this crisis emerge," Gifford said. I strongly believe that crossing the aisle for the good of the American people is more important than party politics. I had to be here for this vote. I could not take the chance that my absence could crash our economy."
When Giffords cast her vote—a yea—Wasserman Schultz, who said she learned yesterday that Giffords would definitely be coming, whooped and pumped her fists.
This is first roll call vote since Jan. 7 that Giffords wasn't listed under "Not Voting."
As lawmakers and visitors continued to clap while facing Giffords and a stunned press corps looked on from the gallery, the yea votes suddenly surged, finally hitting 269. The vote was the last before the August recess, and the House seemed poised to leave on a good note after a particularly rancorous summer of partisan divide over the debt ceiling.
"It was spectacular, it really was," said Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz. "It was spectacular. You forget any stitch of partisanship…It was the best moment to end on, you couldn't ask for a better punctuation on the session."
House Speaker John Boehner was informed that Giffords would be voting about an hour beforehand, and he greeted her in the hallway outside the chamber.
Members, including famed civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., wept at the sight of her.
One of the most emotional moments was when fellow Arizonan Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., gave her a kiss.
After the vote, a beaming Pelosi told reporters that she had known Giffords might come for a few days, but that she had persuaded her not to push herself.
The mood certainly felt different as lawmakers of both parties streamed out of the chamber after Giffords had departed to greet a grinning Vice President Joe Biden, who said he had returned to the Capitol to see Giffords. Biden had spent part of the morning and afternoon on the Hill selling the budget deal to Democrats.
Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., may have captured the change in tone best.
"Who knew that the budget bill would be the second biggest story of the day?" he said.
Giffords spent about 10 minutes in the chamber before meeting her husband at the doorway and departing in a waiting car.
After Giffords had left, it wasn't long before the hashtag #WelcomeBackGabby started trending on the Capitol, from both sides of the aisle.
GOP Rep. Patrick McHenry tweeted, "Wonderful to have @Rep_Giffords back on the House floor tonight. A truly special moment. #WelcomeBackGabby."

The Bangalore effect [1]
Roughly 40 foreign companies set up business in the country every month, but unless it addresses its
Roughly 40 foreign companies set up business in the country every month, but unless it addresses its
by Rachel Aspden [2] Published
In the Electronics City business park on the outskirts of Bangalore, hundreds of construction workers are sweating on the scaffolding surrounding a half-built office block. They must work quickly: driven by the outsourcing boom, demand for office space is so high that buildings must now be completed in ten months, rather than the usual 18. Once finished, it will house another multinational neighbour for Intel, IBM, Dell, Motorola, Yahoo, AOL and Accenture.
Over the past five years, western firms have raced to set up IT, back-office and customer service centres in Bangalore, and the infrastructure of India's "outsourcing capital" is creaking under the pressure. The city suffers from frequent power outages, serious congestion, rising costs and an impending shortage of qualified graduates. The story is the same in New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Hyderabad, the country's other outsourcing hubs: they cannot grow fast enough to accommodate the 40 foreign companies that, on average, set up business in India every month.
In an attempt to combat a potentially disastrous squeeze, the government is promoting "second-tier" cities across the country as an alternative to the established business centres. Pune, Kolkata, Chandigarh, Kochi and Jaipur offer outsourcing firms low costs, space for construction and an untapped pool of English-speaking graduates. IBM and Dell are among the multinationals leading the move to smaller cities, which are vying with each other to make room for them: Chandigarh alone has five million square feet of IT space under construction.
If the move to these "mini-Bangalores" works, India may be able to hold on to its four-fifths share of the global outsourcing market for a while. But meeting the demands of a sector that is growing by one-third every year is proving difficult country-wide. Though still low compared to those in the west, wages are rising by 20 per cent a year and competition for employees is fierce. In any year, software services companies lose up to a third of their staff to rivals offering higher salaries and better benefits. Foreign firms such as Hewlett-Packard, Intel and Sun Microsystems can afford to double or triple salaries offered by their Indian counterparts. "We have a problem with an internal brain drain," says Professor M L Munjal, head of mechanical sciences at the Indian Institute of Science, which trains the country's elite technical professionals. "This is the price we pay for globalisation."
The bubble is likely to burst unless India addresses its labour crisis: a recent study warns that it may lose almost half of its market share by 2007. In the cut-throat world of outsourcing, it is perpetually vulnerable to competitors. Dubai is promoting itself to higher-paid legal or medical workers who prefer the lavish Gulf lifestyle - and freedom from income and sales tax - to that of Bangalore or Mumbai. Meanwhile countries from Hun- gary and the Philippines to Malaysia and China are competing for lower-end work. As wages rise, India is even "double-outsourcing" business that doesn't depend on spoken languages - such as computer programming - to engineers in China. For the moment, however, the bulk of its business is safe from its main rival: though cheaper, China is hamstrung by having very few English-speaking graduates.
For the squabbled-over young workers powering the boom, the competition has undoubted benefits: generous salaries are creating a class of western-style consumers. But beyond wide-screen televisions and imported groceries, outsourcing is producing subtler cultural shifts. Young, urban women with well-paid back-office jobs are becoming prized financial assets to their families, opening up the possibility of a career - rather than the usual route of immediate marriage - for thousands of female graduates. However, independence for the few comes at a high price. Many fear that outsourcing is deepening India's already entrenched social divisions, and that the new urban elite may be left stranded when the multinationals' affections inevitably move to cheaper partners.
A day in the life of... the call-centre graduate
Parag Arora, 23, works at the call-centre of a British multinational in Mumbai. He has a BA in economics from Delhi University and earns around 3,000 rupees (£38) a week
4pm Parag works nights to coincide with office hours in Britain and the United States, and so wakes up in the afternoon. He shares an apartment with three other call-centre workers.
5pm Breakfast/lunch: paratha (a type of bread stuffed with vegetables), dhal (lentil soup), subgi (a cooked vegetable dish) and idli (a fluffy rice cracker dipped in savoury sauce).
5.30pm Parag relaxes with friends, plays computer games, does some shopping or goes to the cinema.
11pm The journey to work on the bus should take only 20 minutes, but the streets are often choked with traffic.
12 midnight The ten-hour shift begins with a short team meeting on targets before the workers don their headsets. Parag deals with credit card queries such as payment problems. Workers must aim for an average call-handling time of two and a half minutes - the system also monitors how often customers are put on hold (putting someone on hold implies you need to ask for help). More than 2,000 people are employed in the call-centre and around 700 work on any given night.
5am A half-hour break and a meal in the packed canteen: similar dishes to lunch (Chinese food is also popular). Workers are permitted another two 15-minute breaks during their shift.
10am Parag leaves work. The shifts are hard to adjust to, as they change every few weeks; invariably they involve working far into the morning. He works a five-day week but his days off vary.
11am Bed.
A day in the life of... the subsistence farmer
Lakhi Ram Meena lives in the village of Kulephi, Rajasthan. He earns between 250 and 300 rupees (£3-£4) a week
5.30am The whole family - Lakhi, his wife and their four children - gets up before dawn. Breakfast is chai (black tea with milk and spices) and a chapatti.
6am Lakhi and his family head out to the fields to finish harvesting the winter crop of maize, mustard and vegetables. He raises two crops each year: the monsoon crop, which is planted in May and harvested in November, and the winter crop, planted in November and harvested in March. All the work is done by hand.
11am The family returns from the fields to tend the animals - cattle, goats, sheep and chickens - which are kept next to the house. Each cow is worth between 8,000 and 10,000 rupees (£100-£130). Animals are the family's only valuable assets, and are frequently sold off when crops fail. Drought is common in Rajasthan, and Lakhi must expect to lose 75 per cent of his crop every other year.
12 noon Lunch: goat's milk, vegetables, pulses, ghee and chapattis.
12 noon - 5pm Household tasks: cleaning the family's mud-and-concrete home, preparing food and fetching water (most homes in this part of India have sporadic electricity supply but no running water). In summer, Lakhi buys water from tanker trucks that visit the drought-stricken villages.
6.30pm Supper: same dishes as lunch, with chicken or mutton for religious festivals.
7.30pm Lakhi goes to join the village men who gather to discuss the day and drink chai outside.
9pm Bed.

After a few days of rain in the fall, then a few days of sun, the woods are filled with basket-carrying funghi hunters. The fresh Boletus edulis has a dense, meaty texture that has earned it the name "poor man's steak."–Pamela Sheldon Johns
LC Porcini or Bust Note
This may seem really discriminatory, but this grilled mushrooms recipe is superlative only when made with porcinis. Nothing against portobellos or shiitakes, it's just that their type of earthiness is the wrong type of earthiness for this recipe. It's sort of reassuring to know there's a reason fresh porcinis are so darn pricy, and it's that unparalleled flavor profile. So–and we say this only to save yourself disappointment–either pick up the real deal or do without.
Grilled Porcini Mushrooms Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Serves 4 to 6
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh mint
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
- 1 pound porcini mushrooms (about 6 medium)
- 1. Light a medium fire in a charcoal grill.
- 2. In a small bowl, stir together the herbs, garlic, and 1/3 cup olive oil.
- 3. Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth. Cut them into ½-inch-thick slices and brush them lightly with olive oil. Grill for 3 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned. Transfer to a serving platter and brush with the herb-oil mixture. Serve at once.

The term overweight is used to describe an excess amount of total body weight including all tissues (fat, bone, muscle, etc.) and water. Obesity, in contrast, is an excess amount of body fat. An adult woman or man who has a body-fat percentage exceeding 35 percent (for women) or 25 percent (for men) is considered obese. A person can be overweight without being obese, as many professional football players and bodybuilders are, for such individuals have large amounts of muscle but not much fat. Likewise, a person can be obese without being overweight, such as some elderly individuals or lazy "couch potatoes," who may not weigh a lot but have too much body fat. However, almost all obese people are also overweight.
Because body fat is very difficult to measure accurately, height and weight are used to estimate overweight and obesity. Body mass index (BMI) is a formula that combines both height and weight. It is computed as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared, or as weight in pounds times 703 divided by height in inches squared. Normal weight for adults is represented by a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9; overweight by a BMI of 25 to 29.9; and obesity by a BMI of 30 or greater.

>Crescent City California News, Sports, & Weather | The Triplicate
Robert F. "Bobby" Burtschell passed away July 13, 2014, at the age of 66 at OHSU Hospital in Portland, following an accident near his home in Gasquet.
Bob was born in Crescent City on July 16, 1947. His great-grandfather was Francis Burtschell, one of Del Norte County's early settlers, a prominent dairy farmer, and the original owner of the Surf Hotel in Crescent City. His grandfather, Francis Burtschell Jr., was the Del Norte County Assessor and owner of the Ford dealership. His parents were Frank "Junior" Burtschell and Rachel, owners of Burtschell's Paints.
After graduating from Del Norte High School in 1965, where he was known for dunking basketballs and driving fast in his black GTO, Bob graduated from California Polytechnic State University with a bachelor's degree in computer science while also using his trademark bartending skills at the Madonna Inn and the Motel Inn. He ultimately moved back to Crescent City where he opened Burtschell's Floor Covering.
Bob was a fishing and pocket billiards enthusiast, and was a master of jigsaw puzzles. He was a music connoisseur: his love of music was expressed in his LP collection, the largest in the county, and most recently in his endeavor to teach himself to play the guitar. He had a lifelong love of cars and showed his classic black '65 GTO for years. He was known for his humor and generosity.
Bob was a long-time member of the local Elks Club #1689.
He is survived by his wife, Beverly Burtschell; his daughters, Yvette Burtschell of Austin, Texas, and Monique Burtschell of Redwood City, Calif. He has two granddaughters, Katie and Danielle, and a sister, Linda Engelberg of Honolulu, Hawaii, as well as numerous cousins and other relatives.
A celebration of life will be held on Tuesday, July 22, at 1 p.m. at the Cornerstone Church, 1281 Douglas St. in Crescent City with a remembrance gathering to follow at the Elks Lodge.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Community Assistance League or the Elks renovation fund.
Please sign the family's online guest book at wiersmortuary.com. Arrangements are under the direction of Wier's Mortuary Chapel.

Weekly Roundup
This is my first weekly roundup for 2013! I love reading blogs, but the best part about reading is sharing awesome finds with my friends.
Here are a few posts that have caught my attention lately:
- Donald Miller (Storyline Blog): Do You Believe You are Good at Relationships? The Question Matters. Wow, I didn't realize what I think about the type of friend I am could make a difference.
- Kate Bryan (The Small Things Blog): The One that is Hard to Write. As I read this post, tears streamed down my face. I know how she feels. Someday I will write about our journey.
- Jan Scott (Simple Bites Contributor): My Secret for Easy Entertaining during the Cold Winter Months. I would have never thought about making the main dish the day before having guests over. What stress would be relieved by making the food ahead of time.
- Hannah Hurley (Hurley Love): I met a fellow blogger and it was amazing. I was blown away by Hannah writing this post about me. I am honored to have gotten to meet her.
- Gretchen Rubin (The Happiness Project): 21 Day Relationship Challenge. I love being reminded of ways to help my relationships, especially with my Hubster. Gretchen's ideas are simple, yet really impacting.

Summer time and the living is easy, but think twice if you're tempted to re-live one of the joys of your youth riding in the back of a pickup truck. This week on the Down East Journal, we examine a recent fatality in our state that reminds us of the danger involved in what used to be a common sight on eastern North Carolina roadways. Also, it's already time to start working on your fall vegetable garden. The Down East Journal airs Friday at noon on all of the PRE Stations. And Saturday at noon on News and Ideas.

UT travels to Sam Houston State for Sears BracketBuster gameWritten by Zach Davis | | firstname.lastname@example.com
The Rockets get a break from league play as they travel to Huntsville, Texas, to take on Sam Houston State at 3 p.m. Feb. 18. The game is part of the Sears BracketBuster event.
After an upset at Ball State this week, Toledo (12-14, 4-8 Mid-American Conference) is looking to continue its improved play as of late. With just four league games remaining, the Rockets trail Eastern Michigan by two games for the MAC West lead. UT plays three teams with below-.500 conference records before the season finale against the Eagles on March 3.
The Rockets are currently the eighth seed in the 2011 MAC Tournament, which would award them a home game in the new tournament format against the No. 9 seed.
Toledo's Rian Pearson is the main reason for the team's recent improvement, winning the MAC West Player of the Week award in the last three weeks. Pearson, who is still the only player in the league in the top 10 in points (16.8), rebounds (8.4) and steals (1.7), is leading the conference in scoring and is fourth in the nation for guards in rebounding. To win the award for a fourth consecutive week, however, Pearson will need to have a big game after scoring just six points with seven rebounds against the Cardinals on Feb. 15.
Curtis Dennis has been effective as well recently off the bench for the Rockets, now second on the team in scoring at 12.8 points per game. The junior guard has scored 49 points in the last three outings.
The Bearkats (11-15, 5-7 Southland Conference) have won three of their last four after dropping four straight. Konner Tucker leads Sam Houston State in scoring (12.2) while Steven Werner is averaging 11.2 points and 6.5 rebounds per contest.

Bloggers night: Orange Clove Catering (160410)
16th April saw me headed to the Botanical Gardens with Yongwei, and new friends HongPeng, Winnie and Elaine.
As this was the first time I've met them and since they were oh so young, I told them I was 21 until an hour after we met
Hmm, the Orange Clove people probably thought I was 21 too… but I digress.
We were at the Botanical Gardens (beside Gleneagles hospital) despite the rain earlier for a food tasting session by Neo Group's Orange Clove Catering. And no, they have nothing to do with disgraced film-maker Jack Neo.
Note: Pictures below are grabbed from HP, Yongwei and Winnie simply because I was too lazy to bring my camera
That's us (other than Yongwei who took the picture) walking towards the Botanical Gardens.
They all look so young! No?
Haven't been here since forever…
Group shot of us before the event started.
A look at the room around us…
The list of food available that night..
And the goody bags. Each of us took one (except for Yongwei who took 5), and inside were some basic details about them, and some macarons.
The macarons which were stashed in each goody bag~ There were good! And no, those are not my nails =_=
The event didn't start on time as the rain hampered many people's efforts in coming, but we met a few of the friendly and pretty ladies from Orange Clove all decked out in white (that's the theme of the night by the way). Although it was a simple gesture, that and other little things really helped to give me a good impression of the company.
When the majority of the invited guests arrived, the presenter gave us a short presentation of the evening's events before we started queuing up for the food…
And here are some of the pictures~
These 'muffins' look great don't they? Incidentally, that's the logo for Orange Clove. And they're really sweet too!
Lemon tarts made of real lemons! The sweet and sour combined makes a good combination (though it was too sour for my young friends)
Marble and Cheese cakes… these were really yummy too~
Mango dessert. Too sweet for my friends, not that great for me either.
And on to the real food…
Sausages anyone?
For the health conscious among us…
And the assorted stuff on our plates…
And when all that was safely tucked into our stomachs, it was time for the wine-tasting session!
White wine, and red were served in succession. Orange Clove has a wine tasting event every week and this week's focus was on Spain.
The red wine agreed more with me. The white one was pretty … blend I feel.
6 lucky winners also returned home with a bottle of premium wine. Unfortunately even though they called out Aaron and that handwriting looks a lot like mine, my friends and I didn't win anything.
But we all had a really great time, and while not all of the food tasted that great (my honey chicken was stiff and hard), we all walked away, stomachs full of happy food and tingling with wine.
One warning though, for food that looks and tastes great, it doesn't come cheap.
Do check out Orange Clove's website for more information.
Food will never taste or look the same again…~
2 Users Commented In " Bloggers night: Orange Clove Catering (160410) "
looks delicious. can we go there when i get back?
Its an outdoor catering event and they treated us to it at Botanic Gardens…
Usually there's uh… nothing there.
And when are you coming back anyways?
