Blaming everything on bipolar

|View More Posts Ignore
My partner says i do this... i dont know whether i do or i dont, i mean, its not something i do intentionally!!!!
He says its mainly if ive misjudged things... although i do think that sometimes (whether im hypo, manic or depressed) my judgement IS affected by it.
For example, if im feeling low, and theres someone hitting on me, im more likely to think theyre being nice to pity me rather than they like me and it needs pointing out to me!
Or if im paranoid i can misjudge someones actions as being sneaky, against me when this may not be the case at all!
I try to explain to my partner im NOT just excusing myself because im "feeling ill" but he really just doesn' get it... or is it me that doesn't get it?? Am i excusing myself?? Do any of you feel this???

I get it. Sometimes I get the impression that anyone who knows I am BP assumes every mood I have is dictated by it.
Why can't I have bad and good days? Yes, sometimes I may be in a bad mood, or say something bitchy... but that's who I am.
I have BP, but I also have a personality. Don't let anyone change that..

I think its very easy to feel confused yourself about whether its the bipolar or not. People tell me i use my bipolar as an excuse for my actions and I get stroppy and say no! thats not the case, than later i may think mmm maybe that emotion or reaction was real and not my disorder.
I think when any of us truly know which part of us is the bipolar and which isn't, than we can decide for ourselves what is bipolar behavior and what isn't. And hopefully, the loved ones around us will trust us and believe us, maybe even understand if they try hard enough.

This disorder can be so complicated sometimes that we dont even know ourselves where some of our reactions come from. The best solution is to try to know yourself the best you can. Over the years, I have found that my therapist has been extremely valuable to me in my quest to know my true self beyond the bipolar disorder. There are many levels of behavior, some of which can be shed. Learned behavior caused by our disorder can be discovered and we can learn new ways to behave in given situations. If you recognize a particular behavior as a product of the disorder than you can learn to identify it when it happens and learn a new way to respond. Much of our self doubt and low self esteem comes from the disorder but also manifests itself from our environement growing up and the fact that others did not understand what we were experiencing. Work closely with your therapist and if you cant afford one, read as much as you can to learn to identify your behaviors and triggers and correct them. Also, stay completely open with your partner about the things you learn. Blessings

Shelly makes some very logical observations about "knowing your bipolar" It is so very important to put them into action. Try not to be so defencive of our disorder. Live and "beleive" that we can perform at an adequate level of behavior. The secret is to have confidence in "self" and try not to let the "disorder" be a "disorder".

I use bipolar as an excuse to isolate plu I have blamed some of my past negative actions on thee illness which is wrong. That would mean that BPDO takes away my free will to make my own decisions, I do not believe this is true. It may influence my decisions but ultimately it is my choice. I hope. I too misread people all the time and assume it is because they know I have BPDO

Bipolar doesn't mean that we are unable to feel what we are really feeling inside. I get that to, mainly from my mother and sister. Even though they haven't been around me for the past nine years, anytime I actually show my distaste for something they assume it is my Bipolar.
Yes, there are times I have taken peoples behavior towards me the wrong way, but it is like someone once told me here...All you can do is do your best, we can't change the past. We are not meant to be perfect, and I agree with #3 and #4...try to know your triggers and don't feel bad everytime you, "myself also" , make a mistake. We are not defined by our Bipolar.

I went through this same issue, checking myself.
Blaming everything on bi-polar is actually blaming you for being yourself since your brain is manically depressed.
It is like blaming a retarted person for being retarted, no shit, the dude is retarted, he cannot fit into the normal mode of being.
Why do you act bi-polar, well no shit, you are bi-polar, therefore, your actions will show it off to one degree or another.
A bi-polar person cannot hide out among normal people forever, eventually, it will become obvious that the dude does not think the same.
I would swear that this disease should be called manically depressed instead of manic depression. I even believe the mania stems from too much depression, maniac depression mania.
I believe that the body, trying to fight the depression, fights too hard into mania.
(My personnal opinion!!!!)
Blaming your actions on BP is you blaming yourself for being you, or someone else blaming you. BP is you! At least a MASSIVE part of the you or I AM!
You know.....I think therefore I am.
In BP land...I think not right therefore I act not right.
See what I am saying????
Instead of blaming BP just blame yourself, same shit.
But we all have to ease up on ourselves otherwise we will feed the (bads.)

Exactly deepthinker, all we can do is our best.
We are BP, and in my opinion, we're not that bad of people.

Maybe your thinking is faulty ,that depends, How much do you trust the person whos telling you it is.BUT maybe its not and that person is just trying to sway you to see things there way ,it depends how much you trust the other persons judgement.

Unless you're going for a look that says, "Kick me, I'm a nerd," you probably want a pair of glasses with the thinnest lenses possible.
But if you have a strong prescription and you're ordering your glasses online, figuring out how to get the thinnest lenses possible can be perplexing.
Not to worry.
We're going to make it easy for you.
All you'll need is your prescription and a handy online tool that will estimate how thin your lenses will be.
This handy online tool is the Lens Thickness Calculator. It can be found at the OptiCampus website
Before we talk about how to use the Lens Thickness Calculator, let's look at the factors that can thin your lenses:
1) Your prescription. This you cannot change to get a thinner lens. Doing so would be counterproductive, in that you would not be able to see well if you take it upon yourself to lower your prescription below what your eye doctor has prescribed.
As a general rule, single vision prescriptions result in thinner lenses than multifocal prescriptions, all things being roughly equal. Multifocal prescriptions are those with an NV-ADD (Near Vision reading ADDition). Having an NV-ADD, or just an ADD, as it's usually written, enables you to get bifocals and progressive glasses.
In addition, prescriptions with astigmatism corrections – if you have this, there will be numbers in the Cylinder (CYL) and Axis (sometimes abbreviated X) fields – generally result in thicker lenses than those without astigmatism corrections.
2) Your lens index. The lens "index" is short for the lens's "index of refraction." That means how much the lens bends the light that enters it. That's what refraction is. Bending the light focuses it right into the middle of your visual sweet spot, the retina, so you can see well.
You can change the index to thin the lens, up to a point. After that point, the law of diminishing returns kicks in. The lens that is recommended for your prescription will be the thinnest lens. Choosing a lens index that's higher than the recommended lens index won't make the lens thinner, and you'll end up paying more for no improved result.
If this is confusing, don't worry. We'll clearly explain where the point of diminishing returns shows up when we look at the various lens indexes. In addition, you'll be able to see it too, when you start playing with the Lens Index Calculator.
3) Your lens width. This can have a considerable effect on your lens thinness. Once you have settled on the correct lens index, having determined that going to a higher lens index number won't result in a thinner lens, the lens width (also known, weirdly, as the "eye size") will be the last, and in some situations, the most important factor in thinning your lens.
OK, are you confused enough yet?
We'll fix that in How to get the thinnest lenses for your prescription, Part 2.

Steve Grossman: Over The Rainbow
Over The Rainbow
Steve Grossman (tenor sax)
In New York (Dreyfus Jazz)
Steve Grossman (tenor sax), McCoy Tyner (piano), Avery Sharpe (bass), Art Taylor (drums).
Composed by Harold Arlen & Yip Harburg.
Recorded: New York, September 13-14, 1991
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
This is exactly the kind of song that suits Steve Grossman's deep, lyrical tenor sound. He tackles it in a basically old-fashioned way while playing the theme, but when it's time to improvise he shows that his inspiration is rooted in the art of such modern elders as Sonny Rollins. When he's in top form, as he is here, Grossman delivers some of the most satisfying interpretations you can hear on standards in the mainstream to hard-bop styles. His reputation as a former alumnus of the "electric" Miles Davis shouldn't fool anybody about that aspect of his playing. Surrounded as he is on this track, Grossman sounds like one of the '50s masters who didn't matriculate from jazz schools, but had their own style that attracted countless followers and admirers.

When I was a little kid in Dallas, my grandfather always took me out to eat at cool places. One place I remember fondly is La Tunisia. The interior was exotic—low tables, wicker chairs, African fabric on the walls, and the waitresses wore I-Dream-of-Jeannie pants and veils over their faces. This may sound run of the mill now, but in the early 60s (?), it was over the top. There was also Ports O'Call and The Chaparral Club atop what is now the Sheraton Hotel. Anybody else old enough to remember The Golden Pheasant? Little Bit O Sweden? Lucas B&B? The Torch, Town & Country? The Beefeater?
Remembering Dallas Restaurants: How Far Back do You Go?

The Chips at Lovers and the Tollway was an IHOP. As a young girl, parents took me to Ewalds and Iannis for special events. I ordered Shirley Temples and felt so grown up. At the original, original Chilis on Greenville at Meadow, you could get two burgers and fries for $5. Kips at Northpark–Yes! Daltz for fried ice cream. Farrels at Valley View for huge ice cream floats, Old San Fran steak house with the lady on the swing for prom dinners. Bagelsteins on Spring Valley. Wall's on Preston with the case of marzipan cookies and vats of pickles. People's Restaurant with the "food bar" in Addison. The Stringbean in Richardson (may still be there.) The Egyptian when it was the one and only Campisis before they expanded, and you had to wait outside on line forever. They used light bulbs high on a wall to tell the server when an order was ready. There was one Texmex place that had a cafeteria-style line. When you wanted more sopapillas, you raised the flag on your table. Now, I'm hungry.

Voltaire…JT McCord's…Chu's…The Russian Room…and then there was a short-lived steak place hidden on Keller Springs in Addison.

Did anyone mention San Simeon on McKinney where Larry North was the maitre d'? What about Banno Brothers on Lowest Greenville? Or, the very original, one-story Chili's at Greenville and Meadow?
Shoot! I'm showing my age and now I'm hungry.
Nancy, why did you have to open this kettle of fish?

Gastronome: the place in the celler (on Main)down from Neiman's was Town House Deli aka The Cave (during WW II had been the Pirate's Cave). Run by the Sedaris brothers: Basil (took your money), George (worked the steam table)& Harry (ran the bar at street level), with their Mama always there. George's apple pie was great, but that's another story.
Jim Lee
Trying to remember a restaurant name. A large room downtown across Commerce from the Golden Pheasant – at least from the late 40s; then they opened another restaurant (with a similar name) on street level in a mid-rise building across Commerce from the Mercantile and west of the Mercantile Continental Building; open in the early 60s.
Do you guys remember the Chaparral Club atop Adams Mark Hotel (now Sheraton)? That was the absolute best!! I had my first date with my husband. Food was amazing on most visits until the last couple of times before it clsoed. The talented piano player/singer made for the most romantic spot in the city it seemed. Wish it was still there. I wonder what has come of that space.

After finding Intelligent Nutrients Anti-Aging Cleanser ($45) and deciding to write about it, we realized we've had a heavy slant on anti-aging beauty products lately. And we had to ask ourselves why. Is it because 14-year-old celebrities have become more popular than those that have paid their dues and proven their staying power? Is it because temps are starting to look more and more like Limited Too models? Is it because, when we wake up after sleeping 12 hours on a Sunday, our first instinct isn't to wash down the hangover with more tequila? Or is it simply because we have college degrees, got married, found a real job, had babies and put more into savings than we do department stores?
Yeah, probably that last one.

Yaz and Yasmin are a type of birth control originally developed by Berlex Laboratories (a U.S. affiliate of Schering AG, Germany) that was first approved for use in 2001. In 2006, the drug company, Bayer, acquired Berlex and marketed a more recent version of Yasmin, called YAZ. Yasmin and Yaz both contain drospirenone, a "fourth generation" progestin. No other birth control pills contain drospirenone, except for these.
Yaz contains a different type of hormone known as drsp or drospirenone. Drospirenone can increase a user's potassium levels. This can lead to serious health problems, which are particularly dangerous for those with kidney, liver and adrenal disease. In addition, other serious side effects of Yaz include:
An FDA study estimated that 10 in 10,000 women taking Yaz would get a blood clot a year. A Danish study that looked at women ages 15 to 49 found that drospirenone doubled and tripled the risk of developing blood clots. It is already well documented that estrogen found in all forms of birth control pills increases blood clot risks.
In the Yaz drug insert, Bayer warns those who have deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolisms, now or in the past, to not take the Yaz birth control pill. The risk is greatest in the first year of taking the drug but also continues throughout treatment with the birth control pill.
Women who have coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, uncontrolled hypertension, liver disease, migraine headaches and abnormal uterine bleeding should not take Yaz.
Women who have or have had breast cancer and liver tumors also should not use Yaz. Researchers have shown that drospirenone can stop the body from secreting hormones that regulate the body's electrolytes and water. This can cause a deadly increase in bodily potassium level.
By 2011, studies also showed that Yaz had an increased risk of blood clots, including the FDA's study that showed a 74 percent increased risk in Yaz users when compared to other oral contraceptives. While all birth control pills carry a risk of blood clots, or venous thromboembolism, the risk from drospirenone is significantly higher according to some studies. Yaz side effects have also been linked to deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot that forms in a vein deep in the body, typically the legs. Once a Yaz blood clot forms, it can break off and travel to various places in the body, including the brain and lungs.
Bayer has also improperly encouraged the use of Yaz for conditions other than those in which the drug has been approved for. These false claims involved the ability of Yaz to treat premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and all types of acne. In October 2008, the FDA issued a warning letter for deceptive claims. The FDA said claims made in the ads left the impression that Yaz was a treatment for PMS, when in fact it is only meant as a treatment for PMDD. The FDA also said that both ads left the impression that Yaz is approved as a treatment for acne of all severities when Yaz is only approved to treat moderate acne.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has sent several warning letters to Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for what the FDA termed "misleading" advertising spots it found "particularly troubling" because they served to "undermine the communication of important risk information, minimizing these risks and misleadingly suggesting that Yaz is safer than has been demonstrated by substantial evidence or substantial clinical experience."

Flames Fall in Game Two of Valpo Series, 6-2
April 6, 2013
VALPARAISO, Ind. - The UIC baseball team (14-14, 4-4) dropped the second contest of a three-game series at Valparaiso by a final score of 6-2 on Saturday afternoon at Emory G. Bauer Field. Offensive and defensive woes plagued the Flames as they tallied just one hit and three errors on the day. With UIC winning game one, the rubber match is set for Sunday at 1 p.m. CT.
Starting pitcher Joey Begel battled for 7.2 innings as he allowed four runs with two of those being earned. Valpo's Chris DeBoo held UIC without a hit over six innings and struck out seven Flames' batters, earning his second win of the season.
"I'm a little disappointed with our performance defensively and at the plate," said head coach Mike Dee. "Joey (Begel) did a great job of competing and it's a shame we weren't able to do more for him.
The Flames posted their first run in the third inning as redshirt senior Alex Grunenwald tallied the RBI on a bases-loaded walk that scored junior John Coen, cutting Valpo's lead to 2-1.
Down 3-1 in the eighth frame, UIC knocked in another run as redshirt junior Andres Ortegano ripped a double to left center to kick things off. He advanced to third on a wild pitch and was then able to score off an error by the third baseman as Grunenwald safely reached first.
The Crusader offensive put the game out of reach in the bottom of the eighth with three runs, cementing the 6-2 final score.

Check Out at the Check In
Check Out at The Check In is the second to last phone-assassination mission for Mr. Black. One must go to Escobar International to the payphone inside and pick up the phone. First, one must get the sniper rifle that he left for you at the drop point behind the tree behind you. Then, you find the woman that's indicated and follow her with your scope. When she goes up to a man and asks the time, there's your target. When indicated, you should kill that man and take the briefcase he drops. Run outside, get a fast car, and then drive to the Ammu-Nation in Downtown (Vice City), and when you get there and step inside, the mission is complete. Be very careful and very fast, because you will be followed by black Admirals with men that are shooting Uzis at you; they can very easily pop your tires, so get away from them as soon as you can.

So here in FL you have to be 5 by Sept. 1st- I had done a lot of research and had thought that if we moved to NC that he would be able to start Kindergarten in the fall- well i just found out tonight that they have also changed to Sept. 1st.
I am trying to look at other states where we could move to (providing the area is safe and not too high a sandard of living as we are lower middle class) and all I can find is Michigan and California. Are there any other states that we could look at for him to start Kindergarten this fall? I have called every private school in our area and they all have said he cannot start kindergarten until next year.
He is in preschool now and because of his advancement (and lack of space in their 4 year old classroom) they have placed him in the vpk class- now i feel like i've set him up for failure because if we cant get him into kindergarten this fall he will be doing the same coursework he is doing now and will be bored. I feel terrible about this...
If your child is starting kindergarten this school year can you please tell me where you live and what the area is like so i can start my research all over again?

March 5, 2014
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -
The Alabama women's swimming and diving team will be sending its largest contingent in more than a decade to the upcoming NCAA Championships it was announced Wednesday.
"This is a definite step forward for our program," UA head coach Dennis Pursley said. "Our mission now is to surpass the breakthrough performances we had at the SEC Championships."
When the NCAA revealed the start list for the national championships, which will be held in Minneapolis, Minn., March 20-22, there were seven Crimson Tide swimmers on the list, including three that will swim individual races and four others that will see relay duties. All three individuals and all three relays broke new school records at last month's Southeastern Conference Championships.
Juniors Kaylin Burchell and Kristel Vourna will both be making their third trip to the NCAA Championships. Vourna, who redshirted last season, earned All-American honors in 2012.
Burchell will swim the 100 and 200 breaststroke as well as the 200 and 400 medley relays while Vourna will suit up in her specialty, the 100 butterfly, as well as both medley relays and the 200 freestyle relay. Freshman Bridget Blood will make her first appearance at the NCAA Championships, earning spots in the 100 and 200 breaststrokes.
Senior Stephanie Kinsey will swim on the 200 and 400 medley relays as well as the 200 freestyle relays. Sophomore Justine Panian will swim the 200 medley and freestyle relays while her classmate Emma Saunders will swim the 400 medley relay. Freshman Bailey Scott rounds out the Tide's NCAA roster with a spot on the 200 freestyle relay.
The Tide has a chance to add to its NCAA crew this weekend at the NCAA Zone B Diving Championships, which will be held in Greensboro, N.C.

Not happy at all with this purchase!!! I was buying this for a gift and checked the sizing before purchasing for my son. He is a size youth medium(10/12) this product was listed as a youth large (12/14). I went with the bigger size so he would have them for awhile. When they arrived the tag was on top of product not attached and when I held them up they looked like a size youth small. Tag inside on garment said youth large. VERY DISAPPOINTED ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU PAY THAT MUCH AND EXPECTING GOOD QUALITY LICENSED ITEM! I FELT LIKE THEY SOLD ME A RETURNED PRODUCT AND THE SIZE WAS NOT REPRESENTED PROPERLY! NO WHERE DID IT SAY ITEM RUNS SMALL!

Obama's Compassion for Middle Class Blunted by Income Inequality Trend
Released: 29-Jan-2014 11:00 AM ESTAdd to Favorites
Source Newsroom: Cornell University
Source Newsroom: Cornell University
Thomas Hirschl, professor of development sociology and co-author of the soon-to-be-released book, "Chasing the American Dream: Understanding What Shapes Our Fortunes," reacts to President Obama's State of the Union Address, noting that the larger problem of income inequality will blunt his initiatives to help the middle class.
He says:
"President Obama gave a great performance last night and displayed compassion for the plight of the American middle class.
"However his program will not re-build the middle class, nor reverse the 40-year inequality trends. These dangerous trends will continue in spite of his program, and will push the country closer to economic collapse and depression."

To one who loves documentaries, such as I do, most are very import films. Films such as "Black Fish" and "The Crash Reel," which is about serious head injuries sustained during snowboarding. They shine a light on things most people would never think about.
"Mr. Angel," (Breaking Glass, 2013), played at SXSW last year and is now available on DVD.
Shot over six years, Mr. Angel chronicles the extraordinary life of transgender activist, educator and porn pioneer, Buck Angel. Buck has survived addiction, homelessness, suicide and relentless opposition to his gender expression. Still, he lives his truth without compromise or apology.
This feature length documentary explores Buck's moving story to understand the complexities of someone who overcame incredible obstacles, then shamelessly sought the spotlight and its backlash, to share his message of empowerment. An inspirational story of rare perseverance and an unlikely hero
As the film started I was a bit unsure of Buck, who was he/she? Why is he important enough to do a whole feature length documentary about? I soon found all the answers to these and more questions as I watched the film.
Buck was born a girl. You would never suspect him of having been a woman, except for a slightly high voice, which I stopped noticing as the film went on. Buck's life has been very difficult to say the least, read the synopsis above. He has turned out to be a rather wonderful person. The film introduces the audience to him and his wife Elayne. They are a fairly normal couple who happen to work within the adult film industry and, of course, Buck is transgender.
I enjoyed learning about Buck and Elayne and decided that their story is very important and a lot of people should open their mind, just a bit and check out Mr. Angel.

nicely finished back cover. easy to hold and use.
jelly bean OS 4.2 which gives you the freedom to customize the phone and use it like any other android.
Dual core processor, excellent ram management
Best price (bang for buck)
comes with 2 Screenguards (1 is already installed)
nice charger which doubles up as a USB cable
smooth functioning, no lag unlike many budget phones that I have experienced. It is also able to play HD videos and games
Battery seems to last for a day at least with moderate usage
Dual sim is a bonus
Screen resolution a bit low, no auto brightness sensor
no magnetic sensor (for compass)
Screen size is a tad small if you want to watch movies but i dont think that this phone will be used for that.
Low internal memory (80 mb) however apps can be installed on the sd card
Camera only 2 MP (rear).

Providing Cover – Keeping Clients
Finding someone to "cover" for you on a photography assignment can be tricky business. Not just for your client, but for you AND the person who you hire to do the shoot in your place.
Look, stuff happens. We all get sick or a relative passes away or there is emergency medical situations that make shooting the scheduled gig impossible. One sure thing we cannot do is to leave the client hanging. Simply not showing up is NOT an option.
The same thing can happen, to a lesser degree, when a long time client calls with an emergency shoot for a time period when you are not available. Simply saying, "nope… outta town dude" is not an option and it could cost you the client for future gigs.
So what do we do?
We find someone to cover for us. And that opens a can of worms filled with conundrums and highly charged with confusion, fear and paranoia.
Scenario One:
The client is in a rush and needs 25 photographs of the staff of a new company they had just acquired, and they need them shot next Tuesday at the official announcement meeting where all will be in attendance.
The timing sucks as it is the same day you are auditioning for "So You Think You Can Dance" and will be doing pirouettes and leaps on Tuesday.
You are unable to do the gig so you reach out to another photographer to 'cover' for you. I do hope you have made some good relationships with other photographers that allows that to happen… you have… right?
You cannot let this client down, they represent a good amount of fees over the course of a year, but you feel a bit reticent at sending over one of your 'competitors'.
You know you have to service this client, so you tell them you are unable to do it, but have someone you will vouch for to cover it. Vouching for means you KNOW they will do a good job and a job that is up to yours and your client's standards.
I have heard of photographers getting lesser qualified shooters to do a slightly less than excellent job to show the client how much better they are than other competitors. I will also say that usually ends up biting them in the ass… so don't do it.
It is at this point that the paranoia part starts to wear down on you… what if the other guy 'steals' my client? What if the other guy does a better job than me? What if the client loves the other guy and wants to give him all the work… forever?
Get over it. Your professionalism is what counts.
You call your buddy, we'll call him Tony, and give him the rundown. This is what the client wants, here are some of my lighting setups (you do photograph your setups so they can be replicated later, don't you…), and the contact information for the client. You even let him know what to charge the client so that he doesn't undercut your pricing or piss them off with a higher price.
"Call the client and get everything set up for the shoot, and let me know how it goes," are the last words you say before hopping on the bus for LA and a chance at fame. Since you are actually incapable of dancing, you know you will be returning to the world of photography in a few days.
But hey, it was YOU who decided to make that bet… heh.
The above scenario is what happens – usually. And what else happens usually? The new photographer ends up with the client because they were there. THEY called and handled all the upfront logistics. They got the setup done and the people were thrilled and hey, he had such a great personality.
And to be fair, your buddy did not try to take your client. He didn't hand out business cards or in any way try to solicit them. They just needed a few more shots done on Thursday, and called him direct.
Expecting him to turn down the client and send them back to you is not going to work – you are in the hospital with a badly mangled knee. Yes, hip hop IS that hard.
And that client is now your buddies client. It is quite awkward to expect that your buddy simply refuse the gig unless they offer it to you first… how does that work?
Scenario Two:
All transpires as above to the point of your call to the client. Yes, you have an associate who will cover the gig. Yes, they are right up to the level we need to do a great job. You get the "associate" on a three way call and introduce the "ASSOCIATE" to the client, go over logistics and make sure everyone is comfortable with the upcoming gig.
You send over the samples of the previous shots, lighting schema, and any personality quirks that the client perhaps displays from time to time… in other words you prepare them as you would an associate.
You go off to dance and your buddy takes care of the client. She calls to make last minute logistics, shows up and knocks everyone's socks right off. She is pleasant and cool, and gets the images down just like you would have.
And then she delivers them… to you. You then send them on to the client.
And you bill the client, and pay the photographer. I am not going to get into percentages and all of that – ya'll work that out on your own. Some do a cut and some negotiate a flat rate and some just pass it on through… whatever, it is plain as day to the client that the fill in photographer is under YOUR company banner.
When they need something on Thursday, they don't call her, they call you and you call her. She is an associate of yours and working for you – not them.
Same outcome, but this time you keep the client and they love the fact that you can get the job done for them even when recovering from major dance injuries incurred while doing a hip-hop stunt on a whiskey keg… don't ask. It wasn't pretty.
Keeping our clients safe, happy and close is more important these days than ever. So be smart when finding someone to cover for you, and stay in control of the gig.
PS: If you are the one being hired to fill in, do that. Don't try to sneak in a portfolio review, or hand them your business card because you forgot what was happening. Don't try to take that client away from your buddy who entrusted this shoot to you.
It's wrong, and karma can be a real bitch sometimes.

Matt Stajan has heard from his critics.
He's preparing to silence them.
Actually, he's been working hard all summer to make sure he's prepared as he's ever been to have a solid year.
"Coming into this season, I'm not standing here and saying I could have done more this summer, because I couldn't," Stajan said. "I was in the gym every day — three hours every morning — pushing myself. That's what I had to do, and that's what I did. Hopefully, it translates into a great season here.
"That's the goal."
Working with former-Flame-turned-fitness-fanatic Gary Roberts and Toronto-based strength and conditioning coach Matt Nichol, Stajan dropped about eight or nine pounds.
"I cut a bit of weight off," said Stajan, who had a horrendous 2010-11 campaign that got off to a rocky start when he injured his shoulder in the first pre-season game in Vancouver. "I feel great.
"That doesn't mean I lost strength. The goal is to gain strength and lean out a bit. That's what I did. I feel quicker on the ice as a result of that."
Putting up just six goals and 31 points in 76 games last season, Stajan isn't about to argue that he played well in his first full year as a member of the Flames after coming over in the Dion Phaneuf deal.
"For me to stand here and say last year went the way I wanted it to would be a total lie," he said. "It was a bad year, from top to bottom. I know that. I want to rebound and show that was a mistake, that was a blip.
"I'm going to work my bag off to do whatever I need to do to be a big piece here."
Excuses would be easy to come by. The shoulder injury cost him all of training camp, and just when he was feeling right, a crushing blow from Marc Staal in New York during a game against the Rangers left Stajan with a concussion.
Somehow, the 27-year-old is pulling positives from the disastrous season.
"Last year was a good experience for me. I learned a lot. Obviously, it was a tough year, but you learn a lot mentally and what you've got to deal with and what you need to do to keep that confidence level that you need to be effective out there."
He's not looking for excuses, as eager as he is to prove his detractors wrong.
"I try and ignore all the critics. It hasn't been a very pleasant summer for me that way, but I think you use that as motivation," said Stajan, who has played his whole career in Canadian hockey markets in Toronto — his hometown — and Calgary. "There are always critics, no matter what.
"This year I have a lot to prove because obviously the critics have been a little tougher on me than ever before. You try not to think about it too much but you definitely want to prove people wrong.
"That's motivation. You do want to silence people and shut them up."

The Huffington Post Megan Griffo First Posted: 04/23/13 EDT Updated: 04/24/13 EDT
We'll let the judicial system decide who's committed a crime, but there's no doubt about who's guilty of having an amazing mug shot.
At the HuffPost Weird News, we sift through booking photos all day long. So for one to stick out, it has to be a doozy.
Just when we think we've seen it all, someone surprises us -- like the guy who stumbled out of an Applebee's and into police custody for allegedly harassing customers while dressed up like the Joker from "The Dark Knight."
In a flash, a police officer's booking photo immortalizes every run-in with the law. And cops don't care if you're having a bad hair day.
We bring you a salute to the all-time most memorable mug shots.
Why so serious? Chase was arrested after allegedly harassing Applebee's patrons in western New York while dressed as the Joker from "The Dark Knight." He was taken to a hospital for psychiatric evaluation but not before snapping this unforgettable shot.
Hammer time? Kind of. Koenig allegedly threw hammers at construction workers in Friendswood, Tex., before barricading himself in his a toolshed. Police eventually had to use tear gas and a Taser to subdue him.
Hoover let ladies at Barstool Sports' Blackout dance party know that he's "Down 2 Boink." He let police know too when he took this shot after being charged with disorderly conduct at the party in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
Mitchell was arrested and charged with burglary after taking $87 in cash and change from a home in Lakeport, Tex. The real kicker? Cops say he ate a can of Chef Boyardee ravioli during the robbery. Then he posed like this.
Smith endured multiple tasings during his arrest after he allegedly parked in the middle of an intersection in Deltona, Fla. Police said his eyes appeared glossy and he smelled of alcohol. The result was this mugshot.
Roberts and his skeleton-like face tattoo allegedly burglarized 28 storage lockers in Godfrey, Ill. Madison County Capt. Mike Dixon told a local paper that Roberts' appearance was "the oddest thing I've ever seen in 20-plus years of law enforcement."
In Craft's case, the crime was as unforgettable as this mugshot. Police say the 28-year-old drunkenly crashed her car into a mobile home and then  allegedly tried to escape the scene in a children's battery-powered toy truck. Spolier alert: She didn't get away.
Russell allegedly made a bomb threat while aboard a CTA bus during rush hour in Chicago.
Surprise! Before taking this gem, Bibbs was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence in Blue Island, Ill.
Calloway took this picture after being arrested for allegedly stalking a corrections officer -- whom she'd met while she was previously in jail. The 33-year-old was also an unknown YouTube personality, going by the alias "Jamie Godhead Platinum." Appropriate, no?
This Romeo got right to the point with his romantic "Ladies Love It" mustache tattoo.  No report on if the ladies did, in fact, "love it," but we sure do.
What's going on here? Payne, of Humble, Tex., was allegedly so intoxicated that after his arrest (for public intoxication) an officer had to hold his head up for his mugshot.
This insane "Half Head Man" mugshot went viral in 2012 after this man, who allegedly went by "Halfy" was charged with soliciting prostitution. His flattened skull came, he said, from a car accident he got into while on drugs. "I was driving, and I hit a pole, and I flew out the front window and landed on my head," he told The Miami New Times.
The "666" tattoo and horn piercing decorating this murder suspect's nose come off as an understatement compared to the bulging round implants protruding from his skull in this unforgettable 2011 mugshot.
Til' the law do us part? This bride chose not to change out of her gown after being arrested in 2011 on her wedding day on a two-year-old felony warrant accusing her of identity theft.
Mabb couldn't control her emotions in this mugshot, taken after she was arrested for allegedly exposing her genital areas to motorists driving past a Pompano Beach, Fla. intersection.
Watson beamed while taking her mugshot in 2011 despite having just been charged with aggravated assault on a police officer, resisting arrest, and driving under the influence in Arizona.
Before appearing completely shocked here, Tolle was arrested for allegedly breaking into an animal hospital near Sardinia, Ohio.
Modesto, Calif. police released this mugshot after Nunes allegedly showed up drunk to his public intoxication hearing.  As of July 2012, the 36-year-old faced at least a dozen public intoxication charges.
Gibson was arrested for allegedly paint sniffing... 48 times between 1992 and 2011. Before this picture, cops said they found him in his apartment with his shirt off, and his hands, mouth, nose, and chin covered in silver paint.
This Oregon burglary suspect was dubbed "Moss Man"after police say he was arrested in full-body camouflage in October 2010. The next year he failed to show up to his trial, and a warrant for his arrest was issued.
Reid allegedly shot an airplane while it was parked in a Phoenix, Ariz., airport in May 2011, and then fled in a car. A police chase ensued, ending at Reid's home. He was charged with driving under the influence and felony flight.
Four for you, Joyce Coffey! You go, Joyce Coffey! Police arrested this woman four times in a 26-hour period for allegedly blasting AC/DC's "Highway To Hell" from her New Hampshire home.
Between 2004 and 2011, Smiths was convicted of operating while intoxicating five times. Before this shot, police subdued him with pepper-spray after he allegedly repeatedly hit his head against the patrol car's back seat.
In 2011, Tejeda allegedly fled from a traffic stop in Casa Grande, Ariz. Police had no trouble finding him, though, because of his lengthy criminal record... and his unique facial tattoos.
Authorities rescued and arrested Jack from a woman's chimney after he'd allegedly spent 10 hours stuck while on his way to burglarize. He didn't have to time clean up before the mugshot.
Irony wins again. Wendler was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence (for the sixth time) while wearing a "Been Drinking? Free Breathalyzer Test: Blow Here," shirt.
Slaton was convicted of beating and strangling another man, but charges of aggravated assault, felony murder and malice murder were dropped as part of a  plea agreement that he testify against his brother.
As a Sacramento cop sat in his patrol car, Thomas allegedly walked up and leaped onto the hood of the officer's vehicle. Police say he was wearing a sombrero and a boxing glove. And after he was arrested, he made this face.
Watson awoke in Virginia to find penis artwork drawn on his face, in permanent marker, by a roommate.  You have to look closely to see the mark on his cheek. He apparently didn't take it well -- police later arrested him for allegedly assaulting that roommate.
Maxwell allegedly tried to burglarize a home in Florida, only to be beat, kicked, and Tasered by its residents.

Saturday's beer review: Franziskaner weiss beer from Germany
I truly enjoyed this beer. It has a mild, almost fruity aroma and a slightly sweet taste with no bitterness. The golden color is darkened by the abundant turbidity. In fact, the label gives instructions for pouring the beer properly to get most of the precipitate into the glass. The cloudiness results from the top-fermenting yeast used to make the beer.
According to the company's website Franziskaner (Franciscan) weiss beers are prepared with a particularly high proportion of wheat malt in addition to barley malt. Presumably, the high wheat content is what gives this beer its distinct aroma.
Incidentally, their website was the most informative one among all the brewery websites I have so far looked at.

Fennec Alpha 1 for Windows Mobile 6 now available
Three months after the pre-alpha Fennec for HTC Touch Pro was released, now Mozilla has launched the Alpha 1 version of its browser for Windows Mobile 6.
Naturally, this version has the same overall look as the one released for Maemo devices.
It is entirely CSS-based, it supports add-ons and it includes the JeMalloc memory management library.
Since we're talking about an early version, Mozilla's devs don't recommend the use of Fennec Alpha 1 for everyday browsing. However, anyone's free to test it – download it from here and make sure to read the release notes.
The Fennec Alpha 1 for Windows Mobile 6 was tested only on HTC Touch Pro, but it might work on other WM phones too.
A video walkthrough of the browser can be watched below:

PRIOR LAKE, Minn. — Each Christmas, generous donors give approximately 5,000 "gently used" blankets to the local charitable organization called Bridging through the annual Bring a Blanket drive co-sponsored by Subway Restaurants.
Of those, hundreds are usually slightly soiled and in need of washing, so Bridging turns to the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC) Laundry Facility. The soiled blankets are delivered in February and March to SMSC, which washes, dries and hand-folds them at no charge.
"It is part of our mission to provide quality, gently used furniture and household goods to those in need," says David Jensen, operations and logistics manager at Bridging. "Our partnership with SMSC allows us to make this happen. By receiving SMSC's donated laundering services, Bridging has been able to distribute thousands of clean blankets to families in need over the years."
The SMSC and its Gaming Enterprise, Mystic Lake Casino Hotel and Little Six Casino, has worked with Bridging for years to provide linens, furniture and other items. Several times a year, Bridging drops off large loads of linens that the SMSC Laundry also washes for free.
Bridging's mission is to provide families and individuals transitioning out of homelessness and poverty with a gift of quality furniture and household goods to stabilize and improve lives while effectively using community resources. Through a network of more than 125 social-service agencies, eligible clients are referred to Bridging to pick out needed furniture and household goods to transform their house into a home.
The SMSC Laundry, which has 51 full-time employees, processes 3.6 million pounds of goods each year for several SMSC enterprises, including its hotel, casino, Dakotah! Sport and Fitness, and more. It also launders 575,000 employee uniforms annually.

Murderous Decisions by Anna Drake
Victoria Cross believes her life to be settled. She loves her husband and adores her son. Her greatest challenge, she assumes. involves keeping up with her duties to her family, to their home, and to her job. But all that changes when an elderly gentleman calls Victoria one morning and asks if she will have lunch with him. His request certainly sounds aboveboard and innocent. But sometimes simplicity can be deadly. And in short order, a handsome stranger, a string of police detectives, and a ruthless killer all combine to push Victoria to her limits. Soon Victoria realizes her greatest challenge just might be simply surviving.
About the Author:
Anna Drake says she writes mysteries with a touch of romance and a dash of suspense, and she insists she does her best to deliver on that promise. Her fascination with crime and its consequences began at an early age when she discovered a stash of Nancy Drew books in her parent's attic. Her devotion to the genre remained, even as her tastes advanced to include devouring most of the major crime books written. And to this day, when Anna isn't writing, she's most at home with her nose buried in a book.
Anna grew up on a small grain farm. She then went on to spend a delightful decade living in Chicago and environs. Now, she makes her home in a small town in rural Illinois. When Anna isn't reading or writing, she enjoys gardening and spending her time with family and friends.

Translation from GermanThe Challenges of Globalization and the Role of the IMF
Horst Köhler
Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund
At the Annual Meeting of the Society for Economics and Management
at Humboldt University Berlin
Berlin, May 15, 2003
1. It is a great pleasure for me to address you today and I would like to thank the Society for Economics and Management at Humboldt University Berlin and Dr. Manfred Gentz very much indeed for the invitation. Thanks also to Professor Plinke for such outstanding organization. Allow me to congratulate you on your initiative in bringing together theory and practice in a university context.
What is Globalization?
2. A Google search under the key word "globalization" yields more than 1.6 million hits — ample proof that both interest and definitions abound. From my perspective as an economist, globalization means a process of increasing international division of labor and the accompanying integration of national economies through trade in goods and services, cross-border corporate investments, and financial flows. This integration is boosted by technological progress, in particular in transport and communications. However, there is more to globalization than mere economics: globalization also means the free exchange of thoughts and ideas, and greater mobility of people. This is not something that is imposed upon us, but the result of forces for change that are deeply rooted in human nature: the drive for freedom and a better life, for new discoveries, and for a broader horizon.
A brief history
3. Globalization is not a recent phenomenon. Even in the pre-Google days humans were reaching out for new frontiers. Back in the 11th century the Venetian Republic was an early force in globalization. The age of the Portuguese, Spanish, and Dutch voyages of discovery gave further impetus to global integration through rapid advances in maritime technology. The discovery of electricity, the expansion of the railways, and the gold standard in the period from the mid-19th century to 1914 brought about an enormous increase in trade and financial integration. However, it is important to remember that this great wave of economic integration was interrupted in the first half of the 20th century by a phase of aggressive nationalism and protectionism in the aftermath of World War I, leading to the Great Depression of the 1930s and the catastrophe of another world war.
Opportunities and risks of globalization
4. An objective look at the last 50 years provides impressive evidence of the economic advantages of globalization. In the industrialized countries, real per capita income more than tripled in the second half of the 20th century. In some developing countries the increase was even more dramatic. In South Korea, for example, per capita income increased more than tenfold, measured in today's prices. Economic growth also brought about medical advances, for example: life expectancy rose by over a decade in industrialized countries and by over 20 years on average in developing countries. Some developing countries that have embarked on the road toward global integration, such as China, India, Malaysia, Brazil, Mexico, South Korea, and Thailand, now no longer export only raw materials, but also finished products, and services. In India, for example, IT exports alone account for nearly 40 percent of export earnings.
5. Nevertheless, globalization also contains risks. In my view, there are three major economic challenges:
6. Globalization is neither good nor bad. It all depends on what we make of it — the extent to which we are able to exploit the opportunities and at the same time limit the risks. I believe that to alleviate world poverty, we need more, not less, globalization — but above all a better globalization. In other words, globalization requires political management. I welcome the critical debate on globalization, which should help us to find workable solutions for a better globalization.
7. At the last IMF annual meeting I set out five guide posts for the IMF in its contribution toward a better globalization:
The international financial architecture and the role of the IMF
8. A key lesson from financial crises of the past few years is that crisis prevention must stand at the center of the IMF's mandate. The principal starting point for this task is the Fund's bilateral and multilateral surveillance work, that is the regular examination and assessment of economic developments and policies at the national and international level. We are currently honing this tool, by focusing more than ever on the sources of crisis vulnerability and on strengthening crisis resilience:
9. Crisis prevention is strengthened above all through more transparency in economic data and polices. In this respect there has been a veritable revolution since the financial crises of the late 1990s. This is especially true in the case of data transparency. Fifty-three member countries have now joined the IMF Special Data Dissemination Standard (SDDS), including most of the large emerging market economies, such as Brazil, India, and Mexico. The SDDS lays down consistent standards for the publication of important economic data. Private market participants confirm that the standard, for example, for the dissemination of information on foreign exchange reserves, is being increasingly used for country risk evaluation. Moreover, more transparency also helps to combat corruption.
10. Transparency is, however, rightly also required of the IMF itself. And this has been an important objective for the Fund. Nearly all country and policy documents are now publicly available, unless a member country explicitly withholds its consent, or unless a document contains market-sensitive information. Even our semi-annual work program is now published on the IMF website. In addition, we have established an independent evaluation office, which has the task to assess the work of the Fund. This office has already presented its second report on the role of the IMF in the financial crises in Indonesia, South Korea, and Brazil in the late 1990s. I am looking forward to discussing the report, as it will likely demonstrate among other things that the IMF has already drawn a number of important lessons from previous financial crises.
11. Nevertheless, much work remains to be done. This is particularly the case for the work on the internationally-accepted rules for the global economy. In the context of our surveillance responsibility, we are promoting acceptance and observance of standards and codes agreed by the international community. Such standards and codes extend from economic statistics, as in the IMF Special Data Dissemination Standard, via transparency rules for fiscal and monetary policy, minimum capital requirements for banks, supervisory standards for the investment and insurance industries, to a methodology for combating money laundering and the financing of terrorism. The broad implementation of these initiatives will take time, and the various standards and codes must be regularly reviewed. However, there is no doubt in my mind that these initiatives, together with the systematic review of our member countries' financial sectors, have already gone a long way to strengthening the international financial system.
12. Even the best efforts of prevention will not completely eliminate the possibility of future crises. Overshooting and correction will always be part of an open and dynamic market economy. Nevertheless, the objective must be to have fewer and less severe crises, and also to avoid contagion. In any case, even in the event of a crisis, self-responsibility is indispensable, if only to minimize moral hazard. The IMF is no lender of last resort in the sense of an unlimited availability of liquidity to help countries in financial difficulty. For this reason, we have clarified the conditions and limits of access to IMF resources. We have also concluded a long discussion of how best to help a country that faces a threat of insolvency. The Fund's proposal to create a mechanism similar to private sector bankruptcy for such rare cases failed to achieve the high degree of voting support required to bring about a change in the IMF Articles of Agreement. There is consensus, however, on proceeding with the introduction of what are known as Collective Action Clauses (CAC) in government bonds, so that individual creditors cannot block an essential debt restructuring. The inclusion of such clauses by Mexico, Brazil, and recently South Africa in their most recently issued bonds is a welcome development. The IMF also supports the creation of a voluntary code of conduct establishing ground rules for debtors and creditors in debt rescheduling procedures. And finally, we are continuing to work on further open questions, such as the aggregation of debt claims across different bonds. I have no doubt that these measures have created a framework that will considerably improve crisis management in the future.
13. It is both appropriate and important that the IMF focus not only on rich countries but on poor countries as well. We are a global institution with 184 member countries, and in (too) many of these countries, poverty remains the greatest challenge. Globalization requires a policy framework for one world. With the outcome of the United Nations Conference on Financing for Development in Monterrey in March 2002 there is now a remarkable degree of international consensus on the right approach to alleviating poverty. That approach rests on two pillars:
This approach, and the spirit of Monterrey can already be seen in the efforts of a new generation of African leaders in putting forward the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD).
14. The World Bank and the IMF — under the leadership of the World Bank — are supporting this concept with technical assistance and financial support as part of the Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSP). These are long-term development strategies adopted by the countries themselves. What is new about this concept is especially the broad consultation process involving civil society, aimed at strengthening ownership and thereby improving the chances of success. Moreover it is important that these country strategies be discussed with other bilateral and multilateral donors, and with NGOs, so as to improve aid coordination. Within this approach, the IMF contributes its expertise in the area of macroeconomic policy and financial stability. In doing so, we do not pursue stability as an end in itself, but because experience has shown that inflation and weak government finances hamper sustainable economic growth and, as a result, hurt the poor most of all. So far, twenty-eight developing countries have prepared full PRSPs and twenty-one others are coordinating their development process with the help of interim PRSPs. The first signs of success can be clearly seen in countries such as Mozambique, Tanzania, and Uganda. These countries have weathered the shocks to the global economy of the past three years with relatively stable growth. Moreover, in these countries there has also been a structural increase in expenditure on education and health. Overall, the IMF has strengthened its involvement in Africa, particularly through the establishment of two regional technical assistance centers in Tanzania and Mali. These centers offer countries education and training, with the objective to improve the efficiency of the management of public finances and to support the establishment of financial sectors that promote development.
15. Debt relief clearly must be part of a comprehensive approach to poverty alleviation. The enhanced HIPC initiative of the IMF and the World Bank has so far reduced the external debt of 20 countries by $40 billion, a reduction by two thirds in net present value terms. At the same time, in these countries, social expenditures are now on average three times higher than their debt service. However, I should caution that debt relief is no panacea. The word "credit" comes from the Latin credere, to trust. Developing countries must maintain or build up the confidence that contracts will be honored, if they wish to open up the possibility of access to private financial resources. Promoting such a credit culture is crucial not only for development, but also for the stability of the international financial system as a whole.
16. The true credibility test for industrial countries in combating poverty lies in their readiness to open their own markets to developing country exports, including by dismantling market-distorting subsidies, and in honoring their pledges to provide overseas development assistance. Trade is an engine of economic growth, without which no real progress can be made in alleviating poverty. Trade is the best form of help to self-help and reduces dependence on development aid. It is high time that the industrial countries open their markets more widely to products from developing countries. Far-reaching reforms in agricultural policy in all industrial nations are therefore urgently needed — both for fundamental moral reasons and because it makes economic sense:
It was a moment of inspiration in development policy two years ago when trade negotiators, meeting under the auspices of the World Trade Organization in Doha, Qatar, agreed to make the new multilateral trade liberalization initiative a "Development Round." Today we must ask ourselves with concern whether this optimism is still justified. In any case, it is disappointing that the March deadline for agreeing to the modalities for the agricultural trade talks was missed. Three fourths of the world's poor live in rural areas and are dependent on agriculture. The agricultural sector is thus the key to a true "Development Round." Moreover, the successful conclusion of the Doha Round by the agreed deadline in 2005 is also a vital step in strengthening confidence in global cooperation, thereby supporting the emerging economic recovery.
17. It is also high time that industrial countries finally keep their promise to spend 0.7 percent of their gross national product on development aid. In Germany, development aid is now 0.26 percent of GNP. Anyone looking for causes and culprits for injustice in the world should at the very least reflect upon this number. It is a concrete expression of current social preferences in Germany.
A global world needs a global ethic
18. I am basically an optimist and I am convinced that with the right policy a better globalization is possible — and that also includes not least the elimination of glaring poverty in the world. Nonetheless, the recent financial scandals in the United States and in Europe should remind us that good market economics and good corporate governance are not measured by quarterly profit alone. We also need a corporate code of ethics that fosters sustainable value creation that takes into account shareholders, workers, and the environment. I agree with Hans Küng that the world cannot survive without a global ethic. This ethic must respect human rights, but should remind us that we have duties as well as rights. Hans Küng also demonstrated that there is a great deal of commonality between the great world religions. In this too I see a basis for optimism, not least for the vital healing process in the Middle East. We must and indeed can all help in bringing about Roman Herzog's ideal of a common civilization living together in peace. That is also the basis for my vision for the IMF.

American architect William McDonough states, "Pollution is a symbol of design failure." McDonough and German chemist Michael Braungart conclude that waste and pollution are to be avoided entirely, and have written about it in their book Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things.
There are many ways that people can stop this design failure: Using public transportation, recycling, and drinking tap (instead of bottled) water can make significant differences.

President Boyd K. Packer and other Mormon soldiers spread the gospel in post-war Japan
Thanks to prayers and coordination with LDS Chaplain Richard Nelson, the Satos were baptized on July 7, 1946, in a preserved swimming pool at the destroyed Kansai University. Richards baptized Sato and Lt. Packer baptized Sato's wife, Chiyo.
"He was one of the most impressive men I've ever known," President Packer said recently of Sato. "He was a slow speaker and very wise."
At the time of the baptism, Lt. Packer remembers noting that Sato's language skills would make him a valuable asset to the church in Japan. That insight proved to be true as Sato later retranslated the standard works and other church materials, served as a mission translator and translator for visiting General Authorities and translated the temple ceremonies.
Not only did Sato greatly influence the growth of the LDS Church in Japan, which included the reopening of Japan for missionaries in 1948, he forever changed the way the LDS soldiers viewed the Japanese people.
In a letter from the book, "The Other Side of the Rising Sun," by Komae Mori, Army soldier and lead teacher of the Sato family, Ray Hanks, wrote of his feelings.
"Such men like Mr. Sato has shown me that the average Japanese is a peace-loving individual who loves life as we do, and wants to live it the best he knows how," Hanks wrote in December 1945. He passed away in 1981. "As for me, I have no enmity toward them. Their warlords are the guilty ones and not the masses."
As a young boy, President Packer said he grew up knowing many Japanese people who lived near Brigham City, and thus came to the war with no animosity or hatred, despite the negative comments and images swirling around him.
"People are people," President Packer told the Deseret News. "They speak different languages, are different races, but people are people. We're all God's children."
And because of that understanding, leaving the Satos at the end of his service was a poignant moment, as President Packer describes in one of his biographies written by Lucile Tate.
"We had learned to love them, and they us, officers of a conquering army," he said. "We were taught a remarkable lesson among the Japanese people. After all our training and instructions to demean them, to subdue them, we found that they were a good people and as individuals they were worthy of the gospel. They were seeking light, and even in their terrible circumstances they had many virtues that we might emulate."
When Richards arrived home, he often talked about his experiences with others.
"I was so filled … with new growth, new understanding … and love for the Japanese people that I knew, that you bet I shared it," he said.
In fact, Richards and his family stayed in touch with the Satos, and after Chiyo passed away and Tatsui moved to Utah, he lived in the Richards' basement for six months before he remarried and bought a home.
Tatsui was just as busy in Utah as he had been in Japan; remarrying Tomiko Hiranishi, teaching for a time at BYU, serving as a sealer in the Salt Lake Temple, in the branch presidency of the Dai Ichi Branch in Japan and as a temple missionary in the Tokyo Japan Temple. He was also heavily involved in genealogy.
Sato passed away June 15, 1996, but Richards still thinks of him often, and how he believes Sato was prepared to help the church make such monumental strides in Japan.
As he praises Sato, Richards is quick to deflect any praise as a teacher or missionary, stating that he was just in the right place at the right time.
"I'm just grateful the Lord blessed me with the opportunity," he said.
