I hope you have been as blessed I have been from all of the conversations I have had with my musical peers the last several months. The purpose of this blog is to tell our stories...stories of men, guys, dudes, who are far from perfected but who are trying to live out faith in a way that (hopefully) inspires and influences.

A Conversation with Matt Greiner from August Burns Red
June 3, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Matt Greiner plays drums and writes lyrics for August Burns Red. I first met him back in 2006 when our bands toured together. Matt is one of the hardest working, level-headed artists you will meet. But his drum skills and work ethic are not his most impressive qualities. Matt is one of the few people I have encountered in this industry that makes an effort to be both transparent and humble. He genuinely cares for people, while using his platform to share his faith with every oppo … [Read more...]

Hussein Fahmi seeks help from psychiatrists
Prominent Egyptian actor Hussein Fahmi has requested that director Amr Abdul Aziz postpone filming the scenes of his upcoming television drama "Al Sharid", to allow him time to make a number of private visits to multiple psychiatrists.
Hussein explained that he wants to gain first hand knowledge about Alzheimer's disease and its effects on the behavior of patients in order to prepare for his upcoming role. The drama, written by Mahdi Yousif and directed by Omar Abdul Aziz, will be filmed at the Media Production City.
According to the Qatar based daily, Al Raya, Hussein revealed that he will be playing the role of a politician, who works for a non-governmental organization that specializes in solving international disputes. Throughout the course of events he is sent to Africa as a representative to help resolve a dispute between different tribes and is subsequently taken hostage.
Hussein is later freed with the help of the NGO, but is found to be suffering from a psychological disorder that leads to memory loss. Sadly, all attempts to restore his mental capacities fail. The drama will be shot in Egypt, Holland, the USA, and in Southern Africa.
On a different note, police officials in Cairo interrogated Hussein for verbally assaulting a police officer, while driving in his car. The police officer filed a complaint against the actor claiming Hussein intentionally tailgated his police car and began cursing at him when he attempted to stop him.
When the officer filed the report against the license plate it appeared that the car belonged to Hussein. The actor denied all allegations and was immediately set free due to his profession and star status.

Study: Pregnancy increases fatal heart attack risk
CHICAGO – Pregnancy increases the risk of a fatal heart attack, a new study shows, even in apparently healthy women who don't have the normal risk factors for heart disease.
Heart attacks during pregnancy — while rare — prove fatal for about 7% of women who have them, a rate about three times higher than what doctors would expect in non-pregnant women of the same age, says Uri Elkayam, lead author of a study presented here at the annual meeting of the American College of Cardiology.
Heart attacks affect about one in every 16,000 deliveries, occurring mostly in the last three months of pregnancy or first few weeks after delivery, says Elkayam, a professor of medicine and obstetrics-gynecology at the University of Southern California.
Heart attacks during and just after pregnancy have different origins than typical heart attacks, an issue that can make them harder to treat, says Elkayam, who has completed three studies of the problem since 1995. In fact, standard heart attack therapies can make a pregnant or newly delivered woman's heart attack even worse, endangering her life, he says.
Latest news on heart health
USA TODAY's latest coverage on matters of the heart, including the Amercian College of Caridology Conference.
Normally, the most common cause of a heart attack is a narrowing of the arteries because of fatty plaques. However, this caused only about one-third of heart attacks in pregnant women or new mothers, according to Elkayam's new study, of 150 cases from 2005 to 2011. Instead, nearly half of the heart attacks were caused by a problem called coronary dissection, when the inner and outer layers of an artery around the heart peel apart from each other. That can allow blood to flow in between layers of blood vessels, blocking the artery.
"These are big heart attacks," Elkayam says, noting that women who survive are at high risk of complications, such as heart failure and shock.
Doctors need to be careful not to blindly follow the normal heart attack treatment guidelines, Elkayam says. Giving these women a clot-busting drug — which normally helps patients — can actually make the artery tear even further. So can imaging the heart using another common test, called coronary angiography. In seven of 129 women, performing an angiography made the rupture worse. One of those women died, and another later died while waiting for a heart transplant. Four of the women needed immediate heart bypass surgery, he says.
When pregnant women come to the hospital with heart attack symptoms, "the biggest problem is that we honestly don't know what to do with them," says Martha Gulati, director of preventive cardiology and women's cardiovascular health at Ohio State's Wexner Medical Center, who wasn't involved in the new study. "We don't even know how to advise them about whether they should try to get pregnant again."
Given these dangers, Elkayam says doctors should try to evaluate patients non-invasively, such as through an EKG, which measures the heart's rhythm, and stress testing, which can involve running on a treadmill. If doctors feel they must insert a balloon into the artery to save a mother's life, they should do it as quickly and carefully as possible.
Because heart attacks in pregnant women and new moms are rare, hospitals may only treat a handful of patients a year, Gulati says. That's not enough for doctors to learn which treatments have the greatest success. Doctors at the Mayo Clinic are trying to gather data on these rare heart attacks through a registry, which allows specialists around the country to pool their findings, Gulati says.
Pregnancy can increase heart attack risk in several ways, says cardiologist Nieca Goldberg, medical director of NYU Langone Medical Center's Tisch Center for Women's Health. Pregnancy changes a woman's balance of hormones and makes her more prone to blood clots. Because of the increased demands of the fetus, her blood volume increases by 50%.
And while the women in the study appeared largely healthy, Goldberg notes that 25% were smokers. Quitting smoking is one of the most important things women can do to protect themselves and the baby, Goldberg says.
A study published last month in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that, overall, women are much less likely to experience chest pain during heart attacks, making their conditions harder to recognize and treat, leading to a higher overall risk of death.

Watch Gavin's report
Pop star Madonna's been in court in Malawi in West Africa to tell judges why she should be allowed to adopt a four-year-old girl called Mercy James.
Three years ago she adopted a boy called David Banda from the same country, when he was just one.
She already has two kids of her own, Lourdes, 12, and eight-year-old Rocco.
But the singer's being criticised by some charities who say it's not always the best thing for kids to go and live abroad.
Sarah Jacobs, from Save the Children, said that Madonna should think again about what she is doing.
"It might seem that Madonna is doing a really good thing in taking this girl to America to give her an education, but it's an education she could have got with her own family, if they were given the proper support.
"In fact, choosing to adopt out of an orphanage could have a very dangerous impact on many other children."
She said this case might make some Africans think it's better to leave their children in orphanages in the hope that they might get a better life, but in fact orphanages can be very dangerous and sad places.
The court will meet again on Friday to discuss the adoption further.

Photos: Top-secret Silver Spork Social pop-up dinner
All photos by Danielle Lirette
After a decade away -- eight in New York running the student travel company, Walking Tree Travel, that he'd founded with two fellow East High alums, then another two running the company from on the road -- Paul Laurie returned to Denver last September. While he continues to serve as the director of Walking Tree, he's also founded Silver Spork Social, an underground supper club that held its third event at a secret LoDo loft location on Thursday, March 20, when chef Danny Schuman from the Four Seasons made the meal, and Kevin Deming of Old Major mixed the drinks. Photographer Danielle Lirette was there to document all the delicious action; keep reading for a taste.

Perdomo, 24, was named to the Class-A Carolina League All-Star team this year after posting a 3-1 mark with a 0.92 ERA and 18 saves for Kinston. He was 2-0 with a 3.52 ERA in 9 games with Akron (AA) of the Eastern League and has combined to go 5-1 with a 1.66 ERA, 19 saves and 60 strikeouts in 54.1 innings pitched this season.
"I think everyone agreed that a change of scenery was probably best for Anthony," said Cardinals Vice President/General Manager John Mozeliak. "Hopefully this will benefit him and it allows us to add depth to our minor league system, as we not only remain focused on the Major League team, but continue to look to the future."
Signed by the Indians as an non-drafted free agent out of the San Cristobal Dominican Republic in 2003, Perdomo spent three seasons with the Indians DSL team before advancing to the GCL Indians in 2006, where he finished 2nd in the league with 9 saves, fanning 29 batters in 20 innings. He was 4-6 with a 3.27 ERA and 10 saves in 56 games for Lake County of the South Atlantic League in 2007.
The 6-0, 170-pound Perdomo will be assigned to the Springfield Cardinals (AA) roster.
Coming this evening: Manager Tony La Russa looks back on the Reyes years with St. Louis.

Annual Report of the Performance Management Advisory Committee - August 5, 2001
Performance Management Advisory Committee
Enabling Authority
HB 1065 (Regular Session, 2000)
Executive Summary
Virginia's performance management efforts date to the early 1980's when goals and measures were required to be provided by state agencies as part of their budget submissions. Virginia's current performance management system has been operational since 1995. It is comprised of four, linked processes: strategic planning, performance measurement, program evaluation, and performance budgeting.
In the 2000 legislative session, HB 1065 amended § 2.1-391 of the Code of Virginia, establishing a Performance Management Advisory Committee to provide input regarding the direction and results of the state's performance management efforts. The Advisory Committee met several times over the past year to review Virginia's current performance management system, discuss best practices within the Commonwealth, and develop recommendations for future action. The following is a summary of the opportunities and recommendations developed by Virginia's Performance Management Advisory Committee:
Opportunities and Recommendations
The public should be assured that their tax dollars are spent as intended and that government programs and services are provided in the most effective and efficient way.
Recommendation #1: Create opportunities for citizens to provide input on program performance changes and improvements.
Recommendation #2: Enable public review of agency/program effectiveness.
Competent leadership that is knowledgeable of organizational performance management tools and committed to using them for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of government services is critical to creating and sustaining an effective organizational performance management system.
Recommendation #3: Provide organizational performance management training and technical assistance for executive and legislative branch decision makers and staff.
Recommendation #4: Ensure that all major executive branch agencies have publicly available strategic plans and performance measures linked to the plans as required by state guidelines. These should be reviewed and approved by the appropriate Cabinet Secretaries.
Recommendation #5: Develop a system that identifies, communicates, and supports superior organizational performance management practices throughout state executive and legislative branch agencies.
The organizational performance management system should provide state government with clarity of direction and a mechanism to monitor, evaluate, and improve the effectiveness of its programs and services.
Recommendation #6: Clarify the identified primary users of organizational performance management information, their specific information needs, and how they intend to use the information. This requires open, regular dialogue with senior decision makers and staff within and between the offices of the Governor, cabinet secretaries, agency heads, and General Assembly.
Recommendation #7: Ensure that organizational performance management systems are directly related to identified primary users of organizational performance management information, their specific information needs, and how they intend to use the information. Users can include citizens, legislators, money committee staff, executive branch decision makers, and other appropriate legislative and executive personnel.
Recommendation #8: Systematically assess the usefulness of the states' organizational performance management systems to ensure its effectiveness and efficiency.
Recommendation #9: Develop a process that systematically and regularly assesses all performance measures reported by executive and legislative branch agencies for validity, completeness, and accuracy.
Recommendation #10: Maintain a balanced emphasis on using performance information to improve the efficiency, quality, and effectiveness of government services and using the information to enhance accountability of state agencies and programs.
Recommendation #11: Develop agency incentives for using performance information to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their programs.
Recommendation #12: Consider requiring agencies to provide public notice that they will be changing their publicly reported strategic plans and/or performance measures.
The organizational performance management system should build informed audiences, including citizens and members of the executive and legislative branch agencies.
Recommendation #13: Increase dialogue and collaboration between the legislative and executive branches regarding the uses and needs of organizational performance management information.
Recommendation #14: Ensure that a broad range of performance information on the effectiveness and efficiency of state programs is publicly accessible.
Recommendation #15: Consider adding additional features on Virginia Results, including the creation of discussion forums, listing upcoming training events, recognizing agencies that excel in using organizational performance management tools and information, and listing best organizational performance management practices.
Recommendation #16: Consider requiring all executive and legislative branch agencies to develop communication strategies.
State organizational performance management systems should directly support strengthening the results-orientation of government. This can be accomplished by providing incentives for improved performance, training to enhance the competency of the state's workforce to provide efficient, effective, and high quality services, along with other efforts.
Recommendation #17: Create incentives that support and recognize the use of organizational performance management systems to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of government services. Incentives can take the form of increased flexibility, public recognition, and/or additional funding.
Recommendation #18: Consider offering awards for exemplary design and implementation of organizational performance management systems at the agency or program level, and/or superior performance by agency programs, leadership, and staff.
Recommendation #19: Provide regular training in organizational performance management practices to at-will personnel so that the training accommodates the skill and information needs of these personnel.
PMAC should work to ensure that the Commonwealth's organizational performance management systems are operationally useful and continually improving.
Recommendation #20: Define a set of key outcomes that the PMAC is seeking to achieve and regularly measure progress toward these outcomes.
Recommendation #21: Include in the annual PMAC report a ranking of the degree to which PMAC recommendations from the prior year have been implemented (using the following four point scale: not implemented, partially implemented, mostly implemented, fully implemented).

Is it possible to access SSH/FTP through port tunnelling or proxy or something?
I'm not exactly sure what i'm asking for but the problem i'm facing is: i want to access my home NAS (linux) box from work. However my works proxy is pretty much locked down i can't ftp, ssh, ftps.. everything is pretty much blocked.
I can WebDAV into the box, as expected as this is port 80.. so is there any way i can access ssh/ftp over port 80? Obviously i can't listen on port 80 since it's already in use but i can change the ports to anything else not in use.
WebDAV would be suitable but since it treats all files like http requests it's hard to do web development from the box, if there is an error in the PHP file. then opening the file will just display the error, rather than the code. It's the same with .htaccess files and such, they are blocked from direct http access.
I'm not sure if either solution would be possible:- Make WebDAV work like FTP... may be some apache configs or something?- Port tunnelling or some sort of service to allow access to FTP/SSH over a proxy?
I don't need a lecture about trying to go outside of company networks, policies or going around firewalls. I manage the whole network it is the external firewalls whats blocking but the guys who manage it are a nightmare ignore emails and never get the job done. I've been complaining about FTP access for years as we struggle to update our own website, they say it should work, logs say otherwise.. They haven't given me full access to the proxy firewall, even though they should, i've given up trying and want to see if there is another method?
Easy solution would be to bump WebDAV off of port 80 and then put SSH on there and tunnel through that. Or get another box that can be your port 80 SSH tunnel.
You will need to make sure that you first open a VPN tunnel before accessing this publicly; otherwise watch out how fast you get hacked or payload dropped. Be careful with this.

Do the following,
In Analytics . Goto Administrations -> Manage Privilages ->
Here you can set the previleges for all the objects.
Ex :- under Answers , create view , click on BI Author , Add user/role search for 'My Administrator Role' set permission granted.
By default 'My Administrator Role' should have got the permission, you must have missed something somewer.
Check this works, If not please write back, let me go on detail and let me know wats the reason,
Please mark if this helps,
3. Re: obiee permissions887859 Dec 27, 2012 9:03 AM (in response to fiaz0419)Hi Fiaz,
yep, I granted already permission to my roles.
okay if I map the default groups (BIAdministrator, BIAuthor and BIConsumers) to my roles it seem to work eveything fine, but if I add/map (for me means same thing) single users (retrieved from LDAP) to my roles, then the added users has not permissions (view/edit/..) to the catalog objects.
thanks for your reply guys.
4. Re: obiee permissionsgerardnico Dec 29, 2012 10:19 PM (in response to 887859)Hy Sam,
Try to create an application role without space in the name such as MyAdminRole.
The permissions for an application role on Presentation Services are given only in the privileges tab.
- you just create a simple application role,
- add a group of a user to this application role
- login in BI Presentation Services (Dashboard)
- check that the user has get the good application role (as you have done) in my account.
5. Re: obiee permissions887859 Jan 7, 2013 5:43 PM (in response to gerardnico)Hi Nico,
yep, its all working properly.
Many thanks.

If Britney Spears and Elton John had a child…
Not sure that going for 'Britney Spears Look Alike Champion 2011' is the best career move these days, but its probably a step up for Mischa.
holy shit i thought that was brittany, with that face and the whole book upside down thing
I thought it was Kaylee Cuoco from Big Bang Theory?!!!!!
Beer goggles are supposed to be a concept, not an accessory.
Looks like Mischa and Khloe are members of the sisterhood of the traveling fat pants.

We kick off our series of Board Game Holiday Shopper guides with probably the most difficult of gaming archetypes: The Family Gamer. Our goal was to compile a list of fun games where each in the list spans the interest levels of younger players, and teens, and even become challenging and interesting for the elder folks playing them, too.
Our shortlist of criteria for the best Holiday Gift Family Games:
There's no surprise that this list jives with many characteristics of Eurogames which came out of Germany in the 1990's - since they were designed for exactly this type of gaming. Also, these games listed here would be great for non families, too, like any social board game group looking to get together a few times a month to play games and just hang out.
And here's our list of Family Games for the 2007 Holiday Season without further ado:
Ticket to Ride Switzerland [Amazon, Funagain]
Switzerland is an expansion, but in reality any Ticket to Ride game would do. The series is about collecting cards to lay down a series of rail lines, connecting cities to your rail network spanning the board and scoring points in the process. All of the games mix together fast turn speed, a colorful board, and fun gameplay to keep everyone interested. The game mechanics themselves are easy to pick up and leave a lot of room for clever moves, which means players spanning all ages will find something to enjoy. We play it all the time and we're manly in our 30s.
Ticket to Ride: Marklin is our favorite stand alone title so far, followed by Ticket to Ride Europe, and then the original Ticket to Ride bringing up the rear.
This latest installment in late 2007 is the Ticket to Ride Switzerland expansion which is shorter game that's great for 2-3 players. This is a great pickup for any fan of the game who already has Ticket to Ride Europe or the original Ticket to Ride (a copy of one or the other is required to play this expansion.) Switzerland condenses the board and makes things a bit more competitive which is a nice change of pace for the series where direct competition barely occurs, and only then in the late game. Plus the expansion's new mechanics don't recycle the gameplay like most expansions do, but make the game feel very fresh and different from the other titles. Current Ticket to Ride owners will be quite pleased right out of the box! For more information see our Ticket to Ride Switzerland release story.
Pillars of the Earth [Amazon, Funagain]
Pillars of the Earth is the next step of complexity - it's not quite fit for the younger crowds but it plays so very well and is one of the better releases this year. Modeled after the bestselling Pillars of the Earth novel by Ken Folett, the board game adaptation has players running a build site for a medieval cathedral. Players bid on goods and then use their own custom workforce to fashion pieces of the cathedral for prestige.
Pillars is a very dynamic game that builds over a set number of turns to a dramatic conclusion. Each stage mixes the things up an injects new workers into the work pool for players to augment their own workforce, new characters into the game, and exterior events. Coupled with a slick turn draw mechanic which has players bidding on actions, no two turns are ever the same, and thus no two games are ever the same.

Carcassonne Big Box [Amazon, Funagain]
Carcassonne is perhaps our favorite 'old school' Eurogame (our review). It's quite the popular line of games, up there with the venerable Settlers of Catan, and has spawned many expansions since its release in 2000. Last year Rio Grande Games just released a version with the original Carcassonne title and its four original expansions in one big box (a new expansion is slated for release this winter).
The game plays like a puzzle meets the zen-like Othello, and like that classic title Carcassonne is easy to learn but takes a lifetime to master. As the medieval landscape unfolds through tile draws and placements the players chose to assign workers to various parts of the board. Farms score points for being placed on large fields, monks earn points for completing monasteries, and knights lord of castles. So much fun and interesting that you simply can't go wrong with this one.
Blokus [Amazon, Funagain]
The competitive puzzle game pronounced block-us won the Mensa Best Mind Game 2003 is still on Holiday list. Why? Because it has staying power and is only now becoming broad reaching success.
Players complete against one another placing tetris like colored pieces so that each piece is only connected diagonally. If you can place a piece without it being adjacent to another one of your own pieces then you've lost, and of course the other players are trying to pant you into a corner with their own pieces. So simple, so good for kids, and a chess match for adults, Blokus is bright addition to a game stack and really gets your mind grooving..
Settlers of Catan 4th Edition [Amazon, Funagain]
The Settlers of Catan is probably more responsible for bringing board gaming coming back into the mainstream of American gaming than any other title in the modern era. The game has a random board, colorful tiles, great turn order, and strong Monopoly undertones. It remains one of the best gateway games of choice to get families and friends back into the social aspect of board games again, and now it's receiving a well-desrved facelift. The 4th Edition of this title sports better artwork, better materials, and a slick harnessing tool that locks the tile-based board into place. Table bumps, clumsy hands, and flailing arms will ruin your game no more.
This new edition is a great facelift for anyone who has a tired version of the game kicking around, and is the best incarnation of the title for those new to the Catan series.

Welcome back to Earth, Yangervis Solarte.
The former New York Yankee turned San Diego Padre is having a revival of sorts in his short time with his new team.
Since playing his first game with the Padres on July 23, Solarte is 8-for-28 (.286) with two homers and six RBI. In fact, he's had at least one RBI in six of his first seven games.
Solarte cranked out one of his two homers with San Diego on Tuesday night:
Solarte is starting to look like the guy who led the American League in average at the beginning of the year. His stroke looks to be confident again and his ability as a line-drive hitter is showing the same signs of promise it did before he was sent down to the minors.
Before Yankees fans start flipping their lid about dealing Solarte, just remember that the man they acquired in exchange for Solarte, Chase Headley, has a hit in every game he's played for the Bronx Bombers thus far, with one homer and four RBI. He also notched a walk-off single in his very first game just hours after getting off the plane and shaving.
Both players have paid dividends early on, but we won't truly know who gets the better of the deal until much further down the road.
Solarte has the potential to be a guy who contributes long term to the Padres, or he could go on another downward spiral like the one that got him traded out of the Bronx in the first place. Headley, who is set to become a free agent next year, could be auditioning for a job with the Yankees in 2015 or with another team entirely.
Regardless, the Headley-Solarte trade is something that has been beneficial for both sides.
Seeing your team play in the SuperBowl is priceless. Watching the SuperBowl live in the stands for $1 per week is beyond priceless. Find out how at TicketScore.com, the future of Championship Tickets.

Aggravation Watch
Other charges that have consumers fuming are the fees related to unwanted text messages or SMS (Short Message Service) messages. The problem has quickly come to a head for consumers as advertisers test the limits of mobile marketing with unsolicited messages that users are charged for. Depending on the cell plan, users pay either a set fee for each message that is sent or received, or a flat rate for a set number of messages. Worse, you typically cannot avoid unsolicited text messages unless you configure your service to block all SMS messages, according to the Federal Trade Commission.
Florida-based C & C Global Enterprises got hit with a lawsuit by Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan after it allegedly sent millions of unsolicited text messages to Illinois wireless phones last November. Madigan says its Consumer Protection Division has 256 complaints from consumers saying they received these unsolicited text messages from C & C Global. Messages sent to cell phones told users that "We have someone interested in buying or renting your Time Share" and directed them to log on to www.webuyresorts.com or www.resortsellers.com for more information (these URLs are not currently working). The Illinois lawsuit alleges that these messages violate the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and the state Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act.
C & C did not reply to e-mail sent to an address listed under the company's domain name registration, and did not answer its phones.
An Arizona court ruled in 2005 that the TCPA, which prohibits unsolicited phone calls to cell phones, also applies to SMS or text messaging. The defendant in the case, a mortgage firm by the name of Acacia, tried to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, but the appeal was rejected this year, so the Arizona ruling stands. It applies, however, only to mass e-mailings delivered to cell phones as SMS messages; customers remain unprotected if an individual uses a cell phone to send spammy text messages, say sources at the FTC familiar with the case.
The Mobile Marketing Association, an industry trade group, has recently developed guidelines for strictly policing text messaging ads, such as a double opt-in requirement where you must confirm your subscription. Marketers must now agree to abide by these MMA guidelines to gain access to carriers' customers. (See "Is That a Sales Pitch in Your Pocket?" Consumer Watch, January, for more.)
Fee and Reception Frustrations
The American Association of Retired Persons and other consumer groups want to get more information from carriers about another often mysterious portion of cell phone bills: the taxes and user fees levied by local, state, and federal agencies. These taxes average 14 percent of a cell phone bill, according to the CTIA, and can be as high as 21 percent in states like Nebraska.
Such taxes and fees are often not factored in when wireless plans are marketed to the public, says Bill Ferris, a lobbyist for the AARP. For that reason, the AARP is fighting to allow cell phone customers to cancel their contract 15 days after receiving their first bill without getting hit with an early termination fee. The CTIA argues that early termination fees, which can be as high as $250, ultimately keep the price of wireless service and handsets low because they go toward helping companies recoup the cost of customer acquisitions, the administrative costs for creating and cancelling accounts, the cost of handsets, and so on.
These contracts have one simple purpose: to make it prohibitively expensive to dump a bad wireless service, counters Ben Schwartzman, an attorney with the Boise, Idaho, firm Greener, Banducci, Shoemaker. The firm is suing T-Mobile over the company's early contract-termination fees. Schwartzman says his firm decided to sue T-Mobile when several of the firm's attorneys discovered they couldn't get service on their new T-Mobile phones in remote parts of Idaho where they did business. The lawsuit, filed in an Idaho U.S. District Court, claims the $200 flat fee that T-Mobile charges when customers cancel service before the end of a contract violates consumer protection laws in 13 states. A T-Mobile spokesperson declined to comment, saying the company does not talk about pending litigation.
Solutions in Sight?
Some consumer advocacy organizations, such as the U.S. Public Interest Research Group, are turning to government for a solution. U.S. PIRG has been lobbying for truth-in-billing legislation, and its efforts, along with those of similar groups, are paying off as legislative proposals appear in several states around the country.
At least three states are currently dealing with wireless billing issues. California lawmakers have been pushing a Telecommunication Consumer Bill of Rights. Minnesota legislators are considering a statute establishing consumer protection for cell phone users. Similar efforts are under way in New York where the AARP is backing legislation forcing cell phone companies to make bills easier to understand and allow customers to cancel service contracts without penalties.
Wireless carriers oppose state-level regulations. They would prefer to have a single federal agency, such as the Federal Communications Commission, set national standards. "Complying with disparate regulatory regimes will only increase customer costs and slow innovation," CTIA president and CEO Steve Largent said in a statement.
At this writing in early 2007, none of the proposed consumer protection laws for cell phone users have yet been passed.

When do I have to hand in my notice?
The terms and conditions of teachers in maintained schools are set out in the Burgundy Book. It states that teachers only have the right to leave at the end of a term. To do so, they must give two months notice during the Autumn or Spring Terms, and three months notice in the Summer Term. Headteachers must give an additional month's notice. Resignation dates are set out below:
Resignation dates
Note that terms are considered to end at the end of the months shown, despite holidays
Although teachers often to refer to half-term holidays as resignation dates, note that the exact dates by which resignations must be offered are the last days of the respective calendar months.
Will I get paid for the holidays?
Teachers on permanent contracts should be paid up until the end of the month in which they leave (e.g. to 31st December). The only difference is where a teacher starts a new job after Easter but before 30 April, in which case the old school is only expected to pay up to the date before they start at a new school.
Can I leave at half term?
Can I leave at any other time?
If you wish to leave at any other time of the year, or with any other period of notice, then you will need to do so with the agreement of your Headteacher and Governing Body. Many people do resign and leave at other times (e.g. half term) for personal reasons, such as a partner's job relocation. If this is something you are considering, early contact with your Headteacher may allow you to negotiate an early release.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks edged higher Thursday as investors weighed stronger September retail sales in the U.S. against a decision by the European Central Bank not to lower interest rates.
Target, Nordstrom, Macy's and other retailers reported September sales results that beat Wall Street's expectations. While some of the sales were driven by deep discounts, analysts said higher sales figures suggested the U.S. economy was not falling into another recession.
"The market has been pricing in an out-and-out recession, but the fact that consumer spending is holding up shows that we're more likely to continue muddling through at a 1 to 2 percent growth rate," said Brain Gendreau, market strategist at Cetera Financial Group.
The Dow Jones industrial average gained 28 points, or 0.3 percent, to 10,967 as of 11:00 a.m. Eastern.
The S&P 500 rose 4, or 0.4 percent, to 1,148. The Nasdaq composite added 19, or 0.8 percent, to 2,480.
Consumer discretionary stocks led the market higher after the stronger retail sales reports. Target Corp. jumped 4 percent after its September sales beat Wall Street's expectations.
Investors also remained focused on Europe's debt problems. The European Central Bank offered new emergency loans to European banks. It also announced that it would buy bonds issued by banks, making it easier for them to lend.
Investors have been worried that major European banks could face big losses if Greece defaults on its debt, as many expect will happen. That would likely cause the value of Greek debt held by those banks to fall sharply in value. If that causes a big enough shock to those banks they could stop lending to each other, causing another freeze in global credit markets, as happened following the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008.
The European Central Bank disappointed some investors, however, by announcing that it would keep interest rates unchanged. Analysts were hoping the bank would cut rates to encourage lending and give a boost to Europe's sagging economy.
In the U.S., the Labor Department said the number of new applications for unemployment benefits rose slightly last month to 401,000. While that is a signal that the job market continues to be weak, the increase was slightly less than what Wall Street economists had predicted, a signs that layoffs are easing. Unemployment benefits typically need to fall below 375,000 to signal job growth.
Corning Inc. rose 3.1 percent after it said it would increase its dividend and buyback shares. Apple Inc. rose 1 percent. The company said company co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs died Wednesday. Several analysts and large investors said Thursday they believe the company would continue to grow under new CEO Tim Cook.

I saw the Butterfly Effect on video recently. I had heard good things about it so I was looking foreward to it. I wasn't bad but it wasn't worthy of recommendation IMO.
Things I find unbelievable in movies or inconsistant generally distract me out of the movie so here's a few of the problems I had with the Butterfly Effect
(*) The biggest disappointment for me was the scene where he goes back in time to save the mom and baby from dying from the exploding mailbox. Clearly he was in control of himself. He already had experience with this time-travel like condition so there no excuse of being disoriented and yet completely out of character like a dumbass he walks right into the explosion. That made absolutely no sense and was clearly written just to for the consequences later.
(*) The scene where Lenny kills Tommy also seemed out of sink to me and while I could buy it, they never explained why he couldn't just go back to that same point in time and replay it. Clearly all he needed to do was go back, not give Lenny a sharp object and say what he said to Tommy again to get him to stop. Same with the scene above. Go back, don't walk like a dumbass straight into the explosion. Still, I'll except that idea that he can only go back once to each location. That absolves this issue but not the one above.
(*) The scene where he goes back to elemetry school and punctures his hands. The inconsistancy is that THE FRIGGEN MOVIE IS CALLED THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT. That means by the title of the movie a small change in anything should have a big effect on the future. Having changed the past in that scene he would no longer be standing in the prison since by "the Butterfly Effect" the effects would have propgated. He would have had to go to the hospital or at least the nurse changing his whole day back then, changing the reaction of his mom, changing how serious she would take the murder drawing, etc. etc.
Even more inconsistant through, in the "new" world, the world with his hands having scars, everyone would know him is the guy with scars on his hands. The cellmate would not have noticed the change. Coming back from his hand puncturing episode the cellmate would be like "ah, you've always had those scars, what's your point?".
(*) The final scene. Having established that he can only go back to times where he blanked out in childhood we have to except that somehow he had a blankout episode as a baby in the womb. In fact, in all other scenes he is only able to go back based on his memories but we are supposed to accept that he has memories of being in the womb? Yea, I know babies do remember stuff in the womb but they are not concrete memories enough to visualize actually being there of the kind he required in every other scene.
(*) If you haven't seen Donnie Darko stop reading, more spoilers follow.
While the two movies are not THAT similar they do share a common resolution. In both movies the characters figure out that their death eariler in their life would have been best for everyone involved.
Donnie Darko is a slow creepy movie. It doesn't have any real time travel etc but it also has a more arguable resolution. It's only 30 days worth of effects he's considering and we can except that his death at the beginning of those 30 days prevents many of the bad events that happen during those 30 days.
In Donnie Darko you can even assume that he has not choice, the 30 days of experiences is just for him to come to terms with his death.
With the Butterfly Effect though, it's 20 years of effects. We don't know his death would have really fixed anything. Although we are told they do he doesn't get to know that, remember he only gets the new memories AFTER he gets back from an episode. As far as he gets to know because he wasn't born mom gets massively depressed from a 3rd stillborn baby and commits suicide, Tommy and Kayleigh's Mom's new husband is child abuser, etc. etc. The point is, there is no way for him to know his death as a baby would actually have a positive outcome and if like in every other case he was wrong and it actually caused more problems, in this one case, he can't go back and try to fix them again.

Hello! I thought I would share my experience here too since all the other reviews have been so helpful and inspiring for me. I am 28, married mother of 2 children, 5'6 and 135 lbs. I have always had a small chest, never got out of a A cup except briefly when I was attempting to breast feed and barely (sadly) filled a B bra, just to deflate into something even smaller than before when weight was lost from the pregnancy.
This is something I have always wanted, something that I feel will change me and the way I view myself for the better. I have many fears I guess like everyone else, but for the most part I'm just excited! I went today for my pre-op exam, and have decided on 475cc saline rounds. Its only really from this site that I knew sort of what I wanted and the little details of stuff.
After measuring my body, and looking over the photos taken, and what I said I 'wanted'. The doctor originally suggested 500cc's but when I tried them on they seemed huge/heavy so I asked for slightly smaller as I'm aiming for full c or d-...believe it or not, taking that one ounce out made a difference for me at least in the practice bra anyways. I hope that is the perfect size as from what I've read going smaller is harder once you go big.
My Surgery is scheduled for next Wednesday 2-22-2012, and I'm feeling more apprehensive about the general anesthesia than the surgery itself...mostly because the nurse (worked for the hospital, not my PS) who was discussing that with me was being rather morbid and I felt she was enjoying creeping me out. Here's the thing... My husband has been away for training he is a solder, we have not even been together for valentines day, so when he gets home this will be a BIG surprise hahah! :D
He has no idea I'm doing this (but don't worry, he's gonna love it and would want me to anyways!) I will be uploading some before photos, and post op early on...and follow up week by week...because personally I really like to see the transition.

Representative Sandy Adams (FL-24) released the following statement after SpaceX's private space capsule Dragon returned safely to Earth from the International Space Station.
"I want to congratulate SpaceX on their leap into the history books today. From the launch of the Dragon capsule atop the Falcon rocket, to the berthing of the first private spacecraft with the International Space Station, the SpaceX team has proven that American ingenuity and the entrepreneurial spirit knows no limits. With the completion of this demonstration mission, we can once again look forward to American astronauts launching on American rockets built by an American workforce."

 I would think that you would want to work out the bugs with the new
 version before you updated and started using KDE 4.1 Beta. Some things
 that were working before such as doing a port upgrade and also being able
 to install new programs is broken because of how it was done. I for one
 will be installing some thing else until you make up your mind what you
 want to do. I do not like going from an alpha version that was stable and
 working to including a beta version of some thing that is not stable and
 probably will not be until version 4.2 or maybe even later. I liked the
 fact that this was not included before. I like the freebsd way of doing
 things and now you are screwing with that.

I think the real problem here, is that you are using a Alpha version of PC-BSD
regressions are normal at this stage of the release cycle.

Most reviewers didn"t like the one-two punch provided by Eminem and Jay-Z"s opening night of a four-date tour Sept. 2, they loved it. The rap titans are playing two shows at Detroit"s Comerica Stadium before taking their road show to New York"s Yankee Stadium.
"You wanted history? They gave you history," wrote Detroit News pop music writer Adam Graham. The pair, who did not perform together, were joined by a number of other artists, including Drake, 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks and Dr. Dre.
Near the end of his set, an emotional Eminem nearly teared up while introducing 'Not Afraid," Graham continued. "He dedicated the song to fans who stuck with him through years of career turbulence, and dedicated the song to his hometown. He closed the show with "Lose Yourself," toying with his live band during the extended outro before a flurry of fireworks marked the close of the show.
The love from the crowd was not lost on Jay, and he gave it right back at the end of his 82-minute set. "I wanna say I had an incredible time with y'all tonight, this is one of the best experiences of my entire life," he said. He closed with "Encore" and raised his arms in victory as he walked off the stage.
Billboard"s Gary Graff writes that He also praised Jay-Z , for doing "his part to get the stadium shows off on a good foot with an energetic, aggressive and loud 80-plus minutes, during which he and his band throwed through more than 30 songs — all without making the set feel crammed or rushed. Dressed all in black (of course) and sporting sunglasses (of course), Jay-Z came out swinging hard with an opening salvo of "Dynasty," "Run This Town," "Free Mason," "On to the Next One" and "D.O.A.," prowling the front of the centerfield stage as a large oval screen mixed live close-ups with video images."
"Eminem set out to confront his past demons, put them to rest and claim a victorious and potent present," Graff continued, "which he largely did during an exhaustive, guest-filled 100-minute performance at Detroit's Comerica Park that spanned his entire recording career with full or partial performances of 33 songs."
MTV"s Sway and Shaheem Reid live blogged the show. Sway wrote: "Wow the crowd explodes when Jay does "99 Problems." Detroit has one of the most diverse hip-hop demograpics in the country. People from age 11 to 55 are dancing on the field. Its a party in Motown!"
Sway later writes: Eminem is seriously making a case for the top slot in this year's Hottest MC's round table! This Forever verse sounds ridiculous! Em shouts out Drake, "this is history in the making," says Drake "make some noise for the legend Eminem!"
It will be interesting to see how the dynamic changes once the two-some hit Jay-Z"s home turf on Sept. 13-14 at Yankee Stadium.

A MULTI-MILLION transformation of Waltham Forest's biggest college is under way.
New facilities at Waltham Forest College in Forest Road, Walthamstow, will include a new learning centre, a student union and a market place with a butcher and baker when the partly government-funded scheme is completed in September 2013.
The new buildings are hoped to change the learning experience of many of the 14,000 students aged 14 upwards enrolled at the college, rated satisfactory by Ofsted in 2010.
Work has started on the learning centre, which will include a workshop, two classrooms and a craftroom, and will also lead onto a landscaped courtyard with a recreation area, paid for with £3.3 million raised through a government grant as well as a bank loan last year.
A new grant of £4.9 million raised through the Skills Funding Agency and the school's own investments will pay for a new market place and a start-up business centre for new enterprises, as well as a 70-seater state-of-the-art lecture theatre to meet an expanding intake.
The college's Lowery Building will also get a facelift, while fashion workshops will be renovated into bright, modern workspaces.
A new student zone, including a student union, will replace an ageing learning resource centre on the third floor, where students will be able to relax and take part in activities after lessons.
Principal Robin Jones said: "It's going to enormously improve the experience of students here. Our students deserve state-of-the-art facilities to go on and have successful careers and we are providing that.
"Attendance and punctuality have got better this year already so hopefully people are keener to come in to work in the new environment.
"We are committed to ensuring that our students and staff enjoy teaching and learning in the most up-to-date facilities we can provide."
Mr Jones said the college, which celebrates its 75th anniversary next year, missed out on an £86 million renovation not related to the abandoned Building Schools For the Future project when the government began implementing cuts.

Dash and Splash is a fantastically fun canine activity hitting UK shores after having been popular in the United States of America for several years. A Dash and Splash event involves the competing dogs galloping down a 30ft runway before launching themselves with wagging tails into 40 foot specially designed swimming pool. Sounds a bit bonkers doesn't it?
So how does the event work?
At these well organised events dog and dog handler begin placed at the back of the 30ft deck ready and waiting to spring into action. When the call comes, the dog is released from his lead and thunders off down the ramp and upon reaching the pool a ball or toy is thrown into the clear blue pool. Your canine friend then revels in excitedly getting to leap into the pool, reaching his toy and swimming to the ramp to a cheering crowd. This winner of the competition is the dog that produces the longest jump; which is cleverly recorded electronically!
Dash and Splash is a fun summer activity for dog, owner and the adoring crowd. The events are kept safe with multiple organisers including a supervisor placed in the water to help get the dogs out of the pool. Organiser Anton Wittwer says "There is a lot of noise and kids love to sit right next to the pool because they get wet!" Last year up to 700 dogs per event were entered to joyfully dash and splash across England.
Any dogs competing should be fit, healthy, mobile and fed a balanced and nutritious diet. A dog competing regularly in Dash and Splash could benefit from the inclusion of a joint supplement in their diet in order to protect and prevent against wear and tear.
Scientific Nutritional Products offer a range of supplements to including joint health supplements for dogs. The ethos of the company is refreshing, manufacturing high specification dog supplements without compromise, selling directly to customers through their website; www.horsesupplementsdirect.co.uk in order to make their products exceptional value for money. For more information or to receive one-to-one advice specific to your dog contact our nutritional specialist Peter Fishpool on FREEPHONE 0800 032 7774.

If you have a spare computer with 2 ethernet ports, you could set up its
iptables to pass everything through from one port to the other, then if
you need to, clone the ethernet port MAC to satisfy your ISP, then
connect this computer in between your m0n0wall machine and the cable
If you run Wireshark and capture all of the packets around the time of
the IP lease loss, you can see what is going on.
Do the same hookup, but with your PC that does not loose its IP at

Secrond is a light-weight cron implementation that allows running of user-specified programs at periodic scheduled times, handling tasks in intervals of seconds rather than minutes, as well as hours and days. While it is possible to achieve similar behavior by using a traditional cron daemon and adding calls to sleep() to the programs executed, it is impractical.
Viper is a system for completely automated installation and configuration of Debian GNU/Linux-based systems. It uses a modern approach with debian-installer and puppet, works with existing Debian packages, and does not require any custom patching of either install media, client, or server. The basis of the whole system is an LDAP server containing all configuration data.

As for pharmacists, they have mighty powers indeed. They could lose their own license (and voting rights, several years of their lives, etc.) if they give a bad prescription: i.e. if a bug-eyed gent comes in at 2 a.m. with a piece of kleenex emblazoned "GIV HEM SOME DRGZ
That doesn't exactly zip the Suhthuhn Baptists to the top of the attention queue tho. For example, I'd be rather more interested in what Egyptian Copts think of the whole situation.
It's why I find "this car will be unattended in event of Rapture" bumper stickers disturbing; there you have someone proclaiming that they're actually looking forward to the end of the world. Now more than ever, I find that outlook chilling.
Yow! Can you feel the Industrial Light and Magic?
As for the other guy being interviewed, I thought it was interesting to hear an Episcopalian of Palestinian descent quote Gandhi making an observation on a passage from the Old Testament. Go figure!
BTW, I usually read the New Testament once or twice a year, and it doesn't have near as much to say about Jewish people as folks say it does. There's a lot of attitudes toward the Jews, both good and bad, that people impute to the New Testament that just aren't there.

The Balenciaga spring 2014 ready-to-wear runway show featured one of the riskiest style trends out there: super short hemlines. The line featured ensembles in predominately solid and neutral colors, with a few feminine patterns thrown in here and there. There were some extremely short skirts, dresses and shorts styled with hints of elegance. The line is beautiful, classic and sophisticated. When I first scanned over this show, I thought of the movie The Devil Wears Prada. It's one of those runway shows where you actually would want to wear an ensemble straight from the runway, accessories and all.
Shorter hemlines have taken the world by storm, and they aren't going anywhere anytime soon. If I had the legs of these models, I would rock hemlines as short as theirs. Shorter hemlines make your legs look longer and leaner if worn right, especially when you add a pair of heels. While people may look at shorter hemlines as trashy and too "night prowler," I think they can be chic in if paired with the right accessories. As long as it isn't a bandage skirt clenching to every curve on your body (save those for the frat houses ladies), a short dress or skirt can be feminine and sophisticated.
This week I decided to channel my inner Southern Fashionista and break out the preppy Lilly Pulitzer dress. It's full of vibrant playfulness, yet it has a pretty short hemline. But it's Lilly, so of course it is still stylish and tasteful. The vivid pink and green floral pattern is perfect for a gorgeous sunny day of work and strutting the streets of downtown. Just wearing this dress put me in an incredibly happy mood. I paired the cheerful dress with a pair of strappy, white heels to make my legs look longer. I accessorized with a sparkly gold ring, dangly gold earrings and an "N" monogrammed necklace.
Don't be afraid to show some leg with some class! Be confident, and be bold.
Get My Look: 1. A radiant, short dress. 2. A complementing pair of heels. 3. A glistening ring.
