I am interested and would like to devote my time to testing out some of the latest technological phones/tablets. I am very efficient when it comes to technology and will express my opinions on the hardware, softtware, etc. I like to be relatively genuine when testing out devices so that I can relate more to the people of whom are curious about the phone/tablets capabilities. I'd love to be a part of the Telstra #MobileInsider team! -You can contact me through my twitter account @AllyTechReviews
It might be worth a mention that I'm an avid modder too. I'm more than happy to unlock the Z3, flash popular ROMs such as CyanogenMod and even build AOSP for the Z3 as Sony release binaries. Obviously this would only be useful if Telstra and the community here were interested in this perspective, if not then I'd be happy to keep my modding habits to other devices and maintain the Z3 exactly how Telstra/Sony provide it.
I haven't owned a Sony product (excluding a PlayStation) since the Walkman (the tape one) so actually seriously just want to see their new design direction, and also see if they still live up to those high standards.
Probably listen to at least 4 hours of music a day, and being waterproof might actually mean I can go running in the rain/sweat while still jamming out. I mean, honestly, as a person who doesn't use a phone case, literally the only other worry I have with my phone is water, so to have a phone that doesn't even carry that burden is also pretty intriguing. Also, it'd fit well with my Fitbit, which is also water-proof (and is a good test of battery, simply chews through my iPhone's)
I've had friends with Walkman MP3 players too, so would love to see the difference in sound-quality between this phone and a budget phone. The little details mean a lot to me, particularly things like that.
Not exactly huge on Android (though my memories are probably 3 years old), though Android Lollipop is actually pretty interesting, and mind tempt me away from my trusty iPhone, if you're lucky . In terms of writing a review, I'm not really scared of saying how it feels, how it works, and how well it actually fits into my life, so if you want someone who's honest, I'm the guy. In the end, you shouldn't have to work to use a phone, it should work to meet your needs.
Oh this is a great opportunity to get my hands on my first Soney Xperia. My field of work is technology and software and have a very good understanding of the mobile platforms and their specs. I've used a vast variety of mobile handsets and currently have HTC One, Lumia and iPhone 6. With nearly 2000 twitter followers many would like to see me reviewing a new phone. I blieve honesty is very important when it comes to review. I can be active in twitter and am happy to post a video on YouTube.
Moving from a very well used Galaxy S3 I would like to experiment with the Sony Z3 in all it's different environments. Taking advantage of its features such as being waterproof I would take it everywhere, using it in the rain, under water, etc. I enjoy taking photos and would love to make use of the 20mp camera, while using a several year old waterproof camera to document some of the times I would be using the Z3! Also pairing it with my PS4 I would test the remote play feature to play my games throughout the house as well as continuing to play games on my phone on trips. With a decent amount of Android knowledge, including starting to develop (basic) apps, I believe I would be able to support users in a easy to understand way.
I have the Xperia Z and plunge it into water once I got home from Telstra shop.
Would love to be part of mobile phone review team (#MobileInsider)
And also, I'm part of CrowdSupport community now providing other Telstra customer support.
If I'm selected to be part of #MobileInsider team, I am able to provide better support when I'm needling.
I have not been brave enough to jump on board the Smart Phones yet - I think one of my reasons is that I'm worried about them getting wet - we seem to replace our home cordless phone annually because at some time or another over the summer season it either gets left outside by the pool and rained on or ends up in the pool! The sony Xperiea Z3 seems like the perfect solution and it might just be time to get brave and learn some new tech!! Time for my poor old LG basic phone to retire I think.
I have just stepped away from everything Apple & really want to try this phone. My husband does lawn mowing & is constantly sweating on his phone or getting them wet while working. We also have small children who are constantly trying to get their hands on our phone and dropping them. I was hoping this phone would be the answer to our problems and would love to review it for Telstra. :-)
I'd love to review this phone because I'm looking to find something more practical for my military lifestyle than my iphone. I'm after something with battery life, build quality and reliability that can go for days on the network that can keep me connected wherever work might send me. I'm always running, crawling and climbing in all conditions so a phone that can keep up and doesn't need to be wrapped in bubble wrap all day would be terrific!
I'd love to give this a testing as it would also be tested by my teenage daughter & younger kids. So if you want a realistic un-biased review then I'd do it. I currently have a Sony Xperia M that I am very happy with but would like to give the Z3 a real test of what it can & can't do.
Would love to. Have numerous gadgets of varying brands. Current phone is Z1 which has few flaws. Have used Apple products and also Samsung - current owner of Samsung 12" tablet. Always interested in technology and would like to evaluate Z3, and others.
Use Facebook to keep in touch with friends worldwide, also use email on phone and browse extensively. Phone is used for online banking and for booking flight.
I currently have the Sony Xperia S - which has been a great phone until recently when it started to play up, so I sent it off to be repaired, they said it just needed to be reset. Now working fine so have had no problems, but being 2 years old now I feel it's time to try a newer version! I would love to try the new Sony Xperia X3 to see the changes and test it out. I would leave an honest review and test the phone to it full capacity including taking photos (I take lots and lots of photos and would love to test the capabilities of this 20MP camera and post the photos on social media - actions, stills, landscapes, face detection - testing clarity, colour,and ease of use etc), I would take videos and test the functions that support this, test the general ease of txting, making phone calls, storing contacts etc - and I would be more than happy to answer questions for the following two weeks on crowdsupport in regards to this phone.
I am a mum with 4 kids to keep in touch with (control of). My current phone is small and, even though it has a touch screen, it is not very capable of internet browsing or even adding cool 'emoticons' to my messages. I would love to try a phone that can be used to connect to Facebook (possibly play Facebook games on it???), message and post on Facebook - including sharing posts, pictures and videos (all of which I would hope could be done, recorded and taken using the phone). At the moment, I have a phone to sms and call/receive calls, an iPad to take photos/videos (which I then 'send' to myself via Facebook so I can use my laptop to save the pics/videos on), and I use my laptop for a lot of other stuff, like looking up maps/addresses and so on - which needs to be done at home because my 'mobile' phone is not good enough for 'mobile' internet. I think my life would change quite dramatically if I had an 'all-in-one' (!!!) - including in-car entertainment whilst this taxi-driver-mum waits for kids. As I travel around a lot, I would definitely be able to test its reception capabilities, I have a high, post-paid cap level (which allows for internet surfing, even if my phone doesn't), and I would also be able to test its 'hardiness' - that's right, mums can be nice and gentle with their kids but devices, such as phones, tend to get the other end of the stick - lol.
I have a puppy, who is obsessed with mobile phones. He always licks, lays on, pushes it around. If I was chosen to test the Xperia Z3, it would be from the perspective of the white fluffy puppy and how he uses 'his phone' and lets Dad have a go when he needs to. All from video, photo and text, this puppy has it all covered..
*Me, I am a tech savvy guy with a fast love for all new technology. If they make it, I need to try it..haha*
I would like to test this latest phone. I use my mobile daily for talk/text/photo's and getting on the net. I am ready to start using a mobile for emails and more My opinion would be great from a begginers point of view, setting up etc. .
Would I like to test the Sony Xperia Z3?
Would I like a Messina gelato Pecan Pie Cheesecake smashed with maple syrup and then instagram that on my Sony Xperia Z3? The answer to the above is YES and YES.
Whether you're intagraming every meal, making the most of that huge 20 megapixel camera, or you're kitesurfing and you need a phone capable of standing up to the elements so you can call you friends and let them know a southerly is busting in or you're on a hike and need that extra oomph of that long-life battery to get you those GPS directions or you simply like to surf the web in the bathroom and are prone to watery accidents, what ever it is that you do, what ever it is that is your adventure, this phone will mostly likely pull it off and for the rest ask me to proof your adventure with this phone for you so you can make the right choice and see that the Sony Xperia Z3 is the phone you were going to get anyway.
I would like to test the Sony Xperia Z3 because i have been a telstra customer for the last 25 years and am still using the same phone i had five years ago, i think i could give some interesting feedback as i am interested in photography and also do some surveys online at home, i do hope you consider me as i need a new phone.
Thank you Kossak
I am a big Sony fan and currently have a number of Sony devices - an S, 2 x Z1's, 2 x Z Ultras, a Z1 Compact and a Z2 Tablet, as well as other brands.. so I am familar with the recent offerings and issues and day to day performance in the real world, so I am in a position where I can offer a pretty good, honest and hands on comparison of this new Z3 device against those.
have takother trials and discussion panels for Telstra previously as well.
Steve Williams
I would really like to become a telstra service checker . As I have been a telstra customer for 40 years or more
And I would really like to help them out as much as they've helped me over the years . I use a mobile every day mainly sms . But if I have to make an std call I use the mobile. Or if I have to get in touch with somebody via email I use my mobile if I'm out on the town . So please consider me for a role in your mobile testing group.
Yours sincerely

Hi Kat & Telstralings; I'd love to be invited to engage my social audience with some Sony mobile device goodness. I'm a mobile photographer (DSLR shooter too) and social media photo posting nut with a very large reach on Instagram (@mattglastonbury) and Google Plus (+MattGlastonbury); based in Hobart, Tasmania. I'm a well respected mobile freak, and I'm keen to post some photos like the mobile shot above along-side reviews and phone/image comparisons on my blog, Google Plus, Twitter (@mgglastonbury), YouTube Channel, Instagram and Facebook Page and for sure I'd be happy to chat on with your audience about all things techy on Twitter and CS. Apart from hands-on use, my focus could be more around the camera, (video/stills) editing photos and photographing interesting scenes, landscapes and amazing scenery around Tassie.. I'd LOVE to use the Z3 to take some of my #liquidography reflection shots and share how it performs up agains the iPhone 6 Plus, the Lumia 930 and 1020, the iPhone 5S and Nexus. Our houshold has Lumias, Apples and Androids for comparison too, so picking me will help get your message a little prettier, a little wider, a little faster through. Oogh man, that rhyme was so bad!
Hi I am Bill and I have been a massive tech enthusiast ever since my first smartphone, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8, and had about 4 smartphones since. I am an active senior member on XDA developers.com (profile: http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4279658) and also frequent twitter @billchen0014 to check out the latest in tech, especially in the mobile industry. I have written an article a few years ago for Ausdroid (http://ausdroid.net/2012/08/11/android-is-fragmented-think-again/) . My specific reasons to try out the Xperia Z3 can be summarised as following:
1. Sony was my first smartphone brand, and I'd like to see how much things have improved since then
2. No one around me has a Sony device and I am curious as to why they don't carry one, and I will ask them what they think of it on top of my own personal opinion.
3. I like taking photographs a lot and I have high standards for them, so a 20MP shooter on a phone sounds interesting, the question is, is it too many pixels on such a small sensor? I'd like to answer that.
4. I just like mobile technology in general and to get my hands on the latest and (probably) the greatest is amazing.
5. I am familair with Android and I am willing to answer any questions, throw them my way any time!
6. Waterproof: Oh you bet I am gonna have fun with that!
This is all I have to say. Good luck to all.
Below is a picture taken by me earlier this year on my M8, slightly over edited by Google's Auto Awesome. It'd be interesting to compare the two extremes: Ultra big pixels vs Ultra many pixels.
Bill Chen
Currently an Android user. Would give a fair and balanced account of my use of the device. I utalise my device for work and home, so would be able to give feedback on the business use and leisure use of the phone.
I am a mother of 4 grown sons and one 12 year old son, I love technology, I love social media and have written game reviews. I am an apple fan and can build a PC, I am 42 honest and always tell the truth. I love graphics and good cameras. I would love to test out the Sony Xperia Z3 in my pool with my kids.
I would love to test the Sony Xperia Z3 as have been thinking of getting a Samsung Galaxy S5 as I love my old Samsung Galaxy S2 but I would like to know if any other phone can measure up to the Samsungs. I would also like to help other people to make a decision on phone buying.

Please consider helping us with the Potters Council Mentoring Program... We have a handful of Mentees requesting help with business questions and set-up, marketing plans, and general business advice. It will not take much of your time. Do you mind sharing a few tips, answering a few of their questions, helping a new potter/ceramic artist know the next steps to be an artist full-time and make a living in the art world? It is not an easy endeavor. Your advice will carry art forward and help an artist make it in a world that is not as art-friendly at times. You can set the terms of your contact - if you prefer emails, if you like to talk by phone every other Saturday before noon, etc. You can say how long you can help - a month, three months, six months, etc. We just need a moment of your time to help our fellow artists.

Info on Potters Council Mentoring Program Thank you for your consideration!
Glad you mentioned film. It reviews this debate and guilt. As artist and parent... I work every available moment - but prioritize children first - and understand that my plan can change at any given moment. I schedule studio time next to basketball games and parent conferences. I require my annual art sabbaticals of intense arts immersions at workshops. I find that these getaways help me define my work and really focus on year ahead of me, review my themes, and work out forms and ideas. The children are precious, but I don't give everything away. I hold onto the art side of me and honor the training and pensive work time it requires. Daily battle of balancing. Daily compromises. ...but also daily happiness and daily fulfillment. Latest compromise...creating art on a theme revolving around being a parent. HA!

A visit to Seagrove NC potters
ArtView replied to Bill T.'s topic in Studio Operations and Making WorkI agree with Brenda. The local potters are so gracious and truly enjoy company. If someone is crazy busy, you will be able to judge in the moment. I know you will find open doors and welcoming artists. It is a wonderful experience....share photos or your adventures (and possibly purchases).
ArtView started following Int'l Ceramic Artists Network (ICAN) Operations and Benefits
"I would be a tiled architectural wonder, like Gaudi's Guell Parque in Barcelona..." Marcia: amazing....fits you perfectly~~
Sculptural, Functional....we choose these lines deliberately as artists. As personified art, I would be functional...touched daily (ha!), "good for something," part of life's pulse and collecting energy with good use and experience. {btw, Enjoying the questions and most answers~~~}
To Carl: Thank you for the out-loud laugh...those are the best!
I would bring my very favorite coffee mug by Jeff Brown. It would remind me that artists can find beautiful optimism in any situation by creating. The sgraffito also gives great hand massages after trying to open stubborn coconuts and after ripping off stalks for a hut. Jeff Brown's Website - Pottery for all of your trips to sea
Yippeee! We have good news. A General and Master Mentor reported for duty to help the Mentee! Thank you for your replies and for your interest~~~We appreciate your help and your altruism. Stay tuned for upcoming opportunities or take a look at any open ads to help another clay artist. Thank you again ~~

I don't know about you, but I often find myself overrun with all the seemingly-necessary devices that are just a part of our lives now. The iPhone, obviously. The laptop. The iPad. The DSLR. And all of those that belong to my husband. And those belonging to my children (well, just some very old iPods, but still!).
In an effort to warm up all that technology, and in an effort to keep my hands busy when watching TV or waiting in carpool line, I embarked on a new project. I'm the first to admit, it took me a long time to make it through this one ... I thought it would be quick! (And you'll see, I still have just a few rows to go!)
I am love, love, loving my cross stitch iPhone case, which I found at Purl Soho.
The kit did come with some suggested patterns, but I wanted to do my own take on the ubiquitous chevron design. It's so bright and cheerful, I've never lost it in the bottom of my purse, and never would it get mixed up with a friend's iPhone.
Plus, it's just a great conversation starter!

During the CI initialisation, the driver resets the CI slot and the waits for a CAMREADY interrupt so it can continue with CAM initialisation. However this interrupt never happens and after the timeout expires (10s) the above failure message is printed. To make sure its not just this specific interrupt that is not generated (because of a failed slot reset or something), I started the driver without the CAM present, and then inserted it after the driver had loaded. On my working system this immediately generates a CAMCHANGE interrupt, on which the CAM is initialised. However with this card and CI interface nothing happens. Is it possible that this revision of the CI interface does not work with interrupts and a status polling method has to be used ? Or are the interrupts simply generated on a different mask and thus not picked up ? I would appreciate it if the guys that know this part of the budget_ci code (Andrew, Oliver etc.) could give some feedback. Werner PS. I don't know if this is relevant, but when I received the card it had messed-up/wrong eeprom data. However I only had to change the PCI id (which I determined from the inf file of the TT driver) to get the card working in Windows. If somebody has the same card (13c2:100c) could you please post a dump of your eeprom (i2cdump <i2cbus> 0x50). Thanks.

Chicken Cacciatore (Pollo alla Cacciatore)
from "Lidia's Italian-American Kitchen" by Lidia Bastianich.
"The caccia in cacciatore means "hunt," so this is chicken hunter's-style. Somewhere along the line, probably on its trip from Italy to America, the hunter's pheasant or guinea hen in this dish was replaced by chicken.
If you don't want to cut up a whole chicken, you can buy pieces. Get all legs and thighs, if that's what you like; they are very good in this dish.
It can be made using only chicken breasts if that's your preference, but to keep the chicken from drying out, you should cut the cooking time in half and reduce the wine to 1/4 cup and the tomatoes to 3 cups."
2 broiler chickens (about 2 1/2 pounds each, preferably free-range)
Freshly ground black pepper
All-purpose flour
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup olive oil
1 small yellow onion, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup dry white wine
One 28-ounce can Italian plum tomatoes with liquid, crushed
1 teaspoon dried oregano (preferably the Sicilian or Greek type) dried on the branch, crumbled
2 cups sliced white or shiitake mushrooms, about 8 ounces
1 red and 1 yellow bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch strips (about 2 cups total)
To prepare:
Cut each chicken into 12 pieces. With a sturdy knife or kitchen shears, remove the backbone by cutting along both sides. Remove the wingtips. Reserve the backbone, wingtips, and giblets -- except for the liver -- to make chicken stock. Or, if you like, cut the backbone in half crosswise and add it to this dish.Place the chicken, breast side down, on a cutting board and cut the chicken into halves by cutting through the breastbone lengthwise. Cut off the wing at the joint that connects it to the breast, then cut each wing in half at the joint. Separate the leg from the breast. Cut the leg in half at the joint. Cut the breast in half crosswise, giving the knife a good whack when you get to the bone in separate the breast cleanly into halves. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
Season the chicken pieces generously with salt and pepper. Dredge the pieces in flour, coating them lightly and tapping off excess flour. In a wide (at least 12-inch) 5-quart braising pan, heat the vegetable oil with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil until a piece of chicken dipped in the oil gives off a very lively sizzle.
Add as many pieces of chicken to the pan as will fit without touching. Do not crowd chicken; if the skillet is not wide enough to fit all of the chicken, brown it in batches. Remove chicken pieces from the skillet as they brown, adding some of the remaining pieces of chicken to take their place. Remove all chicken from the skillet.
Add the onion to the fat remaining in the pan, and cook, stirring 5 minutes.Pour the wine into the pan, bring to a boil, and cook until reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and oregano, season lightly with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Tuck the chicken into the sauce, adjust the heat to a gentle boil, and cover the pan.
Cook, stirring a few times, 20 minutes.In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and peppers, and toss until the peppers are wilted but still quite crunchy, about 8 minutes. Season the vegetables with salt.
Stir the peppers and mushrooms into the chicken pan. Cook covered until the chicken and vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Check the level of the liquid as the chicken cooks.
There should be enough liquid barely to cover the chicken. If necessary, add small amounts of water to maintain the level of liquid as the chicken cooks.
Makes 6 servings.
"Note: When you cut up chicken, or anything for that matter, your knife should glide along. If you're struggling, stop for a second and take a look at what you're cutting; you should be cutting between the bones at the joints, not actually cutting through the bones. If you're off target, just wiggle the blade of the knife to get a feel for where the joint is, then make another cut. With practice, you'll get a sense for where the joints lie."
With thanks to my friend Linda, for sharing the recipe.

Hi all!
Exactly one year ago we first let our blue Rokkaku fly with a camera suspended from it. We had so much fun flying, experimenting, learning ... It was a great year and we've compiled an article on Medium about kite aerial photography in general, with some thoughts, personal experiences, tips - and a lot of photos - hoping to inspire and popularize KAP.
Every comment, suggestion - and critique - is gretly appreciated ... 😉

I 've been flying my B series revs the last the three months using the knots suggested in the video that came with the kite. I can manage all the slides and hovers. Recently, someone suggested that I should fly with a longer pigtails because that's is how Team Iquad fly. Being a newbie, I took the suggestion and made some longer pigtails and fly at the most outer knots at possible. The problem is I am not sure why I am doing so. Can someone explain the principal behind this? Thanks!

Looking at a Brand-new 5- piece, 2-wrap frameset for a Revolution 1.5. This frame has never been installed or flown, in original Rev packaging. 2 Wrap rods are the lightest and most fragile rods for outdoor use. These rods have a similar stiffness to the 3-wrap and 4-wrap rods. These rods are best suited for low wind. 2-wrap rods are identified by their label with 2 feathers, the words "Professional Use " with an internal diameter of 1/4 inch.
Drawing will take place in the evening (Mountain-Standard time) of January 5, 2018.
To enter, reply here with "I'm in."
Numbers will be assigned in order of entry, and the Random Number Generator will choose a number. Good luck.
Draw Date January 5, 2018
In so far:
@Breezin @Mike Klaiber @elmo264 @Wooljr Winner is: @Mike Klaiber
Admin approved: One time change to the rules below as I live in Canada - I will ship anywhere in Canada for FREE. My dear American friends who live on the Continental USA (Including Alaska) I am most pleased to carry the bulk of the shipping cost but request $10 cdn to offset some of the cost to ship to the Land of the Free & Home of the Brave.
Some rules and guidelines:
Don't play unless you're willing to put up a prize and ship it to whoever wins.
Shipping is paid by the original poster, the winner pays nothing. Be prepared to ship your prize anywhere in the lower 48 US States. Sorry, but due to shipping costs, we really have to limit this to the lower 48 US States.
RULE CHANGE (7/31/2014): Members from Canada, Alaska, and Hawaii are welcome to enter the Karma drawings provided they are willing to pay half of the Karma prize shipping cost. The method and timing of the payment will be agreed upon between the two parties after the drawing for a particular prize.
You can choose the length of the giveaway, but keep it between 1 and 2 weeks.
Try to ship the prize promptly. You should be able to ship it within a week, but if you can't, PM the winner and let them know. Sometimes life gets in the way! This whole thing works on the honor system so if there are any problems shipping or receiving a prize, it needs to be worked out between the two parties. Don't forget…Karma!
This isn't a competition, but feel free to be generous! If you can only put up a hat, or a tail for a stunt kite, great! If you have something in your kite bag that you never fly and would be willing to ship, that's great too. Either way, the people that join to win it will appreciate it.
When you receive your prize, post a thank you to the thread where you won it.
The thread will be locked after that point so the new **KARMA** stays above it.
Good luck, and have fun!

It's the time of year when decorations to celebrate the merriment of the holiday season go up in neighborhoods across the country. The standard strands of lights can seem uninspired while also gobbling up quite a bit of energy in the process. Even though not everyone has the holiday decorating skills of Clark Griswold, there are still a variety of creative ways to spruce up the outside of your home this season without using lights.
Wrap Your Door in Wreaths
Repurpose Existing Outdoor and Garden DecorationsPieces that you can't wait to dust off and put up once spring rolls around might also be useful during the holiday season. Metal garden hooks can be adorned with ornaments. Place small evergreen shrubs in planters, window boxes or large urns. Set up a garden bench to look like a cozy spot for Santa to rest his feet between deliveries. You might be able to fully decorate the outside of your home using materials you already have on hand, saving you some money and time.
Embrace Unconventional Materials
Showcase Natural Beauty
Utilize Antique Sports Equipment
Rather than stapling 20 strings of the same old lights to the outside of your home, think outside of the box this holiday season. Be safe when hanging, mounting or putting up any adornments and enjoy the fun of creating something all your own for the holidays.

In West Alabama, a partnership between the United Way and the nation's leading provider of free prescription drug discount cards has helped 7,128 people save $895,413.
Nationwide, FamilyWize Community Service Partnership along with 1,000 other local United Ways have helped more than 5 million people get medicine they otherwise would not have been able to afford.
"Saving people money on necessary prescriptions is vital to the health and well-being of our families and our community," said Jackie Wuska, president and CEO, United Way of West Alabama.
"Too often, not taking medicine you need because you cannot afford it begins a series of consequences that could start with disease progression and end with large medical bills or even bankruptcy," she said.
Since 2005, FamilyWize, United Ways and pharmacies around the country have helped people stay healthy and productive in more than 95 percent of all U.S. counties.
The partnership has provided free prescription discount cards that help people get the medicine they need, accounting for more than $500 million in direct savings on prescriptions.
Dan Barnes, president and CEO of FamilyWize, said, "We set an ambitious goal for our partnership — to help families save $1 billion on the cost of medicines by the end of 2015. Now we're halfway there."
According to Consumer Reports, Americans who are financially strapped tend to skip medicine or lower their dosages.
A New England Journal of Medicine article reported that the cost of medicine not taken exceeds $100 billion each year on avoidable hospitalizations and $177 billion on additional health care costs.
And a Harvard University/CVS Caremark study shows that taking medicine as prescribed can save as much as $7,800 per patient annually, money that otherwise would be spent on emergency rooms, hospitalizations, tests and other procedures.
Financial complications that often arise when necessary medicine isn't taken as prescribed include absenteeism, job losses, mortgage forfeitures and bankruptcies.
"The United Way/FamilyWize partnership demonstrates how a grass-roots initiative can help individuals and communities avoid such consequences," Wuska said. "We provide these free prescription discount cards to local social service agencies, faith-based organizations, schools, community centers, local government and healthcare providers so everyone can get the medicine they need."
Many local pharmacists and physicians also assist by providing cards or making their patients aware of how to get a card, either through United Way of West Alabama, the FamilyWize.org site or even via text by sending the word "family" to 700700 to receive a Rx discount card via text.
Savings are often as high as 75 percent off the price charged without the card, which can be used for any FDA approved medicine at most pharmacies.
With average savings of about $20 per prescription, the FamilyWize card often means families can avoid a choice between getting medicine or buying food.
"People's need for such assistance will not diminish with the Affordable Care Act and health care reform," Barnes said.
He added that "the Congressional Budget Office's recent report on the "Effects of the Affordable Care Act on Health Insurance Coverage" estimate anywhere from 29-44 million will remain without insurance over the next 10 years."
For information about the free prescription cards, call 211.

Pediatric blood disorders are a group of noncancerous diseases, including bone marrow failure syndromes and hemoglobinopathies, which can affect the functioning and quality of life of infants, children, and adults. In some cases, these disorders can be life-threatening.
Bone marrow failure syndromes are rare and involve low blood counts due to problems with the bone marrow – the tissue inside bones that produces hematopoietic stem cells. Hematopoietic stem cells are the parent cells of all blood cells, giving rise to oxygen-rich red blood cells, infection-fighting white blood cells, and blood clot-forming platelets that help stop bleeding. The failure of a child's bone marrow to produce certain blood cells can be inherited through mutations (changes) in genes, or it can be acquired during a child's lifetime.
Hemoglobinopathies are blood disorders that occur much more frequently than bone marrow failure syndromes and are inherited. They are caused by defects in a protein in red blood cells known as hemoglobin, which normally carries oxygen throughout the body.
Inherited Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes
Inherited bone marrow failure syndromes are rare, with fewer than 5,000 people diagnosed worldwide. The genetic mutations associated with these syndromes can affect all the cells in the body – including the different types of blood cells produced in the bone marrow – and the diseases themselves cannot be cured. However, it is possible to treat the blood and marrow complications of these diseases.
Types of inherited bone marrow failure syndromes include:
Fanconi Anemia
Typically diagnosed in early childhood, children with Fanconi anemia – the most common type of bone marrow failure syndrome – are unable to produce white blood cells, red blood cells, or platelets. This is typically caused by mutations in one of several genes.
In addition to bone marrow failure, Fanconi anemia can cause abnormal skin pigmentation, abnormal thumbs, smaller eye size, and short stature. Children with this disorder are also at risk for developing leukemia or solid tumors of the head and neck.
Find more information from the Fanconi Anemia Research Fund, Inc.
Dyskeratosis Congenita
Dyskeratosis congenita also involves problems with white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. Several genes are known to cause Dyskeratosis congenita and can be identified to play a role in over 50 percent of children diagnosed with this disease. In a number of children with this disease, the particular genetic mutation or mutations are unknown. However, a highly sensitive screening test called telomere length analysis is available and can help in making the diagnosis.
Typically diagnosed in adolescents and young adults, this disorder is often associated with clear and dark areas of the skin, nail changes, and white patches in the mouth. Patients are also at risk for developing aplastic anemia. Today we also know that a severe form of this disease can present early in life and must be recognized and diagnosed early so that it can be effectively treated.
Find more information from the Dyskeratosis Congenita Outreach, Inc.
Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome
Almost all children with Shwachman-Diamond syndrome have mutations in a gene called SBDS. This blood disorder begins by affecting the production of infection-fighting white blood cells, but progresses to involve problems with red blood cells and platelets as well.
Shwachman-Diamond syndrome is usually diagnosed in early childhood but can be diagnosed as late as when people are in their 40s. The disorder is associated with bone abnormalities and problems with the liver and pancreas, which lead to difficulties with fat absorption in the body.
Find more information from the Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome Foundation.
Diamond-Blackfan Anemia
This bone marrow failure disorder is caused by mutations in genes related to a cell's ability to produce certain proteins. Children with Diamond-Blackfan anemia make small numbers of red blood cells, while their white blood cell and platelet production is typically normal.
This disorder is usually diagnosed during infancy, and children can have physical abnormalities including abnormal thumbs and short stature, as well as an increased risk of certain types of cancer.
Find more information from the Diamond-Blackfan Anemia Foundation.
Congenital Amegakaryocytic Thrombocytopenia
Congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia, caused by a mutation involving the MPL gene, affects a child's blood clot-forming platelets. This disorder can be diagnosed at birth or early in life, due to an infant experiencing poor clotting and easy bruising. This disorder can lead to the failure of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets and/or lead to leukemia.
Severe Chronic Neutropenia
Diagnosed in early childhood typically around three years of age, severe chronic neutropenia affects children's white blood cells, particularly cells called neutrophils. This disorder is related to a mutation in one of more than three genes that affect the production of neutrophils. This syndrome can cause children to develop serious infections during infancy or later in life, including skin infections, mouth ulcers, gum disease, and sinus infections.
Find more information from the Severe Chronic Neutropenia International Registry.
Thrombocytopenia Absent Radii
This inherited blood disorder, usually diagnosed between birth and six months of age, affects a child's platelets. Children with thrombocytopenia absent radii are missing one of the two bones (known as the radius) from each lower arm, and bruise easily due to the lack of platelets. Mutations in a gene called RBM8A are known to cause this disease.
Acquired Bone Marrow Failure
Acquired bone marrow failure may be of unknown causes (idiopathic) or develop from a variety of situations including exposure to certain chemicals, environmental toxins, viruses, or autoimmune diseases.
Acquired Aplastic Anemia
Acquired aplastic anemia is typically diagnosed in adults, but in rare cases can affect children. It is not inherited through known genes, but can result from exposure to radiation, chemicals, drugs, or viruses. In most children, however, the exact cause is not known.
This disorder involves the bone marrow's inability to make enough new blood cells of all types – white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. These low blood counts can result in a variety of symptoms, which can include fatigue, weakness, dizziness, infections, and excessive bleeding.
The medical condition of children with aplastic anemia can vary dramatically. One day, a child may feel fine, and the next, he or she may experience bruising, bleeding, or fever.
Paraoxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria
One specific type of acquired aplastic anemia is paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). This results from a gene mutation that is acquired during a person's lifetime and affects bone marrow or blood stem cells. Children and young adults with PNH may have acquired aplastic anemia, but can also have other complications specific to PNH, including an increased breakdown of red blood cells. When these cells break down, they leak hemoglobin into the blood, which can pass into the urine, giving it a red color.
Find more information from the Aplastic Anemia & MDS International Foundation.
Hemoglobinopathies represent the most common genetic disorders involving the blood. The most common types of hemoglobinopathies – beta-thalassemia and sickle cell disease – affect several million people around the world. These disorders involve genetic defects that have an impact on the production of hemoglobin, a vital protein that delivers oxygen throughout the body.
Types of hemoglobinopathies disorders include:
Beta-thalassemia typically affects people of Mediterranean, Asian, or African descent, and is usually diagnosed within the first year of a child's life. Children with this disorder are unable to make a protein called globin, a component of hemoglobin. Because of this, these children lack oxygen and red blood cells, which can cause pale skin, fatigue, and weakness and enlargement of organs such as the heart, spleen, and liver.
Find more information from the Cooley's Anemia Foundation.
Sickle Cell Disease
In sickle cell disease, red blood cells make an abnormal form of beta-globin. This can cause red blood cells to become sickle-shaped, in the form of a crescent. This abnormal shape causes the red blood cells to have problems traveling through blood vessels, so certain tissues in a child's body do not receive enough blood.
These blood flow problems can happen in the lungs, arms, chest, abdomen, spleen, kidneys, and liver, which can cause pain, stroke, or bacterial infections.
Find more information from the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America.

Which is most desirable in life? Ability to make changes of course. Each of us has a part to play and in order to face the challenges ahead education is a medium.
Think of your life as a point hurtling through time and place along with so many billions of points each making for a goal. Each one carries certain measure of knowledge which we share unequally as we progress in life. So quality of what we know and seek becomes vital for our progression.
Time and Place
No one can make changes with all facts on hand; nor can actions matter if time for them is past. If you have rested on what you learned yesterday, you shall have lot of catching to do.
If you mess up the time element changes you make shall never be your servant but master. It shall sweep you away and to your cost.
Each of us can be effective and master our own life in knowing the time and having essential facts to make changes as we go ahead. In a small town growing up means learning from traditions, from your peers and from internet quality of which shall be different from a big city being thrown among people, and variety of them, so much so there is a vibrancy and here and now quality to information you gather. Is being street smart what life is all about? No it is not. Learning from people and books cannot help much if your mind is not tidied up and is undisciplined to compare impressions you are daily bombarded with.
What good is educating ourselves beyond what we can get maximum benefit? Education from life as we go along is as important as equipping mind.
Education can only begin when mind can see limit of the printed word and in setting life no boundaries where your mind is strong enough to face challenges it brings up.
Everything you have been told as true is not tested true. Time and place shall show you quite something else and it is from an objective mind you need to make your conclusions.
Importance of life is therefore to test the events that you face and make the changes so you are benefited as well as made difference for others around you.

Same-type attack bonus
The same-type attack bonus (Japanese: タイプ一致ボーナス coincident type bonus), abbreviated STAB, boosts the damage dealt when a move is used by a Pokémon of the same type.
In the core series
The same-type attack bonus is a 50% damage boost of an attack when it is the same type as one of the types of the Pokémon using the attack. This results in a 50% increase in damage (100% if the Pokémon has the Adaptability Ability). Same-type attack bonus does not apply to moves that do not use the normal damage formula, such as Seismic Toss. Contrary to what some early strategy guides stated, Normal-type attacks can receive the same-type attack bonus. The same-type attack bonus was introduced in Generation I and has remained unchanged since.
Example of attack bonus
A Blastoise using Surf increases the power of the move by 50%, from 90 to 135, since both Blastoise and Surf are Water-type. However, a Blastoise using Ice Beam does not receive an increase in special attack power of the move, since Blastoise is not an Ice-type Pokémon.
A Lapras, on the other hand, would receive the same-type attack bonus when using either Surf or Ice Beam, since Lapras is both Water-type and Ice-type.
If Protean is activated before a move's execution, the user will always receive a same-type attack bonus on every move used, regardless of the move's type.
Variable type moves
A Pokémon only receives the same-type attack bonus on the current type of the move, not its listed type. For example, if the user's type matches their Hidden Power type, they do receive same-type attack bonus; however, since a Normal-type Hidden Power is not possible, a pure Normal-type Pokémon cannot receive the same-type attack bonus for Hidden Power. The same is also true for Fairy-type.
In the spin-off games
Pokémon GO
In Pokémon GO, STAB boosts damage by 20% (25% prior to June 21, 2017).

The Detroit Red Wings will try to get back on track Friday night with a sixth straight victory over the Edmonton Oilers as the two clubs clash at Joe Louis Arena.
The Red Wings have lost two straight and four of their last five games, putting them two points back of the second wild card spot in the Eastern Conference.
Detroit, though, picked up a 5-0 road win over Edmonton back on Nov. 2 to extend its series winning streak to five straight games. The Red Wings are 12-0-2 in their past 14 versus the Oilers overall, having not suffered a loss in regulation to the club since Dec. 3, 2009.
That was also the last time that the Red Wings lost at home to the Oilers, winning seven straight since.
Detroit was bested 4-1 by the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday, getting a goal from Danny DeKeyser.
Jimmy Howard was a scratch due to the flu, with Petr Mrazek making 33 saves in his first start since Jan. 12.
"It's a disappointing loss, but we've got to regroup and get back at it," Red Wings head coach Mike Babcock said. "There's no time to feel sorry for ourselves."
The Red Wings are dealing with a long list of injured players, one that includes Henrik Zetterberg, Pavel Datsyuk, Daniel Cleary and Darren Helm. Tomas Jurco recently joined that list due to a fractured rib suffered on Tuesday.
Detroit has already lost 294 man games this season and prospect Teemu Pulkkinen could make his NHL debut tonight in place of Jurco. The 22-year-old has 26 points and 51 points in 60 games in the American Hockey League this season.
He will be the ninth player to make his NHL debut for the Red Wings in the past 14 months.
The good news is that Howard has recovered to start tonight and is 9-1-2 with a 1.96 goals against average in his career versus the Oilers.
Edmonton has split the first two of a four-game road trip that ends on Sunday versus the Carolina Hurricanes. The Oilers dropped a 6-2 decision to the St. Louis Blues on Thursday despite the game being tied going into the third period.
David Perron and Mark Fraser lit the lamp for the Oilers, who had won three of four going in. Ben Scrivens took the loss, allowing all six goals on 37 shots.
"I don't care how good they are," said Oilers coach Dallas Eakins. "We were able to play with them for two periods. We should be able to do it for 20 more minutes. We've got to be stronger on pucks against stronger forechecking teams like this."
Perron has two goals and two assists over a four-game point streak, while Fraser scored his first goal in 111 games. His last tally came on March 2, 2010.
Taylor Hall, meanwhile, had an assist to give him six points in his previous five games.
The Oilers could go back to Viktor Fasth in net tonight. He made his Oilers debut on Tuesday in a shootout win over the Minnesota Wild. He is 1-1-0 with a 3.61 GAA in two previous games versus the Red Wings.

text: WATERLOO, ON, April 11, 2012 - The Pythagoreans 2500 years ago believed in a celestial "music of the spheres", an idea that reverberated down the millennia in Western music, literature, art and science. Now, through asteroseismology - the study of the internal structure of pulsating stars - we know that there is a real music of the spheres. The stars have sounds in them that we use to see right to their very cores. On Wednesday, May 2, as part of Perimeter Institute's Public Lecture Series presented by Sun Life Financial, Dr. Donald Kurtz, Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Central Lancashire, will deliver a multi-media lecture exploring the relationship of music to stellar sounds. You will hear the real sounds of the stars and you will hear musical compositions where every member of the orchestra is a real (astronomical) star! You will also learn about some of the latest discoveries from the Kepler Space Mission that lets us "hear" the stars 100 times better than with telescopes on the ground. Donald Kurtz obtained his PhD in astronomy from the University of Texas in 1976, then spent 25 years in South Africa at the University of Cape Town. He is now Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Central Lancashire in the UK. With over 2,000 nights at the telescope, Donald observes with some of the largest telescopes in the world and is the discoverer of a class of pulsating, magnetic stars that are the most peculiar stars known. He is a member of the steering committee of the Kepler Asteroseismic Science Consortium, and is co-author of the fundamental textbook, "Asteroseismology". Donald Kurtz's lecture, entitled "Songs of the Stars: the Real Music of the Spheres", will be held Wednesday, May 2 at 7:00 PM ET in Waterloo, Ontario. Tickets will be available starting Monday, April 16, 2012. Further details can be found at www.perimeterinstitute.ca.

It's not just big bargains that inspire Black Friday shoppers to rise before dawn to begin their holiday shopping. Some find that participating in the annual retail rite actually gets them in the holiday mood. New research has found that 74 percent of consumers say they find the Black Friday shopping experience somewhat to very satisfying, while just 15 percent find the prospect of shopping on Black Friday frightening.
Additionally, half of shoppers surveyed say that Black Friday and other holiday advertisements prepare them for the season and get them excited to shop for the holidays. To that end, nearly one-third of shoppers say they will be waiting for doors to open at retailers this Black Friday. An additional 56 percent expect to visit stores at some point on Black Friday, while 16 percent of shoppers say they will not shop at all on the day after Thanksgiving.
Consumers who do shop on Black Friday will be looking for deals above all else. Fifty-two percent of shoppers say that discount prices will be the most influential factors when they decide where to shop on Black Friday. Just 5 percent say that a store's decorations will make a shopper buy more.
Some shoppers, however, will skip the stores all together this holiday season. Twenty-eight percent of consumers say they will shop online during the holidays, while 10 percent expect to use smartphones or tablets to make purchases. One quarter of shoppers also say they will use their smartphones or tablets to research products before visiting a store.
Overall, nine in 10 shoppers find shopping online during Cyber Monday, the Monday of online deals following Black Friday, somewhat to very satisfying.
"American marketers have done a masterful job at crafting the traditional kick-off of holiday shopping into an event most shoppers revere," said Danielle Wanderer, chief marketing officer at research firm Qualtrics, which conducted the research. "There's no other single day of the year when [more] American shoppers drop their mouse and head to their favorite brick-and-mortar retailer."
The research was based on the responses of more than 1,000 consumers.

The Age of Intolerance
Interesting and insightful piece from Mark Steyn:
But no matter how nice you are, it's never enough. Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson, in his career-detonating interview with GQ, gave a rather thoughtful vernacular exegesis of the Bible's line on sin, while carefully insisting that he and other Christians are obligated to love all sinners and leave it to the Almighty to adjudicate the competing charms of drunkards, fornicators, and homosexuals. Nevertheless, GLAAD — "the gatekeepers of politically correct gayness" as the (gay) novelist Bret Easton Ellis sneered — saw their opportunity and seized it. By taking out TV's leading cable star, they would teach an important lesson pour encourager les autres — that espousing conventional Christian morality, even off-air, is incompatible with American celebrity.
Dr. Who meets A-ha
What happens when 80s pop meets Richard Swarbrick's 50th anniversary Dr. Who animation? This:
Must Christians believe in the virgin birth?
Albert Mohler:
With December 25 fast approaching, the secular media are sure to turn their interest once again to the virgin birth. Every Christmas, weekly news magazines and various editorialists engage in a collective gasp that so many Americans could believe such an unscientific, supernatural doctrine. For some, the belief that Jesus Christ was born of a virgin is nothing less than evidence of intellectual dimness. One writer for the New York Times put the lament plainly: "The faith in the Virgin Birth reflects the way American Christianity is becoming less intellectual and more mystical over time."
Aren't There Enough Christian Books Already?
Barnabas Piper:
And that's really the issue with Christian books: not enough of them are actually interesting. Are there enough Christian books? Yes, if you mean books that write promises God won't keep. Yes, if you mean books that ride trends instead of meeting needs. Yes, if you mean books that ride in the same wheel ruts as so many before instead of treading new ground. Yes, if you mean formulaic, redundant, platform-driven, artless compilations of blog posts or sermons. Indeed, there are too many of these kinds of books.
Kindle deals for Christian readers
These deals from Crossway end today (look for new ones soon):
- Walking with God Day by Day by Martyn Lloyd-Jones—$3.99
- Daily Light on the Daily Path compiled by Jonathan Bagster—$3.99
- More Precious Than Gold: 50 Daily Meditations on the Psalms by Sam Storms—$3.99
- ESV Daily Reading Bible—$3.99
Also, for those who love big giant theology books, you'd be crazy to pass on Michael Bird's Evangelical Theology: A Biblical and Systematic Introduction ($7.99), The Christian Faith by Michael Horton ($8.99) and Historical Theology by Gregg R. Allison ($7.99).
Make sure what you share is actually true
Aaron Earls:
It can happen to any of us. It does happen to almost all of us.
We see a story online that shocks us, however, this one seems true enough.
Normally, we check things out before we share them, but this is so unbelievable we need to get the news out as soon as possible.
We post it on Facebook or retweet it. Before we know it, others have shared the story.
Only then do we find out the truth – it was fake.

As you rev up for your July 4th, Memorial Day, Labor Day, or other holiday cookout, or just regular ol' dinner, here are some greener, cleaner grilling tips. First, a comparison of different types of grills.
Natural gas is the cleanest-burning fossil fuel, but propane also releases fewer emissions than burning charcoal or wood. On the other hand, it bears remembering that fossil fuels, unlike wood, are nonrenewable resources.
Convection grills go it one better by using half the fuel of a regular gas model. Pricey, but the fossil fuel savings add up in the long run. Check out the sleek hooded stainless models by Firestone.
Among conventional gas grills, we like the reasonably priced Vermont Castings stainless steel (the most recycled metal) console with tough cast-iron grill and super energy-saving LED night light. Their VCS 350 7P got best overall test scores in Consumer Reports' 2008 medium-size gas grill ratings, along with Weber's Genesis E 320; CR's best-buy honors went to the Blue Ember FG 50069 U809, sold at Home Depots.
Electric grills are least polluting of all on the cooking end, emitting 99 percent less carbon monoxide and 91 percent less CO2 than charcoal burning, and 21 percent less CO2 than propane. On the energy-consuming end, of course, electric grills use power from your electric utility that most likely comes from burning coal. Check out these inexpensive models recommended by a Minnesota co-op.
Charcoal or wood: Loyal (or strapped) to that old hibachi? While we love char-flavor (but in moderation, to reduce the toxic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in burned meat), conventional briquettes contain some toxic chemicals. We recommend healthier alternatives: new Nature's Grilling charcoal, made from tree trimmings (no trees are cut down for it) uses a bit of food-based rather than petrochemical binder. Greener Cowboy Charcoal is a low-smoke, lump hardwood variety made from untreated, recycled maple and oak factory remnants. Ask for recycled hardwood lump charcoal at your local Whole Foods supermarket, too. For more green charcoal ideas, click here.
Hybrid grills combine gas and wood or charcoal, so you can have that taste and cleaner air, too.
To ignite your fire, trade air-polluting lighter fluid for a chimney starter. We've actually learned to do this, so obviously you can too. You lightly pack the lightweight metal cylinder with crumpled newspaper, and lay your hardwood charcoal lumps on top. Light with a match held to the slots at the bottom. Keep away from eyes, hair, clothing.
Why bother with greener grilling? Well, it's a lot better for your health and the planet. The 60 million barbecues fired up each Independence Day use about the same amount of energy (in the form of charcoal, lighter fluid, gas, and electricity) as 20,000 households consume in a year, while releasing about 225,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide. Plus, in hot weather, the nitrous oxides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by lighter fluid and conventional briquettes create ground-level ozone (i.e. smog). Add that to the fine particulate matter (soot) produced by burning organic matter, and the smoke from fireworks, and in the wrong wind even non-asthmatics may get choked up. For more information, see Sierra Magazine and The Green Guide.
Safety note: Before buying any grill, make sure it's not on the CPSC's recall list; Consumer Reports tested one scary gas model that actually melted down.

No charges for DeLand police officer who ran over, killed Marlon Brown
Grand jury finds no criminal charges committed by officer
DeLAND, Fla. – The state attorney's office announced the grand jury won't indict the former DeLand police officer, who ran over and killed a man, on criminal charges.
Marlon Brown's family waited beside the podium as the state attorney made the jury's decision on Tuesday that no criminal charges will be filed against former DeLand police Officer James Harris.
"Justice is what has to happen here, and the grand jury has spoken, and their decision is final," said State Attorney R.J. Larizza.
Marlon Brown's ex-wife, Krystal, says she will continue to fight for charges against Harris, and she wants to see the dash cam video from Harris' patrol car.
Larizza said he could not release the video to the public, because it shows the death of a human being.
Krystle Brown feels the video may be the reason why DeLand Police Chief William Ridgway fired Harris on May 31- before Florida Highway Patrol troopers finished their investigation.
Ridgway says he fired Harris because he violated department policy.
"This is a tragedy regardless of criminal charges, we are going to evaluate our policies, tactics, to see if we can make any adjustments," he said.
The state attorney's office had been reviewing the Florida Highway Patrol's investigation into Brown's death since July 2013, but ultimately decided to have a grand jury to review the evidence.
Brown was killed in May after Harris ran him over with his patrol car. Brown was running from police for an apparent seat belt violation when he was killed.
Brown's family accepted a $550,000 settlement with the city but they still wanted Harris to face charges.
Harris was fired from DeLand Police Department in July.

Caching Headers Plugin
15% of Grails users
compile "org.grails.plugins:cache-headers:1.1.7"
Improve your application performance with browser caching, with easy ways to set caching headers in controller responses
Install the plugin by adding a dependency in the plugins section of BuildConfig.groovy:
plugins { runtime ':cache-headers:<plugin_version>' }
This plugin helps you improve your application performance with browser caching, with easy ways to set caching headers in controller responses, and elegant ways to deal with ETag and Last-Modified generation and checking.You can use this plugin to prevent caching of pages (e.g. forms), specify long-term caching on infrequently changing content, and pass information to caching servers between the client and your app, and also to avoid regeneration of content if it has not changed since the client last downloaded it (even though the client may have an indication it has expired).The methods provide a semantic approach to caching based on what you want to actually achieve, and does the "right thing" with caching headers to achieve it. This is awkward to achieve just by setting headers yourself, in terms of compatibility with older or totally lame browsers (no names needed...) behaving differently and requiring different headers to operate as expected. Doing it directly with headers leads to all kinds of fun with Expires/max age/cache control/last modified headers.
All these methods are available in controller actions. If you need to call them from another context, see the source of the CacheHeadersService where these methods reside
Commercial SupportCommercial support is available for this and other Grailsrocks plugins.
MethodsThere are several controller dynamic methods added by the plugin, which you use to indicate how the current response should be cached.
cache(boolean canCache)Using this method you can instantly prevent the current response being cached ever:
This will set any response headers required to completely prevent caching. This is good for things like pages where the data used to generate them is no longer available (for example see http://grails.org/plugin/one-time-data) or for stuff that must always use the latest live data.Perhaps irritatingly to some, setting "cache true" is not permitted and will throw an exception. Just don't call it. You can't force caching, so "cache true" makes no sense. Strangely, "cache false" does make perfect sense. Language is a strange thing!
class MyController { def oneTimeInfo() { cache false render "This is never cached" } }
cache(Map arguments)This form of the method gives access to precise control over the caching of the response, such as how long it is to be considered valid for, whether or not it can be cached by intermediary caching servers and reused for other users (i.e. has no private info in it) etc.The arguments supported are:
- store - set this to false to prevent caching servers between the client and your app from keeping a copy of the content. By default storing is permitted.
- shared - set this to true to permit caching servers to serve this same content to other users. By default this is false.
- validFor - set this specify how long the current response is valid for, in seconds. Sets all the headers required to achieve this cross-browser. Not compatible with validUntil. Use one or the other.
- validUntil - set this to a Date instance if you have a specific end-date in mind for your content. Not compatible with validFor. Use one or the other.
- neverExpires - set to true to force the client to never request a new copy of this content, unless the user forces it with a refresh in their client or the client cache is flushed. Not compatible with validFor or validUntil.
class ContentController { def show() { cache shared:true, validFor: 3600 // 1hr on content render(....) } def todaysNewItems() { cache shared: true, validUntil: new Date()+1 render(....) } def searchResults() { cache validFor: 60 // don't re-run same search for 60s! render(....) } def personalInfo() { cache store: false // don't let intermediate caches store this! (https:// would imply this) render(....) }
cache(String presetName)This variant of the cache method allows you to define presets for your cache settings in Config.groovy and recall them by name.This is much more convenient as you can clearly define and centralize your caching strategy, so that controllers only need to indicate what they are trying to achieve semantically:Config.groovy
cache.headers.presets = [ authed_page: false, // No caching for logged in user content: [shared:true, validFor: 3600], // 1hr on content news: [shared: true, validUntil:new Date()+1], search_results: [validFor: 60, shared: true] ]
This also makes it trivial to have per-environment caching settings so you can prevent / relax caching during development.
class ContentController { def show() { cache "content" render(....) } def todaysNewItems() { cache "news" render(....) } def searchResults() { cache "search_results" render(....) } def personalInfo() { cache "authed_page" render(....) }
lastModified(dateOrLong)This method is a shortcut for setting the Last-Modified header of your response. Its important to get this as correct as you can for the content you are serving. It is used in several caching situations in browsers and proxies.If you are not using the withCacheHeaders method (see next section) you can use this method to set the Last-Modified header explicitly:
A Date or Long can be passed to the method, and it will be encoded as per the HTTP date format.
class BookController { def show() { def book = Book.get(params.id) lastModified book.dateUpdated render(....) }
withCacheHeaders(Closure dsl)This method acts similarly to the Grails withFormat method, but lets you provide code that will let the plugin automatically handle ETag-based "If-None-Match" and Last-Modified based "If-Modified-Since" requests for you.This means that even if your content cannot be cached for long periods in the client, you can avoid the cost of re-processing and transmitting the same content if you can identify whether or not it has changed.In this case the client sends a GET request, and your app automatically replies with a "304 Not Modified" response if your code indicates that the content the client has can still be used.Here's an example:
There are three DSL methods you can implement.The optional "etag" closure is executed if the code needs to generate an ETag for the current request. Even if the request does not include an "If-None-Match" header, this closure will be called if the content is generated, to set the header for clients that have not received it before.The optional "lastModified" closure is executed to set the Last-Modified header, and to compare it with any "If-Modified-Since" header sent by clients.
class BookController { def show() { withCacheHeaders { def book = Book.get(params.id) etag { "${book.ident()}:${book.version}" } lastModified { book.dateCreated ?: book.dateUpdated } generate { render(view:"bookDisplay", model:[item:book]) } } } }
In Grails 2.x, controllers actions are class methods instead of public closures, and that leads to a name clash between 'lastModified' the method, and 'lastModified' the internal DSL of the withCacheHeaders closure. A simple workaround is to use this syntax:If either the ETag or Last-Modified values fail requirements set by the request headers, the "generate" closure will be called to render the response. When this happens, the plugin will automatically set Last-Modified and ETag using the values your closures provided.
class BookController { def show () { withCacheHeaders { def book = Book.get(params.id) delegate.lastModified { book.dateCreated ?: book.dateUpdated } generate { render(view:"bookDisplay", model:[item:book]) } } } }
ConfigurationYou use Config.groovy to control whether the caching plugin is used at all from config, so for example you can completely prevent all caching header operations during tests or development:
You can also set up preset cache settings by name:
// Prevent any client side caching for now cache.headers.enabled = false
To use presets, see the above description for the cache(String presetName) method variant.
cache.headers.presets = [ unauthed_page: [shared:true, validFor: 300], // 5 minute refresh window authed_page: false, // No caching for logged in user content: [shared:true, validFor: 3600], // 1hr on content recent_items_feed: [shared: true, validFor: 1800], // 30 minute throttle on RSS updates search_results: [validFor: 60, shared: true], taxonomy_results: [validFor: 60, shared: true] ]
