Cameras For Kids Foundation know the Gift of Giving
Holiday Season reminds us all to be thankful and to give to those less fortunate.... just as one woman has done across the United States with her camera in hand.
By: Cameras For Kids Foundation
In 2009, Chesler created a program with purpose, launching the nonprofit organization in South Florida at SOS Children's Villages with 8 teens, 8 point and shoot cameras and Chesler's instruction on how to create art with a camera, as she does as a Fine Art Photographer.
The children CFKF works with are "at risk" and reside in residential foster facilities. They are victims of circumstances having been taken away from their family and the only home and security they know. They were placed in state care due to abuse and or abandonment by the adults they love and trust.
A photograph represents many things to many people. To a foster child,
their camera becomes their voice. It allows them a productive means of self expression as well as a way to see beauty in a world that has been less than safe or fair to them.
Chesler feels there is a level of creativity in all of us, and CFKF will open these doors for the kids and allow them to see their own potentials where they may not have otherwise had such an opportunity. The program is a gift for life where they will forever "see" at a higher level; offering them the luxury to see all beauty in life regardless of their surroundings.
Through the CFKF program the teens are the beneficiaries of developing their personal artistic expression through the cameras lens. The program encompasses weekly workshops and assignments teaching basic concepts of art and photography. The purpose is to be fun, educational, challenging and engaging, and exposes their mind's eye to the fundamentals of art, while building the child's self esteem and self confidence. The skill set that is gained as a result, will allow the teens to pursue potential career paths that utilize photography and design.
Chesler feels the most rewarding moments have been when the children are proud of their accomplishments, which is seen each time the teens Fine Art Photography is exhibited and they speak about how the program has made a difference in their life and will perhaps in their future.
In it's first two years, CFKF has expanded from Florida to Los Angeles, Chicago, NYC and Atlanta. Facilities from around the US have expressed an interest in bringing the CFKF program to their children, and presently there is a wait list to begin each location. The foundation raises funds to purchase cameras and provide each enthusiastic and deserving child with this wonderful opportunity. Chesler has also been touched and overwhelmed by the response of professional photographers reaching out to volunteer their time to teach the program in their cities and countries.
Cameras For Kids Foundation is sure to become an international organization making a difference in the lives of foster children around the globe. Chesler also looks forward to having all of her children worldwide share their work with each other via webcasts in the future.

How Cheskin Destroyed Civilization as We Knew It
26 Oct 2005|Steve Diller
One advantage in writing a book about meaningful experiences was the opportunities it provided to plumb the depths of Cheskin's history. It's a pretty illustrious history, with engagements that often had impacts far beyond what Louis Cheskin, our founder, might have anticipated. It also has implications for all of us who work to enhance customer experiences.
A particularly interesting example was his work with McDonald's. The historical documentation indicates that, back when that company was seeking to expand more quickly, its management hit on the idea of altering the legal definition of their establishments, from "hamburger stands" to "restaurants."
The difference of label apparently was important, because zoning regulations in many places limited the number of "hambuger stands" allowed every square mile. McDonald's realized that, if they attached restaurant-style seating to their industrialized hamburger stands, they could transcend the zoning limitations, and expand much more effectively.
The problem was, when they built these new establishments, women with kids hesitated to come in. While they wouldn't think twice of bringing their children to hamburger stands, where the kids could misbehave without social consequences, at a "restaurant," decorum was socially expected.
Consequently, McDonald's customer base felt a little uncomfortable walking into a restaurant, kids in tow, when all they wanted was hamburger-stand informality. That clearly didn't lend itself to rapid expansion, even if you've gotten past the zoning issue.
Louis Cheskin's solution was to essentially design a whole new type of "informal" restaurant, that allowed people to avoid the decorum they knew was expected of them. He also helped in the development of Ronald McDonald, as a welcoming friend who made it more of a party than a restaurant.
In so doing, he didn't simply help invent the fast food restaurant. He also helped change people's expectations about where, and when, it's necessary to dress "correctly" and behave "appropriately."
Cheskin's work, in other words, was one of the first nails in the coffin of stuffy, traditional American decorum. In its place evolved a far more relaxed, informal public standard of appearance and behavior that eventually extended to sporting events, stores, downtowns, theaters, and other venues in which people used to wear their finest clothing and behave in a highly constrained manner. In other words, this was the beginning of the end of civilization as our grandparents knew it.
Personally, I think we're better off for this early example of designing a better experience for customers. Still, it shows the sometimes-unanticipated impact of designing for people's comfort and enjoyment. I never met Louis Cheskin. From what I hear, he was a gentleman of the old school. If only he had fully appreciated what he was helping bring about… he probably would've secretly loved it.prev next

It is an advantage for students if they are confident when it comes to reaching their dreams. In fact, confidence can serve as their imaginary ladder towards a better and fruitful academic lifestyle. That being said, here are three, quick tips that can help boost a student's confidence.
Picture your success when things get rough.
Let's face it: the road to success is not an easy one. Before you achieve your goals, you might face several challenges including mental block and self-doubt. But during these hard times, you need to remind yourself to keep going until you reach the finish line. Inhale, pause, and look back at why you took this course in the first place. Give yourself a little pep talk and use that motivation to move forward.
Trust that you will improve.
Believe you can (and will) improve. Train yourself to never stop improving until you achieve your goal. If you develop a mindset that you can do this or that, you will gain more courage to fight and go after what you want.
Practice failure.
Failure is inevitable and we have to deal with it. But here's the thing: it's up to you if you're going to let it define or shape you. Studies show that those who fail regularly and keep trying anyway are better equipped to respond to challenges and setbacks in a constructive way. So, think of a challenge you want to take on and go for it. Do not give up so easily. Stay in the game.

Disability hate crime
Theory and models
Societal implications
Disability hate crime is a form of hate crime arising from the hostility of the perpetrator towards the disability, or perceived disability, of the victim, or because of their perceived connection to disability. It is often viewed politically as a logical extreme of ableism (sometimes known in the UK by the disputed word "disablism"), carried through into criminal acts against the person. This phenomenon can take many forms, from verbal abuse and intimidatory behaviour to vandalism, assault, or even murder. Disability hate crimes may be one-off incidents, or systematic abuse that may continue over periods of weeks, months or even years.
Disability hate crime may occur between strangers who have never met, between acquaintances or within the family. The two key requirements for an act to be called a "disability hate crime" are that it is motivated in part or whole by prejudice against someone because of disability; and second, that the act is actually a crime.[1]
Disability hate crime is currently one of the least recognised forms of hate crime. Sir Ken Macdonald, QC, the then Director of Public Prosecutions for England and Wales stated in a speech to the Bar Council in October 2008 that "I am on record as saying that it is my sense that disability hate crime is very widespread. I have said that it is my view that at the lower end of the spectrum there is a vast amount not being picked up. I have also expressed the view that the more serious disability hate crimes are not always being prosecuted as they should be. This is a scar on the conscience of criminal justice. And all bodies and all institutions involved in the delivery of justice, including my own, share the responsibility." [2]
Legal status
In the United States, the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009 expanded the 1969 United States federal hate-crime law to include crimes motivated by a victim's actual or perceived disability.[3]
In the UK, disability hate crime is regarded as an aggravating factor under Section 146 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003, allowing a heavier tariff to be used in sentencing than the crime might draw without the hate elements. Section 146 states that the sentencing provisions apply if:
- (a) that, at the time of committing the offence, or immediately before or after doing so, the offender demonstrated towards the victim of the offence hostility based on—
- (i) the sexual orientation (or presumed sexual orientation) of the victim, or
- (ii) a disability (or presumed disability) of the victim, or
- (b) that the offence is motivated (wholly or partly)—
- (i) by hostility towards persons who are of a particular sexual orientation, or
- (ii) by hostility towards persons who have a disability or a particular disability.[4]
The test in Section 146 is deliberately one for evidence of 'hostility' rather than 'hatred' as the seriousness of the offence was considered to justify the application of a less-strict test.
Crime recording
The historical failure of police forces, prosecutors and some social care organizations to treat Disability Hate Crime as a serious issue, an echo of previous failures over other forms of hate crime, particularly racial and LGBT-focused hate crimes, has led to chronic under-reporting. This under-reporting is both pre-emptive, through a widespread belief within the disabled community that they will not be treated seriously by law enforcement, and post-facto, where police forces investigate the crime as non hate-based and record it as such.
The UK Crown Prosecution Service's Annual Hate Crime Report,[5] shows that 11,624 cases of racial or religious hate crime were prosecuted in England and Wales in 2009 with 10,690 leading to successful convictions. By contrast only 363 prosecutions and 299 convictions were for Disability Hate Crimes.
The UK charity Scope has conducted research into the prevalence and experience of Disability hate crime, summarizing their findings and those of other disability groups in the report Getting Away With Murder [6] Katharine Quarmby, who wrote the report and was the first British journalist to investigate disability hate crime, has also written a book on the matter.[7]
Perceived vulnerability
The treatment of disability hate crimes has been affected by the perception of disabled people as inherently vulnerable.[8] This is a multi-faceted issue. Unfounded application of the 'vulnerable' label to a disabled person is considered a form of infantilization, a type of ableism in which disabled people are regarded as childlike, rather than as functioning adults. The use of this label also frequently represents a failure to distinguish between the victim of the crime and the situation they found themselves facing.
Perceptions of vulnerability can also lead to the perception that the victim is partially or entirely responsible for the crime. For example, a disabled person may be perceived as having been at fault due to being alone after dark, i.e. engaged in risky behaviour. This pattern of victim blaming has also appeared in the prosecution of rape and other sexual crimes.
On the other hand, it has been suggested that the vulnerability of victims is a key factor in all crimes. It has been applied to wide variety of scenarios, including people working at night or handling large amounts of money.[9] This implies that the issue of vulnerability is more complex than some advocates have argued. If it is a factor in all crimes, it then becomes necessary to adopt a contextual perspective without regarding disability as intrinsically vulnerable.
The Crown Prosecution Service has issued guidance to its prosecutors reminding them that 'vulnerable' should only be used as a description of a person within the precise legal meaning of the term - for instance, as defined in section 16 of the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999.[10]

With the BMW Motorrad International GS Trophy coming to Chile and Argentina for the first time, there is plenty of excitement in Latin America. Many of these countries have already completed pre-qualifying tournaments, from which the most successful riders were recently sent to Panama to compete in the GS Trophy Regional competition for the Latin America.
After six local events in different countries of the region, the top 20 riders from Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panama, Peru and the Dominican Republic faced a series of new challenges when they contested the Regional Qualifier at the action sports resort in Punta Chame, Panama, to compete for a place in the International Grand Final.
The spirit of motorcycling was very much alive and kicking at Punta Chame, as BMW Motorrad fans rolled up from many of these countries to support their countrymen. The prize on offer was the chance to win one of three coveted places on the Latin American team that will contest the third International GS Trophy from November 24 to December 2, 2012. Many of these fans arrived on motorcycles, including a large group from Costa Rica, to cheer on all participants at this important regional qualifier.
During two days of competition in the spectacular scenic surroundings of Punta Chame the riders had to overcome several special tests to show their team spirit, organizational and leadership skills. Last Saturday, participants were tested on their ability to work together with group tasks such as digging a bike out of deep mud. Other tasks required technical capacity, coordination and team organization. Add to this a navigation trial of more than 19 miles (30 km) on roads, in a forest and on the beach and it was undoubtedly a tough first day's competition. Tired, but enthused by the day's activities, everyone ended the first day of competition by relaxing in front of a big campfire in the spectacular atmosphere of the Nitro City Sports Resort.
On Sunday, it was up to individual riders to show their experience and skills in a variety of complex situations such as off-road riding through a water crossing, traversing a sand passage and negotiating a steep hill descent without using the brakes. One of the most difficult tasks the competitors encountered was when they had to pass over a big rock, which required riding skills of the highest standard. In fact, only some of the participants were able to overcome this tricky obstacle.
In the end, the regional qualifying competition drew to a close and the three winners were announced late on the Sunday afternoon. Having the honor of representing Latin America in the forthcoming International GS Trophy finals will be Carlos Pelaez of Colombia, Alejandro Barrios of Costa Rica and Peru's Renato Ilbert Dongo.
Although there could only be three winners chosen to go forward to the finals, all participants and spectators that made the journey to Panama to enjoy the regional qualifier had a great time and shared in the unique atmosphere of community and camaraderie present whenever GS riders get together. The pleasure of competing in a variety of team exercises, adventures and challenges over the course of the weekend was without a doubt an unforgettable experience for not only the contestants, but also for those spectators who came to support their friends and family.

Re: BBS Planet Earth series
OMGs!!!!!!!! I LOVED it!!! To the point that everyone on my Christmas/Solstice/Yule/Winter Gift Giving Day list is getting a copy!! Even more I was really excited to hear Disney was doing something similar for IMAX, but then I was really mad when I found out that 'similar' meant copy/paste/edit of the BBS's version. Buuuuut, I was still really impressed, cause, come on, it's IMAX. Planet Earth was awesome at home, and it was awesome to the power of 10 at the IMAX theater. Breathe taking, truly. Ok, I'm done gushing like an idiot. BB ya'll.
Maybe now you're starting to understand that while I may have been born predispositioned to be pretty batty, my parents saw to it that it was a certainty and completely unavoidable. -Me

And sin no longer exists: "to choose what is objectively evil and contrary to God's will is an abuse."....no longer a sin I guess because that must be too harsh of a word....only abuse...
Excerpt from Letter #63:The day will come, we are sure and certain, when Rome will come back to Rome's own Tradition and restore it to its rightful place, and we long with all our hearts for that blessed day. For the time being, however, things are not yet at that point, and to foster illusions would be deadly for the SSPX, as we can see, when we follow the turn of events in Campos. For this purpose, let us emphasize two points in the evolution of the Campos situation: firstly, how their attitude to Rome has changed since the agreement and secondly, how Campos is moving further and further away from ourselves, with all the upset that that implies.Changes in CamposCampos, through its leader, Bishop Rifan, is crying out for all to hear that nothing has changed, that the priests of the Apostolic Administration are just as Traditional as before, which is the essence of what they have been granted, and why they accepted Rome's offer: because Rome approved of the Traditional position.For our part, let us begin by noting that we are well aware that in any disagreement one tends to discredit one's adversary. For instance in the case of our former friends in Campos, there are certainly false rumors circulating to the effect that "Bishop Rifan has concelebrated the New Mass", or, "Campos has completely given up Tradition". However, that being said, here is what we observe:2. The ambiguity implicit here has become more or less normal in the new situation in which they find themselves: they emphasize those points in the present pontificate which seem favourable to Tradition, and tip-toe past the rest. Say what we will: there took place in Campos on January 18, 2002, not only a one-sided recognition of Campos by Rome, as some claim, but also, in exchange, an undertaking by Campos to keep quiet. And how could it be otherwise? It is clear by now that Campos has something to lose which they are afraid or losing, and so in order not to lose it they have chosen the path of compromise: "We Brazilians are men of peace, you Frenchmen are always fighting". Which means that, in order to keep the peace with Rome, one must stop fighting. They no longer see the situation of the Church as a whole, they content themselves with Rome's gesture in favour of a little group of two dozen priests and say that there is no longer any emergency in the Church because the granting of a Traditional bishop has created a new juridical situation…They are forgetting the wood for a single tree.4. Within this way of thinking even the Novus Ordo Mass can be accommodated. Campos forgets the 62 reasons for having nothing to do with it, Campos now finds that if it is properly celebrated, it is valid (which we have never denied, but that is not the point). Campos no longer says that Catholics must stay away because the New Mass is bad, and dangerous. Bishop Rifan says, by way of justifying his position on the Mass: "So we reject all use of the Traditional Mass as a battle-flag to insult and fight the lawfully constituted hierarchical authority of the Church. We stay with the Traditional Mass, not out of any spirit of contradiction, but as a clear and lawful expression of our Catholic Faith!". We are reminded of the words of a Cardinal a little while back: "Whereas the SSPX is FOR the old Mass, the Fraternity of Saint Peter Is AGAINST the New Mass. It's not the same thing". That was Rome's argument to justify taking action against Fr. Bisig of the Fraternity of Saint Peter at about the same time that Rome was cozying up to the SSPX. The Cardinal's curious distinction is now being put into practice by Campos, as they pretend to be for the old Mass but not against the new. Likewise for Tradition, but not against today's Rome. "We maintain that Vatican II cannot contradict Catholic Tradition", said Bishop Rifan quite recently to a French magazine, Famille Chrétienne. Yet a well-known Cardinal said that Vatican II was the French Revolution inside the Church. Bishop de Castro Mayer said the same thing….So little by little the will to fight grows weaker and finally one gets used to the situation. In Campos itself, everything positively traditional is being maintained, for sure, so the people see nothing different, except that the more perceptive amongst them notice the priests' tendency to speak respectfully and more often of recent statements and events coming out of Rome, while yesterday's warnings and today's deviations are left out. The great danger here is that in the end one gets used to the situation as it is, and no longer tries to remedy it. For our part we have no intention of launching out until we are certain that Rome means to maintain Tradition. We need signs that they have converted.Leaving the SSPX behindBesides this wholly foreseeable evolution of minds by which the Campos priests have, whatever they say, given up the fight, we must note another occurrence, the increasing hostility between us. Bishop Rifan still says that he wants to be our friend, but some Campos priests are already accusing us of being schismatic because we refuse their agreement with Rome.A little like one sees a boat pushing into mid-river, drifting down-stream and leaving the bank behind, so we see, little by little, several indications of the distance growing between ourselves and Campos. We had warned them of the great danger, they chose not to listen. Since they have no wish to row up-stream, then even while inside the boat things carry on as before, which gives them the impression that nothing has changed, nevertheless they are leaving us behind, as they show themselves more and more attached to the magisterium of today, as opposed to the position they held until recently and which we still hold, namely a sane criticism of the present in the light of the past.To sum up, we are bound to say that the Campos priests, despite their claims to the contrary, are slowly being re-molded, following the lead of their new bishop, in the spirit of the Council. That is all Rome wants – for the moment.To guarantee our future, we must obtain from today's Rome clear proof of its attachment to the Rome of yesterday. When the Roman authorities have restated with actions speaking louder than words that "There must be no innovations outside of Tradition", then "we" shall no longer be a problem. And we beg God to hasten that day when the whole Church will flourish again, having re-discovered the secret of her past strength, freed from the modern unthought of which Paul VI said that "It is anti-Catholic in nature, Maybe it will prevail. It will never be the Church. There will have to be a faithful remnant, however tiny".
A friend writes:"Evidently Catholicism is now, "the religion most in harmony with objective truth and God's plan for the universe."http://www.sspx.org/en/about/major-concerns/religious-liberty(Sean's comment: Subsistit, Dominus Iesus, and Lumen Gentium prevail; the implication being other false religions are less perfectly in harmony, rather than opposed to Gods plan?)Not to mention we now respect the dignity of the human person (as is all over the USCCB website)And sin no longer exists:"to choose what is objectively evil and contrary to God's will is an abuse."....no longer a sin I guess because that must be too harsh of a word....only abuse...http://www.sspx.org/en/about/major-concerns/religious-liberty"
The middle picture brings back memories. 1- of a Jefferson Airplane concert I attended against my parents' direct order to keep away. Just about everyone was stoned on pot and acid. I arrived sober but left high as a kite. 2- of a Pentecostal session of "singing in the spirit." There were no drugs involved, just mass hysteria directed by a very charismatic heretic who was later exposed as a thief, fraud, and womanizer. To whom is the SSPX trying to appeal? Aging baby-boomers? Why not? That's who anyone with something for sale appeals to nowadays. (Seen any network TV commercials lately?) That is who has the $$$$$$$. What do these pop-art pictures have to do with Jesus Christ? The Blessed Virgin Mary? Would she have hung any of these in the Holy House? God help us, because the SSPX is no longer doing so!
The new SSPX US District website has to be seen to be believed. Those of you who have listened to Fr. Girouard's Sunday sermon from last week (see the post below this one) will know what is going on here. Those of you who have not yet heard this important sermon need to do so as soon as possible. Fr. Girouard reports, quoting from the horses mouth, on the decision of the SSPX to hire a professional "PR company" to re-brand the Society (for which the SSPX paid good money!), helping it to leave behind it's "negative image" and be more "positive" about the Church.In keeping with this, and as if further evidence were needed, take a look at the new-look SSPX.org. Let us take one example (there are more). Have a look at what they present as being the "mission statement" of the SSPX. It is to be found under the tab labelled "about". On that page we read:"The spirit of the SSPX is essentially apostolic; it was designed by its founder to operate much like a missionary order, spreading the faith far and wide. This apostolate is today especially necessary considering the spread of atheism, agnosticism, and religious indifference.The SSPX, to this end, seeks to draw souls closer to Christ primarily through the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, as well as through its preaching, its schools, its seminaries, and its other houses of religious formation.All this can be summed up in our founder's motto: "I have believed in love," that is, in the love of Christ." Can you spot what's going on here? This could be describing any of the 1001 pre-Vatican II religious congregation or Society. Where is the mention of fighting modernism; of fighting Vatican II; of the Crisis in the Church; of error and heresy and the need for to preserve souls from the errors of the Council; of the "conciliar Chruch"...? What has become of "operation survival"? It has been turned into "operation all-you-need-is-lurve"...!This is just yet another clear piece of evidence, for those with eyes to see, of the strong will of the new SSPX to make itself as inoffensive to the world as possible! Pray that as many souls as possible will wake up, join the Resistance and thus ultimately be preserved from sliding, unsuspecting, into this spirit of desiring to be inoffensive to the world.

When Overseas Relatives Come to Visit: Foreign Nationals Here as Nonimmigrants, Permanent Residents or Citizens
Q: My parents or other relatives in my home country want to come to the U.S. to visit - can this be done?
A: We hear this question quite a bit, for all sorts of situations and all sorts of relatives.
In all cases, the appropriate visa for a short-term family visit will be either the B-1/B-2 Visitor Visa or, if the relative is from an applicable home country, the Visa Waiver program. You may wish to follow the links to our FAQ pages for these visa types before going any further.
The situation we hear about most often is where an adult child here in the U.S. as a non-immigrant or permanent resident will want a parent to come here to help after the birth of a baby. While this sounds like a straightforward and sympathetic situation, it can be among the most difficult. Officers at U.S. embassies and consulates controlling visa stamp issuance and U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers controlling entry tend to be suspicious of applications by parents of foreign nationals already in the U.S. - especially if the parent is older and retired or otherwise unemployed.
U.S. immigration officials are aware that in many cultures it is expected that elderly parents will come to live with their adult children, and so they are extremely suspicious of an overseas parent's true intent to return home at the end of the visit.
Ties to the home country must be extremely well-documented for such an application to be successful (and the parent/applicant must be ready to explain the situation, as officers will often refuse to even look at documents). Factors in favor of the parent would include evidence that that the parent has a job to return to if applicable, evidence that there are many other family members (perhaps including a spouse) still residing abroad to return to, evidence that they possess real estate and bank accounts or other property abroad, etc. Similarly, the temporary nature of the trip and the need for the parent's assistance in the U.S. for this brief period should also be well-documented.
Other especially difficult situations include young adult siblings of non-immigrant or permanent resident foreign nationals. U.S. embassies, consulates and interviewing BCE officers are also concerned that young (often 18-30-year-old) relatives often come to the U.S. ostensibly to visit family, but really are seeking to remain past the normal time for a visit and to accept employment - either to build a career in the U.S. or to earn and save money with which to build a life in the home country. The same extensive level of intent documentation should be assembled before applying at the embassy or consulate for a visitor visa or at entry when applying for Visa Waiver admission.
We often assist in the assembly of documentation for such applications - you may wish to contact us for help.
Q: How do we document ties to the home country when applying for the B Visitor's Visa at a U.S. embassy or consulate, or for visa waiver admission at a U.S. immigration port of entry?
A: While the most common way is with letters from those involved (inviting child in the U.S., overseas employer, overseas bank) or with documentary materials (deed for real estate owned abroad, bank statements for accounts held abroad, etc.), there is some room for creativity here.
We have used family photos taken in front of a landmark in the home country to show family members resident abroad. We have also used wedding invitations along with written RSVPs from the intending visitor for events to occur in the home country right after the planned date of return.
There are few limits on what you are permitted to submit as evidence, the real question is whether the evidence proves ties to the home country and lack of intent to remain in the U.S. past the length of this visit.
Contact us here to arrange a consultation, to inquire about retaining us to handle your immigration matter, or simply to suggest topics you would like to see covered on our site.
The above is presented for informational purposes only, and does not constitute legal advice or create an attorney-client relationship with our firm. The information provided should not be used as guidance in pursuing an immigration matter absent consultation with a qualified immigration attorney.

- Fingerprint authentication.
- SMS-based two-factor authentication.
- Can use on any number of PCs.
- Captures credit card data.
- Portable bookmarks.

- Can't categorize saved websites.
- Form fill-in limited to credit cards.
- Bookmarks must be imported from browser.
- Bookmarks include URL only, no title.
- Password generator has limited flexibility.
- No strength rating for passwords.
The master password for your password management utility protects every single one of your other stored passwords, so it needs to be a very strong password. For additional protection, many password managers let you enable some form of two-factor authentication. AllWebID goes further, making two-factor authentication a central feature. It's a good concept, but the competition offers all the same features and more for a lower price.
AllWebID works best when paired with a fingerprint reader, either one built into your laptop or a standalone unit. You swipe a finger to log into the ID Manager, and swipe again each time the product fills in a password for you. Not having a fingerprint reader at hand, I used the product's optional phone-based two-factor authentication.
Getting StartedOnce you've downloaded and launched the AllWebID client application, you need to create an account. You supply an email address and a so-called User ID. I say "so-called" because the User ID is effectively a password, and is used as such in the program. That means you need to make it complex and non-guessable, like the master password for any password management program.
You also need to supply a cell phone number for verification. Once you type in the PIN code texted to your phone, you can complete the installation and install drivers for a fingerprint reader, if you have one.
In its free trial mode, AllWebID will store credentials for just five websites. That's enough to let you get a feel for the program, but if you decide to actually use it you'll want to upgrade to the no-limits premium edition. While the price is nominally $5 per month, you have to pay for a full year at a time, so it's really $60 upfront.
Your passwords and details are stored online in encrypted form and transmitted securely to your local PC. That means you can install the AllWebID client on as many Windows-based computers as you like, with no need to manually synchronize data. LastPass 2.0 also keeps all your data in secured online storage; Dashlane 1.1 give you the choice of local-only password storage or synchronization through the Web. Note, too, that you can use either of these on Macs and mobile devices, while AllWebID is strictly for Windows.
Password CaptureAllWebID supports Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome, but unlike most password managers it doesn't add a browser toolbar button. When it detects that you've logged in to a secure site, it pops up a small window at the bottom right corner of the screen offering to save the credentials you entered. You can accept the site's URL as the name for this entry, or type in any name you prefer.

Security Watch
LastPass, RoboForm Everywhere 7, Password Genie 4.0, and quite a few others let you enter a category for each captured site, such as "finance," "email, or "travel." Using categories helps keep your passwords organized. LastPass and RoboForm even allow nested categories, as do KeePass and 1Password for Windows.
AllWebID doesn't use categories at all, like Trend Micro DirectPass. This lack of categories could make finding one password out of dozens difficult. Fortunately AllWebID does include a search box in its main window. Trend Micro lacks both a category system and a search box, so if you have a lot of saved logins finding a particular one can be tough.

People who practice yoga on a regular basis claim that they feel goodness within themselves. While there are still disputes about the potential benefits of yoga, there are some studies and new findings that support many of its contributions to physical, emotional and mental health.
Here are just three ways how yoga promotes good health.
- Yoga helps reduce the risks of heart disease
Recent research shows that yoga, just like other common physical exercises, can considerable decrease the possible risks of heart disease.
Various types of yoga such as gentle and energetic forms were studied. The research included a group of individuals at different ages ranging from young and healthy to older ones with some health conditions. Researchers got results proving that people who engaged in yoga classes improved the condition of their cardiovascular system regardless of their age. They found out improvements in several factors affecting heart disease risks. Those taking yoga classes lost weight by 5 pounds on average, lowered their blood pressure by 5 points and reduced the amount of harmful LDL cholesterol by 12 points.
According to Dr. Gloria Yeh, these positive changes when combined can significantly reduce the chance of developing a heart condition.
- Yoga helps people fight stress and anxiety
"Yoga is unique because it incorporates physical activity, breathing, and meditation," says Dr. Yeh. Yoga enthusiasts claim that they feel comfort and peace of mind during and long after a session. Yoga is known to use breathing techniques that make your nervous system calm. The practice leads to less anxiety and more relaxed state of mind.
A number of studies and reviews indicate a significant contribution of yoga to stress reduction and the way people respond to stress. A study at the University of Utah observed and tested three different groups – experienced yoga practitioners, people with fibromyalgia (a stress-related illness), and healthy individuals who didn't engage in yoga. With the use of MRI and other medical devices, the researchers found out that out of three groups, yoga practitioners had the lowest pain-related brain activity and, as a result, the highest pain tolerance. Based on participant's responses to pain, the researchers estimated that individuals who are more sensitive to pain have also poor stress management.
- Yoga helps increase self-esteem
Sometimes people feel like they are losing themselves. According to Ashley Turner, an experienced yoga trainer, the practice can help you find yourself and get to know yourself better. Yoga promotes self-trust and helps people regain their self-confidence. Interestingly, these positive mental changes within yourself often lead to a healthy lifestyle in general. People find themselves eating healthier foods and getting involved in fitness activities.

I know I probably say this every time I make a new smoothie recipe BUT this really IS the best smoothie I've ever had!
A smoothie that tastes just like carrot cake with carrots, walnuts, dates, almond milk and an optional drop of vanilla. No bananas, no sugar and full of goodness!
This smoothie came about after I had a few carrots leftover in the fridge and decided to look for a carrot cake smoothie recipe online.
However, all of the recipes I found had bananas in which a) I don't tolerate well in their raw form and b) totally transforms the taste of a "carrot cake" flavoured smoothie into something different.
So I decided to create my own with just a few simple ingredients, resulting in a thick, smooth, flavourful smoothie that is made with nothing but a few natural ingredients but tastes just like carrot cake.
Carrot Cake Smoothie
- 1 large carrot, peeled and grated
- 8 walnut halves, preferably soaked overnight
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground mixed spice, or pumpkin pie spice mix
- 4 dates, chopped and pitted
- 120 ml / 1/2 cup almond milk or more, if needed
- optional 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Simply blend all ingredients together until smooth, adding more almond milk if needed.
- Pour into 2 glasses and serve straight away!

Continuing the Endless Possibilities blog tour, I'm happy to introduce here a few words of wisdom on parenthood from author, teacher, photographer and sailor Shay Seaborne. When it comes to kids and getting to understand them, Shay brings a lot of experience to the table, sporting numerous bylines for home schooling journals and magazines.
Shay, welcome to my blog. Readers, say "Hey!" to Shay. Parents, take notes.
Kids seem to know when a parent is most overloaded–and that's when they act up the worst! I swear they have radar for this. If yours are like mine, they even have a pact to take turns being "the bad and annoying one." One will be super obnoxious until I'm about ready to kill and eat her, while the other plays the angel. Then suddenly, they switch; the angel becomes the devil and vice versa. The better to wear me down.
Unfortunately, kids pick up on parental energy and tone, amplifying and acting it out. So, they are being their worst at precisely the time we need them to behave at their best. This is one of the things that truly sucks about parenting, and I say this out of experience. [Read more…] about Endless Possibilities Blog Tour 2014: Shay Seaborne on Loving when Loving Is Hard

Cheap helmets cause for concern
CM wants officials to punish hawkers selling inferior quality helmets
CM wants officials to punish hawkers selling inferior quality helmets
Bikers, if you're tempted to buy one of those attractive helmets from the highway or any street stall, think again. Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan has taken serious cognizance of the quality of these helmets and asked the RTO and transport officials to take stringent action against hawkers selling cheap helmets in the city.
Representation Pic
The accident at Worli Seaface and another on the Lalbaug flyover seems to have been the tipping point for the CM's concern. Instigating swift action, the CM has initiated a new body called Maharashtra State Road Safety Council (MSRSC) to look into the cause of deaths due to bike accidents. "This council is chaired by the Chief Minister himself. Motorists need to buy helmets with ISI specifications. We will be reviewing the findings in regular meetings," said SK Sharma, Transport Secretary.
Cheap helmets
If the tendency of wearing helmets is absent among bikers, the availability of cheap quality helmets is another major issue. The roadside helmets are priced anywhere between Rs 80 to Rs 120. If bought from a retail shop, however, the cost would be more than Rs 350. "People should realise that their lives are more important and should only ride wearing a good quality helmet. We cannot keep a track of bikers round-the-clock. They should follow guidelines," said V Phansalkar, joint commissioner (traffic).
Speed devils
In recent times, riders most prone to accidents are teenagers who drive carelessly. Statistics reveal that 61.1 per cent of bikers who have succumbed to their injuries due to rash driving are from the age group of 15 to 44 years. The state transport department has now proposed to reduce the age of getting a driving licence to 18 years. Currently, 16-year-olds can ride 50cc two wheelers with their learners' licence.
What MSRSC is planning to do
* Training will be given to drivers, both four and two wheelers
* Will check the quality of helmets in the market
* Provisions for resting place will be available
* Mark the accident- prone spots
* Make ambulances available

2017 BMW 4 Series Coupe Review
We take the high-power BMW 440i for a drive on Irish roads
Pros: Straight-six sound, engaging drive, stands out
Cons: Expensive, limited practicality
In recent years, BMW has welcomed a series of new models into its ranks, and the 4 Series is one such example. In the three years since it was first launched (2014), it has become one of the most popular cars in the coupe class thanks to a great drive, plush interior and undisputed good looks. With the brand new Audi A5, Lexus RC and Mercedes-Benz C-Class all updated and chasing its tail however, the 4 Series has a wealth of competition to ward off for 2017. We spent a week with the high power 440i version of the 4 Series recently to see if it can stay on top for the foreseeable.
What is it like?
The new 4 Series Coupe replaced the much-loved 3 Series Coupe, but it offers more grown up and pronounced styling. Our test car is a 440i M Sport, which means it is one of the highest specification 4 Series models that you can buy in Ireland (next to the M4), and as such it has lots of eye catching features including 19-inch M Sport alloy wheels, M Sport body styling, a vibrant Melbourne metallic red paint scheme and twin exhaust pipes at the rear. Entry level SE models are quite toned down in comparison to this, but the 4 Series Coupe is nonetheless a great looking car and stands apart from the rest of the range.
The BMW 4 Series Coupe feels very much like the firm's popular 3 Series Saloon when you step inside, with a driver-orientated centre console, low-slung seating position and soft touch materials throughout. It isn't hugely practical though, with few places to put items in the cabin and a limited 445 litre boot. All models get a nicely-integrated 6.5-inch free standing screen on the centre console that presents infotainment neatly, along with heated seats and leather upholstery, which lend the cabin a premium feel. Once again, our range-topping M Sport test car has a lot of extras inside including a superb Harmon/Kardon surround sound system, which are great but expensive options.
The highlight of our 440i test car is of course what is under the bonnet, as it's powered by a frantic 326hp 3.0-litre straight-six petrol engine. 0-100km/h flashes by in just five seconds and it will top out at 250km/h if ever you find yourself on the Autobahn, while the straight-six sound that comes from the exhaust and which is to an extent artificially pumped into the cabin is simply gorgeous. Of course this engine won't make sense for the majority of buyers, who will instead go for the more sensible diesel options in the range including the go-to 420D. We managed around 7.8-litres per 100 kilometres of driving in fuel economy (circa 30mpg) during our time with the 440i, while annual road tax comes in at a rather hefty €750. What the 440i lacks in economy, it certainly makes up for in driving thrills.
The 4 Series Coupe is wider, lower and has a harder suspension setup than the 3 Series Coupe which it replaced, so it offers great handling credentials out on the road. Few other cars in the coupe class come close to the 4 Series in cornering composure, and that's emphasised further in our M Sport level test car which has optional M Sport suspension. On some of Ireland's bumpier road surfaces, M Sport suspension is simply too stiff however and the regular version is better suited. The 4 Series Coupe is also now available with optional all-wheel-drive (xDrive) for more surefooted power delivery, but BMW purists will prefer the rear-wheel-drive version, which can easily oversteer in the high-power 440i.
Prices for the entry level SE model 4 Series Coupe start from €48,140 here in Ireland which is on par with its main rival the Audi A5 Coupe, but slightly more expensive than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Standard equipment is very good with front and rear parking sensors, LED headlights, heated front seats and a sports steering wheel, while an eight speed automatic transmission (featured in our test car) is standard on the larger six cylinder diesel engines. Our 440i M Sport test car is rather special and as a result I t demands a handsome price tag starting at €72,130, but it's worth every penny for the extra performance that you get.
Carzone verdict: 4/5
Sure, the BMW 440i Coupe commands a hefty price and it isn't the most economical choice in 4 Series range, but it offers exhilarating straight-six performance, pin point handling credentials and endless smiles out on the road. Most buyers in Ireland will naturally gravitate towards the sensible 420d diesel, which while not nearly as impressive as the 440i, is a solid performer in its own right and comes better equipped than ever before.
Test Car Details:
Model driven: BMW 4 Series 440i M Sport Coupe
Prices from: €48,140
Price as tested: €77,333
Annual Road Tax: €750
Engine: 2998cc six-cylinder petrol

Top Speed: 250km/h
0-100km/h: 5 seconds
Transmission: 8-Speed Automatic

I think about this a lot:
the way the world is run, all the horrible, negative aspects of how people are controlled, how the world is owned by certain families and corporations – it's sickening, disheartening, and often makes me feel like giving up – there are many conspiracy theories that I believe, though I do not obsess over them – they make me sneer and hang my head, but then I look back up and realize I am really in charge of my own life, that even though these things go on, I am STILL in charge of how my life turns out, my own attitude, and since I am AWARE of these evil-doings, I can avoid them as much as possible, and fly under the radar.
Everyone will be somewhat affected, but we can all control what happens to us to some extent (and by some, I mean MOST) – laziness is bred into us. We want the easy way. It makes me laugh when people think they have no time to make their own meals for work, or that they have no time to walk their own dogs or care for their own children – it's sickening. What are they spending their money on (from the jobs that they spend all their time at?) – mostly things that are unnecessary, or they are perpetuating this ideal that is constantly bombarding us (more control from "them") – for real, we need to control ourselves.
The reason I think about this (but not too much, or I really will feel like giving up) is because knowing about the goings-on (the things that are HIDDEN from everyone, I do not pay attention to mainstream news) makes me feel empowered.
I also know that if I want beauty in my life, real health, real happiness, I have to do a limbo under that bar – probably pretty far down. Good thing I have awesome balance, because to get under that thing takes a bit of work – the laziness we're all conditioned to have is keeping us from learning what is really going on, not to mention it is suggested that we all do not do "enough" ! – and this exhausts people! It makes them miss out on the real joys in life!
I must say, I have NO hope for society as it is now, nor for most people. Yeah, that is negative, but guess what? The people who are really awake, they will be the ones who make it through, if there is ever something that wipes out humanity. I have hope for the conscious people. And the planet itself – I don't worry about her – she will right herself, if given a break from us humans.
Despite my attitude towards the majority, I still think we should all be a part of the solution – we all still need to change our habits – treat the planet with love, animals with love, and each other with compassion. We must create love and beauty if we want more of it – like attracts like – we can all be shining examples.
I feel like most of the population is apathetic – understandably – it's easy to get down on everything, whether you are exposed to the mainstream media or the alternative, hidden information!
Kids are so lucky because of this – once you hit the age when you are aware of evil in the world, that is when the interest in "play" wanes, the belief in the self, the strength to feel like you can do ANYthing. And you really can – maturity is a farce – it's great to be responsible, but it's a lie you have to "grow up" – people are stuffed into boxes where they are gassed with the horrors of life, and they get so blinded that they forget how to LIVE – the beautiful things in life are still out there! You are still able to do them!
Fuck the bad shit – don't contribute to it, speak up about it, but then go on and celebrate the gorgeous flutterings that squeeze your heart.

Cramer named NYSE Euronext his 2007 growth stock of the year last January, but the stock has been a major disappointment.
NYSE's fallen out of favor with Wall Street, too, especially after Tuesday's earnings report showed cost savings at the newly merged company weren't as big as expected.
CEO Duncan Niederauer admits "we still have a lot more to do," but Cramer needed to know more than that. Watch this interview to find out how the newly annointed chief executive plans to deal with post-merger integration, buying the American Stock Exchange and returning value to shareholders.

I studied art history and museum studies in Argentina. Prior to moving to the United States, I served as the Head of the Department of Education of the National Museum of Fine Arts, Buenos Aires. From 1997 to 1999, I was a Lampadia Fellow in the Department of French Paintings at the National Gallery of Art, in Washington D.C. I earned a Ph.D in art history from the University of Maryland in 2007. I work on the historiography of modern art history in the Interwar Period. My interest in these topics stems from my research on two case studies: the scholarship of John Rewald and his use of site photographs for the study of Paul Cézanne's art in the 1930s, and the history of the Chester Dale Collection of modern French art.

This is a story you simply must hear.
Amy Taylor is fierce.
She was diagnosed with a rare kidney disease at just 2 years old. She was strong, but in 2004 her health took a down turn and she was placed on the waiting list for a kidney transplant. Her doctors tried to preserve her kidneys as long as they could, but finally in 2008 her kidneys failed. For the next five years, Amy spent 12 hours a week connected to a dialysis machine. It kept her alive, but spending three days each week hooked up to a machine is no way to live.
During those tough days, Amy would head to Disneyland. At 5am she went to dialysis, and at 9:30am she left dialysis and went to the happiest place on earth. She says "I walked through those gates and forgot I was sick, forgot that I had band aids over where the needles were placed to clean my blood and remove fluids that my kidneys no longer did. I was a normal adult at Disneyland."
That's where Amy met her Dooney and Bourke bag. It was love at first sight. "I had to have it! It was just me!" she told me. I know how that is! Really, you don't choose the right bag. It chooses you. And this was absolutely the right one for Amy. "It means the world to me. I love Mickey shaped balloons, and now I can carry 'balloons' everywhere!"
This story has a happy ending. On May 5th, 2013, while Amy was celebrating orthodox Christian Easter with her entire family, the call she had been waiting for came through. She was going to have a kidney transplant. Now Amy spends her time spreading the word about kidney disease, failure dialysis and transplants.
So what's Amy's advice for dealing with the rough stuff life throws at you? "Don't let it rule you. You rule it. Don't let it bring you down."
Of her own illness, Amy says, "I was grateful that I had an option of dialysis. People waiting for other organ transplants often die waiting because they don't have an option other than transplant."
Ready to help? We can make a difference! Amy is participating in the Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) Walk at Disneyland! She's walking to help support sick kids in the hospital - she of all people knows how hard it is for a kid to be stuck in a hospital room. This is an incredible cause. I donated and I would love for you to join me: Donate to Amy's CHOC Walk here.
The Dooney and Bourke Balloon Mickey Mouse Satchel is hard to find, but Magical Ears Collectibles has a few for $269.95 if you (like me) simply must have one.
Do you have a bag that means something extra special? I'd love to hear about it, please post in the comments!
