Safety Software
These are just a few that I have found. If you google parental control software, you will find many software programs for your platform. I am not recommending one over another as I have never used any of them.
I do know that when my daughter is old enough, I will research these programs and find the right one and install it before she ever lays a hand on her computer.
Safe Eyes Great online service for mobile devices, social networking, and computers. You have to check this out if you have teenagers!
Reviews from consumer reports of some of the software and portals I have listed here.
iPad parental controls Article from Apple
Google Lock How to set google search engine in any browser with parental controls.
Webwatcher This one had won awards. This site has other software programs reviewed.
McGruff SafeGuard Free monitoring portal. Install it on your child's computer and you can turn on parental controls and monitor activity.
SpectorSoft Not Free! Really good software to purchase and install on your comptuer for monitoring and protecting your child and computer.
Safe Eyes for Macintosh Fee based program for parental control
MyMobileWatchdog A program for your child's cell phone. Allows you to monitor texts, email and and phone calls that are not on your "approved" list on the cell.

Cyberbullying is the use of technology to bully a person or group with the intent to hurt them socially, psychologically or even physically.
Right now there are many young people being Cyberbullied.
By reporting it, talking about it and supporting each other we can stop it.
Different Forms of Cyberbullying:
- Flaming - Online "fights" using electronic messages with angry and vulgar language.
- Harassment - Repeatedly sending offensive, rude, and insulting messages.
- Denigration - "Dissing" someone online. Sending or posting cruel gossip or rumors about a person to damage his or her reputation or friendships.
- Impersonation – Breaking into someone's account, posing as that person and sending messages to make the person look bad, get that person in trouble or danger, or damage that person's reputation or friendships.
- Exclusion – Intentionally excluding someone from an online group, like a "buddy list."
- Cyberstalking – Repeatedly sending messages that include threats of harm or are highly intimidating.
- Engaging in other online activities that make a person afraid for his or her safety.
How do people Cyberbully?
• Cyberbullying or Cyber-threating material—text or images—may be posted on personal web sites or blogs or transmitted via email, discussion groups, message boards, chat, instant messages, or texting.
• Sites and services have terms of use that prohibit posting harmful material.
Impact of Cyberbullying
• It is possible that the harm caused by cyberbullying may be greater than traditional bullying because:
- – Online communications can be extremely vicious.
- – There is no escape for those who are being cyberbullied —victimization is ongoing, 24/7.
- – Cyberbullying material can be distributed worldwide and is often irretrievable.
- – Cyberbullies can be anonymous and can solicit the involvement of unknown "friend so the target may not know whom to trust.
- – Teens may be reluctant to tell adults what is happening online or through their cell phone because they are emotionally traumatized, think it is their fault, fear greater retribution, or fear online activities or cell phone use will be restricted.
- – There are reports of cyberbullying leading to suicide, school violence (including one school murder), school failure, and school avoidance.
Why are Good Kids Engaging in These Behaviors?
Brain Development
• Teens are in process of developing frontal lobes that allow for reasoned and ethical decision-making.
• Learning to make reasoned and ethical decisions requires attention to the connection between actions and consequences.
Link to article about teen brains
– Use of technologies interferes with recognition of connection between action and consequences.
– You can't see me.
• Perception of invisibility, creation of anonymity removes concerns of detection and resulting disapproval or punishment.
– I can't see you.
• Lack of tangible feedback of impact of online actions interferes with recognition of harm caused, and resulting empathy and remorse.
Online Social Norms
• "Everybody does it."
• "Life online is just a game."
• "It's not me—it's my online persona."
• "What happens online, stays online."
• "I have the free speech right to write or post anything I want regardless of the harm it might cause to another."
• "If I can do it, it must be okay."
Exploration of Identity
• Social networking profile becomes vehicle to present emerging self-image.
– Which includes emerging sexuality.
• Social status games.
– Teens are using social networking as vehicle to establish their "place" within their social community.

Student Unsafe Online Behavior
Unsafe Personal Disclosure
• Many teens appear to have limited understanding of potential harm or damage from inappropriate information disclosure.
– But are highly sensitive to any intrusion by parents or other responsible adults.
• Simplistic rule - "Do not disclose personal information online" - is insufficient.
Addictive Access
-Addictive access is an excessive amount of time spent using the Internet resulting in lack of healthy engagement in other areas of life.
-Social networking addiction.
-Social anxiety over acceptance and status.
-Gaming addiction.
-Lack of healthy peer connections.
Online Strangers
• Teens will have increasing engagement with online strangers.
• Sometimes teens will want to meet in-person with an online stranger.
• Most strangers are safe, but some are not.
• Learning to assess the safety of someone met online and knowing how to arrange for a safe meeting (and when not to) is an essential new safety skill.
Brain Development
• Teens are in process of developing frontal lobes that allow for reasoned and ethical decision-making.
• Learning to make reasoned and ethical decisions requires attention to the connection between actions and consequences.
Unsafe Online Communities
• Depressed teens becoming involved in "pro-choice" self-harm communities.
– Suicide.
– Cutting.
– Anorexia.
– Passing out.
• Find acceptance from like-minded peers.
• Leads to contagion of unhealthy attitudes and behavior.
Targeting Staff
• Students posting harmful material targeting teachers or other staff.
• Could be a range of material:
– Staff person is targeted because of some perceived status issue, such as sexual orientation or obesity.
– Obnoxious attention-seeking student.
– "Youthful exuberance," a convenient target, and a lack of sensitivity to the harm caused.
– Objections to the actions or policies of the school or staff.
– Student has legitimate/imagined feelings that he or she has been bullied or mistreated by the teacher.
What Can Parents Do?
Set Internet Rules
These questions are the basis for Internet rules.
- What sites will you visit? (Set rules for the type of websites your child may visit.)
- Who will you talk to? (Set rules for chatrooms, instant messaging, e-mails, and webcam use.)
- How long will you be online? (Encourage children to have interests other than Internet use.)
Keep the computer in a common room
This is one of the most important Internet safety messages. Supervision by parents and guardians can be an effective method of protecting children online. Often parents/guardians are more concerned with monitoring television viewing than with allowing unsupervised access to the Internet. Putting the computer in a common room will only be effective if you also actively supervise your child or teen while they are online. Be concerned when your child minimizes a screen when you enter the room.
Discuss the importance of telling you or
a trusted adult if anything ever makes your
child feel scared, uncomfortable, or
confused while online
Prepare yourself beforehand
Be open with your children and encourage them
to confide in you
Educate yourself about technologies and use the web!
Consider safeguarding options
Filtering software restricts access to
inappropriate material
Monitoring software records websites visited,
chat conversations, and other content so you can view what you child is doing
See my below for ideas on how to find filtering software
Source: Netsmartz.org
Teach children not to put themselves at risk by not posting information that can be used against them.
Teach children to pay attention to how they are communicating. They should not insult, tease, harass or bully others.
Teach children not to hang around online in places where people treat others badly.
If Your Child is Cyberbullied
Don't retaliate! This only gives the cyberbully a "win" and could make other people think your child is the problem.
They should calmly and strongly tell the cyberbully stop and to remove any harmful material or you will take further action.
Tell your child to ignore the bully and block the communication and remove any friendship links.
Save the evidence. Try to figure out who the cyberbully is. You can do this by contacting the internet service provider or social networking site.
File a complaint with the ISP (internet service provider) or cell phone company. Contact MySpace if the problem takes place there. They have parent links for just such an event.
If the person is a friend, contact the bully's parents. Be sure to have evidence of the bullying to show the parents.
If the person goes to the same school contact the school principal or counselor. Again, save the evidence of the bullying including screen names, email accounts and all communications.
You can contact an attorney to send a letter or file a lawsuit against the parents of the cyberbully.
You or the school can contact the police if the cyberbulling includes any threats or is a crime.

It is weekend: long days of laziness, freedom and oceans of time… hehehe if only. So please let me rephrase that into: two days of unpaid work. With a bit of time in between. But don't worry, I might be exaggerating!
My plans for today were simple:
- lazy morning
- shower
- get dressed
- have breakfast
- fill in taxes over 2010
- clean windows
- go to supermarket
- make supper
- wait for Vman to come back.
That should not be too difficult right? Well, so far I have managed to finish the first four, but then I:
- finished my ebook: Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella – delightful chicklit!
- made bread
- started a new Dutch blog called 'Boekaholic' – more on that in the future
- wrote the first draft of my university column
- vacuum cleaned the upper landing, bathroom and bedroom
And now it is 3pm and I don't feel like doing all the stuff I had planned for today.
Guess it is pep talk time!
Come on Mar, stop talking, start ACTING!!
PS please add:
- Postaday2011
What are your plans for the weekend? And how is it so far?

It's not just individuals choosing to make a political statement these days. The list of brands stepping forward to voice their concerns over President Trump's policies is growing (we can assume some will show support but I have not seen these yet). The act of creative protest is being seen by many brands as an opportunity to take a stand for what they believe in and share their identity with the world. But is a political protest the right place for brands? Is it genuine or opportunistic? And from an economic standpoint, is it wise?
As with everything like this, the answer is complex, but it comes down to internal branding, culture and employee engagement. These tech firms issued statements to reassure their own people that they care and are taking action. That internal action then flows through to an external brand perception and consumers see the brands they use and buy doing something that resonates.
In my humble opinion, brands don't really have a choice in whether to be involved in protest now. Nearly everything is politicized in the current environment. And as people are increasingly buying things based on what aligns with their own social values, it's almost impossible to remain on the sidelines.
A brand can get involved in politics, but it's a risk since people care deeply about social and political issues. Brands can make it seem like they're taking the issue lightly. They can portray to great a sense of gravitas. That runs the risk of a brand appearing like it's seeking attention rather than making a firm commitment to a set of values. So, when venturing into a politically-charged branding effort, campaign, etc., you've got to judge the climate and how the brand's involvement will be taken, both by its most ardent supports and its detractors. Brands will get dragged into political debates, whether they like it or not, so it's wise to get in touch with the audience, understand what matters to them, and be on the firm ground with their support. So long as it's done from a place of authenticity, it will work.
Consumers are increasingly buying into the ethics and points of views of brands and the organizations that produce them which means there is a role for brands in political milieu. It's wrapped up in marketing and brands with purpose. Add to this that social media has required brands to be current and conversational, and the conversation of the moment is the tectonic changes in politics, media and society.
However, not all brands should be diving into the political fray. Using something as sensitive and incendiary as the now infamous "alternative facts" comments of the administration to sell products won't go down well in some camps. Not all brands will have permission to do so. Like it or not, history and audience affiliation shape what a brand can realistically do. If a brand belittles or trivializes something important, then that is a mistake. But if there is a connection to the cause in some way, like Tecate's obvious association with both Mexico and a segment of the US population that is increasingly welcoming of other cultures, then protesting the wall can amplify the protest sentiment of their target audience and build its value and connection.
In the end the best brands, those we feel a deep connection to, are those that stand for something. They are the ones that people are attracted to (or avoid). They have meaning in the broader cultural dialogue. For better or for worse, brands are stepping up and become symbols that drive beliefs – and actions. People seek out brands who fight for the things they care about. Getting it right and capturing your share of cultural relevance is simply the way of things in a politically charged world.

he 1870s were a busy time in Buffalo history- and the neighborhood now surrounding The Place was just beginning to develop and grow. It was a relatively rural district north of the main city, with orchards, farms and a few rutted dirt and plank roads moving carriages and people across to the Niagara River or the Erie Canal the main hubs of transit in those years. The building that later became The Place was constructed in the late 1870s, the earliest known occupant being Mr. Jacob Beier (sometimes spelled "Beyer"). A transplant from the heavily German neighborhood of the Fruit Belt, He eventually opened a saloon at 229 Butler Place; it was only later that the street was renamed "Lexington." Just a short distance from the major commercial zone at Black Rock, the location was surely a convenient stopping point for both businessmen and workers. Shifting from German to Irish ownership, Edward C. Donnelly took over the property.
The west side of Buffalo was known to be where the more upwardly mobile, or "lace curtain" Irish residents tended to gravitate. The saloon business was good apparently, because Christoph Piller eventually took over in the early 1900s, running "Piller's
Cafe" during the Depression (in April 1922 during the early years of the Prohibition era, the establishment was raided by federal dry agents who seized $10,000-$15,000 worth of booze in the saloon's back room, including Champagne, sherry, homemade wine gin, twenty cases of beer and 100 cases of whisky).Nonetheless,"Piller's Cafe" continued until the 1930s. By this time, the neighborhood was fully developed, boasting large Victorian wood-frame houses, and yet the saloon offered respite to the working class and well-to-do alike.
Bernie Flynn's ownership was the most storied, and he is credited with naming his iteration of the business "The Place" and for painting the walls their signature ruby red, alternating with India turquoise. According to The Buffalo News, he opened just two weeks before the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941 and by 1943, he began to post his humorous advertisements in local newspapers. He made "Flynnie's Thinnie" sandwiches, inspired by an east side German woman's tavern, and they were a hit with regulars. Tom & Jerrys, the warm holiday egg meringue drink, became a signature of The Place as well in those years.
Frequenting Lyon's Ice Cream Parlor on Grant Street, Bernie made the acquaintance of Edward "Buddy" Flynn (no relation) who worked there for his parents. He took a liking to the young man and recruited him to tend bar, which Buddy did for nearly 20 years before taking over the business himself. Carrying on the traditions set forth before him, Buddy kept the color on the walls, the Currier & Ives prints, and the various Irish memorabilia.
Kenny Moriarity (Buddy Flynn's nephew) ran The Place until it closed in May 2015. He started working there when he was 5 and took over the establishment in the early 1990s keeping many of the historic elements intact, including the menu. The bar's unpretentiousness was a huge draw, bringing in large crowds to eat good tavern food and simple drinks. At the holidays especially The Place was packed with revelers, holding their Christmas mugs sloshing with Tom & Jerrys.
In 2015, Jay McCarthy, Kevin Brinkworth and his wife Elizabeth "Betty" Brinkworth formed a partnership to carry on the tradition of The Place. They went through an extensive renovation between September 2015 and April 2016 making the space more efficient, customer friendly, and helping to restore The Place to its original charm and retaining many of The Place's memorable elements, including the mahogany wood walls, the original tongue and groove ceiling, and the original plaid wallpaper, coupled with new elements such as the copper bar top, redecorated backroom and new hardwood oak flooring.
Today, The Place on Lexington Avenue is a nostalgic reflection of Buffalo's past, offering both the classic ambiance and old time charm that Buffalonians have come to love since the original bar-restaurant opened decades ago. Roast turkey dinners, the "Thinnie Flynnie" sandwiches, and the Tom & Jerry holiday eggnog punch are all back and the tradition continues.

Stumbling upon a YouTube video of the 'National Anthem (Himn Artsakhi) of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic', sung by popular Armenian singer Andre was something of a surprise to me.
I'm not a big fan of national anthems. Most of them are rather boring pieces of music, with similarly boring lyrics. This one is no exception. Here's the national anthem of the Republic of Armenia for comparison.
What was surprising, however, is the sudden realization, that even though I'm seeing this – yet another little proof of Karabakh's independence and statehood, deep inside I can't make myself genuinely and sicerely accept Karabakh as an independent state… I don't know if this feeling is shared by other Armenians, but I only feel, need, want Karabakh as part of Armenia, and in no other form does it have any value to me.

Whilst some small businesses have managed to maintain growth and profitability over the last year, many SMEs are still feeling the effects of one of the worst downturns for decades. A number of our clients who have business coaching have found that their market has changed significantly over the last year and that previously reliable customers and contracts have been cancelled or lost, or that the contracts have become uncertain.
Now, more than at any other time, it is imperative that companies seek to find growth where they can. Businesses that are innovative, motivated and optimistic will be the ones that not only survive, but come out of this recession healthier, more dynamic and with a spring in their step. But the trick is in knowing what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. Business coaching has enabled many companies to capitalise on the potential that definitely exists with this market.
Make a Plan
With business coaching we find that one of the greatest restrictions for pro-active development is the availability of cash, particularly as many of the banks are still proving remarkably resistant to parting with any of theirs. In this situation, finding ways of generating cash within the business can make all the difference, and one effective way of doing this is to instigate an effective 'Cash Gap Plan.'
What is the Cash Gap?
Whatever business you are in, you are nearly always involved in buying in materials or stock, paying staff and doing some work, in order to provide the goods and services which you sell. In many cases you will buy these in ahead of time and most likely have to pay for them before you actually use them. This moment of payment we refer to as the 'Cash Paid' date. You then sell your products and services and invoice your customers and clients. They usually have a period in which to settle the account before you receive the cash in your account – the 'Cash Received' date.
The Cash Gap is quite simply the period of time between these two dates.
What is not always fully appreciated is the BIG difference that can be made to the cash flow of a business by getting to grips with this Cash Gap. This is one area where we can really help owners through business coaching.
Take Business A, a food processing company with a turnover of £1.1 million. Their Cash Gap absorbed approximately £3,000 for every day. This meant that their average cash gap of 87 days absorbed £260,000 worth of funds. Putting in place a Cash Gap Plan and reducing their gap to 58 days, released £87,000 of extra cash.
All this extra money, just by putting in place an effective and efficient plan!
Imagine what you could do with that extra injection of cash into your business.
- Do you know how big a difference reducing your Cash Gap by one day would make? … and if you reduced it by a week? … or a month? … or more?
- Do you know how big your Cash Gap actually is?
- Did you know that some companies have a negative Cash Gap?
… that is, they always get the money from the customer before they spend anything out.
So, if I asked you – "What kind of a Cash Gap Plan do you have?" what would your response be?
That is to say:
What kind of a plan do you have, in place now and operated consistently on a daily or weekly basis, to:
- collect quickly outstanding money from your debtors
- get your customers to pay on time, and
- improve your terms with suppliers
… so that your bank account always has plenty of cash in it?
If you don't have such a plan in place, now would be a good time to develop and initiate one, and start the cash flowing into your business.
As the old Chinese proverb goes: "When the winds of change blow, some people build shelters; others build windmills."
Without cash how are you going to move forwards and create that 'windmill?'

In the News: Cybersecurity - It's about way more than countering hackers
11/03/2014 - 4:40am
It's tense in the situation room. A cyber attack on the electrical grid in New York City has plunged Manhattan into darkness on a day that happens to be the coldest in the year. Concurrently, the cellular phone network has been attacked, silencing smartphones and sowing confusion and panic. A foreign power has claimed responsibility for the attacks and says more are coming. Your job is to look at geopolitical factors, intelligence feeds, military movements and clues in cyberspace to predict what may be happening next. Your goal is to make a recommendation to the President.
New paradigm enables more secure, reliable control networks for power grid
10/22/2014 - 9:20am
When an energy company sustains a cyber attack, control system operators must quickly identify, isolate and reroute around the affected network areas in order to maintain critical energy delivery functions. A global view of all communication flows would make that task much easier, but unfortunately, such an overview map isn't available to the energy sector at this time.

Recent research carried out by PwC highlights the need for more focus on customer service when it comes to doing business. The company surveyed 15,000 consumers from across 12 different countries across the globe. This comes after a similar report was carried out by PwC Ireland which came to the same conclusions.
Two-thirds of surveyed consumers felt that companies have lost touch with the human element when it comes to customer experience, with three quarters stating that they want to see more human interaction in this department.
In an ever-growing digital world where chatbots, artificial intelligence (AI), Big Data, etc are taking over, companies need to put more effort into ensuring the right customer experience balance for customers; ensuring the presence of both human interactions and technology.
While price and quality remain the top choice for consumers to purchase from a brand, a staggering 73% of those surveyed stated that positive customer experience was also key in determining brand loyalty.
Increase of up to 16% in ROI
More importantly, the research highlighted that businesses can benefit from up to a 16% increase in return on investment if they incorporate quality customer experience into their business model. Gone are the days when the focus was solely on the sale of products and services, more and more consumers are seeking out in-store experiences. Across the globe, customers are also willing to pay more for the following elements when it comes to customer service:
- Speed & efficiency (52%)
- Convenience (43%)
- Knowledgeable & helpful employees (41%)
Cost of Bad Customer Experiences
It's also important to incorporate positive experiences because bad customer experiences drive people away and will cost you money if consumers were to stop doing business due to unfriendly employees or lack of trust. In fact, 60% of those surveyed said that unfriendly service was a factor of bad customer experience, while 46% mentioned lack of knowledge among employees and half stated a company's trustworthiness.
Use of Technology & Mobile Devices
When it comes to positive customer experience, traditional retailers could be at an advantage as consumers care less about the shopping part and more about the actual experience. However, more in-store training is still needed, especially when it comes to the incorporation of mobile devices to make the shopping experience even more interconnected. Speaking of mobile devices, however, more than half of Irish consumers are still concerned about security when making a payment through their mobile phone. They are also very concerned about how their personal information is used and are afraid in case this information is misused.
Employees are Important to the Experience
In order for companies to benefit from increased ROI, a company's employees must be the driving force behind a customer's experience. Out of those surveyed, 71% feel that it's the employees who have a significant impact on their experience but only 44% of employees actually understand consumer needs. Brands also can't solve customer problems using technology alone. It's all about using a mixture of consumer demand for technology and mobile devices with their desire for authentic, personal interaction with employees.

Background: It is not clear whether tumor marker responses can predict survival during sorafenib treatment in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We investigated whether the α-fetoprotein (AFP) response is associated with survival in patients with advanced HCC treated with sorafenib.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 126 patients with advanced HCC treated with sorafenib between 2007 and 2012. An AFP response was defined as >20% decrease from baseline. At 6–8 weeks after commencing sorafenib, AFP and radiological responses were assessed by modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors.
Results: The median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 6.2 and 3.5 months, respectively. Of the study population, a partial response (PR) was identified in 5 patients (4.0%), stable disease (SD) in 65 patients (51.6%), and progressive disease (PD) in 57 patients (44.4%), respectively. AFP non-response was an independent prognostic factor for poor OS (median 10.9 months for AFP response vs 5.2 months for AFP non-response), together with Child-Pugh B, tumor diameter ≥10 cm, and portal vein invasion (all P<0.05), and PFS (median 5.3 months for AFP response vs 2.9 months for AFP non-response), together with tumor diameter ≥10 cm and portal vein invasion (all P<0.05). SD or PR was more frequently found in AFP responders than in non-responders (72.1% vs 47.0%, respectively; P=0.007). In a sub-group with SD, OS (median 12.7 vs 5.8 months, respectively) and PFS (median 9.1 vs 3.7 months, respectively) were significantly longer in AFP responders than in non-responders (all P<0.05).
Conclusion: Early AFP response may be useful for predicting survival in patients with advanced HCC treated with sorafenib.
Keywords: α-fetoprotein, hepatocellular carcinoma, response, prognosis, treatment outcome, sorafenib

How do I Become a Plant Engineer?
There are two ways to become a plant engineer. The first involves an engineering degree and six years of experience. The second way is open to licensed engineers. You must take a final exam with over 100 questions before becoming a certified plant engineer. It is also necessary to attain a specific number of credits every three years in order to remain certified.
Those looking to become a plant engineer must realize the job requires a high level of knowledge pertaining to numerous facets of engineering. A plant engineer needs to be educated to a standard where he or she is capable of running an entire facility. Plant engineers have to modify, maintain, select and install plant equipment. There are also duties of an administrative kind, including calculating the plant's budget.
To pursue the first path of becoming a plant engineer, it is necessary to have completed a four-year degree course in engineering or a related topic. Of the six years of total work experience required in the field, four should be in management. It is possible to become a plant engineer without a degree, but this requires eight years experience, six of which should be as a manager. Those who have been licensed engineers for a minimum of four years can follow the second path to becoming a plant engineer.
After all of the above requirements are met, applicants have to prove they have the requisite work experience. Those looking to become a plant engineer through the second category need to show proof of their licensing, but do not have to take the exam. This final exam normally consists of multiple-choice questions covering a range of topics including electrical, civil and mechanical engineering. There may be several different tests, though it is possible to take all of them in one lengthy sitting. Those who are successful in the exam will be given a plant engineer identification card.
Once an individual has become a plant engineer, he or she has not yet completed his or her requirements. All plant engineers are subject to re-certification requirements, which should be completed every three years after the exam. Plant engineers must gain a certain amount of credits within this time. These credits can be acquired via attendance at various seminars and workshops relating to the field of plant engineering.

- Make sure this restaurant has only ONE drive-thru window and not two; there is going to be a surprise at the end
- Also confirm beforehand that the restaurant staff is mostly American; You want there to be people who are familiar with Jackass, let alone MTV
Step 1 Pull up to a local fast food restaurant.
(Self explanatory)
Step 2 Go into their drive-thru line
(Self explanatory)
Step 3 Place (unusual) order
Once at the drive-thru intercom, ask for something that's only served at ANOTHER fast food restaurant. Examples include ordering a Big Mac at a Wendy's, or a Whopper at a McDonald's, or a Baconator at a Burger King... You name it!
Step 4 Be persistent
Even though you'll be informed that said meal is not served there and that you have to order something else, ask for something from a DIFFERENT fast food restaurant (but still not from the one at which you're ordering).
Step 5 Blankly ask for "whatever"
After about 1-2 minutes, say "Okay, just surprise me." If you are suggested a certain meal, reply, "Yeah okay, whatever."
Step 6 Reveal what's going on
After pulling up to the drive-thru window, tell whoever comes up, "Hi! I'm Johnny Knoxville, welcome to Jackass!" similar to that of a TV prank show.
Step 7 The happy ending
The staff will likely be shocked and excited that the Jackass cast has come to their restaurant.
Give them a piece of autographed Jackass memorabilia (eg. Johnny's helmet from Big Red Rocket) and take a picture with the staff to make up for the confusion.

Although this unofficial model (which may be known as the Galaxy Within) is clearly related to the unlocked model we saw, everything is different enough to suggest that Samsung will follow the success of its Galaxy S series with the same game plan: releasing similar, but not identical products for multiple carriers.
This particular handset, for instance, is rounder than the unlocked version we reviewed, from the corners on the body to the camera housing, and the volume rocker on the left side appears to be a chunkier metallic component than the Galaxy S II's thin black plastic strip.
While we don't know details for sure, it's clear that Samsung is readying its Galaxy S II launch in the U.S., especially when it's selling like hotcakes in Europe.

The stadium is a part of the Luzhniki Olympic Complex, and is located in Khamovniki District of the Central Administrative Okrug of Moscow city.
The name Luzhniki derives from the flood meadows in the bend of Moskva River where the stadium was built, translating roughly as «The Meadows».
Its field is used mainly for football games by Torpedo Moscow club, who also own the sports complex, and Spartak Moscow, as well as being one of the home grounds of the Russian national football team.
It is one of the few major European stadia to use an artificial pitch, having installed a FIFA-approved FieldTurf pitch in 2002. The pitch is necessary because regular grass pitches cannot withstand the harsh Russian winters and must be replaced at high cost. However, a temporary natural grass pitch was installed for the 2008 UEFA Champions League Final.
The stadium is also used from time to time for various other sporting events and for concerts.
The stadium was built in 1955–56 as the Central Lenin Stadium, and was officially opened on 31 July 1956. It was the national stadium of the Soviet Union, and is now the national stadium of Russia.
It was the chief venue for the 1980 Summer Olympics, the spectator capacity being 103,000 at that time. The events hosted in this stadium were the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, Athletics, Football finals, and the Individual Jumping Grand Prix.
In 1992, the stadium was renamed the Luzhniki Stadium. An extensive renovation in 1996 saw the construction of a roof over the stands, and the refurbishment of the seating areas, resulting in a decrease in capacity.
The stadium hosted the 1999 UEFA Cup Final in which Parma defeated Marseille in the second UEFA Cup final to be played as a single fixture.
The Luzhniki Stadium was chosen by UEFA to host the 2008 UEFA Champions League Final won by Manchester United who beat Chelsea in the first all-English Champions League Final on May 21.
Prior to the match some skeptics questioned the state of the pitch and also the ability of Russian authorities to keep order amongst the traveling British fans; however, the match passed incident-free and a spokesman for the British Embassy in Moscow said,
In August 2013 the stadium hosted the World Athletics Championships.
The 2018 FIFA World Cup has been awarded to Russia and the Luzhniki Stadium has been selected by the Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup bid as the venue for the final which will be held on July 8, 2018.
The stadium will then join Rome's Stadio Olimpico, Berlin's Olympiastadion, Munich's Olympiastadion and London's Wembley Stadium as the only stadia to have hosted the finals of the FIFA World Cup, UEFA's European Cup/Champions League and featured as a main stadium of the Summer Olympic Games.

USSR/Russia national football team (1956–present
The Luzhniki Stadium hosted the final game of the 1957 Ice Hockey World Championship between Sweden and the Soviet Union, attended by a crowd of 55,000 and setting a new world record at the time.
Other events staged include the 1973 Summer Universiade, the 1989 Moscow Music Peace Festival and the inaugural World Youth Games in 1998.
The 2013 Rugby World Cup Sevens was held at the ground. It also hosts European games for other football clubs, such as Rubin Kazan, owing to the home stadiums of the respective clubs not meeting UEFA standards.
Artists such as Michael Jackson (1993 Dangerous Tour), The Rolling Stones, Madonna (2006 Confessions Tour), Metallica (Sick Of The Studio '07 tour), Kino, U2 (2010 U2 360° Tour) have all performed concerts in the stadium.
It also makes an appearance in the Russian film Night Watch (Russian: Ночной дозор, Nochnoy Dozor), during the power shut-down scene when the power station goes into overload. The stadium is seen with a match taking place, and then the lights go out.
New Japan Pro Wrestling, the Japanese professional wrestling promotion, ran a show in 1989 as well.
Most recently, Red Hot Chili Peppers played at the stadium on July 22, 2012.
The Alisa album Shabash is taken from two concerts performed here over two nights in late October 1990.
On October 20, 1982, disaster struck during the UEFA Cup match between FC Spartak Moscow and HFC Haarlem. 66 people died in the stampede, which made it Russia's worst sporting disaster at the time.

If you're in the market for a color copier at bargain pricing, with all the leading tech features imaginable, with the best warranty and shipping rate offered online, Copiers-On-Sale is the premium place to purchase color copiers. Just call us today at 1-855-955-9855 toll-free and do a little price comparison. You just might be convinced to take us up on our value proposition.
We offer a full parts and labor 30-day warranty on all of our color copiers, including all of our featured brands and an extended 2-year warranty. As of now, Copiers-On-Sale is the only online dealer offering this exclusive extended warranty on all color copier models. Call 1-855-955-9855. toll-free to obtain more details!
All of our color copiers have less than three months of use of them. That's right. Just three months of use! And many of our color copiers produce 12 * 18" and even do 13 * 19''. Not to mention that our color copiers fold and staple, do magazines and booklets, and scan as well.
While black-and-white copiers haven´t become obsolete yet, the handwriting is on the wall. Many vendors don´t sell black-and-white only copiers any more. This leads to a decrease in demand. Once demand for the product slows, then demand for the parts to fix a product slows. Before long, the product becomes obsolete.
Color Copy Machines Can Handle Complex JobsDue to advanced technology, copiers like digital color copiers can handle complex jobs like graphic-intensive newsletters and brochures.
After all, color is to be shown off. They are able to do things like collate and print multiple copies seamlessly. As marketing is the backbone of any business, all the money you save on copying, for example, can be spent on other direct marketing benefits like more ad buys.
Color Copiers are Cost Effective
Piggybacking off the point just above, imagine going to your local print shop and reproducing 50 copies of a new color-intensive brochure. Even at the rock-bottom low end of $1 per page, this can add up quickly, especially if your brochure is a few pages long and you do this several times a month.
Again, this is money that could be better spent elsewhere to grow your small business. By the time you pay for a few print runs, you could have paid outright for a color Copy Machine.
Color Copiers Make Better Presentations
Just like in photography, color pops. It draws the eye in and commands attention. When you are going over things like sales charts and income projections, having the ability to see it laid out in a color-coded fashion makes it easier to take in and understand.
Your staff can immediately see if the company is in the red or the black, because you´ll be able to show them the numbers and chart lines in vivid color.
Color Copiers Give You a "Big-Boy" Image
Imagine this: you´ve wooed a big client. They were impressed with your website. After all, you invested a few thousand in your online presence and it shows. You look like a multi-national corporation. They were impressed with your phone consultation.
Now, they want you to give a presentation to their board. It´s between your growing company of 20 employees, and another company with over 250 employees. They feel like they have it in the bag.
Can you imagine showing up with black-and-white graphics because you didn´t invest in a color copier? The bottom line: color copiers allow you to compete with the big boys.

Avid GTA 5 gamers are in for some good news, as Rockstar Games has reportedly extended the bonus crate drop event until 13 October (Monday) to encourage gamers to win limited edition collectibles comprising the rare Victory Fist T-shirts while playing GTA online on current-gen systems.
In addition, returning gamers from PS3 and Xbox 360 to next-gen systems (PS4 and Xbox One) would get exclusive collectibles on pre-ordering the re-mastered edition of the game via the PlayStation store or the Xbox Live marketplace.
The extension of Special Crate Drops event has been officially confirmed by Rockstar Games via Twitter:
Just go to the Capture point or crate drop location earmarked on the map, destroy the crates, and if you are lucky you could find the rare Victory Fist tees inside them.
The limited edition Fist tees are not available anywhere else in the game. So, it is your only chance to make the most of Rockstar's generous offer until stocks last.
Another leaked screenshot (above) pertaining to the game pre-order home page on the PlayStation Store suggests that returning players from current-gen to next-gen will be eligible for new vehicles, collectibles, weapons and more as the game progresses; these will be transferred from their current console systems to the next-gen.
It is not yet clear if the collectibles would include T-shirts, trophies, achievements or some special downloadable content (DLC).

After months of keeping her relationship on the DL, Lady Gaga has finally confirmed her engagement to her talent agent, Christian Carino. On Monday night, the singer spoke at the 25th Elle Women in Hollywood event at the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills, thanking her "fiancГ©" during her on-stage speech. But even though the singer has previously kept her engagement low-key, she hasn't been shy about showing off her gorgeous engagement ring-a massive pink stone that she's worn on her ring finger since the summer, when Carino reportedly proposed after asking Lady Gaga's father, Joe Germanotta, for his blessing.
According to jeweler Andrew Brown, President of WP Diamonds, the ring totes a price tag just as huge as its large center stone. "Lady Gaga's spectacular ring appears to be a six to seven carat pink sapphire with a diamond halo, totaling three to four carats. This is likely a high quality, no heat (treatment), pink sapphire," Brown told E! News in an interview. "It looks like it may be a padparadscha sapphire, in which case this ring would easily retail between $300,000 and $400,000."
Padparadscha sapphires are reportedly one of the rarest sapphires in the world, making them sought after by the world's elite and those who want a truly unique engagement bauble. The newly married Princess Eugenie also wears a pink padparadscha sapphire engagement ring from her now-husband, Jack Brooksbank. "Why I loved it so much is it changes color from every different angle that you look at it, which is what I think of Eugenie," Brooksbank told BBC during the couple's first post-engagement joint interview. "She changes color, and it's just so amazing."
Looks like this ring isn't just fit for Hollywood royalty like Lady Gaga, but actual royalty as well!

The following is one of 5 first-person chronicles of our first 5 decades as a lodge, published in honor of our 50th anniversary in December of 1942.
By Lee Allen & E. E. Wegner —
BPOE #249 Past Exalted Rulers
– written in 1942
From 1912 to 1921 the Lodge enjoyed its first real prosperity, notwihstanding that our first Temple had been built and paid for. Membership had increased from less than 600 to nearly 1100, in spite of the fact we lost over 200 by the installation of the Lewiston and St. Maries lodges.
In 1912 at the Grand Lodge session at Portland, Oregon, the five Idaho lodges put on a show that attracted a great deal of attention. Over $6000 was spend on this event, of which amount this lodge became liable for and finally paid about $4800.
From 1913 to 1918, several classes of fawns, ranging from 10 to 39, were initiated, and at one ceremony 60 members from the Spokane Lodge came to take the leading part in the initiation and show outside. "Dutch Jake" and his famous cannon: the noted Spokane male quartet, and our "Maud," the bucking mule, who gained fame at the Portland show, were prominent features. By the way, "Maud" cost the lodge some $400 at the Portland ceremony alone.
In 1918, the Temple had its first remodeling at a cost approximating $4500 and the membership increased nearly 200 as a result. G. G. Pickett was largely responsible for this advancement.
Thirty-seven members served their country in the first World War.
