Purpose. This study aims at evaluating coping style and quality of life in patients with glaucoma and cataract. Methods. The participants were patients , 130F; mean age: M = 67,8; SD = 9,5 with low vision caused by cataract and glaucoma who answered the Quality of Life Questionnaire QOLQ by Schalock and Keith. The participants were divided by means of cluster analysis k-means according to coping styles measured by CISS Endler and Parker into three groups: 1 high mobilization for coping, 2 task-oriented coping, and 3 low mobilization for coping. Results. In all the group, a general quality of life was moderately lowered; however, in task-oriented group it was relatively high. Moreover, task-oriented group had significantly lower level of anxiety STAI, hopelessness HS, and loneliness UCLA LS-R and higher level of self-esteem SES in comparison to the patients from high mobilization and low mobilization for coping. Conclusions. In an old age, adaptive coping with vision disturbances does not necessarily mean flexibility in combining all coping styles, but rather task-oriented coping and an ability to use social support. Extreme mobilization for coping seems not adaptive similarly like low mobilization for coping because it violates balance between environmental requirements and personal resources.

I realize the days have gotten away from me again as we had a busy weekend and our girls were home again today for Martin Luther King day. Wanted to take some time to catch up on what's been going on! It is Day 13 of the Whole 30 and we are still going strong and doing well!
This past weekend we travelled to Target and was looking for some healthy snacks to get us through when we are hungry and either wanting something quick, or we are out on the road and need a quick snack to hold us over until our next planned meal. :-) We picked p the following snacks to help us do that. You may note the Larabars...on the Whole 30 only certain ones are allowed. They are: cashew cookie, carrot cake, apple pie, cherry pie, pecan pie, coconut creme pie, banana bread and key lime pie. Some of the others contain vanilla extract which is considered alcohol on this diet... or another ingredient that you cannot have.
It is very important to read all the labels on your foods before purchasing. Even after completing the Whole 30 this should become a habit to help improve your health. :-) You'd be surprised how much sugar and artificial ingredients are in there!
The other items are freeze dried fruits, baked apple slices and other bars that are compliant. I must say they have really helped when I find myself getting really hungry and needing a quick fix! ;-)
I also experimented with unsweetened coconut milk. I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I gave it a try and it was bearable, lol. The tea is Lipton Pure leaf tea bags in a peach flavor (all natural ingredients). The omelet has onion, mushrooms, salt and spinach in it. The sausage is a chicken apple sausage I found at Walmart, also very good!! Finally was able to find a sausage without pepper so I was quite happy about that!
My red grapes, always washed and ready to go for a quick, sweet snack!! Grapes are delicious as a frozen snack too if you keep a few in the freezer.
This was a simple shrimp stir fry I made one evening too.
Kathleen has been making all kinds of new creations with her Rainbow Loom bands and most recently she made me this Tigger, which I absolutely love! She has her own little business selling them and I'm so proud of her!!
Hayley enjoying some time with a very spoiled rotten Elvis!! :-) She is preparing for her final exams! Hard to believe the year is half over already! Where does the time go?
And Mr. Blue Heron is back visiting our pond again....
What's new with you? How's your New Year starting off so far?
"If you can't fly, then run, if you can't run, then walk, if you can't walk, then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward." ----Martin Luther King Jr.

text: I set up VPN over PPTP protocol for 5 clients - it works perfectly. All clients is entering our LAN and they are receiving ip adresses which our LAN uses (10.x.x.x). But we must set up VPN for 15 ppl not only 5. So we decided to configure VPN over IPSEC using QuickVPN and TheGreenBow VPN client. And troubles arrived !! The situation is like this. Quick VPN is hanging in "veryfing network" - using dial up internet connection. It goes easly when I use Static IP. When I connect using QuickVPN from my home (i have static ip - static internet connection) I can ping only router where I am connected. I can access it. But I can't ping anything else in LAN network. I cant find computers etc. I thought QuickVPN sucks so I decided to use TheGreenBow VPN Client - I configure it using your step by step instruction but the problem is still the same. I can access router but nothing more. When I set up tunnel I access router and there is mentioned that 1 tunnel is connected - so it is ok. But when I enter "ipconfig" I do not have any ip adress from Lan where I am connecting in. (in PPTP I had my own LAN adress - and there everything was fine). Please help me becouse my time is running out and I need to set up this 15 VPN tunnels. Most of remote users have dial up network - will it be a problem to connect our LAN using VPN ?

There's a secret in the world of fighting poverty that shouldn't be a secret at all...
Maybe you've heard of us, maybe you haven't. But if you're interested in helping children and adults struggling in poverty and/or learning how to effectively lobby for change, you really should find out why U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) called us "the greatest citizen's lobbying organization in the history of Western civilization."
RESULTS is a leading force in ending poverty in the U.S. and around the world. We create long-term solutions to poverty by addressing the root causes of poverty: lack of good health, education, and economic opportunity. We do it by training ordinary people to become extraordinary voices for the end of poverty. When regular people become empowered advocates, they turn into everyday heroes!
#1 RESULTS activists are "Super-Activists"
Maybe you've seen those online petitions where you click on a button to make your voice heard? Those can be very useful, but that kind of "clicktavism" is not what we're talking about here. What we're known for is training empowered individuals to build strong personal relationships with members of Congress and the media. Those relationships built on trust, respect, and professionalism allow us to "go deep" with decision makers on the issues beyond a few talking points. We want to build "political will," meaning we want elected officials to personally have the desire to fight poverty themselves instead of just taking action because they were pressured by voters.
It's not uncommon for RESULTS activists to be on a first name basis with a senator or congressional staffers. While RESULTS staff supports us with great coaching and issue experts, volunteers feel empowered to own the whole relationship. We set up our own lobby appointments. We personally know the office admins and schedulers. We recognize our members of Congress on airplanes, elevators, and farmers markets in our communities and we're always ready with a practiced "elevator talk" on our favorite anti-poverty issue...just in case! This is all possible because empowerment is key to our culture.
I was recently in a RESULTS meeting where this statement was made: "I don't know. That just seems like wimpy goal. That's just not very 'RESULTS,' is it? Let's go bigger." That made me smile because it touched on something fundamental in our culture. It's right there on the logo. We're not out to just to reduce child mortality rates or decrease the number of hungry Americans although those are important goals along the way. We want to stop these terrible things completely. We're here to END POVERTY. To paraphrase Professor Muhammad Yunus, we want to put poverty in a museum where people will someday come and visit to find out what poverty was like since they can't find it anymore out in the world.
We started out as an organization to fight global hunger over 30 years ago, but there were such strongly interrelated aspects to poverty and hunger that we just had to take on more. Today, we fight for the health, education, and economic justice for people in poverty in the US and around the globe. We take a holistic approach and fight on many fronts because our goal is nothing less than the end of poverty.
#3 Big Impact for Epic Change
Think about a meteor crater. Consider how a relatively small piece of rock, because of the power behind it, can have such a big impact on the surrounding area. That's how I like to think of RESULTS. We don't spend tons of money on advertising or have hundreds of thousands of advocates. We use our resources very strategically to influence the right decision-makers at the right time to make epic change.
I'm a former engineer so I like to think of RESULTS as a "force multiplier," something that adds more power to the effort you actually put in. It's a financial force multiplier because donations to us fuel advocacy to direct millions of federal dollars toward smart, effective anti-poverty programs...or make those programs smarter, and more effective. Donor dollars actually go much farther - sometimes 100 or 1000 times farther - than if the dollars were donated to a direct service charity. It's a force multiplier of effort because our strategy and cross-country teamwork gets more mileage out of my advocacy actions than if I were acting alone.
But it's not just me that believes in the method and mission of RESULTS. Take it from someone much smarter than me...internationally respected economist Dr. Jeffrey Sachs...and if you are moved to know more, visit www.RESULTS.org to join us or donate to our mission: ending poverty!
"I don't know another organization that is as effective, that shows the leadership, combines the moral commitment and the practical impact of RESULTS."
— Jeffrey Sachs, Economist and Director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University

There are very few exercises that you should avoid during your menstruation cycle. In fact, exercise is recommended to help relieve symptoms related to menstruation, including cramps, lower back pain, water retention, irritability and other discomfort. Continuing regular practice of yoga, cardiovascular activity and weight training can help improve your menstruation experience and shorten the duration of associated symptoms.
Among experts, there are only few specific exercises that are recommended for menstruating women to avoid. Certain yoga poses fall into this category, specifically, inverted poses like shoulder stands, head stands, or plough pose, but the greater emphasis is on avoiding poses or positions that cause discomfort of any kind.
Cardiovascular Exercise
Cardiovascular exercise is highly recommended during the premenstrual and menstrual cycle. If you already have a cardiovascular routine that you follow, there is no reason to alter it. If you exercise intermittently or have an issue with significant cramps or back pain, opt for low-impact cardio exercises like swimming, walking, elliptical training and similar workout choices.
Weight Training
Weight training is recommended during the menstruation cycle. Resistance training increases strength and boosts metabolism, which can help you to avoid weight gain, a common issue during the menstruation cycle. Additionally, resistance exercises targeted to strengthen the lower back and abdominal muscles can improve muscular support and reduce the experience of pain associated with menstruation.
Yoga Practice
Yoga is highly recommended during menstruation as it promotes relaxation, improved mood, better posture, increased blood flow and circulation and muscle strength. With the exception of a few poses that may or may not be more difficult during this time, yoga practice is highly encouraged whether you are at novice level or expert level.
In general, women that are menstruating are advised to listen to their bodies and do workouts at their own pace, taking breaks as necessary and taking care not to overexert themselves. If premenstrual or menstruation symptoms are particularly bothersome to you, choose gentler exercise and stretching routines over high-impact or strenuous workouts. If pain is a significant issue for you during this time, consult with your doctor.

I am looking for anyone using WVO or biodiesel in the Southern MO, Northern and Central AR, and Northern and Coastal LA areas. Let's talk shop, what you've got what you've tried and what you want to do in the future. I'm looking to start a co-op to share or sell oil.
I live in Clinton, AR but routinely travel to Mountain Home, AR. Areas along Hwy 60,65 and 62/412 such as Springfield, Branson, Joplin, Western Plains, Harrison, Fayetteville, Springdale, and Bentonville are within easy reach.
I also work offshore out of LA so every month I am traveling along the Hwy 167 corridor from Little Rock - El Dorado, AR to Pineville, LA and the Hwy 90 corridor from Alexandria - Houma, LA. Alternately I can travel Hwy 165 from Pine Bluff, AR to Monroe, LA.
Currently buring WVO in a 91 Mercedes 350SD using a heated centrifuge.
If you are interested, please contact me and let's get this going!
Thank you in advance.

Today is fresh vegetables day. It is the perfect time of year to purchase fresh veggies from your local farmer's market or grocery store. Many vegetables are coming into season this time of year, which means the best product for the best price.
To stretch your dollar and prolong the life of your produce, here is a list of the best ways to store your vegetable. I have hand selected my favorite veggies for this list.
Here is a printable version of this list which also includes best storage practices for fruits and some other vegetables not on this list.
Asparagus- Place them loosely in a glass or bowl upright with water at room temperature.
Beans- Put in open container in the fridge, eat ASAP. Some recommend freezing them if you're not going to eat them right away.
Broccoli- Place in an open container in the fridge or wrap in a damp towel before placing in the fridge.
Carrots- If you cut the tops off, they stay fresh longer. Place them in a closed container with plenty of moisture, either wrapped in a damp towel or dunk them in cold water every couple of days.
Cauliflower- It will taste best if eaten the day it is bought, but it will last awhile in a closed container in the refrigerator.
Celery- It does best when simply placed in a cup or bowl of shallow water on the counter. This is one vegetable I always make the mistake of just throwing in the crisper drawer in the fridge and leaving.
Corn- OUR FAVORITE VEGETABLE AT IL CORN! Leave unhusked in an open container if you must, but corn really is best the day it's picked.
Lettuce- Keep damp in an airtight container in the fridge.
Onion- Store in a cool, dark and dry place. It is best if they have good air circulation (don't stack them.) Some people place them in hanging baskets. Onions that have been peeled or cut will need to be stored in the refrigerator.
Spinach- Store loose in an open container in the crisper, cool as soon as possible. Spinach loves to stay cool.

"Hello, my name is Terrania, I am a transgender woman from Europe and I have been using the Transfemme products for four years. I am finally happy with myself after many years of working on my body and I have completed my transition!
A little about me, from the time I was a teenager I knew I was different. I would imagine myself as a beautiful girl like my older sisters and try on their shoes and dresses and wear make up. I believe in past lives and I think maybe us T-girls were women in our past lives and this time we were born male and it seems wrong because we know we are always female?
By the time I was twenty I knew I wanted to be female and I started researching everything I could find on transitioning.
I was on a long journey to womanhood and there have been many ups and downs for me. Transitioning was a big step and I did not have the support of my family, there were a lot of judgments against me. My family is very traditional and set in their old ways, I felt very sad and isolated for a long time because no one understood how I felt and why I knew I was trapped in the body I was born with.
What made the most difference for me in feminizing myself has been the Transfemme pills and Bountiful Breast cream and that's why I gave my photos and testimonial. I went to a doctor years ago and used female hormones and testosterone blockers for one year and there were some gains but they were very small. I was told, "that would be it without breast implants." I surfed around on message boards and saw there were other ladies who also used Transfemme and got amazing results, the photos speak for themselves.
I also saw some other companies were promoting their businesses by trashing Transfemme and that and made me think, if these people spend their time attacking their competition they must have a lot to be worried about? Obviously Transfemme has been in business since 1996 and has the bulk of the market share that the newer companies are trying to steal. I think if you have a legitimate business you spend your time working on your customers and business.
I received a lot of moral support from the ladies who work at Transfemme, they went above and beyond helping me when I was down. This had nothing to do with their job duty, they actually became my friends because no one has to spend hours in personal dialog with a customer but they truly care about their customers, we are like a family.
The main difference I have seen using Transfemme pills and creams is female body fat distribution, bigger female breasts and areola and a soft, curvy all over body, my testosterone dropped and turned into estrogen. My skin also got softer too and I pass as being born female since I had vocal surgery done. Now I have a new life and new friends who accept me s the female I am and my old life is behind me"
I am a customer on the Transfemme Program and I would like to start off by saying, how amazing this is. When I took other breast enlargement and feminization supplements I couldn't understand why I wasn't getting the results I wanted? I got no results or extremely minimal results but not nearly what I am getting now using Transfemme.
I started searching the internet and doing intense research and came up with the site Transfemme. I called the number and spoke with a wonderful lady, Jules. Wow, Jules was so understanding and caring and listened while I shared my life story with her.
She helped answer all of my questions and told me how to get started and even helped me to stay in my budget. She really is an amazing lady to work with, take it from me I know.
I'm so happy to say the Transfemme products really have convinced me by 2000% that they are truly effective. Within my first 4 weeks I could already feel some tingling and soreness and sensitivity.
I called Jules and told her and she said these are just signs that the TF Program is starting to work. After some 3 months I had already gained 1/2 cup size.
I could see Fuller, Firmer, Rounder and I even have a slight Lift to my breasts that I never had before. After some 6 months I was even noticing that my hair was starting to grow.
If you see my first video my hair was so short but it is really growing fast. Jules said something about the hair follicles. You can also see my "body" photo where it shows not only that I have gained some weight, but it really shows off my curves, my hips, butt and thighs being larger.
I've never been so amazed by the BB Program. I can honestly say, at first, I never really thought that this would work, as I am sure you know we are all skeptic at first, seeing there are so many different products out there, but truly, this has been a blessing to me of what a wonderful program this has been and Jules helping me along with my progress and transformation.
Jules has been with me every step of the way and she still is. I'm not stopping the BB Program until I get to where I want to be. I'm just going to keep going and going and going.
I'm so blessed to have Transfemme as my family. Thank You for giving me the real woman I am today. I'm loving everything that's been changing my looks.
What is so wonderful is that I can walk proudly down my street and people are noticing my new curves and even commenting. Thank you Transfemme, you're truly a blessing that everyone should get started on.
What also is so wonderful is you bring us live support. I know there is no company that does this because I was on different products and did not get even one question answered. Most don't even have an email and if they do they don't bother to respond back.
Jules also has shared a lot of her own personal tips with me that have really proven to work for me, and others from what I have read. You won't be sorry that you got started. Look at me. I'm proof!"
Here at TransFemme®, Our main focus is Male Breast Enlargement for MTF Transgender ladies.
We call this Male to Female Gender Reassignment Through Epigenetic Changes Using TransFemme®.
Transgender MTF Transition seeking male to female, male breast enlargement and/or total feminization are faced with many difficulties in becoming feminine.
Using expensive and dangerous drugs to develop breasts can have many side effects and disappointing results;
Embarrassing doctor visits, public records of your personal medical history, as well as discrimination.
Many of our customers have already tried using hormones and drugs and their Male Breast Enlargement Results were not satisfactory.
Rather than go under the knife most t-girls opt for nonsurgical, natural male to female breast augmentation methods, with the goal of being as natural possible; who really wants to get natural breasts implants if they don't have to?
So how does Transfemme® work and how far can you go without having gender reassignment surgery?
Transfemme® is a three-part system and each part works independently of the other.
We combine three different mechanisms to get the maximum results for our Transfemme® members, with the following goals:
Over time we have developed biohacking techniques that improve how well our products work in any given individual based on their habits and diet, we only share this information with bonafide members.
You can be happy and feminine without undergoing a complete SRS, our customers report very satisfactory results and are easily able to tuck what little is left of the genitalia.
#1. Male to female breast enlargement pills that cause your body to use its natural testosterone production and aromatize it into estrogen…
….. resulting in female body attributes and blood tests showing lower testosterone and higher estrogen
We believe it is important for safety reasons to have your own natural, human estrogen in your body as opposed to estrogen derived from pregnant horse urine.
#2. MTF breast cream , this is applied topically and only works locally, it is designed to add estrogen to your breasts only and give your breasts a boost.
#3 Bountiful Breast® Cream , our clinically proven feminization cream adds feminine inches wherever it is applied.
You apply this sensual, 100% nontoxic cream to your herbal breasts, hips, thighs, and buttocks.
Young males in their 20's, to elderly men in their 80's; straight, gay and bisexual; transgender, cross dressers, gender fluid; married and single; lawyers, doctors, truck drivers, diplomats, insurance agents, former football players, fathers, military officers and many others feminize themselves. Some of our customers have a goal to grow breasts, others want to be completely feminized and some want to be shemales. There is no one type of person that wants to be more feminine. We're sure you've tried a lot of different herbal products that promise to do amazing things but then do not deliver. The truth is, forcing your male body to become a female body is not an easy feat! Transgender ladies spend tens of thousands of dollars or more becoming female. Now you can get better results with less cost and no serious risks. Transfemme® male breast pills deliver on that promise! Our customers develop full, lovely female breasts and are generally also able to eventually wear female jeans in addition to wearing larger bras and being rounder and fuller. Below are some of the effects that our customers have reported
Simply put, Transfemme® is better than using pharmaceutial drugs and causes permanent changes on an epigenetic level through reverse transcription; we have been helping male to female transgender ladies since 1996. Today's Tgirls seeking breast enhancement need new options for softer skin, less body hair, larger breasts, rounder hips and even male to female hormone modulation. Transfemme® utilizes a nutripotentized, protomorphogen therapy in the form of a breast pill, we also use two forms of male breast enlargement cream, one has estrogen in it and the other is clinically proven to work, even on the hips and thighs. Note that Transfemme is not a regular glandular sold in health food stores, this is why our customers have astounding results on Transfemme and tiny results when they try to put together their own pills, as some of our competitors suggest they do. In fact every bit of information written about this subject on other websites has been taken from our writing, none of these other websites understand what we are doing or why it works. Transfemme® is the best male breast enlargement pill available today and has been found to provide even better results for many non biological females than it does in biological females. Best of all TransFemme® is prescription free in the USA and most countries. It is best to use our product prior to having any surgery, as your testicles are your main source of estrogen through aromatization. Nothing beats having your own body produce it's own estrogen. Don't waste your time with an inferior herbal product, let the woman on the inside show on the outside by ordering Transfemme® today!

Security forces launch operation at Pak-Afghan border to monitor terrorist movement
According to a press release by Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), an operation has been launched along Pak-Afghan border to reinforce troops deployment in Rajgal valley to effectively check and guard against terrorists movement along high mountains and all weather passes in Khyber Agency.
It should be noted that infiltration of the terrorists through the border areas have been a point of concern for both Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The two countries in the past have blamed each other over terrorist incidents which have taken place in result of the infiltration of terrorist groups.
The busy Pak-Afghan Torkham border was closed for six days in June this year as deadly clashes took places between the border forces of the two countries.
A Pakistani official and three Afghan police officers had lost their lives in the exchange of fire between the border forces of the two countries.

We 'cracked open' our new Big Green Egg for its Inaugural Grill run over Memorial Day Weekend!! We chose Fresh Alaskan King Salmon to Cedar-Plank Grill... Even if you don't have a Big Green Egg - the marinade in the recipe was fantastic! and will test it out in oven and on smaller charcoal grill in the future...we did add just a touch of brown sugar to the marinade and added a few fresh chunks of pineapple marinated in a bit of honey and brown sugar to the salmon on the grill. Enjoy ~ Diane
Cedar-Planked Salmon with Honey Glaze
Glaze Ingredients:
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup Dijon mustard
¼ cup honey
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme plus extra for garnish
2 pinches of brown sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Pineapple chunks, soaked in a bit of honey and brown sugar, if preferred
4 (7-ounce) salmon fillets, skin on
Equipment: 2 cedar planks
Set the EGG for direct cooking.
Preheat the EGG to 400°F
Place the cedar planks in a pan, cover with water, and let soak for 1 hour.
Whisk the mustard, honey, balsamic vinegar, orange zest, and 1 teaspoon thyme together in a small bowl.
Place the cedar planks on the grid, close the lid of the EGG, and preheat for 3 minutes. Open the lid and turn the planks over, brush them with the olive oil, and place 2 salmon fillets on each plank. Season the salmon with salt and pepper and brush generously with the honey glaze. Close the lid of the EGG. Cook the salmon for 12 to 15 minutes for medium.
Remove from the heat, garnish with thyme, and serve immediately.
Serves 4

I'm hoping this #Salmon can be cooked on a "regular" BBQ Grill with a lid. I don't want to wait till I have an EGG! Thanks for sharing at #theWeekendSocial. Hope to see you again this Thursday at 9:00 PM EST. I'm off to pin your link.

Academic journal article Historical Journal of Massachusetts
Voices of a People's History of the United States
Article excerpt
Howard Zinn and Anthony Amove, ed., Voices of a People's History of the United States, Seven Stories Press, New York, 2005.
Howard Zinn and Anthony Amove have edited a first-class reader to go along with Zinn's earlier narrative, A People's History of the United States, which was first published in 1980. This reader is an excellent collection of primary source documents drawn from diaries, songs, poems, speeches, letters to the editor, testimony before Congress, official investigations of disasters, etc., that for the most part have not gotten into the official versions of what has happened in America's past.
Zinn, the principal author, does not hide his perspective. In fact, he openly announces it in a stirring introduction:
When I began work, five years ago, on what would become the present volume, Voices of a People's History of the United States, I wanted the voices of struggle, mostly absent from our history books, to be given the place they deserve. I wanted labor history, which has been the battleground, decade after decade, century after century, of an ongoing fight for human dignity, to come to the fore. Arid I wanted my readers to experience how at key moments in our history some of the bravest and most effective political acts were the sounds of the human voice itself.
To omit or to minimize these voices of resistance is to create the idea that power only rests with those who have the guns, who possess the wealth, who own the newspapers and the television stations. I want to point out that people who seem to have no power, whether working people, people of color, or women - once they organize and protest and create movements - have a voice no government can suppress. …

December is here, which means time to get in the Christmas spirit. I personally do not go mad over the holiday with decorations or any kind of religious connections, but I do exploit it as a time of giving and receiving. That is why when I came across this video, it really got me in the festive mood.
The group "Improv Everywhere" is a based in New York City and is a "prank collective that causes scenes of chaos and joy in public places." It was created in 2001 and has executed over 100 "missions" involving thousands and thousands of "undercover agents". I think the idea is marvelous and never fails to put a smile on my face. I think I've seen them all... Brilliant stuff.

In a rather strange revelation, it has come to light that Verizon has left the cellular networks of the LG G2 unlocked, allowing T-Mobile and AT&T SIM card holders to access HSPA+ networks on the smartphone without much fuss. Verizon is a company known for its stringent rules and regulations, so this has come as a surprise to the most of us. Verizon smartphones usually give users the freedom to access GSM networks when on international roaming, but the ability to access domestic networks is rather unheard of. So we're not really sure at this point if this is deliberate or merely one of those rare and fortunate mistakes.
To try this out themselves, users basically have to remove the existing Verizon micro SIM card from the slot and insert an AT&T or T-Mobile micro SIM. After the phone reboots, users will have to navigate over to Settings, Tethering and Network, Mobile Networks, System Select and make sure the GSM/UMTS option is checked. After this, head over to the Access Points and enter APN details manually for your T-Mobile or AT&T SIM and you're good to go after another reboot. This procedure could come in handy for people looking to hand over their Verizon LG G2 temporarily to a friend or a family member. We're not sure if this feature will be up for long as it could be blocked by a software update from Verizon.

ESPN Commentator Fired After Questioning RG3's Blackness
ESPN President Mike Soltys announced that the sports network would not renew its contract with football commentator Rob Parker after Parker said Washington Redskins Quarterback Robert Griffin III was "kind of Black" but not really on national television.
Soltys tweeted Tuesday, "Rob Parker's contract expired at year end. Evaluating our needs and his work, including his recent RGIII comments, we decided not to renew."
Parker, an African-American, shocked many when he took issue with the beloved Christian athlete's race. He told follow commentators that people were talking about Griffin in barbershops, and if given the chance, he would ask Griffin he considered himself a brother.
"Is he a brother or is he a cornball brother? He's not real. OK, he's black, he kind of does the thing, but he's not really down with the cause. He's not one of us. He's kind of black but he's not really, like, the guy you want to hang out with because he's off to something else," he opined.
Parker went on to state that though Griffin had braids which he considered "urban," Griffin is engaged to a white woman and is reportedly a Republican. Parker also took issue with some of Griffin's statements about race.
Griffin has previously said "I am an African-American in America. That will never change. But I don't have to be defined by that." Griffin, commonly referred to as RG3, also stated that he didn't just want to be a great African-American quarterback but a great quarterback in general.
Fellow commentators were visibly uneasy with Parker's remarks about race.
Sports journalist Stephen A. Smith, also African-American, chimed in, "I'm uncomfortable with where we just went. RG3, the ethicity, the color of his fiance is none of our business."
CBS News commentator and former NFL player Ephraim Salaam apologized for Parker's remarks and publically denounced him as someone who has "lost touch with what century it is."
Parker tried to explain his comments, "I wasn't saying that he wasn't black enough. When people say that, it's just not true. I was saying these are the conversations that take place once a guy pushes away. So it was never aimed at him or I was calling him that, I'm saying these are the conversations that take place."
Still Parker was suspended for 30 days following comments prior to the decision to release him from his contract.
Here is a video of Parker's remarks.
Here is the video of Salaam's response.

text: My wife is excited to hear that the new cars will have lane holding, adaptive cruise control, etc. since she is very nervous that I don't seem to do a good job of staying in the lane and sometimes don't see traffic stopping ahead. (She is probably right.) I'm thinking that is you have the lane holding and ACC that you wouldn't need to keep your hands on the steering wheel (in fact, it might interfere with the lane control). When I mentioned this to my wife, she was adamant that under no circumstances would she allow me to take my hands off the steering wheel. (I do this occasionally now to talk with my hands and it drives her crazy.) So... what do you think? Will you be able to take your hands off the steering? Should you take your hands off the steering? Will leaving your hands on the steering interfere with the lane holding?

You are viewing an Email identified as a Scam, It has the Subject "URGENT REPLY." and it was received in one of Scamdex's honeypot email accounts on Fri, 26 Aug 2011 13:45:29 -0700 and has been classified as a Generic Scam. The sender was "Dr.Karim Asad" <email@example.com>, although that address was probably spoofed. It is recommended that you do not attempt to contact any persons or organizations referenced in this email, as you will expose yourself to scammers and, at the very least, you will be added to their email address lists for spam purposes.
Dear Friend,
I am the manager of auditing and accounting department African Development Bank (A.D.B). I got your address in Burkina Faso chamber of commerce through yahoo details. In my department i discovered an abandoned sum of $25.2m (Twenty five million two hundred thousand dollars). In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in a concord plane crash in the year 2004 in Paris that almost took the whole life of the passengers on board. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I and now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and i don't want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill. The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after six years, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury account as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkina be cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
We agree that 40% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 50% would be for me. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location
where the money will be remitted upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the letter of demand for you to apply for the claim immediately.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer. You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately
Yours faithfully
Dr.Karim Asad
Auditing and accounting manager A.D.B bank

Like every parent, I sometimes battle with controlling the tantrums thrown by the little ones.
I read online about an occupational therapy technique using 'Calm' Bottles as a tool for helping children self regulate those uncontrollable meltdowns. Of course, I decided to try it out, as naughty corners and scoldings are not always effective (plus they look pretty).Best of all, I employed child labour for the task and got Noodle to do most of the work in making the bottle.
I bought two little bottles of Drink-o-pop Kid-O cool drink (the type of thing I typically do not let my kids drink, but I liked the size and shape of the bottle for this task and wanted plastic bottles for this purpose to avoid damage by angry kids). I have seen glass jars used, but would strongly recommend plastic for children. Once the contents of the bottles were decanted, this is how we made it:
- We squeezed a few tubes of glitter glue at the bottom of the bottle.
- We poured in a full bottle of glitter. I also added some other random sparkly bits.
- We added hot, but not boiling water, adding more water or glitter depending on the consistency desired. The difference in viscosity between the water and the glue create a beautiful swirly effect.
- We added a few drops of purple food colouring and gave everything a good stir.
- I glued the jar lid on with superglue (as we do not want little hands spilling glue and glitter everywhere).
- Some ribbons and sparkles were added for good measure.
The idea is that when the little ones throw tantrums they get a time out until the glitter settles to the bottom of the bottle. If they shake it, it will take longer so they have to stay still. In the meantime, the pretty swirly colours will mesmerize them into a mysical trance of calmness. Squish is still a little young for time outs but I have used the technique very successfully with Noodle, who calms down seconds after I hand her the bottle even through the worst tantrums.

National Association of State Boards of Accountancy
David A. Costello, CPA
November 25, 2002
U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission
Re: File No. S7-39-02
Dear Commissioners:
The National Association of State Boards of Accountancy appreciates the opportunity to review and comment on the Securities and Exchange Commission's Proposed Rule: Improper Influence on Conduct of Audits. Many reforms have been included in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and we look forward to reviewing the rules the SEC develops in accordance with those changes. We submit for your consideration the following remarks, as recommended by the NASBA Litigation Response and Assistance Committee, keyed to the questions posed in the SEC's exposure document RIN 3235-AI67:
Should we amend the definition of "officer" in rule 3b-2 to include specific references to additional individuals and entities who may perform "corresponding functions"?
The definition of "officer" and "director" should continue to include person or persons who normally perform duties of an officer or director whether elected or "defacto." The definition should include persons who normally have the responsibility for governance of an entity (see proxy rules for appropriate language).
Should we define by rule the scope of "any other person acting under the direction" of an officer or director?
The prohibition should pertain to the individuals described in the SEC comments, as well as any entity whose operating, financial, or accounting policies can be controlled (as defined by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for consolidation purposes) by any such officer or director or by two or more such officers or directors. If there is sufficient authority for the SEC to do so, the scope of the prohibition could also include officers, directors and agents of subsidiaries and affiliates. The issuer's internal auditors should be expressly referenced in the rules.
Should the types of conduct that might constitute actions to fraudulently influence an auditor be set forth in the rule?
If types of conduct are to be set forth, then the language should make it clear that the types specified are not all inclusive.
Should we define by rule the phrase "independent public or certified public accountant"?
Since a licensed individual may still use the title "CPA" while providing non-attest services without being independent, a rule differentiating "independent public or certified public accountant" would be helpful. It should also be reiterated that any such independent public or certified public accountant must be one who is "licensed by a state board of accountancy."
Is subparagraph (b)(2) of the proposed rule helpful or necessary?
The provision is helpful and should be retained.
Should we replace the statement in subparagraphs (b)(1) and (c)....?
It is better to add "on behalf of." And add "or in collusion with."
Should the word "fraudulently" in subparagraphs (b)(1) and (c)(2) be replaced with the word "improperly" or some other word to convey a mental state short of scienter?
If there is a clear standard that differentiates "improperly" from "fraudulently" then "improperly" might be better. In most states (as well as under federal law), the term "improper" is broader and includes not only "fraud" but also "deceptive" and coercive conduct which would be intentional and harmful to the public even though it did not technically constitute fraud. On the other hand, the rules must permit an honest open discussion when differences of opinion on accounting principles or auditing procedures occur between the issuer and the accounting firm. An officer or director could have an opinion different from the auditor's. A strong advocacy for the issuer's position should not be automatically considered an attempt to "improperly influence."
Should the phrase in subparagraphs (b)(1) and (c)(2) that "if the person knew or was unreasonable in not knowing that such action could, if successful, result in rendering such financial statements materially misleading" be replaced....?
Other securities laws state "knew or should have known" and that language is preferable.
Is it necessary or appropriate to expressly extend the prohibition on improper influence on the conduct of audits, and existing rule 13b2-2, to officers and directors of the investment company's service providers? If so, which service providers should be covered?
The rule should be retained as written
We request comment on whether it is feasible to further clarify, consolidate, or simplify the proposed rules for small entities.
Special rules are not necessary for small entities if "person or persons acting in the capacity of an officer or director" is included (see response to first question).
As noted in the cost-benefit section, if section 303 of the Act and the proposed rules leads to increased investor confidence in financial reporting, they also may facilitate capital formation. We request comment on these matters in connection with our proposed rules.
We agree that the cost of compliance (as well as the cost of enforcement) can be minimized, especially if communication, cooperation, consistency and substantive input among federal and state regulators are enhanced.
While the Commission has issued many exposure drafts over the years, to increase the transparency of the process and encourage input from interested parties, it would be very helpful if the SEC staff numbered the questions posed. This would be helpful to those who want to respond in a timely, useful manner, and to the SEC in interpreting those remarks.
We thank you for your consideration of our comments and hope they have been of some help.
c: NASBA Litigation Response and Assistance Committee

This was a medical malpractice case.
It involved a plastic surgeon.
The patient felt that her plastic surgeon destroyed her eyelids during a procedure known as a blepharoplasty.
The patient felt her doctor was careless.
She felt her doctor caused her injuries.
Fast forward six months.
I had an opportunity to obtain all of her medical records and have them reviewed by a board certified plastic surgeon.
My medical expert confirmed that the patient's doctor violated the basic standards of medical care.
My medical expert confirmed that her doctor's carelessness was a cause of her injuries.
That medical expert evaluation allowed me to start a lawsuit against this plastic surgeon.
You should know that in New York, we are required to have a medical expert confirm
If any of those elements is missing, we cannot proceed with a valid case.
During the course of a medical malpractice lawsuit, each side has an opportunity to question the people who are involved in the lawsuit.
This is known as discovery.
The defense lawyer will question my client.
This is a legal procedure known as a deposition.
There's no judge present.
There is no jury present.
However, there is a court stenographer present to record all of the questions being asked and all of the answers given by my client.
Even though this question and answer session takes place in an informal setting, the witness' answers carry the same exact weight as if they're testifying at trial.
When I question the doctor whom you have sued, this takes place in the defense lawyer's office.
Again, there is no judge present and no jury present.
The defense lawyer is present along with his client a court stenographer.
From the moment we started, I knew this would be an unusual deposition.
He came in with a cocky, arrogant grin on his face.
He came in almost an hour late from our scheduled start time.
He looked like he just crawled in after working out at the gym.
Typically, a physician who appears for his pretrial testimony is often wearing a suit and tie. He wants to give the impression that he's a true professional.
That's highly unusual for a plastic surgeon.
Most plastic surgeons are impeccably dressed.
As part of my agenda when I question a doctor during a medical malpractice deposition, I need to establish the basic standards of medical care for a patient in the same situation.
A doctor who is being sued in New York is deemed to be a medical expert.
I am permitted to ask the doctor about his knowledge of medicine and his understanding of the standards of care.
Since he is technically a medical expert, I can also treat him as a hostile witness and ask leading questions.
Typically, when I question a doctor at his deposition I will often ask open-ended questions in an attempt to get the doctor to explain.
"Dr. Jones, tell us what you did next..."
"Doctor, what was your differential diagnosis after you evaluated my client?"
In addition to learning whether the doctor has an ample knowledgg of medicine for this particular subject, I'm also permitted to ask him expert opinion questions.
That means I can ask him whether he violated the basic standards of medical care.
You might think that would be a silly question.
The reality is that it's not a silly question when phrased properly.
The opinion questions typically start with a hypothetical question...
"Dr. Jones, I want you to assume the following facts to be true...
"Would you agree that a doctor who failed to discuss with a patient the risks, benefits & alternatives to this proposed surgery would be a violation from the basic standards of medical care?
He has to say "Yes."
That's an obvious question.
Want to know why?
It's because every doctor is tasked with informing his patient about the risks, benefits and alternatives of any recommended surgery or treatment. Otherwise, the patient is left without the benefit of making an educated decision about the best course of treatment for him.
"Doctor, would you agree that it's important to do a thorough physical examination of her eyelids and her face?"
"Would you also agree that when doing a physical examination of her eyes and eyelids, it would be important to know the approximate amount of eyelid tissue that would be removed in order to perform this blepharoplasty?"
"Would you agree. that when performing a blepharoplasty procedure, it is critical that you not remove excessive amounts of tissue or muscle?"
"Tell me why."
"Would you agree, that in a patient who is left with an inability to close her eyelids to only two thirds of the way closed, in the absence of any structural abnormalities, the only way this could occur is from removing too much tissue or muscle?"
My goal here is to get the doctor to tell me in his own words what good medical practice required for this situation.
Then, I will contrast that with the appropriate standard of care and what was done in this particular case.
You should know that most doctors are very hesitant to actually admit that something they did violated the basic standard of medical care causing the patient harm.
You should also know that the best trial attorneys in New York don't come right out and simply aske the doctor whether he screwed up.
That's not a good technique.
The doctor will only get defensive and argue that he did everything correctly.
Let me bring you now to the doctor's deposition that was being done in his attorneys office.
The doctor was mocking me throughout much of my questioning.
He repeatedly turned to his attorney asking loudly whether he had to answer my questions.
This doctor was antagonistic.
He was condescending.
I love that type of witness.
I knew immediately that a jury would hate him.
He was not warm and fuzzy.
He did not seem like the ideal, altruistic, lovable doctor we often see on TV or in the movies.
After about an hour of questioning, I started to launch into my standard of care questions.
He immediately became offended and asked his attorney whether he had to answer such demeaning questions.
I asked him to explain to me what were the 12 cranial nerves.
This is something a medical student should immediately know.
Again, this is something he should know without having to think about it.
Apparently, he claimed to have done this procedure thousands of times before.
After getting past the basic medical definitions, it was clear to me that he had a fair understanding of the anatomy and the basic medicine.
You would be surprised to learn that when I question a doctor, many of them simply cannot tell me the anatomical structures for which they are a specialist in.
Here's where it began to get interesting...
The moment I began asking this plastic surgeon to explain what the standard of care required for a patient with these types of complaints, he started having his temper tantrum.
He started screaming.
He started yelling.
"How dare you question me! Who are you to question what I did and how I did it?"
The volume level was extremely high.
I put my pen down and sat back in my chair knowing he was about to go on a tirade.
I had seen this before.
From my standpoint, as an attorney representing the injured patient, this was wonderful.
This was fantastic!
It meant I was doing everything right.
It meant I've just pushed his buttons.
It meant I've now exposed his vulnerability.
I think he was really insecure that someone was questioning what he did.
Any time I've seen a doctor react so outrageously to being questioned is simply a 'tell' that gives away his true actions.
He continued yelling.
He continued screaming.
This was great.
I made sure the court reporter was recording all of this.
However you should know, this was not an audio or video recording.
The court reporter was transcribing all of my questions and all of the doctors answers. That later gets put into a transcript.
This transcript does not give a true indication of what it's like to be sitting in front of this ranting doctor.
I was smiling inside.
I knew that by questioning this doctor's credentials and his ability to perform this procedure properly, he would become so outraged that his true colors would come out, as it did here.
The doctor worked himself up so much that he finally stood up, threw down his papers on the table and stormed out of the conference room as if he were two-year-old child.
His attorney didn't know what to do.
His attorney did a double-take wondering what just happened.
Realizing there was nothing else for him to do, he sheepishly ran out of the room to follow his client.
She said "In more than 20 years of doing this, I've never seen a doctor do what he just did!"
I asked her something interesting at that point.
I asked her that if she were a juror at trial sitting on this case, what would she think of the doctor now?
She said "I would think that he is 100% responsible for your client's injuries. I would think that he was trying to hide something and that would explain his tantrums."
Fifteen minutes later, the doctor's lawyer came back in the conference room with his client to tell me that they were ready to continue.
I was tempted to ask him to get his client to apologize for his obnoxious tantrum.
Had I done that, I fully expected the doctor to run out of the office, never to return.
Besides, I didn't care about an apology.
I continued on for another two hours of questioning him.
There were no other childish tantrums.
I knew, after questioning this board certified plastic surgeon, that this case would never get to trial.
The doctor was not safe enough to go in front of a jury.
He was a wild card and could not be controlled by his own lawyer.
If he ever testified, he'd sink his own case.
Two months after I questioned this cocky, arrogant plastic surgeon, I learned that the New York State Department of Health revoked his license to practice medicine. Permanently.
They felt that he was an imminent danger to the public and yanked his license to practice.
It turns out that he had been sued by more than ten of his patients in a short period of time.
The Department of Health got wind of it and investigated him for quite a while.
The defense attorney put on a brave showing and claimed he could still try the case even though his client lost his medical license.
I knew he was full of it.
So did he.
The case never got to trial.
It was settled soon after.

Intersting question. Ran some Google and Bing searches and found nothing, but that doesn't mean there isn't a way. Can say this; I cannot figure out how, though it is a great idea.
The only real problem is the size of some of the applications you mention, they along with the OS probably wouldn't fix on a single DVD.
