How is Dysport treatment given?
Dysport is given by a specialist…and treatment is based on your individual needs
Here's what may happen during a typical office visit:
- Dysport is given as an injection into your affected muscles
- Depending on how many muscles are affected, your doctor may give you injections in a few different muscles or change the location of injections
- Your doctor may tailor the amount of injections or dose of Dysport to your individual needs
About Treatment Sessions
In a clinical trial, most patients needed treatment again between 3 and 4 months. Some had a longer response and were treated again at 5 months.
After you have an injection of Dysport, the effects of treatment will lessen over the next several weeks. Because Dysport injection therapy is not a cure, another treatment session will be needed to reduce the muscle stiffness again.
Treatment with Dysport can be repeated when the benefits from the previous treatment have decreased, but there should be at least 12 weeks between treatments. Your doctor will decide when you are ready for another Dysport treatment session.
The most important information you should know about Dysport
Dysport may cause serious side effects that can be life threatening, including problems breathing or swallowing, or spread of toxin effects. These problems can happen within hours or days to weeks after an injection of Dysport. Death can happen as a complication if you have severe problems with swallowing or breathing after treatment with Dysport.
Common side effects
The most common side effects of Dysport in adults with upper limb spasticity include: urinary tract infection, muscle weakness, musculoskeletal pain, fall, depression, stuffy or runny nose and sore throat, and dizziness.
The most common side effects of Dysport in adults with lower limb spasticity include: muscle weakness, pain in arms or legs, and fall.
Talk to your doctor if you have any side effects. For more information about the possible side effects, ask your doctor.
What is the most important information I should know about Dysport?
Dysport may cause serious side effects, including problems breathing or swallowing and/or spread of toxin effects, that can be life threatening and death can happen as a complication. These problems can happen within hours, or days to weeks after an injection of Dysport.
- Problems swallowing, breathing, or speaking. Treatment with Dysport can result in swallowing or breathing problems. People with pre-existing swallowing or breathing problems may be at greater risk following treatment with Dysport. Swallowing problems may last for several weeks; you may need a feeding tube to receive food or water. If swallowing problems are severe, food or liquids may go into your lungs.
- Spread of toxin effects. The effects of botulinum toxin may affect areas of the body away from the injection site and cause symptoms of a serious condition called botulism which include: loss of strength and muscle weakness all over the body, double or blurred vision, and drooping eyelids, hoarseness or change or loss of voice, trouble saying words clearly, loss of bladder control, and trouble breathing or swallowing. The risk of these symptoms is probably greatest in children treated for spasticity. These problems could make it unsafe for you to drive a car, operate machinery, or do other dangerous activities.
Call your doctor or get medical help right away if you experience these problems after treatment with Dysport.
Do not receive a Dysport injection if: you are allergic to Dysport or any of its ingredients, or cow's milk protein; you had an allergic reaction to any other botulinum toxin product, such as Myobloc®, Botox®, or Xeomin®; or you have a skin infection at the planned injection site.
Before you receive a Dysport injection tell your doctor:
- About all your medical conditions, including if you have a disease that affects your muscles and nerves (such as ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease [amyotrophic lateral sclerosis], myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome). You may be at increased risk of serious side effects, including difficulty swallowing or breathing.
- If you have or have had any of the following: a side effect from any botulinum toxin in the past; problems with breathing such as asthma or emphysema; swallowing; bleeding; diabetes; and slow heartbeat, or problems with your heart rate or rhythm.
- If you have plans to have surgery, had surgery on your face, have weakness of your forehead muscles (trouble raising your eyebrows), drooping eyelids, or any other change in the way your face normally looks.
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding or plan to become pregnant or breastfeed. It is not known if Dysport can harm your unborn baby or if it passes into breast milk.
- About all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Using Dysport with certain other medicines may cause serious side effects. Do not start any new medicines until you have told your doctor that you have received Dysport in the past.
Especially tell your doctor if you have received any other injections of botulinum toxin in the last four months or ever; Myobloc®, Botox®, or Xeomin® (exactly which ones); an antibiotic recently by injection; or if you take muscle relaxants; allergy, cold or sleep medicine.
Most Common Side effects of Dysport in:
- adults with upper limb spasticity include: urinary tract infection, muscle weakness, musculoskeletal pain, fall, depression, stuffy or runny nose and sore throat, and dizziness.
- adults with lower limb spasticity include: muscle weakness, pain in your arms or legs, and fall.
- people with cervical dystonia include: muscle weakness, dry mouth, feeling of tiredness, muscle pain, problems speaking, eye problems, difficulty swallowing, injection site pain, and headache.
- children (2 to 17 years of age) with lower limb spasticity include: upper respiratory infection, stuffy or runny nose and sore throat, flu, cough, and fever.
Tell your doctor if you have any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away. These are not all the possible side effects of Dysport. For more information, ask your doctor or pharmacist. You may report side effects to the FDA at www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
What is Dysport?
Dysport is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to treat:
- cervical dystonia (CD) in adults
- increased muscle stiffness in adults with spasticity
- increased muscle stiffness in children 2 years of age and older with lower limb spasticity
It is not known whether Dysport is safe or effective in children under 2 years old for the treatment of lower limb spasticity; for treating other types of muscle spasms; or for treating cervical dystonia or upper limb spasticity in children under 18 years of age.

A specialist tour operator is a person who guides tourists through a particular region or area in a specific fashion or with a set itinerary. These tour operators focus on a specific experience they want the tourist to have, rather than simply taking them on a tour of various sites in a region. In order to become a specialist tour operator, you may want to complete at least a high school education and get a driver's license. Maintain a clean driving record, and obtain a commercial driver's license (CDL) in order to become a specialist tour operator capable of moving tourists on buses or other large vehicles.
No set level of education is necessary to become a specialist tour operator, but you will need to have an in-depth knowledge of a particular place or region, as you will be responsible for guiding and educating tourists throughout the length of the tour. You can work for a tour company or you can start one on your own; starting a business on your own is difficult and will require a significant amount of preparation and planning, so if you choose this option, you may want to consider taking a business planning course that will prepare you for the process.
Develop good communication skills and a keen interest in meeting new people. If you want to become a specialist tour operator, you will have to interact with a variety of people with different personalities, and you will need to put their comfort ahead of your own. Most importantly, you will need to be trained in first aid and CPR in order to qualify for a position as a specialist tour operator. Accidents can happen on tours, and you will be the first responder if such accidents should occur.
Learn as much as possible about the specialist tour you will be guiding. Some specialist tours, for example, focus on a specific experience — riding a bicycle through wine country in California, for example. Make sure you are both physically and mentally prepared to become a specialist tour operator, especially if the tour will require rigorous or consistent exercise. The tour operator on a bike tour through wine country will need to be prepared not only to teach tourists how to cycle properly and safely, but also how to enjoy the wineries and the scenery. The operator may need to be able to repair bicycles as well, and educate tourists on grapes, wines, and the winemaking process.

I'm an American living in France and am in constant contact with sports people - coaches, athletes, etc...- who would be interested in seeing how things are done in the US. I can see myself involved in the actual organization and guiding of, say, a group of coaches who would like to meet other coaches, see a game and installations, etc., but not necessarily starting a business to do it. I would like to get in contact with companies that might like to have my services. Any suggestions?
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

"It can start with a knock on the door one morning. It is the local Indian agent, or the parish priest, or, perhaps, a Mounted Police officer… The officials have arrived and the children must go."
So began the school experience of many Indigenous children in Canada for more than a hundred years, and so begins the history of residential schools prepared by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC).
Between 2008 and 2015, the TRC provided opportunities for individuals, families, and communities to share their experiences of residential schools and released several reports based on 7,000 Survivor statements and 5 million documents from government, churches, and schools, as well as a solid grounding in secondary sources.
A Knock on the Door, published in collaboration with the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR), gathers material from the TRC reports to present the essential history and legacy of residential schools and inform the journey to reconciliation that Canadians are now embarked upon. An afterword introduces the holdings and opportunities of the NCTR, home to the archive of recordings and documents collected by the TRC.
Survivor and former National Chief of the Assembly First Nations, Phil Fontaine, provides a Foreword, and an Afterword introduces the holdings and opportunities of the National Centre for Truth & Reconciliation, home to the archive of recordings, and documents collected by the TRC.
As Aimée Craft writes in the Afterword, knowing the historical backdrop of residential schooling and its legacy is essential to the work of reconciliation. In the past, agents of the Canadian state knocked on the doors of Indigenous families to take the children to school. Now, the Survivors have shared their truths and knocked back. It is time for Canadians to open the door to mutual understanding, respect, and reconciliation.
"The attempt to transform us failed. The true legacy of the survivors, then, will be the transformation of Canada." – Phil Fontaine, from the Foreword
"A Knock on the Door is a book that I hope every Canadian will read, and read deeply. The transformation of this country begins with acknowledging what happened after that knock on the door. Acknowledging, understanding the implications, and then resolving to do something for positive change. It's right that the TRC Calls to Action are included, for we are all called to action." – Shelagh Rogers, O.C., TRC Honorary Witness
"Seven volumes from a nationwide inquiry into the legacy of Canada's Indian Residential Schools have been condensed into a compelling book that is both accessible and well-documented. The central conclusion—that the schools were part of a deliberate cultural genocide policy aimed at the continent's first peoples, spearheaded by the Canadian government with the support of mainline churches —is clearly supported by historical references, gut-wrenching personal stories, and a thorough analysis of a system that forcibly removed indigenous children from their families." – Publishers Weekly
Educator Information
This book is recommended for grade 11 and 12 students for courses in social studies and social justice (also useful for college/university students in courses of a similar nature). This book is also a useful teacher resource.
Caution: physical and sexual abuse is discussed in this book.

In 2015, writer and journalist Paul Seesequasis found himself grappling with the devastating findings of Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission report on the residential school system. He sought understanding and inspiration in the stories of his mother, herself a residential school survivor. Gradually, Paul realized that another, mostly untold history existed alongside the official one: that of how Indigenous peoples and communities had held together during even the most difficult times. He embarked on a social media project to collect archival photos capturing everyday life in First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities from the 1920s through the 1970s. As he scoured archives and libraries, Paul uncovered a trove of candid images and began to post these on social media, where they sparked an extraordinary reaction. Friends and relatives of the individuals in the photographs commented online, and through this dialogue, rich histories came to light for the first time.
Blanket Toss Under Midnight Sun collects some of the most arresting images and stories from Paul's project. While many of the photographs live in public archives, most have never been shown to the people in the communities they represent. As such, Blanket Toss is not only an invaluable historical record, it is a meaningful act of reclamation, showing the ongoing resilience of Indigenous communities, past, present--and future.
"A revelatory work of astonishing grace, Blanket Toss Under Midnight Sun encapsulates an invisible generation brought to glorious life. So many times, the subject could have been my auntie, cousin or grandmother. When people ask why I live on the rez, I'll point them to this book, this stunning reclamation of narrative, which so movingly shows the love of place, community and self." —Eden Robinson
"Paul Seesequasis's Blanket Toss Under Midnight Sun is a wonderful collection of found photographs and recovered histories that link us to a past as old as the land and as precious as breath." —Thomas King, author of The Inconvenient Indian

Caribou Skin Clothing of the Iglulik Inuit outlines the various steps involved in the creation of traditional Inuit caribou skin clothing, namely the hunt, preparation, and sewing.
In addition to diagrams and practical instructions, this book is filled with historical information and insights from Elders of the Iglulik region.
Meticulously researched by former Arctic resident and anthropologist Sylvie Pharand, this book can be used as a practical guide to creating caribou skin clothing, as well as a general-interest text for those interested in traditional skin clothing.
"My name is Weetaltuk; Eddy Weetaltuk. My Eskimo tag name is E9-422." So begins From the "Tundra to the Trenches." Weetaltuk means "innocent eyes" in Inuktitut, but to the Canadian government, he was known as E9-422: E for Eskimo, 9 for his community, 422 to identify Eddy.
In 1951, Eddy decided to leave James Bay. Because Inuit weren't allowed to leave the North, he changed his name and used this new identity to enlist in the Canadian Forces: Edward Weetaltuk, E9-422, became Eddy Vital, SC-17515, and headed off to fight in the Korean War. In 1967, after fifteen years in the Canadian Forces, Eddy returned home. He worked with Inuit youth struggling with drug and alcohol addiction, and, in 1974, started writing his life's story. This compelling memoir traces an Inuk's experiences of world travel and military service. Looking back on his life, Weetaltuk wanted to show young Inuit that they can do and be what they choose.
"Endlessly interesting; an account of a traditional way of life now lost, a gripping first-hand account of a front-line soldier during the war, and an honest account of a young man's adventures and misadventures. It is to all our benefit that it has, at last, found its way into print." — Michael Melgaard, The National Post
"Tender, honest, and often raw, Weetaltuk's storytelling is masterful, engrossing, and deeply human. He has imbued his writing with a philosophical nuance that is characteristically Inuit: very subtle, yet profound." — Siku Allooloo, The Malahat Review
"Recounts the adventures of Inuk veteran Eddy Weetaltuk, from his early life in the North to his escape to the south under an assumed identity, to his enlistment in the Canadian Forces, which took him across the Canadian West, to Japan and Germany, and into battle in Korea. Adopting the name Eddy Vital was necessary in 1951 because the federal government restricted the movement of Inuit people. Through his alias, Weetaltuk was able to see the world; in the army, he experienced equality and respect – all the while never forgetting his true identity as an Inuk. The publication history of From the Tundra to the Trenches is itself a four-decades-long saga of many twists and turns. That it now finds English publication (after first appearing in French and German) owes to the author's conviction that his life story be read as a work of literature with the makings of a bestseller. Eddy Weetaltuk was right."— Jade Colbert, The Globe and Mail
"For those interested in Inuit culture it offers the rare and valuable perspective of an Inuk looking out from his culture at the world rather than the world looking in. " — P. T. Sherrill, CHOICE
Series Information
From the Tundra to the Trenches is the fourth book in the First Voices, First Texts series, which publishes lost or underappreciated texts by Indigenous writers. This new English edition of Eddy Weetaltuk's memoir includes a foreword and appendix by Thibault Martin and an introduction by Isabelle St-Amand.

In this second volume of In Those Days: Collected Writings on Arctic History, Kenn Harper shares the tales of murderers, thieves, and fraudsters--as well as the wrongfully accused--in the early days of Northern colonization. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, settler and Inuit ideas of justice clashed, leading to some of the most unusual trials and punishments in history.

In this third volume of In Those Days, Harper shares stories of the rise and fall of the whaling industry in the Eastern Canadian Arctic. At the turn of the nineteenth century, whale baleen and blubber were extremely valuable commodities, and so sailors braved the treacherous Arctic waters, risking starvation, scurvy, and death, to bring home the bounty of the North. The presence of these whalemen in the North would irrevocably alter the lives of Inuit.
Along with first-hand accounts from journals and dozens of rare, historical photographs, this collection includes the myth of the Octavius—a ship that drifted for twelve years with a frozen crew—encounters between sailors and Inuit, tales of the harrowing hazing rituals suffered by first-time crew members, and much more.

In this new collection, Kenn Harper shares tales of Inuit and Christian beliefs and how these came to coexist—and sometimes clash—in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. During this period, Anglican and Catholic missionaries came to the North to proselytize among the Inuit, with often unexpected and sometimes tragic results. This collection includes stories of shamans and priests, hymns and ajaja songs, and sealskin churches, drawing on first-hand accounts to show how Christianity changed life in the North in big and small ways. This volume also includes dozens of rare, historical photographs.

Traditionally, Inuit do not call each other by their given names. Instead, they refer to each other using a system of kinship and family terms, known as tuqurausiit (turk-thlo-raw-seet). Calling each other by kinship terms is a way to show respect and foster closeness within families. Children were named after their elders and ancestors, ensuring a long and healthy life.
As more and more Inuit refer to each other by their English first names, rather than their traditional kinship terms, the tradition of tuqurausiit is slowly disappearing. This book presents interviews with four Inuit elders from Baffin Region, Nunavut, about how names were chosen, the importance of using kinship terms, and how the practice of tuqurausiit has changed over the years. Inuit Kinship and Naming Customs helps to preserve the knowledge of this tradition for younger generations, both Inuit and non-Inuit.
Through the voices of Inuit elders, this book is a critical and cultural-historical engagement with the traditional concepts of tirigusuusiit, piqujait, and maligait.
These three concepts refer to what had to be followed, done, or not done in Inuit culture. Although these terms are now often used as equivalents to modern Western notions of law, this work examines how Inuit and Western concepts of law derive from completely different cultural perspectives. Through the guiding concepts of maligait, piqujait, and tirigusuusiit, this book transcends discussions of law, examining how these Inuit concepts are embedded in social and cosmic relationships.
This unique book examines these challenging concepts through the knowledge and stories of Inuit elders and evokes a unique experience whereby Western knowledge—embodied in the participating scholars—works to describe and understand Inuit knowledge and models of traditional law. This is a new and updated edition of Interviewing Inuit Elders Vol. 2: Perspectives on Traditional Law.
Contributing Elders: Mariano Aupilaarjuk, Marie Tulimaaq, Akisu Joamie, Émile Imaruittuq, and Lucassie Nutaraaluk.

The small island of Igloolik lies between the Melville Peninsula and Baffin Island at the northern end of Hudson Bay north of the Arctic Circle. It has fascinated many in the Western world since 1824, when a London publisher printed the narratives by William Parry and his second-in-command, George Lyon, about their two years spent looking for the mythical Northwest Passage.
Nearly a hundred and fifty years later, Bernard Saladin d'Anglure arrived in Igloolik, hoping to complete the study he had been conducting for nearly six months in Arctic Quebec (present-day Nunavik). He was supposed to spend a month on Igloolik, but on his first morning there, Saladin d'Anglure met the elders Ujarak and Iqallijuq. He learned that they had been informants for Knud Rasmussen in 1922. Moreover, they had spent most of their lives in the camps and fully remembered the pre-Christian period.
Ujarak and Iqallijuq soon became Saladin d'Anglure's friends and initiated him into the symbolism, myths, beliefs, and ancestral rules of the local Inuit. With them and their families, Saladin d'Anglure would work for thirty years, gathering the oral traditions of their people.
First published in French in 2006, Inuit Stories of Being and Rebirth contains an in-depth, paragraph-by-paragraph analysis of stories on womb memories, birth, namesaking, and reincarnation. This new English edition introduces this material to a broader audience and contains a new afterword by Saladin d'Anglure.

Itee Pootoogook belonged to a new generation of Inuit artists who are transforming and reshaping the creative traditions that were successfully pioneered by their parents and grandparents in the second half of the 20th century.
Itee Pootoogook (1951-2014) was part of a generation, including most famously his cousin Annie Pootoogook, that transformed the creative traditions of Inuit art.
A meticulous draughtsman who worked with graphite and coloured pencil, Itee depicted buildings in Kinngait that incorporated a perspectival view, a relatively recent practice influenced by his training as a carpenter and his interest in photography. His portraits of acquaintances and family members similarly bear witness to the contemporary North. Whether he depicts them at work or resting, his subjects are engaged in a range of activities from preparing carcasses brought in from hunting to playing music or contemplating the landscape of the North.
Itee was also an inventive landscapist. Many of his finest Arctic scenes emphasize the open horizon that separates land from sky and the ever-shifting colours of the Arctic. Rendering the variable light of the landscape with precision, he brought a level of attention that contributed, over time, to his style.
Featuring more than 100 images and essays by curators, art historians, and contemporary artists, Itee Pootoogook: Hymns to Silence celebrates the creative spirit of an innovative artist. It is the first publication devoted exclusively to his art.

And because I haven't really figured out a way to organise all of my upcoming food posts, we'll go with a little update from my room first (and seriously, I had that planned for two weeks now, so it might just be the time for that as well!)
Well, that was yesterday. Today I'm all sore and beaten up from my martial arts training (but it sure is fun!!) and just about to start with my Portuguese. (After I cleaned up the room and the kitchen. AND! had the first coffee with my extraordinary amazing coffee machine!!!)
And because I know you're all just as stoked about that as I am...here is even a little video about it! Ha!
(This can also be found on my instagram account)
And now, look at this beauty of a first coffee (and that cute anthropology mug!!! Still in love with it)!
Ok. Now since we have cleared that, I actually have something else to talk about.
As promised my room would change quite a bit after my first update all the way back when I moved in here.
So now, even though they are still going to be smaller changes, I feel pretty confident that this is "my" room for the next time. And because I'm such a nice person (over enthusiastic cough) I'm not just going to share my coffee with you, but also this little room update ;) (careful photo overload!):
|The general "first" impression
|Lots and lots of greens...but the amount is probably only cause by my knowledge that in two month...only half of it will still be there. My and my so not green thumb. Sight.
|I printed some of the prints from my pinterest board (this one) in exchange for some of the picture, which got removed. I really like this one! (Link)
|The inspiration for that "stick lamp" comes from the "COUCH" magazine (which I love!) If you would write a tutorial for it, it would pretty much be: Grab a stick from the woods, carry it home, wrap your lamp around it. And you're done!!!! (well, the really weird part is carrying those sticks out of the wood and home. You should have seen the stares I got. Haha, well I guess I don't mind breaking up their daily boring routine a bit ;) )
|I like F's....friends, family, food, France, fun, favourite, fearless....
It feels more and more like home. And with that I'm off to learn more Portuguese words and head into an amazing weekend afterwards, seeing one of my best best best best friends for the first time after my move. Yay! ;D

A summer internship is an opportunity to test drive a career without making any serious commitments. It's your chance to see what it would
really be like to work in a particular industry, and whether you're a great fit.
And, perhaps most importantly, a good internship provides you with experiences, lessons, and tools you'll need to get a full-time gig in the future.
Here are a few examples of things you can take away from an internship that may help you land a job down the road:
1. New/improved skills
One of the most important things you can take away from an internship is your new found knowledge, which includes knowing how to fulfil tasks relevant to your desired career path. Not only that, but you should have also spent time sharpening and honing the skills you already possessed.
"I always tell students to begin with the end in mind," says Ashley Strausser, the associate director and internship coordinator at the Center for Career and Professional Development at
Otterbein University. "
Having a sense of the skills and experiences you want to gain from an internship at the start allows you to be intentional in working towards your goals."
2. A more complete (and impressive) résumé
It's pretty obvious, but one of the best things about completing an internship is being able to add it to your résumé.
Don't just include the job title, company name, and all the the responsibilities you had — also highlight your contributions to the company and how you added value.
That's what hiring managers in the future will care about most. They don't really pay attention to the fancy company name or the fact that you "completed 10 big projects." They want to know how you managed to get those assignments done, the impact your work had on the company, any problems you solved, and your impact on the bottom line.
3. Recommendations
If you did a superb job and made a favourable impression on your manager and colleagues, you'll have no trouble coming up with references for future jobs you apply to. Just be sure to politely ask your boss or any coworkers who you made a great impression on if they'd be willing to recommend you for a job down the road. And then once that time comes, reach out to them again to get their permission.
You wouldn't want to assume they're still willing to be your reference. Plus, it's beneficial to everyone to give your former manager or colleague a heads up that a new potential employer will be calling, as to give them time to think about all the great things they want to say about you.
Also: Make an effort to maintain a relationship with each of these people. Don't just use them as references. Make them part of your network, and even consider asking one to be your mentor.
4. New connections
In addition to those people who you hope will act as references in the future, you should walk away from an internship with a handful of new connections: senior employees, clients, fellow interns, etc.
These people can provide guidance and advice, help you in future job searches, and may even become friends. But it's up to you to stay in touch with these connections, keep them in the loop on where you are in your career, and offer to help them whenever you can.
Upon finishing your internship, be sure to formally thank each of these people for their help and support.
To ensure you'll actually have people to thank and stay in touch with, you'll need to make an effort during the course of your internship to build relationships with people around the office. Strausser suggests joining the company's summer softball team, or inviting colleagues to lunch or coffee.
"Take the time to get to know as many people in the office as possible," says Kim Heitzenrater, the director of Career and Leadership Development at Sewanee: The University of the South.
"Ask for their knowledge and advice; learn everything that they can teach you. Then, say thanks and keep in touch."
5. A greater sense of professionalism
Working in an office environment (or any kind of professional setting) can be difficult to get used to — and the best (perhaps only) way to learn how to navigate the working world is through real life, hands-on experience. After your internship, you should have a better idea of the appropriate way to behave as a professional and a sense of how to play the game of office politics.
"For many students, an internship is their first exposure to a professional work setting," says Strausser. "Often students comment about how much they appreciated the opportunity observe workplace culture and see how professionals interact with one another and conduct themselves."
6. More confidence in your career direction
"An internship is an opportunity to test out a career field of interest," Strausser says. By the end of it, you should have a clearer idea of whether or not you really do want to enter that field or pursue that occupation.
Realising that it's actually not the right job for you isn't as terrible as it seems. Think about it: It's better to learn that you'd be unhappy sooner rather than later. Plus, if you come to this conclusion, you can spend the next few months exploring other areas of interest and jobs that might be a good fit, then you can begin working on securing an internship in that industry.
But you want to be 100% certain. "If this happens, take the opportunity to reflect on the experience and ask yourself: 'Why didn't I enjoy this internship?' 'Was there something that I could have changed or done differently?' Use that information as you assess your post-graduation plans," advises Strausser.
7. Completed projects/presentations/etc.
Besides new knowledge and better business etiquette, you should be able to walk away with tangible evidence of what you've accomplished. For example: presentations you gave, articles you wrote, campaigns you worked on, or designs you created.
Whenever possible, try to have some kind of physical or digital place to showcase your work to future potential employers. A portfolio or website, for instance, are ideal platforms.
8. Feedback
The best way to learn from your performance is to ask for feedback from those with whom you worked. Remember not to get defensive. If you actually listen to the constructive criticism and take it to heart, you'll be an even better employee in the future. And if you know what you're doing well, you can use those attributes to sell yourself as a strong candidate to employers later on.

I didn't blog about this last year so I thought I'd just put it in here. My parents hosted all of us for a family Valentine's dinner (and also offered nights of baby-sitting so the couples could go out later if we wanted!).
Isn't that cute how my sister-in-law cut the beets into hearts?
That girl is detailed with food I tell you. She has more patience than I in that area and I love that she does these special things.
Handsome fella
My parents provided meat and rolls and we all contributed red/Valentine's foods.
cutie button
pretty heart cookies that my mom made
My mom knows how to throw a party and the boys (well, all of us really) had so much fun!
Wish I had gotten more people pictures, especially of my other nephew Aaron so we could see how they've all grown in a year.
Are you doing anything special for Valentine's Day this year?

In a move to capture a piece of one of the most promising sectors of robotization, entrepreneur Elon Musk plans tomorrow evening to unveil a Tesla semi-truck, a prototype electric with self-driving technology. According to one estimate, its enormous battery could make it double the price of a standard diesel-propelled vehicle. But Musk has said he already has customers waiting for the vehicle.
The jobs impact: There are about 3.5 million truckers in the U.S., in addition to about 5 million workers in other parts of the industry. Many of those jobs are threatened in a future of autonomous freight transportation.

I reported on Gilded Brute aka Johnny Falx in early January. His bedroom recordings found their way to my ears and I felt in love with his sonic oasis. It was a smattering of is songs, nothing more but his blend of almost arena rock prowess demanded a more focused approach. Thankfully he has culled 9 songs into an album entitled "Byzantium Hounds."
Whether it is the fuzzy half step romance of If You'll Remember Me, the dissonant head banging of Thus Spoke The Coward or the progressive glammy rock of Sun Invincible he has single-handedly created songs that trade pretense for pure rock. Chainsaw Smile feels as much like gothic rock as it does dreamy noise post punk rock. I thought of Thurston Moore's current incarnation Chelsea Light Moving while losing myself in this track's the dense guitar sound. And when it comes to Gilded Brute, dense guitars is the name of the game.
Don't underestimate the sheer power of rock, of walls of guitars so loud that the sonic assault strips away all your pain, mounting bills, jaded love affairs, brow beating bosses until all that remains is rock heaven and you are the God with the golden guitar pic. Somewhere in Greece, Falx holds sway over his own rock dominion and he is the total creator. It can feel totally retro. When he sings "Flames, flames in the sky" in Flames in The Sky (of course) if you have not given yourself up to Falx's world, if you have not swallowed the Kool-Aid the tone could be considered somewhat kitschy in that Sam Flax vein and I don't mean that in any dismissive way. Flax's take on modern music like his 80's drenched Fire Doesn't Burn Itself is addictive. So much so it graces the Grand Theft Auto Soundtrack. Gilded Brute / Johnny Falx's music in a similar way feels purest retro. Both artists don't play it campy, they keep it real and at least in Falx's case the songs hold emotional weight.

USO Tour Sparks Excitement for Sailors in Spain
- Details

"I am thankful for those who wear the cloth to serve our nation and serve our country overseas," Winnefeld said.
The show kicked off with opening remarks from the naval station's commanding officer, Navy Capt. Scott Kraverath.
"I'm honored to have the opportunity to host such a distinguished group of individuals," he said. "Events like these are great for morale and show our service members that their hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed."
During the show, members of the tour thanked service members for the sacrifices and service to the country.
"I'm so honored to be a part of this [USO tour]," said Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Vincent Jackson. "This being our first stop, obviously you guys are very special, and I'm excited to be here. I'm a military brat. On the flight over, talking to these guys -- [Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning] and some of the other athletes and cheerleaders -- one way or another, we all seem to be related to someone in the military.
"Whether it's a grandfather or a niece or nephew, brother or sister-in-law, we all know somebody who has served in our military," he added. "For myself, it was my father."
Jackson talked about his experience moving overseas and experiencing the military life as his father served in the Army.
"I don't like to make a comparison to the military and football -- sports, even, because you guys are on the front lines," he said. "You're dealing with live ammunition, doing something extreme. You're protecting our freedom, creating world peace and we pretty much, on Sundays, entertain people for four hours."
However, he added, there are some parallels between the National Football League and the military.
"The leadership, the sacrifice, the communication you guys have, the training, the bonding, the unselfish mentality that you have to have to create a team atmosphere," Jackson said. "Just like a football team, we come from all walks of life. You work together, you train to accomplish that mission, you build bonds and relationships that last a lifetime. That's kind of what we do as athletes."
Four-time World Series pitcher Curt Schilling also spoke of his appreciation.
"'Thank you' doesn't even begin to describe what we think, what we feel and how we feel about you and your families," he said. "I grew up the son of an airborne paratrooper. My dad served in the 101st [Airborne Division] for 20 years.
Schilling noted that this tour is his second with the USO.
"The first one was eight days that I'll never forget. This one is starting out to be unforgettable as well," he said. "Thank you. To the families, I know there's a price to be paid in uniform and by the families. It's just apparent that ... when we walk away today, that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. We wish you nothing but the best."
Manning also expressed his appreciation for the commitment service members have for the country.
"Thanks from the bottom of my heart," he said. "The one thing that has always motivated me playing football is being accountable to my teammates. What's really driven me for the past 16 years playing football is being accountable, doing my job at the very best that I can to be accountable to help my teammates. I know that's exactly what you believe in, as it's really what the military is all about."
Manning and Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Austin Collie threw autographed footballs to service members in the audience.
After the performance, members had a chance to meet with Winnefeld and the entertainers for a photo and autograph session.
"This is my third time on a USO tour, and my first time here in Spain," said Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Jackie Bob. "I'm so thankful and honored for you all to come up here and see us. It's an honor for us to be able to say 'thank you' for those that serve us."

Week Ten is underway, and there are plenty of matchups to sort through. Let's get to it!
Week 10 NFL Matchups: Fantasy Football Analysis & Sit/Start
Seattle Seahawks @ Atlanta Falcons, Sunday 11/10, 1PM
Match-up We Love: Falcons DEF
Yes, you read that right, I like the Falcons defense this week. This is nothing more than a gut feeling, but I'm not impressed with the Seattle offense lately, and I'm not a fan of west coast teams playing in the east for a 1PM game. I don't think the Falcons will win, but I do think this ends up being a low scoring game, and that is a good start for a fantasy defense.
Analysis: If you need a defense, taking a shot on Atlanta this week is not crazy.
Match-up We Hate: Matt Ryan, QB
If you drafted Matt Ryan, hopefully you also have a solid back-up QB. Ryan is heading a sinking ship right now in Atlanta, as evidenced by his seven interceptions over his last two games. That's a bad trend, and even if Roddy White returns this week, Ryan will still be facing the best secondary in the NFL. There is nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, to like about this match-up.
Analysis: If you have to start Matt Ryan, temper your expectations. I'd sit him, and look for a better match-up elsewhere.
Key Injuries: Roddy White WR, ATL (questionable), Marshawn Lynch RB, SEA (probable), Percey Harvin WR, SEA (out)
Start 'Em: Russell Wilson, Marshawn Lynch, Golden Tate, Seahawks DEF, Matt Ryan, Steven Jackson, Harry Douglas, Tony Gonzalez, Falcons DEF
Oakland Raiders @ New York Giants Sunday 11/10, 1PM
Match-up We Love: Hakeem Nicks, WR
The Giants have been a disappointment this year, and that has trickled down to Hakeem Nicks' fantasy value. He still has been capable of big games, and has some huge upside. His match-up against a Raiders defense is very favorable, as they have given up the third-most fantasy points to wideouts this year. That could get worse as the team will be traveling cross country for a 1PM game.
Analysis: Consider Nicks a must start, and a candidate for a big game.
Match-up We Hate: Raiders DEF
It's easy to see a match-up against the lowly New York Giants, and play an opposing defense against them in fantasy this year, especially with the way that Eli Manning has turned the ball over. The offense can still move the ball through the air, and put up points, which can be bad news for a defense as well. The same reason we love Hakeem Nicks this week holds true for why we will be avoiding the Oakland defense too.
Analysis: Look for a better match-up elsewhere. Don't let the turnover prone Giants goat you into using the Raiders defense.
Key Injuries: Victor Cruz WR, NYG (probable), Brandon Jacob RB, NYG (doubtful), Juron Criner WR, OAK (out). Terrelle Pryor QB, OAK (probable)
Start 'Em: Eli Manning, Hakeem Nicks, Victor Cruz, Brandon Myers, Terrelle Pryor, Darren McFadden, Denarious Moore
Jacksonville Jaguars @ Tennessee Titans, Sunday 11/10, 1PM
Match-up We Love: Chris Johnson, RB
I've made no bones about my disdain for Chris Johnson in terms of this fantasy football season, but he's still a talented running back, who can put up RB1 numbers against favorable match-ups. That was evidenced by last week's thrashing of the Rams defense, and CJ2K easily had his best game of the season (150 rushing yards, 2 TD's). Match-ups don't get any better than the Jaguars, meaning Johnson could be in for another 20-plus fantasy point performance this week.
Analysis: Chris Johnson is a must start running back this week.
Match-up We Hate: Cecil Shorts, WR
With no Justin Blackmon, Cecil Shorts is once again the top receiving target in Jacksonville. While Shorts is still a useful fantasy option despite being a member of the Jaguars, he's a match-up play at best, and this is not the match-up to play him. The Titans defense is terrific, and they are especially tough on opponent's wideouts at home this year. At best, Shorts makes a low-end flex play this week.
Analysis: Leave Shorts on your bench this week unless you have no other options.
Key Injuries: Maurice Jones-Drew RB, JAX (probable), Cecil Shorts WR, JAX (probable), Michael Griffin S, TEN (questionable)
Start 'Em: Jake Locker, Chris Johnson, Nate Washington, Delanie Walker, Titans DEF, Maurice Jones-Drew, Cecil Shorts
Houston Texans @ Arizona Cardinals, Sunday 4:25PM
Match-up We Love: Garrett Graham, TE
The Texans tight end is still a free agent in many leagues, and if he's available in yours, you may want to pick him up for this week's match-up against the Cardinals. The Cardinals have an underrated defense, but they have been vulnerable to giving up numbers to opposing tight ends this year. Arizona has allowed over 700 receiving yards and 8 touchdowns to opposing tight ends this year, meaning Graham could be in for a big day.
Analysis: Garrett Graham is a must start this week.
Match-up We Hate: Carson Palmer, QB
I'll be the first to admit that i was wrong about Carson Palmer this year. I really felt he was a strong sleeper going into the season, and had plenty of weapons to throw to. Unfortunately, he's a guy that needs time to throw the ball, and the Arizona O-Line has given him little of that. The result has turned Carson Palmer into a turnover machine, and things look to get worse this week against a Houston defense that has been tough on opposing fantasy quarterbacks. A poor offensive line + JJ Watt= a long day for Carson Palmer.
Analysis: Sit Carson Palmer this week. I wouldn't even touch him as an injury or bye week fill in.
Key Injuries: John Abraham LB, AZ (probable), Rashard Mendenhall RB, AZ (probable), Arian Foster RB, HOU (out)
Start 'Em: Case Keenen, Ben Tate, Andre johnson, Garrett Graham, Texans DEF, Larry Fitzgerald, Michael Floyd, Andre Ellington, Cardinals DEF
St. Louis Rams @ Indianapolis Colts, Sunday 11/10, 1PM
Match-up We Love: Colts DEF
If you're in need of a defense this week, and the Titans are taken, you might want to give the Colts a try. They're currently owned in only 57 percent of Yahoo leagues, and have a very favorable match-up against the Rams this week. Facing Kellen Clemons at home, where the Colts have been terrific, could lead to a very good day, and probably a Colts win.
Analysis: The Colts defense makes for a solid start this week in a favorable match-up against the Rams.
Match-up We Hate: Rams DEF
The Rams defense has been a viable option at times this year, especially over the last hand full of weeks, but they are a match-up play at best. The Colts have proven they are the real deal, even without Reggie Wayne, and I would think twice before starting any defense against Andrew Luck and company, especially if the game is in Indy. Opposing defenses do not put up points against the Colts at home, and that trend should continue this Sunday.
Analysis: Avoid the Rams defense and look for a btter match-up elsewhere.
Key Injuries: Darius Heyward-Bey WR, IND (probable), Robert Mathis LB, IND (probable), Zac Stacy RB, STL (probable)
Start 'Em: Andrew Luck, Trent Richardson, Donald Brown, Coby Fleener, TY Hilton, Colts DEF, Zac Stacy, Tavon Austin, Jared Cook, Austin Pettis

Prevention For Chronic Disease
Chronic disease treatments account for more than 80% of healthcare costs in the United States. The answer to help improve conditions and lower costs isn't coming from new medications and surgeries. A policy of prevention is needed to improve health and healthcare in America.
The Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) is recommending reimbursing physicians for speaking to their patients about improving their health. Also, they want to strengthen healthcare providers connection with non-medical, community-based organizations.
What the BPC might not realize is that this role already exists. These are your doctors of chiropractic, acupuncturists, nutritionists, etc. It is our goal to help keep people healthy within the community, and avert the progression of disease. Chiropractors are primary care physicians in California that are educated to diagnose illnesses and counsel their patients on what may be needed for their health concerns.

Want to own a home in Boston? You better be bringing home some big bucks in order to afford and keep it, according to a recent survey.
Mortgage research firm HSH.com recently released its quarterly "The Salary You Must Earn to Buy a Home in 27 Metros'' report. The report analyzed the National Association of Realtors' first-quarter data for median home prices and compared it to first-quarter average interest rates for 30-year fixed rate mortgages. The company then used the data to determine the annual salary needed to own a home in 27 major cities, including Boston.
With median home prices in Boston at $363,200 (a 9.3 percent increase from last year) and 30-year fixed mortgage rates of 4.47 percent, HSH.com determined the annual salary homeowners need to afford the principal loan, interest, taxes, and insurance payments on a Boston property is $79,820.01. This income allows for monthly payments of $1,862.47, according to the report.
Boston has the fifth highest salary required for homeownership on HSH.com's list. The other cities in the top five include Los Angeles ($85,964.88), New York City ($89,788.69), San Diego ($98,534.22), and San Francisco ($137,129.55).
The city with the lowest salary requirement for homeownership is Cleveland, where the annual income needed for a home is $29,788.67. Median home prices in Cleveland are $102,100.
There is a silver lining in HSH.com's report. According to their research, Boston home prices dropped by 2.18 percent from the previous quarter, which saves homeowners about $950.

At the age of 29, Messi has decided to hang up his boots and retire from international football. Messi decided to call it in after Argentina suffered 4-2 (Penalties) defeat at the hands of Chile in finals of Copa América Centenario. After losing his third final in a major international tournament, he spoke to the media about his decisions and laid it all out that his days of chasing after the cup are over.
"For me, the national team is over. I've done all I can. It hurts not to be a champion. It was the thing I wanted the most, but I couldn't get it, so I think it's over. It's very hard, but the decision is taken. Now I will not try more and there will be no going back." - Lionel Messi
Source: Indianexpress
Our very own Sachin Tendulkar is one such personality who saw his dreams falling apart. Every time he got closer to winning the holy grail of cricket - World Cup, something or the other kept him away from his dream. Looking at Messi's decision and Sachin's glittering career, we think that there are few things this Argentine superstar can learn from India's cricketing legend.
1. Not giving up on your dreams
Source: use4info
Sachin and Messi both faced defeats. Messi has so far lost 4 major international tournaments and Sachin lost 5 World Cups in his career but he never strayed away from pursuing his life's ultimate goal. Sachin had the self believe and the will to carry on, and even after failing 5 times, he finally realized his dream in 2011.
Sachin's career was riddled with numerous injuries that he suffered along the course of 20 years. Sachin suffered from back injuries, a career threatening tennis elbow, toe injury and what not. He even had to go through surgeries many times. Sachin endured it all, made changes in his game and still played on because he knew what his life goal was.
Maybe Messi could have taken a page out of Sachin's book and continued his pursuit of winning an international Cup for Argentina in Russia 2018.
2. Captaincy pressure
Source: dailypost.ng
Being a captain never really bode well for Sachin, same could be said for Messi. Sachin saw it happen to him and understood that the pressure was far greater than he had expected. He choose to step down as a captain but continued to play for the country. Maybe, Messi could also have done the same and focused more on improving his own game than retiring altogether from international football.
3. Support system
Source: deccanchronicle
Sachin contemplated retirement after the side suffered bad defeat at the hands of Bangladesh in 2007 World Cup. He shared his thoughts with his older brother Ajit Tendulkar, who motivated him to give it another shot and try for 2011's World Cup. Sachin always had the support of his people in victory or defeat. Messi never had this kind of unconditional support from his countrymen. Maybe, this was because he shifted to Barcelona at the age of 13 that distanced him with the fans of his nation. Maybe, it was the reason that fans and legends saw him more of a FC Barcelona player than an Argentine National. Maybe, he would not have taken this decision if he had a close confidante like Sachin had in Ajit.
4.Country comes first
Source: true-faith.co
Messi shouldn't have taken this decision. Maybe, he should have retired from the club football for a while, knuckled down and continued to pursue his lifelong dream of winning the trophies for the his country. Sachin too stepped down, although it was from the T-20 cricket. He knew it in his heart that winning ODI World Cup was his ultimate goal and he was ready to sacrifice his T-20 career to realize this dream.
"Enjoy the game and chase your dreams because dreams do come true. Mine did when we won the World Cup, after 22 years." - Sachin Tendulkar

It's an ill wind, even in March, that blows no good, so it might have been all for the best that Alexander Korda experienced the recession. With his production wings clipped, he couldn't very well turn out another Wellsian spectacle and he had to focus his attention upon such an engaging miniature as "Storm in a Teacup" which began raging at the Little Carnegie yesterday. This is the film of "Storm Over Patsy" which amused Broadway for a bit last season, a much better film than the play. It is broader of scene, for one thing; with more room for sweeping jesture and sweeping jest, and with a microphone's ear cupped to catch the odd things a Scottish burr and an Irish brogue can do to the King's English.And vurra odd things they can do, as you will discover while listening to the McNaughton, the Allgood, the MacPherson, the Bruce, the Jeans and the Hale of the cast. Och aye! With such a dialectic crew aboard and with full many a porridgy line and tight little scene to handle, it is no wonder the piece is a rarely quizzical comedy—as droll as the Scot himself and much freerer with its entertainment. After the recent barrage of Hollywood slapstick and genteel lunacy, it's a rare treat to find excuse for honest laughter again. But this doesn't explain the teacup tempest.Well, 'twas like this: Mrs. Hegarty, whose brogue was richer than the ice cream she peddled on the streets of Baikie, had a dog, Patsy. Or, rather, she hadn't the dog, Patsy, because Patsy had been impounded by the authorities for lacking a license. Mrs. Hegarty might have paid Patsy's license fee, although under protest, but there was a £5 fine besides, and this Mrs. Hegarty couldn't pay, even under protest. There was also a Provost, a stern and blathering man, with his eye on Parliament and a sweet-faced daughter in his house; and a crusading young reporter, fresh from England, who was left in charge of Baikie's lone newspaper on a night when he was seething with indignation over the Provost's treatment of Mrs. Hegarty and Patsy.So there was a telling story on the front page the next day and the beginning of the storm over Patsy. Before it subsided the empire almost had been shaken to Gibraltar, Mrs. Hegarty was wearing boas and egret feathers and Patsy, who had taken everything philosophically, heard himself described as the epitome of all the dogs in England—with genealogical research to prove it. The comedy has been delightfully played, scampers along like a pup under the joint direction of Victor Saville and Ian Dalrymple and has as flavorsome dialogue (and we're not speaking merely of the peat and heather influence) as we have heard this season. In a word, "Storm in a Teacup" is a splendid comic brew—and Sara Allgood's in it.

Advanced Exposure Modes for Your Nikon D600 Digital Camera
To really take creative control with your Nikon D600, step up to one of these exposure modes, which enable you to adjust aperture (f-stop) to manipulate depth of field (the distance over which focus appears sharp) and to adjust shutter speed to determine whether moving objects appear sharply focused or blurry. You also gain access to many features not available in the fully automatic modes, including the option to adjust flash power and tweak photo colors.
|Exposure Mode
|Programmed Autoexposure
|The camera selects both the f-stop and shutter speed to ensure
proper exposure, but you can choose from multiple combinations of
the two settings by rotating the Main command dial.
|Aperture-priority Autoexposure
|You set aperture by rotating the Sub-command dial; the camera
selects the shutter speed needed to produce a good exposure at that
|Shutter-priority Autoexposure
|You set shutter speed by rotating the Main command dial; the
camera selects the f-stop that will produce a good exposure at your
chosen shutter speed.
|Manual Exposure
|You control both the shutter speed and f-stop; rotate the Main
command dial to set shutter speed, and use the Sub-command dial to
set the f-stop.
|U1 and U2
|User Modes
|Create custom exposure modes through the Setup menu.

I came across a very nice Google mashup today. There are so many of them out there but this one caught my attention for a number of reasons – both from a personal and technical interest standpoint.
Lindsay Wright has created a website called Tidespy that provides tide and solar information for tidal stations in many countries.
From a technical standpoint some of the interesting things he has built into the site include:
- the incorporation of dynamic data (both tide and solar information) into a mashup environment
- information rich pop up windows with user control of which data to view
- simple user tools to modify how the data is presented
- tools that allow users to customize the how information is presented and search tools for finding specific locations
- nifty little location markers which at the local level show whether the tide is rising or falling and change color in accordance with the tide level
Tidespy shows that it is possible to create an attractive, interesting and informative mapping application with readily available mapping tools.

- An idealistic, but sheltered teen on a forbidden road trip.
- A narcissistic shapeshifter who has lost his ability to shapeshift.
As a mysterious and sinister darkness spreads throughout the world, draining the life force out of whatever it touches, this unlikely pair are (unwillingly) thrown together on a mission to save life as they know it. And they just might succeed. IF they can put their personal differences (and pride) aside. Easier said than done...
Know this: I prefer Dreamworks Animation to Disney any day (Come on! Shrek! Kung Fu Panda! Animated movies seriously don't get better than that!), because I am SO over the whole over-hyped Princess-In-Distress thing that makes Disney...well, Disney. As a member of the Grrl Power Movement of the mid-to-late 1990s, I find the whole "someday my prince will come" mentality insulting. It introduces unhealthy and unrealistic ideas into the heads of impressionable little girls, and that is not cool.
I could go on and on, but I suppose, for the sake of this review, I should just "Let It Go"... (excuse the horrid pun, but I'm trying to earn my official Lumberjanes Pun-Geon Badge).
Despite what I just said about Disney, Moana, the latest Mouse-endorsed release, just might be a new animated favorite. This new-to-DVD film pairs stellar animation, fantastic music, humor, and a fun, adventurous plot that, I might add, DOES NOT involve romance in any way. How awesome is it? Let me count the ways!
Set several thousand years ago on a gorgeous tropical island, Moana is the daughter of the chief. Her destiny is to someday take over her father's crown and lead her people (a female chief...love it already!). But for as long as she can remember, she has been drawn to the sea and would love nothing more to explore beyond the safety of the reef. But no one ventures there. No one. It's not safe. Or so she is told...over and over and over again.
But this is not necessarily the whole truth. Moana's people were once explorers, discovering island after island. Legend has it they only stopped voyaging when demigod Maui stole the life-giving heart of Te Fiti, unleasing a terrible, all-consuming darkness upon the world. A darkness that would drain the life out of everything it touches.
But some legends are real. Because the darkness has reached Moana's island.
On the night her beloved grandmother dies, Moana learns a secret: She has been chosen to go on a great quest. She must find Maui and, thogether, they must restore the heart. In doing so, they will save the world.
So Moana borrows a boat and sets off... But, with danger at every turn (not to mention a very stubborn Maui), her task proves to be much harder than she ever anticipated.
Not only was this movie an edge-of-your-seat adventure, it also had a plot that was NOT focused on romance between the two main characters (that would just be weird). There was humor, there was great music, there were fantastic characters, and there was a twist at the end that made the film, as a whole, even more awesome. Plus, the animation was bright and colorful enough to make the viewer feel warm and tropical on even the most drab Michigan winter day. Break out the SPF!
Moana gets 5 stars. No, 10 stars (out of 5 stars). It's pure awesomeness! Watch it!
p.s. To be fair, Disney has, in recent years, been making a conscious effort to break out of that "Helpless Princess" cycle. Brave... Frozen... And now Moana... Props to them for that :)

YES! Amended HB790 would end police-enforced monopoly!
YES! That is the end of the Police-Enforced Monopoly, and that is something we've wanted for years. It is a component of true privatization; the recognition that "competition" is meaningless in an arena of full or partial monopoly. It is an end to the unAmerican restrictions on Pennsylvanians' booze-buying freedom, it is a gust of freeing air. It is a triumph for US, people: this is a topic WE made happen.
So...win this. YOU need to call or email -- or both -- YOUR representative this week -- especially if your rep is a Republican -- and tell them you WANT liquor store privatization, you WANT HB 790 to pass, and that this IS a voting booth priority for you. Pass the word, get your friends and family to send in support; this is one time we have to try to match the union. Get on it!
The House Republicans have given us a shot at booze freedom; we have to let them know we want it!

Hey Lew, LCB employee here. I'm not posting to lament my possibly impending unemployed status, but rather to ask a question since you're more cognizant of the facts of privatization than just about anyone else I know.
Since the state refuses to relinquish the 18% emergency tax, how narrow of a profit margin are the licensees going to have to operate with? I believe the state has a flat 30% markup on every item (and compared to Delaware, that can sometimes be the difference in price between PA and DE). I think that as long as that emergency tax exists, PA license-holders will continue to have to charge higher prices than surrounding states, even with loss-leaders. Now, if I were a person who could afford such a license, I'd have to be asking myself why I'd bother (unless I were a grocery store or wal-mart seeking wine and beer as a draw). I think they're going to have to drop the fees down much further. Your pinata metaphor is very accurate, and I hope this process doesn't end up with PA being compared to WA.

Thanks for checking in. Best of luck, truly.
The tax is not going to go away, it's just that simple. And if they keep the tax, that's going to be a built-in advantage for Delaware, sure. The PLCB's 30% mark-up is going to be adjusted by private stores, for sure; they can make the mark-up whatever they want, but they still have to make money. That's the situation New Jersey stores are in. But...it's not just price. It's selection -- and Total kicks your ass, no matter what Joe Conti says -- and, sorry, but it's service, too; it's more than enough to drive people miles away to buy. My dad used to drive 35 miles to Maryland to buy wine; the State Store clerks annoyed him, and they didn't have the wine he liked. Private stores will have the selection, or will get it, and the clerks, from my wide experience, are much more helpful.
It's not the retail fees/licenses that are so expensive (keep in mind that it's just an up-front fee; the annual renewal is actually quite low), it's the wholesale chunk. They're looking to squeeze a LOT out of wholesale, and that's gonna cost us.
The problem is that they've sold this on the "windfall," which is a lot of bullshit. There IS no windfall that doesn't come out of our pockets. Money doesn't just fall out of the sky...like from a piñata.
- March 19, 2013 at 12:11 PM
I don't think anyone with a shred of sense would try to deny the fact that Total Wine and More has several times more SKU's (which is why Conti did exactly that.) I have to admit that if they do privatize, I will derive a bit of satisfaction to see some of my fellow state store clerks going down with me. Especially the ones who gripe to me when I let someone in the door right at closing time (I'm a manager), or the ones who don't like the way someone "tosses" their ID on the counter. I will say this, though, even if it's irrelevant: there ARE plenty of us who appreciate our jobs, and I think what we're going to see is an current LCB employee exodus during the transition. Bad, rude clerks will leave the business altogether because they're unappreciative of the customer base that supports them and who refuse to learn even a little bit about the products they sell. But I think many others will leave as well, including people like me (who do our best within the constraints). It's not because of the pay difference (though I don't know what that difference would be), but because I'm getting so bitter and weary of being caught in this battle, while my "superiors" don't have to face the customers that are inconvenienced when I can't get a sale item into the store due to the warehouse being out of stock.
If privatization does happen in PA, a part of me will be saddened to have to start over, but another part will be more than a little relieved to be liberated from a job most Pennsylvanians don't support.
- March 19, 2013 at 1:10 PM
I agree with anonymous i am a manager to and agree a lot of these people who work for the plcb are leeches and while a part of me to will be saddened to leave a another part will be happy that this system will be gone because of all the crappy people inside of this system that took advantage of it for the past 35 years.. privatize privatize its the best thing that they could do..
- March 19, 2013 at 5:25 PM
Thank you Lew for all your hard work and long hours i pray that it pays off, i did my part and talked to several senators and reps and told them a few stories about different people in this system that got away with shit and now its time to pay the piper, i changed their votes for privatizion, i hope it helps.. for truth and justice for all

Will a WiFi Repeater be Solution for our Problems??
A WiFi repeater or extender is used to extend the coverage area of your WiFi network. It works by receiving your existing WiFi signal, amplifying it and then transmitting the boosted signal. With a WiFi repeater you can effectively double the coverage area of your WiFi network – reaching far corners of your home or office, different floors, or even extend coverage to your yard.
WiFi boosters, repeaters, and extenders are mostly the same thing – basically the devices to improve WiFi coverage. There isn't a clearly defined difference between devices that manufacturers describe as "repeaters" and devices described as "extenders". However, not all WiFi extenders work in the exact same way. There are several different kinds of devices available and below we aim to explain what those differences are and how they work, so that you can choose the best WiFi repeater for your circumstances.
One of the best options for a new router is the Archer C9 AC1900 Router from TP-LINK which offers 802.11ac, the next generation of WiFi. It's a dual band router with ultrafast dual core processors and four gigabit ethernet ports for use with Smart TVs or game consoles. It comes with unique Beam forming technology. This technology allows the routers to concentrate the WiFi signal towards your WiFi devices. By targeting the WiFi signal to where it's being used, the speed and performance of your network is greatly increased.
WiFi Repeater effectively contains two wireless routers, similar to the wireless router you already have in your home or office. One of these wireless routers picks up the existing WiFi network. It then transfers the signal to the other wireless router, which transmits the boosted signal.
WiFi Repeaters are very easy to install. All you have to do is place the repeater in a location that can receive your existing WiFi network, and then attach the power supply. You can then log into the WiFi repeater via your computer, and input the login details and password of your existing WiFi network, to allow the WiFi repeater to connect and extend.
A major advantage of this repeater being it creates a second network. If your first network is not available, your device will connect to the second. But in some parts of your house, your device will be able to detect both networks at the same time. This means that if you wish to change from the original network to the boosted network you will have to disconnect and then reconnect.
All WiFi repeaters have some speed loss, but some are much worse than others. WiFi repeaters work by receiving wireless signal and rebroadcasting it, but single band repeaters have to receive, then retransmit each packet of data using the same radio on the same channel. This can cost single band repeaters 50% of their bandwidth.
One final feature that helps reduce speed loss is dual radios. If the device has dual radios, it can speak to the main router on lower channels, and then rebroadcast on higher channels. The Hawking Smart Wifi Repeater Pro (HAW2R1) uses two Wi-Fi radios. One Wi-Fi radio receives the signal and the other radio rebroadcasts the boosted signal. This clever design allows the boosted signal to utilize a different WiFi channel, which greatly increases performance compared to single radio repeaters. The Smart Repeater Pro also has a very powerful high gain antenna that can pick up even very weak WiFi signals, and it rebroadcasts that signal on two powerful 3dBi omni-directional antennas.
