While roaming around on my Facebook account, I stumble upon this message in my notes section.
This was my closure point for my miscarriage in 2011, posted on the 10th of January.
"I knew you existed for 5 days… And on the 5th day, you were gone… I feel so empty now… I already loved you so much…I really wanted to meet you.. And never will I now… But I will love you forever my little Bean…. You are in a better place now…and you are safe…"

Manager's Guide: Flexibility
The final portion of this guide evaluates the flexibility of UTM devices, and helps you solidify your UTM decision based on the five arguments discussed.
The final portion of A Manager's Guide to Unified Threat Management evaluates the flexibility of UTM devices, and helps you solidify your UTM decision based on the five arguments discussed in the Guide. This tip originally appeared in Information Security magazine.
The last reason that UTM might be right for you is if you require flexibility -- at which point you should respond, "Who doesn't?"
Flexibility in the world of UTM means that you have the option to enable or disable a threat management feature any time you want. For example, if you find something wrong with your desktop antivirus, such as a bad update or missing signature, you can enable antivirus on the gateway instantly -- even if it's not part of your long-term strategy. Of course, the flexibility to disable a feature quickly without reconfiguring your network, such as turning off an IPS or virus scanner, can be equally useful.
While most products have the ability to easily turn on and off entire subsystems, such as the IPS or virus scanner, it's also important to identify UTM products that give you more than a few UTM options, such as a choice of multiple vendors for antivirus and IPS, or the ability to add in more obscure threat management, such as traffic management tools or esoteric firewalls.
That said, flexibility is a hard argument to evaluate. If you thought calculating ROI on a security investment was difficult, consider how to value installing a product for a feature that you might not even use.
Fortunately, you don't have to make one big decision about UTM. Instead, UTM is all about making a series of small decisions, one per feature. Any function can go into a UTM firewall, but not every function should. By evaluating the five arguments in favor of UTM, you'll have a better feeling for the cases where UTM will bring benefits -- and those cases where you're better off sticking with multiple point solutions.

Thankful Thursday
Five Things I am Thankful for Today!!!
1. The Color Red
2. Color Black
3. The Color Blue
4. The Color White
5. The Color Green
Take a break, sit back and enjoy this absolutely beautiful message . . .
You will really enjoy this. Let's be thankful that God gave us the ability to see colors.
Turn up the sound and click on the picture above.
Thanks Gary Ringstaff for sharing this. It's absolutely wonderful!!!!
So, what are you thankful for today! I'd love to know. Blessings to all, Cordieb.
More on Colors. . .Just in Case You Didn't Know. . . 🙂
Almost all visible colors can be obtained by the additive color mixing of three colors that are in widely spaced regions of the visible spectrum. If the three colors of light can be mixed to produce white, they are called primary colors and the standard additive primary colors are red, green and blue.
Two colors that produce white when added together are called complementary. The color complementary to a primary color is called a secondary color. The complementary or secondary colors for red, green and blue are cyan, magenta and yellow respectively. These three colors are often referred to as the subtractive primary colors. When the three are combined in subtractive color mixing, they produce black.

From Lush to Love
This poem was written in response to Simply Snickers Prompt. This week's words were look, line, and lush. This week, we celebrate the birthday of French Impressionist and Pointillist painter Camille Pissarro, who was born on July 10, 1830. Thanks Linda for the inspiration on this one. I was also inspired by a recent post written by Tobeme, End of the Rope. Thanks, Tobeme!
From Lush to Love
In the very back of the garden, behind the evergreen bush
resides a homeless gent who years ago was labeled a lush
life had dealt him a bad hand; he'd reached the end of his rope
so he drowned his misery and pain and gave up all hope
and as life would have it, with a bottle of wine at his table
the poor gent became just what his peers had labeled
In the middle of the garden under the bright sunshine
stood a single mother hanging cloths on the line
She knew the pain of being judged and ostracized
Yet with the faith of her being, above all obstacles she'd rised
she found a loving connection with the man at her garden's inn
so she made it a point that he'd have at least one friend
so each day after retrieving her cloths off the line
she'd invite him into her home for a hot meal and wine
he'd tell her the stories that lead to his fall from grace
to each sad story she'd give a positive spin in its place
she reminded him he had a beautiful soul and loving heart
as time moved on he embraced each day with a fresh new start
he developed a positive out look on life and love
Discovering his his true self, he became aligned thereof
and as life would have it, with a bottle of wine at the table…
the peaceful gent became just what the kind mother had labeled
Another Quote for the Day: Don't let 'em steal your joy ~Sinbad
Quote for the Day: We are what we believe we are. ~CordieB.
Peace, Light and Love. . . .
Spiritual Riddle – It's the little things…
I am the soft tickle of bubbles blown in the air
I am the wind gently billowing through each strand of your hair
I am the lucky discovery of a lone four-leaf clover
I am the ecstasy of the first kiss from a new-found lover
I am the the amazed eyes upon the first look…
Of newborn babe, straight from mommy's nook
I am the amused, confused on a roller coaster ride
I am the quiet majestic of the ascending tide
I am sweet rain gently falling to the ground
I am the whispers of the leaves heard without sound
I am that which comes so often; yet we don't understand…
the blessed dawn, as sunlight blankets the land
I'm seen in the stars, shining ever so bright
I'm heard in the voices of lovers each night
I'm felt in the kiss of a rose on a nose…
and the sweet, sweet aroma of that fragrant rose
I am laughter on hindsight of not going berserk
I am a hug and fresh sheets after a long day's work;
The sun peaking through the clouds after a pouring rain storm
The rainstorm after a drout of love transformed
I'm more valuable than all riches, and everything
I exist in the little things and what they bring
I am the sensation of a Popsicle on a hot summer's day
I am the innocence of life and love in children's play
I am an Angel, often found in the eyes of a girl or a boy
I am most mystical, not egotistical, yet so simplistical…
I am….. (click below for riddle answer) 🙂

Spiritual Thought for The Day
Redwoods in contemplation – courtesy of controltheweb under a Creative Commons License
I received this via email today from a very good friend… I simply had to pass it on!!!
The Buzzard: If you put a buzzard in a pen that is 6 feet by 8 feet and is entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of 10 to 12 feet. Without space to run, as is its habit, it will not even attempt to fly, but will remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top.
THE BAT: The ordinary bat that flies around at night, a remarkable nimble creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can do is shuffle about helplessly and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight elevation from which it can throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash.
THE BUMBLEBEE: A bumblebee, if dropped into an open tumbler, will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but persists in trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will seek a way where none exists, until it completely destroys itself.
PEOPLE: In many ways, we are like the buzzard, the bat, and the bumblebee. We struggle about with all our problems and frustrations, never realizing that all we have to do is look up!
The Darkest Shadow ~Written by CordieB.
Photo courtesy of Jill Greeseth , and is licenced under the Creative Commons
I am the tallest, darkest shadow to fall upon the hearts of men;
I have caused enormous calamity, failure and sin;
With me in a heart, humans seldom ever win.
Such a cold, dark, shallow shadow am I;
I bring on fears and tears, causing humans to sigh, asking why?
I've destroyed countless relationships, successes and faith;
I'm quite subtle, yet very strong is my wrath;
All minds and hearts will inevitably at times see me in their path.
All humans encounter me, some more than another;
You see, insecurity is my sister and worry is my brother;
My father is fear; suspicion, my mother.
I embrace souls at night like a new found lover.
If you are not carefull, I will suffocate you under my dark, thick cover.
Like a blanket of dread, I cover my prey;
To release yourself of my wrath, you must kneel down and pray;
Stay thankful and hopeful, live day by day.
I've had many second-guessing what's wrong from right.
I cause anxiousness, apprehensiveness,
and can make hearts uptight;
But my shadow is very easily overcome by the family of light . . .
For the bright light of hope, faith, and love shine so bright
And they bring courage, security and trust to join in the fight;
Such illuminosity, clarity, and brilliance is their light,
It will cause my dark, deep shadow to fade and disappear straight into the night!
Who am I? (click below for answer)

A Spiritual Riddle
I feel like the hush of a whisper, gently blowing in the wind;
I am the warmth and light of sunshine softly caressing your skin;
I have the touch of bubbles, kissess, silk and french lace,
Brushing ever so gently upon your sweet face.
I am a cool mist alikend to a newborn baby's breath –
softly blowing against your ears
I am the cup that catches your blood to endless depths
It is I who eases your silent fears;
I am a fountain of knowledge and wisdom; . .
I am with you from beginning till end
I am a blissfull vase full of mystery and wonderment
I am strong, yet I easily bend
I have the essense of the morning's first dew
Like the spring's first warm rain
It is I to whom the birds first sing at the break of dawn
I'm the mystery of midnight – yet I am not vain.
I watch over you in your travels
and pray wishes of wellness many times
You feel my sweet presense along your journey
Even through eternal space and time . . .
I bring laughter and happiness to you often
I can warm your heart with a smile
I have the fragrant alure of morning's sweet honysicle
Come sat by my side for a while . . .
I often sat back and watch you in wonderment
Always loving througout the ages
But the essense of my real beauty
Lies in the joy in the children's faces
I taste like sweet cotton candy dipped in lemon juice
My eyes were created to reflect peace and seduce . .
I'm easily chilled like snow flakes on the last rose of summer;
I'm remnescent of the last vision seen before slumber.
I am a colorful mozaic of joys and sorrows.
My tears help cool my soul.
The essense of serenity lies in my powers.
My true powers are yet to unfold;
I can radiate the coolness of a kiss on a foggy windowpane.
Or be as sensual as a shallow warm summer's wave
Although I'm the ultimate protector -less I go insane,
It is I that you feel you must forever save!
I am happiness, sadness; rolled up into one
My presense is such – I'm all but I'm none
I am like the vision of a rainbow
Reflecting rays of color on a transluscent sea
I'm a trusted comfortor and nurturer;
Your humble beginnings were born within me.
I dance with the rythem of leaves blown at the first sight of fall
Sometime I do tumble, at times I might fall
Yet, I am the will of the powerless, the strength of the man
I'm God's beautiful miracle . .
I am . . . (click below for the riddle's answer)

BABSON PARK, Mass.— Trailing by four late in the second half Wellesley College lacrosse scored three-unanswered goals, but couldn't come up with a fourth, falling just short of host Babson College, 9-8, in a New England Women's & Men's Athletic Conference contest on Wednesday at McDowell Field.
With its fourth straight win, Babson is now 7-4 overall and 4-0 in conference play, while Wellesley snaps a three-game win streak to drop to 6-5 overall and 2-2 in the NEWMAC.
Junior Charlotte O'Halloran (Middletown, R.I.) scored a hat trick and reached 100 career points to lead the Beavers. In all, six different players had a goal for the Beavers, who got six ground balls and five caused turnovers from senior Delaney Carroll (Acton, Mass.). Sophomore Lauren Drakeley (Woodbury, Mass.) added four caused turnovers and junior Julia Harrigan (Portsmouth, R.I.) finished with a team-high five draw controls.
Sophomore Olivia Strobol (Stafford, Va.) scored two goals and dished out two assists to lead the Blue. Senior Nikki Sharkin (Summit, N.J.) chipped in with a pair of goals, while classmate Wendy Nettleton (La Jolla, Calif.) turned away 12 shots in the loss. Junior Jenny Gubner (Pleaston, Calif.) added a goal and an assist, while seniors Courtney Peterson (Glastonbury, Conn.) and Mary Lemay (Longmeadow, Mass.) and sophomores Lena Engbretson (Beaverton, Ore.) and Dacia Persky (Las Vegas, Nev.) also scored for the Blue.
O'Halloran scored twice in the first 90 seconds of the contest and notched her third goal of the game to give Babson a 4-2 lead with 6:55 to go in the opening half. Senior Katie McKenna (Sandwich, Mass.) extended the margin to 5-2 with her sixth tally of the year just 2:16 before the break, and the Beavers got goals from senior Francesca Giovanucci (Easton, Mass.) and sophomores Taylor Thorbahn (Duxbury, Mass.) and Riley Bonagurio (Duxbury, Mass.) to build an 8-3 edge, their largest of the game, less than 10 minutes into the second half.
Engbretson and Peterson converted back-to-back free-position chances to cut the Wellesley deficit to 8-5 with 12:26 left. Babson junior Lyndsay Giroux (Westwood, Mass.) pushed the lead back to four with 8:43 remaining, but the Blue scored three times over the final 3:18 to pull within one on Sharkin's tally with 21 seconds to go. Wellesley forced a turnover after losing the ensuing draw, but was unable to get a potential game-tying shot off.
First-year Olivia Phelan (Wilton, Conn.) made three saves for Babson, which finished with a 32-13 edge in shots. The Beavers also held the edge in ground balls, 23-18, and draw controls, 10-9.
Both teams return to action on Saturday, April 15, as Wellesley will host Coast Guard for Senior Day at 1:00 PM and Babson will host Smith at 12:00 PM.

Google Wave to Get Large Scale Roll Out This Week
Google's Wave is not quite ready for primetime--but apparently, it's pretty close. The software giant is getting ready to roll out its collaborative e-mail/IM service to 100,000 users in a couple of days.
Google thus far has been testing the waters with the service, keeping it in limited beta since it was first announced back in the spring. Members of the PCMag staff were invited to play around with the service, which the company hopes once again revolution the way we communicate--the way Gmail did five years ago.
Google first announced the September 30th goal for a public beta back in July.

I had the opportunity to preview upcoming PUMA collaboration sneakers a couple of weeks back. These limited edition footwear will hit PUMA boutiques and authorised dealers here come July 2014.
McQ by Alexander McQueen: With previous successful collaborations with Alexander McQueen, PUMA has collaborated this time with the diffusion label McQ to present a range of footwear inspired by human anatomy. Featured above are some fierce wedges named the Leap made with soft Nubuck leather for the upper and plush leather overlays.
Sophia Chang / New York: One of New York's finest illustrators, Sophia Chang expresses her love for hip-hop music, street life and pop culture with a theme that focuses on Brooklyn and its iconic imagery. Other than footwear, Chang's illustrations were extended to graphic t-shirts as well as track jackets.
Mihara Yasuhiro / Tokyo: The Japanese fashion designer takes inspiration from rock and roll and Japanese art and culture in his statement-making designs. As seen in the above pictures, his sneakers showcased animal prints and studs that are synonymous with rock and roll with a sporty interpretation of the style.
House of Hackney / East London: House of Hackney integrated their classic prints into PUMA sneakers! Officially my favourite design in the collaboration.
Brooklyn We Go Hard / Paris: The Parisian indie brand decided to stick to PUMA's classic colour codes, using cherry red and blue together with the technique of colour-blocking and mix materials as well as textures, to create well-defined and complementary silhouettes that give great energy and contrast.
Aside for the collaboration, PUMA is also relaunching some of their iconic designs next season. It all looks really exciting, for instance I can't see a reason to say "no" to this pair of Easy Rider sneaker wedges.
The athletic chic looks set to go on the rage for a while. If you are shopping for some fashionable casual sneakers, keep your eyes peeled on the new releases at the nearest PUMA boutique in July 2014.

When I started blogging about food for MNN more than two years ago, I was only vaguely familiar with Mark Bittman. As I immersed myself in all things sustainable food, I began to notice his name popping up almost weekly, sometimes several times a week.
I became familiar with his New York Times column The Minimalist, and it quickly became a must-read for me. When I was asked to review his book "Food Matters," I found it to be one of the best and most commonsense books about how to eat consciously that I'd read up to that point. It's still one of my favorites.
When I bought his cookbook, "How to Cook Everything," it became the most used cookbook on my shelf. After years of trying all sorts of fancy meatball recipes, I found the perfect, simple one in that cookbook. There are several recipes that I use from that book regularly.
In addition to getting some of my now staple recipes from Bittman, I got a few ideas, too. When I read about his method of mostly eating vegan until 6 p.m., I gave it a try. In the end I found that while I love the idea, it's difficult for me not to include cheese in my diet earlier in the day. But, based on that experiment, I now rarely eat meat before 6 p.m.
One of his ideas that has stuck with me and my family is the idea of "everything is fair game for breakfast" — that came directly from one of Bittman's columns two years ago. I was already allowing my children to eat leftovers for breakfast once in a while. After reading his column and doing a week-long experiment, our breakfast choices really opened up. Mornings become much less stressful once grilled cheese sandwiches, chicken noodle soup, and leftover spaghetti became regular breakfast options before school.
Why this ode to Mark Bittman? After over 13 years of writing The Minimalist for The New York Times, he wrote his last column earlier this week. His exit column is a thoughtful look back at the evolution of The Minimalist. The column was so named because the recipes he shared in it used "minimal technique, minimal time or minimal ingredients."
This exit column made it clear to me why I enjoy his recipes and his ideas so much. He's got a lot of common sense and practicality when it comes to how the average person needs to look at food and cooking. These words particularly struck a chord with me.
To me the question was not, "Would I cook this as a native would?" but rather, "How would a native cook this if he had my ingredients, my kitchen, my background?" It's obviously a different dish. But as Jacques Pépin once said to me, you never cook a recipe the same way twice, even if you try. I never maintained that my way of cooking was the "best" way to cook, only that it's a practical way to cook. (I'm lazy, I'm rushed, and I'm not all that skillful, and many people share those qualities.)
But as his original column comes to an end, I wanted to thank him for sharing his recipes and ideas throughout the years. The food that ends up on my family's table is different and better because of what I've learned from him.
I know I'm not the only one who has l benefited from his words. If you've learned something from Mark Bittman, share it with us in the comment section.

Sometimes, it's hard to figure stuff out…the only thing set in stone is the past, you never know what you're doing in the future and plans never survive first contact…with anything.
Life before my family moved to the UK was…easy, I guess. I was young, or younger, and naïve…there wasn't much I had to put a lot of effort into and having never traveled outside of New Zealand, I guess I had an idealistic, somewhat unrealistic, dream/view of what life was going to be like in England; needless to say, I was quite quickly disabused of that notion and the rose-coloured lenses on my view of the world were harshly ripped from me.
There are, of course, good things that come with the bad but for the most part, my family has had a lot of bad luck since my mother bought mine, my sister's and her plane tickets…I don't blame mum for anything though because I know she did what she thought was best for us at that point in time. I am grateful for being able to see my grandparents again.
With everything that's been going on, I hope we get some good luck soon…we need it.
Take care, lovelies…

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is known for his tendency to remake South Indian hits. From his 90's blockbusters, Judwaa, Bandhan to his recent hits Wanted, Ready and Kick, a number of his top grossers were all remakes of Telugu hits.
The success of Wanted - the remake of Telugu blockbuster Pokiri - came as a relief for Salman Khan as he was going through a lean period at the Box Office at the time. The Prabhu Deva-directorial broke the Box Office jinx, which saw Salman deal with 12 flops in between No Entry and Wanted - with Partner being his sole hit during the period.
Wanted went on to become the second biggest grosser of 2009. The original film, directed by Puri Jagannadh, starred Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu in the lead role.
And now, after 6-year-long gap, Salman Khan is all set to remake another Puri Jagannadh film, Ism. According to reports, Salman was impressed with the premise of the film as well as the performance of the lead actor, Kalyan Ram. He has also expressed interest in the remake. According to the latest update, Puri Jagannadh visited Mumbai to finalise the deal with the superstar. An official announcement in this regard is expected soon.

0245 GMT December 06, 2019
Barcelona sent a delegation including technical manager Eric Abidal to France for talks with Paris Saint-Germain over a deal for Neymar.
Brazil saved the game, and maybe its World Cup, with an injury-time goal over Costa Rica on Friday in St. Petersburg.
Philippe Coutinho completed his move from Liverpool to Barcelona – but will not be able to make his debut for three weeks because of injury.
Jurgen Klopp conceded Philippe Coutinho made it known to everyone, including his teammates that he wished to leave Liverpool to join Barcelona, making it impossible to keep him at Anfield any longer.
Barcelona and Liverpool have agreed a deal in principle to allow Philippe Coutinho to move to the Spanish giant for €120 million ($144 million), a report said Saturday.
Philippe Coutinho hopes to complete a long-proposed move to Barcelona this month but it will take the second highest transfer fee in history for Liverpool to consider selling the Brazil playmaker.
Philippe Coutinho said that he has "no problems" with anybody at Liverpool despite the club blocking a move to Barcelona.
Barcelona claimed that Liverpool named its price for Philippe Coutinho, but the Spanish side was unwilling to pay it.
Philippe Coutinho is ready to hold clear-the-air talks with Liverpool as he looks to return to the fold with Jurgen Klopp's side.
Barcelona is preparing to increase the offer for Philippe Coutinho to £130 million in the hope that Liverpool will finally agree to sell the Brazilian.
Philippe Coutinho handed in a transfer request to Liverpool minutes after the club had insisted it would not accept any offers for the Brazil playmaker.
Barcelona is stepping up its attempts to sign Liverpool playmaker Philippe Coutinho, although the Premier League club maintains the Reds have no intention of selling the Brazilian.
Jürgen Klopp said Liverpool is not a selling club after rejecting an €80 million (£72 milloin) bid from Barcelona for Philippe Coutinho.

GM giant criticised over adverts
The GM food giant Monsanto has been criticised for misleading the public about the benefits of its products.
According to the Advertising Standards Authority's annual report, Monsanto's adverts were among the 10 most complained about last year.
The ASA upheld 81 complaints against the firm, concluding that some of its claims, which appeared in newspapers last year, were inaccurate.
It said that readers could infer that the benefits of its GM tomato were proven, despite the fact it lacked approval in more than 20 countries and was not yet commercially available.
Although evidence suggested the tomato required less pesticide, the potential benefits and risks had not been fully assessed by watchdogs in the UK or the United States.
Safety tests
With academic opinion still divided on cross species gene transference, Monsanto was asked to remove references that it had conducted safety testing throughout the last 20 years, the ASA said.
A spokesman for the ASA said: "The presence of Monsanto in the top 10 illustrates what a lot of the ASA's work is about - protecting consumers from misleading advertising."
Monsanto later apologised for any "misunderstanding" caused.
Last year 8,617 adverts drew 12,141 complaints which were resolved by the ASA, 12% of which related to 10 adverts.
More than 19% of complaints were about overseas mailings which encourage people to send money abroad on the pretext of then winning large sums of money.
Naked couple
A poster for bol.com online bookshop featuring a naked couple reading books drew 312 complaints - the most for any advert.
None of the complaints, which claimed the advert was pornographic, gratuitous and unsuitable for children, was upheld.
An advert for the secret agent spoof film Austin Powers The Spy Who Shagged Me attracted 310 complaints for its foul language, the second highest number.
Again, the ASA ruled it would not cause widespread offence.
A series of adverts for a radio programme on Bravo using quotes from controversial American DJ Howard Stern drew 238 complaints which were upheld by the ASA.
An ASA spokesman said: "Complaints about poster advertising, particularly regarding taste and decency issues, are at an all-time high.
"More than ever, we would warn advertisers to beware of going too far and causing offence to the public."

From Stefan Gruhl (CIP 92)
Sent Thu, Jan 9th 1970, 01:00
> Well, one question left : > Do you know a programable midi-to-sync box ? I mean I'm looking for a box > which could recognize any midi controler as sync-start and sync-stop; so > I'll be able to stop and start my 303 without stoping my midi sequence !!! > > The only way to achieve this yet is to use a midi-controlable mixing desk > and mute the 303 channel ... I am trying to built my own one rigth now. I did poet that on AH before, but here we go again: Sync is just 2 analogue signals. Start/stop is a gate transmitted on the 3 o'clock pin. the clock is a 5v trigger (24 trigers per quater) running on pin at 9 o'clock. I got a spare Doepfer MSY midi to sync device here and now got it built behind a module panel. I got midi thru, roland sync out and 1/4" jacks for each of both signals. Now I can hod them, continue,civide down, etc on them and feed them back thru 2 other 1/4 jack to an mod-sync out Din5 jack. What I intended that for is, to be able to hack any sequence into my 202 and get it cycle to the beat, by always resending a simple note on into a midi to cv/gate and hook this gate to the start stop in. Now the 202 will restart whenever I want it in my sequencer. I won't have random pattern access, but whenever I want to START it, I can. ... Oh and stop it as well :-) The neat thing about the doepfer is, that it comes with its built on clock divider, so I can reconvigure it to put out slower clocks like 16 steps per measure as well and drive a self made analogue sequencer in the modular from it. What I would prefer is to keep the original clock for the Outboard Roland gear and have a bypassing divider for additional slower clocks. Juergen has been so nice and told me the CMOS devices for that yet, but until I studied some books I won't know where to but to power to :-)= so long, stefan -- * real electronic composers don't like their music be restricted * * to the physical limitations of the human hand - AH - a great list * * Stefan Gruhl * firstname.lastname@example.com * * Monthly bonus sig: ************************************************ * "The course of true SOUND never did run smooth" * * freely taken from Midsummernights dream by Willy S. * ********************************************************************* *

I received this some time ago and just now have time to share some of this senior's story. I'll call this lady Louise, though that is not her name. Shortly after receiving her degree she became ill with a permanent condition, that while not life threatening, definitely affects her quality of life and ability to work.
Life has not been kind to her since then. Not many years after graduating, she was widowed. She has had more than one heart attack. She has also been involved in an auto accident, which left her with lingering health issues. Louise is now in her 70's and because of her multiple health problems will never be returning to work. She is trying to get by with only Social Security coming in. Louise is on an income based student loan repayment plan. But even with the lower payments she is having trouble making ends meet. Her family has no idea that she owes thousands of dollars in student loans, and she doesn't want them to know. She is under a lot of stress from her student loan debt and has no hope of ever paying it off. She describes it as a never-ending nightmare. If you are reading this and think you don't know anybody affected by these loans, think again. Louise's family probably thinks the student loan system doesn't affect anybody they care about.
This is just the kind of person who desperately needs loan forgiveness, which isn't available to her. People like Louise who have no way to pay off the debt should be able to get out from under it. The laws need to change!

How cube kids party better
You might think that those kids hanging out on St. Marks or the Astor Place cube are just posers, but you're wrong. Truth is, they're partying way harder than you. They hate their dads, they're ready to experiment with flexible personal barriers, and they don't care about getting their clothes dirty.
Case in point: these pictures are all from the same person; different parties.
They moon you and wail on guitar while their friend pukes
This speaks for itself
They are TASERING each other! You would NEVER do that!
Nothing feels good.
Ouch. I have a migraine just looking at this guy's sunburn.

Open love letter to Brody
Just last night I was retelling the story of how Brody went from the weird guy in a Moesha shirt to a super rad dude in my mind because of one specific moment in a college class when he related an anecdote about getting a milkshake thrown at his head while on a McDonald's playground. I can't do the anecdote justice, but it was like Septemer 12th (a whole new world out there).
Brody recorded an entire parody album, and has done unspeakable things to an unspeakable number of people's couches, and I'd just like to shout it from the rooftops how much I esteem him.
Yesterday, I emailed him to invite him to lunch. He simply wrote back:
(each letter is a different link to a Flickr image)
The image for the "A" in "can't" was a real special treat. Not only does it show an amazing party, but the user's title for the photo is even more amazing.
Thank you, Brody.

More seniors are dying with hospice care than ten years ago, the authors explained. However, a growing number of them are doing so for a very short time immediately after being in an ICU (intensive care unit). It appears that palliative care for elderly patients is often occurring only as an afterthought, rather than a properly planned part of patient care in which doctors, providers, patients and their family sit down and discuss options.
Lead author, Dr. Joan Teno, professor of health services policy and practice in the Public Health Program at Brown University, and a palliative care physician at Home & Hospice Care of Rhode Island, said:
"For many patients, hospice is an 'add-on' to a very aggressive pattern of care during the last days of life. I suspect this is not what patients want."
Dr. Teno and team gathered and examined data from the Medicare fee-for-service records of over 840,000 elderly patients (aged 66+) who died in 2000, 2005 and 2009. They focused on where these people died, what kind of medical services they received during their last three months of life, and for how long.
Since 2000, hospice and hospital-based palliative care teams have become major players in the health care system - what the authors describe as "mainstream". However, after analyzing more deeply, Teno and team found that often the fee-for-service system does not fully ensure the "full measure of comfort and psychological support that hospice is meant to provide dying seniors".
- The proportion of dying seniors who used hospice care rose from 21.6% in 2000 to 42.2% in 2009 However...
- 24.3% of these patients were in intensive care during the last month of their lives in 2000. This figure rose to 29.2% in 2009.
- 28.4% of hospice use in 2008 included patients who were there for a maximum of just three days. 40% of these patients had come in from an intensive care stay
Aggressive care is common at many medical centersCo-author, Dr. David Goodman, director of the Center for Health Policy Research and a professor at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth College, gave an example. His sister in 2008 had advanced cancer and died during a surgical procedure that took place the day before she was set to enter a hospice. Goodman said "aggressive care is the norm at many medical centers".
Dr. Goodman added:
"Poor communication leading to unwanted care is epidemic in many health systems. The patterns of care observed in this study reflect needlessly painful experiences suffered by many patients, including my sister, and other friends and family members of the research team."
Researchers from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute found that terminally ill cancer patients who talk with their doctor early on during their treatment about end-of-life care tend to avoid undergoing aggressive therapy.
Of all the patients, 4.6% were referred to a hospice for up to just three days before they died in 2000, this figure rose to 9.8% a decade later.
Teno said "With this pattern of going from the ICU to hospice, these dying patients are getting symptom control late and can't benefit as much from the psychosocial supports available were there a longer hospice stay."
Among all the patients the researchers had gathered data on, the number of days spent in a hospice during the last 30 days of their life was 6.6 in 2009, from 3.3 in 2000. However, intensive care days increased from 1.5 days in 2000 to 1.8 days in 2009.
Below are some more data the researchers reported:
- Seniors were 24% less likely to die in hospital and 11% more likely to die at home in 2009 compared to 2000 But...
- 14.2% of seniors were transferred from one place to another during their last three days of life in 2009, compared to 10.3 in 2000.
- In 2009, patients made an average of 3.1 transitions during the last three months of their life, compared to 2.1 in 2000
- More repeat hospitalizations today
- More late transitions today
- More ICU utilization today
Reasons and recommendationsThe authors believe that the increases are the result of a mix of:
- Physician cultures varying according to regions
- Fee-for-service care attracting financial incentives
- Not enough communication with the patient and his/her family regarding what the goals of care are
The authors also noticed that there were variations in late hospice referrals between states. In Teno's home state, Rhode Island, patients had the highest likelihood of being in a hospice for the shortest periods before they died. These differences are not the result of differences in patient health, Teno emphasized, but rather differences in local medical culture regarding palliative care.
Fee-for-service reimbursements encourage doctors and other providers, for financial reasons, to opt for aggressive measures instead of sitting down with the patient and family members to develop an end-of-life care plan than takes into account their preferences. Teno said:
"We need to transform our health care system, from one based on fee-for service medicine for the majority of Americans, to one where people are not paid for just one more ICU day. Instead we need a system where doctors and hospitals are paid for delivering high-quality, patient-centered care that understands the dying patient's needs and expectations and develops a care plan that honors them. We need publicly reported quality measures that hold institutions accountable to the standard of patient-centered care for the dying."
This study provides such data, because it reveals the patterns of where, when and for how long patients receive palliative services during their last weeks of life.
Medicare rule results in more aggressive end-of-life careIn another study carried out last year by Brown University researchers, the authors explained that a Medicare rule blocks thousands of nursing home residents from receiving simultaneous reimbursement for skilled nursing facility care and hospice care at the end of life. This Medicare rule is the reason why those residents receive more aggressive treatment and hospitalization, they added.
Lead author, Susan Miller, said "This study is the first, to the knowledge of the authors, to attempt to understand how treatments and outcomes vary for nursing home residents with advanced dementia who use Medicare SNF care near the end of life and who do or do not enroll in Medicare hospice."

I received a B.A. in Classics (Greek) at Yale University, and then a Ph.D. in Classics, with a minor in Comparative Literature, at Stanford University. My doctoral work focused on the interpretive implications of doubling and the three-actor convention in Greek tragedy.
At Randolph my students and I put that work on its feet by continuing the R-MWC Greek Play tradition, begun in 1909 by Greek Professor Mabel K. Whiteside. Directing the plays provides insight into the realities facing the ancient playwrights, and my research continues to argue that you cannot understand the plays without understanding how they were played. I have now directed twelve productions using original practices, eleven in the Whiteside Greek Theatre on campus and one in Greece as part of the 2009 summer travel seminar, "Practical Wisdom: Philosophy and Drama in Greece."
Although Greek drama is my specialty, I love teaching any course that leads students into an understanding of ancient literature and culture, in translation or in the original language. I haven't met an obscure grammatical term I don't love, and I do my best to inspire your passion for them as well in my ancient Greek courses. I also try to help students remember that the point of learning that declension or conjugation is to be able to read the words of the ancients, and to draw us that much closer to understanding them and their importance to us.
When I have time, I see movies, read novels, and knit. I live happily on Garland Hill with my husband Chris, my sons Spencer and Leo, and my daughter Helen.
Since joining the faculty at Randolph College, I have combined my training as a Classical philologist specializing in Latin with my research as an archaeologist: I teach all levels of Latin language and literature, and courses in Mediterranean archaeology. I try to convey my enthusiasm for Latin as a window into the literature, culture and history of Rome as well as a foundation for learning other languages and developing better English. My archaeology courses emphasize the material culture and physical environment of the Roman world. I like collaborative work: team-teaching with my colleagues in the Art department and observing my Latin students teaching Latin to gifted third, fourth and fifth graders in Lynchburg has been a treat, and eye-opening too.
A specialist in the archaeology of North Africa, I have directed excavations at Carthage and Lamta (Tunisia) that included archaeological field schools for undergraduate students. The excavations resulted in the publication of numerous articles and three books to which current and former students have contributed. I have become especially concerned of late about archaeological and cultural heritage conservation, and have developed a summer course in Italy with conservator Roberto Nardi to get my students involved.
My fieldwork and other collaborative ventures lead me to encourage students to participate in excavations, conservation programs, interdisciplinary research and experiential learning on our campus and overseas. As a student of modern languages and a passionate advocate of overseas travel and study, I urge Classics majors to study in Rome, Athens, Reading University or elsewhere for a semester.

There was a time, when the Ghanaian flag held a place above all others in Ghana, with patriotism and national pride, the Red, Yellow (gold) and Green, with Black Star symbolized, the very essence of the Ghanaian.
Democracy was to enhance unity, freedom of speech and an all inclusive development goal of the single country called Ghana, however the patriotism that Ghanaians once had for a single unified country is now being replaced by political affiliation, more and more people pledge their allegiance not to the country but to the political party they belong to. At a funeral ceremony I saw this miss guided notion of affiliation for myself, when the diseased was draped with nothing but the flag of his political party.
This state of affair has encouraged a culture of "us against them" in the country, where the winner takes all, and the looser is put out in the sun, to dry out like a dead fish. The winning party sets about to replace all that are not known to be members of his/ her party with that of his own, regardless of their competence and their motives, the situation only adding to a culture where instead of people performing to the best of their abilities to be rewarded by that recognition, to a system where people rather more motivated to steal and hoard corrupt funds, since even if they go out of their way to achieve something worth recognizing, because of their political affiliation or lack of it, they will never get recognized for their efforts.
Until the balance is reset where the ultimate incentive is to the betterment of the country and all affiliations are first and foremost to the country, then to the political parties, Ghana is never going to find its self on the right path for the development it deserves. What all political parties fight for is to serve the country, not their cronies, the reward in all phases of this paradigm is the recognition of one's achievement and not respect based on how much money they own which is mostly attained through corrupt means. Value should be defined on the basis of substance, strive and self sacrifice.
The opposition should still see themselves with an important role to play, nominating shadow cabinet and ministers to keep the ruling party on its toe and thus bring about transparency and accountability in all areas of governance, us citizens Ghanaians should be given the opportunity to evaluate all political parties not only in election but in their proposed measures and willingness to serve the country whether they are in power or not, by their continuous contribution to the country's development all times.
This is the Ghana flag and like all the other countries that still hold allegiance to the British Monarch, such as Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and most West Indies Islands and imprint of the British flag is incorporated into their various national flags.
The writer here, advocates the need for all political parties in Ghana as a legal requirement to have an imprint of the Ghana flag in their political flags, to help refocus where the priority of their interest should lie, in-terms of their ambitions and goals. An example is given above, on how all the various flags should look like, this should be the case before the next election in Ghana and it should reflect the expectation of the voters in the country. One should not be of a given political affiliation to vote for a particular party, but on the basis that the party in question is offering the better prospect in serving the interest of the country.
God bless our homeland Ghana, and make our nation great and strong, bold to defend for ever....there is no mention in the national anthem of any political party, lets just remember that and do some soul searching to re-calibrate our mindset and thinking of our interest and what our individual vote should count for.

but for me, and I guess a lot of students too,
we had already ended the trials on Thursday! xD
And after the civic test on yesterday,
every period were chit chating.
I love this kind of school life! XD
After school, Geon and me went to Prangin Mall by Rapid bus.
OMG, my first time on rapid! LMAO!
Luckily Geon knows how to go Prangin by Rapid.
We went to eat first after we reached Prangin Mall, so hungry that time.
Then, went to search for KaiShi's present, cause we're going to her party after that!
*Pee/asS: Me, Geon, YinXuan, Wakiyo and XiaoHui shared the present.
Bag? T-shirts? Cups? So wondering~
So many choices until Geon and me want to buy all for her by each of us. XD
But at last, we bought 2 nice shirts for her from the shop I.S.O.S.
So nice until I myself also feel wanna buy 1 for myself.. DX
Then, we went for our own shopping before my mum come and fetch me.
But most of the shopping time is for me to choose a pair of nice slippers. XD
Then, mum come and fetch me and Geon back to my home.
And she's so "ngam keng" with my grandma and mum and even my brother. LOL!
At about 6.30pm, my mum fetch us to KaiShi's party at her grandma's house.
We're kinda early, but not as early as Huai Theng, Sze Yong and Ah Fat! XD
(Huai Theng 3.30pm already reached there while KaiShi still havent reach yet.)
Then, we take some pictures for the 'early-ers'. LOL
And slowly, everyone reached. And the party started!
Barbeque with friends were fun!
But now I'm lazy to mention what happens in her party.
After they upload those pictures of her party,
you will know how fun everyone were! x)
Oh ya! Forget to show a surprise!
Taaadaaaa!! I'm without braces now!! woohoo~ XD
And these are with retainer~
Damn hate it cause it's painer than braces! OMFG!
Happy Weekend! =)

The iPod Touch has a built-in feature which allows it to determine your rough location based on the WiFi access point to which you are currently connected. Well, it appears there's something seriously wrong with the program - here's what I got for a search for finding nearby pizza places.
Zooming out on the map a bit (the blue circle is my estimated location), it appears I'm in Denmark!
Apparently my condo has an unknown Tardis-like function. When I look out my window, it seems I'm in Woonsocket, RI, but obviously the inside of my condo is actually in Denmark. Or maybe my iPod has really powerful WiFi antenna and I'm connected to someone's WiFi AP in Denmark...

Gmail privacy has become an ever increasing issue and topic of conversation. Some employers allow employees to use webmail services, like Gmail? Does an employee have a right to use it? Can an employer monitor their use? Maybe to protect the personal information of their customers. Many employers run into l trouble because they read gmail messages and infringe their employee's privacy.
Manage email in your organisation properly
Employers can avoid this and others problems by managing emails in their organisations properly. Employers should also not forget to pay attention to privacy and social networking websites, like Facebook, before monitoring their employees' use of such sites.
What happened
The CCMA has made an interesting decision reported under Smith and Partners in Sexual Health (Non-Profit) CCMA (WECT 13711-10). The company (a non-profit organisation) initially created a company Gmail account as it did not have its own domain. The employee, Ms Smith, was employed as the administration assistant. One of her duties was to check the company Gmail account and forward emails to the company's new email address (which was subsequently created: [email protected]). Smith also had her own personal Gmail account.
The company CEO (Ms de Lora) wanted to log into the company Gmail account to check whether any emails had come in while Ms Smith was on leave. Ms Smith forgot to sign out of her personal Gmail account and the CEO ended up looking at Ms Smith's personal account instead.
The CEO did not realise that she was looking at the employee's personal emails at first. However, she worked it out once she tried to look at them again and ended up logging into the business account.
the employee complained about her job
Ms De Lora dismissed Ms Smith because she found emails in her personal account in which the employee complained about her job, complained about Ms De Lora and told people outside of the organisation about its daily activities.
Unfair Dismissal?
Ms Smith took her employer to the CCMA for unfair dismissal. She argued that her:
- employer had intercepted her private Internet based emails on Gmail unlawfully;
- employer's actions were not justified by our monitoring law, the Regulation of Interception of Communication and Provision of Communication-Related Information Act, 70 of 2002 ("RICA"), that
- employer's actions infringed her Constitutional right to privacy; and
- that the emails that her employer sought to rely on were not admissible as evidence.
The outcome
The Arbitrator held that Ms De Lora had intentionally intercepted the messages when she returned to look at them a second time. The messages were stored on Google's Gmail servers in terms of a contract between Google and the employee to which Ms De Lora was not party. They could not be used as evidence against the employee because it would unjustifiably infringe her right to privacy.
The email could not be used as evidence against the employee
Ms Smith was awarded R21 600.00 in compensation, because there were no grounds for dismissing her without the emails as evidence.
Our comments on Gmail Privacy
The general position in our law when it comes to monitoring is that all monitoring is prohibited under RICA, unless the monitoring falls within one of the several exceptions allowed by RICA. Three of those exceptions are relevant to this case:
- where you are a party to the communication (the court held that the CEO was not a party to any of the communications taking place via email in the employees Gmail account); or
- where one or more of the parties to that communication have consented in writing (the employee did not consent to the CEO monitoring in writing); or
- where it is for a business purpose and you have gone through some important procedural steps prescribed in RICA (no reliance was placed on this).
If the monitoring and interception falls within one of these three exceptions, the company will be "protected" and the (otherwise unlawful) monitoring and interception by the company, will be lawful. Therefore, the key to implementing RICA is that where a company seeks to rely on a particular exception – invariably ex post facto – it must comply with the provisions contained in that exception. Moreover, each case has to be decided on its own unique facts!
So the court considered all the emails in the employees Gmail account to be private emails that the company could not monitor or intercept.
Based on an analysis of the evidence and argument by the Arbitrator it is clear that the decision might have been different had the private emails been stored on computer hardware owned by the employer. The court in our view seemed to place too much emphasis on whether the employer owned the email server hardware as being a test for who owned the email. This is not correct, as the employer can still own the email without owning the email server hardware. See our article "when is your email "private?".
It is also noteworthy that neither the Electronic Communications Act 36 of 2005 nor RICA require that the telecommunications system relating to the email or document being monitored be owned or controlled by the employer.
Note that an employer can still only open an absent employee's email in specific situations.

Without a doubt, one of the most exciting aspects to e-commerce is the potential for creating a truly global reach for your business. With the increase in high-speed internet availability and improvements in global shipping practices, it's possible to include almost everyone in the developed work in your target demographics. Despite the widely varied cultural quirks of nations around the world, there are surprisingly consistent demands among consumers no matter where they happen to live. A recent study from the well known e-commerce analytics firm comScore highlighted this fact, after interviewing almost 15,000 online shoppers from around the world, showing clear parallels in what customers expect in terms of their satisfaction with their shopping experience and what services or improvements they would like retailers to implement.
The majority of online shoppers demands fell consistently into three general categories. The most prominent of these was the desire for free shipping, often with as many as half to three-quarters of all customers saying that they have added extra items to their shopping carts in order to reach a retailers 'free shipping' threshold, highlighting the value of this technique as a sales driver.
The second most popular demand was the ability to quickly and easily return products that were purchased online. This likely poses the most problems for retailers, as many customers hoped for the ability to purchase online and then return unwanted items in store - obviously problematic if your business doesn't maintain a physical presence in the customer's home country. However, as Amazon and other retailers are experimenting with 'pickup' locations, where customers can order online and then pick up their purchases at a centralised location, this also suggests a market gap for a logistics company able to process returns for others.
Finally, as we have indicated in previous posts, many customers are looking for a consistent experience across multiple channels. Mobile and social media integration and consistency were regularly mentioned as effective marketing channels, with many customers joining social groups on Facebook or Twitter to receive special promotions.
Also interesting were the discrepancies between nations, most notably in the massive emerging marketplace that is China. China had the highest percentage of mobile device owners who used their tablets or smartphones to make purchases, with 78% of smartphone owners and 81% of tablet owners making purchases. To drill deeper into the data to ensure a competitive advantages in the global marketplace, check out the full range of statistics from the comScore report here.

I was developing a new website that uses Facebook Login as the membership system. I came across this situation where I needed to create a "fake" domain by editing the etc/hosts file. Somehow, after editing the etc/hosts file (following an online guide), I cannot seems to browse http://localhost in my browser anymore. However, I can still browse my local apache server using http://127.0.0.1
Few months ago, Facebook removed the page that allow us to generate codes for their official "Share" button. They replaced it with "Like" button instead. While "Like" button is fast and easy but we cannot add our comment along with the "Like" action. Therefore, in some cases, we still need the old Share button. Fortunately, the sharer.php still exists, so we can add the Share button using Facebook's official script.

My Turn Column
The Republic – www.azcentral.com
The Republic's "fact checkers" would have a hard time finding the facts in Tom Jenney's Medicaid "My Turn"column on Saturday.
I appreciate that editorial pages strive to be provocative, but Jenney's article was over the top. There is so much at stake with Gov. Jan Brewer's decision to expand Medicaid, and countless details still to be worked out. Providing a venue for this sort of misinformation is destructive.
HB 2045 is not a bed-tax bill. HB 2045 is a payment-reform bill that was thoroughly vetted last year by the Legislature. This year's version completes the switch to a new way to pay for hospital services.
Hospitals today are paid a daily rate for each day a patient is in the hospital. The longer the patient stays, the more money the hospital makes. Using this new diagnosis-based payment system, as envisioned in the legislation Rep. Heather Carter has worked so hard to advance, the financial incentive is to get the patient out of the hospital, not keep a patient there.
Maybe people who want to perpetuate the current unsustainable system are not interested in measures like these that will pay for quality of care instead of quantity. Or maybe it's that they're just not knowledgeable enough to understand the issues. But this reform is a critical step toward more integrated, patient-centered health care in Arizona. Second, Jenney doesn't know the first thing about Arizona's Medicaid system. The suggestion that our state's Medicaid patients are shuttered off to a "lowquality, government-managed, health-insurance system with limited medical options" is preposterous.
States across America are trying to emulate Arizona's model for patient-centered managed care, provided through an innovative publicprivate partnership where private health plans — not the government — coordinate health care for their members. AHCCCS patients are treated in our state's world-class institutions such as Barrow Neurological Institute and Phoenix Children's Hospital through a fully integrated and highly acclaimed health-care delivery system.
More than 50,000 Arizona health-care providers treat AHCCCS patients, managed by private health plans that employ thousands of Arizonans. Members have their choice of a health plan and a doctor; firsttier care, not the second tier Jenney described.
The Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System, which manages the health plans, is regarded as the nation's "gold standard," as Brewer
said in her State of the State speech. As evidence, AHCCCS:
» Is continually ranked as having among the lowest permember cost among Medicaid programs in the U.S. while still meeting high standards.
» Serves more than 75 percent of its long-term-care members in the home or community, among the highest in the nation.
» Maintains the lowest pharmaceutical costs in the country and highest utilization of generic drugs.
» Is ranked America's No. 1 Medicaid program for individuals with physical and developmental disabilities. Finally, Jenney cites unattributed studies that reveal generic Medicaid patients have bad health outcomes. In other states maybe, but not in Arizona. A truer and more responsible study of actual Arizona data makes precisely the opposite case. The study by the New England Journal of Medicine , citing the work of health-care experts who scientifically reviewed Arizona- specific cases, shows Arizona's providers are saving lives and delivering better health outcomes.
The governor's bold decision to expand Medicaid deserves more: a thorough and responsible examination of the facts using Arizona-based data and the homegrown expertise we have in abundance.
Deb Gullett is executive director of the Arizona Association of Health Plans.

Dons assistant on preparations for FA Cup tie
Assistant manager Neil Cox said he has been very encouraged by the reaction from Wimbledon's players in training after Saturday's defeat against Gillingham.
The Dons squad were put through a double training session yesterday as preparations for the FA Cup first round tie against York City gathered pace.
"It was good to see the lads so disappointed that we did not take anything out of Saturday's game against the league leaders," said Neil Cox. "We thought we should have got something out of it, but we are working hard on the training pitch this week to put in a good performance for York City. We needed a clear week so that we could sort everything out. We have been running off a difficult timetable since we came in, but with no game during the week we are able to get through a lot of work in training. We had a double training session yesterday, hopefully we can get through a lot more work, and that will show itself on Saturday. It is the first round proper of the FA Cup and we want to be in the second round of the hat. We will go there with our strongest side possible to try and win the game."
Neil Cox added that the coaching staff have taken every opportunity to keep injured midfielder Sammy Moore involved with the group – and have even offered him a chance to do some scouting while he continues his recuperation.
"We have made sure that we have kept in touch with him as he will be out for a while," added Neil. "We have given him a couple of weeks off to get his head right, but he has a plan of action and we will start working hard with him when he comes back. We will also get him to go off to a few games for us if he wants to while he is out."
The full video interview with Neil Cox can be viewed on Dons Player.
