In this guide, I will discuss EVERYTHING you need to know about WiFi tethering on Straight Talk – from which SIM card to get, and how to properly set it up, to what you should do, if you get caught and your SIM card gets disabled, and if you temporary loose your phone number, how to get it back.
Warning: All information below is provided for reference purposes ONLY, and we are not responsible for anything (including but not limited to, your sim card and phone being permanently disabled, losing you phone number, etc.). Anything you do, is at your own risk!
Why tethering on Straight Talk:
As you may or may not know, most carriers charge additional fees for wifi tethering (using your phone as to connect other devices to the internet via you 3G/4G data plan). They do so even if you have a tiered (limited) data plan. This, if you ask me is complete BS, because you are already paying for limited about of data (usually 2 or 3 or 5 GB). So why should you pay AT&T, Verizon and others, extra $15-20 / month extra, for something you already paid for?
However tethering being free or not, is not the topic I wanted to discuss. If you've read my other posts – I actively use Straight Talk. However, I take full advantage of it – I bought a SIM card for $15 and now I can use it with ANY phone of my choice – right now I use it in my Galaxy Note. However, I also have a T-Mobile unlimited small business plan, which I use as my primary phone for calls, and I don't really need the included unlimited minutes on my Straight Talk line – I use it for tethering!
Straight Talk position on tethering:
In just a few words – NO tethering under any circumstances! They don't even offer an optional tethering plan. However, there is always a way to game the system – that is until you get caught
Essentially there are two "types" of unlimited data plans on ST – the old "Straight Talk SIM Swap" method, where you took your SIM card from Nokie E71 / E5 and put it into Android phone.
Second "type" is the new "buy $15 SIM Card and use it with your Android / iPhone" plan.
Differences between the two:
Speeds and Carriers:
1st type works only with AT&T phones (to get full 3G/4G speed).
2nd type – you can choose between T-Mobile or AT&T SIM cards. While T-Mo sim card will most likely (I have not personally tested) give you HSPA+ 21 or maybe even (very unlikely) 42 mbps speeds, AT&T will have a much better overall coverage, and I personally tested it to have "4G" HSPA+ speeds (21 mbps), which were / are pretty good!
Legal details:
Warning! I did not personally read Straight Talk Terms and Conditions (T&C), so information below is ONLY my guesses based on my personal experience and what I read online!!! You should their T&C for yourself before making any buying decisions and I'm not responsible for ANYTHING!
With that out of the way, here are two "legal" or contract differences that I think are there:
Both plans include "Unlimited Web Browsing" – what does that mean for us?
With SIM Swap method, it is presumed that you will use older and less capable 3G phones, but still, as far as I know, T&C for those plans specifically say that you cannot stream YouTube and other similar services, download music, files, etc. It is also specifically stated (as I learned when my SIM card was disabled ) – you cannot tether!
You can only browse web pages from your phone! Of course I did not follow T&C by swapping SIM card from Nokia E71 into Galaxy Note. But nothing would happen if my DATA usage was moderate. It was not. I was streaming YouTube / Netflix, downloading roms, and (by mistake) uploading pictures to Google+ … in the end I used several GB of data, and my SIM and Nokia phone were permanently disabled
But fear not! I got a SIM card for $15, and am at it again!!!
$15 SIM Card plan is more liberal I believe, as it is assumed that you will use a newer "real" smartphone such as high-end Android phone or an iPhone. Therefore they (I believe) have included video streaming into the plan. If they wouldn't – they would have WAY too many "Wal-Mart shoppers" (who often do not know much about all the details of theses palans and advanced phones) complaining that their phone / internet is not working.
The proof that the two "plans" are different – each type has its own APN settings – while first one is very similar to that of AT&T, second is much different. I will provide them below for reference purposes.
Why all this information and what does it have to do with WiFi Tethering?
With these liberal data plans available from Straight Talk, tethering is much more viable now. So the rest is technical – setting it up, not getting caught, and what to do if they do catch you and disable your service.
How to properly set up your phone for tethering:
Best thing to do is to install a custom rom on your phone – preferably not one based on stock roms from manufacturer or carrier. For example CyanogenMod, MIUI or any AOSP based rom. Reason for this – these roms will not have and carrier software, and it will be more difficult for them to track your tethering. If you can't do it or don't want to do it – you are still pretty safe to tether.
If you don't want to install custom ROM, but have root, you should get "WiFi Tether for Roof Users" from Android Market (download here) and follow their setup instructions here. In theory WiFi Tether for Roof Users "tricks" carriers into thinking that you are not tethering. In reality, id does not always work as "promised", but then again – developers of this app warn you right away that:
Use this application at your own risk. It is possible that use of this program may violate your carrier's Terms of Use/Terms of Service.
Still, because you will be on Straight Talk, they don't have optional tethering plans, thus if they catch you will get a warning that next time they will disconnect you.
Finally, if you are on stock rom and are not rooted, I would just enable tethering in settings, set up encryption and use Tethering Widget to quickly turn tethering on and off. This is what I use (but I'm on unlocked Galaxy Note with a custom ICS rom) without any issues.
What to do if you get disconnected and/or loose your phone number:
First – as with any carrier, you can transfer your existing number to Straight Talk. The question is -how much do you need your phone number? If you really need it, I suggest you do not tether aggressively! Put a 3G traffic monitor app on your phone and put a monthly limit to 2-3 GB. I would even break that into daily traffic limits. This is more or less safe.
Most likely scenario that can happen to you (and it happend to me), if you overuse data:
1) They will call you to let you know that you are abusing the system.
2) They will disable data (but phone calls will still work). Your 3G or H+ icon in the notification bar will disappear.
3) They may completely disable your sim card, but this is more likely for "SIM swap" cards.
How to get your internet / data connection restored:
If your 3G / H+ icon goes away, just call ST customer service from some other phone (because they will need to "troubleshoot" your phone with ST sim card), and just play dumb – something like: "Uh yea, I was trying to check my email, and my internet is not working…" – that is what I did , and it got restored in 2 minutes :).
What to do if your connection gets throttled down (speed reduced to 2G):
This also happened to me a month or so ago – my mobil data speed (download only) dropped down to dial-up levels – so much that Speed Test would not run successfully most of the time – and when it did, i was at 60-70 kbps, instead of typical 2500-5000 kbps. My up speed was still good – about 1000-1300 kbps.
So what I did – I called ST customer support (once again – from a different phone, so they can troubleshoot your ST SIM / phone), and told them that my interent is not working / very slow, sot that page in a browser loads longer than a minute and then stops loading. They were giving me a story that I'm in a bad reception area or that there are "temporary network issues". Funny thing – we both knew its bull… So I said that it was working fine yesterday, and that I was in different areas of the state (which was true) and that my reception is full – 5 bars, and that there is something wrong on their end .. finally they just reset my SIM card, and all was great once again.
Basically – never admit that you are tethering (if you do) and that the browser on your phone is set to a "Desktop User Agent" – that is if they say that you connect to internet from your computer (imply tethering). And if they say that you are using to much data, tell them that you just check email, browse web from your phone and watch an occasional youtube video. Play dumb, and dont admit to overloading the network.
Also – do not actually overload the network – don't download torrents and large files – you will just screw it up for everyone else. But moderate tethering and normal web browsing in just fine, and they should not give you hassles – you are after all paying for "Unlimited Web Browsing" and YouTube is web!
What to do if you SIM card / phone got disabled:
If you are using ST branded phone – they may actually disable it from functioning on their network. But, if you are getting just a SIM card – I assume you have a decent off-network phone, and besides, most ST phones are just junk – Except for LG Optimus Black – but that phone works on Sprint network only (CDMA) if I'm not mistaken, and you cannot put a SIM card in it. So for most of you with a SIM card, this will not be an issue. If your card got disabled, there is not much you can do – you will need to get another SIM for $15.
If you do care about keeping your number and your SIM is disabled – get a new one, but DO NOT activate it just yet. Along with SIM card you should also buy 1 month of Unlimited Talk / Text / Web card. When you have both – call ST, and ask to speak to a supervisor right away – lower level customer service people will be of no help.
When you talk to a supervisor, tell him/her that you have a phone number with them on your account – tell them the number, and tell them that you have a NEW sim card which you want to activate with that number. Make sure they understand you correctly – I assume ALL their customer support is outsourced to (most likely) India, judging from accent.
Once they activate your SIM with your number, they will ask for plan card number, and will walk you trough setiing up your phone, APNs, and other things.
If you don't care about your phone number – you are much safer – if they disable your SIM, just get a new one, activate it, and put data plan on it. However this can become expensive – especially if you get disconnected only a few days into your monthly plan.
Best of luck!

Local Showdown with the Global Downturn – Two Patterns of Dealing with "Toxic Assets" Emerge: Developed Economies Assimilate while Emerging Markets Use Targeted Mitigation Policies
Alexander Mirtchev, prominent Washington-based economic expert and global strategist, discussed the international economic stabilization plans and steps to jump-start faltering financial institutions in the emerging markets with EuroWeek, a publication that covers the international capital markets.
In an exclusive interview granted to this influential professional publication, Dr. Mirtchev explained that some of the rapidly expanding and emerging market economies in the world are better-positioned than others to deal with the pressures of the global credit crunch and economic downturn. He believes that in China, India, Brazil, Russia and certain other markets, the implementation of extensive fiscal stabilization tactics, combined with recapitalization, extensive lending provisions and liberalization of reserve requirements can yet insulate the leading banks from the negative pressures of the global financial crisis. As president and founder of Krull Corporation, Dr. Mirtchev advised monetary officials of a number growing and developing economies how to implement such measures to address liquidity and solvency concerns and thereby avoid wholesale takeovers by the state.
"In this current economic struggle, it is important that rapidly expanding economies do not cut short the modernization drive and free market agenda for improved productivity and competitiveness that will enable them to compete in healthier economic times," Dr. Mirtchev told EuroWeek. He considers that governments are better off not "addressing the banks' functionality but simply helping them to pay their debts and to lend to clients."
Such measures should be "based on market principles so that nobody is forced to cede equity to the State and the banks have the option to buy back the shares sold to the government at any stage." He considers that government support to the financial institutions in emerging markets should not be a "free lunch," and, more importantly, avoid making the government the one that "picks the winners and the losers" -- "the shareholders and major investors in these banks should put up funds to save the institutions as it is as much in their own interest as in the government's," he said.
"Barring further major disturbances, the markets could react to this raft of measures by rebounding around the middle of 2009, on the basis of rising confidence. The extent of such a rebound would differ from sector to sector -- the higher the confidence in the political will to make the tough decisions necessary for supporting economic recovery, the better the markets will react," Mirtchev indicated. He also stated that "Emerging markets are subject to the same pressures as the rest of the world, but they will react differently." For example, in the case of Kazakhstan, he pointed out that a "stabilisation and growth package targeted to manage the economy through this slow-down" has been put in place, but that "the measures differed from those adopted by the US and the UK in that they address the liquidity problems in the banks as well as work to stimulate struggling parts of the country's economy."
Dr. Mirtchev is President of Krull Corp., a Washington-based consultancy. He is also an independent director of Samruk-Kazyna National Welfare Fund of Kazakhstan, and serves as senior economic adviser to the country's Prime Minister.

Hi guys,ReplyDelete
great show as always, thanks!
I created a small card game called "The League of Extraordinarily Shortsighted Agile Superleaders". I use it in retrospectives and bring participants to speak about servant-leadership. I'd love to hear what you think about it.
Here's more about it: http://agilesuperleaders.info
Comment: Indeed a great show! It surely encourages people to be the leader in their respective realm. A great leadership is actually hard to find but following the guidance of a responsible leadership trainer, one can automatically imbibe the qualities that contributes to the personality and create a leader from within. Get a good leadership trainer for better guidance.ReplyDelete

An Interview with Jean Hart Stewart
The Romance Studio
by Holly Hewson
About Jean Hart Stewart
I've always regarded myself as a very lucky person. Even though when I was six a freak accident killed my father, hit by a golf ball, of all crazy things. My wonderful mother went back to work as a school teacher. Her hours were longer than mine, so after school I was confined to the house until she returned home. So I began to read early and steadily. She saw to it I had plenty of books from the library, and I read through everything she brought home. I knew by the age of ten I wanted to be a writer, preferably exactly like Jane Austen who I discovered early and read over and over. At twelve I wrote my first romance. It was doubtless dreadful and is fortunately lost. Still my early isolation turned out to bless the rest of my life.
I found a group of other semi-nerds in high school, and always loved school. Ohio State University's school of journalism was a natural, and when I dated the editor of the student magazine he featured me as Campus Queen of the Month. Goes to prove who you know definitely counts! I didn't even recognize the picture the professional photographer took. The only importance of this long forgotten fact is my future husband's brother knew me from a class we took together, saw the picture and asked his older brother to come along to meet me and put in a good word for him. Hugh (the handsome brother) was then a graduate assistant in physics.
Not interested in anybody's brother, (not very bright of me!) I sloughed off the request for several weeks, until one night when we arranged to meet at the library. When I saw Hugh and his brother walking down the long stone steps to me I knew in my heart I'd found, the real thing, love at first sight. I told the girl with me that same night I'd met the man I was going to marry. Two years later the brother was best man at our wedding.
Don't let anybody tell you instant love doesn't exist. We've had two children, two grandchildren, and a wonderful life together as Hugh's job sent him to Europe a lot and often we went along. After that came my 25 year career as a real estate broker, lots of fun but I wouldn't want to be in that field today. Too many sharks circling the waters. I could tell some good stories, though, like the client who didn't keep his appointment because his jealous brother murdered him that morning!
Then I started writing, and here I am eight years later, a senior citizen with twelve books published and another book on the way from Red Rose Press.
I almost automatically started writing Regencies. Then my research in different historical areas led me to the ancient Druid culture. Merlin and King Arthur have always captivated me, and I discovered the Druids had once spread from the British Isles to Turkey and still exists today.
I couldn't resist the idea of having the magical endowments Druids presumably possessed passed on to future generations. My Druids are descendants of a ruling priestess of Avalon, and have fascinating powers. The historical settings of each book, starting in 1898 are accurate, even if the mystical powers are a little embellished.
What a fertile and wonderful field for a writer. Once again I was fortunate. I'd welcome any questions from readers about Druids and Mages then and now, so please e-mail me. I'd love to hear from all of you.
HH: What sort of research was required for your books?
JHS: I do a lot of research for each book. Although Druid powers can't be proven, the historical background of each book is as accurate as I can make it. I have a separate ten pocket folder for Druids, as well as large ones for each book. I use the web a lot, but also do extensive reading to pin down the period of history I've moved to. I generally research for four to six weeks before even starting to write.
HH: What did you enjoy most about its writing?
JHS: I love to write and always have. Telling the story I have in mind is the best part. Research is fine and interesting, and editing is drudgery, but putting the story down on paper is a wonderful joy. Exasperating at times, but joyful.
HH: What challenges did you face?
JHS: I had an agent in New York who seemed to like my work on other historical novels. However, when I sent her Druid's Daughter she returned it back saying it didn't appeal to her. I had complete faith in this book and amicably severed relations. Cerridwen Press was the first publishing house I approached with Druid's Daughter and they liked it and the sequel, My Darling Druid, which was already written. So I found a wonderful home for my babies.
HH: What are you working on now?
JHS: My current series is about Mages, the Wizards of the druids.
HH: Does the love of reading you developed as a child continue today?
JHS: Definitely I still read all I can. I'm a rapid reader, which helps and I can't imagine a life without lots of books.
HH: What made you decide to try writing professionally?
JHS: It wasn't a decision as much as a compulsion. I've always wanted to write, and finally I had no choice. I quit a successful career in order to write and never made a better decision. (except for marrying my DH)
HH: What do you still enjoy about being a writer today?
JHS: All of it. I plot a lot at night when I wake up and a new idea sometimes gets my hero or heroine in a hopeless situation I have to really sweat to resolve. Still it's fun. Of course I love it when I hear from readers and wish everyone would email me.
HH: Thank you!

One single ingredient always on hand in my increasingly dwindling seasoning collection, is the use of Publix Dry Golden Cooking Wine. This adds just enough zip to many sauce recipes. In fact, it gives food that quintessential after taste that makes you want to go back and indulge in a second helping. Try this recipe below and let me know how it turns out. You may want to send me a comment with your favorite recipe and I will include it in this blog. Feel free to experiment!
1 1/2 cans canned spaghetti sauce
1/4 cup Publix Dry Gold Cooking Wine (more if you like the taste)
1 tab. olive oil
1 cup of Frozen Seasoning Blend
1 pd. of ground meat
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. Italian seasoning blend
1 tsp. honey
Grated Parmesan Cheese
Put olive oil in sauce pan and fry with seasoning blend. Add meat after 1 minute and brown with salt and pepper. Add canned sauce, wine, Italian seasoning, and honey. Let simmer for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile put 2 quarts of boiling water on with 2 tab. oil, and 1 tab. salt. Add 1 pound of pasta and boil as per package instructions. Taste in between if you like noodles al dente. Drain, and rinse with cool water - just slightly to stop cooking. Add 1 tab. oil and 1/2 tsp. salt. Toss noodles to keep them from sticking.
Ladle a scoop of noodles onto your family's plates and top with a scoop of sauce. Leave parmesan cheese out on the table so that each member can top the desired amount onto their pastas. Wait till you try it!

The following Blog Post was written by Alisha Smith, Network's education manager.
The Biggest Loser. Let's face it – we're all watching it, and if we're not then, at the very least, a solid majority of our clients and class participants most definitely are.
There's no debating that as a nation (and particularly, as an industry) we're captivated by the show's drastic techniques and equally drastic transformations. From the airing of the first episode of a new series right up until the country gathers around the TV to witness the crowning of 'The Biggest Loser', we enjoy (in a slightly masochistic manner) observing the contestants struggle and – dare I say it – thinking to ourselves 'thank goodness I'm not like that'.

Picture this; a beautiful girl decked out in designer clothes with perfect makeup and hair – but something is wrong. Her head pokes forward, her shoulders round over and there is a slight hump on her upper back – and this is when she is sitting down. It gets worse. She stands up in her patent heels and her backside sticks right out and the arch in her lower back looks very uncomfortable. You've seen this girl before at the gym and working with a personal trainer on the weights floor, but all of her efforts have not addressed a very important factor of fitness: posture. Read More

World Superbike Championship leader James Toseland won the first race of two in the series' third round at Donington Park.
Toseland, who hails from Sheffield but is now based in the Isle of Man, topped the podium for the third time this season after defending champion Troy Bayliss crashed out while leading the race.
Victory took Toseland to 115 championship points, 25 clear of nearest rival Max Biaggi.
In bright but blustery conditions at the 2.5-mile Leicestershire circuit, it had been Bayliss, starting from pole position, who claimed the holeshot heading into Redgate corner with Toseland second and Regis Laconi third.
Ruben Xaus and Lorenzo Lanzi came close to grief on the field's first entrance to Fogarty's Esses but narrowly avoided a collision ahead of Xaus taking over in third.
And by the start of the fifth lap, the gap between Bayliss and Toseland stood at 0.89 seconds while Xaus would soon lose his third place to 2005 World Champion Troy Corser.
But at Coppice Corner, on the sixth lap, Bayliss slid across the circuit and into the gravel trap to gift the lead to Toseland who took full advantage by stretching the gap to Corser to 3.525secs by the time the 23-lap race reached its halfway stage.
And the status quo was maintained at the head of the race as Toseland came home 1.368secs clear of Corser with Biaggi in third.
Shortly after the race, a Xerox Ducati spokesman confirmed Bayliss had lost most of the little finger on his right hand as a result of his crash.
Bayliss was taken to Derbyshire Royal Infirmary in nearby Derby for plastic surgery but should feature once more in the next round at Valencia in two weeks' time.

Al-Azhar's Center of Dialogue, established in July 2010 to represent Muslims in dialogue with the Holy See has indefinitely suspended its participation in protest against Pope Benedict's defence of Coptic Christians at Christmas after the suicide bomb attack on a Coptic Church that killed 21 Christians.
Abramonline reports:
'The Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Sheikh Ahmed El-Tayeb, and members of the Islamic Research Academy have decided to suspend all dialogue with the Vatican due to Pope Benedict XVI's negative comments on the condition of Egyptian Christians.
The decision was announced today following an emergency meeting during which the academy's members voted unanimously on the suspension for an indefinite period.
Mohamed Tahtawi, the Azhar's official spokesperson, refused to comment on the decision to Ahram Online, saying it was self-explanatory.
The Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Sheikh Ahmed El-Tayeb, has condemned Pope Benedict's defence of Coptic Christians in Egypt against being murdered as "unacceptable interference in Egypt's affairs." He went on to complain during heightened international anxiety about threatened attack by Al Qaeda on Coptic Christians throughout the world:
' "I disagree with the pope's view, and I ask why did the pope not call for the protection of Muslims when they were subjected to killings in Iraq?"
Fr Lombardi, the Holy See's press secretary responded to Sheikh Ahmed El-Tayeb's criticism of the Holy Father for expressing concern about the plight of Christians in Egypt:
Fr. Federico Lombardi said that the Pope's position "is very clear, and always has been: a radical condemnation of violence, closeness to the community that has been so horribly stricken, and concern for the religious freedom of Christian minorities."
Fr. Lombardi reiterated that Pope Benedict's concern for the religious freedom of Christians "has always been within the context of his concern for the religious freedom of all people, not only Christians."
"Time and again, the Pope has condemned violence against all people – not only that which is perpetrated against Christians," he said, recalling the pontiff's recent meeting with the new Ambassador to the Holy See from Iraq, "in which the Holy Father spoke of the innocent victims of violence, both Muslim and Christian."
Protect the Pope comment: The decision by Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Sheikh Ahmed El-Tayeb, and members of the Islamic Research Academy reflects badly on them and on the wider Muslim community they seek to represent. It appears to be an act of nationalist pique against Pope Benedict for having the temerity to speak out against the persecution and murder of Coptic Christians by radical Jihadists in Egypt. This is not an internal affair of the Egyptian state but a growing crisis that concerns the whole international community.

Nicole Mills April 13, 2018 Film, Film Festivals Say Her Name: The Life and Death of Sandra Bland is set to make it's world debut at Tribeca Film Festival. Sandra Bland was pulled over and arrested for failing to signal a lane change in Waller County, Texas, in 2015. Three days later, she was dead, having apparently committed suicide while in police custody. But, as the case took on nationwide notoriety and sparked street protests, family and friends were left with nothing but questions: What, after all, took a bright, energetic Black Lives Matter activist from the promise of a new job to a mysterious jail cell death in just three days? Academy Award-nominated filmmakers Kate Davis and David Heilbroner accompanied Bland's family on their search for answers during the two years following her death. The result is a vigorous, unflinching case study in racial justice that also weaves in Bland's own voice through her empowering online video series, "Sandy Speaks." The character who emerges, beyond the flashpoint case, is a woman who dedicated her life to seeking out justice, and whose story and voice remain essential in the ongoing climate of racial injustice. The #SayHerName movement has certainly shined an important light on the deaths of black women as result of police encounters, but systemic issues regarding black women and police brutality remain. The names (and lives) of only a handful of black women including Sandra Bland and Rekia Boyd have gained national attention but, for the most part, the deaths of black women as a result of police encounters gain less media attention than those of men. We're having conversations about racism; however, we're not talking nearly enough about how misogyny and sometimes sexual abuse play into the racism that black women experience on a daily basis and in interactions with the police. Black women are still too often the invisible victims of the cultural epidemic that is police brutality. The list of black women who have died during encounters with the police in the last decade is painfully long. Spanning 2003 to the present, their names include Tanisha Anderson, Yvette Smith, Miriam Carey, Shelly Frey, Darnisha Harris, Malissa Williams, Shantel Davis, Rekia Boyd, Shereese Francis, Aiyana Stanley-Jones, Tarika Wilson, Alberta Spruilli and Kendra James to name a few. Saying our names is just the beginning. Remembering us, as we remember Sandra Bland, is vital. The Tribeca Film Festival takes place April 18-29 in New York City. Festival-goers can find more information at www.tribecafilm.com/festival. Make sure you check out this powerful film if you will be attending the festival! Comments comments

I about had it out with Pandora today. She keeps doing this thing where she cuts out a song right in the middle to go to a commercial. Ok, that's fine, if it's a song I don't like. I don't pay for it, so there have to be ads.
But today I had this in front of me:
So I was pumping my jam while folding laundry. Really, what else can one enjoy while folding laundry? (If you have other ideas, do tell.)
Here's my jam. (Previously thumbs-up'd so it would ideally play more often.) She finally got to it after about 10 back-to-back Pit Bull and Usher songs. She dangled it in front of me and then BAM! Commercial. Didn't even get to the bridge… Before you came into my life I missed you so bad. (Such good logic.)
I got mad and yelled at her (waking the bunny) and told her we're through. Then she responded with this:
Really Pandora? Trying to butter me up with your wily devices?
We're not broken up anymore.

My husband told me that we had too many zucchinis and asked me to if I could do anything with them. As usual, Julia has a great answer. The ingredients don't sound exciting but the result is wonderful! It can be used with egg dishes, steaks, pork chops or in a stew. It can also be served cold with eggs and olives or mixed into boiled rice for a salad. Or just enjoy it alone. I would put this on a piece of toasted bread. 🙂
Cooked grated zucchini and onion (Recipe below)
2 or 3 sweet green peppers, sliced
1 or 2 sweet red peppers, sliced ( You can also add 1 to 2 cups of fresh tomato pulp)
Salt and pepper
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon thyme, oregano, or fresh chopped basil [ I added a bit more of everything! Adjust according to taste!]
While the zucchinis and onions are cooking slice the peppers. When the zucchinis are almost tender, add thhe peppers (and tomatoes) along with the salt and herbs. Toss and fold, cover pan and let cook, folding several times until the peppers are just tender. Uncover and boil rapidly to reduce cooking juices. Correct seasoning. When cool, it can be regrigerated or frozen.
Grated zucchini and onions recipe
1 lb zucchini
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tblsp butter or olive oil
Optional, 1 clove of garlic, pureed [ I chopped it]
Slice ends of zucchinis and scrub them under running water.
Using the large holes of a grater, grate the unpeeled zucchini into a colander set over a saucepan. Toss with the salt. Let it stand and begin frying the onions with the butter or oil in a covered frying pan for 8 to 10 minutes, until tender and transluscent but not browned. Add the optional garlic at the end of cooking.
Push the zucchini as much as you can to drain the extra liquid. When onions are tender, stir in the zucchini and sauté over moderately low heat until it is tender. Can be served as is.
Enjoy! Xxxx Natascha

This recruit has undergone formal social media training since January. It'll soon be time to earn my wings and fly the coop.
There are scores of theories, methods, and tidbits that I've picked up, and there's even more that I'm learning. That's the catch with technology and communication, you're never done evolving.
Now it's nearly high noon and time for me to resolve a last few social media standoffs. Thus, here's Memphis Maverick's top-10 list of reasons, goals, or to-do's to evolve my online presence:
10. Join Ariel Antonio's weekly #picture901 scavenger hunt challenge. (It's fun work and fits the ethos of what I'm trying to convey.)
9. Actively pursue guest posts (Thank you, Choose901, for last week's!)
8. Follow-up on organizations or individuals that I've previously mentioned in interviews for future pieces.
7. Surpass 1,000 Twitter followers!
6. Track how people get to this site and examine if and why they stick around. (I'm talking bounce rate, baby.)
5. Publicly solicit events to cover and supplemental features.
4. Claim username on major and minor social sites via NameChk (Thanks for the tip, Glen Thomas!)
3. Tweet more verbs to gain better traction and figure out who should be following me (and vice versa).
2. Keep raking in FourSquare mayorships. My work and a restaurant have been conquered, yet I'm still after you, John D. of Central Gardens.
And the final social media goal?

The three themes from our midyear investment outlook still ring true as the fourth quarter of 2018 kicks off: a widening range of growth outcomes, tighter financial conditions and a rising need for portfolio resilience.
We see the steady global expansion rolling on, underpinned by above-trend U.S. growth. Yet the range of potential economic outcomes is widening. Stimulus-fueled surprises and productivity gains could boost growth and risk assets, whereas escalating trade disputes and rising price pressures could create downside risks. Gradual increases in U.S. rates are tightening financial conditions globally, and have contributed to bouts of volatility and sharply depreciating emerging market (EM) currencies. This argues for a greater focus on making portfolios more resilient to downside shocks.
Against this backdrop, we update our market views in our Global Investment Outlook Q4 2018, and take a deep-dive into the prospects for EM assets.
Here's a quick look at our equity and fixed income views below:
We favor equities over bonds and believe it still pays to take risk in equities, but we see an uneasy equilibrium between rising macro uncertainty and strong corporate earnings growth. This calls for portfolio resilience, expressed through our preference for quality exposures and U.S. equities over other regions. Robust 2018 earnings estimates make the U.S. our favored region. We stick with our preference for momentum alongside quality exposures for added resilience. A duller earnings outlook and looming political risks have us less enthusiastic about Europe, while Japanese equities lack a clear catalyst to propel performance.
We haven't lost confidence in EMs, where economic strength is starting to translate into sustained strong earnings growth for the first time in a decade. Consensus estimates as of September 2018 point to earnings-per-share (EPS) growth of 12% for 2019, with China at nearly 16%, Thomson Reuters data show. This compares with 10% EPS growth globally and has EMs just ahead of the U.S. The recent selloff also has restored a lot of value, and EMs are now trading at a large discount to developed market (DM) equities. The On sale chart paints the picture. Value stocks may be particularly underappreciated in EM, our Risk and Quantitative Analysis team finds.
What is feeding EM earnings?
Changing sector composition is a big part of the story. We've seen a flood of new offerings in higher-profit new economy sectors that appears unlikely to abate. The technology sector, for example, has ballooned from 4% to 28% of the MSCI EM Index over the past 20 years. Tech has led EM equities down this year amid tighter regulation in China and potential for trade risks to disrupt global supply chains. Yet valuations relative to DM tech are among the lowest seen in the past decade. This makes EM tech a large field that could be ripe for picking. We see potential opportunities in both consumer platforms and enterprise services.
Fixed income.
In fixed income, we favor short-term bonds in the U.S. and an up-in-quality stance in credit. We also prefer selected hard-currency EM debt over the local variety on relative valuations and the insulation they provide against currency depreciations. Hard-currency yields have risen to the top of their range this decade, erasing the usual gap with local currency yields. See the Hard currency preferred chart below.
Too soon to jump back in?
No two downturns are identical, but historically this has been a good entry point. We analyzed EM hard-currency debt returns since 1994, using the benchmark JP Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index. Each time trailing 12-month returns were of the current magnitude (a 4% loss), total returns were positive in the next 12 months.
Local-currency markets have been the main recipients of EM debt inflows in recent years, putting them at risk of more outflows. And they are more exposed to any further weakness in EM currencies. Currency depreciation is a double-edged sword for EM. On the one hand, it acts as a stabilizing force in a crisis—helping rebalance current accounts. Yet it also comes as a market shocker.
Looking for more details on our asset class views? Read our full Global Investment Outlook Q4 2018, which also covers why we see room for renewed flows into EM assets.

Our Mission
OFor the Love of Grace Foundation is a rare disease foundation dedicated to the eradication of brain tumors and histiocytosis in children. We proudly support the efforts of Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).
Our Cause
Pediatric Brain Tumors
Over 4,000 children will be diagnosed with a brain tumor this year alone. Primary tumors, both benign and malignant, are life-threatening. They are the the second leading cause of death in children – killing more kids than leukemia or any other cancer. Prognosis is based upon the tumors, location, grade and available treatments. Shockingly less than 1 percent of federal funding is allocated to pediatric brain tumor research. In the past 40 years, only 2 treatments have been approved by the FDA to battle pediatric brain tumors specifically. It's time to give our kids hope. Awareness will lead to funding. Funding will lead to research. Research will lead to better treatments and hopefully a cure.
Join the FTLOGF for multiple awareness and family-fun oriented activties through the calendar year.
For The Love Of Grace Foundation was started by the Masciantonio family to honor their daughter Gianna Grace who has battled a brainstem tumor since birth.
FTLOGF provides religious resources for families seeking comfort and hope from the Divine Physician.
Spreading love, faith and hope to children and families facing rare and life-threating diseases
In The News
The Masciantonio family credits their little girl's recovery to faith and the team at CHOP, including Dr. Phillip Storm and Dr. Amish Shah. They came today to donate $50,000 to CHOP in the name of Gianna's foundation.

One of the great thing with the Nintendo Switch is that you can bring it with you everywhere. But there's one thing that the hybrid console is lacking: video streaming applications. You've just finished a game session and want to chill watching an episode of Rick and Morty on Netflix. But the Switch can't do that… at least for now.
In an interview for the Washington Post, Reggie Fils-Aime – Chief Operating Officer at Nintendo America – confirmed to gamers that video streaming applications like Netflix, Amazon Video and Hulu will eventually arrive on the Nintendo Switch. but it's clearly not something they focus on right now.
Reggie said that adding applications is not a priority. The games are what's important right now. Those are how they will differentiate themselves from other platforms available on the market. But maybe Nintendo just doesn't want to put their effort on partnerships that won't bring them gamers.
"We're talking to a range of companies about other services, companies like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon — things that will come in time. In our view, these are not differentiators. What differentiates us is the way you play with the Nintendo Switch and what you can play. And that will continue to be our focus into the future as we continue driving this platform."

Frommer on Sports
Sports Book Review
Chasing Bonds and Other Sporting Reads
June 8th 2006
If there are
still those among you who have not yet had your fill of the giant
slugger after his aborted ESPN show, multi reams and reams of copy
about him in newspapers and magazines and an internet explosion of
data, gossip, editorializing about this most unpleasant of men - there
is now for your consumption two books for the purchasing on Barry
"Love Me, Hate Me" by Jeff Pearlman (HarperCollins, $25.95, 365 pages)
is an over-stuffed Bonds fest with over 500 interviews used to
give heft to this no holds barred profile of Barry Bonds, the man we
know too much about. The book makes for good reading.
By Mark Fainaru- Wada and Lance Williams, San Francisco Chronicle
"Game of Shadows" (Gotham Books, $26.00, 332 pages) is a more focused
tome as it has in its sightlines Bonds, Balco and Steroids. Part
detective story, part
investigative reporting, part excessive rehashing of newspaper clips,
"Game of
Shadows " does put the very over-exposed Mr. Bonds in the most
compromising of positions. There is a lot to digest here.
In the completely revised and updated second edition of "The Great
Encyclopedia of Nineteenth Century Major League Baseball" by David
Nemic (University of Alabama Press, $69.95, 1.056 pages) has complete
player rosters for every team 1871-1900, an extensive alphabetical
roster for every player, manager and umpire in that century. If you
are into that era - or in to baseball history -go for this one.
"Hammerin Hank" by Mark Stewart and Mike Kennedy (Lyons Press, $22.95,
pages) is sub-titled "How the Media made Henry Aaron" and the tome is
a very
interesting read as it attempts to answer the question - who was Hank
Aaron? -
-a sleepy slugger a Civil Rights activist or the sports hero of the
1970s packaged and primed to be consumed by the public? Stewart and
Kennedy have the right stuff here.

McKesson's most recent trend suggests a bullish bias. One trading opportunity on McKesson is a Bull Put Spread using a strike $155.00 short put and a strike $145.00 long put offers a potential 19.05% return on risk over the next 17 calendar days. Maximum profit would be generated if the Bull Put Spread were to expire worthless, which would occur if the stock were above $155.00 by expiration. The full premium credit of $1.60 would be kept by the premium seller. The risk of $8.40 would be incurred if the stock dropped below the $145.00 long put strike price.
The 5-day moving average is moving up which suggests that the short-term momentum for McKesson is bullish and the probability of a rise in share price is higher if the stock starts trending.
The 20-day moving average is moving up which suggests that the medium-term momentum for McKesson is bullish.
The RSI indicator is above 80 which suggests that the stock is in overbought territory.

A mentor is a personal relationship that improves the ability of the professional.
When I was working towards growing as a professional there were a few key people who made a significant impact on my success by mentoring me.
Today, I work with a select group of people that need to learn what I have to teach, hear stories about my experiences and the wisdom that has been derived from it all.
Some of the people that I mentor want to follow in the same path that I have taken. They don't want to be me, but they want to be able to do the things that I have done as a successful entrepreneur, creative professional, published author, featured speaker or engaged teacher.
Other people I mentor want to blaze their own trail, but they need to learn more about how to get there. They find that having a mentor with a perspective outside of their own is invaluable in making the progress they need to succeed.
I encourage you to explore this website to learn more about me. Learn about the books I have written, and all of the original content that demonstrates my process, leadership and creativity. Watch my presentations and review the schedule of keynotes, lectures, workshops and training I offer.
If you would like to talk about how a mentor relationship may make sense contact me to explore how we might be able to work together to help you reach your goals.

Our mission is to raise Global Awareness and Education for Complex Immunolgical and Neurological Diseases (CIND) including the following:
• Myalgic Encephalomyelitis – ME
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - CFS
• Chronic Lyme Disease - CLD
• Gulf War Illness- GWI
• Fibromyalgia - FM
• Mold/Biotoxin illness
• Multiple Chemical Sensitivity - MCS
We believe that raising awareness of neuroimmune diseases will increase funding for research, provide for better treatment, and eventually lead to a CURE for these debilitating, disabling and often "invisible" diseases.
Our goals to raise AWARENESS include:
♦ Holding respectful global public demonstrations to aid in removing
the stigma attached to these illnesses.

Total graphics snob!
This Easter weekend I've been playing a lot of PC games. I finished off Mass Effect 3, played even more Battlefield 3 and played Crysis 2 from start to finish . I've had a lot of time this weekend to think about the most impressive graphics I've seen and so have listed some of my thoughts below.
Mass Effect 3
Mass Effect has very polished graphics, nothing particularly fancy but very well done. They leave the environments feeling a little clean. That said, many of the environments are on board spacecraft so that's excusable. There hasn't been a huge change since the graphics of ME2.
Battlefield 3
I've commented in the past about BF3's stunning graphics (here). The real impact from the graphics in BF3 is the scale of the environments. The Back to Karkand expansion has highlighted the cleanliness of the original maps. The new additions feel much more detailed (which they are) while also benefiting from an improved ability to destroy everything!
Skyrim has been a huge game recently, again the most impressive aspect of the graphics is the shear size of the environment! It makes BF3 feel tiny! [Playing with the high res texture pack] The environment is filled with detail both indoors and outside.
Battlefield 3 / Last Week
So I got BF3 on the day it came out, installed asap, was amazed. The graphics, particularly in the campaign, are stunning. I decided I was going to play the campaign first to get a feeling for controls etc before taking on multi-player. I got about half way through the campaign before I tried it. It feels very similar to BF2 in game style so I was quick to get into it. I didn't play any of the Battlefield games in between so cannot comment on the evolution of the series.
I have to admit I'm not great. I will hold my hands up and admit at one point I googled around for advice on how to not to die so quickly... not that it particularly helped. One thing I could relate to was the large number of forum posts with people complaining about the fact they could empty entire clips into enemies who would fire only two shots back and kill them!
Turns out the answer is simple you need to shoot first and you need to shoot accurately. Obvious, yet this was my major problem. I had noticed when using a sniper rifle that despite getting an upgrade to allow reloading while aiming, I stopped aiming anyway. It made me pay more attention to what I was doing. I noticed I would often see the enemy first, I put that down to having fast computer, low ping and being observant. Problem was I would naturally then 'aim' (with scope) before shooting, accurate yes but not fast. By the time I had decided they were the enemy and started aiming they would have noticed me.
I then tried to avoid 'aimed' fire (ie shooting from the hip) and found that by starting the shooting that fraction of a second earlier makes a MASSIVE difference. Seems that getting the first hit to the chest is more effective on average then trying to get the first hit to the head. Obviously sometimes you get lucky and a bullet hits their head anyway making the whole process a lot quicker!
Anyway, once I had this realisation I became much more effective when running around.
At a similar time to this enlightenment I unlocked a 12x scope and bipod for my sniper rifle which dramatically increased my effectiveness at long range encounters.
The bipod allows the scope to be held perfectly still making lining up precise shots relatively easy. For the very long distance shots, the challenge becomes combining the delay for the bullet to travel and the bullet drop. The difference in height between the centre of the scope and the blood splatter shows the significant bullet drop over long range.
My longest headshot to date is 551m, while I enjoy trying to make this as large as possible I don't think it will increase much beyond this as the opportunity to make shots this long is so infrequent.

Down syndrome scenario in India
Down syndrome is the most common genetic disorder and in India. One in 750 people are born with Down syndrome. In a year we see 30-35,000 people with Down syndrome which is one of highest population in the world. Our medical experts in the field of Down syndrome are really playing a role where they are really positive which I think is one of the best things that have happened in the journey of 35 years.
We have a very empowered parent group and all over India we are now finding that the parents are no longer negative and they come forward with their issues very easily. The other important thing is when you look at India as against the entire globe, we can be very proud of ourselves. Our medical experts and the research papers that are being brought out in India are way ahead of peers that are being produced at least in Asia. We are working very hard for early intervention so that all babies receive the same type of intervention as soon as they are born. My request to the society is that it starts giving us the road into the particular section because if you cannot accept a 3 year old then you are never going to accept a 30 year old. So as long as the society opens up its minds and its ways, only then we will be comfortable and all our children in the future can be educated.
Down syndrome advancements and research in India
We are now promoting research in India. We had researchers but the problem is that everything can't be accepted as a research paper because it has to be scrutinized. We never had an umbrella on which down syndrome was actually being researched. Today we are encouraging the universities to open up subjects and the people are taking up major subjects whether it is advancement in social structure, education, inclusiveness or medical advancements. We are really very happy with the situation and we are encouraging youngsters to start doing research in the universities.
Down syndrome challenges in India
The only challenge we have is inclusiveness, because if we are included then early intervention can be handled very easily with more specialists in that field. Attitude is our biggest challenge. Our parents should be proud and bring their children out, understand that they are not to be shut away.
Future of Down syndrome
I am very positive about our children getting into society and I am giving myself another 10 years where the entire scenario is going to be changed. It is going to be so beautiful that the next generation with down syndrome will be involved in every field.

The group in a statement signed by its spokesman, Johnson Agbede and made available to the media stated that if urgent steps are not taken to normalise the situation things could go from bad to worse as workers in the agency do not know whom to take directive from.
Recall it has been over a week that operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commissions (EFCC) invaded NAMA and apprehended its top echelon, along with three others for alleged N5billion fraud leaving a vacuum in the helm of affairs and according to the group, since then the agency has been in a state of crisis.
The group lamented that leadership tussle is currently tearing NAMA apart following the appointment of two officials in Acting capacity in less than one week.
Tuesday, February 16, 2016, the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi had directed Mr Emmanuel Anasi, himself an Acting Director to again act as the MD/CE in the absence of the substantive CEO however shortly after the appointment the Ministry on Friday directed Akangson, the current Director of Human Resources who is the most senior director to take over as the Acting Managing Director.
According to the group, the appointment of Anasi did not go down well with the substantive directors in the agency who in turn petitioned the Ministry that the tradition of allowing the most senior director to act was not applied.
Following this development, the Coalition of Aviation Unions & professional Associations have called on the Minister of Transportation & the Minister of state to urgently intervene and save the agency from further crises by appointing a substantive Managing Director for the troubled Agency.
According to the group, "The huge financial scandal involving the management of NAMA is overwhelming for anybody to think he can come back to that office."
They said the organisation therefore requires a substantive CEO who will immediately settle down to business to re organise and reposition the agency for the urgently needed service delivery.
The Unions reminded the authorities to recall that last year and the previous year, they had complained about poor Communication and other navigational facilities in the country's airspace due to "corrupt practices in NAMA", but the previous government threw a blind eye to it, now they have been vindicated.
The Unions therefore calling on the government to act immediately in appointing a substantive Managing Director for the Agency to forestall imminent operational lapses that may occur and affect the safety of the Nigerian Airspace and indeed the safety of the flying public.

Somehow I don't quite think of sitting in a cold tank as being comfortable and certainly seems an odd path to health. However, this trend called cryotherapy is becoming very popular as Zawn Villin...
I recently read an article from Huffington Post where someone wrote in asking the question, "How long does it take for the food I ate to add weight to my body?" Before I tell you what Huffpost's answer was, I'll tell you what I think about me. Within five minutes! Ok, I know that's not true but after the great 2 slices of chocolate cake, it sure seems like it. Then, after eating it, I start getting upset with myself because I didn't really need the cake in the first place. I think that's called "comfort eating". Be honest, we all do it. Wouldn't it be great if we turned down the chocolate cake and said "No, I'd rather have 2 carrots"? If you do that, I am impressed and think you are extraordinary and I want to grow up to be like you.
Dr. David Katz is a Huffington Post Healthy Living contributor and director of the Yale University Prevention Research Center. His response to the question was, "By the time the residual waste of food is passing out of us, the usable parts have all been put to use — for energy expenditure, as heat generation, or placed into storage, as either glycogen [from carbohydrate], or fat."
According to the Mayo Clinic, the food we eat passes through our stomach and small intestines in about six to eight hours. Dr. Michael F. Picco states that "Elimination of undigested food residue through the large intestines usually begins after a total of 24 hours. Complete elimination from the body may take several days."
In medical school, we were taught a simple inexpensive test we could tell our patients to do at home to see how fast their metabolism worked. The test consist of eating cooked whole kernel corn. Mark down the date and time you ate the corn. Then, each time you go to the bathroom to poop, get up and look before flushing. The trick is to see how many days go by before you do not see any corn left in your poop.
The corn trick works because it has been found that normally we do not digest corn well, therefore it will go in us and come out whole. That's true, test it yourself. The other problem with corn is that it seems that it all is now genetically modified which I do not feel is healthy for us.
Try the corn trick and see how fast your metabolism is working. If it takes more than two or three days to get rid of the corn, supposedly that means you have a slow metabolism. If so, you may want to have your doctor check your thyroid to be sure it's not running too slow. You may also consider exercising a little like simple movement such as a short walk every day.
