See the second comment down? Well I had read this like 'this would be perfect for you and craig' but Tom pointed out that to him it looked like 'this is ACTUALLY your and craig's invite'. Leading him to think someone may have copied it and changed the text. Then fourth comment down originally made me think 'Oh she's just seen someone with a similar style' but now I read it like she has actually seen this invite elsewhere.
I've been thinking about this most of the morning as its really worrying me. Coping the invite and changing the text would be easily done. The only way to try and make it harder would be to put a water mark on this image. I am hesitant to do this as I think it spoils the image, and I want to still share my work online as I'm proud of it.
The other thing that makes the thought of it upsetting is that this was a custom invite for my sister and brother in law's wedding. I do create custom wedding invitations and am working on one at the moment. The process is very personal, my client emails me their ideas and we go back and forth to work on it until I have created something unique and special for their big day. It confuses me as to why someone would want to use someone else's wedding invite as surely its supposed to be special to you?
That being said its not as if I have actually seen my work being used or copied somewhere else but the potential for someone to do that is there for sure. I know of many artists that I admire that deal with people stealing their work on a regular basis and I guess maybe I was naive to think no one would do that to me?
SO my dilemma is do I watermark all my work to try and prevent these things? It would be a pain if truth be told and in my opinion make my work look a bit ugly..
Thoughts on the matter? I would love to know xoox

I would try for hours to fit some drunken revel in a sober piece about the iniquities of a Han empress... The reasoning is specious, perhaps even logical. And, yes, the Charyan culture has an imagery of brother and sister as lovers, derived from the a pair of gods, the Kirimandir, the Brother and Sister of the Kirimanya. They are the children of the god of fire and the goddess of excessive water, whose union was blessed by the god of fertility and water. The brother personifies water, the sister fire. They are the deities of agriculture, marriage, love and courtship. The curious thing is that some years after I wrote down the above song, I ran into Antoinet Schimmelpenninck's Chinese Folk Songs and Folk Singers, which describes a tradition absolutely not dissimilar to the northern folk song tradition. > Now such a translation would hardly set a Ge'arthnuns speaker's toes > a-tappin'.

That's entirely in keeping with the tradition - when singing you can get away with a lot you wouldn't date to put down in formal, poetry.

text: As I sit here writing my final blog for Corra Films, my head is swimming with all of the memories, experiences, and unexpected adventures I had over the course of the summer. How do I condense into a limited space, all that Corra Films has come to represent to me? I think back to Henry's advice as I began my internship, "jump in where you see a need, suggest solutions where you see problems, we are workers, not teachers"…I remember feeling more than a little trepidation, and thinking "what does that mean?" And now, as I come to the end of my internship, I recognize that those were gems of advice. The people at Corra were more than receptive in allowing me to jump in, and by doing so, I was given multiple opportunities to learn. I learned a great deal about the production and process of filmmaking, from the intricacies of telling a story, choosing a subject/location, lighting, editing & subtitling, to the practicalities of marketing and promotion. More importantly by being around the day-to-day environment of these "workers", I learned about motivation, commitment, and balance in life. In my last week, and as a parting gift, Henry was kind enough to take me and the crew out to lunch. As I sat at the table on that beautifully crisp summer day, and talked and laughed with those sitting around me, I felt like part of a family. I want the people at Corra Films to know that I will always appreciate how they made me feel included, and all that they have taught me. By being exactly the "workers" that they are, they turned out to be the very best of "teachers". Thank you, Corra Films. Though this is my final post, I will be following and supporting Corra Films for many years to come.

What to Expect During the Eyelid Surgery Recovery Process
By Dr. Fredric Newman on November 04, 2015
With the many advanced techniques employed by our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Fredric Newman, the post-operative recovery process from eyelid surgery can be minimal and less painful than ever before. As with any surgical procedure, the exact details of your recovery are dependent on your unique physical anatomy and the extent of treatment; however, we can give you a general idea of what to expect following the procedure.
When you come in for your initial consultation with Dr. Newman, he will talk with you about your needs and goals and explain all aspects of the eyelid surgery procedure. Ultimately, whether you have upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery, or both procedures performed in combination will have a direct effect on what you can expect during recovery. In most cases, patients are able to resume normal daily routines as early as a few days following surgery; however, many individuals choose to set aside at least one week before returning to work or engaging in social activities. Some degree of bruising and swelling in the treatment areas can be expected for several days after eyelid surgery. Blurry vision may be present due to a lubricating ointment that will be applied to the eyes.
One may experience excessive tearing, eye irritation, dryness, or sensitivity to light within the first few days of eyelid surgery. Symptoms should normally resolve after several days.
Please take a look at our Eyelid Surgery Recovery page for more details on the typical recovery process. If you would like more information, or if you would like to schedule a consultation with Dr. Newman to discuss your goals, please contact The Aesthetic Surgery Center today.

Scams are prevalent across the globe, and in Cambodia it's no different. It pays to be alert to avoid tainted travel experiences. Here are some common scams to look out for.
>>Why you should travel Cambodia right now? (Part 2)
The gambling scam
You're sat at a café or visiting a tourist attraction when you're approached by a friendly local who asks where you're from. When you tell them, they claim to have a relative who is gearing up to move to that country and would love to find out more. This is where the invite for dinner comes in. A gambling game will usually be going on as you arrive, which you will be invited to play – and, of course, lose. A harsher version of this sees visitors held at knife point if they refuse to play the game.
The visa scam
While efforts are being made to stamp out corruption across Cambodia, unfortunately there are some officials who have yet to clean up their act and often expect bribes at the borders before they will issue a visa (a one-month tourist visa on arrival is $30). However, another scam sees tourists approached by 'officials' as they head to the visa desk. They will be told additional paperwork, such as medical checks, are needed, which you will need to pay hefty fees for. These guys aren't officials and additional paperwork is not needed.
The motorbike theft scam
Many travellers hire motorbikes in Cambodia, because it's a cheap and easy way to get around. However, another common scam will see someone follow you for a few days before nicking the bike. This is done without raising suspicion since they will have a key to the bike lock provided by the rental place. You only have a few days left in the country – the rental place will have asked you when you leave – the police won't find the bike, and you'll be left forking out more than $1,000 to get your passport back. It pays well to go to a reliable bike rental shop or invest in your own padlock.
The take me home scam
This is aimed at men, and it doesn't always have to involve prostitutes. It goes a little something like this: Guy meets nice local girl in a bar who takes an interest in him. He takes her home expecting a night of fun but instead is drugged and robbed of everything in his room. The easy way to avoid this is to not take girls back to your hotel room.
The fake police officer scam
Another common con is locals pretending to be police officers, stopping tourists and demanding they hand over their passports. As soon as they've got them, they will demand a 'fine' to return it. It's probably not a good idea to walk around with your passport anyway, thanks to the bag snatching that is rife across the capital and other tourist hubs. Carry a photocopy instead. If you are stopped, ask to see their I.D. and be taken to the police station before handing anything over.
The milk scam
Seasoned travellers should know not to give to begging children, but buying a bit of food might be ok, right? Wrong. Here, you'll be approached by a poor mother or child who asks if you can buy some milk. They'll take you to a store – where the owner is in on the scam – and you'll end up paying ten times the price. As soon as you've disappeared, the milk will be returned to the store and the profits shared.

World Markets Live - August 11
We'll be updating you throughout the day with essential breaking news, data alerts, earnings reports and all the major market movements.
3rd & 7 37yd
3rd & 7 37yd
European markets lower as North Korea tensions intensify; Dixons down 7%CNBCEuropean stocks moved sharply lower on Friday morning as geopolitical tensions over North Korea intensified.
Saudi Arabia favours New York for the main foreign listing of state oil giant Aramco, even though some financial and legal advisers have recommended London as a less problematic and risky option, people familiar with the matter told. That's according to Reuters.A final decision on where to stage what could be the world's largest initial public offering will be taken by Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman - or MbS as he is known - who oversees the kingdom's economic and energy policies, the sources said.
Their comments point to internal disagreements between what some advisers are recommending and what the crown prince wants.
Germany believes the European Commission will propose quotas for electric cars in it next review of measures to cut emissions, a spokesman for the German environment ministry said on Friday.
The Commission said on Monday it had no plans to introduce quotas for electric cars for an automobile sector seeking to recover from the Volkswagen diesel scandal.
The German environment ministry spokesman said without quotas for electric cars the European Union could miss its carbon dioxide emissions targets.
Kerim Derhalli, CEO and founder of invstr, looks at the impact of North Korea tension on the dollarThe US dollar rallied strongly in late 2016 following the election of President Trump. The expectation was that the US economy would continue to out-perform the rest of the world at an accelerated pace. Since then, a number of factors have led to a significant weakening of the dollar, such as the lack of progress on Trump's domestic economic agenda, which has deflated expectations of a spurt in US growth.Political risk coming from the investigation into Trump's connection to Russian involvement in the US elections has tarnished the President's reputation domestically and internationally. A recovery in European growth has also narrowed the economic performance gap with America.The result has been a sell-off in the dollar to the lower band of the levels seen over the past two and a half years. With the prospect of a military conflict now looming in the Korean peninsula, continuation of the growth the US was exhibiting before the presidential elections and the prospect of further unwinding of loose monetary policy by the Federal Reserve, the dollar might well be set to resume its longer term upward path.
Britain's economy is likely to hold up despite uncertainty about Brexit, and the jobless rate will probably fall further, according to one of the two Bank of England policymakers who are pushing to raise record-low interest rates.
The test will come going forward, Michael Saunders told London's Evening Standard newspaper in an interview published on Friday.
The amount of spare capacity is much less now than in the past few years. So it follows from that it would be normal for the response of policy, if growth surprises on the upside, to be a bit more activist than it has been in the past few years.
However, Saunders also said that Britain's departure from the European Union meant the economy would probably grow more slowly in the coming years than it otherwise would have done.
"Maybe it might grow five percentage points less over the next 15 years. That's a fairly sizeable economic loss if that's the case. But that's over a long period of time," he said.
The dollar was pinned close to an eight-week low against the yen on Friday as escalating tension over North Korea dominated currency markets thinned out by the summer holidays in Europe and the United States.
The yen gained more than 0.2 percent in Asian time as investors took their money out of higher-yielding currency plays following another warning from President Donald Trump to Pyongyang.
This week was the 10 year anniversary of the beginning of the financial crisis in 2007. Thomson Reuters has released data comparing M&A activity this year compared to the start of the crisis.
- Worldwide announced M&A totals $1.96 trillion so far during 2017, down 33 percent compared to the same period in 2007 before the global financial crisis hit. The number of M&A transactions has declined 5 percent.
- Technology and consumer products & services are the only two sectors to see an increase in both M&A value and in number of deals compared to the pre-financial crisis period in 2007.
- China, Hong Kong and South Korea are now among the top 10 most acquisitive nations in the world, replacing Australia, Russia and Spain at this time in 2007.

Telecom Italia is defending Vivendi's role in the company. In a legal document sent to the Italian government, the company says Vivendi's involvement is now a breach of Italian rules on protecting strategic companies.Vivendi's role in Telecom Italia only relates to the company's management, does not require notifying the government and does not constitute grounds for triggering the government's veto power, according to Telecom Italia.This comes after speculation that Italian authorities may fine Vivendi for failing to disclose its effective control of Telecom Italia.
Snap shares continue to decline in premarket trade, down more than 12 percent.The shares fell sharply yesterday following its latest earnings report. Snap shares had an IPO price $17, but are now trading just above $12.Several finance firms cut their price target for the shares. Some, such as Monnes, Crespi and Hardt & Co, cut their rating on the stock to neutral.
The U.S. political climate is dampening international hiring activity, according to job recruitment website Hired.Research by the company found a 60 percent decrease in requests from U.S.-based companies to foreign workers in Q4 2016. In the last quarter, the number of requests decreased by 37 percent.Meantime, a large majority of respondents to the reports survey agreed that immigration brings more innovation and diversity to the tech industry. Here's how the report on tech hiring under President Trump concluded:Many of the insights in this post are a result of the current uncertainty characterizing the political landscape. During times of uncertainty, job seekers and employers tend to behave cautiously. The current administration's policies around immigration are still in limbo, so it's too soon to predict how they will impact the tech industry. What is sure, is that foreign talent is necessary to fuel innovation in tech and our mission will always be to connect companies with skilled talent, foreign or not.
U.S. July CPI inflation has come in at 0.1 percent versus zero change the month before. It was estimated to rise by 0.2 percent.Core CPI (excluding food and energy) came in at 0.1 percent, compared to 0.1 percent growth in June. It was also estimated at 0.2 percent.Energy prices fell 0.1 percent, while food prices grew 0.2 percent.Average weekly earnings rose 0.2 percent in July.
The disappointing CPI inflation data is dampening expectations that the Fed will raise rates this year. Fed fund futures indicate only a 40 percent chance of the Fed raising rates in December, versus 44 shortly before the data.Meantime, the dollar slipped against several world currencies, although it is now gaining against sterling.
Amazon has signed a deal with "The Walking Dead" creator Robert Kirkman and his company Skybound Entertainment to develop new television products for Prime Video."Robert is a gifted storyteller who shares our passion for elevated genre storytelling that pushes boundaries," said Sharon Tal Yguado, Head of Event Series, Amazon Studios."Robert and the team at Skybound are some of the most innovative and fearless creatives in the business. Together, we plan to explore immersive worlds and bold ideas for Prime Video."Kirkman said Amazon is the perfect home for his company.Their new foray into genre fiction has us at peak optimism for what can be accomplished during this unprecedented partnership. Sharon Tal Yguado has been an instrumental force in the success of Walking Dead and Outcast from day one.Being able to not only continue that relationship, but also expand it into new territory with the vast resources of Amazon, means great things are ahead for myself, David Alpert, Skybound and fans of awesome entertainment. Look out world, here we come!
Defensive stocks are performing well this week. Investors are seeking safety in companies such as Lockheed martin and Raytheon, as tensions between the U.S. and North Korea are fuelling expectations that more arms and military orders are likely to be made.Lockheed shares are up more than 2 percent this week.
U.S. inflation data is in focus today. CPI grew just 0.1 percent in July, under expectations of 0.2 percent.Inflation is soft yet again, but will rebound in August, according to Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics.This report will embolden Fed and market doves further, but it's a long time until December and by then we expect the core trend to be firmly re-established at 0.2%.We also expect sustained 200,000 payrolls, unemployment down to about 4% and faster wage growth, all of which will prompt the Fed to hike. The fed funds future puts the odds of a Dec hike at 36%, so it has a long way to move.Jim O'Sullivan, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, had a different take, saying core inflation was tamer than expected yet again.At 1.7%, the 12-month change in core prices was unchanged for the second month in a row, so there has been no further slowing, and it is essentially back to where it was two years ago, but the pace was as high as 2.3% earlier this year.Headline inflation has also slowed in the last few months, as the boost from oil prices has faded, although it was up a little in July.
The Philly Fed survey is released. It forecasts U.S. GDP growth in the third quarter of 2.6 percent, up from the previous forecast of 2.5 percent. Q4 growth is seen at 2.3 percent, slightly down from the last forecast of 2.4 percent.Q3 payrolls are seen growing on average by 186,400 per month and inflation is seen at 1.8 percent.The unemployment rate is seen falling to 4.3 percent in Q3 and 4.2 percent in Q4.
Global markets have finally begun to catch up with the worry that North Korea has aroused in people around the world, but two targets of communist dictatorship remain relatively unfazed.
South Korea, the country closest to Pyongyang's nuclear arsenal, and Guam, the U.S. island that dictator Kim Jong Un enjoys threatening directly, are both monitoring developments closely. But neither is is panicked by the rhetoric out of North Korea.
Kim Jong Un is trying hard to frighten two places in particular, and he's not fazing either oneCNBCThe dictator loves to spout off about South Korea and Guam. But both seem far from scared.
European markets continue lower as North Korea tensions intensify; Dixons down 7.3%CNBCEuropean stocks continued lower on Friday, on track for their worst weekly loss in nine months as geopolitical tensions over North Korea intensified.

10 Scary Clowns to Inspire Your Next Halloween Costume
Coulrophobia, the fear of clowns, is one of the most common phobias that people have. It's right up there with fears of spiders, heights, and even death. We can see why – who came up with the idea that weird, distorted faces covered in garish makeup could ever be anything other than horrifying?
"Hey, kid! Don't you like clowns?"
Fortunately, we're fans of horror, too. And clown costumes are always a big hit at Halloween, mostly because so many people hate clowns.
Obviously, the most popular deranged clown characters that people tend to take inspiration from are Harley Quinn and Joker – check out those links to learn more. But, for this list, we're going for something a little bit more sinister – we're talking about pure, unadulterated nightmare fuel.
So, who are the creepiest clowns of all time? If you're looking to put together a scary clown costume for Halloween, then let this list serve as the ultimate inspiration.
1. Twisty
American Horror Story: Freak Show
As one of the main antagonists from the fourth season of American Horror Story, Twisty is definitely one of the most popular scary clowns from recent years.
Originally a mild-mannered (but still super creepy) circus clown, Twisty attempted to shoot himself in the mouth with a shotgun after the other carnival workers drove him away. This left his jaw mangled and mutilated, an injury which he covers with a grinning mask.
2. Art the Clown
All Hallows' Eve
Ruthless Pictures
In All Hallows' Eve, Art the Clown is a demonic and homicidal clown that only appears on Halloween night to wreak havoc. Part of what makes Art look so scary to us is his stark black and white makeup. Almost mime-like in appearance, his face only sees splashes color when the blood of his victims splatters across it.
Director Damien Leone has also made two other horror films featuring the Art the Clown character, though they're not technically bound together as one series: The 9th Circle (2008) and Terrifier (2011).
3. Sweet Tooth
Twisted Metal
Sony Computer Entertainment
Want to know what's even scarier than a scary clown? A scary clown… on fire.
Twisted Metal is a series of combat driving games that first debuted in 1995. Basically, every stage is a massive demolition derby, complete with weapons galore and legions of bloodthirsty enemies. The last driver standing wins.
Sweet Tooth has been the face of the franchise forever. He drives an armored ice cream truck, and his backstory explains that he's "a circus clown who has escaped a mental institution." His flaming mask and classic clown makeup is one of the most intimidating sights in the game, and one of the most popular ones among fans.
4 & 5. Javier the Sad Clown; Sergio the Funny Clown
The Last Circus
Tomasol Films
The Last Circus (or Balade triste de trompeta) is a Spanish film that tells the story of two circus clowns whose personal rivalry over a woman's attention leads them down the path of insanity. In a more extreme version of the "Why so serious?" scene from The Dark Knight, one clown savagely beats the other with a trumpet and gives him a Chelsea grin. The other clown sears his own face with lye, to turn his skin white, and uses an iron to permanently burn scars in the shape of clown makeup onto his cheeks.
This one is a definite must-see for horror fans, but it's probably not a great date night movie.
6. The Killer Klowns
Killer Klowns From Outer Space
Sarlui / Daimant
Time to balance things out with something a little sillier. Killer Klowns is an '80s B-movie that's pretty much exactly what the title sounds like. Aliens (that look like clowns, because otherwise it wouldn't make any sense) arrive on planet Earth, dead-set on the eradication of the human race.
The thing that makes this movie really ridiculous, firmly cementing it as "so bad, it's good" masterpiece, is that the Klowns exclusively use circus-themed methods of execution (cotton candy death rays and deadly popcorn guns are just two of them). There aren't any of those spongy orange peanuts, though, which is weird, because trying to eat a bag those is like torture.
7. Killjoy
Big City Pictures, Full Moon Pictures
The Killjoy series is another B-movie horror franchise, debuting as direct-to-video in the early 2000s. It's not really "so bad, it's good," like Killer Klowns, though. It's kind of just "so bad." With a tagline like, "He's not clowning around…" you know exactly what you're getting into.
We're not here to critique the movies, though; we're here to talk about the costumes – and they're pretty sick. Bright red eyes, green makeup, and gnarled, pointed teeth make Killjoy one of the scariest clowns that there is, at least visually.
8. Captain Spaulding
House of 1000 Corpses
Spectacle Entertainment Group, Universal
In Rob Zombie's horror film House of 1000 Corpses, Sid Haig plays Spaulding, a crazy cartoon character that derives enjoyment from death. He's almost happy-go-lucky when it comes to killing, which honestly makes the whole thing even creepier.
His penchant for violence isn't actually explained, even though he kills a couple of burglars that try to rob his gas station. He directs the main characters of the film to the Firefly family of killers, of whom Spaulding is revealed to the leader, in The Devil's Rejects.
9. Kefka Palazzo
Final Fantasy VI
Square Enix
This one might be a little bit out of left field if you're not big into video games, but just trust us.
On the outside, Kefka looks like a Medieval or Renaissance court jester, complete with period costume, white makeup, and just a hint of crazy eyes. On the inside, he is nihilistic, psychopathic, and legitimately insane. Fortunately, and especially when combined with the creepy outfit, these are some of the best personality traits a video game villain can have.
In Final Fantasy VI, Kefka's reign of terror includes events such as murdering his emperor to overthrow the kingdom, murdering an entire town with poisoned water (just for funsies – yes, really), and murdering about half of the planet's population when he actually succeeds in his classic bad guy plan of destroying the world.
10. Pennywise the Dancing Clown
Stephen King's IT
Lorimar Productions, DawnField Entertainment
You knew we weren't going to leave out the classic, holy grail of creepy clowns.
Master of horror Stephen King created Pennywise in one of his best-known works, the 1986 novel It, and Tim Curry's portrayal of the character in the 1990 miniseries is what really started to popularize the whole "scary clown" trope.
One common misconception about Pennywise, though, is that it's the actual monster in the story. The "It" monster is a nebulous, shape-shifting being, and Pennywise is just the form it uses to lure children into its fangs.

Georgia is extremely talented and a wonderful person to have with you on the morning of your wedding. She has a naturally calming personality and instantly made me feel relaxed when she arrived.

There are many materials that offer great properties, but do not inherently have some properties that may be beneficial for a certain application. For example, silicone sponge offers great compression set and heat resistance. What silicone sponge does not generally offer is great EMI/RFI shielding. This is where wire mesh may come in handy. If an application requires an environmental seal as well an EMI/RFI shield, wire mesh in parallel orientation with an elastomer is available from NEDC. The wire mesh/elastomer can provide EMI/RFI shielding while providing the excellent qualities of the elastomer and the durability of the wire mesh.
There are a few different types of elastomers available with different types of mesh, in different orientations as well. Some of the elastomers that are available include silicone sponge, Neoprene® sponge, polyurethane foam (Poron®), solid silicone, and solid Neoprene®. The different elastomers and grades available are shown in the table below. The description of the elastomers does not guarantee an availability to a certain elastomer with a certain type of mesh.
|Solid Neoprene®
|MIL-R-6855, Class 2, Grade 40
|Solid Silicone
|A-A-59588 Class 2, Grade 40 (Formerly ZZ-R-765)
|Silicone Sponge (Closed cell only)
|AMS 3195, Condition(s): (Medium)
|Neoprene® Sponge (Closed cell only)
|ASTM D6576 (formerly MIL-R-6130), Type II, Grade A
Temperature Range: -30 to 100 C
Condition(s): Medium
|Polyurethane Foam
There are several types of elastomers that are currently available, along with certain types of wire mesh. There is steel, aluminum, silver monel, tin plated copper, and regular monel wire. Wire mesh is available in a large variety of forms. These forms include wire knitted around elastomer extrusion, sheet stock, and gaskets. As always, we offer pressure-sensitive adhesives. NEDC can laminate materials in house with silicone or acrylic non-conductive or conductive pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA).
NEDC is a recognized supplier of wire mesh gaskets for industries ranging from aerospace to energy markets. NEDC can offer wire mesh elastomers as converted parts, such as die-cuts, waterjet cuts, and assembled parts. For more information on wire mesh gaskets please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

Trailblazers: Gregory Lennon
To meet Gregory Lennon is to have the experience of reconnecting with a dear friend. Whether in a crowded classroom debate or a one-on-one conversation, his kindness, sincerity, and intentionality shine through every interaction. In this Trailblazers feature, Gregory speaks openly about his journey to sobriety and offers guidance and encouragement for anyone seeking to make a meaningful change. Read on for the story of Gregory's new beginning…
How did you know it was time to make a change?
In 2002 I was living in Chicago. My work brought accolades from my superiors, promotions, and bonuses. I was on the guest list at every nightclub in town. My friends were fabulous, and in some cases famous. It was glamour by association. But I was miserable and plagued by thoughts of suicide. In one surprisingly lucid moment, I told my mother that I had been neglecting myself physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I wanted her to tell me to join a gym, get a therapist, and maybe recommend another self-help book for my ever-growing collection. Instead, she said that all real growth begins with a spiritual path. I took another drink.
Weeks later I met a friend for Sunday brunch. Mimosas turned to bottles of champagne. We sat in my living room after a particularly long day of drinking, where she complained about how difficult her life had become. People treated her badly; it seemed the entire world was against her. She had droned on for hours, and I couldn't take any more. The words just erupted, "When are you going to get it? You're an alcoholic and drug addict! You bring all of this on yourself!" She turned to me with a chilling calm, pointed a finger at my chest, and replied, "And YOU are just like me."
I was struck sober, a searing pain in my head, and an indescribable emptiness in my gut. By Wednesday the burden of this truth became too much to bear alone. I sat at my kitchen table, and the phone book literally fell open to a substance abuse hotline. I thought it was Divine Providence. Only later would I find out how often my ex had scored the page in hopes that I might one day find it. That afternoon, I found myself in a room with people just like me, telling their stories, giving me hope. Here I embarked on a spiritual path that is my journey of recovery.
What gave you the confidence you needed to move forward?
I found a beginner's sort of desperate faith in twelve-step recovery meetings. Here was a group of people who said that they had suffered as I had – as I was. They offered suggestions and support, but what was more important, they offered the power of example. If I could believe that they were able to live sober, purposeful, happy lives, perhaps there was hope for me.
Each day offered a new challenge – a new 'first sober [fill in the blank]'. There was the first sober Pride parade, first sober company Christmas party, eventually the first sober date, and the first sober break-up. With each experience, I reminded myself that I would never have to do that for the 'first' time again.
A man who had been sober for what seemed like an eternity at the time – ten years – would ask me how I was every time we met. In the beginning I would lodge my complaints about life, work, and how difficult everything seemed now that my senses were clear as a clarions. His response was always, "Don't worry... This too shall pass." I ran into him one evening, at about three months sober. Again, he asked how I was. My week had been fantastic. Work, home, not a cloud in the sky. I told him how well I was doing, and he responded, "Don't worry... This too shall pass." I was flummoxed. Years later, this lesson in impermanence would start to make sense. With every challenge met grew the conviction that I could walk through the next.
Who/what inspires you today?
I am drawn to people who have chosen an unconventional path, particularly those who have placed service to others ahead of their own needs, or who have surmounted seemingly impossible circumstances to achieve their dreams.
One example is recording artist and actress Aziza Brahim who was born in an Algerian refugee camp. Inspired by poems recited by her grandmother, she found relief from the grueling daily existence of the camps in music. She was rejected when she tried to attend a music school, but continued to write and perform, soon receiving awards for her music. Just this year, Aziza's music has topped the World Music Europe charts three times. She now uses her music as a platform to promote tolerance and fight against social injustice.
I am inspired by people I meet virtually every day. Early this spring, while skiing in Utah, I met an instructor we'll call "Chuck". He had the clear, smiling-eyed look of a monk, and the distinct accent of a Chicago south-sider. While riding up a very long lift, he told me his story. Several years earlier, when he and his wife were both in their early 40s, their teenaged son expressed and interest in skiing and showed great potential. After a bit of research, Chuck and his wife left lucrative careers in Chicago to move to Salt Lake City where his son could train. Chuck said it was the best decision of his life, and this was evident in his patient, supportive manner with his students. He works full time as a ski instructor, lives a simple life, and has found fulfillment that he never expected previously.
Inspiration comes when I am open. This could be in line at the supermarket, or while sitting with a guru. It is less about the story one has to tell, and more the ability and willingness to listen.
What are you dreaming about now?
This year I set an intention of alignment, not only the physical alignment of my yoga asana practice, but the alignment of my career and daily life with my values and authentic self. As a result of this intention, I completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training in April, and left my job of the last 13 years to pursue working in wellness and sustainability full time. My dream is to help others to journey inward, to consider daily choices, and to live in better harmony in the world and with all of its inhabitants.
What is the best piece of advice you have received?
Twelve-step recovery is filled with borrowed sayings that resonate, but there are a few that were particularly resonant in my early sobriety and continue to guide my decisions today:
Several years ago, I heard of the Sufi tradition of the four gates of speech in a yoga class. This had a profound affect on the way that I communicate to this day. The tradition advises us to speak only after our words have managed to pass through four gates. At the first gate, we ask ourselves, "Are these words true?" At the second gate we ask; "Are they necessary?" At the third gate we ask; "Are they beneficial?" and at the fourth gate, we ask, "Are they kind?" If the answer to any of these is no, then what you are about to say should be left unsaid.
What do you know now that you wish you would have known when you started?
My journey is what it is, and I know that this moment is exactly as it is meant to be. Nothing could have been different in bringing me to this point. However, the single most beneficial change I have experienced in the last decade was developing a daily meditation practice. I could not have anticipated the affects in nearly every aspect of my life, and the virtually unshakable sense of well-being that would come as a result of quieting my mind for a few minutes each day.
What encouragement can you offer someone who wants to make a change but is apprehensive?
Whatever challenge you face, there are others who have successfully walked through it. Seek them out. Learn from their actions. Find faith through their experience. And, when the time comes, offer the benefit of your experience to others in need. There is a purpose in your journey.
What book(s) have provided guidance or inspiration for your New Beginning?
Here is a list of books that I found particularly inspirational. It is in no particular order, and is in no way complete:
Teacher, aspiring writer, and inspired soul navigating the journey of life.

We don't just hear, we really do listen – but above all, we respect our customers and their needs, providing accurate information, following scripts and making sure whoever calls us hears the smile in our voice.
Quality is not something that happens by chance !
It is the result of careful planning, paired with innovative technology and well developed skills.
It is common knowledge that our business world is subject to the consequences of an ongoing process of companies and markets becoming less national and more international day by day, as a direct effect of globalization. This also applies to our customers and then again to their customers, creating special needs when it comes to the customer relationship management.
Companies which have clients in different locations around the globe, speaking various languages and with different multicultural backgrounds, are well advised to implement International Customer Care and Dialog in order to permanently keep in touch with all their clients and markets. By doing so, they ensure the international growth of their business, are able to expand more easily into new markets and thus manage to keep up with their global acting competitors.
International Customer Care and Dialog can be implemented successfully if there is a display of high level of professional language skills and intercultural competence, combined with the general rules of high quality Customer Care.
LUATEL already conducts International Customer Care and Dialog on a day to day basis. We have a vast expertise of planning and implementing International Customer Care and Dialog to the highest level of service and quality. Another asset that speaks for us is our technical flexibility, which allows us to implement complex Call Center Services on an international level upon short notice. Therefore, LUATEL manages to offer an immediate response as an Overflow or Back up Call Center with diverse language profiles.
Our philosophy, our staff and our client base are already international, so what we offer is what we have already successfully implemented for and within ourselves.
Hear the smile in our voice!
Communication has never been made so available and easy to access – still, every generation sticks to its preferred ways of communication, be it a handwritten letter or instant messaging. However, a real conversation – voice to voice – remains irreplaceable, while emails have pushed aside paper and short messaging or social media have attempted to dominate it all.
Technological progress is fast, and we value the changes it brings; nevertheless, no matter where it might take us, we still believe that there will always be the moment where a voice-to-voice conversation will be essential – and at this very moment, should the conversation be handled by us, you will always hear the smile in our voice.
To be always one step ahead when it comes to identify the next upcoming trend in communication. We focus not only on identifying new communication channels, but also on integrating them into our processes and work flows, without losing contact with the basis.
To design our communication channels portfolio in a way as to enable us to represent our clients at any time and with the best possible customer service, and stay tuned.
To make sure our CRM experts understand our customer's needs, thus creating call flows that reach every agreed-upon goal.
Customers Our customers are precious to us. What purpose would all our know-how, all our skills and all of our technology serve – if there is no one we can share it with so as to generate business and added value? To us, our customers are not simply customers – we see them as partners. We care for them, we look out for them and we strive to always protect their interests. On the other hand though, we expect them to perceive us as being not more than their mere service provider and to see themselves as customers, with all rights to demand, request and expect.
Transparency We believe transparency to be one of the utmost essential bricks when building trust. And trust is one of the utmost essential bricks when building a business relationship. Therefore being transparent is part of our philosophy and part of our daily business routine. You will always know when, where, how and why.
Confidentiality We take the protection of your information very seriously.

Understanding your prescription
Your prescription is split into three sections, Sphere, Cylinder and Axis. You will most commonly see this written as, Sph, Cyl and Axis.
There are simple rules for each part of the prescription
Sphere – Is always a number in 0.25 jumps (i.e. 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25). This can either be written in minus or plus (- or +).
IMPORTANT: You must select the correct symbol when ordering (minus or plus, – or +) as selecting the wrong sign will create the completely wrong prescription required to correct your vision.
Cyl – Is always a number in 0.25 jumps (i.e. 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25). This can either be written in minus or plus.
IMPORTANT: You must select the correct symbol when ordering (minus or plus, – or +) as selecting the wrong sign will create the completely wrong prescription required to correct your vision.
Axis – Is a number between 0 and 180, it can also be written to point five (0.5) of a degree. This simply happens if the optometrist can't decide wether you prefer for example 79 or 80 so they simply write your axis as 79.5. In this case lets get your glasses as accurate as possible so please provide us with the 79.5.
The in instances when a prescription doesn't have a value for the Cyl section please leave the Axis blank (or some opticians write this as 0.00), the Axis is indicating what degree the Cyl figure sits at so if there is no Cyl there is no Axis required.
Other symbols which are often seen written in a glasses prescription
Infinity Symbol ∞ – this is another way of writing zero (no prescription) so simply select 0.00 into the corresponding section for either sphere or cyl.
Plano – this is another way of writing zero (no prescription) so simply select 0.00 into the corresponding section for either sphere or cyl.
Varifocals – What is the Add (Addition) part of my prescription?
You typically start to get the add part to a prescription when you hit 40+ and it is a measure of the amount of magnification you require to read.
The add is a plus (+) power which identifies how much extra addition (magnification) a glasses wearer requires (on top of their distance prescription) in order to read comfortably at close up distances, such as reading.
NOTE: Sometimes an optician will write your prescription for reading as a full prescription rather than simply supplying your reading add.
Right: -2.50 / -0.50 x 180
Left: -2.00 / -0.75 x 175
Right: -1.00 / -0.50 x 180
Left: -0.50 / -0.75 x 175
Reading Add = +1.50
In this case to get your reading add take your distance Prescription Sphere off your reading Shere. The difference between the two figures is your reading add used for Varifocals.
Let our Dispensing Optician Measure your Pupil Distance accurately
For the Pupil Distance options on the ordering pages select 'Let Extreme eyewear measure your PD' and we'll post you our specially designed glasses.
(Note: On some projects the PD option will state 'send ruler' this option will still get you the new PD Measuring Glasses)
All you have to do is take a simple photo of you wearing our glasses and emailing your photo to us.
Our Dispensing Optician will then accurately take your mono pupil distances. Our PD glasses allows our dispensing opticians to gain all the details they need to set up single vision and varifocal sunglasses / eyewear accurately.
Let us supply you with perfect vision.
This service is free for all prescription eyewear orders.
What is your PD?
Your Pupil Distance is the measurement between the centre of your right and left pupils in mm.
How can you find out your Pupil Distance?
- You maybe lucky enough to have been given this by your optician
- You can select to have our Pupil Distance measuring glasses posted to you. These will leave us on the same day you place an order 1st class post.
Why have we gone to the trouble of supplying PD Glasses?
Prescription glasses and sunglasses always work better when the centre of the optical lens is over your pupil. Not having this set up correctly can cause head aches and limit how well the glasses will work.
Varifocal Wearers
If you don't know your Mono Pupil Distances (this is two separate measurements for your right and left pupils) we strongly advise you select to have our PD Glasses posted to you. Varifocals with out mono pupil distances will not work correctly.
If you know your Mono Pupil Distances during the checkout there is a comment box, please write your right and left mono pupil distances in this comment box.
A pupil distance of 65 may have mono pupil distances of
Right 33
Left 32
Your total PD is still the same (65) But by using the separate mono pupil distances the centre of the varifocals will be positioned over your pupils making sure the clear corridor leading to your reading is in the correct position.
How do I receive PD Measuring Glasses?
In the PD options select 'Let Extreme eyewear measure your PD'. The Digital ruler will be posted out on the same day as your order is placed to your shipping address supplied. (If your order comes in after 4.00pm the ruler will leave us the next day)
Abroad Orders
We will post the PD Measuring Glasses abroad but please allow a little more time to complete your order. The PD measuring glasses may take up to a week to get to abroad addresses.

A much-loved former Big Issue vendor will bring another ray of sunshine to her home city of Glasgow this week when she opens a solo art show in a city centre gallery.
Jo Adamson had many regular customers when she sold The Big Issue outside Central Station and on Byres Road in Glasgow.
She was always known for her creativity – singing as she sold the paper – but now she is inspiring her former colleagues by starting her own visual art business, despite being partially sighted.
Jo sells her work through her Etsy store, Jo Sunshine Art, where her subjects range from Scottish football and snooker to cats and Motörhead.
"All I want is for my pictures to get out there and for people to have them hanging up that will enjoy them. I don't do depressing pictures. I just do cheerful ones," said Jo, speaking to INSP as she supervised the hanging of her exhibition in CASS Art on Queen Street.
"This exhibition is fabulous, it has given me an opportunity to get my name known and get my work out there."
Jo initially doubted whether she would be able to continue drawing after leaving The Big Issue, as her sight continued to worsen.
"Since I left The Big Issue I didn't think I could draw anymore because I'm almost blind. I only have a misty blur in this eye, that's all I've got," she explained.
"It's so misty I can't even recognise people. I can't read bus numbers, nothing. But I got my crayons and at first I said 'I can't do this,' but I thought I should keep trying and keep doing it anyway."
Drawing is an enormously important part of Jo's life, she said. "I spend about £50 a fortnight on materials and it's amazing how it all adds up, but I wouldn't do without it. It gives me a real life, and keeps me very busy."
Jo's pictures are bright and colourful, drawn on large expanses of coloured paper. This simple yet ingenious method means she can still enjoy drawing.
"The wax shines at me a wee bit and that's how I do it. I'm close up and I concentrate on what I'm doing. So I draw it, outline it, colour it in, and outline it again," she said.
"Some of them are rubbish – I know that – but I do my best and it's amazing how they turn out sometimes. I'm quite proud of what I have done."
Since she cannot see her own creations, Jo relies on other people to describe the pictures back to her.
"I don't really see them properly, even. Other people do and they go, wow!" she smiled.
Jo also accepts commissions. In the Big Issue's Glasgow distribution office, they proudly display a one such picture. 'Make My Day (Big Issue)' portrays a vendor selling the magazine.
A large picture of Glasgow's famous Trongate, one of the oldest streets in Glasgow, will feature in the exhibition. The area holds special memories for Jo.
"That's just from my mind because to get to the Big Issue office I passed it every day," she explained. "It's a very strong image in my mind. I have photographed it and tried to draw it but it's not so easy, yet I can draw it from memory because it is one of those iconic places for me."
Jo's work will be on show at CASS Art on Queen Street in Glasgow from 19 March for two weeks, with pictures on sale with a top price of £20. You can view Jo's art on her Facebook and Twitter pages, and buy her work on her Etsy shop.

The function of Scheduling a Regular Campaign (Broadcast) is quite straight forward and is based on the Timezone setting you select in the Account Settings for your SR V. account. So if you live in NewYork and you selected GMT-4.00 – America/New York and you set a Campaign to go out at 08:00 the it would go out at 08:00 New York time, ( GMT-4). Someone in Sydney would have selected GMT+10 – Australia/Sydney and if they set a Campaign to go out at 08:00 it would go out at 08:00 Sydney time, (GMT+10). So even though both were set at 08:00 they would go out 14 hours apart.
One thing that HAS to be remembered is that if Scheduling a Campaign, even for later in the same day, you MUST select Date in the date picker to access the settings for Hours and Minutes.
Campaigns > Update Campaign > Details > Setup > Template > Confirmation gets you to the view below.
You then click "Send Campaign" – as below.
It is then queued to sent at the Date/Time selected and is shown as such in "Campaigns" view as below.

Poundstretcher recalls Disney cookies
Poundstretcher is recalling tins of Disney Choc Chip Cookies due to the presence of undeclared milk.
The recall affects 150g tins with a best-before date of 8 August 2017. The cookies contain milk, but this is not mentioned on the product label, meaning they pose a risk to people with a milk intolerance or allergy.
The cookies are produced by Jacobsens Bakery, a large Danish manufacturer and exporter of biscuit products.
On its website, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) said: "This product contains milk, making it a possible health risk for anyone who is allergic or has an intolerance to milk or milk constituents.
"If you have bought the above product and have an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents, do not eat it. Instead, return it to the store from where you bought it for a full refund."
According to the FSA, no other Poundstretcher products are known to be affected.

PDAs have been around for a long time and though I have used a lot of different ones I have avoided getting too attached to any of them. My life consists, at any given time, of dozens of little notes; whether they are scraps of paper, scrawled on the back of a catalog, or one of the many Untitled*.txt files that cover my desktop this is how my ideas are organized. I have always taken the "its my mess and I like it like this" approach even though I knew this situation could be improved upon.
Lately the mess of notes has been bothering me more than usual so I devided to break down and pick up a PDA. I chose to go with the Tungsten T5, the flagship offering from the company whose name is synonomous with this product. I figured I would use the product religiously for one month to see if I liked it better than my old, analog solution.
Though I was told the T5 did not offer many advantages over the older T3 I figured if I was going to do it, I might as well do it right and get the newest one out there. With features like integrated BlueTooth and "Drive Mode" I was more than a bit excited that the prospect of living a more organized life.
Before we get into how my trial with the product went we should look at some specs and see what this product is really made of. The first thing palmOne says about this product is how it has 256MB of storage; this fact is littered all over the press kit, the manual, the web site, where ever I looked. This is pretty impressive but every time I read it I noticed a superscript number right after the storage figure. The footnotes informed me that the "Actual Memory" available to users is 215MB, 160MB internal flash and 55MB of program memory for apps and data.
The T5 also uses a new drag-and-drop file system which works with the Documents to Go program which makes file transfers easier and quicker than ever. Using the USB connection and Drive Mode the T5 can be made into a USB storage device, which is plug-and-play with any other computer out there, regardless of them having Palm software installed or not.
The unit itself is 4.76″ x 3.08″ x 0.61″ and weighs in at just 5.1 oz. This means that it can fit in you designer jeans or jacket pocket without difficulty. It uses a 320×480 Transflectiver TFT display which is touch sensitive, supports over 65,000 colors, and will put your color cell phone to shame. It is powered by a 416Mhz Intel Xscale processor. The T5 supports MultiMediaCard, SD, and SDIO expansion cards.
The Palm desktop software is version 4.1 and comes with lots of programs which do much to justify the cost of the PDA. In addition to what you would expect, like a notepad, calender, calculator, contact list, memo pad, web browser, and mail program there are useful programs like a media player for pictures and video, a Real player which supports MP3s, and a nice suite of everyday programs, like those from MS Office and Adobe's Acrobat. Using the included software it is really easy to add applications that you may need or prefer, chances are these are just going to be games though…
Navigation on the T5 is done using the including stylus or the 5-way Navigator which is composed of two buttons at the bottom, middle of the front of the PDA. The stylus is made of a hefty and lustrous stainless steel which is accurate and quick, so much so that the Navigator button does not get used as much as I would have thought. Even so, the button is quick and capable. Also on the front of the T5 are four hot keys, Home (Favorites, if pressed when at Home), Calender, Contacts, and Files. These are pretty useful though, like the 5-Way Navigation they are generally underutilized once you get used to navigation with the stylus.
One of the most interesting features of this product is the Drive Mode, whic is also sometimes known as "Guest Mode". When the T5 is put in this mode and then plugged into the computer it will be recognized by your OS as two additional drives. The first drive is the 160MB internal flash drive which you can store files in using the File Transfer program or the Drive Mode, they are basically the same thing save for the fact that the Drive Mode can be used on any computer. The second drive recognized by your computer is the expansion card, so the T5 acts as a SD card reader.
It was a bit confusing at first but with some reading it has been made clear that the other 55MB of storage (the program memory) is updated during synchronization but it cannot be accessed using the Palm's Files application, Drive Mode, or the File Transfer program.
Another new feature is the T5's Favorites view. This is essentially a second home page which allows for four tabbed pages, each holding links to eight separate applications. This way you can get to your favorite or most used programs as quickly as possibe. You can easily configure the where each application goes, though the purpose of this page is somewhat defeated by the fact that there are four pages, making the links not on the first pages just as inaccessible as they would be on the Home page. The best use I could find for this was to put my four or five most used programs right up front and then accessing them with this instead of sorting through the Home page. This would also be useful for quickly switching from a game of "Battleship" to reading a PowerPoint lecture when your boss walked in the room, to use a more realistic example.
Another improvement featured on the T5 is Docs to Go 7.0. This handy programs features native support for Microsoft's ubiquitious Word, Excel, and PowerPoint formatted documents. With this you can read, create, and edit Excel and Word files on the go. It should be noted that PowerPoint documents can only be viewed.
The T5 is powered by an internal, rechargeable Lithium Polymer batttery. This battery cannot be accessed without removing the backplate from the PDA, which would require a very small torx wrench and would void your warranty. The battery is rated at 1250mAh and is said to last for about a week of "normal handheld" use. This phrase is not too clear so we will be doing some investigating into this later on.
My first impression of the T5 was very good. The unit is very nice looking as it has done away with silly blue paint or cheap-looking brushed aluminum exteriors and picked up a handsome gun-metal grey finish. This looks much better and more classy than most of the previous iterations of the PDA, though it does tend to accumulate fingerprints and smudges more readily than a painted exterior. The T5 is cleverly shaped such that it bows in at its middle. This makes the PDA more aesthetically appealing and easier to hold.
One feature that I really liked at first was the ability to switch between portrait and landscape mode of viewing. At the press of one of the permanent hot buttons at the bottom of the OS the modes can be seamlessly switched. At first I was a big fan of this mode but then I started to notice some things, especially that the T5 is harder to hold and that the on-screen keyboard switches to alphabetic order, instead of its normal Qwerty configuration. The Landscape view mode has some uses but it certainly no replacement for portrait mode. The other buttons on located with this one are Home, Find, Menu (same as your computer's Alt), System Info (doubles as a clock), Alert, BlueTooth, Full-Screen Writing, and Input.
One of the features which really sets the T5 apart from other PDAs is the displays. Not only does the transflective TFT display look surprisingly bright and crisp but is takes up nearly all of the Palm so the entire package looks that much better, just as a computer display with a thin bezel look better than one with a thicker bezel. Text is just about as crisp as a screen this size can get- it is highly legible but perhaps not as small as it could be. Images look very nice, though as with the screen of any other PDA they are somewhat jaggy and falter a bit when featuring complex images, like a large Lorenz pattern.
Exploring the T5 a bit I found a number of the reasons why people buy these. The applications that come with the Palm OS are finely-tuned and work suprisingly well. My favorite is the Blazer web browser which does not appear to be much at first but is much better than Pocket Internet Explorer. The included SMS program allows you to send text messages through your phone and the Versamail email client is easy to configure and highly competent.
Its no surprise that the palmOne T5 has a lot of potential and great features but a many of the most useful ones require some sort of connection to a communicative devise, like a router or your cell phone. The T5 has integrated BlueTooth, which is a nice thing to have considering its growing popularity, but no Wi-Fi. I am sure a lot of you are cringing in horror and revulsion right now, but it is irrefutable, the four hundred dollar T5 does not come standard with any sort of wireless fidelity. This means that internet connectivity at your favorite coffee house or library is going to be severly limited unless you invest in a Wi-Fi enabling SD card, which will cost a bit over a hundred dollars.
Connecting the T5 with a BlueTooth-enabled cell phone is very easy using the PDA's built-in connection guide. I did just this with a Sony-Ericsson T630 and played around a bit to check out out what the BlueTooth connectivity offers. I used the Dialer application which simply dials the phone from the T5, the SMS, which allows you to send text messages from your PDA, and then the Blazer, which is the built-in browser. I was very happy with the results and the T5 handled itself quite nicely, never getting bogged down with incoming/outgoing material, or becoming too confusing to operate easily. Setting up Versamail took a few minutes but once this was down checking my could be done almost effortlessly. I really appreciated that I could choose to not have my mail deleted off the server, which makes sense as the T5 will probably not be your primary tool for sending/receiving email.
As with most other PDAs, setting up your BlueTooth to connect with my computer was pretty difficult. This is not impossible but the two do just not play together well. This is almost entirely a moot point though because you should be using your USB sync cable to connect to your computer anyway.
The lack of including Wi-Fi is especially troubling, not just because you have to spend over a hundred dollars to buy an Wi-Fi enabling expansion card, but because without the card you are left to rely on BlueTooth. This means that you need a BlueTooth capable phone and that you should have a wireless plan that takes internet use into account. If you do not do this you will have to pay exoribant rates for text-messaging and kilobytes downloaded. This makes the lack of Wi-Fi even worse because if you refuse to add 25% to the cost of the T5 you are forced to pay for it each month in your cell phone bill.
Moving on to a lighter subject I examined the top of the T5. Here I found an SDIO slot, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a power button, and the stylus. All this was very standard, SD being the media of choice for most PDAs and 3.5mm being the normal size for a headphone in a device this size. The stylus can be slid out of the top of the T5; in its slot the stylus is very secure yet easily accessible. While examining the stylus I noticed it is composed primarily of metal which gives it a great feel, though the chromed surface could be slippery if you are wearing gloves. The black plastic top of the stylus can be screwed off in case you need a small point to press the T5's recessed reset button.
During further use I thought more about the 160MB of internal storage and the 55MB of application storage. While 55MB is probably more than you will ever need it seems like a small amount because if you want to store lots of extra data you will probably use an SD card, instead of the PDA's Drive Mode which is a bit clumsy. Also when it comes down to it, 160MB may be a lot for a PDA but you can purchase a 256MB flash memory key for about $30 dollars and the price of large SD cards are rapidly dropping quickly enough that I can't see Drive Mode being used too much.
I labelled the Drive Mode as "clumsy" because to use it you have to put the T5 in the right mode and then plug it in. During this time you cannot sync the PDA so you have to shutdown drive mode and then resume your normal sync activities to do so. All told Drive Mode is a step in the right direction for Palm, but it is still lacking compared the operation of Pocket PCs in this respect.
The battery life of the T5 was not the best I have seen, but certainly was nothing to scoff at. The PDA lasted for about four hours and twenty minutes of use with BlueTooth off and the backlight on maximum. This is a pretty standard setup and it should last the average user about a week, depending on how much tinkering you do and how dependent you are on the device. With the backlight on minimum and BlueTooth we were able to squeeze about five hours of continuous use out of the T5.
As those with mobile experience know, BlueTooth has a large effect on battery life. When testing the T5 with BlueTooth on continuously the battery drained a good deal quicker but it still stuck in there for about four hours (backlight on maximum). We were not using it to connect to another device the entire time, but it was searching for one.
While the T5 is off the battery hardly drains at all. This most likely has to do with how the RAM is maintained but the end result is a very much extended battery life over older models.
During the time that I used the Tungsten T5 I really grew to enjoy having it around- its infinitely superior to scrawling notes on scraps of paper and shoving them messily into my pocket. But this is true of any PDA, so what makes the T5 special? First of all the T5 is one of the most powerful PDAs available. Not only does this mean its processor has no problem handling large files quickly but also that the PDA can do more than many others out there. Aside from doing everything you would expect, the T5 can do tasks like play MP3 music, show your photos, and play video files.
The easy of use of the Palm OS is staggering. Most people, even first time users, will have no troubling becoming adjusted to the system or integrating it into their life, which is what PDAs are all about. Also, the T5 features superb design – it looks really great, does not heat up, is comfortable in your hand, and has a high quality display.
As much as I liked the T5 is does have some considerable downsides. Aside from the lack of out-of-the-box Wi-Fi, Palm overlooked a few other things with the model. These are generally small things, like choppy video playback (which can be fixed with some aftermarket software) and the lack of support for AAC and WMA music files, but these small things add up. Some other problems were the limited number of BlueTooth phones supported, the lack of a vibrating alarm, and more important than anything else, the lack of improvement over the T3. Of course, the T5 is a much more powerful machine than the T3, which used a 400MHz processor and had only 64MB of storage, but the T5 is not nearly the technological jump that the T3 was when it was released. Some people assert that the T5 is not even an upgrade over the T3, given a number of missing functions and the lack of Wi-Fi, which most people now expect from a unit in this price level.
Personally I am glad Palm did away with the sliding mechanism, like that seen on the T3. I found this feature to be annoying and unnecessary- it was just another part that could break and it seemed to always fall down when I did not want it to. The T5, with the faux-leather cover installed, fits in my pocket well and is adequately protected in a backpack or briefcase- the slide was a nice gimmick but hardly necessary.
I think a lot of long-time Palm users are taking issue with the T5's new "Multi Connector". This how the Palm plugs into your USB port. This new design, which is highly touted by Palm means that all your old accessories, like your keyboard and cradle are now outdated. The T5 does not come with a cradle, I don't really see why it needs one, but a lot of purist are in love with them. If you need to have one you have to shell out some more money.
Another feature that I like about my T5 was the fact that I could use a photo background. The Palm OS has always been functional but not as customizeable as many PC users would expect. A few changes in this direction could make palmOne's PDAs that much more user-friendly. Along these lines, I would not mind seeing dual expansion ports on a "flagship" model. Considering that you need to have a Wi-Fi card in the PDA to connect to your WAN it makes sense to have another expansion port for a second card.
When it comes down too it, I think the Tungsten T5 is a solid PDA. I would not recommend that you throw away your T3 and buy one, but if you are using something like the Tunsten E are are looking for an upgrade you should look into the T5. The T5 is simply not that big a step forward over the T3, except in the aspect of design: the T5 looks sleek and minimalist and was designed to be used. If you are looking for "bang for your buck" the T5 is probably not the PDA for you, but if you need one for personal or business use its a good option, especially if youy company will buy you one and then buy you a SDIO Wi-Fi card. My question for the palmOne engineers is why buy a T5 when you can buy a T3 with a 512MB SD expansion card or an Axim X50?
I think a lot of reviewers and PDA purists have been too hard on this PDA. Its is a very solid performer, in fact one of the best on the market. The T3 is not a better PDA than the T5, it was just a huge step forward when it was released. The T5 does not match this progress, but when viewed on its own it is more than enough to make most consumers happy.

I've been married for almost ten (!) years, and while I don't remember who bought me our tenth place setting, or set of guest towels, I do remember fondly all the special, unique gifts I received from close friends.
- Our dear friends Angela and Brian arranged to have a dinner at the home of a mutual friend who is also a talented artist. After a lovely dinner, we browsed through the artwork on our walls and chose our favorite. That painting is still on our dining room wall today.
- An old family friend from Halifax, NS (where I grew up) sent us a hand-carved cheese board along with a cheese knife carved with our names on it.
- My husbands cousins gave us beautiful hand-painted plates that still feel so special when we use them.
These thoughtful, unique gifts are a part of our story and we cherish them because they were gifted to us by close friends. Now that wedding season has started, consider giving gifts that your friends or family will cherish for a long time. As I shop for the many weddings on the calendar this spring, I'm excited to give memorable, hand-crafted gifts like these.Have you joined BRIKA yet?

Come Worship With Us! Join us in glorifying the living God in worship every Sunday morning at 10:45AM (10AM in July & August) in our Chapel. Music by our Chapel Choir and Youth Choir enhance the scripture and preaching to lift hearts and minds heavenward. The sacrament of the Lord's Supper is served on the first Sunday of the month and on special occasions. Pastor Ruth delivers a weekly children's message coordinated with her sermon. Children's worship bags are provided to help little ones stay engaged during the service.
The Chapel: Constructed in 1883 as the Sunday School Room, this spacious high-ceilinged room with arched stained glass windows was converted to an auditorium in the 1920s, and then into a gymnasium in mid-20th century. In 2015, the room was rededicated to the glory of God as our Chapel. While the main church sanctuary is off limits due to structural problems, the Chapel's warm and inviting aura is perfect for our congregation at this time.
The Chapel Choir: From September through June, the Chapel Choir enhances worship by glorifying God with an anthem and by supporting the singing of the congregation. The repertoire ranges from traditional to contemporary. Professional section leaders also serve as soloists. The choir rehearses on Thursday evenings from 7:30-9:00 PM. New singers—with or without experience—are always welcome.
Youth Choir: A choir for children and youth rehearses on Sundays and sings approximately six times a year. We take care to choose songs that are musically interesting to kids and that carry a message to help them internalize the good news of the Gospel.
