Guest Post Guidelines
Your post needs to be something that is beneficial to Unhinged and Empowered's audience: Navy/Military Wives and Girlfriends. We are not looking for journaling or anecdote only posts. This blog focuses on how-tos, advice, comic entertainment, or resource posts. Many of the posts will have an anecdote, but that is followed by a top ten list or a step by step how-to or general advice of some sort that is something a Navy Wife/Girlfriend wouldn't figure out on her own.
If you would like to be a regular contributor, please pitch a segment idea. We currently have posters who focus on Navy Girlfriends, Navy Families, and the Career Minded Navy Wives. The segment that you pitch will be your subject, so all your posts will focus on issues within that topic. At the same time, I ask writers to always keep the core idea behind the blog in mind and to keep posts positive and useful.
The core idea behind Unhinged and Empowered is embracing and overcoming those little moments that make Navy Wives and Girlfriends feel like we are weak or are going crazy. Although the posts are for any and all Military Wives, my inspiration for creating this blog was to offer guidance, encouragement, and support for new Navy Wives and Girlfriends in particular. Please make sure to read the About page to learn the history and origin behind Unhinged and Empowered.
If you're not sure your idea fits or if you want to write but don't know what to write about, feel free to contact me to ask. I'd be happy to brainstorm with you.
Please, no advertisements.
I cannot offer payment for guest bloggers; however, if you have a business or need for a platform, blogging is a great way to promote and I can help you do that!

Thank you and I hope to be hearing from you soon!

Both Dark Matter and Killjoys ended their first seasons hinting at much more to come. And now we have some idea about what that is, since Syfy has released new promos for both series.
On Dark Matter, the theme is still who they are, both with and without their memories:
For Killjoys, it's mostly bounty hunting as usual:

Ministry with people with disabilities and their families is a special focus at Tree of Life. We welcome people with disabilities to participate fully in every part of our congregational life. We have two ministries that are particularly designed with this group in mind.
Our Community Cup Coffeehouse
Our Community Cup meets each Friday in Boggs Hall. All are welcome, but it is specifically designed as a communal space for young adults and adults with disabilities and their families and caregivers. It's a place to build friendships and just have a fun night out. Each week there is food, fun and great live music. Doors open at 5:30. Dinner is served around 6. At 7 p.m. there is either a sing-along or an opening act. At 7:30 the headline group performs. Our Community Cup is a joint program with New Avenue Foundation, a non-profit for people with disabilities and their families. To find out who's playing at Our Community Cup this week, go to www.ourcommunitycup.com.
ASD/ADHD Parent Support Group
The Parent Support Group usually meets monthly on a Sunday afternoon from 1 – 3 p.m. There is usually a guest speaker on a topic of mutual interest for the first hour, followed by a time for talking about the challenges you are facing as a parent of a kid with these special needs. It's a time to be with other parents who are going through the same things you do and to learn from one another. Childcare is available by pre-registration during these meetings. Spaces for childcare are limited. This group communicates through a closed Facebook page, Parents of Children with ASD/ADHD of Delco. Check the church calendar for the schedule.

LTO Nederland has asked supermarkets not to take advantage of the Russian boycott. They fear the supermarkets will demand a lower price because of lower demand.
The European Commission "should create a purchase fund to make sure prices remain at a steady level". To illustrate: when Russia closed its borders several years ago, cucumbers dropped in price (from 20 to 2 cent).

A man was arrested and charged in relation to an industrial accident at a steel company in north Mississauga. The accident involved a forklift and the death of another man on March 23. Peel Regional Police responded to the accident on Kennedy Road with Peel Regional Paramedics shortly after 9:30 a.m.
According to police and paramedics, a 62-year-old man was working by a truck full of large cylinders of steel when a forklift hit him. A source close to the incident says that the 42-year-old male driver of the forklift fled the scene at the time of the accident. Initially, emergency personnel were there on a medical call. However, an investigation revealed that there was an industrial mishap. No other information was disclosed about the incident. However, the older man reportedly died at the scene.
The forklift driver was later arrested and charged with leaving the scene of a collision that resulted in death. The driver, who has no fixed address, remains in police custody at least until his bail hearing.
Most people probably think of traffic accidents on roads when they hear that a driver left the scene of an accident. However, individuals who are operating industrial equipment are also held accountable if they leave the scene of an accident while they are driving equipment.
If drivers of industrial equipment are responsible for causing crashes that result in the death of others, the relatives of the deceased could file wrongful death claims against them. This allows the relatives to seek compensation for the economic and non-economic damages that they have suffered because of their loved ones' deaths. The relatives could ask lawyers for help in proving negligence in wrongful death cases.

4 Tips to Get Buyers to Fall in Love with You this Valentine's Day
February 14, 2018
Editor's Note: This guest post was contributed by Mike Schultz, President, RAIN Group.
While Valentine's Day is typically centered around relationships between loved ones, it's also a good opportunity to evaluate and improve your business relationships as well.
Almost every business relationship begins with building rapport. Whether someone likes you or doesn't like you will determine how your selling process and the buyers' decision process will go.
Building rapport leads to some very important outcomes. People talk to people they like, they share information with people they like, they buy from people they like, they feel loyalty to people they like, and they introduce people they like.
We once polled a large group asking, "What percent of people are trustworthy?" The average response? Thirty percent.
Then, the question was slightly altered, asking a different set of people, "What percent of people that you know are trustworthy?" The average response? Seventy percent.
Simply knowing leads to trust. Trust is crucial when selling. Basic familiarity makes a difference in building trust. Knowing and liking is much more powerful, setting the stage for all selling success that comes after. Focus on these four principles of rapport when getting to know buyers.
1. Empathy
What gives your brain as much pleasure as food and money?
Talking about yourself.
Harvard University neuroscientists, Diana Tamir and Jason Mitchell, conducted a series of behavioral experiments that revealed people find talking about themselves rewarding. People can't help sharing details about themselves.
If you can get buyers to talk about themselves, you've made some progress. If you can show them that you've listened, they'll be more inclined to like you.
What you've established is empathy. Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. If you want to build a relationship with a buyer, get them to talk about themselves, and demonstrate that you're listening.
2. Authenticity
While most people like a listener, few people like a faker. Anyone who comes across as insincere might as well open up the other person's brain and press the "dislike" button.
This is why it's essential for sellers to show authenticity. People like people who are genuine. Research and practice provide a bit to go on when it comes to being authentic.
For instance, research from the Journal of Nonverbal Behavior revealed that when people smile slower, and ease their way into it, it develops the sense of authenticity.
It's important to avoid being overly friendly. This might seem like an obvious ploy to connect, but the buyer will see right through it and you'll fall flat.
3. Similarity
People like people who are like them. They like when there are similarities. If you can find common ground, you're more likely to develop genuine rapport.
Numerous psychological studies have confirmed that people like names better when they're similar to theirs. They prefer brands that share their initials. They prefer that people move the way they move.
What can you do to apply the similarity principle?
Uncover interests and background that you have in common with the buyer and you can not only make, but also deepen that connection. Anyone who's shared a favorite TV show, favorite author, favorite sport, favorite activity or hobby, or even has children the same age understands what it feels like to have a connection with someone just because of that one similarity.
Another way to appear similar is to mirror buyers' basic behaviors. For instance, if they speak slow, they'd probably prefer others who do as well. If they speak fast, the same is true. They lean forward, you lean forward. However, don't outright mimic. Interact in ways they prefer to interact, and interact like them. If you can do this successfully, you'll develop a better connection and rapport.
4. Shared Experience
People who are talked at don't feel connected to the speaker. People who are actively involved in the communication process develop a stronger liking for the people who are interacting with them and, at the same time, develop a sense of psychological ownership over whatever they're working on.
If you're selling, create shared experiences and interact with buyers in the business process. For example, define a problem, craft a solution, devise a strategy to present the solution, and work collaboratively to come to the right agreement and terms.
When you do, not only will they like you more, they'll also be much more inclined to take action on whatever it is you want them to do.
It's also true that if you simply spend time with people—lunch, coffee, events, and so on—your affinity for one another will rise.
If you want to build relationships and increase your influence with buyers, interact with them. Create shared experiences.
Rapport is the foundation for relationship building. Few people would argue that sales people, professionals, and leaders who have great relationships tend to have great success. As you're building rapport, think of it less as a mechanical part about how you should lead a meeting, and more as an investment in building a relationship.
To invest in relationships, make sure you attend to the four principles of rapport: empathy, authenticity, similarity, and shared experience.

My sister in law Frances is an expert at improvising in the kitchen. For more times than I can remember, I have seen her juggle in the kitchen to feed a large group of unannounced guests with delicious homemade meals. This rice is inspired in one of her trademarks. She makes it in a rice cooker, but I don't own a rice cooker so I make it in my caldero, chef's pan or heavy bottomed sauce pan. In addition, she uses extra-long grain white rice which I substitute with Jasmine Rice. It is easy, colorful and a nice twist to traditional white rice. Also, this rice is aromatic and full of flavor. By making little changes like these in everyday meals we get inspired to get out of the routine and explore new possibilities. Accompany with filet mignon, grilled chicken or bbq ribs.
approximately 8 generous servings
4 tbsp (1/2 stick) of butter
1/4 green bell pepper (cubed)
1/4 red bell pepper (cubed)
1/4 yellow bell pepper (cubed)
1/4 cup onions (coarsely chopped)
3 cups jasmine rice
1 tbsp salt
4 1/2 cups of water
1. In a medium size heavy bottom pan or caldero, melt butter (med heat).
2. Sauté onions and peppers until onions are translucent.
3. Add jasmine rice and stir to coat all grains with the melted butter.
4. Add water and cook uncovered until most of water has evaporated and you can see small holes in the top of rice.
5. Stir with a slotted spoon or large fork. Reduce heat to low and cover until rice is cooked, about 15-20 more minutes.

PORTSMOUTH – The top three prize winners were announced during the opening reception for the 31st annual Omer T. Lassonde exhibition sponsored by the New Hampshire Art Association at its Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery on State Street in Portsmouth.
The theme for this year's juried show, which runs through April, is "Live Free or Die: Art is Expression."
First place, with a prize of $1,000, went to Katherine Errecart of Rye for her acrylic and ink on canvas, "I Believed You."
Errecart, a representational painter and member of the NHAA, developed a love for art at an early age and earned a bachelor's degree in visual art from Brown University.
"A self-portrait, 'I Believed You' is first a deeply personal account of my own experience – of the asphyxiating messages I have received and internalized as a girl and a woman, and of the immense task of confronting these messages to define my own worth," Errecart said.
One of these messages is a derogatory phrase aimed at women that is repeated many times over in the background of the piece in faint cursive writing.
"More broadly, it points to the pervasiveness of misogyny in our society," she continued. "We are too often willing to dismiss or overlook the relentless and insidious messages delivered to women and girls. With this painting, I seek to make my own experience visible and to offer my own vulnerability, for those who are willing to look and who seek to understand."
Second place, with a prize of $800, went to David Zerba of Croydon for his mixed media piece, "American Corn."
Zerba enjoys painting barns and he added a flag motif to this work that has a vintage frame with stars and vintage yardsticks along the bottom. A retired graphic designer, Zerba has been painting for about 10 years.
Dustan Knight of New Castle took third place with a prize of $550 for her mixed media piece, "Miss Liberty at The Beach."
Knight grew up in New Castle and, after years of teaching and traveling abroad, returned to the town to open a studio.
"I am particularly thrilled to have my piece recognized at the Lassonde show, because it is a brand new work in a direction I have been exploring for many years," Knight said. "It required a level of focus and a confidence with a large range of different materials to pull it off."
Knight said she has been mesmerized by the political social events over the past year.
"As an older educated mother, daughter and wife, I have become increasingly aware of my changing identity to myself and in general," she said. "Wrestling with these concepts really ignited my need to do a piece like 'Miss Liberty.'"
Gordon Dearborn Wilkins, a curator for the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts, juried the show selecting 52 works from 248 submitted.
Honorable Mentions went to Judith Heller, Daniela Edstrom and Jeffrey T. Fitzgerald.
The show continues through April 29 at the Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery, 136 State St., Portsmouth. Gallery hours are Wednesdays through Sundays, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

I never had braces as a kid. I actually WANTED braces at one point, because all my friends were getting them in middle school. But alas, my dentist said it would be mainly cosmetic, so I never got them.
Fast forward about 15 years.
Now, every time I go to the dentist, he asks me why I never had braces before. Besides the fact that I was in 6th grade with no choice in the matter, and the fact that he himself said they weren't needed, I'm now almost 30 (gasp) and definitely don't want traditional metal braces just because my friends have them.
So, I took a leap. I decided to do treatment using Smile Direct Club aligners. I'm not being paid for this, so this is completely unbiased. This seems like a relatively new company, mainly seen on lots of ex-Bachelor contestant Instagrams, so I wanted to provide a review for all the "normal" people out there who just want straight teeth without going broke.
I should finish my initial treatment plan by April, but for now, I thought I'd share a timeline of what it took to get started.
Click through to get the deets!
As for reasons why I want straight teeth. Doesn't everyone? What bothers me most is that my top two front teeth REALLY aren't in alignment with each other, and it stands out, especially from the side views. Other than that, I haven't felt like my teeth are horrible or been super self-conscious of my smile. But when even my dentist starts asking almost every visit why I never had braces? Yeah, that makes me feel hyper-aware of my crowded teeth.
You can see here the "wonkiness" of my top teeth, although it's not as bad or noticeable as some people's "bad" teeth.
- November 2 — 3D scan appointment
Luckily for me, there is a Smile Shop here in San Antonio. If there is no Smile Shop you can get to, you can have an impression kit sent to your home. I'm glad I didn't go the impression kit route, because I have heard stories of people having to send in multiple impression kits before they got an "acceptable" one, or the aligners didn't really fit their teeth correctly, etc. I felt that going in person gives me a better chance that it'll work out for me.
It took me a while to find the shop, as it's inside a building with multiple suites/salons and it's not clearly marked as such online or on Google Maps. When I arrived, I told the technician about the errors, and she actually took a photo of the maps on my phone to send to the company so they could fix this issue.
I had changed my appointment from 12 to 12:30 due to a brunch that was running a little long, and when I got there the reception lady was confused and said I didn't have an appointment. She was a bit rude about it, but the technician, Samantha, said that she saw my appointment and took me to get the scan.
The scan was no big deal, it felt like an average dental appointment. However, some of the presentation was very "car salesman"-y. Lots of information thrown my way super quickly. She explained the process of the scan, how there is a dentist overlooking my case (so "tele-dentistry" in a way), what my package will come with, the process for using the aligners, and payment plans. It was kind of overwhelming. But I got the scan and walked out with some free stuff, so yay.
- November 5 — "Your new smile is waiting." email
My treatment plan is ready! The 3D view was super cool, and I had only 4 months to straighter teeth. So I ordered my aligners, and instead of a month-by-month payment system, I just paid it all up front. With some codes I found on the Internet (aka, through stalking ex-Bachelor contestants on Instagram), the total came out to about $1,700. I am going to see if my insurance will reimburse me for some of the cost, but our plan is switching companies so I'll have to wait until we get everything settled.
Immediately, I get a "Welcome to the club!" email that they have received my order and will begin creating my invisible aligners.
I was also sent a link to their aligner guide so I can prepare myself for life with aligners. This automatically comes with the aligners, but sometimes it's good to get a leg up on things that can alter your day-to-day life.
- November 13 — "We're cookin' up your smile!" email
I guess this means they are 3D printing the base for the aligners? I also noticed I'm starting to grind/push on my teeth a bit more but probably stress-related due to job probs.
- November 20 — "Your smile is currently experiencing science." email
So they are thermoforming the aligners now… whatever that means…
- November 27 — "Your smile is getting a haircut."
In other words, they're trimming my aligners. This is also the point that I get suspicious they just have automated emails going out once a week to "keep me informed", regardless of what step in the process my aligners are actually in. I mean, I've gotten 3 emails the past 3 Mondays now. It can't be a coincidence.
- November 29 — "Your aligners are on the way!" email
Grins incoming! Got a tracking number, and should be delivered by Friday December 1. I also received an additional "Your aligners and you" email, with a couple of notes about the lifestyle changes I'll have with the aligners — namely, eating and drinking.
- December 1 — Aligners get delivered!
I decide I'm going to put them in starting on Sunday, as a convenient way to keep track of when to move on to the next set. I also want to prepare myself with a travel toothbrush and floss set, so I can clean my teeth if I have to take the aligners out and put them back in.
- December 3 — Pop in the first aligners before I go to bed. I've heard from most people it's helpful to start the aligners at night rather than during the day, so they can just adjust/get sore while you sleep!
That's all so far. I'll check in maybe when I'm about halfway done with treatment, and definitely when everything is final. The aligners felt weird at first, but I feel like I'm already sort of used to them. I didn't realize exactly HOW big a deal it would be to not be able to eat or drink with them in, but wow, no more constant grazing or snacking while I'm sitting at home because I'm too lazy to be brushing my teeth almost every hour. I've heard a lot of people say they actually lost weight because they weren't eating so much!
I also had them in without telling Aaron I had put them in yet, and he didn't notice… but that may be because he's still on trauma rotation and exhausted.
If y'all have any questions, just reach out to me! I'm happy to answer!

As Pan takes off on a 6,494 mile, 40 day 40 night tour out west and back, bass player Ryan Hutchens left behind a parting gift in the form of an EP from his project Cancellieri.
Recorded with Stagbriar's Alex McCollum, the new EP titled III, is an atmospheric album with most songs stemming from the strumming and plucking of an acoustic guitar. The magic of this EP comes in the casual excellence of the vocals and the easiness of how every little sound throughout the album fits together. From the birds chirping in "Shotgun Blues", the banjo cutting through in "Higher", and the strings that steal the end of "Tribal Glory", III never loses the listener's attention.
A lot of albums these days fall victim to the false cohesiveness that is using the same instruments in every song, which usually makes for a boring listen. Cancellieri don't fall victim to this trap by switching up song styles, structures, and instrumentation, while retaining cohesiveness throughout. It's an advantage of home recording, less rushed for time, easier scheduling, and more freedom to do whatever the hell you want from song to song. The big parts could be bigger on this album, the loud parts louder, the dynamics need more of a punch, but they are there and performed well.

Every child needs their own special stationery for doodling and drawing, scribbling secrets, or making up stories. Kids' notebooks are great for bringing on train and plane journeys, or to museums and parks. Stopping to sketch an unusual object or plant encourages children to slow down and really take notice of the little details we often rush past in our busy lives. And suggesting a game of Noughts and Crosses or Hangman can be a lifesaving tactic for parents facing those 'I'm bored' situations too.
We think you'll agree our range includes some rather lovely notebooks, with beautifully illustrated covers that are sure to get those creative juices flowing.

How to Reduce Stomach Fat With Kale and Cauliflower
There's no one food that's going to help you lose your stomach fat, and you can't selectively lose fat in one spot -- you can only reduce your overall body fat. But eating more nutrient-rich, low-calorie vegetables like cauliflower and kale can certainly help. The key to losing your belly is to eat a healthy diet that's low in sugar and high in fiber. Consult your doctor before starting any weight-loss diet.
Diet to Lose the Stomach
If you're trying to lose stomach fat, Rush University Medical Center suggests that you start by limiting your sugar intake by cutting out soda and juice 1. Instead, fill your diet with foods naturally high in fiber like fresh fruits and vegetables. You also want to eat more complex carbs such as whole grains and beans, as well as healthy polyunsaturated fats such as those found in salmon, walnuts and soy oil.
Kale, Cauliflower and Stomach Fat
According to the medical center, it's the fiber in the kale and cauliflower that's going to help you trim your stomach fat. A 1-cup serving of cooked kale or cauliflower has 3 grams of fiber. Adding more fiber to your diet helps you lose weight, says Harvard Health Publications, and reduces your risk of heart disease and diabetes, two risk factors of excess belly fat 23. Rush suggests starting meals with a vegetable, such as a salad or vegetable-based soup, in addition to filling half your plate with veggies.
Kale and Cauliflower Nutrition
It's not only the fiber in the kale and cauliflower that's good for belly fat. Both are low in calories, which can help reduce your calorie intake for overall weight loss, including your belly. A 1-cup serving of cooked kale has 36 calories, 0.5 gram of fat, 7 grams of carbs and 2.5 grams of protein. The same serving of cooked cauliflower has 28 calories, 0.5 gram of fat, 5 grams of carbs and 1 gram of protein.
The vegetables are also rich in nutrients that promote good health. Both are excellent sources of vitamin C, but kale is a better source of vitamins A and K and manganese.
Serving Kale and Cauliflower
Nutrient-rich kale and cauliflower are both versatile veggies that make great accompaniments to any meal. You can use raw kale as the green for your salad or the cauliflower to make a cauliflower soup -- skip the milk and blend the cauliflower instead to make it creamy. Both kale and cauliflower also make good additions to any stir-fry or veggie saute. Or you can roast them in the oven with a little olive oil and pepper to bring out the flavor.
Instead, fill your diet with foods naturally high in fiber like fresh fruits and vegetables. But eating more nutrient-rich, low-calorie vegetables like cauliflower and kale can certainly help. According to the medical center, it's the fiber in the kale and cauliflower that's going to help you trim your stomach fat.

Some authors often compare writing a story to having a baby.
I am one of them.
The original plot is like a fetus that I will grow and nurture in my wom— I mean, flash drive, until it has fully developed. The editing process is like going into labor, and after hours of sweating, cursing, and swearing not to ever write another word, the baby will come out and, hopefully, every organ — story line— and limb — characterization, setting and pacing— will be exactly how it should.
This year has not been easy for me, and quite frankly, I feel like I've been pregnant forever with twins named Six Degrees of Separation, and Disasterology 101. As many of you know, they were supposed to be born months ago, but alas, they refused to come out. I could have used forceps, but I chose to bear the pain —of disappointing my readers— and keep them inside for as long as needed over pushing them out too soon only to have them being deformed.
Growing these babies has been an arduous labor of love, and several times I feared I wouldn't be able to carry them to term. I either didn't have the time, or the strength, but I did have a serious case of prepartum depression for quite some time. Needless to say, it was bad. But I am lucky. I have the best support system ever, and they held my hand while I pushed, took a breather, and pushed some more until finally the first baby was ready to come out.
I know you all have been waiting for my next story, and I can't even begin to tell you how much your patience and understanding means to me. I want to thank you for your emails and kind words, as they are the motivation I needed to see things through, and I promise you, I will make it up to you.
Six Degrees of Separation is still growing some limbs, and it'll be a few more weeks before I can give you guys any details, but progress has been made, and we're getting closer every day.
In the meantime, I want to share with you the blurb and ultrasound image of Disasterology 101, a story that holds a very special place in my heart.
Le Blurb:
Kevin Morrison had it all. A house he worked hard for, a loving wife, and three beautiful children. But it wasn't until his marriage ended that he realized what the void he'd felt almost all his life meant. Coming out as a gay man at thirty-six is not an easy feat, but he is determined to be true to his heart. Meeting a man who shares his values, and is good with his children would be a bonus, but when the guy arrives in a uniquely wrapped package, and has very specific handling instructions, Kevin needs to decide if he's up for that kind of love.
Obsessed with order and symmetry, and a paralyzing fear of germs, Cedric Haughton-Disley has lived with isolation and loneliness as long as he can remember. Desperate to be normal, he makes some much-needed changes in his life. If he can commit to his treatment, he might very well be able to procure some quality of life… even if that's all he can get, as finding love and having a relationship are only possible in Cedric's wildest dreams. But when a chance encounter leaves Cedric wishing for more, he decides to take a leap of faith, and pursue the guy he wants.
Together the two men make an unlikely match. Cedric needs organization, and Kevin represents chaos. In order to stay together they both need to compromise, but will they be able to deal with Cedric's issues and the potential disaster, or let it break them apart?

What I wore today - silly hat!
I love these Aztec print shorts and haven't had much chance to wear them, they are from the kids section in new look and were such a bargain at £14.00! They are quite versatile too and are great for summer, they're really colourful too so are easy to match up with other stuff.
We are celebrating my sisters birthday tomorrow , me, my mum, brother and sister are going to do a bit of shopping in town and then we'll have some nice food somewhere do I'm really looking forward to it :) my sisters off to Barcelona for a month at the end of the week, I'm super jealous as she's going to have an awesome time!
Sadly I don't have a holiday planned this year, hopefully me and my boyfriend will get a late deal to somewhere hot in Europe at the end of the summer - any suggestions are welcome!
Do you wear a hat when you have a bad hair day?!
Hope you had a great weekend.

A report into defence against cyber crime has warned that Britain's growing CCTV network is a possible target for hacking attacks.
Tony Porter, the Surveillance Camera Commissioner raised the issue of there being a risk of intrusion on the public.
He mentioned the major cyber incident in Washington DC that took place in January 2017 where over 100 cameras were infected with ransomware.
Tony Porter said "The risk potential for intrusion on citizens has significantly increased both by lawful operators of surveillance camera systems and those individual or state actors who seek to hack into systems"….."Cyber security has moved to the top of the security agenda."
In Mr Porter's 2016/17 report, Mr Porter recognised that surveillance cameras are typically not recognised as potential hacking targets.
He said "If your camera is not suitably protected you are potentially opening up a back door for organisations that choose to hack."
The world views Britain as a country that has one of the most extensive networks and the commissioners report suggest it is continuously growing. Research carried out in 2013 estimated the number of camera in the UK to be up to six million.
Mr Porter also raised the sensitivities associated with the police Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system, he feels that the system needs to be more transparent and subject to tighter regulations due to the amount of sensitive data it stores.
To find how secure your CCTV network is as well as ensure you are GDPR complaint, get in touch with Antron Security on +44 (0)1923 855 006 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hey Teaching Friends!
Teachers spend $500 or more per year out of pocket on their classroom and students. I know I spend a lot more than that! But I never spend any money online without looking for a coupon code. I very rarely pay retail for anything.
I was just introduced to this great site called Coupon Chief! It has coupon codes for over 15,000 stores. Just search for the store, find the discount that suits you and copy the code. Then paste the code into the promotional code area of your online store's checkout and *POOF* dollars will instantly disappear from your bill. If my directions aren't crystal clear, the site offers a great video of the steps to take to get your discounts.
Another great feature of this site, is "pays-2-share". If you are looking to make a few extra bucks here and there, then you can sign up for the site's "pays 2 share" program. All you need to do is upload coupon codes you already have and every time someone makes a purchase with that coupon, Coupon Chief will give you 2 percent of that purchase. So, you won't become rich quick, but it may buy you a few things from our favorite dollar spot at Target! :)
If you are in need of savings and you love to shop like me, I would definitely check out this site before purchasing. Happy Teaching and Shopping Friends!
Get your COUPON on!

Thin (Greenfield, 2006)
Thin (Greenfield, 2006)
Fargo (FX, 2014-Current), "A Muddy Road" (S1.E3)
"… This cover is fat shaming not only to Tr-mp but also fat women in general. The artist claims it's meant to demonstrate how Tr-mp's misogyny 'might just be his Achilles' heel,' but unfortunately the image trucks in the exact same misogyny it wants to critique. Because it makes the subject's size the most obvious source of his status, it does not challenge the beauty standards it's referencing at all."
Cribbed from a post I wrote on Facebook a few months ago; I didn't want to lose the idea. Thoughts also inspired and affirmed by this Guardian piece on the naked Trump statues.
Since writing my post on the first class day, I thought I might do a little series on how I manage some common teaching tasks. I've come up with pretty regular routines for starting and ending class, so that seemed like the next logical focus. Here's my rundown.
Before class starts
When class starts
Before class ends
After class
As with everything, this is an evolving system subject to change, especially when every semester schedule can be so different. What works for you? I've disabled comments here, but feel free to give feedback through social media or your own blog post.
"…. Despite the apparent contradiction, the role of the powerful abolitionist novel in promoting the faithful slave narrative is actually not surprising. The middle-class northern reading public that fueled the popularity of Uncle Tom's Cabin prefigured the public that would romanticize the plantation South after Reconstruction. And the same sentimental characteristics that humanized enslaved people in (Harriet Beecher) Stowe's eyes were present in the paternalistic myths espoused by the proslavery writers who challenged her critique."

Purchasing Refurbished Medical Imaging Equipment For Your Practice
If you use medical imaging equipment in your establishment, and you are in the need for an additional machine, you may want to consider buying a refurbished machine over new. With a higher demand for imagine diagnostics within the medical industry, having an extra machine on hand can help take care of more patients at a quicker speed. Here are some of the reasons refurbished medical imaging equipment can be a better deal than buying a new piece of equipment.
Refurbished Doesn't Have To Mean Old
When people think of the word "refurb" they may automatically think of something that is old or outdated. This is not necessarily the case when it comes to medical imagining equipment. Many times a practice will sell a piece of equipment in order to upgrade to a newer model. When doing this, the piece they sell, may not have been used very much and may still have a lot of standard features that are needed to take quality images.
Refurbished machines go through an extensive process to be able to be in salable condition. First they will be looked over for flaws, hardware or software upgrades are made, repairs will be done, the unit will be cleaned and sanitized, and then they will be put on the market for sale. The product you buy, will be a high-quality machine that will work as if it were new. It may not have every function available as newer units, but it will still be able to perform as it did when the original medical facility had purchased it.
The Price Is Right
The main reason medical facilities look into purchasing refurbished equipment, is to save money. Refurbished units will be substantially cheaper than buying a brand new piece of equipment. Although cheaper, the quality may be just as good as a new unit. You would need to look into the specifications of a particular brand and see if it will meet the needs of your medical practice.
Increased Money For Your Business
Having an additional unit can give your practice the chance to acquire more funds. You would be able to increase the hours of operation, or double up on scheduling of imaging appointments. The amount spent on the imaging machine would soon pay for itself with the extra revenue gained by having it in the office.
Purchasing a refurbished machine, from places like Chicago C-Arms LLC, would allow your practice to allocate funds to other pieces of equipment for the practice. This will allow your business to acquire extra machinery instead of only buying one piece with money set aside for upgrades. Your company could also use the money saved to do something totally different, such as remodel the waiting area or exam rooms.

The start of spring football practice is near, so let's answer some questions on the Gators.
If you weren't able to ask a question this week, send your questions for future mailbags via Twitter, e-mail (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Facebook.)
(Basketball: Florida Gators fall in RPI after home loss to Alabama)
(Gators' QB battle four-man race with Harris now a receiver)
Ladarius: Should we expect a big drop-off from the Gators' defense next season?
Anthony Chiang: No. Although the Gators lose their best defensive lineman (Bullard) and arguably their best linebacker (Morrison), cornerback (Hargreaves) and safety (Neal), Florida is still expected to feature a very talented defense in 2016. I know that's hard to believe. But the Gators return All-SEC first-team cornerback Jalen Tabor and USA Today All-American safety Marcus Maye, along with linebacker Jarrad Davis and defensive lineman Cece Jefferson. Davis is expected to be one of the SEC's top linebackers this upcoming season and Jefferson is expected to have a big sophomore season. But who will fill in for Bullard, Morrison, Hargreaves and Neal? There will be a rotation of defensive linemen who look to fill in for Bullard, Alex Anzalone is expected to slide in for Morrison, Quincy Wilson is expected to take Hargreaves' place, and returning sophomore safeties Duke Dawson, Nick Washington and Marcell Harris are expected to step up and fill Neal's void.
On top of all that, the Gators signed a talented freshman class that includes a handful of defensive players who could make an immediate impact. Expect four-star cornerback Chauncey Gardner and defensive end Antonneous Clayton to play a role in 2016. That mix of experience and new talent should help keep the Gators' defense among the country's best.
Sam: Who will start at quarterback for the Gators in 2016?
Anthony Chiang: The quarterback competition hasn't even really started yet with the start of spring practice still in front of us, but I'll take a guess based on what coaches, players and other analysts have said about the candidates. I believe transfer quarterback Luke Del Rio and graduate transfer quarterback Austin Appleby have the best shot to win the job. Del Rio probably has the edge because he transferred to Florida last year before sitting out this past season due to NCAA transfer rules, while Appleby transferred to Florida less than two months ago in January.
This doesn't mean that the freshmen, Feleipe Franks and Kyle Trask, don't have a chance to win the competition. But the feeling is that the Gators would rather redshirt Franks and/or Trask and use 2016 as a developmental year for them.
Nicole: Will Florida's men's basketball team make the NCAA Tournament?
Anthony Chiang: Yes. Right now, Florida is projected to make the tournament as a No. 9 seed. The Gators have six regular-season games remaining with four of them coming on the road. So Florida's tournament stock could get worse, but I don't believe it will be enough to keep the Gators out of the "big dance." (Man, I hate that I just called the NCAA Tournament the "big dance.")

There are two kinds of alcoholics. Or more charitably, aficionados. One is affluent. The other, working class. They aren't defined by status as much as where they pick their poisons. True dive bars are populist in a way boutique, high-concept dens of mixology are not.
At a dive, the ubiquitous streaming jukebox (with requisite phone app) is decked out like a Vegas slot machine, dispensing bass-heavy sonic cocktails to a diverse cadre of neon-bathed, pool-shooting revelers who, almost without fail, become a choir during the last two-minutes of "Bohemian Rhapsody."
Drink specials with absurd names are garishly scrawled on tiny mirrors, and you can smoke more often than not. If you're lucky you'll find a machine with Parliaments that cost the same eight bucks as any other brand of coffin nail. Like everything at a dive bar, it's a level playing field.
The tourists are obvious, and the regulars even more so; satiating themselves on five-dollar Jameson and PBR combos like mile markers to a collective, inevitable destination.
This is a survey of some favorites. Like a humanities class with booze.
Another Round (3307 S. Peoria) - Formerly known as Brookside Bar (under that name one of Tulsa's arguably oldest watering holes), Another Round is closer to an entry-level dip. Nothing on Brookside is truly trashy; though The Warehouse, across the street, is a magnet for the kind of Fireball-swilling douchebros that make Another Round feel like a fucking oasis.
Strong pours (always a concern), a pleasingly inexpensive selection of well-curated craft beers, and a back porch with darts and giant Jenga, Another Round is the place to get a massive buzz in the warm familiarity of a neighborhood pub where, in all likelihood, nobody cares if you smoke a bowl at the picnic table.
Bamboo Lounge (6810 E. Pine) – Located in a derelict wasteland of dystopian junkyards and mechanic shops, Tulsa's oldest gay bar opened in 1957.
Bamboo feels out of place and perfectly at home. Cheap drinks and people-watching fit in with any dive, but Bamboo's off-the-beaten-path locale and eclectic patrons are a unique mélange of the familiar and unusual.
Home to drag-themed karaoke and comedy open mic nights (both of which feature a burlesque-inspired roster of amateur and professional entertainers), Bamboo's improvisational theater-nerd esthetic sublimely complements its working class veneer.
Cellar Dweller (417 W. 7th St.) - A 70s basement bar under the historic Del Rey building, the Cellar is something of a hidden icon that wouldn't be allowed to exist if it didn't already.
Red brick walls are festooned with kitsch, non-sequitur bits of Americana art, and on Wednesday there's free, live music from Grazzhopper. Over $5 Jamey and PBR's some of Tulsa's most influential people, and the occasional celebrity, find themselves faux-slumming in a cult of personality.
It's the place you bring a date because the low-key crimson lighting makes everyone hot. And depending on the soundtrack, curated by Western or Olivia's Pandora playlist—thus augmenting everyone's game—will most likely get you (or someone way cooler than you) very laid.
Centennial Lounge (1109 E. 6th St.) – Located in a VFW building, itself an old speakeasy, Centennial is the "Purple Heart of the Pearl"— bordering downtown and the revitalized arts and drinking Pearl District, between Utica and Peoria Avenues. You can't miss its fantastically vintage neon sign.
Over a weekday afternoon of cheap Marshall's on tap—unless you like to go hard early—you might find yourself in the company of storytelling vets who killed actual Nazis. Sadly retired.
At night Centennial regularly hosts live music (it was the last place I saw Tulsa's late blues legend, Steve Pryor, perform), and boasts a long-running comedy open mic where, if you show up on the right Wednesday, you can watch some of the best comics in Tulsa working out new material.
Orpha's (112 W. 4th St.) – Billing itself as the oldest bar in Tulsa, circa 1958 (which the next bar on this list famously disputes), I was always leery of Orpha's.
Sitting across the street at lunch 10 years ago, in the former location of Tulsa's oldest Coney Islander, I'd gaze at its sunken, extracted tooth entrance in the harsh light of noontime wondering what kind of sordid shit was going on. A bar befitting of Bukowski.
Now, it's a little different. Orpha's is still the most unpretentious downtown bar; the definition of dive in a sea of high concept baubles. Shockingly cheap drinks, salt-of-the-earth lushes who are there every day because some of them live in the one-room apartments upstairs, and the occasional working girl with a trick; crossing streams with adventurous hipsters who always heard how dangerous this place was and finding that it really isn't anymore.
The Buccaneer (1120 S. Harvard) – The Buc claims 1932 as its birth year, and thus is Tulsa's oldest bar (a subject entirely up for debate).
As a dive, it's textbook—catering to the TU crowd, with flat panels of sports and vintage home stereo speakers pumping out whatever's on the jukebox. The drinks (like all of these places) are cheap and plenty, and the regulars a culture.
One of my fondest memories of the Buc was a friend's birthday where a fat, balding white guy and his Mexican sidekick started lining out rails of coke on the long, thin table that bisects the space, offering lines to anyone who might be interested. He never got busted.
Like the night itself, that's definitely not the norm. But it's also the kind of weird moment you never forget.
Yellow Brick Road (2630 E. 15th St.) – I used to live across the street from Yellow Brick Road before moving next door to the Cellar Dweller. It's hard to overstate the privilege of getting hammered at institutions from where you can walk home in less than three minutes.
An LGBT bar in spirit (there used to be a one-person prison cage between the booths), now YBR is really a pub for anyone. I watched the opening of the Beijing Olympics there.
A nerdy beer selection and tailored concoctions from midtown-centric bartenders who love their friends, housed in a vintage 40's train row building—with unassuming, blink-and-you'll-miss-it, aesthetically minimalist signage—YBR is unrefined sophistication.
Honorable Mention Dive Bars - Dixie Tavern (3161 S. 128th East Ave.), On the Rocks (3120 S. Yale), Tin Dog Saloon (3245 S. Harvard)
Joe O'Shansky is a Tulsa-based entertainment writer, mainly covering film and television. O'Shansky is fueled by cheap bourbon and Pall Malls… like Kurt Vonnegut, just not nearly as cool.

Looking to be whisked away from Siouxland, then head to the Kingdom of Riverssance Festival in Riverside Park this weekend for a day of fun, food and frivolity.

Watch performances of all types, including a the Daily Joust each day at noon and 4 p.m. and the Royal Smoker (must be 21) each day at 3 p.m.

- Explore the vendors. From artwork and hand-crafted goods to wearables and metallurgy, vendors feature a variety of unique products.

I have posted a few entries covering GNS3 and how you can use it to help you with your studies. And, in the Connecting Your PC to Your Virtual GNS3 Routers I showed you how it was possible to break your GNS3 routers out of the Virtual world and bring them in to the Physical world. In this post, I am to show you how I used this technique in my lab to give me a rather nice setup.
Figure 1 shows the equipment I own at the time of writing. I don't really use the 2610 as GNS3 fulfills all of my router needs. I do use the 2509 though as a console router for the rest of my equipment.

Do you have family connections to the British Indian Army during WW1 and 2?
What's YOUR Hidden History?
Are you a resident of Coventry and Warwickshire with family connections to the British Indian Army during WW1 and WW2? If so, the Belgrade Theatre wants to hear from YOU.
To mark the opening of Wipers in Coventry, the Belgrade Theatre is appealing for local residents to come forward to share their 'hidden histories' of WW1 and 2.
The Belgrade Theatre is particularly interested in hearing from local residents with family or community links to Indian soldiers (Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and others) who fought in The Great War between 1914-1918.
Commenting on the appeal, Wipers Director Suba Das said: 'I think that one of the things we can be really proud of here in the UK is our long-tradition of respecting and celebrating diversity and it's important that audiences understand that this tradition of collaboration goes back a long way. Yes, that history isn't without its complexities. Yes, there are aspects of that history which should be celebrated and others that we would rather forget but ultimately, it's what made Britain the country that it is today.'
'Over a million South Asian men volunteered to join the British Army during the First World War. As a nationality, South Asians received one of the highest percentages of Victoria Crosses during the conflict. That's an incredible contribution and something we should all be proud of. That's what we want people to take away from the show and from this event. That extraordinary things happen when people come together.'
If you have a memory, photo or story that you would like to share, please contact Kate Evans (Communications Officer – Press and Digital Media) on Tel: 024 7684 6715 or email: email@example.com
Any memories gathered as part of the Hidden Histories appeal will go towards the creation of a temporary exhibition which will be displayed at the Belgrade during the show's run in Coventry.

Skid Steer Rubber Tracks
12 Months Full Replacement Warranty
If your DEKK Rubber Track doesn't last the year, and the fault is due to a manufacturing defect then we will happily replace that track.
More information can be found at DEKK Rubber Tracks and Pads.
Skid Steer Loader Compatibility
You can count on DEKK to supply the right track for any skid steer machine. All rubber tracks are made to OEM standards and can be used on the following:
ASV, Bobcat, Caterpillar, Case, Daewoo, JCB, John Deere, Komatsu, Kubota, New Holland, Sunward, Takeuchi, Terex and Vermeer.
Rubber Track Sizes
We are able to supply any sized track for any skid steer loader. If the skid steer track size you need isn't listed below, simply just Get A Quote to talk to one of our team about our range.
Widths: 180mm, 230mm, 320mm, 380mm, 400mm, 450mm and 500mm
DEKK Track Quality
Skid Steer Loaders spend most of their life moving so we know that these tracks need to be tough. It's vital to have maximum floatation and low ground pressure, especially in wet and soft conditions. The reduced ground pressure can also prevent damage to harder surfaces like grass areas.
We work with you to ensure that the correct rubber track is fitted to your skid steer. Generally we will help determine whether a track with corrosion resistant continuous steel cord or a flexible Kevlar belting inner core is suited.
Rubber tracks that are correctly installed on skid steers have an expected life expectancy of 1-2 years, depending on the conditions they are working in.

Season 2 of Master of None, Aziz Ansari's Emmy-winning comedy - about the trials and tribulations of struggling New York actor Dev - eschews the typical trajectory and happily goes off on its own tangent.
This time the show — which sees Dev nursing his broken heart (he and his record label publicist girlfriend went their separate ways in the Season 1 finale) and seriously considering a new career as a chef — takes a different spin around his dysfunctional universe, sharpening the focus on his disillusionment, both personally and professionally.
Thoughtful, quirky and insightful, Dev's predicaments are grounded in real life and often veer between being very funny (the 'First Date' ep looks at the thrills and pitfalls of hooking up in the Tinder age) and very sad ('The Dinner Party' ep features a three-minute long reaction shot of a dejected guy riding home alone).
It's a tried-and-tested, but not staid formula that makes the series so relatable, at least for those in a certain age bracket.

Store and Forward is an automatic message spooling and delivery feature included with every edition of SpamStopsHere. If your email server goes offline, we'll spool your incoming email for up to 5 days (by default) and then automatically deliver spooled messages when you're back online.
Spooled messages are temporarily stored, waiting to be delivered to you. This is very useful during unexpected down times (such as temporary power outages). It's like an automatic version of our Spool & Suspend feature.
Our servers will queue your email for up to 120 hours (5 days). The senders will get their first bounce message after the message has been in the queue for 6 hours, saying that the message has not yet been delivered but that we will keep trying.
By default, our servers will try to redeliver each message every 30 minutes. As a result, half an hour after your mail server is back up, you should have received all of your queued email.
Normally, we queue your incoming mail if your mail server is completely unavailable or is replying with a temporary SMTP (4.x) error. However, some mail server settings will prevent your email from being queued.
If your mail server is responding fine and someone has set it to reject a message at the SMTP level and tell our mail server to not try delivering the message again (5.x error), then this is seen as a permanent error. Our mail server will do what it's told and not try again, deleting the message from the queue. A Delivery Status Notification (DSN) will be "returned" to the sender.
As a result, if you find that you have to "reinstall" your mail server, please ensure that it is fully configured and tested to accept email before putting it back online at the same IP address to prevent losing email once the mailserver goes back online.
Normally, we can queue your will result if you have specified a hostname as your Customer Mail Server under Mail Server Settings, and the hostname is temporarily not resolving. This happens when the authoritative nameservers for the domain are either completely unavailable, or replying with a temporary error.
However, if the authoritative nameservers are responding fine, and someone has directed them to say that the hostname doesn't exist (NXDOMAIN), then this is seen as a permanent error. You have told the public that this hostname doesn't exist. As a result, our mail server will not continue trying to send anything there, resulting in any messages to this host being removed from the queue. A Delivery Status Notification will be "returned" to the sender.
If you also user our RestorEmail Archiving service, you can redeliver such messages once your mail server is back online, as well as send and receive messages while your server is offline.

Easter Gift Giving with a Hamper
It is that time of year again. Supermarket aisles fill with pastel baskets and wispy green basket "grass". Chocolate eggs and bunnies of every kind stretch as far as the eye can see. Children enthusiastically await the arrival of the Easter Bunny. Parents anxiously await the sugar buzz chaos of Easter morning. But how did we get here?
The Origins of Easter
Before Easter became an increasingly secular holiday mostly associated with giant rabbits, bunny's and candy eggs, it was an important feast day on the Christian holy calendar. In Christian belief, a man named Jesus was born to the Virgin Mary as the son of God. Jesus was sent to save the world from the consequences of their misdeeds. In order to save humanity, Jesus needed to die. Christians believe that he was then resurrected and rose to Heaven. Easter is the celebration of this event. Many Christians will honour this feast day by attending religious services and gathering loved ones together for a special meal. Others will gift Easter eggs or Easter Hampers.
However, what many don't realise is that the origins of Easter pre-date Christianity. Tales of gods or goddesses dying and being returned to life have been told throughout history. Most share the basic symbolism of the sun dying for winter and being reborn with the coming of spring. The early Christian church made the sensible decision to blend rituals already in place for these celebrations into their traditions for Easter. And this is where the lines start to get a little blurry!
The pagans celebrated a festival, called Eostre, honoring a goddess of fertility whose symbol was a rabbit. The festival was celebrated on the spring equinox. This falls close to the time frame during which Easter is celebrated. Ever wondered where those Easter eggs came from? Eostre is also associated with eggs, whose connection to fertility is easy to see.
Celebrate Easter with a Luxury Gift Hamper
Whether your Easter traditions are religious or secular, modern or ancient in nature, one theme seems to span the centuries: sharing the moment with loved ones. And when we all gather together to share something symbolic and meaningful, giving gifts is a popular way to mark the occasion. But this year, avoid the crowded supermarket aisles. Pass up the flimsy plastic baskets. And skip those same old tired holiday candies. Instead, pamper your family with a luxury gift hamper with something to please everyone. At Pamper Hamper Gifts we have something for every Easter need!
For those seeking the traditional icons of the holiday, why not find your bunnies and eggs in an adorable Easter Eggstravaganza Gift Hamper?
Still need more of that Easter chocolate? Indulge your inner chocoholic with this Easter hamper filled to the brim with your every chocolate desire…be it melted, salted, covering fruit or in a bar. The Easter Bunny doesn't have anything on our Max Brenner Chocolate Dream Hamper!
Perhaps that special host or hostess in your life could use an Easter basket with a few more useful items inside this year? Pamper Hamper Gifts has the perfect hamper to help them prepare for the family or to restock their post-feast pantry with the Pantry Essentials Gourmet Food Hamper.
And after all the little kiddos have wound down from the excitement and headed off to bed, why not keep the holiday moment alive with a lush grownup easter basket filled with a classy assortment of wine, champagne and chocolate. Our Sweets, Champagne & Celebrations Luxury Hamper is the perfect way to finish off a holiday. Who says the Easter bunny has to forget the adults?
Looking to expand the Easter Bunny's delivery route beyond your family? At Pamper Hamper Gifts we have luxury gift hamper treats for everyone on your list, whether they are friends, neighbors or clients. And just like the Easter Bunny, we can deliver your gift hamper anywhere in Australia!

1 day of raiding
I've noticed that the less I get on WoW, the less drama I have to deal with. LOL.
Anyhow, I'm actually learning to deal with it all better..mainly by just becoming indifferent to people's retarded complaints.
I've actually been quite proud of our guild. We're doing very well with one day of progression per week. We only raid on Saturday's from 10pm-12pm (sometimes 1am)
This week was our first week to get Gruul/Mag/Hydross down. Once we start to one shot each of those bosses, I'm going to see if we can't move on to one shot either Lurker Below or Void Reaver. Probably Lurker Below.
In time, I hope that everyone in our guild will no longer need loot from Gruul's Lair and we can skip it all together and add two more bosses to our plate.
It's amazing really because you always think that progression requires multiple days per week but somehow this group is managing. Obviously we have our limitations and we'll eventually be limited by time but it's still nice that casual players can see a little of new content.

CARSON, Calif. – In what has already been a memorable year for Edson Buddle, the LA Galaxy forward received another individual honor on the eve of the MLS Cup playoffs.
On Wednesday, Buddle was selected as a finalist for the Volkswagen Most Valuable Player award, the first time in his career he's been up for the honor.
Though he led the Galaxy with a career-high 17 goals and was an instrumental part of the team, he was nevertheless surprised by the nomination.
"I didn't expect it. I still don't believe I'm one of the finalists," Buddle said after training on Thursday. "It wasn't one of my main goals. My goal was to play well and this is what happened."
Buddle faces some strong competition for the honor. San Jose's Chris Wondolowski — who snatched the Golden Boot trophy from Buddle after scoring four goals in the season's final week — and FC Dallas midfielder David Ferreira are the other finalists.
WATCH: Wondolowski casts his MVP vote
The winner will be announced on Nov. 19.
Aside from his 17 goals, another statistic in favor of Buddle: The Galaxy were 11-1-1 in games in which Buddle scored a goal, and were 4-5-3 when he played but did not score.
Adding an MVP trophy to go along with his career-high total of goals, not to mention being named to the World Cup squad, would be something else for his loved ones to revel in.
"It would be great. My family would be very proud," he said. "It doesn't stop there. I still want to play some good quality soccer the rest of my career."
That he was named an MVP finalist in a year where there were many strong individual performances speaks well of Buddle.
"That's great," Galaxy coach Bruce Arena said of Buddle's nomination. "This is a year where there were other players that could have been nominated for those awards. It's been a real good year for the league. The three candidates in all those awards are outstanding choices."
Buddle has at least one former league MVP pulling for him.
"I hope he wins," said Landon Donovan, who won the award in 2009. "If not, you don't take anything away from what he's done. I think he'd tell you he'd rather win MLS Cup than the MVP, but he's fully deserving."
Claiming the trophy this year will be difficult for any of the three finalists, Donovan said. Wondolowski led the league with 18 goals – more than half of his team's total goals this season – while Ferreira finished with eight goals and 13 assists.
"You can argue it from all standpoints," Donovan said. "They've been most valuable in the league, I would say all of them have been most valuable to their team's success this year, clearly in Wondolowski's case. They're all good candidates and any one of them deserve it."
WATCH: Donovan reveals his MVP vote ... and it's not for Buddle
Buddle was joined in the postseason nominations by a pair of teammates. Omar Gonzalez is up for Defender of the Year while Donovan Ricketts is a finalist for Goalkeeper of the Year.
For Buddle, though, the most important thing right now is what happens on the field.
"My main concern is getting back to the final," he said. "It's an honor. I'm thankful and we'll see what happens."

Fort Myers Beach Photographer | Family Vacation Photos
Fort Myers Beach Photographer Laura Michele Photos captures family vacation photos for this gorgeous family
Working around Mother Nature during the Summer months in Southwest Florida can often be a challenge, especially for outdoor family photo sessions. This turned out to be the case with this family on vacation from Cincinnati this summer. After our previously-scheduled sunset session was rained out, we opted for a morning session instead. If you're at all familiar with Fort Myers Beach's summertime weather, you know there's always a pretty good chance of showers at sunset. But the sunsets are just breathtaking, so it's definitely worth a shot.
For this family who was on vacation on Fort Myers Beach, our sunset session didn't quite work out. But the following morning was just perfect for their family photo session! And who doesn't love at least a 10 degree difference in temperature? Ha! This session was back in June (I know, I know…I'm seriously the worst blogger ever. Clearly.), so even at 8:30am is was scorching hot! We did our best to stay in the shade, but what gorgeous images came as a result. Here are just a few of the highlights from this beautiful family photo session at Lovers Key State Park, Fort Myers Beach, Florida. Enjoy!
If your family is planning a vacation to Southwest Florida, please consider Laura Michele Photos to help document and preserve this precious family memory. Even if you're already here, please contact me for any last-minute openings!
