Bean and Bowie ... woah!
Sean Bean has revealed he used to dress up like David Bowie.
The Lord Of The Rings star, who will turn 50 in April, told The Times he used to glam up like the 70s rock star when he was a teenager.
Sheffield-born Sean said: "I wore similar outfits to Bowie. The truth is, I was a clone. I dyed my hair red, wore jumpsuits and big stack heels decorated with stars.
"People in Sheffield thought I was a poof. A weirdo. Which encouraged me to do it even more. I risked getting my head kicked in for a while, but then glam rock became more mainstream and dyeing your hair, wearing make-up and dressing up became more acceptable."
...woah, that would have been something to see!
I have to admit to being very partial to Mr. Bean ... whose name was originally spelled Shaun, but he decided to change it to "Seen Bean" (as he jokes about it) because the more traditional spelling is quirkier ... which suits the movies.
It's Sean's birthday in April (he's 50! Good golly, doesn't time fly?) and we'll have to have a Special Event on the blog here when the big day comes around.

[VIDEO] 090226 E! NEWS Idol star's brother&sisters - DBSK - Junsu/Jaejoong
[News] Hyun Joong watching Mirotic concert; and his new haircut!-DBSK/TVXQ/Tohoshinki/SS501
It has been known that talent Kim Hyun Joong had attended Dong Bang Shin Ki concert personally.
He was at Dong Bang Shin Ki ' THE 3rd ASIA TOUR CONCERT-MIROTIC' concert on 22nd February in Seoul Olympic Stadium. Even amidst his busy schedule filming KBS drama 'Boys Over Flowers' he had went down personally to the concert.
It is known that Kim Hyun Joong and Dong Bang Shin Ki member Hero JaeJoong are very close friends. He had went down to the concert that day to give his encouragement and support.
Other than Kim Hyun Joong, other stars who attended the concert were national swimmer Park Tae Hwan and pop diva Lee Hyori.
On the 15th episode of KBS 'Boys Over Flowers', F4 member Yoon Ji Hoo's (Kim Hyun Joon) appearance with shorter hair has been one of the highlights to the episode.
After today's episode, netizens had went on to online noticeboards and commented about Ji Hoo's new hair, "Today, Ji Hoo's hair is really pretty" "Cuter when it is short" "Looks like he came out from teenager comics".
The reason for that was said to be that Geum JanDi (Goo Hye Sun) will be a college student from this episode onwards.

Lee Min Ho SectionTV interviewaka. [Gu Jun Pyo] keke ^^v~
SBS Section TV with Lee Yoon Ah, SBS Section TV announcer 090218
Lee Min-ho interview on SBS Entertainment Weekly
On a question that if he notices his recent popularity, He said "I just appreciate fans. My parents also enjoyed the popularity at first but now they are getting cautious since a lot of people have started to ask them for favours".
He also revealed his personal tie with Cha Beom Geun, a former coach of the Korean national football team. "I used to attend his youth football training camp through my primary school days, but I gave up the dream of becoming a football player because I liked hanging out with friends more than playing football. But I think football camp was the best memory from my childhood days and I really want to see him (Cha) again and say hello to him."
Now that you've read the translation, watch the video on YouTube. Lee Min Ho (Go Jun-pyo in Boys Before Flowers) was interviewed when he was filming a CF at Market-O! The interview starts around 3 minutes into the 7 minute video clip.
Lee Min-ho tells the reporter that he adores
petite and fair skinned girls
Oh yes, here's another piece on up and rising Boys Before Flowers star Lee Min-ho.
Over an interview on SBS' Entertainment Weekly which was aired on 18 Feb, Lee Min-ho talks about the girls he's dated, his recent rise to stardom and memories at football training camp.
The SBS lady who interviewed Lee asked if he has dated many girls before. Lee said, "Not really, about two only." He added, "I think I am attracted to people who are the opposite of me. I'm tall and dark and so I adore petite and fair skinned girls. I wouldn't mind how old she is."
Min-ho is usually so busy and stressed with such a
hectic schedule that he hardly has time to eat!
Today, a specially packed lunch with heart
shaped seaweed embedded in the rice was
presented to him. He eats it happily!
The Boys Over Flowers, F4 gang look-a-likes finally made their debut on Star King! And the resemblance is uncanny!
Who do you prefer? The originals or the look-a-likes?

Men in tights: booboos in the Green Wood
This tipped me off to something weird happening:
Russell Crowe's Robin Hood to woo Cate Blanchett as Maid Marian: Will he finally be reunited with Oscars as well?
I mean, it's good news: "Because Cate Blanchett and her playwright husband Andrew Upton are co-artistic directors of the Sydney Theatre Company she has scaled back her film commitments to barely one a year. That makes the news that Blanchett is about to sign up to play Maid Marian opposite Russell Crowe's Robin Hood even more intriguing."
Great news, in fact, but --
The last time I looked, Russell Crowe was going to be playing the SHERIFF to Christian Bale's Robin. I admit, it's a few months since I looked, but ... this was it. Well, as of 02-28-09, try this one on for size:
The above is a screen-cap from the important part of the 2009 Robin Hood page at IMDB.
Christian Bale is nowhere in sight, and Russell will be playing (OMIGOD!!) both Robin and the Sheriff --
He's going to hunt himself down! He's going to promise to hang and/or behead himself! He's going to menace Maid Marian for being in love with him! He's going to betray himself to Prince John!
Pardon me, folks, but I know the story. I grew up with Robin Hood. He might have been Errol Flynn, or Michael Praed, or Sean Connery, or Jason Connery, or Richard Green, or Cary Elwes, or even (god help us) Kevin Costner. But I grew up with the legend, the mythos, the story, the whole bucket-of-bolts, and I can tell you for a fact, Robin Hood is not, nor was he ever, the Sheriff of Nottingham.
So --WTF?! And here's where I throw up my hands (not to mention my brekkie) and paste in some eye candy instead. So, what the hey, here goes -- Errol, Cary and Michael, in order:

Tom Hanks: a tale of typewriters and anti-matter!
Turns out, Tom Hanks has an "obsession" for collecting stuff -- but not any kind of stuff. He has a passion for typewriters!
This snippet is running on One India: "Tom Hank's obsession costs him a fortune. The Hollywood superstar has revealed that he has a weakness for typewriters and ends up paying a fortunes for the shipping charges of his goods from all across the globe. The Oscar winner has more than a 100 manual, portable typewriters. "(I collect them) from the 1930s until they stopped making them," Contactmusic quoted him as saying. "I bought a $5 typewriter from Australia that cost me $85 to ship," he said The actor confesses that his hobby some times burns his pockets badly." (http://living.oneindia.in/insync/2009/tom-hanks-typewriter-190209.html)
Good golly, I remember my first four or five typewriters. As much as I love computers, I wish still had my portable word-basher-outer. Nobody makes them these days -- and I guess the big problem is, even if you did have one, you couldn't get the ribbons for them. Rats.
From one end of the tech spectrum to the other, lets leapfrom from India to Europe ... where Tom has been signed to (get this) restart the Large Hadron Collider!
This is actually pretty darned cool, if you like your high-tech stuff: "Tom Hanks, he of Forrest Gump fame, has been signed up to restart the Large Hadron Collider. The announcement is sure to finally garner some positive press for the presumably highly stressed scientists at Cern, who are busy trying to get the LHC fully functional. As bizarre as the link-up sounds, there's some method in the madness behind getting Mr Hanks on board. The Hollywood star is about to embark on a tour-de-force PR campaign for his latest film Angels And Demons. The movie, based on the book by Dan Brown, features Cern as part of the plot that involves the stealing of some anti-matter from the particle physics laboratory. Speaking about his involvement with the LHC, Hanks told journalists: "I found out today that if I stuck my hand into the particle accelerator, it would disappear, and antimatter would be created." (http://www.techradar.com/news/world-of-tech/future-tech/tom-hanks-roped-in-to-restart-hadron-collider-533467)
Please don't, Tom! Shove something else in there -- like, your lunch, or the pencil sharpener, or someone's mobile phone that won't stop going off!
Eye candy? What's that you say? Eye candy, please?! Okay, gimme a reason why not...
Get ready for STAR WARS: THE MUSICAL!
In fact, there was also a Doctor Who take on this same thing, Music and Monsters ... I have it on DVD, and it works extremely well.
Anyway, if this is your thing (and it could be great) see the full story right here: LucasFilm Says "Star Wars: A Musical Journey" Bound For U.S. ... the story popped up on Rolling Stone a few hours ago. Remember, you heard it here first. Well -- actually second. I guess Rolling Stone was first...
And while we're on the subject of Star Wars, there is something you HAVE to see. Have you got about fifteen minutes, and a beer, and no fear for your ribs??? Because you're going to break several laughing. See this: The STAR WARS ASCIImation ... there's a whacko programmer in Kiwi country who has waaaaay too much time on his hands. It's big fun. Enjoy.
And how's about some eye candy while we're here?!
And before anybody says a word ... I was a Han Solo freak. The Han Solo freak is still hiding inside, waiting for a chance to escape...

House GOP Proposes Cuts to Sex Ed, Women's Health Programs
ST. LOUIS - In the name of balancing the federal budget, House Republicans have proposed cuts for teen pregnancy prevention programs, slashing funding from $110 million to $20 million. The proposal also revives funding for abstinence-only sex education programs, which research has shown have not been effective.
In Missouri, Allison Hile, executive director of the Teen Pregnancy and Prevention Partnership, says it isn't smart policy to move away from evidence-based sex education.
"If Congress really wanted to save money, they wouldn't be worried about the tiny bit they spend on preventing teen pregnancies. That has nothing to do with balancing the budget. It has everything to do with political posturing. And I think Congress is not aware of the fact that the majority of parents actually support comprehensive sex education."
Abstinence-only sex education had been practically eliminated after more than a decade of investing in programs that research found to be ineffective at reducing teen sexual activity. To bring it back, says the Rev. Rebecca Turner, executive director of Faith Aloud, is a step backward for communities as well as teens.
"Teen pregnancy is a concern for faith communities as well as a public health problem. It takes all of us working together to support teens with the very best information that's available."
Funding comprehensive sex education and family planning programs saves taxpayers' money in terms of Medicaid costs, Hile says.
"We know that every dollar spent on family-planning programs saves $5. So, we're actually wasting money by not funding family planning."
The proposed cuts to family planning services would affect an estimated 5 million low-income people. However, the idea is likely to meet strong resistance in the Senate, which did not include these cuts in its version of the spending bill.

Treat the Earth well. It was not given to you by your parents. It was loaned to you by your children. -Kenyan Proverb
Monthly Archives: April 2009
Quote of the Day
In The Air
The first celebration of Earth Day, on April 22, 1970, was a raucously exuberant affair. In New York, Fifth Avenue was closed to traffic. People picnicked on the sidewalk; dead fish were dragged through midtown; and Governor Nelson Rockefeller rode a bicycle across Prospect Park. Students in Richmond, Virginia, handed out bags of dirt (to represent the "good earth"); demonstrators in Washington poured oil onto the sidewalk in front of the Interior Department (to protest recent oil spills); and in Bloomington, Indiana, women dressed as witches threw birth-control pills into the crowd (no one was quite sure why). All told, some twenty million Americans took part—far more than the man who thought up the occasion, Senator Gaylord Nelson, Democrat of Wisconsin, had expected. "That was the remarkable thing about Earth Day," Nelson later said. "It organized itself."

Certainly an inspiration.
The Claim: Nasal Irrigation Can Ease Allergy Symptoms
by Anahad O'Connor
Pollen forecasters are predicting a heavy season this year, so allergy sufferers may be struggling to find relief.
For some, the neti pot, a nasal irrigator that resembles a small teapot, has become an alternative remedy. While it is not nearly as convenient as popping a pill or using a spray, several recent studies have found that nasal irrigation can reduce symptoms of allergies and other nasal problems.
One benefit is that irrigation can clear nasal passages without dryness or "rebound" congestion, which occurs when overuse of decongestants leads to dependence and irritated tissue.
In one independent study in 2008, researchers examined a group of children with severe allergies. They found that regular nasal irrigation with a mild saline solution significantly eased symptoms and helped reduce the need for steroid nasal sprays. A 2007 study at the University of Michigan looked at 121 adults with chronic nasal and sinus problems. Over two months, the scientists found that those treated with nasal irrigation reported greater improvements than those treated with a spray.
Other research, including an analysis of studies in the Cochrane database in 2007, found that it can be an inexpensive adjunct to medication: most neti pots are about $10.

User level
This is a practical guide to what you need to know to work with the required changes that have been made to policy files in Adobe Flash Player 9 and will be made in Flash Player 10 beta. If you would like to understand why these changes are being made, or how you as a site owner can opt-in to increased permission control, please also read Understanding security changes in Flash Player 10 beta.
Policy files are the core of the permission system that Flash Player uses to let server owners decide which SWF files are allowed to interact with the server and control what those SWF files can do when interacting with the server. The standard permission for the web is to allow a lot of actions to happen only when everything is on the exact same web domain. Policy files let the server choose to expand that permission to allow a lot of powerful applications to be built using resources outside the web domain of the SWF file. For example, to allow SWF files to make use of public APIs, sites such as Flickr have policy files that let anyone connect and load the data back into their SWF file.
Over time, it has been necessary to make refinements to how policy files work to maintain the best possible security for users and servers while still allowing the flexibility that Flash Player has always offered developers. In this article, you will see details of what changes have been made and when they were added to Flash Player.
Once a version of Flash Player has been released, you will begin to encounter users with the new requirements regardless of the version of Flash for which you have exported. At minimum, you should be prepared to encounter users with the security changes that have been made through Flash Player 9,0,124,0. While Flash Player 10 beta security changes are not yet generally deployed, Flash Player 10 beta is available as a public prerelease on Adobe Labs and will be the current version in the near future. Adobe recommends planning ahead for all preannounced security changes to avoid impacting your content.
Policy file security changes by version
Table 1 is a list of security changes that have been made around policy files that may impact existing customers. Each section adds on to the changes made in the previous player. For example, for a complete list of the modifications that may be encountered in Flash Player 9,0,115,0, you will need to read the sections on both 9,0,47,0 and 9,0,115,0.
This table is a quick reference to the topics that are covered in each section. Each topic is covered in the section about the Flash Player that introduced the change.
Table 1. Coverage of security changes by Flash version
|Security change
|Flash Player 9,0,47,0
|Flash Player 9,0,115,0
|Flash Player 9,0,124,0
|Flash Player 10,0,2,xx
|Strict XML parsing
|Opt-in meta-policies
|Redirect strictness
|Policy file content-type
|Master socket policy port
|Local socket strictness
|Required socket policy
|Cross-domain header policy
|Required meta-policy
Flash Player 9,0,47,0 and later
Release date: July 2007
Impact: Few developers should be impacted by this change.
Policy files must be valid XML. Invalid XML will cause the policy file to be ignored. Strict XML parsing does not affect the ActionScript XML parser in any way.
Flash Player 9,0,115,0 and later
Release date: December 2007
Impact: If you depend on policy files for access to a server that is not under your direct control, you should verify that your content works as intended.
Description: When parsing either an HTTP or socket policy file at the master location, Flash Player will look for optional meta-policies that determine whether other policy files on the same server should be used or ignored. Meta-policies can also be declared in HTTP response headers, but this is less common.
For a site like www.example.com, the master HTTP policy file is at http://www.example.com/crossdomain.xml. For a socket connection to www.example.com, the master socket policy file is from a socket connection to www.example.com on port 843.
If you make use of policy files in non-master locations, data loading could be affected if the master policy file contains meta-policies that disallow other policy files. If the server that you are accessing has no meta-policy, Flash Player will honor non-master policy files.
Note: In Flash Player 10 beta, the default will change for HTTP meta-policies. If a master HTTP policy file does not exist or lacks a meta-policy allowing additional policy files, non-master policy files on that HTTP server will be ignored by Flash Player. See the section on Flash Player 10 beta for more information.
Impact: Anyone using server redirects should review their SWF content to ensure that policy files continue to work as expected.
Description: If the web server redirects the request for a policy file to a URL within the same domain, Flash Player will accept the policy file, but it will use the final URL (post-redirect) as if Flash Player had originally requested that final URL. Permissions will only be granted based on the location of the policy file's final URL. For example, if http://www.example.com/directoryA/crossdomain.xml redirected to http://www.example.com/directoryB/crossdomain.xml, Flash Player would allow access to anything within directoryB but would not allow access to directoryA.
Redirects to policy files outside the originally requested domain will continue to cause policy files to be ignored by Flash Player.
Impact: Few developers should be impacted by this change. If your web server is highly customized or specialized, you should review the content-type configuration for your server. Also, if you use nonstandard names for policy files, make sure that your policy files' names are associated with a textual content-type.
Description: Policy files must have an appropriate content-type header supplied by the web server. Policy files that lack a content-type header or have an unusual value will be ignored by Flash Player. Valid content-type values are:
Content-type is set by the web server and is frequently assigned based on the file extension. Most web servers should set the content-type to one of the values above. If you need to change your content type for policy files, please consult the documentation for your web server.
If you are making a change, a recommended value for cross domain policy files is:
Impact: Users may experience a several-second delay in connecting to a socket server if a master socket policy server is not present.
Description: If a socket connection has not been previously authorized by a socket policy file, Flash Player will attempt to connect to the host server at port 843 to load a master socket policy file for the domain. A socket policy file on port 843 can also set meta-policies for socket connections to that host.
Impact: Developers connecting to localhost sockets will need to verify that their content works as intended. Normal web content is not affected by this change.
Description: A socket policy file must be used for any local socket connections, regardless of the domain of the SWF file or the port that is being connected. For more information, read Setting up a socket policy file server, which gives sample code and a description of the various options available.
Flash Player 9,0,124,0 and later
Release date: April 2008 (current version of Flash Player)
Impact: Many developers using cross-domain socket communication will need to change their socket policy file configuration.
Description: Policy files served over HTTP may no longer be used to authorize socket connections to that server. Instead, the connection must be authorized through a socket policy file. A socket policy file is a socket connection that is used to send Flash Player the XML containing the policy.
Loading the socket policy file is a separate process from establishing the main socket connection. A special server is needed to provide a socket policy file.
For more information, read Setting up a socket policy file server, which gives sample code and a description of the various options available.
Impact: This will affect any content making socket connections to its own host without socket policy files.
Description: Socket communication to any port on any domain now requires a socket policy file. Previously, connections to the same host as the SWF file on a port higher than 1024 were allowed without a policy. This configuration is no longer permitted.
Impact: Developers of SWF files that send custom HTTP headers on network requests across domains will need to verify that their content works as intended.
Description: SWF content that adds custom headers to network requests going to a different domain requires a policy file that permits each specific header that will be sent. This change is true for both one-way and roundtrip network APIs. Here is an example of a policy file that permits custom HTTP headers:
<allow-http-request-headers-from domain="trusted.com" headers="*"/>
<allow-http-request-headers-from domain="*" headers="X-Harmless-Header"/>
For further examples of how to configure a policy file to allow headers to be allowed by a domain, see the following TechNote: Arbitrary headers are not sent from Flash Player to a remote domain. For more information on headers and policy files, read the policy file section in "Understanding Flash Player 9 April 2008 Security Update compatibility."
Flash Player 10,0,2,xx and later
Release date: Not yet released. Available as a public prerelease on Adobe Labs.
While configuring your content for changes made in Flash Player 9,0,124,0 and previous versions is all that is necessary today, Adobe strongly suggests preparing for Flash Player 10 beta changes now to avoid content disruption when Flash Player 10 beta is released.
If you would like to test your content with the security changes made in Flash Player 10 beta, you can download it from Adobe Labs.
Impact: This will affect any content that makes use of non-master HTTP policy files. Content that uses the loadPolicyFile API will usually be affected. Also, SWF files that load data from content delivery networks (CDNs) or other hosting situations where it is challenging to place files in the root directory of a server should plan ahead immediately.
Description: Any server that intends to permit data-loading by SWF files on a different domain must place a policy file in the master location (/crossdomain.xml). Other policy files can still be used on the server; however, they must be authorized through the use of meta-policies in the master policy file. If the master policy file is not in the master location, does not contain meta-policies, or is set to master-only, other policy files on the domain will be ignored by Flash Player.
If it is infeasible or undesirable to create a policy file in the master location, a meta-policy can also be declared using HTTP response headers. See the meta-policies section in "Policy file changes in Flash Player 9."
If you prefer to manage policy files on a per-directory basis, you can set up a master policy file that only sets a meta-policy. This can allow other policy files to be used without the master policy file declaring any specific permissions itself. Here are some examples of this configuration:
- If you have complete control of all content served by your server, and there is no possibility that users or unauthorized content contributors could create a policy file on your server, then you can use the meta-policy
all, allowing any file on the server to be used as a policy file:
<site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="all"/>
- If you want to prevent unauthorized parties from creating a policy file on your server, you can use the meta-policy
by-content-type, allowing any file on the server with the content-type
text/x-cross-domain-policyto be used as a policy file:
<site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="by-content-type"/>
Where to go from here
To test that your content will work with the policy file changes in Flash Player 9 and 10, you can download and install Flash Player 10 beta from Adobe Labs. This version of Flash Player includes all the security changes listed in this article as well as the other security model changes that have been preannounced for Flash Player 10 beta.
You can also turn on logging to have Flash Player record a list of errors that are encountered as a result of the policy file changes. To enable logging, follow the instructions in the logging section in "Policy file changes in Flash Player 9 and Flash Player 10 beta."
Meta-policies are an important part of refining policy file usage on servers. As either a content developer or server administrator, you should become familiar with the options that are available. For a detailed description and how they apply to HTTP and socket polcies, read the meta-policies section in "Policy file changes in Flash Player 9 and Flash Player 10 beta."

[tweetmeme source="http://www.twitter.com/dijuliusgroup"]Quality training must include systems and processes that remove variation and provide a consistent customer experience. A common misconception is that the only way to get better people is to pay more than everyone else. There are many great examples of world-class companies who do not necessarily pay better than their competitors. In fact, employees at Disney, Starbucks and Nordstrom are hired from the same labor pool every other organization uses and are paid the going rates. The real reason why Disney employees are so good at customer service is how well they are transformed into Walt Disney Cast Members, which occurs in their training. In most cases, the most recently hired, least trained, lowest-paid employees deal with the customers the most.
What determines the consistency of delivering the experience is the quality of the systems and training that every new and existing employee goes through. Just like in sports, the contest, match, or game, is decided long before the actual event takes place. It is won in the practice and the preparation leading up to the event.
Inadequate training is definitely the biggest underlying reason for the inconsistency and scarcity of great customer service. Companies skimp on training because it costs money, but companies that invest in customer service by training their new employees reap great financial benefits.
To be a world-class customer service organization, your training should include the following:
- A company orientation that covers company policy and the company's history.
- The functional components of the specific job.
- The operational procedures of the job.
- All technical training, including product knowledge, use of equipment/tools, software and other technology, plus scope of services.
- Experiential training on soft skills (especially how to create relationships and personalize encounters), preventing customers from feeling like transactions, and customer recovery techniques.
- On-the-job shadowing.
- Testing and certification, including extensive testing on experiential skills.
Map the Customer's Experience Journey
Identify all the significant points of interaction, called "stages," that your customers may have with your company. Once you have mapped out your customer experience stages, you need to get your employees involved in helping to create what those stages should look like. You then break each stage down into four individual components:
1) Service Defects – All the things that can ruin the customer's experience at this stage.
2) Operational Standards – All the tasks or jobs for each stage.
3) Experiential Standards – The actions that will create an exceptional experience and a raving fan.
4) Above-and-Beyond Opportunities – Common situations that we want our front-line employees to recognize and be prepared for in order to make a customer's day.
Let your team help create this experience. Once you have your final version of service defects, standards, and above-and-beyond opportunities, you can create a training manual that all new employees get trained and tested on during their first two weeks with your company.
Action Plan
It is imperative for companies to ensure that every employee – new and existing – truly understands the organization's Customer Experience Promise. The Customer Experience Promise is what the organization is supposed to deliver to their customers, consistently, at every stage of interaction. Every employee needs to understand the importance of each point of contact, what to avoid, the company's non-negotiable standards that every customer must receive, and the potential opportunities to really "wow" them. Organizations need to make sure their Customer Experience Promise is structured in such a way that all employees learn, understand and execute it.

How To Calm Your Child Down At The Dentist's Office
Having a child freak out at the dentist's office is never fun. It makes the dentist's job harder, it slows the dentist down and makes everyone else in the room have to wait longer, and it means that you have to watch your child in obvious emotional distress. In order to make sure that all of the energy you put into setting up this appointment and getting your child to go isn't wasted, you need to figure out a way to calm your child down enough for the dentist to do his or her job. Here are some ways that you can do this.
1. Distract Them
The easiest way to get your child to calm down is to make him or her forget that he or she is in a dentist's office in the first place. This is critical because it essentially disconnects the association of danger and his or her current situation, allowing the dentist to swiftly look at your child's teeth and decide if any further actions need to be taken. Some ways that you can distract your child at the dentist's office include reading him or her a book out loud, listening to his or her favorite song, putting on a movie, or telling a story about your childhood or some other story you think that your child would enjoy.
2. Convince Them That All Sensations Feel Like Tickling
Next, if your dentist decides that your child needs to have his or her teeth professionally cleaned, you are in for another challenge. Dentist's tools make scary noises, even the benign ones such as the spinning toothbrushes. In order to get your child to remain calm during this process, you need to draw attention to the fact that he or she isn't actually in any pain during the cleaning process. The noises are just scary and he or she is feeling emotionally distressed because of it.
The physical sensation he or she feels is not pain. Ask your child a bunch of questions about how it feels like he or she is being tickled and talk about how you always laugh when you're at the dentist because the dentist keeps tickling the inside of your mouth. This will force your child to focus on the physical sensation that he or she actually feels, rather than on his or her fear.
3. Reward Them
Finally, you are going to need to reward your child for going to the dentist and remind him or her of that reward. Make sure that your child knows that he or she will not get the reward unless the dentist is able to finish the job and he or she is good while in the chair.
For more information, talk to a local dentist, like Adams Dental Center.

It's been a rough winter in Chicago, even by local standards. Which means you could use a break from the arctic chill and abundant snowfall with a warm weather getaway.
Fortunately, Arizona is the answer to your cabin fever. Bright sunshine, fantastic weather and breathtaking landscapes make Arizona an outdoor adventurist's paradise, no matter what time of year. And thanks to the state's unique geography, you can ascend from desert to Alpine pine forests in two hours, or even golf and wakeboard all in the same day. Add charming towns, luxurious spas and a warm climate ideal for getting outdoors, and you'll realize why Arizona is the perfect destination for a memorable and laid-back winter getaway.
But with so much to experience, it helps having a to do list before you book your trip. Which is why we've put together a few of our favorite Arizona adventures.
Any state that's home to the Grand Canyon is clearly blessed in the hiking department. But beyond Grand Canyon National Park (which can be explored by easy rim hikes or rigorous multi-day backpacking trips), Arizona offers some of America's best hiking through some of its most stunning landscapes. Our favorite trips include Antelope Canyon, a narrow slot canyon on Navajo land where beams of light illuminate the cavernous surroundings, and Sedona, where an extensive network of trails and unique Red Rock formations (like Cathedral Rock) make for a breathtakingly beautiful day on the trail. Feel like escaping the heat and getting even further away from it all? Head to the White Mountains, where you'll be greeted by lush Ponderosa Pines and powdery ski slopes.
Fun on the Water
With three hundred days of sunshine a year and 60 miles of pristine waterways, Lake Havasu is a perfect playground for any boating enthusiast. Known as the "Jet Ski Capital of the World," it's also ideal for wakeboarding, flyboarding, kayaking and fishing, not to mention laying out on its pristine beaches. But the fun isn't limited to the water — golf courses, casinos and miles of off-roading trails will keep you entertained all day.
Arizona's golf courses are as diverse and spectacular as the state's famed landscape. Ranging from desert target-style courses to links courses and alpine fairways, nearly every type of terrain—and difficulty level—is represented. And with more than 300 golf courses to choose from, you're sure to find an ideal location for your golf getaway, not to mention a tee time that fits both your budget and your sense of adventure. Winter is a particularly good time to perfect your game, as courses in warm spots like Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tucson and Lake Havasu are in peak season.
Of course all your adventuring should be rewarded with some pampering, and fortunately Arizona is equally blessed in the spa department. From Asian-inspired settings to Spanish-style retreats, Arizona's spas have been lauded by the likes of Conde Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure and Zagat. Treat yourself to Mediterranean treatments, or stay local with body wraps, scrubs and therapies all using local ingredients and Native American traditions. In Arizona, the spa options are endless.

A 66-year-old California woman was conned out of $500,000 by a man she met on the online dating site Christianmingle.com.
The site bills itself as a place where Christians can "Find God's Match For You," claiming that its "deepest desire is to see our members grow in their relationship with Christ while living out their spiritual journeys." It is, in its words, "a tool God can and has used to bring people together," but in this case it introduced a San Jose divorcee to a Nigerian scam-artist who went by the name "David Holmes."
According to Deputy District Attorney Cherie Bourland, "Holmes" claimed to be an Irish citizen working on a Scottish oil platform. "There had been phone calls," she said. "He did not seem to have a Nigerian accent. He sent her flowers. But they never met in person."
Thee image "Holmes" used on the website was a stock photograph of a male model. Bourland discovered that the man was Nigerian by examining the metadata in emails he sent to the victim, for whom she expressed sympathy: "You get the love drug in you and you end up getting duped," she said.
According to Bourland, "Holmes" convinced his victim to empty her retirement account and wire him $300,000 as a loan to start his own oil business. She then wired another $200,000 to him via a bank in Turkey, but contacted the district attorney's office shortly thereafter.
Bourland took the case, and emailed the Turkish bank to stop payment on the $200,000, which it did. When, the next day, a Nigerian national named Wisdom Onokpite attempted to withdraw the funds, Turkish National Police arrested him on suspicion of committing bank and international wire fraud.
"When we heard someone had been arrested, our mouths dropped," Bourland said. "It was exciting."
Onokpite was not, however, the man posing as "David Holmes," merely an associate sent to Turkey to retrieve the $200,000. Because of the difficulty involved in tracking overseas bank transactions, it is unlikely the victim will be able to recoup the initial $300,000 loss.

Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein
This my favorite story opening of all time. Do you grok this? I mean, do you really grok this? Valentine Michael Smith is the first Martian to return to Earth and discovers a civilization and culture he does not understand, and vice versa. The first ten pages are really strong in the Heilein tradition before going off the rails the second half. To me, the dark ending and overall message doesn't detract on wonderful storytelling and powerful ideas he was trying to convey.
The story itself is almost a story of what if your religion's prophet returned. Would you recognize him? Would he be warmly accepted and embraced, or would the religious powers that be wage a campaign against him (as far as I know, most major religions somehow only expect it to be a man for some reason).
I mean, cult-like figures always meet a tragic end, right?
On a side note, if you are ever out on a blind date, and think you are being clever by asking your date if she groks you, believe me, this is a poor move. This can only be a punchline at the nerdiest of nerdy events, say ComiCon or WorldCon, and your odds then are maybe only 20% at most. Bonus points if you drop the line in a swimming pool, if so, please email or tweet me and tell me your story.
Book Rating: First Half 10/10, Second Half 5/10

Yes, like a cow, but this evaluation has nothing to do with cows – it is in regards to the printing company Moo I'd by no means even heard of the corporate till less than two months ago, but now I'm a die onerous devotee. It is business associates such as you who make our jobs a pleasure and keep our firm profitable. Business cards are a easy way to set up your brand, which in flip makes your business more simply recognized. Should you want to use a larger sized card you'll be able to change the scale by deciding on it within the labels and envelopes. Cards are sold at competitive rates and other companies could be offered with the service. I've been involved in a number of fund raising groups and non-income and getting free adverts is at all times work. I work 30 hours per week on the school and am still in a position to run my eBay business.
Because the variety of business cards that may need to be made is usually quite excessive, they need to be as low-cost as possible with out trying bad quality, AND they should be reasonably quick to make. I even have a different enterprise card with different title and layout, model and content for different networking circumstances. The nice majority of business cards on the market leave no real impression and shortly turn out to be a faint memory. You need to community with as many individuals as possible and get your small business out there to be seen. This lets individuals you come in contact with know what you do. I obtained a number of business this way.

Elder people, just like young people, need to relocate once in a while. Most young people need to move to a new home or town because of their jobs or because they want a house with a more extensive space in a different location. Seniors also can relocate to a new residence because of various reasons. Maybe they want to move to a smaller area or because they want to avoid loneliness by moving in with their grown-up children. However, senior moving specialist in La Mesa has made it clear that relocation can be quite challenging for seniors due to their age. Keeping specific factors in mind will help ensure that the moving process is smooth and easy to handle.
Deal with memories in the old house
The relocation can even drain the person's emotions more if they have been living in the same house their whole lives or it is where they brought their children up. Some of these seniors have spent many happy years with their husbands or their wives. It is therefore essential to come to terms with the fact that you are moving away and you are going to leave all these memories behind.
Give them enough time and space to adjust
Therefore, before the relocation, the elder person needs to take enough time and space to change. Moving is a whole process that involves many steps, and every action needs to be taken with enough caution. Make sure that the senior has adjusted before they even start looking for the best senior moving company in La Mesa to help them spend less money in moving. If they do not fit before they start moving, they might end up feeling lonely and empty in their new home. If they are not able to adjust on their own, you can consider seeking assistance from senior moving assistance in La Mesa.
Assign them the easy tasks
It is true to say that relocation is a time-consuming process. Moving to a senior person cannot be compared to that of a young person. It is possible for an old person to look for something for hours, maybe because they have not used it for a long time. In most cases, seniors want to assist in everything, including the moving process. Some will tell you that they want to help in searching for senior citizen moving companies in La Mesa. However, their assistance might tend to be a barrier to the success and speed of the entire process because their bodies are not very flexible and responsive to their minds and brains, or maybe their response is not as fast as we might expect.
To make the process easier, you will have to give them easy tasks and let them take their time to accomplish those tasks. As they deal with the easy tasks, you will be completing the challenging ones such as packing in small boxes and organizing all the items. You should also be responsible for contacting the most affordable moving company and making sure that the new home or town is ready to accommodate the senior.

Writing is like a double-edged sword – it could be both advantageous and disadvantageous at the same time. Unlike speaking, writing could be reviewed and edited as long as you have enough time. However, talking about the latter, published work is irreversible be it printed or digital.
That's why it is crucial to be detail-oriented in writing. The process wouldn't be an overnight success – it is a combination of different factors and habits that leads to development of this skill. Here are five tips from our teachers that would help you along the way:
"Picture the flow of your piece."
– Teacher Rolando
To make a clear map of your piece, it would help to be specific with your topic, determine the scope of your essay and discern the purpose of writing your piece. Start with tailoring the three important parts: introduction, body, and conclusion.
"Study basic grammar rules first before complex grammar rules/ structures."
–Teacher Jesheamor
Grammar, as Merriam-Webster dictionary suggests, is "the set of rules that explain how words are used in a language". Sure, there a lot of rules and exceptions in studying a language, that is the point why it is important to start with the basics alongside with simple sentences to complex ones. Familiarize yourself with the figures of speech, subject verb agreement, clauses and phrases, punctuation rules and many more. Check out http://www.grammarbook.com for helpful and comprehensible explanations.
"List down 5-10 new words everyday."
-Teacher Geralyn
There are may words that could describe a single event and as soon as you expand your vocabulary, the more specific and clearer your sentences would be. Writing 5-10 words everyday is a good start when developing your skill. Review the words you have learned in class and try to use them in a sentence till you master their usage.
"Read different kinds of articles."
-Teacher Rolando
Writing style is the product of your own imagination plus all those you have read. Developing one's personal writing style involves taking into account the voice of other writers. Reading different kinds of articles can also help you be familiarized with sentence structures, vocabulary, and word usage.
"Keep a journal."
– Teacher Areya
The daily writing practice serves as a whetstone to enhance writing skills. Few months or years upon writing consistently, you could go back to the earlier dates and "evaluate" how much you have improved. Start by writing about your day and try to be as descriptive as you can. Remember: Practice, practice, practice.
"Join writing contest."
– Teacher Ana
Joining writing contest or any other contests for that matter is not only about winning. Of course, winning would be the best thing after putting your masterpiece out there, but there are other ways that joining a contest is beneficial. It is a good way to test your ideas, challenge yourself, and show your talent.
Have you heard of the Photo Essay Contest? Monol International Education Institute encourages students to participate in the said competition held per batch.
Challenge yourself!

Knowing what you want out of a life is a big decision to make. Everyone realizes what they want in life at different times, but many have whiffs of where they would like to be during college. The issue here is that people change and so do hopes and dream. There is nothing you can do about your changing feels, but when you have a strong feeling about something you should jump on it. If you are one of those people whose dreams change every month, you might want to reevaluate where you are in your life now and where you see yourself in the future.
Write, write, write
A great way to see where you stand is to sit down and write your feelings and where you are in life right now. This could take up one page or ten pages, but the point is to see where your mind is at if you have been indecisive. If you notice some entrepreneurial talk such as opening and owning businesses, you might consider going to school for business or marketing. If you see you are very creative and almost make it like a story, you may be into creative writing or journalism. This is your call and up to you to decide where you want to be. Your writing can say a lot about who you are and what inner feelings you are having. Try this method and see if it helps you.
Career center
If you are in college, your school probably has a career center. You should take advantage and pay a visit to the center. There are tests you should be able to take that will show you your strengths and weaknesses. You do not have to go through with the options provided through the tests, but it is a good idea to see where you would succeed. You want to keep an open mind and understand that in college your life is still a budding blossom. There is a lot of time left for you to make your final decisions on there you want to be and that make not come until years down the road. Do your best to understand where you are at this point in time and take it from there. Good luck!

SEABROOK – The General Assembly session ended Monday with a flurry of votes, and as the dust settles stakeholders are claiming wins – or lamenting losses.
Among those celebrating was Gov. Larry Hogan (R), who saw many of his top priorities pass both houses this session. They included repealing the "Road Kill Bill," which created a formula for funding state road improvement projects rather than let the counties and governor rank them themselves; expanding manufacturing opportunities on the Eastern Shore and Baltimore City with a tax credit via the More Jobs for Marylanders Act; and improving government ethics with the Public Integrity Act of 2017, which restricts legislators from making laws to benefit their or their families' business interests.
"I commend Senate President Mike Miller, House Speaker Mike Busch and the Maryland General Assembly for working with our administration in a bipartisan fashion to unanimously pass the most important and transformative ethics reform legislation in over a decade," Hogan said. "With this legislation, we are reaffirming our promise and commitment to the accountability, transparency, and fairness that the people of Maryland deserve."
A bill specific to ethics on Prince George's County's liquor board also passed on the last day of session. It gives the power to make liquor board appointments to the county executive instead of the governor, and requires county council confirmation, as well as geographic, racial, ethnic and other diversity on the board. Liquor board members must also have professional experience in the field and abide by county ethics laws.
A bill expanding P-TECH training programs in schools also became law. Hogan also lauded the passage of the Taxpayer Protection Act (which helps safeguard tax filers' privacy and allows preparers who attempt to misuse taxpayer identities to be charged), the Clean Cars Act, and several measures design to address the opioid overdose epidemic in the state.
"Creating jobs, building roads, and ensuring ethical and transparent government will always be top priorities of our administration," Hogan said to sum up the session. "I want to thank Senate President Miller, Speaker of the House Busch, and all of the members of the Maryland General Assembly who worked with us to achieve these tremendous results for the citizens of our great state."
However, not everything went the governor's way this session. Hogan's veto of the Protect Our Schools Act was overridden by the General Assembly. The bill aims to change how school achievement is measured. Also, the General Assembly did pass a measure to tackle redistricting reform, but the proposal is weaker than the one Hogan put forward and is contingent on other mid-Atlantic states doing the same. Hogan's paid sick leave proposal also failed to advance, with Democratic leaders instead choosing to enact their own version that Hogan and business groups believe would be more burdensome to employers. It requires companies with 15 or more employees to offer full-time workers at least seven paid sick leave days per year. Part-time employees would be eligible for leave based on the number of hours they work.
Prince George's County officials, meanwhile, praised the sick leave bill. County Councilman Mel Franklin, who was chair of the council in 2015 when it endorsed a statewide paid sick leave proposal, said the move was a win for families.
"It is particularly important that this benefit will extend to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The statewide approach for this policy will ensure that Prince George's County businesses are not competing at a disadvantage with other Maryland counties," Franklin said. "I congratulate the General Assembly and urge Gov. Hogan to sign this family-friendly legislation."
County Executive Rushern Baker, III agreed.
"This is an important day for the working families and children of Maryland," he said. "With the passage of this legislation, more employees will not have to choose between staying home with a sick child or going to work because they do not have leave. I applaud the General Assembly and its leadership for moving Maryland closer to becoming that eighth state to make this important benefit a reality. This vote shows that Maryland supports its working families."
Hogan has pledged to veto the measure, and with the General Assembly adjourned until next year, that veto won't be overridden until January 2017 at the earliest.
Environmentalists in the state got a huge win earlier in the session with the passage of a statewide ban on fracking, which Hogan signed into law. Last year, Prince George's County became the first county in Maryland to ban the practice, and the state has followed its lead.
Many grassroots and environmental organizations lobbied and rallied in Annapolis to ban fracking, which is a method of extracting natural gas by pumping high-pressure water and chemicals into the ground.
"Waterkeepers across the region applaud the vote today in the Maryland Senate to ban fracking statewide," said Betsy Nicholas, executive director of Waterkeepers Chesapeake. "This vote was the result of an incredible grassroots movement across Maryland, and especially in Western Maryland, that demanded the legislature protect their families, livelihoods and clean water and air from the irreversible damage caused by fracking."
Municipalities and counties saw a mixed bag of successes and disappointments this session. Several got state bonds approved to fund projects in their cities. Prince George's County secured even more funding for the new regional medical center thanks to a Senate bill that passed both houses, as well as the amended budget.
Barbara Zektick, associate director of the Maryland Association of Counties, said overall the year was better than many had feared.
"We did fairly well. We went into session and figured it would be a tough budget year, which it was, but we didn't get hit too hard," she said.
Although their top priority, the LIFT Act, did not pass, Zektick said the push for more highway user revenues (HUR) – which fund road improvements in municipalities and had been cut from local distributions by Gov. Martin O'Malley – yielded some results.
"LIFT bill represented our dream ask. It was full restoration of highway user revenues phased in over seven years," Zektick said. "We're disappointed it didn't get traction, but we were able to get about $9 million in HUR."
A local government victory came in the passage of an act that eliminates the requirement for local jurisdictions to pay back income tax money that was allocated to them in error over several years. It was sponsored by Prince George's County's Del. Geraldine Valentino-Smith. Zektick said the state has a reserve account for such situations.
"It's not really local government's fault. It's not really anyone's fault that this misallocation took place," she said. "We're glad that reserve account will be used to cover this."
Although many groups got partial victories, advocates for reform of Prince George's County's school board can't say the same. The measure to repeal HB 1107 and, supporters feel, give more power back to the board's elected members, was weakened from its initial state but still failed to pass out of a Senate committee.
Theresa Dudley, president of the Prince George's County Educators' Association, said the news was disappointing.
"I think that there clearly is some room for improvement in checks and balances, and I would be disappointed if it didn't pass," she said Monday afternoon.

IPMI Support
For hosts that support IPMI sensors, LogicMonitor can gather that data and integrate it into the monitoring.
All that is required is that IPMI be enabled on the hosts, and the credentials ipmi.user and ipmi.pass be set for those hosts within Logicmonitor. If you enable IPMI on the host after you have already added the host into LogicMonitor, you can manually trigger Active Discovery to speed up the process of discovering the IPMI information.
If IPMI information is not showing up for hosts you expect it to be available on, check:
- that IPMI is enabled on the host, or on the hosts management card. Often IPMI support is disabled by default.
- that the IPMI user specified in the hosts IPMI configuration is allowed to connect remotely, and you are using the correct credentials.
- there is no firewall blocking the collector from the IPMI port (UDP port 623)
- For IPMI event log messages to be received, you must have a defined script EventSource.
If you don't have IPMI datasources in your account, you can import them from the LogicMonitor repository.
Note that IPMI devices (ie. DRACs) typically have their own IP addresses, distinct from those of their hosts. As such, they should be added as separate devices into monitoring.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is one of the latest and greatest smartphones that is currently available and sporting a number of high profile specs and a premium build to beat. That said, one of the features which has been under speculation with all the 2015 Samsung flagship smartphones is that of battery life. Samsung, once famous for their removable battery approach, chose this year to load all their main smartphones with non-removable batteries. This in itself caused some controversy and with the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge sporting 2,550 and 2600 mAh battery respectively, some felt the battery life on offer was not a good as it could or should have been on devices of this level and from such a company as Samsung. The Galaxy Note range has always been iconic in coming with larger batteries although when it came to the Galaxy Note 5 (which sports a 3,000 mAh battery), this one is actually smaller than the 3,220 mAh capacity battery that comes equipped on the Galaxy Note 4. Which may be a cause of concern for some.
Of course, the Galaxy Note 5 does come with wireless fast charging, although to make use of these sorts of features, you do need to have the relevant accessories which are sold as aftermarket purchases. But what if you just want to buy the device and use the charger that comes with the device? How will the battery hold up under these 'normal' conditions? Well, we took a quick look at the out of the box battery usage of the Galaxy Note 5. For background, the Galaxy Note 5 was used on Verizon Wireless and mainly on WiFi (although 4G was constantly turned on as well) and with the brightness set to the default automatic level.
When used in an absolute minimal state, the battery offered a total usage of one day and seventeen hours before full depletion. To clarify, this was in an almost endless standby mode with screen on time literally not registering at all on the battery stats page. Therefore, this was assumed to be the maximize you could get from the Galaxy Note 5 battery with absolute minimal use.
In contrast, when trying to purposely drain the battery, as quickly as possible (mainly by streaming videos from either YouTube or Play Movies, as well as surfing and some music playback), the battery still managed to last a decent amount of time with roughly 6 hours of screen on time.
Moving to the charging side of things and this area also performed relatively well on the Galaxy Note 5. Once the battery had initially depleted, we tested the '15 minute charge' and after the quick 15 minute charge, the battery jumped from 5-percent up to 28-percent, resulting in a 23-percent increase.
In terms of the usage from this increase, again adopting an emergency approach to the battery usage (i.e. only checking emails once an hour and very occasional lights surfing), the increase of battery life offered just under seven hours of usage from the 15 minute fast charge.
For those interested, using the normal out of the box charger, the Galaxy Note 5 would take approximately eighty minutes to refill the battery. So overall, in spite of the Galaxy Note 5 coming with a smaller battery than the previous generation device, it does seem to hold up well during daily usage and without having to purchase any additional hardware. Using more heavily, you can expect anywhere from 4-6 hours of screen on time and easily getting through daily use on more moderate usage. When you do need to quickly top-up your battery level before a night out, then providing you are not heavily using the phone, you can expect anywhere up to seven hours from a quick 15 minute top up.
