For occasions when you want to keep the sites that you visit private, Adobe Flash Player supports the private browsing mode found in many web browsers. Private browsing lets you browse the web without storing any history on your computer. Beginning with Flash Player 10.1, Flash Player integrates with your web browser to automatically clear stored data in accordance with your browser's private browsing settings.
General users: The first two sections of this article describe what private browsing is, and which browsers currently support this feature and integrate with Flash Player.
Advanced users: The third section describes subtle changes introduced with private browsing support beginning with Flash Player 10.1.
Developers: The last section details technical changes to keep in mind regarding local storage (local shared objects) and private browsing support beginning with Flash Player 10.1.
What is private browsing?
Web browsers typically remember information about sites you previously visited—a history of sites that you visit—to help you quickly retrace your steps online. For times when you do not want other people to see your history, many browsers offer a "private browsing" mode. When you turn on private browsing, these browsers will not remember any history, allowing you to hide your activity from other users sharing the same computer.
When you use private browsing mode, your web browser stores several types of information only temporarily. Once you leave private browsing, the browser will delete that data, including the record of your visit in the browser's history, cookies, and cached image files. This keeps your browsing private from other people that may use the same computer. This contrasts with normal browsing, where the browser remembers your history even after you've restarted your browser.
Starting with Flash Player 10.1, Flash Player will also automatically clear any data it might store during private browsing, helping to keep your history private.
Note: With some content, private browsing may cause unexpected behavior because Flash Player clears data that a website expects to remember. Keep that in mind when using this privacy feature.
Browsers that support Flash Player private browsing
Current versions of the following browsers support private browsing integration with Flash Player 10.1 and later:
- Google Chrome
- Mozilla Firefox
- Microsoft Internet Explorer
- Apple Safari
The Flash Player behaviors discussed in this article apply only to these browsers.
For advanced users: Private browsing and Flash Player 10.1
Prior to Flash Player 10.1, the player behaved the same whether the browser was in private browsing or not. Browsers could clear browser data temporarily stored during a private browsing session, such as cookies and history, but they were unaware of the data stored in Flash Player local storage (also known as local shared objects or LSOs). To keep user information safe, information in Flash Player local storage is stored on a site-by-site basis—so that one website can never see information from another website. However, storing information on a site-by-site basis can leave a history of previously visited sites that have used local storage.
Starting with Flash Player 10.1, Flash Player actively supports the browser's private browsing mode, managing data in local storage so that it is consistent with private browsing. So when a private browsing session ends, Flash Player will automatically clear any corresponding data in local storage.
Additionally, Flash Player separates the local storage used in normal browsing from the local storage used during private browsing. So when you enter private browsing mode, sites that you previously visited will not be able to see information they saved on your computer during normal browsing. For example, if you saved your login and password in a web application powered by Flash during normal browsing, the site won't remember that information when you visit the site under private browsing, keeping your identity private.
Changes to Settings panel and Settings Manager functionality
Flash Player gives you control over your experience, enabling you to change settings through the Settings panel and the global Settings Manager. These will behave somewhat differently when you access them in private browsing mode.
The Settings panel lets you change settings for a specific piece of content running in Flash Player (also known as a SWF file) or the site where that content came from. For example, you might access the Settings panel to allow a website to use your camera or microphone. Open the Settings panel by right-clicking the SWF content and choosing "Settings..." from the context menu (note that the SWF file must have a size of at least 215 × 138 pixels to have space to display the panel). Figure 1 shows the context menu.
Figure 1. Flash Player context menu
Flash Player does not save any information—including settings—in private browsing mode, since this information might reveal sites that you visited while using private browsing. Accordingly, settings options will be hidden. Tabs that modify domain-specific settings such as privacy (camera and microphone access) and local storage will not be displayed. Since you cannot set domain-specific settings in private browsing mode, Flash Player will use default settings from the global Settings Manager.
In private browsing mode, Flash Player will prevent content from requesting additional local storage, since Flash Player does not save any settings during private browsing mode. The default local storage limit of 100 KB still applies in private browsing. This storage is deleted when you end the private browsing session.
You can modify this limit using the global Settings Manager, under "Global Storage Settings" (see Figure 2). In Flash Player 10.1, open the Settings Manager by right-clicking a SWF file and choosing Global Settings from the context menu shown in Figure 1. The Settings Manager can also be accessed at adobe.com/go/settingsmanager.
Figure 2. Global Storage Settings panel in the Settings Manager
The global Settings Manager controls settings that affect all content powered by Flash Player across all browsers on your machine. However, note that it only reflects domain settings from normal browsing mode and does not display information set or used during private browsing. Therefore, the Website Privacy Settings panel and the Website Storage Settings panel seen in the global Settings Manager do not apply to private browsing.
You can still use your camera and microphone in private browsing mode. By default, the global Settings Manager is set to always ask, so when you visit a site that uses camera and/or microphone, the camera and microphone dialog box will appear and request permission to access the camera and microphone. (If you never want to see this request, and thus always deny use of your camera and mic, you can set the global setting to always deny.)
For developers: Changes to Flash Player local storage and settings in private browsing introduced with Flash Player 10.1
The remainder of this article is aimed at developers creating content for Flash Player. Support for private browsing introduces changes that may impact developers using local storage (local shared objects, or LSOs). The following changes apply only when the browser is in private browsing mode.
Because users should be in control of how they want to view content, there is no way for developers to turn private browsing support on or off through ActionScript, and there is no ActionScript API to determine if private browsing mode is enabled.
Accordingly, if you are developing content that uses local storage, keep the following in mind:
Note the changes to the Settings panel behavior described earlier in the article. Also, note that the hidden Settings panel tabs cannot be shown using ActionScript through the
showSettings() API. If Flash Player is in private browsing mode, and a hidden tab is requested via
showSettings(), the default Video Display tab is shown instead.
Browsers vary greatly in their implementation of private browsing. Some spawn an entirely new window in private browsing. Some close your current session and spawn a new private browsing session. And some switch modes in place. Flash Player strives to provide a consistent experience in all supported environments. To accomplish this, Flash Player adheres to the strictest policy, and an instance of Flash Player will maintain the same private browsing state throughout its lifetime.
Upon creation, a Flash Player instance initializes to the current browsing mode of the browser. If the browser is in private browsing mode when the Flash Player instance is created, then that particular instance will forever be in private browsing mode. Likewise, if the browser is in normal browsing mode when the Flash Player instance is created, then that particular instance will forever be in normal browsing mode (private browsing is turned off). Accordingly, toggling private browsing on or off without refreshing the page or closing the private browsing window will not impact Flash Player.
Instead of saving local storage (local shared objects, or LSOs) on disk as it does during normal browsing, Flash Player stores LSOs in memory during private browsing. When you enter private browsing mode, this private browsing LSO store in memory is empty and you cannot access any existing LSOs on disk. This separates the temporary private browsing LSOs from your normal LSOs.
For example, suppose you're browsing normally (private browsing mode is off), you get to level 42 of a Flash-based game, and the game saves the level you're at in an LSO. Later, you enter private browsing mode and return to the game. Now that you're in private browsing mode, the game cannot read the value that was stored on disk during normal browsing. The game will behave as if you have never played it before, and will not remember your saved level.
In addition, any LSOs created during private browsing sessions cannot be accessed from normal browsing sessions. And as soon as the private browsing session ends, all private browsing LSOs are cleared.
In private browsing, Flash Player guarantees that a single instance of Flash Player can access its own LSOs. However, because of the inconsistencies between browsers, the player cannot guarantee access to LSOs stored from other instances of Flash Player during a private browsing session. And in some browsers, reloading a page clears private browsing LSOs because a new instance of Flash Player is created.
Flash Player has always allowed users to clear their LSOs at any time, but private browsing support makes this scenario more common. Plan for different behavior around LSOs when users enable private browsing. Add failure handling logic that is prepared for cleared LSOs to resolve those cases properly.
Where to go from here
Private browsing is a useful tool for users who wish to exercise privacy on a shared computer or want to surf the web without storing any information about which sites or pages they have visited. Now with Flash Player 10.1, content that runs in Flash Player also supports private browsing and follows the same model, so that any data that is stored is cleared after the session ends. When using this privacy feature, keep in mind that content unprepared for private browsing may not behave as expected.
If you have problems or enhancement requests, please contact Adobe by filing a bug in our public Flash Player bug and issue management system. This is the best and fastest way to have the issue looked at by the Flash Player team. For more information, read Introducing the Flash Player bug and issue management system.

A boring night at work led me to reading back logged 'Freshly Pressed' articles, which was maybe a huge blessing in disguise because I stumbled upon Maggiecake's great entry about social media and storytelling. She references this great article about the potential for telling stories over social media and technology.
I think both are totally fascinating. In addition to my BFA in Drawing, I'm also pursuing a Writing Minor and I intend to (eventually) get my MFA in Creative Writing (or something similar). To be perfectly honest, I really never thought of social media as an outlet for telling anything other than my story – which I guess is kind of selfish but maybe also just a marker of my generation.
I think that story telling and technology are still totally possible. In my book arts class, we've talked about how digital books can be made in InDesign or compiled through many other design programs. Recently, the very talented Danielle Rosen presented a website as a book to play with the use of language. All of that aside, social media itself is driven by narrative; our lives are driven by narrative. Whether you realize it or not, every status update compiles into a greater story. All that's missing is a greater intent.
I would love to see someone compile tweets or facebook status updates to create a memoir or autobiography. It would also be pretty great to start a fiction story via something like tweets – where you can tag people – and tag the next person to continue your story. They tag the next person, they tag the next person, so on and so forth until you've all created a vast narrative that spans the internet. That's something that I want to see.

Being a HUGE dog lover myself … I just had to do a post on why growing up with a dog is so good for kids …
1.kids who grow up with dogs have less allergies, eczema, asthma and get sick less than those without.
2.Living with a family pet increases compassion,love kindness, empathy, humanitarianism and provides an TON of unconditional love.
3.They can help teach children about responsibility.
4.Spending time with a dog calms the nervous system – a dog lowers your stress level , blood pressure and heart rate.
5.Kids with dogs tend to be more active, get more exercise and spend time playing outdoors.
6. Dogs help children learn social skills, impulse control And helps build self esteem.

They won't answer any question in Question Time, instead blaming Labor for whatever they, themselves, should now be doing as government. They insult, ridicule, obfuscate and outright lie. Their arrogance is only made worse by the Speaker running interference, denying questions altogether because she personally objects to some part of it, or rephrasing it to what she prefers it to be. The farce that is now Parliamentary Question Time is beyond disgraceful, and it is aided and abetted by a failing mainstream media who still interrogate Labor, who are in opposition, are lamely question without persistence the Liberal National Coalition which is government. It is up to Labor to move to different ground altogether and to take Australia's heart with it, because currently we are losing more and more of what was once a large and vibrant sense of self. Pedagogy is diminishing us into fearful, angry, extremely intolerant reactionaries. It's time, Australia. Stand tall, take back what has been, and is being stolen by self-serving, vote chasing politicians beholden to corporations over the people they are supposed to represent and plan, long term, to work to ever raise up. Australia, it's time.
The Australian Independent Media Network
Watching question time has become a total waste of time. The questions are so banal, the repetition mind-numbing, the rudeness unbecoming, the procedure unwieldy, and the partisanship of the Speaker a joke.
So I thought we should give the Opposition a few ideas of questions we would like asked. Here are a few that come to mind. Feel free to add to them.
Mr Abbott,
You say your Paid Parental Leave scheme is fully funded by a 1.5% levy on big business but as you are reducing company tax by 1.5% that, in effect, means that these businesses will not pay any more and all other businesses will pay less. How do you propose to come up with $5.5 billion a year from less revenue?
Mr Hunt,
Your party has a policy of not providing assistance to business for factory refurbishment. How then can you justify gifting the biggest polluting…

Gratitude for Home and Family
For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi.
It's easy to take it for granted. Our home is the center of our universe, but how often do you think of it as being that important?
The same thing goes for our family. For most of us, family is our primary support team . . . a hand-full of familiar souls in a world full of billions of strangers. Isn't it ironic to see people treat their own family members with less kindness and respect they give to a perfect stranger? It's easy to forget the importance of your own personal support team.
"If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love. Don't be surly at home, then go out in the street and start grinning "Good morning" at total strangers." – Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
Appreciation for Home
Have you ever been without a home? If so, you had a crash-course in home appreciation.
There's nothing quite so effective in learning appreciation than taking something for granted and suddenly losing it. It feels different to appreciate something you have now than to appreciate something you once had. Either way, it's appreciation. Even if it's just the realization that you shouldn't have taken it for granted and appreciated it more while you had it.
At Home on the Road
My wife, Janey, and I have never experienced homelessness in the down-and-out, destitute sense of the word, but we have been "between homes" for extended periods of time. Even though we didn't have a place to call home during three different eras, we always had a vehicle that was a reasonable substitute for home.
The first time, it was a van. The next time, it was an old bus/camper conversion. The next time we were homeless, we had a small RV that we bought specifically for extended traveling around Mexico and Central America.
As full-time, touring musicians, this mobile version of the feeling of home was fine . . . for awhile. Even though we were reasonably comfortable and content with our lifestyle choice, we still got weary and looked longingly down the road in the direction of home.
"Home is where you rest your bones,
And dream a cracklin' fire . . . while you roam.
Home is where you hang your hat,
A rocking chair . . . and a lazy cat.
-from the song, "Home is Where" by Tupelo Kenyon
If you've never been homeless, you may have to stretch your imagination a little to get a feeling for what it's like to be on the road full-time.
When you have a home, you have a center of operations — a mission control center. It's a place to spread out and have easy access to all your tools and toys and supplies.
"Home is a place for your stuff." — George Carlin
When you're on the road, you do the best you can to take the feeling of home with you. You surround yourself with the essentials and a few small touches that give you the feeling of home.
"Living on the road my friend,
Is going to keep you free and clean."
- from the song, "Poncho and Lefty" by Townes Van Zant
It's a good lesson in learning what is necessary and what is just extra baggage, taking up room and getting in the way.
"There's stuff on the dashboard, stuff on the seat
Stuff on the floorboard, crowding my feet
The console, the glove box, and stuck to the wood
Not only the trunk, but under the hood.
There's a basket of little stuff with no place to go
And a room full of big stuff stacked in a row
There's a stack of important papers and such
Got stuff up to here, and it's all too much."
-from the song, "Stuff, Stuff, Stuff, Stuff" — by Tupelo Kenyon
At Home Around the World
No matter what country we are traveling in, we notice the warm glow of light coming from the houses we see. We feel drawn to it like moths to a flame. It represents home and all the comfort, security and feeling of satisfaction that comes with having your own nest. Living on the road is definitely a stretch and a good opportunity for personal growth . . . but it's easy to keep looking down the road for an opportunity to stretch out and grow into a more conventional idea of home.
"Home is where you stretch and grow,
Grow and build a life of your own.
Home is where your heart is at,
But while you roam, home is where you're at."
-from the song, "Home is Where" by Tupelo Kenyon
Active Appreciation for a Place to Call Home
Now that we have a home of our own, we appreciate it every day. We are continually commenting to one another how much we like this, that, or the other about our home and how much it means to us.
"There is no place more delightful than home." – Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC)
"There's no place like home." – Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz"
Actually, we have two homes these days. The other one is a motorhome, and we spend about half the year on the road and the other half at home in Wyoming. We do the same gushing of appreciation when we are on the road. We are continually commenting to one another about how much we appreciate the different aspects of our rolling home.
Whichever home we are in, it's more than just a roof to keep the rain off and more than "a place for our stuff." Home represents comfort, safety and security . . . a place to cocoon and recharge our batteries. It provides fertile soil so our inner beings can take root, grow and blossom.
"If this world affords true happiness, it is to be found in a home where love and confidence increase with the years, where the necessities of life come without severe strain, where luxuries enter only after their cost has been carefully considered." – A. Edward Newton
With the basic needs met, food clothing and shelter, we can more easily turn our attention to creative endeavors and personal development. This universal desire for home runs deep and manifests in diverse ways around the world.
"He is happiest, be he king or peasant who finds peace in his home." – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)
Ideas of Home Are As Diverse as the People Who Live in Them
In our travels, we have seen homes of every description. We've seen mansions on the hill, and shacks in the gutter. We've seen igloos in Alaska, and grass huts in Hawaii. We've seen castles in Europe that took centuries to build, and stick houses in Guatemala erected by friends and neighbors in an afternoon. We've met people who get that cozy feeling of home from a sailboat continually rocking on the waves . . . a cave in the mountains with a campfire to chase away the chill . . . a tent flapping in the desert wind . . . and an open-air camp shared with the insects in the tropics.
All these people have one thing in common with their diverse experiences of home: No matter the race they are born into or the continent they are born on, we all have some kind of nesting instinct. We are pulled toward something called home. Our respective cultures define it differently, but we all feel the pull.
"This is the true nature of home — it is the place of Peace; the shelter, not only from injury, but from all terror, doubt and division." – John Ruskin (1819-1900)
Stuck at Home
We've all met people who feel stuck. They feel stuck at home and can't leave for a variety of different reasons. It's easier to fantasize that the grass is greener over there, on the other side, in that other home. The problem begins when the fantasy grows into discontent. That attitude has the potential to poison all other areas of their lives.
Okay for Now, and Better is On the Way
If you can manage to be grateful and satisfied with where you are now, while looking expectantly toward the future for your dreams to manifest, you've got the best of both worlds. You enjoy the here and now reality of your surroundings while continually attracting whatever you desire and envision. (See previous articles entitled: "The Subtle Side of Manifestation" and "The Law of Attraction".)
"Oh, should I dream of home so,
So many feel they cannot leave, I feel like going home.
So blow you winds of change, blow right down my door,
Where weary winds can rest and stay . . . my homeward shore."
-from the song, "Home is Where" by Tupelo Kenyon
"Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation." – Brian Tracy
"Gratitude is a lively sense of future favors." – Sir Robert Walpole
The People at Home
Although home, as a physical structure, is an important aspect of our lives, it's just the beginning. For most of us, our idea of home centers around the people you spend the most time with — your family. Who you become is significantly influenced by the people with whom you share time at home.
"Having a place to go – is a home. Having someone to love – is a family. Having both – is a blessing." – Donna Hedges
As infants, we are nurtured, protected and encouraged at home by our parents and/or elder relatives. Our brothers and sisters play a major role and share in our mutual growth and personal development. Later, our children and younger relatives offer more opportunities for personal growth. We become teachers, while at the same time, are presented with a completely different set of learning opportunities. All this happens at home.
"A house is no home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body." – (Sarah) Margaret Fuller (1810-50)
Think of the people you shared the nest with when you were growing up. Notice the special bond you have with them and how unique it feels, compared to all your other relationships.
Special Appreciation for Your Primary Home Building Teammate
If you share your life with a spouse or significant other, think of the teamwork that makes your lives together what it is. Your life would be very different without the other. Notice all the little things your mate does to help you feel at home.
Janey is always doing some little touch that makes the house our home. Flowers in a vase. A home-cooked meal. Singing in the kitchen. Tending the garden. Kissing me good-night. Making the house spotless and creatively decorating. Big things are not necessary when you can share the little things with joy, love and appreciation.
"Flowers on the table . . . fragrance is everywhere,
I hear the sound of music, as your voice fills up the air.
Cookin' in the kitchen, just singin' to the stove,
You make a house our home."
- from the song, "I'd Still Marry You" — by Tupelo Kenyon
The Attitude of Gratitude
Stop a moment and make a list of all the things you appreciate about your mate and/or home-mates. Feel the gratitude swelling inside as you appreciate the small things they contribute to your feeling of home and family. Here's the secret to on-going enjoyment of these things into the future: Tell them how you feel. Not just once, but regularly.
"The greatest reward we could ever get is the genuine gratitude from the people we've helped." – Steve Saia
"It is not failure of others to appreciate your abilities that should trouble you, but rather your failure to appreciate theirs." – Confucius (5th century B.C.)
It's true that home-life is not always easy and the relationships are not always pleasant, but those personal ties run deeper than most any you will develop over the course of your lifetime. These people at home know how to push your buttons better than anyone. Even though there may be times when you don't like them very much, these people with whom you share nest-time help you grow into the very best version of yourself.
"Home is not where you live but where they understand you." – Cristion Morgenstern
Home-time provides you with the opportunity to rise above your petty differences and be grateful for the profound commonalities you share with your nest-mates. Of all the billions and billions of people on the planet, these are the ones you love.
"Home is where you're at your best,
If not, there is no better place to be at rest.
Home is where you rise above,
And share yourself with those you really love."
- from the song, "Home is Where" by Tupelo Kenyon
Think of all the times in your life when you have laughed. Who were you with most often? For most of us . . . family.
Think of all the times in your life when you sat down for a meal. Who were you with? Again, for most . . . family.
And what about the times when you were sick or just plain worn out and needed to regain your strength and vitality? Where were you and who were you with? At home with family.
Who taught us to play? Who taught us how to work? With whom did we grow up? Family.
"Home is where the food is good,
A place to laugh, joke and smile, and knock on wood.
Home is where the old folks go,
The young folks play, and the children grow."
- from the song, "Home is Where" by Tupelo Kenyon
How Do You Feel About Home and Family?
How do you feel about your home? How do you feel about the people who share your home with you — past and present? How do you feel about the people who provided you with a home as you were growing up? Just imagine their sacrifices, hard work and determination to do the things they did so they could pay the rent or mortgage every month to provide you with that incredibly valuable thing called . . . home.
"No matter under what circumstances you leave it, home does not cease to be home. No matter how you lived there—well or poorly." – Joseph Brodsky (b. 1940)
Can you see the value of gratitude for these fundamental elements of human experience? Where would you be without them? Can you imagine what your life might have been like without the people and place that defined your experience of home?
The feeling of gratitude is a wonderful thing. Not only does it feel good, it helps create an on-going life experience that continues to feel good. If there is anything better than the feeling of gratitude, it's the expression of gratitude.
Gratitude Expressed
Tell them how you feel. Find a way to communicate the fact that you appreciate what you've shared. Let them know their presence in your life means a lot to you. Let them know you noticed all the things they did to enhance the quality of your life. Let them know they matter.
"Gratitude is the sign of noble souls." – Aesop (620-560 BC)
It's common for people to think, "Aw, they know how I feel about them. They don't need me to tell 'em."
Tell them anyway. Why not? Make someone else's day a little brighter, and notice how it helps make the lights come on in your world too.
"I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder." – Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936)
Be the instigator. Don't wait for them to bring it up. You can do it. Tell them how much you appreciate the role they have played in your life. Express your gratitude for the home you grew up in, as well as for the home you grow in now.
No Time Like the Present
Don't wait because you could miss your chance. If you have ever intended to express words of gratitude to a loved one but missed your chance due to an unexpected death, you know what I mean. There will never be a better time than right now, because the future is so unpredictable.
"Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others." – Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC)

Good to Go . . . and Good to Return
A life of traveling and adventure is a common dream, and as someone who has lived that life for the last 38 years, I recommend it. However, the one thing that makes all the going even more rewarding is knowing there are people to return to . . . family.
And, it's a great feeling to know there is somewhere very special to return to at the end of the road . . .
Home is where.
"Go home and believe in yourselves more." – Phillips Brooks (1835-1893)

Calling all potential Miley Cyrus suitors! The songbird has revealed the key to her heart: a man who wears head-to-toe denim.
Well, technically, she wants a beau who will wear matching denim à la Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake at the 2001 American Music Awards.
"I want a boyfriend that will wear jean on jean on jean with me," the newly single songstress, who split from former fiancé Liam Hemsworth in mid-September, captioned a photo of the former couple in their now-infamous award show attire.
Miley twerking in matching denim with a hunky new man? Now that would be a sight to see.

Until further notice, employers should continue using the Form I-9 posted here (revision date 7/17/17 N).
We will post a new version of Form I-9 as soon as it is available.
Form I-9 is used for verifying the identity and employment authorization of individuals hired for employment in the United States.

Both employees and employers (or authorized representatives of the employer) must complete the form. On the form, an employee must attest to his or her employment authorization. The employee must also present his or her employer with acceptable documents evidencing identity and employment authorization. The employer must examine the employment eligibility and identity document(s) an employee presents to determine whether the document(s) reasonably appear to be genuine and to relate to the employee and record the document information on the Form I-9. The list of acceptable documents can be found on the last page of the form. Employers must retain Form I-9 for a designated period and make it available for inspection by authorized government officers. NOTE: State agencies may use Form I-9. Also, some agricultural recruiters and referrers for a fee may be required to use Form I-9.

Fair weather cyclists! It's winter now! Put your bikes away and stop wobbling about. Come on guys, it chucked it down on Monday, you don't need to ride through this!
The Olympics lulled me into a false sense of security and I thought that cycling in London wasn't that bad. I WAS WRONG. Today, a fairly standard morning in terms of commuting, the following happened:
- A woman rode into the back of me, while I was stationary at a red light
- Some chump nearly pushed me over trying to squeeze past me, also at lights
- All manner of brainless idiocy took place at the Elephant & Castle. Seriously, if you can't work out how to use roundabouts, try to avoid them! You're going to die!!
- A man fetchingly attired in ow-my-retinas orange showcased some signalling prowess. However, he did so without looking behind him and also without actually then ever changing manoeuvring. Instead he rode down the road with one arm stretched out, like some sort of shit modern dance. Then a woman did exactly the same on London Bridge, completely oblivious to the screech of brakes from the bus behind her.
It's like the fair weather cyclists with some semblance of brains packed up their bikes, leaving an army of fluro zombies behind.
In addition, a pedestrian called me a dickhead (?) and I got wolfwhistled all the way up the Walworth Road by a particularly sleazy white van driver.
As the final straw, when I arrive at work I find the bike shed still almost full. I hope it snows for the next six months and I can have nice clear roads to myself.

Fish and Wildlife investigate video of Wash. deer killing
July 08, 2013 at 05:52 PM
The Associated Press
SQUAXIN ISLAND, Wash. (AP) — State wildlife agents are investigating after a video surfaced showing a group of people in a canoe killing a deer in the waters near Squaxin Island, in southwestern Puget Sound.
KOMO-TV reports (http://is.gd/7kDKne ) that the killing of the buck was captured on a 12-minute video, which shows a man swinging at the animal with an oar. The buck swims away but a couple minutes later, a paddler jumps into the water and attempts to drown the deer before another man dives in to assist.
The video ends with the deer being paddled to shore aboard the canoe.
Squaxin Island Tribal Council member Ray Peters says he was disturbed by the video, because that's not how the tribe harvests deer.
No hunting season is open for deer.
Officials are still trying to identify some of the people in the video.

We're always a bit stunned -- pleasantly stunned -- at the weird variety of Halloween-themed go-outs that spring up around our city every fall. Old Town Haunt, located in Pasadena, doesn't really surprise us though, when we see it go up each year. Maybe it is because the Crown City already seems so darn haunted, that this spooky attraction just fits right in. As if it had been up and running all year.
The setting of the foreboding Union Savings Bank Building, one of the oldest buildings in a city known for old buildings, is key for us. While we love all the creepy events set in various warehouses and front yards around town, Old Town Haunt's setting is something out of a movie. But the atmospheric building isn't enough for the Old Town Haunters -- they make you descend into the basement for your scares. Shudder.
Old Town Haunt is running through Sunday, November 1st in 2009, if you're looking for more Halloween after your Halloween. Note that the Sunday night hours -- 7-10PM -- are a bit shorter than the hours it has been keeping for most of October. And if you want more scares the day after Halloween, head for Shipwreck at the Queen Mary or Halloween Time at Disney Resort, which will both be celebrating through November 1st.

Various things – carelessness, happiness and falling leaves among them – ensured that September wasn't the busiest month at this blog. However, like an industrious dormouse storing up fat for the winter, I have been holding some words back in readiness for the cold months to come. Before I invite you all to share in this glorious feast of ideas (and feast it is) here are some words from Mr Aldous Huxley, a dead English writer:
To be shaken out of the ruts of ordinary perception, to be shown for a few timeless hours the outer and the inner world, not as they appear to an animal obsessed with words and notions, but as they are apprehended, directly and unconditionally, by Mind at Large – this is an experience of inestimable value to everyone and especially to the intellectual (Doors of Perception 1954)

Hi there everyone, please let me tell you a little bit about me.
Member of 'The Ocean Artists Society'
ORCA - Supporting whales & dolphins around the globe
The Marine Conservation Society
The Marine Conservation Society - Helping our coastlines, oceans and marine wildlife through public interaction and on missions.
The whale & Dolphin Society where I am a member at protector of wildlife level.
I am passionate about the world that we live in and my artworks try to reflect how I believe our oceans and coastlines ideally should remain, natural and revered. I try my best to support ocean awareness as much as I can and to promote our beautiful blue planet as the ocean has been so kind to me over the years..
I paint mostly using acrylics, my favorite medium as with this I can achieve the depth and richness of color that I desire and also love the quick drying property too.
My intention is to capture moments in time that leave a positive memory in the viewer, to create an almost scuba diving experience of beautiful realms beneath the water's surface. Enabling the viewer to swim amongst clean sea beds and be washed over by the ever moving tide; or brush past sea turtles and be filled with color as they pass through schools of tropical fish. It is hopefully a welcome introduction to a beautiful world deep beneath the surface for those who live nowhere near the coast or who don't have immediate access to the sea, a world that maybe only a few are blessed to see with their own eyes.
My above water waves and seascapes try to take the viewer to a special natural place.
I live in Lancashire England now and paint full time and really answer all emails that I receive from friends and fellow artists. If you want to email me about anything at all, even just to say hello, then that would brighten my day and I will reply :)
Please drop by my website too and leave me a message:) Thanks all and happy creatitivity.

Hi Alan,
Your passion of our beautiful planet, oceans on particular, is so sensible and visible in every piece you made. Thanx for sharing, I really enjoy the scuba dive experiences you share.
It is always Christmas in my heart and mind and life is so precious as I see others slip away. Your work does bring a smile to my lips and it is a privilege to see such wonderful gifted artists at work and sharing what they do especially when there is a purpose for your work. The Oceans and waterways are being destroyed by pollution and man has made a mess of our planet. The younger generation seems more interested in cleaning it up and prayerfully they willl be able to surge ahead of us adults.
There is so much beauty and thought in your paintings thank you for sharing them with all who click onto your site.

Patients, their needs and rights are at the heart of everything we do.
Our vision is for all people with allergy, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Europe to live uncompromised lives, have the right and access to best quality care, participate in their care and to have a safe environment.
Our mission is to be the voice of allergy, asthma and COPD patients at European level and to be actively involved in the decisions impacting their health by:
1. Advocating at EU level for the needs of people with allergy, asthma and COPD
2. Enabling a powerful European network of patients' organisations
3. Valuing all members equally
4. Sharing knowledge and implementing best practices
5. Creating patient driven projects
6. Cooperating with health care professionals, scientists and other stakeholders/NGOs
Our logo
In May 2016, we launched a new EFA logo, replacing the comet with the EU stars. The new logo is a colorful butterfly / flower that connects the air we breathe with the food we eat.
We have been inspired by butterflies because they are amongst the most vulnerable beings on earth, but when empowered flying free. Allergy, asthma and COPD patients experience the fragility imposed these chronic diseases and need long-term care and treatment. As butterflies, they can live free and independent when empowered by their environment. For us, this new logo represents freedom and hope to live uncompromised lives, EFA's vision.
Our Code of Ethics and Conduct
EFA has a Code of Ethics and Conduct and internal rules with the following principles:
Accountability and Democracy
Both EFA and its members are governed democratically and in the interest of patients we represent. Members sign up to and accept EFA's vision and mission when they join. The highest governing body of EFA is its General Assembly, composed of members. EFA members have an equal status amongst their peers, while the EFA board, elected by members, steers the EFA secretariat who facilitates and organises EFA activities. EFA publishes annually an Activity Report.
EFA members are all legally registered within their country of origin as a non-profit or charity organisation and have statues or a constitution which enables the democracy of the organisations. EFA is registered as a charity in Sweden (no. 8024024526) and employer in Belgium (BE0851183611). EFA has both internal rules for its functioning and founding statutes.
Every year EFA discloses publicly all its funding as it seeks voluntary and ethically sustainable financial support from outside the organisation. EFA ensures that all forms of funding are open and transparent, ensuring accountability to its sponsors and partners. No funding arrangement is permitted to interfere with the priorities and running of the organisation, its activities or views. As a result, EFA retains a sustainable partnership with industry to ensure its integrity when receiving funding from corporate sources. All of the organisation's activities are reflected in EFA Annual Reports, which are all available here. EFA is signed up to the EU Transparency register (no. 28473847513-94).

If You Blow on Your Thumb, Here's The Effect it Will Have on Your Body
The human organism works under, still to us, mysterious circumstances and even medicine is shocked when something miraculous happens, proving that the body is more than able to heal itself.
The stimulation of certain body parts can be successful for ameliorating the wellbeing of other body parts. In such way, one is able to fix various health problems, such as stress, pain, soreness and more.
Sore throat fix
Although a cup of tea can work wonders, there are other ways that can also stimulate health in the area.
Scratchy throat is a condition known and familiar to many, and it can sometimes become even unbearable if left untreated. Now, Scott Schaffer, M.D. President of an ear, nose and throat specialty center offered a solution that many will find useful in this case.
As Dr. Schaffer put it, the most effective thing you can do is to scratch your ear!
"When the nerves in the ear are stimulated, it creates a reflex in the throat that can cause a muscle spasm. This spasm relieves the tickle," he noted.
Relax the nervous system
To get rid of stress and feel calmer, the only thing you need to do is to wash your face with ice-cold water, while holding your breath.
This way, the water coldness will cause the "mammalian diving reflex." What happens is, the organism is able to handle oxygen in a better way, which results in a more relaxed organism. Treating stress with cold water has been a home treatment known and practiced for years in many cultures.
For a similar experience, you can simply drink an ice-cold glass of water. This will help you relax even when splashing water on your face is off the table.
Beat the fear of needles
Injection treatment is never pleasant to anyone, so to deal with it more easily, all you need to do is cough a little just before the needle touches your skin.
However, it is wise to talk the nurse into your practice, so things don't go south.
Stuffy nose rinse
This annoying little occurrence can truly be a thorn in your eye, but there is a way to get rid of it easily. All you need to do is press your tongue against the roof of your mouth, while pressing your eyebrows by using the index fingers.
This technique will relax the nasal pathways, making it simple for you to dispose of the nasal mucus. While practicing this acupressure method, you need to breathe deeply every 20 seconds.
Treat burns
The first thing we do when getting burned is grabbing the ice pack and applying it on the skin. However, if you just use the tips of your fingers to press the burnt area, you will get faster and more soothing results.
How that works is, it gives the affected area its normal temperature back while preventing blistering at the same time. Also, you won't be seeing any burn scars, which is amazing!
Deal with toothaches
One of the worst pains a person could experience is a sudden and uncontrollable toothache. To get this under control, you need to apply an ice pack on the back of your hand. Start rubbing the ice front and back along the skin between your index finger and thumb.
This is amazingly effective because the area has a lot of nerves directly connected to the face and brain. By icing the spot, you relieve the pain and send the brain signals to relax.
Calm your nerves
There is a simple hack on how to tone down those jumpy nerves and anxieties in your gut. Just blow on your thumb! As weird as it may sound, this method actually eases the breathing and soothes the Vagus nerve, which is responsible for your heartbeat escalations.
No more migraines
Painkillers are such an old method to get rid of persistent headaches and migraines. Instead, you can massage the area between your thumb and index finger with your other thumb and forefinger. Be gentle during the massage and proceed with it for two minutes before switching on to the other hand.
To get the best results, apply pressure in circular movement. This enables the blood flow to run faster and releases the Ki energy throughout the body.

Why Self-Hypnosis is the Perfect Way to Stop Drinking as a Coping Mechanism
As a World leader in hypnotherapy for alcohol, I know the true power of self-hypnosis and 7 Days to Drink Less teaches you my own incredible alcohol hypnosis strategies. Strategies used successfully by tens of thousands of people around the World, people just like you.
|You may not be consciously aware until now, but hypnosis is a natural state that we all enter many times each day. You cannot go to sleep without this process.
A lot of people I meet say, "I couldn't possibly be hypnotized." However, everybody can be hypnotized by themselves or, if you choose, by someone else. The hypnosis state is experienced when we daydream. For example, when we are on a train and we lose memory of the last five stops. . Also, as you drift into sleep you must pass through the hypnotic daydream state. You cannot go to sleep without this process.
As we fall asleep our breathing starts to slow down, our heart rate drops, our circulation slows down as well as our metabolic rate. This process can take approximately 5 to 20 minutes. During this stage we are in hypnosis. During this time we are highly receptive to new learning. It is a very creative time. A lot of new ideas, businesses and inventions have been created during this time.
This is the Perfect State of Mind to be Receptive to Alcohol Hypnosis
It is in this state that you are most susceptible to suggestion and therefore it is in this state of mind that you are best being in to stop yourself drinking so much alcohol.
7 Days to Drink Less provides you with all the tools to reach this state of mind, using my revolutionary alcohol hypnosis strategies, and the techniques needed (including full audio downloads), that will help create the change and teach you how to stop drinking alcohol as a way of coping during day-to-day life.

Dear Me,
Writing this letter is kinda awkward because I don't know how my future self will be since I'm just 18. Maybe my hair is longer, skinnier, been heartbroken, married with 4 kids somewhere in Europe or still kicking it in Atlanta doing what I love: eating. But whatever stage you are in, I hope your experiences have thought and molded you to be a better person. You are still the loving, funny, smart and beautiful girl that you have always been.
No matter what you are going through, you can make it! I believe in you. Do not get accustomed to whatever society, culture, traditions or beliefs says you have to do. You are strong and you can do whatever you set your mind to. You are a Queen, remember that! You've got royal blood flowing through your veins. Adjust your crown, don't let anyone take it away from you.
In my 20s: I hope you are studying hard and making good grades. I hope you are being an exemplary student. No matter how hard school is, you will make it on top! I guarantee you that! I hope you are embracing the quality time you have while you are single and doing things you love. Travelling, spending quality time with family, meeting new people, trying out new things… Follow your heart and don't allow external sources cloud your judgment. Explore and find what you love and start doing it. Do not allow your peers or family to pressure you into marriage unless you are absolutely ready. Focus on building yourself now. Love God. Love yourself.
In my 30s: I hope you have become a doctor living in a mansion with your husband and 6 children. Spend quality time with your husband and children. Take them to the best schools, show up to their games, help them with their homework, teach them how to love and care for each other. Teach them the way of God and get them active in church. Teach them our traditions, do not let the culture skip their generation. Continue your passion and make a difference in people's lives.
In my 40s: I hope you are being the best wife and mother you can be. You and your husband have started building a legacy for yourselves and children. Enjoy every stage of your young children. I have heard people say they miss their kids when they are much older. I hope you are visiting home more often or maybe have moved to Ghana permanently. Whatever the situation is, embrace every step and carry your family with you as you go.
Read this letter every decade and remind yourself who you were, are and going to be. Ultimately, I hope whatever stage you are in, you are full of joy and happy.
With love,
Future Me.

We all need to know the definitions of political systems so we can spot them when we see them. For a long time I have described our own system as having evolved into fascism, mostly as people rolled their eyes.
Here is the definition I have used to dispel the false notion that what the Nazis were defines what we should think of when we see fascism. While it is an example, it is not the definition.
"Capitalism is a system where property is privately owned and privately controlled. Communism is a system where property is collectively owned and government controlled. Socialism is a system where property is government owned and government controlled. Fascism is a system where property is privately owned and government controlled."
Now I have come across this article by Dr Thomas Sowell, written in 2012, which explains it nicely.
The question is: which politicians in today's news cycle are fascists? As it turns out, most are.
Socialist or Fascist
Thomas Sowell | Jun 12, 2012
It bothers me a little when conservatives call Barack Obama a "socialist." He certainly is an enemy of the free market, and wants politicians and bureaucrats to make the fundamental decisions about the economy.
But that does not mean that he wants government ownership of the means of production, which has long been a standard definition of socialism.
What President Obama has been pushing for, and moving toward, is more insidious: government control of the economy, while leaving ownership in private hands. That way, politicians get to call the shots but, when their bright ideas lead to disaster, they can always blame those who own businesses in the private sector.
Read the rest HERE at Townhall.com
I don't see a fascist behind every tree, just the tree on the White House lawn. - Me

Some excerpts of things that I have been doing with my time recently. Not much to say. More of an update to prove there is progression happening back here somewhere.
Discovered a liking for typography.
(paper mask/shadow project project idea)
An early lip synching test. More on this subject soon I daresay.
More on the animation front in the works.
Trying to learn after effects right now. Going quite nicely.
things I have found that I like:
this one I've known about for ages. Lasse Gjertsen and I briefly went to the same university, and both left for similar reasons (though we've never met, and obviously he's far better at what he does than I am. So the parallel ends there). Funny old world. Anyway. He's best known for things like Hyperactive and Amateur on youtube ... but I infinitely prefer this piece. Specifically the layering of the cellist's arms. Of course it helps that I really like the cellist the video is for. But never mind that. It's been on my mind a lot lately.
And here is where I am going to trail off whilst I continue thinking about things....

12-foot-long great white shark located off the coast of Florida
A great white shark weighing more than 1,600 pounds and measured at more than 12 feet in length was recently swimming in waters off the coast of Florida in the Gulf of Mexico.
OCEARCH, an organization that specializes in tracking and studying marine life, pinged the shark's location off the coast of Pinellas County on Monday at 8:05 a.m.
The great white, named Miss Costa, has been hanging out in the water since then. OCEARCH pinged Miss Costa again on Monday at 10:05 a.m. and on Tuesday at 3:37 p.m.
A ping is determined when the tagged shark's dorsal fin breaks the surface of the water and transmits a signal to a satellite. The transmission then sends back an estimated geo-location, according to the OCEARCH website.
OCEARCH first tagged the female shark on Sep. 23, 2016, in Nantucket, Mass. and she's been a busy traveler ever since.
According to OCEARCH's website, she's traveled more than 5,600 miles since first being tagged.
If you want to continue to track Miss Costa's location, or learn more about OCEARCH, click here.
