3 Ways To Successfully Manage Your Fear Of The Dentist
Visiting the dentist is a trial for some people due to mounting anxiety from odontophobia. Although this fear is hard to work through, it is important to make sure you are taking care of your oral health. You need to visit the dentist twice a year for regular cleanings and routine checks for tooth decay. In order to do this while successfully managing your odontophobia, you need to create a strategy. Your dentist will work with you to help you achieve optimal oral health. Here are three ways to successfully manage your fear of the dentist.
Block out worrisome noises with earplugs or headphones.
The whir of the drill and the splashing of water is enough to get your pulse racing and anxiety levels up. In order to manage the sounds that set you off, you need to find a way to block them out or to distract yourself. Think about the stimuli that make you nervous, then it will become easy to find ways to block them out. You can wear earplugs or noise canceling headphones if sounds makes you nervous. If you need further distraction, you can wear headphones and listen to an audiobook or your favorite playlist.
Schedule your appointments for optimal times.
When you have odontophobia, it is important to set your appointment well ahead of time. That way you do not back out of your much needed appointment with your dentist. You can also work with your dentist to manage other factors of your appointment. For example, you can come in on a lunch hour or during another time when there are not a lot of other patients. You can also ask for extraneous lights to be dimmed to help you feel more comfortable. Let your dentist be a key player in making your plans. He wants you to be comfortable and healthy.
Use sedation dentistry to make anxiety disappear.
If your odontophobia is unbearable, then you may want to consider sedation dentistry at a place like Mill Creek Family Dental. The dentist uses medication to help you relax. This might be in the form of pills, gas, or intravenous drugs. From there, you will either be very relaxed or enter a twilight state. You are unaware of the procedures taking place, which makes this ideal if you need to go through more involved dental procedures, such as a root canal. You should plan to have a friend or family member drive you home after undergoing sedation dentistry.

Prayer Group
The Prayer Group normally meets on the first Wednesday of each month at 2pm in a member's home and music and prayers lead us into a time of intercession, followed by a time of fellowship. These meetings have become an important part our church prayer life and are especially appreciated by those who find it difficult to get to our regular morning or evening services.
About 3 times a year, usually around Advent, Easter and in summer, we have an afternoon Communion service in church, when we are joined by other members of our congregations.
We are happy to help with transport where needed.
For more information or details of venues, please speak with June Frayn or Brenda Liptrot via the Parish Office.
Prayer is very important to us. You don't have to know any prayers if you want to pray - in fact, words can often get in the way. Picture Jesus, and then say what is in your heart, what you feel.
To find out more about prayer, follow this link to the Church of England website

On May 6, a UW – Milwaukee student held up a sign bearing a red swastika – symbol of Nazi Germany – for several hours near a group of students celebrating Israeli Independence Day on the UWM campus. The UWM Center for International Education rejects in the strongest possible terms the hateful and violent message conveyed by this sign. No supposedly benign intent or technical legality can excuse conjuring the atrocities committed and hateful views espoused by those who created and have followed this symbol. The Center for International Education and its staff strongly endorse this message from The Sam and Helen Stahl Center for Jewish Studies, and assert with a clear and resolute voice that hate has no home on the UWM campus.

September 16th – The Mexican Independence Day
September 16th – The Mexican Independence Day
The History:
Almost more than a century ago, Mexico was under the Spanish rule. The Mexican people had to face oppression and inhumane treatment for more than centuries. Then, the people decided to gain freedom from a tyrannical rule via a revolution in point of views and actions. As soon as this revolution was sought-after, the Spaniards found out about it and were keen to crush any sign of mutiny they would lay their eyes on.
However, the Mexican people did not want to postpone their plan – and instead, they launched this revolution ahead of time. The conspiracy started back in the early 1800's and was lead by some of the most famous personalities in the history, such as Father Miguel Hidalgo – a parish priest. One day, Hidalgo found out that the Spaniards were on their way to get him, when he asked most of the members of the parish to join him – and delivered the famous address called 'El Grito De Dolores', or commonly known as the 'Cry of Dolores'.
After he gave the speech, he was ready for battle with a poorly equipped army. The priest and his army, assisted by Ignacio Allende, marched off to Mexico City, laying siege to the town of Guanajuato; on their way. The army fought the well-equipped, yet less talented army of the Spaniards in the Battle of Mote De Las Cruces and then marched towards the gate of the city. However, they retreated maybe because of fear of a larger Spanish army on its way to reinforce the city. After a while, Hidalgo and Allende were defeated by a much smaller army of the Spaniards, were caught and executed. However, the ission was shouldered by a series of successors and Mexico gained freedom on 16th September, 1821.
Celebrations in the 21st Century:
The question is – how do the Mexican people celebrate the El Grito in today's time and age? The answer is; food stalls, parades, parties, festivals, parties and on top of everything else, bell-ringing. Classic cocktails, beef recipes, dishes made out of hand-picked pork and exotic margaritas are what cover most part of this globally recognized event. For Mexican-Independence themed parties, a list of non-alcoholic drinks are there, which can be enjoyed by people of any age and gender.
The bell-ringing is also one of the oldest and tradition-oriented scenarios the Mexican people go through on every Independence Days. This marks the historical speech given by Hidalgo, and the start of mutiny which helped the Mexican people win independence from the Spaniards. The streets light up, and the beauty of this day is cherished by each Mexican living across the face of the earth.
September 16th – The Mexican Independence Day is one of the most celebrated Independence Day by any country, in the history of the world. From the streets being decorated with the most exotic food stalls, décor and street shows, the Mexican people aim towards remembering the efforts made by their ancestors, in gaining freedom for this picturesque and tradition-oriented land.

This evening, I attended a very fun event sponsored by JustFab and hosted by fashion blogger Akinyi Audrey Ragwar. At this event I was able to shop, sip wine, and network with the many bloggers and vendors in attendance. While shopping, I purchased jewelry for me and my mother.
My mother's birthday is coming up soon, so I thought this would be the perfect place to begin picking out gifts for her. Although I only purchased jewelry, the vendors there sold other items like clothes, shoes, scarves, and hand bags. They had a variety of good selections.
While I shopped I sipped Pink Moscato Wine by Barefoot Wine which was free and provided by the event. I also ate free cupcakes and fruit which were delicious and provided by the event as well. Everyone in attendance were really nice and seemed to have had a great time.
There were styling games, constant raffle drawings, and many prizes given throughout the event. During a raffle drawing my number was called and I won a JustFab.com gift card which was really exciting!
What was so amazing about this event was that no one went home empty handed. There were gift bags full of gifts for everyone there. In my gift bag I received another JustFab.com gift card, polish, lip balm, and a compact mirror. (Below is a picture of my gifts that I won and received at this event). All must haves!
I had a really great time, I truly enjoyed myself! This affair was held at the Cleveland Park Library in Washington, DC, USA and only costed $5 to attend. I give this event two thumbs up!

Do you feel the blowing winds of change?
Have you felt as if there is more going on than what you see in your everyday life?
Have you wondered if we could resolve a potentially cataclysmic event without the help (or interference) of any government, organized religion, or corporation?
I have.
For as long as I can remember I've sensed an imminent shift. To me, it's felt as if humanity was on the verge of an enormous impending change and I've longed to find others who felt it, too.
Coming across the concept of Conscious Evolution I felt as if I'd found the X on the treasure map. As I dug deeper, I found a global community who believe we are ready, as a species, to evolve to the next level. Not only do they have a vision of a viable future for humanity, but they have an idea of how to get there. These people are committed to evolving themselves and connecting with each other in order to create the world they envision.
In Barbara Marx Hubbard's book, "52 Codes for Conscious Self Evolution," she offers a path to follow through this personal progression. The subtext explains that this is "A Process of Metamorphosis to Realize Our Full Potential Self." The codes are Ms. Hubbard's personal insights channeled from her own highest level of consciousness.
What I've realized is that the hidden treasure I've been searching for is inside me. Developing my highest potential self is the key. Connection with others who are called to this path will open the door to our future as a viable species. This is why Barbara Marx Hubbard refers to us as Generation One. We are the first generation of a new kind of human and I believe we have far more potential than we ever imagined.
Common Voice has set a purpose to re-write the language of conscious evolution—including the 52 codes—in more accessible and understandable language. We will post the codes one at a time—first in Barbara Marx Hubbard's words as they appear in her book, and then as we understand them. It's important to understand that we are posting the codes as written by Ms. Hubbard with her permission, but that our explanations or translations are simply that—our words. We hope you'll come to your own understandings. We welcome your comments, value your perspective, and hope our interpretations lead to an open dialog and a deeper understanding for us all.
If you'd like to join the conversation, feel free to like the Common Voice page on Facebook.

I created this image today from a drawing I did last night, which I reworked in photoshop. I call it "Home."
For six years I've been working towards integration. An odd thing was happening, and I was somewhat aware of it but also somehow oblivious.
The pieces I've integrated that were eight years old or younger joined one aspect of me--an aspect I've been calling "the eight-year-old."
The piece I've integrated that were older have all joined another aspect of me--the one I simply think of as "me."
I say simply... but it is anything but.
These two remaining aspects of me have been battling recently--vying for the rights to all of me. I have really struggled recently, dissociating frequently when there has been almost no dissociation in my life for the last two years. I have felt a constant swarm of emotions and feel close to tears a good deal of the time.
I am responsible for myself. I am responsible for my happiness. If I'm unhappy than I am the one who needs to do something about it.
But who the hell am I??
One side blamed the other. Every bit of anxiety was proof that the other side was wrong. It's been approaching the ugliness and brutality of a presidential election...
Last night I finally gave in. When I say that, I mean both sides of me--all of me. I gave in to the fact that I have done all the right things to survive, and that without every part of who I've been I wouldn't have made it this far. The image above came into my mind. I closed my eyes and held up my hand--from both sides--and I felt the energy of the other
both sides of me felt the energy of the other.
I am moving towards that very uncomfortable part of integration in which I will feel two separate sets of emotions at the same time, in which I will think two separate stands of thoughts at once, in which the very confusing double motives and desires, likes and dislikes, will pull me in two ways at once. I've done it before. Both sides of me have lived through it before.
This time I think is the last. Accepting each other now is the final thing I have to do to become whole. I'm scared. I'm still fighting it just a little. From both sides, I feel a strong need to be in control. But... I don't really see any other way to move on with my life. We've shared this body all this time, so I guess it's time to share our mind, too. For a time I think it will be co-consciousness rather than true integration. Maybe it will always be that way. I can't really know from this side of the bridge what I'll find on the other side... but whatever happens, whatever this is... it feels like coming home.

Evolutionary Soup
(My experience during the eighth Generation One class - an intensive with Barbara Marx Hubbard. We were working on Code 36:
Guide the Metamorphosis of Your Earthly Self with the Coding of Your Universal Self.)
Guide the Metamorphosis of Your Earthly Self with the Coding of Your Universal Self.)
I closed my eyes, noticing the rush of excitement. Only a few times had our group of five attempted this kind of connection. On my own, I'd been a frequent visitor to that space which some called The Field. Making the voyage with others—beyond breath, beyond the darkness of closed eyes—was a relatively new experience. Each time, it seemed to get easier and the joy within greater.
A breath.
A breath.
Be open
A breath.
Whatever comes is exactly right
Despite my attempts to drop expectations, I found myself watching for the glimmer I'd seen before, and indeed the darkness did seem less absolute.
Another breath. A single blue line… and then another… and then a whole horizontal grid appeared just above my head.
Another breath. The azure web stretched beyond perception. I felt myself rising up, pushing into the blue lines, which folded over and around my head like an intangible net.
As I continued to rise into the grid, I saw it stretch at four other points as spheres rose up nearby. As each sphere stretched into an oblong, the net seemed to stretch and strain as light poured out. In the bright illumination, I saw the faces of the others. Our five points of light were the angles of a star. The space between us was extremely bright and getting brighter as we continued to rise. Necks, shoulders, arms and bodies pushed up through the grid. By the time my legs and feet emerged, the light was so intense I found myself squinting even though my eyes were still closed.
I could hear the breath of the others. I felt energy all around me. Together, we seemed almost infinitely vast but also I was aware of how tiny I was within the endless Field. I put one hand on my heart, pulling the energy into that place that seemed to hold the physical essence of me, and extended the other hand out towards the other points of light. Powerful waves ran through me and outwards, connecting me to the others. We were five distinct beings and yet we were one.
"There's movement… just wave after wave of pure love," came from one point of our star.
Laughter poured forth from another. "It's so bright!"
A third said, "I'm like a drop of water in this vast ocean—separate, but part of the whole."
It wasn't the first time I was reminded of the Five Elements—Water, Fire, Wind, Earth and the Void—and mused to say so and then to explain, "Movement is like Wind. Bright light is like Fire. And the drops of water are of course, Water."
A little later, I asked, "If you three are Wind, Fire and Water, then who is Earth and who is the Void?"
Our fourth star-point chuckled. "I'm Earth," he said, definitively.
"Ah," I said, smiling. "Then I am the void."
It seemed we'd joined hands across the miles that separated our physical forms. Love, joy, peaceful connection and calm reassurance blended into one emotion as we simply existed together. There was a long pause. In the silence, I thought of the nothingness of the void and the familiar sense of paradox crept in.
The void, which it seems should be nothing at all, holds the promise of everything. A moment before the Big Bang, the Universe would have seemed empty, but within that nothingness was everything that has ever been. In the void, all things are possible.
And then, suddenly, a wave of something else. Something… insistent.
"Does anyone else feel that? A shift? Like a sense of…urgency?"
"Can you talk a bit more about that?" asked Wind.
"I don't know… I just had the strangest thought. So strange, but I feel like I should say it. I felt as if I was a simmering broth just waiting for the perfect ingredients to create… something amazing."
Fire said, "Put all the ingredients together into the void and you'd get… Evolutionary Soup!"
Light and joy and laughter came along with murmurs of Evolutionary Soup. The time had come to step back from the squint-bright darkness, the sense of urgency, and the immeasurable joy of joining in the Field. That night and the following day, the physical world had many requests of me, but now, in the silence of another evening I wonder at the memory of that lovely blue grid, the infinite star, and the urgency of evolutionary soup.

What Does "Christ Consciousness" Mean to You?
Imagine you're a child in a schoolyard. You're standing with a boy and a girl. The girl says, "This boy has a birthmark."
"I do not!" the boy exclaims.
"Yes you do!" the girl throws back.
Maybe you say, "I don't see a birthmark."
The girl tells you, "That's because it's hidden under his clothes."
What do you do now? Do you ask the boy yourself? Do you ask for proof that it isn't there? Do you ask the girl how she knows about a hidden birthmark? Do you express indifference, saying what does it matter if someone has a birthmark?
No matter how you react to this situation, the possibility now exists for you that the boy may have a birthmark. It's unlikely you ever considered the idea before, but now it is linked inside your head and this boy may pop up in your thoughts anytime you see someone with a birthmark.
It's how our brains work. The more knowledge and experience we have, the better equipped we are to assimilate new information—BUT—the first thing we heard and learned carries a great deal more weight than those things that come later. If someone later told you the girl on the schoolyard was a liar, you might consider what she said to be false, but it's likely you would have to hear from two or three people that the girl was prone to story-telling before you actually wrote the idea of the birthmark out of your mind.
If you grew up with Christ in your home, then you have a very distinct idea of what the word "Christ" symbolizes.
If you grew up without the word Christ in your home, but knew it to be a word others felt strongly about, then you may still have a very distinct—but different—idea of what the word symbolizes.
What if you (somehow) had never heard the word and had no idea what the religious or spiritual connotations might be? What if someone spoke to you of Christ Consciousness, and you could make it mean for you exactly what it meant for them?
For just this moment, try this experiment: Unravel the millions of times you've previously come across the word Christ. If you were hearing it for the first time, uttered in this phrase, "Christ Consciousness," if the speaker had no power or intent to manipulate you, if your entire goal was to understand what the speaker actually meant by this term, what might it mean to you then?

An alternate Rome existed at many times, either created in alternate timelines or as natural parallel universes.
Known Worlds Edit
During the War in Heaven, there were many Known Worlds where the Roman Empire never fell. Designated as "Romas", these were collected into the Empire of Empires. (PROSE: Warlords of Utopia)
The Rani's Rome Edit
The Roman Empire of an alternate 10 BC was created for the Rani in a pocket dimension, maintained by the entity known as Iam. In this alternate timeline, Rome generated electricity, built airships and steam-driven galleys, broadcast radio, and had many other disturbing anachronisms, due to them gaining access to the databanks of the Doctor's TARDIS when Iam created a copy of the ship's control console. The Rani also tried to manipulate the alternate Cleopatra VII's three children, but failed. Realising that this pocket dimension was too small to maintain its growing population, the Doctor was able to teach Iam how to create a new world, allowing Iam to transfer the population of this world to a new Earth, which came to be known as Terra Nova. (PROSE: State of Change)
Magog's Rome Edit
- Main article: Roma D
In another alternate Rome, Magog and four other Malevilus were worshipped for having led Rome in conquest of the galaxy. They later provided the alternate Romans with the technology to invade other dimensions. The Fourth Doctor imprisoned Magog in an empty dimension and started a revolution that led to the destruction of the other four Malevilus with the help of the robot Vesuvius. He left this Galactic Roman Empire in the hands of Vesuvius. (COMIC: Doctor Who and the Iron Legion)
20th century Rome Edit
Investigating why the multiverse was contracting, the Sixth Doctor became stuck on several worlds. One was a 20th century Earth where the Roman Empire never fell. This alternate universe diverged from the prime universe when Julia Caesar became empress of the Roman Empire and had her life prolonged by an alien technology. The Roman Empire eventually owned sixty percent of Earth. (PROSE: Spiral Scratch)

Yet as far as Obama's record-setting presidential golf outings, once again the sound you are hearing is crickets:
The next time President Obama hits the links, it will be his 100th round of golf since coming to the White House. That's quite a milestone in just 3 1/2 years. As it takes him about six hours to drive to the greens and complete 18 holes, Mr. Obama has spent the equivalent of four months' worth of work time golfing. Meanwhile, the U.S. economy has been stuck in a sand trap...
Mr. Obama had no sense of the inappropriateness of playing 99 rounds of golf while 99 percent of the country couldn't even afford the cost or time to go once. Now he wants a second term to finish what he started. After the 100th round, voters may want to think twice about giving him a mulligan.Ironically, back in 1994, future Obama top adviser David Axelrod criticized President G.H.W. Bush for playing too much golf and therefore being too out of touch with the American people:
Note that Axelrod admits that "beating up on Bush is the only thing we have left."
The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Traditional furniture is characterised by old-world style, craftmanship and dark, heavy wood. It's furniture that was made until the end of the Victorian period when Modernism began.
The Look
Traditional furniture has a very definite look, and may not always mix in well with furniture from other eras. It is very distinctive and may look best if you decide on one room - perhaps a dining room or living room to decorate in this style.
It can be quite dark in appearance. Given this, you may consider keeping your walls and soft furnishings on the lighter side. Alternatively, you can go for darker walls and furnishings and really embrace the vibe! Make sure that you're using all of your fixtures to tie the style together- look at a traditional lamp, clock or mirror as an attractive way to accessorise.
The Price
Traditional furniture is can be expensive, due to both the age of the furniture and the craftsmanship. When you're buying the furniture, you should be able to get a full history of the piece that you're buying.
There is a lot of reproduction traditional furniture on the market. This can often still be very well made and look great- but should also have a lower price tag! Don't be shy about looking at a reproduction, only you will know it isn't the real thing. Pieces like a sofa, bed or couch may not have aged particularly well, and a reproduction might be a better option once you take reupholstering or a new mattress into account.
The Pieces
If you decide to outfit an entire room, remember that not all pieces we need for our modern lives will be found in a traditional style. If you're hunting for storage, this can be tricky. Aside from old-fashioned chests and bookshelves, traditional storage units aren't built for gadgets and cords. If you're looking for an entertainment unit or TV cabinet you'll need to look at reproductions or re purpose a cabinet, chest or trunk.
You'll see pieces with a lot of intricate carving- you might even find claw-foot legs on a dining table or chairs. Table tops will often be inlaid wood or even marble. If a piece of furniture is in need of restoration, if it's more intensive than a simple polish, don't attempt this yourself. It's important that the restoration is handed over to an Antique expert so that the piece isn't damaged or devalued.
Keen on a Traditional look for your family home? Take the guesswork out of buying, check out our Furniture Buying Guides. At House of Home we've got the best tips on how to find the best Traditional furniture.

1982 Dodge ChargerReview
My New Charger 2.2 — I bought a white and black charger at Arlington Park Dodge in March 1983. It was a great little car and it could not pick up the chicks like my friends formula so I sold it for a Bricklin. But I now miss the car and found a nice red charger 2.2 for sale and bought it 26 years after selling the original!!! Yea baby not many left out there. I have also had a shelby which is so much cooler and faster but I still had to have this red 2.2. Well I am not 16 anymore and Arlington Park Dodge is gone but I can still drive around in this 2.2 with Quiet Riot Blasting Cum on and Feel the Noize!
Pros: The perfect way back machine and good on gas: I am saving the planet
Cons: slow; but can get in my Javelin to go fast

THANK POTATO collection, 20 different varieties of potato displayed above The Boxty House Resturant, Temple Bar, D2, http://boxtyhouse.ie/ these potatoes will be grown above the resturant for the summer, with a harvest party later in the year.
ROOFTOP POTATO PROJECT 2013 http://www.urbanfarm.ie/rooftop-potatoes.html
Why grow Potatoes as an urban food project ?
The potato is the fourth most important food in the world. But so far, it has not featured prominently in the debate on food security.
The potato crop is of key importance in that it provides high nutrition and is an adaptive species for climate change.
Potatoes use less water per nutritional output than all other major food sources.
The potato provides more food per unit area than any other major staple crop, three or five times that of wheat or rice. Potatoes are the perfect food and one of the few that can actually sustain life on its own. One medium-sized potato has 110 calories and provides complex carbohydrates, amino acids and anti-oxidants. One 5.3 ounce (150grams) potato provides 620 milligrams or 18% of the recommended daily value (DV) of potassium and 8% of the DV of fibre.
Potatoes are also an excellent source of vitamin C with 45% of the DV, vitamin B6 with 10% of the DV and iron providing 6% of the DV.
Potatoes have potential to double or treble current yields of 8 tonnes/ha using quality approved seed, improved varieties and more effective farm practices in developing countries.

Do you know where your smartphones are? Tips to manage mobile devices
Sensitive data walks out the door every night on your users' smartphones. Our experts offer five points to secure and manage mobile devices.
Smartphones have completely wriggled their way into our lives, both business and personal. Pity the CIO who forgets about these powerful and popular tools when it comes to securing and managing his network. For some, smartphones and other mobile devices are the weakest link in their networks, simply due to failure to successfully manage mobile devices.
Focus on two key areas for mobile device management:
- Deployment or the management of updates and other changes to mobile devices.
- Security or the ability to ensure that mobile devices are secure at all times.
Deploying changes to mobile devices
If you're using mobile devices in your network, chances are good that you're using Research in Motion Inc. BlackBerrys, Apple Inc. iPhones, Android devices or Microsoft's Windows mobile phones. If you're lucky, you'll have only a single type of device in play -- in most cases, however, organizations need to manage several different devices at the same time, using a variety of tools.
Research in Motion has the most experience in with multiple device management. Its BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) allows you to manage your inventory in a single administration console and easily deploy BlackBerry OS updates to all your devices while monitoring the update installation process from your desk. BES has been around for a while: In fact, when a modification to the Daylight Saving Time (DST) was made in 2007, BlackBerry administrators didn't have to deal with the hour-change nightmare -- they simply deployed the DST patch through the BES server, and all their mobile devices were updated. If you manage BlackBerry devices, BES is your best bet.
For iPhone users, iTunes is still required to deploy software updates to your mobile devices. If you have several iPhone devices in your company, think of placing your iTunes deployment strategy on workstations to ensure that your iPhones are up to date. Other phones use a variety of both local and remote update services. Basically, if you manage more than one smartphone type, you will need to manage multiple updates or change deployment strategies.
Securing mobile devices
When it comes to security, it's vital that you have control over your users' remote devices. For BlackBerrys, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server will again allow you to control security policies. For almost all other devices, Exchange ActiveSync Policies (EAP) is your game plan. EAPs have become a standard -- iPhones, Android devices and Microsoft smartphones all rely on these policies to control their devices to some degree. While EAPs were originally designed to control Windows Mobile devices exclusively, they have evolved to provide a standardized means of control of any smartphone. Whether you use BlackBerrys or other smartphones, you'll be able to control the following security characteristics:
- Password and data security: Deploy a strong password policy across your mobile device inventory. Also, force all mobile devices to lock after a certain time of inactivity while requiring a complex alphanumeric password to unlock the device. You need the ability to wipe out mobile devices remotely, in case users lose their phones. This will prevent potential confidential information breaches if the phones fall into the wrong hands and will also protect the owner's identity.
- Encryption: Most devices come with strong encryption encoding that cannot be disabled. For example, the iPhone iOS4 uses Advanced Encryption Standard 256-bit encoding -- other phones use similar levels. Make sure that every device in your stable is locked up with a strong encryption policy to protect data or any confidential settings when the device is locked.
- Application security: By connecting mobile devices to EAPs or to a BES server (remember, EAPs are not supported by BlackBerrys), you can control accessibility and application settings. For example, you can allow or deny the use of removable storage on mobile devices that support it. You can also make sure that only signed applications can be installed on the devices, reducing service calls and future troubleshooting.
- Mobile IT security policy strategy: Define a strong and simple security policy for your mobile devices. It's easy to get carried away with IT security policies, but if you make them too complex, it's more pain than gain.
- Employee awareness: Since almost everyone has a mobile device these days, educate your users on the potential security risks. For example, implement a company policy that requires employees to inform you if they have lost their phones.
Basically, you need to manage mobile devices just as much as you need to manage workstations, by supporting the deployment of changes as well as the security of the device and implementing a remote device policy. Ignoring mobile devices in your security policies may end up introducing a weak link in your network. Nobody needs a weak network. Do your homework and prepare for the worst ahead of time.

Joseph, Mary, and Baby Jesus. You need to include the "Baby" part.
Two shepherds in from the Hills, and the biggest sheep you ever done seen.
Three Wise Men, including Mr. Hooper. And who's to say he wasn't? He was able to ease Bert and Ernie's pain on Christmas Eve with some paper clips and a rubber duck; he could bring the frankincense!
Three angels. But not Charlie's Angels. Although that's not a bad idea for an update...
The whole scene good to go. Can you hear the choirs singing? In your head? Out of your head?
Other visitors come to adore the babe, wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. Including Marge Simpson, Gilligan, a Sleestak, the Scarecrow (Wizard of Oz, not Batman Villain), the White Rabbit, Darth Maul, Bender, R2-D2, Batman and Bullwinkle. Everyone needs redemption. Even Sleestaks.
Merry Christmas!

Whale Saved 10 Years Ago Reunites With Rescuers
One morning in November 2000, a large humpback whale was found stranded on a beach near Ubatuba, Brazil, clinging to life in the crashing surf. It didn't take long before a team was assembled of nearly one hundred fishermen, firefighters, biologists, and locals who began working tirelessly to return the struggling animal back to sea -- and after twelve long hours, they were successful. Still, as that whale slipped beneath the waves and out of sight, those volunteers could only hope their efforts were not in vain, knowing full well that the whale's chances of survival were slim. But now, after ten years of guessing, rescuers are finally sure the whale is alive and well -- because they've seen it.Sadly, beached whales have become an all too common sight in Brazil; this year alone, 95 animals have been discovered, only one of which was returned to the sea alive. For the rescuers who inevitably arrive to give beached whales a fighting chance, the work is daunting and the outcomes uncertain at best -- but for the first time ever, it has been discovered that their efforts can pay off.
In 2008, biologists doing researcher in the waters off Brazil spotted a large, healthy-looking humpback whale with coloring that was startlingly similar to the one they'd rescued from the beach eight years earlier. To confirm this unlikely reunion, skin samples were collected and compared to those taken from the stranded animal in 2000. Now, after genetic analysis, it has finally been confirmed to be the same whale.
Never before has a rescued whale been re-encountered after so long at sea -- and the news is giving hope to those who continue to devote their time to saving beached whales.
"The confirmation of the survival of this animal for a least eight years after its stranding shows that, despite the low chances of survival, it is worth every effort to save the whales," veterinarian Milton Marcondes told Brazilian media.
The odds that a whale will survive after beaching, however, are still quite slim. Of the hundreds of whales that have become stranded over the years, only three large humpbacks were returned to the ocean alive -- and even then, it isn't known whether they survive for long or not.
In the past, some have questioned if efforts to save beached whales were worth the trouble, believing that the animals were sick or injured and would likely die in either case. But for the biologists and volunteers who struggle in the surf to rescue those majestic creatures in desperate need of a helping hand, the slightest chance of success is always worth their sweat, and often, tears.
And with a fleeting glimpse of one such rescued whale, swimming alive and free against the current and against the odds -- they can carry on knowing that they do not toil in vain.

Moderate risk 401k, Vanguard target retirement fund, and low risk savings account. Looking for something slightly riskier.
Great question J, the answer depends on several variables. One very important question I ask my clients is why are you investing?
Some other information I like to know about my clients' is, what is their tolerance for risk, what is their investment time frame, and what are their financial responsibilities?
I recommend you find a financial professional to work with you. All success is accomplished by have a great team. Olympic athletes have coaches, trainers, doctors, agents, and other professionals on their team. Do you deserve any less? Are the fruits of your labor and your financial future not worthy of professional assistance?
I provide model investment portfolios for anyone to use at their own risk at www.DavesFavs.com These portfolios are for investors who want growth of their assets, global exposure, and are slightly riskier than what you've listed as your existing investments.
You're on the right track J. I wish you continued success,
Everyone says they want more risk in their investment portfolios until they don't. In a universe of thousands of choices, it is difficult at best to provide anything more than tips. What you really need to consider is having a plan including an investment policy that will provide you with a road map for your investing. It's one thing to pick an investment but it's another to have a process for evaluating the choices and the rules for when/what to buy or sell. Otherwise, you're at risk of assembling a "collection" of investments rather than a "portfolio" built for your needs.
In addition to the suggestion of working with a qualified financial planner, I also suggest diving deep into your risk profile by using the tool at www.RiskProfiling.com. This risk measurement tool goes beyond what most advisors use because it includes behavioral analysis as well. I find it provides a more accurate risk profile for an investor.
That being said, if this is money for retirement and you're looking to go beyond what you can do in your 401(k), consider a variable annuity. You can put away more money above and beyond your elective contribution limits than a 401(k). You can access a very low cost ($240/year) variable annuity through a fee only planner (or anyone other than a commissioned insurance agent as these options are usually not offered by them). The Monument series of Jefferson National is one option and includes more than 300 different mutual fund-like subaccount investment options.
You can also consider contributing to a Roth IRA depending on your income.
Without knowing your age, investment time frame, risk capacity (which is different than risk profile), it would be near impossible to make specific recommendations.
If you are a "passive" investor, then index funds or index Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) may be the best way to go. You can build a portfolio with them based on the models found on the Bogle Heads blog (http://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Lazy_Portfolios).
If you want more alternative investments that you'll never get in your 401(k), then consider adding Master Limited Partnership mutual funds or ETFs for an inflation hedge and income. I think emerging markets are a good addition.
For active investment in a mutual fund, consider Kaufman for large cap, Harbor for bonds, Ivy Asset for a global "go anywhere" mandate.
Or consider bringing in a professional to help you.
J, Congrats. Looks like you are well on track. I work with quite a few clients like this. What I suggest is the following. Work with your CPA and your financial advisor to review other tax defferred plans under the IRS guidelines. to see what works best given your individual scenario. You might want to consider a 512 i plan for great tax defferred benefits. Good luck Dan
First, congratulations. The fact that you have maxed out your 401k and IRA put you well ahead of the vast majority of Americans. This shows discipline and a willingness to live below your means, both of which are commendable.
As for investment options, the answers given above about variable annuities are a decent option if you are looking for tax deferred growth and potential protection from creditors. But my preference would be to open a regular taxable brokerage account and build a portfolio of solid dividend-paying stocks, REITs, and MLPs. Whatever you lose in tax benefits, you often make up in reduced fees and greater flexibility.
A more unorthodox option would be to take a stab at buying rental property. I would advise starting with a cheap property and seeing if it is something you feel you can handle. A small portfolio of rental homes could be a nice complement to a stock and bond portfolio.
And finally, if you find yourself with more cash than you know what to do with (we call this a "high quality problem"), consider paying down your mortgage if you have one.
Great answers from Danny, Steve and David. I would agree that a written plan and a competent advisor that you trust is key. Whatever you do, please don't go chasing after the investment that has been " hot" recently like many investors do, lest you end up being " Fooled by history". See below for more on this:

- dirtygirlfarm HOW YOU MOISTURIZE
Moisturizing is a big part of skin care, no matter the type of skin! Skipping moisturizing altogether is a big NO NO, but did you know you could be using your moisturizers incorrectly? Put your moisturizer on while you're still damp (you don't need to be sopping wet) by doing this, you will trap the moisture still on your skin.
- For those of you who would like to try this as well, you can use a coupon code 'Babytobikini' that will give you a discount of 10%.
As i mentioned i also gave my nails a little spa in the meantime, i tried the 'Super strong nails' and i am still using it ( i am testing it now for a period of almost 2 weeks ) i simply apply it to my nails and cuticles. The smell is fresh, a bit minty and it is applied within 2 minutes and helps me to keep my nails strong.
Allready now i was feeling refreshed and ready to go! But there was still one more pamper moment for me this day to try and these were the restoring 'Night eye gels' from Patchology. Did you know the hours between 10pm and 12 am are the best time to repair skin? I did put the lines to bed with a powerful nightly dose of anti aging Retinol and peptides. These gels help you to reduce dark circles. Arnica extract soothes your tired eyes to sleep. Really, just try them.. perfect for moms like me, who are basicly Always tired ( and therefore look tired as well ;-))
So now i am reboosted and restarted after some me time, i am ready t go again!
I hope you enjoyed my review, i know i did haha.
xoxo Margriet

Good thing I love mine *hugz*
(BTW, Paul, please don't tell me you don't have any photo of all us that's better than this... I remember you were snapping quite a few shots here... don't only pick the one which you look good in, gotta think of the rest of us too!)
After our last lovely guest had left, hubby and I sighed as we reflected what a beautiful time we all had together squished together under one small roof.
It's been a long time since we had experienced student life...... cooking and eating together (in a tribal-like manner)...... late night conversations discussing nonsense as well as thought-provoking issues...... waitng for each other's turn to use the shower and toilet...... stepping over sleeping bodies sprawled out all over mattresses on the floor...... sharing stubbies...... and simply just laughing, talking, and playing together!
We simply want to say THANK YOU to these lovely people for being our guests and let you all know how much we enjoyed every minute of your stay.
Moments like these are precious. So we savoured every drop of it because we'll never know when we'll get another opportunity to be together like this again.
P.S. from MH: Family times are hard to come by as we grow older...... let's treasure every moment of it! (and always find excuses to meet up as often as possible -- this is a mental note to myself too)

If one group of D.C. police officers has body cameras and another group doesn't, do they behave differently? The results of a study released Friday say no.
The Metropolitan Police Department and applied scientists with the D.C. Office of the City Administrator measured the impact of body-worn cameras that 1,200 patrol officers and sergeants wore for about seven months across the city. That data was compared with a group of 1,200 officers without cameras.
"The body cameras were proven to have not fundamentally changed policing," Kevin Donahue, the deputy mayor for public safety said.
The study looked at officers' use of force, their productivity, how many tickets they issued and whether citizens filed more complaints.
"Body-worn cameras may have great utility in specific policing scenarios, but we cannot conclude from this experiment that they can be expected to produce large, department-wide improvements in outcomes," the report says.
Michael Tobin, the director of the Office of Police Complaints, said the cameras have an effect the study doesn't show.
"Just having the cameras there and having an outside, third-party witness at every interaction improves community trust," he said.
A spokesman for the D.C. Fraternal Order of Police said the study shows that, by and large, officers are doing their jobs correctly, whether they're wearing cameras or not.
The Office of Police Complaints is set to issue its own report soon that looks at the number of times that officers turned on the cameras late or not at all. That has happened in at least a third of the cases they've looked at. It's a matter of training and getting used to the technology, the office said.
The police union spokesman it's not clear how many officers have failed to correctly use their cameras. He said they always welcome more training, especially with new technology.
D.C. Council Member Charles Allen said the Council is aware of whether or not the cameras are being used correctly.
"I think our compliance rate's good. There's also discipline that takes place when an officer does not engage the camera the way they're supposed to," he said.
D.C. expanded its body-camera program before the study results were released. All officers are now set to get the cameras soon.
The impacts of the cameras will be studied again in the next six months.

VIRTUAL Friends

Posted in WikinutFamilyFriends
May it be for real or virtually, no one is an island and everyone needs a friend to call on.
My Online Friends
All I just wanted is to learn a foreign language, master the art of expressing myself in another form of language and enhance my knowledge about it. Who would have thought that this passion of mine could be a bridge into something wonderful. Something that is more relevant to my life. Something I will treasure because I consider it precious.
In the past few months, I have been trying to dig deeper to see the bag of treasures of learning a new language. I have tried German, French and Russian. German language never fails me to go crazy with their pronunciation. I just love how my tongue got tangled whenever I learn new words especially those with lots of consonants. French language, on the other hand makes me feel so witty and classy. I am so amaze with Russian culture that's why I ventured myself on Russian language. I've been doing all my studies online through the help of a language site called busuu.com. It was really a great tool for learning, but I have never imagined it would be a bridge, too for me to meet these wonderful people I know now.
Have you ever experience having a busy day, lots of stuff need to be done or worse, a really bad day? And suddenly you just put up a smile because you were appreciated by these people you called VIRTUAL FRIENDS. I called them virtual friends because all of them, I just met online. We have never really had the chance to see each other in person in real time. Time zone is a test in our friendship. And we're all happy that we pass the exam with flying colors. Even if we have 4 - 12 hr - difference, we still manage to talk to each other and at least once in a while do video conference and talk anything under the sun.
I got tons of virtual friends. From East to West, North to South, but I tried to choose the real ones. In this type of world where we first met (INTERNET) we can never really be 100 percent sure of everything. Necessary precautions are still need to be done and assessed. There are people who'll befriend you with hidden agenda. There will be some of them who will just laugh at you because you look different to what they normally see in their place. Some might give unnecessary or racist comments. We need to be aware of those things and of course we would never want that to happen to us.
My friends, I have known them for just several months, but I have this inexplicable connection with them. It might be passion for language, personality, characteristic, views, opinions etc. They seem to be very kind and nice people. The fact that we haven't really met each other, they have proven me a lot of things I certainly believe before with other culture were not totally true. Before, I have bad images with Western culture, I don't typically like Europeans for their 'snob character' but as I met people with this cultural background, little by little it is getting clearer to me what is the real thing. They were my eye opener. They helped me in such a way they can never imagine that they are of big help.
This blog entry is for them. For those whom I consider my virtual friends. As a person who works home based and just sitting in front of the computer all the time, they are somehow becoming my REAL world. You guys are well appreciated (EQUALLY appreciated).

Computer vision syndrome (CVS), also known as digital eye strain, is quite common in today's society since people of all ages spend many hours a day staring at computer screens. At his optometry practice in Cypress, California, Dr. C. Gene Wilkins specializes in treating computer vision problems. If you experience regular eye discomfort or changes to your vision when looking at a screen, tablet, or smartphone, you could have computer vision syndrome. Call Dr. C. Gene Wilkins, Optometrist or use the online booking tool to schedule an exam and learn about ways to reduce eye problems from digital eye strain.
Repetitive computer use for several hours a day can lead to computer vision syndrome (CVS) or digital eye strain. CVS describes a group of eye and vision-related problems that result from prolonged computer, tablet, and cell phone use. The level of eye discomfort and vision difficulties you experience with CVS often correlate to the amount of time you spend looking at a digital screen.
Viewing a computer or digital screen is different from reading a printed page. Often the letters on the computer or handheld device are not as precise or as sharply defined as they are in print. This adds to eye strain and symptoms of computer vision syndrome.
In addition to eyestrain, common symptoms of CVS often include:
The longer you stare at a screen, the worse your symptoms get over time, too. And, screen glare, poor lighting conditions, or poor posture can make your computer vision problems worse.
There are several things you can do to reduce the symptoms of CVS, including:
Dr. Wilkins can help reduce eye problems from daily computer use with prescription glasses that not only ensure that you can see the screen clearly, but that also reduce glare from blue light technology. Computers, smartphones, and tablets all emit a significant amount of blue light. Your eyes are not well-equipped to block blue light from computer screens, and blue light contributes to digital eye strain.
Prescription eyeglasses that reduce glare from blue light minimize these particular lightwaves and therefore alleviate eye strain. In some cases you may also benefit from vision therapy, or visual training, so your eyes can function better without straining as much while you're in front of a screen.
If you are bothered by the symptoms of computer vision syndrome and taking frequent breaks isn't helping, you may need prescription computer glasses. Call the office to schedule your comprehensive eye exam, or use the online booking system to request a convenient time.

Credit cards either get stolen or lost, and chances are it can get into the possession of somebody with the wrong intentions in mind. Fraud happens when the credit cardholder has not authorised the transaction. As a merchant, this can get fairly costly for your business with high chargeback fees and loss of sales revenue.
But while there's always a risk you'll be vulnerable to fraudulent transactions. There are measures you can take to ensure it is kept to a minimum and where you can rest easy knowing your e-commerce website is for the most part safe.
In this post I want to highlight a few red flags you should be keeping an eye on.
1. Adding 3-D Secure
3-D Secure (Three-Domain Secure), is a security protocol to prevent fraud in online credit and debit card transactions. Offered by the credit schemes, it ensures the customer is actually the credit card holder by allowing them to assign a username and password to their card.
Transactions authorised through 3-D Secure have a liability shift, which in most cases means that you can avoid paying high chargeback fees from the credit card schemes.
By adding this extra layer of security, you not only protect your e-commerce store from fraud but can also ensure your customers are secure in case their credit card is used in fraudulent activity.
2. Review suspicious orders
Another way of preventing fraud on your e-commerce website is by keeping a close eye on anything suspicious. You know your business inside out, and that also means you know who your customers are and what their buying patterns are. If you notice an order that looks too good to be true, it's generally a good idea to review anything out of the ordinary.
An example would be if you're selling electronics, and then suddenly someone puts in an order for 20, 48" televisions. Sounds a bit suspicious, especially when people usually have just one television in their homes.
To help prevent fraudulent transactions from your store, be sure to look out for these warning signs:
- Orders larger than normal
- Requests to change the shipping address after the order has been paid
- Unusually large quantity of international orders within a short period of time
- Large number of orders all happening at an unusual time
- Multiple orders from different customers shipped to the same address
- Suspicious and fake email addresses
- Suspicious shipping address like P.O. Boxes
3. Verifying order information
Whenever you come across suspicious orders you will want to ensure the order information is valid and checks out. The main things to keep an eye on is the shipping address and the contact details.
You can verify the shipping address by doing a simple search online to see where the address is located, and cross checking to see if it matches addresses for shipping companies and freight forwarders.
If the billing address and shipping address don't match, and are located quite far apart, you might want to get in touch with the customer to confirm the order.
Call or email the customer to see how they reply to question about their order. A potential red flag is when the email bounces because it doesn't exist and the phone number is not valid.
Please bear in mind that even when you take these measures, there's still a chance of fraudulent activity happening on your e-commerce website. At PAYMILL we have 3-D Secure enabled by default for our merchants to help keep chargebacks under control. To find out more about our security features, check out the PAYMILL Security page

A really smart Rottweiler dog has helped save a tiny pug named Olive who has been trapped down a hole for 10 days.
Nichola Jones the rottweiler's owner, was walking the dog when he picked the scent of the terrified pug in the bottom of a well after she had run off spooked by fireworks.
Sensing Olive the pug's scent during the walk, Bear guided his owner to the spot where the little dog was trapped.
"Bear is a hero, he's a wonder dog. He was behaving in such a strange way. He is such a happy animal. He's so special and this just tops it."
Ms Jones said: "I have been following story and we have been walking around the area trying to find Olive, and suddenly Bear stopped. He wouldn't move. So I went through the hedge and I found a well and looked down and there was this black pug. I climbed in and pulled her out."
Saffron's mother Zed Hale added: "Bear is amazing. He is beautiful and has saved Olive's life. He deserves a medal."
A delighted Saffron, 16, said today: "I'm so relieved. She's lost a lot of weight but other than that she's fine. We were so happy when we got the call."
Bear isn't the first Rottweiler to come to the rescue, you can find a lot of similar articles in the web, articles that show the true nature of Rottweiler./express/
