Drink-Driving At Xmas: 750,000 Expect To Drive While Over Limit
Hundreds of thousands of motorists expect to take to the road while above drink-drive limit, survey says.
744,000 Expect To Drive While Above Limit
Thousands of motorists expect to hit the road while above the drink-drive limit this Christmas risking their safety and others, Co-op Insurance claims. Its survey of 2,000 people shows that 18% - which equates to 744,000 motorists – plan to flout the law despite safety campaigns emphasising the consequences.
Drink Aware, for example, says: "Even small amounts of alcohol can affect your ability to drive". The survey also shows that whereas 45% of respondents expect to still be above the limit the morning after a night out; 26% might climb behind the wheel within hours of waking.
Motorists have a range of excuses to justify drink-driving. The most popular – as cited by 31% - is: "It will not harm anyone". This is followed by: a taxi is too expensive (28%), I do not want to walk home (25%), I have done it before (20%), the roads will be quiet when I drive (18%), alcohol does not affect me (18%), and I can handle my drink (13%). Drivers in Wales seem most likely to offend with 27% expecting to flout the law. Wales is followed by: London (24%), South East (23%), West Midlands (23%), South West (17%), Yorkshire/Scotland (16%), North West (13%) and the East Midlands (8%).
Co-op Insurance is encouraging motorists on a night out to plan ahead to: "Lessen the risks on the roads". Nick Ansley, Head of Motor Insurance, argues: "The fact that over 740,000 drivers believe that they are going to be over the limit when they drive this Christmas is not only shocking but inexcusable. The effect of drink-driving is far reaching and can have devastating consequences for the drivers themselves, their passengers, other road users and their communities."
Mr Ansley adds: "We are urging people to designate a driver this Christmas to ensure that everyone gets home safely."
Motorists that flout drink-drive laws face a wide range of consequences. The Government confirms that those convicted of: "Being in charge of a vehicle while above the legal limit or unfit through drink" could receive 3 months imprisonment, a £2,500 fine and a ban.
This rises – for those convicted of: "Driving or attempting to drive while above the legal limit or unfit through drink" - to up to 6 months imprisonment, an unlimited fine, and a 1 year driving ban (3 years if convicted twice in a decade).
The penalties rise considerably for drivers that cause death or injury.

Link to Top 50 Position.
Scott Adsit as Pete Hornberger
Alec Baldwin as Jack Donaghy
Tina Fey as Liz Lemon
Judah Friedlander as Frank Rossitano
Jane Krakowski Jenna Maroney
Jack McBrayer as Kenneht Parcell
Tracy Morgan as Tracy Jordan
Current number of seasons: 2 (3rd comfirmed)
Runtime: 448 mins (21 Episodes)
Number of Discs: 3
Awards: 2 Golden Globes, 1 Emmy, 2 Gracies, 1 Peabody, 1 PGA, 2 SGA, 1 TCA, 1 WGA
The Show:
30 Rock is a 20 minute-ish comedy show from Tina Fey about the goings on in and around a fictional television show run entirely inside 30 Rockefella Plaza (located in the Rockefella Center, NY and home of NBC). Tina stars, writes and produces the show so it's very much her baby and it shows in it's quality.
Liz Lemon (Tina) is the head writer for a moderately successful comedy sketch show called "The Girly Show", but when a new executive - Jack Donaghy - is transferred and takes charge of the show he rapidly installs dramatic changes. Hiring the somewhat mentally disturbed film star Tracy Jordan in order to appeal to more demographics and renaming the show "TGS with Tracy Jordan" or "TGS".
Initially the show struggles a little to find its place, the first few episodes are amusing but not that funny, it's not until around episode seven (or so) that the writers find the dynamic that works best and suddenly the show transforms from being sort of funny to comically brilliant. The working relationship between Liz and Jack becomes one of the core dynamics of the show and things really begin to spark.
Once you get beyond the slightly rough start the show is consistently clever, satyrical, witty and funny. Tina gives a stunning performance as the dorky and unsure Liz, Tracy is just brilliant as 'Tracy', Judah manages to consistantly be hilarious as the unashamedly porn-obssessed nerd Frank, Jane is top notch as the insecure aging Jenna and Jack is laugh out loud funny as the country boy turned enthusiastic page Kenneth. But the real star turn is from Alec Baldwin who is just effortlessly brilliant as the bombastic and egotistical Jack, his performances are consistently brilliant and he's just great in his scenes with Tina.
I got into watching 30 Rock off the back of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, as I was looking for another show which was based on the backstage goings in of a fictional sketch show. 30 Rock satisfied that need in some ways but ended up becoming a far more enjoyable experience in many other ways. I loved Studio 60, but the antics of the TGS crew have won a space on my DVD shelf entirely on their own merit. It's a great little comedy gem and I hope it manages to keep going and improving (which it does in the second season).
The Other Stuff:
The product comes packaged in a cardboard dust jacket with three almost identical slimline DVD cases. I am a little confused by the choice of artwork (see top of this post), it has this strange lime green colour choice for the background buildings and the three stars (Tracy, Tina and Alec) all have a slight second after image. Maybe you're supposed to view the case with some of those non-tinted 3D Glasses or something. Also the colour filters used on the actor's photographs are a little strange. Alec looks like he's a waxwork version of himself, maybe he is. Perhaps he was too busy with his custody problems to pose so they had one made up for the shot. Who knows?
Sadly, there's not a lot to talk about here beyond the packaging. This Playback release is very much no-frills. In fact, it's so no-frills that they decided to cut out the subtitles as they're obviously just an extra for people who like to read. They're not important, no of course not.
Mind you, when it comes to the extras it seems we're not missing out too much. So I won't complain that much this time.
The set can be purchased from Zavvi for £25 (which is 5.6p per min).
The Final Thoughts:
This is very much a lightweight release, you get the show and nothing else for your money. I must say (write?) it's a pretty poor decision to exclude the subtitle track and thus force any hearing impaired fans of the show into recording their own copy with subtitles. But this shouldn't take away from the experience for everyone else, the show is clever, funny and awesome in all kinds of ways.
The Final Score:

I couldn't resist this Listography topic, revisiting those Famous Folk that I Used to Fancy.
First there was Tony Curtis. I would fantasise about us getting married. Slightly worryingly, he would have been in his forties and I was a pre-teen. I absolutely adored his character in the Persuaders.
Then there was Pete Duel who played Hannibal Heyes in Alias Smith and Jones. I was devastated when he shot himself.
The next man to get my hormones racing was Tim Matheson (right) with his role in the quest. Looking back, co-star Kurt Russell was far hotter. Maybe it was the slight resemblance to Pete Duel that did it for me.

Okay I'm not sure if any juniors read my blog, but I realised I didn't feature most of them in my initial GBWC 2012 coverage, so here we go! Junior work deserves to be featured as well 'cos these guys are the future of Gunpla. We can't let them fall prey to video games and girls! LOL. Okay the last one is unavoidable I guess. But on a serious note, I feel that in Singapore especially, our young are raised too fast paced and results-oriented to respect patience in a hobby like Gunpla. Most of them either never pick it up seriously, or lose interest along the way. So I hope that the boys and girls (yes there are one or two girls! Bravo) that took part in GBWC 2012 S'pore, whether or not you win, don't give up the hobby, and keep at it! Let's roll...
I kinda like this Age FX. If you look closely in the lead pic, some dry-brushing was attempted too. Good effort and nice pose!
This one's by a girl if I remember correctly.
Real cute lol. If he sticks to the hobby, someday his river will look like a real miniature one, and his greens will have the texture of vegetation. It's all a matter of patience and hardwork.
Same for the bus stops and styrofoam buildings. As long as the idea is there, the execution will improve with age.
Nice use of the diorama here. Probably the best diorama piece in Junior cat.
LOL build of the day...
I like the subtle shading on this one. With more work, this fella should improve his paintjob in no time. Keep it up!
That's all folks, not sure if I missed out any...If I did, feel free to point out and I can add if there are pics. Good luck to all Junior contestants!!

"Short Man's Syndrome" is funny and all…
Until that short man kicks your ass.
T-Up has definite Short Man's Syndrome, stacking up to a small list of only 5 ingredients. But we'd be lying if we didn't say T-Up has some of the biggest balls we've seen on a supplement. The best part: Those balls can definitely kick your ass.
(How's that for a mental image?)
About T-Up
Manufactured by Nutrex Research, T-Up sells itself as a "MEGA Testosterone Booster" for more muscle gains, strength increases, and enhanced recovery (Sign me the fug up!). The Supp Facts are short, but the T-boosts run deep, thanks to one ingredient: DAA. Formula notes:
- D-Aspartic Acid: Need we say more? This should basically guarantee a "positive" review from us (SPOILER ALERT: It basically does).
- Simple Formula: Including DAA, T-Up uses only 5 ingredients to get the job done.
- Nutrex Research: T-Up isn't the only T-booster sold by these manufacturers, indicating a sense of T-boosting veteranship with these homies.
T-Up Supplement Facts
|Serving Size: 4 Capsules
Servings Per Container: 30
|Amount Per Serving
|Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxine HCl)
|2 mg (100% DV)
|Folic Acid (as Folic Acid)
|400 mcg (100% DV)
|Vitamin B12 (as Cyanocobalamin)
|6 mcg (100% DV)
|Zinc (from Orotate)
|15 mg (100% DV)
|D-Aspartic Acid
|3000 mg
|Other Ingredients: Gelatin, Magnesium Stearate, Silica, Titanium Dioxide, FD&C Red 3, FD&C Red 40, FD&C Blue 1, and FD&C Yellow 6.
|Directions: Take 4 capsules once per day between meals. Only one serving per day is needed. We suggest taking this product for 60 days. Use daily for best results.
T-Up = V.B.'s + Z + the-one-and-only-OMG-I-can't-believe-it DAA, baby
The only missing acronym here is the zuper duper ZMA, but we ain't even mad.
T-Up tees off with a condensed, manly formula that cuts all the BS and gets to the T-boosting point with the best T-booster available, our #1 chosen T-booster on the BIG LIST of T-Boosters: D-Aspartic Acid.
Check it:
D-Aspartic Acid, 3000 mg
What's better than D-Aspartic Acid?
Okay, good point…
But in terms of increasing T levels, DAA is the current best option available. And T-Up's DAA is looking meaty here at this ballsy 3000 mg, which (fun fact) is the clinical dosage used in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study that resulted in 42% boosted T after only 12 days of supplementation.
Considering that the study used the plain DAA form to find these results, we're fine with T-Up using it as well… But we can't help but wonder if T-Up could be BETTER with the stronger, easier-to-absorb D-AA-CC.
Probably, but we won't be baby bitch boys about it.
The Other Ingredients
Vitamins & Minerals, bro. Get excited.
As we've mentioned, T-Up could use a little Magnesium to complete the ZMA picture—which is really the only reason to really get excited about Vitamins & Minerals in a T-booster. But at least it has 2/3rds of ZMA: Vitamin B6 + Zinc (our #2 T-booster).
As far as dosaging goes, T-Up sticks with a safe 100% DV across the board, which is… fine. Vitamin Bs typically need WAY more than that, though.
Umm, what else… The Zinc could be upgraded to a premium Zinc Citrate, B6 to a more potent P-5-P…
And that's about it here.
The "Other" Other Ingredients
These only deserve special mention here due to Nutrex's description of T-Up:
"Ultra Testosterone Supporter in a Vegetable Liqui-Cap!"
Ya, sure, okay, bro… Technically, it is "Vegetable", but it's the nasty part of "Vegetable" (Magnesium Stearate) that actually hinders the formula's digestibility—plus it's coated in all that Titanium Dioxide/FD&C fake coloring that looks like clown shit.
I mean… Come on!
Formula Analysis
We screwed up, bro.
Judging by our ingredient rundown T-Up, the formula's number of Cons seem to outweigh the Pros… In truth: The few Pros of this T-booster (DAA, Zinc, B6) are far more pro-ey than the Cons (not D-AA-CC, meh dosages, "Other Ingredients") are con-ey.
The only reason it's easy to "pick on" is because it's simple—and believe us, bro: That's a good thing.
Other, inadequate formulas attempt T-boosting through over-complicated, exotic, yet unproven methods, whereas T-Up takes what's proven (D-Aspartic Acid) and cranks it up on the dosage—throwing in a few male healthy vitamins and minerals, because why the hell not?
The result is a refreshing, "No-BS" T-booster that cuts the shit and gets straight to business.
Our beef with the formula is small beef (Let's call it "veal"): Ingredient forms could be better, vitamin dosages higher, "Other Ingredients" removed…
A separate concern that comes with the fact that T-Up seems to WORK is that it may require an E-blocker (i.e. aromatase inhibitor)—check out this other DAA-driven formula to see how that works.
Otherwise, T-Up works as a condensed, simple T-booster that accomplishes what many T-boosters can't:
Boosting T.
T-Up Benefits
As opposed to athletic-oriented formulas that include extra benefits on performance, T-Up's effects are straightforward and narrowly linked to increased T levels:
- Potential 42% Increased T Levels
- Supports Muscle & Strength Gains
- Aids Muscle Recovery
Without the additional libido enhancers, energizers, etc. that seem to come standard with T-boosters these days, T-Up's benefits will only be felt by men with previously low T levels.
This should explain why younger users tend to give T-Up overwhelming negative review scores as opposed to more mature* men (*physically and mentally)—which sets us up for the next section:
Who Takes It?
Man BROs. As in not boy BROs. D-Aspartic Acid is a powerful, natural T-booster that works by boosting natural T production. Therefore, if T production is at its natural prime—which is the case for 18-25 year olds—then it doesn't really need to be boosted. Younger bodybuilding doods looking for performance enhancing T may find something more suitable here.
Any Side Effects?
Nothing beyond the usual side effect of T-boosting: Irritability.
T-Up doesn't give any outright "cycling" instructions other than to "take it for 60 days." After which we'd recommend cycling off for a couple weeks and perhaps following up with a natural PCT product to avoid any consequent aromatization from your boosted T levels.
T-Up Summary
- Two Top T-Boosters. DAA & Zinc coming in hot at #1 and #2, respectively.
- Well-Researched. Not the formula, but the individual ingredients.
- Nutrex Research. These manufacturers understand T-boosting.
- No ZMA. Not a major con, but, shit, a little ZMA never hurt nobody.
- Cheap Forms. Most ingredients can be upgraded.
- Needless Additives. Fake coloring, doooood??
Pricing & Buying Info
- 1 Bottle (1 month): $59.95
- Available online and in retail stores
Final Word on T-Up
Fact: T-Up will boost T. Considering the amount of bunk T-boosters on the market, that fact alone should qualify T-Up as worth your time (and $). But we don't just like T-Up because other T-boosters are shitty. We like it for boldly betting on only a few ingredients, two of which are major heavy hitters: DAA + Zinc. Anything else would be a bonus.

I figured since the event with Lion's Arch is coming to a close, I would take the time to grab some pictures of the city. Some areas I could not get to since they were guarded by mobs, but I did get some good shots anyway. These were all taken by Lady Survonna as she journeyed through the destruction of Lion's Arch.

These are some insomnia inspired burblings which I rattled out on Tumblr the other night. Please forgive the poetic generalisations and bad grammar.
(All art by yours truly)
It's interesting to think that when we draw fantasy maps in an antique style we will use a combination of symbols and representational 2D art - for mountains or forests for example. Draftsmen and architects are required to render real or yet-to-be landscaping and buildings in ways that are both accurate to scale or exactly distorted to match a viewer's perspective.
Real and fantasy maps can please the viewer in terms of the appreciation of the artist's craft and technique, but also as a creative vision - a communication of the mind's-eye with detailed embellishments. The viewer can also experience a sense of vast open space, no matter what their surroundings are. We can wander around in tiny areas of maps (something done long before the the click and zoom-in of today's technology).
Maps are immersive.
They are virtual realities - simple and accessible.
Perhaps it is no coincidence that Tolkien's works and fantasy books by CS Lewis became so popular whilst also having a terrain map. Perhaps AA Milne's map of Pooh's environs including the Thousand Acre Wood appeal in a way that mere words or scenic illustrations don't. We are exploratory and territorial beings - a location and a sense of place is important to us. Sometimes when we are dropped into other people's worlds its perhaps only good manners for our hosts to provide a map!

This sweet and sour sticky short ribs is one of my family favourite dish! The original recipe called it Gao Sheng Pork Ribs (高升排骨)because of the portion of its ingredients. One part rice wine, two parts sugar, three parts Chinese white vinegar, four parts the light soy source, five parts water, the increase of its ingredients ratio, that's why they name it. I didn't follow the quantity of the original recipe because I don't want to add too much light soy source and sugar in it.
It is a very delicious short ribs dish, and easy to prepare from our home kitchen. The secret for a delicious plate of sweet and sour sticky short ribs is you have to first deep fry the short ribs with low heat then turn to high heat before stir fry it with seasoning. This will ensure the short ribs is cooked and tender.
500g short pork ribs
50g rice wine
90g sugar (to taste)
100g Chinese white vinegar
100g light soy source
250ml water
a dash of black peppers
1 tsp of fermented red bean curd
cooking oil enough to do deep fry
1. Wash the short ribs properly. Marinate the short pork ribs with fermented red bean curd, 30g of sugar and a dash of black peppers, cover and set aside for at least an hour in fridge.
2. Heat up a small pot with cooking oil enough to do deep frying. When you lower a pair of chopstick, there will be bubbles appears beside the chopstick that mean the oil is ready for deep frying. Lower the heat to medium-low, place the marinated short ribs in. Deep fry for about 4 mins or until the short ribs turns light golden brown. Turn the heat to high, continue to deep fry until the short ribs is cooked. Fish out the short ribs on the kitchen paper to drain excess cooking oil.
3. In a bowl, stir together the remaining 60g sugar, rice wine, vinegar, light soy source and water. Heat up a wok with 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, place the deep fried short ribs into it, add the seasoning mixture, stir fried with medium heat until the source thicken. Taste the source, add sugar if necessary. Serve warm.

- Description
The Marmot Always Summer 40 Degree sleeping bag is built for warm weather backpacking and camping. For the price, you'd be hard pressed to find a better alternative to its combination of features and down-insulated performance. A relaxed mummy cut strikes a balance between warmth and comfort.
The Always Summer 40 Degree is insulated with 650+ fill down. Fill power measures the loft, or "fluffiness," of down insulation. Marmot goes to great lengths to guarantee the 650+ certification with a battery of in-house and external verifications. Renowned for their efficiency in retaining heat and compressible properties, the feathers and fibers of down have an incredibly soft, comfortable feel and, despite advances in synthetic materials, continue to provide the best warmth-to-weight ratio of any insulation available. The one weakness of down insulation is that it loses much of its ability to maintain warmth when it gets wet. The one weakness of down insulation is that it loses much of its ability to maintain warmth when it gets wet; this is less of a problem in the Always Summer 40 Degree, though, since the down in this bag is protected with Marmot's Down Defender water repellent treatment that allows the down to stay drier 10 times longer than untreated down in damp conditions. Down Defender down also maintains significantly more loft and dries faster than untreated down.
Eliminating cold spots and providing comfort, sewn-through baffles ensure that insulation is evenly distributed throughout the bag. Ground-level side seams make it difficult for body heat to escape through the zipper and a draft tube seals cold air out of the bag along the zipper. An ergonomic baffled hood helps to reduce heat loss and a down filled collar with drawcord adjustability helps to keep cold air from entering through the top of the bag. An integrated stash pocket provides a handy storage option for keys, lip balm and other small items. Zipper guards help to avoid irritating and damaging snags and two-way sliding zippers allows venting on warmer nights. An anatomically-shaped footbox is wider at the toes and narrower at the heels, providing a more natural fit while improving warmth and comfort.
The Marmot Always Summer 40 Degree sleeping bag is available in Regular (fits up to 6' 0") and Long (fits up to 6' 6") lengths. A stuff sack and a storage sack are included.

You can look for freeware here:
For text readers, look for:
PalmReader / eReader
You can't update the OS in the Visor, however, you can use the latest Palm Desktop:

There was a patch for Visors that worked around a RAM chip problem in some models. I can't remember for the life of me what it was called-- HSUpdater, maybe?-- if you installed it, the Deluxe's OS would read as 3.1H3 if you didn't have the RAM problem, and (I think) 3.1H3P if you did.

5 Photography Tips For Fashion Photographers
Fashion photography can be quite exciting and challenging at the same time. You need to have the right knowledge of composition, exposure and lighting to take the right shots. Let us look at some useful tips for budding fashion photographers aiming to take it up as their profession.
Five Useful Tips on Fashion Photography
Right Equipment
First of all fashion photography should be crisp and for that you need to invest in a camera with high megapixel count. In terms of lens, it is better to buy telephoto lens which can be adjusted between 15-55 mm and has a fast aperture.
Outdoor Photography
As a fashion photographer, you will also have to work at outdoor locations. To get the best results you will have to know about landscape photography as well as ways of controlling light sources whether you are taking photographs in evening, daytime or in low light.
Editing Photos
Any professional fashion photographer rarely publishes any of the photographs without performing some amount of digital editing. Right from changing a bright photo look warm and natural to airbrushing of wrinkles and over blemishes, editing becomes necessary. As such you should improve your knowledge and skills of image editing software such as Adobe Photoshop.
By having proper knowledge of such software you will be able to control the colors, levels as well as lighting to enhance your photos.
Fashion Lighting
Fashion photographers need to have good knowledge of various lighting modifiers such as giant umbrellas, beauty dishes, scrims and octabanks. Beauty dish offers beautiful contrast to sculpt features without turning shadows appear harsh.
On the other hand, giant umbrellas make spread of light even and is considered ideal for full length photographing. Scrims are generally utilized to diffuse harsh outdoor light as well as indoor glowy beauty photo sessions.
Octobanks bring even texture to shadows and light. They also form good looking rounded gradients for background and natural catchlights in model's eyes.
As a professional fashion photographer, you should learn to retouch the images in addition to using services of professional retouchers. Such retouches help in giving the photographs personalized appearance and feel.

Napa State Hospital is one of the five state mental health facilities in California charged with treating severely mentally ill, often violent, patients. Statistics and news reports suggest that living and working at the 1,100-bed facility in the last several years have been an ordeal for all. Documented incidents of violence by patients against staff in the second quarter of 2010 totaled 200 — double the total in the same period in 2009. Reports of patients assaulting one another increased sixfold, to 692, in the same year-over-year comparison. In fall 2010, a psychiatric technician, Donna Gross, was killed by a patient on the grounds of the secured treatment area.
It was the first killing of a staff worker in 20 years at any of the California state hospitals, but clearly the system had a problem with violence. Patient assaults against staff and other patients in total doubled at Metropolitan State Hospital from 2006 to the end of 2011. At Napa, they tripled between 2008 and 2010, declining only after Gross' death led to a prohibition on patients walking the grounds by themselves.
Part of the problem at Napa has been the effort to comply with a 2006 federal court order to stop violating patients' rights by overmedicating and excessively restraining them, and to focus on a recovery-oriented treatment program that involves getting patients out of their rooms and into group therapy sessions. Doing that, particularly on the fenced-in yet rambling grounds of Napa's secured treatment area, has proved troublesome. In the 1990s, a minority of patients were there for criminal reasons. Today, more than 90% of patients are hospitalized because their illnesses led to some criminal violence. And after state budget cuts, there are fewer staff members per patient.

I am grateful for grace; had a lil quanta with one of my siblings and it was only the grace of God that saw me through. I am grateful for prayers answered, both directly and indirectly. Sometimes, you make a prayer request and you are looking at route "A" thinking that's how the answer will come but right from underneath you, the answer comes from route "B".
This week alone, I have consciously and unconsciously made prayer requests and I can only say God has answered most of them. Both for peace of mind, family peace, calmness, boldness, fun, happiness, laughter, financial breakthrough, divine favor, journey mercies, emergency help and deliverance…..In case you were wondering, Yes, I actually do pray for such things.
I am grateful for the thanksgiving holiday—its one of my favorite holidays—because it gives me an opportunity to officially thank God, and of course, I get to eat a lot within that week. This year was no exception, I had a blast with my loved ones, and because I know that there are people who didn't have this opportunity, I am just gonna pause and say—I am grateful for the opportunity to have a blast. You may be one of those people angry with God for having not answered that major prayer you have been praying since January 1, but what about those people who cant even pray? What about those people who are 6ft under and have no hope of prayers answered—take out time today to say "thank you God" for giving me one more day.
I am grateful for peace of God that calms a stormy weather. I am grateful for new friends. I am grateful for having a job, a place you can wake up in the morning and go. I am grateful for a good work schedule. I am grateful for strangers we meet that put a smile on our face. I am grateful for friends who keep you company and stay up with you when sleep is MIA. I am grateful for prodigal relatives that still remember they are relatives. I am grateful for the gift of hope.
I am grateful that in spite of all my wickedness, immaturities and filthiness, that he still accepts me as his and calls me "mine". I am grateful for setbacks for they are opportunities for God to prove himself strong. I am grateful for they give me reasons to be grateful and to testify and to be able to write my TGIF series. I am grateful for all the wonderful bloggers who are not angry that I have been MIA from their blogs in a while. I am grateful for you reading this right now, No, don't turn around, I meant you. Yes you. I am grateful for you.
Have a wonderful weekend y'all.
My words, my views, my style! Naijagirl©2009!

Former European President Jose Manuel Barroso has issued a blistering attack on EU leaders and institutions over their attempts to frustrate his plans to take up a new role with Goldman Sachs.
In a strongly worded letter sent to his successor, Jean-Claude Juncker, today, Barroso stated: "It has been claimed that the mere fact of working with Goldman Sachs raises questions of integrity. Whilst I respect that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, the rules are clear and they must be respected.
"These claims are baseless and wholly unmerited. They are discriminatory against me and against Goldman Sachs."
Yesterday, Juncker announced the EU will undertake an ethics investigation into Barroso's new role with the investment bank, to determine whether his appointment breaks EU rules. Barroso, who led the European Commission for a decade between 2004 and 2014, will be asked to clarify his role at Goldman Sachs and whether he will be involved in lobbying his former colleagues and subordinates.
Read more: Should the City be worried about the EU's new Brexit negotiator?
"I have not been engaged to lobby on behalf of Goldman Sachs and I do not intend to do so," Barroso stated.
"Whilst, in principle, I have no objection to the reference to the committee, I would have concerns if a decision about my status has already been made," Barroso warned Juncker, in the letter seen by various media outlets. He added: "Not only are these actions discriminatory, but they appear to be inconsistent with decisions taken in respect of other former members of the Commission."
In response to his appointment as the chair of Goldman Sachs International, employees at the European institutions launched a petition calling for "strong, exemplary measures to be taken" against Barroso.
Goldman Sachs has previously defended the appointment, stating it abided by the 18-month window where Barroso's appointments were subject to intense scrutiny, and insisted: "We follow strict rules set by our global regulators in the hiring of ex-government officials."

A highly addictive opioid, hydrocodone is widely prescribed in the U.S. for treating pain. Moreover, if it is not used as prescribed, hydrocodone can lead to increased tolerance or even addiction. More here on signs of hydrocodone abuse, with a section at the end for your questions.
Abuse of hydrocodone
Classified as a Schedule II drug by the Controlled Substance Act, hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic opioid that affects the central nervous system. This habit-forming narcotic is used for two reasons in medicine: the first one is to treat moderate to severe pain, and the second is to treat cough. Moreover, hydrocodone it is one of the most prescribed drugs in the U.S., and it is always prescribed in combination with other ingredients like paracetamol, ibuprofen, and so on, in order to reduce its addictive potential.
But, if you do not use hydrocodone as prescribed, you are abusing the drug. In fact, any use of hydrocodone in a way that is not recommended as prescribed is both illegal and considered to be abusive. Here are some signs of abuse of hydrocodone:
- Hydrocodone use in higher doses than prescribed
- Hydrocodone use more often than prescribed
- Hydrocodone use by chewing, smoking, snorting, or IV injection
- Mixing hydrocodone with alcohol, illicit drugs, or other prescribed medications
- Taking hydrocodone to get high
- Taking hydrocodone without a prescription
Hydrocodone abuse
Available in variety of forms including pills, capsules, and solutions, hydrocodone is designed only to be swallowed. To work as intended, it must be digested in the gastro-intestinal track; and only later enters the bloodstream before it is crosses the blood-brain barrier. Taken in this way, hydrocodone's effects are delivered properly and effectively.
Administrated in any other way, you are releasing a concentrated amount of hydrocodone to the central nervous system, which increases the risk of adverse side effects. Moreover, when you abuse hydrocodone, you put yourself at risk by triggering many side effects that can damage your body and health. Some of the most common hydrocodone abuse side effects include:
- Confusion
- Damage of different organs
- Difficulties in breathing
- Fainting
- Fatigue
- Losing consciousness
- Overdose which can lead to death
Additionally, negative side effects affect every field of your life, and have a huge impact on your work, social, and emotional life. Hydrocodone abuse can result in:
- Constant mood change
- Hospitalization
- Job loss
- Loss of family and friends or other relations
- Mental health issues, including addiction and psycho-emotional problems
Hydrocodone abuse statistics
We advise that you are very careful when you use hydrocodone, and read a lot before start using it. Here is a list of the most up-to-date trustful sites that deal with statistics on hydrocodone abuse:
Drug Enforcement Administration
National Institute on Drug Abuse
Office of National Drug Control Policy
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
Hydrocodone Abuse Questions
This is only a general view on hydrocodone abuse and its side effects. For more on the treatment of hydrocodone addiction, please contact us in the comment section below or via our contact us page. All your comments and questions are welcomed and appreciated. And, we are eager to help you!

Moglen, along with Diane Peters, the general counsel for the Open Source Development Labs, and Mike Milinkovich, the executive director of the Eclipse Foundation, will be talking at a session titled "GPL 3.0: Directions, Implications, Casualties."
Moglen will talk about GNU GPL (General Public License) 3.0 and the fact that the FSF (Free Software Foundation) is just weeks away from announcing the roadmap and process that will govern the release of the first draft of the rewritten GNU General Public License.
The FSF is also expected to release within the next month a process document that tells people exactly what the rules are going to be for the discussion and comment submission process around GPL Version 3.
But Moglen is not expected to give much more detail than this, given his desire to "put all that information out publicly at one time, and we expect this will take place sometime in November," he told eWEEK.
"I want to use my talk to discuss how copyleft, community-based development changes business operations software and their communication structures and so on.
"I will also use the time to talk about how technology that many initially thought would enable better business-to-business communication, like XML, is in danger of being locked up and vendors tied-in and reproprietized in ways that businesses constantly have to struggle against if they want to reap the full benefits of those technologies," he told eWEEK in an interview in advance of his talk.
Moglen said he would cite examples of this in his talk, including the need for instant messaging to be based on open standards and for VOIP (voice over IP) not to be monopolized or chopped into segments that could not interoperate with one another.
"I am going to draw a few simple inferences from those facts about the relation between business and its technology to show why GPL-like free software that protects its own and users freedoms is so important," he said.
Asked how much support there was for open standards in the business community, Moglen said the open standards idea has enormous vigor in it at the moment.
"I think when you see the Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires an OpenDocument format, you know that there is an enormous parade that is going to form up behind the first really large public user with the gumption to demand that," he said.
Interoperability is a word that has found its way into the press releases and the chalk talks "of the monopoly [Microsoft] last year because it is the centerpiece of everybodys concern about 21st-century technology," Moglen said.

People with handicaps face an enormous number of challenges just getting around, much less getting an education, working and making a living. They need people dedicated to helping them achieve their goals. Working with the handicapped can be a rewarding profession, whether you serve as a teacher, counselor or personal aide. The options for work in the field are as wide and varied as the population you'll serve.
Special Education Teacher
Special education teachers work in the classroom . They accommodate students with issues ranging that include learning challenges, cognitive impairments and physical disabilities. Special education teachers develop a curriculum to help students reach their full potentials, despite obstacles. You'll need a bachelor's degree and a license or certification from the state, after which you can find work in mainstream public and private schools and in facilities designed for students with special needs. Median pay in 2010 for special ed teachers was $53,220 per year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Rehabilitation Counselor
Rehabilitation counselors offer support, advice, technical assistance and other resources to people with handicaps or disabilities. The goal of a rehab counselor is to help clients navigate their personal and professional lives and live independently while facing and learning to cope with the challenges of a disability. Rehabilitation counselors work in many settings, from schools and government agencies to employment assistance programs and private practices. Most jobs require a master's degree and some sort of state certification or licensure. In 2010, they earned a median annual pay of $32,350, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Human Resources
Human resource professionals hire, train and accommodate employees with all kinds of needs. Staffers in the HR department can place people with handicaps and assist in developing a workplace that is conducive to special needs. HR workers also serve as advocates and represent handicapped employees in workplace issues. They can also help their employers to implement laws, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act, ensuring equal opportunities for all workers. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that in 2010, median pay was $52,690 a year for human resource specialists.
Personal Assistant
Personal assistants get up close and personal, helping clients to adjust and adapt to their daily lives. People with handicaps can stay in their homes instead of having to go into nursing homes when they find home care options that work for them. Personal assistants can help with all aspects of living, from basic tasks like hygiene and nutrition to emotional support, friendship and assistance with professional endeavors. The needs of each client are varied and specific. There are no standard requirements, as clients are free to set their own standards for education and experience. For personal assistants without advanced degrees working through an agency, the median pay in 2010 was $20,070 per year, although this may vary greatly by client, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
