Afterwards, one of the things my surgeon told me is that I would most likely have what's called, First Bite Syndrome. This is a complication that often occurs after patients undergo parapharyngeal space surgery. In technical terms, inadvertent ablation of the Parotid gland's sympathetic innervation results in the development of severe parotid gland–area pain at the first bites of food.
Basically, when a person eats, there's excruciating pain for the first few bites, then the pain subsides. What makes matters worse is the anticipation that the pain is forthcoming.
As someone who has been doing EFT for years, I was curious if EFT might help relieve the pain. There's an old EFT saying, "Try it on Everything," so I thought I'd play around with tapping for FBS. I didn't want to write about this until I had used EFT 20-30 times for pain relief.
Whenever I was going to eat, I started continuously and vigorously tapping on the Karate Chop point. That's all. By continuously tapping on this point, I discovered that pain was minimal and tolerable, no more than a SUDS of one. This compares to First Bite Syndrome where it was initially a SUDS of a piercing ten. Also, tapping on the Collarbone point worked just as very well.
I'm going to experiment with other points and perhaps saying some EFT setup phrases. It's nice to have a tool like EFT for pain relief.]]>
A ways back, I had the opportunity to teach EFT for a prisoner Anger Management class. People had to apply for the program because it was so successful in producing results. There was a waiting list to take the class.
My experience was extraordinary and certainly one of the most rewarding times I've ever had in my life. With EFT the changes were powerful and dramatic. Some days it was magical in the positive energy created. I saw people learn skills in communication and using EFT to dissipate their anger. After the class was completed, I had great respect for everyone who participated.
Another person who has done wonderful volunteer work teaching Anger Management classes to prisoners is Gene Monterastelli. Gene has started a project to create a toolset by publishing a book for inmates. He needs our help. You may want to participate. Gene is very talented, has great integrity and is positively impacting the lives of prisoners and their families. Please click on the gray and blue "Imprisoned by Anger" link below to watch a short video of Gene Monterastelli providing an overview and showing you how you can assist in helping manifest this very worthwhile project.]]>
That's the premise of a new book out by Grant Connolly. The title of the book is Allowing Happiness on Cue: A Simple, Powerful Way to Gently Let Go of Feelings and Limiting Beliefs that Block True Peace of Mind and Happiness. It's available from Amazon in the USA, Canada, the UK, France and Germany in the English language edition, plus there are Kindle and Nook editions if you have an electronic reader.
The book introduces you to the ZPoint Process, a healing technique that you can learn in minutes to feel increasingly peaceful, relaxed and emotionally balanced. The ZPoint Process uses a cue word to employ the power of our subconscious mind to change the things that contribute to any feelings of unhappiness.
What if you could feel happier and transform your life by clearing away the things that make you feel unhappy, allowing your happiness to shine through? What if there was a process for this that you could learn quickly and easily? What if you didn't have to do much because it worked automatically, ingeniously whenever you gave it a cue? That's what you'll learn in Grant's book. And it's more than a book. It's a book with recordings because you also get access to free download recordings to guide you through the process step-by-step.
Grant Connolly wasn't always so happy. He had a very unhappy childhood, got bullied, dropped out of high school, and felt like a failure for many years. No more. Today, his life is rich, full and deeply satisfying. In short, he's having the best time of his life. After going back to school in his early thirties to study technology—computers and communications—he followed his passion and worked with computers for a number of years. Fascinated with how the subconscious mind works, Grant became a certified hypnotist.
Using his greatest abilities—following his intuition and synthesizing everything he's learned—he developed the ZPoint Process to transform his life by clearing away all the things that made him feel unhappy. He says that when we clear all of the things that we are not, underneath we'll find the person we've always wanted to be.
Allowing Happiness on Cue is a gem of a little book. It'll help you learn a process that can help you uncover the happiness that's already there!
Years ago, I read what I consider the best book out there on how stress affects our health, psyche and spirit. It's Stanford professor and researcher Robert Sapolsky's, Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers. He's a biologist specializing in neuro-endocrinology. I just watched a older National Geographic Special, Stress, Portrait of a Killer, on Netflix. Robert Sapolsky is a great story teller. He makes science fun and interesting. He knows how to explain stress in language that's easy to understand. He makes it clear that unlike Zebras, we human beings can't seem to find our "off" switch when it comes to stress.
In the American culture we seem to revere stress and being busy. Many of us certainly don't understand how stress seriously impacts our health. Stress overload does mental and physical damage. Some of the most common health problems, caused or worsened by stress are:
Robert Sapolsky has studied Baboons for over 30 years because he says that they are a good model for our Western culture. Like human beings, Baboons live in a hierarchical society. They have troops varying from between five to 250 animals. His research over the years has indicated that by conducting blood tests, the baboons at the top of the rung has less stress that those below. The dominant, aggressive male baboons have less stress chemicals in their bodies. He found that the most stress occurred in the Baboons at the lower end of the hierarchy.
What's even more fascinating in the documentary is that they also did research on measuring stress with people in the British Civil Service and the same thing held true. There was less stress higher up and more at the bottom. I highly recommend the Documentary. You can see a short clip of it here.
Robert Sapolsky certainly has a sense of humor because he says that he's a type A personality and is stressed out from working 80 hours a week. And, he says that we need to find ways to release stress overload on a daily basis. Whether it's meditating, exercising, or doing EFT, we need to have an ongoing positive habit for reducing stress. It's essential for our health and well-being.
The book is the ultimate question and answer guidebook for using EFT to feel more energized and alive. Rated five stars on Amazon, what has made the book so popular is the scope of information on EFT and because the book was co-authored by 20 World-Class EFT practitioners, including several EFT Founding Masters.
"What a Godsend!" — Dr. Chris Morgan
"A book that offers tremendous hope." — Burton Moon
"An extraordinary reference." — Dr. Tom Driber
"Fabulous book filled with quick, painless formulas." — Anna Bryde
"Best book on EFT I have ever read." — Dr. Dusan Djukich
"Full of practical gems." — Dr. Terry Gibson
The book offers 19 topics areas, over 300 examples of specific EFT setup phrases and 50 real life cases stories of proven results for ways to use EFT to overcome some of the most common emotional and physical issues.
*** Book Chapters ***
As mentioned, in addition to the English language paperback edition, the book is also available in DRM-free electronic editions for the Kindle and Nook reading devices. That means our ebooks are lendable, and they're not locked to any one device. That's important to know when buying ebooks.
Perhaps we can learn a lot from the works of Émile Coué, a French psychologist and pharmacist who developed "optimistic autosuggestion." Basically he said that the greater effort you make to resolve an issue, the more it returns. The more you exert your willpower and try, the more your imagination replies that you can't.
He says that contrary to what we might believe, when the Imagination and the Will are in conflict, the Imagination invariably wins.
He said to create a positive change in our mental or physical being, we must consciously suggest to our unconscious mind. He used repetitions of verbal messages as a means of changing behavior and called them "Autosuggestions." Perhaps his most famous autosuggestion is:
"Every day, in every respect, I am getting better and better." Coué emphasized saying the words, "in every respect" because it played to every need whether mental or physical. [Note: It's often translated as, "Every day in every way, I'm getting better and better."]
Émile Coué said that in order to understand properly the part played by suggestion, or rather by autosuggestion, we need to know that that the unconscious self is the grand director of all our functions. The unconscious is that powerhouse that provides energy for conscious thought and action and for the performance of the vital processes of the body. The unconscious is the supervisor over our physical processes. Digestion, assimilation, the circulation of the blood, the action of the loans, the kidneys and all the vital organs are controlled by it, not the conscious mind.
What's important in autosuggestion is — no idea presented to the mind can realize itself unless the mind accepts it. The basic law of autosuggestion is:
Every idea from the conscious mind, if it is accepted by the unconscious, is transformed by it into a reality.
When we gently and in a relaxed manner, instead of forcefully, fill our conscious minds with ideas of health, joy, goodness, efficiency, and can ensure their acceptance by the unconscious, these ideas become new realities. That's why it's important not to exert effort when making an autosuggestion because it takes us out of a relaxed state and suppresses the tide of the unconscious. Also it creates a conflict. Autosuggestion succeeds by avoiding conflict.
Coué said that we possess within us a force of an incalculable power when directed in a conscious and wise manner gives us a mastery of ourselves, releasing physical and mental ills so we can live in relative happiness.
Émile Coué recommended formulating autosuggestions that included these three elements: (1) Immediate relief. (2) Rapid progress. (3) Complete and permanent cure.
As an experiment, let's take the autosuggestion teachings of Émile Coué and combine them with EFT and tapping. Do this. Take some time to be by yourself.
From today onward, I shall become more and more conscious of all that is happy, positive and cheerful.
All the troubles which used to perplex me will have vanished and never return.
The thoughts that enter my mind are strong and healthful ones.
My life is growing smoother, easier, and brighter.
Trouble Sleeping
Every night I will fall asleep when I want and continue to sleep until the time I choose to wake up on the morning. My sleep shall be calm, deep and peaceful. On waking I'll feel well, right, alert, eager for the day's tasks.
Depression, Feeling Down
Instead of being moody, anxious and depressed, I choose to feel cheerful and happy. I prefer to be happy even if I have no particular reason for being so, just as in the past I was feeling unhappy for whatever reasons. From today onward, I shall become more and more conscious of all that is happy, positive and cheerful.
Physical Pain
[Note: Touch that part of your body in pain with one hand. Tap on the EFT points with the other and say — ] I know my pain is going away. It's going, going, going, gone. [Note: Repeat the words "going, going, going" as fast as you can, producing a continuous stream of sound. Keep it up for about a minute, pausing only to take a deep breath when necessary. Say the word, "Gone," at the conclusion.]
Feeling Impatient or Angry
I no longer feel anything of the kind. On the contrary, I feel more patient and in control. The things that used to irritate me leave me entirely.
Fears or Phobias
Any fears or anxieties I had cease to occupy my mind. They melt away like a cloud. As a dream vanishes when we awake, so do any fears or anxieties I had.
Lacking Confidence
Any lack of confidence or self distrust I had is gradually disappearing. I have confidence in myself. I enjoy feeling confident. I have immense power within me. The thoughts which enter my mind are strong and positive ones. My confidence manifests in greater strength each and every day.
Getting Things Done
I erase such words as "difficult," " impossible," or "I cannot" from my vocabulary. I replace them with this phrase: "It's easy and I can." Even though it may be difficult for others, it comes easy to me. I do things easily, without effort and without fatigue.
If you'd like to learn more about "autosuggestion," you can download an ebook for Kindle, Nook or iBook editions for free. Go to Project Gutenberg and search in authors for Émile Coué, or the title Self Mastery Through Conscious Autosuggestion. Also, check out the C. Harry Brooks book, Practice of Autosuggestion.]]>
If you ask most smokers, they'll tell you that they'd like to quit. Many have even tried. In fact, according to the US Food and Drug Administration, 70% of smokers want to quit, and more than 84% of them are unsuccessful in their attempts. So what's the issue? It's simply that smoking does something positive for them and helps make them feel good. Instead of suppressing the real reasons behind why people smoke, let's bring them to the forefront. Use EFT to release feelings at the core of why smokers smoke.
By the way, keep in mind that cigarette smoking may be frowned upon today, yet not long ago smoking was culturally in vogue. In fact, look at most of the old black and white movies and most of the actors and actresses smoked. So did doctors. Check out this video.
If you smoke and really want to stop, EFT can help. EFT practitioner, Aileen Nobles, has an excellent video that really gets at core issues of why someone smokes. Notice how she alternates between tapping on opposites (love smoking and want to quit). She integrates opposites and provides new choices.
Another video you may want to watch is from Magnus. He teaches you the classic EFT method.
The main reason that EFT can be so effective in helping smokers who really want to quit smoking is that EFT doesn't deny the reasons smokers smoke and the "benefits" they get from doing it. EFT releases any negative or unwanted feelings connected to smoking.
Whether it be Japan, or the earthquake in New Zealand, or the ongoing challenges in Haiti, focusing on the negative isn't going to help anyone. There's only so much of watching the network news before it becomes counterproductive. I agree with Nick that unless we process and release our fears, our concerns, our stress, we can't really be of much help and move forward in a positive direction to make a difference.
Nick is offering you two things for you to make that happen. The first is a very special audio from Jessica Ortner which is a short tap-along meditation (like her surrogate tapping one that everyone loves!) to help tap through some of what's going on. The second offering is something more on the practical side. From the next few days, until Friday, March 18th, the Ortners are going to offer their excellent documentary film, The Tapping Solution film, for 50% off.
They were planning on doing this anyway as a post-summit celebration, because many people asked how they could get a copy of the film. This offer makes it a super price for you because the film only costs $15 (at half price). The cool part is that they're going to donate 100% of gross sales until they hit their goal of $10,000 to support the relief efforts in Japan. If the response is good, they'll look to raise more money! The funds will go to the Red Cross, unless they can find an organization that is doing specific trauma relief work, ideally with Tapping.
You can listen to Jessica's audio here:Jessica Ortner: Tapping for Japan
And you can see the trailer for The Tapping Solution film and pick up a copy at 50% off the regular price to support Japan by clicking here:Save 50% on the Film When You Donate
If you were looking to donate funds to the efforts in Japan, now's the time!]]>
Best of all, you can attend the complete event from the comfort of your home or wherever you choose to be. This is an online event, there are no airline tickets or hotels to book., and you may surprised to know that the main event is 100% free. You get to listen to two presentations each day for 10 days, and you have a 24 hour period to listen to the calls so you don't even have to be there at an exact time. Everything is streamed through the web so you don't tie up your phone or have an phone bills to pay.
The only way Nick Ortner and his team are able to offer the Tapping World Summit for free is that they offer an upgrade option for those that want to own the audio to the presentations, the transcripts and the workbook for the Summit at a very reasonable price. That's completely optional. I don't know of any event or product where you can sample it all for free before deciding if you want to own it.
If you want to sign up for this year's Summit event click on the link below. There's also a really cool video on this page so make sure to check it out:Click Here to Register for Tappping World Summit 2011
When you sign up to listen for free, you'll also get three audios that you can immediately listen to or download. The videos are with Dawson Church, EFT Expert Carol Look and Nick Ortner, the host of the event. Each of them talk about EFT and Tapping in different ways. If you decide you want to own the event, you'll have a great EFT tapping reference library that includes, audios, transcripts and the workbooks for each presentation. And depending on which upgrade you choose, you'll also get to have 5 or 10 different bonus audios.
As someone who presented at the first Tapping World Summit, I highly recommend that you register today. It's a wonderful way to stay on the cutting-edge of healing modalities like EFT and tapping.]]>
As Bob Proctor says in the film The Tapping Solution, "People are starting to understand themselves as an energy field. And the fact that they can work with it to get the results they want." And these experts aren't just saying they support EFT, they're saying that they use it on a regular basis and have had positive results with it. To give you a snapshot, a soundbite, a feel for the summit, check out this video from Jack Canfield, co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul books and featured expert in the hit film The Secret where he talks specifically about EFT:View Jack Canfield Video
In the video Jack reveals some really eye opening insights as to why he thinks EFT is so critical to use, how he has used EFT in his own life, and how he recommends you use it to get exactly what you want in life. This video is one of a series of videos being released leading up to the 2011 Tapping World Summit. This online event happens once a year and is not only the biggest event in the EFT community, but also one of the most popular events that happens in the entire personal development world.
Over 100,000 people attended this event online in 2010 and over 81,000 people attended in 2009. And this year… they're expecting over 200,000 people! The Summit is 100% content and the best part is that it's free.
Again, check out Jack Canfield's video.View Jack Canfield Video
I think Jack pretty much sums up how powerful EFT is and what he thinks about it with this great line in the video:
"The only advise I would have for somebody thinking about EFT would be do it. There's nothing to lose. It's so fast. It's such a powerfully quick process."

Students commit day of service to commemorate Katrina anniversary
August 20, 2010
First-year students at Loyola University New Orleans will go "Into the Streets" in commemoration of the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina on Thursday, Aug. 26.
The Class of 2014 will join university faculty and staff for a day of service involving projects within the greater New Orleans community. As an example of continued renewal, students, faculty and staff will volunteer through a number of organizations, including two home construction organizations, Rebuilding Together and St. Bernard Project; a cemetery and medical center cleanup, Operation Nehemiah; and other volunteer opportunities through ARC of New Orleans and New Orleans Recreation Department.
"Into the Streets" has become a tradition for new student orientation as a way for incoming students to observe Loyola's Jesuit ideal of service and bond with future classmates. The day of service aims to bond new students with both the Loyola and New Orleans communities.
Each volunteer will receive lunch and a service day T-shirt and is required to wear closed-toe shoes and appropriate work clothes. After volunteering, participants will break into small groups for an onsite reflection led by student leaders, including Loyola University Community Action Program members and orientation Krewe Leaders.
Students, faculty and staff will meet in the St. Charles Room, located in the Danna Student Center, on Thursday at 8:30 a.m. for a small breakfast, check in and work site assignments. Participants will then gather in the Residential Quad for a short welcome and blessing by Kurt Bindewald, director of University Ministry, before loading onto buses at 9:30 a.m. and embarking to their different service projects.
Faculty and staff are encouraged to join the Class of 2014 and will receive liberal leave with supervisor approval. Those who are interested in volunteering must e-mail University Ministry, firstname.lastname@example.com, with one's name, campus department, contact information and T-shirt size by Monday, August 23, at 5 p.m.
For more information regarding "Into the Streets," contact Bindewald at 504-865-2083 or email@example.com.

The new technology, which is a proprietary, has been developed through a software-only approach and is based on User Datagram Protocol (UDP) that is used in streaming media. Even though UDP is a stateless protocol, Fujitsu's technology has been developed such that it can differentiate between dropped packers and those which haven't managed to reach the intended destination. This differentiation allows for removal of the unnecessary data before retransmission. This forms the first part of the three part technology.
Second part is a control mechanism that measure the available bandwidth in real-time thereby ensuring that the transmission between the sender and the recipient doesn't take up all the available bandwidth. The control mechanism also ensures that data that is transmitted using this technology doesn't overwhelm other TCP communications.
The final component of the technology is a mechanism that allows for conversion of existing TCP traffic to the new UDP based protocol thereby speeding up TCP based applications like for web browsing, virtual desktop and file transfers.
Fujitsu notes that even though there are specific hardware accelerators available to speed up communications they are either too expensive to be installed in low-quality communication environments like wireless networks or too bulky to be installed on a mobile device. Having such a technology implemented through software will allow for installations as a middleware enabling companies world wide to resolve latency and speed issues. This technology can be used as a transmission technology for mobile communications, data transfer between data-centers and high-speed applications involving cloud, virtual desktops, etc.
Fujitsu carried out tests between US and Japan and the results were amazing – a 30 times improvement over TCP communications in data transfer throughput and a reduction in packet delivery latency to a sixth of previous levels.

For me, Sonic the Hedgehog was the game franchise I grew up with. We had all the Sega consoles in my house and I spent far too many hours with the rapid-moving little mammal that I would care to admit. But the thing that I found to be a bit disappointing was how well Sonic made the jump in to the 21st century and 3D gaming. For me personally, Sonic Adventure did it well on the Dreamcast (also on Xbox Live Arcade for anyone who didn't know!!), but after that the games fell well below the sub-par level. Sonic Generations aims to bring back some of the old while trying to improve on the new and bring it together in a hybrid style game that aims to please both the old school fans as well as the newer ones.
The story in Sonic Generations revolves around the evil Dr. Robotnick (aka. Eggman) finding himself a monster that he is using to create holes in time, which results in a younger version of sonic ending up in the current day and the two of them then team up to help out Sonic's friends, restore peace and order, and once again beat the bad guy and save the day. It basically goes without saying that you don't really get into a Sonic game for the storyline, but there are a few little cute things in this one that I did pick up on that I wanted to share, like the fact that the younger version of Sonic doesn't ever talk (because he never did in the old games), and the fact that when you hit the chemical plant zone near the start of the game Tails has a moment where he gets a really bad feeling about the purple water, but isn't sure why (for anyone who doesn't get the reference – Sonic 2 on the mega drive had the original level here, and Tails had a well known reputation for falling to his doom in the bottomless pits of the purple water, so I liked that they put little things like that in for the nostalgic touch with older fans).
To make this joining up of the Sonic's work, the game is essentially split in to two different types of levels – each zone has two acts: Act One will always be for "retro" Sonic, and will be an entirely 2D based level and you will side scroll your way to the end in a blur of motion and colour that will take you back to the days of the old school sonic games in style. Act Two will always be for the "modern" sonic and levels will play much like the action stages from pretty much any game that came after the Dreamcast titles, so will have mixes of 2D and 3D, with most of the 3D parts involving running down long fast paths where you will need to focus on avoiding enemies and moving to the appropriate places to keeping moving without getting hurt. The thing that I really noticed when playing this game though is that there were very few parts of the 3D game that I wanted to hurl my controller at the TV due to the game doing dodgy things like letting me fall through a wall or off a rail for no reason (I more or less refused to by another 3D Sonic game after the first one on the 360 for this reason), which made them much more fun to play and it all felt fairly fluid while still having enough there to keep you challenged.
Visually the game is spot on for what you want in a Sonic game – first and foremost, I found the frame rate to be smooth the whole way, which given the pace of Sonic games is a necessity. I've read some reports of people saying they had trouble with it at times, but I didn't see it. The levels are pretty nice to look at for the most part, and while still maintaining a level of authenticity with their originals they do a good job of bringing them up to scratch for the here and now. The hub level that you use to access the individual levels is also very nicely done and pretty to look at in between the action. Also worth noting when talking about the visuals of this one is that the game supports 3D TV's. I took it for a bit of a spin on mine and the 3D work isn't too bad at all, but the thing that got me was just the sheer speed that everything was moving, it just did my head in to try to play this one with the 3D on!! If you are so inclined and have a 3D TV at your place it is worth checking it out as well.
The game has some decent work from the audio perspective, but it's not mind blowing at all. There is a bit of voice acting in there as you progress the main storyline which is pretty well done, but the background music didn't really strike me as the best. The sound effects were as expected for a Sonic game though, with all the usual moves bringing back their familiar sounds as you jumped, spun and speed through each of the levels. Thankfully you also don't have to listen to Tails too often as well, but there is a part where old Tails and new Tails have a conversation with each other that will just make you wonder why they cast such an annoying voice in that role in the first place!!
The main storyline of this game is very short (I'm pretty sure I did it under 10 hours) but there is a decent amount of replayability in this one if you are one of those people who loves to strive for the high score and all the unlockable items in a game. There are a number of different challenge types associated with each level, some of which you will need to do to progress the main story but all of which can be played again at your leisure. If you were to go back through all of these you could easily double or triple the time you spend with this one, and given that the levels are pretty fun to play I think its safe to say you can get some more millage out of it this way.
All in all I enjoyed this game a lot more than I thought I would. It starts out very strong and brings a few of my favourite levels back within the first couple of hours of play and it got me right in to it. After that though I did feel that the levels did taper off a bit, but were still fun to be able to play through. The boss fights were also a bit disappointing (I don't think I'll ever find one in a Sonic game that was as fun as Sonic Adventure's final boss) but there were a couple of fun moments when taking them down as well. If you have ever enjoyed a Sonic game in your life then this game is probably going to appeal to you, and if this is your first look at Sonic you could certainly do far worse.

Impact player
Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco was steady, and though Jacoby Jones had two of the biggest plays in the game, it was Flacco's ability not to crack during the 49ers' comeback that helped the Ravens hold on vs. the 49ers.
Under the radar
Ravens receiver Anquan Boldin made one clutch catch after another using savvy moves to get free, finishing with six catches for 104 yards. When he wasn't open, it didn't matter because of his strength and size.
Did you notice ...
How little pressure San Francisco defensive end Aldon Smith applied? He finished with 19? sacks this season but was not a factor at all thanks to the Ravens' offensive line. Smith moved around a few times, but it didn't matter.
From the sidelines
You have to admire how Jim Harbaugh and the 49ers came back from a 28-6 deficit with some creative counters and misdirection runs. But clock management hurt them, as did questionable play calls. It cost them a chance to win.
The Ravens did a terrific job defending the zone read inside runs by Frank Gore, though they struggled vs. the pass. Credit coordinator Dean Pees for a good game plan for much of the game. But they got lost at times vs. the pass. The offense kept a good rhythm much of the game.

Manolo Gabbiadini's future is no clearer, although the number of clubs said to be monitoring his situation continues to grow.
On from a year's loan at Bologna, the Under-21 international striker's future is in the balance, due to a co-ownership situation between Juventus and Atalanta.
Speculation is that another year out on loan somewhere is in the offing, but it is becoming increasingly unclear as to where.
On from Borussia Dortmund recently being listed as interested, Fiorentina and Sampdoria are both said to have asked for information on the youngster.
The Corriere dello Sport suggest that Parma are now also looking at making a move, to reinforce their attacking options for next season.
The player has indicated that he will not consider offers until after this summer's European Under-21 Championships in Israel.

In honor of Dead Rising 2 finally being revealed and looking so effing awesome I've decided to bring you guys three special reviews before it launches.

Swollen eyelids are mostly caused by water retention in the eye area. Seek out the causes, symptoms and treatment of swollen eyelid below.
Eye and surrounding areas of eye are very delicate and so a slightest discomfort in that area can be very troublesome. Swollen eyelid or eyelid swelling is one such condition that not only makes it difficult for the person to see, but is also quite irritating. It also makes washing of the face troublesome. Unfortunately, most of the people have to deal with a swollen eyelid at some point in their life. Eyelid swelling is, sometimes, escorted by slight discharge from the corner of the eye. Eyelid swelling can become serious if it is not treated properly and quickly. It causes discomfort, embarrassment, impaired vision and difficulties when cleanser or make-up, touching or rubbing applied.
In most eyelid cases, puffy, tender and red swelling of upper and/or lower eyelid is generally a sign of an infection. Generally, both the eyelids are distended but sometimes only one eyelid can distend. Redness of eyes, discharge of liquid from the corner of the eye, itching sensation, formation of scales on the eyelids, etc. are the indication of swollen eyelids. Painful and non-painful are two types of eyelid swelling. The possible causes of both types of eyelids are as follows:
Causes of a Swollen Eyelid:
For Painful swollen eyelids:
- Conjunctivitis: The protective membrane lining the eyelids and uncovered regions of the eyeball called conjunctiva, get swollen, itchy and red.
- Orbital Cellulitis: It is a rare condition that involves an infection of the tissues surrounding the eyes.
- Chalazion: It grows away from the edge of the eyelid resembling a stye, caused by eye duct blockage developed in the eye's lubricating glands.
- Blepharitis: The inflammation of the eye margin mostly caused by a bacterial infection or a skin disorder.
- Styes: Caused by bacterial infections that occurs in the sweat or oil producing glands at the base of the eyelashes. Also, it can be escorted by pus, swelling, and redness.
- Infections: These can range from bacterial to virus infections, and can be caused by several different things ranging from allergies to chemicals.
For non-painful swollen eyelids:
- Sinuses: Water retention or allergies can cause sinuses to become irritated.
- Contact lenses or Solutions: Dirty lenses or certain types of cleaning solutions can contribute to swollen eyelids.
- Allergies: Known or unknown allergies.
- Gland Blockage: Result of overproduction of fluids within the eye or an infection.
Symptoms of swollen eyelids:
- Redness
- Itchiness
- Inflammation
- Discharge
- Puffiness
- Tenderness
- Fever
- Loss of Eyelashes
- Scale Formation
- Facial Swelling
Treatment of Painful Swollen Eyelid:
People may or may not want to seek medical attention depending on the severity and reason for swollen eyelid. Some people know exactly the cause (generally allergen-based) of the swollenness because they are in tune with their bodies. However, for some people, the swelling arise as a surprise and so treatment options may be unknown.
Home remedies for Painful Swollen Eyelid:
Warmth is the only thing that will help to draw out a sty from the eye. Create a paste with a single clove with adding a just adequate water to get a pasty solution. You can rub this on a flat surface to form a fine paste. Apply the resultant paste on the top of the eyelid just close to where the swelling is take place. When you apply this on eyelid, be very careful that this does not get into the eye as it will then burn very defectively in eye. Some sort of a small particle will be carefully detached by a doctor. Do not try this yourself as it may damage the eye at end. If you can see something in your eye with the naked eye then it is not advisable to remove with hands. You can try some splash of cold water into the eye directly and this should be helpful in getting it out. Consult physician if the inflammation persists for more than a week after trying these things.
Other Treatments for Painful Swollen Eyelid:
First of all, avoid touching, rubbing or staring at the swelling. Avoid staring at the swollen eyelid because it will only lead to touching and rubbing and so stay out of the mirror and avoid the temptation. Also, avoid doing make-up including powders as particles of them can fly through the air and irritate your eyelids even more. Attempt to use cucumbers and a cold cloth twice a day. You can also use gauze pads which are previously soaked in milk to reduce the swelling in and around your eyes. Some Over-the-counter drugs like antihistamines and/or eye drops can also help to reduce pain and swelling.
Your doctor will perhaps prescribe you an antihistamine, special eye drop, or an ointment to treat the swelling (depending on the cause) if you select to seek medical attention. If eyelids are caused by an infection, then your doctor may prescribe you antibiotics.
Tips to reduce swollen eyelids:
- Place chilled and sliced cucumber over your closed eyelids for ten minutes. The high silicon and water content as well as the ascorbic acid and caffeic acid help to decrease water retention, while moisturizing the delicate skin when applied topically.
- Before going to bed at night, always remove all eye makeup to keep the glands in the eyelids from becoming blocked. Change your makeup brands or switching to a mineral-based makeup if you continue to suffer from swollen eyes.
- Drink enough water. When your body becomes dehydrated, it begins to retain water and can cause the skin around the eyes to swell.
- Cut down on your salt intake because excess salt in your diet will cause water retention and can mark as puffiness around your eyes, where the skin is thin and delicate.
- Use a pillow when you sleep because keeping your head elevated above your body dejects fluid from collecting in the eye area at night. Sleep on your back whenever possible.
- Prepare cold tea bags by soaking them in cold water for fifteen minutes and pressing out the excess liquid. Place them on your eyes for ten minutes. Also, you can save cold tea bags in your refrigerator for later use after removing them from your morning cup of tea. Both black and green tea contains caffeine as well as tannic acid which help to remove swelling and water retention. Chamomile tea is particularly recommended of the herbal variety, as of its gentle and calming properties and antioxidants content of that decrease inflammation.
- Immerse a cotton pad in ice water and squeeze out lightly. Place this cotton pad over your closed eyelids for up to ten minutes at a time. The cold will help to constrict your blood vessels of eyes and so decrease swelling.

What's so bad about a little snowflake-like crystal that has the power to help dry, preserve and flavor?
Salt, which is 40% sodium and 60% chloride, is a much maligned spice. Without sodium in our bodies we wouldn't be alive.
Sodium is one of the body's electrolytes. An electrolyte is a substance which can transmit electricity. Many of our body's functions (such as muscle contraction) are controlled through electrical impulses by the movement of electrolytes.
But can we have too much of a good thing?Sodium is responsible for
- Regulation of blood pressure
- Regulation of blood volume
- Functioning of muscles and nerves
- Glucose absorption
Despite its vital role, we need very little sodium, a bit less than 500 mg a day (approx ¼ teaspoon of salt).
The human body is a delicately balanced organism, and usually it is able to maintain the proper amount of sodium by regulating how much is excreted in the urine. But when this balance is disturbed many things can go wrong.
There is agreement in the medical community that if you have hypertension (high blood pressure), excess sodium can make it worse. Excess sodium can increase the volume of fluid in the arteries and veins, making it more difficult for the heart to pump the blood throughout the body.
High Blood Pressure
If high blood pressure is not controlled, it can lead to congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy and heart attack Not only is high blood pressure a problem for the heart, it can also lead to kidney failure. And since people with diabetes are at an increased risk of heart and kidney disease, watching sodium intake is important.
What if you don't have hypertension, should you be concerned?
The evidence here is controversial. However, many studies have shown that even in people without hypertension, reducing sodium can reduce their blood pressure. And there are conditions where consuming large amounts of sodium is necessary, such as sodium-losing kidney diseases
However, for the vast majority of us, reducing our daily sodium intake to 2300 mg can only be helpful.
How Much Sodium Should You Have?
The 2010 U.S. Dietary Guidelines state that for healthy people limiting sodium to 2300 mg a day is sufficient to reduce risk.
For people with chronic diseases, a lower goal of 1500 mg a day is needed.
However, trying to keep sodium intake under 1500 mg in our culture is very difficult. In order to do so, you would have to make most of your meals at home from scratch. Therefore, the Joslin Guidelines suggest aiming for less than 2300 mg a day.
Where's the Sodium? It's Hiding!
Interestingly, most of the sodium we eat comes not from our salt shaker or what we add at the table. Processed foods provide about ¾ of the sodium people consume: think pizza, chips, hot dogs, canned soups–even condiments add up quickly.
How Can You Eat Less and Still Enjoy Your Food?
- Choose more fresh, unprocessed foods.
- Shop the perimeter of the supermarket.
- Limit the number of restaurant and take-out meals you have.
- Limit the amount of salt you add at table and in cooking to no more than ¼ teaspoon a day.
- Choose unsalted or low sodium, soups, cheese, snack foods and condiments.
- Eat more fruits and vegetables; they contain potassium, which helps control the damage done by too much sodium.
- Use herbs and spices to season your foods instead of salt.
If you're interested in an organized way to reduce your sodium intake, look into following the DASH diet–Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. Information on the DASH diet can be found at http://dashdiet.org/
Or see a registered dietitian who is a CDE (Certified Diabetes Educator) to help you plan a heart-healthy, diabetes-friendly meal plan.

Fast Food Gives Way to Gourmet at 6th and Grand
Carl's Jr. at 6th and Grand will be closing on Friday and will be the future home of a more upscale bar/restaurant.
DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES — Today's patrons at Carl's Jr. on 6th and Grand may not know it yet, but they are some of the last customers that this location will serve after over 20 years of business.
"In the late 80s, [Carl's Jr.] did a lot better," says Eric Schomof of Pacific Investments, owner of the Milano Lofts. "But Downtown has been changing-- the demographic has changed a lot."
Replacing the burgers and fries will be Industriel, restaurateur Armen Hakobyan and Ari Babaei's second eatery. The duo opened Old Pasadena's Green Street Tavern in 2008. Renderings posted on Flo Design Studio's Facebook show that Industriel will be a "farmhouse mod abstraction and an unrivaled mix of art and industrial elements."
While Industriel's menu is not yet available, Green Street Tavern features "the finest California Comfort Food with a European influence" and has 218 reviews as well as a four star rating on Yelp.
Hakobyan and Babaei are new to Downtown but are "Downtown believers," said Schomof.
Schomof is a supporter of the upscale restaurants becoming an integral part of Downtown's revival. "The bad pockets are beginning to connect with good areas," he said. "There are a lot of beautiful areas--it's just the one or two blocks in between that are a problem."
For most of Carl's Jr's 20 years on 6th and Grand, L.A.'s homeless have panhandled for change outside of the restaurant. "They say they want money to buy a burger when in reality they will do something else with it," Schomof said.
Both Schomof and the owners of the business came to an agreement that the restaurant closure was the best solution to the Downtown revitalization effort.
Schomof notes that the process of bringing in new businesses is a labor of love. "We are always working with owners and restaurants, doing what we can to get these businesses off the ground."

At yesterday's NYC premiere of Oogieloves, there was one character from the movie that unexpectedly caught my eye. Dotty Rounder, whose name is self explanatory, has a major crush on polka-dots and all things round. She dresses in them, decorates her house with them, and even paints them on her cheeks. I was inspired by her adoration for a specific trend, and for keeping true to herself. It's very important to find what you gravitate towards, and rock it with confidence. Everyone has different style and that's what makes the streets of NYC oh-so-lovely. Big shout-out to Dotty, who will attribute a love for fashion in all the children who see the movie! xxSharona

Civil War re-enactment occupation is quite an undertaking
LANCASTER, Pa. (AP) – Re-enactor Richard Ryder has a macabre interest in the Civil War.
It's one that allows him to recite facts such as, "President Abraham Lincoln's body was embalmed multiple times as it was taken to various cities for public mourning after he was assassinated."
Or to boast about having several authentic coffins, autopsy tools and an embalming table, all from the late 1800s.
"I've got the world's most understanding wife," said Ryder, a self-employed carpenter who lives in Mount Joy, Pa.
When the Manheim Township Historical Society decided it wanted to do something unusual to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, Ryder immediately came to the mind of John Snoke, the society's vice president.
"He's not your typical re-enactor," Snoke said.
And so, dressed in period clothing and surrounded by period artifacts – not to mention a mannequin resting in a pine coffin with coins covering its eyes – Ryder spoke to a small crowd Saturday at Manheim Township Library about embalming and undertaking during the Civil War.
"The modern period for embalming in the United States started in 1861, which, obviously, was the start of our Civil War," he said. "The embalming was experimental at best when it first started, because there were no rules, regulations or guidelines."
Most soldiers killed in Civil War battles were simply buried in mass graves.
Embalming became popular among wealthy soldiers and officers, as their families sought to have the bodies of their deceased loved ones delivered home from the battlefields for burial.
"In order to do that, you had to preserve them in some fashion," Ryder said.
Embalmers and undertakers traveled with the Union Army from battle to battle, so they were on hand as soldiers were killed.
The equipment needed for embalming was not readily available in the South, Ryder said. As a result, Confederate armies generally didn't employ the practice.
It cost soldiers $25 and officers $50 to have their bodies embalmed. (Soldiers typically earned $13 a month in the army.)
They paid for the service in advance and had coupons sewn into their clothing so undertakers sifting through dead bodies would know which ones to pull out.
Undertakers collected the bodies of soldiers and prepared them for burial, while embalming surgeons exchanged a body's natural fluids with a chemical stew.
Embalmers made their own preservation concoctions, which typically were cocktails of "arsenic, zinc chloride, mercury, salts of aluminum, sugar of lead and creosote," Ryder said.
"There was a lot of trial and error before they found out what worked best," Ryder said.
On average, it took about three gallons of embalming fluid to treat a full-grown man.
Ryder sets up his embalming and undertaking camp at Civil War reenactments all over the East Coast.
He started Civil War re-enacting – like most others involved in the hobby – as a soldier with the 50th Pennsylvania Regiment two decades ago.
But the married father of two soon discovered a troublesome rule about re-enacting.
"Women are not allowed in Union camps," he said. "They could come in and visit, but they couldn't stay."
So if he wanted to go to reenactment camps with his wife, son and daughter, he was going to have to find a "civilian impression."
As a builder, the cabinet-making aspect of undertaking suited Ryder.
"And I have a couple friends who are funeral directors," he said.
Ryder began researching the role and gathering authentic artifacts to support the position.
Luck, he admits, has been on his side. Like the day he was walking the aisles at Renninger's Antique Market in Adamstown, Pa., and spotted a wooden and wicker table-like piece of furniture, that was hinged in the middle so the upper half, which had a protruding headrest, could be raised and lowered.
It was advertised for sale as an "antique recliner."
Technically, the furniture did function like a recliner. But no living person would have sat on it.
"I knew right away it was an embalming table from the late 1800s," Ryder said. "The couple who sold it to me had no idea that's what it was until I told them."
He has a complete embalming surgeon's kit that someone sold to a friend of Ryder's who owns an antique shop in Mount Joy.
"My friend called me one day and said, 'You have to come see what just walked into my store,'" Ryder said. "It was pretty amazing, because this stuff is hard to find."
Ryder also owns four coffins from the Civil War era, including one lined with zinc, like the coffin Gen. John F. Reynolds arrived home to Lancaster in, after he was shot and killed July 1, 1863, on the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg.
"The only rule my wife has is I can't keep the coffins in the house," Ryder said. "If that's all I have to do to enjoy this hobby, I can live with that."

It's going to be hard to "sell" social media if you can't "define it."
All you need to break into a cold sweat is for one prospective client asking for you for a definition of social media. After you babble on for some 20 minutes or more trying your best to provide an answer, you'll lose all credibility. So be prepared.
I frequently conduct social media workshops to help agencies in understanding social media, how it will affect them and how they can embrace it.
One of the first questions usually asked is, "What is social media?"
If you conduct a quick search for a definition of social media you are going to find a wide variety of them. You need to be ready with a succinct definition.
Hopefully you will find this to be a good start.
"Social media describes the consumer controlled online revolution, a fusion of sociology and communications technology, people use to share personal opinions, experiences and insights with others."
A compilation from Wikipedia , Brian Solis and me.
Richard Scroble states, "The best way to understand new media is to compare it to what has come before." He compares the attributes of traditional and new media to better define social. Read more of Richard's article, "What is social media?"
Feel free to add your suggestions to improve upon what I've shared or offer your own own definition.

Study supports Rollover Pass closure
Updated 11:59 am, Wednesday, October 9, 2013
Rollover Pass is moving closer to closure.
Galveston County has begun the process of purchasing the property, owned by the Gulf Coast Rod Reel and Gun Club, and a study commissioned by the state indicated no significant environmental impact would result from closing the pass, according to the Texas General Land Office.
The study, conducted by Florida-based Taylor Engineering, indicated salt water that flows into Galveston Bay via Rollover harms commercial oyster beds and "alters the fragile estuarine system that serves as one of the most important cradles of the Gulf's many creatures," according to a news release from the Texas General Land Office.
A number of studies over the years have shown that the pass contributes to beach erosion on Bolivar.
In addition, sand swept into the pass ends up in the Intracoastal Canal, from which it must be dredged at taxpayer expense.
Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson disputed some community members' opinions that jetties, underwater baffles or an artificial reef could solve the problems.
The 81st Legislature approved $5.85 million to close the pass in 2008.
In addition, Patterson has pledged to build a park and fishing pier at the site, to replace the lost fishing opportunities.
The Gulf Coast Rod, Reel & Gun Club has filed a federal lawsuit against closure of the pass.

I wish to thank you from the depths of my heart for this DVD! I cried with shame at the treatment we have given these and ALL non-humans.

I am so glad to be a part of this journey…terrified…relieved…full of dreams… The new is never easy. But thank goodness i'm not on my own. And one day I will dance with my horses.

I was speechless! I cried for the longest time. Sometimes it's hard to look at what you're doing with your horses and be totally honest. It's a journey of a lifetime. It challenges us to be bettter people. Horses keep up honest when we listen.

The results of Oregon's 2014 primary election are in, with some landslide victories, like Republican Senate primary candidate Monica Wehby and Multnomah County Chair Deborah Kafoury. Portland voters roundly rejected the measure that would have created an independent water and sewer district not subject to city control. Other measures passed handily, like the bans on GMO crops in Jackson and Josephine counties.
The results of other primary races were widely anticipated and now confirmed — like the Oregon gubernatorial race which pits Republican Dennis Richardson against incumbent Democrat John Kitzhaber. As expected, Democratic incumbents in a variety of local offices prevailed. And some Republican upsets have the potential to shake up the balance of power in Salem.
We'll sort through these and other election results and look ahead to the general election in November.
What races were you following most closely?

Composed and aggressive wins the day at Emirates Stadium
Arsene Wenger is cautious even as he sees the side make firm statement
Arsenal's Santi Cazorla scores a goal against Liverpool during their English Premier League soccer match
Maybe Arsenal can win the Premier League. The notion would have met with derision after the opening-day home defeat by Aston Villa and the vehement backlash that rocked the club. But on Saturday, they were composed, aggressive and incisive, deservedly beating an in-form Liverpool to establish a five-point lead at the top of the table.
"After the Aston Villa game, if I had told you we would have been five points clear in November, I would have had to run away because you would have killed me," Wenger said. The pundits still say no. Arsenal have yet to face either Manchester club or Chelsea in the league, they say.
The last time they sat five points clear at the top was in February 2008. Then came the infamous 2-2 draw at Birmingham City, which was scarred by Eduardo's leg break and William Gallas's meltdown, and the club lost their bearings. It was not an isolated wobble.
Recent history says Arsenal will falter. And yet momentum is growing, along with dressing-room belief. The league is tantalisingly open. "We have more belief [this season] and we are starting to create a bit of fear in the opposition, and that gives us a better chance to win the games," Mikel Arteta said.
"In the last few seasons," Bacary Sagna said, "we were responding technically but when we had to go to tough, physical games, sometimes we were not responding. Now we are more confident with the arrival of [Mesut] Ozil and [Mathieu] Flamini." Flamini did not play against Liverpool because of a groin injury but it did not matter. Arteta was superb in front of the back four while Aaron Ramsey drove forward, prompted and killed the game with his long-range pot-shot.
Brendan Rodgers started with three central defenders and two wing-backs and he saw Arsenal take charge upon Santi Cazorla's goal. The visitors struggled to suppress Arsenal's runners from midfield. Rodgers switched to 4-2-3-1 in the second half, with the substitute Philippe Coutinho looking sharp on his return from injury. Luis Suarez bristled with menace throughout. But the frustration for Liverpool went deeper than the referee Martin Atkinson's decision to pull back Suarez's quick free-kick on 26 minutes, which eventually led to Jordan Henderson scoring. They did not do enough offensively until after Ramsey's goal while Steven Gerrard could not exert his influence.
Liverpool intend to respond at home to Fulham on Saturday. Arsenal has away games against Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday and Manchester United on Sunday. Dortmund hammered Stuttgart 6-1 on Friday. "I wanted something more testing for them," Wenger said. "Unfortunately they had a good friendly." Arsenal's defining period has begun well.

French soldier killed in Somalia
Raid to free hostage held for three years results in deaths of 17 Islamists
Published 8:57 pm, Saturday, January 12, 2013
MOGADISHU, Somalia — A raid to free a French intelligence agent held captive in Somalia for three years went horribly wrong, leaving 17 Islamists and at least one French commando dead in a mud-caked farming town deep in militant territory.
In the chaotic aftermath of the firefight, the hostage's fate was unclear Saturday. The Islamists denied French claims that he was killed and said they had a new prisoner — a wounded French soldier.
The botched rescue in East Africa came the same day French airstrikes in the West African nation of Mali targeted resurgent rebel Islamists. French officials said the two operations were unrelated, but stepped up domestic counter-terror measures to protect public places and transportation networks.
Confusion surrounded early reports of the failed rescue of the French agent, known by his code-name Denis Allex. He was captured in Somalia on July 14, 2009 — Bastille Day — and last seen in a video released in October pleading for the French president to help him.
But it was clear that a dangerous raid the French defense minister said was planned with the utmost of care had encountered serious problems from the moment the helicopters swooped in.
"This operation could not be achieved despite the sacrifice of two of our soldiers and doubtless the murder of our hostage," French President Francois Hollande said in a grim nationwide broadcast. "But this operation confirms the determination of France not to give into blackmail by terrorists."
French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said Allex was killed by his captors and that one French soldier was missing and one dead, along with 17 Islamists. The Defense Ministry earlier said two commandos were killed in the fighting in the Somali town of Bulomarer, a small farming community under Islamist control for four years.
"It was an extremely dangerous mission," Le Drian said. "Everything indicates Denis Allex was killed."
The militant Islamist group al-Shabab, which held Allex for more than three years, said Saturday that he remained alive and in its custody, as was a new captive — a French commando wounded in fighting. There are also seven French hostages in Mali.
In October, Hollande pledged to "use all means" to contact "anyone who can help free our hostages."

April 17th, 2014
The peak home buying season started in March, and it was off to a slow start.
DataQuick analyst Andrew LePage said there are a variety of reasons for this year's slow start.
"The inventory of homes for sale remains thin in many markets. Investor purchases have fallen. The jump in home prices and mortgage rates over the past year has priced some people out of the market, while other would-be buyers struggle with credit hurdles," LePage said in a statement, "Also, some potential move-up buyers are holding back while they weigh whether to abandon a phenomenally low interest rate on their current mortgage in order to buy a different home."
But, other industry experts are predicting a brisk recovery.
Zillow published an article on Forbes.com about 4 easy-to-follow tips for buying a home this Spring that you may find useful. And has some of the same advice we've been recommending for some time.
Will you be looking at open houses this weekend?

Yes, all the time. I hate phones. But it mostly stems from having auditory processing disorder. Hard for me to understand what people are saying. :
Omg, yes, this so much. I was talking to my best friend this morning, and normally we just text, but she wanted to talk specifically. I was pacing around my room for an hour straight, I'm not kidding. I just couldn't stand still or sit down.
Funny, cause I didn't even need to judge the pauses when we were talking, cause there were none. She'd just taken a bit of meth, so she was off her head, talking really fast and erratically. I could barely get a word in for an hour xD
I feel anxious talking to anyone anyway.
It use to annoy me esp. if I didn't know what to reply/respond,react etc…But then I became the one they want to get away from, I ask the Q's…I got smarter and better at it. Also I get nervous more so when it's a close encounter lol—'in person' still do so I was more comfortable on phones. Now I hate both & come here…it's both---no one in my space, I am in control & I can hang up w/out being rude. Hah aha ha….you see, they are just simple beings just like you and I….u don't have to answer you know? Let it ring! Ur freedom…no book or rules on answering that dam apparatus, or having to eat firstname.lastname@example.com.
No....i just hate voice mail....i never listen to them....
Yeah, I feel I can collect my thoughts better when I'm not live on the phone with another.
No, I love talking on the phone. If I'm feeling anxious or stressed, it reduces it.
Almost. Once in a while I'll relax but for the most part it's horrible lol.
I have been told to calm down all the time

There is more to localization than the actual translation. Whether or not you use Net-Translators for your content translation, you can still benefit from our professional multilingual QA labs.
Our service offerings allow software publishers and localization houses to achieve excellence in over 30 languages. The multilingual services that we offer focus on all areas affected by localization, including software functionality, documentation and help files, window/UI design, content messages, and websites.
Multilingual testing – What it includes
Our testing services include coverage of each category of problem types that can occur:
- Linguistic testing – Typographical, grammatical, cultural-appropriateness, and regional settings.
- Cosmetic testing – Text truncation, line breaking, proper encoding for screen display, accent character spacing, and more.
- Functional testing – Compatibility with localized code pages, text input acceptance, menu functionality, string manipulation, etc.
The need for language-specific quality assurance
Multilingual software brings with it a variety of quality concerns that need to be addressed. If your software has been translated into Spanish, German, Chinese, Hungarian, and Arabic, you must assure that it is working properly.
- If my name is Günter, will the ü be accepted as an input character?
- Do the shortcut keys work as expected in Chinese?
- Does your software make sense to a user in Arabic? In English, the label is on the left, the input field on the right. In Arabic, they should be reversed, and the tab order should be from right to left.
- Are help files and text in graphics translated correctly? Do links and cross-references still point to the correct places?
- Do title bars still fit within their window borders?
- Are labels still aligned and placed correctly with respect to their input fields?
- Does the software work correctly with local currency?
- Are there duplicate hot keys in a single dialog box?
The sheer volume of potential problems that can occur in localized software calls for professional multilingual QA that is experienced in finding these errors.
Our multilingual localization testing center
We stand out in our commitment to performing all testing under one roof. Localization testing requires professional knowledge and careful control of the IT environment: clean machines, workstations, and servers with local operating systems, local default code pages, and regional settings within a controlled system configuration are only a few reasons. Moreover, the knowledge and experience gathered from testing one localized version can provide ready solutions that may be needed in other versions and locales, as well. A single project manager manages the QA of all language versions and can coordinate knowledge sharing as needed.
Contact us today to take the next step in making your multilingual software great!

We're trying to catch up with our Oscar watching before February's results are in. Million Dollar Baby is the 3rd of the 5 nominees that we've seen (along with the Aviator and Finding Neverland, both of which I'll try and get back to blogging later).
I have mixed feelings about this movie, although overall I think it's good. The performances were strong. Hilary Swank, particularly, is totally believable and the lank-hair-look suits her. Clint Eastwood starts out as…Clint, but really does soften up into something unexpected. Morgan Freeman is a little disappointing of only that he does what he does so solidly, bit repetitively. A little too "Shawshank" in this.
The story's slow but believable, and just when you think it might get too predictable at the end, it gets much more challenging to watch. 8/10
