On Thursday, the Federal Housing Administration announced it would no longer insure new mortgages on properties that include Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) assessments. This announcement is a victory for credit union mortgage lenders. PACE loans offer finance financing for energy efficiency upgrades but can cause serious problems because they are recorded as property tax assessments, superior to an underlying mortgage, thus encumbering a credit union's interest in a property in case of default.
Credit Union National Association has been engaged with the U.S. House and Senate on legislation that would require PACE lenders to make important consumer disclosures to potential borrowers about the impact these loans could have on the marketability of their homes. The Senate Regulatory Relief bill, S.2155, that passed through Committee earlier this week, would subject PACE loans to similar consumer disclosures as home mortgages.
CUNA recently became aware that a pro-PACE resolution will be considered at the Council of State Government's meeting in Las Vegas this week. The resolution includes both consumer protections and the repayment of PACE loans via property tax bills. While appreciative of the consumer protections, CUNA strongly opposes repayment via property taxes and will likely join other national financial trades on a letter of opposition to the resolution.

This is is a two part webinar with events Thursday February 9 and Friday February 10, 2017 at 1:00 pm CT.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) finalized their regulations regarding prepaid cards in October, 2016. Beginning in October, 2017 prepaid debit card users will have strong federal consumer protections. The new rule requires financial institutions to limit consumers' losses when funds are stolen or cards are lost, investigate and resolve errors, and give consumers free and easy access to account information. The Bureau also finalized new "Know Before You Owe" disclosures for prepaid accounts to give consumers clear, upfront information about fees and other key details. Be sure that you understand the regulation and how it may apply as you prepare for the October implementation. Join us as we help you navigate the key components of the new 1,689 page rule in this two-part series.
Part One: Products Impacted by New Requirements
The first part of this series will review the products covered by the regulation and the criteria used to determine coverage. Also very important to understand is the information that must be disclosed to the consumer – at time of purchase whether in a store, branch office, on-line or via phone and finally we will discuss Reg E protection requirements.
Part Two: Regulation Z and More
On the second day, we will present the transaction history requirements and provide a deep-dive into the requirements for over-draft coverage and the conditions under which Reg Z requirements must be followed. The webinar will finish with implementation effective date requirements.

Depth Therapy
Depth therapy is a therapeutic practice based on the work of Swiss psychiatrist Carl G. Jung. Depth therapy is founded on the belief that most mental health issues are caused by unconscious motivations and that revealing and exploring these motivations is the key to healing. Although there are many different approaches that fall under the umbrella of depth therapy, one unifying goal of therapists who specialize in depth therapy is to integrate the unconscious mind with the conscious.
Local Experts in Depth Therapy
Depth therapy refers to an approach to the human psyche that acknowledges the activity of the unconscious in life. 'Unconscious' is simply a scientific term that designates something as unknown. Curiosity about the unknown dynamics and structures upon which our consciousness is based is necessary for the therapist as well as for the patient of depth-oriented therapy.
I have a MA in Counseling Psychology with and emphasis on Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, CA.
My masters degree from Pacifica Graduate Institute is in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis on Depth Psychotherapy and I continually seek out opportunities to continue my education in this specialty. Most importantly, I strive to bring depth work into my own life through my own dreamwork, painting, personal therapy, and reading and study.
The field of Depth Psychology we know today came from the original works of Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud. Both Jung and Freud sought awareness and examination of all things unconscious. A Depth approach looks across a wide field of knowing, from direct personal experience to culture and human existence as a whole. Image, dream, and metaphor are important components in uncovering our true selves.
I earned my Master\'s degree from Pacifica Graduate Institute, a program that specializes in Depth Psychology. Depth Therapy emphasizes that we are much more than brains on bodies, and that we do not need \'fixing\'. Rather, you and I will explore of the deepest, creative aspects of yourself for the purpose of building self-knowledge, confidence, and resolve.
Depth Therapy entails deeply exploring who we are, the influences that have helped mold us, what has meaning and value in our lives, understanding our unique story and how it influences the way we live our lives today.
Depth is the theoretical frame work of my graduate program. It seeks to integrate the unconscious and the conscious materiel. My personal approach is informed by Joseph Campbell and C.G. Jung.
Depth therapy involves connecting present with the past, connecting thoughts and feelings and exploring symbolic language of the unconscious. It involves exploring unconscious motivations and reasons behind your actions and behaviors, getting to the root of the issue and healing it.
Jung believed that everything we need to guide us through life and individuate is within us. This inner symbolic wisdom is what Jung named the Self. The Self is constantly transmitting important messages to us, but because the language is symbolic, we miss much of it. I help people understand the symbols via Active Imagination and dream interpretation.
Jungian analysis and depth therapy are closely allied theory fields and they both recognize and use the existence of the unconscious in their processes.
WHAT IS THE IMAGINATION? It is the passageway into the archetypal and fairytale kingdom, where animated entities exist. Imagination is not the kingdom itself, it is the path to get inside. By using mindfulness techniques and embodying archetypal patterns, Imagination (Depth) Therapies help people explore their higher purpose.
Depth psychology acknowledges that often times we are unaware of why we do what we do. Instead of merely addressing symptoms, depth therapy seeks to get the the root of problems by addressing the underlying dynamics that cause them. I will soon have a Ph.D. in Depth Psychology and my training has been explicitly depth oriented since I began my graduate training.
An emphasis of my training while in graduate school was Depth Therapy, whose approaches include working with dreams and metaphor to bring solution to life's problems, and meaning to its mystery.
Within our complex personalities, there may be less conscious aspects motivating ways we think, and how we make decisions. These less conscious aspects can perhaps be followed and learned from over the course of therapy.
I have years of experience utilizing depth therapy to help people address complex and longstanding problems to make positive changes. Depth therapy is a non-pathologizing way to focus our attention, curiosity and active imagination to make meaning of themes, dreams, and in-the-moment associations we have to early life experiences as fundamental aspects influencing us here and now.
I am a diploma candidate at the CG Jung Institute in Zurich, a training program in analytical psychology requiring extensive personal analysis and supervision of clinical work by seasoned analysts.
While I am experienced in, and often use a wide range of therapeutic approaches, I am heart and soul a depth psychotherapist. I was trained at one of the only depth psychology schools in the country, Pacifica Graduate Institute. For those unfamiliar with depth psychology, I describe it as an approach that takes a person\'s unconscious into account just as much as the presenting issues.
Through the use of expressive arts I assist clients in understanding the metaphors and symbols present for them. This way of working assists individuals in connecting their unconscious thoughts, desires, and blocks into their conscious mind so they gain a better understanding of who they are. This integration aids individuals in healing
We will listen to your own inner wisdom through your personal stories, dreams and archetypal images to enhance your ability to be authentic and more passionately engaged with your life.
Depth Therapy is the theoretical framework of my graduate program, therefore, I feel knowledgeable and skilled in this area. My training included ways to integrate the unconscious material in our psyche, which is intrinsic to personal healing.
I am a certified Jungian analyst. Jungian analysis is a psychotherapeutic method that helps you understand 'how you got here', what patterns and themes repeat themselves hindering you from developing in new ways, and draws on your own unique inner resources and values to move forward in life.
A Depth psychological approach means, in part, that the soul (psyche) of the individual is expected to BE a major player in our work together. This is in addition to the rational mind or \'ego\', and \'the soul\'s voice\' is going to be expressing its greatest desire for this individual. We must listen to subtle, unconscious communications as we invite in the healing impulse of psyche.
Depth psychotherapy approaches that focus on helping the client access and better understand thoughts, feelings and images that are not fully conscious.
Depth therapy is about meaning -- having experiences in the session hour that rewire memories and a personal narrative in ways that can change the trajectory of a life.
Depth therapy offers a compassionate, non-pathologizing orientation to the struggles of being human, and takes into consideration the generative and helpful aspects of the unconscious as it continually moves us towards greater expansion, healing, and development. Pioneers in this field include Carl Jung, James Hillman, and Marion Woodman, among others.

Critic Reviews for Call of Heroes
All Critics (6) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (0)
Sergio Leone's specter looms large over Call of Heroes, a film oozing nihilist violence on par with the bloodiest scenes in any of those spaghetti Westerns that have long informed Hong Kong's wuxia cinema.
Call of Heroes is a thoroughly modern and satisfyingly self-aware action film; both classic, old fashioned, and authentically exciting.
This is real old school action drama, the kind of Hong Kong movie that wears its heart on its sleeve and tends to wave it around with utterly sincere speeches about justice and duty.
Chan has delivered a film that is consistently entertaining and will leave Western audiences, at least, looking forward to seeing what he does next.
Benny Chan's best film in years - a Chinese wuxia epic with obvious echoes to classic spaghetti Western films and Akira Kurosawa's samurai dramas like Seven Samurai and Yojimbo.
When so many period Chinese blockbusters are all about fancy -- and more often than not, unconvincing -- special effects, it is refreshing to watch one that uses good, old-fashioned action stunts.

Spectrum - Soul Kiss (Gide Divine) 1992
Formed in the ashes of Spacemen 3 and after Sonic Boom's Spectrum album, Spectrum were a functioning band for about a year or two before, Sonic Boom used the "Spectrum" moniker for his own synthesized experiments. However, this incarnation of the band, with Richard Formby of the Jazz Butcher on guitar, rocked. And, luckily I got to see them play Maxwells in Hoboken, New Jersey right after the album's U.S. release.

Simply put, if you want to gain weight, lift weights!
Why lifting weights gains weights
When we lift weights it damages the cells in our body and body starts to recover for the loss and in the process it starts building more cells to prepare for any future damage.
Body weight Vs equipment
It is always better to get the equipment. Though if you cannot get it for some reason you can still do body weight exercises like Push-ups etc
Mistakes to avoid
- Do not train everyday (body needs time to recover)
- Low weights with high number of repetitions will get you results slowly.
- Do not spend much time in the gym (the workout should be short and intense)
- Do not start lifting weights without warm ups.
Resistance training tips (things that you must do!)
- lift weight slowly. Lesser the speed better the results.
- Low repetitions with high weights (pushes the body's limits to increase its capacity)
- it does not matter how many times you lift the weight. But how technically sound you lift the weight.
- Keep a gap of minimum 72 hours between exercises. (So that body gets enough time to recover)
- get proper nutrition in this recovery time to aid healing process.
Resistance training is the single most important thing required to gain weight. It is very easy to gain weight with proper technique described here.

I started working in glass ten years ago and am besotted by the glorious colours of Bullseye glass. My work takes the form of layered abstract pieces. I am the Membership Secretary of the Oxfordshire Craft Guild and exhibit mainly with them.
I work both as a part time glass artist and a physiotherapist. In my work I am drawn to the use of colour and abstract design, allowing the piece to be open to individual interpretation. I work mainly with glass fusing and stained glass.
A kiln glass worker with 15 years experience. Specialises in contemporary, sometimes abstract work. Produces art pieces, panels, coasters, dishes and jewellery.
I'm a retired science teacher who makes bowls, dishes, platters and jewellery using Bullseye Glass. These are offered for sale through my website peteraustinfusedglass.com. It's the flexible and malleable nature of glass, coming from its amorphous nature, that most appeals to me. Working with it is akin to alchemy and trying to understanding its nature satisfies my scientific bent.
I make fused glass panels for windows, screens and lighting. I like to use texture as well as colour, so the pieces are continually changing with the viewpoint, the time of day, the seasons and the weather. I am generally inspired by nature, but am happy to be pushed out of my comfort zone too.

The personal service or delivery of claim forms, statutory demands, bankruptcy petitions, divorce papers and the like are often carried out by the 2,000 or so Process Servers in the UK on a daily basis.
Our MD has 30 years process serving experience working throughout the UK
The arrival of mandatory business licensing in the UK for Private Investigators is likely in the next year or two. The licence will reinforce the already high standards that we and other investigators and process servers in the private sector already adhere to…
Our Private Investigator Training School offers a process server E-learn course.
We run regular classroom based training in Process Serving and assist the Association of British Investigators train novice process servers to an acceptable level.
We support the Legal Services throughout the UK and operate a network of private investigators / process servers to effect serves.
The secret to good process serving is courtesy and professionalism. The heavy handed approach is not required. We are often thanked for keeping the matter confidential or for being tactful when approaching a person's residence.
The people that you serve are infinitely varied and will frustrate and enthuse you in equal measures…you can might meet a minor celebrity one day and a down and out the next.
The process servers lot is not nine to five as work during the evenings and weekends is part of the job. As most people are out working during the working week, the best times to effect serves are early Saturday or Sunday mornings (Although try to avoid being too early…..it is counterproductive) and during the evenings.
When you serve documents you need to be aware of GDPR considerations and Human Rights – the information you hold in the papers is very much, "Personal Information". Exercise caution when speaking to a party that has not been identified as being the person you are serving….everyone has the right to have respect for their private and family life, home and correspondence – just make sure you bear this in mind….
When you choose a process server you need to check that they are capable of producing error free Statements of Service or Affidavits of Service. These documents prove to the Court that the document has been served in the prescribed manner.
In summary, we recommend that you select a process serving firm that also operates as Private Investigators. Try to ensure that they belong to an appropriate Trade Association and have full Professional Indemnity Insurances. They should be established and accredited, perhaps with a qualification in professional investigations in the private sector.

Season four of "Orange Is The New Black" dropped June 17 on Netflix, exactly one year after the release of season three. For those who watched last season, it ended on a happier note, with the women of Litchfield prison running through a large hole in a fence to a lake. Season four started where it left off in the previous season. The first episode recanted what had been happening, but quickly introduced us to the new storyline that would play out this season. As with the other seasons, this season had a total of 13 episodes. The tone of this season was significantly darker than other seasons.
The same humor that was present in the other seasons was there. Quite a few laughs were to be had this season, but compared to the other seasons, they really focused on inequality and other heavy topics, such as discrimination against LGBT people and people of color, mental illness, and overpopulation on jails and prisons. The writers seemed adamant on getting under the skin of their audience and making them think.
Another difference from the previous seasons is the focus on more minor characters. In previous episodes, the characters of Piper (Taylor Schilling) and Alex (Laura Prepon) were heavily focused on, along with a few of the other main characters. One character in particular that was eye-catching and different and was introduced back in season two, Lolly Whitehill (Lori Petty), received a lot more screen time, and even a full backstory as to how she ended up in Litchfield. Unlike the other seasons, which focused heavily on intellectual disabilities, the writers decided to focus on mental illness. Lolly suffers with what is believed to be schizophrenia. Sam Healy (Michael J. Harney) comes in with more of a past as well, befriending Lolly due to the fact his mother suffered from schizophrenia and believing he can help her.
New characters are also introduced this season with the incoming of the new inmates, but the writers stick to focusing on characters we are already familiar with, choosing to make the new inmates extras within the season with only a few new people receiving some screen time. Two of the main characters, Alex and Piper, still get much screen time, with Alex specifically getting a new storyline that adds intensity and anxiety to the overall storyline.
With all of the tropes this season, many past viewers decided to bow out and skip this season due to spoilers that were posted on the internet. Having decided to watch it and avoid spoilers, it hit hard when the season came to a close. I learned quickly of the spoilers and was left in shock and speechless by what happened. Viewers who refuse to watch the new season claim it is because the writers went too far and that they were done with the show. It is completely up to the individual if they wish to watch or forgo.
There are many reasons to take the time to watch this season of "Orange Is The New Black," as the subjects touched upon are something we deal with in everyday life. The show makes you think and showcases many different important issues that not everyone may be aware of. Despite this season taking a dark turn, there are many great reasons to catch it or add it to your watch list for future viewing. It is not an easy watch, but it is worth the time if you can handle difficult themes. The show can be streamed via Netflix and is available now

Hey guys, just mostly finished this illustration. Feel free to crit, comment or whatever.
It illustrates which sub-types of Cholinergic receptors are used by various organs.
The figure, spinal chord, and brain was rendered in maya 2008 with a ramp shader that becomes transparent as the surface comes perpendicular to the camera; gives it a nice ghosty look. I didn't model the male figure or the spinal chord; bought them awhile ago from turbosquid.com. I did, however, model the brain and brainstem.
All the other organs I painted in photoshop with an intuos 2 wacom tablet.
All the labeling was done in Illustrator.
Stay tuned for 3d animations of landscape stuff composited with makeshift green screen footage!
-peace out- Alex

Current news headlines are filled with examples of Islamic-inspired violence and terror, with CNN recently reporting that the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) killed 270 in an attack in central Syria. Moreover, ISIS is also moving through Iraq with a "convert or die" campaign, which is forcing Christians and other faiths to flee their homes.
Hamas openly continues to pursue their goal, which is the extinction of the Jewish people.
In addition, the world community raised its voice a few months ago to protest Sudan's death sentence on Meriam Ibrahim, a pregnant Christian woman who refused to renounce her faith and convert to Islam. Though she suffered many hardships, thankfully she has recently become free, unlike many of the 200+ girls kidnapped by the Islamic militant group Boko Haram (whose name means "Western or non-Islamic education is a sin").
These and other episodes, piled on top of the 9-11 Islamic-inspired attacks on the United States, lead many to strongly resist and greatly fear the religion of Islam – a condition that some have labeled "Islamophobia", which has been defined as a prejudice against, hatred towards, or fear of Muslims or of ethnic groups perceived to be Muslim.
Given recent events, as well as a longer look back through history, should you be Islamophobic?
Merriam-Webster defines a phobia as, "an exaggerated usually inexplicable and illogical fear of a particular object, class of objects, or situation". Those who point to Islamic-fueled terror attacks would argue that such a definition is flawed where Islam is concerned because there is nothing hard to explain about the events referenced above nor is it illogical to be worried that such episodes will continue or even grow in number.
However, that said, when looking at this and similar issues, caution should always be exercised upfront to ensure that the actions of a few are not confused with the beliefs/practices of the majority that make up a religion or worldview. To be specific where Islam is concerned, the question should be asked: do the majority of practicing Muslims participate in or condone the violence practiced by groups like ISIS?
As Saint Augustine said, a person should "never judge a philosophy by its abuse".[1] As a case in point where Christianity is concerned, how many times have non-Christians attempted to use the Crusades or Spanish Inquisition to paint Christianity as a violent and/or controlling religion?
The point is, when examining this issue we need to do our best to free ourselves from emotions and assumptions, and instead examine the facts and core prescriptive teachings of a worldview. For example, atheists and secular thinkers are quite fond of routinely saying that religions like Christianity and Islam are responsible for nearly all the violence and wars that have been fought down through history.
There's just one problem with that assertion – it is completely false. According to Philip and Axelrod's three-volume Encyclopedia of Wars, which chronicles some 1,763 wars that have been waged over the course of human history (up to 2004), only 123 of history's wars have a religious backbone[2], which means that 93% of all wars have been secular in nature.
Now what the author's data does show is that wars having an Islamic base make up over half of all religiously-inspired conflicts (66 up to 2004, the number of which would be higher today), leaving all other religions combined at 3%. Such a statistic does naturally lead to the question of why that might be.
In the Islamic Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith[3] 1.4, we read: "Allah's Apostle [Muhammad] said: "I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform that, then they save their lives and property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah."
That is followed up in 1.5, which says: "Allah's Apostle was asked, "What is the best deed?" He replied, "To believe in Allah and His Apostle (Muhammad). The questioner then asked, "What is the next (in goodness)? He replied, "To participate in Jihad (religious fighting) in Allah's Cause."
Then in the Quran, we find: "And if you are killed in the cause of Allah or die - then forgiveness from Allah and mercy are better than whatever they accumulate [in this world]. And whether you die or are killed, unto Allah you will be gathered." (3:157-158).
These three statements seem to sum up the foundation and justification that many Islamic terrorist groups give for the violence they commit against non-Muslims and the reward they expect if they die during a fight against their perceived enemies. Even the "golden rule" seems altered to apply only to other Muslims and not outsiders in Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 1.12: "The Prophet said, "None of you will have faith till he wishes for his (Muslim) brother what he likes for himself.""
What should we make of these statements?
There are countless articles and websites that list verses like those above from the Islamic Quran and Hadiths (Islamic traditions), which seem to prescribe violence toward non-Muslims, and there are also Islamic apologetic websites and materials that attempt to show how Islam is a religion of peace.
In looking at seemingly contradictory and opposing sides of an argument like this, it's helpful to ask two questions that help bring clarity to the discussion of what any religion or worldview believes and teaches:
To see how these can be applied, let's look at an example from Christianity. What would a person think by examining Psalm 137:9, which is a cry from the psalmist against his enemies: "How blessed will be the one who seizes and dashes your little ones against the rock".
Leaving the verse by itself, you have to admit that such a statement is shocking to read. But let's now look at it in context and in its historical setting: "Remember, O Lord, against the sons of Edom, the day of Jerusalem, who said, 'Raze it, raze it to its very foundation.' O daughter of Babylon, you devastated one, how blessed will be the one who repays you with the recompense with which you have repaid us. How blessed will be the one who seizes and dashes your little ones against the rock" (Psalm 137:1-9).
Old Testament scholars will tell you that these verses are a textbook example of talion, a cry for a punishment to match a specific crime. As Israel's enemies had done to them, the Psalmist asks God to repay them accordingly, even going so far as to cut off their next generation. This being the case, we find that the statement found in verse 9 is not a global prescriptive command, is only applied to a specific historical context, and is not something that dovetails at all with Christ's universal teaching of loving your enemy.
In Part 2 of this post, we'll apply the above two questions to Islam and see what we find.

Bio: Though Pasta is an Italian dish, Indians are known to add their own distinct flavor to every dish and believe me, most of the times the result is simply delicious! This Indian Chicken Pasta is an easy, quick and wholesome dish to make when you're short of time. The kids and adults both will love it!
1 cup dry pasta (any shape – penny, arabiata or any other that you like)
Tip: Choose whole grain pasta for a healthier, low calorie version)
1 green capsicum cut vertically
1 onion cut vertically
1/2 lb minced chicken
1 clove garlic crushed (garlic paste purchased from the market can also be used)
Tomato puree (425 gm)
2 tsp oil
Spices: 1/2 tsp garam masala, 1 tsp coriander powder, 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
Prepare Chicken Pasta With Indian touch:
Boil 3 cups of water, add pasta to the boiled water and cook for 10-12 mins. Drain the pasta and cover so that it cooks further more in steam.
Heat oil in a pan and add capsicum, onion, crushed garlic and saute for 2 mins.
Then add the spices, minced chicken and tomato puree and cook for another 5 mins.
Tip: In this step, you may also add some fresh cream or shredded cheese. Kids love it!
Lastly add the boiled pasta to the above pan and mix well. Cook for a minute and serve garnished with finely chopped coriander leaves.
Lemon-Chicken-Pasta with Red Pepper
Instead of tomato puree, try adding some lemon juice and ground red pepper to the onions after they turn golden. Then mix these with chicken and boiled pasta and your peppered-lemon-chicken-pasta is ready!

I have been following this thread with the same issue of the Away mode not working. I have followed all of the previous instructions of deleting app and re- installing, deleting rule and adding rule again also with different on/off times. This rule has never worked on any trial. I have the mini smart plugs. This rule was one of the main reason I purchased the wemo. I also have tried more than one device, both android. Looks like all the deleting, re-installing, rescheduling, making new rule is not the answer. I will keep following this thread to see if a fix ever comes to fruition. Thanks
Hi, kwilla. Are you using an Android or iOS device? What's the OS version of your smartphones? If you'd like, we can have our Escalation Engineers walk you through some more advanced troubleshooting steps. Just email us your full name, community username, phone number, location (country/state), and the link to this community post for our reference. You can also include the summary of troubleshooting steps you've gone through so we can have a clearer view of your situation.

Hi All,
I've just updated to Android Wemo version 1.18.1 (123) and finally away mode is working for me! Also I can enable rules over wifi, so it seems like multiple issues have been fixed with this release. Havent tested extensively yet, but seeing some lights switch randomly on/off
Hope this works for others too.
Similar situation here. I have 4 WeMo outlets, which work fine withe the WeMo app, and with Alexa, BUT I set up the AWAY rule to turn on the 4 attached lights at 17:10 and turn off at 21:18. Once 17:10 roles around, NOTHING happens. FYI, I use the iOS app for my iPhone 7. Any insight how to get this working? It was one of the main reasons I got the WeMo switches. Thanks.
@dek13190. Away Mode will turn your Wemo device on/off randomly during the duration of this rule. To clarify, does the rule won't work on that duration time you set? How about using a different handheld device in setting up this rule and check if the issue still persists. Also, Please make sure the firmware is updated. To know more about the Wemo Rules, follow this link.
If that won't work, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com so we can have this taken care of by our 2nd Level Support Team for further assistance along with the following details:
Gerard, thanks for your note. My understanding of the AWAY setting was that the affected devices would turn on at the set time, and off at the other set time. Once I read your note,you said that they would RANDOMLY turn on/off during the active period. I ran a test today over a 3 hour period and they all did just that. Way better than just on all the time then off. Many thanks for the explanation and advice. They do indeed work well with the AWAY rule. Thanks!
Away Mode had been working fine for me with a rule I have set on two Wemo Mini Plug devices, using Android app v1.19.1. I left on a two week overseas holiday and came back to find that Away Mode had stopped working. The two devices are set to go from sunset - 11:30PM on Away Mode. My regular on/off rule on a third device (Wemo Switch) works as programmed still.
I can operate both devices via the app, but the Away Mode rule does not function. I've deleted the rule and re-created it, and there's still no on/off during the set time. Both devices also successfully operate with set on/off time rules, just no Away Mode.
Hi, davesmunroe,
Is the firmware updated on the both devices?
How about the remote access? Is it enabled on the Wemo app?
Make sure to do these things. When done, please force close all the running apps in the background and reboot the devices.

The second season of the Canadian sketch comedy cult hit Kids in the Hall finds the already politely, downright preciously anarchic quintet attempting to push the limits of how much fun, exactly, can be poked at middle-class mediocrity without becoming self-righteous. Indeed, one of their most memorable skits from the season ("Comfortable") almost builds its entire premise on the group's sense of disbelief at how unbelievably easy it is to destroy sacred cows. In it, two married couples are spending their post-dinner bonding time preparing for an hour or so of meaningless, self-censored conversation and belt loosening. But when one (Scott) undoes his belt with the intent of grinding his bi-curious hips into the choad of his neighbor's wife (Kevin), the group laughs it off and revels in their ability to remain unfazed by what would be considered behavioral lapses of judgment if they weren't "among friends." It all goes swimmingly until the air of confession prods the other wife (Mark) to tell the game couple that she hated the lamp they gave her for Christmas and told them she broke it when she really snuck it into the trash. This blow lands below the belt in the realm of middlebrow interior design commoditization, and thus the evening comes to a swift conclusion. (Also from this same school of skits equating cheeky insouciance with malice is the immortal Simon and Hecubus—who are gate-keepers of Hell with shows at 1, 3, and 5—displaying their wondrous world of "pure unnatural Eeeee-vil"…which mostly consists of spoiling the ends of mystery movies and refusing to cooperate for card tricks.) The Kids were perhaps truly reaching their stride here (even if some of the jabs at single thirtysomething women seem a little more unforgiving than usual), and they can credit their success to their willingness to craft sketch comedy that has the veneer of topicality, but the subversive instinct to aim less at the "drug culture and sexism" advertised on the back cover of their second DVD release and more for the act of satire itself. Which ultimately resulted in some of the show's greatest successes (a spot-on, noir parody of Pretty Woman in which the hooker never acquiesces to a stable homestead and, after being married to her white knight for 50 years, asks her husband for the millions he owes her in hand-jobs and finger-fucks, as well as overage charges for rubber equipment) as well as some of their rare misfires (the "Phone" episode, which is rather baldly lifted from the structural playbook of Monty Python, who I clearly was too harsh on in my review of the previous season).
I was probably also a bit too harsh on the quality of the transfers last time around. They'll do, pricks.
Again, the bonus fourth disc in the box is composed of docs, selected skits with cast commentary, and videotaped performances from their pre-television sketch comedy days at the Rivoli Theater. The second part of An Oral History is only 15 minutes this time around (as opposed to forty), and covers their ability to play women "straight" and their ability to coax crew member and big-time bear Paul Bellini to submit to a contest whereby viewers could call in for a chance to touch his furry tub-tum. The "best of" compilations reveal that the cast mainly recorded tracks for the entire projected DVD series in one sitting, and like the season itself, their chat-tracks show the group spunky is as spunky does. The only complaint: clearly they (and by "they," I mean the straight ones) don't understand that the complex, emotive, and hysterical "Hazy Movie" is the thrilling culmination of Scott's drama queen aspirations. Or maybe they do, I can't quite remember.
"I'm sorry. I'd love to be of assistance to you, but I'm afraid I speak no English."

Factors That Make Online Casinos the Best Betting Option
The days when people had to visit physical casinos for gambling purposes have long been forgotten due to the rise of the internet technology. The internet is now a marketplace of all the kinds of businesses that clients would be interested in and it thus goes without saying that the owners of such businesses no longer have to rent physical premises to trade their wares. Owing to this fact, therefore, it is not rare to see most of the gambling happening over the internet. Gambling over the internet has its many advantages.

Owing to the fact that online casinos operate on a 24-hour basis, it is thus conclusive to say that they are the best suited for people who may not have the pleasure to bet during the daytime. To further the convenience of the gamblers, online casinos also make it possible for them to bet at the comfort of their homes.
For people who may consider betting publicly a taboo for them, online betting can be an option for them. The main issue of concern for such group of people is the fear that they may be spotted by their friends when they visit the casinos. There is also no guarantee that they will not bump on one of the acquaintances in the casino. As a result of this, … Read More ...

This week's salad is brought to you courtesy of one of my favorite LA restaurants: Tender Greens. It is the Tuna Nicoise salad with NO TUNA, NO EGG, sub GRILLED VEGGIES. (They don't even get mad at you when you order it that way. Love them Tender Greeners!!) If you want to recreate this yumminess in your own kitchen, you will need:
- mixed greens
- tomatoes
- capers
- olives
- assorted grilled veggies of your choice (Tender Greens salad pictured above has green beans, brussels sprouts, yams, parsnips and cauliflower. They change the veggies according to what is in season. )
- roasted fingerling potatoes (recipe HERE)
- sherry vinaigrette (recipe HERE)

The Prime Logo gets refreshed just weeks away from Prime Day.
Amazon has started to roll out an updated Prime logo on amazon.com. The new logo is used to mark products that qualify for free shipping under the Prime service is now all lower caps and not using slanted font as the old logo did.
Amazon is still using both versions of the Prime logo. The Prime Day logo is all lower caps, but the Amazon Prime logo uses the capital letter and italic or slanted font.
Amazon is making big changes to Prime Day this year. Amazon Prime Day 2017 will be third annual Prime Day and it will be longest yet. Amazon told market place sellers in an email that Prime Day 2017 will be for the first time 30 hours long. Amazon might also restructure the Amazon Prime Day week to match the Amazon Black Friday Deals week.
I4U News will provide real-time tracking of the best Amazon Prime Day 2017 deals online as well as through our free The Tracker app. For the most in demand deals the Tracker app will issue notifications on your smartphone, so you are not missing a hot Prime Day deal.
The Amazon Prime Day 2017 begins at 6pm Pacific the day before the actual Prime Day, adding six more hours of sales. The early launch makes Prime Day 2017 more convenient to shop early for Prime members living on the east coast. The past two Prime Days kicked off midnight Eastern.
The overwhelming success made Prime Day an annual event. Prime Day 2017 will be part of the Amazon Prime Day Week sales event. Like Black Friday, Amazon extends Prime Day to a whole week. Amazon revealed that Prime Day Week will be taking place in the second week of July.
At this point the 30 hour long Prime Day 2017 sale is only confirmed for the US. International Prime Day sales like the Amazon UK Prime Day might still stick ot the 24 hour mode.
Find out everything to know about Amazon Prime Day 2017 in our comprehensive guide. Read also our Prime Day 2017 deal predictions. Deal hunters will be able to use our The Tracker app to get notified when announced Prime Day 2017 deals go on sale.

Black Cumin Seeds
(A/2')(FS) Closely related to Nigella Love-in-a-Mist of which the seeds are also edible, however, this is the variety used in cooking and is used extensively in the cuisine of the Midde East, Turkey, and Western Asia. The aromatic seeds are used in many Indian spice mixtures, as well as, in breads. They can be ground in a peppermill and used like pepper. Nice flowers as well.

Hi I am looking for a foldable potty seat that has foldable legs also and doubles as a portable potty (uses the absorbent liners). It is similar to the Potette but folds down smaller and comes in colurs with cars etc. Does anyone know where I could get one or what company makes them? I have searched high and low with no luck :) I have seen Mum with them when my son was younger but can not find them now.

Just a reminder that the third and final Uniform Shop Sizing Day is on tomorrow morning from 8:30am to 9:30am.
These days are an opportunity for families to get familiar with the new uniform sizes and preorder for next year. There is no expectation to pay for any preordered items until later in the year. Our hope is that by doing this early we can ensure that we have the right stock for you at the start of the school year.
We would love to see you and have a chat about your children's uniform needs for next year.

A few days ago I posted a countdown timer for the release of Fedora 11, the latest in a long line of solid Linux operating systems. The countdown was down to just a handful of days but was recently bumped back a handful more! I found it odd when I saw the counter today that it had gone up! Obviously something needed to be taken care of, which is good to see that the Fedora people are not afraid to push a deadline back when something needs work. They generally do not scrap included packages unless it is entirely unlikely that the package will work with the new release. Microsoft, take note. Projected release dates are not set in stone, you can move them back! So what if geeks around the world will give you hell for delaying a week or so, the common user won't care if they have to wait for the latest version of Windows... generally, they won't even care that there IS a new release of Windows.
The latest version of Fedora looks very good, at first glance. With the inclusion of OpenOffice 3.1, the release will be great for the common user who needs their computer to check email, surf the web, and type word documents (and the occasional spreadsheet). If you're up for a slight adventure and would like to install a new OS that is NOT Windows, I would highly recommend it. The comfort of not having to worry about viruses, trojans, and malware is wonderful. If you are not up for the challenge, might I suggest, then, at least installing OpenOffice 3.1? They have added support for the Office 2007 extensions (those damn .xlsx .docx .pptx) that have been driving the world insane. It may not be quite at the level of Office, yet, but it is vastly approaching.
You may find OpenOffice 3.1 HERE

Due in part to an excellent Time article that I read this morning (Eating Better Than Organic), I decided to confront myself to determine which is more important to me. As a soon-to-be farmer and a consumer, which fits in more tightly with my beliefs and values?
On the one hand, just because you buy local doesn't mean that it can't be organic. I work on an organic vegetable farm that enjoys a very large part of the profits at the local farmers market each week. However, a lot of the fruit that I buy at the farm is sprayed with chemicals and I know this; I also know that fruit is difficult to grow organically and many of these farmers have families to feed. Sometimes, you just need the money.
Also from what I have seen, "organic" has turned into nothing more that a politcal game. Numerous regulations and fees does not ensure that the farmer is growing sustainably, which is what the root of organic used to be about. I care about growing without the use of any chemicals because when it comes right down to it, nature works just fine without them. It takes a little more knowledge and skill to use the organic method, but it works. It's amazing how much natural pest repellants are already in nature . . . plus crop rotations . . . companion plantings . . . the list goes on.
Nonetheless, I do not agree with buying organic food grown in Chile. I'm sorry, but that's stupid. One of things that appeals to me about farming is learning about how much actually grows in your area, and when you eat that fresh you really do get all the nutrients you need. Yes, you might not be able to have citrus year round and some nutritionists I'm sure are gasping at that thought of that. But guess what? There's lots of vitamin C in my fresh strawberries, blueberries, and Concord grapes! I like organic growing because it's good for the soil and the plants and the food, but not if it's shaped over thousands of miles for days on end.
I've really grown to enjoy the relationship that I have with my food now. I've never bothered to freeze anything, but this year I brought some veggies and fruit home and we have them stored safely away for use this winter. It's one of the deepest feelings of satisfaction: to know the food in our kitchen came from, and to take the steps to preserve that for the year. I like to know that we're taking care of our family that way.
So while nothing is better than growing your own food, I'd have to say that I choose local over organic.

2 February 2016
The CERA Global Association (CGA) is pleased to announce that Chu Lee has become the 3,000th person to earn the prestigious CERA (Chartered Enterprise Risk Actuary) credential.
Chu is a member of the Society of Actuaries in the US and Assistant Actuary, Corporate Actuarial Department, Munich Re, US (Life).
Ron Hersmis, Chairman of the CGA, is delighted to congratulate Chu Lee on this significant achievement and recognise this important step forward for global risk management. "There is a global demand for skilled enterprise risk management professionals. CERA is one of the most comprehensive and rigorous enterprise risk management qualifications available.
A CERA, because of their training and experience, can assess and manage the entire risk spectrum of an organisation including financial, operational and strategic risk. Chu and the other CERAs across the globe add value to enterprise risk management through their rigorous training, making them the best equipped to provide a 360 degree view of an organisation's risk profile."
Chu said, "I was surprised and honored to be the 3,000th CERA. I did not realise so many CERAs existed, nor did I know that within a one-year timeframe the group would grow by another 500 members! I am very impressed and very proud to be part of the group.
I have been interested in understanding the risk related to my work throughout my career, and my interest has grown exponentially in my current role in asset liability management at Munich Re. When the SOA offered ERM as part of the FSA track to attain the CERA, I jumped on the opportunity. I truly believe that the value of the training I received far outweighs the additional work put forth attaining the qualification.
The CERA qualification expanded my knowledge of various risk management methodologies across numerous areas of actuarial practice. In particular, it expanded how I look at the current work I am doing in asset liability management. Having the CERA qualification will enhance my contribution, customer focus and also further my personal development. Having been equipped with a variety of perspectives, I feel confident the CERA qualification will add value to my current work as well as future opportunities."
For more information about becoming a CERA or how employing a CERA can benefit your business, visit the website www.ceraglobal.org
About the CERA credential and The CERA Global Association
The CERA Global Association (CGA) grants actuarial organisations the right to award the global CERA credential to individual actuaries who have satisfied the requisite education and training requirements. Organisations are first subject to a rigorous review of their proposed CERA program, ensuring it meets the Association's demanding standards. Currently organisations in Australia, Austria, Canada, Chinese Taipei, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and the US are authorised to award the CERA credential.
The CERA was initially established in the United States by the Society of Actuaries in 2009. In 2009, 14 national associations from 12 countries joined to create the global CERA credential that addresses the growing need for highly qualified risk professionals, especially in the finance sector.

Today I want to talk about a controversial topic: DNF'ing an (e-)ARC. If you don't know, DNF stands for Did Not Finish. Basically, you start a book and you don't finish it because you really don't like it and you don't see the point of reading on. An (e-)ARC is an (Electronic) Advanced Reading Copy, either in physical or digital form.
Why is it controversial? Because (e-)ARC's are books you receive from the publisher for free, ahead of publication, and in exchange for your honest opinion. Publishers have a limited amount of ARC's they give out to bloggers, influencers, people in the industry, etc. which means they can't give them to just about anyone. It also costs them money because they're not getting money in return.
This is exactly the reason why I'll never DNF an ARC, no matter how bad I think it is. The publisher gave me a wonderful opportunity to read a book in advance (which, let's face it, is every book worm's dream) and I'd feel too guilty and bad for the publisher to tell them I DNF'd. [Note: this doesn't mean I'm scared of giving the book a bad review. I have no problem with giving a low rating because that's exactly why they gave you a copy.]
The second reason is that I'm an eternal optimist when it comes to reading books. There's a part of me that believes EVERY book has something good. I might hate the plot and the main characters, but that one minor character is lovely. I might hate the author's writing style, but I do like the themes she / he tried to explore. There's always something. And if I DNF, I tell myself I might be missing out on that one good thing.
Now, this doesn't mean I judge someone who DNF's an ARC. Not at all, actually. This is all just my personal opinion. Also, I'm just starting out with (e-)ARCs so it's hard to compare myself with bloggers who get a lot of them. I mean, I can understand that the decision to DNF is a lot easier to make when you've got dozens of books to read and have deadlines for all of them.
Having said that, there's one thing I think is wrong and that's asking for a bunch of ARCs you know you either can't read in time or you know aren't for you. I think you should always respect the publishers and authors involved, recognise the amazing opportunity you're given, and only ask for ARCs you genuinely interest you and you'll be able to finish in time.
What do you think? Would you / have you ever DNF'd an (e-) ARC? For what reason? Let me know in the comments!
