Eyeglasses with Thick side bars = Blindspots
This is for spectacles users. One thing I have noticed of late is that the latest in-vogue plastic spectacles which have thick, large side bars can be a potential hazard while driving. I discovered it when I bought such a pair of specs recently. I usually wear frame-less specs with thin side bars (titanium) which does not block view on your side. But while I was driving wearing the specs with large side bars, I found out that it can block the view of an entire car on your blind spot while changing lanes. I always perform the 3-step lane-changing exercise (check RVM, check ORVM and then do shoulder check or twisting the neck to see if there is any car on the blind spot very near the car). But I found out that the fashionable large-rim specs big side bars can actually block an entire car from your view, especially on the left side. Please share your experiences on specs + driving.

re: Eyeglasses with Thick side bars = Blindspots
What you say is true. I do not wear glasses for vision, but I do wear sunglasses, and I have noticed this in one of my pairs.
However, since my mirrors are set to drastically reduce my blind-spots, my shoulder-checks are not that troublesome, though I do have to turn my head a bit more with these glasses than with my others.

re: Eyeglasses with Thick side bars = Blindspots
This will be something to remember when I go for my eye check-up and subsequent glasses prescription.
Please edit your post to modify "specs" to "spectacles". Specs is a typical Indian abbreviation that is best forgotten once you enter a global work force.
Anyway, "specs" on an automotive forum means something entirely different

re: Eyeglasses with Thick side bars = Blindspots
I do all the three checks you've mentioned before lane-changing, but with a slight variance: instead of turning my head for a 'shoulder check', I prefer to move my body forward and check both ORVMs. I found this gives a better view than a shoulder check, as there is no blocking of view by the B pillar of the car, or by co-passengers.
If you use this method, any kind of glasses will not hinder your view.

Re: Eyeglasses with Thick side bars = Blindspots
+1 to vnabhi.
I don't wear spectacles for eyesight but frequently wear sunglasses. Although most of them have thin side bars, I have one pair with thick side glass (the funky ones! ) and yes, you do miss bikers/vehicles just like a thick A-Pillar hinders visibility at junctions. While changing lanes, I don't face any problem as I look in the ORVMs rather than turning around (i.e. shoulder check) since I feel it would be more dangerous if a vehicle ahead of you brakes in an emergency situation.
Best way is to get blind spot mirrors (don't know what they are exactly called) that stick on to your ORVMs to give a better field of you at a blind spot.
PS. I don't feel the need of such checks (shoulder check and stuff) except while reversing in some tight parking area (even with reverse cam and sensors).

Re: Eyeglasses with Thick side bars = Blindspots
How much does a full face helmet limit lateral visibility?
Don't air force pilots face this issue while using helmets?
How did some of us drive around all these years with dark films on our side windows?
What do you do about vehicles that are designed with extra-thick A/B/C/D pillars and gun slits for rear windows, that seriously limit rearward and lateral visibility, even if you don't wear spectacles/sunglasses? (The Swift is one such vehicle.)
So why blame the flat and wide temples of your pair of eyeglasses, which seems to be the fashion nowadays anyway?

Re: Eyeglasses with Thick side bars = Blindspots
^^ +1.
I wear eye glasses for vision, and instead of just glancing to the side, I turn my head, to avoid that blind spot.
Are we getting too lazy?

Re: Eyeglasses with Thick side bars = Blindspots
i dont think it makes a difference.
1. when you are on the move it is always 'MSM' i.e Mirror, Signal, Manoeuvre.. so there is no reason to turn your head even while changing lanes. proper use of the external ORVMs will help. And taking your eyes of the road during lane changes is not recommended.
2. when the vehicle is stationary then one could actually turn the head properly rather than having ti look through the side of the spectacles.
So based on the above it should not be a problem whether the stems or the side bands are thick or fine..
kindly correct me if i am mistaken.

Re: Eyeglasses with Thick side bars = Blindspots
I agree, it doesn't make much of a difference to me either. I've been wearing spectacles which a thick black frame for 2 years now. Initially, it took me a little less than 3 minutes to adjust with the side view.
The blindspots from the car pillars are the only real visiblity issue, and what vnabhi suggests works well.

Re: Eyeglasses with Thick side bars = Blindspots
I wore spectacles of -4.5, so anything outside the glass area, irrespective of the frame side bar size, was always a great blur. But I never faced this problem. I think it's more attributable to the person than the frame!

Re: Eyeglasses with Thick side bars = Blindspots
I am using similar frame for last 5 months, but I haven't faced this kind of issue. Getting used to the frame took some time, but nothing to be cautious about while driving.
Glass area in my frame is slightly over-sized, but I don't think thick side bars would have been a problem even otherwise.

Re: Eyeglasses with Thick side bars = Blindspots
I do not understand the logic of restricted visibility or blind spots after using a certain design of spectacles. I have been wearing all sort of spectacles from last so many years and never ever had I faced an issue like this. I think it is just about getting use to a particular frame. It is like many of us who have driven bikes with brakes on the right side tend to take time in adjusting to Royal Enfield bikes that have brakes on the left hand side.

Re: Eyeglasses with Thick side bars = Blindspots
I can totally relate to what you are saying and I had to change them the very same day due to the reduced visibility.
My eye-sight is -2.5 in both eyes and I can spot big/small vehicles on each side of the car even when looking without glass so a quick neck movement to right/left helps a lot. However, with this thick frame I had to really move my neck towards the back to spot the vehicles.
While it might be manageable for a lot of folks this just wasn't working out for me so I switched back to the sleeker frame that I had.
Its not about being lazy because would you prefer a gearbox on the dashboard for which you'd only have to move ahead a little to change gears every time. I mean it would be a great workout too, no? You're just being lazy now! I'm sure people driving AT cars aren't lazy
And lets not call it rubbish just because you have a different driving style. I mean if I can work with a little neck movement then any more effort is, simply an extra effort for me. Thick side-frames mean extra head movement and anybody comfortable with or used to little head movement will definitely find it annoying.

Social Media– Who remains in Control?
Social network permits people to connect by ways of identifying common interests and forged cyber-based friendships. , if there are negative elements to social media they may be offset by prospective marketing possibilities.
Please remember this article is intended to demonstrate the marketing capacity for social networks for online company owner. I comprehend some have issues about social media as it relates to children, however this post stays focused exclusively on the on marketing possibilities related to social media.
That being said, one negative associated to social media for some online company owner is the addicting nature of taking part in social networking. Time spent on the website corresponding with other 'pals' might chip away at the time you might actually need for other company related activities.
If you have spent any quantity of time on social networks then you know it is possible to post a blog entry and be alerted to brand-new posts to your blog site whenever a new post is made. You may discover yourself heading back to your social networks page to read upgraded comments a number of times a day. This will most likely lead to the desire to thank the individual for their remark. Naturally all of this is done under the notion that you are working to market your service through social media, however the truth exists comes a point where you can spend an inordinate quantity of time corresponding with individuals you don't truly understand for one small aspect of marketing capacity. When you're having fun online the balance between work and play gets a little blurry.
Another unfavorable that may sound rather comparable is that social media can keep you from in person contacts that might benefit your business. The in person contacts might remain in the type of business-to-business networking or meeting affiliates, however social media can, and often does, minimize time for events that are typically of equal or greater importance.
Among the keys to efficient internet marketing is attempting to keep things stabilized.
Obviously it can spend some time to develop your social networks page and it might be difficult to completely determine what your goals remain in relation to social media, but then you may wish to dedicate to just a certain amount of time each day to the social networking and resist returning to the page repeatedly throughout the day. You might even want to configure your email box to send out all e-mails from the social media website to an unique folder that you can easily examine on a daily basis without the need to review your page several times every day. If the interruption ends up being too noticable, you might even desire to turn the function off that informs you to new posts and messages.
Keep in mind, your social networks page is there to assist you market your business and connect with potential customers while directing them to your main site, however far frequently people concern view the social networks page with something similar to an addiction.
Enable social media to be useful without concerning a location where it is utilizing you.
If you have spent any quantity of time on social media then you know it is possible to post a blog entry and be informed to brand-new posts to your blog whenever a new post is made. Of course all of this is done under the concept that you are working to market your business through social media, however the fact is there comes a point where you can invest an inordinate amount of time matching with individuals you do not really understand for one little element of marketing capacity. Undoubtedly it can take some time to develop your social media page and it may be hard to fully determine what your objectives are in relation to social media, however then you might desire to devote to only a particular amount of time each day to the social networking and withstand coming back to the page repeatedly throughout the day.

One of the key priorities of the Dept. of History is that we maintain a library of our own that would facilitates learning. The library has various journals and books on history; which helps expose the students to recent developments and writing in this area. In addition, computer facilities enable ongoing research for students' and did it proud as achieved.
The Department of History also maintains an archaeological museum under its aegis. Among the collection are a sizable number of coins that belong to various historical periods and other articles that reveal the systems and organizations that make up the past of Kerala. The department has conducted some excavations in the surrounding areas, which unearthed utensils and iron implements from burial sites, which give clues to the hidden stories of a Kerala from a longtime ago.

Associate Professor David Harrich, from QIMR's Molecular Virology Laboratory, has determined how to modify a protein in the virus, so that it instead provides strong, lasting protection from infection.
"This is like fighting fire with fire," Associate Professor Harrich said.
"If this research continues down its strong path, and bear in mind there are a number of hurdles to clear, we're looking at a cure for AIDS."
Associate Professor Harrich runs the only research laboratory and containment facilities in Queensland working with the HIV virus.
He invented the "Nullbasic" protein by mutating an existing HIV protein. It's shown remarkable abilities to stop the virus replicating in a lab environment.
"I have never seen anything like it. The modified protein works every time," Assoc Prof Harrich said.
"You would still be infected with HIV, it's not a cure for the virus. But the virus would stay latent, it wouldn't wake up, so it wouldn't develop into AIDS. With a treatment like this, you would maintain a healthy immune system."
The successful development of this type of one-off treatment would also have economic implications. HIV patients currently take a regime of drugs for the rest of their lives, which can be a significant financial burden.
Associate Professor Harrich has been researching HIV for thirty years, since starting as a research assistant at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in the early 1980s when the first cases of HIV/AIDS emerged.
"I've come close to giving up in the past. But today I'm so encouraged. I feel very fortunate because not a lot of scientists are able to stay in the same game long enough to see these sorts of developments. It involves perseverance, dedication and, of course, sustained research funding.
Associate Professor Harrich's research is funded by an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship.
This research is published in the current issue ofHuman Gene Therapy and can be found online at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23298160

HIV FACTS: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infects vital cells within the immune system and can cause AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). A person can be infected with the HIV virus but not have AIDS.
HIV cripples a person's immune system, making even the most common illnesses potentially life-threatening. HIV infection occurs through the transfer of body fluids, via sexual contact, blood transfusion, sharing of needles or through the placenta from mother to unborn child.
Globally, HIV/AIDS is now a pandemic and ranks as one of the largest killers of any infectious disease. More than 25 million people have died.
The Queensland Institute of Medical Research (QIMR) is a world leading translational research institute. Our research focuses on cancer, infectious diseases, mental health and a range of complex diseases. Working in close collaboration with clinicians and other research institutes, our aim is to improve health by developing new diagnostics, better treatments and prevention strategies.

The top 5 SOA adoption pitfalls
If you want to make an SOA all go wrong, here's five excellent ways to do it. SOA guru Thomas Erl provides this definitive guide to service-oriented disaster.
It's been a tumultuous year in the world of SOA and we're just at the beginning of a rollercoaster ride. As organizations continue to re-examine the ever-shifting landscape of service design, service buses, service governance and even just services, there are often mixed emotions. Many are confused as to the maturity and overall status of SOA in the IT industry, but there is definite sense of excitement around its touted potential to unite business and technology.
Many SOA initiatives were launched this year, each with its own set of goals and expectations. Some failed miserably, while others failed just a little. For many, the determining factor in fulfilling their original objectives was drawing upon the experience of those who had already survived projects with less fortunate results. These individuals lived to tell their stories and warn others of what lies ahead along the path toward SOA.
In our line of work we get pulled into various projects at different stages of completion. We've seen good SOA go bad and bad SOA get even worse. Problems can be fixed and mistakes can be undone, but of course there is always an impact to getting things back on the right track. The best course of action is, obviously, avoiding problems and mistakes in the first place.
Understanding the pitfalls others have fallen victim to puts you in a position from which you can form the extent of foresight required to chart a safer route down your own SOA roadmap. To help you get a head start, we have collected the five most common SOA adoption pitfalls.
#5 Not understanding SOA performance requirements
Loose coupling comes at a price. When implemented with Web services, SOA introduces layers of data processing as well as the associated performance overhead imposed by these layers. When starting out small, it is easy to build service-oriented solutions that function and respond as expected. As the scope increases and more functionality is added, the volume of message-based communication predictably grows. This is when unprepared environments can begin experiencing significant processing latency.
Critical to building a successful service-oriented solution is understanding the performance requirements of your solution and the performance limitations of your infrastructure ahead of time. This means testing (and, if necessary, strengthening) the message processing capabilities of your environments and paying close attention to service design so as to achieve an acceptable balance between transmission rates, transmission sizes and other service characteristics that can negatively affect solution performance.
#4 Not starting with an XML foundation architecture
In the world of today's SOA, everything begins with Web services. That statement has become a mantra of sorts within some organizations, but it is not entirely true. In the world of today's SOA, everything, in fact, begins with XML. It is the standard from which multiple supplementary standards have evolved to form a de facto data representation architecture. It is this core set of standards that has fueled the creation of the many Web services specifications that are now driving SOA.
So much attention is given to how data is transported between services that the manner in which this same data is structured and validated behind service lines is often neglected. This oversight can lead to an improper implementation of a persistent XML data representation layer. This layer is foundational to SOA and its weaknesses will have repercussions across any solutions built upon it.
#3 Not creating a transition phlan
The chances of a successful migration will be severely diminished without the use of a comprehensive transition plan. Because the extent to which service endpoints are positioned within an enterprise can lead to a redefinition of an environment's infrastructure, the effects of a poorly executed migration can be significant. Transition plans allow you to coordinate a controlled phasing in of service-orientation and SOA characteristics so that the migration can be planned on a technological, architectural and organizational level.
Typical components of an SOA transition plan include an impact analysis (that predicts the extent of change SOA will impose on existing resources, processes, custom standards and technology), transition architectures (that map out a series of planned hybrid stages toward a target SOA) and a speculative analysis (that takes into account the future growth of Web services and supporting technologies).
#2 Not standardizing SOA
SOA, like any other architecture, requires the creation and enforcement of internal design standards for its benefits to be truly realized. For example, if one project builds a service-oriented solution in isolation from others, key aspects of its solution will not be in alignment with the neighboring applications it may be required to interoperate or share agnostic services with one day.
This can lead to many problems, including incompatible data representation, service contracts with irregular interface characteristics and semantics, and the use of non-complementary Web services extensions (or extensions being implemented in different ways).
SOA promotes a development environment that abstracts back-end processing so that it can execute and evolve independently within each application. However, standardization is still required to ensure consistency in design and interaction of services that encapsulate this back-end logic.
#1 Building SOA like traditional distributed architecture
The number one obstacle organizations have been facing when attempting to achieve SOA is building service-oriented solutions in the same manner in which traditional distributed solutions have been built, under the pretense that SOA is actually being achieved.
SOA is not CORBA + XML, nor is it ASP.NET + WSE. Service-orientation is not object-orientation, nor is it "close enough" so that building object-oriented component logic will always "fit right into" service-oriented solution environments. SOA is a distinct architectural model based on service-orientation, a distinct design paradigm. Understanding these distinctions are critical to building automation logic that is truly service-oriented and in alignment with where the SOA industry is moving on a global scale.

I loved this! Everything from the dialogue and the characters to the art and the soundtrack were so calming and lovely and creative and wonderful. This made me have mushy gay feelings. I adore Revek and Galine together!!
Also, if you don't mind me asking (idk if this is a spoiler-y thing or not), how many possible endings to this game are there? I want to have played all the routes and I think I have but I'm not sure.
Thank you for your kind comment, this was wonderful to wake up to! (also, I love your username!) I'm really glad I achieved my goals of a calming and mushy gay game! >w<
And I don't mind at all! There are 3 possible endings: one with Revek, one with Vals, and one where you don't don't date either one of them. Out of all the choices in the game, only two change the route direction. (The others are just for alternate dialogues/learning more about the characters)
This was the cutest and most entertaining game! The robot worlds were all interesting and well thought out, and the characters were completely adorable. I love the detail put into their hobbies and the places they visited. I can't wait for the next cup!
Thank you so much, Aura!! This means a lot to me, to know that you enjoyed the first serving of robo-tea.
I can't wait to see how you like the second cup, next year! :D

Take Action
What Can You Do?
Speak Out
- Share what you know with your friends and family
- Become an EleAmbassador and raise awareness in your community
- If you're an educator, schedule a Distance Learning program with The Elephant Sanctuary to inform students about the importance of keeping elephants wild, and their contributions as a keystone species.
- Speak up if you're concerned for an animal's welfare
- Write your elected officials about policies that impact elephants
- Ask your local officials to prevent permits to shows traveling with wild/exotic animals
- Express your support for bills that protect wild/exotic animals
- Request animal-free performances in your area
Shop Smart
- Do not buy or trade ivory and help protect elephants and their tusks by supporting measures aimed at combating the global ivory trade
- Look for Rainforest Alliance Certification, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) labels for products that don't deplete elephant habitats. While palm oil can be produced sustainably, production methods of palm oil often go unchecked and threaten local ecosystems. Choose clearly labeled oils, such as 100 percent sunflower oil, corn oil, olive oil, coconut oil, or canola oil, or look for RSPO labels for products made with sustainable palm oil that doesn't deplete elephant habitats.
- Do not support performances that include wild/exotic animals
Rethink Everyday Habits
- Be plastic conscious. When you dine out, ask for your water without a straw. When you grocery shop, take your own reusable totes and produce bags—and buy in bulk while you're at it to reduce consumption of plastic packaging. Stay hydrated with a stainless steel water bottle instead of buying single-use plastic ones
- Switch out your light bulbs. If every American household replaced one regular lightbulb with a compact fluorescent lightbulb it would be equivalent to removing one million cars from the road
- Refuel with a reusable coffee mug—and buy shade-grown coffee! To know you're buying eco-friendly coffee, look for the Rainforest Alliance seal
- Choose Used. You can save money and the environment by buying used (clothing, books, household appliances, furniture, you name it). Leave the linear economy behind and join the circular economy—you'll feel great about all the society-wide benefits
- Cut the catalogs. More than 100 million trees are cut down every year to produce junk mail. Deforestation contributes to both habitat-loss for wildlife and global climate change. Visit optoutprescreen.com to stop receiving pre-approved credit card offers and sign up on catalogchoice.org to reduce the number of unsolicited catalogs sent to you.
Travel Responsibly
- When planning a visit to a zoo, nature park, or sanctuary in the US, look for GFAS and/or AZA accreditations
- Be elephant aware and choose ecotourism operations that support local elephant conservation projects and treat elephants with respect and dignity
- Do not ride elephants

LoanSnap Closes in on Goal to Close a Mortgage in a Week
Digital mortgage startup LoanSnap has a goal of getting a mortgage to close in a week by the end of the year; the company already closed 5 loans in 8 days this past June; "We're automating and creating efficiencies," said Karl Jacob, CEO, and Founder of LoanSnap, to Forbes. "We're reducing the mountain of data you have to supply."; LoanSnap started by using AI and machine learning to analyze someone's finances so they could save money and find the right loan product; the company has helped thousands save money and now is looking to take on the mortgage loan; on average it takes about 42 days for a mortgage to close and the traditional lender is too focused on selling a low rate without considering additional factors about the borrower; LoanSnap is one of many companies in the market trying to disrupt the arduous process of taking out a home loan.

In honor of Father's Day, we asked members of the Citi Habitats' team to share their thoughts about fatherhood – from stories from the fathers here at our firm, to agents' memories of their own dads. We begin with a Q&A with Ira and Mike Schulte, a father and son (pictured above) – and leaders of one of our brokerage's most successful teams.
Ira Schulte
Citi Habitats: You and Mike have real estate in common, but do you have any other shared interests? What do you guys like to do together for fun?
Mike and I have both made helping people a priority in our lives. Mike has been involved in scouting his entire life. He made Eagle Scout and then was a troop leader for many years. Before I embarked on my real estate career, I was a social worker and licensed psychotherapist for 23 years – and we have both been heavily involved in Citi Habitats Cares – Citi Habitats' charitable organization. We've worked at Trinity Soup Kitchen every month for several years and organized the JCCA holiday toy drive for foster children. In fact, members of our entire family are dedicated to improving the lives of others. My daughter is a 5th grade teacher – and my wife is a retired registered nurse. Her last job was staff nurse for the TV station, ABC 7.
As far as what Mike and I like to do together, we love to go out to eat – it's a great way to catch up. One of our favorites is Sevilla in the West Village. It's a classic in our family. My wife and I have been going there for 45 years – even before we got married. We also are huge fans of Patrizia's of Williamsburg. Not only is the food delicious, but the owners and staff at Patrizia's are great people. They donate the pizza for the holiday party we throw for foster kids every year.
We travelled together a lot when Mike and his sister were younger. The Schultes have driven all throughout the Northeast United States – and other favorite family destinations have included Florida and Bermuda. In terms of hobbies, Mike and I are also both really into collecting art. My favorite artists are Itzchak Tarkay and Linda Le Kinff. They are both known for their portraits of elegant women in vivid colors.
Citi Habitats: Did you inspire Mike to get into the real estate business? How did he get involved in the industry?
I never encouraged him to pursue real estate, but Mike's been entrepreneurial since he was little. In kindergarten, he would sell turns on his handheld computer game to other kids for 5 cents. He was like a one-man video arcade. In high school, Mike would sell Rice Krispie Treats and other snacks out of his gym bag. After college, he ended up as a successful store manager at a Circuit City on Long Island – until the company went bankrupt and he was at a crossroads. I think what appealed to him about the real estate industry is that here you control your own destiny.
Since he's started in the business, we've always worked together and have been committed helping each other. We bring an interesting combination when we work together. Mike's very tech savvy – he's even got a full-time videographer. I think my strength is in customer service. We go about helping clients in different ways, but we both truly care. In the last few years, Mike's come into his own, and his business has really taken off. I've passed the baton to the new generation, and he's now running our team.
Citi Habitats: What advice would you give Mike – to pass on to his own son?
Mike and I have a lot of similarities. We are both very involved with our kids. Mike is very motivated to give his wife and son a good life, and he's willing to work very hard to give them the best financially. I'd like to remind Mike to not become 'all consumed' with business – and not to let work get in the way of bonding with your family. Time spent with them – and the memories made – are what matters.
Mike Schulte
Citi Habitats: Did your dad influence your decision to get involved in the real estate business? If so – how?
I grew up in the business as my dad worked in real estate in our home borough of Queens for many years. I remember helping him pass out open house flyers – but I never thought real estate was the business was for me. I spent 6.5 years in management at the electronics store chain, Circuit City. After they went out business – I did some travelling and plotted my next move. I decided that corporate America wasn't for me. I realized that throughout my life I've been a salesperson and I saw my dad making a good living as a real estate agent for over 15 years. So, I figured I'd give it a shot… and here I am 9 years later. I never thought this business would change my life like it has. It's been a wild ride but in the last 2.5 years my career has really grown. I'm proud of what I've achieved.
Citi Habitats: Is there anything in either business or in life that you have taught your dad?
I've tried to teach my dad to be more direct and 'to the point' with his communication. I think his communication style is a product of his generation. People my age are more inclined to respond to direct, straightforward messages. He's doing a good job working on how to tailor his message to his audience.
I'm also his 24-hour tech support and I walk him through the same 'issues' all the time.
Citi Habitats: Is there anything your dad has taught you that you plan to pass on to your son?
I take my dad's passion for caring for other people and always giving back. That's something that's special about him. He taught me that it's important to give – and if you do good for others with no expectation of anything in return, it will come back. The universe will take care of you. In both his career and personal life, my dad has always led by example when it comes to helping others. This is something I will continue to instill in Cooper, my own son. It the most important life lesson one can get.
Paul Sweet
As a single parent, my children are truly the center of my universe. All the work I do within my real estate business is for them. To balance my duties, I need to stay very well scheduled. I have to give proper thanks to my colleagues here at Citi Habitats for assisting with my marketing and administrative work, as well as working on appointed buildings for me. It's a great team atmosphere in my office.
I'm the proud father of two beautiful girls, Lucie (age 7) and Violet (age 5). I moved here from Ireland to start a life in New York 2009, having met their mother – and whilst that didn't quite work out as planned, I treasure the life I now have with each of my girls. I'd say I'm a very involved dad. I'm a class parent for my youngest daughter and wouldn't miss a ballet recital, or any engagement involving either of them. While they live with me approximately half of the time, I am a father to them 100% of the time.
Right now, my kids are in kindergarten and second grade, so they are learning lots of engaging things at school which we often chat about. I taught them both to swim, and they generally love sport, which is a great outlet for the three of us. They recently scaled the climbing wall at Equinox on Columbus, opposite our office. I love that they are competitive in their nature. I want my daughters to explore New York – as city kids, they have done a lot of interesting things I could never have imagined at their age. This summer, I'm taking them back to my hometown of Belfast, for the 3rd time. I want them to have an escape from the big city and to experience some of their Papa's culture, particularly as they will be able to understand and learn more from it now.
I see myself as someone who has reinvented themselves twice – once upon arriving in NYC, and the other as a single dad, all in the backdrop of one of the most competitive cities in the world. I want my daughters to learn from me that with hard work, grit and a true desire to achieve, anything is possible. Later in their lives, I would like for them to know that they were my driving force in all.
Candy Galas
My dad's name was Emilio Lopez and he was veteran of the Coast Guard and the Army. He taught me to give and to do for others. Every day at dinner he would ask us kids, "and what did you do today for the good of the community?" And he was serious! He managed and coached youth baseball in Tampa for over 20 years. Many of the players on his teams were classmates of mine – and I keep in touch with several of them. One of them told me recently that the reason he coached little league as an adult was because of the inspiration my dad was to him.
My dad also helped raise funds for and build a camp in Brooksville, Florida for kids that otherwise would have never been able to go. He also managed a local pool for no pay just to keep it open and gave swimming lessons to blind children so that they could enjoy the water and have no fear. He taught me to be giving and to lead, as he did. I wouldn't have been an active volunteer for several organizations without his inspiration.
In 1968 as I was entering my senior year of high school, my dad was an Army Reserve member and was called to active duty. He was 42 years old, and passed away after returning from the Vietnam War. Yes, he missed so much of my life, but during the time he was here he gave me so much. I salute him every day.
Marcia Waddell
My dad was a man that would take care of his little girl when she was ill. He brought me a Walt Disney 'Mickey on the steamship' puzzle (circa 1969) when I was home from school sick one day. He was a gentle, kind man – sincere and full of integrity and honesty. One time we went through a drive-through bank teller to cash a check. We had driven quite a distance before we realized the bank teller put an extra $20 in the bank envelope. The moment he realized, he turned around and went back to the bank and gave the lady her $20 back. When this happened, I was a child under the age of 10 – and I think that lesson stuck with me quite deeply. Honesty and integrity therefore are a big part of my life and always have been.
A father that sets an honest, loving, kind and tender example creates beautiful, honest people. My father passed away when I was 12 years old; he was only 44. However, the impression he made on me as a young person stuck with me the rest of my life. I owe all the beautiful friendships I have in life to the way I was raised by my dad. Life is a boomerang. The way you treat other people, comes back around to you in the long run.

When I am not in the office, on the phone closing deals, or out looking at properties, I am spending precious time with my wife Amy, daughters Jolie (9) and Brooke (6), and our two pugs Rocky and Sandy.
After getting married, becoming a father has been the second most life-changing event I have experienced in my 39 years.
The past nine years have been incredible as I've watched my two daughters grow up from infants to adolescents. Along the way, I've tried to teach them everything they need to know to thrive in this complex world. This week my wife and I bought our oldest daughter her first 24 inch, 7 speed bicycle and taught her how to ride on her own for the first time. Seeing her glow with excitement as she grasped this new skill and new-found freedom was one of the most special times I have shared with her. I have never been prouder. Now her six year old sister Brooke is eager to learn and should be riding in the next few weeks. She's a quick learner!
Being a husband and father and raising a family of my own was always something I wanted to do from a very young age. It's all I thought it was going to be – and a whole lot more. I could never have imagined being so loved and looked up to until I had my daughters.
On June 26th, Amy and I will be celebrating 13 years of marriage and we could never imagine life without Jolie and Brooke. June 17th is also my wife's birthday so we always have a double celebration. Happy Birthday Amy… our journey has just begun!!

The phone runs stock ICS and had been working fine for months, but one day it began going really slow.
For example, when using the messaging app, he clicks send and there's an animation moving the text to the thread. It now takes a few seconds after the animation for the text to appear in the thread.
Another example, exiting the messaging app takes sometimes 20 seconds.
Another example, it takes more than 10 seconds for the gallery to appear. He claims it was always lightning quick to open.
I've seen it reboot by itself. He says it crashes like that often.
I worked with him to backup all his pictures etc, then did a factory reset. His new strategy was to only install a few apps (facebook, business calendar) but the phone has again started presenting the same symptoms, in exactly the same stock apps.
I've suggested it's a hardware issue and that he should take it into the shop. Is there something I'm missing in diagnosis, or is my recommendation right?

Yesterday, the weekend caught up with me, and I had some serious pain in my right ribs … the site where pain has existed most days for the past three years. I did wear the 'corset' brace that the orthopedist has prescribed for me, "as needed," and it did help me, again, to sit and stand straight taking some of the pressure off that site. I was surprised a few months ago when he told me that, in addition to osteoporosis, I now have curvature of the spine, or scoliosis, and a past fracture in the lower right rib. I guess one of those falls on the ice in 2010 caused that.
But despite the pain, Rick and I made that trip into City Hall, Boston after lunch to get the official copy of my birth certificate, which I'll need next week when I consult with SSA about spousal income. The pain intensified on the train, and I wondered then if I'd remembered to take my morning meds. When we returned home, I forget again to check my daily pill box. It wasn't until much later, when I went to take my night medications at bed time that I discovered the full box of morning pills, which explained why the pain was as strong as it was.
I'm never sure of when things happened, as my memory of present events is very weak. I can meet someone and immediately forget what they just told me their name was. But if I can immediately connect that name to one from the past, I have a better chance of remembering it. The worker at City Hall in Boston who helped me with the birth certificate noted my Boston childhood address, and asked me if I knew Susan, (my best friend before we left Boston mid-high school.) We chatted for a few minutes as there was no one waiting for her services, and as we talked, memories of street names, and family names came flooding back. I was suddenly that person I once was, and could see those faces and places in my mind's eye as clearly as they would have been in a video. When she told me her own name, I linked it to my former next-door neighbor, whom she said was probably a cousin of hers. Having made that link, I can remember her last name, but her first name is gone.
It troubles me that names are the most significant memory loss I've experienced. Names are important, and forgetting them makes it look like I don't think they are worth remembering. That loss makes me feel sad and guilty.The MRIs show old lesions in many areas of my brain; they are sometimes referred to as 'black holes.' They are that, indeed. But I can't very well go around excusing myself by explaining that I have holes in my brain. When people tell me that they have a poor memory too (or, as Rick says, a good memory that doesn't last very long) I tell them that I have only a memory of once having had a memory. It's not the same. Hard as I try, I cannot remember things that I've lost in one of the 'black holes.'
Yesterday, Rick was already out in the barn, working on something, and I sat in a different room to eat breakfast – the parlor – where I write in my journal: hence, the forgotten morning pills. He'll try to remember to check with me before we eat lunch each day, to see whether I remembered the morning meds. We each do our best to help each other's memories. Calendars have become very important again in our lives. I didn't think they would be such a large part of our 'happily ever after' years.

Dark areas on the T1 weighted scans point to loss of myelin and loss of the nerve fibers, or axons. These areas are named for what they look like: "black holes". The darker the spot, the more extensive the tissue loss. They develop where a lesion has been re-inflamed time and again.
As one clinician put it, "Black holes are where a plaque used to be. The area is now totally inactive."
Black holes do correlate with the clinical picture. Individuals with black holes have permanent disabilities.

L E Fitzpatrick was born in Hull, East Yorkshire, but now lives in West Wales, with her family plus lots of dogs and cats. She manages an office, volunteers as a room steward for the National Trust and also supports independent authors as a proofreader and beta reader. She obviously has no spare time because of this, but if she did it would probably be invested in walking in the countryside and enjoying the peace and quiet.
L E Fitzpatrick published her first series Dark Waters in 2011 and is currently working on her Reacher series.
Border Lines (Reachers Book 2)
by L E Fitzpatrick
"We all remember that kid in Piccadilly. That determined look he had on his face as he willed all those people to him. Just using his mind he pulled them close then blew them all to pieces. It could be anyone. Your neighbor, your friend, your lover. Remain vigilant. Reachers are everywhere."
When the perfect job comes up Charlie doesn't think twice about taking it. This is the break he's been looking for and nobody, not even the rest of his team, can persuade him otherwise.
The job means working for an old enemy and crossing the border into London. Both are risky but Charlie has no idea how high the stakes really are.
The team will have to confront their past, each other and a killer who is closer than they realize. But can they all make it out of the city alive?
This is the second installment in the Reacher series.
My Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Border Lines reached me quite a few months after The Running Games and I thought I'd have to go back and review the first installment, just to refresh myself. I'm so glad that I was wrong! L E Fitzpatrick has a gift for getting your head right back to where the previous novel ended and you're into this dystopian world without a problem at all.
The Smith brothers and their newly-adopted sister Rachel are still on the run, not just because of a string of murders and thefts left in their wake, but also because of who they are - Reachers, people with paranormal powers.
Charlie gets word that Father Darcy is looking for them and drops everything to meet him. Despite Darcy selling Rachel's sister years before, he still has that smidgen of trust for him. But, they find Darcy almost dead, themselves trapped in a ramshackle old church, and unknown to them, in the sights of renegade Reachers out for blood.
In order to survive, they have to take a job that brings them across the border of Safe Haven and into London. What they find and what they have to do is beyond what any of them expected.
These characters, Charlie, John, Rachel, and Roxy get under your skin and become alive. You can feel Charlie's struggles to stay sober and want to hit him upside the head when he gets tempted. John is still an enigma to me but his mood swings are understandable. After all, he has to live with Charlie and rescue him when necessary. Rachel is the most human of all but her sympathy for mankind (well, she IS a doctor) is what gets her into trouble. And then there is Roxy; maudlin, opportunistic, and charming. Yet all together, this ragtag family puts the police into a tailspin so fast nobody knows what hit them.
Yet this group of almost superhumans is in danger from several different forces and has to avoid them while completing their job if they want to survive. Mission impossible? Now that group of super spies has nothing on them. The
Reachers are raw action and not above getting themselves hurt or others killed to finish their task. There is no fear in any of them, except for each other.
It's a beautifully crafted, non-stop exciting, futuristic novel that stops almost too quickly. The cliffhanger here is a fraction from being too much, with the lives of several of the main characters hanging in the balance. You've got an enormous "WHAT?!?" reverberating in your brain.
Border Lines left me turning the pages in the search for more. Bravo, L E Fitzpatrick!

A barbwire fence scars the south of England – London's poverty proof vest, protecting her from S'aven's desperation. In case the fence wasn't enough, a concrete wall was erected and patrolled with armed soldiers trained to shoot on sight. It didn't matter who came over that fence, they never made it to the wall.
People crossed over through the gates and even then that was never a guarantee. You could leave London whenever you wanted, entry to S'aven was always free, but it came with risks. If you lost your wallet, or your ID, or if the border watch didn't like the look of you, getting back in could take days, even weeks.
During the day queues of cars waited to be admitted to the city. Movement was always slow, but by the evening the commuting traffic relaxed and the wait was usually only an hour or so.
Rachel rapped her knuckles on the passenger seat as the car ahead of them started to move forward. This was closer than she had ever dared go to the border. There were stories about guards having scanners that picked up Reachers, even if that was a lie it still left her fake ID and the boot full of weapons to worry about. The urge to use her powers was overwhelming, but Charlie insisted they get through legitimately.
She glanced at John as he drove forward. He was focused, but unconcerned with the task at hand. The brothers were used to crossing the border. They'd seen what it was like on the other side. She hadn't even seen through the gates. The world she was used to was the one they were parked in – dirty, decaying, depressing. What could be hiding behind that concrete wall? How good was it on the other side?
It was their turn. Rachel followed John and Charlie's lead, placing their hands on the dashboard and the front seat. Three border police circled their car. One ducked down to see underneath and, satisfied, they gestured that John slowly open the window.
"Passes," the man ordered, shuffling his rifle back onto his shoulder.
Rachel handed the three fake passes to John, her heart racing. John handed them to one watchman to process while another began his interrogation.
"Is this your first visit to London?"
"What's the purpose of your visit?"
"Business," John stated coolly. Rachel wanted to slap him – he was going to get them all killed.
"Your employer."
With a sigh he said, "Delta Gray Limited. We have an apartment in the Grange, and we'll be here for two weeks. Check in is in less than two hours, can we speed this up?"
It was the name of the hotel that perked his interest. "The Grange is expecting you? All three of you?" He didn't wait for an answer. He backed away from the car to his secure booth to check what the computers had found.
Confident, John closed his window.
"The Grange?" Charlie called from the back. "You didn't think something a bit cheaper would be a good idea?"
John shrugged. "I'm not forcing you to stay with us."
The men continued to watch them.
"What's wrong?" Rachel asked nervously.
"Nothing, they're just trying to work out the toll they're going to charge us."
"There's a standard charge to enter London but it's at the discretion of the border watch. Now Mr–I've–Got–Cash–To–Burn here has said we're staying at the Grange they know we can afford additional charges."
"Bullshit," John snapped. "They know we mean business and they'll process us quickly. They charge everyone additional charges." Rachel swallowed and glanced away. They were coming back.
The policeman tapped on the window again. "Hundred to pass," he said.
"Last month it was sixty," John growled.
Rachel cowered back in the chair, she couldn't believe it – he was fucking haggling! It took every ounce of control not to reach out and strangle him.
"Rates have gone up."
"Seventy," John replied.
The watchman hesitated. "Eighty."
John conceded. "Fine, but I want a receipt."
And that delayed them another ten minutes while they wrote it up.

The Pros and Cons of Owning The Essential Phone
It's made of unique materials and comes with a magnetic 360 camera, but some say it can be improved and is too hard to repair.
If you haven't heard of it yet, Essential Phone, which is now available in Canada, is a premium smartphone developed by American entrepreneur, venture capitalist and CEO Andy Rubin.
Rubin is co-founder and CEO of Android Inc., which was bought out by Google back in 2005 for around $50 million, and the brains behind Android systems in general. Kind of amazing. This new phone seeks to take on the smartphone world, and is setting its goals in the heavens.
The company seeks to achieve the kind of relationship Apple has built with its iPhone fans.
Thinking of switching? Here are some of the pros and cons of taking the leap and buying an Essential Phone:
1) It's Beautiful
The Essential Phone is a sleek premium smartphone that rivals those of other top Android smartphone producers like Google and Samsung. With a large screen and a relatively small body, it's a unique mixture of elements in the smartphone world. Buyers can choose from white, black, gray or green.
2) It Uses the Same Hardware as Other Top Rated Phones
As you might expect, this phone comes loaded with the same hardware inside other top-rated Android phones, which makes sense as the creator was a developer of the initial Android system itself.
The Essential comes with 128 GB of storage, a Qualcomm 835 processor, and 4GB of RAM.
3) It Has as Huge Screen
The screen is a distinct part of the Essential. It's built to be edge-to-edge and while this isn't something consumers haven't seen before, this one is a bit different.
The screen is 5.7-inches which is bigger than what's offered on an iPhone 7 Plus or Pixel XL but the phone itself is smaller and on par with the iPhone 7 and Pixel.
4) It Comes With a 360 Degree Camera That Snaps on the Back
One of the keynote features of the Essential is that it comes with a 360 camera that you can attach to the phone with magnets. The device is the first in what its makers promise to be a long line of devices compatible with a new system for wireless module accessories to come.

5) It's Easy to View
The display comes in 2560 x 1312 pixels, and is easily viewable in sunlight; a must in a premium phone.
6) It's Unique in Terms of Materials
If you want to put your money towards a device that stands out, this could be it. It's built with a titanium rail, a ceramic back and loaded with Gorilla Glass 5 on the front.
7) It's Durable
The Essential's unique materials are said to make it more durable than some other premium smartphones. The titanium is supposed to make it less susceptible to cracking when dropped, and the ceramic back is scratch-resistant.
8) The Battery Is Solid
Critics have found the battery to last all day and then some, putting the device on par with other premium phones.
1) It's Very Hard to Repair
The Essential Phone has been given a 1 out of 10 by iFixit on the repairability scale. Apparently, it's incredibly hard to get the phone open prompting iFixit to declare that "Any attempt at repair is likely to inflict as much damage as it fixes."
2) It Has an LCD Screen
Standing out from some competition, this phone comes equipped with an LCD screen instead of OLED. Because of this, the Essential Phone won't work with VR headsets like Google Daydream.
3) There is No Standard 3.5mm Headphone Jack
This feature is missing. The phone does come with a USB-C dongle, though.
4) The Camera Could Be Improved
According to reviewers like the Verge.com, the Essential Phone's camera is good but it doesn't quite compete with the very best smartphone cameras out there. Why? Other phones may be faster and do better in low-light settings.
5) It Isn't Waterproof
Don't drop it in the toilet via your back pocket.
6) There's No Wireless Charging
Perhaps this is to come? At the moment, it's not an option for Essential Phone users.
To buy an Essential Phone in Canada, check out Telus, or Best Buy.

What's New?
These varieties of miniature plants and trees are suitable for use in smaller containers. Whether you are making an alpine trough, succulent hypertufa planter, bonsai garden, fairy garden or miniature garden, you will need small, rather slow growing trees and plants. Even miniatures require pruning or an occasional trim to maintain the petite size or to encourage rebloom. For more information about individual miniature trees and miniature plants, follow the links to find a useful description for each variety.
When choosing miniature trees or miniature plants for a small-scale garden, let your imagination run free. The process is almost like painting a scene on a canvas. Start by picturing a "life-size" plant. Next, find a comparable miniature tree or plant to place in the garden. Magically this tiny plant becomes a large shrub in a flower bed or a majestic tree in the woodlands of the miniature world. Need a lawn? For a lawn, plant Baby Tears to establish lush, green grass in the front yard of the cottage. Be creative when planning the greenery for your miniature fairy garden.
Contrary to conventional wisdom, some trees and plants can successfully be left in their plastic pots and planted right into the container or garden. Using this technique restricts the growth of the miniature tree or miniature plant. They will be root bound by the end of the season, but during that growing period the trees and plants will retain their size much better than if they were planted directly in the soil. Remember to pay a little more attention to the watering! This method works very well for plants like fairy vine, sedum, or topiaries, but not for spreading ground cover plants. Use the same technique for miniature trees too. Consider planting miniature woody evergreens in their pots to keep the small size during the growing season.
