Recurring Transactions
SWREG offers to ability to completely automate weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annual recurring/subscription orders. The recurring order functionality offers the ability to have multiple products in the same order with different recurring timeframes. Subscriptions apply to credit card orders only.
Reports can be processed within the main reporting area of your store. To limit the reports to only master or child orders you will select those options under "Order Type".
The most common setup method is a recurring profile. To setup up a profile you first need to create the product that will recur under the "Create/Edit Products" area. Next, from the main menu, follow these steps:
- Click the "Recurrence Profiles" link
- Click the "Add" button
- Enter your "Profile Name" which is for your reference only
- Select the "Frequency" or how often you want the order to recur
- Select the "Day of the Month", recommended is the default "Automatic" so the order recurs on the same date as the original order. You can also select "Automatic" and then adjust the day of the month by + or - a number of days, i.e. my initial order was placed on the 3rd, now monthly it will recur on the 4th of the month.
- Select Yes or No for "Pre-bill Notifications", best practice is Yes. We will send an email one week and 24 hours before the recurrence so the customer can opt-out if desired.
- Select the "Billing Repetition"
- Save your Recurrence Profile
- Next, add products to the profile by selecting the "Add" button which will initiate a modal window where you can select the product you want. Any products already assigned to a profile will show, but cannot be selected for this profile. Click "Save" in the modal once the products are selected.
- Optionally you can select a "Price Variance" for those product(s) that can be a positive or negative amount. For example, if I want my setup product of $250.00 to recur every time for $50 after that initial purchase, I would enter -200.00 into the price variance.
- Click "Save" for this new profile, and it is now active.
The recurring functionality has the ability to a "trial" period where we will check the credit card and won't bill them until the certain timeframe has passed. To set this up, a product for $0 needs to be created and assigned to the recurring profile with all the recurrence rules. A price variance will need to be on the profile for the amount to be billed after the initial profile frequency has passed. When that product is ordered we will check the card with a $0.01 authorization, and if successful, will process the order. SWREG will then charge the customer the variance amount on the first recurrence and going forward.
To note: The system will only process a product for $0 if it is a recurring product that has a profile assigned to it.
There is also the option to set up an order to recur after the order is placed. To do this, go to "Recurrence Profiles" and then input the order number into the "Manual Order Setup". Then, you will set the same specifications for that specific order.
Finally, there is the ability to pay any affiliates for recurring or subscription orders. To select this option, login to the SWREG control panel and select "Configuration." In the "Setting" area, "Affiliate Tracking," make your selection accordingly.
To Stop a Master Order:
- Click "Show Orders"
- Go to "Quick Actions" and enter order number in the "Bulk Master Order Stop"
- Click "Go" and then the order will be disabled.
- You can also stop multiple orders by inputting a list with each master order number on a new line
To Retry a Failed Child Order:
- Click "Show Orders"
- Go to "Quick Actions" and enter order number in the "Bulk Child Order Retry"
- Click "Go" and then we will attempt to reprocess the order.
- You can also retry multiple child orders by inputting a list with each order number on a new line
To See Details on an Enabled Master Order:
- Click "Show Orders"
- Go to "Quick Actions" and enter order number in the "Go to Order No"
- The order details will show that master orders status of Enabled or Disabled
- Click on the Enabled or Disabled link
- The page shows the specific settings for that master order
- If the master order is Disabled, you can Enable it here
You can also see on the order details all child orders associated with that master order and their status.
Altering a Recurring Order through our API
API Usage
The API provides a way for you to alter some characteristics of a recurring order. You can integrate the API within your systems or customized deliverables to your customer. To use this API you will need to be able to POST data to a URL and parse the results. It is recommended that you use standard toolsets available for your platform or application to ensure all data is encoded and decoded in a standard and compliant manner. The API is designed to conform to RESTful design principles.
General integration details
- The service's base URL is: https://www.swreg.org/app/resource/recurringorder/%ORDER_NO%. You will need to replace "%ORDER_NO%" with the order number you are wanting to modify.
- The service must be accessed over SSL. Non-SSL requests will be denied.
- Your REST client will need to authenticate using HTTP Basic Authentication. The system will use your shop ID as the username and the "API password" as configured in the "Author and Payment Details > Passwords" section of the vendor admin area as the password.
- The order number you pass in the URL can optionally include the currency prefix (i.e. "U", "G" or "E") but it is not required.
- You must POST to this URL. No other HTTP verbs (i.e. HEAD, GET, PUT, DELETE) are supported at this time.
- In typical REST fashion, HTTP status codes are used to indicate success or failure. In general, status codes less than 400 indicate success while status codes 400 and above indicate failures. Additional details related to the failure are typically included in the body of the response for debugging purposes.
- Data for this call may be posted in simple URL-encoded format or other standard data formats including JSON or YAML. XML is not currently supported.
Enable/Disable a Master Order
This method provides a way for you to disable or enable a recurring master order, as long as you have the order number. An example is listed below, under "Integration Examples".
To disable an order, send a POST request to the URL listed above, with the value disabled=1.
To enable an order, send a POST request to the URL listed above, with the value disabled=0.
Change the next billing date of an order
This method provides a way for you to change the next billing date of a recurring order, as long as you have the order number. The order must already be in a processed state for the date to be changed.
To use, send a POST request to the URL listed above, with the value newdate=YYYY-MM-DD. Replace YYYY-MM-DD with the desired date. For example, to set the date to June 1, 2020, send newdate=2020-06-01.
Retry a failed order
This method provides a way for you to retry a failed recurring order. If an order resulted in a declined or rejected card, you are able to attempt an additional transaction against that child order. Note that this functionality will not allow you to retry an order for reasons other than a processing failure.
To use, send a POST request to the URL listed above, with /retry
appended to the end, replacing %ORDER_NO% with the master order number.
Child order numbers will not be accepted. A proper retry URL will look
like this, before replacing with a proper order number:
Integration Examples:
This is the most portable method as it can be used with any programming language that can execute an external program and use the input. It does force you to manually do some parts of the process however so it should be considered secondary to any native library that allows you to execute HTTP POSTs.
% curl -i --user %SHOP_ID%:%PASSWORD% --data disabled=0 \ https://www.swreg.org/app/resource/recurringorder/%ORDER_NO%
This outputs a response that should look something like this:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2009 13:51:52 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.14 (Unix) mod_fastcgi/2.4.6 Vary: Content-Type,Authorization Content-Length: 32 X-Catalyst: 5.800007 Connection: close Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded message=no+updates+made+to+order
You will need to parse and evaluate the output (most importantly the status code from the first line and any messages in the body).
This provides a richer interface (response parsing, etc) but does require knowledge of Perl programming (see the LWP::UserAgent documentation).
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use LWP::UserAgent; my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(); $ua->credentials('www.swreg.org:443','vendor-api','12345','secret'); my $response = $ua->post( 'https://www.swreg.org/app/resource/recurringorder/%ORDER_NO%', {disabled => 1} ); if ($response->is_success) { # handle success here print $response->content; } else { # handle errors here... print $response->as_string; }
Other Languages
Any modern programming language should provide a native HTTP toolset that should allow you to do similar things to the above.
Email Notifications to Vendors
Every morning we will send out batch emails with any orders that failed during the attempt to complete. The email will contain the order number, reason for failure, and the master order number for each child order.

Tall Spandex Yoga Pants – Whether you are completely new to yoga or have already been training for a long time, this manual aims to offer useful guidelines for choosing your next set of Tall Spandex Yoga Pants. Our evaluators teaching and have been training for a long time, and even they learned a thing or two during our side-by-side testing process.
Tall Spandex Yoga Pants source: www.nyfifth.com
The first thought you need to make when choosing a Tall Spandex Yoga Pants is what length and design is best for you personally and also the type of yoga you practice. No one wants their poses inhibited by their clothes, nor do they want to use something that is unflattering or uncomfortable. We individually have a variety of programs in our cabinets. Capris are excellent for hot summer days or even hotter heated lessons, but we choose to use full-length yoga pants in the winter or when running errands around town. For components there are three alternatives which are synthetics, cotton- blend and also manufactures provide characteristics for each Tall Spandex Yoga Pants including gussets, key pocket, colors or designs, seaming and rise.
It's easy to get caught right up in the style element of the training as the popularity of yoga and also the yoga apparel industry increases. Fundamentally, yoga is about achieving liberation from the period of death and birth, and encountering the true self of one, regardless of that which you've on.

ICE ecocystems: Polar bear
Decreasing sea ice is leaving more bears stranded on shore during the summer months. ICE Polar bear will explore the body condition and reproductive status of polar bears in relation to changing physical conditions. Special attention will be paid to where bears den over the next few years.
The specific primary hypotheses to be addressed will be: female polar bears stranded on land will have lower condition, lower reproductive success (higher offspring mortality), smaller ranges and less dependence on marine food.

The headline for this story has been changed. The property is 10 acres in size, but the proposed building is a 100,000-square-foot medical office.
HESPERIA — Kaiser Permanente has recently purchased property in the High Desert as the medical provider eyes possible expansion of its health network.
The site of Kaiser's proposed 100,000-square-foot medical office will be situated on 10 acres on Escondido Avenue, just south of Main Street and west of the Walmart Supercenter in Hesperia.
"We're very excited to have Kaiser come to Hesperia to open a facility that will serve their many clients," Mayor Russ Blewett said. "We look forward to working with them to get their project started and we pray for the day they decide to possibly build a hospital here."
Kaiser officials did not respond to messages left by the Daily Press and no timeline for construction of the project or services available at the new facility to Kaiser members were provided.
Senior Vice President of Lee and Associates of Ontario Mike Harrison, who represented the seller and Kaiser, told the Daily Press there were several factors that attracted Kaiser to the Hesperia location.
"We looked at several sites all over the High Desert, but the site Kaiser chose fit the bill for what they wanted," Harrison said. "The property is close to Main Street, which seems to be ground zero for new development. There's a lot of rooftops nearby, new retail, hotels and Interstate 15 — there was no close second for them."
Currently, the High Desert Medical Offices on Park Avenue in Victorville is the closest available Kaiser-based medical facility for its nearly 65,000 members living in the High Desert region.
Some available services for members in Victorville include: Advice nurse, injections, laboratory, mammograms, pediatrics, physical therapy, pharmacy, treatment nurse, classes, radiology/diagnostic imaging, retinal photos, urgent care; and family and internal medicine.
Local members must travel to Kaiser-owned hospitals and facilities in Fontana, Ontario, Riverside and other locations in Southern California for many services, including: Behavioral medicine, cardiology, chemical dependency, emergency medicine, endocrinology, gastroenterology, hospital services, surgery, ICU, neurology and radiation oncology.
There is no word from Kaiser regarding the future of its Victorville facility.
Considered the largest managed care organization in the U.S., Kaiser serves nearly 12 million members in eight states and Washington D.C.
Kaiser has been aggressive in its expansion, with the medical provider working to add 200,000-square feet of new offices and more than 500 parking spaces at its Redwood City campus, the Mercury News reported this month.
They also opened a 57,000-square-foot outpatient complex alongside Highway 101 in Ventura last week. The site offers optometry, orthopedics, obstetrics-gynecology, cancer infusion, gastroenterology, podiatry, laboratory services and other care, the Ventura County Star said.
In 2104, Kaiser unveiled its new 8,700-square-foot high-tech, environmentally friendly medical office building next to its existing multi-story building on Park Avenue.
The single-story building, with 16 exam rooms, was designed for primary care services that include family medicine, pediatrics, internal medicine, allergy and physical therapy.
"The recent Kaiser deal is not only a win for Hesperia, but for all its members across the High Desert," Blewett said. "I look forward to the day they serve their first member here."

Thomas Foss (Lead Designer of Neverwinter) and Chantelle Tatum (Systems Designer) teamed up to make a video to tease the Neverwinter fans about the new Ravenloft update launching next week. This video tour previews some of the exciting features of the new module, including the hunts, the new dungeon, and more!
This module starts with Lord Neverember asking you to investigate the new group of travelers in town, the Vistani. After defeating an attacking group of wolves, the Vistani grant you a token of Vistani Brotherhood, allowing you to have free passage between Barovia and the Sword Coast.
Madam Eva is the Vistani's Spiritual Matriarch/Seer. She gives you a Tarokka card when you first enter Barovia. She also gives Tarokka readings before each hunt. Like the Yeti "hunt" in Bryn Shander, you follow your hunt mark to three locations, which are to be guessed at based on the hints you receive in your Tarokka reading. Don't worry, these hints aren't difficult. The hunts take place in a special instance. This means that there aren't other adventurers running around, but the zone mobs are still around, so you will want to choose your path carefully.
In addition to the new zone of Barovia, Mod 14 will also include a new dungeon: Castle Ravenloft! Your party must locate three artifacts of power and defeat Strahd's sisters and minions, before coming face to face with Strahd Von Zarovich himself!
The Ravenloft update also has some new features, including a Day and Night cycle. While running through Barovia, the border around your mini-map will show you whether it's day or night, and how close the sunrise or sunset will be. The land of Barovia also features some classic mobs, including witches, werewolves, and scarecrows. Prepare for Barovia and all of its mysteries by getting your item level up to 13,000!

Tottenham Hotspur defender Toby Alderweireld has suggested that he could stay at the club, despite reports of a stall in talks over a new contract.
The Belgian international has been in talks with the club for over a year about extending his deal in North London, but no significant progress has been made.
Speaking to Sky Sports News, Alderweireld admitted uncertainty over his short-term future with Spurs.
"I have two years left on my contract. I don't know what is going to happen," the 29-year-old said.
Manchester United have been linked with the centre-back, but are reportedly considering alternatives to his signature.

In September 2015 the UK pledged to welcome 20,000 refugees from Syria over the next five years.
East Sussex district and borough councils have agreed to support the resettlement of vulnerable Syrian families who have fled war zones. Many refugees have experienced traumas such as torture, the deaths of loved ones and the loss of everything they own. They have fled in a desperate search for safety, the majority with young children.
Eastbourne, Lewes, Wealden and Rother councils have each agreed to resettle 40 people with Hastings Borough Council pledging to resettle 100 people over the next five years.
Since November, working closely with the Government and a range of key partners including health, education and voluntary and community groups, the East Sussex Syrian Resettlement Programme has resettled 22 people including grandparents and children. And in January, a further 22 people including extended families will be resettled in East Sussex.
"Wealden has been playing its part in the resettlement programme with the first family now settling in," said Councillor Graham Wells, Cabinet member for housing. "They are escaping the ravages of a terrible war. I am sure local people will help them feel welcome.
"Finding suitable affordable accommodation is difficult, so we need your help in being able to resettle Syrian vulnerable families into this area. If you are a private landlord with family sized accommodation available at the local housing allowance rate that you would be willing to let to a Syrian family, please contact us at email@example.com to find out more."
East Sussex Community and Faith Action (ESCAFA) is helping support Vulnerable Syrian Families and has been working with councils to bring together individuals and community and faith groups across East Sussex who are interested in supporting the families coming into the area.

Flobby Rotten is a minor character in LazyTown. He is one of three goons hired by Robbie Rotten to help him with his villainous plans. Flobby appears in the episode "Robbie's Dream Team".
Flobby is a member of a trio of actors who perform at weddings, birthdays, parties, and the like. His two colleagues are Bobby and Tobby Rotten. He is the shortest of the bunch and cannot speak, which is not an impediment for his natural inquisitive and joyful behavior. He can be seen mouthing the words to "We Are Number One" during the musical sequence of "Robbie's Dream Team".
Although he plays the role of a villain, he does not seem to have bad intentions whatsoever, and apparently does not even know what being a villain is about.
Flobby looks very similar to the other Robbies. He wears a two-piece suit of maroon and purple with gold pinstripes, formal shoes, a navy blue shirt with cuffs and cuff links. He is the shortest of the bunch.

2NE1 (CL, BOM, DARA & MINZY) wrapped up their World Tour in Malaysia in huge success.
At the 2nd World Tour "ALL OR NOTHING" held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on May 24, 2NE1 was joined by 4,000 local fans. This was the divas' second visit to the country since their first World Tour "New Evolution" in 2012.
Appearing in dynamic outfits, 2NE1 opened up the stage with their 2nd album "CRUSH." Under innovative stage direction, the quartet performed a total of 21 songs, including ones from their 2nd full album such as "COME BACK HOME," "GOTTA BE YOU," and "SCREAM," and others like "I AM THE BEST," and "I DON'T CARE."
2NE1's latest concert was upgraded by world-renowned directors Travis Payne and Stacey Walker, along with a world-famous performance planning company Live Nation that was also involved in World Tours of Lady Gaga, Madonna and U2. The local fans enthusiastically joined 2NE1 by singing along the songs in Korean.
After the concert, DARA thanked the fans by tweeting, "Thank you so much Blackjack Malaysia!!! We had so much fun tonight!!! We love you!!! 🙂"
On May 17, the date that marked 2NE1's 5th anniversary, the quartet was in Manila, the Philippines, for the World Tour. They had a special time celebrating with the fans who sent them cakes of various colors. Now as they have successfully ended the concert in Malaysia, they will be moving on to Jakarta, Indonesia, for a performance on June 8.

Medical ethicists challenge court ruling on lethal injection in Alabama case
From the article:
Court orders demanding death row inmates to provide "specific, detailed and concrete alternatives" to a state's lethal injection protocol compel those inmates to produce evidence that is impossible to obtain without forcing physicians and other clinicians to violate their medical ethics, according to Harvard bioethicists and legal experts.
Such orders, therefore, the experts argue, pose an insurmountable hurdle for inmates seeking alternative methods of execution.
These are two of the central arguments outlined in a recent amicus brief (or "friend of the court") submitted to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit by a group of scholars from the Harvard Medical School (HMS) Center for Bioethics, the Harvard Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology and Bioethics (the Petrie-Flom Center) at Harvard Law School, and other institutions.

Rating: 4/5
This is the third book in the Phryne Fisher series.
The Honuorable Phryne Fisher has arranged to go to Ballarat for a week, but finds herself waking up on the train filled with poisonous gas, and after saving all but one of the other passengers, finds herself trying to figure out who murdered the old woman who died.
Again, what a joy this series is to read!
The mysteries in this book are really excellent, and quite a lot better than the ones in the second book. Everything is intertwined and exciting. Melbourne works as a perfect backdrop, as does the 1920's, and there's always something rather charming about trains and travel, even if it does involve a gruesome murder.
Phryne is badass as always and an absolute joy to go on adventures with. I can't wait to read the next book in this series already!

$FREE on 1/31/2018 – The Demon Made Her Do It: The Mad Scientist by Charlene Hunt
The pursuit of pure science leads to some very strange places…
Lacey falls under the care of a solicitous doctor, who is intrigued by his patient's extreme responsiveness and potential for a surprising transformation. Little does the good doctor know that it is all thanks to Lacey's service to the sex demon Stygos, whose invisible touch keeps her in a constant state of arousal.
Soon Lacey agrees to become an experimental subject in the doctor's private basement laboratory, where she'll face her most unusual challenge yet. As she reaches greater and greater heights of ecstasy under the doctor's care, she learns that her experimental transformation will also nourish a swarm of thirsty demon imps beholden to her master. These creatures may be small in stature, but they are large where it counts. Can their fiendish appetites help Lacey achieve the release she so desperately needs?
The Author / Publisher advised that this title was available for $FREE (or local equivalent), discounted from $2.99 on 1/31/2018 at the following retailers:

Do you need to market a service or product, but are uncertain how to begin? If that's the case, you really need to look at Facebook marketing. It is a great platform that could allow you access to a large number of people. Keep reading through the below advice to get you going in the right direction.
All posts must be done professionally. While there is a generally relaxed atmosphere on Facebook, you still want your business to come across as competent and professional. This will help to increase the credibility of your page.
If you are using Facebook for business, do it professionaly. While social media sites provide a relaxed atmosphere, your business still needs a professional appearance. If you stay professional, people will trust you.
Always respond to comments written about you or to you on Facebook. That means monitoring your wall and also any @ messages about your company (for example, @Nestle). Reply to them, especially if it is someone who needs customer service or has a complaint.
Facebook Ads
Your Facebook page should be a clearinghouse that makes it easy for followers and visitors to find your other online presences. If your site has a blog, include a summary and then link the posts automatically via your Facebook. It's also possible to rig it so that any time you post a tweet, it is immediately posted to your Facebook wall.
Try your hand at Facebook ads. Posting on your page only goes so far. To really maximize your marketing efforts, you should purchase Facebook ads. They generally do not cost a lot, and they can help you a lot.
Think about creating your own group rather than just a page. The group can lead to a community on Facebook, where your customers can exchange comments and ideas. You can use both a group and a page to ensure your followers get updates from your page and can discuss it or share their own information in the group.
Do not ignore any questions or comments that are asked of you on Facebook. If a person has taken the time to reach out to you, thank them for their time and answer any query they have as quickly as possible. Do not hesitate to share a link to your site if an article or page perfectly answers their question.
If you use custom audiences you will be able to use email addresses of the current customers you have to send them targeted ads. Your goal is to convert leads into sales, which improves your return on investment for your advertising campaigns.
Custom Tabs
Before you do anything else, you must build your audience. This means that your focus should be on building your follower count until you have around 5,000 people following you. This will allow you to market to a larger audience so that your expenses do not go to waste.
Custom tabs can help you make your Facebook marketing strategies more efficient. Custom tabs let you optimize information on your page for visitors that betters your business. Deals, contests and promotions can be organized with their own tabs.
You must not forget your current customer base. There are people that just want likes and then they forget about existing fans. If you want to do well with Facebook marketing you are going to have to respect your audience. This gets customers truly engaged in your company.
Never neglect your existing base. People often focus on new customers and tend to forget about the old. A respected audience is a happy audience. This will help fortify your brand and personality.
Look into a Facebook advertisement to sell your product. They can be customized to target folks of given ages or gender categories. There are many budget tools to work with as well. There isn't a commitment, either. You are able to discontinue your ad at any time.
Consider buying some Facebook ads. The ad can be targeted to users of a certain gender or age. There are many budget tools to work with as well. And best of all, you are not committed long term. Your ad can be ceased at any time.
Host a giveaway to increase interest to your Facebook page. Give something away for free to a select group of customers who sign up to be on your mailing list or who "like" your Facebook page. It won't cost you a lot to do and you'll be in touch with a lot more people which can make you money in the long run.
If someone posts on your wall, answer them. If someone takes the time to contact you, it is important that you talk to them. These messages are almost like phone calls. You wouldn't ignore a call, so you shouldn't ignore a message.
Any company that doesn't regularly deal with customers doesn't really need to have a Facebook page. There is no reason for these customers to see the daily happenings at your company. Invest your marketing dollars in a targeted Facebook ad instead.
Speak with your fans so they can be involved with the decisions you need to make as a business. They'll love to feel so important. These are the best minds to tap into for opinions. For example, if you blog, try asking them what kinds of posts they would like to read.
A great way to boost conversion of visitors to followers is by hiding content from those who are not yet fans. When only followers can see certain parts of your page, it will make visitors want to become followers. However, only small amounts of content should be hidden so that it doesn't affect your SEO.
Make sure you try your best to give your brand a personality. Marketing materials should be periodically refreshed to keep them current and relevant, which sells the idea that your brand is also current and relevant. Have a little bit of personality while remaining as professional as possible when you can.
It's imperative that you keep your audience up-to-date. Having said that, avoid posting numerous times per day. Instead, just post once per day or two. Your updates should provide valuable, fresh content that your customers are interested in.
Always make sure to allow comments on your Facebook pages. It may seem smart to keep bad comments away from your page, but really it creates the perception that you have zero interest in hearing from your customers.
Event sharing can be very important to your bottom line on Facebook. For instance, if you go to trade shows, you can make an event that has this and allows others that follow or "like" your page to share. This is an excellent tool for reminding your customers of the event.
Ask your followers to interact with each other. If there is a conversation occurring about a posting, only intervene if it gets negative or nasty. Do not delete posts, as the user will probably stop following your page. The main reason you should ever get involved is when the thread is becoming offensive or racist.
You need to have a thorough understanding of Facebook before you begin. The more you are in the know, the more you will be able to use the features. Take a look at the help section on the Facebook site to teach yourself as much as you can. This advantage will pay off for you.
You should have a much better idea of how you can use Facebook for marketing after going over this article. Remember what you have learned and get started. When your number of followers grows, you'll be thankful for all you've learned.
If your business runs a store or outlet, you should enable the check-in capability on Facebook. Allow users to update their status when they check in at your place of business. It's a nice thing to offer, and your customers' friends will be able to see your store too.

Ahead of her postponed new album, It's Not Me, It's You (renamed from Stuck on the Naughty Step), Lily has previewed one of the songs on her MySpace Page (linkage) – Everyone's At It.
Whilst I like it musically, I'm not so keen on the subject matter – drugs! Whilst admitting to drug taking herself, the song wonders when it will stop and when people will admit to it. Hopefully the rest of the songs on the album will be better than this one, time will tell!

Our heart goes out to those in need but our instinct is usually right. Those scammers are everywhere. Good for you for finding him out and warned the staff at the station.
Hugs, Julia
Quite the adventure and 'lesson learned'.ReplyDelete
when i visit new york city, oy-vey, the streets are lined with good stories!! i enjoyed the pictures of the city!!ReplyDelete
I have been caught too. And have decided (self-justification) that I will still help from time to time. I susepct (and I may be naive) that there are more people who do need help than scammers.ReplyDelete
Aren't we all on the wrong end of being savvy storytellers?!! lol!ReplyDelete
Long ago I never gave anyone more than $2. Now I tell them all that I don't carry money anymore.ReplyDelete
The cheek of that man - $5.00 indeed. At least it wasn't a large sum of money.ReplyDelete
Hugs M xox
Now that's a good story! I'm always nervous when I see people like this even in quiet downtown Fredericton but more so in any large city, although the only one we frequent is Calgary and never in an area where those types might be. I'm sure the family he approached was relieved by your boldness. We need to be aware of our surroundings at all times, even in our little city.ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh, that's horrible. That makes my blood boil. There was a "trendy" kind of money scam going on a while back. Usually young men, would approach women alone and say their car was broken down and they needed to raise about $100 for a tow. They'd be sitting by the car saying it wouldn't start. I heard about this one so many times, people felt sorry for them. I think that these types of nasty people are the worst because they play on your sympathies and you feel so duped after. Sorry you lost your $5, I would have got a cop after him.ReplyDelete
Oh Grace; naive, brave and risk taker; all rolled into one story. I once had an elderly lady at Union Station ask me to watch over her luggage while she bought something to eat. She is the polar opposite of your scammer and would make an great mark for him. Glad you were safe.ReplyDelete
There was a guy we met in Spain who said his car had been towed. He had very posh English and we were almost taken in but Dad ended up telling him to stuff it. A quick google revealed that a lot of people had been taken in by him.ReplyDelete
Glad you were able to cut his "business venture" short!ReplyDelete
I gave $20 to a man in a parking lot a few years ago. He looked so desperate. Later, when I went back to give him more, I discovered he was a panhandler spinning lies for sympathy. I decided at that time, that if I give someone money out of compassion and it turns out to be a mistake, I have gained more than I have lost because compassion is priceless. The scammers, on the other hand, may have gained a few dollars, but they are bleeding their souls. Nothing is worth a seared conscience.ReplyDelete

Callenish Circle - Forbidden Empathy (
This fabulous melodic death metal quintet is still fairly unknown in the United States, til now. Hollands'
Callenish Circle
have actually released 2 albums prior to the Metal Blade releases, giving them 4 albums. This, however, is not their fifth album and Candlelight records have been gracious enough to present this to us. "Forbidden Empathy" is a double disc collection of their remastered earlier material (1992-2002). Everything from their early sold-out demo material, to their first two full-lengths, and also their acclaimed "Escape"-mcd!! The music on these discs is, of course, reminiscent of the music they play now with a bit more of a melodic edge. Kind of the same direction Dark Tranquillity went from their early material to their more straightforward melodic aggression. Back to Callenish- the music doesn't sound aged at all either. What I mean by this is, the tightness of the band is great and there aren't a lot of amateurish, raw-sounding performances. I like this a lot! I'm glad they decided to release this for us over here! As many other 'zines have mentioned in one way or another, this is an essential release and most certainly, an essential band to have book-marked in your metal collections!! Great stuff. You must check this out... and also, look out for their new album later in 2005 on Metal Blade!

Posted on by Open Systems Architecturesin
By Donald Firesmith
Principal Engineer
Software Solutions Division
Due to advances in hardware and software technologies, Department of Defense (DoD) systems today are highly capable and complex. However, they also face increasing scale, computation, and security challenges. Compounding these challenges, DoD systems were historically designed using stove-piped architectures that lock the Government into a small number of system integrators, each devising proprietary point solutions that are expensive to develop and sustain over the lifecycle. Although these stove-piped solutions have been problematic (and unsustainable) for years, the budget cuts occurring under sequestration are motivating the DoD to reinvigorate its focus on identifying alternative means to drive down costs, create more affordable acquisition choices, and improve acquisition program performance. A promising approach to meet these goals is Open Systems Architecture (OSA), which combines
This blog posting expands on earlier coverage of how acquisition professionals and system integrators can apply OSA practices to effectively decompose large monolithic business and technical architectures into manageable and modular solutions that can integrate innovation more rapidly and lower total ownership costs.
What is OSA and How Should It Be Applied?
By definition, an OSA is any system (or software) architecture that exhibits the following three beneficial characteristics:
By mandating contractors to engineer OSA (e.g., via Better Buying Power 3.0), government acquisition organizations hope to achieve several benefits, two of the most important of which are to increase competition among developers of the architectural components and to avoid vendor lock when it comes to acquiring and updating these components. Given these benefits, government program offices may get the impression at first glance that all system architectures should be completely open. This impression is especially true when one considers the DoD policies (such as DoDI 5000.02) that require program offices to ensure defense contractors produce open system architectures.
One critical word in the definition of open system architectures, however, reveals this initial impression to be false. The definition does not state that all interfaces must conform to open interface standards, but rather only key interfaces must be open. Moreover, if one examines actual system architectures, one quickly learns that openness is not black and white but rather a matter of degree. Some interfaces are highly open (e.g., they conform to widely used international standards), some interfaces are relatively open (i.e., they conform to less-widely used, more application-domain-specific standards or widely used de facto standards), some interfaces are slightly open (e.g., they conform to product-line-specific conventions), and some interfaces are essentially closed (i.e., they are system-unique or conform to contractor-proprietary "standards").
Steps to Producing an OSA
Several steps required to produce an OSA are described below.
In theory and if all things were equal, it would be good if all architectural components were modular and open. In practice, however, all things are not equal and other quality attributes (such as dependability, performance, robustness, safety, and security) may be more important than openness alone for some architectural components. Perfectly good reasons may therefore exist for why these components should not be open or at most partially open. For example, conforming to a specific open interface standard may decrease system performance or have negative security ramifications. In other words, when engineering a system architecture, the architects must weigh competing requirements (especially the non-functional quality attributes) against each other, and openness is only one such requirement to consider when making engineering and business trade-offs.
In summary, architects of OSA-based solutions should forego openness in those parts of the system and software architecture where the following conditions hold:
When decisions are made to use closed or relatively unopen architectures, it is important to document the associated rationales and justifications. This documentation is invaluable when trade-offs and choices regarding openness must be revisited (e.g., due to rapid changes in technologies and the emphasis on obtaining needed capabilities by integrating independent systems into systems-of-systems).
Note that nothing in the above justifies ignoring openness, and it should not be misused as an excuse to engineer a closed system architecture. Program offices should ensure that integrators provide adequate justification for the relatively or completely closed parts of the system architecture and that they are not avoiding openness to avoid competition and ensure vendor lock.
Although an OSA will almost certainly result in important benefits (especially if openness is maintained through the development and lifecycle), both DoD policy and good system/software architecture engineering recognize that a 100-percent open system architecture is typically unachievable. Moreover, openness must be weighed against competing requirements to obtain the best architectural solution.

This post has been inspired by a postcard sent to me by my dear friend Sarah from Goose Home and Garden. She also sent me a beautiful old guide book of Sussex as that is where we are spending our holidays this summer; two whole weeks by the seaside in Agatha the caravan.
We are also blessed with living on the north east coast within easy reach of many a lovely stretch of sandy beach and the openness of the sprawling wild waters of the North Sea. We love going for long walks along our coast line, blowing away the cobwebs or having fun in the sand dunes in warmer months.
My Images Above ~ Instagram
I always come home with a pocket full of shells or driftwood that I can't quite manage to leave behind, they make for wonderful still life displays around the home.
The ever changing colour palette is truly awe inspiring, it is said that you should always look to nature to be inspired and being by the sea really does highlight the serenity I crave.
Other Images My Pinterest Boards
To create a little bit of the seaside feel in your home without it being a bit twee is an easy thing to achieve. Using the paler end of the spectrum for wall and floor surfaces using slubby linens and natural wood within the scheme to add warmth. Glassware filled with shells, oyster baskets for storage and elements of deep browns and blues in your chosen soft furnishings will bring to look together perfectly.

Environmentalists are battling small businesses to preserve a law that would pull children's products that may contain lead and chemicals from shelves by next week.
The environmentalists won a round Thursday when a federal judge overturned a decision by a government commission and said manufacturers and retailers could not sell children's items containing phthalates, which are chemicals used to soften plastic, after Tuesday.
The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, adopted last year, bans use of phthalates in children's products. But the Consumer Product Safety Commission, which enforces the act, said retailers could sell items containing phthalates if they were manufactured before Tuesday.
The National Resources Defense Council and consumer group Public Citizen had sued to reverse the commission's decision. Without the ruling, "a consumer going to the store to buy a teething ring or any other children's product would have no idea if it contains phthalates or not," said Aaron Colangelo, senior attorney at the council.

Next week I'll be speaking on social justice and games research at Loyola University Chicago.
More information on the SIMLab facebook page.
Boundaries, Barriers, and Breaking Through:
Investigating a MMOG community through a social justice framework
As with all games, Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) are a voluntary leisure activity. However, the voluntary nature of play does not necessarily mean these gameworlds are equally open to all. To illustrate barriers to participation I present a case study of EVE Online, a space-themed MMOG with an extremely homogenous player community consisting of primarily economically advantaged white males. Drawing on four years of data collection including participant observation, surveys, interviews, and content analysis of community-created texts, I document how marginalized groups – in particular women and people of colour – are inadvertently and/or actively discouraged from participating in this popular MMOG. And yet, this lack of engagement is held up by existing community members as evidence of women's lack of interest, which in turn reinforces gender and race-based stereotypes about MMOGs and the people who opt to play them. This investigation addresses a significant gap in current research on MMOGs, which to date has yet to substantially engage in questions about who does not play online games and their reasons for disengagement.

The Fear Factor…
I have been thinking about fear a lot lately. Having lived in this state for decades, I am finally at the point where I am sure there has to be a better way. I have heard and read a lot recently about 2 zones – the love zone and the fear zone – and how our thoughts, and ultimately how we feel and act, are based in one of these two zones.
I have said for years that fear is what kept me safe and alive. Fear has driven so much of my behaviour for so long I am not sure I know how to live without it – it seems to be my default mode. I am overly cautious all the time. So now I am on a quest to start living in the love zone and it's harder than you may think. It's all about changing my thoughts – being aware of what I am thinking and feeling and realising which zone I am in. Quite eye-opening once you get started.
Fear has made me believe it was my friend but it has been lying to me. I am realising it has been my captor and I no longer want to be it's prisoner. I want to go to the grocery store without having to consider how busy it may be; go to the park or beach with friends on a sunny day without worrying about crowds; join a choir; attend meet ups even if there are lots of people going. Fear makes me think I am constantly unsafe so I have decided to break up with it. Easier said than done I am sure.
My new car is an automatic and has cruise control and when it's set, driving is almost a mindless act. Fear has been my 'cruise control' and my default for the longest time. It's time for me to switch to manual mode and be intentional about watching my thoughts and about the messages I input into my heart and mind. Not easy to do when you are tired and it's all you can do to get up and make it through the door in the morning! I am trying to watch my thoughts and the script going on in my head.
I am having glimpses of hope and it makes me long to be free from the tentacles of fear, dread, anxiety that are touching every area of my life. I want to stop hiding and avoiding and be open to new adventures and possibilities; to step out of my comfort zone.
I have gone through a large chunk of my life with a downward glance – watching the floor so as to avoid eye contact with a stranger. If I don't notice you maybe you won't notice me and it's be safer that way. But you miss so much going through life this way. I was reminded of a song that I heard as a kid – 'walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye' – that's rather confronting for someone like me. It demands courage for the socially awkward being that I have become.
The starting point, I think, is to finally accept I cannot change any of my yesterdays. But I also no longer have to let them control and affect my tomorrows. Instead of being bitter or resentful or wishing I could hit the erase button, I need to accept the past cannot be changed. My past is not my future. The sooner I can forgive myself and others, the sooner I will be able to start walking tall and truly living and loving.
Part of the process is feeling the grief and I seem to be doing that lately. I watched the movie Dumbo for the first time the other day and it completely levelled me. I found myself sobbing but unable to articulate the reason. Fortunately I was alone, safe in the confines of my home.
I am on the verge of facing a whole new set of challenges as my job gets sent to India. I want to be able to face the challenge without fear being my companion. This time I want to hold my head up high with hope and expectation that I am still useful, I can still make a difference in my world. This time I will not borrow trouble from tomorrow.
