Downloading favicon may not be truly useful. But, it comes handy if you want to design your website with buttons of your favorite social networking sites.
What are Favicons?The name Favicon is the short form for "Favorites Icon". As the name says, it is a small icon image with an extension .ico. This image is usually of the size 16x16 pixels. This small image is used by the web designers to display it on the webpage/website while browsing, while bookmarking and while viewing.
We need to understand that all the old browsers and new browsers support the .icon image format for adding a favicon to the website. Formats like .png, .gif and .jpeg may not be supported by old browsers like IE 6.
Simplest Way To Download Favicon From Website:Step 1: Go to the target website. Lets say Blogger.com.
Step 2: Just enter /favicon.ico in front of that website's URL as shown below:
Click and check it out.
Step 3: Right click on the favicon and save the image to your hard disk.
As easy as that :-)
What if the file is not in the root directory of the website?
This indicates that the file is placed somewhere else on the webserver and they have linked the image.
Then what to do?
Step 1: Go to the target site.
Step 2: View the page source (Right click on the page and click on "View Page source".)
Step 3: Search(Ctrl+F) for "shortcut icon"
Step 4: You should see something like this:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.sitename.com/images/favicon.ico"/>
Step 5: Right click on the link http://www.sitename.com/images/favicon.ico and save the icon.
You can copy the link if it doesn't allow you to right click and save. Open a new tab in your browser and go to the target favicon image to save it.
The favicon may be placed in any directory with any name for the image.
This is a small tutorial and very simple tutorial. This trick is not known to many. Hope you will find it useful somewhere in the journey of blogging and web designing. Enjoy and keep tuned.

When evaluating the business decision of choosing between a non-exclusive or exclusive deal to represent your compositions for placement in film, tv, and advertising, I've had a number of folks reach out and ask a little more info.
The great thing is, you can tweak or even use the same questions with ANY music business deal you are considering. Every case is unique and therefore, the goal should be to get as much information as possible. In that interest, I've created a list of questions that could help you spark intelligent conversations aimed to drive responses that will give you real metrics with which to you can better inform your decision-making.
While you certainly could email the following questions I would instead advise that you pick up the phone or meet in person, and have these ready to ask when it comes time to learn more about the company looking to represent your music. You will learn a lot more by speaking to someone in person than you will by reading their emailed response (if you get one).
1) Approximately how much sync revenue did they generate last year before royalties?
They're unlikely to disclose this information, so to follow-up to this question ask….
2) Do they have a reel or 1-sheet that I can see?
3) Do they take the publisher's share of the performance royalty? Is this negotiable?
4) Can you give me a rough range of how many placements you land each month? year?
5) Roughly how many ad agency music briefs do they get per month?
6) Who are their go-to TV and Film Trailer editors or houses?
7) What are current film or TV projects for which they have been solicited for music by music supervisors?
8) What channels of marketing do they use to outreach to their client-base:
9) Can you send me an example of any marketing material you send out to your clients?
Hopefully these questions will act as an excellent spring board for more in-depth investigation and help you better decide what kind of pro-active music licensing a potential business partner is able to execute.

Foreign Offshore Company
Simply put, a foreign company can be defined as a company or corporation that is incorporated in a country, state or territory, but is registered to operate in another. Introducing or establishing a company as a foreign company as opposed to as a domestic or local company may be more beneficial for various reasons depending on the company's goals and the legal regime established for foreign companies.
In establishing a foreign company, considerations of the company's directors, officers and shareholders would include factors like fiscal regime, operational structure and damage liability of the company. If considering expanding outside the regular country or jurisdiction of operations, prior research and the aforementioned factors would lead the company's officers to determine whether a foreign company should be established over domestic company, and if operating under multiple jurisdictions, be it within a single country or internationally, whether a holding structure can be created with individual domestic companies so as to isolate loss to individual companies without jeopardizing the organization on a whole, or the parent company. Company expansion must therefore be carefully planned since the setup of a foreign company would have to be designed within the context of the country or jurisdiction under which operations will be taking place.
Differing modes of entry can be used for entering new markets depending on the activities that a foreign company intends to undertake, generally namely, licensing, franchising, importing, exporting, management contracts and international investments through FD or portfolio investments.
Since business expansion across border to achieve maximized sales and earnings, involvement in international business by a domestic or foreign company would largely be influenced by the magnitude of business conducted with foreign companies, since some companies may experience sporadic business while others become overwhelmed by the business that comes in from overseas. Identifying a location outside the company's legal domicile would enable a foreign company to establish a foothold within a specific region, either where a service and set of skills may be lacking or from where most international business originates. Additional motives that encourage the creation of a foreign company, its orientation and modus operandi include seeking to improve competition against rivals, gain access to resources, supplies and new markets, and tap into specific human resources so as to leverage core competencies.
Countries or jurisdictions that are elected for registering foreign companies would typically present a series of advantages over others and offer a competitive edge that would optimize the chances of expansion locally, transnationally or internationally and maximizing profits. A foreign company may apply a transnational, global or multidomestic strategy if seeking to gain differentiation and low-cost advantages, to market a product that are standardized globally in order to create economies of scale or customize marketing strategy and products within the context of the country or territory of operations, respectively.
An ideal environment for setting up a foreign company would be one that possesses a skilled, well educated, productive and motivated labor force, ancillary industries capable of supporting the foreign company's operations and providing raw materials, meaningful tax incentives, a dependable supply of power, stable currency, political environment and economy, adequately developed transportation and communication infrastructure, economic factory lease arrangements, sufficient space for land use and is safe. Having said this, a foreign company is typically conscious of government policy towards foreign investment, since this considerably influences whether adequate resources are allocated to create a friendly environment for foreign companies and investors.
Foreign companies are integral to globalization as companies move across the world to maximize their profits and achieve economies of sale by increasing and standardizing and strengthening their product offering. A foreign company is evidence of the constant evolution of the world into a global village.

Diwali - The Festival Of Lights
Today, millions of Hindus, Jains and Sikhs all over the world are celebrating Diwali. Also known as Deepavali or the Festival of Lights, it is one of the most eagerly awaited and widely celebrated festivals of India.
The day begins with most people visiting the temple to obtain blessings from the Hindu gods. Following that, they visit friends and family and exchange gifts and Indian sweets. Since buying gold jewelry is considered very auspicious during this time, the women dress in their finest Indian attire and head to the jewelers in the afternoon.
At night, the houses in India are lit up with diyas (small oil lamps) and the skies, with colorful fireworks. What makes it fun is that these are not professional displays - Instead, everyone creates their own show by lighting up their favorite crackers. The young ones stick to the sparklers, while the older ones brave it out with the louder, more powerful fireworks. The commotion continues late into the night until the very last firecracker has exploded.
The significance behind Diwali varies amongst the different states of India. While the stories may differ, they all celebrate the triumph of good over evil! For some Hindus, Diwali also marks the end of the calendar year. Tomorrow, they will celebrate the first day of the year 2068. That is because the Hindu calendar, which is based on the lunar cycle, is 57 years ahead of the conventional Christian calendar, that we all follow.
For kids living in India, Diwali is the equivalent of Christmas in the western countries. They get a week's vacation from school, receive gifts from their parents and other relatives (no Santa Claus however!), wear beautiful clothes, eat great food and, get to play with sparklers and fireworks. Sounds fun doesn't it?
Happy Diwali!

"It's over. They made the deal, they shook hands on the deal. It's going on Saturday to the writers in general it's impossible (the rank and file writers) will turn it down. A deal has been made. They'll be back to work very soon. I know it's over."Eisner on why the writers mis-timed their labor action:
"I think this was not the time (to strike). If there was going to be a strike, it should have been three years from now when you really knew the definition of the online business and where you knew the revenues were coming. I think a lot of writers lost their deals and they will not be reinstated. I think one of the reasons that some of the companies do not have this economic problem is they cut back on a lot of those big deals."

The Utah Utes have Reggie Dunn listed as a receiver in their media guide. But more and more the senior is looking like the answer — or at least the band-aid — to Utah's hurting rushing attack.
Dunn, who was Utah's second-leading rusher behind John White in 2011, seems on the verge of re-enacting that role.
With White sidelined against BYU with an ankle injury and the other backs struggling to get yards, the Utes turned to Dunn to kick some life into the run game by springing him with short passes on the outside.
Technically he finished with six catches for 56 yards. Realistically, he felt like he was playing another position.
"I felt like I was a running back out there," he said. "But that is what those plays are for, to make something happen. Hopefully the coaches liked what they saw and will get me the ball and let me run more."
The Utes might not have much of a choice.
White is supposed to play against Arizona State, but his effectiveness is in question since he has been limited in practice this week. Freshman Jarrell Oliver, who started against the Cougars and finished with 11 carries for 24 yards, was also banged up against BYU, but is expected to play.
Junior college transfer Kelvin York and sophomore Lucky Radley combined for 13 carries for 29 yards against the Cougars, which weren't the kind of performances that usually earn more touches.
Dunn, on the other hand, is comfortable as a running threat since he was so successful in 2011. He was fourth on the team in receiving yards with 211 on 15 catches, but did most of his damage in the run game.
He averaged 11.5 yards a carry as he consistently out-juked and out-raced would-be defenders with his 4.32, 40-yard dash speed.
"It doesn't matter how I get the touches," he said. "I'll play whatever role the coaches want and just try to make the best of my opportunities."
Dunn wasn't sure how many opportunities he was going to get this year.
He fell behind other receivers on the depth chart in fall camp, then dropped some passes at Utah State, leaving him uncertain how often he'd hear his name called.
The Utes, though, went to him against BYU, giving him a chance to redeem himself.
"I still had one drop," he said. "But I knew I needed to do a better job of focusing and making sure I made the plays to help the team win and that is what I did."
Having him as a threat should help quarterback Jon Hays by keeping ASU's defense honest.
"When they commit 'X' amount of players to the box, the quarterback can get the ball to the perimeter," Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said. "It's a cat and mouse game. If they go out there and take it away, we can't go there so we have to take it up inside. It's all about the reads the quarterback makes."
By now opponents shouldn't be surprised with Dunn's role. However, he feels he can remain effective even if the element of surprise has worn off.
"We can get more creative and find different ways like we did last week," he said. "The coaches will find ways to get me and the other guys the ball."

Boston.com has an excellent story about teens who are sleeping with their phones under their pillows or near the bed so they can wake up in case a friend needs them via text.
They are "on call" in case of a break up or other emotional teen trauma. But besides becoming exhausted from not getting enough sleep, these texting teens are actually interrupting their learning cycle!!
Here are some stats from the article on teen texting:
Teenagers sent and received an average of 3,276 texts per month in the last quarter of 2010, according to the most recent statistics from the Nielsen Co.
"A Pew Research Center study from 2010 reported that more than four out of five teens with cellphones sleep with the phone on or near the bed, sometimes falling asleep with it in their hands in the middle of a conversation. Pew researchers did not ask whether the phones were on, but Amanda Lenhart, a senior research specialist, said 'many expressed reluctance to ever turn their phones off.' "
"Researchers at the JFK Medical Center sleep laboratory in Edison, N.J., found in a 2010 study that teens sent an average of 33.5 e-mails and texts overnight and that their sleep was affected. A National Sleep Foundation study released this month found that almost one in five teens ages 13-18 are awakened by a phone call, text message, or e-mail at least a few nights a week."
Michael Rich, director of Children's Hospital Boston's Center on Media and Child Health, explains that it's not just that the kids are exhausted, they are actually interfering with their learning cycle.
"Children who text late into the night do not fall asleep as well, he said, and they don't enter the deep sleep of Stage 4 REM sleep, 'which is crucial to moving experiences and lessons of the day from short-term into long-term memory — in other words, completing the learning process.''"
"Anticipating texts, Rich explained, leads to a bad night's sleep in the same way as an early morning flight or other predawn obligation. 'You're so focused on not screwing up your wake-up that you don't sleep as well.' "
The story explains why kids text during the night:
A. It makes them feel needed and loved that someone is texting them.
B. It makes them feel less lonely.
C. But they may also feel pressure to answer. Researchers found some teens were angry with their friends when they didn't respond back immediately.
What's interesting is that according to a 2010 Kaiser Family Foundation study found that "relatively few 7th-12th graders say their parents have established any rules about talking or texting on a cell phone.''
Parents may not realize that letting their kids have their cell phone with them in their rooms at night can cause this many problems but the good news is I think the solution is very easy.
Parents just have to take the phones away at night. The phones stay downstairs or in the parents' room (depending on if your kid would sneak it upstairs after you went to bed). Friends are told my family has a rule no texting after 10 and my phone is taken away for the night. (The article said it's easier for teens to say it's a family rule and blame their parents, than for them to say "I need my sleep! Leave me alone!")
We had a rule in high school no calling after 10 p.m. and that was just the rule. If your friend called you were told, no calling after 10 p.m.
If the teens don't want to comply by your cell phone rules then they don't get the phone at all. (I'm pretty sure they'll agree to the new nighttime rules.)
What do you think: Are you teens sleeping near or with their phones? Are they texting during the night? Are they semi-asleep on call waiting for their phone to vibrate? Are they not finishing their learning cycle, transferring their knowledge from short term to long term memory? Are they sleeping through classes or getting sick because they are so worn out by being "on call?" Are you surprised by how much damage this can cause?

When mine were in high school, the phone was required to be turned off and on the charger in the kitchen at 8 pm in the 9th grade, 9 in the 10th grade, 10 in the 11th grade and 11 pm their senior year for school nights. Otherwise, yes, the daughter, especially, would have definitely been on it until the wee hours of the morning. The son, not so much. Their friends had similar rules, and the ones that didn't knew that it was useless to call after 9 pm. If it was an "emergency", they could call the land line, but that seldom happened, except in case of lost homework, etc.
I think the study is right in that kids haven't learned to discern that they don't HAVE to answer the phone when it rings. A few years ago, my daughter tried to explain to me that it was rude not to answer immediately, and I explained that if her friend was standing right there with us, it would be extremely rude for them to suddenly burst into the middle of a conversation or interrupt her watching TV or talking to another friend — so why was it less rude doing it on the phone? At one point, a boy she was dating called incessantly while we were enjoying browsing a craft show. She was getting increasingly frustrated, and I was getting annoyed. Finally, the phone rang yet again (probably the 10th time in an hour), and I answered the phone and politely told him that he was interrupting my personal time with my daughter, and that she would call him when we finished. End of calls. :-) I had to explain that a phone is not a leash, for other people to tug on at their whim — the phone is a tool for them to communicate with the world on THEIR terms, and if they didn't control the phone, the phone would control them. It's a teachable moment :-)

Simply take the device away if it's "interfering" with their learning cycle. At least pretend to exercise some discipline. The child can text to their hearts desire once they grow up, can pay for it, and are living under someone else's rules.
Why bow down to a child's wants, while sacrificing what you as the parent, should know to be their needs. Why is this so hard to understand?

I have a grandson and I do not know what is going on. Teenagers want their space, if that happens to be their bed with a cell phone under the pillow that is fine. I tried to get involved, however this is their primetime, and without interference. He had the lead role in "How to Succeed in Business without reALLY TRYING. A talented guy who wants to go into broadcast journalism. I just heard on CBS, women start feeling old at 29, it's 58 for men. Why the difference? It is because women have children by then and they figure they have fulfilled their mission by propogation, funny but true.

Take advantage of the parental controls – you set the times of the day that the phone will receive messages – Can also be used to completely disable all communications including phone or can be tailored to allow the phone 24/7 while only allowing texts during certain hours.

We're dealing with this somewhat now though I wouldn't call it a major issue. Our son is a sophomore but he likes his sleep so he's usually ok with going with the directive to put the phone away & go to bed; and more often than not, we don't have to tell him. Luckily he doesn't have a girlfriend just lots of friends but I think boys are ok without the instance response (more so than girls anyway). He's been getting up early for morning workouts though and I can definitely tell he's missing that extra sleep (he's been coming home and taking an afternoon nap). I think sleep is important but even without the phones and texting, it seems like it's difficult for active & involved kids to get 8 or more hours of sleep a night. I'm not big on a strict bed time once kids are older but we definitely enforce one when we know our son needs it. Like I said though, he likes his sleep so it's not really a battle. There are a couple of girls in particular that I can think of in our youth group though that I know are usually up half the night b/c they're posting stuff on facebook at all hours.
I hadn't really considered that long-term memory commitment takes places during stage 4 REM…. it's a no wonder I remember anything from college quite frankly if that's the case.

Not something we have had a problem with here, to my knowledge.
They are both out now but when they are home I still do not see it.
We also did not have a lot of "sneaking"….including out of the house in the middle of the night. @ shaggy…I asked my daughter about this last week, after your comment. It was met with awe as we both acknowledged someone would get hurt if they tried to sneak out of their bedrooms, in the front of our house and on a hill.
Good points DB, that I have to remind myself of with my cell phone.
Anyone know anything about this? I rode the shuttle to my car from the ATL airport. The driver was new and I chatted with her. She was telling me about her grandchild, of her son. Parents are not together. Son had sole custody but Mom pleaded with the judge. Now they swap weeks with the 4 year old. Mom is on drugs. Grandma let the Mom and grandchild move in with her, so she could keep an eye on things. Mom is in and out as she pleases…sometimes gone for a week. Grandma has called DFACS but says they will not do anything since the grandson is living with her and has a stable adult in his life…HUH? Territory I know nothing about. Should she contact the judge?
Scary stuff going on out in our world…I feel sorry for the children.

I do not take phone calls after 9;00. My husband will screen them and if it is critical, he calls me.
When I talk on the phone for 30 minutes or so, I CANNOT fall asleep. I want to be asleep by 10:00!

@Me it's too bad that parental controls have to be paid for on most carriers (it's $4.99 extra per month). Not that most parents would even know how to set the limits though.

TWG–you mentioned the rule "no calls after 10:00 growing up" and we had a similar rule but it seemed back then (this would have been the 70's before we all had cell phones) that it was as much a matter of respect. In our home, I think it would have been considered rude to call after 9 pm–and that included friends of my parents too. The phone would wake up anyone in the house that had gone to sleep–and that included my Dad. We also had the rule that you let the phone ring during dinner time and didn't answer it if we were eating–(unless we were waiting on an important call) and we didn't have answering service either!
It's funny how I feel that I'm in the minority (including both teens and adults) that when I'm visiting with someone I don't constantly answer my phone–I check to see who is calling so that if it concerns one of my kids I'm going to answer it–but if it's just a friend calling to catch up and I"m visiting with someone else I let it go to voice mail. I thought that's what voice mail was for!
DB–I know a lot of adults who need to learn the same thing your daughter learned–that it is not rude to let your phone go to voice mail sometimes–it's actually rude and intrusive to constantly answer it when you're in the middle of other things!

Simple solution: phone goes to charge in the kitchen at 10 PM.

By the way, I didn't have a bedtime after 9th grade.
I usually went to bed by 1:30 AM and was up by 6:00 AM. I did OK. I still don't require much sleep to function. People are different when it comes to the amount of sleep they need.
March 29th, 2011

Children sleep with phones under their pillows for one reason and one reason only – they're allowed to.
Back in the day, if there were cell phones around, my parents would have NEVER allowed this to happen. Of course, back in the day, I would have only had a cell phone if I earned the money to pay for it every month.
March 29th, 2011
9:25 am
In my house no calls after 9pm were allowed. My dad got up early for work but that was even true for weekends. I was the one who got grounded off using the phone if my friends called after 9pm. My dad said it was my responsibility to make them aware of the rule. We also only had 1 phone on the wall in the kitchen. I praised the day we got a cordless phone!
I leave my phone on vibrate most of the time and never answer if I'm in the company of friends or family unless it's urgent. I can see when I have a missed call and will return it when appropriate. I have a friend who I've stopped going to lunch with b/c the last couple of times we've gone, she's spent nearly the whole time taking other calls. Totally rude to think I would take time out of my day to see you face to face and then you have to the nerve to spend it talking to people who aren't sitting in front of you.
Actually my bigger pet peeve lately is that people will only call cell phones. I know a lot of people don't have home numbers but seriously, I do, use it! Even my son will just try my cell first. He learned his lesson this weekend though when he only called me on my cell phone to come pick him up when the event he was at got called off early. 45 minutes later when I saw the missed call, I called him from our home number. His excuse- my cell number shows up first on his list so he doesn't have to scroll for "home". I told him his 3-second laziness cost him an hour of sitting around. I simply do not carry cell with me at all times.
March 29th, 2011

@ Betty…we typically do not answer the phone during dinner either: we check to see who it is. I rarely ever answer the toll free or private number calls, as they are usually not anything I need to fool with!

I think your sneaking out comment is directed at jarvis, and once again I find it just plain weird if any shaggisms comes up at the dinner table…just plain weird.

I used to talk on the phone ALL the time at night. It drove my parents crazy! I watched television too, for hours – loved some reruns of MASH.
I would sneak the phone into my room. The other is probably my parents fault for allowing me a television. I was too irresponsible to police myself.
For my boys, no television/computers in their rooms ever! Maybe they won't be as obsessed with the phone as a teenage girl? We will cross that bridge in many years when we get there… My thinking right now is that the phones go away at night.

I know this option is available via Verizon. Having your kid go over their message usage can be co$tly too!
I rememember as a teenager/young adult to speak to a girl you had to go through their parents now they can just be contacted directly! I also remember a Dad that would interrupt our conversation to tell his daughter it was time for the call to end.

While I realize the article concerns teens staying up all night texting etc, I'm curious to know at what age most of you approve of cell phones for your kids……..hope this isn't too far off topic but I'm running into an awful lot of 9 year olds getting cell phones and just think it's weird. While I doubt they're staying up all night with them, I have been hearing alot about them texting each other after school and on weekends. Is this really becoming the norm so young?
March 29th, 2011
10:00 am
@Betty and MJG – I totally agree…we don't answer the phone at dinner, and generally speaking, if I don't recognize a number, I don't answer. If it's someone who actually needs to talk to me, they will leave a message, and I will call back. Hubs gets calls at all hours, usually work, and he gets the Wicked Witch look when it's during meals – that usually ends the call quickly :o)
@Spacey – I'm with you. DD will not have a computer, TV, or phone in her room – ever!
@Techmom – Good for you! I carry my cell everyone, but oh, how I hate it! I can roll my office line to my cell, and I like to have it since DD's school will call if she gets sick. It's usually incoming calls only…
March 29th, 2011
10:02 am
@Betty – That's a really good question – a potential topic? I'm not there yet, but would be interested to hear the age at which others are providing cell phones to their kids (or making the kid work if s/he wants to get one).
March 29th, 2011
10:16 am
I know this is off the topic…but my BIGGEST pet peeve with cell phones today is that no listens to voice mails anymore. No one has the patience to go thru the steps to play back the message. They see "missed call" and call you back. So then you ask…"did you get my message"…response – "no…but I saw that you called so I just called you back"….so what that results in now is a whole bunch of adults now texting too! Am I the only one with this pet peeve?
March 29th, 2011
10:18 am
@ shaggy…oops…you are correct and I apologize.
Since I speak with folks all across the country, most days ,and read lots of things on the internet, as does my husband…we talk about anything and everything at dinner. It is sad, to me, when we are out to eat together and couples near us are just looking at each other and eating…never say a word all through their meal. We are quite animated here and love to share what has been going on during the day with the rest of the crew.
Even more fun when I meet fellow bloggers for lunch and there are two of us can chat about the rest of the group…it is interesting to see what someone else's take is on the words that are posted here!
I WAS curious if perhaps my kids ever tried to sneak out at night ( since jarvis called me on it) and thus asked my daughter. Her answer confirmed that I was correct…they did not.

Your rules are perfect! Parents must retain control here, and if the kids don't like it, then no phone at all. Easy enough! (Hey, I know it's not that easy; just kidding. I know there will be lots of hand wringing and teeth gnashing, but stick to your guns, parents.)

Why do kids have cell phones any way? When I was growing up in NYC, I didn't have a cell phone until I was a senior in HS but now-a-days, kids have cell phones in elementary. Kids are NOT obligated to have the same devices as grown-ups UNTIL they can pay for those devices themselves.
March 29th, 2011
10:55 am
@ ummm…when I was growing up we did not have microwaves in our kitchen nor in the dorm in college. We also had a party line on the dial up phone at home in HS. Some things are different. Our kids each had a phone when they hit 13 or 14 as they were on one plan and it added about $20 per month to our bill. Easier, when they needed to be picked up from school activities, sports, or music lessons!

My Dad got my youngest sister (age 10) a cell phone for her birthday last year. All of the older siblings (age 15-26) had to wait until age 15 to receive a cell phone. He got her a cell phone to teach responsibility because the last 15 yr old had a $500+ phone bill (for one month) from texting alone.
I did not receive a cell phone until my senior year of HS (2004, I was 17) when Verizon had a BOGO sell on phones that can be used with family talk, with my mother as the primary line. I was limited to 300 minutes a month with free nights and weekends after 9pm and I had to pay $6 for text ($5 for 200 messages plus tax), any additional minutes over 300 and for any games I downloaded on my phone. My mother paid for me to talk; I paid for all the extras.
Prior to getting my cell phone, I did use my mom's cell when I wanted to talk in my room, but I had to make sure the phone was fully charged for her use by morning. I have slept with the phone under my pillow, but I'm a hard sleeper so sometime I did not even hear the phone ring.
IMO, age 10 is the youngest a child should be to receive a cell phone (and that's really pushing it). At this age the phone should be able to call 911, parents, grandparents, siblings, and maybe a friend or two – no messaging. At age 12 (6th grade), include a few more friends and limited text. At age 14 (freshman in HS), provide limited minutes (with early nights and weekends) and limited text. Check bill for unauthorized use during school hours and take away accordingly.

I think it is the fact that many people have done away with a landline and either don't want their children on their phone or can't have their children using the phone (company phone). Most students are not allowed to use the school's phone to call home when something happens so parents provide a cell for communication. Also with the increase of activities it is easier for a parent to provide a cell to a child to call when he is ready to be picked up.
March 29th, 2011
11:39 am
@MyOpinion – Thanks! Sheesh – there are so many options for phones to consider now :o)
Ah, memories – I remember my first cell phone…think phone in a bag! It stayed under the seat in my car in high school with *strict* orders from Daddy NOT to use unless it was an emergency (meaning the presence of blood, probably). I'm not sure I actually used a cell phone for a few more years!
March 29th, 2011
11:53 am
Phone goes into the charger next to the door at night. Fortunately, my son is not that into texting or talking on the phone so not a big deal. He has one friend who calls him after 10:30pm but we are all still up at that point and the friend has gone through a hard time recently (death of a parent) so I allow a little more freedom in that situation.
@Betty – I also agree that we would have thought it was rude to call late at night. My family is an exception in our circle, I'd rather you call us late than early since we sleep in but stay up late. I don't personally call anyone after 9:30 though unless I am sure they are up and I really need a quick answer. To me that's what email is for.
@TWG – we got our son a pre-paid cell phone when he was 13 for Our convenience (and he knew that was the reason). It was a way to arrange picking him up or to find out information from him when we needed it. He wasn't allowed to text anyone but us and we didn't even like him to give out the number to non-family members. Now that he is 15, he is on our regular plan and has a little more freedom. Still not allowed to text excessively or anything like that.

While I haven't had to think of cell phones for my own elementary schooler yet, I cans ay that as a high school teacher, it is not uncommon at all for my students to tell me they were up until 2 or 3 am texting, and that their parents know about it. Surprisingly, these are the same children (most of the time) who drift off during notes, or tell me that they are "too tired" to do their work that day and are okay with taking a zero.

My dad gave me my first cell phone when I was 17 (at the beginning of my senior year of high school) – in 2000. It was his old Nokia (the larger kind that look like landline portable phones…anyone remember those?). It was meant to be for emergencies and I didn't use it much. Honestly, I had read about studies linking cell phone use to brain cancer and I wasn't too keen on the idea.
That year, though, more and more friends got cell phones, so I used it a little more often (and felt "cool" having it), but it wasn't a huge deal. I don't remember ever being "on call" at night for phone calls (or texts; I remember I would text people and they wouldn't write back – texting wasn't cool yet!!!). The summer after I graduated from high school, I accidentally ruined the phone – the cup holder in my car was filled with Coke from a fast food drink cup that had leaked and I popped the phone into the cup holder when I got in the car. My dad offered to replace the phone (so that I would have one for emergencies, I guess) and I was elated – I was hoping for a tiny flip phone like all of my friends had. Well, we got to the AT&T store and my dad walked up to the salesman and purchased another large, chunky-looking Nokia (despite my protests and to my dismay!). I kept it until I got my own cell phone plan two years later.
My 11-year-old brother (who is a fifth grader), on the other hand, got an iPhone when he was 9. Times have changed! I think that he keeps it with him most of the time, except he doesn't bring it to school usually because I don't think that they are allowed. I'll have to ask my mom if he sleeps with it in his room.

Wow Mrs G–an iPhone at 9! Are his friends envious or is it pretty much common-place for them too? My 8 year old keeps insisting that "all" of her friends are getting phones at 9 and I used to think she was exaggerating but now I'm starting to see some of them with phones and realizing that while not "all" of them have phones, some of them definitely do. Now I've got yet another thing to say NO to! The list keeps growing…………….

We haven't had any issues with late night calls or texting. I'm not surprised that this is an issue for some though.

Betty – All of his friends seem to have them, too – I don't think that he's the first. It floors me! My husband and I swear that we're going to get our kids one of those phones that can only store, like, three numbers in them (and can make emergencycalls)…let's hope they still make them when the time comes. :)

No teens at my house, so this isn't an issue for us..Yet..Growing up, we weren't allowed to have phone calls after 9:00..That is still my rules for my cell phone..We don't have a land line and when we did, if you called me after 9:00/9:30, your house needed to be on fire or someone was dead.. Part of that is that I have neices in KY, that don't work (whole nother topic) and one would call me at 1 or 2 (collect) in the morning and want to know what I was doing? Hello..This is a grown woman no less..
The boy is wanting a cell phone (be 9 in June)..Not sure that he will get one though..Have been debating on that..His logic is that he can use it when he's at home and his parents won't let him use their phone..Of course if he gets one, the sister thinks that she has to have one..:~)

Simple solution- take the phone from them at night and turn it off.
My 12 year old has a cell phone, and has since she was 11 for one reason only…*I* have to know she made it on the bus in the morning since middle school starts so late. Her bus stop is at an extremely busy intersection, and she is the only child in the neighborhood on that bus. It is for my peace of mind only. She comes home and the phone comes right to me! She has unlimited texting, but is only allowed to text her friends on weekends….grades/chores/attitude permitting.

When I was growing up (and my kids as well) that phone HAD BETTER NOT RING after 9 pm unless there had been a death in the family! I have followed this same rule all my life. I don't call my kids after 9 pm unless I am calling from the hospital, and even then I think twice.
Neither of my older kids had cells until college. The younger one had one starting in 10th grade, which saved me some time with band, cheerleader, and theater practice waits. Since we live 18 miles from town, it was important not to make extra trips. Could we have managed without one? Sure, and we did (she had similar after school activities from 6th grade on) and I just showed up , and those darned practices had better be over on time! I kept a check on her minutes/texts, and if they had been late-night, you can be darned sure she would have lost that phone!
March 29th, 2011
9:29 pm
catlady…I am the 9-9 rule. No calls before 9 and no calls after 9, unless it is important or I know that someone is at their desk at work.
I just think there are 12 other hours in the day to connect and folks might need their privacy!

Chicago—January 9, 2007—The launch of the newly designed Dodge Charger was the most popular in terms of consumer searches for new car introductions in 2006, according to the most recent Cars.com Consumer Search Index.
The Dodge Charger not only generated the most searches among new car introductions for the '06 model year, it also generated the most email inquiries sent by consumers to dealers. Other new car introductions for the 2006 model year that were popular among consumers included the 2006 Pontiac Solstice, Volkswagen Rabbit, Ford Fusion and the Hummer H3.
"Daimler Chrysler has had a lot of success with their distinctive sedan designs over the last several years, starting with the Chrysler 300," said Cars.com Managing Editor Patrick Olsen. "The Dodge Charger continues that trend of combining a sporty look with the convenience of four doors."

I attended your review course at Otterbein in June.Â
I took the ANCC FNP exam on Tuesday and gotÂ
my results thatÂ
.I can't thank youÂ
enough for a great course!Â
Many things we covered were on the test, severalÂ
questions nearly word for word.
Being familiar with so much with so much of the wording and content was very comforting! Â
Overall, I got 133/150 questions right,Â
the form said the required passing score was 100. My strongest areasÂ
were assessment & diagnosis (92% and 95.5%, respectively). Thanks so much for a great class that was also enjoyable. I will recommend your course to all myÂ
friends at OSU".
Erin A. Yontz,MSN, FNP,BC, Ohio
First of all, I passed the exam! Your review course definitely helped. It was an excellent review. In addition to your course/book, I used her review  CDs and books, which in retrospect wasÂ
way too much in depth and not very focused
(we are not printing the name here). Your course wasÂ
much more on target, less extraneous information and the right depth.....Â
David Wilman, MSN, NP-C, Ohio
I just wanted to thank you again for offering yourÂ
course. I know it made a difference in my passingÂ
the ANCC exam in December. I have taken theÂ
exam three other times and failing by 10 or less points.Â
My primary problem area was diagnosis and planning.I averaged between 50-65% on each of the preceding exams. Â For the December test,
I used only your study materials and scored 80% in diagnosis/planning.Â
I haveÂ
struggled for four and half years
to get the exam behind and now thanks to your excellent course,Â
it is a thing of the past.
I have taken the liberty to shareÂ
my experience with your course with some of my former instructors". Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
Randy York, FNP"C", Texas
"The course put it all together for me and boostedÂ
my confidence.Â
I passed my certification examÂ
on my first try!Â

Passed AANP FNP Exam
Hi Maria,
I am a Port St. Lucie FAU student and took your review class this past weekend in Jupiter.Â
Just wanted to let you know that I just took the AANP and PASSED!Â
Your course was most helpful out of everything that I had studied. I reviewed the book from the review class on Monday and Tuesday and just took the test today! Yay!!! Thanks for everything,Â
Karen Mercer, MSN, FNP-BC
PASSED the AANP FNP Credentialing Exam!
I took the AANP yesterday.There were 2-3 questions we did not discuss directly. Almost all the questions were  included in your review.
I believe that whoever wants to  pass the exam just needs to listen to your review and study your book. I did not take any time off to prepare for the  exam since I passed ANCC in June.
Therefore, the AANP Â did not matter to me.I simply went and took the test. That is all I did. I really appreciate you guys effort in helping all future NPs pass the test.
Best regards.- Jenny L., Boca Raton, FL
Great NP review course!
 I want to say thank you for a great review course!!!
 I took the ---------- review course at Barry University. After her review,  I felt that her review was not as helpful as I  expected.  After taking your review, I saidÂ
You went over the information that was really helpful, straight to the point. Your review was not rushed and I really enjoyed the quizzes andÂ
common signs that you recommended that we should know, because YES, they were on the test!.Â
Your family nurse practitioner review book was also helpful and I want to say thank you. I took the AANP adult exam ... and  I passed with your help.

EXAM TIPS: Non-Clinical Topics
According to the U.S. Department of Health, Education
and Welfare (1971), what is the definition of licensure?
It is âa process by which an agency of the state government grants permission to individuals accountable for the practice of a profession to engage in the practice of that profession and prohibits all others from legally doing soâ.
Voluntary process by which a professional orÂ
non-governmental agency (ie: ANCC, AANP) certifies that a practitioner has met predetermined standards specified by  that profession.
Per the ANCC - what is the value of certification?
âcertification protects the public by enabling anyone toÂ
identify competent people more readilyâ
âaids the profession by encouraging and recognizing professional achievementâ and âenhances professionalismâ.

There will be several questions that address HIPAA on the ANCC exam. The questions will assess whether youÂ
know how HIPAA rules are "applied" in the real world.

ABOUT ME: I hate to talk about myself. I really do
Here goes.  I humbly submit  my background...Â
I am currently board-certified by both the ANCC & AANPCP as an FNP-C, and AGPCNP-BC. I have been teaching my NP review courses since 1997 and practice as an NP clinician since 1991 (I was an RN for 8 years before I became an NP).Â
I have been an adjunct instructor and clinical preceptor for NP students. I have also been a preceptor for medical school students.Â
I received my BSN degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago and my Master's in Nursing from Florida International University.Â
I am the author of two best-selling NP review books
"Family Nurse Practitioner Certification Intensive Review.Â
Fast Facts & Practice Questions"Â
"Adult Nurse Practitioner Certification Intensive Review. Fast Facts & Practice Questions".Â
I was lucky enought to be invited to write the Dermatology chapter for Hector-Dunphy's and Winland-Brown's "The Art and Science of Advance Practice Nursing" (1st ed). Â
I have to say that my most challenging job is motherhood. Both my daughters are still fairly young - one is aged 6 years and the other is now 11 years old. Well, enough said for now...
PS: the company is growing quickly. I will be selling audio tapes, questions, and other materials soon.
EXAM Tips...
Study these topics:
Sensitivity: ability of a test to pick individuals who have the disease
Specificity: ability of a test to detect individuals who are healthy (or who do not have the disease).Â
Screening test for temporal arteritis is sed rate
Know how thiazides slow down bone loss
Osgood-Schlatter disease
S3 heart (heart failure)
S4 heart sound (LVH)
Scarlet fever (the sandpaper rash)
Most common type skin cancer (basal)
Cancer with highest mortality (lung)
Medical Ethics
Learn several ethical concepts (beneficience, etc). Usually about three of these are in the exam. Â
Patient Advocacy
The daughter of an elderly patient tells the NP that she does not want her to have surgery or she does not want the NP to inform the patient that she has been diagnosed with cancer.Â
The NP protects the right of the patient. The patient has the right to self-determination.

Hi Maria and all webinar classmates,
I just want to let everyone know that God allowed me to pass the AANP exam today. It has been a very difficult journey and I am so glad that it is over! The first time I took AANP exam I did not pass. I took ANCC and did not pass but today God allowed me to pass! God bless everyone!
Thank you Maria for your webinar!!!!!!!!!!!Â
JoVonne Osborne
Hi Maria,
I just got my score in the mail from AANP. I scored 606 the first time I scored 482. What a big difference!
 JoVonne Osborne ====================================================
This is Jovonne's story...
I graduated in January 2011. Took a review course called
--------- (name given by student, but I am witholding it) before graduation. I took ANCC May 5 failed. I studied all summer then took AANP September 7 failed. I took ANCC September 27 failed. I cried and I was so disappointed.
I knew the webinar would be perfect for me because I did not want to sit though a 9 hour class
, I'm too impatient and I felt like that was too much info to be cramming when I took the other review course. I feel like God led me to your website.
I took the webinar and studied for two weeks after we finished the last class. I did just what you told me to do and God allowed me to pass the AANP exam March 5.
When I saw the word passed I just started praising God I was so happy that I forgot about the other people at the testing site that was taking their tests. It's a great feeling.
There were so many questions that your webinar covered that was on my test.
I just want to thank God for allowing me to find you and utilize your services to help me with that exam. I'm sorry this email is so long but I am so thankful. You can use any part of this email I know it is too long to use all but feel free to use what you want.
For those who failed keep the faith you will eventually pass if you don't give up. I realized that I was doing something wrong when I studied and failed those test and I knew I needed help.
Maria you gave us so many test taking strategies that I did not learn in my other review. I forgot to add that I also listened to the  _____ tapes over the summer but still failed the both exams after listening to those CDs.
 Thank you Maria!!! God bless!
Jovonne Osborne
My reply to Jovonne...
 Oh my gosh... Wow. You made my week!!!  What can I say, Jovonne?  It warms my heart when I hear stories like yours. Indeed, I count myself as lucky for having YOU as my student. Thank you so much for your generous letter.

AutumnSubmitted by Mo on Sun, 28/10/2012 - 08:24
Ziva made me promise to do at least one more photo this challenge, and today's theme is Autumn, so I went out into the Autumn and took a couple of photos. Unfortunately a little hooded hooligan kept spoiling them.
As I look at the shot again now, I think I recognise the little chap. Hmm, that looks like my son. I could recognise that leisurely swagger anywhere.
This is a random and hurriedly-scrambled
egg entry for some sort of 30 Days of Photographs theme, hosted Ziva. I did one of these things before, you can view all my photos from the previous series Here, it nearly burnt out my brain but fortunately my soul was unscathed. Any photos I do post from this one might appear on that gallery. The list of daily photos is magically available on Ziva's post.
I know exactly what you are thinking. How can this punk just turn up and spit out a single shoddy photo when the rest of us are cranking out billions of the things every second and it's a bit like that greek bloke that was trying to roll some bastard of a rock up some ridiculous hill forever and worst still, this looks like he's done this in a rush when he really should have been working his socks off learning to use punctuation without spewing out inappropriately-hypenated, probably-misspelt and endlessly-sprawling torrents of nonsense.

Hi! Just a normal person that loves Pro-wrestling and pop punk or rock bands specifically Paramore and All Time Low. Everything about me is art. I'm also a highschool student! Stoked if you fan me or view my profile. Suck a dick <------- Just my expression of saying bye
Ang aking kwentoBased on reality bitches! :D :D :D

Sometimes I watch the phone ring and I don't answer it. Sometimes I call back right away and sometimes I never return the call. Sometimes I laugh when nothing is funny and sometimes I cry when nothing is sad. Sometimes I roll through stop signs and accelerate through red lights. Sometimes I am so engaged in texting, I hold up traffic at green lights. Sometimes I forget to be grateful for what I have received and long for what I have not. Sometimes I say things that hurt people's feelings and sometimes I swallow my feelings, because they hurt too much to say. Sometimes I think the whole world is cheering for me and sometimes I think the whole world has turned against me.
Sometimes I can do the splits. Sometimes it hurts my back to sit. Sometimes I take candy from the bulk bins and pretend I am sampling it, knowing full well I have no intention of buying it. Sometimes my shorts are too short and sometimes my hair grows too long. Sometimes I peek at the big scale in the grocery store when a stranger is on it. Sometimes I compare myself to others. Sometimes I teach yoga and tell others to focus only on themselves. Sometimes I snoop around on the internet. Sometimes I create stories around people I have just met. Sometimes I act like an 8 year old. Sometimes I have the wisdom of a 108 year old.
Sometimes my next step is crystal clear and sometimes I waver as I lurk into the mysterious unknown. Sometimes I engage in gossip and sometimes I remind others that nothing is more poisonous than gossip. Sometimes I'm a minimalist and sometimes I'm a hoarder.
The list of contradictions goes on and on. Although I aspire to ascend ego and reach the levels of elevated consciousness, I recognize that as long as I am on this planet, I am engaging in the human experience. Sometimes it is logical and sometimes it is not. Sometimes things are as they seem and sometimes they are not. You may never understand why you are experiencing the emotions and feelings that you are experiencing especially when you are right in them. Perhaps you have a pain body or a pattern from this lifetime or a previous life time that is triggered in a way that you could not attempt to comprehend.
When you see a side of yourself surface that you don't like, be careful not to judge or self deprecate. As long as you are walking on this planet, you will have some relationship to ego. Bringing awareness and a sense of humor to your life situation is a beautiful way to Honor your Humanness.
Sometimes I really believe it is important to be right, but in my heart, I am certain it is more important to be happy. When you fall from grace, get back up. If you have ever shared any of these experiences or your own similar ones, embrace your humanness.
Being Happy Healthy and Fit means accepting yourself exactly as you are today, while striving to reach your greatest potential without any judgment. Life is Short. Make Yours Magical.

We aren't the only folks thinking GM's 230 MPG EPA Chevy Volt fuel economy rating's rather fantastic. Apparently the EPA thinks so too, issuing a statement saying it "cannot confirm the fuel economy values claimed by GM." [EPA via GreenCarAdvisor]

Your comment was dead on for me.
I started out my RPG experiences with Ultima: Exodus on NES. I eventually moved on to anything from Black Isle Studios and keeping up with the Ultima releases until UO (Ultima Online) was announced. I applied for the alpha but ended up getting in on the beta and have been hooked on MMO's ever since. I went from MMO to MMO for a long time and each MMO has a particular appeal. I went to Everquest because the gameplay in UO went nowhere and I wanted to try a leveling MMO. I went to SW:G because it was Star Wars (why else?). I went to EQ2 because housing killed SW:G and I had fallen way behind in EQ's expansions.
Originally when WoW was released I didn't even want to try it. The graphics style for the warcraft series had always been too cartoon-like for my tastes and I enjoyed the realism of other games. Once I tried a trial of WoW the gameplay hooked me and had me buying the game before the trial was up.
Since coming to Wow in 2006 I have tried dozens of other MMOs. They run a sale or put out a trial and figure there is no harm in trying another game. D&D Online, Lord of the Rings Online, Warhammer Online, Matrix Online...
The only game I would have ever considered leaving WoW for and restarting completely was Warhammer Online. I did leave for a while and the game was great; but the player base went up in smoke after the first month or so and I ended up soloing through everything on a 2nd character (not fun).
Games I'm looking forward to? Warhammer 40k, TRON: Legacy, 'Copernicus' from 38 Studios (I'm a huge fan of Salvatore)
