"The Most Advanced Cell Phone Monitoring Features "
- Remote Monitoring – Bug – Turn the phone on Remotely and listen to the phones surroundings. You can monitor what is being said that is in close proximity to the phone.
- Record Photos Taken By Phone – When a photo is taken on your target's phone, it's then uploaded to your online account where you can then download it and see the photo. This is a great feature for parents who want to keep an eye on the kind of photos their kids are taking (to ensure they are not taking explicit pictures), or for a spouse who wants to see what photos are stored on their spouse's cell phone.
- Access Phone Contacts – Whenever a new contact is added to the phone, you'll be able to see full details of this contact via your online control panel. This will only display NEW contacts, and will not display any existing contacts that were on the phone prior to installing the monitoring software.
"Why would you use Cell Phone Monitoring Software?"
- Enforce Employee Cell Phone Policy – There are now 10′s of millions of employee phones in circulation. Employers give these cell phones to their employees for work purposes only. Does your company pay an enormous amount each month for employee cell phone usage? How can you know whether your employees are using their cell phones for the intended work purposes and not putting the company at risk by using their phones in a "BAD" way?The answer is simple. The employer can use employee monitoring software to track employee cell phone use. The spy software is installed by an administrator to keep track of call information, sms data, text messages, GPS locations and more. This cell spy monitoring software runs silently on the smart phones and uploads the logs to your private and secure online account. To view the results you simply login to your private account from any Internet connected computer, the logs are displayed by categories and sorted for easy browsing.
- Monitor Teen Cell Phone Use – Today's computer-savvy teenager has all of the dangers of the Internet at their fingertips. While there are PC monitoring software solutions (so-called parental control software) available to keep children safe on a computer, another important item to monitor is their cell phone. Text messaging has become the new craze among young people worldwide. But how can a parent know what their teen is doing on their cell phone? Are they texting while driving? Are they sending sexually explicit texts or images?Phone Monitoring allows you to record the activities of your child's cell phone. You easily install a silent application to the phone. The spy software records all text messages and call information. It also records pictures or sound clips sent inside an MMS message. It doesn't matter if they delete their call and message logs because It will record it anyway. You login to a web site to view the activities of the phone. If your looking for Parental Control Monitoring Software, cell phone monitoring is the way to go.
- Backup Your Own Cell Phone Activities – Many people use their smartphone to its fullest potential. With the increased use comes the need to delete old messages, pictures, files, etc. In the past there was no easy way to backup your call logs or SMS logs. Cell phone monitoring software can do all of these things without your intervention. Simply install a silent piece of software on your phone which boots each time your phone is turned on.Great for keeping records of important conversations and communications, phone monitoring software will record activities so you can easily review them anytime online. Review all calls including timestamp and direction, sms and MMS messages including text and more. This can be helpful in any situation where you need to have proof of your actions. Can also be used for billing disputes with your carrier or to track the time you spend on your phone to bill clients for this time.

It's performance is powered by an archaically sounding 528MHz single-core processor, however this shows that other old-school Android smartphones might also get a taste of Ice Cream Sandwich in the future. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth don't work and neither does screen rotation but the real news here is the promise, rather than the actual application itself. The video says it all.

Report: Elizabeth Edwards Kicks Out John Edwardsby Free Britney at . Comments
In a move wives everywhere will surely laud, Elizabeth Edwards has supposedly kicked her cheating husband, former Senator John Edwards, to the curb.
Elizabeth stood by him even after news of his affair (and alleged love child) with weird filmmaker mistress Rielle Hunter shocked the world this summer.
The cancer-stricken health care advocate and mother of two recently showed up for a presentation at George Washington University - without her husband or her wedding ring in sight. Could her husband of 29 years be history?
HAPPIER TIMES: Elizabeth Edwards and John Edwards share a lighter moment in pre-Rielle Hunter times. Or at least pre-she-knew-about-Rielle Hunter times.
A source tells the New York Post that John Edwards is no longer living with Elizabeth and that the couple has separated. Reps for Elizabeth had no comment.
News of Edwards' affair with Rielle Hunter first broke late last year, but he denied it. Things blew over until he was caught visiting Hunter and her baby - the paternity of which remains highly questionable - in a Beverly Hills hotel.
His political career is toast regardless, but if it turns out he did knock up Rielle, that might just top Bristol Palin as the top political pregnancy story of '08.
Its about time she does! It amazes me what "pigs" wallow in the democratic party. Take clinton for example! Im quite sure its a case of being "the democratic thing to do." How many campaign volunteers or interns can we "do"?
Leave Elizabeth Edwards alone. She's got enough to deal with.
It is difficult enough to deal with the myriad of challenges a cancer diagnosis brings to one's life - the treatment, the dibilitating response to treatment, the seemingly endless tests and waiting to determine prognosis - but to do so as a vested spouse in her husband's political aspirations while simultaneously giving loving support to your children only to find at the end of the day that your husband gave the sexual affection to which you were entitled to another woman must be very devastating. Elizabeth Edwards finally realized that the quality of her life must be safe guarded for the sake of her children. There can be no quality of life living with a narcissist who betrays the fundamental basis for an ethical relationship - honesty and loyalty. I hope that she can now continue to nurture their children in peace without the emotional entanglement of a man who clearly did not respect her, his children, even himself...

What does world-class look like?
Noel Hennessy, Continuous Improvement Director, Lake Region Medical
In June 2012, Lake Region Medical was very proud to become the first medical device manufacturer in Europe to be awarded the prestigious Shingo Bronze Medallion.
When we first began thinking about challenging for the Shingo Prize back in 2010, we believed our manufacturing plant in New Ross, County Wexford was ready for it.
However, after attending a Shingo workshop, our eyes were opened at the task ahead of us. Until this point I think it was fair to say we hadn't fully comprehended how much of a major learning curve it would be for our business and employees.
We regrouped and immediately began to align our company goals for 2010 with the principles, systems and tools of the Shingo model for operational excellence. Then in September of that year we invited The Manufacturing Institute to carry out a benchmarking assessment, which provided an independent analysis of our company performance. We were really impressed with the comprehensive report which the Institute produced. In the two days they had covered every area of the plant and managed to capture clearly where our strengths and opportunities lay.
The report itself made very interesting reading. While extremely complimentary of our working practices, the assessors had identified what could only be described as a major flaw. Much of our excellent work was 'champion led' which raised the question, what happens if the champion leaves? Will the good work leave as well?
With the support of The Manufacturing Institute, we began to drive forward improvements and develop the systems which would support and drive the right culture and behaviours within our company. This meant ensuring all plant activities were focused clearly in line with the company's goals and five-year strategy, and that fostering employee engagement was at the heart of what we do.
It's been almost three and a half years since we started out on our Shingo journey and it now makes me very proud to see Lake Region Medical as the newest addition to the Shingo honours list.
As a company, the value of the model has been absolutely invaluable. The fact that it is based on well-established principles and encompasses all stakeholders provides a truly enterprise-wide system that our company applies to connect up all parts of the business.
The global standard of Shingo also demonstrates to our customers the determination we have to reach the highest standards of operations and set an international benchmark. Since recognition, our reputation has improved greatly amongst existing and potential companies. We are now seen as a centre of excellence, with customers regularly requesting to visit the site and learn from our achievements. Rather than seen as an end in itself, achieving Shingo Bronze accreditation has inspired our employees to up the pace of continuous improvement to a point where they feel both empowered and obliged to search for excellence as part of their daily routine.
Only now do we know that we are truly world-class.
Noel Hennessy is Continuous Improvement Director at Lake Region Medical, a global leader in the development and manufacture of OEM devices, supplying the world's largest medical device companies with minimally invasive delivery solutions. It is an industry expert in developing and marketing medical devices to meet unique clinical challenges for cardiovascular, stimulation therapy, neurovascular, and peripheral vascular applications, serving all major markets worldwide.

JA - IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering
An algorithm for the induction of rules from examples is introduced. The algorithm is novel in the sense that it not only learns rules for a given concept (classification), but it simultaneously learns rules relating multiple concepts. This type of learning, known as generalized rule induction, is considerably more general than existing algorithms, which tend to be classification oriented. Initially, it is focused on the problem of determining a quantitative, well-defined rule preference measure. In particular, a quantity called the J-measure is proposed as an information-theoretic alternative to existing approaches. The J-measure quantifies the information content of a rule or a hypothesis. The information theoretic origins of this measure are outlined, and its plausibility as a hypothesis preference measure is examined. The ITRULE algorithm, which uses the measure to learn a set of optimal rules from a set of data samples, is defined. Experimental results on real-world data are analyzed.

I wonder how much tourist business Turkey is going to get, remember all those glossy brochures promoting their beaches, etc and the cruise lines hawking it as a destination place.

The reaction to the not guilty verdict in the George Zimmerman murder trial has run the gamut this week from shock to anger to soul-searching.
But while we can't change history the event can become a springboard for ideas on how to improve race relations, the justice system, and everyday social interactions.
As news spread of the jury's acquittal of Zimmerman for the killing of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin on Saturday evening, social networks and cable channels buzzed with heated reactions.
Dr. Viktor Frankl once said when we are no longer able to change a situation. We are challenged to change ourselves.
It's no secret that the Zimmerman trial's verdict has caused some serious uproar. From riots to public denouncements - including a statement from President Barack Obama - everyone has something to say about the jury's decision.
But when tweeting and Facebooking only goes so far, and people want a stronger, more public way to express their displeasure once the protests stop. The question must be asked, what can we do?
"We've got the greatest legal system in the world but it's not perfect," said Memphis Councilman Lee Harris. "There are going to be travesties of justice and that's what we have in this case."
Councilmen Harris and Harold Collins agree getting involved politically is one way to take action.
"The murder of Trayvon Martin is a result of pretty generous gun laws," Harris said. "We've got pretty generous gun laws in Memphis, Tenn. One of things we can do is try to rein in some of the very expansive gun laws."
Tennessee's State Constitution Self Defense laws reads "A person who is not engaged in unlawful activity and is in a place where the person has a right to be has *no duty to retreat* before threatening or using force intended or likely to cause death or serious bodily injury, if the person has a reasonable belief that there is an imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury."
It's a mirror resemblance to Florida's Stand Your Ground law, which states a person may justifiably use force in self defense when there is reasonable belief of an unlawful threat, without an obligation to retreat first. This is the controversial law used in Zimmerman's defense.
"The most critical vote is when we have these State House and State Senator elections cause that's where the laws are written to govern individual states," Councilman Collins said.
"I'd like to see folks put pressure on their state legislators also pressure on their federal legislators to do something about gun violence in the prevalence of guns in the community," Councilman Harris added.
State elections aren't for another year and while it is important to challenge our government to change the laws, the most significant transformation derives from the strength in our community, an idea stressed by Memphis NAACP President Keith Norman.
"I believe we can find the time to volunteer to educate the general public on one another," Norman said. "We need to pay close attention to coalitions that brings people together. Mid-South Peace Justice, NAACP and other organizations that tear down walls to help foster understanding of humility and not perpetuate stereotypes."
Change comes when we place ourselves in a position to effect the world around us. Councilman Collins especially challenges students to stand up and command effective change.
"Go to college, come back home, service your community, run for office," he said. "Make changes to these laws that adversely effect the majority of the people in this country. That can be something we can take forward and say that was a result of Trayvon."
Change comes when we place ourselves in a position to effect the world around us. It only requires the desire and the will to act.

|1999 1.4 Clutch problems - HELP! - nanz
I bought a Seat Ibiza a few days ago, it is my first car. On driving it back home i had to rev it insanely hard to get it going, i tried to use gentle acceleration the first few times but it kept stalling.
I also noticed the gears were very stiff and it was especially hard to move from the second gear into third, however once in third gear the car seemed at it's best.
I also noticed that when i was in third gear, the speed didn't pick up much at all even though the engine sounded like it was very willing to gain speed, and you have to rev it in reverse to get it going, which to my knowledge is not ideal for a 1.4 engine???
Starting the car off in first gear is an absolute nightmare, it wobbles like jelly and i'm petrified of driving it!
My dad had a go in it and he said there is definitely a problem with the clutch. However, do you reckon that the whole clutch needs replacing, or is it just some smaller parts? Also, are there any other clutch parts that you reckon would be needed as well as the whole thing needing replacing?
I would be quite willing to pay up to have the clutch replaced, but if there are lots of other parts that need to be bought and fixed too then i guess i'll have to get rid of it.
Dad said the gearbox may need replacing in future, however after reading up on the net it seems this could be connected to the dodgy clutch system.
Anyway all your replies are much appreciated thanks, i've got hardly any knowledge of cars so i need them!

With each passing day, Queena doesn't just live, she thrives.
"When she smiles, it lights up the room. Makes you want to smile," said Zumba instructor Heather Rollert.
It's been six years since she was attacked outside the Bloomingdale Regional Library, where she suffered a traumatic brain injury. Her plans, her dreams, her life would change, but through it all Queena never gave up.
"Queena's doing phenomenal. She's improved so much faster over the last five years," her sister Anna Vuong said.
Daily therapy sessions make that possible. She rides there in a wheel-chair accessible van that was donated years ago by the Rough Riders organization.
The family says the van is on its last legs.
"We're getting nervous about how we'll be transporting my sister after the van breaks down," Vuong said.
So on Saturday, Powerhouse Gym in Tampa will host a Dance for Queena Zumbathon event. Zumba is a Latin-dance inspired workout routine.
"So excited, and an honor to be able to do this for them," Rollert said.
"Queena always loved music and it's been a passion of hers, and it's going to be a fundraiser that'll hit home for her," Vuong said.
The event is open to the public. Some 200 people are expected to show up, and you don't need to be a Powerhouse member to get in on the action. Just bring some workout clothes and be ready to sweat.
"She loves Justin Bieber, so that's my warm up I'm going to do tomorrow, so she can hear Justin Bieber," Rollert said.

Important Notice: WonderCafe has Closed
The United Church has sadly come to the decision that WonderCafe needed to close and all new discussion ended June 2014. Read More...
Suppose a situation in which you are filled with joy and excitement. Something good has happened in your life. Your child just had a big promotion. Your grandchild scored a winning goal. You just returned from the trip of a lifetime. You want to share your joy with somebody, anybody, everybody. So whenever anyone shows an interest, asks "How's the family?" "Was that your grandson's picture I saw in the paper?" "How was your trip?" you are ready - perhaps with pictures.
When does sharing your joy become bragging?
Great Discussion Seeler...
I was thinking of this very thing just the other day. Especially after someone shared several weeks ago some wonderful news they had. So the first time they shared it. It was SHARED but then they kept going on and on over and over time after time each time they saw us telling us the same thing and to those of us who were already told. It took on a tone of BRAGGING and GLOATING.
This person didn't miss a single opportunity to remind us that they had been chosen to take part in something their friends had applied to take part in and yet had not been selected. His friends are very happy for him that he had been chosen. However, when the person comes in and in no uncertain terms makes it a point of pointing out that they were selected and the others have not been. Then that changes it from something of joy to be shared and celebrated to something to be loathed and despised.
They (his friends) don't want to take away from his joy in any way. They are happy for him and glad he got selected. Yet, they also don't need to hear about it insistently and in a Gloating/Bragging manner. It cheapens the achievement and turns what was once genuine joy and happiness into. an atmosphere of cringing every time this person is in the same room as they never stop reminding people of what they achieved and the others have not.
So, I say yes SHARE take joy in the happiness you have to share with others or what others have to share with you. Be proud if you have achieved something. Yet remember there is a line between sharing/gloating/bragging. If someone brings it up again on their own and wishes to rehear the story or news or joy. Then by all means re-share it. Yet remember if you love someone, if you are friends with someone, don't bludgeon them repeatedly with it. (unless they are into that sort of thing). Even then show consideration for THEM.
(I'm sure this isn't written exactly as I have it formed in my head right at this moment so please keep that in mind when reading - I'm rushed out the door)
I agree with what Tao said...
Part of it is also the perspective of the listener and where their thoughts are at. I used to have a friend that perceived the mere mention of anything good happening to me as incessant gloating. It got to the point where if I was given an opportunity or a kind word was said about me, I had to keep it to myself and not mention it to this former friend. I got invited to a weekend conference last fall and I was basically forbidden to mention it with him... He was a quite extreme, though, so I suspect there were other issues going on...
On the other hand, I love hearing about the joys and successes of other people. So, to me, talking about something over and over, to the point where other people would perceive it as bragging, really doesn't bother me. There is a point where it becomes too much, of course, but I think my tolerance level is at a further point than most people...
I think the moment someone is proud about something it becomes bragging. So in the above examples, sharing vacation photos isn't necessarily bragging, but mentioning an achievement of a grandchild probably is. I don't think bragging is always a negative thing. I would using gloating as taking it too far.
So go ahead and brag away about your grandchild, child, whoever you are proud of! Just be aware of the person you are bragging to and limit the amount.
Sometimes someone can be proud because they put a lot of work into something. Look I have this job and I got a promotion. He or she is not proud because they are important, but because they have achieved something important to them, that others did not believe possible.
Sometimes a person is saying look I am such and such, I have this job and it means I am better than others.
One is bragging the other is sharing joy.
My parents brag about my kids (their grandkids) every time one of them so much as produces mucus. But I think grandparents get a pass on this sort of bragging. I don't know why - I just think there is an acceptable double-standard in play.
There is a fine line between sharing news, and bragging. Personally, I walk in the opposite direction and openly criticize my own abilities and accomplishments and those of my kids, who are average at best.
My wife is farking brilliant, but I use that mostly as a warning to other men not to marry intelligent women, unless they want to never win another argument again in their entire lives.
I have, at times, been accused of having low self-esteem. I think everyone has a certain level of self-doubt, but I don't think mine is a case of clinical depression or anything. I tend to share information about my family in a self-deprecating way that I hope is seen as humorous and not boring or conceited.
Overall, I have it pretty good, and I recognize there are people struggling out there, in many different ways. Nobody wants to hear about accomplishments and good fortune befalling someone who already has it good. Conversely, if you've been struggling, then you probably have more leeway to share positive news and not come across like an ass.
I wondered if its sharing if I do it, and bragging if someone else does it.
Come on Chansen - don't tell me you weren't proud when you posted that video of your little girl skiing. I certainly enjoyed your sharing of that moment. She is a sweetheart and very accomplished, I'm sure - even if you did end it with the wish that she had accomplished a turn or two. I have an idea that you have two wonderful kids - I love to hear you sharing little things about them. Mind you I have two wonderful grandkids.
I wondered if its sharing if I do it, and bragging if someone else does it.
There's a lot of wisdom in that statement, methinks!
Also, I don't see bragging about another - as opposed to yourself - is necessarily a bad thing.
I've got a thread going on my recent Canadian/Alaska trip. My motivation is to share, not to brag. I'm aware that I'm fortunate to be in a position to make the trip - and besides, what's there to brag about? Literally millions have made the trip before me.
But, when it comes to my family and friends, I do my fair share of bragging.
I'm enormously proud of my eldest grandson for winning a scholarship to university to study engineering. Not content to post it here (now twice!) but I've also posted a photo of him taken with me on Facebook.
Did I mention he's also very handsome, as well as clever???
I wondered if its sharing if I do it, and bragging if someone else does it.
Come on Chansen - don't tell me you weren't proud when you posted that video of your little girl skiing. I certainly enjoyed your sharing of that moment. She is a sweetheart and very accomplished, I'm sure - even if you did end it with the wish that she had accomplished a turn or two. I have an idea that you have two wonderful kids - I love to hear you sharing little things about them. Mind you I have two wonderful grandkids.
No doubt, but I try not to be overt about it, and being self-deprecating makes it less nauseating for some others, I think.
I agree with much of what others have posted. I try (don't succeed always!) to be conscious of context, of considering what I might know about the other person's situation & I hope that this tempers what I may choose to speak of - as this influences how my comments might be perceived.
Bragging, to me, has a negative connotation. To me, it's about getting attention - and often about bringing someone else down while lifting yourself and whoever you are bragging about up.
Sharing is always, at minimum, a neutral event (nobody feels badly at the end of the story). At its' best, it lifts up everyone involved - listener, storyteller and all other participants - in some way.
I think it depends how often you do it and how long you talk about it.
Also who you are doing it too and sometimes there is a reason.
I have a sister in law who constantly 'updates" me on her daughters. She goes on and on and there is alot of "she is such a great kid" editorializing.
But I also know that she has felt competitive with my hubby all her life and has felt second best in her parents eyes. I figure she just needs to do it.
i listen. My kids are more academic and I know there is still that level of competition that she feels.
I also think that as parents we love to talk about our kids but in reality other people really arent' that interested. So i try to not go on about them.
To me, it is sharing when both parties are engaged in the conversation . . . the one sharing is sharing information about themselves/family/friends that is of interest to the party listening - information that highlights good things, accomplishments, and events. The sharer gives the information, shares their joy in the accomplishment. The listener might ask questions, and show joy in it also. There is a going back and forth in the conversation. After the sharer has shared, the sharer asks the listener about things happening in their life.
To me, it becomes bragging when the one bragging just wants to expound on their good fortune, accomplishments, joys, etc. and goes on and on and on . . . without thoughts of the listener. The bragger focuses only on themselves and has no desire to listen to what the listener might have to say. And shows no interest in what is happening in the life of the listener.
Awhile back I was visiting with a friend, who asked about one of my children. I started to tell this friend about a recent accomplishment of my child - one my child and myself were very proud of. I was barely into the story, had something I wanted to share, when the friend immediately expounded onto how their child had accomplished the same feat and went on to expound in great detail further scenario about the same topic in their child's life. I never got to finish my story . . . I have to admit, I was hurt.
To me, is it sharing when it is relevant, enjoyable, meaningful to both parties, and there is interaction. It is bragging when it is one sided, without the one bragging caring about the one to whom they are bragging to.
To me, it is important to be able to share wondrous occasions in my life and the lives of my family/friends with others . . . there is joy in sharing good news and endeavours. It is also important to me to have others share these with me . . . it is important for me to rejoice with others in the good things that is happening in their life. It brings me joy to rejoice with others in these times.
I admit to being a bit sensitive to bragging about kids. My children, for a number of reasons, have not been terribly successful (by any number of measures) thus far. Since, like many mothers, I place a lot of the blame on myself, I find these conversations a bit painful.
I was taught as a kid that it was socially unacceptable to 'sing your own praises' or 'blow your own trumpet'. We should instead acknowledge the achievements of other people and/or family members. To me this sounds like a pretty good recipe even for today. Mostly I don't enjoy hearing other people bragging about their achievements, especially when it goes on too long about nothing much.
To me there is a huge difference between -
"I really enjoyed watching my kid/grandkid playing in a provincial sports event on Saturday. The whole team are very supportive of each other and have learned a lot during the season '
and -
"My kid/grandkid played in provincial sports this weekend and of course, is the star of the team. They wouldn't even have got to the provincial level without my kid/grandkid making all the good plays. S/he is the most talented youngster you could hope to meet and the other children looked like slow moving idiots besides him/her".
Overall, I have it pretty good, and I recognize there are people struggling out there, in many different ways. Nobody wants to hear about accomplishments and good fortune befalling someone who already has it good. Conversely, if you've been struggling, then you probably have more leeway to share positive news and not come across like an ass.
I added emphasis here because I think this is an important point. On a personal level, I've gone through some really tough times over a period of years (one thing after another). Life has settled down for awhile and I've made a commitment to go to the gym in response to a health issue. I've never been a fitness oriented person except for one other brief period in my life.
So, I want to share this with people for a few reasons. One, for a long time when catching up with friends/acquaintances, it was hard to avoid the difficult stuff going on in my life so it's nice to have news that's good. Second, I'm feeling so much better, in respect to the specific health issue but also with my overall health. I quit smoking almost 11 months ago as well. And last, I have never done anything like this before in my life and, frankly, I'm astonished that I can do it. (I did go through military basic training but I was 19 and the physical part of that was forced, which I stopped as soon as I had the chance.)
So, I do tell some people but worry about the bragging thing. I don't know, maybe I just shouldn't say anything.
Good for you, MOF!
For an ex-military gal, it sounds like you've won your stripes.
Life - particularly as we age - has a lot of difficult and painful times. We have a choice, we can be overwhelmed by the "bad" times, or else choose to relish the good times when they occur.
And to help us on our way, there is always that saying, "This too, shall pass" when we're experiencing the painful times.
A good example is a personal one. I am very proud of the volunteer work I have done. my political involvement and I am very proud of being able to make B+ and A- in my University philosophy courses.
However I imagine some would assume I am bragging. I am aware that i have done not nearly as much or important volunteer work as someone like graeme, Pinga and others. , nor political work as Motherof5. Also many people have BAs. However for someone who struggle in youth with an undiagnosed developmental disability and who only aspired to unskilled labour as a youth, and as someone who also became seriously ill in my twenties, I likely talk more about it than others because I am proud of my self for what I have achieved. I am proud that I never gave up or settled for disability. I also think I am a good example for others who struggle.
Is that bragging?
Hi Alex,
Different circumstances but we have the same question. You raise a similar issue, too, when you talk about developmental or other types of disabilities. You have every reason to want to tell people about what you've accomplished in celebration of your achievements, and what you've overcome. The place from which we start is hugely significant, in my opinion.
I wonder if telling others about our accomplishments or those of our family members becomes bragging when it is about establishing position with regard to the other person. And, if it's about the motive behind the telling, how is the person on the receiving end to know? It's not likely that someone will articulate "I'm telling you this because I'm better than you"...
Some late night wonderings...too hot to sleep, Alex? It's only 10 C here right now. We'll be in the single digits tonight, I think.
To me, the difference lies in the intended effect on one's audience. How much of the (sharing/bragging) is for your own benefit, and how much is for theirs? How do you hope they'll feel?
As an aside, I consider the difference between "bragging" and "gloating" to be that bragging comes from pride in something good about yourself, whereas gloating comes from pride in how much better something about yourself is than about your audience.
Its like showing pictures - 2 is enough -a boxful is too many
Ha Ha!
Suck it up, Princess!
I'm about to add some animal pics to my holiday thread.
You are an example, PP. Your thread on your trip could have been 587 pictures but you know my tolerance. You post 3 or 4 pictures and then we all talk. Then you post a couple more and we all talk. You have learned the game. Bring on the animals. hahahaha
I have a friend, who, while in college won a big award. I remember the conversation in which she told me - it went something like this.
Me: So, how was your week?
Her: Well, not too bad. I finished up my classes, handed in some papers and went to choir practice - nothing too major. Oh - and I won an award.
Me: What kind of an award?
Her: It was nothing really - just for my co-op job.
Me: Cool - tell me about the award.
Her: Well, it's kind of embarrassing really, but I won co-op student of the year.
Me: For the whole college? Wow!
Her: Actually, for the whole province. And I was the runner-up nationally.
Me: That's amazing! We should celebrate! But why are you embarrassed?
Her: Well, I liked the job and wanted to do well - but I didn't feel like I deserved any special attention for what I did. The awards ceremony is coming up - you could come if you wanted I guess.
Me: Tell me the date and I'll be there.
She was so afraid of bragging or showing off that us friends had to do it for her - telling everyone that she knew about this amazing accomplishment. We told people, because we were so proud of her and wanted to spread the joy.
Can bragging be done in reverse? For instance, B is an excellent bowler, with an average about 100 (very good in candlepin). Many of us struggle to remain in the low 80s. Every now and then we will hear her complaining about what a bad day she is having. She will mention it not once, or twice, but several times. We glance at her score: 95, 89, 103. Wow! We would be walking on air. We point out the third game. "No," she tells us, "That should have been more. I had three spares and didn't do well on any of them."
I thought I was just feeling a bit jealous and resentful, until a mutual friend told me that she felt the same way.
We have people in our league (seniors) who walk with a cane or who are legally blind. They should for joy and tell us all when they get a strike or even a spare and we all rejoice with them if they break their 84 average.
Seeler: Absolutely. It happens all the time. A very common example for me to see would be the slim girl complaining to her heavier friends about how fat she is. Or the student whose parents pay for their tuition, car, booze, etc...who then complains to those of us with student debt that they havn't got enough money.
I cannot agree enough on this one! Along with the complaint about not having money are the hints that "I saved my money"...I saved mine too, and then it went to my next tuition (sorry slightly bitter)
I think in context is important. If you are talking about your third grandchild to your friend whose grandchild died a year ago don't go on and on. Or if you are happy about your child graduating from high school with honors but your friend who to whom you are telling to their child is an unwed highschool dropout whose bf is in jail maybe keep your pride to yourself because it will make the other person feel bad. I am not saying don't mention it at all but change the subject.
Proverbs 25:20
he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, [and as] vinegar upon nitre , so [is] he that singeth songs to an heavy heart .
So in other words the person may not think that they are bragging but it hurts the person to be joyful with them then it is wrong. Think of a woman who has just had a miscarriage. For some women they bounce back into life and go to baby showers or whatever. Some are inwardly hurting and need to avoid these events.
I totally agree, Serena. I remember one time hosting a dinner party. Three of the four female guests were grandmothers, the fourth had three children approaching middle-age. Two were single, without children - the other's wife had recently miscarried and she was in her 40s. When I realized that much of the table conversation was about grandchildren, I tried to steer it in other directions, but it kept drifting back. I really felt uncomfortable for her. But if it bothered her she didn't let it show.
Two years later, her son and his wife (now 44) had twins - a boy and a girl. She only talks about them if we ask - but the pictures are in her purse, and the joy is in her voice as she tells us about them. Dinner parties are more comfortable now. Would you like to see pictures of my grandchildren. Here is Granddaughter in her dance costume, and Grandson with his two front teeth missing - and this is their dog.

I'm trying to write a script to send emails from a google spreadsheet. My specifications are:
- Send email upon form submit
- Only send to email address listed on form
I have written a sendEmail function. However, it is sending it to ALL the email addresses in the specified column of the spreadsheet. How can I modify it to only send the email to a specific email address at the time the form is submitted?
Here is what I have so far:
function sendEmails() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Form Responses");
var dataRange = sheet.getDataRange();
// Fetch values for each row in the Range.
var data = dataRange.getValues();
for (var i=1;i<data.length;i++) {
// For loop starts from i=1 because we have to start from second row
var emailAddress = data[i][12]; // email address in column N
var message = "Your Coordinator " + data[i][5] + " has submitted a QA Dispute for your review." // body of email message
var subject = "QA Dispute for Call ID: " + data[i][7]; // call ID in column H
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message);

The Next Level Summer Camps at the Liberty Mountain Snowflex Centre take place on one of the largest college campuses in the world. With 7,000 acres, Liberty University is not short for space and continues to develop the best recreational facilities. From the first Snowflex facility in North and South America to the Liberty Mountain Skate Park and world-class hiking and biking trails, Liberty University has it all. The campers are able to visit these facilities during the summer months. Below is a brief overview of the facilities that may be used during our summer camps.
Liberty Mountain Snowflex Centre
The Snowflex Centre is the cornerstone facility for the Next Level Summer Camps. As the first Snowflex facility in North and South America, LMSC continues to grow and expand freestyle snow sports every year since its Grand Opening in August of 2009. The facility has three jump options and over 40 different jibs, boxes, and rails. We are built for one thing: year-round freestyle progression.
The 8,600-square-foot skate park is located in the Candler's Station Shopping Center and is accessible through the Drowsy Poet Coffee Shop courtyard. The facility features a foam pit for learning aerials, as well as a half pipe, rails, boxes, and an observation deck. The park can be used for skateboards, BMX bicycles, and roller blades.
As part of the LaHaye Student Union, the Recreation and Fitness Center offers a 25-yard, six-lane indoor swimming pool; five-court basketball gymnasium; rock climbing wall; and two multi-purpose aerobic rooms.
Also part of the LaHaye Student Union, the Thomas Indoor Soccer Center is perfect for playing a friendly game of soccer. Comprised of two turf fields that are partially surrounded by see-through walls, the facility also features a spectator section, multiple televisions, and wireless capability.
Paintball Fields
LU's Paintball Team now has a place on campus to prepare for competitions. The complex consists of two fields with a retractable netting system made with a protective mesh. Students may watch the team behind the safety of the netting during practices. Future expansion and upgrades to the paintball fields are planned.
More so than ever before, we know it's our responsibility to offer a combination of choices and convenience to the students right here in the main student restaurant, the Reber-Thomas Dining Hall. We offer special events, tastings, and themes throughout the year to keep students engaged and interested in their dining plan, as well as to teach them about forming healthy eating habits and smart alternatives to junk food.
The Hill (Residence Halls M17-M23) is a traditional residence hall community. Centrally located, the Hill is next to DeMoss Hall, the bookstore, and Reber-Thomas dining hall. Laundry facilities are located in M20 and mailbox kiosk locations are in the Hangar, behind DeMoss Hall.
Cinemark Movies 10 is a dollar theater located within Liberty University's Campus, where the movie titles shown are between big box office and Redbox and only cost $2.00. We monitor the titles and ratings and offer a few showings throughout our afternoon activity times. We will allow the campers of 13 to view PG-13, but if this is an issue please let us know. We don't allow anyone to view R-rated movies.

Need Pinot Noir Pairing, STAT!
- o
- OregonKate Mar 22, 2010 10:22 AM
I'm designing a course for light Oregon Pinot Noir, coming after a pinot gris with scallops, and before a syrah with a pork dish. Some guests don't care for duck, so that's out. I tried a salmon pairing and it was wrong. The sweetness of the salmon was not a good match for the wine. I need a dish for this spot on the menu. Perhaps an ahi? Maybe a chicken dish? Got any great pinot noir pairings that would fit this slot? It has to make this wine SHINE! Thanks!
Doing dishes with earthy mushrooms often goes well with Pinot Noir. Maybe a fish with mushroom sauce or even a pasta (tortellini?).
creamy mushroom soup or other soup that's rich and smooth. Or a fish (halibut?) served on green lentils and bacon, maybe a few beets or carrots.
- Roast a mixture of "wild" mushrooms as described here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/5251...
- In a saucepan, combine veal or duck demi-glace with some of the mushroom roasting juices. Simmer and reduce until thick enough to coat a spoon.
- Lightly brush a piece of sushi-grade ahi loin with olive oil. Press some crushed peppercorns (black, white or grains of paradise) into it. Sear briefly in olive oil (the tuna should be raw in the centre). Cut into slices.
- For each serving, pile some of the mushrooms onto a plate. Lay some tuna slices on top so they're overlapping. Drizzle demi-glace sauce around the mushrooms and onto the tuna. Scatter chopped chives over all.
Adapted from a Charlie Trotter recipe. Works beautifully with a supple Pinot Noir.
re: carswell
Look at this post in terms of intensity of flavor, simplicity in execution, and the deceiving amount of elegance.
This could be an extremely small course, almost a tapas plate/small plate -- and served just after a small howdy-do appetizer/cheese course -- a transition from Pinot Noir Champagne-ness to the light Pinot Noir indicated in your post.
I don't know what others think, and -- perhaps it's just the bohemienne in me -- but I'd like to try the light Oregon Pinot Noir and also an aged [PInot Noir-based] Rosé Champagne with this dish. I've found aged Rosé Champages usually meld beautifully with wild mushrooms. I love, love, the Oregon PN Reserves so I'd like to try them as well. I actually suspect this dish has a certain invincibility, so to speak, to pair with with Pinot across the board, and it would sure would be fun to have the experience of experimenting what went well with it.
To help get the show on the road, find duck demi-glace or veal demi-glace in the frozen food section of your gourmet grocery store or fresh from your butcher (call first). Buy the best wild mushrooms you can -- all you need are a few ounces so don't be daunted at the price per pound/kilo. Before searing in a hot hot pan, have your sushi-grade tuna coated with your "crust" stuff. Currently, I grind whole coriander, a few white peppercorns, lemon zest, pistachios and and porcini together (though I always improvise) into a coarse powder to make a crust using a dedicated coffee grinder just for this sort of thing. Then I schmoosh (this is culinary term) the tuna into the grindings so they adhere. Let the tuna rest after searing to obtain ultimate juiciness, take care to cut arty slices, then fan per carswell, etc. etc. etc.
I hate to sound like a goof but this really deserves an elegant serving dish -- something small, for each person, that showcases the elegance and specialness of the dish. A parade of Pinots in varying intensity in an arch across the top of the plate, heaven.
re: maria lorraine
Have trouble imagining pink champers not working, maria. Will have to give it a shot. The grains-of-paradise version paired nicely with a Frappato at a recent all-Occhipinti dinner. Powerful whites like Hermitage and Châteauneuf-du-Pape are another viable option with this dish.
And, yes, definitely save time by using store-bought demi-glace.
re: maria lorraine
Maria - I like the way you party.
re: whiner
Whiner - Monkfish? Do you have the super secret prep that makes this often-disappointing fish something magical?
Not long ago I prepared a really interesting Persian dish called fesenjan (out of pure curiosity as it seemed like such an unlikely way to prepare poultry). Basically it involves stewing chicken or duck pieces in a pomegranate juice and ground walnuts, along with a few other ingredients such as molasses and cinnamon.
While I added the ingredients I pondered on what sort of wine would work well with this. I kept coming back to pinot noir. So many of the flavors seemed to draw parallels with pinot characteristics, particularly Burgundian pinots. Bright fruitiness the pomegranate, earthiness in the walnuts and molasses, delicate and aromatic spice in cinnamon. Much like pinot noir wines, the dish was at once rich and delicate. I think it would be a perfect match.
Then again – the ahi dish sounds pretty awesome too. And probably fits in better with the style of your evening anyway.
I don't think it neccessary to serve a protein for this course. A classic pairing is Croute-aux-Morilles (Morels on toast). I believe morels are just coming into season in your neck of the woods.
750 g of Morels (approximately 1 1/2 lbs)
2 shallots chopped
1 1/2 cups heavy Cream (more if needed)
salt and pepper to taste
Sliced white bread
Serves 6 as a small course
1. Cut the ends of the mushrooms. Do not cut too much. I also cut them in half to be able to clean them well. Morels tend to be sandy.
2. Melt the butter and wait until it is nice and hot. Add the mushrooms. Cook at medium hot. until the morels begin to brown.
3. Add the shallots and Salt and Pepper. Cook until the shallots begin to soften and add the cream.
4. Let it cook a low to medium heat until the cream has reduced. Keep stirring every so often.
5. When your sauce is a nice thick consistency serve over high quality white toasted bread. You can use a toaster, but the more traditional method is to saute the bread in butter until golden.
re: Vinny Barbaresco
Vinny, you got it. Even before I came to your post I was thinking "Morels!" Perfect pairing, IMHO. At Portland Farmers' Mkt this past Saturday several vendors had them. We made morel risotto with shallots, fresh thyme, dried porcini powder, garlic, and leek, all from the market, plus a little sake. With Beran Estate OR PN 2007. An evening to remember...
Have fun Kate. Please report.
Had some Ahi tempura for an app Sunday evening. Had a very night lighter Oregon Pinot Noir. Paired very nicely with the Ahi, also with the veal I had after that.
Cheers from Oregon!
You've got a nice night planned.
I say spring mushroom soup, based on cheap fresh ones and dried porcini. Topped with a few black trumpets and some herbs.
Another suggesiton - if you haven't done many of these wine-paired dinners, restraint on portions and wines is a good thing. Then have lots of extra for the gluttons. Like me.
These are all looking great and I appreciate your input. I'm leaning towards ahi but I need another spicing than pepper because the next course features it. Morels are later here. I'll check the growers market tomorrow, but I don't expect to find them yet. Something ahi, something mushrooms. I'm working on it. This is for the Foris Maple Ranch Pinot Noir 2006. -Kate

Excellent Recipe!! I actually marinated the chicken in a creamy balsamic dressing and a spicy chipotle dip that I made a couple of days ago. This gave it a little kick and my boyfriend LOVED IT. The recipe is easy to follow and very quick. I also let the chicken heat in the oven for about 20 minutes instead of 14 minutes. This gave it a crispier texture.

I baked it a bit longer than called for, then turned on the broiler for a few minutes, but it never got crisp. Breading was soft and mushy. It needs more seasoning, such as Lawry's seasoned salt. This recipe needs work, doubt I will try it again.

It's not just the money that makes the IPL the dream ticket
Over the past five years, I wish I had a pound for every fan or ex-cricketer who said to me the Indian Premier League would have been right up my street.
Let me tell you: of course it would be! A million dollars to bowl a maximum of four overs per game over six weeks work! It's the dream ticket.
The IPL organisers do a superb job: plenty of razzamatazz, colour and personality which make it a truly spectacular event. Don't forget about the dancing girls, fireworks and Bollywood stars on show!
I reckon all those fans and ex-pros might be correct in thinking I would have loved the whole package of the IPL. Well, one of my many nicknames was 'Box Office Gough'.
I believe India will be the only country that will enjoy continued success with this T20 format. That won't just be down to the cricket mad culture in India, but also the fact that India is home to some of the richest businessmen around.
All they want to do with their spare cash is boost their egos and mix with some of the best cricketers from around the world, so what do they do? Buy their own franchise and the players they want (but probably not who the coach wants).
There are nine teams in this year's IPL with each team playing 16 games. By the time the final is played, there will have been a mammoth 75 matches and, remarkably, most of those games will have been played with huge crowds cheering on their teams.
A lot of cynics didn't think the IPL would last but here we are in year five and the tournament is getting bigger and better. Cricketers from around the globe are desperate to get picked up in the auction with a chance to showcase themselves onto the world stage.
Players I've spoken to like Ryan ten Doeschate and KP can't praise the IPL enough. They feel that the whole package is a wonderful experience. The improvement it brings to your one day game is obvious to see. Then there's the improvement to your bank balance of course, let's not forget that!
The downside of the IPL has been certain cricketers have neglected their commitments to their countries in favour of earning megabucks by becoming 'freelance cricketers'. I'm afraid to say this is going to be the norm in 5-10 years. In some cases players have cut short their Test careers by two or three years to make sure they don't miss the money train.
Another negative effect of the IPL is the fact that strike bowlers are disappearing from one day cricket. With teams worried about containing the run rate, wicket-taking bowlers are being replaced by part-time dobbers, as we call them up north.
Remember it's the bowlers that win you matches by taking 10 wickets. Where are the genuine pacemen bowling devastating yorkers?
In the current IPL, only Lasith Maligna, Brett Lee and Dale Steyn come to mind as bowlers able to rip through batsmen with this delivery, and that's a concern. It's also why you'll see too many sixes smashed off mediocre part-time bowlers.
But let's focus on the positives. In addition to the big shots and the razzmatazz, I feel the IPL has also helped improve the standard of fielding around the world.
With so many close games, everyone can see how a run-saving stop can change the result of a match. Fielding is rightly considered as an important skill, making three-dimensional cricketers a must-have in any team.
Follow Darren Gough on Twitter
To keep up with the English county scene I'll be hosting a monthly show called Goughie's LV county catch-up at ecb.co.uk/LVCC. You can watch live editions of the show throughout the summer at www.facebook.com/englandcricket
Lets hope the public doesn't get too interested, else sky will take this away from all of us who cannot afford their subscripions just like every other worthwhile sporting occasion.
Strange how some former international players can no longer "cope" with test cricket, but seem able to stand the rigours and exertions of IPL. Of course it has absolutely nothing to do with money, does it!!!!!!
Well I GIVE UP! The rich are taking everything they can and no one seems to question how they are doing it. I KNOW! Do you want to see how they are getting a ton of cash for their stock budgets? Search the term "FAST STOCK BUDGET" and go to the first site or right to the site with the same name. They have a penny stock page that shows what the rich don't want you to see. If you are tired of being poor and want in on the action, then this is a must see. Be prepared to see other half lives.
get excited about it at all..I like watching Gloucestershire and England.In the IPL, there is no team too give me the highs and lows of watching a team i can identify

press. what can we do? What is the most shocking think we can think of to get us some press?" Like a poorly raised child, bad attention is better than no attention it seems. And if the biggest contribution to society this thing contributes is the ability to have sex with anyone, why would anyone go? Do college students really need instruction on having lower morals
