I search many forums and have common problems, but there is not answers. People address issues what is obviously Samsung's hardware or OS and no one from Samsung to answer.
 The problem is SD card handling. When I restart tablet it does not recognize SD or said damaged or should be reformat (format). I have to remove an insert card and it does not working. A few time reinsert and remove lead success. Nothing missing in card and it works fine. When I try to open some PDF or some pictures it said it is not PDF or picture missing. Files are corrupted. Again removing an reinsert card (again a few time) lead to success and to see files can be opened.
 So where is Samsung to answer? Does anybody have an idea what is problem?

SD card is fine, I can read all on my pc.
 Thanks in advance if anybody respond.

I'm happy enough with the device but something really frustrating.

Under Settings:
- Sound/Volume: set Notifications to zero! and Music etc. to half way
- Display/Screen timeout: After 5 minutes of inactivity

But after powering back or even after waking up from sleep up these settings are often reset! Any way of averting this nonsense.

But how to move all of the past 10 years of events, plus future events up 2015 from the Palm Tungsten to my new Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0.

I was informed that the only way to do this was to firstly set up a Google diary and then via a site called palm2csv.com convert all my Palm calendar data into csv files and then import these files into my Google on-line calendar. It worked, all my past and future events were up-loadable to my Google on-line calendar, although it must be said you can only transfer up to 18 events at a time - I had 1176 events to transfer. I have so far managed to transfer about two thirds of my events to my Google on-line calendar; you can imagine how long that has so far taken. Next I downloaded Google calendar app to my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 and activated synchronize, it synchronized all dates from the present and into the future.

But this is the problem to be solved; the Google app calendar seems utterly incapable of synchronizing any of the past events contained in my Google on-line calendar. So in summery Google on-line calendar recognises the past, but Google calendar app refuses to recognise any past events from its own on-line equivalent, which seems to be a fundamental inconsistency. Can it really be that Google have unanimously decided that no one in the world needs to access any past events in their calendar, surely not; I cannot be the only person in the world having this problem?

Kids are loving it. This app includes phonics, letters and image. As a result of using Kids ABC Game for kids kids will
- learn the letters of the alphabet;
- learn the sound each letter makes;
- remember the words that start with a corresponding letter;
- recognize the way the words are written;
- start reading;
- have fun!

This app was developed by robozox and it is available on Google play.
To find this app go to google play home page and search robozox there you will see the app. Jasmine Princess 2012-11-09T11:25:12Z Mic/Headphones Adapter Cable LBOCEAN urn:androidpit:forum:post:0098766e10e102d528e3468d42dc8498 2012-05-16T18:03:49Z 2012-05-16T18:03:49Z Assembling various cables/connectors, I tested the side audio jack of the Tab and confirmed that it does support a MIC In as well as Headphone Out feature.

Video here: http://youtu.be/WZ5wfsqD5Gc

Having the ability to use an external mic opens up many possibilities for field filming, live broadcasting and personal use such as Skype etc.

However, for prolong use of the jacks feature, it would be optimal to use a much simpler adapter cable that's shorter and lighter in weight.

The newly designed cable would have a right-angle plug, split-out into two audio jacks. One for Mic In, the other for Headphone Out, and would be approx 4-5 inches in length.

I would like to know how many Tab Owner's would be interested in having such a cable before begging production. Approx. Price would be no more than $7.00 dollars.

Poll Question: Please post your reply for an adapter cable that will provide both Mic in and Headphones out utilizing the side jack on the Tab

First of all this whole netflix thing. I mean come on this should have been the first android device that netflix came out on. Does anyone have any suggestions for watching streaming movies legally on the tab. I mean with out that feature the tab is way behind the times.

Also where are all the really cool games for the tab. That modern combat 2 game just came out and nothing for the galaxy tab. Come on that is what the tab is for movies and games right? I would just like to see more games.

My last thought is kies what in the crap were samsung thinking when they made an windows only program. Are you joking. I did not know this when I brought the tab, but it would made me think long and hard about buying the tab. I mean do they know how many people they are messing with. I would like to get updates but I can not. If anyone has ideas please let me.

If you have any ideas or thoughts on games movies or anything good that I am missing out on for my galaxy tab please let me know. I am almost to the point of buyers remorse.

A welder is a trained professional that melds various types of metal together for construction or other purposes. Often welders work in factories, manufacturing plants, production lines or even automobile or steel working plants. Welders can work on large projects or very small detailed projects and may have formal education through vocational training programs or may have completed their training through apprenticeship programs or on the job training.
Welders may work with a variety of types of equipment including torches, hand held plasma cutting machines and even computer systems that are programmed to complete specific designs through plasma cutting systems. Materials that can be welding include steel, brass, aluminum and virtually all other types of metals. Each different type of materials requires specific welding styles and processes, and it is up to the professional welder to choose the methods, machine or tools, as well as the correct welding supplies to complete the job. Incorrect choices lead to welds that do not hold and potential safety hazards as well as missed deadlines with regards to job completion.
Welders often work outside even in very cold and wet conditions. Some welders are specially trained to weld under water on sea or ocean based drilling rigs. Welders are also used in gas pipe construction, shipbuilding, military and aerospace construction and vehicle manufacturing. Welders usually work as part of a production crew but largely work independently reporting back to a foremen or crew supervisor when required.
Common work activities include:
- Selecting tools, equipment and supplies needed for the welding job they have been assigned to.
- Completing welding as required following proper practices and appropriate welding procedures.
- Using safety equipment for welding in various places as required.
- Working as part of the welding crew or team to complete the project within the timeline indicated by the foreman or project team leader.
- Attending trainings and classes to keep up to date on the latest welding technology including the use of computers in plasma welding.

Splitting the bill etiquitte PRIOR to the dinner
- j
- jessicheese Aug 9, 2010 10:20 AM
I'm hoping to be arranging a dinner with about 15-20 people at a local tapas place and am curious for advice on the billing of the meal. In my group we sometimes split the bill evenly and sometimes split based on who ordered what. Sometimes there are people that order more drinks or more expensive items than everyone else, or those who always seem to fall a few bucks short from everyone else.
My question is: Is it rude to state the billing procedures prior to a dinner? i was thinking that in the general email invitation I would state that because it's tapas and everyone will be sharing plates and pitchers together, we would be splitting the check evenly. This way people go in knowing the situation and there aren't any uncomfortable moments when the check comes. Then again, would it be more fair to split the food and ask people to pay for their drinks? I'm curious for thoughts on the etiquette of this....
I think it's perfectly acceptable to let people know beforehand that you will be splitting the bill evenly, especially at a tapas place where sharing is the whole idea *and* where you will probably be ordering many, many more dishes than you would at a regular restaurant. Just explain it fully. I do have a question though:
"Sometimes there are people that order more drinks or more expensive items than everyone else"
Are those people the same people every time, taking advantage of the even bill splitting to order extravagantly for themselves? Because if they are, those people definitely get on the nerves of the people who don't do that. I'm basing my advice on the people I usually go out with, and we don't have (for example) a person who doesn't drink being asked to pay an equal share with someone who orders $50 worth of drinks for themselves. If that's what you are dealing with, you may want to go with splitting the food evenly and paying for drinks separately.
re: Buckethead
I don't think it's "taking advantage" as much as ordering freely without realizing how unbalanced the ordering is. I tend to order what I want when I am out so I'm usually less bothered by this than others are. it's just something I think about when considering the etiquette. I am assuming that everyone will have at least a few drinks, so that balance shouldn't be too off given the number of people attending.
I would clear this with everyone before you go, with this many people it's easiest to split the bill and get everyone to start their own drink tab and pay that separately. Then you don't have the situation where a few have to pay for those who drink the most or the most expensive so no bar tabs on the food bill.
Well, if you are sharing all plates and pitchers of sangria, that's fine, but you may need some agreement about a cap on the numbers of pitchers that are covered, over which the indulgers pay for themselves....
Otherwise, in a group of that size, there's likely to be significant variation on the beverage side of the tab, and the lushes need to pay up.
I'd ask people to split the food evenly and pay for their own drinks. As a non-drinker, I always get so annoyed having to pay for others' drinks. Even among drinkers, not everyone is going to drink the same amount, especially if there are designated drivers in the group.
I think it's great to set expectations ahead of time but, as some others suggest, non-drinkers/DDs shouldn't have to pony up for alcohol. I would hope that after a certain point, adults would all be cognizant enough to realize if they're ordering significantly more (booze or food) than others, and would offer to chip in more.
re: jdinsf
I think most of us would hope for that, but in my experience it doesn't always happen. I drink very little alcohol, not more than one drink per evening/event. I've definitely had some otherwise very mature people "forget" how many drinks they had. The worst offenders are colleagues at the "group dinners" during our semi-annual research meetings. With people from seven different institutions with seven different policies on meal reimbursement, most people are conscious of the cost of their meal, but there are always 2-3 people who leave the rest of us scrambling.
Make it clear that you will be advising the staff when the limit is reached to bring the bill and after that people will be responsible for their own bills. Otherwise, you could get stuck with a huge bill.
You might consider lowering the total for non drinkers or collecting as follows
Food - $40 per person
Wine/beer - $10 per person
Liquor - $15 per person
Non-alcoholic beverages $5 per person
Then a non drinker would pay $45 and a cocktail lover would pay $55
Don't forget to include the tip in the estimations
Unless you want to be monitoring everyone's drinks all night, you should just state that the bill will be split evenly. Plus, you mention pitchers...how are you going to determine who took more from a pitcher?
I am a very light drinker, and yes, it sucks when I am at a dinner such as this and I get stuck paying for twice as much as what I really consumed. But it's not like it happens often.
The people who don't drink, and therefore don't want to pay more, have a choice...they can go with the flow knowing what to expect, or they can stay home.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by ljh403 Blister prevention I get blisters really easily, so I use this on my heels as a preventive measure, and it works great. Even if my feet get wet or sweaty, it stays in place, and since it's clear, it's discrete enough to use with strappy shoes. It's saved me a lot of pain from blisters, and it's way cheaper than using moleskin, etc. Great product. March 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Kristy this product is great I have problems with most adhesives out there but with Nexcare I son't have any problems with the adhesives on any of their products. February 14, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5Â by ParkinPerson Gummy lines last for days When the pharmacy did not have my usual clear tape for a daily patch I wear, I tried your product. The Nexcare flexible clear tape in a dispenser looked easy to use. And it is. However, later in the day it was not sticking as well as my usual brand. Then a couple of days later I was wondering what the blackish lines on my thigh were. Then I realized - even after 3-4 days and as many showers, everywhere I've taped a patch, the gummy black lines are still there! So figure this out - the tape doesn't stick as well, but the sticky residue last forever. July 7, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by randalj Did not stay on well We have used Nexcare flexible bandages for years, but when the store we were at was out of the bantages, we tried the flexible tape.

I wonder if there is an app for 20-somethings to get a real job instead of playing around with apps.
When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now every time a comment is added I get four emails with the exact same comment. Is there any way it is possible to remove me from that service? Thanks!

I got mine with IrfanView which is a great image viewer. Just press I for information.
Image magick has it like this:
identify -format "%[EXIF:*]" "london skyline small.jpg"
i.e. shows just the information which is an exif field.
One of the things that you can do which is very cool is with the orientation field. A lot of cameras now have a hidden little sensor in them so if you take the photo in portrait mode by holding it at 90 deg then it knows and tags it. When you unload all the pics you can get a script to orient them the correct way up and make thumbnails out of them and format up a web page or whatever with that selection of images. If you get IM to resample the images to exactly your monitor res then they would be sharper than viewing them using most other systems though I think that IrfanView uses excellent resample anyway and can be told to look for the orientation tag too I think.
I have also seen the iPhone use a similar sensor so that as you hold it up and rotate the device (in 90deg steps...) the picture stays upright.
Actually on the iMac books they have analog sensors for doing light saber duels... (well do you know any other reason for them ?). I wonder if you could load up a 360 deg sphere panorama and as you move it about it shows the correct angle bit of the image so that the panorama image stays fixed in space. That would be silly.

my wife's Nikon D40 saves images right side up based on the angle sensor. She doesn't have to rotate portrait mode pictures because they're saved correctly. yay!

Candidates for lieutenant governor squared off in a debate in Arlington on Tuesday night.
Democrat Ralph Northam and Republican EW Jackson traded jabs throughout the evening, discussing mainly economic and financial issues.
However, the topic of social issues also came up, and the impact that laws like the Personhood Bill would have on the appeal of Virginia.
"What woman, in her right mind, would want to come to the Commonwealth of Virginia when most forms of contraception have been criminalized, and in vitro fertilization has been criminalized," asked Northam.
"I am unabashedly, pro-life," said Jackson. "I don't make any apologies for that and I will persuade others that it the right thing to do to protect the lives of unborn children."
The candidates also offered opinions about the new federal health care law, part of which begins on the first of October.

How to Be Lazy
Being lazy gets such a bad rap. But have you ever stopped to really work out why? Is it perhaps because all those over-stressed workaholics think the world will fall apart if they take a one-minute breather to do... shock, horror, nothing? Or is it because your faith tells you that laziness is a sin? Or is it because it's just a much repeated "sin" from the seven deadly sins ("sloth") that has been drummed into you from birth as a "no-can-do"?
Take a step back and do a double take. Laziness is not all as bad as it's being made out to be. In fact, being lazy now and then is a pathway to happiness. Shocked by that thought? Hopefully by the end of this article you'll be a laziness champion, ready to help others see the light.
1Reflect on what "lazy" means to you. Depending on your background and beliefs the import of "being lazy" will likely differ but ultimately, it's a term that tends to carry a negative implication about not pulling one's weight or not doing things when other people are doing a lot; it also tends to imply that a person does little to improve themselves or their living standards. However, what about seeing lazy in a different light? How about seeing lazy as meaning that your mind and body want to rest? Many people would be far less stressed and a lot happier and attuned to their own real body pace if they gave in to heeding the body's and mind's cry for a "bit of lazy" now and then. Some other possible re-visioning for "lazy" include:
- Lazy means you're probably getting a bit tired of something that is mundane and routine. And who said we have to love the mundane and routine of life? Sure, we can be grateful for all we have and for those around us but this doesn't need to extend to being grateful for dull routine!
- Lazy can mean you've got an internal struggle going on about what you think you should be doing and what you'd rather be doing. And maybe those "shoulds" are visited on you by external pressures...
- Lazy can mean that someone else is not doing what you want them to or vice versa. It's not necessarily lazy then; it could be tied up in control issues (manipulating them into doing things) or in an inability to communicate clearly, and calling the behavior lazy is an easy excuse.
- Lazy means you've got something truly relaxing in mind. Like nothing, totally nothing at all, including leaving that unwashed pile of dishes... unwashed. Is that so bad when it's an irregular, spontaneous occurrence? What about the benefits like renewed vigor and a sense of well-being? They're huge benefits!
2Reflect on how your lazy self can bring you to work out how to do less. Since when has getting the job done with less effort being a vice? Do you prefer to do things the hard way all the time? If so, whatever for? If the same result can be achieved with less effort, why not take that path and listen to your laziness? Think about this reality before leaping to a puritanical response: just about all of the advances in technology today are the result of laziness. We drive cars instead of walking because we're too lazy to walk. We use washing machines to wash our clothes because we're too lazy to be putting in that scrubbing effort. We use computers because we're too lazy to write it all out by hand (and besides which, typing is faster, so it's done sooner, so we can relax faster). The good side to laziness is that there isn't anything wrong with working out better ways to do things with less stress, less energy, and less time involved. Yet it is important to acknowledge the traditional challenges you're likely to feel about embracing the positives of being lazy now and then. Here are some of the retorts that are possibly in your head right now:
- But it's not good to rely on machines to do our work! Why ever not? If you're worried they're "taking over", then put them back in their place. If you're worried about losing your own skills, then don't; keep up your skills as well as using machines.
- But our laziness is ruining the planet. Actually, it's not our laziness that's doing that; sure, we've invented time-saving devices that use resources but somehow we've managed to find even more ways to ensure we don't get the benefit of the time the machines were meant to free up for us. And it's not laziness creating all those endless fad widgets, along with paper piles, invoices, and strategic plans! The ultimate irony could be that our laziness (not wanting to revert to hand washing clothes and losing our convenience lifestyles) could be the generator of energy-efficient solutions that allow us to keep living easy all while restoring the environment; that would be a win-win.
- But, but, but, laziness is just bad. Well, you can keep thinking that if it makes you happier. Does it?
3Consider who or what benefits from the busy, ever-working you. Every time you complain that your job consumes your soul and runs your life by the time sheet, you're actually complaining that you don't have the time to really switch off. As a generalization, the idea of lazy people isn't good for business and judgmental terms such as "bums", "good-for-nothings", "bludgers", and "time-wasters", are given to those who are not thought pulling their weight enough. We worry incessantly that someone might label us this way, even as we dare to label others lazy whenever we feel overworked. And while a rested worker is actually a more productive and happy one, ironically many people work longer hours than they need to because the focus is on being seen to be busy rather than on being productive in a shorter space of time. Ultimately though, a society that encourages work-life balance and a sense of knowing when enough is enough is likely to be more, not less, productive.
- The "virtue" matched to the "vice" of sloth is "diligence". For some, the art of applying oneself to the task at hand with a zealous and unquestioning belief in the worth of working hard has become more about working longer hours to earn more money and to impress others. Yet, this isn't how everyone sees the world; indeed, the Danes work a 37 hour week, find most of their wages consumed by taxes (in return for excellent social benefits), and have an average of six weeks vacation,[1] yet they consistently score as one of the happiest nations on Earth. That extra time away from work is spent doing other things they enjoy and is a recognition that all work and no play makes for a dull population. Maybe diligence could learn a little from sloth, in that allowing the mind and body rest ensures renewed strength and inspiration.
- Laziness is nuanced, just as diligence is – neither is wholly good nor bad and each has their place in moderation. Insisting that one is good and one is evil is too simplistic and denies your opportunity to give in to moments of sheer restfulness.
4Redefine productivity. The how of being lazy is pretty straightforward (as it should be). At first it may seem paradoxical to you that doing less (aka being lazy) can mean you're more productive. However, what's really going on here is a shift in your definition of "productivity". If you view being productive as "doing more", "getting more done", or perhaps the extreme of "never being caught doing nothing", then the idea of being lazy will probably freak you out. On the other hand, if you define "productivity" as a means of making the most of what you do do, as a way of making the most of the time you do set aside for working (or for doing anything), and about being as effective as you can possibly be within the parameters of the time and energy you have allotted, then doing less or being lazy is actually the best way to be productive.
- Consider: you can work all day in a flurry of frenetic activity, only to achieve very little, especially when it's assessed in terms of a lasting achievement. Or, you can do just a few things in each hour but make them key actions that result in real achievement. In the second example, you did less, but the time you spent counted for more. At this point, take a long hard look at your work method and be honest as to whether or not half of what you do is about "looking busy" rather than "being productive".
5Be smarter. If you're lazy, then the choice is simple. Do less. But do it smartly: the lazy person makes every second count when they're doing something. If the action isn't going to count, isn't going to shave time off and free you up sooner, then either don't do it, or work out how it can be done in a way that does lessen the time and pain of input to allow you to do less.
- Send fewer emails but make the ones you do send more important. As an added benefit to doing this, people will take notice when you do send them and treat them with more import than if you're always sending emails to a) cover your back and b) prove you're working.
- Stamp this message to your forehead (okay, just write it on a Post-It note and put it somewhere obvious): Laziness does not mean that less is more; laziness means that less is better.
6Improve your life with lots of doing less. Every part of your life can benefit from doing less.
- Allow yourself weekend lie-ins. There is a lot of sleep research about that suggests regular sleep patterns are important to maintain, so sudden changes to your sleeping habits are not recommended. However, a lie-in is not about sleeping; it is about staying in bed and indulging yourself. Read a good book, eat breakfast in bed, draw in bed, or do anything you fancy while simply chilling out in bed. Invite the pets and the kids to loll about with you; first, pets are naturals at being lazy at all the right times, and second, you can never teach kids too young that chilling is an important part of being whole and healthy.
- Shop less. Less shopping gives you more time to be doing enjoyable things, like spending time with your friends, spouse, or kids, or hanging around the beach. Have a list, a plan, and do your shopping only when needed. And spending less means you acquire less, so then you own less, which means you have less to maintain and clean, and you're in better financial shape without the clutter. How's that for laziness?
- Shelve your busy-bee. Busyness is a habit (often unquestioned), not a pathway to success. Needing to look and be busy all the time will reduce your productiveness dramatically because your focus is on the busy, not the achievement. Instead of running around doing lots of things, slow down. Do less and live a calmer, more peaceful life. Be content to sit, to do nothing. Relax a little. Smile and be happy.
- Simplify your life. Own less clothes, less cars, less stuff, less anything that needs maintenance, time, attention and elbow grease.
7Let someone else do it. This is not about manipulation; it's about letting the right person for the task do it. If they're willing, happy, and most competent at the task, leave them be and don't interfere. Many of us carry guilt about letting someone get on with something, even where that person has made it clear they're best doing it on their own, because we feel compelled to help; sometimes our help is nothing more than a hindrance, and at other times, it can be viewed as overbearing and unwelcome. For those in management positions, trust that your staff, child, or volunteer is capable and don't over-manage or over-parent them. Doing less managing gives employees, children, or volunteers the freedom, the chance to explore their creativity, the room to learn on their own, and the space to succeed and fail. The less you do, the more others figure out how to do things. You can guide and teach but don't interfere.
- It's best to share the cleaning, cooking, organizing, and garbage removal duties. Most people usually find them inherently tiresome, so share them for a sense of togetherness at least and prompt progress to something more enjoyable. It is quite possible that household duties are the original source of the wrath against laziness!
- Delegate and trust your delegation. Many hands make light work, for everyone. Give everyone the chance to go home earlier by sharing the burden as a team or group, whether it's work, the local church gala, or a big wiki meet-up.
8Hop off the communications bandwagon. Constant online interactions without putting boundaries on your input can end up being time-sucking work instead of being fun or productive. Communicate less and give yourself lazy space. Less talking, less convincing, less yelling, less arguing, less emails, less IM, less phone calling, less checking in. We're living in a world where many don't know or don't want to know where to place limits on communicating anymore, so much so that if feels like a chore, an obligation, and if we don't keep it up, we feel bizarre guilt or even as if we're slighting people by withdrawing. Yet so much of this talk is nothing but jabbering at each other, with very little listening. It is noise.
- Let silence into your life. Let stillness pervade your mind. Let yourself be lazy about your online, social media, and texting "obligations".
- Make every email count. Only instant message when it's necessary.
- Spend less time on the phone, on Twitter, on the Blackberry, Android, and iPhone, and more time with... humans, with yourself, your favorite book, and spend more time in the present.
9Do things when they need doing. This sounds like work! The reality though, is that many things are best done immediately to save greater effort later. A true devotee of the doing less and being lazy crowd will have long ago realized this, that much of true work results from not doing something well at the start. For example:
- Learn to write really good first drafts quickly. It can be done with practice.
- Fold your clothes after removing them from the dryer or taking them off the line. They're ready to be put away immediately and they'll crease far less than if left to sit in the dryer or clothes basket for days on end.
- Paint the house right the first time. If you don't, you'll spend many hours fixing the botch job. Most renovation and building jobs have exactly the same principle underlying them; do it right to begin with and you'll have far less maintenance and fixing work later.
- Read your emails, then act on them as they arrive. When you leave them sitting around "to deal with later", invariably it turns into a Herculean task you don't want to face, you then resent, and you then feel mired in. If they're not worth your attention at all, delete them immediately; for those that can be replied to immediately, do so. Try to keep the emails you sit on down to a minimum of 5 percent of your in-box, and have a very good reason for doing so (such as finding out a correct answer, or sleeping on an angry response).
- Buy your seasonal or celebratory gifts well in advance of the day before. You'll be less rushed and you won't feel hassled; the lazy person has time to avoid rushes.
10Quit moaning. Lazy people don't complain; first, it takes too much energy and second, complaining is sourced from a sense of unfairness, missing out, and feeling worn into-the-ground. Less complaining and criticizing frees up time and mental space for more creative thinking and more resourceful responses to situations, including finding more productive ways of solving your problems through less focus on blame and more focus on solutions.
- Everyone moans and criticizes now and then. Just don't let it be a habit and get used to catching yourself at it and reminding yourself of all the energy it's wasting and how you could be more productively using that time to relax and move on from whatever has bothered you. Or, if it's really big, you could be spending time doing something constructive rather than moaning, like writing a letter to your local representative or spray-painting your huge protest sign for a sit-in on a comfortable cushion.
- Cultivate compassion, acceptance, love and understanding. They are the antidote to complaining.
- Stop catastrophizing. It may never happen and even if it does, will your worrying make it any better? Perhaps it's just that you like being proven right so that you can shake your finger and say "I told you so" but there are better ways of dealing with the future than worrying and fussing about it. Learn to go with the flow, look for opportunities, find the natural path of things, and do what is needed in the moment. You can't control outcomes but if you learn to work fluidly and have constructively readied yourself for events (such as putting your emergency kit into place), then you can modify the impact of the outcome's impact on you.
11Be spontaneously lazy. Once in a while, do things differently. Sleep on the couch in all of your clothes by choice (and not just because you're too drunk to move). Create a tent from blankets with your kids and crawl in and just fall asleep in a heap together. Lie on the grass and count the clouds or stars until you can't be bothered, and just drift off. Don't get dressed all Sunday if you don't feel like it; bother what the neighbors think.
- Go with the flow. Just let things happen. Step back and let things happen without you.
- Don't force things. Be like the water that finds the path of least resistance and smooths the way as it flows.
- Find life's pressure points and push those instead of pushing brick walls. Find where things give with the least amount of pressure. This takes smarts, not evasion of responsibility.
12Just do it. Less, that is.
We could really use your help!
hair styling?
hair care?
credit cards?
|You can even get healthy while staying lazy!
- Consider setting aside one time a week to be lazy. Perhaps your Sunday, perhaps one afternoon or evening. Just make it a time for you, for chilling, and for not responding to anything, no matter how much guilt it produces initially. You'll grow into this space with time and come to guard it fiercely for the sense of balance it restores in your life.
- Many hunter and gatherer tribes had patterns involving doing the least possible other than that requires to sustain their basic needs. Reducing things to basic needs can go a long way to freeing up your time for activities and thinking you'd rather be doing.
- Being lazy all the time comes with a cost if you're not being smart about doing less.
- Doing things that you enjoy doing does not break the laziness. If you're just socializing online and enjoying chatting about birds or model ships, that's not being a workaholic. Different people have different types of relaxation. Dance can be relaxation as much as sitting still. It's the state of mind you're in - most of all it's in doing it because you enjoy it rather than worrying about any results.
- Don't beat yourself up for chilling; it's permitted! Rename it "soul restoration" if you must, but don't feel you have to apologize for doing less and getting more out of life.
- Some people are born "stress-bunnies" who need to keep busy and to comment on other people's lack of busyness. For such people, being busy is a habit and a moral judgment. You might want to give them a wide berth most days.
- If you goof off with a hobby like drawing for years, you may reach a point of skill where people expect you to become professional. Seriously ask yourself if you want to turn it into a job and change its place in your life. If you do change careers to follow a hobby that turned into a dream, it's vital to take up a new hobby that you can keep in its place for goofing off without worrying about whether it's any good! However, marketing enough of your crafts and hobbies to pay for their materials is just elegant when it comes to budgeting, part of keeping your life simple.
- Don't equate laziness with permanent slovenliness or the cockroaches will become your new residents. Occasional unwashed dishes and smelly towels are fine; it's when you're tying open the kitchen door to let the stench of unwashed dishes waft out that you've got a major hygiene and self-care problem instead of a quest for doing less with your time...
- Avoid manipulating or blackmailing others to do things for you. That's not laziness, that is manipulation and blackmailing, which is about trying to control people. And as with all things that are about control, it's an action that takes a lot of energy to plan and sustain. So it's not the lazy person's way and it's also rotten karma.

Handeland is back with a striking new series, The Phoenix Chronicles, narrated by a heroine thrown headfirst into a fairly apocalyptic scenario. With sex and power intertwined, there's a decidedly sexy edge to this book. Handeland looks to have another winner of a series on her hands!
While ex-cop Liz Phoenix has always known she was psychic, she's not aware of the frightening destiny that awaits her. When her foster mother, Ruthie, is brutally attacked, she manages to tell Liz before she dies that "the final battle" has begun, and Liz must fight it.
It's up to fellow ex-foster kid Jimmy Sanducci to fill in the blanks. Ruthie had been a powerful seer, and Jimmy her demon-killing tool. Now it's up to Liz. Despite her reservations, she has no choice, for someone or something is sending nasty supernatural assassins after her. (ST. MARTIN'S, Nov., 352 pp., $6.99)

Watch out - a secret housing boom is taking us back to the 80s
News that mortgage lending reached £11 billion last month has not been greeted with the attention it deserves. The reports have all been downpage items - ten years ago they would have been front page news - and while several pointed out that the figure is a record, they also claimed that records only started in 1997, and dismissed any suggestion that the market might be 'poised to return to a 1980s-style boom.' Anything suspicious about that? Well yes.

Happy to say that I am 1 week into eating a plant-based diet, and am losing weight effortlessly. Heart disease runs in my family, so I initially became interested in this eating plan when I saw Dr. Fuhrman on The Dr. Oz Show showing the gigantic benefits to our health that eating a diet of vegetable and fruits offers. He did not lie. His plan is called Eat to Live. You should check it out. I joined a Face Book group that is extremely supportive with offering adaptions of recipes etc., but 2 HUGE salads a day plus a cup of beans is something any of us can do. :)
My way is to DO something. So after my moment of " What's wrong, Why me? Why isn't this working anymore?" (suspecting it's my body just getting old and slowing down), I do my research to form my "Never-say-die" plan. I did it before -- OK so now it's harder, but I'll do it again, AND boy will I ever remember how hard it was to get if off, so I'll stick to the life-plan this time!
So I'll share my notes with you. These are all actions that will rev up your metabolism. Do as many as you can:
Begin the day with yoga. A couple of complete sun salutations will do, or for a bit more, do Dr. Oz's morning routine. www.oprah.com/health/Dr-Ozs-7-Minute-Morning-Workout-Routine
Drink some cold water with lemon (some suggest adding fiber to the water).
Eat 4 times a day.
Cut sugar.
Lower carbs (all carbs) and fat.
Take 500 mg. of white bean extract 1/2 hour before breakfast.
Eat a high protein breakfast (eggs or protein powder smoothies are great).
Take 50 mg. of forskolin.
Snack on tahini dip.
Go for a brisk half-hour walk.
Eat peppers with your high protein & veggie lunch.
Use olive oil.
Drink green tea (or even better, take green tea capsules containing 70% EGCG)
Eat peppers with lunch, as well as dill weed and chives.
Chew sugarless gum.
Do strength training.
Drink LOTS of water.
Cook dinner with coconut oil.
Have 1 glass red wine or coffee, tea or dairy with dinner.
On a normal day, don't cut your calories below 1,000.
Once or twice a week detox: Eat organic, drink lots of water and tea, eat lots of veggies, exercise mildly.
OK, now I'm ready to rock and roll these last stubborn 9 pounds off. If you have a trick to rev the metabolism, I'm open. Please share.
A VERY interesting short video. Before viewing, what fruits would you guess fight cancer the best?

Infection Control
The list below provides information, tools and materials related to strengthening infection prevention and control.
1. Design database for health facility improvements
This database, hosted through MASS Design Group, effectively integrates case studies with pragmatic rules of thumb for building healthcare facilities in resource limited countries. This is designed to provide content that can immediately contribute to improving health outcomes when used to create better health facilities and infrastructure.
2. Infection Prevention and Control: Training Curriculum for Healthcare Workers
Preventing infections in healthcare facilities is crucial, especially in the context of HIV and TB. All healthcare workers have a responsibility to practice effective infection prevention measures to protect themselves and their clients from acquiring an infection. Providing education and training to healthcare staff is an important strategy in implementing an infection prevention program. However, equally important is organizing a means of setting and measuring compliance to standards, identifying problems and finding ways to improve infection prevention practices. This manual and training curriculum provide information to begin improving infection prevention practices in health facilities and home based care.
3. Bangladesh National Infection Control Guidelines
In 2011, the TB CARE II Project worked with the Bangladesh National TB Program to develop the first ever Guidelines for TB Infection Control in Bangladesh. Components of the guidelines include:
- The rationale for TB infection control and the pathogenesis and transmission of TB.
- A detailed description of recommended practices for managerial, administrative, environmental and personal protective measures, with specific recommendations for the context of Bangladesh.
- Infection control measures for specific settings such as public spaces and households.
- Photographs taken from the country's TB facilities, dmeonstrating correct infection control practices.
- Tools and methods for conducting facility assessments, screening health care providers for TB, calculating air flow and exchange of air, etc.
4. Occupational Safety Framework for TB
The development of comprehensive approaches to protect healthcare workers from occupational risk of TB is greatly needed for high TB burden countries. Appropriate occupational safety policy frameworks and workers' compensation schemes are essential to provide adequate mechanisms for mitigating TB burden among healthcare workers, as well as preservation of their mental, physical and emotional health. TB CARE II conducted a review of the current information on TB risk among healthcare workers which includes a summary of existing OSH policies/guidelines by the international agencies such as WHO and ILO; an examination of the strategies that are being used in healthcare-related work settings to mitigate the risk of occupationally-acquired TB including use of infection control plans (including implementation at the operational level); and existing legislative frameworks/ policies around occupational safety and worker's compensation for healthcare professionals and health center staff. This information led to the development of a summary framework providing actionable steps to assist high burden countries in developing/implementing key TB occupational safety policies, implementation plans and minimum worker's compensation protocols. The framework was presented to TB implementers and stakeholders for review and revision during the 42nd Annual IUATLD meeting in Lille, France in October 2011.

Venture capitalists heart software
Summary: Software startups and growth companies received $2.3 billion in funding from investors during the second quarter of 2012 — the highest investment total for the sector since the second quarter of 2001.
So far, this has been a good year to start or grow a software or Internet company. Money has been flowing in from the venture capital segment.
That's the word from the latest MoneyTree Report from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) and the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA), based on data provided by Thomson Reuters.
The software industry received the highest level of funding for all industries, the report states, with $2.3 billion out of $7 billion invested during the second quarter of 2012 — the highest investment total for the sector since the second quarter of 2001. This level of investment represents a 38 percent increase in dollars, compared to $1.7 billion invested in the first quarter. The software industry also had the most deals completed in Q2 with 290 rounds, which represents a 16 percent increase from the 251 rounds completed in the first quarter of 2012.
Internet-specific companies received the second highest level of investment in more than a decade with $1.8 billion going into 261 deals, a 22 percent increase in dollars and a 31 percent increase in deals from the first quarter, when $1.5 billion went into 199 deals. The MoneyTree analysis puts investment in Internet companies as surpassing the $1 billion dollar mark each quarter for the past two years, and two of the top 10 deals for the quarter were in the Internet-specific category. "Internet-specific" is a discrete classification assigned to a company with a business model that is fundamentally dependent on the Internet, regardless of the company's primary industry category.
"Software and Internet companies continue to be attractive industries for VCs since most of these companies tend to be capital efficient and don't require large amounts of capital to operate," says Tracy Lefteroff, global managing partner of the venture capital practice at PwC US.(Photo: Wikipedia.)

According to the latest annual report of the Chicago Teachers Pension Fund, the average teacher who retired in 2011 after 30 or more years of employment—what passes for a full career in the public sector—had a final salary of $105,888 and will receive an annual guaranteed pension of $78,576. The salary puts the average Chicago teacher in the top 5% or so of workers nationwide, while even fewer private sector workers will receive a pension that generous. The obvious conclusion? Let's strike.
4 thoughts on "How well paid are Chicago school teachers?"
I just retired from teaching at age 60 in California (which I dare say probably has a higher cost of living than Chicago) and with 27 years of combined public service. Their retirement is what I was earning and my retirement pay is 74% of that (2% for each year of service).
Yeah, the Chicago teachers DESERVE to be pointed out as GREEDY! (but Chicago is the place of the Chicago Machine that helped put a FRAUD in the White House, so it all makes sense)
I think it's $77,496. Schedule of average Benefit Payments table, Average Monthly Pension * 12, right? Or $6,458*12? $78,576 would be $6,548* 12 – it's just an inversion of two digits. (It's obviously not meaningfully different, I was just trying to figure out where the numbers came from.)
According to a recent analysis in the Chicago Sun Times (http://www.suntimes.com/14298715-460/blue-collar-suburbs-offer-blue-chip-teacher-pay.html), teacher salaries max out in Chicago at about $95,000.
Because I don't like to accept assertions without checking them out, I checked the Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund annual report that was linked to by Mr. Biggs above to see if Mr. Biggs was taking liberties with facts. He is correct. See page 110 of the report. If you want to check for yourself, be warned: you will have to employ "advanced" mathematical skills in multiplying the monthly salary and pension figures by the number of months in a year (hint: that would be "12″)

The thought of traveling to a distant star is daunting enough, let alone the prospect of facing millions of years of flight time to reach the nearest galaxy. Remarkably, the discovery of galaxy-escaping hypervelocity stars may provide a solution. »
In 2012, NASA physicist Harold White revealed that he and a team were working on a design for a faster-than-light ship. Now he's collaborated with an artist to create a new, more realistic design of what such a ship might actually look like. »
Radiation in space is one of the major obstacles to human exploration of the solar system. Astronauts on a round-trip to Mars could be exposed to radiation doses 66,000 times higher than on Earth. But recent research into magnetic fields on the Moon could help us design effective radiation shields. »
CalTech astronomer Fritz Zwicky was the first to conceive of dark matter, supernovas and neutron stars. He also had a theory about colonizing the solar system using nuclear bombs. We could terraform other planets, he argued, by pulverizing them and then moving them closer or further from the sun. »
As part of investigations into the impact of long-duration space travel on squishy biological creatures, researchers at Johns Hopkins University blasted rats with high-speed particles. Shockingly, the irradiated rats failed to develop awesome superpowers, instead developing cognitive issues. Whoops. »

Stephen Baxter's new novel Proxima includes a sentient solar sail, but this unique type of spacecraft has a long history in science fiction — and an even longer one in science. Though the idea is 400 years old, it might still become the kind of vessel that we eventually ride to the stars. »

As if Star Trek didn't already provide enough futuristic inspiration, scientists from the UK are working on an actual deflector shield that could protect astronauts from dangerous levels of radiation. And it would work in a way that's very similar to how we're protected right here on Earth. »
Scientists have discovered that two tiny, clawless, tree-living lemur species hibernate. Underground. For up to six months a year. Given that the furry animals are primates, the findings have exciting implications for possible human hibernation. »

MONROE, La. (AP) - State police say two teenagers helped rescue
a man and his son whose car ran into Cheniere Lake.
Fourteen-year-old Chris Smith and 19-year-old Josh McDowel said they wish they could also have helped the man's wife,
who died Saturday night.
Troopers say 28-year-old Jessica Kelley died at the scene but
36-year-old Steven Kelley and his 3-year-old son, Jack, suffered
minor injuries.
Smith says that when he and McDowell saw lights in the water
Saturday night, they thought it was a boat. He says that when they
realized it was headlights, McDowell stopped and jumped in
McDowell says that after helping Kelley out, he had to stay
under water for some time to get the boy out of his car seat.
State police say the case remains under investigation.

Annie (feat. Bjarne Melgaard; dir. Richard Kern) - Russian Kiss
Show your love for the lovers, the others, the fighters, outsiders, people like you
As we know, Vladimir Putin has introduced laws prohibiting gays and lesbians to show their love in public in Russia. Furthermore, it is prohibited to talk positively about homosexuality in public [including at the Olympic Games in Sochi].
Therefore, at the beginning of December, together with the Norwegian songwriter and performer Annie, [Bjarne Melgaard] took the initiative to Russian Kiss: a short movie about the right to kiss one's beloved — regardless of sexual orientation — wherever one likes. [Directed by Richard Kern.]
