I don't know about you, but Christmas wore me out! Is it always this exciting?
Santa came and visited me last night, but no one told me it was him and I thought I was getting a new doctor! It's probably a good thing he's not my doctor though - I think his beard might get sucked into my ventilator.
I just want to share with you, in a few sentences, what I am grateful for today.
The ultrasound of my brain didn't reveal any bleeding to the doctor, but I could've told him that. They say the risk of that is highest in the first few days after leaving mommy's warm tummy. I am grateful that my brain isn't bleeding.
I'm also thankful that I don't have CMV. If you don't know what that is, do what my daddy did and google it. I'll just tell you it's nothing more than a cold virus for you, but would sure hurt me.
The doctor said that he could see my lungs beginning to develop for the first time today. He said, "I don't know how he was breathing for the first five days." Well, I know how. That's why I'm thankful for angels. Sometimes you can't do things for yourself, like preach the Gospel or breath air, and that's when He sends the angels.
I am especially thankful for my mommy and that she got to go home for Christmas today. She had a rough time in here, but she's too tough to stay sick. She walked out of the hospital herself today, but not before visiting me for a long time. I am thankful for my mommy.
Merry Christmas everybody, and if you ever doubt that miracles happen, just think of me! I'm not saying it's easy or that trials end quickly, but things could be a lot harder without Heavenly Father and his perfectly empathetic Son. They make up the difference, and I am thankful for that!

TranSolutions was created as a direct result of Joe Celestina's frustrations managing freight claims.
Celestina started his career in logistics as a logistics manager for Sherwin Williams in 1985. There, one of his key responsibilities was overseeing freight claims processing.
The only option at the time was to file the forms manually. It was a long and continual process. The redundancy, the inefficiency, and the continual mental drain of trying to track so many details were frustrating. It was demoralizing to see the sheer waste of time and resources.
In an effort to solve the problem, Celestina approached his brother, a software developer. Together they developed a program to automate the filing process. They created forms that could be pre-populated, carrier letters saved as templates, and automated reminders to keep track of deadlines. Then they put everything into a central database that could store all the information and documents in one place. It was an instant success.
MyEZClaim Today
Fast forward two decades and the basic system has grown. MyEZClaim has gone from a simple way to speed the process of freight claim filing, into a sophisticated system that includes reporting features for even the most savvy data-miner. Claims managers are now using MyEZClaim to prevent freight damages, in addition to processing their claims.
TranSolutions has now serviced many of the corporations that have recognizable brands world-wide including Fortune 1000 companies such as Best Buy, Cabela's, Caterpillar, McCain Foods, Conoco Philips, Costco, General Electric, Hewlett Packard, Home Depot, Johnson & Johnson, Kohl's, L'Oreal Paris, Mars, Neiman Marcus, Nike, Nordstrom, Phillips Electronics, Restoration Hardware, TJX, ConAgra Foods as well as companies as small as two employees.
A More Inclusive Offering
After focusing exclusively on claim management for claimants, TranSolutions is now expanding their offering to service carriers. The new CarrierClaim module offers the same robust features as MyEZClaim, as well as carrier-specific features, such as tracking for salvage sales. CarrierClaim even allows carriers to import claims from their shippers' MyEZClaim systems, reducing the need for data entry.
Working on Prevention
TranSolutions has always placed a strong emphasis on prevention. MyEZClaim helps users accomplish this by making it easy to find trends in the data. In 2014, TranSolutions expanded this effort with their Carrier Wise module. This module helps users monitor their carriers' insurance to make sure that they hold sufficient, up-to-date insurance. In this way, it helps ensure that when a claim occurs, carriers will be able to pay it.
Moving Forward
Moving forward, TranSolutions continues to update each module based on customer feedback. They also develop new systems based on their clients' needs. With a strong team and a focus on customer service, TranSolutions looks forward to the future.

I have just downloaded RabbitMQ and I have some basic questions.
I have WCF services that must be used to produce informations to Flex/AIR clients. I would like to use RabbitMQ in this application. The best solution for me would be to integrate RabbitMQ with my WCF Services and produce informations to my ActionScript Clients.
1) How can my WCF Service be called when a message reaches a queue in my RabbitMQ Server ???
2) Using WCF Services is the best way to manage my queues or should I develop a Windows Service ??? I can use my Business Model without using WCF. Which is the best and most popular way to work with C# and RabbitMQ
3) Do Spring intend to develop an AS3 RabbitMQ client ???
Thanks in advance

Societal Control – "…Rev. Dr. James Christie directs the Ridd Institute for Religion and Global Policy at the U of W. He said opposition to the legislation is not about religious freedom. "It's essentially about control – societal control and that is clearly not a gospel value, and it is not something the Christian leadership quite frankly ought to ever promote," said Christie. Christie said faith should not be so fragile that it could be shaken by teens who want to form a club at school…" – CBC News, Mar 11, 2013 (READ MORE)
Religious Freedom – "…The other problem with this bill is that it threatens religious freedom. Specifically, Bill 18 requires all schools, including independent faith-based schools, to facilitate student groups that may undermine the schools' religious values. In its enthusiasm to stamp out bullying, the Manitoba government appears prepared to run roughshod over the right of private religious schools to uphold their faith. If this sounds eerily familiar, look at what happened last year in Ontario. The McGuinty government's Bill 13, Accepting Schools Act, contained a similar provision mandating specific student groups in schools. Despite strong opposition from Catholic school boards, the government passed the legislation, ignoring their concerns. Obviously, some people will say that since some faith-based schools receive government funding, they should accept Bill 18 without question. However, the acceptance of funding should not eliminate the constitutional guarantee of religious freedom. Many parents, in fact, choose faith-based schools specifically because of the school's values. Until now, the Manitoba government has been careful to respect the religious freedoms of faith-based schools. But, public opposition to Bill 18 continues to grow. A website has recently been set up by opponents of Bill 18 (protectourschools.ca), which has resulted in hundreds of emails being sent to provincial politicians…." – Rodney A. Clifton and John C. Long, Winnipeg Free Press, Feb 20 2013 (READ MORE)
Protection from Bullying – "…We know clearly that young people need to be protected in this particular area. We know clearly that young people who are gay have higher rates of depression and mental health issues, they talk about suicide, they are harassed and bullied," she said. Ms. Allan said a gay-straight alliance is simply a venue in which students can share their feelings and get support. "You're just providing a space for young people to talk." But Mr. Altein said a gay-straight alliance would be the same as a group demanding non-kosher food in school. "It would be wrong for a student of an Orthodox Jewish school to demand the right to eat a lunch of non-kosher food such as pork. It would be even more disrespectful for students to form an official group within the Jewish religious school to advocate for the 'right' to eat pork…" – Steve Lambert, The Canadian Press, Mar. 15 2013 (READ MORE)

TouchStar's range of touch-screen computers are used in businesses and industries requiring robust field automation, including fuel distribution, on-board sales on airlines and trains, van sales and field service organisations. The solutions, which can incorporate both standard and bespoke software and a range of integrated peripherals such as scanners, printers and multiple sensors and data logging interfaces are designed to increase productivity, improve accuracy, and save time for companies. TouchStar has announced the availability of the CE Series (CE-504 and CE-507) range of mobile computers.
Rugged. All-in-one.Versatile.
TouchStar reports that the CE-500 Series is a mobile computer range that gives clients all the power and functionality their applications demand, at a highly affordable price. The computers pack the functionality of a host of separate devices into one cost effective solution, offering the flexibility, versatility and ruggedness (the units are IP54 rated) that modern business operations demand. The Series is the perfect partner for all mobility applications and is based on the Microsoft Windows CE 6.0 Embedded platform.
GPS, Voice, Wireless and Bluetooth Capability
Multiple integrated wireless options meet the most demanding communication needs. These include a quad-band GPRS modem, GPS, Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g) and Bluetooth. GSM voice is also supported utilising the internal microphone and speaker. Options such as Bluetooth allow an array of peripherals to be used, such as printers, barcode scanners and headsets.
Full telematics black box compatibility
With full telematics integration, the CE Series mobile computers can connect to existing 'black boxes', making full use of their GPS location data and GSM/GPRS communication. This reduces the hardware and ongoing communication costs as only one sim card is required. In addition, the units feature a CANbus port enabling connection to critical on-board data collection systems.
Fixed or Portable
TouchStar give you the flexibility of either a fixed or portable computer, with a choice of cradles to suit your application. With the portable option, the CE Series mobile computer becomes truly mobile, allowing software applications to be used inside or outside of the vehicle - whether at a customer site, or inside a warehouse for example. Typical off-vehicle battery life is 2-4 hours dependent on use, providing power for a full shift during a regular charging cycle.
4" or 7" LED Backlit Colour Touchscreen
The CE Series offers two base models. The CE-507 features a large 7" WVGA colour TFT LCD touchscreen, allowing for applications that feature rich, detailed and intuitive user interfaces. Perfect for optimum viewing of video content and sat-nav. Additionally, shortcut soft keys allow the most frequently used commands to be accessed with ease. The CE-504 has a more compact form factor than the larger CE-507 model but still offers a 4.3" WQVGA colour TFT LCD touchscreen, which is perfect for 'forms-based' applications.
Signature Capture and Proof of Delivery
Full signature capture is supported, allowing proof of delivery (POD) or service to be confirmed in real-time. Customers simply sign on the screen using the stylus which stores safely and securely in the device when not being utilised.
Highly Affordable
For a long time, the often prohibitive-cost of industrial mobile computers has been a barrier to their adoption. The CE Series breaks down this barrier - making high quality, rugged and feature-rich mobile computing available to all. It allows internal IT departments, external solutions providers and software developers/vendors to develop solutions easily and more rapidly. This means successful and cost-effective implementation of data capture solutions, ensuring superior return on investment for end users. The base price of the CE-504 unit is a mere 410 with the starting price for the 7" CE-507 being set at 495. Flexible payments terms, including lease and rental options, are available subject to terms and conditions.

"So Elisha said to her, 'What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?' And she said, 'Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.'" — 2 Kings 4:2
The word "asset" is one of the least understood economic terms by Christians and the most important term when it comes to generating wealth. Revenue generation begins with an asset; without the ability to generate revenue wealth cannot be built. Many Christians operate beneath their financial potential, not because of their lack of ability, but solely because of their inability to leverage their assets to work for their benefit. Many do not even know what assets they have or they undermine the assets they do have.

Greetings warriors,
We communicated earlier this month about how we're fighting AFK farming and how the For Honor team takes this issue very seriously. A first wave of warnings has been sent earlier last week, and the first wave of banning was performed today. Also, a new wave of warnings has been sent simultaneously.
In today's wave, around 1 500 players got a 3-Days ban for doing AFK farming.
Around 4 000 new AFK farmers got detected and will receive a warning.
Using a cheat engine to exploit AFK farming is against our Code of Conduct, and these impacted players may get a permaban for cheating.
In all cases, impacted players will receive an official email detailing their sanction and the reason behind it.
As a reminder, our Code of Conduct can be found here: Code of Conduct

Macro and Microenvironmental Factors
The microenvironment (in blue) includes the company, suppliers, marketing intermediaries, competitors, publics and customers as it affects the relationships in terms of value and satisfaction with the customers. On the other hand, the macroenvironment (in red) affects the companies success or failure by presenting opportunities or threats, and includes demographics, economics, natural events, technological changes, along with political and cultural movements (Kotler and Armstrong, 74).
In order for any new company, in my groups case a new brewery, to truly grasp what is going on throughout the value chain, acknowledge potential opportunities, and avoid critical threats, there is no choice but to analyze both the macroenvironmental and microenvironmental factors.
The factors in our brewing company's (Marketing Plan – http://wp.me/a43oId-4v) microenvironment help create value for our customers so that we can collect fiscal value in return. We have a faithful client base who enjoys the fact that we have limited suppliers, and our beer can only be purchased in a few locations. This became apparent only after analyzing the microenvironment. In the case that the market's preferences change to desire a widely distributed product that is easily purchasable in various locations, it will be crucial to adapt. Analyzing the microenvironment constantly provides this insight to maintain the customer value. With focus upon the these factors, value for customers not only is created, but will continue to be strong and grow in response to the ability to adapt quickly.
To demonstrate how macroenvironmental factors may benefit or destroy profits I will briefly look into a larger brewing company, Anheuser-Busch. In Utah, due to the fact that State Law limits beer to a certain percentage, "The maximum alcohol content is four percent by volume, or 3.2 percent by weight for beer sold in taverns, beer establishments and stores" (http://www.utah.com/visitor/state_facts/liquor_laws.htm). This political factor forced Anheuser-Busch to specifically make beer for Utah, or to accept to loose business in the entire state. Natural factors include a freeze or early rain in the wine industry. Economical factors maybe be a cut of financial support. Again, without strict attention focused on the macro and microenvironmental factors surrounding an industry: trends will change, values will evolve, the unexpected will happen all unnoticed.

IRVING, TEXAS — Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones, the former college roommates who combined to win consecutive Super Bowls, ended their football relationship yesterday.
After two days of negotiations in the wake of the latest public flare-up in their long-running feud last week, Johnson quit as the Dallas Cowboys head coach after Jones agreed to a cash settlement for the last five years of his contract and to free him to coach another team.
Johnson's departure leaves the Cowboys in disarray as they prepare their bid to become the first team to win three straight Super Bowls.

Cheers rang out over the news that President Duterte has ordered the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) to occupy all islands of the country in the West Philippine Sea.
As we all know, China has been quite busy the past years occupying and building structures to fortify its hold over the territory.
The President's orders were for the military to build our own structures and raise the Philippine flag within the country's exclusive economic zone (EEZ) to maintain our jurisdiction in the area. Duterte even has plans to visit Pagasa Island on Independence Day, June 12, and raise the Philippine flag there.
Based on the President's instructions, AFP Chief of Staff General Eduardo Año has ordered the deployment of more troops to seven islands and two shoals.
However, Magdalo Representative Gary Alejano contradicted Duterte's order by saying that the military could no longer occupy any other island in the disputed territory.
Alejano, a former marine, pointed out that assuming there are still uninhabited islands to occupy, new occupation is a violation of the existing Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in South China Sea in which the Philippines is a signatory.
The military clarified that Duterte's instructions referred to islands and shoals that have already been under the control of the Philippines and would only be needing rehabilitation. Whatever, Duterte's order stands for development in the disputed waters long awaited by the Filipinos.
Five years ago, China began blockading the Scarborough Shoal which is clearly within our country's EEZ, saying it falls under its nine-dash line's historical ownership of majority of the South China Sea.
The Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague invalidated China's claim last year, and declared that Beijing violated Manila's rights to fish and explore for resources in the area.
The Holy Week is a time of contemplation for many Filipinos, where each of us can reflect on matters that truly need mending.
Perhaps, the challenge that the President should focus on is how to align his action with the ruling of the arbitral tribunal through an open exchange of views and rationalizations without escalating tensions with China.
Otherwise, all efforts made by Duterte to establish friendly ties with China will be for naught. Yes, we can be friendly with any country but not at the expense of our security and national interest.

After fixing the driver for the scanner which for some reason was not working I began. Easily 40 titles had not been indexed since they were acquired. I got the majority scanned and have a small stack of about 8 DVDs that will have to be entered manually.
I went out around 4 PM to snow blow. We had close to another 6 inches overnight and during the day the strong winds caused this to drift to over a foot in some places. I started up the snow blower, engaged the gears, and headed over to the leading edge of the snow by the garage. I pulled the lever to engage the impeller and KABOOM!! A Dreadful thunking noise issued from within the snow blower's casing and voluminous clouds of noxious black smoke issued forth!
It was obvious that it was a gonner. I removed my ski cap, held it over my heart, and thanked it for four years of tireless service. Then, to do a sailor or trucker proud I recited a string of litanies not suitable for our younger viewers! I then spent about 90 minutes clearing the snow with a shovel. I was exhausted, sweaty, chilled to the bone, and sore when I finished.
I had dresses in layers to keep the coat from getting sweaty and I jumped into a nice warm shower. My back was already complaining about this activity, but, what can you do?
Making myself some Ramon was all I could handle and then Tails and I settled down to watch TV as I vowed not to move from the couch until bedtime unless the house caught on fire!
Around 8 PM the X brought over Scott who did not want to drive in the bad weather so he could pick up some things he needed for his stay at his mom's. She mentioned in passing that he should come over tomorrow and help me shovel. He groused stating that it was his day off why would he have to do that. Set your phasers on stun, I was flabbergasted! I love my kids but sometimes they can be very self centered. They forget things like my cleaning off his car on the mornings it snowed on school days, and before he had to go to work a couple of days we had the heavy snow. Not to mention the countless other things his mom and I do. I got very angry and after he had his stuff I told him he could go. As he was leaving I thanked him for making my day!
He and the X departed and I learned from email today they continued the conversation on the ride home. She reminded him of how little they do compared to all the work and chores we had as kids and how the constantly complain when asked to do something simple like emptying the dishwasher. Plus the fact that we work full time and still do all the tasks we need to do to run the houses and take care of the kids."Times are different now" was all he had to say.
Note this does not apply to Danielle, she is constantly helping the X and I with laundry and other chores, often without being told. She even does some of Scott's chores when he complains he is tired from work.
Sadly going forward he's going to see a change here at my house; no extras, no more game purchases, etc. unless there is good reason like a birthday or a really great report card. Perhaps that will make him understand it materialistically since he can't seem to understand it from the heart. I hardly slept at all last night, and have been in a foul mood all day today. I'm seriously considering selling the second xbox I recently bought for the family room. It's obvious he does not appreciate it. I'd welcome any opinions on this.

Albert J. van der Kogel, PhD
IBPRO Faculty
Department of Human Oncology
School of Medicine and Public Health
University of Wisconsin
Madison, WI
Research Projects/Interests
Dr. van der Kogel's research has focused on two main areas. The first is on the effects of radiation on normal tissues and in particular the central nervous system, on the various factors that determine the tolerance of the spinal cord. The spinal cord is probably the most critical normal tissue in radiation oncology, and his research has largely contributed to optimizing treatment of cancer close to the spine and preventing the development of debilitating complications. In addition to aspects most important to clinical radiation treatments his research has elucidated the mechanisms and cellular basis of various radiation-induced changes in the CNS. Dr. van der Kogel's second main research area has aimed at overcoming radiation resistance mechanisms related to the tumor microenvironment, which are for radiation treatment known to be mostly tumor hypoxia and proliferation. To study these aspects in a clinically relevant setting he developed a panel of primary human tumor xenografts that reflected the clinical heterogeneity of individual patients. The overall aim of this research has been to test new therapeutic modalities, and develop assays to individualize treatment based on tumor biopsies and molecular imaging. Dr. van der Kogel continues to be actively involved as an adviser and collaborator in various research projects, as well as in teaching radiobiology courses for (under)graduate students of medical physics and residents in radiation oncology.

We now know the problem, a part of my Acer laptop does not like AVG so every new update was causing it to crash... don't know if anyone else has had the same probs with an Acer and AVG.
Before it crashed I managed to take on the Fiskarettes 1st ATC challenge the theme being ''Wings'' below are my 9 entries for the challenge. Hope that you like them.

Many years ago, the Demon Prince Orcus and his lackeys set out to open a path into the Farveil in an attempt to gain power and influence by harnessing the power of undeath. They were defeated in by a hastily raised army from the then capital city, Terasnia. It was a dearly won victory however, and many of the cultists were able to escape in the ensuing chaos. The area of the battle has remained a cursed and abandoned place ever since, and for good reason. It is filled with filthy evil creatures that are drawn both by the evil aura of the cult, as well as the still present stench of so many dead.
While sitting bored in the Slashfang Guild Hall in the town of Epcalia, Kelsar, Viri, and Puck were asked by fellow guild member Kitari to investigate a rumor of cult activity in the abandoned fortress near the Farveil. Led by Kalarel, the group seems to be connected to the Demon Prince Orcus. After searching for more information in town, the group learned that the cultists have enlisted the assistance of Goblins and Kobolds. The Goblins may be less than happy about this arrangement as their leader, Irontooth, previously peacefully traded with the town.
Shortly after setting out, the group was ambushed by a group of Kobolds that seemed to be guarding the road to the fortress. After defeating them, the group decided to set up camp and tackle the fortress in the morning.
