Liver Cancer Treatment
Approximate Cost : $8000 -$12000 Duration : 14-21 Days
Liver Cancer Treatment India Liver is situated inside the rib cage in the upper right side abdomen. The liver it has four lobes and is the largest solid organ in the body. Detoxification (i.e. removal of waste products and worn-out cells from the blood), protein synthesis, and production of bio-chemicals essential for digestion are some of its functions.
Diagnosis of Liver Cancer
- Blood tests
- Ultrasound Liver Cancer Treatment India
- Computed Tomography (CT) Scan
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
- Liver Biopsy
- Laparoscopy
- Needle Biopsy
- Large Core Needle Biopsy
Treatment Options available for Liver Cancer
Partial Hepatectomy : Surgery to liver Cancer specialist in indiaremove part of the liver is called partial hepatectomy. This operation is only attempted if the person is healthy enough and all of the tumor can be removed while leaving enough healthy liver behind. Unfortunately, most liver cancers cannot be completely removed. Often the cancer has spread beyond the liver, has become very large, or is in too many different parts of the liver.
Liver Transplant : When it is available, a liver transplant may be the best option for some people with small liver cancers. At this time, liver transplants are reserved for those with small tumors (either 1 tumor smaller than 5 cm across or 2 to 3 tumors no larger than 3 cm) that have not invaded nearby blood vessels. In most cases, transplant is used for tumors that cannot be totally removed, either because of the location of the tumors or because the liver is too diseased for the patient to withstand removing part of it.
Chemotherapy : Chemotherapy is a medication that is usually given intravenously or as a pill. It goes to the bloodstream and throughout the body to kill cancer cells. This is one of the big advantages of chemotherapy. If cancer cells have broken off from the tumor and are somewhere else inside the body, chemotherapy has the chance of finding those cells and killing them.
Radiation therapy : Another potential method of treating liver cancer is radiation therapy . The radiation comes in the form of high energy x-rays that are delivered to the patient only in the areas at highest risk for cancer. These x-rays are similar to those used for diagnostic x-rays, only of a much high energy. The high energy of x-rays in radiation therapy results in damage to the DNA of cells. Because cancer cells are not as good as normal, healthy cell at repairing DNA damage, radiation results in relatively more damage to the cancer cells than to normal cells.
Nonsurgical Treatments for Liver Cancer at World Class Hospitals in India
Chemoembolization : Before Insertion of the tiny particles that block the blood flow an anticancer drug is injected into the artery. The drug stays in the liver for longer without blood flow, and thus the impact is more.
Radiofrequency Ablation : For inoperable liver tumors, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) offers a nonsurgical, localized treatment that kills the tumor cells with heat, while sparing the healthy liver tissue. Thus, this treatment is much easier on the patient than systemic therapy.
Cryosurgery : It is a treatment that uses an instrument to freeze and destroy abnormal tissue, such as cancerous cells. This type of treatment is also called Cryotherapy. The doctor may use ultrasound to guide the instrument.
Percutaneous Ethanol Injection : Percutaneous ethanol injection is a cancer treatment in which a small needle is used to inject ethanol (alcohol) directly into a tumor to kill cancer cells. The procedure may be done once or twice a week. Usually local anesthesia is used, but if the patient has many tumors in the liver, general anesthesia may be needed.
Hyperthermia Therapy : Hyperthermia therapy is a type of treatment in which body tissue is exposed to high temperatures to damage and kill cancer cells or to make cancer cells more sensitive to the effects of radiation and certain anticancer drugs. Because some cancer cells are more sensitive to heat than normal cells are, the cancer cells die and the tumor shrinks.
Biologic Therapy : Biologic therapy is a treatment that uses the patient's immune system to fight cancer. Substances made by the body or made in a laboratory are used to boost, direct, or restore the body's natural defenses against cancer. This type of cancer treatment is also called biotherapy or immunotherapy.
Liver Cancer Treatment Package Cost in India
8000 - 12000 US Dollars
14-21 days stay in Hospital
Note: Cost Estimate for above include stay in a Private Room where a Companion can stay with the patient surgeon fee, medicines and consumables, nursing care, food and Airport Pick & Drop. More accurate treatment cost estimates can be provided if medical reports are emailed to us or after the patient is examined by doctors after arrival at hospital in India and medical tests are done after admission.

IHOP in Mustang, Oklahoma is an excellent restaurant choice
Overall review of first year August 2015 - September 2016
Mustang, Oklahoma is a vibrant growing community with a diversity of vocational fields. Within 11 years (2005 - 2016), its economy has incrementally increased. Many new businesses opened in 2014, 2015 and 2016. IHOP was amongst those who literally built their restaurant and opened the beginning of August 2015.
IHOP is not the only restaurant in this small Oklahoman city, but it is the best. I have dined at all the family friendly restaurants in Mustang. When it comes to customer service, quality of food delivered, and overall dining experience (from the minute one walks through the door) IHOP's is incomparable. Granted not all IHOPs are first rate like Mustang's. I have dined at numerous IHOPs in other states plus throughout Oklahoma that did not deliver the same superlative dining out experience. Much has to do with how the individual IHOPs are managed.
At the IHOP in Mustang, Oklahoma management and staff (kitchen, waiting, hosting and cleaning) as a team work flawlessly which has turned this IHOP into an exceptional restaurant. The chef and entire kitchen staff take just the right amount of time to deliver the high quality American food on IHOP's menu.
Now this IHOP was not always as superlative as it is currently. I remember how this restaurant started since its first week open at the beginning of August 2015, newly built with all new everything including the locals hired by this restaurant. The entire restaurant team definitely went through a training phase where the overall dining experience in August through November 2015 was 3 to 3 1/2 stars. In December 2015 this IHOP improved, delivering a consistent four to five stars overall dine-in experience to its customers. Today, this restaurant has been gifting unfalteringly 4 1/2 to 5 stars customer satisfaction in all dining out at a restaurant areas! Better than the other restaurants in Mustang! Every time I thought a plateau had been reached, this restaurant enhanced. Amazing how much this IHOP truly has improved in its first year!
The Manager of Mustang's IHOP, Marod, is one of the best managers I have had the pleasure to befriend. He makes his position look easy to do when in reality most would find it daunting or impossible. Being a manager of a large chain restaurant can be very stressful for Marod is actually in the middle, the position between the local restaurant's team and the corporation behind the business. To me, Marod is an excellent manager, can handle being the middle man for his personality type is perfect for this type of job. Not only does he get along well with the corporation behind IHOP, but it is obvious by how well Mustang's IHOP is run that the entire restaurant staff consider him great to work with, plus firm and fair. The way Marod in the background orchestrates through delegation is something all managers in any field should learn. He has accomplished in this IHOP's first year what many restaurant managers to a large chain restaurant would have claimed impossible for it ended on a successful note. A lot of his managerial success comes from the teamwork and proper restaurant etiquette, not just between interacting with customers, but with fellow staff members that he has instilled. Every employee knows their position is crucial and does their best in order to encourage return visits from the happy customers. Marod's style of management truly works, and Mustang residents, as customers or IHOP employee, are benefiting from his outstanding expertise.
The longest wait via local word of mouth has been twenty-five minutes which is not bad for a smaller in size IHOP. The average wait time is 10 to 15 minutes tops, just depends about time of day and how many want to dine at this delightful restaurant. Most of the time, especially for lunch and dinner, there is no waiting thanks to the exceptional hosting staff. The building's seating capacity has been maxed out on Holidays and during weekends. Sunday morning seemed to me the busiest. It is amazing how size of party does not matter, plenty of seating for all size families and groups!
A great big thank you for how special each customer is treated at Mustang's IHOP. The hosting and wait staff are friendly and take customer satisfaction seriously. They do all they can to accommodate their customers' needs; most leave happy! A very special appreciation from me for all the employees at this IHOP do. Heartfelt gratitude for the excellent hygienic dining experience and delicious food served! Return visits recommended, I definitely will be. Happy dining out to all!
More about IHOP in Mustang, Oklahoma
There is nothing difficult in finding the IHOP in Oklahoma. It is perfectly situated on East State Highway 152 across the street from the shopping center where Billy Simms Barbecue, Wal-Mart, Payless Shoes and the AT&T store are located. No one, visitors and locals, have had trouble finding this restaurant.
Address: 1068 East State Highway 152, Mustang, Oklahoma 73064
Phone number: (405) 730-8890
No need for reservations, just stop by. This IHOP is open 24 hours, seven days per week.
Want a place to go for dining out with family and friends for the holidays (Thanksgiving, Winter Season Holidays aka Christmas [Yule] and New Year's, National Holidays, plus Summer Vacation), highly recommend this IHOP. They are OPEN all year round!
The best part of making Mustang's IHOP your holiday or vacation dining out destination is they do the cooking and clean up while you happily enjoy a great time with your family and friends. Less stress and no one leaves the table hungry!
Note: IHOP does holiday, seasonal and charity sponsored Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner specials for all ages. Just ask the wait staff if there are any specials for Seniors, adults or children in your party. You will be surprised how much you can save! Many family's have saved a lot just by asking!
Examples of how you can save while dining out at Mustang's IHOP: Senior Citizens during the Winter of 2015 saved money from the Senior BOGO (buy one get one free between specified hours) special that lasted the entire season! St. Patrick's Day 2016 IHOP had a $1 small stack pancake special! August 23, 2016 IHOP also had a $1 small stack pancake special where the proceeds went to a charity that fed children in need.
As of May 2016, the local residents of Mustang, Oklahoma at this IHOP have started something fantastic. It is a pay it forward aspect you probably will not find elsewhere. A regular customer of Mustang's IHOP (no one knows who precisely) picked at random a table and covered their tab, and then told them to pay it forward the next time they come in to this IHOP, pick at random another table to do the same. This has caught on like wildfire! It is my understanding via word of mouth that the person who started it, also became a recipient of this two months later, and of course kept the pay it forward dining at IHOP thing going. It is a beautiful gesture, makes dining out at this IHOP extra special.

Did you guess Borobudur, Indonesia?
On the island of Java, Indonesia, stands a mountain with a thousand statues and surrounded by volcanoes. Borobudur, an ancient Buddhist stupa and temple complex, was abandoned for centuries, but no one knows why. In fact, it was forgotten for so long that it was hidden beneath volcanic ash and overgrown by thick jungle for hundreds of years. But now beautiful Borobudur is a hugely popular Buddhist monument in central Java and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

First of all, my present pst file seems to be working fine. What I want to do is use the Outlook Backup Addin application to backup my pst files -- which I was able to do without issue after exiting Outlook _BEFORE my computer totally short circuited and I had to buy a new one.
Since having my files reloaded onto a new computer (my last one short circuited) I have been completely unable to backup my critical Outlook pst file. The Outlook Backup Addin application intiates after exiting Outlook HOWEVER then it pops an error message.
I receive the same error messages each time I try. The error message reads as follows:
"Error Moving File or Folder
Cannot move Outlook Backup: It is being used by another person or program.
Close any programs that might be using the file and try again."
I think it is because the File that Outlook is using is also called "Outlook Backup." The IT Repair shop reinstalled files and used the backup itself for the reinstall of my Outlook Professional 2003.
Before the whole computer meltdown issue on the prior computer -- I was indeed able to regularly exit the application and initiate the backup add-on feature that MS Outlook provides an back it up to a separate dedicated backup folder. The process mentioned is my elusive goal.
I have tried to do the copying maneuver (It worked the first time I tried it on the last computer just one time but would not repeat it thereafter) as well by shutting down the computer and restarting and PRIOR to opening Outlook I try to do the copy .... But it still will not let me.
Given my recent history, I am sure you can appreciate my compulsion to want to back up my pst files !!!
My goal is simply to exit Outlook and have the Outlook back-up Addin initiate, start up and copy to a dedicated folder in My Documents without any issues as I was once upon a time able to do

American Academy of Arts and Sciences Establishes the Commission on the Future of Undergraduate Education
National commission to undertake data-driven examination of opportunities and challenges in U.S. higher education
Initiative Receives $2.2 Million in Funding from Carnegie Corporation of New York
Press Release
– The
American Academy of Arts and Sciences
today announced the formation of
The Commission on the Future of Undergraduate Education
. Over the next three years, the members of this initiative will examine the vast—and expanding—array of learning options available to high-school graduates, including both students newly out of high school and older adults returning to school to further their lives and careers. With members drawn from among national leaders in education, business, and government, the Commission on the Future of Undergraduate Education will study how well today's students are served by the existing system and, more important, will seek to identify the challenges and opportunities that higher education will encounter in the decades ahead.
Historically, America's world-leading investments in schools and colleges have been vital to the strength of its economy and society as well as to its tradition of widespread economic opportunity. The Commission on the Future of Undergraduate Education will offer recommendations aimed at ensuring that higher education will build on those historic strengths and respond effectively to the demographic, technological, financial, and other developments that lie ahead.
Today, about two-thirds of U.S. high-school graduates begin some form of higher education within 18 months of graduation; at the same time, over one-third of undergraduate students are older adults returning to school to resume their education. At any given time, some 17 million Americans are enrolled at least part-time in some form of postsecondary learning. These students confront an array of alternatives that range from short-term vocational training at for-profit and community colleges to the educations offered to a small number of students at highly selective research universities and liberal-arts colleges. Innovations that range from MOOCs and other forms of online learning to "competency-based" education and a renewed interest in apprenticeships continually expand the range of options.
Despite this array of options and the fact that college enrollment is near an historic high, more than half of all students fail to complete their educational programs. There are widespread worries about the cost of college and the burden of indebtedness, and doubts in many quarters that colleges are prepared to take advantage of emerging technical opportunities to teach better at a lower cost. Perhaps most worrisome, for all the progress in increasing access to college, the gaps in college completion rates by race and by income level continue to grow.
As an initial step in understanding the system and working to improve it, the Commission on the Future of Undergraduate Education has convened an advisory group of economists and other experts to curate the available data in order to create a portrait of how Americans are currently receiving their postsecondary education, and to identify the trends. Using this portrait, the commission will identify both problems and promise inherent in those trends. The commission will also use the curated research to develop a working hypothesis about what the United States will look like if those trends persist, and recommend corresponding changes to benefit students.
"Higher education remains one of the most important avenues of opportunity in our society, and yet it is at an inflection point," said American Academy President
Jonathan F. Fanton
. "The Commission on the Future of Undergraduate Education will work in pursuit of greater understanding of the preparation that Americans of all backgrounds will need to lead productive and fulfilling lives that contribute to the health of our country, its economy, culture, and democratic community."
The Academy has received $2.2 million from Carnegie Corporation of New York for this three-year initiative. Spencer Foundation President
Michael S. McPherson
and TIAA-CREF President and CEO
Roger W. Ferguson, Jr.
will co-chair the commission.
"The critical issues in this area—cost, financing models, accessibility, dramatic changes in learning patterns and in technological possibilities—require our attention and close scrutiny, on behalf of all Americans," McPherson said. "Just as high-quality research is the bedrock of improvement in education, so will it undergird the recommendations of the Commission on the Future of Undergraduate Education." Ferguson added: "Our work will be guided by our data-driven examination of the existing landscape of higher education, and by partnerships with colleagues who are conducting new research. We will use these inputs to foster an open, highly informed national discourse on projected trends—and on changes that will help maximize access, outcomes, and personal fulfillment for all students."
In addition to McPherson and Ferguson, members (to date) of the commission include
Joseph E. Aoun
, President, Northeastern University;
Deborah Loewenberg Ball
, Dean, University of Michigan School of Education;
Sandy Baum
, Senior Fellow, the Urban Institute;

Shirley M. Tilghman
, former President, Princeton University;
P. Roy Vagelos
, former President, CEO, and Chairman, Merck; and
Michelle Weise
, Executive Director, Sandbox ColLABorative, Southern New Hampshire University.
"Because of its independent, nonpartisan, and multidisciplinary approach to issues like these, the American Academy is the right home for the Commission on the Future of Undergraduate Education," added
Don Randel
, Chair of the Board of the Academy and President Emeritus of the University of Chicago. "This is the Academy's tradition: to convene experts from a range of fields to make insightful recommendations—and, in turn, inspire dialogue and effect change." Examples of Academy reports in this tradition include
The Heart of the Matter
, which has made a powerful case for the importance of the humanities and social sciences;
Restoring the Foundation: The Vital Role of Research in Preserving the American Dream
, with its recommendations for the long-term sustainability of the science and engineering research system; and
The Lincoln Project: Excellence and Access in Public Higher Education

Children in Latin America are three times more likely to be born with a cleft lip or palate than those in the United States.
This facial deformity not only strips a child of the ability to smile but also creates a struggle to feed and nourish their bodies. Hidden from their neighbors, and sometimes abandoned by their own fathers, these children are deemed outcasts in their society and have no ability to pay for repair. Families often travel on foot for days to find hope and healing in the skilled and caring hands of Florida Hospital Sharing Smiles volunteers. It is the ultimate goal of Sharing Smiles' cleft lip and palate program to provide free corrective surgeries and comprehensive medical care year-round to help these needy children share their smiles with the world.
Sharing Smiles sends a team of expert medical clinicians to perform complex corrective surgeries and to collaborate and train onsite medical professionals. This training is critical to building a legacy of ongoing care for these children after they receive their life-changing surgery.
It is our vision to have teams of specialists including plastic surgeons, maxillofacial surgeons, speech therapists, dentists, counselors, orthodontists, nutritionists, and otolaryngologists. Together, these professionals will perform surgery, provide rehabilitation therapy and will train onsite medical professionals to provide the ongoing care needed for the best results for their patients.
Sharing Smiles achieves excellence by partnering with generous people worldwide. Ongoing medical care would not be possible without the collaboration between Sharing Smiles and the local health authority, onsite medical teams, and Rotary Clubs. These partnerships allow us to strengthen local support through education, provide long-lasting medical training and secure resources to improve the quality of care patients receive from the onsite medical team year-round.Join us to restore the smiles of these suffering children and spread the gift of hope throughout the world. Make a gift or start a smile campaign today.

Milagros Rivera Pérez, chair of the Cuba Solidarity Committee in Puerto Rico and director of the Juan Ríus Rivera Brigade, treasures several photos with the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, whom she describes as humanity's best friend.
Both organizations work intensely to challenge the blockade laws imposed by the United States, which prohibit tourist travel by U.S. citizens to the Caribbean island, fight media campaigns aimed at attacking the Revolution, and demand the return of the illegally occupied territory of Guantánamo and an end to the genocidal economic, financial and commercial blockade maintained by successive White House administrations.
Since her adolescence, the charismatic Puerto Rican was curious to learn more about the Cuban leader so negatively portrayed by the media in her home country. Today she recalls that in the late 1960s, she had a neighbor who frequently listened to a radio station, at top volume, which served as a voice for the Cuban extreme right in Miami. These messages were so grotesque and absurd that they awakened an adverse reaction in her, reinforced by her mother, who was active in trade union struggles.
One of Milagros' teachers at high school encouraged her to find information on the Cuban Revolution and its leading figures. Thus arose her admiration for a man who managed to overthrow a dictatorship, headed by Fulgencio Batista, and lead social changes for the benefit of his people.
In 1973, Milagros first visited Cuba, as a member of the Puerto Rican Socialist Party, which reaffirmed her position to fight for the construction of a society far removed from capitalism, which would focus on solving the problems of human beings, with social justice and equality as basic principles.
In founding the Juan Ríus Rivera Brigade in 1991, and the Puerto Rican Cuba Solidarity Committee in 1992, Milagros defended internationalism with a nation hit hard by the fall of the socialist camp and the constant attacks of the criminal blockade, providing an example of dignity in its defense of sovereignty.
In 1994, she participated in the First World Meeting of Friendship and Solidarity with Cuba, heading the Puerto Rican delegation. Following the discussions in Havana's Convention Center, a formal reception was held, with the attendance of Fidel, who patiently spoke with the representatives of each country.
Fidel asked the Puerto Rican friends about the struggles waged for the decolonization of the Caribbean island and on other fronts. He offered some wise advice and asked that they keep their independence movements alive.
Time was scarce for dialogue and they forgot to take a photo, thus the delegation became one of many in the long line hoping for a second chance. They thought the Comandante may not remember them, given the number of people with whom he had spoke, but on seeing them again he said: "You have already passed through here."
"We challenged the empire to come to Cuba," an excited Milagros explained, "it would be a second challenge to return home with a photo of you accompanying our group." Thus materialized the first snapshot treasured by the prominent Puerto Rican activist, who told Granma International, "Fidel very lovingly made a joke, we all laughed, we took the photographs and hugged him, each taking with us a bit of his enormous strength for all time."
In November 2000, Havana hosted the Second World Meeting of Friendship and Solidarity and Milagros was invited to participate in the Mesa Redonda news talk show, together with representatives of other solidarity organizations. Just minutes before the program went on air, Fidel arrived and an excited cheer stopped everyone in their tracks for a moment.
An extremely positive energy pervaded the environment, as each reiterated their commitment to globalize solidarity with Cuba as an alternative to neoliberal capitalism. At the end of the show, the Cuban leader held personal conversations with the participants and group photos were taken. A very special photo is that of Fidel in the middle, between Gloria La Riva, the coordinator of International Peace for Cuba in the United States, and Milagros, serving as an expression of peoples united.
In 2001, a delegation from Puerto Rico attended commemorative events for the 40th anniversary of the defeat of imperialism on the sands of Playa Girón. In Havana, on the corner of 23rd and 12th streets, where on April 16, 1961, Fidel proclaimed the socialist character of the Cuban Revolution, an emotional ceremony took place.
Taking advantage of a pause in the moving speech by the Cuban leader, Milagros shouted loudly: "Puerto Rico, present!" and Fidel asked her to accompany him on stage. He thanked the Puerto Rican for her solidarity with the island and assured her that the Cuban people would fight to oust the United States Navy from the Puerto Rican municipality of Vieques, where they had a naval base.
Milagros concluded with a message: "Thank you, Fidel, for existing. You are the Comandante of all the poor of the Earth, your confidence in the Cuban people has achieved a victorious revolution, your solidarity with the peoples is unmatched. The heroic Cuban people have had the leader they deserve."

Early in May, NBC issued a list of cancelled television series. The company subsequently took the unusual step of reversing a network cancellation decision to spare the science fiction series Timeless(2016), a time-travel drama which had garnered a vocal fan base during its first season.
Timeless stars Abigail Spencer, Matt Lanter, Malcolm Barrett, Claudia Doumit and Goran Visnjic. The series centers around a group of time travelers contending with a mysterious government conspiracy and cover-up called "Rittenhouse". It features period costumes and varying settings. The cliffhanger final episode during the first season left the fate of several characters unresolved.
As rumors of the pending cancellation circulated, some fans went online via YouTube to launch a write-in campaign imploring the network to renew the drama. A poll conducted by USA Today called "Save Our Shows" allowed viewers to vote about television series facing cancellation. Fully 49% of the responders voted to save the new Timeless series. The production ranked slightly higher with women than men, but overall emerged as a favorite series among the under-50 age demographic. Teens in particular favored retaining the series by an impressive 74% vote.
NBC Chairman Robert Greenblatt acknowledged the significance of fan input in causing the broadcasting company to take the unusual step of reversing its cancellation decision. He noted NBC has appreciated the creativity of the time travel series from the outset and flatly denied the cancellation reversal has occurred as a publicity ploy.

A lot of people these days can obtain their credit scores but have no idea what to do with it; in fact some of them do not even know what it is. Therefore it is quite appropriate that before you do anything with your credit score range you should actually understand what a credit score is and what credit score ranges actually mean. Depending on how perfectly charges are disbursed by an individual, these details are computed in the form of a FICO or credit score range that starts from 300 to 850. This range is necessarily required when evaluating credit score because without it the score would be meaningless.
Why is it so important
Credit score ranges should in fact be considered vital and a highly important asset. You might not be able to acquire any sort of loan if your scores drop down to below a certain point, so always make sure you pay careful attention to them. When you are applying for a loan a majority of the lenders always pay close attention to your credit score. The only factor most of the lenders count are these scores, as they are what determine the sort of loan terms and interest rates you would be eligible for when receiving a loan. Since a credit record determines quite a variety of things its importance should never be underestimated. These situations include:
- Car Loans
- Being hired for a job position
- Down payment amounts
- Insurance premiums
- Mortgage types available when you buy a home
When you are trying to understand the credit score range it is always best to start from the top and work your way down. The most reliable score range currently which is most commonly being used is the FICO and the ranges mentioned here are based upon it.
800 to 850+ Credit Score
If you want to have basically flawless credit then your credit score should range in between 800 to 900. Scores ranging in between 800 to 850 are quite common these days whilst finding a credit score as high as 900 seems to be rare but there have still been reports of this high score. Often right from the moment a consumer's credit profile has been established they may even have an 800 credit score immediately but banks and lenders will still not actually consider it unless there is some credit history supporting this.
On the other hand, the lowest rates on loans such as auto insurance, mortgages and credit cards can be obtained by the borrowers who have years of solid history accompanying their 800 to 900 credit score. Almost 13% of the population currently have scores within this bracket.
720 to 799 Credit Score
Anyone who wants to have great credit while benefiting from similar interest rates and approval rates that would be obtained with a credit score in the range of 800-850+, should have a credit score of between 720 to 799. A credit score in this bracket means that the credit check performed when applying for any loans is very thorough and in comparison with the 800-850+ range there can also be several differences in the pricing incentives as well. Nonetheless, consumers do not have to be concerned if their scores end up in this category because these are still considered to be excellent credit scores. In fact almost about 27% of the population has credit scores that are falling into this bracket from 750 to 799.
680 to 719 Credit Score
Consumers usually have a good credit rating if their score falls in this bracket which ranges from 680 to 719. It is considered as a good credit score range. Borrowers in fact still get to qualify for a variety of loans and rental or auto leases even though it is not as perfect as the ratings mentioned above. On the other hand unlike excellent credit, borrowers with good credit would have to deal with slightly higher interest rates. Also particular types of financing like the lowest auto insurance premium or an A-paper mortgage loan cannot be availed by borrowers whose credit scores fall in this credit score range even though their score is not considered bad.
620 to 679 Credit Score
From 620 to 679 is the credit score range where all the credit scores are considered to be 'OK'. When borrowers who have an 'OK' credit score try to apply for a lease, loan or mortgage their chances of approval are slightly lessened whilst they have to face more restrictions. There is no reason for anyone to be concerned because only a few number of scores end up in this credit score range. Nonetheless evaluating your score and making an effort to improve it, is important. Since the lowest rates are not secured if your scores are in this range, you also do not lose too much money.
580- to 619 Credit Score
This is where "ok" and "good" turn to "bad". Credit scores in this range are clearly below average, and you will have a difficult time securing a loan, or applying for a credit card. If you are able to secure financing, you'll find higher interest rates for low credit scores. If your credit score falls in this range, you definitely need to evaluate your credit report and take measures to raise your credit score.
Many consumers with credit scores in this bracket are considered "sub-prime" and may have to work with bad credit banks and lenders to secure financing.
500 to 579 Credit Score
Having credit scores in the range of 500 to 579 is a rather bad sign. An individual's credit report will most probably contain major derogatory marks such as bankruptcy, collection, charge off, foreclosures or late mortgage, if their credit score belongs to in this credit score range.
Below 500 Credit Score
Finally it all comes down to the worst credit score which falls below the 500 bracket. Very little positive data and a lot of major derogatory marks would then be present in the credit report. With such a bad credit score there are certainly no hopes of availing a loan.

Eurozone debt fears mount for advisers
Fears that debt in the Eurozone will hamper investment growth over the next six months have mounted, according to Barings' latest survey of professional investor sentiment.
Fears that debt in the Eurozone will hamper investment growth over the next six months have mounted, according to Barings' latest survey of professional investor sentiment.
Eurozone debt poses the greatest macroeconomic risk to investment growth, a regular survey of industry professionals in the UK and Channel Islands by Baring Asset Management has revealed.
The proportion of respondents who said they feared the impact of eurozone debt increased to 68% over the period 15 December to 12 January, up from 46% in the 15 September to 13 October period.
The Irish debt crisis and deepening problems in Portugal fuelled those concerns, particularly during December on the back of Ireland's Eur85bn bailout by the IMF on 28 November 2010.
General levels of anxiety over a second banking crisis also intensified. The proportion who thought this could happen increased to 30% from 18% at the last survey.
Fewer respondents expressed unease a double-dip recession would take place. Just 7% said they saw it as a threat to growth, compared with 21% beforehand.
However, concerns over the impact of inflation grew; 32% of respondents said it presented a significant challenge to investment growth, up from 14% in the previous survey.
Meanwhile 74% said their clients feared a deteriorating effect on their cash investments, and 86% planned to reallocate their cash investments to inflation-protected assets, such as equities, inflation-linked bonds, or property.
Fixed income was also flagged up. Almost two-thirds, or 66%, of those surveyed said they were advising clients to decrease their exposure to the asset class. This was an increase on the proportion, 53%, who gave similar advice in the previous survey.
Barings interviewed 171 investment professionals for its December-January results, and 168 for its September-October results.

Prevent Blindness Reminds Youth and Athletes of All Ages the Importance of Protecting Against
Sports-Related Eye Injuries
Every year there are thousands of eye injuries in America related to participation in sports. They could happen during a game of basketball, soccer, tennis, racquetball or any other athletic activity, but these eye injuries have one thing in common. They very likely could have been prevented by simply wearing proper protective eyewear designed and safety rated for the purpose.
This fact is a primary focus of Sports Eye Safety Awareness Month, a program of Prevent Blindness dedicated to increasing awareness of sports-related eye injuries and the steps that can be taken to protect the vision of athletes of all ages. As a leading provider of protective eyewear for American soldiers, workers, professional fishermen, NASCAR drivers and others, Wiley X®, Inc. stands firmly behind this important effort and its goal of reducing eye injuries across our great nation. Sports Eye Safety Awareness Month runs from September 1-30, 2015, providing a wealth of information and resources available to Americans through the organization's website at PreventBlindess.org.
"The best and easiest way to prevent sports-related eye injuries is to wear proper protective eyewear — not just some of the time, but all the time," said Wiley X Co-Owner Myles Freeman, Jr. "Still, for a variety of reasons, this often isn't the case. There are two ways to change this. The first is to create protective eyewear that not only protects the wearer's vision, but also provides a level of comfort, style and visual acuity athletes need to perform their best. The second is to increase awareness among the public of just how common — and preventable — sports-related eye injuries are," added Freeman.
Wiley X offers a full range of standard and polarized eyewear styles that meet ANSI-Z87.1 High Velocity and High Mass Impact Safety standards for OSHA-rated protection. Wiley X is the only premium sunglass brand with this level of protection in every adult style it makes. Perhaps more importantly, all Wiley X sunglass styles are designed to deliver a comfortable, secure fit and sharp vision under a range of conditions. Almost all Wiley X styles are also Rx-ready, providing a comfortable, fashionable eye-protection option for people who need corrective lenses. Wiley X's advanced DIGIFORCE™ digital Rx lens technology enhances prescription accuracy and clarity, providing clear vision over the widest possible field of view for sports activities.
Wiley X also recently launched a full children's Sport Protective Eyewear line called Youth Force™, which meets the stringent ASTM F803 sport protective eyewear standards. Wiley X's Youth Force line features bold colors, graphics and cutting edge designs that today's youth want to wear both while playing sports and playing with friends. Four models — the WX Flash, WX Victory, WX Fierce and WX Gamer —meet the fit, comfort and vision protection needs of a wide range of boys and girls. In addition, all Youth Force glasses are designed to quickly change from spectacles to goggles and back again with the simple push of a button. The Youth Force line features an Rx-ready design, making it ideal for young athletes who need prescription lenses along with advanced eye protection on the field or court.
To learn more about advanced vision protection products for athletes of all ages, contact Wiley X, Inc. at 7800 Patterson Pass Road, Livermore, CA 94550 · Telephone: (800) 776-7842 · Or visit online at www.wileyx.com.

Acne is a skin condition that is caused by hair follicles in the skin becoming blocked. Hair follicles are tiny holes in the skin which produce small hairs, which are attached to sebaceous glands. These small glands lubricate the hair as it grows, and ensures that the skin doesn't dry out. To do this, they must produce a natural oil that is called "sebum."
People with acne will have glands that produce too much sebum, creating an oily appearance on the skin. As the oil mixes with dead skin cells that we all naturally have on our skin, it clogs up the pores and causes them to expand. This plug stops the sebum from escaping, and the pore will often continue growing until it burst. A blocked follicle that is close to the surface of the skin will create a pimple or a whitehead. A blocked pore that is deeper in the skin, however, will form a blackhead.
Acne sufferers may also experience infections that are caused by the usually harmless bacteria found on the skin. This creates cysts and nodules.

SEATTLE – The Latest on a downtown Seattle shooting (all times local):
8 p.m.
Authorities say a man escaped on foot after firing into a crowd and wounding five people outside a convenience store in downtown Seattle.
Seattle Assistant Police Chief Robert Merner says four men and one woman were hurt Wednesday evening after an argument of some kind near Pine Street and Third Avenue at a busy intersection.

Merner says authorities were searching for and trying to identify the gunman.
Merner says officers don't believe the incident is related to anti-Trump protests happening near the area at the time.

Authorities say five people with gunshot wounds have been taken to a hospital after a shooting in downtown Seattle.

Review of Coral Colours and Natural Glamour Makeup Products00:12
Hello Beauties 😘😘😘
I am so so sorry I have been so MIA lately. I have been so busy trying to get into uni life and complete assignments on time, as well as work. I am finally on my mid-semester break so I will be able to post a lot more. Anyways, today I will be doing a long awaited post on my thoughts on the new line from coral colour cosmetics and natural glamour. I was so lucky to be sent these makeup goodies to sample and try as they have now become a part of my everyday makeup routine.
Coral Colours
Coral colours is an Australian company, first launched in 1989. This company offers on-trend makeup products for an affordable price. This company also offers a wide range of makeup products for the eyes, lips, nails and face in various colours empowering and satisfying their customers.
The Products:
Matte Lipsticks - "01878 Blush" and "01882 Sunburst"
I was sent two of their newest lipsticks from the new matte line. These lip colours are in the shades "01878 Blush" and "01882 Sunburst". These two colours are so vibrant and are suitable for a more dramatic makeup look. Out of these two shades, my favourite is the "01878 Blush" as it matches my dark skin tone and also suitable with most monochromatic toned clothes (mostly what I own). The "01882 Sunburst" consists of a shimmery, orangish colour. I personally am not a fan of this shade as it does not suit my skin tone, however, it would look nice for an evening look. The formula of these lipsticks is soft and silky allowing easy application on the lips. However, I would still recommend wearing a lip balm before application just to allow the lipstick to settle in well. Below are some swatches of the two colours.
Left: "01878 Blush" to "01882 Sunburst"
Mineral Bronzer - "Sienne 13106"
This is one of the best products I have ever tried. It is a bronzer/highlighter that adds a glow to enhance the complexion. The glow given off is soft yet enough for a natural evening look. I usually wear this as a part of my everyday makeup look because it helps brighten up my face making it more lively. I recommend wearing this with a darker bronzer on the cheekbone to help sculpture the cheekbones for a more defined look. The packaging of this is also so adorable and easy to fit in any makeup bag. The price of this is also affordable for such a high-quality product.
Mineral Foundation
Setting my foundation has been a challenge for me in the past. After receiving this mineral foundation, I have been able to keep my foundation staying on for longer. This powder can also be worn by itself if you are on the run and wanting a natural coverage. This powder is free from paraben, talc and bimuth oxychloride, which are harmful. Coral cosmetics offers 4 different shades so that variety of skin tones are able to use this product.
Mineral Blusher - "Obsidian 13107"
This blush is the perfect mini pop of colour for the cheeks. I recommend applying this blush on the apple of the cheeks to help brighten up the face. The shade I received has some added shimmer that adds to create a glowy complexion. The formula is also smooth and silky so that it applies on the skin well. To set this blush for keep it lasting longer, I recommend using a setting spray.
Natural Glamour
Natural glamour is an iconic Australian company that strives to provide diverse in colour, coverage and course. They have been delivering exceptional beauty products for an affordable price since they first launched.
1) Perfecting Primer: Out of all of the primers I have previously used, this one is definitely my favourite due to the smooth and soft texture it gives. This primer is suitable for wearing before foundation for ease of application as well as to minimise any pores and keep the makeup lasting longer. This is a must have product for anyone's makeup bag. Directions: To apply this primer, ensure that the face is clean, dried and moisturised. Press down on the application tip to release the product and rub all over the face.
2) Anti-aging foundation: Made with unique vitamins and sodium hyaluronate to counteract ageing, this foundation is soft and silky on the skin allowing for easy application. This foundation has a high coverage so it can be used as a part of daily makeup routine without the need for use of concealers. I also love how the foundation colour matches my skin tone so it looks natural. This foundation gives a matte finished looked so that the wearer looks "on fleek". The only thing I am not a fan of about this product is the citrus smell it has.

Estimates peg the total number of domestic Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) Prime accounts at 54 million. If so, Amazon is the largest provider of streaming video in the U.S., bigger than even Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) (the streaming specialist exited the first quarter with almost 47 million domestic subscribers).
But the comparison is difficult to make, as Amazon Prime includes so much more than streaming video. Its most notable perk is free two-day shipping, but Amazon also gives Prime members the ability to store unlimited photos online, and access to, among other things, Prime Pantry and Prime Music.
How many Prime subscribers are actually using Prime Video? According to a recent survey, many Prime members continue to ignore Amazon's streaming service.
Almost one in five don't bother
Online publication CutCableToday surveyed 360 Prime members to gauge their streaming video habits. While almost 10% said they used Prime Video "daily", nearly 20% said they "never" used it. The remaining 70% were split roughly evenly between those who used it weekly and those who used it monthly.
Prime members who ignore Amazon's video offering may be doing so for a wide variety of reasons. Perhaps they're simply uninterested in Amazon's content, or lack the hardware necessary to take advantage. But ignorance may be the single biggest factor: According to the survey, 8% of Prime members didn't even know their membership fee gave them access to Amazon's streaming catalog.
Converting Global Globes to shoes and diapers
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has defined Prime as a fundamental pillar of the company's business. With Prime members paying around $100 per year for the service, Amazon may be generating around 4% to 8% of its revenue from memberships alone. And once they buy in, Prime members have a tendency to spend more, far more, than their non-Prime counterparts. According to Consumer Intelligence Research Partners, U.S. Prime members spend an average of $1,100 per year with Amazon, compared to $600 for non-Prime members.
Prime Video offers another way to attract would-be members to the service, and retain them once they've signed up. At Amazon's annual meeting of shareholders earlier this month, Bezos noted that customers who take advantage of Prime Video during a free Prime trial are more likely to convert to paying memberships when their trials end.
Prime Video still has room to grow
Amazon shares have gained more than 64% over the last 12 months, soaring to an all-time high in the process. Clearly, Amazon's management is succeeding. But Prime Video still lags its competition. In its survey, CutCableToday asked Prime members about their habits when it came to other streaming services, and found higher levels of engagement with rival offerings. Of the Prime members surveyed, 38% said they watched Netflix on a daily basis, and 12% said they watched Hulu just as often.
Amazon Prime has ensnared about 40% of all U.S. households, which may suggest a level of saturation, but improvements to Prime Video could draw even more to the service. With so many of its members ignoring it, Amazon clearly has an opportunity to improve Prime Video. That could spur additional Prime members and, ultimately, thousands of dollars of additional retail sales.

a question for all the parents out there
Have you ever had one of those nights where you want to run out the door, get in your car and never, ever come back?
« meeting mr. g. | Main | writing about hamas while eating hummus »
Have you ever had one of those nights where you want to run out the door, get in your car and never, ever come back?
Ummm, like tonight? I called a friend and asked if smoking crack was a bad thing, ha! Honestly, your kids are much older than mine and you are giving me no hope for the future.
Yep. That's why music keeps me sane. Or, keep your sanity by looking at these little works of art.
YES! Should I stop by and pick you up?
My girls are 2 and almost 3 -- yeah, I wanna escape. NOW. Do I have to leave a forwarding address?
oh honey you so need to read todays post on my site
youll understand soon
Yes. You are the only parent who has ever felt this way, ever. You are a disgrace.
Sell me your children. I'll put them to good use.
I was gonna say were there ever any kind of other nights, then I saw the question was limited to parents, so I am not eligible to say anything. ;) I am eligible to father children, though.
The proper question isn't "have you".... but "How OFTEN?"
Nope, but I've seriously considered wearing industrial ear muffs around the house!
Yeah, and then I blog about it, get called all sorts of bullshit names and decide I'm more pissed at the catty pissants who start fights over things like that, which makes me forget how irritated I am with my kids.
or just throwing the kids out for the night and locking the door. I'd throw a blanket so they'd stay warm, I just don't think I should be the one to have to leave when they are the ones causing all the freakin' chaos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! plugs my ears to not hear my son STILL crying because I had the nerve to make HIM take his shower first
my wife wanted a bigger apartment so we and the boys would have more room. I just wanted an appartment for myself.............simple.......
Reminds me of an incident from my childhood.
There were five of us kids - I'm the oldest, and was about 9 or 10 at the time. We were being more rambunctious than normal, and my mother had had enough of us. She yelled at us that she couldn't take our misbehavior any more, and she was running away from home.
A short time later, my father came home from work and was immediately surrounded by crying children who were very scared because Mommy had run away from home, and they didn't know where she was, and they were very sorry and wouldn't do it again, and please, Daddy, please find Mommy!
I found out later that she'd gone down the street to a neighbor's house to have a cup of tea where she could keep an eye on the front of the house.
reminds me of a quote
"One hell of a morning has turned into one bitch of a day"
now why do you think I never let the gas tank fall below half??
We are counting down the days till we do.
The plan is to sell the house while the bastards are out cashing their welfare checks, hit the RV Depot, and take off into the wherever.
You are not alone... I'm sure the kids feel the same way too sometimes :)
"You can't leave. All the plants will die." -- Bill Murray, "Stripes."
Oh, you mean there are supposed to be nights when you DON'T feel like this? Damn.
Hmm... and my wife has been through 2 surgeries and we have been forking over monthly payments to the fertility clinic for that? Maybe we should buy a boat or something.
Indeed Yes!! Yesterday was definitely one of those days, because the only children I have are the apparent infants who read my site:
To Dean Esmay: Lighten up, fella. Michele isn't some kind of evil demon (oh, right, she's 'right-leaning')just because she gets exasperated with her kids! I have twin 5-yr-olds, and if I had a nickel for everytime I thought like that.......I'd be able to hire a full-time nanny so that I could actually get in the car and drive awhile.
To Kevin: Don't give up hoping, stay positive. When it works, regardless of what we parents might say in a fit of pique, not a day goes by when I don't tell myself they're the best thing that ever happened to me.My kids are 5, and I still take the time to look in on them sleeping before I turn in. Angelic, regardless of how horrific they have been in the waking world.
Ken to co-worker: I got a bike for my oldest son on the weekend.
Co-worker to Ken: That sounds like a pretty reasonable exchange.
Did your kids have parents in the first place, in that, was they delivered by the stork, and not not sprung up from dinosaur capsules? Michele, you bitch, take your kids to the swap meet, instead. You might check Ebay, as well.
Oh, the comment above was mine.
I'm having one of those days at work, does that count?
I have those thoughts about my spouse, not my kid. Actually, I want fantasise that she will get in the car and never come back
Dean was being light.
You're also right about kids sleeping being angelic. It's their defense mechanism. The innocent look on our two's faces is what keeps my wife and I from strangling them as they sleep.
Strange that such moments coincide. Matter of fact I had mine yesterday! After feeling guilty I realized that it wasn't the kids fault, I wasn't exasperated with them but their mother. However in her usual manner their step mom diffused the situation better than anyone I know can.
There are nights that you don't want to?
Is this a trick question? They're teens now...it gets worse!
I never got farther than 2 miles. Hang in there.
Ok, I gotta have one more word here
Kids are worth it because, sooner or later, they give you grandkids
AND THOSE are a dream!!!
My twin grandsons turn one Saturday, and I am LOVING being a grandma (confession: it did take me a bit to get used to the concempt..I mean I'm not "old"...and neither is my still golfing snowsking mom now great-grandma @ 72)

App::Framework::Feature::Options - Handle application options
# Options are loaded by default as if the script contained:
use App::Framework '+Options' ;
Options feature that provides command line options handling.
Options are defined once in a text format and this text format generates both the command line options data, but also the man pages, help text etc.
Option Definition
Options are specified in the application __DATA__ section in the format:
-<name><specification> <Summary> <optional default setting>
These user-specified options are added to the application framework options (defined dependent on whatever core/features/extensions are installed). Also, the user may over ride default settings and descriptions on any application framework options by re-defining them in the script.
The parts of the specification are defined below.
The name defines the option name to be used at the command line, along with any command line option aliases (e.g. -log or -l, -logfile etc). Using the option in the script is via a HASH where the key is the 'main' option name.
Where an option has one or more aliases, this list of names is separated by '|'. By default, the first name defined is the 'main' option name used as the option HASH key. This may be overridden by quoting the name that is required to be the main name.
For example, the following name definitions:
Are all access by the key 'log'
(Note: This is a subset of the specification supported by Getopt::Long).
The specification is optional. If not defined, then the option is a boolean value - is the user specifies the option on the command line then the option value is set to 1; otherwise the option value is set to 0.
When the specification is defined, it is in the format:
[ <flag> ] <type> [ <desttype> ]
The option requires an argument of the given type. Supported types are:
- s
String. An arbitrary sequence of characters. It is valid for the argument to start with
- i
Integer. An optional leading plus or minus sign, followed by a sequence of digits.
- o
Extended integer, Perl style. This can be either an optional leading plus or minus sign, followed by a sequence of digits, or an octal string (a zero, optionally followed by '0', '1', .. '7'), or a hexadecimal string (
0xfollowed by '0' .. '9', 'a' .. 'f', case insensitive), or a binary string (
0bfollowed by a series of '0' and '1').
- f
Real number. For example
-6.23E24and so on.
The desttype can be
@ or
% to specify that the option is list or a hash valued. This is only needed when the destination for the option value is not otherwise specified. It should be omitted when not needed.
The flag, if used, can be
dev: to specify that the option is meant for application developer use only. In this case, the option will not be shown in the normal help and man pages, but will only be shown when the -man-dev option is used.
The summary is a simple line of text used to summarise the option. It is used in the man pages in 'usage' mode.
Defaults values are optional. If they are defined, they are in the format:
When a default is defined, if the user does not specify a value for an option then that option takes on the defualt value.
The summary is multiple lines of text used to fully describe the option. It is used in the man pages in 'man' mode.
Variable Expansion
Option values and default values can contain variables, defined using the standard Perl format:
When the option is used, the variable is expanded and replaced with a suitable value. The value will be looked up from a variety of possible sources: object fields (where the variable name matches the field name) or environment variables.
The variable name is looked up in the following order, the first value found with a matching name is used:
Option names - the values of any other options may be used as variables in options
Application fields - any fields of the $app object may be used as variables
Environment variables - if no application fields match the variable name, then the environment variables are used
Script Usage
The application framework passes a reference to the options HASH as the second parameter to the application subroutine app. Alternatively, the script can call the app object's alias to the options accessor, i.e. the options method which returns the options hash. Yet another alternative is to call the options accessor method directly. These alternatives are shown below:
sub app
my ($app, $opts_href, $args_href) = @_ ;
# use parameter
my $log = $opts_href->{log}
# access alias
my %options = $app->options() ;
$log = $options{log} ;
# access alias
%options = $app->Options() ;
$log = $options{log} ;
# feature object
%options = $app->feature('Options')->options() ;
$log = $options{log} ;
With the following script definition:
-n|'name'=s Test name [default=a name]
String option, accessed as $opts_href->{name}.
-nomacro Do not create test macro calls
Boolean option, accessed as $opts_href->{nomacro}
-log=s Override default [default=another default]
Over rides the default log option (specified by the framework)
-int=i An integer
Example of integer option
-float=f An float
Example of float option
-array=s@ An array
Example of an array option
-hash=s% A hash
Example of a hash option
The following command line options are valid:
-int 1234 -float 1.23 -array a -array b -array c -hash key1=val1 -hash key2=val2 -nomacro
Giving the options HASH values:
'name' => 'a name'
'nomacro' => 1
'log' => 'another default'
'int' => 1234
'float' => 1.23
'array' => [ 'a', 'b', 'c' ]
'hash' => {
'key1' => 'val1',
'key2' => 'val2',
The following fields should be defined either in the call to 'new()', as part of a 'set()' call, or called by their accessor method (which is the same name as the field):
- user_options - list of options
Created by the object. Once all of the options have been created, this field contains an ARRAY ref to the list of all of the specified option specifications (see method "append_options").
- option_names - list of options names
Created by the object. Once all of the options have been created, this field contains an ARRAY ref to the list of all of the option field names.
- new([%args])
Create a new Options.
The %args are specified as they would be in the set method to set field values (see "Fields").
- options()
Feature accessor method (aliases on the app object as options)
Returns the hash of options/values
- Options([%args])
Alias to "options"
- option($option_name)
Returns the value of the named option
- update()
(Called by App::Framework::Core)
Take the list of options (created by calls to "append_options") and process the list into the final options list.
Returns the hash of options/values
- append_options($options_aref [, $caller_pkg])
Append the options listed in the ARRAY ref $options_aref to the current options list
Each entry in the ARRAY ref is an ARRAY ref containing:
[ <option spec>, <option summary>, <option description>, <option default> ]
Where the <option spec> is in the format <name><specification> (see "name" and "specification" above). The summary and description are as describe in "Option Definition". The optional default value is just the value (rather than the string '[default=...]').
Can optionally specify the caller package name (otherwise works out the caller and stores that package name)
- clear_options()
Clears the current options list.
- get_options()
Use Getopt::Long to process the command line options. Returns 1 on success; 0 otherwise
- option_entry($option_name)
Returns the HASH ref of option if name is found; undef otherwise.
The HASH ref contains:
'field' => option 'main' name 'spec' => specification string 'summary' => summary text 'description' => description text 'default' => default value (if specified) 'pod_spec' => specification string suitable for pod output 'type' => option type (e.g. s, f etc) 'dest_type' => destination type (e.g. @, %) 'developer' => developer only option (flag set if option is to be used for developer use only) 'entry' => reference to the ARRAY that defined the option (as per L</append_options>)
- modify_default($option_name, $default)
Changes the default setting of the named option. Returns the option value if sucessful; undef otherwise
- defaults_from_obj($obj [, $names_aref])
Scans through the options looking for any matching variable stored in $obj (accessed via $obj->$variable). Where there is an variable, modifies the option default to be equal to the current variable setting.
Optionally, you can specify an ARRAY ref of option names so that only those named are examined
This is a utility routine that can be called by extensions (or features) that want to set the option defaults equal to their object variable settings.
- obj_vars($obj [, $names_aref])
Scans through the options looking for any matching variable stored in $obj (accessed via $obj->$variable). Where there is an variable, modifies the object variable value to be equal to the current option setting.
Optionally, you can specify an ARRAY ref of option names so that only those named are examined
This is effectively the reversal of defaults_from_obj
- option_values_hash()
Returns the options values and defaults HASH references in an array, values HASH ref as the first element.
- option_values_set($values_href, $defaults_href)
Sets the options values and defaults based on the HASH references passed in.
Setting the debug flag to level 1 prints out (to STDOUT) some debug messages, setting it to level 2 prints out more verbose messages.

Taylor Swift Accused Of Allegedly Stealing Lyrics In 'All Too Well'
Oh no! Taylor Swift has come under fire for allegedly stealing a Matt Nathanson lyric from 2003 and using it in her song 'All Too Well,' a track on her new album 'Red.' Do YOU think Taylor would do that?
Taylor Swift, 22, is known for her amazing song lyrics, but now, singer Matt Nathanson, 39, is accusing Taylor of stealing a line he wrote back in 2003 in his song called "I Saw."
He tweeted, and later deleted, on Oct. 24, "she's definitely a fan… and now she's a thief."
The blog Oh No They Didn't! pointed out the similar lyrics on Oct. 31, adding, "I wouldn't think much about it normally except for the fact that she is a fan of his…she has written HIS lyrics on her arm at her concerts before [during her Speak Now tour]."
Matt went back to his Twitter on Nov. 2, saying, "so far, my favorite thing about today is the wave of @taylorswift13 fans calling me a prick on twitter for writing "i saw" in 2003."
Matt sings in 2003's "I Saw' — "and I'll forget about you long enough to forget why I need to."
Taylor's 2012 song "All Too Well" goes like this: "and I forget about you long enough to forget why I needed to."
HollywoodLife.com has reached out to their reps and is awaiting comment.
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Is it a coincidence or did Taylor steal Matt's lyrics?
