I broke up with Fear and as I celebrated the guidance of the Lord concerning this failing relationship, I could not help but hear Fear's husky voice singing 'What's love got to do with it'. I have always found Fear's voice quite romantic, it is very convincing and yet today I am not so impressed.
As I listened to Fear sing, I could not help but wonder how I ever fell for that. His voice was really good – convincing infact but not a voice of honesty. Not a voice you want speaking to you in the middle of the night. Something about this voice sent chills up your spine.
I thought of the number of times Fear had won the arguments we constantly had just because he made a logical argument. I said it then and I say it again, I was glad to say 'It is over' to Fear
I have found a person that cares. Since I met Him,I sleep better and my day's are filled with joy. I have hope like I never thought was possible. I no longer wake up in the middle of the night with a cold sweat
because I am secure and Fear has no hold on me
I am free from Fear
I am totally free
I broke up with fear and it is Love's fault

The question:
What would you advise an ex cop, local government councillor and youth worker who wants to be in the social and environmental development industry?
My answer:
This sounds like a magic wand request!
What happens during a career development session is generally quite different and no crystal balls or magical wands are involved! It's a lot more complex than some of the ads you might have seen make it appear, and more complex than some people are prepared for. It takes time, and the ability to self reflect to get the most from the investment.
Generally, my work with clients is firmly based on values, so we begin with an exercise to help them clarify what's important to them as an individual and to help them think and see their life from a different perspective.
Many of us bumble along, fall into our first job without thinking too much about what's important to us, and stumble haphazardly from one thing to the next with no particular idea what we're searching for.
The values exercise is, for most people, surprising and grounding. They often say, "I'd never thought about it like this before." It helps them see where their values may be at odds with their employer and vice versa. When values aren't compatible, or worse, completely at odds with your employer, it's no wonder you're unhappy. (The mini documentary Green Generation introduces a young man whose values led him from an arguably desirable job where his values weren't met by the company to completely new challenges. There's a bit about it here)
Working within the reality of your situation
Sometimes bitterly unhappy people know what the issues are, but for financial or other reasons are unable to change careers or workplaces. We then work within the reality of that situation and look at ways to support, and possible expand on, the positive things that are happening in their lives so than an unhappy work situation doesn't overwhelm them.
This might include support in more effective communication strategies, assertiveness training, or tactics to deflect the undermining aspects of bullying. It could be looking at spending more time on significant relationships outside work, finding new hobbies, getting more exercise or eating with a mindful attitude. There is no "one size fits all" quick fix response.
Simultaneously, we could be looking at a 5+ year plan, working towards a career theme (not a specific job) supporting your values, skills and interests, which will be more fulfilling while meeting current family and financial commitments.
Then of course, there are the challenges of location. It's not always possible to work locally, and this can be an uncomfortable issue when an hour plus commute through heavy traffic is at odds with valuing environmental responsibility. For that one, there are no easy answers.
I hope this doesn't sound like a cop-out response. Any superficial reply would be ultimately unhelpful, and doesn't allow for the nuances, contradictions and complexities of a real person.
I do so wish I had that magic wand, I'd have made a fortune by now!
A quick fix is less satisfying than deep reflection
... But, just thinking on that, I doubt my clients would be better off if I waved a magic wand. Whilst the journey of looking deeply into their values isn't for everyone, and can sometimes be challenging and confronting, most people are grateful for the experience, and they are enriched by the process.
While none of us have the ability to see into the future, our values stay with us for life. The people I work with want to live with integrity, and when decisions are made thoughtfully and based on the solid foundation of values, they have much more chance of living a rich, full and meaningful life, no matter where they end up working.
As you can see, what you might have experienced at school will be quite different to what I've described here. Career Development is often a life-long process, evolving as our interests and needs change, and in response to economic conditions and environmental factors. It's something most of us will revisit time and time again as we respond and adapt to real events in our lives right through to retirement.

World Fountain
Since 1983, the Weltkugelbrunnen or World Fountain has provided a refreshing addition to the City West district and forms the centre of a sunken square along the south-east edge of the Breitscheidplatz directly in front of the Europa Center. It is a popular meeting place for Berlin's many street artists and entertainers including acrobats and pantomime actors to portrait artists.
Loving known by the locals as the Wasserklops or water ball, this hemispherical fountain made of red granite and bronze captivates onlookers with its figures, stairs, geometric shapes and carvings, especially when the water is allowed to flow over it and collect in the basin at its foot.
The fountain was designed by Professor Joachim Schmettaus and constructed as part of the architectural redevelopment of Breitscheidplatz between 1982 and 1984. The redevelopment of Breitscheidplatz, based on designs from architects Ivan Krustik and Oskar Reith, involved the breaking of road connections between Kurfürstendamm and Budapester Straße (1977-78). Since then, Breitscheidplatz has been a pedestrian zone.

Heard about the Porsche 918 Spyder hybrid?
Well, if you're out looking at the Nissan Leaf and decide you would like spend, oh, 25 times more to cut your fossil-fuel consumption, then maybe swing by your Porsche dealer.
You'll have to wait until 2013 to take delivery on this showy sizzler from Stuttgart. And did we mention the Porsche Spyder's base price: $845,000?
The funny thing is, this isn't even the hybrid supercar with which Porsche is making real automotive-development news. That would be the 918 RSR, just announced at the Detroit Auto Show. That one's a reinforced-carbon-fiber, gas-and-electric beast – 767 horsepower combined – bred for high-endurance competition at places like LeMans. Forget the price. Buckling into a racing harness is such a drag, anyway.
The street-legal Porsche 918 Spyder, to get back to your shopping needs, was a concept car last year at the Geneva Auto Show, and it's now scheduled for production. It's a plug-in. A full charge reportedly takes just a few hours.
It's also powerful: about 500 horsepower from its V8, a couple hundred more from the electric assist. And it's fast: zero to 60 in 3.2 seconds, with a top end speed of close to 200 miles per hour. It gets 78 miles per gallon – but only if driven gingerly (yeah, right!)
Of course it's lovely. It's from the stable of Dr. Ferdinand Porsche.
That's a marquee with a lot to live up to. But the question may be: Why another limited-edition hybrid – they're building 918 of them – priced in the stratosphere? Isn't that like a Paris fashion house producing a "sustainable" sheath dress that would only ever make an appearance on Hollywood's red carpet?
RELATED: Which of these Top 10 most expensive cars have been recalled?
Porsche is already in the hybrid business. It sells a gas-electric version of its Cayenne SUV, and plans a hybrid version of its Panamera, the four-door hatchback that arguably looks like a 911 that's eaten way too much wurst.
Remember when getting into a Porsche was as easy as picking up an entry-level 914 – that quirky targa-topped roadster developed in the late 1960s? (So what if your buddies called it a glorified Volkswagen?)
Brand management is fine. But there's no down-market variant of any Porsche in sight, and maybe hybrid would be the place to make that play.
In fact, with the 918 Spyder hybrid, Porsche has seen a need to offer high-fliers a sweetener: a less-costly gasoline-only 918 Spyder will also soon be produced – and the only buyers eligible will be those who have signed up to purchase the hybrid.
The gas-powered cousin will be called the 911 Turbo S Edition 918 Spyder, and run $160,000 for a hardtop, an additional $12,000 for the ragtop. Little something for when you want to stomp on the gas and actually burn some.

Courageous conversations
Already in our hearts a deep conversion has taken place. Our task now is to deepen that conversion. We are not striving to find or access the Holy Spirit. We wait for a stronger experience of that Spirit. The divine presence is the gift already there. The holy well of nourishment is already within us. Because we have tasted its sweet water we look for more. We are asking for what we have already received. This is the big secret. We are welcome to draw freely from the deep, fresh spring always within us – but something makes us afraid to draw too much.
We are surrounded by Gods' grace. It flows everywhere. There are many expressions of this presence of grace. The Church speaks of the dance of the Trinity, the wind of the Spirit, the sap and the yeast, the growing and the blossoming. But we block and limit that blessed flow of healing. Once unblocked, we become free beyond our dreams – free from fear, free from resentment, free from anxiety.
Our lives are transformed. We experience the beauty of our 'hidden selves', we live 'the abundant life'. That transformation marks another step towards deepening the reign of God around us – a reign of peace and respect, of equality and justice. We prepare our hearts so as to save our world.
Spirituality of the Heart
This spirituality reveals that everything we search for is already within us – the joy, the freedom, the peace, the courage, the divine energy. It is a way of knowing that the touch of God, the healing Spirit, is hidden in all that happens to us – even in the most painful experiences. When we see the presence of God in our most ordinary, daily routines, and in the darkness we often experience, then our lives are transformed.
Our self-esteem soars, our capacity for being creative takes off, the clouds and shadows of our life no longer frighten us. We are astonished when we discover the immensity of God's unconditional love for us!
This section is about nourishing the mind, heart and soul. It will offer spiritual reflections for daily prayer, personal searching, DIY home retreat. We will reflect, as the weeks go by, on the place of awareness, forgiveness, letting go, fear, in our efforts to live the abundant life.
You are invited to think about 'the deepest freshness deep down things'; about seeking the secret of turning your life around, and of living more freely and more abundantly. The aim is to become more acquainted with your own precious 'hidden self' and to find there everything you have longed for all your life.
We need to be reminded about God's unchanging embrace at every twist and turn of our days, reassuring us that we are never alone, that there is nothing we cannot achieve with God's arms around us. This section will offer brief meditations to facilitate our inner journey towards a deeper conversion and transformation.
The inner transformation of our lives is not just for our own well-being: it is only to set us free to give our energies to our sisters and brothers by promoting a richer quality of life for all those who are living in profound pain, fear and deprivation, and for the earth itself.

This is a 47-slide PowerPoint. There are 3 common approaches to pricing: Cost-based Pricing, Competitive Pricing, and Value-based Pricing. This presentation discusses A.T. Kearney's approach to Value-based Pricing. Value-based Pricing offers numerous distinct advantages over the other 2 pricing methodologies. It is particularly suitable for situations where you are entering a new market, offering a new or distinct product, or where customers do not yet fully understand the impact and benefits of your product. Value-based pricing allows companies to build a deeper understanding of their customers' business drivers, align their goals with the customers' goals, and, ultimately, share in each others' attained value in a way that isn't possible with traditional pricing approaches. Value-based Pricing requires a significant change in the way most organizations go-to-market. It requires rethinking everything from customer segmentation to product marketing to sales and account management in order to support a new and unique market positioning. Core business processes must be realigned and new business process established. These new processes have deeper analytical capabilities embedded through the organization, especially in Sales. Topics covered include a comparison of common pricing strategies, principles to value-based pricing, value-based pricing strategy approach, Pricing Staircase framework, Value Ceiling, customer segmentation, pricing structure, Benefits Matrix.
This is a 29-slide PowerPoint. This document discusses Rogers' Five Factors, framework for analyzing and understanding the diffusion and adoption of product innovations. Businesses are interested in understanding how innovations diffuse, so that they can better predict and manage this consumer adoption. A popular framework for this is the Consumer Adoption Lifecycle (or Product Lifecycle), which traces the adoption of a product as it passes through 5 categories of consumers. This is a viewpoint that focuses on people. Rogers' Five Factors is a product-focused framework that should be used in conjunction with the Consumer Adoption Lifecycle. Developed by Everett Rogers, this framework proposes that the rate of innovation diffusion is largely driven by 5 product-based factors: 1. Relative advantage 2. Compatibility 3. Complexity 4. Trialability 5. Observability This document explains the framework, provides examples, shows how to use this framework with the Production Adoption Lifecycle, and includes PowerPoint templates that can be leveraged in your own analysis.
This is a 46-slide PowerPoint. Some innovations are truly spectacular, but consumers are slow or just refuse to adopt. In fact, over 70% of all new products fail in the marketplace--and innovative, new products fail at an even higher rate. Why is this the case? And, how do companies overcome this? This document discusses the psychology of product adoption. Topics include Prospect Theory, Endowment Effect, Loss Aversion, Give and Get Dynamics, Innovator's Curse, Product-Behavior Value Matrix, among other topics. It distills these concepts into Six Product Launch Strategies. This presentation has instructional slides and examples. The foundation of this consumer adoption discussion is around the difference between objective gains and losses vs. subjective gains and losses. This fundamental consumer bias results in psychological switching costs, in addition to economic ones. Studies have shown that, psychologically, losses loom larger than gains by two to three times.
This is a 34-slide PowerPoint. Product Lifecycle Analysis is an invaluable tool for developing a robust product marketing strategy. Marketers and strategists can use this analysis to predict sales growth, associated customer and competitor behaviors, and, in turn, devise the appropriate product marketing strategy. The Product Lifecycle itself it divided into 4 stages of development: * Introduction * Growth * Maturity (and Saturation) * Decline (and Termination) The length of each period varies tremendously. Some products have very short cycles, whereas others can take decades or even centuries to go through the cycle. The lifecycle can be mapped against the consumer adoption curve, where the peak of the curve generally occurs in the Maturity stage of the Product Lifecycle. This document details a 5-phase approach to proper Product Lifecycle Analysis and draws out key strategic insights at each stage of the lifecycle. Additional concepts discussed include: * Consumer Adoption Curve * Bass Diffusion Model * Lifecycle-Performance Factor Matrix * Strategic Positioning * Substitution Analysis
This is a 38-slide PowerPoint. This presentation provides an in-depth discussion on Pricing Strategy. Topics include: *Skimming vs. Penetration *Consumer Adoption Curve *Advantages and Disadvantages *Pricing Approach *Price Curve Analysis *Price Sensitivity Analysis *Pricing Tactics
The main objective of this online training course is to teach you presentation skills and help you conquer the task of speaking in front of people. By the time this session is over, you should be able to learn how to deal with stress related to public speaking; prepare and deliver a presentation, and give your audience something of value. The course will teach you basic public speaking tips and tricks and make you more confident speaking in public.

A Night
It feels like a flashback, a whiff of a familiar smell from ages past. I remembered this one time when I couldn't sleep around 5 in the morning. I was having insomnia the whole night and I couldn't take it anymore. So I woke up, walked quietly to the door to prevent my brother from waking up. To my surprise he wasn't there. So I walked out and saw the faint light downstairs. Turned out he couldn't sleep too. So we went outside and sat on the porch, talking, enjoying the cool breeze and the sweet familiar smell of the approaching morning. If nostalgia has a scent, this would be it.
And here I am, not willing to sleep because of this smell, this feeling, sunken feeling of memory deep in me. There were many instances where I recognize this smell: when I woke up in the early morning to go to school; when I woke up to follow my father to his farm, when I woke up and early to get to school during practical months. It brings back all these memories that I never knew I had. It feels so familiar that I can't bear to let it go.
Maybe I can blame it on my mild flu, coz it kinda reduced my nose's sensitivity to smell so everything is like a bit muted. I only know that I enjoy this feeling and I'm not gonna let it go just yet.
And it made me think bout the future too. What happens after I graduate? Where will my friends be? Where will I be? I've known these people for six years now. It's like we've grown up together and realizing it all these while. To think that we're gonna be separated so soon? Wow.. Why? Kinda sad to think about. Sigh.
A walk in the park. A glimpse of the moon. The breeze, like little fairies, flying on my skin. Cool, but makes me shiver not. Just enjoy the night.
Reminiscence. Full of joys, regrets, loves, the past, where nothing can be changed and the future, where nothing is known. Maybe that's why I don't want to let go of this feeling. Coz I feel it now, and that's the only certain thing at this moment.
The beautiful night. The silent night. The night to remember. The night, for the past to come alive, dancing around me. The night. The night for me.

There's Been a Death In My House
There's been a death in my house, or more accurately, from my house. My grandma just passed away at the age of 89, and 2 years of it were spent being oblivious of her surroundings, weather, and people.
The day that it happened came as a shock. I was going through my usual routine after lunch when came the phone call from my father saying my grandma has passed away and we're supposed to go to the hospital right away. I became blur then, not knowing what to do except announcing to the family and after that, going to the hospital.
I won't go into details here. I can only say that my father was the saddest of all, more to because he has taken care of my grandma for the last 20++ years while my uncles were at US building a life for themselves. I've heard people said that when a son/daughter has done his/her duty to the parents, he/she would not be troubled or sad considering he/she has taken care of the parents and there's no more regrets. How wrong it seemed to me at that moment considering that our relationship with someone is the most important thing, and all anger, regrets or even revenge will be dissolved at that very moment when we realize that that person is no more with us.
Throughout the days before the burial, I was alright. I didn't even feel sad. All the emotions came only on the morning of the burial, when we went to the morgue to prepare the coffin. My aunt burst out upon seeing my grandma's body. Immediately, the relatives around her almost became red faced, each maintaining his/her composure. I felt a lump in my throat then, and I tried to walk out of the morgue in case I cry. I have thought myself to be a cold man, emotionless when dealing with deaths and losses. At that moment, the lump in my throat seemed uncontrollable.
After the prayer service, we departed for the cemetery. It was a beautiful morning. The mood was dull nevertheless, and the shadows of the crosses and tombs looming over the pathways leading to our destination. The whole process went smoothly, and our mourning insignia was taken down as a sign to stop mourning and to continue our normal life.
To me, it has been surreal, and it is surreal even now. Just the day before my grandma passed away, we had dinner with her. She even said 'eat slowly' to us before excusing herself to go into her room. Maybe that was why I almost cried when I know that I won't see her again, a familiar figure in the house and most importantly, my grandma.
I guess, my consolation is that she accepted Christ long ago and she is now happier up there. I am glad that I was with her at the last moments of her life, and I am glad that I managed to say goodbye to her.
See you again, Grandma.

03-14-06 Mersman site redo gets axed
By Tim Cox email@example.com
The former Mersman Furniture Co. complex will remain as it is for the foreseeable future after Celina City Council members refused to give support to a proposed redevelopment effort. City council members voted 4-3 against resolutions of support for a plan to redevelop the site with a mix of senior citizen apartments and low- to- moderate-income houses. Even though the resolutions included no direct financial support for the plan, council members offered various reasons for opposing the project. Those opposed to the project cited the lack of need for this type of housing in the city, questions about future city financial commitment to the project and whether the city should be involved in the private venture project. Brickyard Investments Ltd., which owns much of the Mersman site, planned to partner with Buckeye Community Hope Foundation and other investors to build 30 apartment units and 30 single family homes. Resolutions of support from city council would have allowed the agency to apply to the Ohio Housing Finance Agency for federal tax credits. The $7 million project was dependent on getting the tax credits, and the applications likely will not be filed without city support, said Brickyard President Randy Bruns, who also owns Rockford Construction Services. The project also hinged on the successful demolition and environmental cleanup of the former furniture factory site, estimated at $1.7 million. Bruns had told city officials that if grant assistance cannot be secured for the demolition of the site, he would ask the city to contribute tax increment finance (TIF) revenue toward the project. Up to $500,000 might be needed without grant funding, he said. The Mersman complex is in a TIF that diverts real estate taxes on new development into a separate fund to pay for infrastructure and other public improvements. Tax revenue on the site would go from $6,000-$8,000 annually today to $70,000-$100,000 with the new residential development. Councilwoman Angie King questioned whether the city helping clear the Mersman site would be beneficial to the community. Neighborhood resident Kenny Slorp said he would like to see the site cleared and used for a jail or hospital. If neither of those is viable, Slorp said he would like to see the three-block tract turned into a park. King voted against the resolutions of support for the project along with June Scott, Myron Buxton and Ed Jeffries. Council members Collin Bryan, Rick Bachelor and Chris Mohler supported the plan. Council's vote is the latest setback for efforts to redevelop the complex, portions of which are crumbling. Brickyard Investments employee Jerry Butler called the structure a "dying facility" at a recent meeting on the issue. Late last year, Brickyard and the city were rejected for a $1.7 million Clean Ohio Revitalization Fund grant that would have helped demolish and clean up the site. Bruns left the meeting immediately after council's vote and would not answer questions. A telephone message left at his office this morning was not returned by The Daily Standard's press time. "I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it," Bruns said as he left Celina City Hall.

Jan. 4, 2010
FAIRFIELD, CT - Senior center Liam Potter (Lincolnshire, England) was named the Choice Hotels NEC Player of the Week today for the first time in his career.
Potter helped the Pioneers to a 3-1 record over the holiday winter break, averaging 14.5 points, 11.5 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per game. He recorded three straight double-doubles - all coming in Sacred Heart wins - and missed a fourth straight by just two boards in the Pioneers' 88-85 setback at FDU on Saturday.
Potter registered career-highs with 18 points and 13 rebounds in a comeback victory over Stony Brook on December 21st, then followed with 11 points, 13 rebounds and four blocks the following evening in an 82-79 win at Holy Cross. His third straight double-double came last Wednesday with 14 points, 12 boards and four blocks in a home victory over Brown. Against FDU, Potter contributed 15 points on 6-7 shooting, and added eight rebounds and a pair of blocks.
Potter, who sat out last season, currently leads the NEC with 2.7 blocks per game and ranks third in the conference with 8.2 rebounds per outing. He is also averaging 8.3 ppg, good for fourth on the Pioneers.

Their findings were based on 375 men and 435 women ages 21 to 87 from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging. All were free of heart disease and were followed for a mean of 7.9 years, said Jerome L. Fleg, M.D., a cardiologist at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute here, and colleagues.
The results, published in the July 25 online issue of Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association, go against the popular notion that regular exercise throughout life and into old age may help postpone the inevitable. Exercise did not change a person's rate of aerobic capacity decline, according to the study.
Instead, aerobic fitness declined dramatically at a rate of about four times greater during participants' 70s, compared with individuals in their 20s. However, the authors emphasized that lifelong exercise remains vital to the promise of an independent quality old age.
"The longitudinal rate of decline in peak VO2 in healthy adults is not constant across the age span in healthy persons, as assumed by cross-sectional studies, but accelerates markedly with each successive age decade, especially in men, regardless of physical activity habits," the authors wrote.
Previous cross-sectional studies looking at this issue may have provided "misleading, overly optimistic estimates of aging changes," they added.
Dr. Fleg and colleagues measured changes in VO2 expressed in milliliters per minute for each decade beginning from the 20s and going into the 70s. Measurements were taken while patients performed a treadmill test. On average, the men were older and heavier than the women in the study. Men were both more likely to be current smokers or never-smokers.
Overall, the rate of aerobic decline increased from 3% during the 20s to 6% by the 30s. By the time patients reached age 70, the rate of aerobic decline was greater than 20%.
The decline remained steady through old age with men hitting a faster rate of decline when they reached their 40s. For 40-year-old men, for example, the baseline peak VO2 averaged 3,114 mL/min and dropped by 260 mL/min or 8.3% over the decade. Once men reached age 70, their baseline peak VO2 was 2,244 mL/min and they lost 521 mL/min or 23.2% over the ten-year period.
While men may have gotten there faster, the women ultimately showed similar end results in decreased aerobic fitness. "A similar pattern of accelerated decline with age was observed in both sexes," the researchers wrote. The study showed for maximal exercise results, the peak VO2 mL/min was 2,844±664 for men and 1,851±467 for women; p<0.0001.
How these results might translate into the general population is unclear because it did not include patients with a prior history of medical problems.
"The rate of decline in the population-at-large is probably somewhat greater than what we observed here, because many older people will have disease-related deficits in addition to those brought on by age," Dr. Fleg said.
The research team noted the findings have important clinical ramifications because older adults' ability to maintain independence "depends largely on maintenance of sufficient aerobic capacity and the muscle strength to perform daily activities."
Despite the inevitability of aerobic fitness decline, exercise is still critical in living an independent life into old age, they said.
"Higher habitual levels of aerobic activity are accompanied by higher peak VO2 levels at any age, an advantage that is maintained over the years," they wrote. "Given the importance of aerobic capacity in activities of daily living, efforts to increase and maintain higher levels of peak VO2 in addition to strength training in older adults would likely improve their ability to live independently with a high quality of life."

PayPal Spain Customer Loop
Lost Faith in PayPal
I have lost all faith in "the number one trusted online Payment Methods". At least when it comes to the Spanish version of PayPal. Having had a Spanish PayPal account with my partner for some years we all of a sudden had our account restricted.
It was presented as just a formality of clarifying our identity.
When your account has had more than 2.500 USD going through it PayPal, according to the European Union, have to make sure that we are not money-launders or hidden behind false identity.
So far so good! That was okay with us and we faxed them everything they asked for and they verified having had all they needed.
Now 8 weeks later we find ourselves in what I will describe as the Paypal Spain Customer Loop.
PayPal Spain Customer Loop
Customer Service, which we have phoned twice a week since mid November, hasn't been much of a service.
They say they cannot access our account due to technical problems – every time, even though we can access the account daily without any problems.
Two Customer Service employees have submitted tickets to another department and state that the case is now out of their hands. When we ask for contact details to this department, they refuse to give any names or contact details.
They furthermore promise that they will resolve the issue in a day or two and phone us if they need further information. None of these promises have ever been fulfilled.
We are being sent around in a loop.
1. Since the 15th of November the Resolution Center has looked like this
Resolution Center
For almost 2 month the Photo ID and Proof of Address has been in progress and PayPals Customer Service state on the phone over and over again that everything they need has been supplied, but they cannot access the account and therefore we cannot get access to our money!
Needless to say that this information has been faxed to PayPal and they have confirmed having received it.
2. This is what happens when we click on "Photo Id – Resolve"
Photo Id – Resolve
3. This is what happens when you click on "Proof of address"
Again this information has been faxed, received and confirmed received by PayPal's Customer Service Spain (some of the conversations we have on tape) Yet PayPal keep sending letters saying "please go to the resolution center and resolve your limitation!"
See copy of letter from PayPal
To lift your receiving limit:
1. Log in to your PayPal account at https://www.paypal.es
2. Click the "Resolution Center" tab and complete all required steps.
Please provide the requested information as soon as possible. Once all the steps have been completed, we will review your PayPal account and email you to let you know if we have sufficient information.
If you cannot complete these steps, click "Contact Us" to go to the Help Center for more information or to contact Customer Service.
We appreciate your business and apologize for any inconvenience.
Case ID Number: PP-001-094-038-135
PayPal Account Review Department
Please do not reply to this email. This mailbox is not monitored and you will not receive a response. For assistance, log in to your PayPal account and click the Help link in the top right corner of any PayPal page.
4. When we look for the Resolution Center Case being reviewed by PayPal - The Resolution Center states "No case found"
5. When we click the Help link in the top right corner of any PayPal page – this is what happens
Help information isn't available in English yet!
6. Clicking on "contact us" brings up the same page and no contact information at all".
How To Escape The PayPal Loop
Naturally all the above screen shots from our account have been sent to PayPal and all available avenues have been tried. Still we are waiting to get access to our money.
Every 5th or 6th day we receive an automated instruction in Spanish that sends us through the whole "Monty Phyton PayPal Show" all over again.
Did I mention that we cannot reply to these automated answers, as the email address is not monitored!
Frustration is a mild description of the state of mind my partner and I are experiencing, so if any of you readers can guide us through "how to escape the PayPal loop" please feel free to leave a comment.
For others who are experiencing the same I have found a few sites that you may find useful.

How we got out of the Spanish Paypal Loop
After what seemed to be an eternity - we were suddenly in Luck! We had send the case to all the PayPal addresses we could find, when we Googled "PayPal Contacts", and we got an answer from Ireland!
Thanks to the Irish office the case has now been resolved. We never had any useful answer from the Spanish PayPal, in fact they kept sending us automated answers quite a while after we got access to our money.
So I guess the advice is - should you ever get caught in the Spanish PayPal Loop contact PayPal Ireland - they have REAL PEOPLE answering you!
Thank you Ireland!
i had the exact same issue and IRELAND HELPED ME!!
Exactly the same as above has happened to me, infact paypal have had hold of my money almost 2 years and i cannot get it back. I came out of my business then wanted to change my name to a personal name which was impossible. I also dont have any bills which are in my name so they wont accept this, all bills are in my husbands name. When i have tried to phone on many occasions they will not speak english which i think is bizarre a huge company like paypal. I just want my money
I hate dealing with the Spanish! My Paypal is linked through the UK thank God so I haven't experienced the problems you have. That is awful and I hope you get it resolved soon.

Progesterone has been around a long time. It is the all in one hormone that is present in most species of vertebrates of both sexes across all age groups. It has myriad of functions such as regulating blood sugar and building bone mass. It plays a major role in the human body. Many people think it is specifically a female hormone or that it is mainly important only during pregnancy and childbirth. Actually there is no major difference in progesterone production between men and women except during the luteal phase for women. Also, progesterone is a unique hormone upon which other hormones like estrogen and testosterone are built. Apart from from functioning as a counterbalance to estrogen it has many other functions and properties that make it important for maintaining good overall health and wellness.
During perimenopause a woman's body begins to slow down production of progesterone. This is when it becomes important to supplement the body's own progesterone production because it often dips down to zero which leaves a woman on the the dangerous path to estrogen dominance. The first most common method of supplementing progesterone levels for a woman is with progesterone cream or more specifically bio-identical progesterone cream. It is convenient and economical because some creams do not need a prescription and for many women a topical solution is preferable to a progesterone pill like Prometrium which is orally administered and needs a prescription. The second method is via a pill like Prometrium which most of the time is taken orally although it can be inserted into the vagina.
Natural progesterone cream is absorbed differently from progesterone pills. The cream is fat soluble and so is easily absorbed by the skin into the subcutaneous fat from where it gets absorbed into the blood through capillaries. In perimenopausal women the recommended dose is generally around 15-25 mg per day before the menses which translates to about 1/3 of a teaspoon of cream assuming that the progesterone content of the cream is approximately 3% by volume. Some creams even go up to 10% so it just depends.
There are many online sources detailing how to use progesterone cream in a topical way as well as showcasing some of the more popular brands such as renewed balance progesterone cream, oasis serene progesterone cream, progest progesterone cream, emerita progesterone cream, organic excellence natural progesterone cream and many others. Stay clear or labels that tout the benefits of diosgenin. This is the raw extract that has no benefit till its converted into natural, bio identical progesterone in a lab. Any wild yam progesterone cream such as wild yam 1 or natural woman progesterone cream will have a list of ingredients. Make sure that progesterone is the active ingredient.
Progesterone cream benefits are of course convenience and the fact that absorption through the skin is reasonably efficient. The con is the fact there are progesterone cream side effects. Progesterone being fat soluble will dissolve and some of it stays in the fat which creates problems for the balance of certain hormones like cortisol and testosterone in the body. Although this is not initially a problem, over time as the body's fat tissue accumulates progesterone from the use of progesterone creams this can cause substantial disruptions to the adrenal hormones.
Progesterone pills are also considered just as convenient in terms of administering progesterone. Usually not more than 2 pills are required on a daily basis. Some women prefer to take a pill rather than rub on a cream. The problem with the pill is that much of the progesterone is lost through the liver so you're really left with no more than 10% or so of the original pill dose. So if you want to have an effective dose of 20mg per day you will have to take a dosage of around 200 to 400mg and that's a lot of progesterone to send through your liver. Your liver will eventually get overloaded trying to process that much progesterone on a day to day basis. If creams and pills are not your thing then progesterone through intramuscular injection would be the best way. You don't have the problems of overdosing the liver and there is no problem of retention in fat tissue since the progesterone goes directly into the muscle and then from the muscle into the blood via capillaries. Not terribly convenient nor pain free but by far the most effective delivery system for progesterone without any side effects unless of course you're using synthetic progesterone.

WASHINGTON — Under pressure from conservative Republicans, White House officials Wednesday suspended behind-the-scenes talks with congressional leaders on a compromise on President Reagan's request for military aid to the Nicaraguan rebels.
At the same time, to counter the charge that he is shunning a diplomatic solution in Central America, the President dispatched diplomatic troubleshooter Philip C. Habib to El Salvador, Costa Rica, Honduras and Guatemala. Nicaragua is not on Habib's itinerary, Reagan said, because "you don't go where you're not invited."
Won't Consider Changes
As Habib left for Central America, White House spokesman Larry Speakes insisted that the President would not consider any changes proposed in Congress to his original proposal requesting $30 million in humanitarian aid and $70 million in unrestricted military assistance for the Nicaraguan rebels, known as contras .
"We're not interested in anything short of getting the President's package approved without restrictions," Speakes said. He added that Reagan "doesn't want any halfway measures--they haven't worked before and won't work now."

"Though being cute and fluffy, they don't die horribly"
Nutty Fluffies: review of this fun, physics based coaster/animal game.
After making a hardcore motorbike game and frolicking truck racing game, what could RedLynx games do next? How about sticking fluffy animals on roller coasters and hoping you don't crash them? Yes, makes sense to us too...
Available for both the iDevices and Android, Nutty Fluffies is a take on a very old game concept. You have a roller coaster that isn't connected to the track (like the Scenic Railways used to (see Margate's Scenic Railway and Great Yarmouth's Roller Coaster amongst others)). There is a brake man (in this case, a hippo) who works makes sure the train is going at a safe speed so that you don't come off the tracks.
You sweep left and right with your finger to control the speed of the coaster train. It's all simple stuff really, but the complexity lies in trying to attain the highest scores. There are hearts littered off the track, and getting to them will require some very fancy brakeman work to leap off the track, collect the hearts and then drop back safely onto the rails.
Add to that you can load your carriages up with an array of different animals. Mice are free, but only offer an extra 2 hearts each when you finish the level. Cats love drops and give bonus hearts on drops, and extra hearts when you finish. Dogs love airtime, so leaping off the track gives bonuses there. Pigs and Elephants up the stakes even more. The twist here is that you need to buy the additional animals and it's a play off between cost and winnings (hearts give coins, which in turn are used to build new coasters). Some coaster tracks are tricky and often result in crashes, so do you risk a train full of expensive elephants or free mice?
Somebody also seems to have forgotten to fit the trains with any restraints. Jumping too fast or landing too hard can result in your poor fluffy passengers ejecting and rolling down the track. Though being cute and fluffy, they don't die horribly and instead you can pick them back up if you pass by them - phew.
The game relies a great deal on repeat play. Complete a coaster track and you can replay it with an extra carriage added to your coaster. As they get longer (up to ten carriages), they get harder to control, but you can leap for hearts much farther off track. At the end of each run, you are awarded gold coins which you then use to buy more coasters (each new coaster being unlocked "for purchase" by completing a single run on the previous one). There are add ons to cars (like jet engines and magnets) too, which add to strategic elements of the game.
It's a simple game and very rewarding. Though as both a gamer and a coaster enthusiast, it's really hitting all of my buttons. Even so, it's still excellent fun and for $1 (£0.69) it's a no brainer if you've got any interest.
The biggest drawback is the constant begging for you to buy more coins. The game seems geared towards really forcing you to purchase in game credits. It's really not required as the game is still massively fun without the need for microtransactions. I know that they're the future of supporting games, but if I've paid for the game, give me a game that is free of constant nagging. I don't mind if there is added content that I can get only by using real money (it would be my choice if I wanted fluffy penguins or monkeys or something to adorn my trains, or for an extra set of tracks). However, contant badgering for me to spend real cash just for more coins which you can win by simply enjoying the game just feels a bit needy.
Beyond that though, the game is a steal; though I still have no idea why there are cuddly animals on a rollercoaster...

So, the final stretch! Our intrepid crew zipped right through a pack of zombies at the top of the stairs (the ghoul in charge of them was a little troublesome, but once his minions were gone…. poof!) and headed down into the Cathedral of Holy-Crap-That's-A-Lot-Of-Blood.
Vampires! Not the sexy True Blood humping kind of vampires, but kinda yucky clawing type vamps. Accompanied by a couple berserkers, a Dark Creeper and a rather nasty UnderPriest or Orcus.
These fell easily enough before the might of our heroes, and they elected (wisely as it turned out) to use their own, nice dry ropes, to rappel down into the lower chamber, rather than sliding down the blood-slicked chains and risking a 50 foot fall.
And who do you think they found here? Why, none other than Kalarel himself, busily trying to open the rift to Lord Orcus's realm in the Shadowfell.
Furious at being interrupted, Kalarel sicced his skeleton warriors and a Deathlock Wight on the heroes. Faeus and Torloke knew what to do about a caster though – get in his face and knock him down. With the wight occupied, the skeletons proved only a minor annoyance. However, Kalarel teleported into the middle of a glowing rune and rained destruction on all who came near.
A tough customer, he absorbed many hits and dodged even more, until our heroes ganged up on him – literally surrounding him and holding him down so that Shal and Faeus could beat him down.
The rift appears stable now, though dark claws are still attempting to swipe at anything coming near it. With any luck, no more death cult fanatics will find their way here to re-attempt what Kalarel so nearly achieved.
Next up… a victory feast at Winterhaven, followed by the continuing adventures, as told by Ashley

Taking a second look at a failed project can spark new inspiration.
After a project is complete and I send it out for to a several calls for entry. If the work is rejected I evaluate. Something about that completed project did not work. When I look critically at my own work I look at three areas.
- It could have been that my skills were not up to the challenge.
- Maybe the composition missed the mark.
- The quality of the digital image may have missed the mark.
I must admit, I am used to rejection. Not being included in shows is part of the process of getting better at what I do. Taking the time to evaluate the reasons a particular submission was not included in an exhibition is a source of inspiration.
"How can I reimagine this project?"
When I select an image to work with, I am telling a story through my work. I can talk about my work at length by the time I am done. I have a number of completed projects that failed technically or compositionally, but the story is still engaging. One of these failed stories was "Tom and Jim".
The quilt began with a picture taken of my father, James King Lowers and his brother, Thomas Houston Lowers; posing at the side of their home in Victor Colorado. I have a couple of these photographs taken with the brothers in a costume. This picture is of them dressed up as soldiers. At the time they were mesmerized by Teddy Roosevelt's "Rough Riders". Despite guns at the ready, they look nothing but cute.
Since the photo is over a hundred years old it is not a "high quality" image. There are scratches. It is a little fuzzy and the sepia print makes for a low contrast image. In my first attempt working with the image, I scanned it as a high resolution. I didn't improve the image before adding a series of overlays*.
*In photo manipulation software, a filter is a particular effect that can be applied to an image or part of an image. Filters can be traditional photographic filters or they can be complex programs used to create a wide variety of effects.
I made an obvious misstep when ordering the fabric. When an image has a vertical orientation rotate the image 90 degrees so the usable print is larger. When the fabric came from Spoonflower I realized that error and another big one.
In an attempt to add a "playful" quality I used a filter with warm colors that would blend well with the sepia print. What I failed to understand was the image was not enhanced by adding layers of photo filters, fabric or paint that further obscured the figures or made the composition visually busy.
The final "nail in the coffin" was the quilting. In attempt to bring the figures into focus, I used fine thread (Superior Threads "So Fine") in lighter flesh tones. By the time I was done, the faces were thick with thread and looked horrible.
Lessons were learned.
In my next post you will see how this picture was reimagined.
Until the next time........

"Ideology is fairy tales for adults." Thus writes economist and conservative maven Sowell in a best-of volume shot through with…ideology.
Though he resists easy categorization, the author has been associated with hard-libertarian organizations and think tanks such as the Hoover Institution for most of his long working life. Here he picks from his numerous writings, which have the consistency of an ideologue—e.g., affirmative action is bad, period. It's up to parents, not society or the schools, to be sure that children are educated. Ethnic studies and the "mania for 'diversity' " produce delusions. Colleges teach impressionable Americans to "despise American society." Minimum-wage laws are a drag on the economy. And so on. Sowell is generally fair-minded, reasonable and logical, but his readers will likely already be converts to his cause, for which reason he does not need to examine all the angles of a problem. (If it is true that most gun violence is committed in households where domestic abuse has taken place, then why not take away the abusers' guns as part of the legal sentencing?) Often his arguments are very smart, as when he examines the career of Booker T. Washington, who was adept in using white people's money to advance his causes while harboring no illusions that his benefactors were saints. Sometimes, though, Sowell's sentiments emerge as pabulum, as when he writes, in would-be apothegms: "Government bailouts are like potato chips: You can't stop with just one"; "I can understand why some people like to drive slowly. What I cannot understand is why they get in the fast lane to do it." The answer to the second question, following Sowell, might go thus: because they're liberals and the state tells them to do it, just to get in the way of hard-working real Americans.
A solid, representative collection by a writer and thinker whom one either agrees with or not—and there's not much middle ground on which to stand.

Imran Abbas looks to redeem himself in Bollywood as trailer for 'Jaanisaar' releases
Imran Abbas has been known to swoon ladies with his killer looks and mesmerizing sense of style. His first ever Bollywood venture with the sultry Bipasha Basu in Creature 3D failed to impress at the box office or garner appreciative reviews. However, the Pakistani import in Bollywood is determined to redeem himself as a worthy actor in Bollywood and will be seen in Muzaffar Ali's next Jaanisaar.
The trailer of the film (which was released yesterday) features Imran Abbas in a royal look, with shoulder length hair and his usual suave personality. The Pakistani hunk romances debutante Pernia Qureshi, who essays the role of a courtesan in the movie. The couple can be seen falling in love for each other's magnetic personalities yet however, as is the case with all love stories, something goes wrong. The lovers are driven apart and what's worse, there seems to be an ongoing Hindu-Muslim divide (like we expected anything else from a movie focusing on a pre partitioned sub-continent).
Imran Abbas New Movie In Bollywood 'Jaanisar… by waqas464
Jaanisaar has been directed by the famous Indian director Muzaffar Ali, who also directed the smash-hit film Umrao Jaan. Muzaffar Ali has taken to the director's chair after a long hiatus. Regarding the movie, this is what Muzaffar Ali said:-
"This is my comeback film as a filmmaker. This film takes off from where Umrao Jaan left off and is seeped in history. With this film, I want people to discover a lost culture."
The eagerly anticipated film releases on August 21, 2015. Hopefully the new feature film will help propel Imran Abbas towards better prospects in the Indian film industry.
