It is only available in the Oculus store when you are located in the US. If you are somwhere else you can use a VPN Client like GoVPN and select an US VPN server. When you have installed MilkVR you can turn off the VPN.
No no no its really easy actually!
I just did it (Australia) last night in about 5 mins.
Install regular oculus apps as per your country's standard rollout (if you haven't already).
Now go to the Playstore.
Download and install "GoVPN".
Sign up with an email (it's free with a 500 Mb limit).
Activate VPN with a US connection in the app.
Once activated you should have a little key in the notification bar to show a successful connection.
Open regular Oculus App.
Download MilkVR/ Buy US games/ explore more content.
Turn GoVPN off once you're finished VRing.
MilkVR is great and access to all the US content is also great.
*For those who are unaware. You can watch XXX videos downloaded from virtualrealporn using the Oculus 360 video app. Not just the MilkVR. Check out /r/oculusnsfw for more info
You should utilize VPNs. Because virtual private networks allow you to generate an alternate IP address, people often use them to access websites blocked by government censors or university firewalls.
I've tried numerous free VPNs and the three easiest and safest VPNs are SurfEasy, TunnelBear, and GoVPN. Each has a monthly data limit/cap. If you reach that amount, you must pay to gain more bandwith. Therefore, I tend to use all 3 and rotate them, so that I don't exhaust the data capacity on any one VPN in a given month.
SurfEasy: addresses in 6 countries; up to 2gb monthly cap
TunnelBear: addresses in 9 countries; 1.5gb monthly cap (with twitter promo)
GoVPN: addresses in US, up to 3gb (One of the best VPNs for non-USA residents)
Download GoVPN from play store.
Make sure oculus app is closed (good idea to close off all other open apps anyway). Connect to VPN- wait till ot says connected. Open Oculus app on phone (no need to go into gearVR yet). Should have access to US store now.
The only time you'll be able to access the apps once in the GearVR will be when it's in airplane mode or with the VPN activated. I'd just keep the VPN activated, start up milkVR. Download what you want, select a whole bunch of files-- take phone out of GearVR and turn off VPN so the downloads can go much faster.
Lemme know if u get stuck

The Premier League returns in midweek, after a weekend of cup action that saw top-flight teams deploy heavy squad rotation, often with disastrous consequences.
The changes would indicate that most of the league's top-performing players this term, will return to their respective starting lineups on Tuesday or Wednesday evening.
Looking for potential high scoring players in game week 23, sees the eye drawn to three of the division's top six in particular.
Manchester United were in free-scoring form at the weekend without the talismanic Zlatan Ibrahimovic (£11.7m).
FPL's second highest scorer this term will be invigorated by his short rest and looks like an imposing prospect as United eye not only Hull on Wednesday but also Leicester, Watford and Bournemouth in the next four weeks, with all but one of the games being at Old Trafford.
FA Cup commitments mean the Manchester derby has been postponed and that gives Zlatan a mouth-watering run. FPL players could do worse than selecting the forward as captain for the entire month of February.
Elsewhere in the United side, the offloading of midfield options by Jose Mourinho, offers little clues as to which of the supporting cast will start behind the big Swede.
The only certainty would appear that Michael Carrick (£4.3m) and Paul Pogba (£8.5m) will be re-instated after the pair were rested on Sunday.
Marouane Fellaini though, against the odds, refuses to vanish from the picture with Mourinho never afraid to deploy the robust Belgian as a "plan B".
Fellaini is far from a guaranteed starter but his effectiveness cannot be understated and at just £5.8m, could be a way for FPL managers to amass some sneaky points via the back door.
Similarly at Arsenal, runaway points leader Alexis Sanchez (£11.9m) appears to be the only guaranteed starter among the front six in Arsene Wenger's formation.
The finishing of Welbeck and Walcott, £7.3m and £7.4m respectively, will have given the manager food for thought but will it be enough to displace the on-form Olivier Giroud (£8.7m)?
The Gunners face struggling Watford this week and everyone among their attacking talents will be keen to get in on the action. The only man certain of a chance at this stage though, appears to be Sanchez.
Tottenham were another side to rotate heavily at the weekend as they scraped through a thrilling encounter with Wycombe Wanderers.
Dele Alli (£8.8m) was required to appear from the bench as part of a rescue operation but he and fellow high scorers Eriksen and Kane (£8.7m and £11.2m) were rested ahead of what looks like a good opportunity for them to consider their fine form against Sunderland's leaky rearguard.
Spurs also have three of their next five games at home, meaning any of their main danger men look like a good bets to keep the points coming for FPL bosses.

It was 7:30 p.m. and I was struggling to get my 2-year-old and my 4-year-old into bed. Techno music pounded directly below their bedroom, rattling the floorboards. I bounded downstairs, and after a heated exchange with the neighbor, who refused to turn down the music, I returned to our apartment. I put on my best "It's O.K." smile and announced a slumber party on the pullout couch in the living room, where a rhythmic pulse could still be felt, but eventually be ignored by children overcome with sleep.
There are many reasons my wife, Doreen Bucher, and I ultimately decided to leave Brooklyn — lack of space, access to good schools, greenery for the children — but when I look back, this was the moment, even if I didn't know it then, that made the move, perhaps, inevitable.
If that was the trigger, the looming prospect of kindergarten for our daughter was the slow burn. We were in a terrific area in Prospect Heights with the proverbial "up-and-coming" elementary school, but after two tours, we still weren't sold on it. It became but one stop in a yearlong odyssey through New York's real estate/education complex, where daily conversation consisted of zones, districts, charters, pedagogies and — with a delusional glance at our bank account — even private schools.
Along the way, viewing dozens of apartments near whatever schools we were considering was an increasingly dispiriting exercise. Anything we could afford wasn't on a par with our current place — a grand prewar two-bedroom, which, after years of saving, we had barely managed to purchase for just under $700,000 around five years earlier.
Even with a budget a few hundred grand higher than what we paid, we soon had the perpetual home buyer's lament — the seemingly stratospheric prices had only become higher and we were now too late to upgrade. Vast swaths of Brooklyn had reached escape velocity. Dejected, we began to look at houses outside the city, just to satisfy our curiosity, as we told ourselves.
All the while, the relationship with our neighbors below continued to sour. Any movement my children made, a little skip in their step, a short dance to "Taxi," resulted in howls of protest and more retaliatory techno. I had palpitations any time my son ran down the hall to give me a hug. Once outside, my early-morning walk with my children to preschool along cacophonous Flatbush Avenue, where even shouted conversation was barely audible, offered little relief.
We loved our apartment, but the certainty and sanity of staying there, and for that matter, in Brooklyn, were beginning to dissolve. Finally, after seeing a beat-up two-bedroom on the fourth floor of a creaky walk-up in one of our coveted school zones — for $1.2 million, beyond our budget — it seemed we weren't choosing to leave, but were being pushed out. But to where?
I grew up in suburban New Jersey, and though there is much to be desired about my hometown, the hypercompetitive atmosphere of the high school, where future Ivy Leaguers are minted by a robotic press, and the ubiquity of extreme wealth were not things I wanted to relive or have my children experience.
My wife and I both work in creative fields — I'm a writer and she is a marketing executive at a fragrance company — and we wanted a town with other professionals like us and a more laid-back vibe, but with an excellent school system. Since my wife works in Midtown, a short commute was a priority as well.
As a freelancer, I planned to work from home, so the house would need a good room for an office.
We initially favored New Jersey because my parents live there. We saw a beautiful old colonial in Montclair, but the commute on New Jersey Transit would have taken more than an hour for my wife, since the train arrives at Penn Station and her office is in the East 50s. Although we valued proximity to my parents, we realized that we valued a short commute even more.
With New Jersey out, all signs pointed toward the Hudson River towns of New York in lower Westchester County. The Metro-North Railroad takes commuters into Grand Central, and from Hastings-on-Hudson, the nearest to the city, the ride is as fast as 33 minutes.
My wife and I both had colleagues who lived in Hastings, and with its artsy, intellectual climate, it became our first choice, though we also looked at properties in Dobbs Ferry and Irvington. Over nine or 10 months we saw a dozen houses that were just O.K., and lost out in a bidding war for a house in Hastings with a spectacular view of the river.
But in spring 2014 we finally found a place in Hastings — a stately early 20th-century eclectic, with dark wood beams in the living and dining room ceilings and a classic tile roof, on a cul-de-sac and just a seven-minute stroll to the train. Before I even walked in the door, I knew this was it.
The asking price was above our budget, but we went for it. Time was running out to enter into a contract and close on a deal before the start of kindergarten that September.
We hadn't yet put our apartment in Prospect Heights on the market because we knew that finding a new home, not selling our current one, was going to be the tough part of the process. Judging by the fevered crowds at the open houses for every mediocre two-bedroom I saw in Brooklyn, I was confident our place would go fast and for top dollar. In my 20s, while working as a musician, I had a real estate license and hustled renting and selling apartments as my day job. I knew the business, so we decided to forgo the services of a broker.
Luckily, just as we had counted on, there was intense interest and a bidding war. Ultimately, the apartment sold for several hundred thousand over our asking price of $949,000, and in a bit of kismet, for the exact same price as our new home in Hastings. We had planned on paying less for a new home, banking the profits from the sale, but I reasoned that real estate is an investment, too.
Though we were relieved to be liberated from our urban headaches, moving to the suburbs confronted us with a flip side of fresh misgivings — meeting new people, discovering how I'd fare working from home in the suburbs, and seeing whether there was enough vibrancy downtown to sustain us. In the course of one year, though, we've been surprised about how these and other concerns have, or have not, been borne out.
The notion of "the suburbs" is unnervingly imprecise. They are as divergent as Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, is from Manhattan's Upper East Side. If you're planning on leaving the city, you should first spend a lot of time researching the towns themselves, then get serious about hunting for the actual house.
We saw an impossibly charming property — a rustic Craftsman-style house, with a separate stone cottage, both perched atop several sloping acres abutting a small woods — in Croton-on-Hudson, a more rural village about 20 miles north of Hastings. I envisioned myself working in the cottage-cum-office as my children frolicked in the field below.
And the idea of living in a country setting strongly appealed to me as superior to the ostensible conformity of a traditional suburb. But after several tortured visits, we passed on the place because of the longer commute and its isolation. Though we weren't looking for a bustling city center, the downtown was too limited. And we would have had to drive everywhere — to the train, to friends' houses, stores. Being able to walk places was a priority.
Houses in Hastings, even the larger ones, tend to be on relatively small lots. Not only does this encourage more walking, but seeing my neighbors 20 feet away having an evening drink on their front porch or the children across the street playing on a lawn creates a communal environment that many suburbs, let alone exurbs, don't have.
Shortly after we arrived, my wife and I attended a potluck dinner for parents of students at our son's new nursery school. At the party, the icebreaker among nearly every guest was: "So, what part of Brooklyn did you move from?" (The few Manhattan or European transplants took it in stride.)
It turned out nearly all of us had lived near one another in Brooklyn. And while my wife and I had friends in the city and I had a large professional network there, within a year we've made more friends in Hastings than we did in seven years in Brooklyn.
In the city, making new friends in my 30s wasn't as easy as it had been when I arrived after college, because almost everyone had been there for a decade or more and was already entrenched in their networks and lives.
But even now, a year into our new home, it still feels like the first weeks of college, with parents (who make up most newcomers to town) still figuring things out, and eager to forge new relationships. And though I miss the camaraderie of the writers space where I worked in Brooklyn, I've connected with a number of writers here, and, interestingly, go out with them, and friends in general, more often than I did with colleagues and acquaintances in the city.
In early 2013 there was a now-infamous article in The New York Times that referred to Hastings as "Hipsturbia," about creative types moving there from Brooklyn. But the reality is Hastings, like every other suburb I've seen, is not hip. In some sense hipness is inextricably tied to urbanity and coolness with a certain aloofness. By contrast, the environment here simply seems friendlier. I chatted with our mayor at a party; the clerk at the mom-and-pop pharmacy smiles at me; my children lit up when we bumped into their babysitter in the stands at the high school football game. As a 41-year-old that's cool to me.
But I recognize not everyone, including plenty of parents, wants that vibe. The city was a place I had called home in various neighborhoods and boroughs for nearly 20 years. Part of the lure was the anonymity it allows. And though New York no longer vibrates for me with the energy it did in my youth, it is still, of course, a dynamic place.
For some people, to be immersed in that is worth whatever sacrifices need to be made. And decamping to the suburbs without children, for some, can be a dubious move. Kathy Leo, a former colleague of my wife and now an executive at the Gilt Groupe, and Steven Schwartz, a media executive, for example, moved to Maplewood, N.J., from a Manhattan loft when Ms. Leo got a new job nearby.
"We knew we were going to have a family so we figured we might as well do it," Ms. Leo told me. But feeling miserable and isolated, Mr. Schwartz said, they moved back to the city within two years.
As we house-hunted, my epiphany in Hastings wasn't at the hipsturbian Mill, a tavern I frequent with an outstanding microbrew list and dangling Edison bulbs, but at Pizza Grill, a tasty yet generic slice joint you've seen in a thousand towns. Sitting at a table in the back, while my children fought over the oregano shaker and light FM crackled from an old speaker, I looked up and noticed through the winter-steamed windows a magnificent view of the Hudson River and the cliffs of the Palisades beyond. Gazing, I thought, how wonderful for witnessing such beauty to be so ordinary.
I may have felt pushed from the city, but now, even if my old grievances could magically be resolved, I would have no interest in going back. Every morning I walk my son to school on the Old Croton Aqueduct, what's now a wooded trail that winds its way through several towns. As we share quiet conversation, pick up stones and marvel at the changing leaves in the canopy above us, the pace and color of life takes on a sweetly elegiac quality. I'm at once instantly nostalgic for the moments as they roll past yet feel a sense of serene presence.
To be honest, the one adjustment that most worried me was my self-consciousness over how other people would view me — and how I would view myself — after the move. For so many years I identified myself as Someone Who Lives in the City. Was I the type of person who lived in the 'burbs? But what does that even mean, or does it even matter, anyway?
So much of who we are is wrapped up in external definitions, an objectified self, as Sartre wrote of it. While working on my last book, I traveled around the United States, Europe and Asia, and whenever I said I lived in Brooklyn everyone knew it as some mythically hip place, especially so for a writer.
Is who you are defined by where you live? As I left the city I feared the answer. Now, I hope it's yes.

Ok Let's Try This Yet Again - Live Food Report - Day 12
We got up and had coffee in our room before heading down to the pool for a while. After an hour or so in the pool we got sorted and headed for lunch at whispering canyon cafe at wilderness lodge. DH and I had pomegranate lemonade and DD had a coke. This pomegranate lemonade makes a nice change from Coke.
DD order the kids chicken nuggets with fries. I tried these and absolutely love Disney chicken nuggets! They're so crispy
DH and I both went for the all you can eat skillet. It came with a serving or cornbread and salted whipped butter. This is absolutely delicious! It tasted like sponge cake but with a courser texture, really good!
The skillet had pulled pork, ribs, chicken, sausage, beans, mashed potato and corn on the cob. The ribs were quite chewy but the rest was really good. We got more corn on the cob as we really enjoyed that.
Our server asked DD if she wanted ketchup and this happened...
Love the attitude and antics of the servers here, it makes it a really fun experience
We used DH's annual pass for 20% discount here and so our total came to $52.17. It's the same skillet you get at dinner time but it's cheaper at lunch so with the discount it was foot value for a Disney table service meal.
After lunch we headed over to fort wilderness and DD did the pony ride. This is $8 and you lead them round a set track following arrows sat on a pony, this was great. It only lasts 5 minutes but DD absolutely loved it! It's a fantastic activity for young children.
We then drove over to Hollywood studios for the rest of the afternoon, we had dinner at the backlot express. This is the first time in 11 trips I have ever eaten here. We got 2 1/3lb angus bacon burgers, and 2 soft drinks to share between the 3 of us. The burgers were good, we realised we hadn't had a plain old Disney burger yet this holiday so that's what we were on the look out for.
We also got a Darth Vader cupcake to share between us. This was a chocolate peanut butter cupcake and was chocolate cake topped with peanut butter cream and covered in chocolate ganache and sprinkles. It was delicious! DH said it was the best cupcake he's had!
Backlot express also does 20% annual pass discount so our total came to $29.95.
We left Hollywood studios and got the boat to the boardwalk, we had a lovely walk around the lake and the sunset was stunning this evening.
After a lap of the lake we called in at ample hills creamery. This is one of my favourite places at Disney. DD was having a nap in her pram so DH and I shared a ooey gooey butter cake sundae. We chose chocolate milk and cookies & chocolate ice cream with caramel sauce which was topped with whipped cream. Unfortunately with the whipped cream it doesn't make for the best photo! This cost $8.49 but it was more than enough to share between two. I love the ooey gooey butter cake, it's so rich and chewy! I always describe it was a cross between shortbread and blondie. I need to find a recipe for it!
We had a game of mini golf at fantastic gardens, the game is included with the 14 day ultimate tickets but DH had to pay as it's not included with an annual pass, he did get 15% discount off regular price and it cost him $12. When we were done we returned to the hotel and tonight's drink of choice was a grape-a-Rita. This is actually really nice, probably my favourite of the a-Rita range I've tried.
New Photo Added by missdopey - 18 Aug 17 4:29 AM.
I must get some a-Rita cans when we're there - they sound lovely. The skillet looks like a whole lot of tasty food.
Another good day and more good food:spin:

Dec. 7, 2005 – For Neftali, coming to the US from Mexico six years ago to be here for his son's birth was a harrowing, four-day journey. Twice he crossed the border illegally with the help of smugglers. First, he swam a river on a cold November morning only to be caught by border agents and sent back. Next, he tried at night, running with other hopeful immigrants across a bridge. At one point, a young woman traveling with his group became so exhausted that Neftali and his friend carried her in order to keep their frantic pace.
"It was seven at night when we arrived at [a] forest," he recounted, "and we were walking, walking, walking all night until seven in the morning without jackets in hellishly cold temperatures." Neftali said he and his companions ate whatever they could find and drank water from irrigation ditches, "because there wasn't anything else." At the end of the ordeal, they paid their smuggler $2,000 each.
Undocumented immigrants like Neftali who risked so much to come to the US are the subject of a raging political debate brought again to the forefront last week by President Bush's most recent immigration reform proposal. But just as Neftali and millions of others made their trek to the United States undetected, their needs go largely unconsidered by policy makers. Instead, business interests, the desires of American consumers and the fears of US citizen-workers dominate the agenda.
While some anti-immigration groups decried the measure as too soft on immigration, undocumented residents and their advocates say the program is more pro-business than pro-immigrant.
Like Neftali, Francisco and José made the arduous journey across the border illegally. They took a desert route that eventually led to higher-paying jobs but cost them years of separation from their parents and other family members.
"There comes a time in life in which one, as a worker, doesn't have another option," Francisco told The NewStandard, explaining that he could no longer make a living as a farmer in Mexico.
When José arrived twelve years ago, he wanted to leave poverty behind and help his parents live better. His father worked in agriculture, but even with José and his nine siblings helping in the fields, the earnings were not enough to sustain his loved ones.
"We were from the lowest [economic] level," José explained. His family lived in a house made of cardboard and sticks and one of José's goals in the US was to earn enough money to build a concrete house for his parents.
These days, José dreams of returning to Mexico and opening his own business. But he wants to wait until his daughter finishes school, in case she decides to stay behind in the US, her native country.
José, Francisco and Neftali are just three of an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States – people whose lives and families may be irrevocably altered by Bush's recently announced immigration reforms.
"America has always been a compassionate nation that values the newcomer and takes great pride in our immigrant heritage," Bush stated in a November 28 speech at the Davis-Montham Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona. "Yet we're also a nation built on the rule of law, and those who enter the country illegally violate the law."
For those undocumented workers already living inside the United States, José believes a temporary work program would be a mixed blessing.
Bush went on to outline what he called a "comprehensive strategy." It includes immediate removal of undocumented immigrants caught within 100 miles of the Southwest border; an expansion of immigration detention facilities; the hiring of 1,000 additional Border Patrol agents; an investment of more than $200 million to upgrade detection technology and build new border barriers; an increase in resources to arrest undocumented workers and punish companies that hire them; and the expansion of an automated system that allows businesses to screen immigrants for work eligibility.
The plan also includes the creation of a program to allow more non-citizens temporary status as "guest workers" and an increase in the number of green cards that can lead to citizenship each year. The president has provided few details about how the guest-worker program would be structured and the White House refused a request from TNS for an interview.
While some anti-immigration groups decried the measure as too soft on immigration, undocumented residents and their advocates say the program is more pro-business than pro-immigrant. They fear the temporary visas would make it easier for employers to hire low-wage workers while leaving in place the systemic barriers that already prevent undocumented employees from pushing for their rights.
"With a program like that, it's only going to tie the hands of the worker," Francisco predicted. "Basically, one arrives forced to work with a sole employer. And if the employer treats someone badly, that person has to put up with it."
Neftali, whose wife and three children legally reside in the United States, lives in constant fear of deportation.
Michele Waslin with the Hispanic advocacy organization National Council of La Raza reflected Francisco's concerns. "We don't want to set up a system that encourages abuses," she said, "so we need to make sure that employers are paying decent wages and abiding by wage and hour laws."
Waslin added: "Immigrant workers have to have the opportunity to organize, to come forward and complain, to lodge a complaint or sue if the contract is not being met. We think that workers should also have the opportunity to stay here permanently if the job becomes permanent."
But in spite of concerns over worker treatment, the opportunity to work in the US legally is tempting to some. Jaime González, an art teacher living in Jalisco, Mexico, said he would consider enrolling in the program. "In six years, you can make a good amount of money," he said. "And then you can return to your country and start something new."
But José worries that it may not be so easy for people who want to participate in the temporary worker program to even enroll if Bush's proposal becomes reality. He believes the guest worker program may only serve people from Mexico's middle class and not those who are most desperate.
"If a poor person goes to request [a temporary work permit], the first thing they will do is ask for many requisites that the poor person will never have," he predicted, based on what US immigration authorities already ask of Mexicans seeking to visit this country legally. "What are they going to ask for? A bank account or any property in case the person doesn't return. They are not going to give anything to the person who doesn't have anything."
For those undocumented workers already living inside the United States, José believes a temporary work program would be a mixed blessing. "When they give us that amnesty, they give us wings with which to fly because right now we can't walk around freely," he said. "On one hand, it would benefit us and on the other hand, it wouldn't because it is temporary work that they are giving us, and we don't know if they are going to renew the visa."
Bush has been careful to stress that his proposal does not include "amnesty" for people living in the US illegally, so it is unclear whether the program would be available to immigrants already residing in the country without papers.
The White House proposal also leaves out a solution for families separated by borders. Family reunification has been a key demand from immigrant rights groups seeking reform.
Neftali, whose wife and three children legally reside in the United States, lives in constant fear of deportation. "I think that it's the only fear I have," he said. "I get up every day and I have it on my mind. It's like my shadow; it's always there." He and his wife now own a car and have just purchased a house, so Neftali considers his family "well established." But, he said, "suppose a massive deportation does occur and they come to take me away? It is a fear that I can't put into words. What would she do? What would she do with the kids?"
Isabel GarcÃa, co-chair of the Arizona-based rights group Derechos Humanos, indicated that Netali's family situation is hardly unique. "I have seen families with US citizens literally deported – deported because the US citizen children move with their [undocumented] parents. You either break up the family or the family has to be deported."
Lucas BenÃtez, staff member with the Florida-based Coalition of Immokalee Workers, pointed to the irony of the Bush immigration policy when compared with the Republican Party's stance on family values. "If the Republicans really think so much about family values, they are contradicting themselves because they are not respecting or carrying out their value of having a united family," he said.
For his part, Neftali comforts himself with the thought that a massive deportation is unlikely. "I don't think that it suits the government and the companies here to get rid of us," he said. "It is something that they have to think about very carefully if they are going to do it because a lot would be lost: a lot of money, a lot of production."
This is why many immigrant advocacy groups think President Bush's workplace enforcement strategy will not be successful in curtailing employment of undocumented immigrants.
"I don't think [businesses] are going to be made frightened by some hard-hitting speeches that the president makes in Arizona because they've been able to get away with this for nearly 20 years and little is likely to change that," said Angela Kelley, deputy director of the National Immigration Forum, which stands up for undocumented immigrants and refugees.
Immigration opponents also found much to criticize about Bush's proposals. Jack Martin, special projects director for the Washington, DC-based Federation for American Immigration Reform, which seeks to stem illegal immigration and limit the amount of legal immigration, said his group found "little new" in Bush's latest proposals "except for a new thin veneer of immigration law enforcement added on."
Martin's group is advocating a mandatory system for employers to verify new workers' legal status. Such a system is available now as a voluntary program, but Martin said the government should require it "so that all employers are competing on an even playing field."
According to a fact sheet provided to The NewStandard by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement in lieu of an interview, the Department of Homeland Security "will implement an employer self-compliance program that will link government and business in a united effort to reduce the employment of unauthorized aliens in specific industries. The partnership will assemble a 'best practices' methodology that employers will use to minimize certain known vulnerabilities in the legally required employment eligibility verification process."
BenÃtez, however, does not feel that these workplace enforcement policies will do much to change the situation. "In the workplace, the thing that interests many employers is how much a person can produce," he said. "And the thing that least interests them is the legal status of that person."
And as workers interviewed for this story noted, the same powerful people who mistreat immigrants also live off their labor. "We put food on the table for this country's people," Francisco said. "I think that is something that the government should take into consideration – and based on that, respect and ensure the rights of each worker that is producing for this country.".
Francisco believes US immigration policy should guarantee all undocumented workers a fair wage and the opportunity to gain legal status – rights that are not included in Bush's current proposal.
"It is very sad that Congress and President Bush himself are making those proposals that do not solve the huge immigration problem," said José Sandoval, coordinator for Voluntarios de la Comunidad, a California-based social justice group.
His organization believes that there are better alternatives to President Bush's proposed policies, such as The Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act that would allow undocumented workers access to legal status.
When it comes to aiding specific groups of undocumented immigrants, Sandoval favors the Development Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act and the Agricultural Jobs, Opportunity, Benefits, and Security (AgJOBS) Act. The DREAM Act would help undocumented youth go on to college and allow these students to obtain legal residency, while the AgJOBS Act would give farm workers temporary legal status and provide them with a way to secure permanent residency.
For Arnoldo GarcÃa of the California-based National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, the solution to problems that many Americans attribute to undocumented immigration lies much deeper than changing US immigration laws. To him, changing US foreign policy toward countries from which migrants flee is key.
"There is no way that border militarization and the federal program in general, or any type of guest-worker program, is going to actually solve the problem," noted GarcÃa. "And what's the problem? The problem is that we are displacing and destabilizing other communities, other countries, and in some cases, some of those people that are displaced end up in international migration."
According to an analysis by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), a progressive think tank, manufacturing wages in Mexico after implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement declined by 20 percent and NAFTA was pushed by business interests and policy makers on both sides of the border but broadly opposed by labor groups.
As of 2004, the Mexican economy was producing jobs at only half the rate needed to sustain the growing pool of available labor. Additionally, the country's agriculture sector has been eviscerated by import-induced price plummets and the retraction of farm subsidies.
"Immigration is never going to stop – never, never," José said. "People will always be immigrating to this country because in Latin American countries, like in other countries, there are poor people looking for a future. We are looking for a future, each one of us."

During my first pregnancy, I spent a lot of time pushing pillows behind my back trying to find comfort. As the size of the baby grew, so did my discomfort.

Do I Have Fallen Arches??
?Life begins at 40,? goes an old quote, ?and so do fallen arches.? It?s time to toss that negative idea out the window and get the real facts on fallen arches and what you can do about them. We have all seen what our footprints look like as we walked across sand or left a water trail after getting out of the bathtub. The narrow part of the footprint is where your natural arch exists. What gives you that arch are tendons that pull together to create an upward curve. When your tendons are not properly pulling together, you start to lose that natural arch. This condition is known as flat foot or fallen arch.
Fallen arches may be caused by a number of causes, including increased elastin during pregnancy, arthritis, injury, excessive stress on the foot, fused bones in the foot, or an extra bone. They may cause not only foot pain, but also pain in the legs, knees, and back and a loss of mobility. The condition is most often treated with orthotics, structures placed in the shoes to support the feet, but this may not be enough for severe cases. Exercises to strengthen and rebuild the arches can also be helpful. Surgery is sometimes the best method of treatment, as it can completely rebuild the arches and has lasting results, but it is quite expensive and considered a last resort.
Depending on the cause of the flatfoot, a patient may experience one or more of the different symptoms below. Pain along the course of the posterior tibial tendon which lies on the inside of the foot and ankle. This can be associated with swelling on the inside of the ankle. Pain that is worse with activity. High intensity or impact activities, such as running, can be very difficult. Some patients can have difficulty walking or even standing for long periods of time. When the foot collapses, the heel bone may shift position and put pressure on the outside ankle bone (fibula). This can cause pain on the outside of the ankle. Arthritis in the heel also causes this same type of pain. Patients with an old injury or arthritis in the middle of the foot can have painful, bony bumps on the top and inside of the foot. These make shoewear very difficult. Occasionally, the bony spurs are so large that they pinch the nerves which can result in numbness and tingling on the top of the foot and into the toes. Diabetics may only notice swelling or a large bump on the bottom of the foot. Because their sensation is affected, people with diabetes may not have any pain. The large bump can cause skin problems and an ulcer (a sore that does not heal) may develop if proper diabetic shoewear is not used.
An examination of the foot is enough for the health care provider to diagnose flat foot. However, the cause must be determined. If an arch develops when the patient stands on his or her toes, the flat foot is called flexible and no treatment or further work-up is necessary. If there is pain associated with the foot or if the arch does not develop with toe-standing, x-rays are necessary. If a tarsal coalition is suspected, a CT scan is often ordered. If a posterior tibial tendon injury is suspected, your health care provider may recommend an MRI.
What causes pes planus?
Non Surgical Treatment
Most patients can be treated without surgery using orthotics, supportive shoes and braces. Because of the progressive nature of PTTD, early treatment is advised. If treated early enough, your symptoms may resolve without the need for surgery and progression of your condition can be arrested. In contrast, untreated PTTD could leave you with an extremely flat foot, painful arthritis in the foot and ankle, and increasing limitations on walking, running, or other activities.
Surgical Treatment
Surgery is typically offered as a last resort in people with significant pain that is resistant to other therapies. The treatment of a rigid flatfoot depends on its cause. Congenital vertical talus. Your doctor may suggest a trial of serial casting. The foot is placed in a cast and the cast is changed frequently to reposition the foot gradually. However, this generally has a low success rate. Most people ultimately need surgery to correct the problem. Tarsal coalition. Treatment depends on your age, extent of bone fusion and severity of symptoms. For milder cases, your doctor may recommend nonsurgical treatment with shoe inserts, wrapping of the foot with supportive straps or temporarily immobilizing the foot in a cast. For more severe cases, surgery is necessary to relieve pain and improve the flexibility of the foot. Lateral subtalar dislocation. The goal is to move the dislocated bone back into place as soon as possible. If there is no open wound, the doctor may push the bone back into proper alignment without making an incision. Anesthesia is usually given before this treatment. Once this is accomplished, a short leg cast must be worn for about four weeks to help stabilize the joint permanently. About 15% to 20% of people with lateral subtalar dislocation must be treated with surgery to reposition the dislocated bone.
It?s time to take a long hard look at what?s in your closet. Now is the time to toss out shoes that are well worn. You also need to say good-bye to thin-soled shoes that offer zero arch support. If you?re overweight, fallen arches may be a sign the universe is trying to tell you something. You need to lose weight, and odds are, fallen arches are but one of many physical discomforts you are experiencing.

Another anniversary, and another struggle to think of something neat to do. I can't do my favorite anime again, and I'm not desperate enough for "Top 10 Side-Boob in Anime" (that's the 13th anniversary). So instead, I'll talk about something I've noticed in my years of anime viewing. And that's those "must see" anime that seem to pop up every year. Now, is this just me naming well known anime for an easy list that's mostly click-bait? You bet it is. Enjoy!
2015: One-Punch Man
There were a lot of great anime that came out in 2015. But I cannot help but name 2015 as the year of One-Punch Man. A lot of fans of the Cinderalla tale that was the Manga were excited/terrified for a One-Punch Man anime. Luckily, the anime was able to capture the high octane action and off beat humor that made the source work a fan favorite. While a lot of great anime came out in 2015, this was the one to beat.
2014: Kill La Kill
I'm kinda cheating, because this was initially released in 2013, but half of it finished in 2014. Plus, the English dub didn't hit the internet till 2014. For those reasons, and the fact that most lists I looked at put this at #1, I'm naming Kill La Kill as the "must see" anime of 2014. The basic story is about a girl seeking revenge for the death of her father. The overall story is an insane mismatch of crazy animation, crazier action, and thematic and plot relevant fan service. Plus, the soundtrack is killer.
2013: Attack on Titan
The Attack on Titan franchise has exploded in a way that I don't think most anime fans quiet expected. It went from manga, to tv show, to 2 movies, a few OVAs, a parody spin-off series, and a second season. The anime sells itself on the "anyone can die"gimmick (even if the important characters don't really die), and the desperate fight for survival. The series has great cultural appeal, good gender portrayal, simple Cosplay, and only a moderately insane protagonist. What's not to like?
2012: Sword Art Online
OK, so out of all the anime on this list, this I debated the most over this one. A lot of critics point to this show as the start of the influx of Light-Novel series starring Mary-Sues and their warrior girl harem. And while these criticisms are valid, its important to look at the good and the bad. And for better or worse, Sword Art Online was the most important anime of 2012. It might have invented the Light-Novel action genre, in fact it totally didn't, but is does stand out as helping populate it.
2011: Madoka Magica
Madoka Magica hit the anime industry in a way only deconstruction stories can. Everyone loves exploring how wholesome genres are probably secretly disturbing. Watchmen did it. Blue Velvet did it. And Evangelion did it. Madoka Magica takes on the magical girl anime genre. And while this occurs a decade after the magical girl genre hit its peak popularity, its still a stellar show.
2010: Angel Beats
Now, I don't need to say any more about how I feel about Angel Beats. Its great. It's heartwarming. Its funny. Now, the show is fairly melodramatic at times, being about dead teenagers living in limbo, but don't let that stop you. At only 12 episodes, you more than get your story bang for your buck.
2009: Steins;Gate
Time Travel! I love time travel. But gimmicks aside, this is a really good anime. It's hands down the best anime of 2009. Its a great mix of goofy humor and heart wrenching drama. Basically, a group of friends accidentally invent a time machine, a lot of bad stuff happens, and then they have to figure out how to un-invent it. Based on a visual novel, this is probably the best video game adaptation you'll ever see.
2008: Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion
So this one is a bit of a cheat, because its started and ended at different years. But I'm counting it, mostly because I was hard to think of shows from 2008. It was a while ago after all. But this is still a highly recommended show, in both English and Japanese. The story is about the rise and fall of Lelouch, as well as how far he is willing to go to change the world. Most often, a "dark hero" like Lelouch is depicted as a supporting character, but in this anime, we get to see his actions and struggles first hand. Filled with twist and turns, this one is definitely a must see.
2007: Gurren Laggan
One cannot talk about Gurren Laggan without getting pumped. 2007 is often considered the peak of anime by many critics (who, mind you, were mostly teenagers at the time, so nostalgia bias may vary). And leading the charge was a high octane, most complex than expected, anime called Gurren Laggan. A spiritual predecesssor to Kill la Kill, this anime is full of stellar animation, references, and action galore. A response to, deconstruction, and reconstruction of the mecha genre, you could do a lot worse than watching Gurren Laggan for a day.
2006: The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
I'm not going to lie, I had a but of difficulty picking an anime from 2006. Anything before 2010, and my anime knowledge tends to fluxuate depending on the year. I almost put Death Note on here. And while that is a popular and important anime in it's own right, it has to play second to the first season of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Like a lot of important anime, this was a game changer. It's nonlinear broadcast order was unique for one, choosing a thematic narrative over a chronological one. It's after credits dance number inspired a thousand internet memes. And it's story was trippy and mundane all at the same time. It's definitely one of the Must-See anime.

Shoot Share :: Cherie Hogan Photography
Most of the questions I get are about posing... and since posing is one of the most important aspects to portrait photography - I thought I would focus on that! Here's just a few tips to make posing easier for you...
When we first got to Calico Basin for this shoot, we had my absolute most favorite light to work with. We had light whispy clouds acting as the most perfect diffuser for sun light. Her skin still had some warmth and her hair was reflecting the golden sun. Love it!
I think this first shot is all about the angle and the composition. Posing is not just about what their body is doing... a really boring pose can become interesting with a different angle, unique lighting etc This picture would not be nearly as interesting if I had taken it eye level with her. Nor would it have been as interesting if she was perfectly vertical in the frame. I feel like its simple things like that, that can turn a boring picture into something awesome. When I shoot seniors (and anybody for that matter) I tell them EXACTLY what I'm wanting them to do to achieve what I'm going for. I let them know what I want them to do with their hands, their head, shoulders, feet, even LIPS. In this photo, I told her to part her lips slightly. I even critique their "serious" face... which brings me to this next image dun dun dun...
I can't decide which way I like it better so you get to see both! In most cases, when you tell someone not to smile, or to give their serious face... they just look mad, or seriously unhappy. So everytime I'm going for "serious" face, I tell them to think of something happy.... (like maybe that knock-knock joke I just told them to get the candid laughs cause I'm so hilarious) or I SHOW them (by doing it myself) how I slightly turn up the corners of my mouth to look less angry. For this pose, you'll notice how asymetical she is. I told her to sit down. Then I placed her chin resting on her hand, her other arm relaxed and actually pulled one of her legs out so she wasn't stiff with both legs together - SO MUCH more natural! One last thing... I told her to FAKE resting on her hand! If she'd really completely relaxed her head resting on her hand, she would have smooshed her skin, pressed in her face... it just wouldn't have been so flattering.
One thing that is super simple that I always have girls do is play with their hair. Since I always want to have hands doing something... I can always fall back on this little trick. Tell her to play with the ends, tuck it behind her ear. I probably also told her to flirt with the camera like it's a cute boy! I know things like that sound silly but not only does it direct them, it also makes them laugh and get comfortable with me.
How about a smiling picture now? Usually I bust out my knock knock jokes. Usually they're really juvenile... and usually, I learned them from the other seniors I photograph. But its the best way to get a genuine smile... when they are genuinely laughing. Makes sense right?? Here's another trick to help you make your poses more interesting. I pretty much never let their head be straight on to the camera, I SHOW them which way to turn it. Down and to the side, up and to the side, just down and look kind of up at me, sideways... whatever! Its awesome because by the end of the shoot, they can work their head like a supermodel. Hopefully this post was helpful for you. If you liked it, stop by my blog and let me know. Maybe I'll do more posts on posing??

Key Appointments At Car Delivery Network Signal New Era
Leading cloud technology specialist Car Delivery Network has announced key appointments in the US and Asia Pacific regions as the business prepares for the next phase of growth and development. Derric Hicks has stepped into the role of General Manager North America following the departure of Greg May and Rob Julian has been appointed General Manager Asia Pacific.
The appointment of Rob Julian as General Manager Asia Pacific reflects the company's investment in the region, which it believes offers huge market potential, and follows the launch of a Joint Venture company Kaqu Delivery Network (KDN) Software Ltd in China earlier this year.
Rob played a pivotal role in putting together the KDN JV and is one of two CDN directors on the board. As General Manager, going forward he will manage the commercial relationships for the company and will be responsible for the successful roll out of ePOD services into the Chinese automotive logistics marketplace, as well as defining future development requirements for the wider region.
He brings vast experience to the company, having spent 25 years in business IT marketing & development, including holding senior positions with Telecom New Zealand, where he was head of strategy for Australasia, director of sales & marketing for The Radio Network and director of Centre for Vision and Leadership.
"Once China is running smoothly, we will be looking at leveraging our services more broadly across Asia, including Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore," Rob comments. "We're already achieving great traction in China and confidently predict strong growth in the first year. The Chinese region is on target to become the second largest region in the CDN prospectus and we expect that it will quickly reach a similar scale to the US."
In the US & Canada, Derric Hicks has taken over from Greg May, who after five years of leading the company in the States, has returned to Jack Cooper Holdings, where he has taken up the role of Chief Administrative Officer.
Greg has presided over the success of CDN in the US since it first launched in the States, where the company now boasts a 20% share of the new car delivery market. He says that while he feels justly proud of such a significant achievement, the time is right for fresh leadership.
"This is an exciting time for the company and there are some great opportunities ahead", he says. "However, my long experience, background and skill set are better aligned to transportation; now that CDN is an established company, with a strong, recognisable brand known for great technology backed by excellent customer service, it's time to hand over to a new management team with skills and knowledge in marketing and technology, to drive forward the next phase of CDN's development."
Derric Hicks was instrumental to introducing CDN to the automotive logistics industry in the US. In 2011, he owned and ran an auto transport business and could see the opportunity offered by CDN's cloud based technology. Along with his father Rod, Derric shared the CDN vision. When Chrysler mandated ePOD in 2014 and the company began to take off, Rod and Derric closed the family auto transport company and Derric transitioned into a full time role with CDN.
Since then, he has been involved with building the customer base and rolling out new CDN technology solutions for the automotive delivery sector; most recently including a dealer portal, which saw over 1200 dealers registered and live on the system within the first year, as well as the introduction of the Award winning eOUTGATE, which facilitates the electronic release of vehicles from Railyards for onward delivery to dealerships. To date, 22 railheads serviced by Class 1 rail companies, Union Pacific, CSX, FEC, BNSF, CN (Canadian National) have already or are in the process of converting to the eOUTGATE solution, with the majority of rail heads expected to move across by the end of 2018.
The next big project for CDN in the US will be the launch of a new cloud based Hours of Service app, FleetConnect, where an Electronic Logging Device (ELD) in the cab captures truck and driver performance, GPS and Hours of Service data, then transmits it back to CDN's cloud servers. It is ready to pilot with CDN customer USAL and soon will be piloted in Canada. Derric's market leadership is a vital component to ensuring the success of the FleetConnect project.
"Although we have developed this new technology to support automotive carriers in the US, it will also be our ticket to expanding into the wider transportation marketplace, as both electronic logging and electronic reporting of hours of service (HOS) will soon be a legal FMCSA requirement," says Derric. "We believe this solution gives CDN a unique opportunity to change the way truck and driver data are used, improving efficiency and saving costs, while complying with the new regulations. These are exciting times and the market potential for CDN is huge."

Special Guests
They came bearing gifts. They arrived at the doldrums of 103-degree afternoon. Claire chatted up a storm with them and generally delighted us all. Georgia entertained us with her talents (amazing eyebrows!) and was so sweet with Claire. It was very special to meet Karen and Georgia, as both of them are close to my heart and have helped me in many ways. Since I seem to be increasingly economical with words (forgive my laziness), I'll let a photo speak for me. We would love to see them again, and I'm certain we will.Journal, Motherhood, Nature, Recreation, Regional

Orange nursing home aces inspection
Last updated 6/6/2012 at Noon
It's not often that one can say they are the best in their field but the employees of Orange Villa Nursing and Rehabilitation can say so.
The nursing home recently received a five star rating from the Department of Aging and Disabilities Services after they were inspected. The rating is the best in the area.
Administrator Dawn Huckins said the nursing home was 100 percent deficiency free. DADS inspects several areas such as life safety, nursing, administration, etc. and they scored 100 in all departments which is very rare, she said.
"I've been in administration for 10 years and I've never seen a building deficiency free. We have a good team with the same vision and goals. The residents are part of our family too," Huckins said.
She explained that DADS does an annual survey of nursing homes. They arrive unannounced, at different shifts, and look at all departments and also conduct interviews with staff and residents.
Though it's not unusual to score 100 in nursing, an overall 100 is almost unheard of. Orange Villa currently had a four start rating with advancing excellence.
"They're (DADS) are thorough and professional. We treat them like visitors in our home. We're very proud," Huckins said.
To celebrate the five star rating, the nursing home is hosting a catered dinner for the staff and a special lunch for the residents on Monday.

Quote of the day
"Can I honestly tell you I spend not a nanosecond listening to what each of them are saying sniping toward each other, so I have no idea what you're talking about. [?]"
-- John Edwards, quoted by CNN, on Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama criticizing each other.
My take on this is either he is lying through his fucking teeth or doesn't deserve the presidency.
This information (what other candidates are saying) is the most important goddamn information he needs right now and he's clueless? What will he do with NIE (National Intelligence Estimate) reports such as "Bin Laden determined to attack inside the U.S."? React like Bush did?
Personally, I go with lying, but either one is equally reprehensible.
Without getting too '08 on your ass, one by one candidates are doing superlative jobs of losing my vote. No, I'm not looking for someone perfect, but someone who knows when to keep their mouths closed or say something intelligent if they find silence impossible.
May I suggest Edwards should have said something like, oh, I don't know, "I don't want to comment on squabbles between other candidates. These will come up. If I'm involved, I'll have something to say."

A Day In Paradise
From an original oil painting. "A Day in Paradise" portrays a lazy river winding through a garden paradise.
Beautiful palm, pine and cypress trees sway in the breeze surrounded by bountiful blooms amid the cool shade of this woodland dream. This bird sanctuary north of Lake Wales, Fl. is a garden to delight with the sounds of a Singing Tower or carillon bells to lull you into contemplation.
Rest on the bank for awhile and forget the world.
Painted in 2003 sold through Park West Gallery in Southfield MI
Bok Tower Gardens
National Historic Landmark
Orlando Florida
The gardens began in 1921 when a Dutch immigrant, Edward W. Bok created a bird sanctuary and a Singing Tower with its Carillon Bells.
