The Need for a Special Needs Trust for Children with Special Needs
All parents worry about their children's future. When you have a child with special needs, however, that worry is often increased ten-fold. For parents with a special needs child, great care has to be given to not only the child's emotional, mental, and physical health, but also to their financial well-being.
In the current age of health care reform, many parents are struggling to understand how the Affordable Care Act ("ACA") will affect their special needs child. Because, for the first time ever beginning in 2014, insurers will not be able to deny coverage for any child based on a pre-existing condition, special needs children will have access to affordable private health care coverage. In addition, in 2014, insurers can no longer institute lifetime limits for most plans. The ACA also requires that insurers offer wellness programs such as child screenings and immunizations; dental and vision will be added to the list by 2014. These changes mean greater options for children who previously could only be covered by Medicaid. For children enrolled in the Children's Health Insurance Program ("CHIP") under Medicaid, the ACA requires states to maintain current eligibility standards and benefits until 2019.
These are welcome changes, but the ACA also has some cons. For people in states that do not elect to expand Medicaid, it is unknown how much health insurance will cost after ACA implementation. In addition, health care Flexible Spending Accounts ("FSAs") are now limited to $2,500 per year, per family. Before the ACA, private employers were free to set their own caps on health care FSAs. Traditionally, parents with special needs children have put a lot of money into their FSAs so that costs uncovered by Medicare or private insurance, such as therapies or equipment, could be paid for through the FSA.
As parents weigh their options for health care coverage for their special needs child, it makes sense to consider another way to protect the child's financial future. A special needs trust can be established for children who are unable to manage finances and who have insufficient assets to pay for medical care or for the necessities of life. This kind of trust is ideal because it can keep a disabled child qualified for Medicare and Social Security Disability ("SSI") benefits. If an adult child with special needs accumulates more than $2,000 in assets, then he or she will cease to be eligible for SSI. Thus, an inheritance given outright to a child at a parent's death may disqualify him or her from receiving necessary governmental assistance. Money placed in a special needs trust, on the other hand, will not disqualify a child from receiving benefits.
A trustee will be in charge of monitoring and dispensing funds from the trust for the child's benefit. A trustee can be an individual or an institution, such as a bank. Funds in the trust can be used for a wide variety of things, such as transportation, education, or rehabilitation - things that often go uncovered by government benefits.
Every child is special. For those with special needs, creating a special needs trust will give you peace of mind and protect your children's finances, no matter the changes that may come and go with health care reform. A special needs trust can serve a child for the rest of his or her life and ensure they are well cared for even after you are gone. If you are a parent and would like to know more about establishing a special needs trust, give the estate planning attorneys at McBrayer a call today.

San Diego, San Jose and Sacramento Are Newest Cities in a 30-City Nationwide Rollout
San Diego, San Jose and Sacramento Are Newest Cities in a 30-City Nationwide Rollout
SAN ANTONIO, TX--(Marketwired - Apr 9, 2014) - Wytec International, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Competitive Companies, Inc. "CCI" (OTCQB: CCOP), today announced the launch of its high-capacity networks in three California cities: San Diego, San Jose and Sacramento.
"We're looking forward to great success with our carrier-grade, gigabit wireless networks in California," said William Gray, CEO of CCI. "Wytec through its wholly owned subsidiary Wylink, utilizes millimeter wave technology to provide high-capacity services which are cost-effective, quick to deploy and substantially faster than what's currently available in the market."
"This gives us a unique competitive advantage when going into any U.S. market," Gray said. "We are very excited to be expanding our footprint into the California corridor."
The company's first high-capacity network, located in Columbus, Ohio, is currently delivering mobile download speeds of more than 125 Mbps to smartphones. By comparison, the fastest nationwide carrier is clocking LTE download speeds of 11.2 Mbps while the national average is 6.5 Mbps, according to a recent report by OpenSignal. Following the success in Ohio, the company recently launched the second network in San Antonio, TX, keeping in step with its aggressive 30-city roll out plan to deliver gigabit Internet services to municipal and enterprise customers alike.
Wytec International is able to deploy "fiber-like" speeds in a fraction of the time because of its unique platform design utilizing millimeter wave technology as its backhaul and its proprietary Access Point (AP) solutions. The network, when fully deployed, provides access to a host of commercial and enterprise broadband and transport services to municipal and mobile operator (carrier) customers alike.
"Most wireless networks in the U.S. are significantly handicapped with a myriad of restrictive issues, but we've gotten ahead of the curve by incorporating the latest radio card technology," said Bob Merola, Chief Technology Officer of Wytec. "What this means for high-end customers such as carriers is that they'll experience mobile broadband speeds never seen before in current wireless networks."
Wytec's proprietary and patent-pending technology is its gigabit AP's capable of serving multiple enterprise customers simultaneously from its "shared platform" network design.
About Competitive Companies, Inc.
Competitive Companies, Inc., founded in 1998, is a Nevada-based corporation with offices in San Antonio, Texas and Eau Claire, Wisconsin. The Company focuses on acquiring, designing and providing next generation wireless broadband technologies and mobile data applications through its subsidiaries Wytec International, Inc., Wylink, Inc. and Capaciti Networks Inc. Wytec and Wylink was founded in 2011 while Capaciti Networks was founded in 2013 and collectively have completed several next-generation Wi-Fi pilot projects in the city of Columbus. In test trials, the Wytec Network delivered record breaking high-speed internet speeds.
Wytec International, Inc. holds five key patents related to high-capacity mobile broadband services and is currently developing its first derivative patent pending technology suited for small cell deployment catering to enterprise users such as municipalities and offload services to carriers.

Hawaii's features and climate zones

Hawaii's beaches
Hawaii's Economy
Hawaii's History
Hawaii's economy is very interesting. In 2001 the 50th State in America cost $43.7 billion to run. The Federal Government gave $10 billion to Hawaii's growing government in 2010, which was spent to expand visitors' resources. Hawaii's government spent more than $5.68 billion on Oahu, (Which was not from the $10 billon that Hawaii got from the Federal Goverment). Hawaii's primary forms of revenue are tourism and agriculture.
Hawaii's History is very exciting. Hawaii was discovered by Captin Cook in 1778. The word Aloha was originally from the Polynesian (Pal-ah-knee-shun) word "Alofa". Hawaii is the only state in the USA that celebrates King Kamehameha day. (Who was the king who made all the islands unite instead of fight.)
Beaches in Hawaii are quite pretty. Hanalei Bay on the island of Kauai is the beach almost everyone imagines when they think of Hawaii beaches. Hanalei Bay is a two mile beach with a stretch of sugar white sand. Blue green salt water is hugged by peaceful rivers. Luxurious waterfall with vibrant flowers and emerald green mountains wrapped in misty clouds is how I would define Hawaii beaches. Hapuna Beach on The Big Island is a half mile long crescent shaped beach which regularly wins Kudos in the World's top travel magazines as the most beautiful beach. (It was also Gillian's grandfather's favorite beach in the world.) Kapalua Beach takes the prize for the best beach on the island of Maui.
Waimea Canyon on Kauai's West side is 10 miles long and more than 3,000 feet deep, and is called the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. One of the tallest mountain in the world is in Hawaii. Its name is Mauna Kea which stands at an astonishing 13,803 feet above sea level! Snow covers the high mountain tops of Mauna Kea (which nickname is white mountain in winter months.) Rainfall on The Big Island : Hawi gets 80 to 120 inches of rainfall, Hilo 200 to 240 inches of rainfall, Captain Cook 60 to 80 inches of rainfall, Kona International Airport in Keahole 30 to 40 inches of rainfall, Honoka'a 80 to 100 inches of rainfall, Waikoloa 30 to 40 inches, Kealakekua is 120 to 160 inches in rainfall, Volcano Village 80 to 120 inches of rainfall, Kawaihae is 0 to 30 inches of rainfall, Kailua-kona is 40 to 60 inches of rainfall, Waimea is 60 to 80 inches of rainfall. The Big Island: Hawi = summer dry climate zone, Kona international airport = dry summer arid climate zone, Volcano village is a constantly wet climate zone, but Hilo is winter dry. Captain cook is winter dry, KealaKekua has a continuous climate zone of being wet. Kailua/ Kona is a winter dry place, Waikoloa is a dry semi arid. Kawaihae is a dry arid, Cuaima is regularly wet. Honokaa is a winter dry climate zone. These are all of the Hawaii climate zones.

Volcanoes are awesome, they blow up. Volcanoes are one of the reasons lots of people go to Hawaii. Who doesn't want to see a giant mountain explode with burning hot liquid everywhere? I know I would. And did you know that theres a Volcano National Park which opened in 1916? If you are wondoring how volcanos made Hawaii - read on. Sometime about 70 million years ago a cataclysmic rupture occurred in the Earth's mantle, deep below the crust. A hot spot of liquid rock blasted though the Pacific plate like a giant cutting torch, forcing magma to the surface off the cost of Russia. The torch cut along the plate, piling up mountains of rock, producing island after island Forming a Volcan
Pearl Harbor is one of the saddest places on earth. The attack of Pearl Harbor occurred on December 7th,1941. A total of 2,335 soldiers were killed in the bombing. The Japanese attacked on a sunday knowing that the army would not be at work so when they did bomb no one was prepared.When the bombing did occur everyone in the Army, Air Force and you name it ran into position. Pearl Harbor declared war on the Japanese the next day. Pearl Harbor has a military base that is still active. Did you know Pearl Harbor was named for the abundance of pearls in its waters?

This is Gillian here, and I have a brother named Geoffrey and a Dad named Kian, and a Mom named Heather. I went to Hawaii when I was a baby and when I was 1. I have a friend and her name is Nina! It has been fun working with her and she is so funny! My grandparents lived in Hawaii for 14 years.
Sea Life Park
Grab a cup of coffee (Because Hawaii is the only state that grows coffee) and head on down to Sea Life Park. Sea Life Park is a marine mammal park, which means you can swim with dolphins and whales or just watch cute penguins and turtles
swim and much more. Did you know Sea life Park uses 300,000 US gallons . That's 240,000,000 pounds of water!!! Furthermore if you are interested in going to Sea Life Park you better not smoke because Sea Life Park has a no smoking policy and also no alcohol. So head on down to Sea Life Park.
This is us "working."
Did you notice the British flag?,
That is because Captin Cook was also British.
This is Waimea Canyon.

While our US HTC Ones are on 4.1.2, their foreign counterparts are receiving updates to 4.2.2 and silently gloating. With improvements throughout the software, it's a much desired update. But this makes the wait even sadder: back in Taiwan, last year's HTC One X+ is getting the update to 4.2.2 right now, with Sense 5 along for the ride.
This new update turns the aging device into a lower end HTC One, complete with BlinkFeed and our favorite feature – video highlights. You'll also get notification toggles, a new camera lock screen widgets and more.
HTC One X Android 4.2.2 update features
- HTC Sense 5 and Android 4.2.2 upgrade
- New HTC BlinkFeed Home
- New lock screen style: electronic gadgets
- Added display the battery meter in the status bar options
- New sleep mode switch
- Quick Settings panel: use two-finger gestures with 12 sliding open the Notifications panel fast setting
- AE / AF lock: Long tap the screen shot on the screen to start the exposure / focus lock function
- Video Highlights living micro film: With 12 kinds of styles of music theme, automatically edited into a stunning 30 seconds video
- Music Channel: You can view the lyrics and music visualization screen * (* support content based on actual lyrics database shall prevail)
- Support more Chinese words
Seeing as the update is ready to go for the device, it should start spreading to other countries fast. It'll probably start with a rollout in Europe and move to the US once AT&T gives it its stamp of approval. We'll keep you up to date on where it goes next.

5.12 Nomination of beneficiaries
Some societies choose to include a section in their share application form that encourages the applicant to nominate one or more beneficiaries of their shares in the event of the nominator's death. This may be seen as a promotional tactic to encourage applicants to think of share capital as a long-term investment for the benefit of future generations.
However, the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014 Sections 37-40 requires societies to maintain a record of members' nominations of who will inherit their property in the society in the event of their death. These nomination rights extend to all forms of property in the society, including loans, deposits and shares. Nomination rights only apply to the first £5,000 of a member's property; any amount above this has to be resolved with reference to the deceased person's probate. Section 40 allows a society to distribute property up to £5,000 amongst such persons as are entitled to receive it, without any nomination under Section 37, or letters of administration or probate. If the beneficiary is already a member of the society, the maximum individual shareholding rule still applies and if it is exceeded any excess should either be paid in cash or converted into a loan.
If you have any questions or suggestions for new information you would like to find in the Handbook, contact the team by email at firstname.lastname@example.com

Therapy administers this principle with unerring elegance;
Offering Manual Lymph Drainage and Complete Decongestive Therapy
Amma Therapy includes the manipulation of the tendon muscle channels with palpation of the acupuncture points for balancing and stimulating the energy of the point for better health. An integrative form of massage therapy, Amma combines Oriental Medical principles focusing on the balance and flow of energy, with a Western approach for assessing organ dysfunction. Like Acupuncture, the focus is on the balance and movement of energy within the body. The AMMA Therapist relies primarily on the sensitivity and strength of the hands to manipulate the life energy. AMMA Therapy techniques include both deep tissue massage that is used in other forms of therapeutic massage, and the stimulation of energy movement that is the basis of Chinese Medicine.
Swedish Massage was developed in the 1700's in Sweden, it has long been thought of as the first organized and systematic method of modern massage therapy in the west. The specific strokes and manipulations of Swedish massage are each conceived as having definite therapeutic benefits. The goal of Swedish massage is to return oxygen and remove and toxins from the extremities. Swedish massage shortens recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissues of lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes. It increases circulation without increasing heart load. It stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping them supple and pliable. Swedish Massage also stimulates the skin and nervous system and soothes the nerves themselves at the same time. It reduces stress, both emotional and physical, and is suggested in a regular program for stress management. It also has many specific medical uses.
Massage focuses on the manipulation of the body's soft tissue
to promote a balanced state of health. Specific strokes such as effleurage,
petrissage, friction and stretching are taught by some of the finest Western
bodywork instructors in the field of complementary medicine.

For the pie crust: In the bowl of a food processor combine the flour, 1 teaspoon of the salt and 1 stick of the butter and process until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. While the motor is running, add water in tablespoon increments until dough comes together to form a ball. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and shape into a flat disk. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or at least for 1 hour.
Remove pie crust from refrigerator and preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Roll out the pie crust on a lightly floured surface to fit a deep 9 or 10-inch pie pan. Place the dough in the pie pan and crimp edges decoratively. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes, then line with aluminum foil. Fill with pie weights and blind bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges. Remove foil and pie weights and return to the oven for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush the surface of pie crust with a light coating of egg white and allow to cool.
For the filling: In a saute pan melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add the ham, or bacon, and cook until browned. Using a slotted spoon, remove the ham from the pan and drain briefly on paper towels, then scatter ham over the bottom of the blind-baked crust. To the fat remaining in the pan, add the sliced onions and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are very soft and lightly caramelized, about 6 minutes. Scatter the onions over the bacon in the pie crust and top with the grated cheese.
In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, remaining 1 teaspoon of salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Pour the egg mixture over the ham, onions, and cheese in the pie shell, adding just enough of the egg mixture to come within 1/4-inch of the top of the shell. Bake on the bottom rack of the oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the custard is set and quiche is golden brown on top. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

A Treasury Department official announced late this afternoon that the Obama administration "will provide an additional year" before certain provisions of the Affordable Care Act go into effect. According to the announcement, the one year postponement effectively will extend to assessments against employers based on failing to offer coverage to their full time employees during 2014.
The Treasury official added that postponing these requirements "will make it impractical to determine which employers owe shared responsibility payments (under section 4980H) for 2014. Accordingly, we are extending this transition relief to the employer shared responsibility payments. These payments will not apply for 2014. Any employer shared responsibility payments will not apply until 2015."
While the announcement itself is not binding on the Treasury Department, it appears that no assessments will be made based on a failure to comply with the employer mandate in any month during 2014.
According to Penny Wofford, a shareholder in the Greenville office of Ogletree Deakins, "The Treasury announcement today provides welcome transition relief for many employers. However, we must wait for formal guidance expected to be published this next week to determine fully the extent of the relief provided and the impact on health care reform preparation plans."
Tom Davis, a shareholder in the Nashville office of Ogletree Deakins and co-leader of the firm's Traditional Labor Relations Practice Group, added another cautionary note. "Employers negotiating collective bargaining agreements that will expire during or after 2015 should pay particular attention to further details regarding this development, especially if they are evaluating proposals to participate in multiemployer health plans. At best, today's announcement only postpones important questions about employer mandate compliance in the context of collectively-bargained plan participation."

The Graduate Record Examination is an exam that students are required to take to gain acceptance to many graduate school programs. As with any standardized test, you can take the exam multiple times. This system serves a few purposes. Generally speaking, students tend to improve their scores after they have taken it one or two times. When this is not the case, students can choose which set of scores to send to their prospective schools. In either situation, students have the opportunity to put their best foot forward when applying.
Review your scores. When you take the test at an computer-based testing center, you can see your past scores and your current unofficial score, other than the essay section, on test day. To see your scores after test day, create an account on the GRE website. This is where you make decisions on which scores to include in your application to graduate school. You will receive your most recent scores by mail, or you can call an automated phone service for a fee.
Order the scores of your choice. On test day, computer-based test-takers can decide to use only their current scores or include past scores as well. The test fees allow you to send these scores to a maximum of four institutions. Those taking the paper exam must make this decision before test day.
Order additional tests if you are applying to more than four schools. Log in to the GRE website, choose between most recent, all or any scores, and send them to the schools of your choice for a fee of $25 per recipient school. You can also order these scores via mail, fax or phone. The GRE site posts the required form to use for mail or fax, or call 609-771-7290 or 888-473-7267 with your credit card ready to order copies.
Test scores expire after five years, so any scores earned longer than five years prior cannot be sent to any schools.

While Jmac hit the streets working doing some surveys, he came across this curvy and busty babe named Tiffany Cane that was just hanging out in front of an apartment in a tight dress. She had some tits that were absolutely incredible and some pretty green eyes. She was a little shy about Jmac being so forward, but Tiffany quickly warmed up to him. Before we knew it, Jmac was sitting next to her and was working his magic to get into those panties. As they kept talking, he kept throwing cash at her.
Tifanny finally warmed up and flashed her pussy to Jmac. He was dying to get in there and pulled out his cock. Tiffany wasted no time sucking his cock. This girl had some serious skills that blew our minds. They finally took the action to a more private location in the middle of the woods of a nearby park and got right down to the hardcore business. Tifanny earned the whole pile of cash, as she worked and rode that cock until Jmac exploded into her mouth and all over her face.

If you truly are what you eat, then here's your chance to be a living, walking cancer combatant, according to experts at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center who have developed a series of food plate worksheets that focus on nutrition and cancer prevention, with a culturally-sensitive twist.
The worksheets, which include cancer-fighting food options, serving size recommendations and a healthy recipe, are designed with three groups in mind, ones that experts say are more likely to develop and/or die from certain types of cancer -- African Americans, Hispanics and Vietnamese.
According to the American Cancer Society, African Americans are more likely to develop and die from cancer than any other racial or ethnic population. And while Hispanics have lower incidence rates for all cancers combined, when compared to whites, they generally have higher rates of cancers associated with infections, such as uterine cervix, liver, gallbladder, and stomach cancers.
Cultural differences aside, MD Anderson's food plates highlight the USDA's MyPlate (an update to the former Food Pyramid that was introduced by First Lady Michelle Obama last year) and the American Institute for Cancer Research's (AICR) food guidelines. All three make the following recommendations:
- Meals should stay within the target calorie range of 500 calories for men and 400 calories for women to help adults maintain a healthy weight.
- Two-thirds of the plate should be filled with vegetables, fruits, whole grains and beans.
- One-third or less of the plate should be filled with animal protein, with no more than 18 ounces of red meat (pork, beef or lamb) per week.
Here's how African Americans can build a cancer-fighting meal. Get an accompanying recipe and worksheets for Hispanic and Vietnamese communities here.

PITTSBURGH, April 6, 2010 – Recent economic hardships have put substantial pressure on Pennsylvania's health care safety net programs, which have experienced significant increases in enrollment, according to a report that was issued online today from the Pennsylvania Medicaid Policy Center (PMPC) at the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health (GSPH).
As of February 2010, 17 percent of Pennsylvania's population, or more than 2 million people, were covered by the Medicaid program known as Medical Assistance, which pays for medical and long-term care for low-income state residents; and 196,220 Pennsylvania children were covered by the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), which currently pays for health coverage of children in families with incomes up to and including 300 percent of the federal poverty level.
"The two programs provide coverage for almost one-fifth of Pennsylvania's population," said PMPC director Judith R. Lave, Ph.D., who also is a professor in the Department of Health Policy and Management at GSPH. "The Medical Assistance costs alone currently account for 16.2 percent of the state general fund and, as the recession continues and the unemployment rate remains high, the demand for coverage through both of these programs will likely stay significantly high."
According to the report, from July 2006 to June 2009, Medical Assistance enrollment rose by 12.1 percent in adults and 9.2 percent among children. In the same time frame, CHIP enrollment rose by 34.7 percent.
The Federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services projected in October 2008 that nationwide Medicaid enrollment would increase at an average annual rate of 1.2 percent for the next 10 years, but that prediction did not factor in the impact of the economic recession that began in December 2007, the researchers said.
"Pennsylvania's rate of enrollment increase for the current state fiscal year is 3.3 percent," Dr. Lave said. "And, as other national analyses have shown, as the unemployment rate ticks up, more people must enroll in these medical assistance programs. Even after a recession ends from a national standpoint, there is a one- to two-year lag before state fiscal conditions recover."
From January 2008 to February 2010, the state's unemployment rate almost doubled, with a corresponding 13.3 percent increase (nearly 253,000 individuals) in enrollment in Medical Assistance.
Monica R. Costlow, J.D., PMPC, and Rachel Garfield, Ph.D., Department of Health Policy and Management, GSPH, co-authored the report, which is available at www.pamedicaid.pitt.edu.
The Pennsylvania Medicaid Policy Center (PMPC) is an independent and non-partisan source of information and analysis about the Commonwealth's Medical Assistance program. It aims to increase understanding of the structure and parameters of the Medicaid program in Pennsylvania as well as its role in the state's health care system. In addition, the PMPC seeks to assess and inform the development of policy options and long-term strategies that would best serve the program's constituents. The PMPC is funded through The Pew Charitable Trusts and other foundations throughout the Commonwealth.
The University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health (GSPH), founded in 1948 and now one of the top-ranked schools of public health in the United States, conducts research on public health and medical care that improves the lives of millions of people around the world. GSPH is a leader in devising new methods to prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases, HIV/AIDS, cancer and other important public health problems.

I'm gonna just jump right in here today. After reviewing company owners for many years I have recently had an epiphany.
Quite simply, the person that runs your company controls your destiny even in the great industry of mlm. It's a fact. O.k., they may not be your "boss", but they are definitely making everyday decisions that can change your life for better or worst.
Years ago, I remember watching the movie, The Wizard of Oz. One part struck me, stayed with me, and now has prompted me to make an analogy of what I am witnessing in an industry I so love. In The Wizard of Oz when the curtain was pulled back from and the wizard was exposed at the controls of the most magnificent city in the world while learning very quickly that he was just a man pushing some buttons. A man pulling the levers, puppeteering, manipulating, and controlling the way people lived their lives and more importantly changed the way people perceived their life. That one person had so much control and power, much like the owners of our own companies.
Now, how many of us really know who the wizard of our company is? Have we done our due diligence and researched the person or people running the business that potentially could make our break us? If we haven't, why not?
In my 22 years of networking, I have seen and worked with THEM ALL. The smooth talking charismatic owner, the hard working yet unknowledgeale, the owner with a whole lot of money but no experience, the business minded owner that thinks he knows marketing when they clearly don't. I know owners that have owned then dissolved many companies over the years leaving many good people financially broke and even a group that have known past criminal records that own companies in this great industry. Lastly a new breed of leaders, I guess I can call them the "show offs" (more on them below). Don't get me wrong…THERE ARE GREAT OWNERS OUT THERE! You just gotta find them and stick with them.
It had hit me hard when I realized we have become a nation of "follow the leader" regardless of the direction we are being taken. Not good. Networkers are proud of their ability to "think out side of the box" and NOT "follow the pack".
I recently watched a video where the owner of a rather successful mlm company (at this moment) is actually touting and proud of their dark pasts. Openly admitting to their past gang affiliations on live national TV, laughing about the industry and the dealers as a whole (on stage) in front of hundreds of other mlm owners while still collecting their money and taking it to the bank. This owner has even touted his self taught "buy low, sell high" belief system. That's gotta give you the "warm and fuzzies". Their top money earner laughs at the law by making the comment "you shouldn't text and drive since it is breaking the law" which he did throughout the entire video. These leaders are so arrogant and cocky, it sadly hurts an industry that fights daily to prove we are a viable, legitimate business.
As an industry leader, HECK…as a human being that believes in respect, ethics and dignity, I think it's my moral obligation to keep my friends and family as far away from this sect of people as possible. Heck, you can sell drugs and make a lot of money fast, but it doesn't mean I'm gonna introduce Aunt Sally to the local drug dealer.
This great industry we are all a part of, IS A BUSINESS. This is not a get rich scheme or community for our loved ones to lose their money.
First rule of thumb when searching out your business, find out who the owners and management team are. What is their track record? What are their "pitfalls"? They all have them, it's your job to weigh them against one another. Is the wizard behind the curtain the right one for you and your family? Are you introducing your new distributors to a solid and ethical team that knows what you need and will stop at nothing short to help you succeed? Or, are these wizards only out to line their pockets with our hard earned money?
I'm only writing this blog because I was "sucked in" by that video (mentioned before) depicting the great lifestyle, and success of one of these arrogant, self loathing, know it all's. Sure his car was nice, so was his house, his dog was really cute and his "pitch" was not bad, but once I really understood the culture, I knew this was a direction many would follow for a short time until they pulled back the curtain and exposed who their wizard really was.
Making business decisions are hard. I have been bankrupt twice in my life and I'm certainly not proud of that. I have also owned and operated over a dozen corporations over my lifetime. Some failed, some succeeded but all were learning experiences and have brought me to where I am today. I have learned running a conventional business is hard, but a successful mlm company is even harder and statistics prove it.
The decision you make for the company you choose should only be based on logic, past experience, who's involved, and timing. Do not get fooled by the glitz and glamor. Any business that is solid and has the likelihood of beating the 95% failure rate for mlm companies is worth taking a few weeks to investigate. Again, start from the top and understand that the wizard will guide you down the only path they know and their culture will soon be yours. Can you live with that?
Great products and great compensation plans will come and go. Sadly, many great companies in our industry will do the same. The part you need to worry about, which may always haunt you, is being labeled a leader that chose the wrong companies which could affect you for years to come.
Be wise, do your due diligence and seek out the experts to help you make the right decision. Life is short…it's o.k. to fall down (many times in my case) but the real leader gets back up and charges forward only to count his past mistakes as learning experiences.
~ Eric Caprarese

Of all the cranial nerve disorders of the facial nerve damage is a leader.The development of the disease causes paralysis of the muscles of half the face, resulting in the patient experiences severe trauma is not only physical but also psychological.The consequence of such a state can be neuroparalytic keratitis, which often leads to total blindness.The reasons that most often affects the nerves front: removal of tumors in the facial area, operations on the organs of hearing, brain injury and skull, accompanied by bone fractures, wounds of the neck, as well as the development of inflammatory processes such as neuritis.
Symptoms of facial nerve
disease manifests itself by the following features:
- atrophy of facial muscles half of the face with the possibility of paralysis;
- severe muscle asymmetry even at rest;
- smoothed wrinkles on the affected side;
- disturbance of swallowing and chewing;
- the lack of movement of the lower eyelid;
- violation of tearing.
Types of facial neuritis
If facial nerve is affected for the first time - this often indicates a result of colds.If a strong supercooling occurs tissue swelling and spasms of blood vessels, which leads to disruption of the nerve supply and severe pathological changes such as stroke.Secondary neuritis as a result of intoxication, infectious diseases, encephalitis, inflammatory and neoplastic processes, hypertensive crises, as well as mumps and otitis.
How to treat facial nerve
partially impaired nerve conduction needs to conservative treatment, which should only appoint a doctor specializing in pathological changes in the peripheral nerves.The range of key actions which the nerve is exposed face include corticosteroid injections, electrical muscle stimulation, physical therapy, massage, as well as vitamins and drugs that improve the microcirculation.In some cases, the patient is assigned to acupuncture, but such a procedure facilitates early contraction of facial muscles.It should be noted that the most relevant diagnostic methods allow to investigate facial nerve, to date, are MRI and EMG.If the patient is total disruption of nerve conduction over several months, surgery is performed, the appropriateness of which is determined by the physician based on the individual patient's health status indicators.
Types of operations on facial nerve
surgeon can determine whether one of the following:
- nerve decompression in the fallopian canal;
- seam autoplasty neurolysis and nerve;
- reinnervation held if it is impossible to restore the integrity of the barrel;
- plastic surgery, corrective cosmetic defect.
In any case, no matter what treatment is used, in order to achieve a lasting effect, it should come to this issue with all seriousness and competent post-operative rehabilitation will allow for a long time to maintain your health and attractiveness.

Will the New York Giants sign Victor Cruz to a long-term extension?
If you're the co-owner of the Giants, the answer is pretty positive.
"It will get done at some point," John Mara told ESPNNewYork.com Monday. "Just be patient."
Mara declined to comment further.
The two sides have been unable to come to a long-term agreement since the ending of last season. Cruz could sign a one-year, $2.80 million dollar contract to work things out with the Giants next season or sit out mandatory training camps to push for a deal now.
Cruz is currently not commenting on his contract situation.
But speculation from everyone, including his teammates, is Cruz will be a Giant next season and for years afterward.
"I have a feeling I will see Victor here when the contract is done," Giants quarterback Eli Manning said last week to ESPNNewYork.com. "That is my gut feeling. I could be wrong. If he is back earlier, then that will be a bonus."
If true, it would be good news for Cruz and Giants fans, who last week heard a more pessimistic tone from general manager Jerry Reese.
"I don't assume anything," Reese said. "When we get ready to play, we'll have good player. I don't know if Victor will be on the team or not. If Victor's not here, we'll have other receivers. One player doesn't make your team."
Cruz caught 86 passes for 1,092 yards and 10 touchdowns last season.
Reese sounded more annoyed than ominous while addressing his wide receiver's contract status during his annual pre-draft press conference.
The Giants reportedly have a long-term offer on the table for approximately $7 million per year, but Cruz is said to be looking more in the $10 million range. If the Giants allow him to leave, they will get a first-round draft choice as compensation.
Cruz was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2010. The salsa-dancing University of Massachusetts player has 168 receptions for 2,628 yards and 19 touchdowns. He made the 2012 Pro Bowl and is considered one of the league's best slot receivers.

Good afternoon!
A three-headed Lady Gaga is on the cover of V Magazine's Asian Summer Issue. The periodical features Gaga's extensive photo spread, Gaga's interview with Elton John and her first column for the fashion magazine. Check out Gaga's memo (via Gawker), in which she discusses her creative process and the evolution of pop-culture.
If you're a Kate Bush fan take a listen to her Director's Cut album (now streaming on NPR), comprised of a collection of 11 revamped songs from her albums The Sensual World and The Red Shoes. Bush re-recorded all of her vocals and the drums, but left most of the original instrumentation.
While voting for the AfterEllen.com Hot 100, I somehow forgot to add the lovely and hot Kate Winslet. What is wrong with me? The award-winning actress is now the face (and body) of St. John Knits (I'm the face of St. John's Wort).
This is Winslet's first ad for St. John Knits and the always-humble actress discussed the photo shoot, which took place in a New Jersey movie theater. Winslet said, "They want to keep it looking like me and not have it look like me pretending to be a model wearing these clothes. I'm obviously not a model. I'm not the size of a model. I don't have the face of a model or the shape of a model." Personally, I would choose Winslet's figure over a model's figure any day.
Olivia Wilde and the cast of House have joined the "It Gets Better Campaign." They speak out against bullying in the video below.

This year's films include; George's Intervention from JT Seaton, Cupcake from Rebecca Thomson, metsastysmaa from Nalle Mielonen and Bite Marks from Mark Bessenger.
The upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides will be released in Imax, 3D and in … Lego form? For some reason Disney decided to remake the film's trailer with Legos and I must admit the plastic Penelope Cruz is quite sexy.
Musician Vanessa Carlton has just announced her upcoming summer tour dates. If you want to watch the bisexual pianist tickle the ivories, check out her tour schedule and see if she's playing in a town near you.
