Friends, Romans, Gentlemen, Fellow seekers of knowledge,
My name is JerryJeff, JJ for short. I'm 23, tech worker, and as you might expect, don't have a lot of oppourtunity to meet people in general, and women in particular. I am a fairly geeky guy which has never hurt my dating options especially but I have found in the last few years that i've really started to be reclusive, and not only that, the last few relationships I went through ended up with me losing the confidence which I used to have. Finding this forum has been a bit of a revelation and after a bit of lurking, i sent an off hand e-mail to Nick, not expecting any response. I received a message back in less than an hour. That kind of dedication to this site really impressed me and inspired me to create this post.
Right now I feel like I am still suffering from a lot of self-confidence issues, and on top of that, after reading the "Nice guy" post, I really found myself identifying with a lot of the behaviours. I am planning to go out tomorrow night (new years eve's and make an effort to have a good time and be outgoing.
Wish me luck lads!
Hey JJXIII,
Glad to hear that you will be taking action on improving your dating and social skills.
I want to remind you that what you want to be building is a lifestyle. Know that for now on you will be building a new way of living life. You will be doing this in your pace without comparing yourself with other people. Mainly what you will be doing now is replacing old habits with new and more desirable habits.
Remember, we are not trying to create a "temporary cure " where you will be social and outgoing for a short period and then become reclusive and stay like that. I stress to go through this new journey in your own healthy pace so you don't give up.
Now, where to start? Glad to hear that you have contacted Nick. Now where you really want to start is with your mindset. How do you really view yourself, what deep thoughts do you have about yourself, beliefs about you and women, and beliefs about how people in general view you?
Are they positive or negative?
You want to make sure they are positive of course.
You make sure this happens by writing down how the best version of you would be. What would the best version of you be like? Write down at least 15 qualities that the best version of you would have and write them in the present tense.
(The reason why is because your thoughts influence your actions. People can see how you view yourself by looking at your actions.You won't fool people that you are confident for too long if you are not. Same with other qualities)
Example: Let's say you want to be more confident in general. You would write down "I am confident in all situations." You would repeat this affirmation twice a day to yourself. (out loud not in your mind) Do this for at least 15 qualities that you wish to have.
With weeks and months that go by (cause it won't happen over night) you will automatically see yourself acting differently. You will be becoming the man that you say you are in your affirmations.
This is so easy and very powerful but not everybody knows this. Go to most dating coaches and they would recommend you to do this or something along the lines of this.
It's great that you are getting advice from Nick. You can also get more of my advice by going to my website on my profile. You will get a free ebook that will skyrocket your self-confidence with women.
Hey there,
Thanks for some exercises to work on self-affirmation, its been something I've been exploring a bit and I will definitely put that into practice. As for new years, things went really well, I actually ended up getting a girl's phone number and also managed to reconnect with people I went to high school. Was a fantastic night and I feel very good at how I dealt with the night. I am going to start going out at least once a week to some sort of social occasion, whether its a bar night or to the board games bar in my city. Confidence is definitely higher, now just working on planning out my life a little more so I prioritize social interaction.
Your response is great. Glad to hear that you got a phone number. From what your telling me I can say that your on the road to success!
Hey so, its been a bit but I think an update is in order. While it didn't pan out with the girl I met on New Years, the nice experience really inspired me to get out there. I started a dating profile on OKcupid, and I met a really nice girl named Jeneca, we went on a few dates and now we are actually boyfriend and girlfriend. The biggest success however is the fact that while I really like this girl a lot I don't feel that I desperately need to prove myself to her or that I need her approval to be worthy of affection. I've broken through that mental barrier that kept me locked away in self-created isolation. Even if this ends i'll be sad, but i'll be fine, I'll move on and find someone new. It might be just that I started reading this site at the right time to really absorb the messages but honestly I've felt like a new person since I posted last. I will continue to work on myself and really move into being the best version of myself that I can be. Thanks to Nick for creating this place and I'll be sending my other friends here who suffer the same issues as I did.
You mention: "While I really like this girl a lot I don't feel that I desperately need to prove myself to her or that I need her approval to be worthy of affection"
Bravo on this way of thinking. Your thinking like a real champ!
I can see great success ahead of you if you stay committed to what your saying right now.

I am in agreement with this article's premise that an investigation devolving into a standard partisan battle will end with the normal non-results. However I am greatly disturbed that the official line coming from Trump's camp is:
"These are the same people that said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction…The election ended a long time ago in one of the biggest Electoral College victories in history. It's now time to move on and 'Make America Great Again."
While the CIA had its issues with a lack of quality intelligence on Iraq the revelations last year finally bore out how Cheney, Rumsfeld, et al., edited their reports to support their hawkish agenda. Now a President Trump will be relying on the same CIA they have just put down for foreign intelligence in the future. They are no longer in a political campaign and taking pot shots at our own country's top foreign intelligence organization to defend the purported actions of potentially foreign enemy agents is ludicrous.
Also along that same thought the spin doctors should quit adding the hype at this point. Percentage wise "…one of the biggest Electoral College victories…" actually ranks 46th in previous Presidential elections. Presidents have used hype before but it is unseemly for obvious exaggerations of this proportion to come from them or their people. The election is over. With this I agree. Quit the campaigning and marketing of the brand and get on to governing.Log in to Reply

I know he (Trump) wasnt your guy but I find it hard to believe that you are really okay with the presidency being reduced to puppetry. Doesnt that rub you completely the wrong way?
It's one thing when we find this out after the fact (ala Reagan or GWB) but knowing this upfront and being not just okay but happy about it is kind of appalling to me.
The Eiger
Who said I was happy he won? Of course it doesn't make me happy to think that the presidency is being reduced to puppetry. But as a student of history I know that there have been many times in our history where presidents were painted as dumb or not capable of the job. Of course it pisses me off that I know he will have another "grab her by the you know what' moment soon (probably before he's sworn in).
He is the leader of my team and our country now. So it is what it is. I'm also okay with the people he is nominating. He's not screwing the pooch as bad as I thought he would. I particularity like the people that he is appointing that are making the liberals foaming at the mouth crazy. Basically everyone. And most people here know I'm a fan of Tom Price so that makes me dislike slightly less.
Basically, it's time to get on board or shut the hell up. I've decide to get on board and start pissing off liberals. Call me what you will.
Lea Thrace
Whoa. I didnt say you were happy. I was just surprised by your ability to be on Team Trump given your views pre election. But you have laid out how you are able to rationalize it so no big deal. I just was looking for insight into how you are dealing with it.
I do have an issue with anyone's political goals/aspirations being "pissing off liberals" (or pissing off conservatives if thats your preferred bent). That automatically makes what should be a collaborative effort (running a government) adversarial. But meh. If that's your thing, go for it.
The Eiger
I know how politics works. Get on board and try to get things done (aka piss liberals off) or shut the hell up. That's pretty much how it works. The democrats really had a "collaborative effort" when they forced Obamacare care through. And I hope republicans use the same collaborative effort when they repeal and replace it with something that will work. What goes around comes around. Especially in politics.
I still don't like the guy and would have picked 16 other people before him. But I'm fine having Pence as the most conservative president this country has ever had. I left "Vice" out on purpose.
David C
Pissing off liberals and getting things done are frequently, almost exclusively, at cross purposes. And if Republicans had been less focused on 'pissing off liberals' and provided bipartisan cover, you might never have had Obamacare at all because that was what plenty of the Senate Dem Caucus was interested in for all of 2009, and the full 60 only got on board when it was clear that wasn't going to happen. If the GOP had given them anything to grab on to, Baucus, Nelson, Lieberman and co. would have jumped ship.
The Eiger
Sure. Everything is bipartisan with you guys when you have just lost everything. Take a breather on the sidelines for a while. We will take care of things and piss you off in the process. 🙂
I like this "new" Eiger! Damnnnn….Bart and I don't have to do ALL the heavy lifting any more!!
The Eiger
This isn't a new me. This is who I've always been. You just misunderstood my hatred for trump during the campaign as a dislike of republicans in general. I'm a very conservative person and simply hated trump because I thought he was ruining our chances of winning.
Andrew C. Pope
Will, can you really be that surprised by the response from Trump Tower? He's coming into office with the highest unfavorables of any President-Elect in modern history. He just won an election in which he lost the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes. This is an administration with a very weak mandate (if it even has one in the first place). A Congressional investigation into Russian influence does not have a "good outcome" for the Trump Administration.
If the CIA, NSA, etc. were right and there was Russian meddling in our election, then Trump loses whatever post-election mandate he has. If there is evidence that the Trump campaign or individuals close to Trump coordinated with Russia, then he loses all legitimacy as President of the United States. Even if the investigation yields no finding of wrongdoing, the process of investigating the issue, the leaks that will flow from that investigation, and the drip-drip-drip of news coverage on the issue probably erodes and undercuts his political capital (for a perfect example, take a look at what the 6,000 separate Benghazi committees did to Hillary Clinton).
In short, it makes sense for Trumpworld to try and gaslight folks on this issue in a hope to avoid any further investigation of Russia's possible interference in the election. This is an absolute no-win situation for them. I sincerely hope that Congress recognizes the severity of the issue and devotes itself to investigating the matter. I'm hopeful they will, but I'm not holding my breath.Log in to Reply
Carousel of contestants continues for SOS. Now we have Rex Tillerson as leading contender? Certainly would be an interesting pick.
Others have serious flaws. Petraeus has legal and ethical problems, Romney has credibility issues, Giuliani too many foreign business contacts, Newtie maybe does not want it or something and Bolton perhaps is too strident.Log in to Reply
Will Durant
I find that a Tillerson appointment as our top statesman has some serious flaws as well. Primarily with perception. We already have accusations if not pure facts that big oil has dictated much of our foreign policy in the past. Deposing a democratically elected leader in Iran to put a monarch/dictator with the Shah on behalf of big oil started that ball rolling way back when. Our coddling of the Saudis through the years regardless of their back channel terrorism support has continued that tradition. Even to the point of fighting wars on their behalf. Now we go with a guy whose only real political statesmanship has been representing Exxon's interests in Russia. This is not encouraging.Log in to Reply
Tillerson's ties to Russia would make for a close confirmation vote but ultimately he would be confirmed. Another one under consideration is James Stavridis but he might be too close to Hilly. Maybe best to say that all are flawed.Log in to Reply
David C
Stephen Hadley or Corker would get confirmed 95-0.
Tillerson has both a committee problem and a full Senate problem. Foreign Relations Committee is 10-9: Lose a Republican there and he's done in committee, and Paul, Flake, and Rubio could be wild cards on varying degrees. (Dems are all solid blue staters, so none of them would flip. Lose that vote, and the nomination is probably over.
If they push forward anyway, they can only stomach 3 GOP defections if the Dems don't bite. McCain + Graham + one other GOP, and it fails. With the stench of Putin all over the Administration and the stench of Putin all over him, doubling down on Tillerson is plain stupid unless they can unflip the hawk caucus against it.Log in to Reply
Committee recommendation is not binding on the senate. If it's a 50/50 tie in the full senate Pence is the tiebreaker.
David C
True, but no nominee who failed in committee has won Senate approval since 1945. And that's why I said they need McCain + Graham + one more. 48 Dems + 3 Rs = 51 And if he failed in committee and they went forward anyway, well there's your extra R to go with McCain/Graham.
If he has a solid performance in the hearings and shows good knowledge on foreign policy he gets the job.

I enjoyed reading the Polticio piece yesterday. However the Ivory tower author overlooked other writers and poets of the Russian Neoclassical era which were inspired by both the French and American revolutions, all of which influence mid 19th century eastern Europe. It also failed to mention the effect of the Prussian and Crimea wars and the political and finical havoc it had on minor Russian duchies. This made Chernyshevsky's poorly thought out novel an idealistic escape for the minor aristocrats and their 4th and 5th sons which formed the base of the socialist movement of the era.Log in to Reply

I agree, Lithium would work great here. The question is how do we make sure Trump has his daily dose. (sarc)
Lithium is used mostly to treat bipolar disorder and in conjunction with antidepressants (to increase their efficacy) to treat major depression disorder.
If someone is upset about Trump being president I'd recommend a stiff drink (if you're not an alcoholic) or a joint.

Let's see…Jill-ary Stein's recount efforts flopped! "OMG" shriek Hilly supporters, "What can we do now…?" Say the Russians delivered the election to Trump?!?!?! Yeahhhhhh….
So, to summarize, Podesta's emails were leaked by Wikileaks and show embarrassing content that has not been denied. Media in the tank for Hilly. Confirmed what everyone always suspected. Everything that could be done to stop him was tried. And failed miserably. Can you say "Electoral College blowout"?
Ok, so the Russians supposedly hacked Podesta but not Hilly's server? Yeah, that's believable.
The Libs will do anything, anything to de-legitimize Trump, anything but admit they had a sh*tty, unpopular candidate in anyplace other than NY and CA and whose arrogance, condescension and elitism got her ass kicked.
Her defeat was likely caused by the culmination and literal disgust of four recent socialist phrases:
1. "Trump's supporters are a basket of deplorables."
2. "blah, blah, blah…..cling to their God and guns." (Bitter Klingers!!) Pardon me Jaime Farr…
3. "You didn't build that…"
4. "We need to spread (the fruit of your effort, Joe the Plumber) the wealth around…"
So, either realize this and get back on your horse or be prepared to lose more senate seats than God in 2018.
Hillary's server was at least more secure than the OPM server. or several Sec'y of State servers…Log in to Reply

Apocalypse Now (1979)
558 mistakes
Directed by: Francis Ford Coppola
Starring: Frederic Forrest, Marlon Brando, Martin Sheen, Robert Duvall
Revealing mistake: In the major helicopter scene when Ride of the Valkyries is played, the actual tape isn't going over the playing heads.
Continuity mistake: In the playboy bunny scene, the helicopter's main rotor keeps on starting and stopping.
Audio problem: As Playmate of the Year Carrie Foster is brought out to the audience carried by two Green Berets watch the band behind her closely. The bass player stops playing as he scratches his head but the bass on the soundtrack keeps going.
Continuity mistake: After the helicopter attack when the chopper drops the patrol boat into the water, you can see the canopy and the radar type antenna break and collapse. When you see it again it's in perfect condition.
Continuity mistake: As they pull up next to the Vietnamese sampan Clean runs to the port side of the boat in order to catch the tow rope. Chef is standing behind Captain Willard in middle of the boat and doesn't move and all. In the next shot Clean and Chef are both standing on the edge of the port side of the boat.
Visible crew/equipment: As the boat crew steps ashore to find Kilgore, the obvious shadows of two crew and their equipment are seen moving across the backs of the soldiers and then the raised netting slightly further away.
Continuity mistake: As they watch Lieutenant Col. Kilgore's helicopter battle from their boat the captain says "It was the air-cav. 1st of the 9th" and Clean appears in the middle of the boat under the flag between shots.
Continuity mistake: As Chef grabs the black wig it's clear to see that the window on the helicopter door has a strain crack going down the middle of it. It's there for two shots then when Clean hammers on the helicopter door the first time it's not broken. After he climbs up onto the helicopter and bangs on the front windshield he comes back to the side window a second time and it's cracked again.
Continuity mistake: Right after the helicopter pilot says, "my tail rotors out, I've got control" they blow up the entire Vin Din Dop bridge ending with the side closest to the beach. In the next shot they blow up the same side of the bridge again closest to the beach.
Continuity mistake: After the soldiers crash the stage Miss May Goes from having no one around her to having a bunch of soldiers surrounding her between shots.
Visible crew/equipment: At dinner as Harrison Ford says, "Now he's crossed into Cambodia " you can see the cameraman's reflection moving in the background to the left of his head.
Continuity mistake: Captain Willard and Lance run away from Lieutenant Col. Kilgore and the captain says, "get the f&% outta here". As this happens a helicopter is flying towards the colonel and two soldiers are helping an injured soldier. The camera cuts away for three seconds then back to a wide shot of the colonel again and the helicopter and the injured soldier have disappeared.
Continuity mistake: The three adjoining huts on the beach with the communist flags in front of them explode twice at different times in the scene. Then they appear again undamaged in another overhead shot of the beach as a helicopter pilot says, "We're taking fire from the holes".
Continuity mistake: Inside the helicopter Chef poses Miss May with the black wig and says, "that's it, voila". The white bird sitting on his shoulder disappears between shots.
Continuity mistake: Back on the boat after the tiger attack, Chef freaks out and yells, "Yes I've had it" and the surfboard behind Chief Phillips' head moves about a foot to the left between shots as he says, "Tiger?"
Continuity mistake: When the captain realizes that Chef's head is in his lap he moves around violently trying to get it away from him. We can see that both his legs are tied up with wire but in the next close-up of Chef's head on the ground the captain's foot is freely moving around.
Continuity mistake: Before he talks to the sergeant about fuel for the boat Captain Willard looks out at the stage were the USO show is going to be held and it's not raining as it was in the previous shot of him walking on the dock.

Clearer Conscience is a Cape Town based service that has grown out of pure need - a need to do something today, not tomorrow, to help the planet into the next millennium. Being localised in our areas has allowed us to develop an easily accessible way to recycle waste at very affordable prices.
The service is monitored constantly to ensure that the materials we collect do in fact go to the correct places for recycling.
When we first started recycling in our own home, we knew so little, and ended up with bags and bags of materials that we honestly did not know where to put or where to send. We realised that, scattered all over the city, were people just like us: those who wanted to make a difference but just did not know how given they had so little free time to themselves already.

This blog is always so encouraging and creative. Thanks for all your hard work! This was refreshing. Interesting note about #6: It was one of the most "real" church moments for me when I was at Church of The Highlands Grow conference a couple years ago. The entire conference is about being able to see how they do church so that you can see if there's a better way to implement your church vision. Anyway, mid-service, a projector bulb blew! It was probably so stressful for them, but it was so realistic and just let me see: something always goes wrong. Our service is to be faithful, not perfect.
Great list Josh. I can relate to number 7 The power of God is not limited by your budget. Thanks for the reminder
Chris : April 16, 2014 at 10:58 am
Great post! It's something that needs to be remembered, at least in my life, every week. I know Easter is usually far busier and more hectic than most weeks, but this is a great list to keep in mind week in and week out in the lives of those serving on staff with a church.
Thanks for sharing!

Our prices are only part of the experience. You are joining a premier club with over 20 years' experience. We know how to get beginners started and will help you every step of the way. There is nothing intimidating about starting at Phoenix and regular people turn into champions every day at Phoenix. Our membership packages are unique because we are Canberra's most unique Gym. We are not part of the fitness industry, a chain or franchise, we are a home-grown club that is based on a participation in sports that are great for fitness and fun. Phoenix builds connections and is dedicated to delivering the highest quality training and experience to our members.
Phoenix is an experienced club with a pricing system based on how often you train not on what you do. All programs are included in your membership and you can even have an unlimited membership that allows you to do all programs as much as you want. Phoenix has excellent value memberships that include more than just classes and own training; they include benefits such as, expert coaching at every step, world class facilities, 24hr access on approval, a proven developmental training system that gets results, membership at one of Australia's premier combat sporting clubs.
All memberships are based how often you train not on what you do. They include morning classes, fitness classes and any class from our martial art programs. Being a member of Phoenix means you can do any of our programs. We have many membership options to suit your time and budget. Most people choose a PHOENIX membership but some want more, so they go for the ULTIMATE membership package. Memberships are sold in packages and include a variety of inclusions for you to get the most out of your Phoenix experience. Packages are for an initial period of 6 months and you can elect to pay by either direct debit or pay in advance. We have a 'pay as you go' direct debit option as well as a 10-visit pass however these packages are not going to give you the full benefits or results you desire and are designed for experienced students who have already progressed their fitness and skill or are for interstate and are not in the ACT on a regular basis.
Why 6 month packages? 6 month packages are better for you and allow you to achieve the results you want. We are a club with over 20 years' experience and we keep people training and loving what we do. Our members are proud of what they learn, who they become, their fitness levels and the challenges they overcome. When you start something new, you need to get off to a good start and what we do doesn't achieve your goals or work if you don't train regularly and build the routine, discipline and base required for it to work. It takes at least 6 months to transition your previous Phoenix life into a new training routine, develop new skills and form the habits required for success. At the end of 6 months, your membership package automatically transitions to a 'pay as you go' for direct debit members but stays at the lower package rate. For Pay in advance people, you just need to renew you package.
We don't scam you with a Joining Fee, we don't have one and never have. At the end of your initial package, you can cancel your membership at anytime for free. Via the net it takes 30 days to process and you can keep training up until the day it stops or you can cancel at the gym and it only takes 5 days to process. If you must cancel during the initial membership package, there is a cancellation fee.
When we say unlimited classes – we have 55 adult instructional developmental classes per week to choose from. Our Muaythai program and kid's programs have over double the classes and options than any other club. All our classes are organised, professional and disciplined with group training in an instructional format what we are excellent at.
Do your research and you will come back to Phoenix 100% of the time. Be careful of other people's claims and check it out for yourself. We put everything on the net, you can watch a class, see the training, and visit to see what we do. Our prices offer access to any of our world class programs and we have no other hidden extra costs to train. We have over 75 classes a week are a one stop shop for Fitness, Martial Arts, and Combat Sports. We are not price driven because we believe what we offer is high quality coaching, world class facilities, structured and organised programs and are customer focused in such away that comparing us to fitness gyms, or martial art clubs, that operate in school halls, university campuses, inside other gyms or are just one style at your community center, fails to measure the true value and professionalism.
People travel from all over Canberra and NSW to train at Phoenix because of the quality of the club and what we must offer. Phoenix is unique to Canberra and our members who have trained in places all around the world always return, happy and satisfied, they have Phoenix in their home town. Phoenix is a club people move states and suburbs to live closer to. All our coaches are world class and experienced in the real world.
When you join, we coach you, lead you and are specialists at getting beginners going and up to high level fast. You can train at Phoenix and go anywhere in the world and people will compliment you on your skills and fitness. We are not soft and encourage you to work hard and earn every step but life changing training has to come with effort or there is no reward.
Don't let these amazing facts intimidate you; our best skill is getting people started. We have amazing prices because we love to promote what we do and get people started so we have to be affordable because Phoenix people are not gym members, they are family and we are a part of their lives for many years.

Invisalign Teen
Comfortable, practical and better still – invisible!
As a parent, the decision to straighten your child's teeth isn't something that should be rushed – it will not only affect their life now, but their future as well. Our experienced orthodontists will provide all the information you need to make the right decision for your child.
As a teenager you may be conscious of your smile but some people feel that wearing traditional fixed braces could be embarrassing. If you feel like this, Invisalign Teen could offer a suitable alternative. They are almost invisible, removable, comfortable, practical, affordable and effective.
Is Invisalign Teen suitable for my child?
Invisalign Teen is generally used in the treatment of minor orthodontic problems and, although capable of treating a variety of cases, including crowding, spacing, crossbite, overbite and underbite, it is not suitable for all treatment types.
Because every mouth is different, at Lincoln Orthodontics our highly qualified orthodontists will fully assess every patient individually before providing a range of different brace options for them to consider. At this time, the orthodontist will also discuss with you whether or not Invisalign Teen is a practical option for your teenager's orthodontic treatment.
Better dental health
Because Invisalign Teen aligners are removable, teenagers can continue brushing and flossing as normal which can lead to better overall dental heath in the future. However, the aligners must be worn as prescribed by the orthodontist to ensure treatment is successful and completed on time. The recommended time for wear is 22 hours a day and to help your teenager keep track of this, Invisalign Teen aligners have a blue dot wear indicator.
The aligners can also be removed for occasions such as playing sports or musical instruments so your teenager doesn't have to worry about their orthodontic treatment impacting on their lifestyle.
Book a consultation for Invisalign Teen or call Lincoln Orthodontics on 01522 533363 for more information.

Preventing Toll Fraud in Cisco Unity Connection 8.x
In this chapter, you will find a description of toll fraud—a potential security issue in any organization. You will also find information that may help you to develop preventive measures, and best practices to avoid toll fraud.
See the following sections:
•Using Restriction Tables to Help Prevent Toll Fraud in Cisco Unity Connection 8.x
•Restricting Collect Calling Options
Using Restriction Tables to Help Prevent Toll Fraud in Cisco Unity Connection 8.x
Toll fraud is defined as any toll (long distance) call that is made at the expense of your organization and in violation of its policies. Cisco Unity Connection provides restriction tables that you can use to help guard against toll fraud. Restriction tables control the phone numbers that can be used for transferring calls, for message notification, and for other Connection functions. Each class of service has several restriction tables associated with it, and you can add more as needed. By default, restriction tables are configured for basic toll fraud restrictions for a dial plan with a trunk access code of 9. Restriction tables should be adjusted for your specific dial plan and international dialing prefixes.
Best Practices
To prevent toll fraud by users, administrators, and even outside callers who have improperly gained access to a Cisco Unity Connection mailbox, implement the following changes:
•Set up all restriction tables to block calls to the international operator. When this is done, a person cannot dial out to or configure call transfers from an extension to the international operator (for example, a trunk access code of 9 followed by 00 to dial the international operator) for placing international calls.
•If Connection is integrated with two phone systems, add restriction table patterns to match applicable trunk access codes for both phone system integrations. For example, if the trunk access code for one of the phone system integrations is 99 and you want to restrict the call pattern 900, you would also restrict the pattern 99900. When patterns that include the trunk access codes are restricted, attempts to bypass the restriction table by first accessing either trunk and then dialing the international operator will be blocked.
•For those in your organization who do not need to access international numbers to do their work, set up restriction tables to block all calls to international numbers. This prevents a person who has access to a Connection mailbox that is associated with the restriction table from configuring call transfers or fax delivery from that extension to an international number.
•Set up restriction tables to permit calls only to specific domestic long distance area codes or to prohibit calls to long distance area codes. This prevents a person who has access to a Connection mailbox that is associated with the restriction table from configuring call transfers or fax delivery from that extension to a long distance number.
•Restrict the numbers that can be used for system transfers—a feature that allows callers to dial a number and then transfer to another number that they specify. For example, set up the applicable restriction tables to allow callers to transfer to a lobby or conference room phone, but not to the international operator or to a long distance phone number.
To learn more about how restriction tables work and how to set them up, see the Managing Restriction Tables in Cisco Unity Connection 8.x chapter of the System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Release 8.x, available at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/administration/guide/8xcucsagx.html.
Restricting Collect Calling Options
We recommend that you work with your telecommunications provider to restrict the collect calling option on your incoming phone lines, if appropriate.

It may feel at the time you get a tattoo that you are never going to regret it. However, as you get older or things in your life change dramatically, so too can your thoughts and feelings on the outlandish decisions you made in your younger years. While in the past, if you had regrets for the tattoo you got with your boyfriend during college or based on that period when you really identified with goths, you were pretty much stuck with it; nowadays is different.
Laser tattoo removal at ProSkin is one of the most popular and preferred methods for getting rid of the body art you no longer want. Considering that it is the safest and quickest method for removing ink from your body, it is not hard to see why it is so popular.
If you are still feeling unsure about whether laser removal is an option you want to go with, take some time to read through the list below as it outlines some interesting things about laser tattoo removal you may not have known.
Tattoos Aren't As Deeply Absorbed As You Think
There is a widely held misconception that tattoo ink seeps and is absorbed deep into your skin. However, the truth is tattoo ink only sinks as deep as the dermis layer which is the layer directly below the epidermis. Although it is deep enough so that your tattoo won't be ruined if the above layer, the epidermis flakes, it is not as deep as you may think. This means that the process of removing tattoos is probably not as painful or intrusive as you thought.
Non-Tattooed Areas Of Skin Are Protected
One of the biggest concerns that people have about laser removal treatment is its effect on the rest of their skin. The good thing is though, the way the lasers used work is by targeting the pigment of ink that has been injected into your skin. The laser then breaks this up into tiny particles.
It is your immune system that then removes the colouring, ensuring that the rest of your skin surrounding the tattooed area is not affected.
Some Ink Colours Are Easier To Remove Than Others
You can be forgiven for think that all tattoo ink is created equally. This statement is true until it comes to the process of removing the ink. As a general rule of thumb, colours such as dark blue, green, brown and even black are on the easy to remove end of the colour spectrum. Don't be alarmed though and think just because your tattoos have yellows, oranges and reds. These colours of ink can still be removed. It is just that it may take longer and more sessions to do so.
Treatment Often Only Takes A Few Minutes
There are many people who are put off having their tattoos removed because they think it will take just as long to remove as it did to have it done originally. The reality is that laser tattoo removal is so quick that treatment can often be completed within just a few minutes. This depends of course on the position, placing and colour; but it is still a positive thought to keep in mind.
