Learn to Appreciate - A Powerful Message for Modern Society
This is a powerful message in our modern society. We seem to have lost our bearing & our sense of direction.
One young academically excellent person went to apply for a managerial position in a big company. He passed the first interview, the director did the last interview, and made the final decision. The director discovered from the CV that the youths' academic achievements were excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate research, never had a year when he did not score the highest.
The director asked, "Did you obtain any scholarships in school?"
The youth answered "none."
The director asked, "Was it your father who paid for your school fees?"
The youth answered, "My father passed away when I was one year old, it was my mother who paid for my school fees."
The director asked, "Where did your mother work?"
The youth answered, "My mother worked as clothes cleaner."
The director requested the youth to show his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect.
The director asked, "Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?"
The youth answered, "Never, my mother always wanted me to study and read more books. Furthermore, my mother can wash clothes faster than me."
The director said, "I have a request. When you go back today, go and clean your mothers' hands, and then see me tomorrow morning."
The youth felt that his chance of landing the job was high. When he went back, he happily requested his mother to let him clean her hands. His mother felt strange, happy but with mixed feelings, she showed her hands to the kid. The youth cleaned his mothers' hands slowly. His tears fell as he did that. It was the first time he noticed that his mothers' hands were so wrinkled, and there were so many bruises in her hands. Some bruises were so painful that his mother shivered when they were cleaned with water. This was the first time the youth realized that it was this pair of hands that washed the clothes everyday to enable him to pay the school fees. The bruises in the mothers' hands were the price that the mother had paid for his graduation, academic excellence and his future. After finishing the cleaning of his mother hands, the youth quietly washed all the remaining clothes for his mother. That night, mother and son talked for a very long time. Next morning, the youth went to the directors' office.
The Director noticed the tears in the youths' eyes, asked: "Can you tell me what have you done and learned yesterday in your house?"
The youth answered, "I cleaned my mothers' hand, and also finished cleaning all the remaining clothes."
The Director asked, "Please tell me your feelings."
The youth said, "Number 1, I know now what is appreciation. Without my mother, I would not be the successful person I am today. Number 2, by working together and helping my mother, do I now realize how difficult and tough it is to get something done. Number 3, I have come to appreciate the importance and value of family relationship."
The director said, "This is what I am looking for in my manager. I want to recruit a person who can appreciate the help of others, a person who knows the sufferings of others to get things done, and a person who would not put money as his only goal in life. You are hired." Later on, this young person worked very hard, and received the respect of his subordinates. Every employee worked diligently and as a team. The companys' performance improved tremendously.
A child, who has been protected and habitually given whatever he wanted, would develop "entitlement mentality" and would always put himself first. He would be ignorant of his parents' efforts. When he starts work, he assumes that every person must listen to him, and when he becomes a manager, he would never know the sufferings of his employees and would always blame others. For these kind of people, who may be good academically, may be successful for a while, but, eventually, would not feel the sense of achievement. They will grumble and be full of hatred and fight for more. If we are this kind of protective parents, are we really showing love or are we destroying the kid instead? You can let your kid live in a big house, eat a good meal, learn piano, watch a big screen TV. But when you are cutting grass, please let them experience it. After a meal, let them wash their plates and bowls together with their brothers and sisters. It is not because you do not have money to hire a maid, but it is because you want to love them in the right way. You want them to understand, no matter how rich their parents are, one day their hair will grow grey, same as the mother of that young person. The most important thing is your kid learns how to appreciate the effort and experience the difficulty and learns the ability to work with others to get things done.
This is worth sharing with others.

This weekend, I attended the Gatsby Summer Afternoon, hosted by the Art Deco Society of California. The idea is to re-create an elegant afternoon 1920s party like the ones Jay Gatsby would host in F. Scott Fitzgerald's famed novel. Everything at the party, from the clothing to the cars, had to look or feel like the time between 1920 and the '40s pre-World War II.
One of the highlights of the annual picnic is the "Great Gatsby Bathing Beauty Revue" featuring the DecoBelles. Wearing vintage swimsuits that seem incredibly modest these days with knee socks and heels, these lovely ladies performed a chorus-line style dance to "The Sentimental Gentleman from Georgia."
After all the dancing was done, the previous year's Miss Art Deco, Eva Garcia, crowned this year's winner, Kristi Major, who is a programs director at the Art Deco Society. Her mother, Madi Major, wearing a snappy '30s hat, couldn't have been more proud.

The outdoor space at your home, when landscaped, will enhance the beauty, livability and the value of your home. We've put together some landscaping ideas to keep your yard looking beautiful with minimum effort and cost. We chose some of the best ideas out there for homeowners who want to upgrade their yards without breaking the bank.
Our Climate: Choosing the Right Plants
Our climate in Fall River is great for certain types of plants, and you need to ensure that you purchase the right ones. It's important that you put in flowers, bushes and ground cover that will flourish in our microclimate and won't require too much care. Talk to your local nursery and they can advise you about the plants that will grow the best here in the Fall River area.
Perennials: A Great Choice
Perennials are hardy and come back every year with very little work. The base of your new landscaping can include several types of perennial flowers that provide a background for the annuals you put in during the spring. There are so many beautiful perennials to choose, and everyone has their favorites. Choose a color scheme that appeals to you, and each year you can add different splashes of color by adding annuals.
Create a Berm
A berm is a raised area in your yard, often placed in the front corner, or corners. They're easy to create, as all you need to do is add top soil and mulch, and plant a variety of ground cover plants and bushes. A berm adds appeal to your yard and has the advantage of blocking sound and sight from the street. Go to the local nursery in Fall River, and talk to them. They know everything about plants and can advise you if you need help in what plants to choose. This is one of the cheapest and simplest ways to improve your yard.
Stone Pathways
A stone pathway, even in a small yard, can make the area look more beautiful. Build a small berm on either side of the pathway, and load it with ground cover, flowers and bushes. This creates a vision of space – lush foliage has the added benefit of making a smaller yard appear larger.
A Stair Step Garden
Having flower pots that spill out a rainbow of lush color placed on each stair of your home is an easy and fast way to improve the overall appeal of your home. Choose pots that have a base to collect water, particularly if you have wooden stairs so you don't damage them. Water the plants as directed, and watch them grow!
Build a Wall and Put in a Raised Bed
Choose the stone treatments that appeal to you, such as flagstones. You can stack the stones yourself (don't buy large ones – they are heavy!), and there is no need to call a stonemason to create a wall that looks amazing. Once it is in place at about 12 inches high, fill it to the brim with a mixture of soil, compost or fertilizer. You now have a beautiful raised bed, and you can plant perennials and seasonal flowers to enjoy throughout the season. These walls look great outside the front of the house and make your home look more attractive and appealing to visitors.
While you are planting your garden and getting into all things "spring," it's a great time to get a review of your homeowner's insurance policy and make sure it is up-to-date. Your home is likely your biggest investment, and protecting that investment couldn't be more important. Find out how much coverage you have, and if it can be increased, or whether there is more coverage available at the same or lower price.
Our local team of agents at Donald J. Medeiros Insurance Agency in Fall River, Massachusetts can help you with a full policy review. There are frequently good deals when you bundle your insurances, or special offers that pop up that could really make a difference for you. We are happy to review the homeowners policy you have in place as a service to you, and explain exactly what you have, and what you may need. Meanwhile, enjoy the spring and we hope these landscaping tips were helpful. Not only will your home be more beautiful, it can attract a buyer more quickly if you ever plan to sell.
We hope to hear from you! Our team at Donald J. Medeiros Insurance Agency in Fall River, Massachusetts is ready to help you. Call us and let's talk!

I had it too, only saved the bedside table.Anyway, I have kidney stones, too.Had to have lipotripsy once. The BEST advice I have is to drink 12, yep, 12 glasses of water a day. I KNOW how you are feeling, hope they pass soon, painlessly. Michele firstname.lastname@example.com

Wow! The dresser is beautiful. I want to do my bedroom set exactly the same! Did you do the glaze on everything but the drawers? They seem to be slightly darker than the rest of the dresser. Really beautiful!

Thanks! Nutsy, tried to reply via email, but would not work as you have "no-reply" in your email settings. Anyway, I didn't end up glazing the drawers because the put the dresser back together and just liked them the way they were. You can also glaze if you prefer.

I love the way the stain turned out on the top of the dresser! How it has a great rich color but still allows the wood grain to show through. What stain did you use?

2 Firefighters Shot and Killed at Scene of Fire in Webster, N.Y.; Gunman Dead (UPDATED)
UPDATE 4:07 p.m. EST: Authorities have identified the gunman as William Spengler, an ex-convict who spent 17 years in prison for murdering his 92-year-old grandmother in 1980.
Spengler was paroled for the crime in 1998.
Police also have not located Spengler's 67-year-old sister, who lived in the house with Spengler.
Authorities also report that a total of seven houses were destroyed in the blaze.
UPDATE 12:40 p.m. EST: Police chief Gerald Pickering says that the gunman, who was killed at the scene, either by police or from a self-inflicted wound, may have set a trap for first responders.
UPDATE 12:15 p.m. EST: The Associated Press is reporting that the gunman who killed the two firefighters is also dead. His body was found at the scene. The names of the two deceased firefighters, according to the Democrat and Chronicle, are Mike Chiapperini, 43, a volunteer firefighter and the Webster Police Department's public information officer, and Tomasz Kaczowka. The names of the wounded firefighters are Joseph Hofsetter and Theodore Scardino.
Early Monday morning two firefighters were shot and killed when responding to a call in Webster, New York, just outside Rochester. After the firefighters arrived at 191 Lake Road, an unknown shooter fired at them as they left their truck, killing two of them and wounding two others. The wounded men are at a nearby hospital; one is in stable condition, the other is in guarded condition.
"We have different individuals that were possible people with knowledge, but at this point I can't really comment," Monroe County Sheriff Patrick O'Flynn said.
"It's still an active crime scene," said police chief Gerald Pickering.
Details are still scarce at this time. More to come as further information comes in. Local news has a live video feed here.

Biscotti is a type of Italian Cookie which gets its name from the original biscoctus,which means twice cooked/baked.It defined oven baked goods that were baked twice, so they were very dry and could be stored for long periods of time.[source]
I've heard so many horror stories of this very simple recipe that I pushed baking this to the last minute.Stories of the baked dough crumbling while cutting and not holding shape and not baking through were some of the many.Fortunately,this recipe is quite foolproof and got done smoothly.I felt it tasted very similar to our Indian Rusk,perfect with a mug of coffee/tea or even sweetened milk.
Chocolate Almond Biscotti
Recipe source - Joy of Baking
Eggs - 2 large
Vanilla extract - 1 tsp
All Purpose flour - 1 ¾ cups
Baking powder - 1 tsp
Salt – ¼ tsp
Chocolate – 110 gms,chopped in ½ ' pieces
Almonds – ¾ cup,blanched,toasted and chopped coarsely
Mix in the sifted flour mixture and beat until combined.
Fold in the chopped almonds and chocolate.
Transfer the dough to a baking tray lined with butter paper and form into a log.Roughly 12 inches long and 3 inches wide.
(you many have to dampen your hands while doing this as the dough is quite sticky).
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until firm to touch.Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
Reduce oven temperature to 160C.Transfer the log to a cutting board and cut into 2 cm slices.(diagonally or straight)
Place the biscotti cut side down on the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
Turn slices over and bake for another 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and cool and store in airtight containers.
- I halved the recipe and got around 10 biscottis.You could slice the log diagonally for better looking biscottis.
- While slicing,follow the trial and error method.Some recipes ask you to cut in a sawing motion and some ask you to cut straight down.Try the method which best works for you.I did the sawing method.
- Shaping the log requires a bit of a patience,the dough is very sticky and forming the log into a neat one seems like a challenge.Try smoothening the top with a wet spatula and it might work.

Why: Many reviewers are disappointed to find that this lip stain doesn't last, contrary to its promising name. "I kept hearing great things about the lasting power of this product, but I got it in two different colors and it didn't last very long at all," says one reviewer. Many users complain of an unpleasant scent and taste, adding that the product left their lips "dry" and "cracked" -- an overall letdown.

Several popular products mentioned and described well; what was missing was Tarte's spectacular "LipSurgence" tint which truly hydrates as welll as colors.

i actually really love the revlon just bitten stains and the covergirl outlast. i think that for those theres a system for making them look lovely. you have polish your lips (i love doing a diy lip scrub just sugar and extra virgin olive oil) and then balm your lips allow that to sink in and then apply the product for even lovely coverage

Oh, and I'm scratching my head over the Laura Mercier review. True, it's not really a stain, but it's lovely, and it doesn't cause me any pain. Not sure what those comments were about.

After using Benetint for about a month, I had chronic dry lips. It took forever for the dryness to go away. I won't use it again. I use Body Shop's stain. I have one in my desk at work, my purse, gym bag and in my bathroom. Can't live without it. Sad it wasn't rated here, but I'm excited to try some of the others. I love stains over lipstick.

(Ariana Cubillos/ Associated Press ) – A mural represents the eyes of Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez in Caracas, Venezuela, Monday, Dec. 31, 2012. Chavez is confronting "new complications" due to a respiratory infection nearly three weeks after undergoing cancer surgery, his Vice President Nicolas Maduro said Sunday evening in Cuba as he visited the ailing leader for the first time since his operation.
By Associated Press, Updated: Monday, December 31, 4:43 PM
CARACAS, Venezuela — President Hugo Chavez's new complications after cancer surgery prompted his closest allies to call for Venezuelans to pray for him on Monday, presenting an increasingly bleak outlook and prompting growing speculation about whether the ailing leader has much longer to live.
Vice President Nicolas Maduro looked weary and spoke with a solemn expression as he announced in a televised address from Havana on Sunday that Chavez now confronts "new complications" due to a respiratory infection nearly three weeks after his operation. He described Chavez's condition as delicate.
The streets of Caracas were abuzz on Monday with talk of Chavez's increasingly tough fight, while the news topped the front pages of the country's newspapers.
"He's history now," said Cesar Amaro, a street vendor selling newspapers and snacks at a kiosk in downtown Caracas. He motioned to a daily on the rack showing side-by-side photos of Maduro and National Assembly President Diosdado Cabello, and said politics will now turn to them.
Amaro said he expects a new election soon to replace Chavez. "For an illness like the one the president has, his days are numbered now," he said matter-of-factly.
In Bolivar Plaza in downtown Caracas, Chavez's supporters strummed guitars and read poetry in his honor on New Year's Eve. They sang along with a recording of the president belting out the national anthem.
About 300 people filled a Caracas church for a Mass to pray for Chavez.
"This country would be terrible without Chavez. He's the president of the poor," said Josefa Carvajal, a 75-year-old former maid who sat in the pews. "They say the president is very sick. I believe he's going to get better."
The president's aides held a Mass at the presidential palace, while government officials urged Venezuelans to keep their president in their prayers.
Political analyst Ricardo Sucre said the outlook for Chavez appears grim, saying Maduro's body language during his televised appearance spoke volumes.
"Everything suggests Chavez's health situation hasn't evolved as hoped," Sucre said. He said Maduro likely remained in Havana to keep close watch on how Chavez's condition develops.
"These hours should be key to having a more definitive prognosis of Chavez's health, and as a consequence make the corresponding political decisions according to the constitution," Sucre said.
Sucre and other Venezuelans said it seems increasingly unlikely that Chavez would be able to be sworn in as scheduled on Jan. 10.
The Venezuelan leader has not been seen or heard from since undergoing his fourth cancer-related surgery Dec. 11, and government officials have said he might not return in time for his inauguration for a new six-year term.
If Chavez dies or is unable to continue in office, the Venezuelan Constitution says that a new election should be held within 30 days.
Before his operation, Chavez acknowledged he faced risks and designated Maduro as his successor, telling supporters they should vote for the vice president if a new presidential election were necessary.
Chavez said at the time that his cancer had come back despite previous surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation treatment. He has been fighting an undisclosed type of pelvic cancer since June 2011.Maduro said on Sunday that he had met with Chavez. "We greeted each other and he himself referred to these complications," Maduro said, reading from a prepared statement.
"The president gave us precise instructions so that, after finishing the visit, we would tell the (Venezuelan) people about his current health condition," Maduro said. "President Chavez's state of health continues to be delicate, with complications that are being attended to, in a process not without risks."
Maduro was seated alongside Chavez's eldest daughter, Rosa, and son-in-law Jorge Arreaza, as well as Attorney General Cilia Flores. He held up a copy of a newspaper confirming that his message was recorded on Sunday.
"Thanks to his physical and spiritual strength, Comandante Chavez is facing this difficult situation," Maduro said.
Maduro said he had met various times with Chavez's medical team and relatives. He said he would remain in Havana "for the coming hours" but didn't specify how long.
Maduro, who arrived in Havana on Saturday for the sudden and unexpected trip, is the highest-ranking Venezuelan official to see Chavez since the surgery in Cuba, where the president's mentor Fidel Castro has reportedly made regular visits to check on him.
Before flying to Cuba, Maduro said that Energy Minister Hector Navarro would be in charge of government affairs in the meantime.
"The situation does not look good. The fact that Maduro himself would go to Cuba, leaving Hector Navarro in charge only seems understandable if Chavez's health is precarious," said David Smilde, a University of Georgia sociologist and analyst for the Washington Office on Latin America think tank.
Smilde said that Maduro probably made the trip "to be able to talk to Chavez himself and perhaps to talk to the Castros and other Cuban advisers about how to navigate the possibility of Chavez not being able to be sworn in on Jan. 10."
"Mentioning twice in his nationally televised speech that Chavez has suffered new complications only reinforces the appearance that the situation is serious," Smilde said.
Medical experts say that it's common for patients who have undergone major surgeries to suffer respiratory infections and that how a patient fares can vary widely from a quick recovery in a couple of days to a fight for life on a respirator.
Maduro's latest update differed markedly from a week ago, when he had said he received a phone call from the president and that Chavez was up and walking.
The vice president spoke on Sunday below a picture of 19th century independence hero Simon Bolivar, the inspiration of Chavez's leftist Bolivarian Revolution movement.
Maduro said that Chavez had sent year-end greetings to his homeland and a "warm hug to the boys and girls of Venezuela."
The vice president expressed faith that Chavez would "successfully fight this new battle." He concluded his message saying: "Long live Chavez."
On the streets of Caracas, images of Chavez smiling and saluting are emblazoned on campaign signs and murals. One newly painted mural reads: "Be strong, Chavez."State television played video of Chavez campaigning for re-election, including a speech when he shouted: "I am a nation!"
A new government sign atop a high-rise apartment complex reads: "YOU ALSO ARE CHAVEZ."
Chavez has been in office since 1999 and was re-elected in October, three months after he had announced that his latest tests showed he was cancer-free.
Opposition politicians have criticized a lack of detailed information about Chavez's condition, and last week repeated their demands for a full medical report.
Information Minister Ernesto Villegas defended the government's handling of the situation, saying during a televised panel discussion on Sunday night that Chavez "has told the truth in his worst moments" throughout his presidency.
He also referred to a new surge of rumors about Chavez's condition and called for respect for the president and his family.
Chavez's daughter Maria, who has been with the president since his surgery, said in a message on her Twitter account: "Thank you people of Venezuela. Thank you people of the world. You and your love have always been our greatest strength! God is with us! We love you!"
Chavez's son-in-law Jorge Arreaza, who is the government's science minister and has been with the president in Cuba, urged Venezuelans in a Twitter message Monday night not to believe "bad-intentioned rumors" circulating online. "President Chavez has spent the day calm and stable, accompanied by his children," Arreaza said in the message.
Some who stood in the Caracas plaza on Monday night held pictures of the president. Speaking to the crowd, lawmaker Earle Herrera said that Chavez "is continuing to fight the battle he has to fight."
"He's an undefeated president, and he'll continue to be undefeated," he said.
Associated Press writer Christopher Toothaker contributed to this report.

Please! Let it be January! And let them edit this the way we all want to see it -- f-ck the appearance of being nice and diplomatic. I mean, this is why our Mimi was asked to be a judge, right? Not because she's particularly interested in finding a new superstar but because she's only interested in us paying attention to the ONLY superstar worth mentioning: HER, of course.
But then they made her share the judges' panel with another female artist.
It was confirmed this weekend that Mimi would be joined by Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban on the show, with Randy Jackson returning in the anchor position. Auditions are now underway in New York. Already Mimi and Minaj are throwing down. According to TMZ Mimi keeps cutting Nicki off, prompting Nicki to try and talk louder and OVER her.
No one overtalks our Mimi! (But OMG I can't wait to see her try.)
Also, how will Keith Urban make it through an entire season stuck between those two? Look at him. I worry for him. But I also appreciate that they put Mimi in an outside position. It's easier this way to wheel her in and out, right? Like if they have to forklift her into her seat, they only have to worry about one side. And this way it's faster for her bodyguard to reach her, and pick her up in his arms, if and when she wants to storm out.
Here are Minaj, Urban, and Jackson arriving for day 2 of auditions this morning. I love this description from the photo agency:
"American Idol judges Nicki Minaj, Keith Urban, and Randy Jackson arrived for the taping of the New York auditions at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Mariah Carey did not choose to walk in as the others did."

Hire Purchase or HP requires dispersing leasing payments over a 12-60 month period and sometimes giving a 10% downpayment first. Personal Contract Hire is set up by the dealer and is often really competitive for new vehicles.
For this type of leases, you won't own the vehicle until you've paid off the very last instalment; this is due to the credit is secured against the car.

You are able to decrease your monthly instalment with car leasing by conducting a personal contract plan on HP. You won't have to pay for the vehicle outright in cases like this - as an alternative, you may pay the difference between the selling and resale price. The value is depending on the miles travelled over the period of contract.
Repayments are spread over a shorter period of 12 to 36 months. At the conclusion of the term you could give back the vehicle to the nearby dealer in your surrounding area in Wiltshire SP4 8 and pay nothing, swap the car in and begin again or pay the resale cost and keep it. PCP leases generally have smaller sized monthly payments after paying the initial deposit in comparison to other financing strategies. The monthly payments are really low-cost, because a huge payment must be paid before you own the car.
Personal leases will involve sticking with an agreed mileage; you could then get maintenance as part of the set month-to-month cost. By the end of our agreement, you give the vehicle back. You don't ever own the car. This simply means you will not need to worry about it depreciating.
You can also consider business leasing https://www.best-car-lease-deals.co.uk/finance/business/wiltshire which can be ideal for a range of companies closest to you across the UK.
When you compare leasing, there are a few key things you can do before you make your final choice. Make certain you're able to afford the monthly payment. Going through the annual percentage rate (APR) is important; this can show you precisely what you'll need to pay for. In the event you put more cash down initially, you will have a more affordable interest rate.
Vehicle leasing prices can vary depending on numerous factors. To keep costs to a minimum per month, you may think about putting down a higher deposit and extending the timespan of the contract.
We advise examining the total cost of borrowing and also the expenses involved. Think carefully before buying payment protection insurance (PPI) or other insurance, for example GAP cover, which is often pricey and might give minimal cover.
GAP coverage is designed to pay out if your vehicle is a complete write-off and the rest of the finance is more than the value of your car. Going beyond the arranged mileage in PCP and also personal financing could lead to extra expenses as well as early repayments.

Review: Nokia CR-200 Wireless car charger; a first-rate product for a premium experience (Part I)
Anyone with a Nokia Lumia 720 or higher should know by now the value of Qi wireless charging. Built in to some Lumias, optional backplate for others, what many dismissed as a gimmick has turned into a way of life for converts. Quite a few of you are even down on the Lumia 1020 because you need an optional back cover to enable the Qi. But from charging plates, to stands to speakers, Nokia has been slowly growing the Qi ecosystem and we like it a lot.
Today, we're taking a look at the Nokia CR-200, a wireless Qi enabled car charging system for your Lumia (or any Qi enabled phone). The product retails between $75 and $100, depending on where you go, and while that is certainly a lot of money to charge your phone, like all things Nokia this is one top notch accessory.
What's in the box
The CR-200 comes with the Qi enabled charger with a dual sticky/suction cup base. You also get a wire extender should the basic one provided not be long enough and some clips to keep the wire from dangling. While the CR-200 can grip to your car's dashboard or windshield as is, there is an optional puck that is sticky on one side and non-porous on the other. That's particularly useful if your car's dashboard surface is porous, preventing the CR-200 from mounting. (I suggest using it "as is" for a few days until you figure out your ideal location and then use the puck for final placement).
Build quality
Overall, the quality of the CR-200 is excellent. As you can see in our video tour above, the smallest detail has been taking care of, whether it is the gentle extension of the phone clamps to the very powerful suction mechanism, the CR-200 is worth the money (assuming you can afford it). All Lumias that we tested had no problem being gripped by the CR-200, including the Lumia 720 (w/back cover), Lumia 920, Lumia 925 (w/back cover), Lumia 928* and Lumia 1020 (w/back cover).
*Lumia 928: Warning, the right clamp does hit the camera button on this Lumia, making this accessory less than ideal for that device. You can use it but you need to be gentle when locking the clamps.
With the NFC enabled bottom lip, your phone can tap-to-activate any app you want, including the Nokia Car app (seen in the lead image). That lip is also slightly hooked, locking the phone and keeping it from falling forward. It's a clever design and works well.
The back of CR-200 has a massive ball bearing hinge that is nice and stiff. We're not sure if constant adjustment will affect that stiffness, but so far it's been stellar. With that hinge, you can rotate the CR-200 holder around 180 degree so that the suction cup is facing upwards, ideal for windscreen placement. You can also rotate the phone into landscape mode, should you preview that angle.

All the latest news, reviews, and guides for Windows and Xbox diehards.
The cigarette adapter also features a USB outlet, so that you can use it to charge other accessories even when the CR-200 is in use and plugged into the car. The main Qi charging plate outputs a modest 750 mA while the USB accessory puts out 550 mA. That's a tad on the low side for the Qi-wireless as we have seen some rapid-car wired chargers output 2.1 A, while most hover around the 1 ampere marker. Having said that, it appears to be just enough juice to trickle charge the phone without it getting too hot. We had no issues when using it for navigation.
We'll follow up more on the CR-200 in a few days, including showing it in a car and even seeing if we can have it wired to our engine (for a true wireless experience). So far though, we really like it and have no complaints.
Stay tuned.

Passenger tried to hijack plane to Sochi: CBC
Feb. 7, 2014, Istanbul, Turkey - A Ukrainian passenger on an Istanbul-bound flight claimed Friday there was a bomb on board and tried to hijack the plane to Sochi, Russia, where the Olympics are kicking off, an official said.
February 7, 2014 By CBC News
The plane from Kharkiv, Ukraine, landed safely in Istanbul, but 110
passengers are still on board and authorities were trying to convince
the alleged hijacker to give himself up, Habib Soluk, the Turkish
Transport Ministry undersecretary, told NTV television.
The station said an F-16 fighter plane was scrambled as soon as the
pilot signalled there was a hijacking attempt. It also reported the man
had been subdued, but there was no immediate confirmation of that.
The Interfax news agency cited the Ukrainian Security Service, the
country's main security agency, as saying the passenger who tried to
hijack the plane was in a state of severe alcohol intoxication. It also
said he has been pacified, and no weapons or explosives were found on
him, but it was not clear where the information was coming from.
Soluk said the man rose from his seat, shouted that there was bomb on
board and tried to enter the locked cockpit. The pilot signaled that
there was a hijack attempt and Sabiha Gokcen airport was placed on high
"The man was made to believe the plane was heading to Sochi," Soluk
said. "We are hoping that the passengers are evacuated without even a
Pegasus Airlines confirmed in a brief statement there was a "bomb threat" aboard their flight from Kharkiv.
The plane's captain, Ilyas Karagulle, signaled that the crew was well, according to state-run TRT television.
With about 100,000 police, security agents and army troops flooding Sochi, Russia has pledged to ensure "the safest Olympics in history." But terror fears fuelled by recent suicide bombings have left athletes, spectators and officials worldwide jittery about potential threats.
Security experts warn that Islamic militants in the Caucasus, who
have threatened to derail the Winter Games that run from Feb. 7-23,
could achieve their goal by choosing soft targets away from the Olympic
sites or even outside Sochi.
The spokeswoman for the Ukrainian Security Service could not be reached.

Information We Collect
We only collect information about you if we have a reason to do so–for example, to provide our Services, to communicate with you, or to make our Services better.
We collect information in three ways: if and when you provide information to us, automatically through operating our Services, and from outside sources. Let's go over the information that we collect.
Information You Provide to Us
It's probably no surprise that we collect information that you provide to us. The amount and type of information depends on the context and how we use the information. Here are some examples:
Basic Account Information: We ask for basic information from you in order to set up your account. For example, we require individuals who sign up for a SexToyDistributing.com account to provide a username and email address and basic business information. As we are a wholesaler we need this information to authenticate your business.
Transaction and Billing Information: If you buy something from us, you will provide additional personal and/or payment information that is required to process the transaction and your payment, such as your name, credit card information, billing and shipping information information.
Other Information: If you use our Terms payment or Bill Me Later Services, you may also provide us with information about your financial status to set up a payments integration, such as your bank account information or other financial information to confirm your capability to pay in the future.
Communications With Us (Hi There!): You may also provide us information when you respond to surveys, communicate with our Customer Support about a support question, or post a question about us in our twitter, facebook, or other social contact methods, if you choose to use them.
Information We Collect Automatically
We also collect some information automatically:
Log Information: Like most online service providers, we collect information that web browsers, mobile devices, and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, IP address, unique device identifiers, language preference, referring site, the date and time of access, operating system, and mobile network information. We collect log information when you use our Services–for an example, if you find an missing page or broken link, that error is recorded in our logs.
Usage Information: We collect information about your usage of our Services. For example, we collect information about what happens when you use our Services (e.g., page views, the path you took through our site, and if you purchased or not) along with information about your device (e.g., screen size, name of cellular network, and mobile device manufacturer). We use this information to, for example, provide our Services to you, as well as get insights on how people use our Services, so we can make our Services better.
Location Information: We may determine the approximate location of your device from your IP address. We collect and use this information to, for example, calculate how many people visit our Services from certain geographic regions. We may also collect information about your precise location via our mobile apps if you allow us to do so through your mobile device operating system's permissions.
Information from Cookies & Other Technologies: A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor's computer, and that the visitor's browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Pixel tags (also called web beacons) are small blocks of code placed on websites and emails. Sextoy Distributing uses cookies and other technologies like pixel tags to help us identify and track visitors, usage, and access preferences for our Services, as well as track and understand email campaign effectiveness and to deliver targeted ads. For more information about our use of cookies and other technologies for tracking, including how you can control the use of cookies, please see our Cookie Policy.
How And Why We Use Information
Purposes for Using Information
We use information about you as mentioned above and for the purposes listed below:
- To provide our Services–for example, to set up and maintain your account or charge you for your purchases;
- To further develop and improve our Services–for example by adding new features that we think our users will enjoy or will help them using our Services;
- To monitor and analyze trends and better understand how users interact with our Services, which helps us improve our Services and make them easier to use;
- To measure, gauge, and improve the effectiveness of our advertising, and better understand user retention and attrition–for example, we may analyze how many individuals made a purchase after receiving a marketing message or the features used by those who continue to use our Services after a certain length of time;
- To monitor and prevent any problems with our Services, protect the security of our Services, detect and prevent fraudulent transactions and other illegal activities, fight spam, and protect the rights and property of Sextoy Distributing and others, which may result in us declining a transaction or the use of our Services;
- To communicate with you, for example through an email, about offers and promotions offered by Sextoy Distributing and others we think will be of interest to you, solicit your feedback, or keep you up to date on Sextoy Distributing and our products; and
- To personalize your experience using our Services, provide content recommendations (for example, suggested products), target our marketing messages to groups of our users (for example, those who have purchased particular products or have been our user for a certain length of time).
Legal Bases for Collecting and Using Information
A note here for those in the European Union about our legal grounds for processing information about you under EU data protection laws, which is that our use of your information is based on the grounds that:
(1) The use is necessary in order to fulfill our commitments to you under our Terms of Service or other agreements with you or is necessary to administer your account–for example, in order to enable access to our website on your device or charge you for items you buy; or
(2) The use is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation; or
(3) The use is necessary in order to protect your vital interests or those of another person; or
(4) We have a legitimate interest in using your information–for example, to provide and update our Services, to improve our Services so that we can offer you an even better user experience, to safeguard our Services, to communicate with you, to measure, gauge, and improve the effectiveness of our advertising, and better understand user retention and attrition, to monitor and prevent any problems with our Services, and to personalize your experience; or
(5) You have given us your consent–for example before we place certain cookies on your device and access and analyze them later on, as described in our Cookie Policy.
Sharing Information
How We Share Information
We do not sell our users' private personal information.
We share information about you in the limited circumstances spelled out below and with appropriate safeguards on your privacy:
Subsidiaries, Employees, and Independent Contractors: We may disclose information about you to our subsidiaries, our employees, and individuals who are our independent contractors that need to know the information in order to help us provide our Services or to process the information on our behalf. We require our subsidiaries, employees, and independent contractors to follow this Privacy Policy for personal information that we share with them.
Third Party Vendors: We may share information about you with third party vendors who need to know information about you in order to provide their services to us, or to provide their services to you. This group includes vendors that help us provide our Services to you (like payment providers that process your credit and debit card information, fraud prevention services that allow us to analyze fraudulent payment transactions, postal and email delivery services that help us stay in touch with you, customer chat and email support services that help us communicate with you, registrars, registries, and data escrow services that allow us to provide domain registration services, those that assist us with our marketing efforts (e.g. by providing tools for identifying a specific marketing target group or improving our marketing campaigns), those that help us understand and enhance our Services (like analytics providers). We require vendors to agree to privacy commitments in order to share information with them. Other vendors are listed in our more specific policies (e.g. our Cookie Policy).
Legal Requests: We may disclose information about you in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request. For more information on how we respond to requests for information about SexToyDistributing.com users, please see our Legal Guidelines.
To Protect Rights, Property, and Others: We may disclose information about you when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Sextoy Distributing, third parties, or the public at large. For example, if we have a good faith belief that there is an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury, we may disclose information related to the emergency without delay.
Business Transfers: In connection with any merger, sale of company assets, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company, or in the unlikely event that Sextoy Distributing goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would likely be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. If any of these events were to happen, this Privacy Policy would continue to apply to your information and the party receiving your information may continue to use your information, but only consistent with this Privacy Policy.
With Your Consent: We may share and disclose information with your consent or at your direction. For example, we may share your information with third parties with which you authorize us to do so, such as if you require us to ship product to someone besides yourself. In that case, your information will be printed on the shipping label.
Published Support Requests: And if you send us a request (for example, via a support email or one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish that request in a non personally identifying way in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. For Example, we may add a question and answer to our FAQ page. Your question will not be associated with you in anyway.
Information Shared Publicly
Information that you choose to make public is–you guessed it–disclosed publicly.
That means, of course, that information like your wishlist or saved products lists that you make public are all available to others, this may help you in your business to share future buying decisions without having to give other employees in your business your login information to your account.
Public information may also be indexed by search engines or used by third parties.
Please keep all of this in mind when deciding what you would like to make public.
How Long We Keep Information
We generally discard information about you when we no longer need the information for the purposes for which we collect and use it–which are described in the section above on How and Why We Use Information–and we are not legally required to continue to keep it.
For example, we keep the web server logs that record information about a visitor to Sextoy Distributing's websites, such as the visitor's IP address, browser type, and operating system, for at least 30 days. We retain the logs for this period of time in order to, among other things, analyze traffic to Sextoy Distributing's websites and investigate issues if something goes wrong on one of our websites.
While no online service is 100% secure, we work very hard to protect information about you against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction, and take reasonable measures to do so, such as monitoring our Services for potential vulnerabilities and attacks.
You have several choices available when it comes to information about you:
Limit Access to Information On Your Mobile Device: Your mobile device operating system should provide you with the ability to discontinue our ability to collect stored information or location information.
Opt-Out of Electronic Communications: You may opt out of receiving promotional messages from us. Just follow the instructions in those messages. If you opt out of promotional messages, we may still send you other messages, like those about your account, purchases, shipping notifications, order status updates and legal notices.
Set Your Browser to Reject Cookies: You can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies before using Sextoy Distributing's websites, with the drawback that certain features of Sextoy Distributing's websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
Close Your Account: While we'd be very sad to see you go, if you no longer want to use our Services :( :( :( :(, you can close your SexToyDistributing.com account. Please keep in mind that we may continue to retain your information after closing your account, as described in How Long We Keep Information above–for example, when that information is reasonably needed to comply with (or demonstrate our compliance with) legal obligations such as law enforcement requests, or reasonably needed for our legitimate business interests.
Your Rights
If you are located in certain countries, including those that fall under the scope of the European General Data Protection Regulation (AKA the "GDPR"), data protection laws give you rights with respect to your personal data, subject to any exemptions provided by the law, including the rights to:

- Request correction or deletion of your personal data;

EU individuals also have the right to make a complaint to a government supervisory authority.
Controllers and Responsible Companies
Sextoy Distributing's Services are offered worldwide.

My instinctive response is:
Peter Gleick, you are a complete and utter twat of the highest order.
It still leaves open the question of the "forged" memo. It does seem more plausible that it was mailed to him, than that he actually wrote it, referring as it does to "high profile climate scientists (such as Gleick)". Rather, his mention on the doc might explain why he was selected as the recipient. OTOH an hour ago I'd not have thought it plausible that he would have actually been the one who obtained all the other files.
I'm laying in stores of popcorn.

"Moreover, you scorned our people, and compared the Albanese to sheep, and according to your custom think of us with insults. Nor have you shown yourself to have any knowledge of my race. Our elders were Epirotes, where this Pirro came from, whose force could scarcely support the Romans. This Pirro, who Taranto and many other places of Italy held back with armies. I do not have to speak for the Epiroti. They are very much stronger men than your Tarantini, a species of wet men who are born only to fish. If you want to say that Albania is part of Macedonia I would concede that a lot more of our ancestors were nobles who went as far as India under Alexander the Great and defeated all those peoples with incredible difficulty. From those men come these who you called sheep. But the nature of things is not changed. Why do your men run away in the faces of sheep?"
Letter from Skanderbeg to the Prince of Taranto ▬ Skanderbeg, October 31 1460

A Democratic Congressman has introduced legislation that would impose tough new penalties on people who lie when they buy guns.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Ca.) says the bill, the Straw Purchaser Penalty Enhancement Act, would give federal agents new tools to crack down on the flow of weapons across the Southwest border into Mexico.
Nowadays, many episodes where people lie about the true identity of the purchaser of guns, or engage in straw purchases, never get prosecuted at all, Schiff says in an interview with NPR.
"The penalties are so insufficient that prosecutors don't want to bring the cases and more than that you can't get sufficient cooperation when you indict them to roll them up and use their testimony against higher ups in the gun smuggling organization," he says.
Under Schiff's proposal, people engaged in straw purchasing could face a mandatory two year minimum prison sentence, which he says could "put some teeth" in the law and help prosecutors compel the gun buyers to provide information about higher ranking people who receive the weapons.
The proposal comes after a year long congressional investigation into the flawed gun trafficking operation known as Fast and Furious. In that case, agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in Arizona lost track of more than 1,000 weapons purchased under suspicious circumstances. Many later turned up at crime scenes on both sides of the Mexican border, including near the body of slain U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.
"Part of the reason that such desperate and flawed techniques were used," in Fast and Furious, Schiff says, is because agents testified they didn't have more potent legal tools at their disposal.
"If we can provide prosecutors...with a hammer to place over the head of those who are knowingly and willingly participating in the smuggling of weapons to these traffickers, then hopefully we can put a dent in this mutually destructive trade with Mexico where they send their drugs north and we send our arms south," Schiff says.

The TV does not produce any sound or audio when using an HDMI connection.
Follow the steps below to troubleshoot this issue.
- Ensure the HDMI cable is securely connected to both the source device (set-top box, DVD player, or other device) and the TV.
If using a HDMI to DVI cable [FIG.1] or and HDMI-to-DVI adaptor, additional audio cables [FIG.2] will be required. Additional information is available if the TV speakers do not produce any sound when using a DVI-to-HDMI connection.
If using an HDMI connection that supports the ARC feature make sure that the appropriate inputs are being used.
- Set the TV to the correct video input to receive the signal from the source device.
- Set the audio output setting of the source device to output a compatible audio signal.
- If using a set-top box, make sure the volume is turned up on the set-top box. You also may need to go into the set-top box menu and select HDMI in the Audio Settings or Audio Coding section to pass the audio to the TV.
- Earlier versions of set-top box firmware did not properly handle automatic HDMI connections. You may need an update to your set-top box firmware or a newer set-top box from your service provider.
- If using a computer set the appropriate HDMI properties .
- Instead of setting the audio output of the source device to Dolby Digital or DTS sound, try setting it to output PCM or 2-channel audio. If assistance is needed to change the audio settings, consult the instruction manual or manufacturer of the source device.
- A seperate audio connection is needed if using a computer and the HDMI connection is being recognized as a DVI connection by the computer.
- Disconnect the HDMI cable from the HDMI input of the TV and connect the source device to a different TV.
NOTE: This step should be done before the next 2 steps because it will help determine if the issue is with the source device or the HDMI cable. If the sound is heard on another TV, reconnect the source device to the TV and continue with the steps below.
- If there is still no sound, perform a power reset on the TV .
- If there is still no sound after power resetting the TV, replace the HDMI cable.
- Perform a factory reset .
The troubleshooting steps listed above should resolve your issue. If you have completed all of the steps and the issue is not resolved, service may be required.

An off-road racing enthusiast has survived being struck by lightning twice during the same storm in North Texas.
Casey Wagner said Sunday that doctors told him a tingling feeling would last for about a week.
KTVT-TV reports Wagner was at an off-road competition in Saint Jo, 85 miles northwest of Dallas, when storms arrived.
The 31-year-old Wagner was under a tree when he was hit by lightning. He dropped to his knees then he was struck again. Wagner says he saw sparks during the strikes.
A nurse who happened to be nearby cared for Wagner until he was taken to a hospital, where he was treated and released.
Wagner says he believes God kept him alive — and he plans to pray more often.

Is this weird to be so particular about donuts? Well, here's something I think we all can agree on:
Here's an example of the little flags...you could used them on cookie donut holes or real donut holes:
Um, and how cute does that printable look on a pink bakery box?!? Can you imagine delivering this cuteness to your kid's school, or work, or to your neighbor?
The free printables are over on Kami's blog, No Biggie.
(While you're there, click around a bit...if you don't already know Kami, you're going to love her! Check out these printables she made to go with some little pie cookies at Thanksgiving! Squee!)
To make the donut cookies, you'll need:
- circle sugar cookies with the center cut out using a smaller cutter or the back of an icing tip
- royal icing, tinted with AmeriColor Deep Pink (or chocolate glaze, recipe follows)
- disposable icing bag
- coupler and #2 tip
- squeeze bottle
- toothpicks
- sprinkles
Thin the pink icing with water, a bit at a time, stirring with a silicone spatula, until it is the consistency of a thick syrup. (Reserve some of the white icing for piping details later.) You'll want to drop a "ribbon" of icing back into the bowl and have it disappear in a count of "one thousand one, one thousand two." Four is too thick, one is too thin. Count of 2-3 is good. Cover with a damp dishcloth and let sit for several minutes.
Stir gently with a silicone spatula to pop and large air bubbles that have formed. Pour into a squeeze bottle.
Let the cookies dry, uncovered, 6-8 hours or overnight.
Dark Chocolate Glaze
1/2 cup dutch-process cocoa (such as Hershey's Special Dark)
1 & 3/4 cups powdered sugar
2 TBSP light corn syrup
3 TBSP (or more) milk
Whisk together the cocoa and powdered sugar. Add in the corn syrup and milk; whisk until smooth and the consistency of glue. Add more milk a little at a time, if needed. Use immediately.
The glaze will harden and be stackable in 12-24 hours.
Next up: Blueberry "Cake" Donut Hole Cookies. {This is more of an homage to blueberry cake donuts...they don't taste like the donut, but instead, a blueberry cookie. Look for the very tiny dried blueberries.}
2 sticks cold salted butter, cut into chunks
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 TBSP milk
3 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
1/2 cup dried small blueberries
zest of 1 lemon
2 & 1/4 cups powdered sugar
2 TBSP light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
3 TBSP (or more) milk
Preheat oven to 350. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment.
Beat the butter and sugar together until creamy. Beat in the vanilla and milk.
Add in the flour, 1 cup at a time, until incorporated. Beat in the blueberries and zest. The mixture will be crumbly, but will hold together if rolled in a ball. Add more milk, bit by bit, it needed.
Use a teaspoon cookie scoop to scoop the dough and roll into balls. Freeze for 5-10 minutes before baking.
Bake for 12 minutes or so...the cookies will look soft, but be lightly browned on the bottom. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
When the cookies are cool, make the glaze. Whisk all of the ingredients together until you have a thick, pourable glaze. Spoon over the cookies.
Be sure to hop on over to No Biggie! I know Kami has some great ideas for using the printables!
Let's hear it...what's your favorite (and least favorite) donut?
{And...do you fall asleep while watching Star Wars?}
