Cancer is probably the most concerning illnesses that any of us could possibly contract. While there are many potentially fatal diseases, millions of people have died from cancer.Read this advice to help you can learn more about it.
Eating too much sugar will make cancer cells grow. Since cancer cells require sugar for fuel, reducing the amount you eat, or eliminating it entirely can rob cancer of its energy source. This method in itself may not get rid of the cancer, but it is a good complement to other types of cancer fighting therapy.
Cancer Cells
For patients and families, cancer can easily be a very draining experience. There is always hope. Doctors can treat cancer, and in some cases, even cure it.
Avoid the consumption of sugar to prevent cancer cells.Cancer cells survive on sugar, and eliminating it from the diet can sometimes starve the cancer cells. This alone will not eliminate cancer, but it is a good complement to other types of cancer fighting therapy.
Detecting cancer early can mean the difference between life and death. There are many powerful tests and screening procedures that can provide evidence of cancer even before you experience any symptoms. For cancers like breast cancer and testicle cancer, you can perform self-exams to determine if there are any unusual masses that should be shown to your doctor.
Immediately quit smoking if you that you have cancer.A lot of people who are afflicted with cancer victims think that it's okay to keep smoking since they're already seriously ill. The carcinogens contained in cigarettes could decrease your body's chance of their body recovering from cancer.
You will feel better, look better, and have a better chance of avoiding cancer if you pay attention to your diet and get adequate exercise. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, drink a lot of water, and exercise at least 30 minutes a day to stave of cancer and improve your life.
Be aware that fruits and vegetables that you purchase at the market can sometimes be contaminated. Pesticides are used on these crops to guard against diseases and other issues from causing destruction to the crops.
A primary source of cancer is exposure to sunlight, as skin cancer is among the most commonly diagnosed forms of cancer. Protect both your face and your skin from cancer by wearing a hat and sunblock lotion on sunny days.
Unexplained Weight Loss
Some people are misinformed when it comes to cancer. They may fear that your disease is something that is contagious, or that you can no longer perform your job at work. Adopt an honest attitude.
If you want to catch cancer in its earliest stages, learn the warning signs.Things like unexplained weight loss, unexplained weight loss, cramping and thinning stools can be symptoms of colon cancer. Be sure to get checked out if you have these symptoms.
The decision to stop smoking will greatly reduce your chance of developing emphysema, lung cancer and colon cancer. Inhaling tobacco smoke moves carcinogens into your colon, while the tobacco can even help colon polyps grow larger. This is one of many reasons you should give up smoking for good.
Many people do know that wild salmon is a healthy and nutritious.
Depression will reduce the effectiveness of your immune system, opening up the chance for your cancer to grow or metastasize. They may entirely give up fighting the disease.
Be thankful for the support that you do receive.
If you have cancer, accept what you need to now so that it won't be so hard later. Get prepared to fight.
Do not be fooled into believing that alcohol helps to prevent and fight against cancer. Wine can prevent cancer due to the grapes. Drinking too much alcohol will increase your risk of getting cancer.
If your cancer medication and treatment is upsetting your stomach, eliminate coffee from your diet. Caffeine found in coffee tends to make such issues worse, and therefore you ought to stop drinking it entirely. Caffeine is also present in chocolate and some soft drinks, so avoid them also.
Help your loved one or friend who suffer from cancer by searching for people they can speak with. The Internet is a wealth of information for locating support groups, so they can find someone to talk to. This will allow the patient get their emotions out.
Take your dosage of vitamin E every day. Evidence suggests that vitamin E can help prevent certain cell changes that can lead to cancer. You can add many foods to your diet that are high in Vitamin E to reach your daily needs. A lot of them are very tasty.
It is understandable why cancer causes worry in the minds of people. Cancer can affect nearly any area of your body, and can appear at any time. Use the information contained in this article as a beginning to understand how to win over cancer if you ever are diagnosed with it.
Don't go out in the sun from 10 am to 3pm. If you need to be outside, do so before or after that period, and you will reduce your chances of developing skin cancer.Read More...

text: Home » Games » Lost Planet: Colonies (PC) Lost Planet: Colonies (PC) Stuart Davidson July 1, 2008 Games Lost Planet was one of those games that got critically panned when it was released and yet surprisingly against all odds, I thought it was a killer title. It was released in 2007 for Xbox 360 and PC and then was later ported over to Sony's Playstation 3. Colonies Edition is a greatest hits style release with extra content for the PC and Xbox 360 priced at a reasonable $29.99 in the USA. The core game is the same as before and Gaming Heaven has looked at this title before, so today I will focus on the new additions, such as the new modes, maps and other goodies. Is this game worth another look if you have played the original? Well the answer is not quite a simple yes or no. Colonies Edition contains the full campaign mode and online features which were present in the original and it adds substantially more. Let me make it clear, if you missed the original title and have 30 bucks burning a hole in your pocket this is a great investment. Not only that but if you have a nice DX10 graphics card you will be sure to get a visual tour de force, with bump mapping, shader effects galore, as well as full DX10 fur. It still looks awesome all these months later, however a large part of this is down to Capcom's relentless patching system throughout the year. It has paid off, because it looks absolutely brilliant. It is one of the reasons why our sister site DriverHeaven still use it in their graphics card testing suite. Colonies doesn't end with the campaign courtesy of the new modes which I will discuss shortly and you can now even try the game in full first person mode if it so tickles your fancy. As well as the original release campaign, Capcom has added three new single player modes by altering the base content. We now have a Score Attack game allowing you to play through single stages and stringing together combos for high scores, hopefully topping the leaderboards. This is a massive amount of fun and I found myself wasting considerable time in this mode over the last week or two. Some of you may remember I was a fan of "The Club" so this may well not come as a total surprise. As well as blasting enemies you can shoot the destructive environment to chain you combo scores which adds a somewhat frantic edge to the game play. Additionally there is a Trial Battle mode which sets you against one massive boss after another and also plays reasonably well. It is certainly not a patch on the Score Attack mode, but it adds certain value to the game and can be a welcome distraction. The last single player mode is called Off Limit. It runs considerably faster and gives you unlimited ammo and places tougher enemies against you. Yes, It is Lost Planet on crack. This will appeal to long term fans of the original (like myself) who will find this mode a hell of a lot of fun, especially some of the later levels which are ridiculously tricky. The online side of the game is a blast, because in addition to the new character models, maps and weapons there are more new game play modes. Akrid Hunter is a particular favourite of mine, why? Well some people get to control humans and the rest control the massive insects. The Akrid are tough to fight especially with human AI and quite frequently when we played, the humans were absolutely butchered. The remaining modes are remakes of classic multiplayer battles with obvious aspects to suit the Lost Planet world such as Akrid eggs instead of flags and VS mechs replacing a team of humans. With the ten brilliant new weapons the modes are reassuringly fresh even after all this time. Just remember if you get yourself a Pocket Pod (fires four rockets) then the carnage can begin….. Those of you wishing to use your old saves will be slightly disappointed as they do not transfer over as will neither your online ranking. This may not be a big deal to many, but I found it a little annoying, especially as I had invested over 200 hours to the original. Equally so, the online game is not backwards compatible, so you can't join the other maps against the online community. I am sure Capcom could have programmed some kind of backwards system to remove specific weapons when joining an older map however there is no support right now. This narrows the available audience considerably. All the achievements are new, so you can earn another 1000 possible points with Colonies Edition and PC owners can fight against 360 owners in a cross platform fragfest. While this sounds great (and it is), there are a large portion of the original Lost Planet owners who might be more than slightly miffed at this rather sexy addition. "Why could they not patch the original?", I can already hear the cries. Of course to play these cross platform matches you need a Gold Windows Live Account which as we all know requires a subscription fee. This in effect means that you can't play online unless you fork out and how many PC only gamers will be willing to do this? Very few I would reckon. Lost Planet Colonies edition is for all intents and purposes, a pimped up version of the original game. If you haven't played it yet, then this is definitely the version to get. The original was extremely good fun and was rather unfairly rated in my humble opinion especially when you see some of the extraordinarily crafted bosses with full DX10 special effects. Being devil's advocate a lot of the content may not bring much new to the table and if you beat the original and are bored of the concept then this should be missed. Playing online is a mixed bag, as you need a Gold Windows Live Account and the PC only userbase is very small, although you can, in theory play cross platform with Xbox 360 owners. If you want a well programmed, demanding, graphically luscious PC game with considerable DX10 support then this might prove more than a welcome distraction. Gameplay 85/100 If you have played the original to death, this might not prove great value, but I still loved it. Graphics 92/100 Great looking game and it still looks gorgeous thanks to many patches which are all included in this version. Audio 85/100 A strong soundtrack and some great effects and ambient sounds. Value 80/100 For $30 it is great value for a newcomer to the game, and offers quite a lot of new content to long standing fans. Overall (Not an Average) 88/100 Still a great game with some fun additions, if you missed the original then now is the time for a purchase. Share On

Do you know, What Are The Four Basic Types Of Financial Aid? If you are seeking money to get your first college degree or certification; or even if you are seeking to go back to school, it can be a costly propostion. There are many ways to finance your education, so what are the four basic types of financial aid?
Scholarships are usually given out based on academic achievement, or possession of desirable skills or qualities. Examples would be academics, art, music or sports, though there are certainly other areas for scholarship awards. Scholarships are similar to grants in that they do not need to be repaid. However, certain criteria might be necessary in order to continue a scholarship for all four years, such as maintaining a certain grade point average for example.
Loans are a form of financial assistance available through both the government or private organizations. Usually federal loans offer better terms, especially if the federal loan is subsidized. In this case you will not have to pay interest back on the loan. Private loans often have higher interest rates, so it's advisable to check the fees and fine print carefully of any loans you are considering.
Grants are usually given by the federal or state government and do not have to be paid back. Often grants can be renewed each year if the requirements are met and the availability is there. Grants differ from scholarships in that grants are usually based only on financial need.
Work Study
Another type of financial aid is called work study. Work study can be either federal or non-federal. The Federal Work Study Program allows students to work both on-campus or off-campus. Funds gained from the employment can then be used towards paying for school tuition. Students then are able to get valuable experience while working to pay for their education.
These are you looking for: basic types of speech; basic types of dinosaurs; basic types of organizational structure; basic types of pastoral care and counseling; basic types of clouds; basic types of prayer; basic types of research; basic types of computer; basic types of houses; basic types of poetry; basic types of pathogens; basic types of reits; basic types of essays; basic types of charts; basic types of economic systems; basic types of shoring; basic types of functions in mathematics; financial aid; financial aid for college; financial aid application; financial aid office; financial aid calculator; financial aid appeal letter; financial aid for single mothers; financial aid disbursement; financial aid requirements; financial aid for graduate school; financial aid eligibility; financial aid 2016 2017;financial aid calculators; financial aid definition; financial aid application 2016 2017;

What we find interesting is that so often when we start talking to people about eye health, many people start to tell a story of how they or their husband, father, grandmother etc has a pterygium or macular degeneration or cataracts etc. And we are not just talking about people in their 60s and 70s here. We have met people who have had a pterygium from the age of 29, from their thirties or their forties.
The common theme is that when they talk to an eye professional about their issue, the first piece of advice is to wear sunglasses. Unfortunately, at this stage so much damage has been done, ideally, the sunglasses ought to have been worn since childhood.
Research shows that the consequences of the sun's UV rays on the skin are widely understood, this understanding is greatly reduced when it comes to understanding the effect of the sun's UV rays on the eyes. We believe that by communicating with members about the importance of wearing sunglasses whilst outside, but perhaps even more importantly about the importance of children wearing sunglasses, we can significantly increase the demand for sunglasses thus resulting in better eye health outcomes for your members.
Of course, in addition, each pair of sunglasses sold, whether they be from our kids, young adult or adult ranges results in funding for your club.
of a person's lifetime UV exposure occurs before the age of 18.
of people associate UV with eye problems (hence the need for education).
of adults wear sunglasses (but do they know why?).
of children wear sunglasses (but this should be 100%).
We would love your club to be part of the Le Tissier Sports Clubs Fundraising program. It's a very simple, but highly beneficial, process and we would love to talk through it with you.
Please contact us to find out more.
The Le Tissier sponsorship initiative has been great for Milford Tennis Club.
We have been working with Le Tissier since 2013 and the partnership has been very beneficial both in raising funds for our new club house and also we are very keen to have our young tennis players wear sunglasses just as their parents do when they are playing tennis.
We have received compliments from other clubs during inter-club games about our fabulous sunglasses!
We see this as a long term partnership that will benefit us for many years to come.
Catherine Woodward – Milford Tennis Club – Secretary and Club Administrator
We want you to love your Le Tissier sunglasses as much as we do.
But…if it is not love at first sight we will exchange or refund them.

Alaska Wildlife Notebook Series
Alaska Wildlife Notebook Series – http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=educators.notebookseries
Representative questions that can be answered with this resource:
- Where do polar bears live?
- Where do harlequin ducks make their nests?
- How long is a flying squirrel?
From the website, "the new edition, revised by department biologists, features more than 150 different animals. Included are: big game, small game, furbearers, nongame animals, birds, fish, shellfish, reptile and amphibians. Each chapter offers insights into the life history, reproductions, feeding habits, management and conservation of Alaska's diverse wildlife."
The information contained in these PDF notebook chapters varies, but almost all contain a life history and most will include descriptions of the animal and its range. Check out the entry for polar bears and see why one dominating the streets of Juneau and Ketchikan would be laughed off the pages of a book. A few entries, such as the one for Alaskan King Crab, offer advice on how to cook the animal.

Ablation Rates and Morphological Patterns of Deciduous-tooth Enamel after Er:YAG Laser Irradiation: An In Vitro Study
Ju�a�ra S. M. Giusti/Lourdes Santos-Pinto/Rosane F. Z. Lizarelli/Vanderlei S. Bagnato
Purpose: The aim of this in vitro study was to analyze the morphology, diameter, depth, and volume of the cavities prepared in deciduous teeth using laser. Materials and Methods: Fourteen exfoliated teeth were irradiated with Er:YAG laser set at 200 mJ and 300 mJ of energy per pulse and a frequency of 10 Hz, applied for 10 s. The morphology, diameter, and depth of the cavities were measured on scanning electron micrographs using a modified cephalometric program, and the volume was calculated taking all these parameters into account. Results: The cavities presented a round shape, and a pattern of flakes or scales was observed in the ablated region. There was no significant statistical difference in the diameter of the cavities when 200 mJ (1033.37 �m) or 300 mJ (1083.75 �m) were used. The depth was statistically greater when the energy was increased (153.69 �m and 296.67 �m at 200 and 300 mJ, respectively). The volume was also increased when 300 mJ was used. Conclusion: SEM observations showed that the cavities produced were round or slightly oval. The diameter was not affected by energy level, but the higher energy level increased the depth and volume of the cavities.

Siemens Enterprise Communications Leads in Both Total Messaging Revenue and Unified Messaging Seats in the Enterprise Voice and Unified Messaging Platform Market
Siemens Enterprise Communications Leads in Both Total Messaging Revenue and Unified Messaging Seats in the Enterprise Voice and Unified Messaging Platform Market
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwire - Oct 27, 2011) - Based on its recent analysis of the enterprise voice and unified messaging platform market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Siemens Enterprise Communications with the 2011 Global Frost & Sullivan Award for Customer Value Enhancement. Having one of the strongest and most appealing unified communications and collaboration (UC&C) portfolios in the market, the company proactively creates value for its customers by offering competitive messaging solutions, maintaining a strong focus on open standards, and delivering customized packages, programs, and promotions.
Siemens Enterprise Communications' OpenScape Unified Communications (UC) Suite, a pioneering UC solution, has gained recognition as one of the most open and mature solutions in the market. It is a customizable software set that integrates with all the UC and business applications at the customer's work place.
For customers that require a robust set of UC features such as presence, IM, audio, Web and desktop video conferencing, and do not require rigorous UM capabilities, the OpenScape UC Application is the ideal solution. It delivers unified voice messages to the customer's Microsoft Outlook or IBM Lotus Notes inbox.
Meanwhile, for customers that require an enterprise-grade, secure, and scalable UM solution, OpenScape Xpressions will hold a lot of appeal. OpenScape Xpressions is the company's full-fledged UM solution that integrates with more than 15 different private branch exchanges (PBXs), including all of its own platforms as well as those from Avaya, legacy Nortel, and Cisco. Customers that use Xpressions traditionally require extended UM capabilities such as a dual-store UM deployment option or additional scalability for deployments of over 5,000 users.
To make it easy for new customers to experience UC, Siemens Enterprise Communications has introduced Xpressions UC, which provides another pathway to UC. The solution includes full-featured voicemail, fax, SMS and UM, apart from instant messaging, presence, and in-house audio and Web conferencing.
"Siemens Enterprise Communications understands that some customers may be willing to try UC features and capabilities, if offered an easy and cost-effective migration path from their existing messaging system," says Frost & Sullivan Team Leader and Senior Industry Analyst Alaa Saayed. "By integrating with the majority of email and groupware systems, OpenScape Xpressions offers customers the choice between a single- or dual-message store option on a per-user basis."
Open standards and the resultant interoperability gives vendors a solid competitive advantage, as customers look to integrate best-of-breed communications applications. For example, OpenScape Xpressions can be deployed in almost any environment, including numerous third-party telephony systems and session initiation protocol (SIP)-based software switches.
"Siemens Enterprise Communications is a frontrunner in the execution of an open communications philosophy and architecture," notes Alaa Saayed. "Not only did the company design its solutions to interoperate with multiple systems and environments, but it also allows businesses to easily and freely develop customized open applications through the use of internal developer resources and software development kits."
Siemens Enterprise Communications' OpenScape Fusion Developer Program allows system integrators, value-added resellers (VARs), developers, customers, and the company's existing partners to create innovative communications-enabled solutions that add specific value to the businesses deploying them. Comprising an interactive Web-based portal, different developer resources, diverse developer services, and co-marketing and selling opportunities, the OpenScape Fusion Developer Program is an example of an open environment that enables different communities of partners to develop their own innovative apps, making the most of products with open standard interfaces.
Siemens Enterprise Communications not only offers customers the ability to evaluate various off-the-shelf UM solutions and customize the solutions based on the level of messaging capabilities required, but also provides UM as a component of its tailored packaged communication bundles. Further, as part of the OpenPath strategy, the vendor offers programs that make it simple, easy, and affordable for installed-base and legacy third-party PBX customers to upgrade to the latest UC solutions.
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has demonstrated excellence in implementing strategies that proactively create value for its customers with a focus on improving the return on the investment. This award recognizes the company's considerable focus on enhancing the value that its customers receive, beyond simply good customer service, leading to improved customer retention and ultimately, customer base expansion.
Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research in order to identify best practices in the industry.
About Siemens Enterprise Communications
Siemens Enterprise Communications is a premier provider of end-to-end enterprise communications, including voice, network infrastructure and security solutions that use open, standards-based unified communications and business applications for a seamless collaboration experience. This award-winning "Open Communications" approach enables organizations to improve productivity and reduce costs through easy-to-deploy solutions that work within existing IT environments, delivering operational efficiencies.

Legislation 2015
House Bill 33-A – Special Session Tax Cut Package
College textbooks exempted from Florida sales tax for 1 year including books sold to ICUF students if used at a FRAG-eligible institution.
Senate Bill 2502-A – Budget or GAA Implementing Bill
Regarding community service work requirements for Bright Futures, allows a student to meet that requirement if the student completes a program of volunteer service work as approved by a district school board or the DOE for home education. The student must identify a social or civic issue or professional area that interests him/her and develop a plan for personal involvement in the area, and through papers or presentations, evaluate and reflect on the experience. Except for credit earned through service learning courses, the student may not receive remuneration or academic credit. This may include work for a business, a government internship, a nonprofit community service organization, or for a candidate for public offer. This provision expires July 1, 2016.
Senate Bill 850 – An Act Relating to Education (Scholarship Funding Organizations (SFO))
ICUF institutions became eligible to operate as a "Scholarship Funding Organizations" (SFO) under the Florida Tax Credit (FTC) Scholarship Program. The FTC Scholarship Program is Florida's K-12 school choice program. It allows taxpayers to make voluntary contributions, and Florida corporations to claim a tax credit for their contributions, to a nonprofit scholarship-funding organization (which can now include ICUF institutions) in order to facilitate K-12 school educational options. The SFO requirement to maintain a surety bond or letter of credit equal to the amount of un-disbursed funds is waived for state universities and ICUF institutions. Additionally, an ICUF institution is exempt from the initial or renewal application process to become an SFO.

A New Jersey landlord has filed a new lawsuit against a couple who claim their rented house was haunted.
Landlord Richard Lopez is seeking damages in state court from Michelle Callan and her fiancé. He says their claim will scare away potential new tenants or buyers of the house in Toms River.
The couple fled the house in March. They say they found clothes mysteriously ejected from closets and heard all kinds of strange noises — including the sound of something being dragged through the basement.
The couple and the landlord are also in litigation over the security deposit.
Lopez has said the couple bolted because they apparently couldn't afford the rent. The couple denies that.
Callan tells The Asbury Park Press the TV program "The People's Court" is offering to air their dispute and settle the matter.

Acura has made a number of airbag recalls since launching in 1986, which include the 2002 to 2003 Acura 3.2 TL and CL models, the 2003 to 2006 Acura MDX and the 2005 Acura RL. These models were recalled following an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
American Honda Motors Co., the manufacturer of the luxury vehicle brand Acura, has recalled more than 2 million cars in the United States to replace the front bag inflators on select Honda and Acura models. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, over 6 million vehicles from different auto manufacturers have been recalled because of defective Takata airbags as of October 2014. In a statement released by Honda, the Takata airbags may deploy with too much pressure. Honda is set to replace one or both of air bag inflators to prevent accidental ruptures that may cause injury.
Honda is one of the few manufacturers who communicated with the car owners about the recall. The company sent out letters to its consumers to notify and encourage owners to seek out car repairs. Because it is a safety recall from the manufacturer, the car owners do not have to pay for any fixes or replacements related to the airbag recall.
Aside from airbag recalls, Acura has also recalled other vehicle models for various reasons. These issues have included problems in the automatic shift lever, transmission problems and incorrect gross vehicle weight ratings.

Bullfrog's original Syndicate (1993) was an isometric action-adventure featuring a group of four-players hell-bent on global dominance, so it's fitting that EA's update offers a meaty four-player co-operative campaign that pays tribute to Peter Molyneux's original.
Of course, Syndicate isn't just about the past. It's also about a fictional near-future in which corporations wield all the power and will stop at nothing to enhance their interests. In the single-player campaign, the main character is raised as an operative for one such corporation. In four-player mode, you and your buddies, highly modified with weaponry and breach gizmos, create a new "Syndicate" that seeks to destroy its rivals.
And then there's the present, a time-frame that is of most immediate interest to publisher EA and developer Starbreeze, as they seek to re-introduce this long dormant game-world into the collective imagination of the gaming public.
At EA's offices in Redwood City, California, IGN played a section of the four-player campaign, which will be a major pillar when the game arrives in February.
This is no mere run-and-gun bro-blaster. Players are given one of four standard classes, and are encouraged, nay forced, to make use both of their specific skills and of the game's technical-magical elements, which allow enemies to be breached in ways that can severely diminish their health. A player's refusal to behave as a medic or sniper, for example, will most likely lead to mission failure.
Valuable perks and kill-powers can only be gained by breaching enemy soldiers and their weaponry.
In this game world, mind-chips can be hacked in order to control enemies. Bosses, once killed, yield up valuable hardware, achieved through a brief and gruesome field-operation. There's a lot to be gained by playing together.
EA's marketing operatives say want the game to fit in between the shooters du jour like Battlefield 3, and futuristic RPG Mass Effect 3, due to arrive in March. The game takes its narrative cue from this fall's hit Deus Ex: Human Revolution, but four-player gameplay comes straight out of the gaming drawer marked "Left 4 Dead", with infected zombies substituted for smart warriors and grimy streets replaced with sleek corporate offices.
Syndicate is looking like a note-worthy title for early 2012, most especially for those who enjoy true co-operative gameplay.

Jim Carrey is hoping to get even "Dumber" once again!
The actor spoke with Access Hollywood at the premiere of his latest comedy, "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone," about reprising his Lloyd Christmas role in a "Dumb & Dumber" sequel.
"We're talking about it," he told Access, about a follow-up to the 1994 comedy hit with Jeff Daniels.
"Jeff and I are really excited about it and hopefully next year we'll be able to do that [and] get it together," he continued.
Access suggested that "Burt Wonderstone" co-star Olivia Wilde could appear in the sequel.
"Oh yeah? You're doing the casting for me now are ya!" he joked. "Well, everybody should show up for this then. You never know, they could be in the movie. [Olivia is] wonderful though. She's an amazing girl. It's very rare when you see somebody who's so talented and so beautiful with the heart of a homely girl."
Catch Jim, Olivia along with Steve Carell and Steve Buscemi in "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone," which hits theaters on March 15.

The Last Mile Channel Carriage
Satellite channels have driven growth in C&S households from only four channels in the early 1990s to around 100 today. And going by present indications, with a C&S growth rate of around 17 per cent per annum cable penetration is expected to reach 67 million households by 2005.
Improving socioeconomic conditions, rapidly falling TV prices, increasing relevance of TV in household entertainment, are some of the drivers to increase penetration.
In declared terms the industry has been growing at the rate of 10 to 12 per cent and the size of the industry today in revenue terms is Rs 38 billion. Of this subscription revenue makes up RS 36 billion, local advertising revenue RS 1.25 billion and Internet over cable RS 60 million.
There are some key issues which govern an industry still in its nascent stage of development. These are: mushrooming growth of mom-and-pop operations, lack of addressability in the traditional cable business, subscriber base for pay channels becoming a point of negotiation.
The battleground in broadcasting business today has shifted from the skies to the ground. Effective distribution and efficient addressability is paramount to the success of a channel.
And in this scenario - HE WHO DISTRIBUTES WELL IS KING.
And it is the cable operator who is the critical cog in this equation. For it is he who decides on:
a)channels to be shown to subscribers;
b)frequency at which the channel is transmitted;
c)in case of pay channels, he decides how he gets reimbursed from the subscriber and at times the broadcaster faces a huge under-reporting of actual subscribers with disclosure ratios as low as 10-20 per cent.
As for broadcasters, their primary targets are producing, acquiring quality content, maximising advertising revenue through higher reach and viewership.
And for this, the relationship with the cable operator is the single most important factor in deciding the success of any channel.
Because a channel's carriage ultimately depends on availability to both the cable operator and consumer as well as viewability at the subscriber end.
When discussing viewability, the type of television set also has to be considered. TVs receive signals on three major frequency bands. The Prime Band which is available to all TVs including B&W TVs; the tunable S-band viewable on all CTV's and the non-tunable S -band or Hyper band viewable on new colour TVs.
Statistics culled from surveys in 48 cities show that of an estimated 8.62 million subscribers, only 3.81 million can receive the hyper band signal which automatically excludes 4.81 subscribers from a broadcaster's list if he is transmitting on the Hyper band.
This means that efficiency of distribution is more important and critical than width of distribution. With the majority of TV sets lying within the 300MHz band (ie 36 channels) it is obvious that everyone is jostling for this space. Effective distribution therefore implies not only the ability to better place but also maintain the space for the channels.
This can easily be understood if we look at what sort of viewability was achieved by three channels covered in the survey. Of the 8.62 million subscribers in 48 cities, 1.53 million subscribers couldn't view Star Plus; 2.49 million couldn't see SAB TV and a whopping 6.15 million subscribers had no access to Aaj Tak.
Efficiency of Distribution:
In terms of channel carriage, the criticality of distribution cannot be underestimated. With the majority of the TV sets lying within the 300MHz band (i.e. 36 channels) it is obvious that everyone is jostling for this space.
Effective Distribution is not only about being able to get a better place for your channel but also maintaining the space for those channels.
This means that efficiency of distribution is more important and critical than width of distribution.
Cable v/s DTH:
DTH will penetrate 3 million homes in a span of three years. Revenues in this period would be approximately RS 18 billion.
However, investments required would include Rs100 million up-front as an entry fee and a 10 per cent share of subsequent revenues with the government. A bank guarantee of RS 400 million for a 10-year license.
Cost to the consumer - Capital expenditure of RS 10,000 to RS 15,000 towards set top box and dish antennae. Subscription fee of RS 500 to 600 per month.
Cable on the other hand, is well entrenched in India and poised for a leap into another plane. The sheer cost efficiency added to the fact that it is already present in 35 million homes across the country cannot be wished away. And upgradation of the current network can itself provide other value added services.
Cable is clearly a more economically accessible system and therefore, likely to remain predominant at least in the foreseeable future.
In conclusion: Efficient and effective channel carriage and monitoring capability with LAST MILE INFLUENCABILITY is the real key to higher TRP's and by extension higher advertising revenues.

Want To Take Your Selfie To The Mayonnaise Level?
This whole selfie trend seems to be getting more and more out of control. Not only do we share them with everyone on the planet, they are starting to take a larger part of the stage in popular culture. So why not just go all the way and have your selfie portrait done in mayo on your burger? Okay. This "trend" is an advertising stunt, not something headed into your kitchen.
You have to get pretty creative when you are trying to sell a condiment that has been around for decades. Hellmann's, the mayonnaise giant, along with the advertising firm Ogilvy & Mather London, has produced a new advertising campaign based on the current trend of Life Hacks. The campaign, titled "Hellman's Summer Hacks," features small pieces of digital content to be used in connection with social media showing how to make outdoor eating more fun.
The campaign includes a number of short film clips and images which shows ideas such as how to turn an empty Hellmann's jar into a picnic, an easy way to keep burgers warm after cooking and a selection of new recipes using the popular mayonnaise brand, and using mayonnaise to print a "selfie" onto a burger.
No longer is Hellman's just the condiment of a great sandwich or the savory glue that binds a potato salad together. It has jumped into the 21st century on the selfie bandwagon. Or has it?
Technically, these photos are not selfies. Watch the video and you will see that it is the printer tech who takes the photograph, uploads it into a computer, and then prints the image onto a burger. Still, it is pretty cool, and tons of fun. This burger shack isn't coming to you anytime soon, though, for it was just for the ad.
One of the problems I see with the mayo printing on a burger (or any sandwich really) is that it just doesn't put enough of the condiment on to satisfy. I am one of those people who is uncompromising in my enjoyment of mayonnaise. The other is that it would be difficult to put the bun down and start eating yourself. Even if you take a selfie or your selfie, you just can't have your burger and eat it too.
Since these problems don't really exist, I am just going to slather my ham sandwich with Hellman's, sit back, and enjoy watching the video a few more times.

Here are the three things you should not have missed:
Power Play spoke with Minister of State for Democratic Reform, Tim Uppal, who said that they gave the list of reference questions to the Supreme Court in order to "accelerate" reform after opposition delay for the sake of delay and the Quebec court reference on the topic. (Uppal was entirely wrong about opposition delay, considering that the bill hasn't been brought forward for debate by the House Leader). Don Martin then spoke with opposition MPs Craig Scott and Sean Casey about the reference question, and while Scott was correct in that there are concerns about constitutionality, he also posited the dubious theory that Harper was avoiding Senate reform so that his party could "govern from the grave" in the Senate should they lose the next election. Casey's theory was more plausible – that actual reform would mean sitting down with the premiers, which Harper is loath to do.
Calling in the RCMP on "live abortions":
Power & Politics spoke with Conservative MP Maurice Vellacott, who along with two other backbenchers, wrote to the RCMP to investigate "live abortions" as murder, saying that they believed there were cases of foetuses being born during the procedure, and once they were out of the womb and legally human, their deaths could be treated as homicides. When Hannah Thibedeau challenged his facts and figures, Vellacott insisted that his numbers were accurate. Thibedeau followed up with NDP MP Niki Ashton, who said that the PM isn't denouncing these MPs enough for her liking.
As part of his series of interviews with ambassadors in Ottawa, Don Martin spoke with Russian ambassador Georgi Manedov, who has been in Canada for the past 10 years and finds us to be a romantic country that democratic Russia can learn a lot from. As today was also the day in which the sentencing hearing for Navy spy Jeffrey Delisle wrapped up, Manedov said that he learns everything about spying these days from journalists and the media, and described the Delisle incident as a "bump in the road." Manedov added that there really wasn't too much to be spied on in Canada, and that our countries already share information. Manedov said that the fact most Canadians don't know about Russia is the fact that they export oil to us.

Talk of UNH logo change brings out passionsBy SHAWNE K. WICKHAM
New Hampshire Sunday News
May 25. 2013 12:10AM
DURHAM — A "passionate and mixed reaction" to proposals for a new logo for the University of New Hampshire has prompted university officials to seek out more input from the community.
A statement released Friday from UNH President Mark Huddleston noted that the decision to redesign the current logo, which features the clock tower at Thompson Hall, has sparked "considerable creative input" from students, faculty, staff, alumni and others in the UNH community.
Huddleston announced the creation of an advisory panel of all such "stakeholders" to offer guidance on the issue. He said he hopes a decision on the logo change can be announced in early fall.
The university recently hired the New York design firm Chermayeff & Geismar & Haviv to redesign the logo. Three blue-and-white designs are featured on the UNH web site, and members of the UNH community have been weighing in on their choice — or rejection — of those three.
Huddleston said some also have offered their own logo designs, while others "would prefer no change at all."
Because of the impassioned reactions, UNH officials have decided to keep the comments period open through July 1.
Among the recent comments that came in from students and recent alumni about the three proposed designs:
• "Being an alum and current graduate student, I find it hard to pick a new logo because I love the current one. However, if I had to choose, I would pick concept #1. Thanks for allowing input!"
• "Those all look terrible compared to the current iconic logo."
• "My vote would be for the second logo, with the U holding the seal together and the N and H on the inside. It seems, to me, the most professional and collegiate. The third seems a bit too cartoonish?"
• "The first was lame and boring, and I wouldn't have known what I was looking at if someone hadn't said UNH. The second was unintelligible. The third is garish and really just looks awful."
• "I quite liked the third logo from the presentation; I think it is aesthetically pleasing and symbolically representative of, not only the school, but the state as well. I found the first two logos to be visually unappealing and lacking in creativity."
• "Logo #3: I like the fact that it incorporates the three grants that UNH has; however, the lack of the 'U' in the top left corner of the shield makes me feel as if we are advertising for the state of New Hampshire, not the University of New Hampshire. If the top left corner read 'UNH,' that would be a great choice to represent our University."
Huddleston said the reaction shows how deeply folks across New Hampshire care about its flagship public university and the symbols that represent it.
"UNH is a world-class institution competing on a national and international stage. We must present ourselves with real clarity and consistency both to our friends and to those who know little of our mission or aspirations," he said. "Like any serious enterprise in a competitive marketplace, we must invest in and manage our brand identity."
The university seal and athletic logo, which features a wildcat, will not change.
Information about the selection process and images of the proposed designs can be found at: bit.ly/unhgraphics.

It's a rare meeting between the Carolina Hurricanes and the Nashville Predators when it's not in pre-season. The Predators bested Carolina on January 7th by a score of 5-2 with an astounding 4 PP goals. Ryan Ellis also scored his first NHL goal in the game.
While the Predators are seated solely in 5th place of the Western Conference, the Carolina Hurricanes are mired in the basement, but interestingly enough, not technically out of playoff contention being only 9 points out of 8th place.
This has trap written all over it but the Predators have some new faces that should help immediately and establish plenty of chemistry before going into the playoffs. Game time is 6 P.M. tonight and you can catch all the action on 102.5 The Game (Radio) or FS Tennessee (T.V.).
This Year's Series: 1-0-0 Home (1-0-0) Away (0-0-0)
Looking at the Hurricanes: Aside from superstar Eric Staal and rookie sensation Jeff Skinner, Carolina boasts some of the most underrated talent in the NHL. Players like Jussi Jokinen, Tuomo Ruutu, Chad LaRose, Brandon Sutter and Jiri Tlusty are the backbone of what should have been a great NHL team this year.
The real downside has been a lack of defense throughout the season where said superstar Eric Staal is a -15. Jiri Tlusty and Tim Gleason lead the team with a +6 rating.
Looking at the Predators: Sloppy play and too much time in their own zone might have cost the Predators a victory against a very hungry L.A. squad, but the hockey gods favored the Gold and Blue to a tune of 2-1 over the Kings.
Hal Gill was everywhere on the ice and huge props to Jack Hillen (who has been a mainstay in the press box as of late) saving a sure goal by diving in front of the open net to block the shot. It was the Bridgestone Performance of the Night.
Pekka Rinne saved many an attempt last night and bailed out the Predators as he has done for much of the year. While the Predators were playing to hang on, Rinne was aggressive and only a pinball wizard shot from Dustin Brown spoiled his shutout of a very offensively-gifted team.
For the Hurricanes to win: Take advantage that Nashville played the night before. If the Canes can forecheck and drive the Predators to play on their heels they might have a chance to play spoiler on the last game of the "Murderer's Row" tour.
Look for Eric Staal's line to get the most attention so aforementioned players like Ruutu, LaRose and Tlusty can break out and score by committee. Peters will be in net tonight so he has to bring his A game to stop the Predators and their newly acquired point producers.
For the Predators to win: As always in the second game of a back-to-back, use short shifts. Roll all four lines and with the addition of fresh bodies like Gaustad and A. Kostitsyn, the Predators will be looking to build chemistry and start firing pucks from each offensive line.
Since Rinne started last night, Anders Lindback will be in net tonight and will have to stand tall between the pipes for a win. Lindback hasn't started a game since February 2nd where he got shelled by Philadelphia. If Lindback can jump in and take the reigns, Nashville may complete February almost as strong as they finished January and comfortably in control of their playoff hopes.

NASA Astronauts Make Rare Christmas Eve Spacewalk For Critical Repairs
For two space station astronauts it was like a real-life "Gravity," just without Sandra Bullock and George Clooney and the whole having to survive in space after an accident.
During a rare Christmas Eve spacewalk – their second in four days – U.S. astronauts Rick Mastracchio and Michael Hopkins ventured outside the International Space Station (ISS) in hopes of wrapping up urgent repairs to a cooling system.
This was only the second Christmas Eve spacewalk in NASA history.
NASA ordered up the spacewalks to revive a critical cooling loop at the ISS. All nonessential equipment had to be turned off when the line conked out Dec. 11, and many science experiments halted.
Mastracchio and Hopkins removed a faulty ammonia pump during Saturday's outing. On Tuesday, they worked to install a new pump 260 miles above the planet.
"It's like Christmas morning opening up a little present here," Mastracchio said as he checked his toolkit.
Mission Control in Houston was in a festive mood during Tuesday's spacewalk. Tabletop Christmas trees, Santa dolls and red Santa caps decorated the desks.
"It is Christmas Eve ... and in this holiday way of giving, we're giving you a spacewalk today," said commentator Rob Navias.
NASA's only previous Christmas Eve spacewalk occurred in 1999 during a Hubble Space Telescope repair mission.
But NASA's most memorable Christmas Eve was back on Dec. 24, 1968. Apollo 8 astronauts read from Genesis, the first book of the Bible, as they orbited the moon on mankind's first lunar flight.
Space station managers considered waiting until January for the repair spacewalks, so an unmanned rocket could blast off with supplies from Virginia. But flight controllers were unable to patch the cooling line by remote control, and the orbiting outpost was considered in too vulnerable a state to put off the spacewalking repairs. The delivery mission was bumped, instead, to January.
A bad valve in the ammonia pump caused the breakdown.
Another team of spacewalking astronauts installed that pump just three years ago, and engineers are perplexed as to why it didn't last longer. NASA hopes to salvage it in the years ahead.
The 2010 replacement required three spacewalks because of the difficulty in removing pressurized ammonia fluid lines. This time, NASA reduced the pressure and the task was simplified, allowing the astronauts to get ahead Saturday. Although three spacewalks were scheduled this time around, Mastracchio and Hopkins' advance work allowed NASA to squeeze everything into two, barring any problems Tuesday.
The second spacewalk was supposed to take place Monday, but was delayed a day to give Mastracchio time to switch to another suit. He inadvertently hit a water switch in the air lock at the end of Saturday's excursion, and a bit of water entered his suit, making it unusable this week.
During the rest of the spacewalk, however, the suits remained dry. Last July, an astronaut almost drowned when water from his suit's cooling system flooded his helmet. Makeshift snorkels and absorbent pads had been installed in the suits as a precaution.
A Moscow-led spacewalk, meanwhile, is set for Friday. Two Russian crew members will install new cameras and fresh experiments outside.
"Gravity," directed by Mexican Alfonso Cuarón and starring Bullock and Clooney, premiered this year to rave reviews. The space thriller has been nominated multiple times for the Golden Globes, SAG Awards and Critics Choice.

Tony: Good morning, TNT! Today is Wednesday, July 29, 2015. We never, ever, ever thought we'd still be here today. We thought we'd be in Vegas by now!
I'll get straight to the facts, and we can discuss it a little bit. Everything is done. The Iraqi Parliament yesterday and they passed all the laws we were concerned about: the new investment and banking laws will be announced along with the RV. Tariffs and taxes are effective on Saturday, 1. August. None of that has changed. They will be taxing cars, boats, planes, homes, cell phones… everything. Here is the thing. The Council of Basra are refusing to renew the application for ____________. [Sorry, didn't catch this point.] They are going to Baghdad and saying they don't have the money/economy to do this. The GOI will say "you are still doing it and by Saturday you will have the money to do it." There is one more meeting today and after that they can make the announcement any time. What we got from Iraq is this: "This will be over, Iraq will be international by August 2nd." That is what he said. I think the plan is for most people to see it (here) by Monday, 3. August.
Pam said that Thursday through Sunday will be a holiday in Iraq due to high temperatures. I'm in Sacramento right now. Today is 107d, tomorrow is 105, and it's been in triple digits all week. There has been no holiday here! They have been burning up all week, and all summer, for ten years. This is a four-day window and having it as a holiday makes it the perfect storm, with the taxes/tariffs, UN operational rates on Friday, with people getting paid on their cards, etc. Its' the perfect storm this weekend. Everyone should be excited. People in Iraq are protesting in the street today – they are tired of hearing 'in a few days'. So the people in Iraq feel they will see it no later than Sunday. So we are in a good spot!
I've been asked not to discuss rates today. We have discussed them the last five calls, so we shouldn't have to discuss them today. I would like to wish Jay a happy 31th birthday. Pam was supposed to give me a list of the mods because I wanted to say thank you to all of you, in case this is our last call. Thank you to everyone who has participated on the calls, in the forum and in the chat room. Thank you for the last five years we have been here together.
352 caller: I've been involved in this for about five years. I used to listen to you on PTR. I've talked to you three times in the last five years. Last time, you hung on me, and you have 404 on there every all, asking the same frickin' questions.
Tony: Why did I hang up on you?
Caller: You just hung the phone up and it rubbed me the wrong way because I had a good question to ask.
Tony: I didn't say anything? I just hung up the phone? If I called your name several times and you were on a speakerphone or there was a delay, then I might have hung up because I had to move on. It was nothing personal.
Caller: Anyway, my brother and I appreciate what you do, I just wanted to bring that to your attention. You talked about when this thing happens, you would put your money into 1%. How much money would you do that, and for how long? I mean, put your money into a 1% account to accumulate some interest while we're waiting to see how this shakes out.
Tony: I don't know anything about that, and I'm surely going to get more than 1% interest. If you decide to put it into an interest-bearing account while you work out what to do with it, well, what else are you going to do with your money? Some people aren't going to touch theirs for six months. That's what some people are negotiating when they exchange. I would leave it in the bank and collect interest until I decide what my plan is – how much into mutual funds, investments or whatever.
Caller: I would rather have it in CDs or something higher. Vegas, Vegas, Vegas!
707 caller: You've never hung up on me! I have lost the call a few times of my own accord. I don't know what we would do without these talks – we would be in a world of hurt. [Appreciation] I know DC is still contributing. The hardest part to believe is how you guys can keep doing this as volunteers, to give us information and hope and keep us moving. Vegas, Vegas, Vegas!
919 caller: I'm in NY; I have a house in NC, and this is a NC phone. Hopefully I'll get to see you in NC soon. Today is my birthday, and I'm 66 today! [Appreciation] I would sure love to have an 800 number today – that would be wonderful! It sounds like really good news, with fireworks. Vegas, Vegas, Vegas!
Tony: Tell your husband to enjoy your birthday and extend it through the weekend!
301 caller: I'm super-fantastic! You said that if it goes on Sunday, when will we know?
Tony: I'm hoping we know on Sunday!
Caller: I hope you'll be up all night reviewing that package so you can tell us what to do.
Tony: The bonds should be released by Sunday, and the taxes/tariffs will be active in Iraq as well. So it should be done for sure by Sunday.
Caller: That's all I needed, Tony! Vegas, Vegas, Vegas!
860 caller: You did answer my question about how people in Iraq are reacting to promises that have not been fulfilled yet. I know they are suffering immensely. Let's hope for their sake that this is THE DAY!
404 caller: This is One-Question Wednesday, so that should make more people happy. What is the latest your sources are telling me about what announcements we should be looking for?
Tony: They are saying that there may not be a public announcement for days after this has been released. You can, but it's probably just going to happen because that is the way they want it. They will be celebrating, and the governments/banks will know, and I have too many resources NOT to know what we already know. Non-believers may not know until days after this has happened.
Caller: [Appreciation] Vegas, Vegas, Vegas!
360 caller: It's my first time – this is great! Taxes? I know a person who got the West Coast office started 30 years ago; he's involved as a dinarian, and he says it's illegal to charge tax on a currency exchange. That's from someone who was very involved in taxes for over 30 years.
Tony: Can you ask him to look at the tax code? If you do an exchange of over $200 (profit), that is taxable under the tax code now. We just don't know how they will treat this exchange. He can look it up.
Caller: I'll ask him and get back to you. Vegas, Vegas, Vegas! I'm originally from Sacramento so I know how hot it can get. At least it's dry heat.
406 caller: I forgot my question. Have a great day! Vegas, Vegas, Vegas!
410 caller: Oh, hi! Woo! Vegas, Vegas, Vegas! I will tell you, it feels like we just need to giggle about some things. I saw this troll saying that you are getting paid for every time we say Vegas, Vegas, Vegas! So I'm saying it again in hopes you will get a lot of money!
Tony: Wait a minute – that's a new one! You mean I'm getting paid every time YOU say Vegas, Vegas, Vegas!? Now who does that make sense to? OMG.
Caller: There is nothing to ask today; it looks like it's right on our doorstep. [Appreciation]
Tony: Send that link to Pam so we can put it in the history books.
Caller: I think it was on Twitter, and I've seen it for a few days now. You can search for it.
Tony: That is too funny!
Caller: See you in Vegas, Vegas, Vegas!
636 caller: I'm spectacular, and I know you're super-fantastic. I didn't know you were working for the Vegas Chamber of Commerce! I was talking to our daughter-in-law last night, and she asked if I would go to the exchange with her. In the past, you said that nobody could go except maybe an attorney; what do you think about a family member going to help someone with their exchange?
Tony: Rules are made to be broken, and nothing beats a failure but a try. I would go in there and they would have to tell me No.
Caller: It's so helpful to bounce things off you. It's been almost four years for us, and I know we would not have maintained our faith if not for you. Vegas, Vegas, Vegas!
941 caller: One thing the tax person was saying… the tax law says that if you go out of the country and come back in, anything over $200 profit is taxable. We didn't go out of the country and come back in, so if anyone has to pay that tax it's the people who brought the currency into the country. I said that two years ago, and everyone said I was crazy.
Tony: You might have solved everyone's problems, but they might delay this for another month to write a new law!
Caller: If the congress people and elite didn't pay tax, I don't think they will pass a tax on themselves. People read things into things and cause problems with their interpretation.
Tony: All the time they interpret it the way they want to.
Caller: Have a good day and have fun in Vegas, Vegas, Vegas!
Jerry on Skype: I'm here! I'm fantastic and glad to be back on the call with you. I have one question today. When I first got into this, I went with an investment group and bought my first dinar with this person. Since then I haven't been able to get in touch with these people. I went to Plan B, and purchased some more dinar for myself. What was supposed to happen is that with the RV I'm supposed to go there, exchange and get my money. I purchased dinar from them, but they never gave it to me physically. I haven't been able to contact them since. The one thing positive about this is I have a document saying they sold me four million dinar. They don't answer my phone calls, but I have dinar, zim, rupiah and dong, and I have enough to put together an investigative team… the person didn't show me ID, but I know from other sources who this person is.
Tony: More than likely, it was illegal for this person to sell you dinar without a license, so they will probably be arrested after this RV. However, you will probably be in a courtroom for ten years. This person will probably end up in prison, and you'll have an even harder time getting it from prison.
Caller: Yes, I've already reconciled myself to that. When I was first told about this, I was so excited and I wanted to get involved immediately. After I had time to reflect, I realized that I had to do this the correct way, buying from dealers who are licensed and legally able to sell this currency. I know the other is a lost cause, and that's why I worked out a Plan B and Plan C.
Tony: You can lodge your complaint with the FBI even before this comes down.
Caller: Vegas, Vegas, Vegas!
352 caller: Good morning, Tony!
Tony: No, you cannot talk about him.
Caller: Do you think you have the most naïve audience on the planet given that it's always arriving but still hasn't got here?
Tony: I think we are all hopeful, because the information is very positive.
Caller: Do you think these bonds are the catalyst for this RV going down?
Tony: It's my understanding that the RV has to happen for the bonds to be paid out. The bonds will happen a day or two after the RV, because they need the RV, not the other way round. Nobody is talking about stopping this; they talked about the times when it could go and should go. Everyone is ecstatic about Parliament and what's going on there. Yes, they have a predetermined time and day, so we'll see when that is. I don't hear anyone talking about how and when it could be stopped. And I will not tell you who I get my information from, because then they would be locked up. Next!
601 caller: Regarding the laws that were passed yesterday, did any of them have to do with counterfeiting? And where is Maliki?
Tony: It said all investment and banking laws, and I thought the counterfeiting laws were passed months ago. That should be already taken care of. My understanding is that Maliki is sitting in Baghdad. I think it will all happen at one time.
562 caller: [Appreciation] Looks like we are at the end… thanks to all those in Baltimore who got me into this. Vegas, Vegas, Vegas!
936 caller: A bunch of us were sitting around talking, and wonder if you can reiterate something for us. With the news for Kurdistan and the cards and their markets, is it possible that it has gone in-country and just hasn't been announced?
Tony: Yes, in Kurdistan! They did it, but others in Iraq still haven't seen the new rates. Contractors themselves got paid by Iraq in November, and in the last few weeks some fo their workers got paid and half of his people promptly quit. But we are still here today.
Caller: What about the regular citizens around Baghdad – didn't they get some money?
Tony: The entire banking system was activated last week to work with the cards. They are using their cards, with different rates on different cards. I don't know how their system is set up, with different rates (in dollars) yet only dinars being put on each cards. If they got the new rate in Kurdistan, and they changed the prices, then they are still making the same value, but it doesn't make sense in terms of the rest of the country. The RV is not here until the whole country is on the same rate. Obviously it is going in some parts of Iraq, but every single citizen has not got the rate on their cards. They have cards with money on them, but everyone didn't get the same rate throughout Iraq. That is what this new system is supposed to have – the same rate, although not the same amount.
Caller: So have they changed up or down?
Tony: The changes have been minimal in the last few weeks. Pamela?
Pam: I'm here! I was at the other end of the house… <laughter> I want to thank everyone, and remind you to take your time. Don't' set your hair on fire and run round like crazies, relax and go with what you know. Don't use people you find online; do your due diligence and BE CAREFUL. You will be gazillionaires and a lot of charming scallywags will want to take advantage of you.
RayRen: Someone has a bigmouth and messed up my arrangement with the Chamber of Commerce in Las Vegas! <laughter> Continue to enjoy When-Will-I-See-This Wednesday. I'll see some of you in Tennessee.
Tony: It is the real deal. I don't know if this is our last call or not, but it has good potential to be the last call like this. What I can tell you is that we will be here to help you as long as we can. If they want us to do a final call, we will be there to help ou get the most out of their process. If not, we will talk about it for the next ten days, if we can. If not, we have discussed it a million different ways and rate and places to go to find the rates, time-frames and all the rest. Even if things change, if you take the time to listen and think about it, you will be fine. When I was building and trying to plan, I would go ten steps out. Look at where you want to be, say 100K in ten months, then that means you need to make 10K per month. That means I need to bring in $500 per day for 20days, which means $50 per hour for ten hours per day. Work it back, in steps, and make sure it makes sense to you, and understanding every step. You need to understand every step; it needs to be logical and proven, if possible. You need to know what fits into YOUR plan, not what someone else plans for you. You need to know what you're getting into and what you want to get out of a negotiation. You need to have your Ten Things all ready, because the moment you see that tweet, life will never be the same. That time could come any time through Friday or through Sunday –t hat's what they are saying. Let's hope it happens and nothing gets in the way. The different governments and banking systems are all ready for this today, and I hope this is the last call like this. If necessary, we'll be here Friday and we'll do the call. Thanks, everybody!

Now that hip hop, EDM and DJ culture rule the world, the question can be asked: Is rock 'n' roll dead, finally, after all this time? The answer: yes and no. It's no longer driving the mainstream, but like blues and jazz and a lot of other music genres that New Orleans cares deeply about, rock will always exist as an option. In fact, for Louisianians of a certain skin tone and economic class, it's become a legacy music, the sound of the heartland, a tradition that at this point starts somewhere around the advent of Southern rock in the early '70s and reaches its peak in the Metairie metal scene of the '90s.
So in a lot of ways, Vermilion Whiskey's EP is a traditionalist album, and not just because of the third-hand blues elements present in the vocals of "TJ" Riordan. It comes off like cock rock at first, but a closer listen reveals that these six songs only begin there, taking the aforementioned path from Skynyrd into Priest into COC. It's a synthesis too smart for hard rock, too nimble and rootsy to pass as straight metal, but also not self-conscious like stoner rock or pretentious like retro grunge. If anything, it's a new style of biker rock, if only because TJ's howl resonates so much like a modern exurban blues, a voice for the day-to-day struggles of poor semi-suburban white folks with no options but to live as hard as possible, just to feel like they're finally part of something. He moves from growl to howl to wail easily, landing somewhere in between Rob Zombie and Chris Cornell, not just stylistically but emotionally—living and playing hard as a way of staring down the abyss. You hate to bring politics into an arena that's too smart for it, but if 2017 is about the revenge of the underclass, then Vermilion Whiskey, in all their diamond-hard, burnout glory, are the soundtrack for people just starting to realize they've slipped nearer the bottom of the totem pole.

Lunch at Abe
We browse the menu and ordered Sigarillas sa Gata at Hipon, Liempo Hamonado, and Leche Flan. Sorry, I can't remember the exact price.
While waiting, they served this complimentary appetizer which my son enjoyed.
I always cook pork hamonado at home but I haven't tried using pork belly so next time I will try that and I will imitate the pineapple slices in their Liempo Hamonado.
I don't cook Sigarillas sa Gata at Hipon at home so this is the dish that I really enjoyed.
My son who loves dessert finished this Leche Flan, I had a bite and it is not overly sweet. I hope next visit would be on Pampanga branch.
After our lunch, we bought scooter + helmet + arm/knee protector for my son. This is his grandmother's gift last Christmas.

Yes, it's normal. There are millions of worm infected zombie boxes on the Internet that probes computers for presence and vulnerabilities all the time. I use to get a couple of hundred break-in attempts per day on HTTP only. I don't even monitor attempted TCP connections, but I'd say it's a safe bet that they are many.

I noticed many attempts, one about every thirty seconds, or maybe less. Most are directed to ports 1026-UDP and 1027-UDP. Occasionally they attempt ports 1434-TCP/HTTPS, 22-TCP, 1433-TCP/Ms-sql-s. Also get unknown ports-ICMP. Most are from the same IPs, must have bots running all the time. I get many from my own ISP, but most come from China.
I have no idea what these are, but I do know they do not get through.

Real Leaders…what are they? Do they have to be famous? What characteristics do they all have?
I believe that the best of the best – those who leave their footprint on this world in a way that resonates throughout the eternities are those who live their lives as directed by their hearts.
What does your heart tell you? Does it speak to a certain calling? Does it call you to a certain work?
I believe that as we listen to our hearts, our hearts will speak to of us our purpose. We all are meant to lead in our own way. That doesn't mean we have to be world famous or even the best educated. It does mean we have to be willing to listen and then follow through with our "heart directives".
I challenge you to listen to your heart today and take note of what it tells you! Just think about the difference Mother Teresa made in this world because she listened to her heart! I hope you enjoy the 20 Facts about Mother Teresa!
20 Facts about Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa is a household name for her good works, but many people don't know much about her beyond "nun who helped the poor." Here are 20 facts about Mother Teresa.
1. Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu was born Aug. 26, 1910, in Macedonia to a financially comfortable Albanian family (they owned two houses, one of which they lived in). Her father died when she was 8, ending her family's financial security.
2. Agnes was fascinated with missionaries from an early age, and by 12 she knew that she would commit herself to a religious vocation.
3. When she was 18, Agnes left home and joined the Sisters of Loreto in Rathfarnham, Ireland.
4. Although she lived to be 87, she never saw her mother or sister again after the day she left for Ireland.
5. After a year learning English in Ireland, Agnes transferred to the Sisters of Loreto convent in Darjeeling, India.
6. She took her vows as a nun in 1931, choosing the name Teresa to honor Saints Therese of Lisieux and Teresa of Avila.
7. Therese of Lisieux, the patron saint of Australia, is also the patron of missionaries, florists and AIDS sufferers, among others. Spain's patron saint, Teresa of Avila, is also the patron of religious orders and lacemakers.
8. Sister Teresa began teaching history and geography in Calcutta at St. Mary's, a high school for the daughters of the wealthy. She remained there for 15 years and enjoyed the work, but was distressed by the poverty she saw all around her.
9. In 1946 Teresa traveled to Darjeeling for a retreat. It was on that journey that she realized what her true calling was: "I heard the call to give up all and follow Christ into the slums to serve him among the poorest of the poor."
10. It took two years of preparation before she was able to begin doing the work she felt compelled to do. She needed to receive permission from the Sisters of Loreto to leave the order – while retaining her vows – as well as permission from the Archbishop of Calcutta to live and work among the poor. She also prepared by taking a nursing course.
11. In 1948 Sister Teresa set aside her nun's habit – adopting instead the simple sari and sandals worn by the women she would be living among – and moved to a small rented hovel in the slums to begin her work.
12. Teresa's first year in the slums was particularly hard. She was used to a life of comparative comfort, and now she had no income and no way to obtain food and supplies other than begging. She was often tempted to return to convent life, and had to rely on her determination and faith to get herself through it.
13. One of her first projects was to teach the children of the poor – drawing on her experience with teaching the children of the rich. She didn't have any equipment or supplies this time, but she taught them to read and write by writing in the dirt with sticks.
14. In addition to promoting literacy, Teresa taught the children basic hygiene. She visited their families, inquiring about their needs and helping provide for them when she could.
15. Word began to spread about Mother Teresa's good works, and soon she had other volunteers wanting to help. By 1950 she was able to start the Mission of Charity – a congregation dedicated to caring for "the hungry, the naked, the homeless, the crippled, the blind, the lepers, all those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared for throughout society, people that have become a burden to the society and are shunned by everyone."
16. She went on to open a hospice for the poor, a home for sufferers of leprosy, and a home for orphans and homeless youths.
17. Mother Teresa was honored with many awards throughout her life, from the Indian Padma Shri in 1962 to the inaugural Pope John XXIII Peace Prize in 1971 to Albania's Golden Honour of the Nation in 1994… and, most famously, the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979.
18. She refused the traditional Nobel honor banquet, instead requesting that the $192,000 budget be given to help the poor of India.
19. She continued her work with the poor for the rest of her life, leading the Missionaries of Charity until just months before her death Sept. 5, 1997.
20. After being beatified in 2003, Mother Teresa was canonized on Sep. 4, 2016. In a ceremony at St. Peter's Square, Pope Francis declared her a saint, yet noted, "With great spontaneity, I think we will continue to call her Mother Teresa."
