Supervisor Andy Stewart Writes About Preserve Orangetown Organizational Meeting
Preserving Orangetown's Quality Of Life
by Supervisor Andy Stewart
On May 12th I joined an overflowing crowd for an information session about organizing a Preserve Orangetown group, similar to the Preserve Ramapo group that has long fought against corruption in that town. It was inspiring, and extremely encouraging to see around 600 town residents filling the Pearl River Elks hall, determined to work together to preserve the things that are great about our community. This level of community engagement is critical to maintain.
I appreciated the remarks by Peter Bradley, Michael Parietti, and the other organizers who emphasized the importance of putting aside partisan differences and coming together on the issue that unites us all—preserving Orangetown and the quality of life that drew us all here to begin with! They're right. This issue truly crosses party lines.
For instance, County Executive Ed Day, a Republican, has made it a priority to have the county crack down on illegal and unsafe multifamily housing (earlier this spring I met with Orangetown's building department and staff from the county health department to help them coordinate on this effort), and root out Medicaid fraud, while Democrats Ellen Jaffee and Ken Zebrowski have led efforts in the State Assembly to get a monitor with veto power appointed to the East Ramapo School District and to have the state take over building inspections for Spring Valley and Ramapo since these municipalities have shown they can't handle the responsibility.
Point being, it doesn't matter what your party is, it matters where you stand on these issues.
Here in Orangetown, we found unanimous bipartisan agreement on the Town Board to pass an amendment to our existing solicitation ordinance that enacts a Do Not Knock Registry and significantly tightens penalties for anyone who violates the solicitation law. Though the five of us on the Town Board will continue to take all effective and legal steps we can to protect and improve our quality of life and keep this town a great place to live and raise a family, I firmly believe that we need more than government actions to preserve our town. We need people throughout the town getting involved, joining community groups, and reaching out to neighbors so that we keep our community strong. If you see something in your neighborhood, such as a home you suspect may have been illegally converted to multifamily use, or construction being done without a permit, let the town know so that we can investigate the situation and enforce our town codes.
Finally, because several people at the Preserve Orangetown meeting had questions about the Do Not Knock Registry, I wanted to include a version of the Q&A about this law that I sent to the town's email list last month.
What is the Do Not Knock Registry?
For years Orangetown, like most municipalities, has required door to door solicitors engaged in for-profit business to obtain a permit from the Town Clerk (which includes a police background check). Now, all solicitors who get permits from the Town will be given a list of addresses that have enrolled on the Do Not Knock Registry and which they may not solicit at. Violators will face steep fines, which have been increased. Under the existing solicitation law, every violation of the law was punishable with up to a $1,000 fine. Now violators will face up to a $1,500 fine for a first offense, up to $3,500 for a second offense within 24 months, and up to a $10,000 fine or 30 days in jail for a third offense within the same time period. Violators will also have their solicitation permit revoked which would make it illegal for them to solicit at all and soliciting without a permit is a crime! The revisions to the solicitation law also clarified that solicitation means an offer to sell or buygoods or property. Previously, only offers to sell things was considered solicitation.
How can I sign up for the Do Not Knock Registry?
The best way to sign up is to stop by the Town Clerk's office in Town Hall and put your address on the list. You'll also receive a free decal to display by your door which will alert solicitors that your home or business is on the Do Not Knock Registry. If you can't make it to Town Hall during business hours, email Town Clerk Charlotte Madigan at firstname.lastname@example.com call the Clerk's office at 359-5100 to find out additional ways to sign up.
If I sign up for the Registry, will the Town give out my name to solicitors?
No. Solicitors will be given a list of addresses that are on the registry and told that they may not approach those homes or businesses. The names of residents at those addresses will not be shared.
What should I do if a solicitor knocks on my door after I sign up for the Do Not Knock Registry?
If someone approaches your door in a way that makes you uncomfortable you should call the Orangetown Police at 359-3700 to report the incident. Any commercial solicitor should have a permit from the town clearly displayed. If you see someone acting inappropriately or soliciting without a permit, please contact the police and provide details of the incident. If you can safely do so, consider taking a picture of the individual or license plate of the individual you believe is violating the law. Remember—violators of this law can't be charged unless the police know about the incident.
Will this keep missionaries from knocking on my door?
No it won't. Individuals who are not engaging in any type of commercial transaction have never needed a permit from the Town to go door to door, so they are not impacted by this law. Courts have held that towns may not restrict door to door canvassing by missionaries or political candidates.
Will this make trick or treating illegal, or make it impossible for Girl Scouts and other local groups to raise money?
This law will not impact the activities of Girl Scouts or other local charitable groups. Under town law, individuals going door to door to raise money for a civic or social group (e.g. Girl Scouts, Elks Club, VFW posts) that has a location in Orangetown have never needed to get a solicitation permit, so they will not be impacted by this law. Only commercial, for-profit solicitors, are impacted. If you didn't need a permit before, you aren't impacted by this law.
What if I don't want to be on the Do Not Knock Registry?
The Do Not Knock Registry is entirely voluntary. If you choose not to sign up for the Registry you will be unaffected by this law.
I have another question about this law, can you answer it?
Sure–you can always email me at email@example.com call me at 359-5100. You can also email Town Clerk Charlotte Madigan, whose office is in charge of implementing this law, at email@example.com or call her at 359-5100.

When I moved from the house to the apartment, my fitness regimen fell apart, even though I had worked so hard to build that habit by doing the fitness study in the early months of 2015. I made excuses for a while and then I just developed different habits. When Pokemon Go first launched in 2016 I was walking 5-10km per day now it gets me out of the house every day but I am not nearly as active. When I travel I often walk 5-10 km while sightseeing and exploring.
Basically, I know there are people far less active than me, but I also recognize that I need to bring it back up a bit: I want more strength, more flexibility, and more stamina.
Around the time everything went sideways with Dale, I recommitted to getting into shape — being out of shape contributed to his heart attack and I am not ready to leave yet. I reached out to friends in search of a personal trainer. I wanted someone who could help me build an exercise routine that I could do at home, indoors and alone, and who could correct my form to make sure I wasn't risking injury in the way I was moving my body.
Instead I got put in touch with someone who was pushing trademarked exercise programs and nutritional shakes. The experience was frustrating to say the least as they refused to believe that my goal was not weight loss and that I did not feel the need to purchase their proprietary dietary supplements.
A whole bunch of posts by both friends and strangers in the past couple of days reminded me that the MLM marketer had put me so far off track I'd forgotten my goal. Last night, I made the decision to fix that and left my yoga mat out so I would see it in the morning and remember to use it. While I forgot initially, I did see it in enough time to pull up a sequence on YouTube and do it.
Now one of my partners is helping me manage all of this, and will help to keep me on target. So for now I am going back to what I know:
- Every weekday morning will include 20 min of yoga.
- Every workday will include a single circuit of the Ring Road — generally this is a 25 min brisk walk.
- On days that I cannot do the Ring Road circuit (meetings/inclement weather/not at work) I will substitute 25 minutes of other exercise so that daily goals will be a minimum of 45 minutes of exercise/activity.
- Weekends will also include exercise but will be varied and one day will be a rest day.
Today I did both the yoga and the Ring Road circuit. I'd completely forgotten how much more awake I feel after morning yoga, and the circuit came with the added bonus of a handful of foraged blackberries. Huzzah!

Good evening all!
By Mrs Pink Parrot, Nov 7 2014 09:27PM
Gosh, October has been pretty busy! You guys seem to have greeted the arrival of the new Medium Stag Heads with a lot of enthusiasm, and I want to thank you all so much!
You're making this journey a realy enjoyable one!
Then there was this ace lady who suggested to try making a Rainbow Stag Head... Crazy, I thought!!! And how much fun it was to make :) I got my favourite 7 rainbow colours together and off into the garden I went - You can see the result in my Rainbow Stag Head listing...
Soooooo, I can't wait to see what the next two months will bring - apart from Christmas that is! I have another huge order of Medium Stag heads arriving shortly, so your Xmas orders are save :)
6 1/2 weeks to the big present extravaganza - yes I know it's not all about presents, but it IS nice to get a little something - and I find it even better to give a special something to someone you love...
On a slightly sad note, my supplier has put their prices up... And I'm in the same boat as everyone else, I have to suffer the consequences.
Saying that, I have vowed to keep stag head prices where they are as much as I can - this means that although I had to increase the medium stags on my eBay portal, I have kept them just as they are on the website here!
And as you can pay in confidence using Paypal here in my shop too, the bonus of buying direct is getting even more profound for all parties concerned :)
Happy Days :)
Lots of Love,
Mrs Pink Parrot X

Insta-Cash Inc

Killeen, TX 76541
Map For Insta-Cash Inc
Information About Insta-Cash Inc From Around The Web
It is always wise to search locally for personal financial services, when you really have an urgent financial need. Determined by where you are located, services can range from simple title loans to short term loan goods such as payday cash advances, also known as cash advances. Contact the firm listed above to see what financial services can be found in your city. Some may also offer loan options that are installment, letting you pay off your loan for a set time frame, to larger loans such as personal loans, which afford a wider range of lending packages with regard to loan quantity and interest rates, depending on your credit score.
Before applying for online payday loans, you should always investigate alternatives. Try to stretch your finances if there's an emergency or sudden statement. If you can't pay a bill, get in touch with your lender and attempt to make a payment arrangement. In case your need for cash takes a loan for a longer period, submit an application for an alternative peer-to-peer or conventional loan. In case you have collateral, you can put up property to guarantee a low-interest bank loan. When you're denied funds from a traditional lending source you need temporary cash flow until the following pay check or because your credit credibility is shot, simple loans might seem like the ideal remedy to get you through a tight financial position. Taking out an advance on your next paycheck from a money lender might be your only alternative should you not need a charge card or money in a savings account to cover the cost of a car repair or catching up in your electricity bill before services are shut off.
Applying for fast loans on the internet is a great alternative when unexpected crises arise or the amount desired isn't worth for opening another account, the ding to your credit score. You also avoid the hassle of needing to gather all your financial records, submit a lengthy application and meet together with the bank's loan officer to sign packages of paperwork. If your credit is good enough, then you may be eligible for a higher limit with a brand new account or a present charge card business with another lender that allows you to combine all of your debt into one payment. As the consolidation is processed between both companies, which puts money in your pocket fast you usually get to skip the following payment. You'll likely be paying less complete than you were for the individual minimum payments of the separate debts when the following payment is due. Many sources of private credit, including poor credit personal loans, have a high annual percentage rate, particularly when origination fees are contained in the annualized rate. Many personal loans online also have durations that are relatively brief, frequently as very little as three months. Rolling them around can prove costly, although it might be possible to refinance these kinds of loans.

Celebrity fashion stylist and designer Jeremiah Ogbodo popularly known as Swanky Jerry is arguably the most talked about in the fashion industry. In 2015, he did incredibly well and won a couple of awards as the reward of the hard work he has put in so far. ENCOMIUM Weekly had a chat with the UNILAG undergraduate and he told us all about how business went in 2015, the awards he got, the big stars he worked with and the secrets of his success.
How was 2015 career wise?
2015 was definitely a glorious year for me. It was an epic year, from styling President Jonathan to styling 2Face and Annie Idibia for 2Face's birthday, Fortyfied, to styling Wizkid for the new Pepsi campaign and TV commercials to also styling over 12 artistes like Ice Prince, Seyi Shay Victoria Kimani and many more for the Etisalat Cloud 9 campaign. I was responsible for most of the blazing album covers from last year like Wande Cole (Wanted album), Iyanya (Applaudise album). I styled D'Banj's recent Slot campaign shoot, rapper AKA from South Africa also got the signatures touch. I also styled MI for the Glo calendar for 2016, it was amazing too , not forgetting Juliet Ibrahim's Ovation Carol look was by me. At the global citizen festival 2015 in New York, I was styling Ice prince who performed alongside Beyoncé, Usher and many more international superstars where I met with Jay Z, Usher Raymond, Common, Ed Sheeran, Jaden Smith, Beyoncé's stylist TY hunter and many more. I was also responsible for most of the stunning looks at the African Movie Academy Awards 2015, the likes of Chioma Akpotha, Queen Nwokoye and many more, to mention a few, I must say 2015 was a glorious year for me.
Did you meet the goals you set for yourself?
I met all my goals for 2015 but 2016 will be way beyond.
What are your plans for 2016 and how would you implement them?
I have too many plans for 2016 but I am not one to reveal my plans as I like to take everyone by surprise.
What innovations are you injecting into your brand this year?
My brand is expanding everyday so, this year, I will be giving opportunities to many Nigerian youths who are interested in fashion. It's a big project.
You got a couple of awards in Nigeria and outside Nigeria in 2015, what's the secret of your success?
It feels good to be recognized. I work round the clock. I am not lazy as I believe in the quote, "No food for a lazy man." I think the secret is hard work and God's grace. In 2015, I gave majority of my clients their best fashion look, I styled countless videos, weddings, politicians, CEOs, beauty pageants, queens, music stars , actors basically everyone from all walks of life. Then I started getting nominations. At a point, I got over 12 nominations I said to myself "Swanky, you have to keep working." I was nominated as Fashion Stylist of the Year at the African Entertainment Award (AEA) 2015 as Fashion Stylist of the Year, I was nominated as Youth Of the year at the Youth Choice Award.
I was nominated as Youth Choice Entrepren-eur of the Year. I was also nominated as Trail Blazer of the Year, then I was nominated as Male Continental Style and Fashion Influencer at the Abryanz Style And Fashion Awards.
I won Most Fashionable Male at the F B A Awards, I won Male Continental Style and Fashion Influencer Africa, I won Fashion Entrepreneur of the Year at the Lagos Fashion Awards. I also won Fashion Stylist of the Year.
The most recent award was in Uganda. Did you see yourself winning the award?
I could only hope to win after working so hard and having countless sleepless nights.
You were in the category with other top African fashion stylists , what do you think stood you out?
To be honest, it was a tough category apart from the fact that I was the only Nigerian nominated. It was the biggest award of the nights. South Africa's Bonang Matheba was also nominated in the female category of my nomination so, you know it was a tough one. But to be honest, you never can tell what stood you out except you are part of the board of organization of the event. I think everyone works differently and have their own style of delivering a job, I think Swanky's Signature work and fans made this happen.
My fans voted, I also want to use this opportunity to thank the Nigerian Entertainment Industry for Supporting Male Continental Style and Fashion Influencer Africa 2015. My sincerest gratitude goes to all my clients and friends without whom this experience wouldn't have been possible.

To accomplished writers, this Tampa English Tutor tip is second nature. However, this week, I had a tutoring session with a beginning writer working on an essay written in response to a prompt.
While I don't recall the particulars of the prompt, it had two parts and the answer to the first part was required before the second part could be answered.
When we sat down to review this student's paper, she had started reasonably well, but then wandered from the first part of the prompt into a personal reaction to the story that paper was about.
In certain cases, her observations could have been used to make a point that would have answered a portion of the prompt, but she had lost sight of the key parts of the prompt she was trying to address.
Together we divided the prompt into two parts and turned each question into a statement that took a clear position based upon this student's reading of the work. She then reviewed her essay and could see that much of the beginning of her essay applied to the second part of the question. She also recognized that a good portion of her first draft was not answering any part of the prompt.
It's basic, but it's well worth doing to break down a writing prompt into its parts and then start by turning the question into a strong statement of position if the prompt is a persuasive one.
She had written her draft on the eve of the due date, which did not give her the time to create a truly outstanding piece of writing, but revising it once made it much stronger and probably turned a D or an F into at least a C or a B.
By creating statements that took a clear position on both parts of the prompt, she was able to see what was relevant and what could be cut. We then discussed the evidence from the work and made revisions and additions that used her best points first and last where they would stay with the reader.
It's easy to wander from the issue when you are writing, so always re-read your finished work and ask yourself: "Have I answered all the parts of the prompt?" Sometimes the answer will make revision of your paper much simpler.
If you are a college or high school student who would like to improve your writing, contact Tampa English Tutor Eric Anderson at 813.787.8959 for one-on-one essay writing help.

Small Town Heroes
So, hi, I'm Ava Miles, and I was born in a small Midwest town, so it's no surprise that I'm writing a small-town contemporary romance series called Dare Valley. I value the community spirit, the whole knowing-your-neighbors thing, and especially being able to drop by someone's house for a visit and have a piece of pie. My favorite is lemon meringue, by the way.
In my new release, THE GRAND OPENING, I tell the story of the tough-as-nails single mom cop, Peggy McBride, whom readers first met in NORA ROBERTS LAND. Peggy has moved to Dare Valley, Colorado to be closer to her brother and to give her young son, Keith, a more family-oriented community since he has a dead-beat dad.
Being the deputy sheriff, Peggy's sole mission is to keep her town safe. And that's what I love about her. She's a hero (or heroine) and doesn't even know it. Then she meets the new hotel owner and poker champion, Mac Maven. Mac has brought a boutique poker hotel to town, and Peggy is his biggest opponent, convinced his establishment is no good for Dare. Sparks fly between these two, and Peggy just can't seem to shake her attraction for him. Mac's not what he seems and might just be a small-town hero in his own way, confusing Peggy. What's a girl to do? I mean he puts his Ferrari between her and a determined moose. Yes, he does! And then there's the fact that he's helping his sister raise her teenage son named Dustin. I've included an excerpt from one of my favorite scenes in the book to show you what I'm talking about. I mean the man's a hero with a heart of gold. I kinda fell in love with Mac, if you can't tell, but please don't tell Peggy. She carries a gun for a living.
When you think about your own community, who stands out to you as a hero (or heroine), and what do you admire about them?
Excerpt 2: Two Lost Boys
"If you don't think your dad likes you, why do you keep hoping he'll visit?" Dustin asked.
Wiping his runny nose with his hand, Keith said, "So he can see how good I am now."
Mac put both hands on the boy's small shoulders and stared into his eyes. "Now, wait just a minute. You've always been good." He took a deep breath. Sometimes you had to go with the truth. He'd learned that with his nephew. "Dustin's right. Some men shouldn't have kids. I had a terrible dad until he left me and my sister. He didn't like me either."
Keith's eyes turned as huge as chocolate circles. "He didn't?"
"No, and I'm a good person, right?" He tried to smile. He'd used the same line on Dustin.
It had worked every time.
Dustin put his hand on Mac's shoulder. "You're the best," he replied like he always had.
It had been a long time since he'd heard that from his nephew. Funny how much he needed it. He cleared his throat. "Takes one to know one."
"Did it ever make you cry?" Keith asked.
"Yeah," Mac whispered, remembering how it had felt to be seven years old. The only difference between them was that his mother hadn't bothered to reassure him. She hadn't liked him either. Dustin was right. Some people should never have kids.
"What about you?" Keith asked Dustin.
His nephew kicked the ground. "I haven't for a long time." He crouched low to the ground. "So you're part of the pack now—guys whose fathers hate them. Look at Uncle Mac. It didn't mess him up."
So the hero lens wasn't completely gone from Dustin's eyes. His nephew's ears flamed when their gazes met.
Mac swallowed thickly and turned back to the Keith. "You're gonna be fine. You've got the best uncle around and the best mom except for my sister. Plus, look at the Hales.
You've got a whole family who loves you."
"Mom says we have to stick together."
Mac lifted his head and stared at his nephew. "Yes, that's what families do."
Dustin ducked his head to the right. Mac knew he only did that when he wanted to hide his emotions. So Keith was helping everyone with their hurts today.
As with everything life handed out, there was a silver lining.
"Come here," he told Keith. He picked him up, stood, and pulled Dustin in with the other arm. He hugged those two boys hard until it became awkward. Then he jostled them back and forth. "We okay now?"
When Mac put him down, Keith took Dustin's hand. His nephew's brows shot up, but he didn't shake free. Mac's heart grew so huge he wasn't sure it would fit in his chest.
"Okay," Keith murmured, his Toy Story T-shirt dotted with wet spots. "Come on, Dustin. I need a boost to climb the tree."
They walked off together, two hurting boys trying to understand why their fathers had abandoned them, trying to become what they were meant to be in spite of it. Pride couldn't exactly describe what Mac was feeling, but it was damn close.
Dustin helped Keith into the tree and then climbed up himself. Keith's higher-pitched voice blended with Dustin's rapidly changing one.
Mac fished his phone out of his pocket and took a picture. He didn't capture many scenes, but he intended to savor this one.

Suzlon Group, a global renewable energy solution provider, says it has won a repeat order from an independent power producer (IPP) for a 58.80 MW capacity wind power project in the Indian district of Dewas, in Madhya Pradesh, that is capable of powering approximately 32,000 households per year.
According to Suzlon, the project comprises 28 units of S97-120-meter hybrid towers with a rated capacity of 2.1 MW each. Suzlon will be responsible for the entire project lifecycle, which includes wind turbine supply, construction and commissioning, as well as operations, maintenance and services for 12 years.
The project is scheduled for completion by March 2017.
Suzlon states that the S97-120-meter hybrid tower is a combination of the lattice and tubular towers wind turbine generator with increased stability and reduced cost. It enables higher generation from low-wind sites and yields higher returns on investment to customers, the company says.
"The order win is a testament of the faith and confidence reposed by customers in Suzlon's technology, execution and lifecycle asset management capabilities," says J.P. Chalasani, Suzlon Group's CEO, speaking on the occasion.
"The Indian renewable industry is witnessing significant momentum and surge in demand supported by positive policy actions and government support," he adds. "Over two decades of experience, pan-India presence, robust technology, innovative and reliable products, and massive service capabilities gives us the confidence to further enhance our market share in India."

Honda Transmission Repair
Honda is one of Canada's most popular automakers. Here's what you need to know about their transmissions
With every vehicle make and model, there are often similar telltale signs if something's gone awry with your transmission, and that includes common issues with Honda transmissions.
Harsh shifting, flaring between shifts (aka RPMs revving too high), a lack of engagement (your vehicle does not move when you shift into gear), and an unusual clunking sound when shifting into reverse are all common warning signs which may indicate a need for your transmission to be serviced or repaired.
However, it's important to remember that due to the complexity of today's digital transmissions, a malfunction doesn't automatically mean there is a problem with your car's transmission. Your car's computer receives data from up to 32 separate sensors located throughout the vehicle. Any one of them could be sending inaccurate or no information.
Reliable Cars Canucks Love to Drive
Canadian drivers hold Honda's vehicles in high regard. The Honda Civic was Canada's best-selling car in 2015 for the 18th consecutive year. Both the Civic Sedan and Coupe are built in Canada. Interestingly, an estimated 30% of Civic Coupes sold in Canada have manual transmissions.
Meanwhile, it's worthwhile to note Honda's automatic transmissions are unusual in that they do not use planetary gears like nearly all other automakers. Instead, the Hondamatic (aka the H2) and its successors use traditional sliding gears in parallel like a manual transmission. The company's early transmissions also used a patented torque converter which used stator force rather than hydraulic controls for shifting.
The company's naming scheme is specific to a single model of vehicle:
- 1973–1979 H2 — two-speed
- 1979–1985 H3 — three-speed
- 1983–1991 H4 — four-speed (aka AS/AK/F4/CA/P1/K4/L4/PY8A/ML4A/MY8A)
- 1986–1990 G4 — four-speed (aka L5/PL5X)Honda/Acura Legend
- 1989–1991 Civic AWD — four-speed (aka MPSA/S5)Honda Civic AWD
- 1990–1997 H4A — four-speed (aka A6VA/AOYA/APX4/APXA/BOYA/MP1A/MP1B/MPJA/MPOA/MPWA/MPXA/PX4)Honda Accord, Honda Prelude, Honda Odyssey/Isuzu Oasis, Acura CL

Popular Home Security Systems Blog Advices Families to Train their Kids to Build a Safer Home
Popular Home Security Systems Blog Advices Families to Train their Kids to Build a Safer Home
(PRWEB) March 09, 2012
Elite Security Services, a noted home security systems provider in the United States and Canada, has just published yet another blog post to their official blog. The new blog post appeals all homeowners to teach their kids to become more responsible about the security of their home. Elite Security Services have been in the security industry for less than a year, but have made a serious impact with their efficient and low cost security plans. The company's blog was introduced recently to share domestic safety tips with the readers. Many highly useful articles published on the blog have revealed little known facts about home security to the readers.
The article suggests that it is important to train the kids about home protection and home security systems because, in many instances, they are the only ones present at home. The kids must keep all the doors and windows locked when nobody else is present in the house. They must also be taught to be extremely organized with the keys. Some people have the habit of keeping the keys in a predefined place outside the entrance door so that everybody can find them. The article suggests the homeowners to have different sets of keys for all family members, and stop keeping the keys in such unsafe places. Many young kids tend to use windows to come in and out of the house for fun. This should be avoided because it may help the potential burglars find out the probable areas to break in.
Like always, this post has also been presented to the readers by Elite Security Services' owner Mr. Paul Shakuri. Talking about the topic, he stated, "Your children can also take part in protecting your house against burglary. There are small security measures that they can take in order to make your house safer against unwanted intrusion". He has also advised the family members to teach kids about the basic functions of home security systems.
About the Company: Elite Security Services is a rapidly growing company in the home security industry. They offer highly efficient and economical home security solutions in America and Canada.

Recently, I tried the free online paper trading platform from tradeMonster. Just want to share my experiences with the readers here.
What I like about the trading platform:
* Very easy customization of interface, really user-friendly.
If we want to customize / change the layout of the screen, it can be done just by one click.
This easy customization is offered in each screen.
For example:
In the Option Chain screen, with just one click, we can expand/collapse the Calls/Puts sides of the Option Chain.
When we expand the Calls side (and collapse the Puts side), for instance, we can see all information about Bid/Ask Price, Volume, Open Interest, Implied Volatility (IV), etc. for various strike prices, all can be viewed in one page. We can even choose to view all those info for different expiration months.
In addition, in case we want to customize (add/remove) the column/s (e.g. add High and Low Price, Greeks info, such as Delta, Gamma, Vega, Theta, Rho), we can simply check or uncheck boxes provided. Marvelous!
* Real-time, streaming data throughout the trading platform, such as Quotes, Charts, Option Chains, Time & Sales, etc.
It allows quick monitoring of the fast changing market and also helps to make trading a lot more convenient, e.g. for setting the limit price.
* Browser-based trading platform.
We don't need to download any software to start the application and, therefore, can trade from anywhere. I like this, because it is particularly convenient when we need to work on a few different computers (e.g. office and home computers), or when we want to change from old to new computer. We don't need to reset our preferred interface settings all over again when we need to use another computer.
* Easy click trading.
Whenever we want to trade, we can simply click on the symbol (whether stock or option), and then a new window will pop up to allow for a quick trade. We can do this at any page/window we're in, such as Watch List, Option Chain, Market View, Quotes.
With this quick trade window, we don't need to type in the symbol when we want to trade, so it's much easier and faster, especially for trading options (e.g. spreads, strangle, straddle, condor, butterfly, etc.)
I believe that option traders who like to trade more complicated strategies as mentioned above would love this!
* There are brief descriptions/explanations about the technical indicators just below it.
It helps to give some ideas (e.g. what it is for, how it is derived) before applying the study to complement chart analysis.
* Provide comprehensive research and fundamental analysis about a company.
* Provide comprehensive & clear Help menu.
It even has pretty cool introduction videos that show all the capabilities of the interface.
So, it's very easy to learn and familiarize ourselves with how to do certain things using this interface.
* Provide free Investor Education, including live webinars, articles, and interactive courses.
Areas of Improvement:
* The Technical Analysis studies for chart analysis are currently still rather limited.
For example, there is no Fibonacci tool for chart analysis. Of course, this limitation may be subjective. This may not matter to other people, because they might not need to use this analysis tool as I normally do.
* The use of chart is not as convenient as the other interfaces.
For example, when I'm interested to analyze the particular area of the chart, I cannot zoom in to that particular area to by simply dragging the cursor. Also, I cannot show and monitor several charts for different symbols simultaneously in one screen. However, these can easily be done using Prophet's JavaChart.
* While there is an advantage of being a browser-based trading platform, there is also disadvantage.
When clicking some tabs / buttons, it takes some time (a few seconds) to load the application. The loading speed will depend on our internet connection. The faster the internet connection is, the faster the loading speed will be. However, once the application is already uploaded, we need not go through the loading process again, as the interface is already "cached".
Wish Lists:
If I could wish, it would be even much better if the trading platform provide the following:
* Screener for Stock and Chart Patterns
* Options Calculator / Pricer
This is particularly useful for those who like to use technical analysis to help their trading and option traders. As if most their needs can be fulfilled in one integrated application.
Though they are not available yet now, I heard that many improvements for trade analysis tools are under development.
The commission charges for Options are $0.50 per contract, with a minimum commission of $12.50 for single leg orders, and $7.50 per leg for multi-leg orders.
For Stocks, the commission charge is $7.50 per trade (regardless how many shares bought), unless trading in after-hours where there is a 1.5 cent per share added charge.
Here are the tables for some comparison:
For Options – Single Leg Order:
For Options – 2-Leg Option Spread:
For Stocks:
As comparison, for options trades, my broker (Interactive Broker) charges commission $0.70 / contract, with minimum per order is $1.00.
So, for those who usually trade 18 contracts or more per trade, TradeMonster will be cheaper.
For those who trade less than 18 contracts per trade, Interactive Broker would be cheaper.
However, the good thing about TradeMonster is that there is no minimum monthly fee. Hence, in case you're on holiday and do not trade at all or do not actively trade for that month, you don't need to pay any fee. Whereas for Interactive Broker, there is a minimum monthly fee of $10, even if you don't trade at all for the month.
In addition, for Interactive Broker, if you make any cancelation or modification to the order (that has not been executed yet), it will charge you some fees as well. However, no such fees will be charged by TradeMonster.
Closing Note:
Actually, it's rather difficult to describe how easy and simple the customization of interface is. Like when I was trying to explain about how easy and simple to customize Option Chain, actually words are still not good enough to describe. Of course, it'll be much better if one can experience it himself. Hence, if you're interested, you may want to try the free paper trading provided from this broker. One good thing about its paper trading platform is that it allows you to execute trade during non-trading hours. So, you can try it anytime, during the weekend or your own free time.
Opening a paper trading account is very easy. You don't need to open the real account or fund the account first. You just simply apply by filling up some particulars, then the free paper trading account will be open instantly, no need to wait for approval process, etc.
Happy trying! =)

Hermann's Jazz Festival
Fearless and distinct, Edmonton-born pianist John Stetch pushes the edges of his jazz and classical training to fuse melodies from all around the world; from Mozart to East European music to TV themes. After years of playing clarinet and saxophone, Stetch switched to piano in his late teens, and is now a Steinway Artist, a 6-time Juno nominee, and won the Prix Du Jazz at the Montreal Jazz Festival. For years, Stetch worked at many of the top New York City jazz clubs, performed across several continents. He recently released his 14th CD The Vancouver Concert, and was just awarded the Inaugural Pentland Prize in Composition. Joining Stetch for this special Victoria Jazz Festival show at Hermann's will be two of Toronto's first call rhythm section players – this year's Juno winner Mike Downes on bass, and drummer Ethan Ardelli.
John Stetch Trio
Alberta-born jazz pianist John Stetch scrupulously learned his craft over many years, first in Montreal and later in NYC, playing in the Rufus Reid/Akira Tana Group for a decade. A four-time Juno nominee, Stetch is a lyrical and bold stylist at the keyboard; this inventive and virtuosic musician has also earned unanimous international acclaim for o...

Crazy Windy & Rainy Day
The wind started blowing like crazy about the time we got back home yesterday around 5:00 pm. It continued all through the night and all day today. To preserve our slide awnings we pulled all three slides in last night and only opened the door side one today. We lost the door-side awning when we … Continue reading

The election of Trump has certainly come as a surprise to the media, pollsters, professional political classes and I have to admit it has certainly come as a surprise to me. I thought Hilary would win by a small margin although I have to admit it was a choice between bad and badder. I have no idea as to what the next four years will bring although I hope he and the USA have a good presidency and people aren't hurt by the actions of both sides of the political divide. Hilary struck me as a lying, greedy power hungry tosser and Trump struck me as a lying greedy egotistical twat. Whither politics now... Meanwhile in the UK we have more than our share of lying, power hungry, greedy tossers and twats occupying parliament, the media and various parts of the state apparatus. The 1789 and 1917 blueprints look likely to be dusted off and perused for instructions for revolution 101 the way things are going. It doesn't matter whether it's right, left or state protectionism, we are the poor buggers caught in the middle of it all when the trouble starts. Perhaps they'll put a few more reality shows on the telly to keep the hoi polloi further sedated and prevent anything kicking off. Moi, cynical?
On the home front my move to four days a week working has seen my workload shoot through the roof and I am daily watching colleagues have meltdowns. It isn't good and sadly it will get worse which is extremely worrying. My escape from it all is reading, the cats (poor old dog sleeps a lot these days), music and the modelling plus friends and family. The organisation I work for is well into an overspend on its budget as is much of the NHS. So no more staff for struggling front-line teams, in fact fewer staff as those that leave aren't replaced although money continues to be wasted on management favourites. It always amazes me that the answer is more paperwork and more admin staff although our caseloads get bigger as the clinical staff get fewer. I am seeing colleagues paid for a 37.5 hour week putting in 45 - 50 hours per week with no overtime or time owing allowed. Meanwhile, the list of qualified staff who leave healthcare for less stressful work gets longer with another two in the pipeline in the next two months. My four days a week is the replacement for those two staff (currently off work) plus the agency staff who has not had her contract renewed...
The next twelve months is likely to see an increase in the interesting times theme, both locally, nationally and internationally. Mrs C has suggested I buy in more tinned goods, rice and water filters. I don't think we've quite reached that stage yet but I have to admit, I have no idea what happens next in the wider scheme of things. Closer to home, a few beers tonight and a good book is what I have planned next. Who was it that said "The end of History?" I don't know about Fukuyama but he was fukungwrong. Being an eternal optimist as well as a realist I will continue to plod on and enjoy life, being content with the things we have and believe that it will all turn out alright in the end.

Challenge Day 3 and Day 4: BFFs and Flinging Books
Because my answers to these questions are relatively short (and because I missed posting yesterday), I have clumped them together. So here are Days 3 and 4.
Who are your blogging BFFs?
So I'm a relatively new blogger.
Which means that all my BFFs are in the real world, and none of them have blogs.
So I have no blogging BFFs.
If you have a blog and want to become my blogging BFF, comment with a link to your blog.
I hope to have many blogging BFFs before my blogging journey here is over!
What's the last book you flung across the room?
I don't fling books.
They are sacred objects.
Even boring or annoying books are still books, which means they are still sacred.
So there.
But if I did fling books, I would fling Moby Dick heartily. Actually, I would probably fall asleep before I could fling it.
Or I would fling Mansfield Park. But not for the same reasons as Moby Dick. Mansfield Park is a good book. I would fling it because I would be so frustrated that Fanny wasn't getting the Edmund she deserved and that Edmund wasn't being as awesome as he could be.
But I don't fling books.

Book discussions make the world a better place! Write me a comment - I respond to each and every one, I promise. So check back!

The students and staff had a very successful and exciting day watching the historic total eclipse of the sun. There were activities in the morning. Each grade of the middle school and high school students designed a "station" to teach the K-5 students about eclipses. The elementary students moved from station to station between 10 a.m. and 11:15. Then they put on their glasses to watch the beginning of the eclipse before lunch.
After an indoor lunch and recess, all K-12 students returned the football field for the totality and end of the eclipse. As you can see from the following photo gallery, a good time was had by all.
Thank you to the teachers, and especially Loleta Connell for taking so many fun pictures of the event. To see the pictures go to: Arnold School Total Eclipse Pictures

Because Chicago does not have any self-appointed "lesbian bars," lesbians scatter, weekdays and ends, oftentimes frolicking adrift in the playground-like hub of the queer community known as Boystown. The bars may all be gay-friendly, but the area ultimately offers what its name promises: a Town of Boys, Boys' Town, and long nights of lingering in pursuit of lesbian lovers often leads to foot-tapping and app-swiping loneliness in a sea of dancing gay men. I found myself too often playing the role of bar voyeur, slouched over my whiskey to dodge the boisterous boys behind me, while eyeing every incoming woman for some sign of shared persuasion. Those wild nights of shots, show tunes, and scandalous eye contact with the stray straight woman may be fun, but they're not quite, we'll say, fulfilling. But with a few tips, you can increase your chances at interaction tenfold and avoid being the odd one out under the rainbow.
There are no lesbian bars in Chicago, but there are gay-friendly bars lesbians frequent. A few Boystown favorites include: D.S. Tequila (3352 N. Halsted), where you can score a fabulous margarita and relax on the patio, and the Closet (3325 N. Broadway St.), a small cash-only club with a dark dance floor and carefree feel. Whether you're hanging out with friends or looking to meet new people, D.S. and the Closet can be a great start to a barhopping night for women in Boystown, particularly on the weekend, when the bigger GLBT clubs begin to fill with the Boys.
But for the most part, the Chicagoan lesbian learns to plan ahead—isn't that why you're reading this now, to know where to go before you leave your front door? Most of the Sapphic hot spots occur monthly, either at a specific locale or an ever-changing location, so you'll need to keep up-to-date and sync your party-going cycle accordingly.
-FKA (Formerly Known As)—an all-inclusive dance party that emphasizes genderfluid acceptance and transgender inclusion every second Friday, at Big Chicks (5024 N Sheridan Rd.).
-Chances Dances—every third Saturday, at the Subterranean (2011 W. North Ave.).
-Off Chances—every second Tuesday, at Danny's (1951 W. Dickens Ave.).
-LesBiFriends—every first Thursday , at Progress Bar (3359 N Halsted).
-Queerer Park—a bi-monthly queer dance party at Beauty Bar (1444 W Chicago Ave.).
Some change places, standing tall and pretty on usually unwelcoming grounds, and in those watering hole in the walls a queer wouldn't otherwise attend in comfort.
-The Welcoming Committee's Guerrilla Queer Bar—the first Friday of each month, a large GLBT party offering all a hug at the door and a takeover of the dance floor.
-The Welcoming Committee's "Overhaul"— every third Saturday, a brand-new straight bar takeover, geared toward queer women, lesbians, and those who support them.
Whether you are searching for a new locale or are new to the city, enjoy it while you can—before you too are embedded in a bar scene composed of mostly exes.

Another visitor, Tony Probes, requested hymn 401. This number coincides with ship's building number of the Titanic and was a fitting way to remember the sinking of the Titanic exactly 100 years ago to the day!
Paul spoke for about 8 minutes bringing a simple message about the way that our singing and music can glorify God and bring us into his presence.
And then, what better way to finish than singing the firm island favourite "In the Sweet Bye and Bye".
Peter played again for us on the 21st April and more than 30 people attended.

The Paterson Paintings
This is not a project I came to with initial enthusiasm. I didn't want to spend a year or two paintinng Paterson, NJ, but was lured into it, gently and persistently, by my friend, Bob Demarest. Bob grew up there long ago, when the city was vital and filled with industry. He had a deep desire to revisit it, to find what he might.
My dear, dear friend needed a sidekick, a painting buddy, and sometimes a driver. Together, we shared how he came to be who he is. That he wanted to share his journey with me is one of the finest compliments of my life.
I found my own fascination. In a downtown long forlorn, amidst the derelict factories and mills, there is rebirth. I encountered dignity and curiosity. When I set up and painted, I had conversations all day with kind, interested folks. Many returned later to see how I had progressed. I didn't expect that, but Paterson is full of surprises. The second largest waterfall in the east is right in the middle of it, and is at the heart of one of our nation's newest National Parks! It's easy to see why. What is easily overlooked - unless you spend real time there - is that visual poetry is everywhere. Some of my best (and hardest) work came looking sideways at a place I didn't want to portray. Thank you Bob!

Last Update: December 17, 2014
The Story Lookout Trail was first ribboned out in the summer of 2010. The trail works its way up through old growth forest, along the shores of a sub-alpine lake, across a talus slope and eventually you come out at the old fire lookout itself. Just minutes from town, the trail makes for a good day hike and provides amazing views of the coastal mountains on a good day.
THANK YOU - The New Story Lookout Trail was bucked out and built with help from the Nadina Mountain Fire Crew in 2011. Houston will always remember the good volunteer work you continue to do for our community.
Site Includes:
Room For Tenting
Winter Snowshoeing
The lookout has not yet been renovated. Overnight stay is NOT recommended yet. Once the planned renovations take place, it will be available for overnight camping.
➡ Head west of Houston and turn onto the Morice River Road.
➡ At approximately 8 km, turn left onto the West Peacock FSR (Note: The road sign is missing).
➡ Drive up the West Peacock for approximately 6.5 Km, the trail head is located on the right side of the road.
Distance From Town: 14.5 Km
Trail Length: 3.9 Km
Round Trip: 3.5 - 4.5 Hours
Difficulty: Moderate
Cellphone Coverage: YES

Greg Brown
He'll definitly have you working all year. Good teacher knows his stuff but he is so inconsiderate of everyone. He is very bitter and will make it clear if he doesn't like you.
Mr. Brown is a really good teacher. You will enjoy the class and do well in it as long as you do the work. If you dont then get out of there fast.. :)
When I was taking bio I felt the same as a lot of you all... Too much work. However, now that i'm not a lazy teen anymore, I realize how great of a teacher he r
Funny guy..appreciated those who were willing to do the work
those who complain about him, just don't want to work hard for the grade. After those wicked hard Bio projects I am apreciating him more than ever! Rock on dude
good intentions by preparing us for university, but its no help if you make it too hard to achieve the grades to get into university.
When I was in grade 12 last year I thought bio12 I'm majoring in bio at DAL and I'm glad he taught the way he did. Bio is no joke and neither is Mr. Brown.
i don't care what ppl say but brown rocks!he only teaches us so much stuff because heres so much stuff to learn in one year.and he really does know alot
I think that class is my favorite, I have learnedthe most in bio than I did last year. u just have to do the work.. even though it is a bit.
I know the work is hard but what can i say I love bio 12, it has been a fun year and mr. brown you rool
if you think his class is a lot of work, wait til you're in University, you'll realize his class wasn't a prep at all.. no joke
everyone complains about his work but omg he is preparing us so good! His class is my fav this year! thanks mr brown for the good preperation for university!!
he hardly even teaches. spends too much time apologizing in case he accidently offended anybody

In my case, I'm not suggesting Jaws should be free, but I once paid £650 just to upgrade and add a two year SMA because a few little things didn't work. That is an outrageous amount of money for an upgrade that added very little to the basic functionality of software I'd already paid well over a thousand pounds for at that stage. Can't imagine too many situations that would cause a trained sales person to apologise for the cost of something, but that's what happened. It's an obscene amount for a software upgrade.
#26 2017-10-28 16:56:44 (edited by flackers 2017-10-28 17:00:48)
#27 2017-10-28 18:29:02
yeah, the fact you need to pay for upgrades is incredibly stupid
#28 2017-10-28 19:02:27
I'm not saying JAWS, or it's major version upgrades, should be free, but honestly, charging people for an upgrade they chose to skip, and will never use because it's now superceeded by a newer version is just plain ridiculous. No other software or hardware company does that, even in the assistive technology space.
If I had just recently gone blind, and needed to choose a screen reader, and knew what I know now, I'd start off with NVDA and probably never look at JAWS.
But things didn't go that way, I learned JAWS first, and have been very happy with it, so I make sure that my SMAs don't lapse so that JAWS only costs me $5 per month to keep up to date.
#29 2017-10-28 20:56:16
I wouldn't have done the same, due to NVDA's lack of office support, and the fact that I am in school and use microsoft word with jaws.
#30 2017-10-28 22:38:02
The price of JAWS is much too high, considering that NVDA and Narrator are catching up to it like emerging horses on a track. Seriously though, the price of the program, and worse, upgrading it, is the biggest flaw of JAWS. VFO needs to seriously look at the fact that there are suitable alternatives out there at the moment and charge much less for a home user.
I haven't used JAWS primarily for over 8 years, but I as it is the leading Windows screen reader, I keep up with its development from time to time. Lately, there has been a lag behind the pack where new features and support for UIA and Mozilla are concerned.
NVDA's Office support is a work in progress. Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook support are not where JAWS is at the moment, but it's getting there, considering how fragmented the community is and the fact that it is a free product in a commercial space.
#31 2017-10-28 22:50:20
As a home user Office support isn't all that important. I wouldn't even have Office, if it wasn't for Microsoft's Home Use program that was available through my last employer. Through it I was able to get Office 2010 Professional for all of $10. Without that, I'd have gone with Open Office, or some other alternative if that wasn't accessible. Truth is, all I need or want is a Good basic word processor and a good basic spreadsheet. I don't need all the other stuff that comes with Office, so Word and Excel are the only things I install.
#32 2017-10-28 22:51:18
I don't understand why people think that NVDA lacks support for MS Office. NVAccess during last years worked mostly on Office support, and it's PowerPoint support in my opinion is even better than JFW's support. If NVDA is little more sluggish with Office, it doesn't mean that Office isn't supported. It is just a bug that needs to be reported to NVAccess's issue tracker on github. I even won't remember the days when I was using JAWS 13 with Office 2007. It was so bad experience, especially with Microsoft Access. The problem was that JAWS didn't work well with croatian version of Office. It didn't wanna read header and footer fields properly, it didn't wanna read combo boxes in MS Access, so what are we talking about. And the same problem occured even later with JAWS 15 and Office 2010. So if something is paid doesn't mean that is better, it's far from that. And yeah, I'm using NVDA at work. Yes, at work! And I'm glad that I do, especially because JAWS is incompatible with Android Studio that I'm using at work every day.
#33 2017-10-29 05:38:12
Also, I am a student, and office is the program that I use the most. I have not had issues with nvda, in fact, nvda works beautifully with the 365 version of office.
#34 2017-10-29 05:53:40
I'm not sure about Jaws, but I can say nvda and word 2016 work fine together, I use them all the time.
I did try liber office, but the spellcheck and other options in writer just weren't up to what I needed.
Nvda seems to work fine with outlook too, or at least it does on my lady's machine, though since I've never liked outlook I can't confirm that myself, and I've never really seen need to install the other bits of office, but certainly with the latest version of word and Nvda I've had no complaints.

i have to agree that jaws2018 is not really worth to pay for. you don't get anything new that could'nt have been included in a update. that in my opinion is ridicolous that they even call it an upgrade.
the passed upgrades have been good. especially when OCR first came in and jaws18 actually had good features. new high quality volcaliser voices, possibility to use amazon kindel and other things that made this a really worked out update. it's the first time i've felt that jaws actually has come with something new that really was worth paying for and it became faster too.
it's those kind of updates we want. big updates that solves many buggs and comes with wel worked out features and not upgrades where you only get support for ff and some OCR shit. it's not enough to make someone want to upgrade unless they want full support for ff.
and jaws uses it's own OCR. taht's something i like with NVDA the windows 10 OCR. i so wish jaws could use that instead

I'm just the opposite, I've had no problems with JAWS, but every time I try to use NVDA I find things it can't or won't do that JAWS does without blinking. That is why I only use NVDA for those games that don't play well with JAWS. For me NVDA will always be an also ran well behind JAWS.
#37 2017-10-29 16:27:31
Agree with orco. Also, trying to compare NVDA to jaws 13 is like comparing something to narrator... Jaws 13 is a complete and utter disaster.

Hello, one thing I'm noticing after the yesterday's update of Firefox; with JAWS 18 at least, Firefox works considerably more slowly than it used to work in the previous versions. My Firefox version is 56.0.2.

I think the trouble with jaws is that because they have to release a new version every year to maintain their revenue stream, they also have to have something to justify it, so changes are being released into the public before they've been properly tested. Then they get fixed over the next year or so via updates. This might be why every other version seems to be a bit of a stinker.
Also I agree with orko, jaws is still worth the 6 UK quid it costs me a month. If NVDA were miles better than jaws, I certainly wouldn't pay 150 quid every couple of years to maintain it. I had NVDA as the sole reader on my old laptop in an effort to really give it a shot at being my main SR, but I never really adjusted to it, and always hankered after a return to jaws. Maybe if I'd used NVDA for years first, and then tried jaws, it would be the other way around, I'll never know. The only way the jaws vs NVDA contest could ever be a fair one would be if jaws were freely available to all regardless of income. Then it would be a true test of which is generally best, not which we respect and which we resent.

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate or resent NVDA, far from it, for what it is, a free and open source screen reader, I think it's an amazing product. But when I compare it to JAWS, JAWS wins, hands down. And while I agree that JAWS' initial price is a bit of a bitter pill to swallow, I do not regret spending the money on it in any way.
A couple of years ago I tried Firefox and used it for about a year, but accessibility problems, such as parts of the configuration screens not being accessible, and it's lack of even the most basic integration with Windows, like putting its bookmarks into a file, instead of a favorites folder, was rather annoying, so about a year ago I removed it and haven't missed it one little bit.
I'd consider looking at Chrome, but I've heard that it too has accessibility issues, so I just use what works best, Internet Explorer, and make it a point to be aware of its vulnerabilities. I would love to disable everything Active X because I know of no site that I visit that uses it, except for maybe Windows update. If I knew that Windows update wouldn't be affected I would disable Active X completely because about the only thing anybody seems to do with it is to push crap you don't want at you.
This message is beginning to wander a bit, so I'll quit now before it really goes out into left field.

The only reason I use chrome is because my internet explorer is version 8 and I can't access most sites, including the audiogames forum with it. However chrome doesn't work with jaws 12, so I have NVDA for it. I can't get internet explorer on windows 7 apparently.
#42 2017-10-29 20:56:38
@Rory, most odd, my lady has a windows 7 machine and the latest version of Ie, ie 11 and had no problems.
I can't speak about Jaws as my only experience was with a very much older version quite a long while ago, it wasn't positive but then again I only spent an afternoon tinkering and that more for curiosity than a real desire to use the thing (especially with it's price tag).
I used Supernova for many years but I've been just plane disappointed at it's windows 10 support, especially since the screen reader that used to be renowned for reading any and all on screen text back in the xp days now only works with specifically configured bits of windows, and not even all of those (eg windows 10 email). I've got it on this desktop and still run the update from time to time to see where the sub versions of v 16 are going, I haven't even bothered installing it on my laptop and I don't know if I will or won't bother getting v17, then again with Supernova the most I would have to pay for a version upgrade would be about 200 quid so I can always go back to it in the future if needs be.
I have however been using Nvda all year and have been very happy with it and now consider it my main screen reader.
With browsers I've never liked firefox with it's complications and system slow and am mainly happy with ie, however it is getting be a concern that a lot of modern html5 games and sites aren't working with ie. Microsoft should really do their job and update the thing properly, and no, I don't mean Microsoft edge with it's ridiculously silly tabs, endless adverts and insane layout.
I have considered trying chrome for some of the things ie won't do, though that is another topic.

I have internet explorer 11 on win 7. It's XP that won't let you go above IE8. Re respecting or resenting a screen reader: I was thinking more along the lines of people resenting FS than NVAccess. FS has certainly pissed me off a few times in the past. The cost of upgrades, the restrictive licensing, and having tech support issues ignored. I must have told them four times that there's a bug with jaws reading adobe digital editions that started with jaws 15. A problem that means copy protected epubs are no longer readable with jaws, unless you keep a copy of v14 or older, and keep switching just to read a book in ADE. Why they won't address this, or even explain why they aren't fixing it, I do not know. The fact that FS won't fix this problem means I had to buy a DRM stripper, and essentially break the law in order to read purchased epubs.
#44 2017-10-29 21:32:38
I'm running Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 7 Home Premium. The only thing I can't get with Windows 7 is Edge and from everything I've heard, that's probably a good thing.
#45 2017-10-30 07:49:38
The biggest problem with JAWS is that it always has some compatibility issues with new versions of software, and FS needs ages to fix that. That was ten years ago when Vista came out, that is happening again now with Firefox. Microsoft Edge wasn't supported by JAWS until recently, NVDA already supported it months and months before. This is ridiculous for a screen reader that costs a lot of money to not support something that is already supported by it's free alternative. Regarding stability, I even won't talk about JAWS's unstable Sapi 5 driver and how it crashes some tts synths that will never crash with NVDA. Don't even try to say "You know, that never happened to me". If it didn't to you, it happened to me, and that was enough for me to move away from JFW, because NVDA's SAPI5 driver at least never crashed on me or created a stupid buzzing sound like JAWS's did.
The problem is, they didn't work hard enough to fix bugs and support a new software on time, the only important thing is that they take money from people for nothing in return. That's why I've switched to NVDA, because it's at least free, so therefore it's not a problem if it fails somewhere, or if it doesn't support new software on time, although it usually supports new versions of Windows and some other software even before it's released, which is more than nice for a free screen reader. If I'm paying thousand dollars for a screen reader, it needs to be perfect, not good, I said perfect. And JAWS will probably be perfect for 50 years, because in my opinion the last realy stable version of JAWS was 7.0, nothing after that, and I've used it actively until version 13, although I've used 14 and 15 sometimes as well.
And regarding Internet Explorer, well guys I wish you a good luck with browser that is no longer supported by Microsoft, and that will sooner or later have security problems, because they've already replaced IE with Edge.

When I was a Windows user, the browser that I most used were Internet Explorer and Google Chrome. They're both work well for my daily tasks on the Internet. I rarely use Firefox, because I think Firefox is quite slow in my opinion. I only use it for solving captchas. But since the captchas on the internet now has audio in most websites, I never bother to install Firefox on my computer again if I were a Windows usr.
#47 2017-10-30 14:39:48 (edited by flackers 2017-10-30 14:47:06)
I think it'll be the fact that internet explorer is no longer being developed that will eventually cause me to switch to win 10. Think IE will become unusable long before the win 7 OS. That's what happened with XP anyway. But I'll worry about IE not working when it actually happens. And you never know, Chrome might be equally as user-friendly to jaws by that stage, and I'll not miss IE at all. Chrome is definitely the fastest browser I've tried, but like with firefox, there's always some pesky little issue that has me running back to IE. One thing I really don't like about Chrome though is the fact that no matter which boxes I uncheck during installation, it always installs addons to internet explorer. I think this is a pretty big liberty they're taking. They shouldn't mess with other browsers at all. I'm not talking about the google toolbar either, it's some other addon that I'm sure slows IE down a little bit.
#48 2017-10-30 15:16:50
Normally I'd have no problem switching from Internet Explorer to Edge because I know how vulnerable Internet Explorer has always been and will just get worse when Support for Windows 7 & 8 ends in 2020.
But it seems that no matter how much Microsoft talks about making their products accessible, it appears that the whole accessibility team took an extended leave of absence while Edge was being developed. Even Microsoft says that Edge has a very long way to go to become as accessible as Internet Explorer is now.
True and honest accessibility isn't something you tack on as an after thought, it has to be part of the design philosophy from day zero and the ground up. Otherwise it will always look and feel like an after thought rather than a part of the product's design.
#49 2017-10-30 19:19:43
I would like to make something clear as I feel there exists a kind of confusion here.
Certainly there is no question as to why do I need an accessible web browser, but the question seems to be do I need to upgrade to a newer Windows version to get a more accessible, or a new web browser? You can consider this question as a source of your new decision to upgrade to a new Windows version, but it should never, never be Windows 10!
The thing is just being licked into shape, and I see Windows more of doing experiments rather than creating a stable product that people can fall back on. Introduce and brag about a new feature on an upcoming edition of Windows 10, let people "enjoy" it for six months or so, and then take it away in the next edition.
Talking about accessibility of Windows 10 is the part where my nerves get on. The thing is far from anything that could be seen as meeting the accessibility standards that we all want. Microsoft edge isn't reasonably accessible, most of the apps so called modern are accessible with a great deal of work, notifications aren't properly read, that is, sometimes read, sometimes not read automatically, the start menu behaves sluggishly, and Microsoft with its new interface is being more selfish in creating a poorly designed environment at a point where they themselves do not yet meet the accessibility standards. Narrator is no more than a basic screen reader. Thinking about doing a project in Powerpoint with Narrator is a nightmare. I'd pay someone to do it rather than use Narrator to do the project.
