Pink's new song, 'True Love,' has quirky cute lyrics and a video to match, starring her husband Carey Hart and their cherubic daughter Willow. And it's all kinds of adorbz.
The video features scenes of domestic bliss between the couple and their little girl (dressed in a squee-worthy shirt reading "I'm all Hart"), switching between on-stage and behind the scenes shots of the singer during her tour.
It also finds Pink and her hubby in front of a green screen interacting with flash tattoo art, which somehow escalates into the cutest rose petal fight we'll probably ever see. (Also the only one we'll probably ever see.)
Bonus: It's a love song without being an overly sentimental schlock-fest. Because with lyrics like this, it has to be pure Pink:
"I wanna hug you / I wanna wrap my hands around your neck / You're an asshole but I love you / And you make me so mad I ask myself / Why I'm still here, or where could I go / You're the only love I've ever known / But I hate you, I really hate you, / So much, I think it must be / True love"
Que simultaneous "aaaawwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!"

U.S. stock index futures were sharply lower Wednesday triggered by worries over the looming "fiscal cliff" and as fears over Europe resurfaced, trumping an initial relief from President Barack Obama's re-election.
"I don't think there's a long-term market reaction to the presidential election itself—it's now how quickly we can focus on the 'fiscal cliff' and coming up with a resolution," said Art Hogan, managing director of Lazard Capital Markets. (Read More: For Investors, More Fed Easing, Cliff 'Heart Attack' Await)
Meanwhile, ratings agency Fitch said Obama needs to move quickly to avoid the "fiscal cliff" that is threatening the country's economic recovery, adding that failure to address the issue would likely result in a downgrade in 2013.
However, the dollar fell against other major currencies, on worries over the "fiscal cliff" and continued monetary expansion. Gold, copper and other commodity prices rose on the weakness in the greenback.
Obama was re-elected president Tuesday night, put over the top by the crucial battleground state of Ohio following the most expensive election in U.S. history.

Over the course of his career as the Million Dollar Man, Ted DiBiase flaunted his money, proving to the world that everyone has a price. Even Rob Van Dam.
Huh? RVD? He didn't face DiBiase in the ring during his career. DiBiase was long retired because of a bad back by the time the 'Whole F*N Show' got going.
But they did meet in Battle Creek, Michigan -- Van Dam's hometown -- during an in-ring skit. The Million Dollar Man challenged a youngster named Rob Szatkowski to cross the guard rail and kiss his feet for $100. Years later, that teen would grow into WWE superstar Rob Van Dam.
Now a minister, DiBiase remembered the early RVD sighting (now a bonus feature on the WWE's Before They Were Superstars DVD), other skits, and old friends during the Fan Slam fan festival in early December in Totawa, NJ.
"I don't really watch a lot of wrestling anymore. So I turn the TV on and ... I see this Rob Van Dam. Somebody comes up to me and says, 'Ted, do you remember that show you did where you had the kid come in the ring, and you took off your sweaty boot and had him kiss your feet? That kid, that's Rob Van Dam.'" DiBiase explained.
"I'd like to meet him now. 'Hey kid, want to kiss my feet again?'" he joked, eliciting laughter from the fans at the question and answer session.
The Million Dollar Man character was a Vince McMahon creation, through and through. DiBiase recalled being in the WWF office with McMahon and Pat Patterson, hearing the character described to him. "What's really funny was that during that interview, Vince got a call and I was left there in the room for a few minutes with Pat," DiBiase said. "Pat looked at me and said, 'You realize, Ted, if Vince could pull on the tights and climb in the ring, this is who he would be. So you have to know that to do this, this is almost like his alter-ego.' Those words were almost prophetic."
It isn't hard to imagine the current on-screen persona of Mr. McMahon doing the evil things that the Million Dollar Man used to do.
"We had a lot of fun with the character," DiBiase said. He gets asked all the time about the young, black child who was earnestly dribbling a basketball for the Million Dollar Man and his servant Virgil, when the ball was swatted away just before the prescribed goal was reached.
"We didn't really jilt the kid," admitted DiBiase. "Now, I did a lot of that at live events, where there was no television. It was improv. I had 300 bucks at my disposal all the time that help get the character over. I would hand-pick somebody out after an event and do something stupid to see if I could buy them. But anytime we did it on television, it was pre-arranged and determined. The kid got the money before we ever did the show."
With the basketball skit, he recalled joking backstage that he'd need an armored car to get out of the building. "I keep waiting for that kid to come up and walk up to me. He's got to be about 20 years old now, probably about 6'5". He's going to walk up one day, 'Remember me? The one that dribbled the basketball for you?'"
Virgil (aka Vincent in WCW, real name Mike Jones) was also at Fan Slam, and told the crowd that it was a wonderful experience serving as a second to the Million Dollar Man. "It was great. Full disposal of everything you wanted. A limousine 24-7. Vince made it unlimited money to spend. I thought it was a great gimmick."
The question and answer session, which also included 'Dr. D' David Shultz, The Missing Link (Dewey Robertson) and Gary Michael Capetta, took a somber turn as DiBiase addressed the recent deaths of many friends.
"It was 10 years ago last month that I physically retired from the ring. In those 10 years, 40 guys, all before the age of 45, are dead, and one woman, Elizabeth. And it's all because of drug and alcohol abuse. Every single one of them. That's a real tragedy," he said. "I'm tired of going to funerals."
A second-generation grappler, DiBiase says he is not bitter towards the wrestling industry, that it was good to him, and that he loved what he did. "I grew up in this business and I loved it. But, I'll be real honest with you. The one thing my dad never wanted me to be was a wrestler. Now I'm almost 50 years old, looking back and I have three sons, and I've told all of them, 'You'll be a wrestler over my dead body.'"
To DiBiase, too often the youngsters wanting to get into the business see the fame and money, and overlook the draining experience that the travel can be, the drug and alcohol abuse, the destroyed marriages, the destroyed families, the lack of a pension or health plan. "You look at the life of the wrestler, it looks pretty glamorous on the surface, because you see him at the arena, you see him being applauded, and 'Oh, gosh, look at the star.' But you don't see the miles and miles that they put on, you don't see the not-so-glamorous truck stops, baloney blowouts."
"I'm not sitting here crying about it because I understood what I was getting into," he said. "Anybody who cries ain't got no reason to cry. The business doesn't owe you anything. You'd better be smart with the money you make, you'd better understand what the business is when you get into it."

Creating Disruptive Products and Companies
When looking for a disruptive company, investors often look for a product idea that has never been done before. With this mentality, they also miss out on the best, most disruptive opportunities that take place in our industry. Yahoo and AltaVista (remember them) along with dozens of other VCs and individual investors passed on the opportunity to buy or invest in Google for a mere $1 million valuation in its early days. The investor reasoning was sound: the field of search was already dominated by Yahoo, Excite, Alta Vista and others. What chance would a newcomer have in a market that already has multi-billion dollar players?
It turns out being first to market, while it has great advantages, is not the predominant characteristic of disruptive companies. Think about portable digital music players. By the time Apple entered the market, there were more than 130 different MP3 devices in the wild. Apple was also late to the smart phone business. Facebook was late to the social media game, which was dominated by Friendster and later by MySpace before Facebook took over. YouTube was late to Internet Video as a brand new entrant in 2005. Or take the latest multi-billion dollar disruptor, Groupon. I can only imagine the pitch to potential investors: "We're going to create a coupon business where the receivers of the coupons will promote the coupon itself. Will you invest?" Ha!
So what makes a product or company disruptive?
If it's not first to market, then what is it? Superior technology? Nope. The landscape of the tech sector is covered by the corpses of companies and products with superior technology. Analyzing any of the disruptors of the past decade also quickly shows that none of them had superior technology at the time they first came to market.
So is it better marketing? Nope. That's not it either. Google had spent a total of $0 on advertising and marketing before it was a billion-dollar entity. Same with YouTube. I don't recall ever seeing a FaceBook ad. Today Facebook is valued at $50 Billion. Marketing and advertising can help accelerate the adoption of disruptive products. Apple has been great at that, but it wasn't and has never been the key to their success.
Disruptive products have one thing in common: A Disruptive User Experience.
Google's Disruptive Search Engine
Google's "Page Ranking" algorithm is often wrongly credited with being the reason behind Google's success. In fact, when random samples of search users are surveyed, time and again users are unable to detect a significant difference in organic search results across various engines. The Page Ranking algorithms used in Google's code was also quickly approximated by other search engines. So why did Google get the stickiness that so many dominant search engines of the time failed to replicate?
To answer that question, lets take a look at time-appropriate screenshots of AltaVista's home page and Google's home page:
If you knew nothing about either search engine, which of the above web sites would you prefer to use? The answer seems obvious now, but somewhere along the line, the dominant search engines had forgotten the most important reason they existed. Instead of leading their users to perform quick searches, they were after more page views and more ads per visit. They also had another problem: they had revenue. While Google was free to experiment with any user interface it wanted (it didn't have any revenues to worry about), existing search engines had to make sure they protected the millions of dollars they were already generating.
Google was disruptive by changing the user's experience when doing search. The home page popped up in sub-second time. There was hardly anything there. Google had to add a footer to their home page just so users would know it was done loading. It was faster than any other search page on the planet and you could do what you wanted and get the results before other search engines had loaded their front page. That was disruptive!
Apple Disrupts with iPod, iPhone then iPad
Looking at the string of disruptive products that Apple has released over the past decade, it's hard to remember they were on the verge of going out of business in 1996. What are some of the lessons we can learn from Apple's incredible comeback? Apple was first to market with the PC and even a GUI-based PC. Neither was enough to save it from a near-death experience in the 90s. In fact, when Steve Jobs took over in 1997, he had given up on trying to be first-to-market with new products. He already knew it didn't matter. My Rio MP3 player had been out for years before the iPod came out and I was a Windows Mobile phone user for more than 7 years before the iPhone 1 came out. It was also more feature-rich! It could multi-task, run any application, it had an SDK and could even copy and paste. None of that seemed to matter.
So what is it that made Apple so disruptive? Again, it's the user experience. Whether it's the iPod, the iPhone or the iPad, a 2-year old child can master the interface. No other product in its class could make such a claim. While I "could" do anything the iPhone could do with my Windows Mobile phone, I never had any desire to because of how complex the simplest actions were. Trying to scroll the screen on a phone made prior to the iPhone in 2007 was to ask for a slow and painful death.
Facebook Disrupts with 600 Million Users
Think about the single most important feature of a tool that would be used by nearly half of the Internet's population: Ease of Use. When FaceBook was launched, MySpace had already dominated the social network scene and was the single most popular site to put up a personal page and connect with friends. So what made Facebook so disruptive and gave it the ability to crush its largest competitors? Again, the answer lies in the user experience.
The difference was that when you visited a MySpace page, things appeared to be in chaos. Music would start playing. Random things would flash at you. There were sections with bits and pieces of information all over the page. And then there was the horrible use of colors. Looking back, it was terrible and so obvious that it couldn't be a site used by the masses.
Facebook changed the experience by having a uniform look and feel for user pages. It made it brain-dead simple to add friends and even used the social graph to recommend new friends.
Disruptive is: Easy. Intuitive. It Just Works!
The three most common things that disruptive technologies have in common is that their users would describe them all in the same way: Easy. Intuitive. It Just Works. In the early days of these technologies, if you had asked a user why they would have recommended Google over Yahoo, a MacBook over a Dell, an iPhone over Windows Mobile, FaceBook over MySpace -- their answers would be similar. All of these products have a disruptive user experience. So much so that they dominate their fields.
So when you search for that next disruptive product or company, forget about trying to solve a problem that nobody else has solved before. Look for problems where others have solved it in an inefficient way. Make your solution stand out by making it brain-dead simple. Make it disruptive by surprising the user with the ease of use. Make sure your users would fall in love with how your solution "just works."

Mom, daughter describe terrifying ordeal
A Des Moines family spoke out after a gunman opened fire on a north-side home late Tuesday.
Anna Ricks was sleeping and her daughter Sierra watching television when gunfire shattered their quiet night.
"I just thank God that he protected us," Ricks said,"because without his grace, none of us would be here."
No one was hurt in the shooting. Sgt. Jason Halifax of the Des Moines Police Department said they received a call about shots fired in the 1100 block of 14th Street.
"When officers arrived on scene at the house, they found six bullet holes in the house and some cartridge cases in the street," Halifax said.
Ricks said she can replace the material things, but couldn't replace her life or her child's.
Investigators said a neighbor saw three young men running from the scene after the shots were fired. Officers are searching for suspects and a motive.

Don't call our enterprise video customers innovative.
The WSJ reported on Wednesday that the word "innovation" is suffering from irrelevance due to overuse. So I'm not going to call these customers "innovative"; instead, let's call them cutting-edge, visionary, pioneering, creative, inspired.
On June 4, 2012, in Washington, D.C., Computerworld will recognize the achievements of the men, women, organizations and institutions around the world whose visionary applications of information technology promote positive social, economic and educational change as part of the Computerworld Honors Program.
We are extremely proud that two of our enterprise video customers are being recognized as Laureates at this year's Gala:
H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute
The mission of H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute is to advance the prevention and cure of cancer, serving patients who must often travel long distances multiple times during the course of treatment. Moffitt has implemented Cisco enterprise video solutions for video-on-demand and real-time video interaction that allow patients to access orientation information, consult with their physicians, and participate in support groups that can serve as an emotional lifeline, without repeated travel to Moffitt locations. They are also using enterprise video to maximize the time physicians spend on patient care as opposed to traveling to affiliate hospitals for Grand Rounds educational sessions.
Lone Star College System
Lone Star College System (LSCS) is committed to providing affordable, high-quality education to an increasingly diverse community and an expanding number of online students. As the fastest growing college in Texas, LSCS consists of six campuses and ten learning centers spread over 1,400 square miles, with a student population that has blossomed from 65,000 to 90,000 in just four years. Video plays a pivotal role in engaging today's students, who have been raised in an environment of anytime, anywhere access to digital media and have considerably different expectations about how to acquire and consume information than their predecessors. LCSC has adopted Cisco enterprise video technologies as the foundation for new ways of teaching and learning, and to improve staff and faculty productivity by enabling more frequent collaboration among locations.
Congratulations to all of this year's Laureates! (Just don't call them "innovative".)

BAMAKO, Mali - French military personnel are now helping Mali's military to fight radical Islamist rebels who control northern Mali and have advanced into the country's center, a Malian official said Friday.
Col. Abdrahmane Baby, a military operations adviser for the foreign affairs ministry confirmed that French troops had arrived in the country but gave no details about how many were there or what they specifically were doing.
"They are here to assist the Malian army," he told reporters in the capital, Bamako.
The announcement confirms reports from residents in central Mali who said Friday they saw Western military personnel arrive in the area, and that planes had landed at a nearby airport throughout the night.
The arrival of the French appears to be a response to a major push south by the Islamists, who seized the town of Konna on Thursday. The rebels have moved further south, toward the city of Mopti, where the Malian military has a major base. It is the furtherest south the rebels have gone since they grabbed control of northern Mali last year.
Earlier Friday, French President Francois Hollande said that the former colonial power was ready to help stop the advance of the Islamist extremists but did not specify what that would entail.
French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian wrote on his Twitter account Friday: "On the phone with (U.S. Defense Secretary) Leon Panetta about the Malian crisis. This afternoon with my European counterparts."
Residents who live near an airport about 30 miles (50 kilometers) from the captured town of Konna reported hearing planes arrive throughout the night. They could not say who, or what the planes were bringing.
The United Nations Security Council condemned the capture of Konna and called on U.N. member states to provide assistance to Mali "in order to reduce the threat posed by terrorist organizations and associated groups."
A regional military intervention to take back northern Mali from the Islamists was not likely before September, though the advance by the al-Qaida linked forces in the desert nation in northwest Africa creates pressure for earlier military intervention.
"France, like its African partners and the entire international community, cannot accept that," Hollande said in a speech to France's diplomatic corps, referring to the Islamists' advances.
A top French diplomat, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter, said that France is now able to deploy military assets - notably air power - over Mali "very quickly."
He insisted that Hollande's speech is "not just words. ... When you say that you are ready to intervene, you have to be."
However, he declined to provide details about how such military action might take shape. France's position has been complicated because kidnappers in northern Mali hold seven French hostages.
For months, Hollande has said France would not send ground forces into Mali, and France is sticking to those plans, the official said. But Hollande's speech suggested that French air power could be used, the official said.
The fighting Wednesday and Thursday over the town of Konna represents the first clashes between Malian government forces and the Islamists in nearly a year, since the time the militants seized the northern cities of Gao, Kidal and Timbuktu.
The Islamists seized the town of Douentza four months ago after brief standoff with a local militia, but pushed no further until clashes broke out late Wednesday in Konna, a city of 50,000 people, where fearful residents cowered inside their homes. Konna is just 45 miles (70 kilometers) north of the government-held town of Mopti, a strategic port city along the Niger River.
"We have chased the army out of the town of Konna, which we have occupied since 11 a.m.," declared Sanda Abou Mohamed, a spokesman for the Ansar Dine militant group, speaking by telephone from Timbuktu.
A soldier, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to journalists, acknowledged that the army had retreated from Konna. He said several soldiers were killed and wounded, though he did not have precise casualty figures. "We didn't have time to count them," he said.
While Konna is not a large town, it has strategic value as "the last big thing ... on the road to Mopti," said J. Peter Pham, director of the Africa program at the Washington-based Atlantic Council.
"I think the real target here is to seize the airstrip in Mopti, either to hold it or blow enough holes in it to render it useless," Pham said. "If you can seize the airstrip at Mopti, the Malian military's and African militaries' ability to fly reconnaissance in the north is essentially clipped."
Al-Qaida's affiliate in Africa has been a shadowy presence for years in the forests and deserts of Mali, a country hobbled by poverty and a relentless cycle of hunger. Most Malians adhere to a moderate form of Islam, where women do not wear burqas and few practice the strict form of the religion.
In recent months, however, the terror syndicate and its allies have taken advantage of political instability to push into Mali's northern towns, taking over an enormous territory they are using to stock weapons, train forces and prepare for jihad.
The Islamists insist they want to impose Shariah only in northern Mali, though there long have been fears they could push further south. Bamako, the capital, is 435 miles (700 kilometers) from Islamist-held territory.
The retreat by the Malian military raises questions about its ability to participate in a regional intervention.
Late last year, the 15 nations in West Africa, including Mali, agreed on a proposal for the military to take back the north, and sought backing from the United Nations.
The U.N. Security Council has authorized the intervention but imposed certain conditions. Those include training of Mali's military, which has been accused of serious human rights abuses since a military coup last year sent the nation into disarray.
Larson reported from Dakar, Senegal. Associated Press writers Jamey Keaten in Paris and Edith M. Lederer at the United Nations contributed to this report.

The year is 20XX and a suspicious outbreak of Roboenza, a Robot Flu, has broken out. It spreads through the world like wildfire bringing down robots everywhere. Infected robots have rampaged out of control, destroying the city and holding it hostage! Who's behind this mess? It's up to Mega Man to take on this sinister threat and get to the bottom of this viral mystery.
Mega Man 10 once again brings back the nostalgic perfection of classic 2D Mega Man gameplay, embracing retro platform action and NES-inspired old-school graphics. Through-out Mega Man's adventure he'll take on the malfunctioning infected robots and classic-style bosses that can only found in Mega Man games. Each one has their own unique weapons and vulnerabilities. Great new additions to Mega Man 10 include the option to play as fan-favorite character Proto Man from the start, as well as an all new "Easy Mode" which will allow more fans to indulge in the challenges that make the series great.

The Blue Bomber is back in all of his 8-bit glory.
Mega Man 10 is hard. And when I say that, I mean "hard by Mega Man standards" kind of hard. It's as though some insane Capcom mastermind played through all of the old Mega Man games -- among them, some of the most difficult 2D platformers ever made -- and thought to himself, "Man, this isn't hardcore enough" before sitting down and mapping out the sadistic journey that is MM10.

Hi Janet I wish you would be fine. My name is fateme a Muslim girl from Iran. I am quit happy to find your blog and I've linked you in my blog. During last few years, some fashion festivals named "My Country Females" have been held in Iran. Unfortunately, these festivals don't have enough experience and influence yet. Hopefully, they will gradually improve to have effective influences very soon. I'll send you the pictures of the last fashion festival. Maybe it would be useful for you.
See you soon

As Salaamu Alaikum,
totally wish I could take you shopping with me, so you need to move to the united states, not only because of the cheaper cost of living but because we have a totally different style sense, plus I'm curious to what even you could hijabify at the store.
I love this blog though. I always print out pictures for shopping ideas.
I also bet you have the best closet.
A Happy Hijaabi

Basbousa - office wear is so easy. As long as you have a basic black skirt and black trousers, you're sorted!
srtuba - aww lol, wait for the sales? :P
mrshusin - mashallah! May Allah (swt) make it easy for you. Glad you're finding the blog useful!
Anon - I personally don't think it should be done. This is because the boots are usually tight, so show the shape of the leg anyway. Also your thighs tend to show when you climb stairs, sit down, when the wind blows, etc., plus what happens when you need to take them off? I just avoid it.
fateme - thanks for the links!
Happy Hijaabi - this is quite surreal lol, I used to read Quest's blog for um, light entertainment! And no my wardrobe is not that amazing lol, but my sizeable hijab collection I am rather fond of :D

British lawmakers reject military action in Syria, in setback for Obama administration
British lawmakers on Thursday voted against military intervention in Syria, in a major setback for both British Prime Minister David Cameron and the Obama administration in their push to punish the Assad regime for an alleged chemical weapons strike.
Cameron, who has been aligned with President Obama in advocating a tough response, indicated after the vote that he would abide by the outcome. The measure was narrowly defeated, by 285 votes to 272 votes.
The outcome raises serious questions for Obama, who has not yet made a decision on the way forward in Syria but had indicated his administration would need international support for any strike. After failing to win support for an anti-Assad resolution before the U.N. Security Council, U.S. officials were looking to allies like Britain and France to build a coalition for action in Syria.
The White House said after the vote that it would continue to assess its options on Syria.
"The U.S. will continue to consult with the U.K. Government – one of our closest Allies and friends. As we've said, President Obama's decision-making will be guided by what is in the best interests of the United States," said National Security Council spokesperson Caitlin Hayden.
Speaking at a news conference Friday in Manila, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said the Obama administration was consulting with allies to "further develop the facts" about last week's alleged chemical weapons attack
The U.K. vote was on a preliminary measure and not technically binding. Even if the measure was approved, Cameron would likely have had to seek another round of approval in a matter of days. But Cameron now risks a political backlash if he proceeds at all; he said Thursday that he understands the British people do not want to see the U.K. involved in Syria.
"It is very clear tonight that, while the House has not passed a motion, it is clear to me that the British parliament, reflecting the views of the British people, does not want to see British military action. I get that and the government will act accordingly," he said.
Polls in the United States have shown similar distaste among Americans for military action in Syria. But Obama and his top advisers, despite the vote in London, were trying to convince Congress on Thursday of the need to respond, holding a series of briefings as lawmakers increasingly voiced skepticism toward any military strike.
The president on Thursday afternoon personally briefed House Speaker John Boehner, who a day earlier wrote to the president urging him to provide a "clear, unambiguous explanation" on how military action would serve U.S. interests.
Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck reiterated those questions after the call. "Only the president can answer these questions, and it is clear that further dialogue and consultation with Congress, as well as communication with the American public, will be needed," he said.
The White House also held a major briefing Thursday evening with key lawmakers. Many of those lawmakers are still in their districts and elsewhere for the summer recess, so most were dialing in for a conference call.
Following the briefing, several lawmakers expressed a willingness to consider intervention in Syria.
"I would support surgical,proportional military strikes given the strong evidence of the Assad regime's continued use of chemical warfare," said Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN), the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said, "tonight's briefing reaffirmed for me that a decisive and consequential U.S. response is justified and warranted."
Over the past 48 hours, dozens of other lawmakers have spoken out on the potential for military action in Syria. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, called the policy "a big step in the wrong direction."
Yet the White House is standing by its position that intervention in Syria, in response to an alleged chemical weapons attack last week, would serve U.S. interests. White House spokesman Josh Earnest also rejected the notion that the current situation was in any way similar to the run-up to the Iraq war under the George W. Bush administration.
"I think that there are some very important differences. What we saw in that circumstance was an administration that was searching high and low to produce evidence to justify a military invasion, an open-ended military invasion of another country, with the final goal being regime change," he said.
"What we have seen here, tragically, is a preponderance of evidence available in the public domain that the Assad regime used chemical weapons against innocent civilians. And we don't have to search high and low for that evidence."
Meanwhile, the administration was continuing to face turbulence among its allies. Amid the vote in Britain, the five permanent members of the Security Council -- including the U.S. and Britain -- were meeting in New York. Russia has so far proved most resistant to any involvement in Syria.
In an interview with PBS on Wednesday, Obama bluntly declared that the Syrian government carried out a chemical weapons attack last week. He suggested a "shot across the bow" for Syria could be in the interest of U.S. national security.
Meanwhile, battle lines are being drawing in the international community. After Russia refused to sign on to a Britain-drafted resolution before the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday, Reuters reports that Russia is sending two warships to the Mediterranean Sea, where the U.S. has also positioned ships. A fifth U.S. Navy Destroyer was sent into the eastern Mediterranean on Thursday.
The Navy has also boosted its presence in the Persian Gulf, adding one more aircraft carrier.

McLane Stadium first to offer collegiate replays on fans' mobile devices
USA TODAY put it best: "Baylor fans who attend games at the school's new $260 million McLane Stadium will get to experience something no other collegiate fan base has experienced before."
With the new Baylor In-Game App (pictured above) and special high-density Wi-Fi throughout McLane Stadium, Baylor is transforming the gameday experience for Bear fans and providing an array of experiences that will be the envy of fan bases everywhere.
[DOWNLOAD THE APP: For iPhone/iPad || For Android devices]
When it debuts on August 31, McLane Stadium will be the first to offer all fans inside the stadium the ability to select and stream instant replays from multiple angles on their phones or tablets. The Baylor In-Game App, available for both iPhones and Android devices, will also offer live video, live stats, and links to social media, the team roster, schedule, even parking directions. Yinzcam, which partnered with Baylor to produce the app, makes these custom apps for professional teams across the nation, but Baylor is the only college to offer these benefits — and all for free.
To ensure that all fans are able to enjoy this "immersive fan experience," Baylor is also offering free high-density Wi-Fi. Gone are the days of seeing the Bears make a great play and struggling to text, tweet or brag about it to friends not at the game. Baylor spent an additional $2 million to equip McLane Stadium with a Wi-Fi network capable of handling gameday wireless traffic. Extreme Networks which, like Yinzcam, counts numerous professional teams among their client list, provides the Wi-Fi system equipped to support the tens of thousands of Baylor fans using their mobile devices throughout the game.
[MEDIA COVERAGE: Yahoo! Sports || USA TODAY || Waco Tribune-Herald]
And if the prospect of all these new mobile opportunities seems foreign to you (we know not everyone uses their mobile device as much as some of us do), fear not — McLane Stadium will feature "Wi-Fi coaches" inside the stadium to help you connect, to answer questions from the simple to the complex, to guide you through the app and to troubleshoot if you encounter a problem. The Wi-Fi coaches are a notable example of how McLane Stadium can be used educationally for Baylor, as well as athletically.
Baylor Management Information Systems students from the Hankamer School of Business will gain valuable experience serving as the coaches. Customer service won't merely be something they discuss in class; it will be something they experience on the front lines of game day. The specially trained students will work in pairs at locations around the stadium to answer fans' questions and solve their problems before and during games (up to halftime); you'll recognize them by their bright yellow vests clearly marked "Wi-Fi Coach."
[WATCH Baylor Athletics video about McLane Stadium's quantum leap in stadium technology || See a video preview of the app]
So come confident and ready to utilize everything you can find at McLane Stadium, but nowhere else in the college landscape. The details are all covered, right down to making sure you learn how to use them to their fullest potential.
Sic 'em, McLane Stadium technology!

Fire: What it means to me
By Prashant Gupta
21 Nov 2012
HI!! Friends I am back,
This time lets discuss one of the most horrifying dangerous and at the same time most motivating thing present in this world
I'll begin with some lines which I wrote the first I started thinking about this topic
Fire of passion, matter of trust
grew in me, enriched my thirst
To be the best, to be the hardest
To light a lamp in the darkest
Fire has varied symbolizations. It has been symbolized in many ways:
Energy, Power, Passion, Action, Creativity, Authority, Consumption, The Untamed, Meditation, Affirmation, Journeying, Devotional
Every person has its own meaning and symbolization of fire. Everyone has its own reasons behind it. But whatever be the reason on the whole everyone adores the power, the beauty, the heat of FIRE.
Neither am I a exception. I have a very strong attraction towards fire. Its untamable power, its incomparable light, its golden yellow beautiful flames always filled me with an inspiration to be the best.
motivation to be the best, to be at the top of the lader.
I believe that whatever achievements you have made, however successful you are, but if there is no fire, no passion in your heart, you'll find your life boring and even sometimes worthless.
The fire, the passion in you makes you work harder and better every day, every second
it helps you be the happy, it gives you the feeling of satisfaction of doing what you wanted to do.
Few days ago I wrote a small (in my mother tongue, HINDI) poem to expressing these feelings in my heart. http://jpgmag.com/photos/3464889
I am very thankful to one of my best friends BHARTI PALIWAL for translating the poem in English for me. http://jpgmag.com/photos/3465042
(Both are included in this story in form of pics)
Being a person closely related with creative fields, I have observed this fire, this passion in people from very close. Have found them being better and better every day.
What I mean to say is that, whatever you do, whatever is your profession, whatever are the conditions, you should always have a fire burning inside your heart, motivating you every day, every night.
Once again I am very thankful to BHARTI PALIWAL for her excellent translation of the poem.
Thank you dear ïŠ
Hope you'll like my work ïŠ
Comments and criticism are most welcomed
every comment means a lot to me, works as an inspiration to me

Prosecutors and defense attorneys in the George Zimmerman case returned to a Sanford courtroom to continue a hearing Friday, three days before his trial is scheduled to begin.
The hearing before Circuit Judge Debra Nelson began shortly before 9:30 a.m. with prosecutors calling voice recognition expert Tom Owen to testify at the hearing, which will determine whether Owen and other voice experts can testify at the trial.
Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in February 2012. He has pleaded not guilty, claiming self-defense. His trial is set to begin Monday.
FBI voice expert Hirotaka Nakasone testified during Thursday's hearing. Nelson hasn't ruled yet whether she'll accept his testimony.
Earlier Thursday, Nelson denied a defense request to let some witnesses testify confidentially at the trial.
The judge also heard testimony after defense attorneys asked her to sanction prosecutors for alleged delays in turning over evidence from Martin's phone. But she decided to suspend the hearing on that matter until after the trial, saying she was concerned that if it continued, the trial wouldn't start on time.
George Zimmerman has sued NBCUniversal, the parent company of this site, for defamation. The company has strongly denied his allegations.

Garsh says state police failed to include items on search warrant application
FALL RIVER — A cellphone and three iPads that police seized from Aaron Hernandez's North Attleborough home last summer will not be allowed into evidence because police failed to include those items on their search warrant application.
On Tuesday, superior court Judge E. Susan Garsh wrote that state police detectives were careless when they applied for the search warrant. The judge added that it appeared that Trooper Michael Cherven, who applied for the warrant, apparently did not read it before he and other troopers searched Hernandez's home on June 18, 2013.
"Had he done so, he would have spotted the fact that the GPS devices and evidence of damage to the Altima were omitted from the description of the property sought to be searched," Garsh said.
Cherven had written an affidavit in support of the search warrant saying that he wanted to obtain electronic devices equipped with GPS because Hernandez, the former Patriots tight end, had previously said that he had homicide victim Odin Lloyd's address saved in his GPS. Cherven also said that he was looking for any evidence from the damaged Nissan Altima believed to have been used during Lloyd's murder in the North Attleborough Industrial Park.
Prosecutors allege that Hernandez, 24, and two accomplices drove Lloyd, 27, of Dorchester, to the industrial park, where he was shot five times with a .45-caliber handgun. Hernandez is charged with murder and firearms-related offenses.
Despite the police interest in the GPS-equipped items, the actual search warrant application listed only Hernandez's cellphone, which had a Connecticut-area phone number, as well as his home video surveillance system.
During a motion hearing in June, Cherven testified that the search warrant, affidavit and application form were paper-clipped together in a folder when they were presented to a clerk magistrate. Cherven also said that he carried the materials in a manila folder during the search at Hernandez's home.
However, Garsh wrote Tuesday that she "does not credit" Cherven's testimony, and she added that the unedited television news footage during the search does not show Cherven carrying any documents into Hernandez's home. Garsh said the only document that Hernandez apparently saw was the actual search warrant, not the affidavit.
"The police operated under the misimpression that the search warrant authorized the seizure of GPS devices when they seized the cellphones and tablets from Hernandez's residence," Garsh wrote.
In addition, Garsh noted that a state police detective had already obtained the cellphone specifically mentioned in the search warrant well before police seized the iPads and an iPhone that had a "bedazzled" case, which Garsh suggested that police had no reasonable basis to believe was the phone they were authorized to seize.
Hernandez's lawyers had filed a motion to suppress all the evidence taken from the residence, on the basis that police had no probable cause to believe that Hernandez had committed a crime. Garsh previously denied the defense team's request to suppress the cellphone and home video surveillance system that were mentioned in the warrant.

See electoral roll information
The roll is not available for sale in any format.
Your name may have been removed from the electoral roll if the AEC was unable to confirm your enrolment details.
The AEC conducts regular reviews to maintain an accurate and up-to-date electoral roll. Information from other agencies assists this process. If the AEC has received information that an enrolled person has moved, the AEC will try to make contact, through the 'Continuous Roll Update' program, which includes direct mail and door-knocking.
If the AEC does not receive a response, your name can be removed from the roll and you will not be able to vote. To vote you need to re-enrol.
People in the early stages of dementia, who are still capable of understanding the nature and significance of enrolment and voting, may be able to continue to enrol and vote. You should speak with the person and with their doctor to determine if they maintain the capacity to understand the voting process. Where people may require additional support to enrol and vote, the AEC provides a range of information written in Easy English. Easy English is more accessible for people who have difficulty reading and understanding written information.
If your relative has dementia and they are no longer capable of understanding the nature and significance of enrolment and voting, you will need to complete a form to remove their name from the electoral roll. The medical certificate on the form must be completed and signed by a registered medical practitioner. Once the form is completed please return it to the AEC.
The AEC also provides information for senior citizens.
No, it is compulsory for Australian citizens 18 years and over to enrol and vote. Once enrolled, your name and address is added to the electoral roll.
However, there are special enrolment options. For example, if you are going overseas indefinitely or permanently, you can apply to have your name removed. If you believe having your address appear on the electoral roll puts you or your family at risk, you can apply to be a silent elector.
If you have an objection to another person being on the electoral roll you should contact the AEC.
If you believe that a person, whose name appears on the electoral roll, is not entitled to be enrolled for any of the objection reasons listed then you may notify the AEC of your objection to their enrolment by:
To object to a person's enrolment for any reason other than because the person is of unsound mind, you must be enrolled in the same electorate as the person named in your objection.
If your relative has died, the AEC will remove their name from the electoral roll when we are:
To request a relative's name be removed from the roll, complete the notification of a relative who has died form.
At election time, an update on recent deaths is obtained prior to printing the certified list of voters to ensure the electoral roll is accurate at the time of voting.
Under the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, the electoral roll (containing names and addresses):
The National Library of Australia in Canberra has available selected microfiche of the Commonwealth Electoral Rolls from 1901 to 2008. The library also holds a limited number of state electoral rolls on microfiche for the time prior to Federation. The state libraries and some local libraries may hold copies of electoral rolls. A guide to researching historic Australian electoral rolls is also available on the National Library of Australia website.
The current penalty for commercial use of past or current electoral rolls is 1 000 penalty units.
The Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 underpins the electoral process. Any changes to this law are decided by the Parliament, not by the AEC.
If you would like to recommend changes to this law, you can contact your representative in the Senate or the House of Representatives or write to the Parliament's Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters.

Cole admits Liverpool move a mistake
Joe Cole admits his decision to join Liverpool in 2010 was a mistake, claiming his only other option was an unthinkable move to Tottenham.
Cole, 31, spent two-and-a-half years as a player at Anfield but failed to become a regular in the first team, being sent out on loan to Lille last season before rejoining his boyhood club West Ham in January.
The England international says he never felt comfortable at Livepool but was forced to take up the only offer that appealed to him.
"I can only play for teams that I'm passionate about and I think that's what went wrong for me at Liverpool," Cole said. "I didn't feel a connection with the club or the place that I had at Chelsea and West Ham.
"I had seven great years at Chelsea but the club wanted to go in a certain direction and I wasn't involved. So I was left with two real options - Liverpool or Spurs.
"Spurs was probably the best option because they were offering me a five-year deal and it meant I could stay in familiar surroundings.
"But I just couldn't do it, I just couldn't see myself pulling that Spurs shirt over my head. With the rivalry between Spurs and West Ham and Chelsea, it felt a bit mercenary."
Cole believes the mentality at Liverpool made it difficult for him to settle in, with their insistence on being known as the "biggest club in the country" catching him off guard.
"When I joined, the guy interviewing me said 'you've joined the biggest club in the country' and reeled off the trophies they'd won," he said. "I just said 'yeah, if you put it like that, I suppose you're right' and Liverpool used that as the headline to the interview.
"I didn't want to upset anyone so I just went along with it. But obviously they're not the biggest club in the country any more. How do you judge how big a club are? Nottingham Forest won the European Cup twice but they're not a bigger club than Chelsea."
Although issues with match time plagued Cole at Chelsea, he seemed more motivated to break into the Blues' line-up than he did at Liverpool.
"I rolled in at Chelsea on my first day thinking 'I'm going to be a big part of this club'," he added. "Then Sebastian Veron walks through the door with about five agents. Same position as me, costing three or four times as much.
"As soon as I signed, (former owner Ken) Bates said to me: 'Congratulations, son, you've joined to sit on our bench'. I just thought 'I'll show you' and a year later I was playing regularly and Veron was off."
And his decision to return to Upton Park was not only buoyed by an unhappy stint with the Reds.
"I was missing London and my family and I had a personal tragedy in December when my brother-in-law died. I got an opportunity to go back to West Ham and I don't want to move any more."

Amore owner to retire after 50 years, taking Italian pizza recipe with him
Restaurateur leaving business, taking memories
Retiring after more than 50 years in the restaurant business, Al Carozza is not yet sure what he's going to do with his free time.
The owner of Amore Restaurant in Springdale, which has been in business at 921 Hope Street for 39 years, is leaving the business on Sunday and taking his signature pizza recipe, learned in his mother's kitchen in Italy, along with him. Carozza, a Stamford resident and father of three, is retiring from running Amore to spend more time with his grandchildren and because, as he notes, after nearly 40 years of working early mornings and late nights, it's time to call it a day. The restaurant, however, will still exist in a new iteration: Carozza has sold Amore to celebrity restaurateur Bruno DiFabio, who will keep the name but alter the interior and the menu, Carozza said.
Even in its newer form, Amore will retain its history as Stamford's second-oldest restaurant (Pellicci's Restaurant, on Stillwater Avenue, is the oldest). Amore employs nine people as kitchen staff and waiters; once the restaurant changes ownership, two of those employees will be retiring, while the rest will be looking for other work.
"The restaurant is definitely going to be missed," Carozza said of his mindset on retiring. "I've gotten so attached to my customers that I'm not going to walk away without being emotionally tied to this restaurant."
Amore Restaurant has seen first-hand many changes in the restaurant business, the neighborhood and the local economy, and has weathered the swells and troughs accordingly. Carozza can recall when customers took a while to get accustomed to smoking bans inside restaurants, and when the economy started to take a downward turn a number of years ago. Regular customers would disappear for a while, and then return, and lulls in the business would be compensated by busier periods. The way to handle these changes, Carozza said, is to be patient and maintain consistency. On a busy day, Amore could get about 150 customers into the restaurant, Carozza said.
"Think of the times they've made it through, the different recessions and all the restaurants that have come and gone in that time," said Jack Condlin, president of the Stamford Chamber of Commerce, who remembers holding business lunches at Amore. "It shows that their food was always good, home-cooked food and was consistent."
Carozza credits his work ethic, whether making pizza in the kitchen or, as he has done more recently, managing customers front-of-house, to good early training. Born in Abruzzo, Italy, he moved to the United States in 1956 at the age of nine and began working in a drugstore in Yonkers, N.Y., where he learned how to treat customers so they'd return satisfied, he said. His first restaurant, Pat's Pizza in the Bronx, eventually led to a string of other restaurants in New Rochelle, Stamford, Greenwich and Bridgeport. When Amore opened in 1976, Carozza and his wife, Patricia, who passed away six years ago, worked from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. to get the business running.
"When I opened up, people were all over the place," Carozza said. "Then that slows down, and you build up a client base and people start to come back every week, every month. It's the consistency of being dedicated to opening the door at the same time every day."
"Business changes, it goes down and then people come back," he said. "You can't be greedy in this business. It's not set in stone that you'd make X amount of dollars each year."
Aside from its longevity in Springdale -- which Carozza described as a quiet little village when Amore first opened -- the restaurant is known for its pizza, he said. In 2009, Amore won the title of the city's best pizza, according to the Stamford Pizza Tour, an informal survey conducted by three Stamford residents. But, when Amore Restaurant reopens under the leadership of DiFabio, a former judge on the Food Network show, "Chopped," and owner of Greenwich's ReNapoli, customers will taste a new recipe. Carozza noted he'll be happily returning to the restaurant as a customer. It will be an adjustment, he said.
"The first weekend I have off, I'm going to be so uncomfortable not being in the restaurant," Carozza said. "I'm going to be free to do all the things I want to do and I don't know what to do. It's going to be funny."

I have to admit that I have a strong bias towards jiaozi (饺子). Besides Shanghainese soup dumplings (xiaolongbao), my favorite Chinese dumplings are thin-skinned and pan-fried, the kind found mainly in Southern China or New York's $1-for-5 fried dumpling joints. Northern Chinese-style dumplings, which offer more thick doughy skin than filling, just can't compare.
What's better than anything a restaurant or dumpling stall can offer are homemade jiaozi, hot off the skillet. On my last day in Zhongshan my mother and I bought dumpling skins from a lady specializing in doughy things like wrappers and noodles, and spent an hour or two wrapping dumplings for dinner.
Since I have so many photos from that afternoon, I thought I would do a pictoral guide on jiaozi-making. (Often dumpling recipes fail to show the step-by-step process in folding.) Also included is my mother's fool-proof method for getting perfectly crisp pan-fried dumplings without burning them.
Pan-fried Pork and Cabbage Jiaozi, a Recipe in Pictures 猪肉白菜饺子
Makes 50 to 60
Lightly dust your work surface with flour and keep some extra flour within hand's reach.
Dumpling wrappers: When I lived in the US, I always got my wrappers from Chinatown markets (the round kind, labeled for jiaozi(饺子) instead of for wontons (馄饨).). They are a hassle to make at home, but if you really want to give it a try, check out this post from Noodles and Rice.
For the filling, mix together: 1 lb ground pork, 1 cup shredded Napa cabbage, 2 tablespoons minced shallots, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 2 teaspoons salt or 1 tablespoon soy sauce, a pinch of ground pepper.
Egg wash: Gently beat 1 or 2 eggs.
(The hands shown are Mom's. They are beautifully rough from decades of lovingly cooked meals.)
Folding the dumplings:
1. With a pastry brush or small pastry spatula, spread egg wash around the edge of the wrapper. Place a small spoonful of filling in the middle. (Be careful not to put too much; it'll leek out during the folding process.)
2. Pinch the edge of the wrapper and make a fold like you see in Step 2. (If you're a beginner at folding, place the wrapper on a flat surface while you work. Otherwise, keep it in your hand.)
3. Make 2 more identical folds in the same direction, until you end up with 3 folds, as shown in Step 3.
4. Bring the folded side together with the no-folds side, and press to seal.
5. Line finished dumplings on a plate. Keep extra wrappers covered, preferably with a moist towel, to prevent them from drying out.
6. Pan-frying*: Have about 1/2 cup water, a large skillet, and a lid for the skillet handy. Heat the skillet with about 1 to 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over high heat. Wait about 1 minute for the oil to heat up. (You can also use a small piece of extra dumpling wrapper or bread to test whether the pan is hot enough; it should sizzle immediately upon being placed in the pan.) Once the pan is hot, place the number of dumplings you want to cook smooth side down in the pan. Allow them to sear for about 1 to 2 minutes, until the bottoms turn golden brown. Add the water, immediately cover with a lid, and let the dumplings steam for another 3 to 4 minutes.
7 . Uncover the lid to allow any extra water to evaporate before turning off the heat. Loosen the dumplings with a spatula (or chopsticks!) and transfer them to a plate. Whatever you don't cook can be frozen for later.
8. Et voilà! Plate them nicely or just pile 'em up family-style. Just make sure to wait a few minutes before digging in or you risk burning your mouth.
Notes: Of course, these jiaozi can also be boiled (水饺 shuíjiǎo). To boil the dumplings instead, bring a pot of water to boil. Add dumplings and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain well.

Triton Ballpark can now truly lay claim to being one of the premier baseball fields in all of San Diego County. The facility on UC San Diego's East Campus boasts a brand-new look outside the foul lines, having undergone a major renovation ahead of and during the 2015 season. Some of the main ballpark features include a permanent grandstand to seat just over 500, a press box, new sunken dugouts, a food-truck area, and restrooms, among a number of other amenities. The backstop netting comes all the way down to the ground, putting Triton fans closer to the action than ever before. Read details here.
The Marye Anne Fox Clubhouse (at right) down the right field line, named after UC San Diego's seventh chancellor (2004-12), was introduced to the Tritons on March 17, 2015. Watch a short clip here. The 4,000-square-foot structure has separate locker rooms with showers for players and coaches, coaches' offices, and a multipurpose player lounge with tables and chairs for optimal studying, as well as three flat-screen, smart televisions (with cable and Netflix) and video-game consoles for entertainment.
Triton Ballpark's extensive renovation was completed enough for competition to take place as scheduled with an Opening Day doubleheader on Sunday, Feb. 1, 2015. The first pitch at the new Triton Ballpark came from Trevor Scott, the first hit and RBI by Brandon Shirley, the first run by Tyler Howsley, and the first home run in the form of a grand slam by Brian Choi. The official Triton Ballpark re-opening and clubhouse dedication took place on April 10, 2015, with the San Diego Union-Tribune present. View photo galleries from the ballpark construction here, Opening Day here, and clubhouse dedication here.
Previously on Saturday, Jan. 29, 2011, the first-ever night game was played at the venue after lighting was installed.

Perfect In Case of Slips or Falls
Get Security and Protection for Yourself or Your Loved ones with our Medical Alert Systems.
Stay Safe in Your Own Home.

A medical alert system can provide many elderly and disabled individuals with the ability to live on their own, and exercise a high degree of independence. Here's what you need to know before signing up with a medical alert system provider.
Technically, an alert system is normally comprised of a wrist band transmitter " resembling a wrist watch " or a necklace-type transmitter that is worn at all times. If the individual should have a medical problem or accident, they can simply press a button on the worn transmitter to communicate with the medical alert monitoring center.
This helps the monitoring center specialist to better advise you in case of a medical emergency, and they may also send emergency medical help if required. Optionally, the monitoring center can be instructed to also contact one or more of your relatives whenever the help button is pressed.The price of a medical alert system can vary according to the level of service you require, but in general they are a very reasonably-priced alternative to assisted living centers.
Benefits of Medical Alert System in Vivian Louisiana
These types of emergency systems have many benefits associated with them. One of the main benefits is that they provide help to individuals when they cannot get to a telephone to call emergency medical services. Since the medical alert devices are worn on their wrists or around their necks, all they have to do is to reach up and hit the designated button and they will be contacted with the medical alert company right away. This convenience is one benefit of the medical system.
Another benefit to the medical system is that it provides independence to individuals who may not have been able to live alone without such a device. By having this type of system in place, if the individual is a senior citizen they will feel confident in living alone as will their family members who know that a medical alert system is right by their side.
Medical alert devices are also quite reasonable in cost. Depending on the type of system one orders, they may have to pay for the devices in addition to a monthly monitoring fee. The prices will vary from company to company in Guam but overall the price is reasonable and is usually around $30 per month. When viewing everything that one gets for this price it can easily be justified and seen as a great deal.

Questions about the Personal Emergency Response System
A medical alarm can produce a huge difference in the lives of elderly people and people with special needs. Also known as a medical alert or Personal Emergency Response System (PERS), it was created to signal the presence of a hazard needing instant awareness and summon emergency medical workers. Seniors or disabled people residing by themselves are the primary users of this kind of device.
Household accidents are common, but there are instances where they can be fatal. These are mostly cases where victims may have made it if help had showed up sooner. Seniors or individuals with disabilities have a higher risk for these things, and may be unable to cope with them without having assistance. This is when a medical alarm could be invaluable.
The standard of help that wearers of medical alert system have entitlement to is another major selling point. People who answer calls at the monitoring center are trained to handle medical emergencies and will provide instant assistance. Users' private information is usually kept on file to ensure that good care and precautions are taken when responding to medical problems or emergencies.
Among the reasons why elderly people move to assisted living facilities and leave their homes is the fear that there won't be any one to help in an emergency or accident while living alone. However, there are many who feel that they may lose their sense of independence inside a an elderly care facility or retirement home. Using a medical alarm can successfully eliminate the primary reason for going into an assisted living situation and allows seniors to have their dignity and freedom intact.
Just like all consumer products, medical alert systems vary in terms of price and features such as range, hours of standby power, repair and replacement options, payment options, and setup time. There are numerous providers and vendors for this service, so it is important to do some research and product comparison before buying. This way, users can be assured of a product that fits their needs and lifestyle.

Medical alarm systems for seniors can mean the difference between life and death. Each year, more than one-third of senior citizens living alone experience a fall. This is a terrifying event if the person has to spend hours or days on the floor with no help. This or any other type of emergency requires immediate medical attention. Receiving immediate care decreases the level of sustained injuries and increases the chances of survival.
Literally having a medical alarm system at your fingertips ensures prompt medical care in an emergency. Many seniors fear falling when no one is around. This causes many to limit their daily activities. A reduction in physical fitness and mobility can increase the risk of falling. Further, inactivity reduces the quality of life for many seniors.
The security of a medical alert system removes the daily risks for many seniors. A medical alert system from companies such as Monitor Me helps thousands of seniors regain their independence, sense of security and quality of life.
In the age of the cell phone, many seniors might think a medical alert system is redundant. Unlike a cell phone that is subject to dropped calls, a medical alert system is designed to be reliable and simple to use. Even during a stressful situation, all a senior citizen has to do is press a button. He or she is immediately connected to a certified EMT who assesses the situation and provides paramedics with pertinent information.
Everyone does not carry a cell phone constantly. However, the pendant that comes with the alert system can be worn as a necklace or bracelet. Further, not many cell phones continue to work after being submerged in water. The pendant is waterproof and can be worn in slippery places where an accident might happen.
Compared to a cell phone that requires charging, medical alert systems come with a battery backup. Even when the power goes out, the system will continue to operate. A prompt connection occurs each time the button is pushed.
How a Medical Alert System helps you?
Medical alert systems have become synonymous with the elderly, and for good reason. These wise individuals fully understand the repercussions of falling and injuring themselves. They know that installing a medical alert system will only aid them if they become injured.
But medical alert system could be used for many different age groups to address differing physical and emotional needs.
The medical alert system has not always been designated just for elderly use. In fact, the system was not originally established to aid older generations. A doctor whose daughter was suffering from a reaction to a tetanus vaccination realized something needed to be done to aid those debilitated by illness but who desired to remain independent.
Today, medical alert systems continue to have the same purpose: They provide clients with the independence they desire while also giving family members peace of mind.
Medical alert systems are also useful devices for the handicapped. Perhaps you have a child who has Down syndrome. You know that he is capable of taking care of himself. But what if he injures himself or is in need of help? The alert system is a good solution to squelching these concerns. He can wear the medical alert device – which is 100 percent wireless and is easy to track – either as a wristband or as a pendant attached to a necklace. If he is in dire need, he can press the safety button to notify the monitoring system. That way, you will not have to feel as if you need to be near him at all times for his protection.
The same can be said for the disabled. For example, if you have a spouse who is paralyzed, you might be worried something terrible could happen when you're away. With a medical alert system, if your loved one is in a situation where they are injured but can't respond verbally, they can press a button on the alert device and a dispatcher will immediately call the authorities.
