OTC vs Doctor's Office Pregnancy Test
A pregnancy – whether wanted or unplanned – is a major event in any woman's life. There are many decisions to make so knowing whether or not you are actually pregnant is quite important. Some women will visit their gynecologist or obstetrician for an answer while others will opt for an over-the-counter (OTC) home pregnancy test. Each type has its benefits and disadvantages. Here is a quick rundown on what you should know about each type of test before making the decision on which one to use:
- Over-the-counter tests – OTC or "home" pregnancy tests rely on the fact that a woman's body will only produce a particular hormone – human chorionic gonadotrophin or hCG – when they are pregnant. A small sample of urine – preferably, the first one of the day – is tested for this hormone. If it is present, then the woman is pregnant. One caveat, hCG is only present in minutes amounts for the first week of the pregnancy and then builds rather quickly afterward so false negative results are possible at the beginning of the pregnancy. If you have missed your period and the result is negative, retest after one week. If it is still negative, you should consult a physician for expert advice.
- In-office procedures – Physicians use two types of tests to check for a pregnancy. The first is a urine test similar to the ones performed at home. If the test shows positive, the doctor can then perform subsequent tests to confirm the pregnancy. Again, this urine pregnancy test is not sensitive enough to detect hCG until 6 to 8 days after ovulation. If the urine test is positive, the doctor can then perform a blood test to confirm the results. The test also looks for hCG – but in the bloodstream. Unfortunately, blood tests take several days to be completed as the sample is usually sent to an outside testing lab. Alternatively, the doctor can use a sonogram to physically check for the presence of a fetus. Combined with a urine test, this is the fastest way to confirm an early stage pregnancy.
- One other thing – In a normal pregnancy, the fertilized egg implants itself in the uterus, hCG is produced and the fetus can grow normally. In an ectopic pregnancy, the egg never reaches the uterus and instead implants itself someplace other than the uterus – usually one of the Fallopian tubes. This type of pregnancy is quite dangerous – it can involve internal hemorrhaging and even lead to the death of the woman. It is detectable by an hCG sensitive test but a sonogram will not show any fetus in the uterus. If you test positive for HCG but then experience any pain in the lower abdominal area, consult a physician immediately.

Vacation to Aomori/Hakodate pt 2
Part 2 - Hakodate
Published on August 4, 2007 By
Well for part two of my vacation, I went to Southern Hokkaido, to the city of Hakodate. Hakodate is a really nice city, it is fairly historic (one of the first ports to open at the end of the Edo era) and well serviced by public transport. The train system in Hokkaido is actually Trams! Adds to the historic flavour. I stayed in a fairly upmarket hotel (all the others were full), and they staff looked pissed off to be renting a room to a dirty backpacker like me. So of course I made sure to walk into all the fancy business hotels there in peak season with my dirtiest scummiest clothes available
. I went to the historic district and had a look around, the buildings there are well preserved early Meiji era buildings, such as the old British embassy and several churches. It is well worth seeing them. Another place of note is fort Goryokaku, one of Japans only European style forts, built in 1860 something. Quite interesting to look at, it is also of historical significance because of a major battle that happened there at the end of the Boshin Wars (Meiji restoration wars). It was the last battle of the Boshin Wars (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boshin_War). All in all, you can see everything Hakodate has to offer in a full day, however it is good to stay for the night, to see one of the top three night views in the world (the others being Hong Kong and Naples). See pictures below of Hakodate, the night view and fort Goryokaku.
After Hakodate, I went to Matsu Mae, a city at the very southern tip of Hokkaido to see Hokkaido's only castle. It was a waste of time basically. The castle is tiny and does not have a park, the buses run only a few times a day and it is expensive to go to. The less said about Matsu Mae, the better. I was originally planning to go when my father came in November, and boy am I glad I didn't. I would feel terrible for wasting one of his days here. But enough about this, here are the pictures of Hakodate.

Small Town, Big (City) Dreams #1
1 comment:
I can totally relate to your experience with an overly protective family and your decision to move to the big city. I too want to move to a large city after my graduation from my small-town mid-sized university in Pennsylvania. Although I am not considering a weapons permit in the future I can relate to the feelings of family unintentionally scaring you away from trying something new and outside of your comfort zone. And you are correct, NYC will offer you an abundance of opportunities at different institutions.ReplyDelete
I am learning that although your family loves you and has your best interest at heart they may never understand how important this decision is for you. My advice, don't let their fear become your fear. Take your chances, live out your dream. Its now or never!

Reds 7, Giants 3
Brandon Phillips is, Pete Mackanin joked, his favorite player. Hitting a grand slam in a manager's debut will do that.
Phillips went 3-for-4 with three runs, four RBI and couple of nice plays on the night after he caused a stir. I talked to Phillips about what he said before the game. He didn't know it got the run it did. He did not back off.
He said he was mostly talking about media attention, which the players he mentioned have no control over. So his comments may have been misguided, but he said none of players said anything about what he said. "I got no problem with anyone," he said.
Postgame, he said: "It doesn't matter who the manager is, it just felt good to get a win. I was hoping and praying that it went over the fence. It felt good. It felt good to put our team on top. Our team has been struggling with runners in scoring position."

It came about after a prolonged period of meditation, having the same image come up in my mind's eye over and over - A Closed Door in the middle of a giant hall. Someone said write about it and I did; hence this poetry and the concept, then 175 Missing Pieces and all the rest of the books on recovery and now workshops and seminars on spiritual recovery. Neil

On Allowing God To Operate in Your Life: The God Box Concept ... taken from Zen and the Art of Lost and Found
Understanding two things as I enter into this exercise …
First: that it is reasonable for me to expect an answer through the course of events over the next day or so … it may not come from the source that I might expect it to come from … but my requests will be answered …
Second: I will do this exercise every night for a period of 3 months … placing my five requests in a God Box beside my bed … and letting go of the responsibility of drumming up an answer myself.
What five things do I need God to answer for me tomorrow?

Jessie J rows with will.i.am
- Bang Showbiz
- 28 March 2013
Jessie J was left furious at the first round of auditions for 'The Voice' when will.i.am tried to persuade a contestant to go with Danny O'Donoghue, not her
Jessie J and will.i.am had a furious row at the first 'Voice' auditions.
The 'Domino' hitmaker was furious with her fellow panellist after he tried to stop a contestant from joining her team.
Both Jessie and The Script singer Danny O'Donoghue had turned their chairs around, and the 'Price Tag' star was livid when will jumped in to urge the auditionee to join Danny's team.
Jessie fumed: "He never wants people to pick me, just so you know."
Fellow judge Sir Tom Jones intervened to try to calm the situation after the audition, but Jessie told him: "I think it's unfair to influence the artists on their decision."
The 'Delilah' hitmaker advised her "not to worry" about it but to keep fighting her corner.
A show source told The Sun newspaper: "Matters got heated. Jessie is already pitched against will and Danny with the whole series still to come."
Meanwhile, online trailers for the new series of 'The Voice' - which begins on Saturday (30.03.13) - have caught the interest of 'X Factor' workers, as they claim the promo clips, which are shot from the perspective of a hopeful backstage as they walk out to face the judges, are similar to ones they filmed for the 2010 series of the ITV show.
A source said: "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but you'd think they could have come up with something new instead of using our idea."
However, a 'Voice' source hit back, saying: "They are online clips we cut to showcase the singing, without showing who is auditioning."


text: Hey guys! Sorry to say, but I will be going on hiatus for a while. You guys have been great. I am just not confident in my art right now and it is driving me nuts. Once I've practiced more on human anatomy and backgrounds I will come back and finish what I started. Until then!

It's just a movie. A movie not a real story. I seeing too much drama in here. Good reviews so far.
Kylo was the scary child of the story but Luke gave him a good lesson. Amazing movie.
JJ should directed this movie. The one who directed this movie decided to do too many odd changes. Still I am given 5 stars for trying to direct a difficult complex movie. Star Wars.
We saw the entire and movie and the same user who left earlier did not have an idea what the movie was about it. Poor soul.
R2 will was there as Luke. Luke Skywalker the chosen one who turn down the emperor. He looked tired and he knew his days were almost over.
My whole family decided to watch this movie before Christmas and my little ones liked. We watched as movie and drop the all the bs from some people. Movies are to have some good time not make as a drama.
Movie was little longer but no problems for us. We had a blast watching this movie.
Movie was nice and sweet. Star Wars will always be in my heart.
The most boring movie I have seen in years. Actually, got up and left abut half way through. I believe the high money earning is that people, like me, thought it would be spectacular. Sorry to say, when the word gets around the attendance will drop off.
Anger is the path of the dark side. I remember Luke worry about her to turn to the dark side.

PPP's Shehla Raza says receiving death threats
KARACHI: Deputy Speaker Sindh Assembly Shehla Raza on Tuesday said she was continuously receiving death threats and also received a letter lately demanding Rs500 million extortion, ARY News reported.
The letter was sent from a Rawalpindi area which includes the complete address and contact numbers of the sender.
The Pakistan Peoples Party leader said she has received so many threatening calls that she had got used to it now.
"I receive calls from different unknown numbers sometimes from London. It was the first time that I received a call from Punjab on this Sunday. This man called me from his personal number.
"I informed security agencies about the entire situation, then after investigation they told me that he was just a prayer leader in a mosque and suffering from schizophrenia," she said adding her objection was that definitely a mentally disabled person would commit such an act of killing others.
The deputy speaker SA said we should not take it lightly. She was not much worried about herself, but she was concerned about bombing of assembly, she added.
"Earlier, I never reported these calls, however after receiving threat of bombing the Sindh Assembly, I have become apprehensive," she said.
To a query, she said the callers demand from her to tell him how she would like to be killed.
The PPP leader also produced a letter in which she was threatened with dire consequences if she does not pay a sum of Rs50million in extortion.
"I will kill you and will do to you what I did with Benazir," reads the letter produced by Ms Raza.

Non-Stop (2014)
3 mistakes
Directed by: Jaume Collet-Serra
Starring: Julianne Moore, Liam Neeson, Lupita Nyong'o, Michelle Dockery
Factual error: During the final fight, Liam Neeson jumps down an aisle to pick up the pistol that is hurled from the floor upwards in the air and shoots the villain in the head. The problem here is with physics. The plane was in radical descent moments before. The pilot eventually brings up the nose. At that moment, the gun and Liam Neeson himself would have been pinned to the floor.
Factual error: Although the exterior and interior of the aircraft in the movie are reasonably accurate, the cockpit does not resemble any real life aircraft, let alone a 767. In actuality, the cockpit looks hilariously unrealistic for numerous reasons. It appears to be a bunch of random panels and pieces of other aircraft and their own designs all stuck together to form something that looks outrageously stupid. They even have a 4-engine throttle in there, even though it is a two engine plane.
Other mistake: When Bill is walking into the airport after parking his car, the plane landing in the background is moving way too slow, revealing it to be a CGI plane.Phaneron

The Laptops for Graphics Design
If we're discussing laptops for graphical design, then we shouldn't dismiss both of these brands either since their products usually combine the best in the tech world, and the models they draw out frequently will possess the latest processor chip model, along with an increase of RAM than the prior model and an improved graphics card.
Let's look into some of the things that truly matter for graphic artists:
Screen Resolution and Size
Whenever a laptop is chosen by you, make sure this spec is recognized by you. The screen resolution if the quantity of actual pixels the laptop can output on the screen, and it will not necessarily want to do with the actual screen size itself. There are specific ultra-portable laptop models with small monitors but high resolutions. This won't imply you should accept a little display laptop for your design work. A 13 inches laptop might be attractive initially sight, and it could bring a full lot of portability to the table, but it gets rather difficult to do any editing on such a tiny screen.
Your goal should be at a laptop which posesses display screen that's at least 15.4 inches wide in diagonal screen size. Also, the pixel thickness, or DPI should be high. You will find new laptop models which can result Full HD resolutions even on a typical 15.4inch display.
Before you get the simply thing, be sure you test drive it out. This implies doing a genuine resolution ensure that you see which resolution is most effective for you. These newer notebooks can handle respectable resolutions and it might be wise to invest some time and proceed through them.
You should start several programs, like Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator and observe how the entire structure of the program works with in to the display, what size the editing and enhancing space is really and when the edited image is sharpened enough so that you can use. After several attempts, you should come to a spot where you find a laptop that's just simply perfect for the work you would like to do.
If which laptop you may like, like one particular MacBook Air that happen to be alternatively small both in quality productivity and the display size itself, it's wise to obtain a monitor used to extend the existing laptop desktop, which means you can store all the toolbars and dockers on your laptop display screen and do the editing and enhancing work on the best monitor where you can view it better.
The Laptops for Graphics Design
System RAM or memory
The system storage is another essential factor to consider when you're deciding on a laptop for graphical design work. Graphical design programs have a tendency to use a great deal of RAM which can result in poor system performance if the laptop is not ready for such an activity. The greater RAM your laptop has, the better it shall run in the grand plan of things. A whole lot of RAM means the added ability to perform several design programs simultaneously and easily switch between them. The quantity of system storage installed will also impact just about anything else you may be running on your pc, from movies, game titles, browsing or real office work.
Now I understand a great deal of graphic artists and they have a tendency to run a great deal of programs all at one time. Naturally, their computer systems are configured with a huge amount of system memory rendering it easier for the computer to take care of operating Photoshop, Illustrator and other vector graphical design programs all at one time. The thing to keep in mind here's that the quantity of system memory straight influences overall system performance.
Your target should maintain the 4GB range minimum amount, and that's simply for starters. If you are on a budget, this is your starting place and you ought to intend to add more memory space modules in the foreseeable future.
If you wish to seriously multitask and run several programs from the graphical design ones apart, you should think about notebook computers with about 8GB of Ram memory installed. Several notebooks available in today's market enable you to buy the typical model, with about 4GB of RAM but the opportunity is included by them of adding more via the open memory slots available.
In the event that you go for an Apple laptop now, you might like to look at the extra ask you for might run into if you would like to upgrade your present model with an increase of RAM. Some distributors do this, plus they charge extra if you wish to up grade your laptop. Unless you mind getting the hands dirty, you should attempt to receive the Ram memory modules online and mount them yourself, than pay extra for quite simple screwdriver work somewhat.
Laptop CPU – Central Handling Device – Processor
The CPU, or cpu in the laptop is the right part which makes all the computations. It's an important little bit of vector based design programs, where there are always a complete great deal of guidelines to take into consideration. A reliable CPU should be one more thing on your set of things which will make the best laptop for graphical design.
There are many possible selections to be produced here. An excellent starting place is to shoot for laptops transporting at least a dual-core cpu. This will help you to run applications better which means you won't have problems with system halts or sloppy procedure.
If you decide on a laptop with a quad-core cpu, you ought to have no trouble jogging virtually any graphical design program out there.
Bear in mind – more cores means better laptop performance just.
Video or graphics Card
If you'd like the best laptop for graphical design truly, you will likely never choose one which posseses an included images cards. It is because integrated GPUs (Graphics Processing Unit) uses the available RAM to output the image on the screen, whereas an ardent graphics card has its RAM, or VRAM.
You could lose an entire great deal of Memory if your laptop comes with an included GPU, and system storage area is vital in graphical design laptops.
Such systems will run slower given that they will split the available Ram memory for working the genuine programs and the designed graphics card. This will be another item on your list – get a laptop that includes a dedicated graphics cards.
In the event that you were a gamer now, you'd be concerned with the sort of graphics credit card installed, since this can be an essential requirement in gaming laptop computers. But because the laptop will be utilized for graphical design work, a mid-range training video cards can do just fine. If your projects implies doing 3D graphics are well, a high-end design credit card is necessary as well.
The Laptops for Graphics Design
Buy Acer Aspire E15. Current laptop computers in this specific niche market have good images credit cards with about 1-2GB of dedicated storage area. These are best for both graphic design and somewhat of game playing as well if you are not in the ambiance for work.
In the event that you do plan to play a great deal of video games, or start doing 3D modelling and makes, then you should have a look at Alienware laptops or the Republic of Gamers series from Asus, since they are configured to experiment with the latest game titles at optimum visual settings.
Notebooks for graphical design will take an ardent design credit card which includes its storage or VRAM.
Portability – This is exactly what you sacrifice

Azver The master patterner at the mages school on the Isle of roke has felt this shift upon the earthsea weaving and has discerned that the help of those practiced in the new magic will be needed to potentially restore the balance and set the path correct. Nemmerle the arch mage of the school sets out to find hero's who could stand this challenge a mysterious library farther south than many men would dare to travel and a power more secret than time itself.

Taj Garage
She sported square lines (some called her boxy). She was worn. Could barely stand. We never knew how old she was, but we guessed she had been raised in the 70s.
Yep. There she was. Right in my backyard. Staring back at me with a tattered, bruised soul.
There was... my garage.
She was detached from the house - a standard feature of the 20s where garages were built detached, or not at all.
I had just "upgraded" from my one-car garage at my former house so was excited we could get two cars in her. But it wasn't pretty.
First off, when we purchased our house, we also purchased a missing remote for the garage door opener, so we had to manually lift or lower the door each time we moved cars. After numerous searches to find a remote replacement, we gave up. Turned out her garage door brain (the motor) was so old new openers didn't like her. Then there was the duct tape holding a cracked window pane together. Some would call that character, but I called it trashy. And structurally? The western wall would quite literally sway in the wind because it was so rotten, you could see through it. A result of years of poor water drainage left ignored.
Perhaps the biggest surprise was she had an active termite colony under her. This little nugget we learned the first week we moved into our new home after a "misunderstanding" with the inspection company, when they revealed they wouldn't inspect detached structures. So the termites went unnoticed during the inspection process.
After seven months of cursing her, we finally agreed to put her broken soul to rest. We were going to erect something magnificent. Along the lines of the Taj Mahal, but garage-like.
We were going to erect our first Taj Garage.
Wanted: Good Contractor
But who would build this magnificent structure? Like most, we didn't have a "GC" in our hip pocket. We asked around but no referrals. So we made a short-list of people to call from yard signs posted around the area.
During the bid process, we were quoted numbers all over the board. Some guys were thrice the price of others, which convinced me they were just throwing out numbers to see if we'd bite. Regardless, all the numbers were outside our budget of $30k. $30k? For a garage?
This is true. Despite being advised otherwise, we wanted a two-story garage so the second floor could house a small office or at least provide more storage given our space-starved "main cabin." Since we were going to have to get a loan to pay for this sucker, we opted to stretch outside our initial budget and go for the gold.
We finally settled in on a contractor named Homer*. He was clean-cut. Spoke English. And lived nearby, so he was a known entity. He was also one of the few who could see an estimate into our hands. And he got the job.
And the walls...
The day finally came for demo. There was an excitement that could be felt throughout the house. We hoped we were making the right decision because once she was gone, she was gone.
The deconstruction took about 3 hours. Hammers, saws and the sheer force of three men were used to finally level the former garage. Like tigers dragging their innocent kill to the ground.
Construction Dysfunction
Shortly after the construction began, we learned that the framers were holding-up the show. Each day after work I'd inspect what (if anything) had been done that day. I soon learned the framers were working at the pace of two 1/2 days per week. At this rate, our garage would take years - not weeks - to build!
I tried to reason with Homer and was told "they aren't my employees," so how could I expect him to crack the whip?!? Really?
The tides began to turn. And turn they did. We later learned that the plans we had prepared from our budding architect referral "Mevelyn," we'll call her, were flawed. And flawed bad. "Sheer mathmatical errors," our GC said.
We encountered several issues during construction (click below for larger). Like when the electrician went drilling holes in the garage exterior "willy nilly" - picture unleveled holes drilled in the dark. Or when we learned Homer was the laughing stock of his contractor's breakfast when his group learned he didn't use a "glue lam" over the garage door for supporting the weight, compliments of the second floor. He later swallowed pride and redid the opening before word got out any further. My favorite was when the city shut down the project twice because there wasn't enough "head room" per city code to walk from the downstairs floor up the stairs without hitting your head.
It was apparent to us that our GC, Homer, was oblivious to city code and he pointed all issues back to the architect, or worse, to us.
In the end the project took over 5 months - almost twice what we were promised. It was like pushing water uphill, but we saw it through to the end. We prepared the final check and were excited the day our "release of lien" paperwork showed-up from the bank.
In retrospect, the lessons from this garage debacle are clear:
1) Know your GC. Make sure you thoroughly investigate your GC. Ask for references for projects similar to yours and talk to them. Remember that you're unlikely to be provided bad referrals by your GC, so probe for the issues you're most concerned about.
2) Get it in writing. Make sure and document the critical milestones in the project contract. If I could go back in time, I would have levied financial penalties to Homer (discounts to us) if the project took longer than 10-15% of what was quoted.
3) OBTK. This stands for "One Butt To Kick" and it means that someone at some point has to take accountability. Make sure you and the OBTK know who is who. In our case, Homer was our OBTK, but he thought he was the victim.
Oh, he has no idea!
Despite the experience, we are happy with our Taj Garage. To date we have not completely finished some of the work like window ledges, topping her subfloor upstairs or baseboards, but she's standing tall. She's termite free. And the house? He says they make a good couple.
* But where are the names!!? We want names!!!
Joe forbid me to reveal the true names of the folks involved on the great garage project of 2006. He was worried there'd be some sort of retaliation, let's call it. So names have been changed to protect the guilty. If you'd like more offline information about who not to use, ring me. If you live outside the East Dallas bubble, you're unlikely to cross paths with the clowns involved on our project.

Oh, do we have dinosaur news for you. The folks behind Turok -- a fresh start for the FPS franchise that's scheduled to ship in February -- stopped into the IGN offices the other day to show some new beasts and weapons, but that was just the beginning of their goody bag.
The biggest announcement for you, crazed-Turok fan: a demo is coming.
Yes, if you plunk down $5 at your local GameStop in the early part of November, you'll preorder the game, get a Turok T-shirt and walk away with a 30-minute Xbox 360 demo of the upcoming title. Have you already preordered it? Your store should be holding your demo and shirt. No GameStop around? You can grab the demo at Best Buy in December.
Although the final game will feature three difficulty levels, the demo will be locked on normal and take place during the first quarter of the game -- although it won't reveal the game's opening. If you can't wait to see what's on the disc, check out IGN's hands-on report Monday, October 29.
But don't think you have to wait a full week for big news; during our meeting, Josh Holmes, vice president and general manager of Propaganda Games, gave us the first solid details about the game's multiplayer mode during his visit. Sure, we've known the mode would support up to 16 players for a while, but now, Holmes is giving up the goods. Multiplayer will be online only and rock ten maps -- seven for competitive play (deathmatch, team deathmatch, capture the flag, assault capture the flag and war games, an objective-based battle) and three for co-op, a mode that won't just be a rehash of the single-player campaign but rather levels specifically designed for the up to four-players.
Besides infusing us with demo and multiplayer information during the visit, Holmes gave us a walkthrough of the game's progress. While the sweeping, living jungle remained, vicious quiet kills and traditional bow and arrow remained, this time we got to see two new creatures that will be making Turok's mission all the more difficult.

#solari hospice
As I look back on the milestones we reached in 2011 and forward to the possibilities poised to unfold in 2012, I feel tremendous pride in the strides our Solari Hospice Care family has taken and will continue to take together to position our company as the hospice provider of choice in the Houston and Las Vegas communities we serve.
I believe our one-of-a-kind recipe for hospice care is so successful because we all share a passion for providing the highest quality, most compassionate care to our patients and families. And, by mixing just the right ingredients into our hospice care "soup," we will continue to demonstrate our ability to serve unparalleled end-of-life care.
Strong Leadership. I truly believe that hiring and empowering proven and passionate leaders is one of the most proactive steps possible for achieving stellar hospice care — a key ingredient. I feel very lucky to have established long-term Professional Intimate Relationships with some of the most intelligent and passionate hospice professionals in the field — leaders who represent Solari with great integrity in their work to deepen existing relationships and to build new ones.
Solari's consistently successful leadership team in Las Vegas led that program to its best year ever in 2011. In Houston last year, we welcomed several highly qualified and enthusiastic healthcare professionals into our hospice family to guide that program's growth in tandem with the opening of our new Houston Inpatient Home. In both locations, our medical team leaders demonstrate their dedication to excellence through continuing education and training to obtain valuable hospice and palliative care certifications. These leadership teams, in addition to the incredible group of leaders who help keep things cooking from our Central Office in Arizona, show no signs of slowing down in 2012.
They say the proof's in the pudding … Well, the fantastic Average Daily Census (ADC) in both cities over the past year demonstrates the skill and commitment of our company's leaders. On the cusp of its 10th anniversary in 2012, our Las Vegas program celebrated another milestone — its highest monthly ADC ever at nearly 230 patients. That's amazing! And it simply accentuates the need for another Solari Hospice Care Inpatient Home to serve Las Vegas' growing end-of-life care needs. I'm excited to announce that we are in the process of finalizing the purchase of land to build our next Inpatient Home in Northwest Las Vegas, with the expectation of opening our newest "vortex of love" in late 2013. As our growth momentum builds, we also envision opening a third Inpatient Home in Southeast-Central Las Vegas the following year.
Visionary Inpatient Care. I always call our Inpatient Homes "vortexes of love" because that's just what they are…high-energy centers for the most compassionate, highest quality palliative care and support for our patients and families when they need it the most. Designed and built from the ground up to meet the special needs of hospice patients and families, our Inpatient Homes truly differentiate us in the marketplace. With state-of-the-art medical equipment housed in a warm and inviting setting with myriad home-like amenities and no visitation restrictions, our Inpatient Homes help keep our patients out of the cold and impersonal hospital environment. And what takes place within the walls of our IPUs is magical … teams of top-notch hospice professionals taking an integrative approach to individualized patient and family care.
I couldn't be happier that we are now able to offer this incredible service in the greater Houston community. 2011 saw the opening of Houston Solari Hospice care's first Inpatient Home, which earned acclaimed accreditation by the Joint Commission in December. To achieve this huge goal, our Houston program underwent a complete leadership and operational transformation last year. With the Houston IPU accepting patients and new leaders and systems in place, 2012 promises to be an exciting growth year in Houston!
New Technologies. Forward-thinking companies embrace new technologies because such innovation enables businesses to work smarter. As we prepare this year to implement a 100-percent electronic medical records system companywide, I look forward to working even more efficiently so we can offer the next level of service to our patients, families and professional healthcare partners. Going paperless will enable us to continue speeding up patient care response, in addition to improving communication among team members. With less paperwork to fill out, our Solari "angels" will have more time to spend face-to-face with patients and family members, allowing for increased eye-to-hand patient observation and documentation.
Giving Back. In addition to offering the highest caliber of hospice care to our patients and families, it has always been my vision to give back to the communities we serve and beyond through the Solari Hospice Foundation. I have never been more committed to the nonprofit Foundation's mission to help children and families through Camp Solari, and to educate the public about hospice care. With this mission in mind, we just began working with a fund development expert to help us evolve into a national resource for hospice education and bereavement support.
To take our camp programs in Las Vegas and Houston to the next level in 2012, we recently recruited locally based professional counseling teams in both cities. Leveraging their expertise and their established relationships in their prospective communities, these counseling teams will help the Foundation realize its vision for a greater number of bereavement camps — potentially nationwide — to give children and families the tools they need to work through their grief and live the most joyful lives possible.
Building Buzz. Thanks to the efforts of a talented Communications Media Relations team that came together in 2011, Solari Hospice Care's and Solari Hospice Foundation's hard work in Houston and Las Vegas is gaining broader recognition. It feels great to open a magazine or newspaper, turn on the TV, or log onto a website and see our company showcased in one way or another for the awesome service we provide to terminally ill patients and their loved ones! Beyond that satisfaction, however, lies that fact that our media coverage helps spread the word about Solari Hospice Care to both patients/families and potential referral sources. Whether they see our beautiful new commercial while watching the local news, read an article about Solari while waiting at a doctor's office, or check out a Solari story or video clip while surfing the Web, media coverage in all forms is a valuable tool. I'm thankful for all the Solari family members who are making it happen! I have no doubt that the media buzz about our company will continue to build throughout 2012.
All in all, I feel utterly confident that we've added the right ingredients to our recipe for stellar hospice care. As we continue to stir, sample, tweak and occasionally, turn up the fire in 2012, we're sure to create a soup that's even better than we dreamed it would be.

Nice picture, though I'd have to look up the second word. I'm still in disbelief that you are able to A. Blog, and B. work your blog, when I'm still trying to figure how the heck to get mine working. Finally managed to actually blog,at least.ReplyDelete
Also I'm slightly jealous that there are things growing where you are. It's still cold enough to snow here.

I miss my Fig! Tried to grow some from cuttings, and they didn't survive the winter here. Vancouver had milder winters.ReplyDelete
Last year the figs were tiny,and that gave me the excuse to eat them off the tree every time I passed.Sun warmed figs are one of those things that forces you to stop and focus on it.ReplyDelete
Should we be expecting some lovely fig cookies at the Vegas convention in August??? *wink* *smooch*ReplyDelete
I'm afraid I did it again. I ate all the figs off the tree. No fig desserts.ReplyDelete

FOX to Air New Investigative Crime Special WHO SHOT BIGGIE & TUPAC?, 9/24
WHO SHOT BIGGIE & TUPAC? is an investigative crime special examining two of the greatest murder mysteries in pop culture history. The special, which digs deep into the entangled murders of hip-hop's most legendary adversaries - rappers Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls - airs Sunday, Sept. 24 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. The two-hour investigation will be led by actor and rap music icon Ice-T and award-winning journalist and documentarian Soledad O'Brien.
Biggie and Tupac: two larger-than-life personalities - and former friends - were gunned down within months of each other in the late 1990s. Shakur was fatally shot in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas on September 13, 1996. Smalls, born Christopher George Latore Wallace, was killed by an unknown assailant in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles on March 9, 1997. It has been 20 years since their murders, and no one has been held accountable. The plot-twisting mystery surrounding their deaths, combined with allegations of police corruption, gang connections and a fierce rap rivalry, are all theories about what might have played a role in their untimely deaths - and what might have resulted in a failure to close their cases. Both murders remain officially unsolved.
WHO SHOT BIGGIE & TUPAC?, from Critical Content, the producers of last season's "The Case Of: JonBenét Ramsey," will lead viewers through an investigation re-examining these legendary homicides by uncovering new details and revealing never-before-heard accounts. The special will feature interviews with former private investigators, police officers, informants and hip-hop insiders, including Doug E. Fresh, Funkmaster Flex and former DEATH ROW Records executive Suge Knight. For the first time ever, the best friends of Tupac and Biggie - Lil' Cease and E.D.I. Mean - will reunite on camera to talk about the friendship between the two rappers, their untimely deaths and the East Coast/West Coast fallout. Additionally, an exclusive, never-before-released audio recording of Biggie talking about the shooting of Tupac will be unveiled. The special also will focus on how both artists lived and what those lives meant, as the 20th anniversary of these unsolved mysteries is marked.
Ice-T is the original embodiment of Los Angeles hip-hop. He first came onto the music scene rapping in the 1984 feature film "Breakin'." From there, he went on to become rap music's original gangster, writing songs such as "Six in the Mornin" and "New Jack Hustler." In 1989, he formed Rhyme Syndicate Records and released a string of groundbreaking West Coast rap records. With close high school friend and guitarist Ernie C, Ice-T subsequently formed the thrash metal band Body Count, whose 1991 self-titled debut contained the controversial single "Cop Killer." As an actor, Ice-T has appeared in multiple films, including "New Jack City," "Ricochet," "Trespass" and "Johnny Mnemonic." For the past 19 seasons, he has starred in "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" as "Detective Odafin Tutuola." He also starred in the reality series "Ice loves Coco," with his wife, Coco. Additionally, he has published three books: "The Ice Opinion," "Ice: A Memoir of Gangster Life and Redemption - from South Central to Hollywood" and the fictional work "Kings of Vice." Earlier this year, he released a new Body Count album.
Soledad O'Brien is an award-winning documentarian, journalist, speaker, author and philanthropist. She is CEO of the Starfish Media Group, a multi-platform media production and distribution company. O'Brien anchors and produces the political magazine program "Matter of Fact with Soledad O'Brien." She also reports for "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel," regularly contributes to "PBS NewsHour" and WebMD and serves as host and executive producer of the cable series "Mysteries and Scandals." Earlier in her career, O'Brien co-anchored "Weekend Today", and reported for the "Today" show and "NBC Nightly News." In 2003, O'Brien transitioned to CNN, where she was the face of CNN's morning news shows for many years. She also anchored the CNN documentary unit, where she created the "In America" documentary series. "Black in America" and "Latino in America" continue to be produced under Starfish Media Group and are subjects of an annual speaking tour. In 2016, her critically acclaimed documentary film, "The Way Comes Home," was released and distributed to more than 350 theaters in the U.S. O'Brien has been recognized with three Emmy Awards for her coverage of the Haiti earthquake, the 2012 election and for a series called "Kids and Race." She was honored twice with the George Foster Peabody Award for her coverage of Hurricane Katrina and for her reporting on the BP Gulf Coast Oil Spill.
The special is produced by Critical Content. Tom Forman, Ice-T, Soledad O'Brien, David Metzler, Jon Beyer, Brad Bishop and Jorge Hinojosa will serve as executive producers. Follow the special on Twitter @FOXTV and join the discussion using #WhoShotBiggieAndTupac.

Hi Everyone, I am a third year psychology student at Liverpool John Moores University.
For my dissertation I am exploring the different factors of uptake, sustainment and cessation of smoking. To obtain data I have created an online survey, I am looking for non-smokers, current smokers and former smokers 18+ to fill in this questionnaire if they would like to help me.
The data is completely anonymous. at no point are person details (name etc) taken. Furthermore, individuals participating in the survey will be able to exit the webpage at any point during the survey and their data will be deleted straight away. If individuals are wanting to see results of the whole data, when I have finished I am more than happy to post a copy or send people a copy of my dissertation if interested.

Deny Them the Data: Naison on Fighting the Common Core
Fordham University professor and co-founder of The Badass Teacher's Association, Dr. Mark Naison, speaks out against the Common Core in this February 4th talk in Cortlandt Manor, New York.
Naison discusses the Common Core "stealth attack" on teachers, students, and communities, in which Common Core has been handed down by the collusion of government and corporate powers without the consent or even the input of the ordinary citizens it affects – students, teachers, parents, and their communities.
Naison notes that when the teachers, parents, and students who are impacted by the Common Core have spoken out or questioned the new national standards, they've been treated with contempt and ignored by the corporate and government powers that be, who have never taught in public schools and whose children do not attend public schools.
Corporate entities stand to make a nice profit from this particular brand of education "reform," as do the political players that are funded by these corporations.
How can educators, parents and teachers reject such blatant corporate and government profiteering on the backs of our public school children and their teachers? How can we defend democracy and make it known that our voices matter in decisions about our schools that our children attend in our communities?
"The one thing this whole system thrives on is data. They need the data to make this thing work. Deny them the data, they cannot have a national curriculum. They cannot have an educational dictatorship," explained Naison.

Having your Car Serviced at a Dealership- a necessity or a scam?
Worth the price or a rip off?
I know this will garner a lot of opinions, which I will respect, there are still owners that insist on 3,000 mi oil changes when the industry experts have deemed it a farce so people will have their own beliefs and that's okay. I personally think getting your car serviced at a dealership, unless it is warranty work or something specific and highly technical like with a hybrid car, is a complete rip off. Here is what started my thinking this way.
I bought my first brand new car at an AMC dealership back in the mid 1980s. It was a 6,400 dollar Renault Alliance 2 dr sedan. This was my first ever dealership experience and they were nice and explained why their mechanics know your car best. I didn't know any better and of course I wanted to keep my car running smoothly so I agreed. I thought the service costs were really high but I sucked it up and kept going. After I had the car for a few years and the warranty was expired I noticed my speedometer wasn't working right. It would jump all over the place from not moving to registering really high. I took it in to the dealership, explained what was happened and left it for them to figure out? I got a call a few hours later and was told the remedy was going to be over 300.00. They went through some mumbo jumbo scientific jabber saying that this went wrong which then caused this to break etc. I refrained because this didn't sound right to me, I at least wanted a second opinion before I spent that much. Here is the kicker and what forged my negative opinions.
I had the local mechanic that my parents went to for their repairs look at it. His finding was completely different than the dealers. According to him I only needed to replace a speedometer cable that was less than 30.00. I paid him, he fixed it and I was good to go again while saving over 270.00. I went back to the dealer and said my "peace" and have never been back for service since. Here I was thinking that you bought their car from their dealership and you're going to let them work on it and they have the nerve to "screw" you this badly? No thanks!!
I started going to a Michel Tires Plus center because I knew the manager there and he had always been very trustworthy. He had actually left some other service chains because of their dishonesty. I went to him for over 10 years and I've gotten quality service on every car I've owned since, from Honda's to Mitsubishi's etc. For the record, Michel Tires Plus in now under new management and are very dishonest. This prompted yet another leave by my good friend who has now finally found a permanent home at the highly regarded Bob Sumerel Tire & Service center.
I almost found myself "falling again" for the service scam when I bought a certified used 2009 Honda Fit sport last year. This is a great car that I truly love and it seemed the more that I read about its service needs the more nervous I got. They come with a "maintenance minder system" which tells you when your car needs service. Instead of mileage for an oil change it calculates how good your oil still is and gives you a percentage display on the dash. It doesn't need changing until the display reads 15% and miles don't matter. Of course if you drive very little I would still change it at least once a year to be safe. Well after almost a year and 9,000 miles I hit the 15% mark and had to make a decision. I followed my heart and talked to Doug, my manager friend and told me his wife has a 2012 Civic and they were real familiar with what Honda's "need". Just to be safe I gave him a list of everything that the maintenance minder says I should have done, it also gives a code name and number which coincides with a service need when the display reaches 15%. There is a book that explains what all of the numbers and letters mean, that's how I knew. It was an oil change & filter change, rotate the tires and inspect a lot of different parts.
I brought it in to Doug the next morning and waited on it. like I usually do. After about an hour my car was finished and it cost me 28.00. I got a discount for having AAA, tire rotations are always free with oil changes as well as inspections. I was confident that it was done correctly after more than 10 years of dealing with him. I spoke to the Honda dealer and their cost was 279.95 for the exact same thing so another huge savings on my part. Now I'm not a fan of the jiffy lubes & valvoline instant oil change type places but if you have an experienced and proven reliable mechanic or auto care center then trust me you will get the same service and save a ton of money.
I would like to finish again with this being my personal opinion from my experiences. Until I have a car that "blows up" after a non dealer service then I will remain a believer. Sadly some of my friends and family still use dealerships for service and don't agree with me and again that's okay, its their money!!
You're lucky to have such as good mechanic.
Great Hub. You brought up a lot of great points. I always say to everyone, get second opinions.
Since I have become a little more knowledgeable of my automobile, (00 Jetta) you would not believe how bad places try to rip me off.
I just do the repairs myself.
But I completely agree with you. It is nice to get quality dealership repairs, but I just don't think they consider the way the economy is. If you can get by with a second hand shop, or do it yourself, go for it!
Great Hub, voted up.

Hey boys! I'm Hope, a small town girl who wants to get out of this boring place and go somewhere exciting. I met a girl at a house party who told me that she talks to guys on the phone for a living and I knew right away that I wanted in!
I've had phone sex a couple of times with boyfriends of mine, but not that many times. Will you be patient with me, please?
I'm a pretty horny girl and I love having sex, so I think I'll probably end up liking this! Don't you want to be one of the first guys to teach me what to do?
Btw, I just graduated from high school. I've had people tell me I look older than I really am, but I think that's all just the make-up. I just turned 18 this month!

Thinking about the possibility of an avian flu epidemic in humans is my new horror genre. If I try to wrap my mind around it, I'm terrified. But I'm drawn irresistibly to the fear.
But more frightening to me than this in the short term is the state of education here in the US. One of the crew members on No Sanctuary just finished a student teaching stint at a local high school. He was teaching grade eleven English, and nobody in the class knew how to take notes. They had never, in fact, taken notes before. They didn't even bring note-taking paper to class. Their complacent teachers simply gave them worksheets with blanks to fill in, such as "Nathaniel Hawthorne was born in _____ in _____________ and died in ____." In grade eleven.
I've seen first hand (and often bitched on this blog about) the poor standard of education in US high schools. Angela has some terrible stories from her classes - college students who couldn't tell you offhand the name of Germany's leader during WWII, for instance. In my entire English class last semester, only one person besides me had ever read Dickens. Dickens! Last fall, we had to spend a ridiculous amount of time in class learning how to use commas and apostrophes. After taking one crash-course semester of US History and the National Political System, I seem to know more about the running of this country than most young Americans who have lived here all their lives. None of them seem to know anything about world history or current events either. Hardly anyone I meet in any of my classes can consistently write a correct sentence, punctuate, or spell, and they rarely think expressing themselves clearly is particularly important. Barely any of them have the ability to enter into a critical verbal discussion of any subject. They don't understand the merit or process of providing decent sources to back up an assertion. And they don't care. They think that a college degree is a ticket to a better job which they can earn just by showing up, and this seems to be an attitude engendered many, many years before they arrived at college.
It occurs to me that this has been going on for some time, but that it wasn't always this way. And it makes me think that this trend is quite deliberate on the part of conservative government. What are the consequences of educating the populace? The Civil Rights movement. Feminism. Tiananmen Square. A whole lotta liberals and progressives. What are the consequences of giving the population a cursory education that discourages independent or critical thought? Easily controlled sheep.
I don't know how teachers in this country do it. I would have a nervous breakdown in a month.
- Eh, maybe I think too much about it. I see this story, and the first thought that occurs to me is, "Contributions to elementary and high school education? Aha! Government plot!"
It was a great first day of shooting for No Sanctuary, anyway. Very laid back. I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

The Wildcats look to get a Big Ten West division win against an Iowa team who has surpassed expectations for this season.
This is a toss up game as either team can come away with the victory in this conference matchup.
Northwestern Wildcats
QB Clayton Thurson has been up and down to start this season.
Last week he threw for 249 yards with 1 touchdown, 2 interceptions, and was sacked 4 times.
The O-line must protect him if the team has any shot at winning.
Justin Jackson has averaged almost 85 yards a game this season and will be the focal point of the offense against a good Iowa run defense.
Austin Carr has started the season off good, getting over 70 yards receiving in each game.
He has also scored int he last 3 and I expect him to continue that strong play and get one this week.
The Wildcats will need a stellar performance from the dense, if they can keep Iowa under 21 points they should be able to stay in the game.
Look for the front seven to make plays in the backfield and get 3 sacks.
Iowa Hawkeyes
C.J. Beathard has been one of the conference's hottest quarterbacks, with 8 touchdowns and only 1 interception to lead the Hawkeyes to a 3-1 record.
His accuracy over the last 2 games has been 50%, not what you want from your quarterback. Look for him to hit his receivers for a lot more passes this week.
LeShun Daniels has failed to reach the end zone the last two weeks, but this week he should get over 100 yards and a score. If the O-line can open up holes he should have no problem finding success on the ground.
With #1 wide receiver Matt Vandenberg out indefinitely, the rest of the receiving corps must step up in order for Iowa to leave the game with a victory.
Look for tight end George Kittle to lead the passing offense.
He has two touchdowns this season and should be more of a scoring threat in the end zone.
The Hawkeyes defense faces an easy test going up against the Northwestern offense.
Thurson has not been consistent this year and when inconsistent QB's go into Kinnick Stadium they can make mistakes against a raucous crowd.
The key for the Iowa defense will be forcing turnovers and getting good field position for the offense.
NCAA Football Handicapping Trends
- NW are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 road games.

This will be a traditional Big Ten game, with the running backs for each team getting 20+ carries. With the way Iowa has underachieved look for this to be closer than expected.

Unrivalled* by Alyson Noel
"EVERYONE wants to be someone.
Layla Harrison wants to be a reporter.
Aster Amirpour wants to be an actress.
Tommy Phillips wants to be a guitar hero.
But Madison Brooks took destiny and made it her own a long time ago.
She's Hollywood's hottest starlet, and the things she did to become the name on everyone's lips are merely a stain on the pavement, ground beneath her Louboutin heel.
That is, until Layla, Aster, and Tommy find themselves with a VIP invite to the world of Los Angeles's nightlife and are lured into a competition. The prize, or rather the target? Madison Brooks.
Just as their hopes begin to gleam like stars through the California smog, Madison Brooks goes missing. . . . And all of their hopes are blacked out in the haze of their lies."
So I just want to sound the alarm (Cue some old school Beyonce) you need this book in your life.
Shall I just end the review here? Honestly its that good. I feel like that's all I need to say, just read it!
If you have ever read the Gossip Girl/Pretty Little Liar books or watched the tv shows of them then I know you will fall so hard in love with this book.
Set in the LA nightclub scene, the story revolves around three main characters who at first don't know each other but through taking part in a competition run by nightclub owner and LA's main man Ira, their lives become entwined and by the end of the book they are more involved and connected to each other than they ever could have imagined.
The competition starts out being something that they are all using for their own gains, a way to reconnect with their past, a way to further their careers or get a career but they soon realise that maybe they were the ones getting played by the game all along?
The book is full of fun, comedy, suspense, intrigue and flat out glamour. If you are a fan of the above books or shows I mentioned, then I don't know how you could not enjoy this. I got the exact same feeling reading this as I did when I started the Gossip Girl books, they were addictive, you were desperate to see what happened next and you went from desperately wishing you had a life like Serena and Blair to then reading the next chapter and being so grateful that you don't. This book gives you all the same feelings, it pulls you in and immerses you into this world that isn't the LA that you see on the tv shows, its much more dark and murkier but its sort of the one that you always knew must exist, not everything can be that shiny and perfect all the time right?
Remember The Hills with Lauren Conrad and co. That was one of my favourite shows and something about this book kept making me think of it. I think it was because so much of that show was also set around the LA nightlife scene and they made it look so wonderful but sort of awful at the same time. Like at night, the clubs that LC, Audrina and Heidi would go to looked so glamorous and they'd be filled with A-lister's but as they would walk by them during the light of day, you would see how dingy and un-glamorous they really are. Like the night adds a veil of mystery and helps the nightclub promoter sell you a lifestyle rather than a drink and I think that's what this book does so well, show you the behind the scenes of that life.
If you are anything like me and love reading about whole celebrity/LA/reality type world and you often wonder what the other side of fame and celebrity is like, the side where people do anything to succeed then Unrivalled will answer a few of those questions for you.
I have been so excited to share this review with you all for the longest time and I'm so happy that now you can all go out and get your hands on a copy as I genuinely do think that so many of you will love this story.
In even more exciting news I have an interview with the author Alyson Noel coming up on my blog tomorrow, where I talk with her about the inspirations behind the book and she gives us a sneaky peek at what we can expect from book 2 and 3 so check back tomorrow for that!

Looking for advice. I've been to Hosoonyi, which I think has great variety but no grill-at-the-table meat, and also Ka Won Korean BBQ (at 15004 Hwy 99 in Lynnwood - some of these restos are hard to identify!), which has great grilling but less variety (and they sometimes make ordering grilled food tough for just 2-4 people).
Haven't gone to either in many months, so anyone with an opinion on either of these? Or is there another place to consider up there that's the best of both worlds? I didn't care for Old Village, and have never cared much for Shilla in Seattle, so looking for a place in Lynnwood/Shoreline.

For minimum functionality with VSee, the firewall should allow connections to the hosts listed below. Note that hosts will be added to this list as demand for VSee grows.
VSee XMPP Servers
Allow connections over HTTPS (TCP/5222 is preferred, but performance impact is minimal).
- talk.vsee.com (points to one or the hosts below)
- xmpp01.vsee.com
- xmpp02.vsee.com
- xmpp03.vsee.com
VSee Relay Servers
Allow connections over UDP 6000 for best performance. Allow connections via HTTPS or HTTP for lesser performance.
- cl-relay.vsee.com (points to one or the hosts below)
- usw01-rel.vsee.com
- usw02-rel.vsee.com
- usw03-rel.vsee.com
- use01-rel.vsee.com
- use02-rel.vsee.com
- use03-rel.vsee.com
- use04-rel.vsee.com
- use05-rel.vsee.com
- jp01-rel.vsee.com
- sg01-rel.vsee.com
- euw01-rel.vsee.com
- euw02-rel.vsee.com
VSee STUN Servers
Allow connections over UDP 6000 or 3478 to these servers to allow VSee clients to make direct UDP connections.
- stun01.vsee.com
- stun02.vsee.com
- stun-map01.vsee.com
- stun-map02.vsee.com
- net.vsee.com
- net-1.vsee.com
- net-2.vsee.com
VSee Application Servers
Allow connections to these servers over HTTP and HTTPS. These servers perform account management functions for VSee.
- vsee.com
- api.vsee.com
- client.vsee.com
- my.vsee.com
- assets.vsee.com
- ironmq.vsee.com
- *.pubnub.com
- cloudfront.vsee.com
- vsee-activeapi.firebaseio.com
- s3.amazonaws.com
VSee Bandwidth Measurement Servers
Allow connections to this hostname over HTTP and HTTPS. The IP addresses of the servers for this hostname can change frequently.
- bw.vsee.com
For optimal performance: To allow for VSee clients to directly communicate with each other, inbound and outbound UDP on ports 6000 – 60254 should be allowed to all hosts. This will further improve A/V performance and reduce load on firewalls and web proxies.
Performance Impact of Web Proxies: The VSee client can connect to all the above hosts via a Web Proxy. However, A/V performance will be dependent on the Web Proxy's capacity. Some factors that might affect performance through a proxy are:
- load on the Web Proxy
- prioritization of persistent HTTP(S) connections through the proxy. For best VSee performance, the Web Proxy should allow persistent HTTP(S) connections.
If at all possible, the Web Proxy should be configured to allow traffic to the VSee Relay Servers to proceed directly.
Testing VSee Connectivity
You may test your connectivity with several key resources from VSee Network Test Page. This tests your connectivity with VSee XMPP Servers, VSee Relay Servers over HTTPS only (not preferred) and VSee Application Servers.
