Some of the more observant of you may have noticed the new link to a "Store" section of my site, where there is currently a single txt file available for an insane price. Obviously my plan is not to trick people into spending $99 for that, then parlay all that cash into a huge txt file empire. Today seems like as good a time as any to share my plans, so here we go.
I'm thinking about producing a series of training videos and putting them up for sale on this site. I'm going to attempt to produce fairly high quality training videos about an hour in length each. I expect they will include a mixture of slides and live demos walking you though how things work, and showing you how you can implement them yourself. They'll start with Exchange Online/Office 365 type topics, and maybe I'll branch out from there. If I get decent interest, I may try to recruit some other smart guys to produce similar videos I can add to the collection. I plan to list them for fairly little money, though I have not really made a final decision on what the final price will be.
I'm not going into this expecting it to be a huge money making venture. Honestly I expect I will make less money doing this than I am currently getting for the sponsored webcasts you see linked in the webcast section. If I can sell enough of these to break even within a few months then I'll be perfectly happy.
What I would like from you is your suggestions for topics, and a gauge of your interest in such a thing.
Is there a topic you would like to see an hour long video explaining? I'm fairly set on the first couple of videos I plan to produce, but if someone suggest something awesome I'm happy to change course.
What would make a series of training videos super-great? Is an hour the right length, should they be shorter or longer than that? Any input is certainly welcome. You can leave comments below, or send your comments to email@example.com.
I expect to have the first video up within a couple of weeks. I do have four other jobs that take a decent bit of my time already, so I'm not going to be cranking this out at an insane pace. If this turns out to be something people are interested in, I can focus more time in this direction.

Anyway, despite the camera's strengths, there are a few limitations. First, the camera can only support 4 simultaneous clients and the performance degrades linearly with each additional client (from my anecdotal experience). Second, the only access control the camera offers is HTTP Basic Authentication backed with a 4-user list configurable from its web interface that doesn't integrate well with any other application or security system. I figured that the best and most direct way of fixing the problems was to proxy the feed through my MacPro to manage the connection and user access there instead of on the camera.
As I was imagineering this system, I also got the bright idea to go ahead and do facial detection (not recognition -yet-) on the stream. After doing some research on the technology, I decided to use the OpenCV libraries developed by Intel and subsequently open sourced. My initial prototypes were extremely slow (1-2 FPS) since the Java libraries depended on JNI calls to a non-thread-safe C library. I did more research and found the Faint (Face Annotation Interface) library which did Haar in pure, multithread-able Java. (I had to take the beta code from the SVN since it wasn't released yet.) That finally got me a much more acceptable 10+ FPS.
Now I have the camera stream being cached within a custom-built Tomcat webapp that does the detection and also provides security for the stream. It can support much more than the 4 users available from the camera and without a FPS hit. It's pretty cool. Right now it just draws a red rectangle around the detected face, but obviously more triggers and actions are possible and desirable. It should definitely be noted that the stream (with facial detection) is viewable from the iPhone! Now- to just get the damned thing attached to my iRobot and my little mobile sentry will be complete. :)

How To Root Cherry Mobile Burst S280 Easy Way
The Android phone that you have learned to love and enjoy is running an operating system that was designed for commercial and private use. Like most any operating system, several features have been disabled, either for future use or to prevent the casual user from causing permanent damage to the operating system. "Rooting" is the process in which the limitations are removed and full-access is allowed. Once rooted, the Android phone owner will have more control over many settings, features and performance of their phone. Basically, "rooting" means to get to the root of the operating system and to have the ability to make global changes. source: http://google.about.com/od/socialtoolsfromgoogle/a/root-android-decision.htm
Some disadvantage in rooting your Cherry Mobile Burst S280
1. It will void phone warranty.

text: The RapRep doesn't have the precision needed to build a Neo case, and last I checked, didn't have varied enough base materials to make a study, opaque, and APPEALING case. Put simply "multi-colored cases" are purely a looks thing. The CAD files are out there and someone who wanted to sell after market cases and felt that there was sustainable demand to be profitable doing it, could. I'm willing to bet that in typical mobile phone fashion there will be a wide variety of stickers and shells for the device long before there are new case kits. For a single unit, it would probably be cheaper to buy a spare case and have an automotive body expert paint it.

West Virginia is known to have some of the best trails in the country. The annual Hatfield McCoy Trailfest was held earlier this month on the first weekend of October. Aimed to give riders a world-class experience, the Hatfield McCoy Trailfest gives access to miles of mountainous trails along with live music and showcased products on vendor row.
The ITP booth had an awesome turnout with many people interested in the new Coyote® and Ultra Cross® R Spec performance tires. Visitors expressed the importance of quality products that ITP offers as well as its tires being built in the USA.
Windrock Park held its Fall Jamboree on October 18-20, 2018. Getting in the spooky spirit, the event offered a haunted trail ride ending with a bonfire. With 72,000 acres of off-road adventures, Windrock Park offers amazing views of the Tennessee Mountains and valleys as well as 300 miles of trails.
On vendor row, ITP showcased its entire tire and wheel portfolio. Its most popular products inquired about were the new Versa Cross® tires as well as the Hurricane® Bronze and Cyclone® wheels. Because of its rocky trails in Windrock Park, visitors were interested in tried and tested products constructed to withstand any trail hazards.

text: Facebook Twitter Google+ LinkedIn Email To Err is Human is a most appropriate title for the Institute of Medicine report released in 1999 on initiatives to improve our healthcare system1. It is within our human nature to commit errors, but errors in medicine, not unlike errors in flight, are unacceptable. The aviation industry has taken a stance that zero errors is the only acceptable statistic; they have created a culture in which people are eager to report an error to prevent it from happening again and save lives2. They have recognized that, in their industry, if they do not fix errors, people die. Why is healthcare slow to develop the same mindset? The airline industry experienced a total of 898 passenger deaths in 2015 in the entire world, but in the US alone, experts estimate approximately 250,000 deaths are due to medical error each year 3,4. These are alarming statistics. Hospitals have ways to report medical errors and near misses, however, these errors are rarely reported. Reasons for not reporting medical errors range from the perception of being incompetent to the fear of job loss. There is also an unwritten "brotherhood" of sorts within the medical community where one medical professional is not likely to report an error that another medical professional makes. Therefore, something must change, otherwise we are no longer doing what the healthcare community is there to do … save lives. The only way to encourage medical errors and near misses being reported is to create a non-punitive culture. A few system-wide frameworks are available to assist healthcare organizations with this task. An example is the Communication and Optimal Resolution, or CANDOR tool, provided by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality 5. The goals for this, and the other frameworks, are: the establishment of a non-punitive atmosphere where any employee can report the error, an investigation into the cause of the error, and the establishment of a process to ensure the error is not repeated. While this is a facility-wide framework where diagnostic errors as well as other types of errors can be reported, there are things that can be implemented within your own laboratory. Employees should feel safe reporting errors. If there is a perception that they will be punished or receive maltreatment due to the reporting, errors will continue to go unreported. Determine the root-cause of the error. It may seem easy to lay blame, but is there an underlying problem that caused the error? Was there more than one error that took place? Utilize a group or committee to determine the best way to ensure that the error doesn't occur again. Having different points of view is important to develop a feasible solution. Is additional staff training needed? Is there a process control that could be instituted, such as an LIS hard stop, to ensure that something is addressed? Monitor specifically for that error. You do not know if your corrective action worked in preventing the error from occurring again if you are not monitoring specifically for it. Document, Document, Document. When processes change within the facility, new errors may occur, or former errors may recur. Having the documentation of each of the above steps not only meets your regulatory requirements, but aids in determining what needs to be addressed as the new process is put in place, to prevent a previous error recurrence. The most important of the above steps is the first one. The entire process of error detection relies on employees feeling safe in reporting them. Open the lines of communication with your employees to find out why they may not report errors. There are likely specific concerns that can be addressed either within the laboratory or within your facility to ensure your employees feel safe in reporting errors. As an industry we know that medical errors, even related to laboratory testing, will occur; we are only human. However, we cannot move towards "zero errors" if we don't know where or when they are occurring. Creating a non-punitive culture for error reporting is imperative to save lives.

He Has Risen/
We hold so close to our hearts
The cross where Jesus died
But so much more than the blood-stained cross
Is that Jesus came back to life
The stone's been rolled away
The tomb lay open and bare
They looked for Him, and then the angel said
That He is no longer here
Oh what joy they must have felt
To see Him just once more
To eat with Him, to drink with Him
To receive Him back as Lord
So much did He accomplish
Through His death upon the cross
And in His rising from the dead
He reconciled us back to God
Nothing else could bridge the gap
That sin had wrenched apart
Now we can freely go to God
And receive Christ in our hearts
© By M.S.Lowndes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Easter is the central feast in the Christian liturgical year. According to the Canonical gospels, Jesus rose from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion. His resurrection is celebrated on Easter Day or Easter Sunday (also Resurrection Day or Resurrection Sunday). The chronology of his death and resurrection is variously interpreted to be between AD 26 and 36, traditionally 33.
Easter marks the end of Lent, a forty-day period of fasting, prayer, and penance. The last week of the Lent is called Holy Week, and it contains Good Friday, commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus. Easter is followed by a fifty-day period called Eastertide or the Easter Season, ending with Pentecost Sunday.

Does seborrheic dermatitis get worse in winter?
Flares of seborrheic dermatitis common in winter
Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a close cousin of 'dandruff' and is due to a yeast known as Malassezia that is extremely common in the scalp.
Triggers of SD
There are many triggers of SD 'flares' including stress, dry and cold weather, certain medications.
Flares of seborrheic dermatitis are very common in winter. For 5 % of individuals who experience seborrheic dermatitis and the occasional scalp dryness, itchiness and redness that accompanies the condition, the winter months can problematic.
Treatments for SD
I advise the vast majority of my patient to reach for shampoos containing zinc pyrithione (i.e. Head & Shoulders), selenium sulphide (Selsun Blue), ketoconazole (Nizoral), or ciclopirox (prescription Stieprox) at least once per week in the winter months. There are many myths surrounding these shampoos and they are undoubtedly one of the best kept secrets for great hair.

My Thoughts on Fast Fashion
A few weeks ago I watched a documentary that forever changed my view of the fashion industry; specifically fast fashion and how I shop for clothes. The documentary is called True Cost and I watched it on Netflix.
Call me ignorant, but I had no knowledge of the fast fashion supply chain system, not that the information isn't readily available with a quick Google search. My mind just didn't go there when I was shopping for clothes. When I would walk into a store and see a trendy pair of jeans for twenty dollars I would get excited, now the thought of that excitement just makes me sick to my stomach. Let me explain why:
The documentary calls out many of my favourite retailers – H&M, Zara, ASOS, and Boohoo just to name a few. These are all places I shop often, and these retailers part of the Fast Fashion industry. Fast fashion retailers are able to move fashion designs from the runway to stores very quickly, hence the term "fast". This ensures mainstream consumers can buy the latest trendy items quickly in-store or online. Quality isn't at the forefront when retailers are producing these trendy items. The goal is to mass produce trendy items for a low cost. Production is done in third-world countries in order to keep costs low. Workers in the factories in the third-world countries are often subject to poor working conditions and low wages – even for their standards.
So when you see those jeans for twenty dollars, you really have to think about why you are able to walk into a store and buy them so cheap. The true cost of these jeans is really the cost of the factory workers (majority being women) in Bangladesh (or other third-world countries) who are making these clothes in unsanitary and unsafe working conditions and getting paid as little as $2 dollars a week so that mainstream consumers can continuously buy cheap and trendy items for their closets.
This was me up until about a month ago. As the writer of a fashion/lifestyle blog I am constantly scouring the web researching about trends and visiting online retailers to scoop up the trendy items for the season. The problem with fast fashion is that it empowers the average consumer – like me, to shop a lot. I am an average consumer, and because a lot of the items from fast fashion retailers are low cost, I can afford buy a lot of clothes and it makes me feel good. I can afford to revamp my wardrobe every month if I really wanted to without breaking the bank. I can buy a new dress for every date night, birthday party, or occasion that comes my way. I can wear it once and throw it away. That is reality for me and a lot of millennials, but not at the cost of someone's life. This was not possible even 10 years ago when there would generally be 2 seasons for fashion - Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter. Now stores have new items every week. Boohoo adds 700 new items to their online store every week, which is so mind blowing to me. As a consumer, how can one possible keep up? Items that were purchased online and take two weeks in the mail are no longer trendy once you get them (I'm exaggerating, but you get the point). These fast fashion items are really one time wear items. I think about my closet that is overflowing with items I have purchased and worn just once.
After watching this documentary I was honestly in a state of shock, it was like I had been hiding under a rock all of these years. I felt guilty for not only taking part in fast fashion as a consumer, but I also promoted it as an influencer.
I don't really know what my next steps are in terms of fashion. I am in this place where I feel the need to take some time and reevaluate a little bit. I have been writing this blog for 4 years now, I started it when I was 22 years old and I want this to be a place that I can continuously grow and evolve with my readers. Where at 22 I might have accepted things at face value, at 26 I want to be more aware of what is going on in the world and care more about "the why" behind things. It doesn't mean I am going to stop loving fashion, I don't think that's the answer. I think moving forward I need to be a more conscious consumer and put my dollar in the right place when it comes to shopping for clothing.
Those are just some of my initial thoughts on the subject, but it is something I am going to continue to educate myself on and keep you updated on where my head is at around the topic. I strongly suggest watching True Cost to learn more about the global impacts of fast fashion.

Report: the FRA makes trains less safe, more expensive/
A new report out by the Competitive Enterprise Institute (and I suspect you'll recognize half the byline), says the FRA's safety regulations, enforced in the name of safety, perversely make us less safe. Rather than use the best practices of Europe or encourage train manufacturers to innovate, the FRA's rules prescribe antiquated crash management technology from the 1910s. Dangerous and more expensive trains are the result. To find out why, you'll need to read the report for yourself. It's an easy read, just six pages, and it details how SMART, in the West, and Acela, in the East, have been dramatically affected by the FRA's regulations, though they aren't the only victims. You can see the stark difference between the two regimes in a crash test video that went into the FRA's report on its own safety measures. The top train is FRA-compliant, while the bottom is compliant with European regulations from the International Union of Railways (UIC):
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUpUJrk4QBE?rel=0]
The top train experiences something called an "override", which you'll find mentioned in the report. It's what FRA-compliant trains too-often do in a crash. And, on the bottom train, you can even watch how, for a split second during the crash, the oncoming train pauses to absorb the crash energy. That's UIC crash safety in action.
Something I realized after the report had been written, too, was that the FRA's rules hurt domestic train manufacturers. FRA-compliant trains are illegal overseas, as they don't meet UIC standards, just as European trains don't meet American safety standards. This forces domestic manufacturers to choose between serving the tiny US market or the much larger global market.
Though bashing the FRA is a favored pastime among more technically-minded bloggers, desperately needed regulatory reform seems to have gained little traction where it matters most. Here's hoping CEI's white paper can change that.

The beautiful harbor on the island of Hvar
To my eye, Croatia looks like a open crab claw that is about ready to snap closed on its neighbor, Bosnia. Fortunately after 20 years the bordering countries that made up the former Yugoslavia, including Serbia are no longer in conflict. Now they offer some of the most unspoiled and affordable travel destinations in Europe.
Croatia and it's borders. At the very top left it connects with Italy. If you come this region you might start in Ljubljana, Slovenia and then work your way down the Croatian coast to Zadar, Split and Hvar.
We have visited this entire region, and Croatia is the country that captured our hearts, and that is why we returned for this extended second stay. That and a chance to catch some sun and step out of the Schengen Zone (as explained in the previous blog).
One of the many cruising options for exploring the region are these Turkish boats called Gulets
After a two week stay in Split, we boarded the catamaran for the one-hour ride to the island of Hvar.Croatia is 2nd behind Greece with the number of islands in the Mediterranean and I suppose we could have been a little more adventuresome and tried a different island this time, but we enjoyed Hvar two years ago and were glad we went back. Hvar is the 4th largest of the 700+ Croatian islands and a very popular tourist destination. Happily we were ahead of the high season crowds and enjoyed leisurely walks and uncrowded restaurants. Debbie was able to get a good start on the Airbnb book we are writing.
Debbie Sherpa style! Travel days require a lot of patience and arm strength.
We also played several games of Scrabble - with Debs getting score of 107 in one play with the word FLOATING which was a Bingo (worth 50 additional points) over two triple word squares - an epic score!
Our first two words during one of our games. And it was just that - a very warm day.
We tried to book the same Airbnb we stayed in two years ago, but it wasn't available. As it turns out, that worked in our favor because we found another wonderful Airbnb with a great view of the sea in a little enclave on a harbor that had a few small shops for basics and a couple of cafes. Our lovely hosts took care of our every need including lending us their printer and buying us a toaster. Here's the link: https://www.airbnb.ie/rooms/1089827
We were also closer to the center of the main port city and the walk to and from the old town from our house was a beautiful half mile stroll with the sea on one side and the ancient fortification walls on the other.
Sunset from the deck of our Airbnb.
The highlight of our week in Hvar was spent on a boat, only this time I was the skipper. We rented a small 14' runabout with a 5hp outboard and a brightly colored Bimini for shade which allowed us to spend a day exploring the nearby Paklinski islands just across from our little harbor. We reserved the boat the day before and were surprised at how informal the process was. It went like this: What's your first name? Phone number? That will be 100 kuna please ($15) as a deposit. See you tomorrow!
Captain Campbell back at the helm.
The next day we turned-up with a lovely picnic lunch that Debbie made and paid the balance of the rental 250 kuna ($37). The young man at the counter told us that his co-worker Ivo would meet us in a few minutes to show us the ropes. Meanwhile we were pointed to a nearby dock where our little love boat was tied-up. No paperwork. No ID. No deposit. No Liability Release form. Just, "Have a great time." I have to say, it was a breath of fresh air when compared to American liability phobia.
Ivo took us out in to the harbor and checked us out on general operation of the outboard and told us if we wanted to go ashore, we were not to run the boat up onto the beach. Instead, we should anchor out and swim in… or if we wanted, we could tie-up to one of the docks dotted around the islands. I was surprised that even small runabouts are expected to tie-up Med-Style which in this case meant bow in, stern out.
A portion of the pamphlet were giving to use for navigation and the basics of "med-style anchoring".
Note, in boating, there are no "maps" only "charts" but in this case, it would be a stretch to describe this hand-out as a chart - but it certainly was enough to help us get around. With our 10 minute training behind us, off we went. We explored a few islands before anchoring to enjoy our picnic in a quiet little harbor. Had we anchored just one bay away, we would have had a view of the naturalist (nude) beach on Jerolim island. It was voted best nude beach in Europe by CNN two years ago.
Paklinski islands from the air. Sailing charters are very popular in this part of the world.
Croatian harbors fill up with mega-yachts and luxury cruise boats all summer long.
Later in the afternoon we motored (slowly) between the many beautiful islands - it felt like being back in the San Juans Islands in our home state of Washington. We found a large marina that was almost empty and thought we'd head in for a pit stop. As we approached looking for a place to tie-up (Med-Style of course) the Harbor Master came running down the dock whistle in mouth indicating that we needed to be on the other side of the marina where dinghy's like ours were welcome. We didn't know why, since the marina was almost empty - I guess we were riff-raff compared to the sleek yachts he was hoping for any time now. We successfully deployed the stern anchor and tied-up like veteran sailors. On ashore, we went for a hike to explore the other beaches on side of the island. We weighed anchor and took a slow turn around the main Hvar harbor and admiring humongous mega yachts that towered above us. We got boat back by 5 pm without a scratch or incident and called it a great day.
The Franciscan abbey near our Airbnb where we enjoyed an evening concert.
We also were lucky to find a mixed choir concert at the Franciscan Cloister just around the corner from our house. You wouldn't have guessed how great it would be by the poster alone (see below). I would guess over the three years we've been traveling we've probably been to over 100 concerts in one form or another, and we usually find out about them on church bulletin boards. This little group of members from the community stood out for a number of reasons. First, the location was a small chapel that was over 350 years old and had great acoustics. Only about 50 people could fit in the seats so it was intimate as well. The choir of two-dozen adults of all ages was energetic in their "rust red choir robes" and the program ran the gamut from Bach to the Beatles as well as contemporary Croatian composers.
A magical Senior Nomad moment enjoying a local choral group performance in an ancient abbey.
We find a lot of fun and affordable entertainment by scouring posters around town.
And, like all good entertainers, they left their appreciative audience wanting more. After their final number - ABBA's Mamma Mia, the encore was a robust version of "This Little Light of Mine". They really did shine.
One of the great walks along the coast that started just outside our door.
One afternoon we were walking in town during a holiday celebrating St. Prosper (he being the patron saint of Hvar). St. Prosper's Day has been celebrated here since 1671 - no reason to stop now. We happily came across several booths offering homemade baked goods, cheeses, and tastes of regional dishes for a donation to the church. Lunch was served!
The main square in Hvar where there is a lively Saturday market and great people watching.
We ended our time in Hvar with romantic dinner out at a restaurant a few steps off the main square called Macondo. The chef was our host in Hvar two years ago so it was fun to catch-up with him and of course, he went out of his way to make everything perfect.
Macando - the well known restaurant where our former Airbnb host is head chef.
If you haven't visited Croatia, we highly recommend it. Most everyone speaks some English, and you'll find yourself in an unspoiled beautiful country. If you have been here, but haven't stayed on Hvar, add it to your itinerary next time you come. Once you've been here, there will always be a next time.
The dazzling harbor lights - our evening strolls with Gelato were our favorites.
From Hvar, we took the 7:30 AM catamaran back to Split, then caught a bus for the scenic three-hour journey north to Zadar for our a final two weeks in Croatia. Stay tuned for the third and final installment of my Laid Back in the Adriatic blogs.
Thanks again, REI for these amazing suitcases that, as Willie Nelson would croon keep us "On the Road Again!"
Thanks for following along,
The other half of the Senior Nomads

Using Flowers in Food
Happy Sunday! I hope everyone is enjoying the last bit of the weekend. We spent the weekend outside on my parent's terrace celebrating a combined birthday, father's day, 'congrats on your Washington Wizards girl tryouts' and 'welcome home from Morocco' day. Yes, we are an eclectic family. One of my favorite things about visiting my parents is the abundance of greenery and flowers I can scoop up to bring home to fill my space. Today I'm sharing a collection of recipes that celebrate that very thing: flowers! As part of The Recipe Redux's challenge to use flowers in cooking, I realized I just happened to have several already done! Actually, way more than I realized. There's no reason food can't be pretty.
Food and Flowers Swooned Photo Shoot: Well, look at that. First up is an entire tablescape spread dedicated to flowers in food that I styled this spring for Swooned. Click over to see all of the gorgeous images shot by Chelsea from Bit of Ivory.
Challah Coconut French Toast: I bow before the breakfast genius of the husband. He came up with this recipe for coconut french toast with tiny orchids.
Honey Suckle Simple Syrup : If you live in the South East or Mid-Atlantic, go grab that honeysuckle outside! I whipped up a simple syrup that's great in everything from desserts to drinks, dressings to coffee.
Rosewater Berry Popsicles: If we've talked recently, you know I'm hooked on rosewater. The great thing about this Indian staple is that it holds up in flavor after freezing.
Cucumber Rosewater Cocktail: I wasn't lying about the rosewater. Mix up a big batch of this for your next party.
Dietitian Nutritionist. My husband Chris and I create food and beverage photos, videos, stopmotions and recipes. And they're really cool.

Why justice act decisions are right
My heart goes out to those Fayetteville families who have lost loved ones to murder. I understand their frustration with the Racial Justice Act, which has been applied to four cases in which convicted murderers had their death sentences commuted to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Still, knowing our state's racist history, in which the vast majority of all state executions have been African American men (many for burglary), I support the Racial Justice Act as a necessary legal tool to protect defendants from racial discrimination. Those four people were removed from death row because their trials were racially biased. That is unjust.
While I grieve the suffering of Olivia Turner, who lost her son, Roy Turner Jr., to murder, I disagree with her comment in the Observer that the man convicted of killing her son, Quintel Augustine, has received a punishment equivalent to "tapping people on the wrist for doing many horrific crimes." A lifetime of incarceration in a maximum-security prison, forever segregated from loved ones, is no slap on the wrist.
I urge Olivia Turner to consider contacting Murder Victims' Families for Reconciliation, which helps loved ones of murder victims cope with their painful losses.
A recent statement from MVFR says in part: "Instead of putting more precious resources into capital punishment, MVFR urges North Carolina legislators to better fund victims' services, increase access to compensation, and provide law enforcement with the tools they need to prevent and solve crime."
Patrick O'Neill, Garner�Officials ignore concern for people
Our national government has been a big disappointment in the last few years. Lately, it seems to be trying to establish a new low as to concern for the individual. Confusion at a level I've never seen, mind-boggling inefficiency, maddening party contention. A great loss of respect for the United States has resulted.

Turkey's medical infrastructure has improved greatly beginning with the early 2000s and now is one of the biggest medical tourism hubs in Europe and Asia. Turkey has the largest number of JCI-accredited hospitals, second only to the USA and hospitals are more often than not part of international healthcare groups, following strict European protocols and regulations. Turkey has 28.000 medical institutions spread across the European and Asian side but some of the biggest private hospitals and medical centres are in Istanbul, Ankara, Antalya and Bodrum – these also happen to be some of the best tourist destinations in Turkey.
Bodrum is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Turkey, with its sandy beaches and small streets littered with traditional shops and elegant restaurants. The town used to be called Halicarnassus, and the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus is one of the World's Seven Ancient Wonders. Bodrum also features a castle built by the crusaders in the 15th century.
Istanbul is the home of several architectural treasures, including the Blue Mosque. The Blue Mosque was built on the orders of Sultan Ahmed between 1609 and 1616 and the Sultan's body still resides within the mosque. The high ceiling is lined with more than 20000 handmade ceramic tiles, hence the name – The Blue Mosque.
Pamukkale, meaning "The Cotton Castle" in Turkish is a surreal destination in the country's western region of Denizli, world renowned for its white terraces with warm spring water. The ancient Greek city of Hierapolis was built over the springs and Pamukkale was a renowned destination in antiquity as well. Tourists can visit the ancient Roman and Greek ruins of the baths, temples and theatres dating to the second century BC.
● If you don't feel like waiting in a queue, you can get a VISA for Turkey online. The VISA usually costs around $20 for US travellers.
● Turkey's population is predominantly Islamic so it's a good idea to wear a headscarf while visiting mosques. Shorts or any other garments that fit under the knee are not prohibited by law but it's considered good etiquette not to wear shorts for men or short skirts for women.
● You can change any sort of currency into the Turkish Lira – the Turkish currency just about everywhere. Most supermarkets and shops also accept credit cards.
● Roaming fees in Turkey can be somewhat expensive, so it's a good idea to simply buy a new Turkish SIM card and use it while staying in Turkey.
● Turkey's international calling code is +90.
● Electrical installations usually operate on 220 volts, 50 Hz and use European style plugs and European style sockets. Four and Five star hotels usually provide North American - 120 volts, 60 Hz sockets as well.
● Driving in Turkey can be a hassle sometimes, but very pleasurable at other times. Roads are usually in good shape and some roads actually lack traffic, so it can be a relaxing experience. In Turkey, people drive on the right, so that's a detail you will need to keep in mind. In some areas, villagers made cardboard and marker pen signs in order to help lost tourist on their way.
● Renting a car in Turkey is quite simple and cheap. If you have the budget for a full insurance, you should definitely take it – if anything happens, at least you won't have to worry about money.
● The Turkish Airlines Company, THY offers destinations to just about anywhere in the world with a total of 261 destinations. The company was founded in 1933 and features 285 passenger and cargo planes.
● Turkey uses the metric system which is easy enough to understand – 1 Km = 1000 meters, 1 Kg = 1000 grams, and so on. One mile equals 1.60 Km.
● Turkish people are warm and very hospitable - It is customary for people to hug and kiss both cheeks regardless of their gender.
● Turkish street food is very diverse, from the simple bagel-type snack Simit to the familiar pizza-type Lahmacun, there are tons of variants to just about anything.
● Turkish coffee is world renowned, but it's also a bit different than say, its American counterpart - It is usually a strong coffee with a rich aroma, served very hot from a small traditional cup. Be careful not to drink any of the coffee grounds still in the cup.
● Turkish delight, as the name suggests, can be a really sweet delight for tourists. It is made from sugar, starch and just about any fruit or aroma imaginable, including walnuts, hazelnuts, pistachios, dates, lemon, orange, rosewater and many others. Turkish delight is usually served with coffee and it became popular all around the world, including in the Balkans region and as far as Brazil and North America.
Rhinoplasty surgery, also known as a "nose job" is a type of reconstructive plastic surgery that can be used to aesthetically enhance the nose or restore the nasal functions to their fullest.
There are two types of rhinoplasty: open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty.
Nose reshaping or rhinoplasty is not recommended for individuals whose physiological development is not complete – children and teenagers fall into this category.
The patient should avoid any intake of vitamins, herbal teas, and aspirin for at least 10 days before the procedure. Drinking, eating, and smoking are prohibited for at least 8 hours before a nose surgery.
Local or general anaesthesia is administered to the patient before the nose surgery can begin. Rhinoplasty is a very safe procedure – rhinoplasty complications are rare, with 1,56% to 2,73% of patients requiring reoperations, according to a study by Paulo Fernando Tormin Borges Crosara and his team from 2016.
Once the anaesthesia sets in, the surgeon proceeds to separate the nasal skin from the rest of the nasal structure.
In a closed rhinoplasty surgery, the surgeon will use the nostrils as entry points to correct the underlying nasal structures consisting of bone and cartilage.
In an open rhinoplasty procedure, the surgeon will cut the columella and then proceed to make the necessary changes. Once the nasal structure is changed according to the patient's wishes, the surgeon will suture the incisions and apply a stent to further stabilize the nose surgery result. The area is then wrapped in bandages and the rhinoplasty recovery period can begin.
Local or General anesthetic
Patient may spend one night in hospital
1 trip
4 to 6 weeks
1 to 4 hours
5 days
In a week
The rhinoplasty recovery period is not restrictive at all, but there are certain things that the patient needs to keep in mind after the procedure. Patients can usually return to work and normal activities in about a week but contact sports should be avoided for a few months. Rhinoplasty post op tips also include wearing the nasal splint or rhinoplasty cast for a few weeks after the procedure, especially at night. Rhinoplasty healing time is up to a year in most cases, as the swelling will gradually reduce and the final nose shape will be revealed in around 11-12 months.
Rhinoplasty scars are very limited, but it depends on the type of nose surgery – an open nose surgery will require cutting the columella but if the closed rhinoplasty technique is used, scars will be practically non-existent.
The patient will experience bruising, discomfort and swelling for a few weeks after the nose surgery. Painkillers can be used during the rhinoplasty post op period. It's important to note that the swelling will gradually reduce during the course of a year. A study on rhinoplasty complications by Paulo Fernando Tormin Borges Crosara reveals that between 1,56% and 2,73% of patients may experience breathing disturbances which will require reoperation after surgery.
A rhinoplasty success rates survey by Guyuron B. and Bokhari F., based on 468 nose surgery reviews sets the satisfaction rate at around 91%. Males generally tend to be less satisfied with rhinoplasty results.
While rhinoplasty before and after pictures may look appealing it's worthy to note that the nose will take its final shape in around 12 months after the surgery, so patience and carefully following the doctor's instructions are the key to a successful rhinoplasty procedure. Patients are generally more satisfied with their look and overall life – this is one of the reasons why rhinoplasty is so popular among men and women around the world.
Types of Rhinoplasty
Closed Rhinoplasty
Closed rhinoplasty is the most popular choice for doctors and patients alike since the incisions made by the plastic surgeon are all hidden away inside the nose, leaving the patient with no external scars. Once the necessary incisions are made, the soft tissue of the nose is lifted, leaving the doctor with access to the cartilage and bone. Changes are then done to the nose according to the patient's wishes. From this point onward, a closed rhinoplasty is very much similar to an open one, but a closed rhinoplasty offers certain advantages in comparison to other types, such as:
Open Rhinoplasty
Patients who require extensive changes to their nose may opt for an open rhinoplasty. Your plastic surgeon will decide if this is the best option for you, depending on your wishes and expectations from the procedure. Open rhinoplasty requires an incision in the columella – the skin area between the nostrils, just underneath the nose itself. This incision allows the doctor to lift the skin and reveal the cartilage and bone inside the nasal cavity, adding or removing tissue as necessary. While some surgeons will recommend an open rhinoplasty from the start, certain doctors will only use this technique in certain cases such as revision surgery or extensive changes to the nose. Most of the time, the best candidates for open rhinoplasty include patients with one or more of the following:
Filler Rhinoplasty
Filler rhinoplasty or injection rhinoplasty is a relatively new non-surgical technique which uses injectable fillers to correct and improve the appearance of the nose. Since it doesn't require any incisions, this procedure can be performed by a wide range of specialists, including general plastic surgeons, cosmetic surgeons, assistants as well as dermatologists. The biggest disadvantage of filler rhinoplasty is the fact that the results are not permanent and patients will be required to make another visit to the doctor in a few months. Although rare, fillers can also produce scarring within the skin.
Revision Rhinoplasty
Revision rhinoplasty refers to opting for another nose job surgery after patients were dissatisfied with the results of their primary rhinoplasty or seek other changes not originally mentioned during the first rhinoplasty. Most patients have another rhinoplasty performed for minor touch ups such as irregularities or bums on the nose bridge while other patients may opt for this procedure due to breathing problems. All established plastic surgeons have a revision rate – if a certain doctor doesn't have a revision rate or has a very low one, it's due to patients opting for another doctor for their revision. The average rhinoplasty revision rate is between 10 and 15%.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
Forum Moderators: open
And I didn't even get a Christmas present.
I did get some email from YPN with a "Peace on earth" graphic of some kid holding the glowing rave earth orb or something.
Did everyone else get that?
I'de still rather have a hat.
Yesterday morning, things seemed back to normal, as I was getting $.50-$1 clicks. Then things fell apart in the afternoon and I was only getting 10 cent clicks.
I guess everyone's marketing budget is running out...

I guess everyone's marketing budget is running out...
well.. yeah.. that could explain it of course. I think a more likely reason would be an adjustment in the profit share.
Buz already said it.. "The honeymoon is over"
I just wish I could have gotten in on more of this. Sure was sweet while it lasted...
Same here .. been going down for the last couple of weeks, getting really bad. I think part of this is seasonal. I also noticed one of my best ads seems to have decided to opt of the content network. I also see a general overall drop in traffic.
No christmas present here either - just the email of the kid holding the globe.
I am going to wait to switch back. I might do the odd even days thing.
I haven't seen a big dip myself, though the CTR is down somewhat as ads aren't as targeted. I added a few more RON ads to the block list and have high hopes for Q1 when companies start spending some of the Q4 profits.
I'm definitely not thinking about moving everything to YPN now, though. :-)
I would literally have to get 20-30 clicks in AdSense to account for my average click value from YPN. On the same damn page...
CTR for AdSense is still way better, but since AS started putting only 1 or 2 ads in my 336x and 250x250 ad spots the CTR has taken a crap anyways so I have to stay partial to YPN!

Poi Dog Pondering
Electrique Plummagram
This maxi/mini CD, is intended as a "sister release" to Poi Dog Pondering's most recent album Pomegranate. Nicknamed "the remix album", the disc does in fact have three songs from Pomegranate in their reconstructed and remixed, club-sized glory. There are four new songs including "Hard Sometimes" originally recorded by Frankie Knuckles. "Plummagram" is Chicago South Side slang for "Pomegranite", "Electrique" comes from the electric shock warnings on some of the gear used during recording.
Frank Orrall - vocals, guitar
Dave Max Crawford - trumpet, organ, piano, accordion
Susan Voelz - violin, vocals
Dag Juhlin - guitar, vocals
Paul Mertens - saxophone, flute, clarinet
Steve Goulding - drums
Brigid Murphy - saxophone
Brent Oolds - bass
Leddie Garcia - percussion
Arlene Newson - backing vocals
Robert Cornelius - backing vocals
Kornell Hargrove - backing vocals
Luke Savisky - visual artist in charge of live show film projections
"It's a muscular soul revue, a transcendental dance band...Poi Dog Pondering rose like an even brighter phoenix from the ashes, spreading it's wings confidently and soaring into realms few stage bands today can reach." -AUSTIN CHRONICLE
"Impossible to categorize, the joyful music of Poi Dog Pondering is truly transcendent." -CHICAGO TRIBUNE
Poi Dog Pondering; searching for some kind of reflection from this strange, grotesque, and beautiful life; fuse deep grooves, tender melodies, feedback, violin, horn section, piano, organ, and percolating percussion; lyrics that pass through everyday occurrences, spiritual complexities, and plummet headlong into the sensual/sexual and the surreal. Performing live, Poi Dog Pondering incorporates visual elements such as film loops and slides, to pull out subtleties and underlying tones, creating a more complete sensory experience.
Poi Dog Pondering originated in Hawaii and grew up in Austin,Texas, but the band has flourished in Chicago where its performances consistently play to packed houses. The band is surprisingly large; often there are more than eleven performers on stage backing up frontman Frank Orrall.
"This record began for me while I was standing in front of a painting in the Museum of Modern Art in NYC titled "The Expulsion from the Garden of Eden","explains Frank Orrall. " In it, Adam and Eve looked full of shame as they were banished from the beautiful garden into the dark unknown of the lower right hand corner of the canvas. This didn't seem right to me. I felt that in that darkness in the beginning of life as I know it. The bittersweet pomegranate here is a metaphor for the gift of sensuality, bliss, pain, exploration of self, strife and mortality - all of which give this life a poignancy, dimension and depth that I don't feel from any notion of Eden."
We drew heavily from, the band's individual talents for orchestral string/wind and horn arrangements. We brought in the Parallax String Quartet and oboist Katherine Pisaro, so that in addition to band members Paul Mertens, Dave Max Crawford and Susan Voelz on winds, brass and violin (respectively), we would have a small orchestra. Add to that the treasure chest of grooves from drummer Steve Goulding and percussionist Leddie Garcia, the assertive "grab the neck and play" guitar of Dag Juhlin, the bubbling of Brent Olds' bass and the interplay of harmonies by vocalist Arlene Newson, Robert Cornelius and Kornell Hargrove - and the sound of Poi Dog Pondering's Pomegranate starts to emerge.
