Although Apple's iPod touch lacks GPS capabilities, TomTom's upcoming in-car kit will work with the music player, as well as rival applications, the company confirmed. This means that the iPod touch, preloaded with TomTom's iPhone GPS app and paired with the in-car kit, will become a professional navigational device, at least in your car.
As we noted in our review of TomTom's iPhone GPS app that appeared Monday on several regional App Stores, including the U.S. & Canada, the pricey software turns your iPhone into a pro-grade, GPS-based navigational device that leverages built-in maps from TeleAtlas. The app also adds a number of features found in dedicated GPS devices, such as creating your own route, finding the way to contacts from your address book, locating nearby restaurants, getting speed warnings, etc.
TomTom also announced an in-car kit that will dock your iPhone in portrait or landscape while charging its battery. The kit will feature a separate GPS circuitry that will provide the iPhone app with accurate and more reliable positioning data, in addition to clear voice instructions and music routing via an in-car stereo, plus hands-free calling via a Bluetooth connection with the iPhone.
The kit is not yet available but TomTom announced at Apple's developers conference that it will ship "later this summer." This information has just been relayed via TomTom's Twitter account as well. TomTom will provide pricing and detailed specifications ahead of the kit's release. The company's spokesperson also cleared up confusion surrounding the kit and the iPod touch. Yann Lafargue, TomTom's PR manager, told Mac4Ever that the in-car kit will work with the iPod touch and the software made by rival vendors. He said:
Yes, I confirm and it will work with an iPod Touch or other competing browsers.

Christian's Opinion
This is good news. First of all, the arrival of TomTom's app in the App Store is a big deal because users now have one more pro navigational solution joining already available apps from Sygic, Navigon, and Copilot. The fact that TomTom's in-car kit will support the iPod touch will surely mean a lot for people who don't own an iPhone.
As you know, Apple's touch-based player lacks GPS circuitry, meaning running TomTom's app on the device makes little sense. Although iPod touch pinpoints your location using information based on your proximity to known WiFi networks (when on and available), such location data lacks the accuracy necessary for turn-by-turn directions.
However, docking the iPod touch unit to TomTom's in-car kit will feed the music player with real-time and accurate positioning data obtained via the kit's dedicated GPS . The "iPod touch+TomTom's iPhone GPS app+TomTom in-car kit" combo should in fact provide the same level of functionality and accuracy as when using the iPhone instead of the iPod touch in the above combo.

Call our quote line
An abandoned puppy nicknamed "Wonky" has been able to take her first steps after receiving physiotherapy for two weeks.
11-week-old Wonky, now renamed Juliette, was taken from her mother as a very young puppy and abandoned. Her front leg tendons failed to develop, which was made worse by poor diet and separation from her mother.
Manager of the Leeds Dogs Trust, Amanda Sands said: "We think she was removed from her mother then abandoned. Because she's gone without the nutrition of her mother's milk her front legs haven't developed.
"She has an extreme case of knuckling – where the front tendons contract, the front paws bend inwards and she balances on the knuckle joints."
Staff at the Trust say people from all over the world have offered to adopt Juliette.
Check out this heart-warming video that includes footage of Juliette before and after the physio and other great care and nutrition she received from Dogs Trust.

After countless shots and other beverages consumed, my evening was somewhat of a blur. My second pair of shoes were left in the car and not needed at all thanks to "drunk-feet" – drinking so much you don't feel any pain that might be caused by uncomfortable shoes…or maybe the shoes were just hella comfortable. Good job Steve Madden, or should I say good job Sambuca.
There was a water fountain in the lobby with a grand piano where a pianist would play before we went in for dinner – he was on break I guess.
There was also a fancy little car – clearly not a car person.
Between the car, the piano, the champagne, shots, and cookies in the lobby, waiting for the reception to start was a breeze!
Matthew did not lie when he said their was going to be a crazy amount of food, those Italians sure can eat! I was pretty crummy at taking pictures so you're going to need to use your imagination here. I'll start off with the first plate of food I consumed…which I failed to capture because I was so hungry.
As you can see from the crumbs, I ate it all much too fast…a collection of calamari, muscles, peppers, baby corn, rice, potato salad, bread, Italian meats and some other nick-nackish foods that I can't remember right now.
The second serving was the pasta dish, gnocchi and cannelloni – so creamy, so delicious! Honestly if this was the only dish I would have been happy with just that, it really hit the spot.
But no, it didn't stop there, that wasn't even the main dish! Servers came around with chicken, vegetables, potatoes, salmon, and salad…I was already so full but I didn't want to be rude. So I filled my plate.
More beverages were consumed, I think there was dancing…I met a boy who out-danced me and thought it was hilarious so he kept doing it. He broke out into the worm, how am I supposed to beat that? If I wasn't wearing a dress I would have tried…I hate losing, I don't care if he is 6, I'd say it was an unfair battle.
Dessert was served, cupcakes and fruit, lovely mix.
After that, there was even more dancing…and because we danced so hard we would get thirsty – bless those open bars.
That child kept coming up to me and showing me his dance moves, when I decided we should team up he would just roll his eyes at me as though my moves couldn't compare. Eventually I broke him down when I showed him the only magic trick I know – the one where you have something small in your hand and you have to make it disappear then reappear in their ear…yes, you know, the trick your creepy uncle would do to you when you were just a child and you would have to awkwardly laugh and act surprised so he would stop bothering you with the lousy trick. Well, it was a hit…too much of a hit because the kid wouldn't leave me alone…it was fun at first but honestly, I just couldn't keep up. He kept showing me all the magic tricks he knew which by the way, when he told me to close my eyes, I always peeked…so I knew the trick before it even happened. We danced and had fun but I definitely came to the wedding with someone else…who by the way didn't rescue me for a good hour. #ThanksForThat
I took zero pictures of the actual wedding but I'd just like to say those Barbadians (Bajans?) on the grooms side sure know how to exude their personalities in their outfits! So much sparkle and sass, I absolutely loved it!! There were bright colours and so much sequence, some of them even wore fancy little hats…I felt under dressed standing next to them. The bride wore a gorgeous dress – I didn't want to be weird and ask to take a picture with her because we didn't know each other, instead I just took pictures of her dress.
I like how the skirt was very traditional Italian and the top was more Bajan style with all the fun embellishments – way to go Bride, bringing both sides together.
I had so much fun at the wedding, danced my little heart out, and got to spend time with some pretty amazing people.
This morning when I woke up I thought I'd never eat again because I was so incredibly full from the night before…I was wrong…
You can't do Sunday without comfort food and Netflix with your Person. Its been an incredible weekend, Monday is going to suck so hard.

Study Overview
ETC Institute, in association with Resource Systems Group, Inc. (RSG), conducted a second survey of residents in the 7-County Region of Tennessee that includes Davidson, Maury, Robertson, Rutherford, Sumner, Williamson, and Wilson during September of 2014. The same survey was administered in June and July of 2010. The purpose of the survey was to gather input from residents regarding issues and opportunities relating to transportation planning for the region, as well as to assess how opinions may have shifted in the four years since the first survey was administered. The Nashville Area Metropolitan Planning Organization sponsored the study.
Some of the specific topics that were addressed in the survey included:
• Perceptions of current transportation issues.
• The degree of problems relating to various issues.
• Commute issues for those who worked outside of the home.
• Methods of transportation used.
• Potential solutions to easing travel in the future.
• The importance of various issues to transportation improvements.
• Preferred sources of funding for transportation improvements.
• Transportation status compared to other County issues.
Major Findings
Perceptions of Current Transportation Issues:
Those surveyed were asked about their level of satisfaction with various transportation issues.
The issues with which residents were most satisfied included:
-access to greenways or multi-use trails (65%),
-how safe it is to walk in their community (63%), and
-the maintenance or condition of roadways (61%).
Of least satisfaction was:
-the availability of mass transit services in the area (35%).
Lack of sidewalks was considered the transportation issue that was the greatest problem in Middle Tennessee, followed by the number of accidents.
The Realities of Commute Travel: Sixty percent (60%) of those surveyed work outside of the home. When asked about their commute, nearly half (46%) commuted 10 miles or less, and 68% indicated their commute took 30 minutes or less. With regard to the level of traffic congestion, 40% indicated that they experienced heavy congestion, 44% experienced some congestion, and 16% experienced no congestion.
Method of Travel by Residents: Ninety-two percent (92%) of those surveyed normally got to and from their frequent destinations by car. Eleven percent (11%) were part of a carpool, 7% walked, 4% took the bus and 4% bicycled.
Alternate Means of Transportation: Those surveyed were asked if anyone in their household used public transit, and 11% indicated they did. Eighteen percent (18%) said they primarily walked or biked for transportation purposes.
Transportation Priority: Three strategies for improving transportation in Middle Tennessee were provided to those surveyed: making communities more walkable or bicycle friendly, improving or expanding mass transit options, and building new or widening roadways. Respondents were asked to prioritize the strategies: 41% indicated the top priority should be to improve or expand mass transit options; 34% said it should be building or widening roadways, and the remaining 24% indicated the top priority should be making communities more walkable or bicycle friendly.
Personal Experiences: Those surveyed were provided with several statements about transportation and were asked their level of agreement. They agreed most with the following statements: 1) walking and bicycling is a good way to get exercise (97%), 2) if it were safe and convenient, I would walk or ride a bicycle more (68%), and 3) if it were safe and convenient, I would use public transit more (67%). They agreed least with the statement, "At least once a week, I can't find a ride" (10%).
Mass Transit: Those surveyed were provided with several statements about mass transit and were asked their level of agreement. They agreed most with the following: 1) good mass transit is important for the local economy (87%), 2) communities in Middle Tennessee should begin working together to build a regional rapid transit system (86%), and 3) more people will start using transit due to rising fuel prices (69%).
How Transportation Improvements Should be Funded: Those surveyed were asked their preference of funding sources for transportation improvements. Their greatest support was for applying impact fees on private land developers (49%), vehicle registration fee or wheel tax (42%), vehicle emissions fee (41%), and a fee for single occupant cars to use carpool lanes (35%). When asked how much more respondents are willing to pay to increase transportation funding, the mean amount was $50.20 per year.
Shifts in Perception Since 2010
Resident opinions about transportation issues in the Middle Tennessee area have shown some significant changes since 2010. A few of these include:

So far I am not the adult that complains about kids these days and turn the music down and get off my lawn.
It helps that I don't have a lawn.
I, sheepishly, like a lot of current "pop" music. I cringe at the lyrics but love the beat and the actual music. ("Let's make a night we won't remember, I'll be the one you won't forget."…but…if you don't remember? then how do I not forget…? Ooooh cymbals!)
My current cringe-worthy crush music-wise is "Classic" by MTKO. We will forget that they just called Prince and Michael "Classic" and I'm pretty sure do not own a rhyming dictionary. And are young enough to be the kids that need to get off my lawn.
Since I listen to music in a bubble, I have no idea how popular this actually is these days. But hearing it on Pandora once and then immediately downloading it for my workout playlists reminded me of another song I had a similar reaction to.
It was March 2012. I was about to set off with K to hike the Appalachian Trail for a month. And this song was just starting to be played in regular enough rotation on the radio that I caught it a few times and decided I must download it right away.
I felt the urgency because I was about to go "off the grid", so to speak, and I was worried it would no longer be on the air when I got back. It was such a silly song, certainly no one else liked it and it would fade fast.
That's how Tom got sick of "Call Me Maybe" long before the rest of the world. That's also the story of how for one time in my life I was ahead of a trend.
I promise it won't happen again. Because you're so classic.

My Knight (or Redneck) in Shining Armor (or a beat up pick-up truck)
This evening I picked up nine (yes nine and no not all for me) pizzas. When
the lady at the counter put them out for me she asked, "Want to take half
now and come back for the other half?"
That would have been a very practical solution. However, I knew that the six other people crammed into that tiny waiting area were looking at me thinking, "SHE's the reason my pizza is not hot and ready in five minutes like promised." Besides, I figured, how heavy can nine pizzas be?
I managed to grab the tower of pizzas with my keys in hand and purse over my shoulder without dropping one single cheesy pie. When I turned to the door, I realized my dilemma. It was not going to be so easy to open that door with the tower of pizzas in my arms.
At that very moment, before I even reached the door to contemplate this problem further, a woman standing next to it held it open for me. "You must be having a party," she smiled. I thanked her profusely and went on my merry way...until I reached my car.
Hmm, I really should have listened to that young lady behind the counter. That's what I was thinking as I so deftly unlocked the back of my car only to discover that I could not pull the door open with the pizzas in my arms. I tried leaning them on the bumper so I could free one arm to pull it but then it wouldn't open because the pizzas were in the way. I tried to pry it open with a finger I could get free while holding the pizzas but one finger does not even budge that back door.
I was seriously contemplating placing the pizzas on the ground (not sure why I felt this would be disgusting as they were actually in boxes and not simply laying in a sloppy mess across my arms), when I heard a voice. "Hey! Do you need a hand?"
I looked up first because I figured on the side of town I was on, the only helpful hand I would get was from Heaven. Then I heard it again. "You really look like you could use some help."
This time I looked around at ground level because I totally did not want to miss the white knight on his stallion that I was sure was coming to rescue this poor damsel in distress. What I saw instead was what we here Southerners refer to as a redneck. And yes, he was jumping out of his beat-up old pick-up...not off a handsome stallion. Before I could refuse him, and let's face it, how could I possibly refuse him when he had obviously been watching the whole comical this girl has bitten off way more than she can chew scene, he was at my side opening the door for me. He held it while I put the pizzas in the back and then, get this; he closed it for me too.
I thanked him and then stood it total awe as he jumped back into his truck that he had pulled over in the line of traffic just so he could help me. No matter how he was dressed or what he drove, he was a knight all the same to me. In one simple but selfless act, he had saved me.
I took off in a very cheesy smelling car with a big grin on my face thinking about how these simple random acts of kindness had blessed me beyond measure. These people had looked outside of themselves for a moment and had seen me. Without knowing who I was, they placed my needs in front of their own. It had a very powerful effect.
And then I thought, isn't this the way it should be? In fact, isn't this the way it used to be? What has happened to us as a society that such simple acts of kindness blow me out of the water?
I've shared recently about the prayer either Nelson or I pray over the kids every night, so it won't surprise you to know that these kinds of events also get me thinking about how I can train my children to be people who hold doors open for others. How do I teach them to do random acts of kindness for total strangers with no promise of reward?
I think the answer lies in exactly what happened to me today. When someone held the door for me when I was pushing the double stroller with one hand and holding Mackenzie's hand in the other, I noticed it was almost always a woman...no doubt a mother. I would always thank them and then ask God to allow me to remember what that was like so that when my hands were finally free some day, I could hold the door for someone whose hands were full. When a man offers to carry something or reach something that I can't, I pray I can raise up sons who will do that for another woman some day.
The way I can teach is by doing it. Children tend to follow our examples. They see what we do and imitate it. When I do something nice for a stranger and my kids are there, we talk about it. I tell them how I knew that person needed something that I could help with and how much I love it when someone does the same for me.
We start by modeling. We continue by teaching. We follow through by training. There is indeed only one of me; however, I am raising four souls. That's quadrupling my opportunities to pay it forward!
So many times we see the big problem so we look for the big, change the world solution. What we forget is that it starts with one. It starts by making a decision to look up once in awhile and notice the people around us. If we're watching, we'll catch opportunities to help.
If we think about how much our actions might bless someone instead of how inconvenient it is to us, we might not change the world. We might, however, change that person. Who knows? That might just be the start of something big.

We have all heard the phrase "Don't Quit" or "Never Give Up" from a well intentioned family member, spouse, mentor or friend at one time or another in our lives. While their encouragement is most often related to a positive outcome on our behalves, there are times in a person's life when they probably should Quit.
When an action or behaviour becomes fruitless and an obsession to persevere over powers our ability to think clearly or the object of our goals is detremental to the ultimate outcome, such as a compulsive gambler who is always looking for the next big score.
However, that is not the tale I want to talk about today. Today I would like to showcase what true desire and persistence truly look like. The kind of desire, persistence and collaboration that not only changes peoples minds, it changes their lives and ultimately reveals the greatness that has always been in them.
Have a look and read all about it here this story has changed many lives including that of the observer.

Six years ago, a 20-year-old woman, named in court papers only as Jane Doe, went to a bar at Laclede's Landing in St. Louis. She was dancing and someone pulled her tank top down, and it was all filmed by a Girls Gone Wild video crew. The incident was distributed on a video called "Girls Gone Wild Sorority Orgy."
On July 22, a St. Louis jury ruled that despite saying "no" when asked to reveal her breasts to the camera, Jane Doe had given "implied consent" because she was there and taking part in the party.
The St. Louis Post Dispatch reported that Patrick O'Brien, the jury foreman, said: "Through her actions, she gave implied consent … She was really playing to the camera. She knew what she was doing."
Allow me to express my outrage. This kind of reasoning makes me nauseated. If this case involved a guy unwillingly having his genitalia exposed to a video camera, I can guarantee that the outcome would've been incredibly different.
There is more than an undercurrent in our culture that says a woman "asks" for rape or other forms of sexual assault. It starts with snide comments about a woman's wardrobe — a short skirt is apparently some kind of invitation to be harassed.
This is the beginning of a slippery slope, which ends in blaming women for rape. In feminism and feminist theory, the term "rape culture" is used to describe the commonness of sexual violence and how social norms, the media and people's attitudes condone it.
The culture then teaches women how to avoid rape, through PSAs and self-defense classes and carrying mace and traveling in groups. This implies that not taking these precautions means that a woman deserves what she gets. Not that these precautions aren't a good idea — I've taken a self-defense class myself — but that a woman must somehow be on guard against sexual attack at all times is ridiculous.
I spent one painful evening begging a friend to go to the police after an incident where her date just didn't stop when she asked. She decided not to inform authorities and press charges against the guy because of the stigma of rape. Upon reflection, I find that a big part of her decision not to press charges was the fear that others would place the blame on her.
The St. Louis Girls Gone Wild case uses the illogic that Jane Doe was asking for it because she was "playing to the camera." This is the same absurdity that would say a sexually provocative dress is "implied consent" for a man to rape the woman.
A girls' night out usually isn't a big deal. A woman wants a night out on the town with her girlfriends. She wears less clothes and higher heels than would be acceptable in the daytime. There will be dancing and a few drinks. A fun time will be had by all. I've been on these nights out, and they're harmless.
Until someone pulls down a woman's tank top in front of a Girls Gone Wild video crew.
That Girls Gone Wild, with its owner Joe Francis, is one of the most repellent companies ever to grace late-night television with its commercials is inconsequential. Pornography has been around since history could be recorded. I would even go far as to say that pornography, when made or consumed by consenting adults, can be empowering to women.
This jury's decision is enshrining in legal precedent that being a woman in front of a camera at a party "implies consent" for having images of your naked breast distributed for profit. Girls Gone Wild made an estimated $1.5 million from the video in question. Someone pulled down Jane Doe's tank top, and she said "no" to the camera crew. There is no evidence Jane Doe signed a consent form.
As Jane Doe's lawyer, Stephen Evans, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: "Other girls said it was OK. Not one other one said, 'No, no.' She is entitled to go out with friends and have a good time and not have her top pulled down and get that in a video."
Apparently not.

Deadline draws nigh to declare Hurricane Harvey damage in Jefferson County in advance of tax bills
Southeast Texas streets lined with family heirlooms, belongings that took a lifetime to amass, objects once treasured now turned to trash with the torrential rainfall wrought by Hurricane Harvey, are now streets lined with homes that are worth only a fraction of what they were prior to the August storm. Still, unless homeowners report the damage to the proper appraisal district, home valuations used in calculating property taxes will not reflect the accurate value of the damaged property.
In Jefferson County, the Central Appraisal District (JCAD) has sent survey letters to homeowners to report their storm damage so that the property's valuation can reflect the property value as it was Jan. 1. However, according to JCAD Chief Appraiser Angela Bellard, many of the surveys sent to homeowners in the district have been returned without reaching the property's rightful owner...

Shitty being sold…..
By Divya Solgama(23 Apr 2010)
Mahesh Manjrekar started his career with different film called "Nidaan" and later gave some super hits like Vaastav, Aastitva, Viruddh and few more. In all films he portrayed the middle class Indian in different situation. The genre belonging to Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Basu Chatterjee was potryed by Mahesh Manjrekar in a different manner with tales of Violence and boldness. Slowly he started being repetitive and thus lost the charm. He focused himself to Acting and few years back banged the box office with his Marathi hit films. Now after almost after a half decade he ... » read more
City of some reality!
By Aakash Barvalia(26 Apr 2010)
This movie, directed by the talented man Mr. Mahesh Manjrekar, has its own and different impact to the audiences. The story and the life of the mill workers, who wouldn't be interested in such kind of hard topic. As the topic is so hard, interesting and challenging; three general things are very important to look after; performance, story and direction. In other kind of films, if one of the following is weak, then also the film can be made interesting and watchable. But in such kind of hard topic, these all three are very-very important.

Gold is Gold…but no gold is 100% pure though…
By Anonymous (11 Jun 2010)
Manjerakar's take on this critical era in Mumbai's history is diluted by uneven writing, excessive melodrama, feeble attempts at comedy and an inane ending, which undermines everything that has gone before. The film-maker completely reinvents himself with City of Gold: a hard-hitting, intense, unapologetic, yet heart-warming documentation of what the changing skyline of Mumbai has actually entailed. Manjrekar persuasively highlights the piteous and penniless plight of millworkers; he touches the politics of the plot only peripherally thereby losing on the immense potential ... » read more
Just because of some performances…
By Jinesh shah(15 Jul 2010)
It is the performances which makes this film. Manjrekar elicits fine performances from his largely unknown cast – Karan Patel as Naru, Veena Jamkar as Manju and Siddharth Jhadav as Speed breaker are especially good. He shoots his characters' emotions in tight comprehensive close-ups but wastes no time shedding excessive tears over their lives.The real stars of this film are other faces, some of whom we see for the first time in a Hindi feature : Veena Jamkar, the daughter who goes from one starving mill worker to another, Karan Patel, her hot-headed brother who ... » read more
city of gold
By amit verma(20 May 2010)
Mahesh Manjrekar's City of Gold takes a neo-realistic look at the downfall of the textile mills and its workers that reigned supreme three decades ago in Lalbaug-Parel (that's the title of the Marathi version of the film), the heart of Mumbai. But what could have been classic cinema ends up being commercial celluloid. While Manjrekar persuasively highlights the piteous and penniless plight of millworkers, he touches the politics of the plot only peripherally thereby losing on the immense potential of tapping the capitalist corruption that led to the collapse of an entire ... » read more

The 25-year-old admits she was horrified by her belly. "I couldn't believe it was me," she said.
"As a society we have essentially lumped stretch marks and scars and all of those 'negative' things with pregnancy into kind of an 'ugly' category," the married mom tells Us Weekly. "We're taught to hide it or get rid of it. But having those signs of your baby and your pregnancy on your body forever — that is the most beautiful idea in the whole world."
Lee told Us Magazine that the support following the photo has been nothing short of amazing.
"To have so many women relate to it and support it and applaud it has been so amazing," she told the US publication.

Women who are trying to lose weight should avoid eating a snack between breakfast and lunch, new research suggests.
A study by scientists at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Centre in the US found that dieters who had a mid-morning snack tended to lose less weight than those who lasted until lunchtime.
The year-long study, which is published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, involved 123 postmenopausal women, all of whom were overweight or obese.
Participants were placed on a diet-alone or diet-and-exercise programme to help them lose weight.
Analysis revealed that mid-morning snackers typically lost seven per cent of their total body weight over the course of the study, while those who did not eat between breakfast and lunch lost more than 11 per cent, on average.
Lead researcher Dr Anne McTiernan revealed: 'We think this finding may not relate necessarily to the time of day one snacks, but rather to the short interval between breakfast and lunch.
'Mid-morning snacking therefore might be a reflection of recreational or mindless eating habits rather than eating to satisfy true hunger.'
Figures from the NHS Information Centre suggest that 24 per cent of adult women in England were obese in 2009, while a further 33 per cent were overweight.

Why does my dog drag his bottom
on the carpet?
Many people believe this means their dog has worms, but more often than not it means that their anal glands are full and need to be emptied by the veterinarian. These small glands by their rectum can even become blocked. If this becomes a reoccurring problem, it makes sense to have the glands surgically removed to avoid painful infections.
My dog is limping a week after jumping up for a Frisbee, what could this be?
The most common orthopedic injury seen in dogs is a ruptured ACL (anterior cruciate ligament). Sometimes the dog will get moderately better after a week or two, but will never resolve without surgery. A veterinarian will usually sedate the pet for the best possible exam and to get the most diagnostic X-rays. This is done to rule out other knee and hip problems. If a positive diagnosis for ruptured ACL is made there are numerous methods of surgical repair. The surgery will be most successful if done soon to avoid arthritis.
My dog is overweight and we are having trouble getting the weight off. He is always hungry! What can we do?
The answer is diet and exercise, but that is easier said than done. The most helpful way to address an overweight pet is to see your veterinarian for a diet plan. This may sound extreme, but just like with people, we need guidance and accountability. There are now prescription pet diets that are so low in calories that they cannot be sold in the store. With the aid of computer programs a veterinarian can tell us exactly how much of this food to feed to get the most rapid, healthy, weight loss. When you factor in the amount spent on normal food, this program is a small price to pay to get the weight off in 2-3 months. An extra walk can't hurt either, (For the pet and the owner as well).
My dog never is boarded at the kennel, why does he still need a kennel cough vaccine?
The name of the vaccination (and the bacteria) for kennel cough is Bordetella. This has nothing to do with Boarding. It is a vaccination to prevent upper respiratory infection in both dogs and cats. Any animal that goes to a boarding kennel, grooming shop, veterinarian for its annual check-up, or interacts with a neighborhood pet can come in contact with this disease. (Did you notice that all pets should fit into at least one of the categories?) The vaccine may be administered by injection or by nose drop. It is recommended every 6 months or year depending on the risk of exposure. It is also one of the least expensive vaccines at the veterinarian.
My cat has bad breath and I can't brush his teeth. Any ideas?
This should be checked out at the veterinarian because your pet may have a severe mouth infection. Most pets need to have their teeth scaled and polished every 1-2
years. If a pet keeps up this schedule, they may keep their teeth their whole life and have much better breath as well as prevent systemic illness. If you can't brush their
teeth with edible pet toothpaste, there are sprays, chews and special foods that are easy to use and can really help put more time between cleanings.

Ester DiPippo Salvatore
Born 1928
Ester's father, Alfonso DiPippo, arrived from Italy in the USA in 1902. He settled on Washington Street where his relatives lived. Alfonso and his brothers put money aside and built homes on Morgan Street off Waverly Square. (Then the mailing address was Tuckahoe. Waverly Square and the area east of Waverly Square was an Irish neighborhood.)
Here is the list of the other brothers and sister and where they built their Eastchester homes:
1. Master Raffaele DIPippo- 44, 59, and 65 Merritt Avenue
2. John DiPippo 36 Morgan Street
3. Joseph DiPippo 21 Morgan Street
4. Christi DiPippo 43 Morgan Street
5. Angelo DiPippo 47 Morgan Street
6. Louis DiPippo 69 Morgan Street
7. Filomena Romeo 73 Morgan Street
8. Paul DiPippo 43 Morgan Street Died 1925
One brother named Nicolas remained in Italy.
Of the family members coming to America, there were eventually 8 brothers and 1 sister by the 1920's. None went back to Italy. None of the brothers went to school. They were forced to work.
Each of the brothers had a lot on Morgan Street and raised their families on Morgan Street, sending their children to Waverly and Eastchester High School.
Today Ester DiPippo Salvatore, Fay Romeo Commisa, and Alfonso DiPippo still live in the house Alfonso DiPippo, their father, built at 43 Morgan Street. As Ester described it: "We are now the sixth generation living in Eastchester. We are proud of our ancestors for choosing such a beautiful town for us and our grandchildren and our great, great grandchildren to live in. They attended Eastchester schools. Our family survived the Depression and carried on for us to live here. We must do the same. Now we are the 6th generation living in Eastchester."
Another apartment building was built on Columbus Avenue in Tuckahoe. They called it the DiPippo building.
Today DiPippo family members live on Morgan Street, Park Avenue, Oakridge Place, Overlook Road, Columbus Avenue, Longview Drive and in Scarsdale.
The census determined at one point that the DiPippo family was the largest Italian family living in Eastchester, outnumbering the Tavolilla family.
The section in Italy they left behind was Villanova Del Bapttista, near Naples, in the province of Avelino.
When asked why they left Italy, Ester (1928) offered these words: "America was a land of opportunity. The men went to work in the quarries and in construction. They saved money and bought property. This was the American Dream."
Starting in 1910, the DiPippos , together along with the DiRienzos, built Assumption Church from Tuckahoe Marble.
Ester described the early days as: "Before we moved to our own homes, we lived in cold-water flats on Washington Street. There were also cold-water flats on Columbus and Maynard. People had to take a trolley to Yonkers to get a hot bath.
"At home we grew up Italian. Religion was a big deal. Friday was fish night. Saturday was steak. And, we fasted on Sunday before Mass and Holy Communion. Sunday was pasta day!
"We had 35 cousins. Everyone sat out on the front porches. The DiPippos were a musical family. I was offered a full scholarship for music, when I graduated from Eastchester High School in 1945. We played card games. We never needed baby sitters because we always had family. Kids played on the street. Play dates did not exist. We made up our own games.
"Our family got along with other groups. However, we did have trouble with the Irish. We got along with other groups and races because we were always considerate. Blacks lived next store to Italians. Grandfather would invite our black neighbors over for a glass of wine.
"Italian men worked. The women were the heart of the family and the home. For the most part they did not go out to work.
"In the schools the teachers changed our names so they would sound more American. Some people used slurs against Italians that hurt. WOP (Without papers, Deigo), meaning a day laborer.
"During the Depression grandfather lost his work. But, our house on Morgan Street was designed so he could rent it out. We were able to be more self-sufficient. Everything was homemade. We made our own clothing and shoes. We had animals, pigs, chickens, and goats. We had our gardens, made our own wine, and canned our own food.
"The movie house we went to was called the 'Itch.' A ticket cost ten or fifteen cents.
"During World War II there were no men — only women and children. Father was a warden. He carried a flashlight in case we were attacked. You had to dim your lights."
After the war there were great times. Lord and Taylor's was built in 1948, a few months too late to buy a wedding dress for Ester. She was asked if she had a sad moment or a great fear. Ester replied that she had none.

Do you worry about [an aging or infirmed] loved one staying home alone when you go out to do errands? Do you provide regular care for a family member, but need to head out of town for business, a wedding or just to take few days away for yourself?
Assisting Hands Home Care's respite care services in Arlington Heights, IL, Mount Prospect, Wheeling, IL and surrounding areas can make informal caregivers feel at ease. Our qualified and compassionate caregivers are trained in helping the family and friends with supplementary personal and housekeeping services, so that they can spend quality time with their loved one.
What are respite care services and why are they important for the caregiver?
Caring for a loved one on your own can bring great joy and great challenges. Even as longevity increases and informal caregiving becomes more common, the stress and responsibility of caring for an aging loved one isn't often discussed.
For instance, did you know that informal caregivers report some of the highest rates of depression? That's why taking care of yourself is essential to making sure you can be there for your loved ones when they need you most.
Take a Break from Caregiving
Respite care services can offer you a much-needed break from caregiving. Assisting Hands Home Care's trained caregivers can come for short 4-8 hours shifts, or stay for a few days. Taking time away allows you to return home feeling refreshed. You can bring more energy and stories of new experiences to share with your loved one.
Here are a few more statistics about informal caregiving:
- More than 65 million people in the US provide informal care to a loved one
- The majority of those caregivers (66%) are women
- About a quarter of caregivers report their health in fair or poor condition
Education and support for caregivers are becoming increasingly important. Caregiver support groups are available at your local Arlington Heights Senior Center, through AARP, and your local chapter of the Alzheimer's Association. Do not be afraid to reach out for help.

No Right Answer: Best Robin Ever
Pages PREV 1 2
I misread the title and was disappointed for a bit.
But that gives me an idea for you guys.
Best Reboot Ever.
Hell you could probably split it into movie and video game reboots if you want.
Because he did a awesome job in Brightest Day, Dick Grayson Batman was okay in my mind. That biases me to Dick being the better Robin. That and the fact that Dick Grayson confidently wears his hot pants.
EDIT: While on the subject of comics, you guys should go with Super Girl vs. Power Girl.
LONG LIVE RACOON MAN!! (Inside jokes FTW)
I ran into a spot of trouble with the high quality version of the video...I dont know if this was just me but it was very "distorted" and it wouldnt load beyond a certain point no matter how long I waited orhow often I refreshed...I was able to watch it when I switched to the lower quality video
My main man right here:
Oh wait.. you were all talking about that Robin.
Red Robin was the best comic no one read... And probably the biggest casualty of the New 51...
I vote for Damien Wayne, I hated his guts at first, and thought he was an absurdity in the Batman universe, a truly unbearable character... But then came the New 52 and I began to see Damien in another perspective. Not only I believe he is the best Robin, he is also the ONLY Robin I ever enjoyed. Funny thing is, I like Nightwing and Red Hood, I just hate them as Robin's. Red Robin is also pretty cool though, but cool doesn't cut it for me.
Three Batmans, Bruce Wayne, Jean Paul Valley and Dick Grayson
Terry McGinnis doesn't count?
We could dig up a few lists, I'm sure.
Tim wins. Sure Dick had the confidence to wear speedos in public, but Tim wears pants in the Robin relationship.
/highfive Carrie Kelly ftw. That girl really was a ray of sunshine. She was the only one who could wear the colors and truly look like she belonged in them.
Even Supes could see it. She goes after him in a Bat Tank and after peeling her out it, all he has to say is "Isn't tonight a school night?"
Yeah, don't see why you need it to be a Batgirl. Mind you, I would like to see a male Batgirl. Not as a permanent thing, but as a temporary replacement, someone who thinks the Batgirl idea is more important than gender.
Personally, Stephanie Brown, to me, isn't Batman's sidekick, she's Cassandra Cain's sidekick. But then, I find the Bat-family works best when Batman isn't around, they all gripe about how grumpy he is rather than have to talk to him.
What's the 'idea' of a Batgirl, though? When it comes to Robin, he performs the very important role of the Batman's sidekick, someone who is there to keep him from going too dark. If anything, the 'idea' behind batgirl is 'girl-version of Batman'
But when it comes to female characters like Wonder Woman, that could work. Let's say Wonder woman dies/disappears/has to take over Santa's workshop, it would be possible for a male character to step in to take her place (temporarily, mind) as a warrior and an ambassador between the Amazons and the rest of the world, and as someone who fights for equality.
Batgirl doesn't seem to even be a girl version of Batman, most Batgirls are too teeny-girlish. I think the idea is to have a character that girls can relate to in the Batman comics. So why would you have a boy that girls can relate to? Batboy?
As far as a female Wonder Woman, that might work as a one-off, if you stretch it. Wonder Woman was about women being equal to men, so a man could not possibly take that role. Amazon's are all female, and notoriously anti-male. A Male ambassador wouldn't really work, and a male "Wonder Man" wouldn't fit with the backstory. It would be very controversial.
Hmmm,... A controversial challenge to the status quo, with "Wonder Man". I wouldn't read it, but it sounds like a solid read in theory. How do you create a "Wonder Man" costume that isn't dorky? Think of Aqua Man here,...
A change in tactics to lure readers. Rather than sell "Bella Swan" as Batgirl, sell "Edward Cullen" as Batboy. Hmmm,... An interesting idea.
I think originally Batgirl was introduced as a love-interest for Robin, to combat allegations of homosexuality. But that part of Batgirl's character has been left behind, as far as I know.
The reason it would be controversial is because there are so few female characters who aren't sidekick in comics, so losing one who has so much history behind her and is so iconic, would be bad.
However, you probably shouldn't get rid of Wonder woman as a character. You could run two storylines at once; Wonder woman being trapped in some other dimension, or on a mission, and meanwhile her replacement doing his stuff on Earth.
You know, there is an official genderbent version of WonderWoman, one of the alternative realities in DC universe had (or has?) genders reversed. He was very hairy.
Personally, I prefer WonderWoman wearing a short skirt, not panties. I'm talking about the kind that Xena wears, I don't know what it's called, but generally, Wonerwoman should dress like Xena.
And a male version could very well wear the same kind of outfit.

Earth Day is right around the corner. What better way to celebrate our planet than to start making some choices that will benefit its well-being. Plus, you'll save money! Here are five ways to save money and enjoy Earth Day.
Celebrate Earth Day with Extra Savings
Hopefully, you know that Earth Day is April 22nd. It's a day to stop and think about the planet. There are many ways to help the earth beyond this holiday or the usual recycling. These tips will also save you money. So dig in and get to work!
5 Ways to Be More Green for Earth Day
- Buy in bulk. The less single serving items the better because buying in bulk means less packaging. Usually, bulk amounts mean a cheaper price for the same item. Bulk doesn't have to be limited to big box stores. There are plenty of items- perishable or not- you can purchase online. For example, I often buy rice and spices online that are used frequently, like cumin and rosemary. I like it because we never run out and it helps reduce waste.
- Use your own dishware instead of disposable. I know it is very convenient to use disposable plates and cutlery. However, it creates a lot of trash and costs you money out of pocket. If you use your own items, you don't have any additional costs. There are some green options for disposable items. In the end, your own plates and supplies are still the best option for a get together. Visit your local thrift store or some yard sales to pick up extra sets of dishes to use.
- Participate in area clean-ups. This is a great way to exercise, get out as a single person, couple or family for a free activity. It also directly benefits the planet! Enjoy this activity beyond Earth Day. Anytime when there isn't snow is a good time for a clean-up.
- Use public transportation. By using public transportation, you can avoid a lot of costs, including gas, maintenance, and car payments. You might benefit from a few years without a big ticket item, like a car, and the consumer debt that goes along with it. Taking the bus or train to work helps the environment and your wallet.
- Buy a reusable water bottle. Single use plastic water bottles are an unnecessary use of plastic when you can buy one bottle to last you for years! There are a million different options for reusable water bottles now- straws, pop-up lids, sizes, colors, materials, etc. You can definitely find an option or two or three rather than constantly spending money on water bottles.
Earth Day is only one special day to celebrate. However, we can help the planet everyday by making a few greener choices in our purchases, activities and transportation.

Bishop of London blessed in role as Bishop Visitor
The Church of England's third most senior Bishop visited Wantage this weekend (15 & 16th June), to be blessed as Bishop Visitor by a community of nuns. The Rt Revd Dame Sarah Mullally, who was installed as the Bishop of London in May, visited the Community of St Mary the Virgin (CSMV), Wantage to take up a new role with the Sisters.
Bishop Sarah spent two days at St Mary's Convent meeting the Sisters and staff of the Community.
"The role of Bishop Visitor is to provide wisdom and inspiration," says Sister Stella, Sister in Charge of CSMV. "Bishop Sarah offers us an oversight of Church life, while enabling and encouraging us to continue and grow as a religious community. We were delighted when Bishop Sarah agreed to join us in this very important role."
Bishop Sarah joined the Sisters of the Community at a Blessing Eucharist on Saturday morning in the Chapel of St Mary Magdalene, when she formally took up her new position. The Community's Warden, the Venerable Caroline Baston, Archdeacon Emeritus of the Isle of Wight, conducted the service.
"It is great privilege and a joy to be invited to take up the role of Bishop Visitor at one of the Church of England's religious houses," says Bishop Sarah. "The task is to make sure everything is in place for the Community to flourish, to be the best that it can. I'm a friend with whom the Sisters can reflect on where they are as a Community and on what God is calling on them to do."
Former chief nursing officer, Bishop Sarah was installed as first female Bishop of London at a service held at St Paul's Cathedral, London on May 12. Subsequently she has taken her seat in the House of Lords. Previously she was the Bishop of Crediton in Exeter diocese and Canon Treasurer at Salisbury Cathedral. Bishop Sarah was made a Dame Commander of the British Empire in 2005 in recognition of her outstanding contribution to nursing and midwifery.
More information about the Community of St Mary the Virgin (CSMV), Wantage, their ministry and their history as one of the earliest religious communities in the Anglican Church can be found online via their website.

Fourth graders rock and roll in Mrs.McLaughlin's class. Recently students in Mrs. McLaughlin's science class chose a mineral to research, they designed a poster, and presented to the class. The poster included a 2-4 paragraph essay about their mineral, a glossary of the properties of the mineral included in the essay, and 4 or more photographs.
Students learned how minerals are used in the world. For instance, hematite ash is poisonous, magnetic, used in jewlery, and supplies most of the world's iron. The students learned about the tests which geologists use to identify rocks and minerals. These tests are:
- luster
- light transmissity
- magnetism
- streak color, and
- observations.
Mrs. McLaughlin wanted the fourth graders to know how to work independently, how to research and to teach other students about their mineral.
As you can see, fourth graders rock!

WASHINGTON — After hitting a snag last week, negotiations in the Senate for an agricultural workers program — the last piece of a broad overhaul of the nation's immigration laws — appeared to be coming back from the brink on Monday.
Representatives of farmworkers and growers inched closer to a deal on wages for workers, under pressure from a bipartisan group of senators who want to move forward soon with a broad immigration overhaul.
Though the overall structure for the agricultural workers program had been set, the deal broke down last week over the issue of wages and the number of visas — known as H-2A visas — the program would provide to low-skilled farmworkers.
"The framework has been worked out, but the questions are wage rate and the cap, and both of those things are related to whether farmworkers are paid too much or too little," said Giev Kashkooli, a national vice president of the United Farm Workers. "Growers are currently making the claim that farmworkers make too much money, and we think they're making too little."
The labor unions say they want to ensure that workers are paid a fair wage, and are concerned that the growers' demand for an unlimited number of workers will make it easier for employers to exploit agricultural workers. The growers, meanwhile, say they, too, want to pay workers a fair wage, but argue that if wages are too high, no one will use the program. If the visa cap is too low, there will not be enough workers and crops will perish.
"If the wage is set too high, growers will be unable to afford it and there will be no jobs because those growers are either going out of business, or they're going offshore where they can meet their labor demands," said Kristi Boswell, director of Congressional relations for the American Farm Bureau Federation.
The effort — which is being spearheaded by Senators Michael Bennet, Democrat of Colorado; Dianne Feinstein, Democrat of California; Orrin G. Hatch, Republican of Utah; and Marco Rubio, Republican of Florida — would offer agricultural workers an expedited path to earn a green card, which could take as little as three years. (Mr. Bennet and Mr. Rubio are part of a bipartisan group of eight senators who are working on a broad overhaul of the nation's immigration laws.)
Under the program being discussed, farmworkers in the country illegally could earn a green card in three to seven years, providing a path to legal status that is considerably quicker than the 10-year path under consideration by the bipartisan group for the nonagricultural workers already in the country illegally.
The timeline would depend on how many days per year a farmworker was willing to work in the agricultural industry — more days providing a quicker path to a green card.
First, according to several people with knowledge of the negotiations, all workers who could prove that they had worked a total of 150 days over the prior two years would qualify for a "blue card" visa, which would let them live and work here legally, and travel across state lines. Workers would then be eligible for a green card if they worked 150 days annually in three of the next five years, or 100 days annually in five of the next seven years.
Both labor and growers estimate that roughly 70 percent of agricultural workers are in the country illegally, and that farmworkers make up about one million of the 11 million illegal immigrants currently in the country. The goal of the agricultural worker program, aides said, is to give farmworkers, who are often performing tough manual labor that is critical for the nation's economy, an incentive to remain in the industry.
"There's broad recognition about the extraordinary work farmworkers do every day and have already done every day in feeding our country," Mr. Kashkooli said. "The best way to stabilize the agricultural industry and to not have a new program where we're bringing in new people who are making low wages is to reward the people who are currently doing the work and encourage them to stay in agriculture."
Still, the questions as to the number of workers who can enter the country and what wages those workers should be paid have been sticking points. Aides with knowledge of the talks said the number of workers would most likely be determined by a formula that would be overseen by the secretaries of agriculture and labor.
The senators have proposed a plan in which wages would vary by job and region. For instance, a California picker and a California equipment operator could be paid at different rates, and an equipment operator in California and one in New England could also be paid differently.
The growers, however, have yet to agree to the approach, said several people with knowledge of the negotiations. The workers' unions have agreed, even though they say that such a deal will lower wages by roughly 10 percent.

This ETP offers a way to play the carry trade through a single ticker, seeking to exploit the trend that currencies associated with relatively high interest rates, on average, tend to rise in value relative to currencies associated with relatively low interest rates. By borrowing in cheap currencies and investing in higher-yielding accounts, DBV is capable of delivering non-correlated returns that will generally be positive. Beware, however, that the carry trade has unwound before, and that such a phenomenon can lead to relatively significant losses in a short period of time. The other option for investors looking to implement a similar strategy is ICI, an ETN from iPath. Besides the structural differences, these products take a very different approach to the carry trade, so further investigation is warranted if trying to decide between the two.
The adjacent table gives investors an individual Realtime Rating for DBV on several different metrics, including liquidity, expenses, performance, volatility, dividend, concentration of holdings in addition to an overall rating. The "A+ Metric Rated ETF" field, available to ETFdb Pro members, shows the ETF in the Currency with the highest Metric Realtime Rating for each individual field.

text: I was born to be wild, a wild thing running free, a bowler-hatted Steppenwolf on the steep Steppes of Santa-Anyplace. I rode a six string saxophone with a left-field pickup truck, swinging in the trees and looking to get lucky. A power-chord primate with intuitive ignition, I radioed my intentions intensely. I was Lay Lady Lay in a lay-by near Las Lascivious fretting over her laid-back arpeggios. Nothing makes sense in a wild town, you have invent all your own meanings and feed them back down, town to town. I wasn't born to be understood, I peeled the fruit of life on the run. Outside Sacramento we were Monkey Magnifico, our amps ran off with the lost chord of the planet and the audience were torn between ovation and disgust. Well that's rock n roll for ya!!

I am writing in English because I want to warn potential passengers to avoid this flight from hell. I am talking about Lufthansa flight 0728 from Frankfurt International Airport to Shanghai Pu Dong Airport with Airbus 380-800 in economy class, lower deck. I do not know if the upper deck is better, but I doubt it.
Some sadistic torturer designed the seat arrangement. It is so bad, that I am wondering if such an arrangement is even legal. Every seat has some kind of depression under it so that it is impossible for a normal height person to stretch the feet under the seat in front. The vertical space between the floor and the top of the seat is severely diminished, so the only way to stretch your feet is if you are a ballerina and are used to have your feet in line with your leg at zero angle. However, even if you were able of such a feat, you cannot do if for lack of space between the rows.
But wait, these are the good seats! It gets far worse. Every row (at least where I sat, around row 76) has in each section (right, center, left) a box in addition to this depression. In the central section, in the row where I sat, there were two such boxes. If you are assigned such a seat, then you literally cannot put both your feet under the seat -- forget stretching, just put your feet on the ground at right angle under the seat. It is impossible: the total width of your two feet combined is considerably larger than the space provided.
Ten hours after landing, my legs still hurt because of lack of blood circulation and I have
bruises all over my shin. I am sure that an elementary medical evaluation of the seats will force the airline to change this. It is a matter of time till someone will have a thrombosis attack during this flight.
The situation is rather sad. The plane left on time, arrived on time, the plane was clean, the meals were good, the cabin staff was highly professional and courteous ... and also embarrassed by the seats constantly excusing themselves of the situation they were put in. How should I describe it: this is a torture chamber that is very clean, efficient, and has a staff that is reluctant to torture you. But you are subject to a 9 hour torture with potentially serious health risks.
Compared to the cabin comfort on this flight, low cost carriers such as Ryan Air, EasyJet,
Wizzair, Air Berlin, etc, seem like first class. Hello airlines ! Is anyone reading this ? If yes, please take over such flights from Lufthansa. You do not even have to advertise seriously: just say in your commercial that you do not have boxes under the seat in front, not horizontal ones, not vertical ones. Believe me, the passengers know what you are talking about.
This is the flight from hell ! The problem is the seats in this Airbus 380-800.
Avoid it all costs if you care about your health.
Are you a representative of Lufthansa and would like to reply to this review or be notified by email when reviews are published about your airline company? Please contact us!

My name is Željko Finžgar and I am civil engineer with programming as my passion! For the past decade I've programming and designing in my free time.
My main areas of expertise in programming are:
My primary source of income comes through my passion and work as civil engineer where I'm working as project manager and occasionally as draftsman. At work I use extensively F-Project (my online app to track project progress and status overall), MS Project™ and Outlook™ to organize things and AutoCAD™ as primary drafting software. When we needed a BIM solution, Revit™ was the preferred tool.
Through years collected knowledge in special roof systems with big opening widths, industrial and agricultural building systems, wood prefabricated constructions like trusses and glued systems, precast concrete, etc, are real helpful in everyday business and customer relationship management.
Though lately, my work falls under category precast concrete structures.
English, Deutsch and Croatian are my preferred languages as you can see through this multi-language website. Every site is written in language that is most appropriate to that Project page. For those who don't understand current language, option to translate using Google's machine translation technology is available at the top of each webpage.
Some of my private projects, which are developed as a result of engineering collided with programming, are listed and fully available as freeware (as in: free to use) on this website - go to the Downloads page and try them!
Those projects were not only created by client requests, but also to research new technologies and to further develop my skills.
No matter how brilliant your idea is, at the end of the day, success depends on one thing and one thing only - user experience.
Let me transform your idea in to effective program solution that is efficient, faster, more functional and user-friendly = Stay Productive!
If you're asking yourself: Why would I need that?
If you have an interesting Idea or Project that needs to be transformed into a user-friendly solution or you require further information, feel free to contact me at . or visit finzgar.com.

BROOKLYN, N.Y. — The first event of the year organized by the St. Joseph's College (Brooklyn) Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) was a huge success as over 50 student-athletes turned out to join the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Brooklyn Walk on Sunday, October 15th.
"Seeing so many members of our teams come together and support this tremendous organization was very special," commented Director of Athletics and Recreation James Lally. "Everyone involved in this event saw the power that comes with uniting people around a cause. That is what it means to be a student-athlete and teammate, and that is what it takes to fight cancer; unity around a purpose."
The student-athletes joined over 25,000 participants for the event that began at MCU Park and circled around Coney Island. Among the many people they met along the 5-kilometer stroll was NYC mayoral candidate Nicole Malliotakis, who also posted a photo with the Bears on her twitter.

Driven by their competitive nature, the student-athletes also smashed their original goal by tenfold, raising over $5,000 to date for the American Cancer Society. "Softball set the tone. They were the first ones to bring in over $500. They were the first to bring in over $1,000," commented SAAC President and men's basketball senior Alec Willis. "Other teams saw that and said 'why don't we do that?' and then Baseball raised over $1,000 and then Women's Soccer did it, and everyone was just following along."
Players, coaches, and others in the Bears' family came together to support a powerful cause, as many who walked have directly felt the effects of breast cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, the goal for Making Strides of Brooklyn was to raise one million dollars, and the Bears, dressed in pink, did their part to contribute.
Softball junior Nicole Quintana felt a personal connection to the walk. "Bringing awareness and raising money for breast cancer research means a lot to me and my family because my grandmother is a breast cancer survivor. The walk was such a special thing for me to participate in, and donate money towards."
As has been an annual tradition for many SJC teams, the women's volleyball and soccer teams also hosted special breast cancer awareness games recently. "I feel everyone nowadays is affected by someone with breast cancer or any cancer in general and we're just playing for all those people who are working hard and trying to beat their battle," added women's soccer freshman Deserae Sequeira, who scored five goals in a win over Yeshiva University during their awareness game.
"Everyone's buying into what SAAC's trying to accomplish, which is camaraderie within the school and community," concluded Willis. Asked about what else to expect from SAAC this year he added, "we're partnering with SGA [Student Government Association] for a 3-on-3 basketball tournament. We're doing #HashtagLunchbag again to bring lunches to the homeless shelter. And a new 'Battle of the Bears' competition where you receive points for attendance at games and other campus events, performing community service projects, and doing well in class."
Supporters can still contribute to the Bears efforts for the American Cancer Society via their team pages through December 31.
