I've started the last phase of my Book, Which is the Proof of Concepts… and during which I'm laying a Solid Foundation of Psychology behind the revolutionary "Work Love Balance".
I've researched and looked through 100s of Books, dozens of Movies and 1000s of articles during the past 5 years while writing.. there were several topics that grabbed my attention, several ones that blew me up of my feet and few ones that DAZZLED me… and here's one of them..
I'm sure most of the readers here would be more likely to have watched the movies than read the actual books.. so I'm going to make my examples from even more popular and general Movies… (although I believe that reading the book is a totally different experience than watching the movie… a good example is the famous "He's not that into You" Movie vs Book… if you read the book you'll know exactly what I mean)
Ok I don't know what to call it yet… but for now, I'm going to call it… The OTHER Person Phenomena (it applies to Guys as well as Girls)… The person who happened to be at with the wrong place at the right time… With the wrong person at the right time… or simply at the right place at the wrong time…
When you're watching a Romantic Movie, or simply a romantic story within a movie – especially if it's a good movie – you get somehow connected to the roles the actors are playing.. and you get so attached to the story while you're watching that you feel that you sometimes need to yell at the Girl saying "Get back to him you fool…" or at the Guy "Tell her you Love her you Moron…" ; I mean haven't this happened to lots of you movies fans?
And while we all strive for the "Right Things" in the Love Story… We miss that "Things are already Right"… and I'm talking about a classic story of a girl loves a guy, a guy loves a girl .. they broke up for some reason… years later they meet while each of them is with another person… then the story goes on from one scene to the other and at the end They get back together… and everybody's happy …. you wipe some happy tears and when the lights are up.. you go home dreaming how this love story was an astonishing one…
Well HOLD ON… Everybody's Happy?? … HELL NO!! What about the OTHER PERSON???
I guess the best movie you should watch to know what I mean would be … Sweet Home Alabama..
or maybe Spiderman 2
or if if you're into Arabic Movies…. watch "3an el 3ishq wal Hawa"
Well 1/3 (being pessimistic cause it's much more than that) of the movies I've seen has the Other Person Phenomena in them… and to be honest, they vanish from the story at the end..
So the Phenomena is very simple… The Other Person is the person who (most of the times) is the loving, caring, and exceptionally great type, that did everything as he should've had… and at the end DIDN'T GET THE GIRL
And what really dazzles me is that people are OK with that!!! and they even Clap when she Run-Away from her Wedding-with-that-Amazing "Other Person" Whose Dreams and Love Life gets crushed before his eyes… to be with her Old Love.. because that is the "Right Thing to Do"…
The dilemma with the "Doing Right Things" and "Doing Things Right" have a whole different meaning in the Corporate World.. and I go there deeply in my Book… and guess what… There's a HUGE Similarity in both Contexts… but I Guess you need to wait for my Book to Read more about it

To be honest, I love Sanjaya the first time I saw him at the American Idol audition. I loved him even more when he showed his love for his sister as soon as he knew his sister didn't made it to the next round at Hollywood audition.
If you read the forum at the American Idol website, you knew he was the most popular guy until Antonella Barba case was exposed. Barba didn't lasted long in the show but Sanjaya fame continues to rise not because of his talent but his personality and hairdo.
The rating of the show continues to fall but I don't think anyone should blame Sanjaya. The show is bland: Melinda Doolittle and Lakisha Jones are flawless even Simon didn't know what to comment anymore, Ryan Seacrest and Simon and their homophobic jokes, Randy Jackson and his same ol' "It was a little bit too pitchy for me" comment and Paula, I don't even want to talk about her.
The American Idol show is now depending on Sanjaya for publicity. I don't watch the show as regularly as I did before. I just tune in because I want to see if he performs really bad that week and I don't want to miss the moment if he's voted off. But hey, there are other contestants like Phil Stacey and Haley Scarnato who are far worse than Sanjaya who should be voted off first but they continue to stay on.
Going into my main point, people like Gina Glocksen, Chris Sligh and my favourite Stephanie Edwards are the victims of the voting system. I have long disagree with this so-called democratic approach to find a talented singer. We didn't make a mistake the first time when we decided that Jaclyn Victor is the well-deserved winner of Malaysian Idol. But look at what happened to Malaysian Idol in season 2.
Another significant weakness of the voting system was shown in Akademi Fantasia. Mawi is not my favourite contestant in AF3 but this man deserves to win because he's really popular. But what happened to other contestants in the same batch with him? The huge gap between Mawi and his fellow friends was very demotivating because you know you did your best and received applause from judges but you will never be able to match the popularity of Mawi even though he made mistakes like forgetting lyrics, sang out of tune or received bad reviews from the judges.
Once I heard that some contestants from Blast Off spent thousands of ringgit to ensure they will go far in the competition. Another contestant in Astro Talent Quest not only won the competition through the voting system but also represented Malaysia in a TVB8 singing contest and won the most sms votes despite his lack of popularity and losing in the singing contest judged by Hong Kong celebrities.
To me the voting system is a total rip off of viewers money because for each vote, you are paying like 50 sen or 65 sen. And now Akademi Fantasia is introducing Afundi Sakan whereby viewers can place 3 or 5 votes with each call. What is so democratic about the system?
The moral of the story: the voting system in reality shows is the symbol of the democratic world we live in. Look at the suffering world around us. The influential and rich will always win or have better advantage than those who doesn't. But since we accepted the system, we made decisions on who becoming our leaders (whether you vote them or not) and hence we will have to bear the consequences of our own action.

Ladies, 10 Flirting Mistakes You Probably Are Making
Flirting is fun, flirting works, but flirting can also go very wrong! Whether it's someone you know or someone you just met, nothing gets the message across to a guy that you are interested in quite as fast as flirting does, but as anyone who has dropped a flirting clanger before will know, when it goes wrong, it can go very, embarrassingly wrong. Even if you think that you have perfected the art of flirting, you should still read this post, because, here, we list out ten flirting mistakes that you are probably making and you don't even know it.
1. Getting too close for comfort
The true art of flirting is to entice the guy, not to smother him! Don't get too close, too soon, and don't appear like you are clinging on to him for dear life. Guys like their own personal space and they like to think they are in control, so tempt him, tease him and flirt, but don't be too clingy with him, or he'll think he's attracted some kind of stalker.
2. Keep it subtle ladies, subtle
Don't go at it like a bull in a china shop; flirting works best when it is subtle. You can put a guy off when you make your flirting too obvious, so don't try so hard and don't go overboard. A light hand on his shoulder will do the trick, you don't need to have your hand high up on his inner thigh to give him the message. Too much and you'll scare a lot of guys away.
3. One guy at a time!
Even though we, girls, are quite good at multitasking, our next flirting tip for girls is to focus your flirting on the guy you are really interested in, and don't flirt with other guys in the room at the same time. If he notices that you are flirting with other men, then the guy that you are really interested in will back off. You want to make him feel special and feel that you singled him out for your attention.
4. Don't do all the talking
Some people get nervous when they are flirting and they start to babble on about themselves so much that the guy doesn't quite know what hit him. You might feel excited and nervous, but you've got to give him a chance to talk too. It really is a big mistake for you to hog the conversation, so ask him questions about himself and give him a chance to answer you.
5. Never flirt when you've had one glass of wine too many
Don't rely on the vino to give you courage to flirt with your crush, because that could very well lead to disaster. One drink to relax you is fine, but if you go over the top with the wine, you'll go over the top with the flirting too. You don't want to wake up the next morning thinking: 'OMG, What have I done!'
6. Playing games
Men have short tempers and an even shorter attention span, especially, if they think that someone is just playing games with them. Flirting with a guy and then, pretending to not be interested and playing hard to get will definitely not get him interested. A little bit of playful teasing is OK, but don't leave him with the impression that you are nothing but a tease.
7. Talking about the ex
Now is not the time to be moaning about how bad your life is or how bad your ex treated you. This is the time for light hearted banter and a bit of fun! If you start talking about your ex, he's going to think you are on the rebound and that will certainly not endear him to you. Leave all your woes at home; they're for another time and another place.
8. Acting helpless and dumb
Playing the dumb damsel in distress is another mistake that plenty of women make when they are flirting. Men do love coming to the rescue of a damsel in distress, but they don't want to be with a girl who is completely clueless! Quite apart from that, he will probably see straight through the act anyway.
9. Giving everything away at once
Here is another one of useful flirting tips for girls – don't give him your full life story in ten minutes either, you want there to be a little bit of mystery about you, so that he will want to find out more. You're trying to lure him with little titbits of information about you that will leave him wondering and, hopefully, his imagination running wild!
10. Coming on too strong
As we mentioned earlier, subtlety is the key to flirting. It's all about a hint of what might come and not an 'in your face' sexual advance. If you come on too strong, he could get completely the wrong impression about the type of girl you are and you might scare some guys off. He might even go and tell his friends and that's how rumours and bad reputations start.

The book is written through the eyes of a physical chemist and this helps to explain its detailed and hard scientific approach. The concepts offered in the book are valid and it is worth reading even if one is not working in a physical laboratory. It will provide an understanding for graduate students that may work in biology, medicine or other physical sciences.
It also provides a strong overview of pure science and some of the issues it faces. It moves into other concepts such as cost, morality, scientific literature, observation, cause and effect, hypothesis, deduction, models, mathematics and the very process of designing experiments. Likewise, one will find apparatus design, sampling, analysis, and general errors.
You may be interested in the chapter on the analysis of experimental data. The interpretation of data is a critical step in the experimental process. If done poorly the wrong conclusions are realized and improper scientific discoveries found. The facts are not always facts. When considering all of the data it may be necessary to go back and ensure the information drawn is accurate and not a result of extraneous variables outside of the study.
Generally, once the hypothesis is proposed the researcher will design an experiment to test it in a systematic way. This can create a psychological effect whereby one is attempting to validate something they already believe in drawing likeminded conclusions without thinking about the alternatives. It is necessary to review all possible explanations to create the highest level of critical thinking and accuracy.
It is important to remember that validity comes through the testing of concepts in other places and times. Researchers will attempt to find the same conclusions by either running the same or similar research. The more times researchers come to the same conclusions, the stronger the validity of the study. Science is a social affair that works within a body of knowledge.

Hello Eva,
In Options Form Selection, you can untick the check boxes that you dont want in the print menu. If you would like certain forms to print before other, you can click on the check box and the drag it to the top of the menu and then drop it.
Make sur that you select the proper module and tax year as well as the correct print job
Been using Profile/Greenpoint (classic database) from day 1 but only realize of the "drag & drop" feature above now!! Will try this on other settings too.
So to repeat the question - is there any way to alter the global print settings? I don't want to have to uncheck the same boxes every single time for every single package and drag the same forms around every single time for every single package. I want to make it the default. Is there any way to do this?
Hi Eva, please review this article on how to adjust form selection. https://profile-en.community.intuit.ca/articles/1623796-how-to-setup-form-selection. Each year and year module has their own tab. once you adjust there, it should impact all returns (for that year and module). Hope that helps.
In my V2018.1.0 (Windows 7 Pro, 4G ram), the mentioned "drag & drop" technique moves hardly on the selected box in all tabs. Need a fix on this quick.

text: Egyptian law does not explicitly prohibit homosexuality, so the defendants were tried for debauchery [Getty Images]An Egyptian appeals court has reduced the jail terms for eight men sentenced last month on charges relating to their appearance in an online video purporting to show the country's first gay marriage ceremony. The court cut the sentences - on charges of spreading indecent images and inciting debauchery - from three years each to one year, judicial sources said. Gay marriage is not legal in Egypt, a conservative Muslim country with a sizable Christian minority. Homosexuality is a taboo in both communities. Last month's convictions were based on an Internet video showing two men exchanging rings and embracing among cheering friends at a party on a Nile boat. The video went viral on social media sites in August and caused a stir online. Egyptian law does not explicitly prohibit homosexuality, so the defendants were tried for debauchery - a charge normally reserved for prostitution. The defendants have denied the charges. About 26 men are to be tried on similar charges after they were arrested earlier this month in a raid on a Cairo bathhouse. The eight men whose sentences were reduced on Saturday were first charged in September when a public prosecutor's statement said that the images were "humiliating, regrettable and would anger God", concluding that they constituted a criminal act. The prosecutor ordered the coroner to carry out physical examinations as part of the investigation. The new ruling can be appealed to the Court of Cassation, the country's highest court.

Refinance to an FHA Mortgage? Compare the Costs
February 5th, 2010

- FHA Refinance May Assist Homeowners with Little Home Equity
- One more reason to refinance your FHA ARM ASAP

- Does FHA Really Need to Prop Up Private Mortgage Insurers?
Story Tools
You don't need to have an FHA mortgage to refinance with FHA. And the fact that you only need 3.5% home equity is a compelling reason to consider this refinancing option. For those with conventional loans, FHA refinancing may be better than paying Fannie and Freddie's risk-based pricing adjustments. But FHA also has its costs (and they're going up soon).
FHA, Traditional, or HARP Refinance?
The refinancing choice best for you depends on your credit rating and the amount of equity you have. Regardless of your equity, FHA requires a mortgage insurance premium (MIP). There is also a monthly charge for most loans. If you have at least 20% equity and excellent credit, a conventional refinance is your least costly alternative. And if you don't have at least 3.5% equity and your current mortgage is owned / serviced by Fannie or Freddie, than the HARP is your only choice. It's those who fall between these extremes who have to carefully evaluate before choosing a refinance option.
HARP Highlights
If you originally bought your home with at least 20% down, and now you have less than 20% home equity due to decreasing home values, a HARP is worth a look. If you didn't need mortgage insurance on your original mortgage, you don't need it on your HARP loan, even if your mortgage balance exceeds your property's value. If you have low-to-middling credit scores, a high loan-to-value ratio, and / or other monkey wrenches like a manufactured home or condo, HARP may be better than traditional financing — there is a 2% cap on fees, while normal refinances can have much higher surcharges depending on the strength of your application.
HARP Doesn't Always Sound Good
HARP has its drawbacks — borrowers have reported that lenders take a very long time to process them and interest rates can rise while you're waiting. In many cases you are stuck with your original lender and while it has you captive it doesn't necessarily offer you the best rate. And often mortgage insurance is very difficult to come by.
FHA Advantages
If you have at least 3.5% equity in your home, FHA's refinance might be a better deal. First, its credit underwriting standards are less rigorous than Fannie Mae's and Freddie Mac's. Second, even though there is an MIP required, you are allowed to finance it, and that amount isn't included in your loan to value calculation. Third, you can shop for your loan and choose the most competitive provider.
Here's an Example
Supposing you originally bought your $300,000 condo by putting 10% down, and your property value dropped to $285,000, so that you now have 5% equity. Your current interest rate is 6.25% and your credit score is 659. What's better, HARP, FHA, or a Fannie Mae refi? Let's have a look.
FHA Costs
On a $270,000 FHA mortgage, your costs are:
Upfront MIP 1.75% (increases to 2.25% in late spring / early summer 2010) $4,725
Monthly MIP of .5% or $113 a month
Assuming 2% normal closing costs and a 5% interest rate, your APR is 5.72%
HARP Costs
Same $270,000 mortgage, costs are:
Loan Level Pricing Adjustments (LLPA) 2% $5,400
Monthly Mortgage Insurance at .94% (higher if you live in a soft real estate market) = $212 per month
Assuming 2% normal closing costs and a 5% interest rate, your APR is 6.08%.
Regular Fannie Mae Refi
Loan Level Pricing Adjustments as follows:
Adverse market delivery charge: .250%
Credit score: 1.75%
Condo: .75%
Total: 2.75% or $7,425
Monthly Mortgage Insurance at .94% (higher if you live in a soft real estate market) = $212 per month
Assuming 2% normal closing costs and a 5% interest rate, your APR is 6.15%.
So when looking at refinancing, consider FHA, even if your current mortgage is not an FHA loan. Try several lenders and compare their Good Faith Estimates for fees and APRs. And do it quickly, before FHA increases those insurance premiums.

Theophylline and Antiparasitic Drug Interactions
Mebendazole and thiabendazole are benzimidazole compounds used in the treatment of parasitic infections. Patients with asthma who have immigrated from areas endemic with Strongyloides may have exacerbations of their asthma with Strongyloides migration up the tracheobronchial tree. These patients may be treated with theophylline and if Strongyloides is found in stool or sputum specimens, thiabendazole may be added to their treatment.
There have been two well documented cases of a theophylline-thiabendazole interaction. In the first case, the theophylline concentration rose from 105 ltmol/L (19 |xg/ml) to 255 jimol/L (46 ^g/ml) during thiabendazole therapy. Toxic theophylline concentrations were avoided in the second case by reducing the theophylline dose by 33 percent initially, then again to 50 percent of the patients initial dose. buy viagra jelly
There have been no reported cases of a mebendazole-theophylline interaction. However, we present another well documented case of theophylline toxicity due to the addition of thiabendazole. This prompted us to perform a normal human volunteer study on the effects of steady-state thiabendazole or mebendazole on single-dose theophylline pharmacokinetics.

From People Don't Buy Products, They Buy Better Versions of Themselves by Belle Beth Cooper:
There is the famous story about Steve Jobs when he invented the iPod and everyone in the news and the rest of the tech industry scratched their head a little. MP3 players had been around for quite a while, what was so different about the iPod?
Of course, people argued many things were different, but one of the key aspects was how Jobs marketed and presented it: "1,000 songs in your pocket". When everyone else was saying "1GB storage on your MP3 player", telling people about the product, Apple went ahead and made you a better person, that has 1000 songs in your pocket.
Here's how our friends at User Onboarding explained features vs. benefits: "People don't buy products; they buy better versions of themselves. When you're trying to win customers, are you listing the attributes of the flower or describing how awesome it is to throw fireballs?"
(1) The article also quotes Jason Fried: "Here's what our product can do and Here's what you can do with our product sound similar, but they are completely different approaches."
(2) Cf. What problem are you solving?

T-G Staff Writer
Loudonville Real Estate bought and sold property for more than two years before listing itself as a marketable property, so to speak.
Howard Hanna J.C. Meyer Realty acquired the Loudonville real estate agency in a move to expand business into the far reaches of Ashland County.
"We've always been very strong in Ashland County but have not had the presence in Loudonville," said Kristi Burns, the new office manager of the Loudonville office.
Gordon Penner, founder of Loudonville Real Estate, decided to sell the business to free himself of management duties. Penner would rather be selling property than filing paperwork.
"I don't want to just be an office manager," Penner said.
Penner began real estate training in 1997 and received his license the same year. By 2004, he obtained his Broker's license.
Penner approached agent Chris Jeffers about becoming a partner in the business early this year but Jeffers felt unable to make the 50/50 partnership commitment.
Two other staff members at the office will remain with Penner -- Jeffers and Rebecca Todd. Burns hopes to expand the Loudonville office to include more local people. Bonnie Bright, a long-time Loundonville resident, is the first step in that process. Bright will act as the assistant manager.
"We definitely want to grow in that office. We're hoping to pick up some local folks as agents," said Burns.
Burns considers the transition to have been a smooth one and anticipates the future of the Loundonville office.
"With growth, comes change," said Burns. "I think it's gone well."

Hijiki & Star Fruit Salad
I finely diced the dried star fruit and rehydrated them in some sake. The dried star fruit absorbed so much flavor from the sake. Then, I rehydrated the Hijiki and seaweed in water, drained, toss them together with some rice wine vinegar, sugar, salt, red chili pepper and sesame oil along with the sake-rehydrated star fruit. The natural sweetness from the star fruit was wonderful and balanced well with the tartness from the rice vinegar and spiciness from the chili. The texture of the Hijiki was tender crisp and contrast well with the slightly chewy star fruit. This Hijiki and Star Fruit Salad will definitely boost your appetite as it's so light and refreshing.
Recipe courtesy of Amy Tong of http://utry.it
- 1/2 cup dried Hijiki
- 1/2 cup dried seaweed
- 1/2 cup dried star fruit, finely diced
- 1/2 cup sake
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 red chilies, seeded and finely diced

Not another one!
This one according to the LAPD apparently may have been precipitated by a job loss.
God rest their souls.
5 children, 2 adults found dead in home
WILMINGTON, Calif. -- A man apparently upset about his job situation killed his wife and five children before committing suicide at their home, police said.
Responding to a report of a shooting, cops made the grisly discovery of the bodies of a man, a woman, an 8-year-old girl, two 5-year-old twin girls and a set of twin 2-year-old boys, according to LAPD Deputy Chief Kenneth Garner.
"He was despondent, clearly, over his job situation," Garner said of the father.
The gruesome find was made shortly after 8 a.m. in the 1000 block of MacFarland Avenue, said Officer Sam Park of the LAPD's Media Relations unit. Wilmington, about 18 miles south of downtown, is a 10-square-mile community adjacent to the Port of Los Angeles.
Police said the bodies were scattered throughout the McFarland Avenue house.
Either before or after killing his family, the man sent a two-page typewritten letter to KABC-TV, Garner said. The Burbank-based television station called police in that suburb, Garner said.
"Obviously he wanted somebody to find the bodies," Garner said.
Garner said he didn't exactly know the man's job situation, but "it wasn't going well at work."
"In the note, he clearly said he was going to kill himself, his wife and his kids," Garner said.
Radio station KFWB's Pete Demetriou reported the man worked at a Kaiser hospital in Los Angeles.
Authorities withheld the names of the dead, pending family notification.
Los Angeles firefighters and paramedics were also dispatched to the site. News helicopters showed a sizable two-story tract home with a red tiled roof on a tidy street. A children's playset was in the backyard.

Breaking Bad News
Paul Gross
Bad news is like a lump of red-hot coal that lands in your palm--and that you can't let go of, no matter how badly you'd like to.
I was tossed the burning coal over twenty years ago, when I was thirty years old and fit as a fiddle. Or so I thought. I also happened to be a first-year medical student, having my head filled with facts large and small about the human body.
Then something started to go wrong.
The first inkling came when I had to excuse myself from a two-hour seminar because of a sudden urge to pee. No big deal...and yet something about its urgency bothered me. The next time the seminar met, I took the precaution of urinating beforehand.
It didn't help. The same painless urgency interrupted the session once more. What was up?
Before long, I found myself using bathrooms a lot--in fact, more often than anyone I'd ever met. Within weeks, a one-hour class exceeded my endurance. So did the bus ride to school. And I certainly couldn't make it through the night.
Then the thirst began. A raging, playground-in-the-summer thirst that had me running back and forth from my desk to the kitchen, filling tumbler after tumbler with water or orange juice as I tried to study anatomy.
Clever fellow, I wondered whether it was the drinking that was causing the peeing. One night, to see what would happen, I went to bed thirsty. It didn't help.
Nowadays, as a doctor, I know that such symptoms mean only one thing. But back then, I couldn't assemble the disjointed facts I was learning into a clear picture. I assumed there could be a million causes for my symptoms, most of them treatable.
There was one piece of inside information that I chose to ignore as it flitted in and out of awareness: a cousin in his early twenties who'd developed an unquenchable thirst during a car trip--and landed in a doctor's office, where he was handed a diagnosis of diabetes, juvenile onset, and put on insulin right away.
When I thought about my unfortunate cousin, I wondered whether he had to inject the insulin directly into his veins, like a drug addict.
Luckily for me, I knew that I couldn't have diabetes.
How did I know? Because I was healthy. How could a person as healthy as me have diabetes? The logic seemed airtight.
The night that I had to use the bathroom five times, I finally decided to see a doctor. For some reason those five visits exceeded a critical threshold and convinced me that I needed help.
I had the good fortune to be covered under a student health plan whose office was in a red-brick building a few blocks from campus. An elevator took me up to a hallway, then I entered a waiting room.
Behind a sliding-glass window sat a graying secretary named Gladys, who greeted me and told me the doctor wasn't in. But after hearing my story, she made a call and described my symptoms over the phone. She listened, nodded and hung up.
"The doctor wants you to leave us a blood sample and come back tomorrow," she said.
The next day, I returned to the brick building filled with hopeful anticipation, like a pilgrim in search of salvation--or a patient fully expecting a cure.
I entered the small, empty waiting room. Gladys looked up from the open sliding window. And that's when it happened. Before I could sit down or even register the look of concern on her face.
"Oh, Paul," she said. "The doctor's not here again today; she wants you to see a physician downstairs. It looks like you have a problem with diabetes."
There it was. In my palm. The burning coal. Hot. Searing.
After leaving the building, I made a woeful, shell-shocked telephone call to my girlfriend. Together we tried to process this bombshell.
A few days later I was hospitalized, learning how to inject myself with insulin (I did not, thankfully, need to hit a vein, just pierce the skin) and how to test my own blood sugar. I began to contemplate my new life--totally dependent for survival upon insulin, syringes and blood-testing gadgetry.
All of that made me sad. But the thing that stung most was the way I'd been told the news. I felt angry at Gladys, though I later came to know her as a nice person who'd been thrust into a role she wasn't trained to play. I felt mad at the invisible Dr. X, who'd diagnosed and discharged me through an intermediary. Finally, I felt mad at myself because I might have complained, but never did.
Now, twenty-five years later, I'm a physician who on occasion delivers bad news to patients. Sometimes it's really bad, like cancer. Sometimes it's emotionally devastating, like a sexually transmitted infection in someone who believed that her partner was faithful.
Oddly, I like being the one to give the news. Not because I enjoy inflicting pain. Rather, it's a form of repair. It's a chance to rewind the clock and imagine someone taking care of me the way I wish a real doctor had.
Because of my experience, I know the impact of bad news badly delivered. And I know how long the memory lingers.
When I teach residents how to deliver bad news, I think of a cookbook recipe. Close the curtain or door. Make sure everyone is seated. Ask the patient what he or she thinks might be causing the symptoms in question. And then, making eye contact, say some version of, "I'm afraid I have some bad news to share with you..." If it feels right, touch the patient with a comforting hand.
Then comes the most difficult part: Say nothing. Wait for whatever comes. Silence. Tears. Or an impatient "So what do we do next?"
Teaching residents how to break bad news isn't much of a stretch for me. All I need to do is remember what it felt like--and what I myself wished for--when someone tossed me the burning coal.

You might think that a place named "Suicide City" wouldn't be the first choice when you are looking to have a good time, but you might change your mind after spinning their latest and first full major release, "Frenzy."
Suicide City come bursting out on "Frenzy!" (I added the exclamation point) with the super-hype, "Cutter." Fast, frenetic, sometimes furious. You get introduced to vocalist Karl Bernholtzs' addicting delivery right away. This track really sets the bar high for the rest of the album. "Sex & Dying" is too far of a come down. (What are you doing? I'm still excited!) "The Best Way" saves us with it's great transitions, swingy feel and kick ass backup vocals.
I'm not going through the roof anymore when "Painted Horse" takes it easy for a few minutes, but Dan Lamagna's drums really carry this songs' feel, elevating it to another level entirely. This band is easily able to change moods on you at a moments notice. The proof is in the pudding as "Chemical Fight" brings us back to our happy place. Jennifer Arroyo, of Kittie notoriety, shows what girl metal is missing, while the heavies out there (i.e. Me) get theirs with a taste of some well placed double bass.
Say that 3 times fast.
I wasn't aware that "Burn" was a Cure cover until after a few listens. Without comparing it to the original, I liked it for it's own merit. The chorus will definitely get stuck in your head. "Undone" and "Spanish Fly" are perfect for the mood the album is in now. You are in the peaceful, eye of the storm until "She Waits" emerges. I would think they were using the clean passages to kill time in between trying to rip your face off, but they messed up by making the entire song good. This is the track you are dying to skip ahead to. Stay for "She Waits In A European Nightclub." It sounded more like "She Waits In a European Video Game" to me, but what do I know? "Start the Show", "Not My Year" and "Lost Years" (+ bonus track….shh!, don't tell anyone) round out the disc.
There are great performances all over this album. Billy Graziadei and AJ Marchetta's guitars are both epic and understated at the same time. Their diversity is what sets this group apart from the rest. Arroyo and Lamagna hold down the rhythm section and then some. Adding Karl Bernholtz's vocals to this mix is the icing on the cake. I highly suggest picking up "Frenzy." It will make you wonder "When are they going to be in town?"
Side notes:
Does Karl Bernholtz kind of sound like 36 Crazyfists singer Brock Lindow?
Do the first 10 seconds of "Undone" sound like the hook from Britney Spears "Toxic", but slowed down?
Like Suicide City? Check out: 36 Crazyfists, Poison the Well, Glassjaw.

From Farm to City
From Farm to City
From Farm to City: A Richmond County Savings Foundation Legacy Exhibition
NOTE: In 2012 From Farm to City: Staten Island 1661-2012 was created by the Museum of the City of New York. That exhibition focused on land use – Farmland/Suburb/Retreat/City. The Staten Island Museum's new legacy version focuses on the people and themes that define the Island's history and contributions to the nation, using primary sources.
From Farm to City offer a glimpse into Staten Island's unique history, its people, and the themes that resonate as collective truths on this island using images and historic documents, audio interviews, and digital collections. Staten Island history is rife with surprising facts, unusual characters, and deep-seated American paradoxes, and this exhibition strives to reunite Islanders with their past and share the evolving story of New York City's "Borough of Parks" with visitors. From Farm to City is also a taste of what you can find in the Museum's archive and other historical collections.
The Museum's history and exhibition team, graphic designer Tina Sher, and audio producer David Tarnow developed a dramatic collage that will present the rich history of an often "forgotten" borough. Audio stops will feature community members and historians, and iPads will allow deeper study of documents from various archives. Video newsreels, compiled by the Museum of the City of New York, make 20th century Staten Island come alive as well.
The exhibition will illustrate the Island's past from the first native inhabitants until the creation of Freshkills Park. Stories will include: Lenape Indian summer encampments, Revolutionary War raids, Civil War draft riots, and peaceful retreats for philosophers, wealthy city folks, and hard-working immigrants. Aging sailors, orphans, and the poor found refuge on Staten Island. African Americans founded a historic free community, and 19thcentury entrepreneurs created bustling factory towns. It will also explore moments of national significance, including the discovery of the cure for tuberculosis and the first tennis tournament in the United States.
By the mid 20thcentury, when Staten Island became the site of world's longest suspension bridge and its largest landfill, much of its history was overlooked or forgotten. Those who delve into the exhibit will find undiscovered stories to collect, compare, and consider.

text: Perhaps not so attractive for people in front of you but eating chicken with your hands tasts always better. Jamie Oliver has this wonderful and easy recipe of chicken with a sweet and sour sauce. I always make it easier because I love to see what to eat (perhaps I will regret it if my young guests prefer not to recognize what I serve). For 6p 2 kg of chicken (2 small ones have more bones than 1 big one). Fill the chicken with fresh parsley and a few pieces of ginger. Herb the chicken with chicken seasoning or pepper and salt. On the bottom of a big oven dish put sweet peppers (1,5 kilo), 2 big red onions, 1 big pineapple and a few garlic cloves, all roughly chopped. Mix the vegetables with grinded fennel seeds, pepper and salt, and a good drizzle of olive oil. Put the chicken on the vegetables and leave them for 1-1 1/2h in the oven at 180°. Jamie mixes half of the vegetables with 2 table spoons of sugar and 6 table spoons of balsamic vinegar. I prefer to serve without mixing the sauce but to put the balsamic vinegar halfway the baking proces in the oven dish for a sweeter taste. Serve the dish with a simple rice (60-70 grams pp).

"Théodred's death was not of your making." "No parent should have to bury their child…" I love and hate this scene for the exact same reason. It affects me in avery real and personal way (which I'd rather keep private) and it hits *hard*. #BernardHill absolutely nailed this scene. I wanted to post this shot a long time ago, but just thinking about the scene it represented made me want to hide and sleep and never come out. I'm feeling better about it now and I'm happy with how it turned out. My apologies for the lack of scene recreations these days. I'll do my best to share more shots with those of you who appreciate them.

M.Sc. Timo Viitanen's doctoral dissertation defence on Hardware Accelerators for Animated Ray Tracing took place on a warm and sunny Friday 25.5. The opponent was Dr. Samuli Laine, Principal Research Scientist at NVIDIA, and the Custos was Prof. Jarmo Takala from the Department of Pervasive Computing.
Ray tracing is one way for computers to paint images with, e.g., reflections, transparent objects, and even full physics-based simulation of the propagation of light. Ray tracing in real-time has been a long-time goal (or pipe dream) in computer graphics, and recently there have been major efforts by the video game and GPU industries in this direction. In his dissertation, Timo studied how add extra hardware to GPUs so as to help make ray tracing work in the difficult case of animated scenes which contain moving characters and objects.
The defence started with background presentations with Timo going through a short history of graphics, and the opponent expanding on the challenges of modern photorealistic rendering. An interesting discussion followed, starting with general questions on the background and motivation of the thesis, and then moving on to a technical review. The defence concluded around two hours fifteen minutes with the honorable opponent recommending the dissertation to be accepted.

The hammer struck again and again. Over the rhythmic cadence, the cry of an eagle announced dinner time. The bird flew in wide circles over Mr. Trent's property around 7pm sharp. That's when he came out and threw big chunks of meat in the air for the eagle to catch. When satisfied, the eagle flew away to return the next day.
Where Mr. Trent got the meat was a complete mystery to his neighbor Peter. Mr. Trent had no cattle, no poultry, he never left his property, where he lived with his wife, and no one ever dropped by.
One day, as Peter heard the hammer strike once again, right before 7pm, he ventured next door. He jumped over the wooden fence easily and walked as silently as he could towards the barn where the hammering sound came from.
He slid close to the walls, only to see Mr. Trent hitting a few frozen chunks of meat to separate them. He drew closer. Mr. Trent hammered and hammered.
Much to Peter's horror, one of the bits got separated and hit the ground. It was a hand.
And that was the last thing Peter saw.
"Elyse, please, again?" Mr. Trent complained. "We have no room left."
Mrs. Trent, a nocturnal woman taken to unusual habits, smiled.
"I just couldn't resist, dear. Normally, I have to ride so far away and carry them here. This one was so... handy!"

Working six days a week sure does take it's toll on a person, but I'll say this much…it always feels great at the end, and I'm sure my paychecks love me for it! Wheeee! I'm still trying to find time to write stories and/or do 3D images again, but I also need to find some different webspace because the one I'm using now is being VERY flaky!
On the fashion frontier, I found the most gorgeous boots! Check this out!
While the picture REALLY doesn't do them justice, the boot (along with the platform) come to a very satisfying point at the front, so if you look down, you'd almost think you were looking at a pair of cowboy boots (unless you looked from the back *g*).
Ahhhh…the joys of mail order. How sweet the victories are! Yay!

Markey, Blumenthal and other Democrats filed legislation that would prohibit the publication of a digital file online that allows a 3D printer to manufacture a firearm. Democrats have filed a separate bill to require that all guns have at least one significant component made of metal.
The measure is intended to ensure that even guns primarily made of plastic can be discovered by metal detectors.
In a suit filed Monday in Seattle, eight Democratic attorneys general asked a judge to block the federal government's settlement with Defense Distributed that allowed the company to make the plans available online.
People can use the blueprints to manufacture plastic guns using a 3D printer. But industry experts have expressed doubts that criminals would go to the trouble, since the printers needed to make the guns are very expensive, the guns themselves tend to disintegrate quickly and traditional firearms are easy to come by.
Unlike traditional firearms that can fire thousands of rounds in a lifetime, the 3D-printed guns normally last only a few rounds before they fall apart, experts say. They don't have magazines that allow the usual nine or 15 rounds to be carried; instead, they usually hold a bullet or two and then must be manually loaded afterward. And they're not usually very accurate.
Cody Wilson, the founder of Defense Distributed, first published downloadable designs for a 3D-printed firearm in 2013. The plans were downloaded about 100,000 times until the State Department ordered him to cease, contending the effort violated federal export laws since some of the blueprints were downloaded by people outside the United States.
The State Department reversed course in late June, agreeing to allow Wilson to resume posting the blueprints.
The company filed its own suit in Texas on Sunday, asserting that it's the victim of an "ideologically fueled program of intimidation and harassment" that violates the company's First Amendment rights.
Meanwhile, Defense Distributed agreed to block temporarily Pennsylvania residents from downloading the plans after state officials went to federal court in Philadelphia on Sunday seeking an emergency order. The company said it has also blocked access to users in New Jersey and Los Angeles.

Sometimes that person will walk into Lush as you are picking up Jasmine & Henna Fluff and you will hide behind the nearest fixture.
True story.
I had replied to the person's status saying places like Hobby Lobby are being discriminated against by not being allowed to control what female employees talk to their doctors about. It turned into two people calling Plan B "the abortion pill" and me using science to point out that it is not that and explaining what Plan B actually does.
The best part was when I simply said that Plan B doesn't cause an abortion and I got a response saying "says who" and I replied "Science."
Hence my hiding when I saw the person IRL.

…I know, BAD Doc
The Doclopedia #989
Poultry That Saved The Day: The Duck Who Stopped The Zombies Genre: Humor, Horror
Dr. Taringani had been hiding in the Safe Room for two days, ever since that Rhesus monkey had come back to "life" on the operating table and attacked Gary and Francine, then crashed through glass of the observation window into 30 students. The virus had mutated inside the monkey and was now killing humans, apes and monkeys at an alarming rate. A cut, a bite, an inhalation at close range…that was all it took. According to the radio, which they often left on in the lab, the zombie virus had spread a thousand miles outward from Wisconsin in a mere 48 hours.
Of course, after he had made his initial call to the CDC, the battery on his phone went dead, so he had been cut off from communicating with the rest of the world. The zombies had only hung around outside the thick glass walls of the Safe Room for about half a day before running off. Yes, these weren't slow shambling zombies, they were fast and strong and still intelligent enough to be cunning.
While he had been trapped, Dr. Taringani had figured out an airborne anti-virus that would destroy the zombie virus. Now, free from the Safe Room, he got to work on it. It didn't take that lone to make, since they had already created an anti-virus to what they had thought was just a version of a common flu virus. Getting it airborne was pretty easy affair, requiring only a very high pressure tank, which he had grabbed from the physics lab, and a tank full of the anti-virus. The anti-virus tank had a safety setup on it that, after filling, required him to enter a 6 digit code, so he chose his birthdate, 3-7-1970. Figuring that the tank would release a cloud of several hundred yards volume and noting that there was a stiff breeze blowing south, he figured that the anti-virus should kill all the virus in at least a few hundred square miles. Satisfied that he had done his best, he began towing the very heavy tanks out of the building and into the quad.
It took him a while to reach the quad, a place he had always liked. He took a moment to check for zombies (which he had been doing every ten seconds or so anyway), catch his breath and admire the fact that the ducks, geese and swans were swimming in the pond as though nothing was wrong. Actually, for them, nothing was wrong. The virus only affected humans, apes & monkeys.
He had just typed in the first three digits of the code when he heard the waterfowl making excited noises. He turned just in time to see a hulking zombie, probably a football player, leaping towards him.
The doctor and the zombie went down onto the grass and rolled around. By the time Taringani could break free, he had been scratched several times. The zombie was up fast and the doctor barely dodged him. Seeing a rock next to the pond, he grabbed it and, as the zombie grabbed and bit him, he bashed in the side of it's head. Sure enough, disrupt the brain with enough trauma and the zombie stopped functioning.
The bite wound burned like fire and his vision was beginning to blur as Dr. Taringani staggered back to the tanks. By the time he reached them, death was near. He fell to his knees next to the tanks and had just enough strength and life left to enter two more digits before he died, his index finger resting lightly on the final zero. In less that thirty minutes, he would rise from the dead without having released the anti-virus.
Fortunately, a large male duck came over to check things out. He looked around at things, hoping the human had brought some bread to feed the pond dwellers with. Seeing no bread, he was about to leave when he noticed the white necrotic tissue on the humans otherwise very dark brown index finger. Thinking this might be a worm or other food source, the duck gave it a good hard peck. The final digit was entered and the safety device let out the 10 second warning, which caused the duck to fly off into the safety of the pond.
The anti-virus was released just as the wind picked up. It spread across an area of over 2,000 square miles and killed an estimated 7,000 zombies. Even better, the anti-virus was now being carried by birds and humans, so it spread even wider over the next few days. Once the CDC reached the university lab, they found the formula and released hundreds of anti-virus clouds worldwide. The zombie apocalypse had been averted!
The duck lived a good long life and fathered many babies. Nobody ever knew that it was he who had saved the human race.

I was 8 months pregnant with my second and impatiently standing in line at a local store because my 2-year-old was melting down and I was exhausted. That's when all of the sudden I sneezed so hard that I felt a small warm trickle down my leg and my pelvic floor caved under pressure.
Sheer horror overtook me. Would anyone notice? Should I hop out of line and go snag another pair of pants? Did I have anything stashed away in the car?
I waddled out of line with my toddler and went to grab a package of underwear and a skirt hoping that no one would notice or ask questions… or heaven forbid… accuse me of stealing as I swapped out my shame in the dressing room.
Jenn and I squeezed into the tiny fitting room and as I went to change, I sneezed again. This time instead of a small trickle, a gush happened.
It was so forceful that I legitimately thought my water broke as I stood in a puddle of my own urine inside of a department store dressing room. After changing, paying, and explaining what happened with bright red cheeks of embarrassment to a store employee, I rushed home from the singular most traumatizing moment in my adult life.
And I thought the troubles would subside after delivery.
But now after three babies, it hasn't. And the fear of bladder leakage in public is so strong, my van has been stocked with extra undies and a pair of pants ever since. Because postpartum life is messy, ugly, and unpredictable.
Why stress incontinence happens in postpartum women
Nine long months of carrying a baby does wonders to the body. Place a head on the pelvic floor muscles coupled with a kick to the bladder, and you might just experience what it's like to pee your pants as an adult.
Have more than one kiddo and you're bound to know what it's like to have a loss of bladder control even after having a baby.
The reason it happens in pregnancy is a mixture of hormones relaxing the ligaments and muscles as well as pressure from the uterus and baby. Unfortunately, that doesn't just all bounce back after baby and requires some training and exercising.
"In France, all postpartum moms get pelvic floor physical therapy after delivery," explains Dr. Heather Bartos, OB/GYN. That's just really not the case in the United States, meaning many women have to go about finding the cure for that sneaky leak on their own.
[color-box] Check out the postpartum gift basket for your new mom friends.[/color-box]
Why focus on the pelvic floor to beat the leak?
"The pelvic floor is comprised of the muscles that form a figure eight from the pubic bone to the tailbone," pelvic floor expert and postnatal fitness educator, Tori Levine says. Therefore, doing a Kegel, also known as pelvic floor contractions, strengthens the pelvic floor, activates the muscles, and draws blood circulation to the area to help heal any tearing or episiotomy damage even you performed perineal massage prior to birth.
Boiled down, it means that if you strengthen your pelvic floor you can have better bladder control.
How to do kegel exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor after birth
First and foremost when doing Kegels is remembering to do them. Second is doing them correctly.
As the mom of 12 kids, Varda Epstein said she put up purple K stickers all over her house to remind her to work on her Kegels. So whether it's a visual cue or you make it a habit to do at the same time every day, that's the first step.
But how do you actually do a Kegel correctly?
I know I struggle with this. In fact, I hate Kegels, but it's one of the most popular pelvic floor exercises.
It's pretty self-explanatory and involves both clenching and relaxing (yes both) of that figure 8-shaped muscle. Front and back Kegels utilize the muscles used to stop the flow of urine or gas.
But that's the problem, right? Stopping the leak?
So target those muscles and learn to both contract and slowly release. And then do them both in correlation with and even during the following training exercises.
5+ Simple, but effective pelvic floor exercises
Unlike my public faux pas, working on strengthening the levator ani muscle that supports the bladder can be done in the privacy of your own home without embarrassment.
Once you're given the all clear to exercise, typically around 6 weeks, it's time to work on training the pelvic floor daily, just like staying active keeps you healthy. You can work to restore the area and use exercises for long-term strengthening.
Squatting stretches the pelvic floor into the correct position. In fact, implementing a stool for your feet while using the bathroom is a great practice because of how it aligns to organs and muscles in the pelvis.
Alex Samet, Registered Yoga Teacher, recommends doing this pose because "lengthens the pelvic floor, allows it to contract, helps control the bladder and resists the urge to urinate."[color-box]
How to do Malansana
- Place your feet wider than your shoulders with your feet pointing out and away from the body.
- Place your hands together at your chest to with elbows near the inner thigh
- Keep your tailbone tucked and breath deeply in and out.
- Feel the way the pelvic floor is pulled
Reclining Bound Angle Stretch
Samet also recommends this yoga pose for postpartum women because "You are stretching your inner thighs which helps to stabilize your pelvic floor."
How to do the Badakanasa pose
- Sit with your legs straight in front of you.
- Raise your pelvis with a block or a blanket if your hips are tight.
- Bring your heels in close to the pelvis and hold feet with hands
- Make sure the pubic bone and tailbone are equidistant from the floor. The perineum then will be approximately parallel to the floor and the pelvis in a neutral position.
- Pull your body towards the floor, but don't force knees down.
A modification to this would to go the opposite direction and to place an exercise ball against and wall for back support to do something similar to the picture below.
Jumping Jack
While I completely understand that may be the last thing you want to do if your nether-region is suffering, but the reality is you can engage those muscles as you jump and release as you bring your legs back together. It's a great way to get in more vigorous exercises beyond stretching.
Bridge Pose/Rolls
The benefits of doing the Bandhasana pose is that it strengthens the back of the pelvic floor, including the coccygeus muscle. If you're going to work on the front, you'll also need to work out the back and is is one way to do it!
Plus, if you got sciatica in pregnancy, this could be the ticket to helping alleviate that pain.
Calli De La Haye, yoga instructor & new mom explains how to do it:
- Lay on your back and place the feet on the floor at hip width apart, draw the feet close to the body
- Press into the feet and lift the back off the floor, at the same time lift the arms up and above the head
- Slowly roll the back down onto the mat, press the lower back into the mat, lift only the bottom and tilt the pelvis by drawing the pubic bone towards you
- Repeat four times
Child's Pose
Implementing this exercise will ease the low back and allow the pelvic floor to stretch and expand, making this a great prenatal exercise as well as postpartum recovery exercise.
How to do Balasana:
- Position yourself on the floor on your hands and knees.
- Allow your big toes to touch while spreading the legs and knees to be approximately hip width
- Sit up on your heels.
- Exhale and lay your torso down between your thighs with your arms extended and forehead on the mat.
Sit on an exercise ball
Using the right size exercise ball as a chair will help train you to sit correctly and aligns your pelvis into the right position. Ultimately it keeps your back straight and pelvis aligned to help engage all of the muscles weakened by pregnancy. You can also do "wall sits" with your exercise ball.

Where: Zub's, 684 N Freedom Blvd, Provo
Who Went: Chelsey & Owen
Number of Visits: 2 (.5)
What We Ordered: New York Sandwich, Greek Pizza, Apple Pie Pizza
What It Cost: $13.99 (for two entrees)
What We Thought:
FRESH BREAD. One of the best smells in the world, isn't it? Zub's, which started out in Springville, has decided to open another location in Provo in what I sometimes refer to as the "doomsday stretch" of restaurants along Freedom Blvd (I swear restaurants are in and out of there ALL the time). They've taken over Shirley's Bakery, but still bake up something delicious -- fresh bread and pizza dough from scratch that is seriously divine.
The original Zub's location in Springville is a take-out only, with no restaurant seating. They kind of did the opposite here at the Provo location - it almost feels like there is too much seating, especially when they aren't very busy. It can feel a little awkward. But honestly, I am a little surprised that this place isn't more busy yet....
We first ordered the New Yorker sandwich, and immediately, the bread to meat ratio made me scratch my head. It sure looked like a lot of bread for a puny amount of filling. But when you bite into that ultra fluffy bread with a slightly crisp exterior, you get it. At Zub's, they do subs right. I had my doubts, but when I stole a couple of bites from Owen's reuben-esque sandwich, I found I couldn't stop myself. And I don't even like reubens! But the bread is just sooooo good, and the fillings are fresh and flavorful, and really, this may be one of the best sandwiches I've ever had!
Next, my Greek pizza. Same story here. Ultra delicious, homemade crust that is wayyy better than any homemade I've ever made...Fresh, light toppings full of flavor and deliciousness. The pizza was a good size for one person - I ate three pieces and felt pretty full, and you know I always love taking one home for lunch the next day :) When I saw that the Springville location was so highly rated on Urbanspoon, I was a little confused about what could be so great about pizza and subs. But this place really does live up to the hype, my friends.
NOW - my only problem. When I was reading the menu and reviews for the Springville site, my heart skipped a beat when I read about the apple pie pizza (pictured above). Owen is an apple pie fanatic, and I am always a sucker for a dessert pizza, so I knew we HAD to try it. But guess what? They only have it at the Springville site!! I was SO MAD! We obviously went to the Springville store and ordered one to go, so I could see if it was truly worth making a big deal of, and um yeah. It is. This apple pie pizza is seriously scrumptious. And I don't get why they don't make it at the Provo store?!
What You Should Do: My only reservation from giving this the full-fledged four-star review is that dang apple pie pizza. Add it the Provo menu, and I'm all-in. But nonetheless, Zub's proved to be a great little spot with killer sub sandwiches and pizzas. We tried the taco pizza and turkey/avocado sub on another trip, and they were equally delicious!

Cape Cod - Falmouth
(East Falmouth, MA)
Maria Luskay
Mellini Family
My wife and I have been members for 3 years and have made extensive use of the Cape Cod locations in Chatham and East and West Dennis. Our experience has been wonderful. New, clean boats, regular availability, quality training have all enriched our participation. The flexibility of multiple locations allows us to adjust to weather conditions, activities (fishing or just cruising) without trailering or long, time consuming cruises. Allowing our children to participate as family members is an added benefit and living in Chicago for part of the year has enabled us to cruise Lake Michigan through the reciprocal program. And when are day of fun is over...we are met at the dock by smiling Dock people who take over and gas up and clean the boat. The biggest surprise has been dock people. Having been a senior executive for a large national corporation focused on consumer satisfaction, I am completely impressed with the people working Freedom's locations. Friendly, helpful and courteous are but a few words that describe them. From helping with navigation, fishing tips to carrying things to and from the car they are one of the strongest components of the club.
Ronni Brody
Our experience has been far beyond what we expected. We have never had a problem reserving a boat. We have even used the reciprocal reservation system and that has been a non-issue. We have gone to several Freedom boat locations. The people working at the docks are the finest group of people I've encountered in a while. They are all so helpful. They make everything simple. We have never owned or operated a boat prior to freedom boat and it's been an easy transition.
Russ Landry
I had never navigated a boat in the past. What kind of training? What style of boats? Would I have issues booking a boat? Was there only a few to rent? My experience has been very positive. The training was very good. The boats used by Freedom were also good, it was nice to know you could reserve the boat you like to use. The marinas locations are great. Most locations we used in MA were easy to launch and dock to. The Marina staff at every location very helpful! You'd be surprised how user friendly the boat club can be. I was pleased with the decision to join. Being a newer member I'd be happy to answer any questions a perspective member might have.
Walter Geary
At first, I was worried boats wouldn't be available, but it never happened. We've had total enjoyment! No worries, or problems with the boats unlike owning your own. No constant work and expense with your own boat. Just enjoy the trip with all the fun. The boats were always available, clean and ready to go. The dock teams were terrific. After 40 years of boating, I made a great decision going to Freedom Boat Club!!

Real Time, wearable – here and now computing courtesy Google Glasses
Real Time, wearable computing, here and now data elements – Google Glass is more than just a smart pair of glasses with an integrated heads-up display and a battery hidden inside the frame. Like Apple's Siri, it's technology with enormous potential. The idea is to deliver augmented reality, with information that's directly relevant to your surroundings appearing in front of you whenever you need it. Google's business is about making money from advertising, and glass marks the transition from screen to reality with the information layer literally juxtaposed. Many might worry that Google Glass is its attempt to monetize eyeballs quite literally, by blasting ads whenever the user look's at something. While the initial videos and demos revolve n the photos aspect of the Glasses, the ability to monetize LAYAR through the Glasses is Google's next billion $ gambit.
Even while wearable computing is not a new idea, but Google's enormous bank account and can-do attitude means that Project Glass could well be the first product to do significant numbers.
Uncannily common in ad delivery, Glasses is not to be confused by Google Goggles which is an app that can search the web based on photos and scans. Google Glass is hardware doing much the same but on a more integrated scale. Google's Project Glass glasses will use a transparent LCD or AMOLED display to put information in front of the user. It uses a camera and GPS for location sensing, and uses head movements for movements such as scroll and click on information, something that is apparently quite easy to master. Google Glasses will also use voice input and output. Glass will run Android, will include a small screen in front of the eye of the user and will have motion sensors, GPS and either 3G or 4G data connections. Glass is designed to be a stand-alone device rather than an Android phone peripheral. It should connect to a smartphone via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth 4.0. It communicates directly with the cloud. There is also a front-facing camera and a flash, although it's not a multi-megapixel monster, and the most recent prototype's screen isn't transparent.
Currently in a prototype stage, Google Glasses which is expected to be commercially launched in 2014, has key challenges- making a screen that works in darkness and in bright sunlight is tough – and mobile display technology doesn't offer dynamic focusing, which reads the eye to deliver perfectly clear visuals. Current wearable displays have to be two feet away from your face, heads-up displays can be distracting, and there may be safety issues too. There are privacy implications too. Never mind your web history: Google Glass might record everything that the user is seeing and doing. Also there is this usability issue- Glasses will possibly not be useful in the rain (yet!)
It is expected that the Glasses are expected to cost around the price of current smartphones. Rumour indicate that Glasses may even end up in contact lenses and Google has in works a contact lens with embedded electronics.
