Healthy Swellness: Living In-Sync
September 6, 2016
You know when you're in a good groove and everything is coming together nicely in life and you're getting things done? That's all the time, right? Ah, if only it were that simple.
When you #LiveInSync and have your life in alignment, that's when you can push yourself to reach for…well, greatness. Now, I know that sounds dramatic, but by greatness I mean trying to achieve your full potential, and that's always changing as you grow as a person. It may mean completing a race you've always wanted to do or going for that lofty promotion, for example, or taking the plunge and moving to that city you've been dreaming of. Reaching for greatness means striving for those goals that can sometimes seem so daunting you don't even share them with anyone, or goals you're afraid you can't accomplish…but living in-sync is what can help get you there.
Living in-sync is a constant juggling act because there's an endless number of things being thrown your way that force you to readjust. Lately, for me, having to travel regularly has been forcing me to recalculate my route. It throws my schedule off, and this can make life very chaotic. Two months ago, it was back pain I had to contend with. A while before that, a strained friendship. Life is always throwing things at you, and how well you manage these challenges is determined by the degree to which you're in tune with yourself.
I'm always working to be as in-sync as I can be, because the payoff—that feeling of being at one with myself and capable of reaching my goals—is worth it.
How do I #LiveInSync? To start, I exercise regularly (and to commit to that, I put it into my calendar and register for events so I commit to training). Without exercise, I feel sluggish and not as sharp. I can't say I love working out (it's usually more of a love/hate type of relationship with most sports). But I recognize we are nothing without our health. I'm grateful to have never had any serious health issues, but with friends and loved ones who've been affected by health concerns and disease, you realize being healthy is everything.
With fitness, there's also the reward of seeing what I'm capable of accomplishing; I'm the girl who could barely run one-minute intervals not that long ago, and have now completed nine marathons (and, in one case, was less than two minutes away from qualifying for Boston). That type of accomplishment can make you feel like you're capable of anything and that confidence affects how you approach life. For example, I may not have swum any sort of distance since I was little, nor do I bike other than for leisure, but I recently decided to do a tri. Consider, too, it's not long ago that I never would've even considered driving in a city I do not know, but I did that for a week this spring. I believe my accomplishments in running have helped me be more fearless with these other pursuits.
Being in-sync involves more than just fitness, of course. Following a healthy diet fuels you to be your best. And so I put effort into making sure I get more veggies in my meals (that's where I can falter) and while I will indulge in dessert or a cocktail, it's definitely as an occasional treat (it's all about that 80/20 rule; that ratio works). Except for maybe when it comes to French fries. Those are my weakness and I can't stop eating them. We all have our vices!
Being in-sync calls for getting enough rest, too. Getting enough sleep helps me function better for work and play. Besides rest, though, decompressing mentally helps keep me clearheaded. And although I don't meditate or practice yoga regularly, I need quiet time to just be with my thoughts, so I fit it into my daily life in my own way. Often it has to be when I'm running (it can be hard to find a window of free time otherwise), or I use the time I spend walking around the city to work things through in my head. When I'm traveling, and there's the chance to enjoy a great sunset or sunrise view, I do what I can to schedule my day around dusk or dawn so I can use that quiet half hour or so to just be.
I think of life as an intricate net. And when you live in-sync, that net is flexible and resilient — it's nurtured and strengthened by the things you do to help you stay on track. So when something is thrown into it, your net handles it with ease. When not in-sync, it's as though that net is being pulled and stressed in many directions; the cords are taut, straining and weakening, in danger of snapping. So, to be your best self, you need to maintain that net regularly. Sync it up, ladies!
(Now, who else has an N*SYNC song stuck in their heads??)
Being InSync is that special state when body and mind are aligned, we are in touch with our core, and we are driven from within to achieve our full potential. The positivity that radiates from being InSync will benefit all aspects of a person's life — at work, in personal relationships and in the all-important relationship with oneself.

|Mary, Wendell and Tanya Berry
Wendell Berry and his wife Tanya gave the New Pioneers Trailblazer Award to their daughter, Mary Berry, of New Castle, Ky. Mary Berry directs The Berry Center, which was created to continue the Berry family's work in culture and agriculture, which goes back nearly a century. The center's Berry Farm Program is based at St. Catharine College, near Springfield, where the awards ceremony was held.
Fenton Johnson, a native of southern Nelson County, presented the New Pioneers Green Living Award to his sister and brother-in-law, Martha and Arthur Young, grass-feed cattle farmers in adjoining Washington County, of which Springfield is the county seat. Johnson said the Youngs evolved from conventional to sustainable agriculture through "self-education, conversion and humility."

New Pioneers for a Sustainable Future was founded by Claire McGowan, a Dominican nun at the St. Catharine Motherhouse, to promote sustainable thinking and sustainable development in rural Central Kentucky. It has spearheaded establishment of a curbside recycling program, helped organize a farmers' market and holds regular forums on health, environmental and sustainability issues. It was very active in fighting the now-suspended Bluegrass Pipeline project, which would have carried natural-gas liquids through Kentucky and Ohio.

This holds true for handicapped people who want to ride the Metro. Obviously there have been amusingly infuriating instances in the past. But I needed a drink after reading this story, part three in the Post's four-part WMATA ass-kicking.
For Scott Hobbs, who has a nerve disorder, a more reliable system could have made all the difference.Oh man... so sad.
Hobbs, 37, loved his job as a campus chaplain at Gallaudet University in Northeast Washington. "I am a minister. It is my calling," he said. But his disorder left him unable to walk in 1999, and he had to rely on MetroAccess to get to work. His ride was late so often, he was forced to quit in 2003, said Hobbs, who is a plaintiff in the suit against Metro.
The worst part was waiting for his ride home from the university, which could be hours late or not come at all, Hobbs said. Because he is also deaf, he would have to wheel himself back into his office and contact his wife, who would call to inquire about his tardy ride. "I would start praying that I would get home somehow," he said.
You've got to really be the suck to rip-off a blind person. Who DOES THAT? Oh, well, we do it here, of course.
This is such a bizarre community we've created for ourselves. There's a thick layer of apathy over the entire city that's impossible to break through. Trying to get people to care about their jobs or about other people is like... well, slagging through a swamp filled with tsetse flies. Even the people who are supposed to be watching out for abuses like this don't care:
LogistiCare's contract with Metro contained a loophole: When drivers failed to show up, the trips weren't recorded as late and didn't count against the company when performance bonuses were awarded. Although Metro could have regularly spot-checked LogistiCare's numbers, agency officials said they failed to do so.Of course. And now, on top of failing to take steps to curb the abuses, Metro faces a lawsuit from its handicapped customers for being unreliable, which will result in further financial damage. Which we, hooray, get to pay for.
I wish people would care about things. It doesn't even have to be all the time; just on occasion, to surprise me once in a while.

I think it amounts to a Constitutional Deprivation against the media and against the children who are getting screwed because they have lost a measure of their
First Amendment Rights to discuss these matters publicly.
And with 530 views... here are some of the South African documents.
I will be damned if I take any shit from anyone on this, because I won't.
And the Court needs to stop shitting on Daralyn Khan as well,
a Day of Reckoning is going to come.
And it's going to come on the end of my Canon 60D.Dear Spotify CEO Daniel Ek: Spotify is cool. Adam Klein is not, so whatever local folks he is consulting with (read this Business Insider story) to make a run at you are scum for working with a guy like this, a complete douchebag, IMO. His baby's momma and his own daughter called him the "scum of the Earth" and a "deadbeat Dad" in the ongoing travesty of Justice in the Cambridge Courts. South Africa and I call him an International Felon for embezzlement, and I will soon be at the Provost Office at Columbia to ask.....
why they continue to employ someone with his background as an adjunct journo professor when there are plenty of other responsible corporate directors they could have used. And don't even try to have me arrested folks, I get my one question, you get to ask me to leave and I leave, with my footage, that's how that goes so don't try any bullshit or I will sue you. I've had relatives work in the music industry and to me, how this guy is on the NARM Board of Directors is beyond me. As to eMusic I guess they want him to run their business right into the ground as he has apparently done with many others, some of whom posted their separation agreements with this turd, linked below.
Enjoy the reads, if you want I can start shooting a commercial spot with my new Canon 60D, it renders exemplary video and great audio with the Rhode SVM, and I am now learning Final Cut Pro to replace iMovie..... it will be hootlarious!
Newbies start here and here and be sure to read the KingCast Open Letter to Columbia Provost Steele with eMusic CEO Adam Klein's South African rap sheet. Found it again, I was just looking too fast... the tweet from Adam Klein's daughter... the daughter K_____ with whom he has spent face to face time approximately twice in her life 21 years on this Planet. Fascinating.
Here's the back story about Adam Klein one of Lee Levine & Bowser's more illustrious clients, a man who has overcome the extreme adversity of a having a Felony Conviction on his record to head up countless top-notch communications and entertainment companies including VideoEgg, Muze, Ask Jeeves (24 July 2000 Employment Contract and 28 March 2001 Separation Agreement with a Cambridge, Mass address), Hasbro and 23 March, 1999 Separation Agreement same address), and now eMusic (no Separation Agreement yet, ahem) with an adjunct position at Columbia's J-School, which may be prompting Time Magazine to consider him Man of the Year. I would support that development because it would undoubtedly lead to increased income, and that could then flow to his daughter in a bitterly-contested child support case. Not to mention the cost of keeping up those $11M digs at 15 Central Park West. Speaking of income, I have heard many months and years ago that he has never produced any meaningful financial statements...... and got away with it thanks to Judges like Spencer M. Kagan, who wants me to remove his name from my journal (read the jump page), sorry Judge no haps until Klein's daughter gets Justice. That's how it's going to be and I'll tell you just like that.

Firstly my apologies as this is somewhat long winded!
I have an Aqua One (350 litre) aquarium up and running since last November stocked with haps/peacocks. Please note that I purchased the aquarium with lights a good while earlier and has been stocked away in good dry/warm conditions. Anyhow both sets of my 2 x 54w T5 anubias light tubes (1149mm) have stopped working (4 in total) - barely used. Each 2 x 54w set of tubes has its own plug so working off 2 plugs in total.
Anyhow I turned the lights on to feed the other night and one set of 2 worked and the other set of 2 didn't, then both stopped working when I checked the switch to turn back on. A little while later one set of the lights started worked again (so seemingly a connection issue as why would it start up again after it stopped working?). Anyhow, all lighting has since stopped so I have no lighting whatsoever. I changed the plug fuses and ensured that all 4 tubes were not loose and tightly connected and that the black wire disappearing into each of the lighting units was switched tight.
I have had brand new since November and I only switch on the aquarium lights for 10 minutes in a morning and 10 minutes on an evening when feeding and maybe just for half an hour once or twice a week tops, so they have been barely used - almost new. Unfortunately the lighting definetly does not come under my aqua one guarantee.
I don't really know what to do at this juncture as a new lighting system will apparently cost me well over £100. If I can help it, I don't want to go to the expense of buying new tubes only for them not to work and not fit in a possible new lighting system that I may have no option, but to purchase.
Do you have any possible suggestions? Once unplugged I am happy to check if there is a replacement part possibly needed, but in truth I don't know what I am looking for. I have heard of a ballast may/not need replacing when looking for information, but don't know if it would apply in this case.
Many thanks in advance.

The Effects of Substance Abuse on Adolescent Development
Teenagers often feel indestructible, believe that nothing can happen to them and are willing to take certain risks. Some teens are also curious about drugs and alcohol. However, if they become involved with illicit substances, they are playing with fire. MayoClinic.com advises that teens who experiment are putting their health and safety at risk. Teens are more likely to use drugs if there is a history of substance abuse in their family, if they are depressed or impulsive, have experienced a trauma, have low self-esteem, do poorly in school or hang out with people who abuse drugs.
Brain Development
The teenage brain is still developing, and if teens consume drugs or alcohol, they risk causing permanent intellectual and emotional damage, according to the Science and Management of Addictions Foundation. Alcohol consumed during early adolescence can disrupt endocrine development, which regulates mood and reproductive processes. Teens who smoke marijuana performed worse on learning tests and their memory was affected, according to a January 2009 study published in Clinical EEG and Neuroscience. Stanton Glantz, director of the University of California at San Francisco's Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education, told ABC News that psychoactive substances are "messing with the brain as it's developing."
More Sexually Active
The poor choices teens make while under the influence of illicit substances can affect their social development 3. For example, teenagers often engage in sexual activities after taking drugs or drinking alcohol, according to Campaign For Our Children. They might be less inclined to use contraception while they are under the influence. Campaign For Our Children reports that teens who smoke marijuana, for example, are four times more likely to have been pregnant or to have gotten someone pregnant.
Accident Risk
Teenagers don't have a lot of experience driving, so their risk of having an accident is greater than more experienced drivers. Auto accidents were the leading cause of death for teens between 15 and 19 in 2007, according to WhiteHouse.gov. Add substance abuse to driving inexperience, and the risk of having an auto accident increases.
Risk of Addiction
One out of four people who starts using drugs or alcohol as a teenager becomes addicted, according to the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse, reported ABC News. Teens don't have positive life prospects if they become addicted. Because the brain is still developing during adolescence, it is more sensitive to substances, which increases the risk of addiction, according to ABC News.
Arrested Development
When teens start using drugs or drinking alcohol during the developmental years, their social and emotional development stops, according to the University of Houston, Clear Lake. So a person who started taking drugs at age 14 stays at the social and emotional age of 14. This can manifest by continued risky behavior, poor judgment and not being able to adequately understand the consequences of actions.

Fabric waterproof rating
The standard test for waterproof fabrics uses a standing column filled with water. The figures given are the water column height. A rating of 3,500mm or higher can be considered waterproof. The higher the rating, the more durable the waterproof fabric will be over time.
Waterproof garments use waterproof-breathable technologies and are fully seam-taped. Water-resistant garments use waterproof-breathable technologies but their seams are not taped. Water-resistant garments repel water and protect against wind but are not made of waterproof fabric.
|Waterproof with fully taped seams
Fabric active breathability
The rate at which a waterproof breathable fabric expels moisture when the inner surface is moist from perspiration. Values under 8,000g/m2/24h provide low performance, 20,000g/m2/24h provide moderate performance and values over 30,000g/m2/24h provide high performance.
A windproof garment does not allow any air to permeate the fabric. A garment with windproof panels has panels of fabric that are totally windproof, but the rest of the garment may not be windproof. A wind-resistant garment resists some wind, but not as much as a garment that is windproof.
Durable water repellency
Usually referred to as DWR. A treatment made to fabrics that causes water to bead and run off instead of soaking through.

Dogs aren't typically fussy eaters, but when their appetite expands to include nonfood items such as wood and paper, it can be a serious problem. If your dog's weird eating habits aren't due to an underlying medical issue, you can cure this problem at home.
The desire to eat and digest nonfood items, calld pica, can have several possible explanations, so observe his behavior and eating habits to determine the most likely. Medical problems that affect digestion can cause your pooch to crave food even when he's well fed. The eating of wood and paper may be an obsessive habit he has developed in response to anxiety or boredom, or to relieve teething pain. It's essential to distinguish between a genuine attempt to eat and digest the wood and paper, and simple idle chewing or destructive behavior. The former is pica, the latter is not; they require different methods of correction.
Accidental Encouragement
If in the past you've rushed to your dog and made a big fuss when he's tried to eat paper or wood, you may have inadvertently started a chain of events that has caused him to want to perform this behavior. Your dog may have figured that when he eats paper or wood he gets attention, and decided to do this when he feels neglected.
Tooth and gum injury, mouth splinters, digestive tract blockages, bowel obstruction and perforated intestines are just some of the physical risks associated with the eating of wood and paper.
Once your vet has confirmed that the pica behavior is not the result of a medical condition, you must restrict his access to wood and paper. Empty trash cans regularly, leash him while in the yard and don't leave magazines, sticks, books or waste paper lying about the house.
Encourage your dog to chew appropriate items, such as rubber toys. Give him plenty of exercise and mental stimulation, this will often be enough to relieve boredom and if boredom is the main cause of pica, it will solve the problem. For more obsessive eaters of paper and wood, put the dog on a leash and walk him toward a forbidden item that you've placed down. If he goes for it, use the leash to restrain him and correct him verbally. With sufficient repetition, he'll learn that attempting to eat wood and paper has a negative outcome.

text: Homepage chevron_rightBlogchevron_right Post Our Northwest Studded tires must be off by March 31 Monday, March 21, 2016by Jon Osterberg Motorists, remember: studded tires must be removed next week, no later than March 31, in Washington and Oregon. That's barring any last-minute extension, which sometimes happens when late-season winter storms arrive. Drivers who continue to drive with studded tires beyond the deadline risk a $124 fine in Washington and up to $200 south of the Columbia. Last winter was so warm and dry, studs were a moot point. This winter has seen much more snowfall – thankfully so, for crops and crisp lawns. The Department of Agriculture reported on March 20 that most of Washington has above-average snowpack, with Spirit Lake and Sentinel Butte at more than 200% of normal. Oregon appears to be a bit drier with watersheds near Santiam Junction and Ukiah below normal, but ample moisture has collected in the south Cascades. The extended forecast for the Washington and Oregon Cascades calls for daytime temperatures above freezing over the next 10 days, with highs on March 31 ranging from the upper 40s to the low 50s.

Fort Myers Fishing Report 8-14-14
The full moon this week has been great for fishing. Whenever fishing around a full moon it can be tricky to get a bite because the moon is so bright the fish tend to eat better throughout the night and relax during the day. Then again its not always true, the fish ultimately are going to do what they want and that was good for us! The tides were high in the late afternoon this week, they were also abnormally high because of the strong full moon. When this happens its important to remember that you will probably have to get to your high water fishing spots earlier than anticipated. Once the water gets extremely far back in to the bushes it's almost impossible to get a bait to them. Usually i say last hour and a half or so of the incoming tide is best, but when the tides are this strong i say last two and a half hours, just before the water starts touching the trees. On the outgoing tides fish grass flats and adjacent deep edges. Anglers who follow this will be rewarded with Snook, Reds, Jacks and more. Everything has been eating well recently so there is no shortage of fish species being caught. Pinfish and pilchards are working well, although as always i prefer Pilchards ten to one. You can find the pinfish on the flats by chumming, when using the pinfish try both with a cork and without to see what they like that particular day. Pilchards are sporadically on the beaches and when using them just put them on a 2/0 circle hook through the nose with no weight or cork.

"Fragments" captures the essence of those parts of our lives that we not proud to show to others. It takes you through a range of emotions and leaves a big question mark on what is supposed to be.
I have mixed emotions regarding these short stories. Some of them etched in my mind making me think about them even after closing the book. The Homecoming and The Other Women In my Life are like Oh my god moments. The pathos and the pain in them made my skin crawl. While stories like Stree, Naked made me cry out for more. Ms. Nagaraj has a very strong connection with human emotions. She can bring out those emotions which most of us will overlook. I feel cheated as a reader that she wrote an anthology for I want more the stories. The story Stree has such a strong woman protagonist that it can create a full novel. I am looking forward to reading more from Ms. Nagaraj.
Review by Geeta Nair:
A motley collection of short stories that bring out the various facets of life and human emotions, 'Fragments' touches hearts and tickles the brain. Each story is a surprise and showcases the creative side of the storyteller beautifully.

I love lists. And pens. And washi tape. I also love paper planners as opposed to using the iCal app. So I thought I had found the perfect planner, but it disappointed me. I then turned to Pinterest to search for the free PDF downloads that would surely be the solution to my organising needs. I quickly became disheartened at the thought of trawling for hours through printables that would be fun and colourful, but not necessarily suited to my style of list making.
Then I remembered a graph book I got from Office Works and decided to draft my own planner pages for this week. My plan for my planner is this: I will hand draw each week, using what I liked from the previous week, and tweaking or removing what isn't so useful.
There is truly something therapeutic about using colourful pens. You should try it if you haven't in a while.
This week I have included: Finances for the week at a glance, School stuff, Menu Plan, Dream cloud for ideas and inspo, and my take on the 'To Do' list – the 'Ta Da!' List, which is much more exciting. Because when I get to tick something off, I will be all like, "Ta da! Look at what I did today! How clever am I?!"
I best stop planning my planner page, and get planning my week. Well, what is left of it.

Koi ponds are all the rage for homeowners these days. There is nothing like relaxing at the waters edge while feeding a writhing school of koi or goldfish as they fight for every last scrap of Purina fish chow. It kind of makes you feel like a benevolent despot with your own little fiefdom of fishy peasants. But lets be honest, this is the kind of landscaping project that often winds up with a pond full of dead fish. How can you keep your swimming serfs in good health?
Sunny areas are also necessary. You need to strike a good balance between the two. When you are planning your pond, mark out the area. Watch how the shadows and light move across it over the course of a day. This will help you figure out where to place your pond shade structures and plants for maximum effect.

I have installed Apache 2.2.22 on Ubuntu 12.04. But in browser when I type localhost, it gives index.pl file to download instead of executing it.
What I tried:
1. chmod 755 index.pl
2. Adding line DirectoryIndex index.pl index.html to etc/apache2/site-available/example.com, which finally looks like below.
I have done these things before on Windows machine. But the directory structure is different in Windows and Ubuntu. Httpd.conf file is blank in Ubuntu. And while searching through directories I found no. of files similar to configuration file. So I am confused where exactly I have to make configuration changes.

As the piglet's gastro-intestinal tract has not yet fully developed, it is vitally important to supply the right energy sources which are easy digestible for young piglets. Tecnolat provides lactose and highly digestible protein, which are essential nutrients for the young piglet. Moreover, Tecnolat contains high energy fat with growth enhancing properties. Added nutritional emulsifiers and the small particle size improve fat digestibility to compensate for the piglet's immature digestive system.
Feed intake is key in a young piglet's life. Tecnolat contains Dulce, a unique taste enhancer that boosts feed intake.
Tecnolat is an economic and convenient product of choice for piglet nutrition, with a high energy content and superior protein digestibility.
Tecnolat has been developed to be included in preweaning and post-weaning diets up to 25 kg body weight. Adding Tecnolat to the feed formula makes the complete feed highly palatable thanks to Dulce. We recommend including 15% Tecnolat in creep, 15% in weaner and 10% in starter feed. Using Tecnolat as advised will generally cover the lactose requirement for piglets.

You have questions, we got answers
3D Virtual Tours
Beautifully Crafted
A traditional virtual tour isn't really virtual. It's just a gallery of stationary panoramic photos. Although techniques vary, most traditional tours don't allow the viewer to move around within the space. At the very most, traditional tours offer 10-15 individual locations to view the space. Traditional photographers use DSLR cameras to capture multiple photos which are then stitched together to form a panorama which is viewed from a player.
Our 3D virtual tours allow the viewer to explore the space in up to 200 locations that are seamlessly stitched together. We use high tech 3D cameras which have 12 cameras and sensors to not only capture photos but to create a polygon mesh. This mesh is rendered into a dynamic 3D model which can be explored online or even with a virtual reality headset such as an Oculus Rift or Samsung Gear VR.
We call our 3D virtual tour a 3D Showcase because it also includes the "Floor Plan View" and the "Dollhouse View" to allow the viewer to conceptualize the space. We like to think of it as a virtual tour on steroids!
On average, it takes about 45-60 minutes to scan 1,000 sq. ft., so a typical 2,000 sq. ft. home can be scanned in about 90 – 120 minutes.
For residential properties, approximately 10,000 sq. ft. is the maximum. The exact square footage will vary depending on the layout of the property and furniture.
For other spaces, this can be up to 15,000 sq. ft. depending on layout and specific details of the space. Please contact me for spaces exceeding 15,000 sq. ft. to determine if they are feasible.
Because the 3D camera uses HDR (high dynamic range) photography to balance dark and light areas of an image, no special lighting or lighting equipment is required. However, direct sunlight can interfere with data collection from the sensor, so we suggest avoiding direct sunlight when possible.
Our 3D Camera is designed for indoor use. Direct sunlight can interfere with data collection. However, scanning external spaces such as gardens and patios when there is no direct sunlight (such as at dawn or dusk) is possible.
Yes. These photos are in JPG format at 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution. Photos will also be taken with a DSLR camera during the appointment.
No, the 3D Showcase captures the property as-is with no editing available. The 3D Showcase does create an .obj file that can be downloaded and provided free of charge to be used within CAD software.
Submit an inquiry online, call, or email me.

Our Technology
On the Cutting Edge
Our 3D Showcases use WebGL, the modern standard for 3D content on the web. On desktop computers, WebGL is supported by the latest version of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer. On mobile devices, WebGL is supported by Safari for iOS 8 and Chrome for Android.
Instructions to enable WebGL within Firefox –
- Type about:config in Firefox's address bar and make the following changes:
- To enable WebGL, set webgl.force-enabled to true.
Safari for Mac –
- Launch Safari, located at /Applications/Safari.
- Open Safari's Preferences by selecting 'Safari, Preferences' from the menu.
- Click the 'Advanced' tab labeled.
- Place a check mark next to 'Show Develop menu in menu bar.'
- Select 'Develop, Enable WebGL' from menu
To confirm that your browser supports WebGL, visit this webpage: https://get.webgl.org/
Embedding a model is very straightforward; it's similar to embedding a YouTube video. Please contact your website administrator for assistance as Showcase 3D does not provide assistance for this, we only provide the embed code.
I can provide an industry-standard OBJ file free of charge, which will contain both the 3D mesh and textures.

Online Services - Security Overview
Personal Information and the Website
Emotomy does not share personal information you provide us to our websites (such as email addresses) with unaffiliated third parties for their marketing use.
Your Computer
Emotomy requires that you use an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) compliant browser. SSL is a protocol that allows your personal computer to establish a secure connection to our Internet servers. We require 128-bit SSL encryption. SSL uses encryption techniques that turn all information transmitted into a series of unrecognizable characters as the information travels through the Internet. Our servers turn these characters into recognizable information after the secure connection has been made. SSL also utilizes the additional protection of digitally signed certificates that assure you are communicating with Emotomy. Look for the small padlock icon located in the lower right corner of your Web browser window. A closed or locked padlock indicates a secure connection. Look for "https://" at the beginning of the website address or URL in your Web browser. The "s" means the page has a secure connection.
Emotomy's online services utilize cookies. Cookies are small pieces of information that are sent from Emotomy to your browser. The cookie stores information used to safeguard your session and assist with your navigation through Emotomy. You must set your browser to allow cookies to use Emotomy's online services. Emotomy uses session cookies rather than persistent cookies. Session cookies are not saved at the end of a session and do not store personal information that other programs can access. We may collect information about your online activity on our websites, such as content viewed and pages visited. However, we do not share that information with third parties for their marketing use. We use the information ourselves to help improve our websites.
We may use information regarding the location of your computer or device to protect the security of your account information and our systems. We may also use this information to help improve our services. We will only use your location information to provide you with marketing if you specifically authorize us to do so.
Establishing a Session with the Server
When you log in to Emotomy from any Emotomy.com Web page, your User ID and password are transmitted to us in 128-bit encrypted form. This occurs even though information on the Emotomy.com Web pages is sent to you in an unencrypted form prior to your logging into Emotomy.
The first time you sign on to Emotomy.com, you are required to set your User ID and password. We also recommend that you change your password often. As additional security precautions, after 15 minutes of inactivity you are required to re-enter your password and a limit is placed on the number of invalid sign on attempts. Three consecutive logon failures will result in suspension of your User ID requiring you to contact Emotomy Client Support for assistance.
The Server
After you have entered your User ID and Password, we will authenticate your sign on information and pass your request to the Emotomy server. This server is protected by firewall technology. The firewall allows only approved client requests to access the server and protects the server against intrusion. Both the firewall and the server are in physically protected locations. All activity on both platforms is logged and monitored to ensure that no attempts have been made to breach security.
After your request is processed by the Emotomy server, the information is encrypted and returned via the Internet to your personal computer.
Enhanced Security Frequently Asked Questions
How does Emotomy's enhanced security work?
At random intervals all Emotomy's clients will be required to select and answer a series of personal challenge questions, which we may use at a future date. You may be asked these questions to help authenticate your identity. We will ask challenge questions if you access Emotomy's server using a different computer than usual or if the computer you usually use has significantly changed (such as changing to a new operating system or using a different browser).
Why do I need this level of online security?
Emotomy is continually seeking ways to help improve the security of our online services. As consumer activity over the Internet continues to increase, so have concerns over online account security. The prevalence of phishing, pharming, spoofing, malware, and other identity theft/fraud activities have all been motivating factors in our online security efforts.
How is the new logon process more secure?
Previously, clients could access their accounts information online by providing a User ID and Password. We have now improved security by occasionally requiring you to answer personal challenge questions to avoid having account access temporarily suspended.
How does Emotomy's enhanced security protect me from "phishing" attacks?
If you mistakenly provide a third party with your ID and password, our security application is designed to deny access to the third party. For example, when a fraudster attempts to access your account, our security application will most likely not associate that individual's login pattern of behavior or computer equipment with your User ID - and your challenge questions will be asked. Given that the fraudster should not be able to answer the questions, access will be denied.
Why do I need to answer security challenge questions?
The challenge questions and your responses will allow us to provide an incremental layer of online security. If you access your account in a materially different way than previous logins, we may present challenge questions that must be answered to gain access to your account. Additionally these questions may be used to authenticate your identity when calling into our Help Center.
Why am I being asked challenge questions when I log on from my personal computer?
If you make changes to your personal computer by switching the browser you use or change the operating system of your computer, we may present questions to identify you.
Security Tips
The following tips will enhance your secure access to Emotomy's online services:
- Always keep your User ID and Password confidential. Emotomy requires the use of alpha numeric User IDs and passwords. We strongly recommend that you do not create a User ID and/or Password that contains easily identifiable groups of characters such as an account number or name preceded or followed by just one alpha/numeric character.
- Never leave your computer unattended while using Emotomy's online services.
- Always properly exit the system by clicking on the "Sign Off" button located on each page upon completing use of Emotomy's online services.
- Close your browser when you are finished using Emotomy's online services so that others cannot see your account information.
- Always use virus protection software and update it regularly. Do not allow a virus to remain on your computer while accessing Emotomy's server.
- We look forward to continuing to serve your financial services needs now and in the future.

Viva preparation
Viva preparation is key to successful completion of professional exams. It is really important to think about the types of cases that you will be shown in the viva and preparing aurally for them.
So, rather than learning sitting with your books, get a set of films, or using the Radiopaedia.org quiz mode and describe films that are presented. It is highly favourable to be articulate in the viva and examiners would much prefer to hear somebody who can string a sentance together.
The problem is that good viva technique doesn't come easily to people who sit in dark rooms for a living - so you need to practice.
You can use a number of systems to help you prepare for the viva (and they will also help for rapid-reporting and long case examinations as well as real life too).
consider common pathology
- for any particular film that is shown, there will be a list of common pathologies that get shown in the exam - make sure you've thought about what they are
prepare exam set-pieces
- if the film goes up and you know what it is without thinking, it looks a lot better if you describe what it is succinctly and offer a differential rather than just saying the diagnosis - its harder than it sounds!
practice systematic reporting
- be systematic in how you report - it will stand you in good stead when you look at a film and see nothing obvious
use pathology checklists
- in real life, many films are normal but this is not the case in the exam; an apparently normal film usually has some hidden pathology and having a checklist of these is very helpful

NEW MUSIC: MFM Praise Team – 'Jehovah Reigns'
"The PRAISE-TEAM of MFM LAGOS REGION 7 EJIGBO HEADQUARTERS premieres "JEHOVAH REIGNS". This is the first single off the forthcoming album with the same titled, scheduled for release later in the year.
JEHOVAH REIGNS is a worship song that will stir up your faith and spirit in adoration and worship to God. The album is the team's 2nd following the release of their 1st album titled "Restoration Praise" in 2010.
The Praise Team comprises of young, vibrant and passionate worship and praise leaders, under the mentorship and supervision of the exceptional international recording artiste, worshiper and songwriter – Femi King, the team leader.
Femi King is a force to be reckoned with in the Gospel music scene with hit singles like 'Praise We Bring' and 'No Wahala' which recently earned him nominations in 4 categories at Radio Alliance Awards in the United States.
One of the amazing talents on this team is 13 year old Joy Okougbo, female voice in the song "Jehovah Reigns", who was discovered at age 7. JEHOVAH REIGNS was written and composed by Femi King and produced by ABG."

Shane Meadows has stopped work on This Is England '90 to focus on his Stone Roses documentary.
The BAFTA-winning director also confirmed that his film marking the Madchester band's reunion should be completed by Christmas.
"I was hoping to get it out by Christmas," he told BBC News. "But over this weekend alone we were going to shoot 180 to 200 hours of footage.
"We've got 35 cameras out there - I feel like I'm making the Titanic at the moment. I want to get it out by Christmas. That's the dream."
Of shelving plans for his latest This Is England TV follow-up, Meadows explained: "The mad thing for me is, I was supposed to be doing This Is England '90. That was the one I was looking forward to the most because I was going to get to use the Roses' music.
"And the only thing that could have superseded me doing that was the Roses themselves reforming and asking me to make that film. It was kind of like whatever I'm doing, I'll put down because that's like the job of the world for me."
This Is England '88, which aired on Channel 4 in December, won impressive ratings and critical acclaim.
The 39-year-old filmmaker also revealed that he has halted production on another "massive budget" movie.
Comedian Nico Tatarowicz last Thursday released a spoof documentary covering the Roses' reformation.

I have to say it's been a productive weekend. Yay! I was so happy to finish this little quilt. Again, I used this link from Crazy Mom Quilts to make the top.
I love this Farmdale line, by Alexander Henry. It is so cheerful!
I so hope whomever receives this quilt is somewhat comforted, knowing someone somewhere out here is this big old world is thinking of her. I know if it was my daughter in need I would hope someone would care for her. I wish I had more time, I would make many more quilts!
Loving this tote. I will say I made it a little too big. I used this tutorial from Craftiness is Not Optional. I am loving this blog, so many awesome ideas! Love, love, loving it. But, what I was saying was, I enlarged the tote somewhat, because I just couldn't tell how big the quilt would be. I think it is a spatial thing. No matter, I believe it will do.
So happy to have this project finished. I am counting the weeks, hopefully, until we move back home. I can't wait. I also can't stop knitting bunnies. I don't know what has gotten into me, but I just can't stop. They are so cute!

Below is my response to a dear friend of mine who sent me an anonymous "broadcast" type email. That email was about how Muslims seem to be happy only in non-Muslim countries, and totally unhappy in Muslim countries. The author laced the piece with numerous bits of sarcastic humor as to why that was [supposedly] true in each case. Even though it was ridiculous, my bizarre sense of humor did find it funny. My response---
That is funny! On the serious side, here's why they're "happy" in non-Muslim countries---
The U.S. Gov't (& often the U.K. Gov't as well) is not bombing them in non-Muslim countries. Their beloved grandmothers are not being blown to bits by a drone strike in non-Muslim countries, like they are in a country that's not even at war with the USA (Pakistan). I've seen numerous interviews on Democracy Now with Pakistani victims and/or bystanders whose relatives have been killed by drone strikes. Your tax dollars have killed over 1400 innocent civilians in Pakistan alone.
The so-called "War on Terror" (a term not even used anymore) could easily be over--- all the Fed Gov't would have to do is pull out of Muslim countries, stop bombing them, stop attacking SUSPECTS with drone strikes, stop supporting Muslim dictatorships (like Egypt & Saudi Arabia), and let the proper agencies handle any further terrorist incidents---law enforcement agencies. Soldiers are not trained to be cops, & shouldn't be expected to do that job.
It's a myth that most Muslims are trying to take over the world...propaganda put out by Oligarchs. The tiny radical element in Islam that might be trying that has been trying for about 1400 yrs. Apparently they aren't very good at it. The Oligarchy will never let them succeed. They don't have a prayer (no pun intended:).
The Oligarchs in the USA and their wholly owned subsidiary, the Fed Gov't, use the Muslim thing simply to keep Perpetual War going. It's good for BIG Business (less than 1% of Business), and it keeps the "bewildered herd", the "little people", and the "ignorant masses" (what Oligarchs refer to the rest of us as) under control.
You don't really believe that some average joe or jane sat around & composed that piece, do you? I admit, it's certainly possible that happened, but it's more likely that is propaganda concocted by some subgroup working for some "Public Relations" firm that was hired by some "Nonprofit" outfit of Oligarchs, probably all of them in some particular industry. Just my guess. The point of it is to keep the "bewildered herd" continually mad at or fed up with (or both) some designated "boogie-man" group. So, then, when a few fanatics from that overall group blow something up in the name of "The Almighty Whoever", it's easier to convince the "little people" or "ignorant masses" that the U.S. must spend military blood, and treasure we don't have, on bombing some country and killing hundreds of thousands of their sovereign citizens. No wonder the Muslims are pissed off AND want to live in Western countries.
Our biggest Arab ally in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia (a dictatorship), sponsors the most radical, fundamentalist, fanatic sect of Islam in the world (Wahhabism, the Wahhabi Sect) as a State Religion. The Wahhabis spread their extremism all around the globe. Ask yourself why our Fed Gov't has the Saudis as an ally. The answer is much more than oil...or business ties to the Bush family.
Once again, none of the above is any kind of "conspiracy".
Partly just my opinion. Be Well

The service advisor at my car dealer razor cuts his hair to show support for his wife. I've known him for years and he's always clean-shaven on top. The love of his life is in a long battle with cancer. Very long.
In October 2014, my wife, Ellen, had a mammogram on our anniversary. Five months later, after her mastectomy, I was shaving her head in our laundry room. She'd started chemo and her hair was likely to fall out any day. We'd gone wig shopping and the stylist had chopped off Ellen's pretty blonde locks as part of the package deal. But feathery wisps started growing back, despite the first two rounds of chemo. We didn't want the fuzz falling off in her cereal, so I broke out my electric razor. She was a good sport and we laughed about the shaving.
Early on, we decided to face breast cancer honestly. It was liberating. No pretending it couldn't kill her or that she would live forever. We'd fight hard, but with the ever-present knowledge that we were both going to die. It was only a matter of when, where and how.
There were a few tears at the diagnosis but minimal drama. Maybe it had something to do with my own whiff of death. In 2004, emergency surgery for a spontaneous bowel perforation slapped us with a dose of mortality. My chronic Crohn's disease reminds us to be grateful for our blessings. One doctor recently said, "You almost died back then."
But it was Ellen's oncologist who moved me to write a book about dying, dedicated to my lovely wife. This man, who deals with grim diagnoses every day, was offering Ellen a guarantee. Not a cure, but a promise that the poison he would use to attack her cancer would definitely make her hair fall out.
And that's when it hit me. The only true guarantee in life is that we're going to die. The cancer guru couldn't even be certain that the tumor would kill Ellen. A car crash might do it or she could simply drift away on the pillow next to me one night. And that assumes that I'm not the first to take a dirt nap in a pine box.
The book is Dying to Be Happy: Discovering the Truth About Life. It asks: "If you knew you were going to die today, what would you do?"
[Tweet "If you knew you were going to die today, what would you do?"]
Following my master, Jesus Christ, I'm suggesting that embracing our mortality on a daily basis is key to happiness in this life and the next. That's the Gospel truth about life.
If we can be honest enough to admit we're going to die ¾ what are we going to do about it? How are we going to live?
Jesus said, "Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life." (John 12:25)
That's the definition of dying to be happy.
And don't forget, the Lord also said: "Even the hairs of your head have all been counted. Do not be afraid." (Luke 12:7)

Nowadays, there are numerous methods of insulating a house, from fiberglass, to spray foam, wool and many others. Choosing the right one can be quite challenging, since there are numerous considerations people have to take into account. However, spray foam has become very popular in the past years, which is why people started to ask companies that provide Toronto spray foam insulation services numerous questions about this method, so here are the most frequently asked ones.
Also known as spay polyurethane foam insulation, this is a very popular insulating method used today since it is both cost-effective and highly efficient. It is a mix of two liquids that is applied using a sprayer onto various surfaces, such as walls, floor, or roof. The foam fills all possible cavities and completely covers surfaces by expanding the moment it is applied, thus becoming part of the structure of a house.
Spray foam is considered superior to other insulation methods available on today's market and one major difference is related to the fact that once applied, it manages to create both an air and a thermal barrier. This means that there is less heat loss and greater energy savings for the homeowner, not to mention that probably one of the most important qualities of spray foam is that it prevents mould from installing into the house.
When it comes to spray foam insulation, there are two different types that people hear about: closed cell and open cell. Making the difference between them is highly important, because you have to ensure that you choose what is best for your house and for your family. On one hand, closed cell spray foam is known for curing into a rigid and hard state and its R-value is somewhere close to 7 per inch, which means that only one inch of application is enough in order to create the air barrier. On the other hand, open cell is softer and spongier and its R-value is around 4 per inch. Compared to closed cell, this form of spray foam requires nearly 3 inch of application in order to achieve that air barrier needed. What is more, open cell is known for being water permeable, whereas closed cell is not, which is an important factor to consider when choosing between the two to insulate a house.
Over the years, many myths related to spray foam have reached people's ears and have made them believe that this insulating method is not entirely safe, but they could not have been any more wrong. Spray foam is safe, although it might happen for some people to be more sensitive to the gasses and fumes that come from the process of installation. This is the reason why insulation companies advise occupants to vacate their homes before the process begins and for a short period of nearly 24 hours after it ends, since during these hours, the foam can fully off-gas.

Popsicle Stick Showdown
Another freezing cold winter day stuck inside. With temps only in the single digits...we needed a creative family activity to spark a little fun! So...out came the popsicle sticks! Little did I know that my family would turn this into a competition! We spent over 3 hours cutting, gluing, stacking, and engineering these awesome structures. My son Noah decided to build his own version of the Twin Towers...with a bridge. Chris, my hubby spent most of the 3 hours building walls, which he then assembled into a towering structure. I decided on a pretty little doll house. My roof is still drying, but will soon find it's way atop the sweet little house. Ironically, I brought the popsicle sticks home for my son Gabe..."The Builder". However the glue just wasn't drying quick enough for him, so he abandoned ship to play with my daughter Ruby. They had a good old time playing with markers, crayons and Barbies! All in all...a great afternoon with the family!

Year: 1992
Collectible Type: Periodical
Periodical name: Baseball America
Date: March 25- April 9, 1992
If you're a Yount collector like myself and you buy from eBay like I do from time to time, chances are you've run across the seller wfbookman. He or they sell all sorts of stuff, but specialize in large collections of Robin Yount cards and memorabilia. They usually have quite a large selection of high quality and high dollar cards and memorabilia, but they also have some lower end stuff. And while I would love to add low number rare relics and autographs to my collection, I would much rather added a few low cost oddballs. I ended up picking up a couple oddballs this past go around. One area that I've decided to start focusing on is my periodical collection. I have a few magazines and newspapers that I bought way back in the day off the newsstand, but there are quite a few out there I don't have.
One of the things that caught my eye was this March - April 1992 issue of Baseball America. Baseball America is still around in print form and in digital. But back before the internet age this was how you got your indepth sports analysis. Baseball America collected writing from around the country. Robin's article is written by Brewer's beat writer Tom Haudricourt. Tom's still the beat writer for the team at the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. (My old man voice is yelling, "I can remember when those were separate newspapers")
I ended up picking this up for a whole dollar plus shipping which was combined with my other win I'll feature later. Although it's not by any means close to pristine I didn't expect it to be. But it's still fully intact and readable and that's really all I can ask for a newspaper that's almost 25 years old.

Although the work of Sofia Rusova as an early childhood educator and activist for Ukrainian and women's rights is becoming more well-known, she is still not a household name even among Ukrainians and Ukrainian Americans.
Sofia Lindfors was born in the small village of Oleshnia in Chernihiv gubernia to a Swedish father and French mother. Sofia's mother died of tuberculosis, and the remaining family moved to Kyiv when Sofia was ten years old. Five years later, her father died.

Downtown Pomona rocks again!
February always brings a busy Art Walk and this one was no exception. Exceptional art, music venues, crafters, gourmet food trucks, fine dining, farmers markets...all added up to a very full and very busy Art Walk in downtown Pomona. The Farmers Market alone registered over 4,000 visitors, the Glass House sold out as did the Fox theater with Mr. Snoop Dogg performing. Restaurants and pubs were full to capacity. The crowds ranged in age from infants in strollers to geriatrics in adult strollers. By all accounts last night was a winner!

Hon Buya Kamara, 2 others in China on Shandong Steel's invitation
A delegation of three, amongst them, Mr. Raymond Moshe Roberts, Board Chairman of the National Mineral Agency (NMA) and head of delegation, and Hon. Buya Kamara, a Board Director of Shandong Steel Company, who also doubles as APC's Regional Chairman, North, on Tuesday, 1st August, 2017, arrived in China on the invitation of Shandong Steel Company.
The third, Mr. Francis Gbondo, Board Director of NMA is slated to arrive in the early hours of Thursday, August 3rd, 2017.
Shandong Iron and Steel Group Co. Ltd is a Chinese state-owned enterprise, established in March, 2008 with its Jinan based Iron & Steel Company Ltd engaging in the smelting, processing and sale of steel products.
It acquired in 2015, African Minerals Ltd's 75 per cent stake in the Tonkolili Iron Ore mine, eventually giving it 100 percent ownership of the equity of Tonkolili Iron Ore (SL) Limited.
The visit, according to Mr. Roberts was to avail them with the opportunity to visit the operation sites of the company in China. He was hopeful discussions with the company's leadership will look at how their operations in Sierra Leone will continue to contribute positively to the country saying "the wealth must also be seen in the people."
With huge investment in Sierra Leone, for him, Hon Buya Kamara looks forward to encouraging the company "to do more for our people."
Chargé d'Affaires, Her Excellency Kumba Alice Momoh whilst welcoming them emphasized the need to engage the company to work towards adding value to the product by processing the raw ore in Sierra Leone even if as a long term plan.
This, she said, will help in job creation and in ensuring strong economic returns. Sierra Leone, she said, is in a post ebola era and as such, resources are needed to address the enormous challenges left by the outbreak.
In the next few days, the visiting team is expected to tour the company's Iron/Steel Processing Plant in Shandong Province, amongst other places to be visited.

The best way to get away from the crowds in the Seattle area during Labor Day is to fly to another country. We had a direct Delta flight to Paris where we disembarked and went through French Customs. The last time Linna and I went through Paris customs back in May it was a major cluster fuck, we spent over two hours in line and missed our next flight. This time there was potential of the same shit, but this time we just left the roped off area and went for a line that was 5 people deep versus 300 deep. So, now we are thinking we out smarted the Paris airport but only to get delayed in baggage claim for over an hour. What is going on with Charles De Gull airport…I have flown into this airport over 20 times and it was always smooth sailing.
After checking into our next flight for Budapest, we found the nearest Skyteam lounge and found refuge. Linna convinced me to take a shower at the lounge, I blamed my body odor on my favorite hiking shirt I was wearing, I think it carries many sweaty hikes with it. After our easy two hour flight from Paris, the Budapest airport was clean and easy to navigate. I picked up an Avis rental from the airport and drove about 20 minutes to our hotel which was located in city center. We decided to shower and get out, if we napped we risked the chance of not getting up at all and waste the evening.
We headed out around 5:30 p.m. and walked toward the Danube River. We stopped and took a few picture of the Shoes of Danube and kept walking toward Chain Bridge for some night shots. It started to rain on our way back to the hotel, which we had planned for with rain jackets. It was a nice easy rain and not so cold….in fact I was wearing my go to flip flops. We got lucky and found ourselves on a street filled with restaurants and picked out a busy traditional restaurant.

I am a Salesman. I have been one for Decades.
When I began my Career, I was pointed in the direction of the Library. In Sales, there are no Courses (really) in Schools. No University Degrees. As Sales is the most profitable of all professions, and the most enlightening, but also something that there are few teachers for, as if they were any good at it, they would not be teaching. They would be
Where you get your training, is in Books, Tapes, and Seminars. Hands-on work. Finding your OWN techniques. Everyone has their own "special gifts", and these gifts cannot be taught. However, there are 3 MAIN books of necessity in Sales:
- #1 How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. This book cannot be read too many times. I have read it 7 times, but due for an 8th.
- #2 Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. A couple of reads will give you the gist
- #3 See You at the Top by Zig Ziglar. (my personal pick as I believe every polished Salesperson will list the other two) and this book was a breakthrough for me.
What I would like to discuss here is important to this entire website. It involves the first book and one chapter in particular. When you are wrong, admit it, quickly and empathically. I still have not totally mastered this. Especially the empathically part. however, it remains important for this particular post, the admission, anyway.
As you have to admit you were wrong about the Propaganda you believed in, in the past, revolving around the Holocaust and Hitler and probably many other things as well.
What I find in life, is more people fighting this. Not listening. Constantly refusing to even look at the information. Forming their own conclusions, based on old conclusions and certainly "assuming things". I was taught (as you should have been taught) by those "Wise Sages" in Schools that, in a primitive way, when you "Assume" you make:
An "Ass" out of "U" and "Me"
Such "Wise Sages" they were too, to teach you this. Yet how few, catch on? I see morons assuming things "constantly" in later life. Obviously, they never learned this major lesson.
In Sales, I am always confronted with people assuming "There is a Catch". My guess is that if they are assuming that, then I am simply doing a good job! I have made my case so good, that they feel it is "too good to be true". In fact, they even have a "false saying" about that.
"If it is too good to be true, it probably is!"
Well, grasshopper, let me say right up front, that this is a certain lie. If it sounds too good to be true, then it requires more investigation. If it sounds too good to be true, then it very well might be "genius". If it sounds too good to be true, it very well might be "so obvious that you wonder why you never thought of it before"!
That is certainly the case with the Holocaust. "You" believed the stories, mainly because "everybody else believed them" and it seemed so obvious (as per their story) and maybe for just the reason that everyone else believed it, that you figured that it…
Required no Research or Investigation Into
Right? Did you not just accept the figure of "6 Million Jews" as being "Gospel Truth" and your only real backup for that was that "everyone else believed it"? Clearly, you did, if you believed it, as any kind of investigation of that figure would leave you "empty handed" and without any case whatsoever for the figure, had you researched it, that is.
Did you not simply believe the "Gas Chamber Fable" without any investigation, simply because so many other people believed it. There just HAD TO BE EVIDENCE for it! Right?
Probably what is most frustrating to me as a Salesman today, is that I no longer meet people "face to face". I no longer dazzle them with a smile or a wink. No fancy suits. No body language. Using those tools (in the past) I could get people to look at what I had to offer. Yet today, I sell advertising on the Internet. The hardest thing I have to overcome is getting people to not only look at what I have to offer without them assuming they already know beforehand (which they very rarely do, in fact) and to allow me to present it to them with an open mind.
At the end (because I do my job so well) I still get a number who will think it is too good to be true what I present, and quite a few who give me excuses that they need to think about it or talk to their partner or in reality "Spot the Dog", as this is just a "procrastination tool" for them, knowing that in the end, I should have left them with no excuses not to place an ad. Yet I am forced to call them back anyway, while they procrastinate, and avoid my calls, simply because they know they have no good reason not to place an ad afterwards with me, having seen how I have identified and handled all their needs, but they are advertising for free right now, and although my system is better, it will cost them money, and they would rather just procrastinate.
This is what I find that people will do with the Holocaust as well. They might know that "something is not right in Denmark", but since all their friends and family believe in this "Old Propaganda", just like they mostly believe in other things unproven, like God or Jesus, they use the SAME tactic:
This is not a "Smart Tactic" to take!
And you should KNOW better!
However, you have done it. Admit it! You see people every day that do it! Admit that too! You might be just as guilty as I have been or maybe even more, in my past, and in your past for refusing to investigate, and just "assuming" crap that you should not be assuming.
Just because you do not know the answer to a question, or you have believed in something somebody told you of past, do not take the position that no further research is needed. That in fact your "First Assumption" was probably the right one. It may have been, but in all honesty, it rarely is, and you owe it to yourself to investigate!

Triple blow hits Freo finals hopes
Fremantle's finals aspirations were dealt a triple blow yesterday as the club accepted the grim reality of being without triple All-Australian ruckman Aaron Sandilands for close to three months.
Sandilands, 29, will miss up to 10 weeks after scans revealed he had a turf toe injury to his right foot identical to the problem that sidelined him for half of last season.
The club's tenuous position was compounded yesterday with confirmation it would also be without key defender Zac Dawson and forward Hayden Ballantyne when they host Essendon in 11 days.
Dawson will be sidelined for up to a fortnight after straining the posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during Saturday's 12-point victory over Richmond at the MCG.
Ballantyne, who was added to the Dockers leadership group during the pre-season, was stung with his second suspension of the year for an undisciplined off-the-ball clash.
The 24-year-old was offered a one-match ban that Fremantle aren't expected to challenge after being found guilty of elbowing Richmond skipper Chris Newman in the stomach. The strike was judged to be intentional, low impact and body contact, with Ballantyne's bad record leaving him unable to escape suspension, even with an early guilty plea. Tagger Ryan Crowley was fined $900 for making an obscene one-fingered gesture at the crowd.
Fremantle are 10th and face a wounded Essendon and ladder leaders Collingwood in their next two games.
Sandilands suffered his latest injury when he jammed his right big toe into the turf just five minutes into their win over Richmond.
Fremantle chose not to send Sandilands for surgery when he injured the big toe on his left foot last year, but leading sports medico Peter Larkins predicted they may do that this time to guarantee a full recovery.
"If his left foot is still giving him a bit of trouble, he certainly wouldn't want to have both of them holding him back next year because it will limit his effectiveness," he said.
"I don't think there's any hereditary or anatomical thing that predisposes people to this.
In my mind it's just really unlucky and unusual."
Sandilands' absence will force Fremantle to rely on Jonathon Griffin and Zac Clarke to lead the ruck.
Clarke is understood to have been battling general soreness in recent weeks and did not play at either AFL or WAFL level last weekend.
Griffin stood up against Richmond after Sandilands was substituted, but his long-term durability remains unproven after suffering groin and knee injuries in the past two seasons.

Bathurst Bushrangers women come up shy of fourth straight grand final
ONE of the Central West's most impressive streaks across any sport came to an end on Saturday as the Bathurst Bushrangers women's side were bested in the preliminary final by their cross-city rivals Giants.
Bushrangers had taken out all three editions of the women's competition leading up to this season and still looked like the team to beat going into the finals series, having claimed the minor premiership by 12 points.
However, a late goal from the Giants in Orange over the weekend brought an end to the run of grand final appearances for the Bushrangers.
Giants won 4-2-26 to 3-1-19 to knock Bushrangers out of the finals series with the team's first ever set of back-to-back defeats.
The result guarantees a new team will be crowned women's champion when Giants and Dubbo Demons meet in this Saturday's grand final at George Park 2.
"We acknowledge that we've had heaps of success over the past few years and we were obviously hopeful of continuing that but we were under no illusions that it would come easy for us," Bushrangers captain Kelsey Richards said.
"It's disappointing but it's not like a win for us was inevitable given how strong the comp has been this year and the great games we've had against both Dubbo and the Giants."
Giants skipped away to a two-goal lead in the opening quarter before the Bushrangers showed their experience to hold their opponents scoreless in the next term.
Bushrangers weren't far away at half-time, with Giants leading 3-1-19 to 2-1-13, and would have still considered themselves strong candidates to make it four grand final appearances in a row.
Giants had other ideas and worked overtime in defence to keep the Bushrangers off the scoreboard over the final quarter.
"In the middle two quarters we pegged it back and we were even at three-quarter time," Richards said.
"There were some awesome battles across the ground. There were a couple of opportunities that were missed and they got a sneaky goal late in the last quarter which got them over the line.
"We both play different styles of footy and in the end, in those conditions, it benefited them even though we both had strong games."
