Epson WorkForce 310 Printer Review

Epson WorkForce 310 Printer Review

With all-in-one printer vendors competing to offer the most functionality at the lowest price, consumers are left with a difficult shopping decision to make. In a recent review, to the $99 Lexmark Impact S305 scored favorably with us, but we felt cheated by the missing fax function. Epson picks up Lexmark’s slack with the introduction of their $120 WorkForce 310, a true all-in-one device that can print, fax, copy, and scan with output speeds that crush the competition. The printer can use improvement in photo output quality and benefit from a wireless connection, but its inexpensive cost of ownership and rapid print speeds make the WorkForce 310 a fully capable business printer and well worthy of our recommendation.

Design and features
The Epson WorkForce 310’s design marries an elegant wave shape with a solid control panel in the center that gives you one-touch access to the most popular settings. Most of the printer is swathed in a matte black finish with small touches of a faux-carbon black plastic weaved throughout the external case. We took issue with the barren control panel on the Lexmark Impact S305, but Epson suffers no issues here; the two-line LCD displays all relevant print information as well as individual job progress, cartridge-installation directions, and detailed instructions on how to fix a paper jam. The unit can store up to 60 speed-dial numbers for outgoing faxes and you get five empty buttons on the panel to start you off. There’s also the standard array of buttons for print modes, menus, and a large directional pad for scrolling through the screens.

The WorkForce 310 also benefits from a 30-sheet automatic document feeder on its top that automatically picks up individual sheets from a stack in the tray. Any multifunction or all-in-one printer for business use should include an ADF, although this feature also was missing from the Lexmark. At the same time, keep in mind that ADFs always add significant bulk to the printer. The Epson WorkForce 310 measures a workable 1.8 inches wide by 21.3 inches deep by 11.9 inches tall, but users with limited space might want to for a more compact printer. When you’re not copying or faxing stacks of paper, you can store up to 100 sheets of plain 20 pound white paper in the input tray that folds out of a rear panel, and all outbound prints get corralled by an extendable on the bottom lip of the printer.

The side of the WorkForce 310 houses the connectivity ports you need to pair it with your home or work computer. IT Pros and business shoppers will find the Ethernet and USB ports sufficient for network connections, but it’s important to note the lack of wireless access. We suspect that this omission won’t really concern business professionals, but a Wi-Fi print server does add appeal to consumers who don’t want to deal with another cable on the back of their computer.

Just above the control panel, you’ll find two hinged bays that expose the 1,200 by 2,400 dpi scanner glass and ink cartridge repository. Its scanning functions let you save an image in three ways: to a specific file folder, as a PDF document in a folder, or as an attachment in an outgoing e-mail message. The included NewSoft Presto Page Manager software helps to organize your scanned images, but the Optical Character Recognition left us with numerous spelling mistakes and character confusions.

Unlike many budget printers that leave you with only two small ink tanks that produce a limited spectrum of color, the Epson WorkForce 310 offers a unique five-ink cartridge bay: one for each of the separated black, cyan, magenta, and yellow cartridges in addition to an extra slot for one more black tank. The extra black cartridge is useful for when you need a backup, but it’s worth noting that the printer will not operate without the additional cartridge installed.

To factor the most cost-efficient price per page, we’re using Epson’s XL black and color cartridges that cost $20 and $17, respectively. In accordance with Epson’s posted ink cartridge yields, we determined the cost of printing to be an affordable 2.5 cents per page of black ink and 3.2 cents per color. Again, the catch is that you’ll wind up spending double to purchase two black ink cartridges at a time.

To its credit, the cost of the extra black cartridge isn’t such a big deal when you consider the incredible output speed of this Epson printer. After coming away from the Lexmark Impact S305’s impressive 7.31 pages of text per minute, we were blown away by Epson’s 13.11 pages per minute, more than double the speed of competitive devices from HP, Canon, and Kodak. Oddly enough, the rest of our test documents (photos, graphics, presentation, and snapshots) offered standard speeds, if not a bit on the slow side. However, businesses that mostly print plain text documents will certainly see productivity gains with this device.

Though we weren’t as thrilled with the WorkForce 310’s overall print quality, it’s certainly better than what you’d get from a public photo kiosk. The internal driver settings let you choose between Photo or Best Photo mode, but keep in mind that you’ll wait significantly longer for the finished product with Best Photo. Text quality offers a similar choice between simple Text and a more complex Text and Image mode. We noticed subtle differences between the two, but not nearly enough in our snapshot photos and graphics documents to warrant the use of extra ink. We’re satisfied with the printer’s capability to reproduce colors and fine text lines, but many of the color blends in our snapshots obviously suffer from color blocks and an undersaturated haze. Bright colors in prints don’t seem to pop as much as they should, which is usually the case with business-oriented printers.

Olivia300's review of Dreamrider Silver Rola

“Save your money, don't buy!”

Written on: 10/07/2014 by Olivia300 (1 review written)

First one that was delivered was no good, the frame bent towards the right. Front wheel could not be locked or adjusted properly to make it go straight. I could not attach the seat. The instructions ars useless and bare in detail. Sent it back, the second one did not look much better. Still can't attach seat, so it sits in laundry not being used. I dont attach any of the accessories they are useless.
oh that's right I did attach the umbrella holder, but it snapped the second time I used it. Now have a Extra Hand holder bodgied into the handle by a crafty male friend.

Now to top it off, the battery connection is broken so I can't use it at all. It stopped part way around a game, which I had to abandon. Previously, I would try to turn it on half way up a fairway, and it would be dead. I would have to turn it on and off several times before it would start to work again. The company I purchased this piece of gsrbage through, via Ebay stopped ansering my messages.

I should have spent the money on an MGI or other quality buggy.

Analog multimeter vs Digital multimeter

There are two types of multimeters viz. analog and digital based on their measurement and display method. Following sections describes Analog multimeter and Digital multimeter and also mention difference between them.

Analog Multimeter

analog multimeter

In Analog Multimeter continuous deflection of a pointer over a scale represents the value of quantity being measured. Insite analog multimeter there will be current measuring moving coil meter with appropriate internal resistors which will be brought into circuit based on range switch selection. It is used to measure AC and DC current as well as voltage. It is also used to measure resistance. Multimeters are available to measure capacitors and transistors.

The actual resistance of analog multimeter depends on range chosen as well as on sensitivity. Figure-1 depicts analog multimeter type.

Digital Multimeter

digital multimeter

A Digital Multimeter is a electronic multimeter with digital decimal display for example LCD display. The measurement is displayed by ADC (analog to digital converter). For measurement of less magnitude voltage, it is amplified before being displayed.

For varying voltage measurement a latch circuit is used to hold the current sample before the last sample is measured and displayed. following are few of the basic differences between both type of multimeters. Figure-2 depicts digital multimeter type.

Following are important differences between the analog and digital multimeter types:

•  Input resistance of digital multimeter is constant for all the ranges to be measured unlike analog multimeter.

•  It measures with accuracy better than analog multimeter as analog multimeter is prone to errors due to wrong pointer based reading.

•  The highest frequency of analog multimeter using rectifiers on AC range is about 2KHz. For digital electronic multimeter this range is higher than analog type.

What is Difference between

difference between FDM and OFDM
Difference between SC-FDMA and OFDM
Difference between SISO and MIMO
Difference between TDD and FDD
Difference between 802.11 standards viz.11-a,11-b,11-g and 11-n

Nutrition Seminar

Most people are wasting time and effort trying to lose weight simply because they DO NOT KNOW HOW TO BURN THE FAT.

Come to one of Seminars and learn HOW THE BODY BURNS FAT.

Our Seminars take you way beyond just dieting as there are many factors to the hormone-influences of weight loss. Did you know there are over 600 hormones in your body? And out of the 600 hormones, around 6 of them are responsible for burning fat. And each of these 6 is influenced by foods, exercise, sleep, and stress. The goal is to use all of these factors to fit the body type.

Skeptical? Sound too good to be true?

You need to be skeptical. This is a healthy thing. There is so much garbage being promoted that it’s hard to sift through the good from the bad. Our seminar is not a sales pitch to get you to buy the latest weight loss pill – it’s a valuable educational experience in creating health so you can lose weight. If it makes sense to you and you decide you want a consultation on your specific program, it’s up to you – no pressure.

Why our seminar can help you

Let’s assume you are doing everything right – your eating is perfect and your exercise is consistent and correct for your body type. What else should you look for? I first check on anything that could be increasing cortisol – lack of sleep, pain in the body, stressful environment, or even hot flashes. I’ll have the person work on these. I will also look at the medication they are on, as this could be the main reason they are not able to lose weight. And by the way, check with your doctor before coming off the meds.

The medications that cause weight gain are as follows:

1.  Insulin

2.  Prednisone

3.  Hormonal Replacement Therapy and Birth Control Pills

4.  Diuretics

5.  High Blood Pressure Meds

6.  High Cholesterol Meds

7.  Especially Psychiatric Medication – Prozac, Zoloft, etc.

Then I make sure there are NO sugar, alcohols, or artificial sweeteners in the diet, which cause major water weight accumulation. I try to find out what problem the individual is trying to solve with regard to the medication. It might be a hot flash or some inflammation or depression.  Other barriers could be flavored yogurt, sugar in salad dressing. MSG in restaurant foods, or too many occasional junk foods. The person will tell me, “It’s just a little bit.” But that little bit is enough to prevent the whole thing from happening.

Your Immune System, Viruses and Stress

Viruses, interestingly, are not alive. They could be compared to a floppy disk with pre-programmed instructions. They lie dormant until they can be injected into the cell, like inserting a floppy disk into the computer drive. Viruses become alive or active when your cells allow them to come through the door. They can be inserted into your cells when your resistance to viruses becomes weakened.

Viruses depend on your cells for their life force. They can only reproduce off your cellular material. All a virus has is the blueprint, or a copy of the blueprint, to reproduce, nothing else. The copy machine is in your cells. Viruses have NO power over you unless your cells give them access to the copy machine.

You can never fully kill viruses because they are not alive in the first place. They instead go into inactive mode or what is called remission.

So, what is the real cause of this problem?

If you keep your immune system strong, no viruses can penetrate.

What is the immune system? It is the body’s defense mechanism against disease, infection and foreign substances. It is composed of several organs and glands: the liver (deactivation of immune cells), bone marrow (producer of immune cells), the thymus (training camp for white blood cells), the adrenals (anti-inflammation and immune cell effects), the spleen (immune cell recycling center), and the lymph nodes (location where it all happens).

One of the things that lowers cell resistance is SUGAR. That is the worst thing to consume when you’re feeling run-down. But what do we give children when they’re sick or in the hospital? Jell-O, ice cream, etc.

This is How to Crush a Bucket List: A Year in Review

Ask just about anyone you know if they have a bucket list of awesome things they want to do before they die, and chances are, they'll say yes.

"I want to travel the world," some will say.

"I want to start my own business," others will say.

"I want to win the lottery and retire at 45, never to work again," other (delusional) friends might say.
But how many do you know who are actively working on their bucket lists? It wasn't until I finally started knocking items off my own bucket list that I realized how long I'd been hiding in the category of all talk and no action.

People tend to reevaluate their lives when they go through major transitions. My divorce was no exception. It was during the dismantling of my marriage that I started on my bucket list. And if I'm being honest, I didn't even know that's what I was doing. At the time, I was just in need of a distraction, a goal, a reason to get out of bed and move. My bucket list came knocking on my door, telling me it was time, promising that the only way I could fail was by not trying.

That was three years ago. So how am I doing on that bucket list? I'm proud to say I'm kicking its ass.
What all have I checked off? Well, a year ago I wrote a piece for the Huffington Post called, "How a Divorce Bucket List Helped Me Move On," listing six big-ticket items on my bucket list. Here's how I'm doing on that list:

1. Run a marathon

This is what kicked everything off. I decided to run the Marine Corps Marathon during one of the most difficult times in my life, and that decision didn't just get me in amazing shape, a cool medal and the bragging rights to put a 26.2 magnet on my car. It also made me realize that I'd been talking about running a marathon for years in the same sentence as "bucket list" and "some day." Crossing that finish line made me realize my some day had come. And I wondered why I waited so long for it instead of making it happen.

And just like that, I wanted more of my "some day" wishes to become "now" realities.

2. Remove a tattoo

When we're 14 we think we know it all, don't we? Well, we don't. And I have a regrettable tattoo to prove it. (Click here for the story on that.) The tattoo is small and privately located, and I probably could have lived the rest of my life keeping it hidden and simply ignoring it.

But I wanted it gone.

What originally cost $40 and 20 minutes of my time is now a continuing project that has taken well over a year and over $1,000. At the end of this month I'll undergo my 12th laser treatment, and it won't be my last. Fingers crossed for lucky 13!

3. Write a novel

I've had a novel written in my head for as long as I can remember. The tricky part it seems is transferring it from my brain to my computer. I can't say I'm accomplishing this bucket list item in a timely fashion, but the novel has officially made a home on my computer with several chapters completed. I don't know when it will get done, and I'm trying not to put too much pressure on myself with a deadline. Right now, the fact that I've started gives me hope that I'll finish. Write on.

4. Learn to play the guitar

I've always been really good at listening to music, but not so good at making it. A million years ago, I played the drums in middle school, but I quit for fickle middle school girl reasons. My dad picked up the guitar after he retired and listening to him reminded me that I've always wanted to learn. With his help and encouragement, I set out on this acoustical journey that has proven to be way more challenging than I expected. But I take weekly lessons, try my best to practice at home and take pride in my efforts and accomplishments.

5. Sky dive

When I turned 39 last year, I had an overwhelming itch to do something epic and a new boyfriend who was more than willing to be my partner in epic-ness. What started as an outlandish suggestion over coffee one morning turned into a plunge out of a perfectly good airplane. It was a extreme lesson in overcoming fear with a bonus shot of adrenaline. It was pure awesome.

6. Go on a solo vacation

When  my ex and I first split up, I had a hard time going out to dinner by myself. I felt like people were staring at me, wondering why I was alone. I felt awkward with no one across the table to talk to. It was lonely and boring.

But the more I started doing things alone, the more I embraced it. So when I found out that my kids would be spending last summer overseas with their father, I decided to take advantage of that time to go on vacation. By myself.

I spent seven amazing days in Turks and Caicos. I swam, walked, biked, shopped, read, wrote, collected shells, snorkeled, sailed, flew on a trapeze and totally de-stressed. And I ate every meal alone, a concept I never would have entertained three years ago. I treasured every second.

7. Go on a hot air balloon ride

This one is a relatively new idea and wasn't on my list a year ago. In the months leading up to my 40th birthday, I wondered how I was going to top my last birthday sky diving adventure. And one day it hit me out of nowhere that I wanted to go on a hot air balloon.

The logistics were a bit more complicated for this one because it required traveling, working around a university's graduation and obsessing over weather reports, but it all came together in a chaotic, perfect kind of way. That new boyfriend of last year was once again my partner in epic-ness, plus my best friend who was also celebrating her birthday.

Although both birthdays revolved around an up in the air sky theme, the experiences were totally different. Unlike the blurry rush of falling from 14,000 feet, hovering in the middle of the sky at 1,100 feet in the balloon was calm, peaceful and beautiful. I have to admit I had moments of frozen realization that I wasn't wearing a parachute and one false move could hurl me over the side of the basket. But when we started descending, I felt myself trying to stop time so the flight wouldn't end.

So what's next on my bucket list? I haven't figured that out yet. I think generally speaking, I want to continue trying new things, especially cool things I never thought of doing before. Since my boyfriend kindly amuses me by participating in my birthday adventures, I try to do the same for him. Last year we went camping in Shenandoah National Park, and I scrambled up rocks and bagged a peak when I didn't even know what that meant.

This summer, when the kiddos are once again with their father for 10 weeks, we're heading out to Costa Rica for zip-lining adventures and sloth sightings. Other than that, I'm not quite sure what's next.
What I do know is that I refuse to sit around and wait for things to happen. I'm going to keep getting up and making things happen.

Despite the tight squeeze in the hot air balloon basket and my fear of losing my grip on my phone and watching it plunge to its death, I did manage to take a Facebook Live video while up in the air. Check it out.

  1. You always amaze me with the subject matter you write about. From jumping out of planes and going up in balloons, tattoos off, guitar lessons in, you are an inspiration and a joy to read. I know you are passing on your positive attitude to your children and your boy friend is one lucky guy. Keep writing and I will keep reading.

74% of Companies Predict the Death of the Desk Phone

A new study asked businesses to predict the factors that will be most disruptive to the telecom industry. The number one answer was the death of the landline/desk phone. The second most popular answer was a switch to 100% VoIP over long-term evolution (LTE). The third most cited answer was the “death of plain old telephone service (POTS).”

What struck us, upon reading the survey results, was that the top three answers are really saying the same thing: businesses are moving away from desk phones and the service limitations associated with them.

Disruptive Mobile CRM App

So should this study be seen as a death knell for voice communication? In the words of the Magic 8 Ball: “Don’t count on it.”

Telephony is evolving because devices are evolving. The publishers of the study, inetwork, remarked that as phones migrate toward mobile, IP-enabled devices “a phone will become less of a single object used for the single purpose of sending and receiving calls, and more of a capability within a larger context.”

It’s for this reason that the businesses surveyed remarked that their biggest threat will come from new competition (47%), as companies use telephony APIs to integrate voice and SMS features into industry-changing applications.

In order for telephony companies to stay relevant, they will have to do more than enable audio conversations.  In many industries, more than 50% of deals are closed over the phone. However, we also believe that an audio conversation is only part of sales communication. Sales agents research prospects, view their social media feeds, study their CRM records and then update their CRM records after calls.

We don’t think you need a time machine to find out what office phones will look like in the future. We’ve always thought that the iPad is a great candidate for Office Phone 2.0, and these days, we’re also using the iPad Mini to make most of our calls.

Will voice apps help you have more productive conversations in and out of the office? I consulted my trusty Magic 8 Ball and “signs point to yes!”

We were hired as a sub and I have signed estimate and a purchase order number. Still this company refuses to communicate with me. Services completed 6/22/12 and have not received payment 255 days later. We have tried numerous times via phone, email, & fax. But never even get a response.  Over the phone we are given total run around each time we call - they either hang up immediately or put me in a continuous loop for 20 minutes, then hang up.  Do not work for this company! I have filed a BBB complaint and resorted to this rip off report. Hope this helps someone in the future. Avoid this company unless you want to donate your services!!

In 2009 I was nearly killed on the Garden State Parkway during a high speed race wher I was struck from behind. At this time I cannot walk 3 blocks and the case is now closed. Over a year ago I was involved in a fender bender accident where I was clearly not at fault and was told by my agent 10 months ago that I was not at fault. Now 13 months later the report somehow had been changed to me being at fault and that I hit the other driver which is impossible if any damages had been observed by proper authorities. I WILL URGE YOU NOT TO GO NEAR THIS COMPANY.

I went to the Bay Care Labs on Keene Rd a couple of months ago.  I had to get blood work and the older woman "technician?" (from Albania?!) tied the tourniquet on my left arm.  It was tied baggy and I asked her about this.  She said "oh, it's fine".  She started to draw blood and my arm started to hurt a lot.  As she had the needle in my left arm she decided to look at something on the side table and turned and the needle twisted in my arm.  I cried out - it was so painful.  The "lead tech?" came in from the other room to see why I was crying out.  I told her what happened.  She did not seem to care and had the absolute gall and said "Have a nice day" when I left crying.  My arm is still in so much pain.  It does not matter if I use ice or elevate it.  My arm feels "weak" when I try to lift my coffee cup.  Every day my arm hurts.  I wake up at night and it hurts.  I still feel her twisting the needle in my vein.  Please please choose very carefully before you go to a lab and get blood work done.  The staff wants to know everything about you - but you have no information about the staff - and you aren't the one with the needle.  Is it a needle or a weapon?  I am so sore!

I was hesitant to even begin to try to pursue something like this but I really think that I might have a good chance children and youth wrongfully took my child away from me a few months ago I got a phone call at home saying that I had to bring my child and 2 children and youth because they had gotten a phone call saying that I could not handle my child's behavior and I could not keep her safe let me back up a little bit here my daughter is 5 years old she's been inpatient in the hospital 3 * since she's been almost 4 at kidspeace in allentown, pa. since she's been three the doctors have had ur on numerous medications the first time she came out the hospital the medicine was making her see things that weren't there so I had taken her back to the hospital and they had admitted her again. After the second time she was released it was probably about 6 or 7 months later I began seeing other behaviors that was not normal so this year I tool her to holy spirit hospital in camp hill, pa to see if they can. [continued below]....
.....check her. They admitted her.again and said her behavior was out of control. She was in kids peace for about a week and they released her on 450 mg of lithium and 350 of sequel and tennex. I could tell as soon as I picked her up she was not the same. She was so angry and after a couple days of being home she was screaming and.hitting and angry. I.took her to her med check up at diakon in mechanicsburg and I.wanTed to let him know that the doctor's at kidspeace put her on way to much medicine for her little body. Before we went into the office she was throwing a tantrum because I would not buy her a soda she was on the floor just throwing a tantrum kicking your feet and I just let her go well it was time to go back into the office so I picked her.up n carried her back in the office. When.I put her down she was still upset and threw down the doctor's chair. I was overwhelmed I was crying.but only because.I.knew it was the medicine taking over her body. Later when I got home is when I got the phone call. I didn't understand when they said I couldn't keep her safe. We were in a closed room it wasn't like she was in a street. So it's been almost 4 months and she has been.been bounced three times in foster homes. The first foster home that they had placed her in she wasnt even in there a week and she was removed because a 9 year old sexually propostioned Hailey. Then she was moved to shippenburg with another family. Hailey seemed to adapt there and liked the family but children and youth for word that there was the possibility of drugs being sold and using in the home. They took Hailey and placed her with the same foster mom from the beginning only because that boy that tried to perform sexual acts on my daughter is no longer there. They are investigating the second home and trying to send Hailey back to shippensburg. I'm supposed to be doing three days parenting skills sessions with Hailey three times a week. We are supposed to start out there and the supposed to move into my home so we can start the reunification process. Needless to say we have not moved inside my home and the woman who is my mentor at abc is procrastinating. I see a big difference in Hailey and things are going well but Andy keeps saying I have to work on this and work on that and making me watch these does on parenting. She belittles me all the time. Her father well he gets to see her 1 time at the abc office and 4 hours at his house on Sundays. Andy said we are two diff cases ...and Hailey seems to listen to her dad more. But all kids do that kids act diff with there mother and father. I feel like he's getting all this special treatment. And I saw my daughter 1 time this week. The foster mom they put her back with won't drive to where the office is three times a week. And the day she was supposed to drive her which was yesterday she said Hailey was sick. Her father said he Is seeing Hailey on thanksgiving. But not me? Something is not adding up. I didn't deserve this. Plus they are drug testing me 2 times so far and I was clean both times. Her father came up dirty and who knows if he's been having to take more. I need help .... can someone help me.

Mylife.com advertises a "search alert" which tells yu when a person has searched for you.  I spoke with "Rachael" who confirmed the search alerts are fake, they continue to generate fake searchs as if the person as just looked for you in real time.  I signed up for Mylife.com because i have an internet stalker who uses Mylife, Facebook, etc...to search, monitor and harrass me, for the last 4 years.  i cut off my paid account with Mylife.com because they do not deliver the services they advertise.  I kept the free account with the Search Alert feature, because I kept getting messages in real time that my stalker had just lloked for me, i was gettin one every two days, then once a week, then back to every few days.  I have gotten over a hundred notices sayng that this specific person has been looking for me.  Rachael from customer service stated (on 6/20/2013 approx. [continued below]....

..... 10:40 am PST) that the search alert was created by the stalker, confirmed that most of the search alerts are NOT REAL, TOALLY FAKE FORADVERTISING PURPOSES.  This stalker has cause me 4 years of heartache and worry, So I confronted the stalker by email.  She says she gets the same search alerts(probably not true as I do not search for her).  I sent Mylife.com 2 seperate emails with a header of ATTN: Please RESPOND ASAP SECURITY ISSUE.   They claim n their customer care section that all inquiries will be answered WITHIN 24 hours, never happened. I got an auto reply that the inquiry was recieved and I would get a response within 24 hours, it never came so i called today to find out why.  They refused to answer why they never got back to me.  I tried to speak to a manager, I was refused as well, saying "there wasn't one available" or something like that, either way, no manager access.   I explained that their FAKE SEARCH ALERT software had caused me to already file police reports, and was currently in the process of obtaining a restraining order becas ethe stalker has threatened to harm me and/or my family.  I also explained that I wanted a record from my account of which of the searches were real, from the stalker, ones she actuay performed herself, and I was told i would need a court subpoena to retrieve those.  This company is extremely decptive, they use misleading, unethical and dishonest tactics to promote their services which are not even real.  These deceptive practices almost led me to court over how many alerts I recieved, giving the exact date/time/name of the person looking for me and exactly when they searched, all fake.  Mylife.com has actually caused the local Sheriffs' Dept and the courts time and money, as they have already called this person and have had to issue me paperwork for the restraining order, and if finalized, would have had to pay for the filing, service to the defendant, and an entire court case for the restraining order.   Rachael from Mylife.com could not explain why it is legal for Mylife.com to use misleading and fake advertising sacms to get people's money for services they supposedly provide, but illegal for all other businesses to do.  I now it is illegal and unethical for a busines to trick or mislead or decieve anyone, so I am writing tis complaint.  I informed "Rachael" that I would be filing complaints with every single consumer group I could because of the legal severity of this case, citing the need for a complete change to their unethical practices, or at least a DISCLAIMER on their site and all pages within their site that the search alert is not real.  I am also EXTREMELY concerned about Mylife.com failing to respond or knowingly ignoring  two(2) different emergency inquiries about this and the legal ramifications it is causing.  If the slaker(who is extremely dishonest but occaisionally says something true)is not lying, that means MYlife.com has been giving her the direct impression that I have been searching for her every 2 days.   This is unacceptable, and I honestly hope that Mylife.com gets a class action suit filed against them and goes bankrupt from losing the case.  There are thousands of legitamate businesses out there that suffer and lose business every day that scam companies are allowed to operate.

The Entrance You Fear Reveals Secrets About Your Personality! Mine Was Spot On! - RiseEarth

The Entrance You Fear Reveals Secrets About Your Personality! Mine Was Spot On!

When we face down our greatest fears, we can find out a lot about ourselves and what the future has in store for you. Usually I’d say “pick the cave that you’re most attracted to,” but instead, this time pick the cave that freaks you out the most. Which one would you dare not enter?

Entrance #1.

If you found the ice cave to be the most uninviting, it’s probably because you’re looking for emotional warmth in your life. You don’t like the idea of being alone, and loneliness itself causes great unhappiness and frustration.

Fearing this cave can actually be a good thing. It means you’re probably in a good place in your life. Nothing feels terribly wrong. If you’re single, it may be time to enter the cave, but instead of freezing to death in an ice cave, consider hitting the bar with your friends, going out more, and meeting new people.

Entrance #2.

If this spooky tunnel gave you the chills, it means you may need to go for a journey of mind, body and soul. The murky water symbolizes clouded thoughts and the dark cave symbolizes an uncertain future. It may be time to step way outside of your comfort zone and do something new, as well as spend some time in meditation.

Entrance #3.

If you’re afraid to enter this rickety building, you yourself probably feel very strong and secure. Even so, you probably overthink things and could afford a little bit more spontaneity. It may also be time to tear down some of your own decaying walls put up years before.

Entrance #4.

Let me guess, this one looks like a nightmare to you. If this one freaks you out, it means you probably have a lot of love to give. Home is where your heart is. You fear the idea of a broken heart and a broken home. Remember, life as a whole takes lots of work. Work hard and you’ll reap what you sow.

Entrance #5.

This well might give you goosebumps. It’s hard to know exactly what’s down there. If you fell in, it might be hard to get someone to help you out. This is a sign that you’re too cautious and you’re afraid that if you take a leap, no one will be there to help you if it goes wrong. It’s time to take a deep breath and confidently go in the direction of your dreams.

Entrance #6.

The nature-explorer I am was somewhat thrilled to see this rabbit hole, but if you find it a little bit spooky, it may be because you’re not sure of what you want in life. Being underground symbolizes that you may have some ideas or even a whole part of yourself that needs to be unearthed. Try writing down ideas you have and what you think your purpose is.

Entrance #7.

If this doorway reminds you of a freaky scene from the Walking Dead, it could mean that you have a love of life and want to indulge in all of its fruits. This space symbolizes being buried and things long forgotten. It also symbolizes the fear of a new phase in your life. Are there changes happening that frighten you?

Entrance #8.

Our final cave has good reason to scare you. The doorway to it is a vibrant blue color; a color that symbolizes the sky and sea. but when you enter, you find yourself in darkness. It’s hard to get much done in a space like that. You may value strictness a bit too much. Your hardworking nature might be preventing you from experiencing some of life. It may be time to take a break and go on a vacation. If anything, shake up your routine a bit.

Smoking can Permanently Damage DNA – But Quitting can Heal Some Wounds - RiseEarth

Smoking can Permanently Damage DNA – But Quitting can Heal Some Wounds

by Julie Fidler
Natural Society

A new study published in the American Heart Association (AMA) journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Genetics finds that smoking cigarettes affects the human genome in the form of DNA methylation. [1]

If you quit smoking, the majority of the damage goes away, but not all of it. Translation: smoking causes some permanent damage.

Affecting 1/3 of Known Human Genes

For the study, researchers analyzed blood samples from nearly 16,000 participants from 16 groups included in the Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genetic Epidemiology (CHARGE) Consortium. One of the groups came from the Framingham Heart Study that researchers have followed-up since 1971.

Compared with lifelong smokers, the researchers found that DNA methylation sites associated with smoking were linked to more than 7,000 genes which account for 1/3 of known human genes.

The team determined that while most of the DNA methylation sites in former smokers returned to levels observed in people who never smoked after about 5 years, some of the sites remained even 30 years after quitting smoking.

Said Roby Joehanes of Hebrew SeniorLife and Harvard Medical School:
“Our study has found compelling evidence that smoking has a long-lasting impact on our molecular machinery, an impact that can last more than 30 years.” [2]
He went on:
“The encouraging news is that once you stop smoking, the majority of DNA methylation signals return to never-smoker levels after five years, which means your body is trying to heal itself of the harmful impacts of tobacco smoking.”
The team had not associated some of the affected genes with the damage caused by smoking before. Joehanes and his colleagues said it might someday be possible to use affected genes as “markers” to determine who is at risk for smoking-related diseases in the future.

The information might eventually help scientists develop new drugs to treat the damage done by smoking.

Study author Dr. Stephanie London, deputy chief of the epidemiology branch of the U.S. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, said:
“We could use this type of data to estimate people’s previous smoking. No one says they smoke when they don’t, but they say they don’t smoke when they do, so we could use these signals to find that out.” [3]

What is Methylation

HealthierTalk explains methylation this way:

“In simple terms it is a process in which certain chemicals called ‘methyl groups’ are added to various constituents of proteins, DNA and other molecules. These are needed to keep them in good ‘working’ condition.”

In even simpler terms, methylation is an alteration of DNA that can inactivate a gene or alter how it functions. [2]

Both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic damage. Some of this genetic damage is hereditary, but the majority is caused by lifestyle and day-to-day living, including smoking.

Quitting Helps, but Doesn’t Wipe the Slate Clean

If you’re a smoker, one of the best things you can do for your health is to quit. However, it doesn’t wipe the slate clean.

Said Dr. Norman Edelman, senior scientific advisor for the American Lung Association, who wasn’t involved in the study:
“Those of us who deal with smoking as a public health problem understand … that anything you look at seems to be affected by smoking. Many cancers, bone disease, lung disease, heart disease, [gastrointestinal] problems — smoking has such a wide array of effects, it’s not especially surprising to hear its epigenetic effects.

The message here is that smoking has an enormous, widespread impact on your genes. Most of it is reversible, but some is not. So if you smoke, you’re going to alter your genetic makeup in a way that’s not totally reversible.” [3]

The second PC Studio Lab is used for instruction of a number of computer-oriented courses, and generally for student work in support of these and other courses in the curriculum. During open lab times there is generally at least one student Lab Assistant (a paid position) available to assist students with computer issues as they arise. The lab has seating and computers for 48 students and one instructor. Every computer is identical in hardware and software, the former consisting of a Dell T1700 Workstation (Intel Xeon processor, quad-core at 3.5 GHz, 8 GB RAM and 1 TB hard drive), an Nvidia Quadro K600W dedicated graphics card with 1 GB RAM, and a 24” widescreen monitor. The lab also has an HP 4700 color laser printer, and each student has a semester quota of 500 free prints from any of the department’s printers (color counts as two pages). Two overhead projectors are available for instructional purposes, with a document camera and remote-assist software for classroom management. Whiteboards are also present for more “traditional” instruction if desired. Instructors have use of a sound system with speakers and microphone.

Major equipment: Hardware has been listed above, and software generally consists of all those titles that are either specifically taught in courses in the curriculum, or generally used by the students in support of their class work. The “standard” installation on all lab computers includes the complete Microsoft Office suite, Matlab (and multiple toolboxes), LabVIEW (and multiple modules), Ansys (including Fluent), Comsol, PTC Creo, SolidWorks, Working Model, Visual Studio, and a host of other basic utilities. In addition, every user has access to an Applications Catalog whereby software can be installed on a single-machine basis without requiring an administrative login. The Catalog currently lists some 210 titles, including: Adobe Creative Cloud, all of the Autodesk products (AutoCAD, Inventor, etc.), Eclipse, Minitab, RStudio, and a host of titles related to password management and host intrusion protection.

Whittington: At home in the classroom

In a literature course, it’s expected that class time will be devoted to free-flowing discussion of the concepts, motivations, style, structure and nuance of assigned reading material.

In computer programming courses, those types of discussions are not the norm.

Keith Whittington, associate professor of information technology, is changing that, using “active learning” techniques with great success.

“The typical classroom is a highly competitive environment,” Whittington points out. “There are a few students who compete to be the first to answer any question, and the rest of the class sits back in silence. I try to create a more cooperative environment by finding non-threatening ways to get everybody participating.”

To get students talking, he uses a variety of low-tech methods. For instance, he uses playing cards to randomly call on students and gives each group a red card and a green card, then poses a problem.

“Hold up the green card if you think this will compile,” he instructs the students. At first, a consistent field of the same color flies up, but as the problems become more complex, mixed pockets of red and green appear. Whittington can readily see which students understand the concepts—and he helps them build confidence by encouraging them to explain their conclusions.

He uses this and other methods to get all students involved, but the core of his innovation is the use of cooperative learning activities. He splits the students into small groups and they are given specific, well-planned and highly orchestrated activities. These activities attempt to deepen the understanding of the students by making them solve problems that they may not be able to solve as individuals. It also gets students talking, writing, sharing ideas and teaching each other.

Students appreciate his efforts.

“Keith doesn’t just want students to pass his classes, he wants them to fully grasp underlying concepts, to learn how to learn, to excel,” says Dean Ganskop, information technology graduate student. “After researching teaching methods, he employs the best ones in his classes. Keith wants his students to learn, and he gives his all to ensure that they do.”

It was as an adjunct faculty member at Indian River Community College in Ft. Pierce, Fla. that he developed a passion for teaching.

At the time, he was also working for Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. in West Palm Beach, Fla. and he earned an M.S. in computer science from Nova Southeastern University.

Armed with that credential, 23 years of industry experience, and 10 years of teaching, Whittington decided to look for a full-time faculty position.

“RIT popped up,” he says, a job materialized, and Whittington and his family left Florida for Rochester. The transition wasn’t too difficult for the Binghamton, N.Y., native. “It was like coming home.”

At RIT, one of his first assignments was to develop an alternative Java programming sequence. All information technology majors are required to take a three-sequence course in Java, but the middle sequence had posed challenges for many students. Whittington broke the second sequence into two segments, so students had the option of taking the traditional three-sequence course of a four-sequence option.

After teaching the new sequence for several years, Whittington received a $60,000 grant from the National Science Foundation. “They gave me funding based on my promising results and the fact that I had developed active learning materials specific for intro programming, which was lacking in that discipline.”

The results of the alternative Java programming sequence have been positive: Retention increased by 9 percent, with a 14 percent increase in the number of students receiving A, B or C grades. However, in addition to these impressive results, Whittington’s active sections consistently get 20 percent less D, W and F grades and 15 percent more A, B and Cs than the sections taught in the “traditional” way.

Results for the 2005-2007 academic years are being evaluated, and Whittington will be producing a report in the coming months.

The payoff for Whittington is the ultimate benefit for students. “My calling is to get more students into happier learning environments,” he says. “Compared to helping students, everything else seems so shallow. Here, I’m touching lives. Sometimes I can’t believe the path my life has taken. I love what I’m doing now,” Whittington adds. “Sometimes I come out of class just thrilled.”

In a large bowl, combine a cutting-edge cable network that is Redefining Life after 50 with a determined vision to end senior hunger by 2020.  Now add two heaping tablespoons of support from a corporate foundation committed to enhancing the health and well-being of people around the world.

What do you get?

The recipe for a great new television show on RLTV and an example of a wonderful partnership called – Good Food, Good Deeds.

The show’s title says it all. Good Food, Good Deeds hosted by well-known celebrities Florence Henderson and Joy Bauer, will bring you good, healthy recipes that you can make at home, and give you a glimpse of the good work that Meals On Wheels programs are doing across the nation to provide seniors in need with nutritious meals.  You might also enjoy following celebrity guests as they experience the ups and downs of volunteering to prepare and deliver meals for local programs.

Meals On Wheels Association of America (MOWAA) is so pleased to be part of this exciting new project and collaboration that brings attention to the over one million meals our programs provide each day, and what is said to be the largest volunteer army in the nation that makes it all happen.

Good Food, Good Deeds would not have been possible without RLTV’s vision and the Merck Foundation stepping up to the plate (no pun intended) with generous support as our first sponsor.

We never imagined that one day we would have our own television show. But that time has come.  Every morning I imagine a day when no senior in our country goes hungry.  With great partners like RLTV and the Merck Foundation, and your support of Meals On Wheels Association of America and Good Food, Good Deeds, that day might not be so far away.

Colorado has no quick fix for a seemingly endless Medicaid application that health exchange board members believe is driving away customers and decreasing the number of people buying health insurance through Colorado’s new multi-million dollar health exchange.

Finger-pointing between state and exchange managers escalated on Monday as exchange board members said Colorado should have been better prepared and that the state’s lagging system is an embarrassment.

“It’s painful. It’s odious. It’s embarrassing to have to go through all these questions that are not necessary if they’re going to get kicked out anyway,” said Nathan Wilkes, an IT expert and board member for the state’s health exchange, Connect for Health Colorado.

State and health exchange managers are now eyeing Kentucky as a model and are proposing a new, streamlined application that would be far less cumbersome for customers. Colorado was supposed to build a system like this, but sparring between the state of Colorado and exchange managers over IT systems prompted Colorado to ditch that plan back in February. (Click here to read more.)

Now, state and exchange officials are not saying how much more Colorado will have to spend to build a streamlined system that will be much more friendly to consumers. So far, Colorado has spent nearly $200 million building its own exchange. The soonest a revamped system would be up and running is next October, long past the deadline for consumers to sign up for health insurance for 2014.

By the numbers
  • 3408 – number of plans sold in Colorado in October
  • 34,168 – number of new Colorado Medicaid clients enrolled in October
  • 48,995 – number of enrollments in Washington (6,390 private, 42,605 Medicaid)
  • 37,003 – number of enrollments in New York (13,313 private, 23,717 Medicaid)
  • 31,545  – number of enrollments in Kentucky (5891 private, 25,656 Medicaid)
  • 90 minutes to 2 hours: time it’s taking for experienced people to fill out Colorado’s mandatory Medicaid form
  • 17 days – time one Boulder man told state authorities he’s been stuck in a black hole waiting for a response
  • 30-to-50% – how often exchange managers contend people are getting a real-time acceptance or denial for their Medicaid application
  • 50-to-60% – how often state officials contend people get real-time Medicaid acceptance or denial
  • 95% – how often people should be getting real time Medicaid acceptance or denial
  • $200 million – approximate cost to build Colorado’s health exchange
  • Cost for new Colorado “streamlined application” – no estimate yet
  • Dec. 15: deadline to select health insurance plan in order to get coverage by Jan. 1
  • 138,000: mid-level goal for number of people Colorado pledged to sign up for health insurance in 2014

Both state and exchange managers said they don’t yet have a proposal to solve the short-term problems that are dogging consumers and causing headaches for brokers and health coverage guides.

State managers say they are working to improve the state’s clunky Medicaid questionnaire that probes applicants about everything from their assets to possible disabilities. The soonest they say they can make changes for this year is December.

Gov. John Hickenlooper’s deputy chief of staff, Kevin Patterson, said during an exchange committee meeting Monday that Medicaid managers are trying to fix the problems, but that they are limited because the state has been sued over its long-troubled benefits system in the past. If Colorado inaccurately qualifies or denies people for Medicaid, the state could be on the hook for all costs.

“We are working together to figure out what else we can do to make this go as quickly as possible,” Patterson said. “We’re trying to make sure we’re coordinating with C4 (Connect for Health) in what ways we can move forward.”

Lorez Meinhold, deputy executive director for Colorado’s Medicaid programs, said Hickenlooper’s highest priority is to get as many people qualified for both public and private health insurance as possible.

“This is a brand new process for both of us (the state and the exchange),” Meinhold said. “We hope to see both the real time eligibility numbers go up as well as the lessening of time to get those denials. Generally, it’s happening in a shorter period of time.”

Meanwhile, the clock is ticking. Customers who want coverage starting Jan. 1, 2014 must sign up for health plans by Dec. 15.

While the federal health exchange,, has notoriously flopped due to IT problems, sales from Colorado’s home-built health exchange have lagged due to some high prices in mountain resort areas (click here to read more) and the cumbersome Medicaid application.

An exchange IT specialist demonstrated on Monday how the application worked. Skipping multiple steps, he was only able to move part way through a fake application in about 45 minutes. Starting this week, Coloradans are supposed to be able to apply for federal tax subsidies online to help them reduce their health care costs. But, first all applicants must complete the Medicaid application so they can either qualify for the insurance plan for low-income and disabled people or get a “denial” and move forward with buying private health insurance.

Complicating matters even more is that the federal government’s “data hub,” which is supposed to help state exchanges verify customers’ incomes, Social Security numbers and immigration status, has not been working.

“The hub has been down a lot over the last couple of weeks. It has not been available to the other states. There’s been a fair amount of trouble with it,” said Patty Fontneau, the exchange’s CEO and executive director.

Board members were furious Monday at the seemingly slow-motion response to problems with Colorado’s exchange.

Dr. Mike Fallon said Colorado needs an immediate solution or customers won’t be able to buy health insurance by Jan. 1.

“I’m concerned as to what’s happening today,” Fallon said. “If I had to sit down and put in (information) for my four kids for a program that I know I don’t qualify for, I’d be done. This isn’t Travelocity. This isn’t anything close. I think I’m getting a better picture of why our enrollment is challenged,” Fallon said.

Exchange officials have not released new sales numbers, but as of Oct. 26, only 3,164 people had actually purchased plans through Connect for Health. By Oct. 28, Washington State had enrolled nearly 50,000 people in Medicaid and private plans, while New York logged 37,000 enrollments by Oct. 24 and Kentucky reported nearly 32,500 sign-ups in its first month.

Colorado officials have projected that they would have more than 130,000 customers by the end of 2014. The cutoff for buying any health insurance for next year is March 31. Customers who fail to buy it could face financial penalties.

Fallon and fellow board members Nathan Wilkes, Richard Betts and Ellen Daehnick all said Monday they want a quick solution. Wilkes suggested allowing people whose incomes are likely to disqualify them for Medicaid to move forward with selecting private health insurance. If it turns out that they qualify for Medicaid, they could be added to the program retroactively. But once people miss the window to buy health private coverage, they’ll lose out.

Daehnick questioned why exchange managers were not better prepared for the problems with the Medicaid application.

“Why is this problem new to us? Why didn’t we have a plan in place?” she asked. “Why didn’t we take steps to solve this problem six months ago?”

Daehnick is one of the newest members of the board. She joined this summer well after managers and consultants had designed the architecture for Colorado’s exchange. Nonetheless, there have been plenty of warning signs of trouble.

Solutions has reported extensively on potential IT problems and sparring between the state and exchange managers that prompted a mediator to have to step in this spring. (Click here to read more.)

Colorado is one of 14 states operating its own health exchange. In many other states, the exchange is part of the state government, but in Colorado, lawmakers deliberately set up Connect for Health as a public entity outside of state government.

On top of taking hours or days to complete, the Medicaid application is failing to provide real-time results to customers in as many as 70 percent of cases, according to health exchange managers. On Monday, they said customer service agents can only get real-time determinations of whether a customer will qualify for Medicaid about 30 to 50 percent of the time.

One potential customer from Boulder, a therapist named Andy Rose, told exchange managers on Monday that he’s been waiting 17 days and can’t get a response.

Without a solid answer about whether he qualifies for Medicaid, he cannot move forward and said he’s stuck in a black hole.

Medicaid managers contend that their system is performing better and the exchange managers say it is. They say the system produces real-time results 50 to 60 percent of the time. Exchange managers say that’s optimistic and that they did not anticipate the problem because state managers promised much better results.

“We expect a higher percentage (of real-time determinations) and that’s what we were told (to expect),” said Lindy Hinman, chief operating officer for Connect for Health. “It isn’t the operational experience that we expected.”

Lesotho rains brings relief for Aliwal North

JANUARY 6, 2016
Lesotho rains brings relief for Aliwal North

Three weeks of dry taps came to an end for the Aliwal North community in the Eastern Cape after rainfall in Lesotho trickled down, bringing relief for thousands.

Drought conditions reached a critical point in the Joe Gqabi District after water supply ceased after the Orange River dried up. The river is a major supplier for Aliwal North.

On Monday, however, a storm in Lesotho saw water begin trickling down into the Orange River to the Aliwal North area, bringing much needed relief for residents.

Speaking to News24, Jakkie Van Zyl, spokesperson for the Aliwal North Business Forum, said the community was shocked when the Orange River stopped flowing.

"It is just something that no one could have imagined. There was no real preparation for something like this, which made it a disaster when it happened. For three weeks,water supply virtually stopped. It is absolutely terrible."

According to Van Zyl, people began to feel the stress of the situation.

"It became all about survival. We were lucky that the farmers close to town came to our rescue, supplying us with borehole water. It was a tremendous relief for us all."

Van Zyl added that while there were no recorded incidents of violence during the water shortage, there were reports of vandalism in townships, with two water tanks and taps vandalised.

"We are in the process of requesting the department of water and sanitation to negotiate with the Lesotho government to open the Katse Dam in their country to bring us some added relief. We do not have a dam in Aliwal, so we rely on flow of water."

Municipal spokesperson Fiona Sephton said 90% of taps now had running water.

"The storm in Lesotho brought the much needed supply into the Orange River. There has been amazing work by the community coming together during these hard times. From farmers to business people, the community has been taking control of the situation and not just sitting back."

Sephton also confirmed isolated incidents of vandalism.

2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo vs. 2012 Mini John Cooper Works Coupe vs. 2012 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo

Three sensible hatchbacks get turbochargers, tweaks, and morphed bodywork in pursuit of.whom?

Have a look at the three 200-hp turbocharged funsters here. Pick one you love and one you don't. Go on, don't be afraid.

It's okay if you don't like more than one. You're not supposed to—these three extroverted exteriors were designed to be polarizing. There were no middle-aged focus groups, no attempt to appeal to the everyman. Each of these cars is slightly less practical than the small hatchback it's based on, sacrificing a degree of usability for just enough extra style to elicit that "I must have one" response. Or, since bold design is such a double-edged sword, an "Eww, hell no!"

Of course, chances are that very few people will actually cross-shop these three fashion statements. So why are we comparing them? Simple: Unlike a sports car, where workaday concerns take a back seat to performance, these machines need to serve as someone's primary transportation. They can't be completely impractical for the sake of vanity.

Road Tax Cost 2012/2013

Car Tax Costs 2013: Further Details

Drive with free first-year road tax in 2012: VW Golf, New Ford C-Max. Lowest Road Tax 4x4: New BMW X3

The incentive for car manufacturers to produce new models in bands A-F will be massive as more and more consumers choose the greenest new cars with the cheapest running and car tax costs.

As with previous years, there's a 10% surcharge on 6-month tax disc prices, however you can only purchase 6 months' road tax on cars in Band D and upwards. Please note, Band K also includes cars that have CO2 emissions over 225g/km but were registered before 23rd March 2006.

There's even more road tax changes to consider if you're buying a brand new car in 2013 - the 'first year rate' came into force on the 1st April 2010. Essentially there's a different rate of road tax payable (for the first year only) that differs from the table above - quite dramatically in some instances. Bands A through to D will all have FREE first year road tax, whereas the most polluting cars will attract a first year cost of £1,090. To find out more about the first year tax rates read our article: First Year Road Tax.

You can find the latest car models in Road Tax Groups A to E via our Road Tax Bands page - more and more models are falling into these lower emission brackets so, before you choose your next new or used car, be sure to check which road tax band it will fall into!

Rebecca Booth-Fox – Boston, MA

I had so much fun participating in the Art of the Schmooze workshop. Between laughing at Robbie’s metaphors about croissants and bagels, and his engaging stories, I almost forgot that I was learning. But I sure was! After the workshop, I realized that I was much more confident spending time in a room full of strangers, and I now had practical tools to know how best to spend that time.
