Joe Simpson Confirms Ashlee’s Nose Job

After more than a year of coy answers from Ashlee Simpson regarding her May 2006 nose job, her father Joe has finally confirmed that his daughter went under the knife.

In an interview with Fox News, Joe says he had no control over Ashlee’s decision to undergo rhinoplasty.

“Girls have their own ideas,” he shrugged. “Anyway, there was a real problem with her breathing and that was cured.”

Joe, who also serves as manager to Ashlee, 22, and her sister Jessica, 27, credits good parenting as the reason his daughters haven’t gone the way of Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears.

“We have a real family,” he said. “You can’t just put these kids out in the world and they’re on their own. I can remember a time when Jessica was singing at Madison Square Garden and her outfit ripped before she went on. We were there for her.”

And then there was Ashlee’s Saturday Night Live debacle.

“She’d lost her voice, and Jordan Schur [then the head of her record label] insisted she lip-synch,” he said. “She’d never done it before. She didn’t want to do it. Anyway, she’ll never do it again. We just did a huge tour, and there was no lip-synching.”

The former Baptist minister also denies claims that he’s a controlling father. “I don’t tell my girls who to date or marry or what to do.”

He also has no hard feelings against former son-in-law Nick Lachey.

“I have nothing against Nick,” he told me. “But they got married very young. I told Jessica, ‘You’re going to hit an age when it’s all going to be clear to you — life that is — and you’ll know what you want to do.’”

Joe added: “I do blame 50 percent of their break-up on the media.”

Ashlee on Pregnancy: “Time Will Tell”

Ashlee Simpson is still remaining mum on impending motherhood.

The newly betrothed singer dodged pregnancy talk yet again on the Today show Friday morning when Matt Lauer prodded about “expanding the family.”

“Well, you know, that’s been going around for about a year now, so only time will tell with that,” Ashlee answered.

Without missing a beat, and changing the topic entirely, the 23-year-old quipped, “But I am giving birth to my record [Bittersweet World]. That’s my new baby.”

While she continued to be coy about her pregnancy, which OK! confirmed on Monday, Ashlee couldn’t stop gushing about her fiancé, Pete Wentz, and the “great job” he did at picking out her new rock.

“I’m very lucky,” she said.

Asked if they have settled on a wedding date, Ash said they don’t have one in mind just yet.

“Right now, we’re just enjoying the engagement.”

Jessica Simpson Celebrates 28th Birthday!

Jessica Simpson turns 28 today.

Look back at the singer’s sexy — and scary! — style over the years.

So what’s beau Tony Romo getting his birthday girl?

He’s not sure!

“I have to buy her something!” he told Usmagazine.com Wednesday at Harrah’s Lake Tahoe, a resort casino. “I’ll pick something up tonight.”

Asked if he’d pick her up some golf clubs, he laughed: “I don’t know if she’d like that!”

“I think I’ll take her out to dinner,” he added, “a nice restaurant.”

See what a body language expert had to say about Jessica and Tony.

Romo — who is in Lake Tahoe for a golf tournament — said he and Simpson are renting a house.

“We’ll be here all week,” he said. “We’ll probably rent a boat and go out on the lake on Saturday.”

Simpson’s birthday celebrations kicked off Monday when she dined with Romo, her pregnant sister Ashlee and husband Pete Wentz at Sagebrush Cantina in Calabasas, California.

“We had a get together,” Romo said.

Following dinner, Simpson and Romo hit West Hollywood’s Key Club to see Steel Panther (formerly known as Metal Skool).

The Dallas Cowboys quarterback even tried his hand at singing the Guns n’ Roses hit “Sweet Child O’ Mine” to Simpson and the crowd.

See Jessica Simpson’s New Las Vegas Condo

Jessica Simpson is headed to Sin City.

The singer, 27, just snapped up a luxury, 1,200-square feet one-bedroom suite inside the new Palms Place residential resort in Las Vegas. Pics of the one-bedroom suites are to the left.

The deal has been in the works for awhile.

“She first showed interest when she was still with Nick,” a source close to Simpson tells Usmagazine.com. “It was originally supposed to be for both of them, but then she decided to just get a smaller unit for herself.”

Another source close to the singer tells Us: “The location of the condo is spectacular. It’s right at the top of the tower, and it’s got great views of the strip. It’s really cool!”

The Palms Place (located next to the Palms Palace Hotel and Casino) offers a two-story Drift Spa and Simon at Palms Place, a restaurant and lounge by celeb chef Kerry Simon.

“We are thrilled that Jessica is among the first to purchase at Palms Place,” said Palms Place owner George Maloof in a statement. “We’ve created a resort atmosphere unlike anything on or off the Las Vegas Strip.”

Jessica Simpson Changed Number So Exes Can’t Contact Her

Jessica Simpson was put in the hot seat on Thursday’s The View, answering a slew of “true” or “false” questions from Barbara Walters.

Moving in with Tony Romo?

“No comment,” Simpson said. “I gotta get used to saying that!”

Pregnant?

“They must have me confused with my sister!” she said. “I’m definitely not pregnant.”

Walters also asked if she has ever had to change her cell phone number and email address so ex boyfriends can’t contact her.

“True,” said Simpson, who has romanced John Mayer, Adam Levine and Jude Law, since ending her marriage to Nick Lachey.

Look back at Jessica Simpson’s famous Us Weekly covers.

This isn’t the first time she had dropped an interesting bit about an ex. (In September’s Elle, she vaguely mentioned, “I have definitely experienced abuse in a way that I would tell people to take their heart and run.”)

She says she is in a better place now, admitting that she isn’t afraid to speak publicly about her romance with Romo.

“I believe when you are in love, you might as well stand up on the mountaintop and say it,” she said on The View.

See who’s more in love: Jessica or Ashlee Simpson.

On the Late Show With David Letterman Thursday, she poked fun at critics who accused her of jinxing Romo’s career.

“I really think it’s because I was wearing a pink No. 9 jersey and not a blue one,” she said.

“If you had been in blue that wouldn’t be a problem?” asked Letterman.

“Well, so far I’ve been wearing blue, and they’re doing great,” she replied. “I’ll never wear a pink one again!”

Lady Gaga: hermaphrodite rumor is too low brow for me to even discuss

Lady Gaga had an interview with an Australian radio station in which a DJ dared to ask her about the hermaphrodite rumors. Gaga was asked specifically about a much talked about incident when she was performing at Glastonbury in which she was videotaped getting off a motorcycle, her short dress riding up to reveal something extra in that critical area. Instead of explaining that her undergarments had bunched up or giving any kind of excuse, Gaga deferred giving an answer, saying it was beneath her. Maybe Gaga understandably took offense at the question, which wasn’t phrased delicately.

Lady Gaga pulls a Donatella Versace & writes a song for Michael Bolton

Of all the looks Lady Gaga has tried, this one is the most offensive. I wasn’t even disturbed by her Kermit-the-frog-carcass dress, or by her Ritz-cracker hat. But this faux-Donatella Versace look is killing me, and not in a good way. Who wants to look like Donatella? And not even pure Donatella - Donatella mixed with a healthy dose of pastel-pink poodle. Here’s something that will offend you even more - the whole V Magazine photo shoot was done by famed photographer Mario Testino. What the hell was Testino thinking? His mission in life isphotographing women so they look gorgeous, flawless, immaculate and amazing. Why did he get on the Lady Gaga crazy train?

Lady Gaga did bags of cocaine & listened to The Cure

As I’ve mentioned before, I don’t really have a problem with Lady Gaga. I don’t think she’s as original or as groundbreaking as she thinks she is, but generally speaking, she seems pretty harmless. But one thing I do find funny is how everyone basically goes along with the idea that she’s “23 years old”. Really? I mean, she honestly might be 23, if she’s lived a really, really, rough life, but the girl looks like mid to late thirties to me. Now Lady Gaga is opening up about her rough life, though - and we may have an answer for why she looks older than the Grande Dame of Gristle herself, Madonna.

According to Gaga, she “did bags and bags of cocaine” back in the day (“the day” = 2005). Gaga says that all she would so is sit around doing coke and listening to The Cure. It sounds a lot like me when I was thirteen, minus the endless coke supply.

Lindsay Lohan is destroying little sister Ali

It’s rather pointless to wonder what’s wrong with Lindsay Lohan anymore. There are people who you can tell are going through a phase, and then there are people who you can tell that’s just who they are. Lindsay isn’t just some careless girl acting out in her early twenties. This is who she is, and I honestly feel it’s who she always will be. Mostly it’s a numbers game: she just has too many issues working against her. And not enough going for her in terms of intellect and self-awareness. But Lindsay’s not content with merely destroying her own life – she’s got to bring others down with her.

According to Life & Style, Lindsay’s become super close with her 15-year-old sister Ali. From what I’ve noticed it seems like they’ve always been fairly close, especially considering there’s an 8 year age difference between them. And technically Lindsay lives on the west coast while Ali lives on Long Island with their mom. But apparently in the last year or so, as Lindsay’s fallen farther and farther into the crazy pit, she’s been relying more and more on Ali – to the point that Ali has dropped out of high school to spend all her time with Lindsay. Technically she’s in a home school program, but no one believes she’s really doing it; it’s just for legality’s sake.

Megan Fox claims she used to cut herself, but wasn’t a “cutter”

Yikes. I’ve just been looking at the slideshow for Megan Fox’s Rolling Stone cover shoot, and this sh-t is not good. First, the cover shot - what were they thinking?!? Mark Seliger is the photographer, and he must have said, “Let’s throw a Victoria’s Secret leotard from 1994 on Megan, get her to spread her legs for the camera and see how cheap we can make her look!” Also: Mouth-breather alert! There are eight images in all in the slideshow, and Megan only has her mouth closed in one of the photos. That’s bad enough, but the way the shoot was styled is epically ghastly. These look like cheap, terribly lit outtakes from an “adult film” starring Jenna Jameson.

As far as the full Rolling Stone interview, it hasn’t been put up yet, but Us Weeklydoes have some excerpts. Note: earlier today, we covered Page Six’s excerpt from the interview too - in which Megan was describing her relationship with Brian Austin Green and she said: “”I’ve had to say to Brian, ‘You have to go and stop talking to me, because I’m going to kill you. I’m going to stab you with something. Please leave.’ I’d never own a gun for that reason. I wouldn’t shoot to kill. But I would shoot him in the leg, for sure.” Now we’re being “treated” to more of Megan’s stupid bulls- …

Jennifer Aniston's Love Happens

Jennifer Aniston and Aaron Eckhart hit the red carpet at the Mann Village Theater in Westwood, CA, Tuesday night for the world premiere of their new movie Love Happens.

When a self-help author arrives in Seattle to teach a sold-out seminar, he unexpectedly meets the one person who might finally be able to help him help himself. Dr. Burke Ryan (Eckhart) is on the precipice of a major multimedia deal, but the therapist who asks his patients to openly confront their pain is secretly unable to take his own advice. Eloise Chandler (Aniston) has sworn off men and decided to focus on her floral business. However, when she meets Burke at the hotel where he’s speaking, there is an instant attraction. But will two people who have met the right person at exactly the wrong time be able to give love another chance? As each struggles with the hurt of love and loss, they realize that in order to move forward, they need to let go of the past. And if they can, theyll find that, sometimes, love happens when you least expect it.

Domestic Green Engineer - An Emerging Profession

With the rising concern for the environment, the demand for a domestic green engineer is on the rise. In the past, the nations were more concerned about their developments than the environment. This resulted in the gradual degradation of the environment, and an ecological imbalance. Consequently, there have been changes in the food chains; increases in air and water pollution; depletion of non-renewable energy resources; and deforestation and fast erosion of the top fertile soil. Now, the nations have woken up to these problems and are trying to restore the balance of nature. A domestic green engineer greatly helps the world in this endeavor.

Role Of A Domestic Green Engineer:

These engineers help the builder's to make green buildings, and homeowners to practice sustainable living. Thus, they help in protecting the environment, saving money, and building a healthy community. The homes and buildings are big emitters of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. By making small changes, like using energy efficient appliances, homeowners can considerably reduce their carbon footprints. These engineers are trained in various aspects, like electrical systems, plumbing, installation of solar heating systems, rainwater harvesting, etc. They help to build homes that make maximum use of renewable energy resources and are energy efficient and in sync with the environment. They help to reduce the electricity consumption of the buildings by using optimal electrical solutions, and green plumbing practices.

In many states it is mandatory to make provision for rainwater harvesting, and sewage disposal plants, while constructing new buildings. People are more concerned about their health and environment these days, and, hence. Prefer to live in homes constructed with natural materials. The world governments have also increased their focus on the environment and are allocating big budgets for green issues. All this has resulted in increased demand for domestic green engineers. This sector lacks skilled and trained manpower and, hence, it's a good idea to enter into this profession; particularly, if you have an inclination towards sustainable development. The demand for the professionals trained in this field is also driven by the fact that the environment rules and regulations have become strict, and various tax benefits are offered to the builders and the owners of green buildings currently.

Due to the prevailing global economic crisis, there are fewer job openings in most sectors, but green jobs are still hot. Even though companies and governments are reducing their expenditures on a number of things, there is no such cut in budget for protecting the environment. The jobs for these engineers exist in a number of fields. You can become an instructor, join an NGO, work with a construction company, or start your own consultancy business.

If you want to become a domestic green engineer, then you should search the Internet to find the institutes offering these courses. The duration and educational qualifications depend upon the type of course you are considering. Since there is a trend to opt for recession proof careers, many institutes have started offering these courses. You can pursue a domestic green engineer course even through distance education.

How Restoring Missing Dll Files Can Be Done In Minutes!

Restoring missing dll files is a must for your PC, because not having them will make your PC to perform erratically, and even make the PC to shut down without your permission or say so in the matter.

But, first things first, let's look at how this problem may happen, so you can know what can prevent this situation in the future.

This is how it goes down...

Many times when we download and install programs, numerous dll files are either overwritten or removed for updating these files, which normally are hardly ever installed.

This occur when the install procedure is interrupted for some unknown reason.

Such as, a girlfriend who sent an IM message, a crazy pop-up that comes up from a casino website, or that annoying little PC freeze that seems to come up at the most random of times.

In other situations, a file fails to install due to a necessity needed to effectivelyrun the program has not been achieved. In this scenario, a layout of the history of all file installs within a given period of time would show you what files didn't make the cut.

Once you have that list you can jot down the dll files that won't install and you will even know why.

On the other hand, malware,spyware,and viruses has been known to delete dll files. They are especially made to seek and destroy executables and any modules tied to the main program.

So now that you know how it develops, let's get this problem resolved!

Step 1: Take Away the Threat

So, before you attempt to restore these files, you need to do a virus scan.

Perform a virus scan and put an end to any viruses that are found. After this is finished, you can then restore the missing dll files without them showing up AWOL a second time around.

Step 2: Identify the Missing Files


So now that you have completely dismantled any file-ending trouble, we must put a finger on which dll files are currently lost.

Once again if you know which files was not given permission to get installed during program installation, this part becomes cake. If this didn't happen, you may have a real scavenger hunt to do, that can and will eat up a great deal of your precious time.

We suggest having a top-notch registry tool to hunt for the AWOL files for you. By completing a free registry scan by a top notch tool, it will come across and should restore the missing files for you.

Considering you have got your list of the missing file(s), you can go to Google, place some of the missing file names in the search bar, discover a website that distribute them for free, download it, and install the file, or place it in a specific folder.

Many dll files are provided in zip format so they can be downloaded faster. If this holds true for your situation, then having a zip extractor, such as Winzip, will make getting to the files a cinch.

Restoring missing dll files is not an issue as long as you know the files that are missing. You can easily retrieve them.


Once you do this, you'll find your computer's performance will be fully operational once again.

The most logical method towards figuring out which dll files is AWOL, without going through the struggle of locating the program and all of its files, is to get your Registry scanned now.

Wii Memory Management Guide

We are all familiar with today's most innovative consumer electronics technology advances. Cell phones, portable media players, digital cameras and computers have all become household names. We are so used to having them around that we often forget these gadgets are not invincible and that, one sad day, they can malfunction or even totally break down.

To prevent disasters, smart users back up their data and most precious memories. They have a copy of the information in a safe place, and if their equipment does break down, the data can be immediately retrieved and restores, and life goes on as if nothing ever happened.

Backing up files and games

In an era where almost anyone is familiar with computers, most everyone knows how important it is to backup important files. Having a simple backup is a great way to prevent the loss of vital information or can help you recover lost data from damaged or corrupted discs.

One of the best ways to secure your game saves, Channels and games downloaded from the Wii Shop Channel, which you stored on the wii internal memory, is by backing them up to a portable SmartDigital (SD) card. Unfortunately, you can only have one copy of each file at all times. This means that you will have to remove the old files from your SD card before you can copy the new data. Don't be impatient if the process takes a few minutes and you will have to wait a while before you can return to your game of 'Monsters vs Aliens'. Removing the SD card, or turning the system off during the backup procedure, may corrupt the data and make the entire SD card unusable. SD cards are not only used to backup files, but can also transfer data between Wiis, and move photos and music onto your system.

Remember, a simple backup procedure will not only preserve your game data, but can also help you save lots of time and money if you do not have to replace lost games. With the saved dollars you can buy more fine Wii console accessories or additional controllers and games.

Deleting Data

Deleting files from the Wii's internal memory is pretty similar to the backup process. From the Wii Menu just click on the proper icons until you hit the 'Erase' button. A word of caution: make sure that when you delete a file you are absolutely sure you will never need it again. Once you click that 'Yes' confirm button, the file is gone and there is no getting it back.

Restoring Files

Backup files on a portable memory card are like gold when they have to replace damaged or lost data and games. Before starting the restoration, you will have to delete any corrupt files on your system. Once that has been accomplished you can insert your portable memory card in the slot in the front of your system, go the Wii menu and start the copying/restoration process.

Moving files between Wii's

SD cards are handy vehicles to transport files from one Wii to another and a convenient way to share saved game data with friends. However, it is illegal to transfer Wii Channels and downloaded games from the Wii Shop Channel this way. This means that, if you still want to share this information with your buddies, you will have to take your entire Wii system along. No big deal, right, and still better than a hard, steel bunk in a jail!

Untold Benefits of Working from Home

Once the technology was ready, it was only a matter of time. Catering to the universal dream of financial independence, the work-from-home phenomenon assured jobs to even the marginalized individual; the new parents who want to spend more time with their kids, the remote dwellers who find it hard to commute to a conventional office, and the disabled who do have the required skills but are otherwise limited to staying at home. People who have taken the challenge, the telecommuters and the freelancers, are attracted by the prospect of making money working home.

The technology that allows all this money working home to happen is an improved telecommunications link, broadband internet, intranet, routers, Wi-Fi, laptops, videoconferencing, VOIP or voice over IP, email, IM, and all these new tools of the telecommunications trade. There is an increasing trend towards decentralization of the workplace as a result. As the technology has become more and more affordable, more people are thinking of using it to good advantage. Having money working home and not going to office is becoming a smart option to a lot of people nowadays.

For those who see this as a way to supplement existing income, and to those who are doing mainly freelance work, there is a myriad possibility for earnings. The long list of jobs to be had in making money working home includes selling your products in the virtual marketplace, selling stock photography and video in special websites, blogging and blog networking, and affiliate marketing. Then there is the possibility of offering any of the services that can be performed online; this might include technical support for software or assisting other web workers with their secretarial and other menial tasks. For those who have the skills, there are a number of project-oriented sites where freelancers and their customers meet. Professional designers and writers especially thrive in this type of online freelance market.

This kind of work arrangement has also been tried by some of the more regular companies. The employees of these future-looking companies are given more freedom in terms of working schedule and work location, but more emphasis has been made on a results-based kind of management. This ensures that the employees can still look forward to regular earnings despite the new set-up, as long as they send in satisfactory results. The management shift and new working style will take some getting used to, especially for those who are used to the daily office environment, but still there are plenty of benefits in this arrangement. Employee flexibility, increased productivity, less commuting, more quality time for work and other activities, and of course, the ever important environmental impact.

In an environmental worldview, the fact that it is now easy for anybody to earn money working home has reduced the carbon footprint of many people. This alone would be persuasive enough for some concerned individuals to join the work-from-home movement.

Hosted PBX - What Is It and Do I Want One?

You know how important telecommunication services are to your business. They let you communicate efficiently with colleagues, workers and customers. They also allow you to serve your customers' needs directly by giving them direct access to your goods and services.

Telecom services also provide one of the major components of your public identity. Your phone number or website reminds customers who you are, what you offer and what services you provide. Since these benefits are important to make your business successful, you should always be looking for new telecom services that can increase your efficiency, help your bottom line and improve your identity with the public. One solution that addresses these issues is a hosted PBX.

What is Hosted PBX?

PBX stands for Private Branch exchange. With traditional PBX, an incoming call is routed through switchboard hardware to different extensions throughout the company. This hardware is usually kept somewhere on company premises. With a hosted PBX service, the call will go to the carrier's central office, get processed through the hardware at their site and then will be sent to your phone extensions. So, Hosted PBX is an IP-based PBX (Internet Protocol) service that is hosted by someone else and provides call routing for your company. These systems have been in use for decades.

Today, the technology has improved enough that firms should seriously consider the advantages of using a hosted PBX network before deciding what kind of telecom system they wish to use.

Why You Should Consider a Hosted PBX System

The advantages that a hosted PBX network provides may make a convincing argument for using such a system. Businesses generally save money on their phone and Internet bills by switching to a hosted PBX network because all calls and data are processed at one centralized location, which reduces the need to use a service provider's resources. It also lets firms easily create as many lines of communication as they need because all those lines are also centrally located. In addition, it is easy to handle any number of phone calls and Internet connections at one time.

So with a hosted PBX system, you won't have to invest in a new on-site phone system, which can be costly. However, you may need to purchase new Internet Protocol (IP) phone sets, but the investment is minimal. You'll get all the features of traditional PBX including auto attendant, voice mail, call routing, and unified communications without the huge investment of traditional PBX.

That Sounds Good, But What About...

There are some potential disadvantages that you must considered before deciding on whether or not to use a hosted PBX system. For example, some firms' existing telecommunications infrastructure is too large and/or complicated to convert without an unacceptable level of disruption to their communications.

Reliability is a huge concern with hosted PBX service. If your connection to the Internet fails, for whatever reason, you will lose your phone service. Make sure there is redundancy in place, an alternative network that will take over if one fails. If the telephone system is crucial to your business and even a short disruption of service is unacceptable, you may want to reconsider using an IP voice solution at all.

Another drawback is the potential time and effort to teach your firm's workers how to use the new services. This difficulty may lead to decreased short-term productivity and increased marginal labor costs that may offset any cost savings the service would provide you.

Finally, the short lifespan of the technology needed to implement a hosted PBX network may make it impractical in the long run for some firms to use. Computer technology changes often enough that your firm must weigh the possibility of having to replace the equipment against any benefits you may receive from a hosted PBX service. Your individual situation will determine what's best for your company.

Questions to Ask if You Are Considering a Hosted PBX Network

While considering the advantages and disadvantages of using a hosted PBX system, you should ask several questions before making your final decision. What kinds of businesses benefit from using hosted PBX services? Smaller businesses have certain long-term advantages that may make them better candidates for using hosted PBX services that larger firms may not have. Will my business benefit in the long run by using this service? If so, you then should ask which service provider best fits your needs.

Telecom providers have hosted PBX systems that offer a wide variety of services for your firm to consider. This makes it all the more important for you to shop around carefully before making a final decision. Finally, do you have enough time and resources to use the service in the long run? Because there are many short-term disadvantages in setting up the service, you must be willing to commit to using the service for some time before you will see any savings. Otherwise, it is a waste of your time and resources.

Hosted PBX systems offer many benefits to firms who can best utilize their services. Before deciding if you are one of them, due diligence is needed to weigh the benefits against the potential disadvantages that could make using the service untenable. In the end, this careful analysis can make a huge impact on your firm's bottom line.

Smart Phone Is Here To Stay

Technologically challenged people - get smart! There`s simply no getting away from the astonishing advancement of technology and so if you are one of those still obstinately clinging onto your land phone or have only made tentative forays into the world of cell phones - get up and smell the coffee! The smart phone is here and is all set to replace the normal cell phone also! Till not so long ago, the normal cell phone was considered to be the height of new technology, but now with the arrival of the smart phone, it has started to seem obsolete.

A smart phone is a totally integrated mobile device with innumerable features and uses. Some of them are:

Smart phones have various message options like the SMS messages, voice mail, chat functions of yahoo and MSN and all email functions. These phones can connect you to your email address, allow you to send faxes and open any internet site. The device is operated by a special software and it permits you to read all business documents in such formats as text documents, spread sheets and etc., and it is possible to edit the documents also. A keyboard very similar to the one of a full-fledged computer is another feature of a smart phone. A high resolution LCD screen ensures that images and displays are of the highest quality.

A high-quality camera is a must in any good smart phone and it is normally not less than a 1.3 mega pixel with video recording abilities. The images and clips captured on this camera will be free of distortions and of superior quality.

The Bluetooth headset which is in-built in smart phones is one of the most attractive features of these devices. Bluetooth technology has become essential for wireless communication and a Bluetooth-enabled smart phone can send and receive data to and from similarly-enabled devices like laptops, PCs, Macs or other cell phones. This certainly simplifies matters of communication.

Another important feature of these phones is the in-built digital mp3 player. Now, this is a really cool feature of these phones and no wonder Gen Y (members of generation Y are primarily the offspring of the baby boom generation) is so hung-up about them. No matter where you are, you can tune into your favorite music anytime. This format can play WMA, WAV and various other famous music formats.

Anyone with a bad sense of direction need never fear getting lost if they have a smart phone as it comes equipped with a GPS navigation system.

Now that the benefits of smart phones have been established it is necessary to move on to the next step of how to make your smart phone secure. Just like your computer, it is essential to secure the data in your phone from viruses and theft. One of the ways to do it is not to post your email id or phone number on the web while accessing emails. This is because attackers often use software which can access email addresses and then target them for spam or attacks.

Avoid downloading files from unknown sites or sites which appear fishy as most probably they will contain a malicious code. Downloading games and other software and etc., can seem tempting but try not to do it on your phone as this may result in unsolicited mail. Check the security settings of the phone regularly and use firewalls and other safeguards to ensure its security from any potential threats.

Knowing something about the various features of the smart phone and the security measures to be taken alongside should prove to be a bit helpful even for those who are scared of ever-changing technology.

Managing Your EMR Project

Last summer Ocala, Florida was hit by two hurricanes which barreled through the state. Lengthy power outages and widespread structural damage forced many medical practices to close. Some of the more coastal practices weren't able to conduct surgeries for a few weeks after the hurricanes hit.

By our original time line, the launch of our electronic medical records (EMR) system was for late summer, 2005. The unfortunate effects of the hurricanes forces us to postpone the date two more months. This delay coincided with some other events at the practice: construction of another office location, and the addition of a new associate. We understood that the success of the EMR system would require an ongoing commitment - we chose to move the go-live date to the start of 2006.

The president of the Atlanta chapter of the Project Management Institute (PMI), Frank Polack, explains methods that a project manager can use to help a plan mitigate the effects of unforeseeable events. He describes the ten Change Management principles in his second article in the series. According to Mr. Polack, implementation of a sound change management project is a huge factor in achieving project success.

An excellent change management project ensures that office culture successfully adapts to new systems. Implementation requires a Project Manager to oversee the project. A project, as defined by the Project Management Institute, is a 'temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product or service.'

Begin with a Project Charter. This charter describes what we're doing and why, along with the anticipated budget and schedule. This project charter should also address the risk potential, constraints, and outline anticipated milestones as well as those of any concurrent projects.

Microsoft Project is a great scheduling tool. Even MS Excel is able to be used for task tracking. It's usually a good idea to maintain a log including the probability of particular risks, including projected impacts and mitigation. This log should keep track of issues that require attention. The PMI publishes some standards including knowledge areas important to a project manager, who should employ processes from each of the nine areas in order to ensure full coverage on the project.

Three of the nine areas are identifies as 'triple constraints.' The restraints are cost (budget), time (schedule), and scope (work). If any are changed, the others will be affected. Increasing the project scope will result in increased time and cost, for example. By lowering the cost, the quality and scope must both be decreased. Fewer allocated resources will require more time to complete the project. It's particularly important to keep dependencies in mind, as when tackling task 2 is dependent on task 1 being completed.

Quality Management requires inspections, to be certain you're implementing strategies which satisfy established requirements. Simply waiting to see if all turns out correctly is a bad idea.

Communication Management: What must be communicated, and to whom and how? Important team members may require frequent updates, while others receive information less often. Will updates be distributed by memo or e-mail? When will meetings take place, and who should attend?

Human Resources Management: Who are the SMEs, the subject matter experts? Who's on the project team? Will the manager have full authority over the allocated resources?

Procurement Management: Understand vendor contracts and the terms you're entering into, be it cost-plus, fixed-price, or time & materials.

Risk Management: Identify, qualify, and account for potential impacts. Next calculate the costs in terms of time and money. A risk management plan should be developed to cope with identifying and mitigating risks as they occur. Risks should be regularly monitored as something with a low probability will have a greater impact later on.

Integration Management: Includes all elements listed above, along with assurance that they're managed during the entire project cycle.

Project managers can reduce the pain and cost associated with implementation. They are available for hire, and your local PMI chapter is a great place to start in the search for the right person for your plan: http://www.pmi.org.

Alabama Deer Hunting FAQ'

When you speak about hunting, one of the most popular sports in North America is Alabama deer hunting. In line with this, some frequently asked questions are presented here to aid readers and potential hunters in dealing with this kind of sports.

* What is the hunting season in Alabama?

Normally, the season for Alabama deer hunting opens around October up to January. This season is divided according to the major type of tool for deer stalking: the bow hunting and the gun hunting. The bow season starts around October 15th while the gun season begins in mid-November. Both seasons run up to the 31st of January. Over all, there are 108 days for a hunter to harvest a deer.

* What type of deer is being hunted in Alabama?

The most sought after kind of deer not just in Alabama but in most parts of North America, is the white-tailed deer or the Virginia deer. This medium-sized deer is native to United States, Mexico, Canada, South America, and Central America. They also thrive on the east of Rocky Mountains. Though this deer can very well adapt to any habitat, they love the prairie, savanna woodlands, and sage, which makes Alabama a perfect place for them. For their appearance, they have large antlers in proportion to their large tails and body size.

* What is Alabama's annual harvest?

The state has over 250,000 animal harvests each year, with the highest deer density in the southern region of the state. Good harvest management is taught to deer hunters to maintain and balance the deer populations across Alabama. This is in line with the major issue in tracking down an injured animal. They must ensure that the deer is not devoid of its right to exist. Thus, hunters are recommended to hunt with safety and ethics.

* What methods of deer hunting are allowed in Alabama?

A deer can be hunted using a bow, a modern gun, a crossbow, a muzzleloader, or a spear. Certain parts of Alabama allow hunting of deer with the use of dogs. The choice of method in deer hunting, in general, solely depends on the hunter.

* What are the limits in deer hunting?

All persons planning to hunt on the private lands of another must secure a written permission from the landowner. Hunting through the use of bait is also illegal. All hunting licenses must also be in the possession of the hunter during the hunt.

* What are the safety recommendations of the state government regarding deer hunting?

Most hunters are advised to use a small pen light while traveling in their hunting area. This is to help identify hunters during lowlight conditions. Another advice is never hunt from an elevated stand without the use of harness. This is because the most common hunting accident is falling from tree stands.

These are some of the questions often asked about Alabama deer hunting. If you need further information, you may inquire at Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.

Choosing Exercise Equipment

If you've spent some time in a fitness store, you'll know that home exercise equipment doesn't exactly come cheap. One can easily spend thousands of dollars on a single machine, and often, you'll need to buy more for a full body workout. That's why you should take your time and make sure you're buying the right equipment for your needs. The last thing you want is a $2,000 machine that ends up rusting in your gym simply because you bought it in a hurry.

The best exercise equipment isn't always the most expensive. The key is to know your own needs and which machines can best suit them. Sure, that elliptical machine has all sorts of swanky features, but do you really need an iPod dock or a calorie counter? Shop around online first and see which features are standard. Decide which features are absolutely essential for you, and which ones are simply nice to have.

Treadmills are always a good way to start. Most people think they're just for cardio, but today's treadmills do a lot more than that. Adjust the incline and you can work out your hind leg muscles. Walk backwards and you can work a different muscle set. Carry some dumbbells and you've got the equivalent of a full body workout—all in just one machine. Choose a treadmill with safety features and a solid build to match your exercise intensity.

If you're looking for a complement to your treadmill, look into strength training machines such as bench presses. Multiple studies have shown that cardio and strength training make the best pair both for weight loss and basic fitness. Look around for models with lots of available add-ones (such as extra weights), so you can adjust the intensity as you get stronger.

Finally, don't forget to note your space requirements. Exercise equipment takes up space, and a cramped home gym isn't really conducive to exercise. Take measurements before heading out to the store, and make sure to leave enough room around each machine for traffic and installation. If you have limited space, look into portable or foldable models-they may lack some features, but they'll be more comfortable to use in the long run.

Money Management In Betting

Money management and online gambling do not seem to be things that people ever want to hear about let alone discuss. It doesn't sound as sexy as discussing elements of gambling such as strategy or gaming techniques, but believe me it is equally as important. Without money management you are going to end up; no matter how you play or how much free cash you are given; with nothing. The positive qualities of online gambling - convenience, speed and anonymity, are often the features that lead to the downfall of a player. Being able to gamble anytime and in any location can lead, if you are not careful, to irresponsible gambling, loose play and impulsiveness. Many players have fallen into the trap of getting caught up in the heat of the moment and losing their head, thereby ending up losing their bankroll, through betting on hands that they never would have considered had they been in a real casino. Add alcohol to the situation and things can get even worse.

Money management therefore does not give you a special advantage or increase your betting capacity but it does restrict your losses and allow you to take more of a profit when you are on a rare 'hot streak'.

In order to manage your money when gambling online you need to set yourself limits - strict limits which you stick to no matter what. Throwing away your hard earned money is not anyone's idea of fun, so it's important that you bet only what you can afford. This involves making a simple decision - how much money are you willing to risk or in other words, how much money can you afford to lose? For some the best way to do it is to give yourself a loss limit based on your bankroll. Let's just say you have £250 of a bankroll. If you hit a 'losing streak' and lose 50% of your bankroll, leaving you with £125, then that should be the time to bail. You might decide on a much higher or lower percentage, but whatever you decide on you need to stick to, thereby eliminating the probability of disaster occurring and losing everything. By doing this you are also reducing the frustration that people tend to feel when they are losing - by taking control and making that stand against losing everything you are negating the fury that the downward spiral can bring. You haven't then lost everything - just what you were willing to lose in that session/day. By doing this you are also preventing yourself from entering the worst possible scenario of losing your entire bankroll, and then returning to the cashier and making another deposit to put things right. Believe me, it happens - desperation makes you do some pretty stupid things!

The key to being happy in your gambling is to accept the profits you make based on your bankroll and then being able to walk away when you are still ahead of the game. Gambling is fun, and the excitement of winning is amazing - remembering to keep things in perspective will help it stay fun!
