I love this bag/Backpack

I have to say when I saw this backpack online I fell in love with it. Cocoon MCP3401 SLIM Backpack is slim compact bag that has proven to be water resistant and very helpful. This is the only type of backpacks I will buy from now on, But for those of you who love you bag and just want it to be more organized look in to the grid-it system for some help.

A Story Unnamed part 3

After showering and dressing in the appointed clothing, black slacks with a quarter break on the legs, dress shoes, a burgundy colored silk dress shirt, and a black jacket.  Something I would never wear if it had been up to me, you see I am a Blue jean and tee-shirt kinda guy, don’t get me wrong I work in the business world  as clinical admin and dress in slacks and a polo shirt every day of the week. Somehow, I just never feel comfortable in clothing like this. I found myself standing in front of a rather extravagant full-length mirror, I was astonished to find the suit that I was wearing was almost perfectly tailored to me except a bit tight around the midsection, everything looked perfect on me with the exception for my damp tangled hair that went down to my mid back . I looked around the bathroom for a brush but to my disbelief I found nothing, I gave up put me hands on the sink rattled off to myself "All this expensive stuff and no brush or comb to be found how delightful".

Burglars who stole computers from an office building in the suburbs of Los Angeles returned the items – along with a letter of apology – after apparently realizing they had ransacked a nonprofit that helps victims of sexual violence.

The thieves broke into the San Bernardino County Sexual Assault Services office on the night of July 31, police said. They apparently came in through the ceiling about 10 p.m. and hurriedly took several computer towers and monitors, along with a laptop.

Police arrived and summoned the nonprofit's executive director, Candy Stallings.

A Story Unnamed Part 2

I awoke to true darkness the likes of which I have tried for years to achieve in my small two-bedroom apartment but to no avail, you would be surprised how many small light are floating in the blackness once the main light go out. I knew the moment I awoke, it was not a dream the thread count alone gave it away way, too rich for my blood or maybe I am too cheap to buy silk sheets.  As I lay motionless in this foreign place I tried to listened to the sounds of the building the people walking about and the city outside anything to tell me where I am.  A heart wrenching feeling hit my like the weight of semi truck,

A Story Unnamed Part 1

Last night I laid awake as usual being a recovering insomniac means, there are still night I just cannot sleep for one reason or another. I waded out of my bed to the sound of a crash in the living room swearing my cats name as I opened the door of my room.  I walked rather clumsily down the hall tripping on hard object falling to the floor as Mina darted past me without her typical I did not do it look.  I found the object by my feet it was a black scabbard, leather made the chape and mouth branded in silver the hilt of the sword covered in a hand woven black cloth.

Quote of the day

Before the quote let me tell you something, someone asked me yesterday if i liked Hispanic women or white women better. I did not know the answer at moment and I still don't. My response to her is the quote of the day for today.

I don't know, but the love of my life was Hispanic and  part of me will always love her till the day that I die.

she responded  with how sweet I was and that most men don't say things like that, I smirked and went back to my work. She told me she was sorry that me and my ex where not together anymore, I laughed and told her:

I have meet many people in the 7 years since we broke up, but know one person has the affect on me she did just by being in the same room as me. And I don't suspect any one ever will again.

That evening I was laying in bed and I did something I don't do often I prayed. I asked for her to be happy because if any one deserves happiness it is her.

Last of Us

The Last of Us

What can I say but wow, no wow does not cover it.  This game is something the gaming community has been waiting a long time for it has been some time since we have gotten a game of this caliber.  Please don’t misunderstand me there are lots of games with great story-lines Assassin's Creed, Bioshock, Halo, and Final Fantasy to name a few but The Last of Us drew me in not only with its story but with the emotion it carried from start to finish. 

Quote of the day "No internet"

Always Late

I am one of those people who no matter what I am always late, I can leave hours before I have to be somewhere yet I find myself still running in to work or meeting late only 5 to 10 minutes but it's still late.  Hell sometimes I setting outside the building I am suppose to go in to 30 min early and I will pick up a book in my car or my IPAD and start reading and before I know it I am running to building swearing to me self. Other times I will be across the street and I stop at a store let say Walgreens for simplicity sake, and I still will somehow go over time.  I will leave my house with plenty of time to get to work and somehow I will stop to get coffee or food for my employees and I end up being late.  I just don't think it's appropriate seeing that I am the office manager, but I just somehow never manage to be on time. So either its I am 30 minutes early or I am 10 minutes late.  I just cannot fix the problem.

I have tried many things to fix this little dilemma of mine but nothing ever works, I have left later to just give myself just enough time to get somewhere, I have given myself more time, I have tried just showing up early but then realize I hate waiting around.  So I guess what I am asking is there something that works for you guys or is it just me have self-control issue.  I think it's genetic or at least that's my excuse I know being on time is not that important but hell.

Any advice? Or should I just say the hell with it?

I don't know when I first realize every time I found my self wondering aimlessly around town with no clear place  I wanted to be, but by the end of the nights I would find my self in the company of good friends. That is what I think this quote represents.

That Dam Virus…

It happens to all over us eventually your just surfing the net or opening an email and bing theirs the pop up, you just got a CTD or computer-transmitted diseases.  Will first you should have been using protection there are lots of good antivirus you can you to keep your pc clean and safe, but most of the time when it gets to this point you can do little to stop it with most antivirus programs.  I am going to walk you through removing some of the most stubborn viruses/ malware out there the way that normally works for me.  Follow the steps a they pertain to you.

1.       Dose the pc turn on and boot in to windows even if only for a few moments until the popup comes out, if yes skip to next step.  If you unlucky to get one of the bad ones that stops windows start-up don’t give up hope you may not need to reformat just yet.

       a.       1st try booting in to safe mode with networking if that works download two programs the 1st one    is RKILL, next you need malwarebytes by far in my opinion one of if not the best antivirus/spyware/malware programs.

       b.      Run are RKILL it will kill the processes of any active miscellaneous software, after it is done it will show you a notepad file with details of what was done. Next install MALWAREBYTES this is strait forward.

       c.       So now you have malwarebytes installed, if it did not do the update automatically you will need to run it yourself by opening the program and going to the update tab and hit the check for update button.

       d.      Once up to date got the scanner tab and run a quick scan this the quick scan will check the most common areas that malicious software hides, when scan is completed click show results check all files in they are not checked off then click remove selected.  It may ask you to restart; do it and don’t boot in to safe mode this time.  Go to #6 and continue

2.         So you have logged in your pc, download two programs the 1st one is RKILL, next you need malwarebytes by far in my opinion one of if not the best antivirus/spyware/malware programs.

3.       Run are RKILL it will kill the processes of any active miscellaneous software, after it is done it will show you a notepad file with details of what was done. Next install MALWAREBYTES this is strait forward.

4.       So now you have malwarebytes installed, if it did not do the update automatically you will need to run it yourself by opening the program and going to the update tab and hit the check for update button.

5.       Once up to date got the scanner tab and run a quick scan this the quick scan will check the most common areas that malicious software hides, when scan is completed click show results check all files in they are not checked off then click remove selected.  It may ask you to restart, do it.

6.       After restart don’t run RKILL this time because you want to cache the files that it killed off

7.       Run quick scan until no malicious files are found and you should be good.

This normally works for me if you need any help just message me, and good luck.

Obama administration releases final rules on employment-based wellness programs

News Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 29, 2013

Obama administration releases final rules on employment-based wellness programs

The U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor and the Treasury continued to move forward to implement the health care law today, by issuing final rules on employment-based wellness programs. The final rules support workplace health promotion and prevention as a means to reduce the burden of chronic illness, improve health, and limit growth of health care costs, while ensuring that individuals are protected from unfair underwriting practices that could otherwise reduce benefits based on health status.

The final rules continue to support “participatory wellness programs,” which generally are available without regard to an individual’s health status.  These include programs that reimburse for the cost of membership in a fitness center; that provide a reward to employees for attending a monthly, no-cost health education seminar; or that reward employees who complete a health risk assessment, without requiring them to take further action.

The rules also outline standards for nondiscriminatory “health-contingent wellness programs,” which generally reward individuals who meet a specific standard related to their health.  Examples of health-contingent wellness programs include programs that provide a reward to those who do not use, or decrease their use of, tobacco, or programs that reward those who achieve a specified health-related goal such as a specified cholesterol level, weight, or body mass index, as well as those who fail to meet such goals but take certain other healthy actions.

Today’s final rules ensure flexibility for employers by increasing the maximum reward that may be offered under appropriately designed wellness programs, including outcome-based programs.  The final rules also protect consumers by requiring that health-contingent wellness programs be reasonably designed, be uniformly available to all similarly situated individuals, and accommodate recommendations made at any time by an individual’s physician based on medical appropriateness.

The final rules will be effective for plan years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2014.

The rule was issued May 29.  To view the final rule visit http://www.ofr.gov/inspection.aspx

Welcome!!!

          Welcome to Override Your Mind, I have some ideas that most of you will like for this work in progress blog.  First, this is a blog written and read by you.  I will accept almost all people as contributors, meaning you can write and post what you like and as long as you do not spam, or post anything illegal we should be good.  There will be few things that we consider taboo here but as they come in, our soon to be formed council we will make a rules list that we expect our contributors to fallow.

          What I am hoping to achieve here is blog where you can share you knowledge with our community, and learn a few things in return. All post will be based on the knowledge of the writer and his/her sources, some post will be nothing more than the writers opinion, while others will be a stories that you tell for advice. You can write about whatever you would like, talk about the new gaming systems that are coming out, about a movie or TV show, new technologies, celebrities, cars, books, politics, work, or hell even your day. Anything that may interest other readers or something you need answers too.
