I was delayed at enrolling online thanks to the invalid PIN. By default, your SM Advantage card PIN is birth month and year. For instance, if you were born on June 25, 1985, the PIN should be 0625 0685.
I have tried again and again with my birth month and year, even in SMS registration, to no avail. It must be a bug or perhaps I supplied a different PIN during application and must have forgotten about it.
I resolved to contacting their customer service through their hotline number (02) 833-8888. I just told them what happened. Then they ask for identity verification and finally reset my PIN.
After that, I was able to register online without a hitch.
You can exchange your points to anything sold in SM Department Store, SM Supermarket, SM Hypermarket and other SM retail establishments inside and outside SM Malls.
Basing on my transactions, I found out the ratio to amount spent over points earned is very small. You get to earn 1 point for every Php400.00 spent in SM Supermarkets and Savemore Supermarkets. That’s 0.25% return from your expenditures.
On the other hand, you can earn 1 point for just every Php200.00 if you shop at SM Department Stores. That’s a return of 0.50%.
Remembering I just had my card swiped at an SM Supermarket to earn points, I noticed it was not included in the list of transactions I viewed online.
I suppose it takes a while for them to update transactions. If this happens to you and your points are still not updated to reflect those missed transactions, I suggest contacting their customer service.
Customer Service Counters are found at all SM Department Store, selected SM Supermarkets and SM Hypermarket.

The use of certain common medications could delay the recovery of patients with a brain or spinal cord injury, says a research team at the University of East Anglia and other universities in the United Kingdom. The findings were published on August 9, 2015, in the journal Brain Injury.
Researchers examined medications with anticholinergic properties which are prescribed to up to one-half of older adults for conditions such as depression, insomnia, and bladder problems. Antocholinergics are known to have side effects such as dizziness, confusion, and temporary cognitive impairment, but researchers say this study was the first to look at the effects of antocholinergics on people with pre-existing brain and spinal injuries. Clinicians in neuro-rehabilitation units often prescribe medications with anti-cholinergic properties for a variety of symptoms from pain to urinary incontinence.
Researchers studied 52 patients who had acquired brain or spinal cord injuries at a neuro-rehabilitation unit. Patients who had higher levels of anticholinergic medications in their bodies had a longer average hospital stays.
The state of having higher levels of anticholinergic drugs in a body is known as the anticholinergic drug burden, or ACB. A higher ACB score in patients on discharge, when compared to levels on admission, were associated with longer hospital stays and patients with lower ACB scores had shorter hospital stays on average. The team cautioned, however, that the research was an observational study, which means that they cannot imply a cause-and-effect relationship between hospital stays and ACB scores.
Spinal Stenosis: PT or Surgery?
The grand opening for Scottsdale's newest casino, the Talking Stick Resort, is scheduled for June 10, and already it's being favorably compared to the high end properties on the Las Vegas strip. It's an apt comparison for the Talking Stick Resort, which unofficially opened on April 15, because, as at many of the Las Vegas casinos, the video surveillance system there was a design/build by North American Video (NAV) and M. Malia and Associates (MMA). The 1,500-camera system also features one of the gaming industry's first installations of a serverless storage solution.
"The Talking Stick Resort design/build is an example of our serious commitment to being technically progressive leaders in the video surveillance and security market," said Jason Oakley, CEO, North American Video. "Based on our experience, we understand how a sophisticated and well designed video surveillance system can help mitigate security threats that are unique to a casino environment and we view this project as a clear demonstration of that capability."
NAV was chosen to design and install the hybrid analog/digital video surveillance system after completing a series of product demonstrations for the owner's representative, SICON and the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community (SRP-MIC), operators of the project. The system design includes more than 1,500 cameras. Images from the cameras are recorded on a serverless computing platform and the solution provides both storage and server resources in a single array.
"NAV's expertise and dedication helped bring the surveillance system online," said Arif Siddique, President, SICON. "We are pleased to have completed another successful NAV/SICON project."
The Talking Stick Resort, an enterprise of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, is located in Scottsdale, Arizona. In addition to the 240,000 square foot casino, the property will feature a world-class resort offering 497 deluxe guest rooms and suites, a state-of-the-art spa, multiple fine dining and casual restaurants, a grand ballroom and a 36-hole championship golf course.
Evans Army Community Hospital (EACH) recently won two prestigious sustainment awards from Practice Greenhealth, a national organization focused on reducing medical waste throughout hospitals.
EACH received the Greenhealth Emerald Award and Greening the OR (Operating Room) Recognition.
Medical waste not only includes packaging and single use items, it also consists of energy, greenhouse gasses, water, food and pharmaceutical waste.
The Environmental Services Department and hospital staff members have taken great strides to reduce hospital waste, to include using environmentally friendly cleaning chemicals, microfiber flat mops, single-stream recycling and the use of solar farms.
Even the garbage is closely monitored and weighed to determine if sustainability efforts are effective.
“We have saved over 50,000 gallons of water by switching over to flat mops here,” said Winburn.
EACH is the first military health facility to implement a reusable Sharps container program, according to Winburn. This program recycles hypodermic needle disposal containers for repeated use, saving an estimated $28,000 annually and diverts about five tons of nonbiodegradable plastic from landfills.
Another project that helps sustainment efforts at EACH includes water fountains with reusable bottle-filling stations. Winburn partnered with the hospital’s facility manager, Rashad Rajab, to purchase and install these fountains across the hospital to allow staff and beneficiaries to refill their water bottles. A number is featured at the top of the unit showing the potential number of plastic bottles kept out of landfills.
Each year, additional projects to promote sustainability are created, researched and implemented if they are found to be viable solutions to recycling needs. Each project not only brings EACH closer to Fort Carson Net Zero goals, but it is also another opportunity to compete for sustainability awards, such as those offered by Greenhealth.
This year marks the sixth year EACH has entered the competition, the fifth time the hospital earned the Emerald Award and the third time it earned Greening the OR Recognition.
During the ceremony, Winburn accepted both awards on behalf of the hospital and stated that all the staff and the command team were essential in winning the award.
some of you may know. And for those who do not I play several different instruments I play the Piano I can strum a feud turns on a guitar (not very good) can play the drums very well, but most of all I can play the Scottish Bagpipes.
I actually used to play in a bagpipe band for North Miami Beach Senior High, in full battlefield Scottish Kilt.
I am one third Irish, the last time I played the pipe and dressed and might kill was at my mom's funeral 11/21/2002 the song I piped out was "Amazing Grace" although I am not very religious as a matter of fact I do not believe in religion at all sorry that is my personal feeling, and after that I don't think I will ever played the pipes again.
The few days after her funeral I took my kilt and my pipes in a quiet ceremony by myself and burned them.
People wonder why I am so depressed through the holiday's,... I have buried too many friends and family and people that are very very close to me through the months of October and November.
all starting with my fiancé Durand Lewis, on the way to our wedding when I was 19 was hit by a drunk driver and lost her life in the accident.
But this is not only goes out to her, but also goes out to every individual all around the world who has laid down their life so we as humans can sleep in peace, I think all of the brave souls all of the firefighters, policemen and women, and soldiers who put their lives on the line for us every day so we can enjoy a our freedoms are holidays and our loved ones.
Words can't say what needs to be said, so in turn, please accept this tight warm hug.
Any talk of economics is nil without mentioning production, a problem believed to have been solved because after all, to paraphrase Schumacher, aren’t we better fed, better clothed, better housed, better educated than ever before? Most of us, he says, but only in the rich countries.
It is in this context that he debunked the problem of production: capital, as we know it, does not include the most important element it needs to survive — nature. Of which is limited, of which is not permanent. Sure, there are machineries. And yes, there is labor. What the capitalist does not take into account is the limitation of resources around us, that it is finite and is being used up at alarming rates.
Modern man does not experience himself as a part of nature but as an outside force destined to dominate and conquer it.
We find…that the idea of unlimited economic growth, more and more until everybody is saturated with wealth, needs to be seriously questioned on at least two counts: the availability of basic resources and, alternatively or additionally, the capacity of the environment to cope with the degree of interference implied.
He goes straight to the core of the human condition, and I am vaguely reminded of a political philosopher whose name I have forgotten but whose words have been embedded in my mind: that we are all caged monsters inside.
I’ve long been haunted by the idea of man’s insatiability, something that all spirituality tackles. And as much as I understand the beauty of creating and adhering to alternative realities where justice and equality are possible, I am terribly suspicious of man’s inherent nature.
Schumacher is much more forgiving, much more hopeful.
How could we even begin to disarm greed and envy? Perhaps by being much less greedy and envious ourselves; perhaps by resisting the temptation of letting our luxuries become needs; and perhaps by even scrutinizing our needs to see if they cannot be simplified and reduced.
He brings a more humane approach and a way of thinking about every aspect that touches and influences our lives, challenging the reader to see economics as a system up close.

In 2009 the legislature enacted few bills directed specifically to homeowners associations, but a wide variety of bills will affect associations as well as others. Following are brief summaries of the most important of these statutory changes.
A new form, called a “Disclosure Documents Index,” has been added to the paperwork that associations must keep and make available to owners. This index is a list of documents that must be distributed to the owners annually. If any owner requests a copy of the index, it must be provided to them. To download this index, please see www.jhmlawoffice.com.
The “Assessment and Reserve Funding Disclosure Summary” has been amended. This document must be distributed to the owners each year. To download the revised form, please see www.jhmlawoffice.com.
Associations can deliver notices to Board members and owners by fax, email, or posting on their website if (1) the association gives the owners separate notice of the website posting, (2) the recipient has given consent to this means of notification (this should be in writing) and consent has not been revoked, and (3) record of the notice can be retained, retrieved, reviewed, and printed out.
Before getting the owners’ written consent for notice by email, fax or website posting, the association must (1) notify them that they have the option of getting hard copies instead, (2) clarify whether the owners’ consent will be on a one-time basis, for only certain categories of communications, or for all communications, and (3) notify the owners how they can revoke their consent.
Electronic distribution is allowed for the required annual disclosures listed on the “Disclosure Documents Index” form which you can download at www.jhmlawoffice.com (Civ. Code § 1363.005), notice to members of rules changes (Civ. Code § 1357.130), notice to members of membership meetings, and notice to directors of Board meetings.
Until 2010, California law prohibited associations’ architectural guidelines from prohibiting water-efficient plants. That language was made stronger: As of January 1, 2010, a provision in the CC&Rs or other governing documents is void and unenforceable if it prohibits water-efficient plants or plants that conform with water conservation laws or ordinances.
This bill made multiple changes to statutes on officers, directors, committees, articles, and bylaws.
Amendments to Articles or Bylaws. The Bylaws or Articles can state that they can be amended by a person or persons other than the Board or the members. As of 1/1/10, that approval requirement will not apply if, basically, it becomes impossible to fulfill, i.e. through death. Corp. Code §§ 7132, 7150.
Authorized number of directors. Bylaws can now state how the authorized number of directors is to be determined, i.e. by Board resolution or Bylaw amendment. Corp. Code §§ 7151, 7211.
Reducing the number of directors. Until January 1, 2010, a Bylaw amendment reducing the number of directors could not remove a current director from office until their term expires. Revised statute now allows the Bylaw amendment to name one or more specific directors who would be removed from office immediately on passage of the amendment. Corp. Code § 7222.
Quorum of the Board. The Bylaws can now require a particular person to be present (such as the Board president) in order to have a quorum of the Board, as long as there actually is such a person. Corp. Code § 7211.
No director proxies. Nothing at law or in governing documents ever allowed directors vote by proxy—only owners can use proxies for membership votes or membership meetings—but now this has been added to statute. Directors cannot vote by proxy. Corp. Code § 7211.
Automatic directors. The articles and Bylaws can state that someone is automatically a director because of another position that they hold (i.e. the developer or the Board president).
Committees. Committees can have non-directors but those committees cannot exercise the authority of a director. This was always the case, but now it is specifically stated in statute. Corp. Code § 7212.
Reliance on committees. In performing their duties, directors can rely on the opinions, reports or statements of committees, if the director is not a committee member. Statute has been revised to limit this to committees composed of (1) directors, (2) officers or employees whom the director believes to be competent, or (3) persons whom the director believes are acting within their professional or expert competence. Corp. Code § 7231.
This “good samaritan law” protects individuals from liability for negligence in giving at-the-scene medical assistance in an emergency. They could still be held liable if they acted with gross negligence or with willful or wanton misconduct.
It is a misdemeanor for a contractor to work without a valid license. The fine for doing so is increased from $1,000 to $5,000; repeat offenders can be fined up to $10,000. If an unlicensed contractor is convicted of a misdemeanor, his customers are considered victims and the criminal court can award them damages; this now applies whether or not the customer knew that the contractor is unlicensed.
This is the state version of the federal Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act which was enacted last year, setting standards for pool and spa drain covers. California statute now contains additional safety requirements; failure to comply is a misdemeanor; and associations who did not retrofit their pools to comply with the federal Act must comply with the state requirements by July 1, 2010. By September 30, 2010, they must file a compliance form showing that the pool modifications were performed by a licensed contractor. The California Department of Public Health is to create a form and post it on its website, www.cdph.ca.gov.
Until January 1, 2010, California law required associations and management companies (and other businesses) to destroy records containing personal information when they were no longer needed. This amendment allows the association to dispose of the documents instead of destroying them. Still, the records must be “disposed of” by shredding them or otherwise making the personal information unreadable. “Personal information” includes owners’ names, signatures, social security numbers, physical characteristics or description, addresses, telephone numbers, passport numbers, driver's license or state identification card numbers, insurance policy numbers, education, employment, employment history, bank account numbers, credit card numbers, debit card numbers, or any other financial information, medical information, or health insurance information.
By January 1, 2014, when making certain building alterations, owners must replace noncompliant plumbing fixtures with water-conserving fixtures.
By January 1, 2017, all noncompliant plumbing fixtures must be replaced with water-conserving plumbing fixtures. A seller or transferor of a unit must disclose in writing to the buyer or transferee whether the plumbing complies to water conservation requirements.
By January 1, 2014, if the building is modified to increase the building’s floor space by more than 10%, all fixtures in must be replaced with water-conserving plumbing fixtures. If the multifamily building is making alterations with a total cost of over $150,000, all noncompliant plumbing fixtures in the affected areas must be replaced. If any work requiring a permit is being done to a room in that building, any noncompliant plumbing fixtures in that room must be replaced.
By January 1, 2019, a seller or transferor of a unit in the building must disclose in writing to the buyer or transferee whether the plumbing complies to water conservation requirements.
These requirements do not apply to registered historical sites or to buildings where a licensed plumber certifies that the replacement is not technically feasible.
