Central serous retinopathy
|Central serous retinopathy
|An occurrence of central serous retinopathy of the fovea centralis imaged using Optical coherence tomography.
|Classification and external resources
Central serous retinopathy (CSR), also known as central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC or CSCR), is an eye disease which causes visual impairment, often temporary, usually in one eye.[1][2] When the disorder is active it is characterized by leakage of fluid under the retina that has a propensity to accumulate under the central macula. This results in blurred or distorted vision (metamorphopsia). A blurred or gray spot in the central visual field is common when the retina is detached. Reduced visual acuity may persist after the fluid has disappeared.[1]
The disease is considered of unknown cause. It mostly affects white males in the age group 20 to 50 and occasionally other groups. The condition is believed to be exacerbated by stress or corticosteroid use.[3]
CSR is a fluid detachment of macula layers from their supporting tissue. This allows choroidal fluid to leak beneath the retina. The build-up of fluid seems to occur because of small breaks in the retinal pigment epithelium.
CSR is sometimes called idiopathic CSR which means that its cause is unknown. Nevertheless, stress appears to play an important role. An oft-cited but potentially inaccurate conclusion is that persons in stressful occupations, such as airplane pilots, have a higher incidence of CSR.
CSR has also been associated with cortisol and corticosteroids. Persons with CSR have higher levels of cortisol.[4] Cortisol is a hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex which allows the body to deal with stress, which may explain the CSR-stress association. There is extensive evidence to the effect that corticosteroids (e.g. cortisone) — commonly used to treat inflammations, allergies, skin conditions and even certain eye conditions — can trigger CSR, aggravate it and cause relapses.[5][6][7] A study of 60 persons with Cushing's syndrome found CSR in 3 (5%).[8] Cushing's syndrome is characterized by very high cortisol levels. Certain sympathomimetic drugs have also been associated with causing the disease.[9]
Evidence has also implicated helicobacter pylori (see gastritis) as playing a role.[10][11][12] It would appear that the presence of the bacteria is well correlated with visual acuity and other retinal findings following an attack.
Evidence also shows that sufferers of MPGN type II kidney disease can develop retinal abnormalities including CSR caused by deposits of the same material that originally damaged the glomerular basement membrane in the kidneys.[13]
The diagnosis usually starts with a dilated examination of the retina, followed with confirmation by optical coherence tomography and fluorescein angiography. The angiography test will usually show one or more fluorescent spots with fluid leakage. In 10%-15% of the cases these will appear in a "classic" smoke stack shape.
Indocyanine green angiography can be used to assess the health of the retina in the affected area which can be useful in making a treatment decision. An Amsler grid can be useful in documenting the precise area of the visual field involved. The affected eye will sometimes exhibit a refractive spectacle prescription that is more far-sighted than the fellow eye due to the decreased focal length caused by the raising of the retina.
The prognosis for CSR is generally excellent.[1] Whilst immediate vision loss may be as poor as 20/200 in the affected eye, clinically over 90% of patients regain 20/30 vision or better within 6 months.
Once the fluid has resolved, by itself or through treatment, visual acuity should continue to improve and distortion should reduce as the eye heals. However, some visual abnormalities can remain even if visual acuity is measured at 20/20, and lasting problems include decreased night vision, reduced color discrimination, and localized distortion caused by scarring of the sub-retinal layers.[14]
Complications include subretinal neovascularization and pigment epithelial detachment.[15]
The disease can re-occur causing progressive vision loss. There is also a chronic form, titled as type II central serous retinopathy, which occurs in approximately 5% of cases. This exhibits diffuse rather than focalized abnormality of the pigment epithelium, producing a persistent subretinal fluid. The serous fluid in these cases tends to be shallow rather than dome shaped. Prognosis for this condition is less favorable and continued clinical consultation is advised.
Differential diagnosis should be immediately performed to rule out retinal detachment, which is a medical emergency. Additionally, a clinical record should be taken to keep a timeline of the detachment.
Most eyes with CSR undergo spontaneous resorption of subretinal fluid within 3–4 months, recovery of visual acuity usually follows. Any ongoing corticosteroid treatment should be tapered and stopped, where possible. It is important to check current medication, including nasal sprays and creams, for ingredients of corticosteroids, if found seek advice from a medical practitioner for an alternative.
Patients sometimes present with an obvious history of psychosocial stress, in which case counselling and expectancy is relevant.
Treatment should be considered if resorption does not occur within 3–4 months,[16] spontaneously or as the result of counselling.[1]
Laser photocoagulation, which effectively burns the leak area shut, may be considered in cases where there is little improvement in a 3 to 4-month duration, and the leakage is confined to a single or a few sources of leakage at a safe distance from the fovea. However, for many cases the leak is very near the central macula, where photocoagulation would leave a blind spot or the leakage is widespread and its source is difficult to identify. Foveal attenuation has been associated with more than 4 months' duration of symptoms, however a better long-term outcome has not been demonstrated with laser photocoagulation than without photocoagulation.[1] Laser photocoagulation can permanently damage vision where applied. Carefully tuned lasers can limit this damage.[17] Even so, laser photocoagulation is not a preferred treatment for leaks in the central vision and is considered an outdated treatment by some doctors.[16]
In chronic cases, transpupillary thermotherapy has been suggested as an alternative to laser photocoagulation where the leak is in the central macula.[18]
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) with verteporfin has shown promise as an effective treatment with minimal complications.[19] Follow up studies have confirmed the treatment's long-term effectiveness[20] including its effectiveness for the chronic variant of the disease.[21] Indocyanine green angiography can be used to predict how the patient will respond to PDT.[16][22]
Yellow micropulse laser has shown promise in very limited trials.[3]
Other experimental treatments include anti-VEGFs and several oral medications.[23]
Low dosage ibuprofen has been shown to quicken recovery in some cases, whilst avoiding naturally occurring blood thinners such as garlic, turmeric, cinnamon, which can enhance leakage from capillaries behind the retina.[24]
A Cochrane review seeking to compare the effectiveness of various treatment for CSR found low quality evidence that half-dose PDT treatment resulted in improved visual acuity and less recurrence of CSR in patients with acute CSR, compared to patients in the control group.[25] The review also found benefits in micropulse laser treatments, where patients with acute and chronic CSR had improved visual acuity compared to control patients.[25]

I find his apparel quite chic...he really should accessorize with heels though for the complete "look" :-DScott
Only if he wears open leather chaps..... :-D

This makes me laugh.
Has anyone seen the 2 times he was on Dirty Jobs before he got his own show? He really did look less like a rock star and more like an exterminator.
Ah yes....the one much often dragged out video used over and over to crap on Billy. Too bad we don't have a video for some other people's more less than intelligent moments, where we could replay it over and over, and over. :roll:People in glass houses...... ;)Here is a guy that nobody has one good thing to say anything about. People take his 1-2% of the things they don't like, and stretch it out to 100% and beyond. Glad I don't have judgemental friends like that. It would be hard to get over my 1-2%...or even my 5-10% ;)
Very little that I could be ashamed of...I guess I'm just slick enough not to get caught too often :-DScott

Puppy with a Fever
My new 7 week puppy received his first bath yesterday and today he hasn't eaten or drank any water and has been sleepy all day. He has a fever of 102.3. Is it possible he caught a cold? He has already had his first vaccinations. No diahrea yet. He has been urinating fine and poops look normal. What can I do to help him?? Please help I'm really worried about him.
Thank you!

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
actually 100 - 102.5 is actually a normal temperature for dogs.
sometimes dogs wont eat or drink. he could just be exhausted or overwhelmed. it could also be that he is homesick. when dogs are stressed, they may become either hyperactive or lethargic.
just try to make him as comfortable as you can. and try to keep it as lo stress as possible (limit the number of new activities/experiences) until he is better.

may just be a reaction to the vaccines as well, they don't absorb totally over night. There can be a delay in reaction in some dogs weeks after injection. But your puppy's temperature is normal, and if urine and feces is normal I wouldn't worry at this point. If he had a cold he would do what you do when you have cold, cough, sneeze and have a runny nose and you would probably hear a change in his breathing or respiration rate if their was congestion in the lungs.
Taser answered on 8/31/08. Helpful? / 1
102 for a temp is actually a normal body temperature for a dog. Did he recently get vaccinated? A lot of times puppies have reactions to their vaccines, and they act lethargic, and don't eat or drink a lot. How long has he not had water for? If it is more than a day, take him to your vet for an IV. Puppies that young can easily get dehydrated, so fluids are important. It is not possible for dogs to catch colds. Dogs only get sick from other dogs.

UPDATE 2-Garmin Q4 profit tops Street, warns on margins
* Q4 adj EPS $1.43 vs est $0.95
* Disappointed by nuvifone sales
* Sees falling margins in 2010
* Sees weak PND sales in 2010
(Recasts, adds details, share movement)
Feb 24 (Reuters) - No. 1 U.S. navigation device maker Garmin (GRMN.O: Cotización) posted quarterly results that topped Wall Street expectations as it sold more units, but warned that falling prices and increased competition could hurt margins in 2010.
The company's shares rose about 3 percent in volatile pre-market trading on better-than-expected results.
The personal navigation market -- once a duopoly of Garmin and Dutch rival TomTom (TOM2.AS: Cotización) -- has become increasingly crowded, with Google (GOOG.O: Cotización) and Nokia NOK1V.HE joining the fray by offering free navigation software. For the fourth quarter, the company posted earnings of $1.43 cents a share, excluding items, beating analysts' expectations of 95 cents a share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. [ID:nWNAB1042].
Gross margins for the period rose by more than 4 percentage points to 46 percent as price declines slowed. Revenue from its biggest segment - automotive/mobile - fell 2 percent to $812 million. Continuación...

Okey here is the deal!
I'm an web developer based in Sweden. I have soon bought over 50 items at Themeforest and many of these items i'm not pleased with. Some have issues all the time and some gets me think if this really is good work. I will soon start to create themes so be ready for quality.
Please Envato make higher quality of the themes.
- Joacim
Out of experience within support questions are not theme related.
Half are customers who do not read the help file correctly. 33% are customers who cant use wordpress correctly because they are new to it. and the remainder is there are issues with old plugins that have not been updated.
Not saying all themes have no bugs in, because i have come across a few on themes i have customised from themeforest for clients. But in general i do not think its 100% theme issues
I agree with you, but! I can not understand how some themes get approved by Envato. Some themes is just a mess.
Sorry if I made that little unkindly but I when i pay money I want quality. I can pay 200$ for a theme that has been approved and works. But i wont pay 45$ for theme that doesn't work.

I totally agree with you, if a theme is broken the author should fix because it is not fair for the customer.

The new owner chased off our SA (sales assoc.), and I am bummed. Wait - is SA the Service Advisor or Sales Associate? I'm thinking it's the former! We're still finding our groove with our SA, but he's a great guy that keeps us informed when the car is in for any service. I think he likes to eat, so maybe I'll bring them some homemade brownies!
Poor coontie - I wonder how far he'll have to drive for service now, and has FLOW put out a APB on him to the local dealers?

According to Turkish newspaper Sabah, Newcastle United are in talks about Besiktas 27 year-old attacking midfielder Manuel Fernandes.
Manuel Fernandes – Besiktas attacking midfielder
The 9 times capped Portuguese International joined the Turkish club two years ago from Valencia for an undisclosed fee, and has only one year left of his three-year contract.
Fernandes was born in Lisbon and is an attacking central midfielder, who has good technique, fine dribbling skills and his passing is good, and he has an excellent shot from distance.
Besiktas have been trying to get a deal done for their Portuguese International, but have been unsuccessful, which is why presumably Newcastle have been alerted, and of course Newcastle have to keep tabs on central midfielders, just in case we lose Yohan Cabaye in this transfer window.
And it's interesting that Alan Pardew recently said that he admired Portuguese players because of their skills, technique and professionalism, so it wouldn't be too much of a surprise if Newcastle were after some Portuguese players this summer.
And Fernandes has Premier League experience too, having had loan spells at Portsmouth (2006) and Everton (2007) while he was at his first club Benfica, and another loan spell at Everton (2008) while he was at Valencia in La Liga.
Manuel joined Benfica back in 2002, and stayed there for five years before he joined Valencia in August of 2007, on a six-year contract for the Spanish side in a deal worth a massive £12M – and the deal included a £51M buy-out clause. 🙁
Fernandes in action for Portugal against Poland 18 months ago
Fernandes stayed at Valencia for four years before moving two years ago to Besiktas, and the player has also been closely linked with West Ham, Sunderland and Southampton.
There are no reports on what the fee may be for the Portuguese International play-maker, who turns 28 next February.
The right-footed player as listed as worth around £12M on the transfermarkt.co.uk web-site – but Newcastle would only pay that if they sell Cabaye for say £25M.
What do you think?

That's it. Done adult-ing.
The bedrooms of these uber stylish children are lessons in good taste. Plus, get great ideas for decorating boys rooms, girls rooms, and baby nurseries.
In the Westchester, New York, home of designer Katie Ridder and architect Peter Pennoyer, their daughter resides in a dreamy oasis infused with springtime colors. A custom-made window treatment hangs above a headboard designed by Lisa Fine, the bedding is by Leontine Linens, the lacquer bedside tables are by Bungalow 5 and the striped carpet is by Paul H.

The phrase "reclaimed barn wood" and the Ritz-Carlton don't seem to belong together, but the architects and interior designers who collaborated on Unit 5F in the West End Residences at the Ritz-Carlton at 1111 23rd St. NW didn't let that stop them from creating a unique home.
Listed for sale at $3.25 million, this 3,250-square-foot unit has reclaimed barn wood flooring purposely left rough and painted white throughout the home to add what designer Darryl Carter called a "graceful yet casual base" to the condo. The open loft-style layout includes sliding wall panels made of raw porcelain by artist Margaret Boozer that can be used to separate the dining room and formal living room from the family room, kitchen and bedrooms.
The unit — one of the largest in the building — has three bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, two balconies and two garage parking spaces. The master bedroom has a private balcony, a sitting area with floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding walls of storage shelves. The master bathroom has extensive stonework, and the two additional bedrooms each have a marble bathroom and custom-built floor-to-ceiling bookshelves.

Be prepared mentally for a little yelling. Be prepared mentally for a little cursing. Directed at you! Be prepared for yelling between the foredeck and the cockpit crews.
I try to never raise my voice at my crew. I've been sworn at like you wouldn't believe on some boats.
Just be prepared for it. At the start, at a mark rounding, dousing or gybing the spinnaker, heavy traffic, crossing situations, things can get tense and exciting. Just remember, no one means it. The whole crew is under stress, that's all.
Also DON'T talk to other boats, yell "Starboard" or something. That is up to the skipper.
Be early. If the skipper says everyone at the dock at 10, be there at 9:45. Be the first to arrive and the last to leave.
Help with everything getting the boat ready and putting her away.
I usually like to answer when given an order. For example, if asked to ease the jib sheet, reply "easing the jib sheet".
Also, don't underemphasize the importance of promptness. One of my least experienced crew is always early and he gets Big bonus points, as I do not like changing sails or doing other prep work all by myself. One of my more experienced guys is severely time-challenged, requires "reminder" calls an hour or so before the race starts and I finally had to announce a rule that we would be off the mooring at a specific time because we got so sick of waiting.
If you work your way into the regular rotation, make sure you give as much notice as possible when you can't make it, as it there is nothing more maddening than finding out that you are short-handed at the last minute and trying to cover.
Finally, some degree of yelling may be inevitable, but if you get on a boat where you are being abused, try your best to find another boat. Life is too short and it's supposed to be fun.
|Thanks DrB. That draws a pretty realistic picture. I appreciate it.
Wow, great advice, but some pretty....
militant answers.
First off, if it's a local beer can race, relax, it isn't the America's Cup. Second, your main goal for a first race is to stay out of the way if you are not assigned to job. If you do that well, you'll have done well. If you are given a job, ask what the job entails and who you take orders from. On some boats the skipper gives the orders on other boats, another person oversees the activities and the skipper just drives. Be very clear on who directs you and don't listen to anyone except that person during the activity.
If you can practice the job before hand on the way to the start, do it. Do not focus on anything else except your activity when you are doing it. If your are in charge of trimming the mainsail, do not get concerned about what is going on with other sails unless they affect you. There are other folks that are tasked with those activities, let them figure it out.
If you are just "railmeat", move when told and keep quiet during the sail. If you are on the rail pay attention to the other locations of other boats, wind shifts, etc. Lot's of commands are being given throughout the race and general banter is not advised. Socializing is for after the race. That being said, low voice talking with your railmeat neighbor is ok as long as it does not affect your main function on the boat.
As others have said, yelling or loud speaking will occur. That's okay as long as it is not derogatory. When it becomes personal, think about getting onto another boat next time. You should not tolerate that type of abuse. Captains or crew that verbal abuse their crew are a$$holes IMO and lack both people and sailing skills. I have been on boats that have this type of personality and it just plain stinks. Sailing is supposed to be fun even racing.
I you haven't already raced on this boat, fire an email to the Captain, introduce yourself, tell them about your sailing "resume" and ask what to bring. Bring what you need and not anything more.
When the race is over, help getting the boat put back together. If you liked the experience, captain, crew, and boat, say so to the captain and ask if he/she will have you back. If you didn't and they ask, be upfront and honest and let them know why, even if you need to talk to them out of earshot of others. Folks do appreciate feedback good or bad. Don't be mean about it. For example if a crew member was all over you for making a mistake, say to the captain, "While I enjoyed the overall experience, person A was riding me pretty hard about X mistake. It was my first race and I'm still learning the in and outs. etc. I didn't really appreciate them continuing the badgering well after the incident" See what happens from there. The Cap'n may not have been aware of it and act upon it. Good crew is hard to find as are good boats.
One last piece of advice - Go with an open mind, willingness to listen and observe and work hard, and be enthusiastic.
|Seems like there is some really good advice here
|Winches go clockwise. Dumb advice, but lot's of new folks will wrap a winch the wrong way when under pressure. Other advice is to let those around you know exactly what you haven't done on a boat. They need to put you in a positions where you'll do the most good while doing the least harm!
be prepared

I usually like to answer when given an order. For example, if asked to ease the jib sheet, reply "easing the jib sheet".
Unless you're assigned to a function that requires you to be in the cockpit, stay out of the cockpit. The people who need to be there, need room to stand with good balance and room to swing their arms, and that makes the cockpit very crowded.
Only bring food if it's a long race or multiple races in a day. (Check with the skipper first, however, because skippers commonly bring a cooler of food and sandwiches for crew in such situations.) Also, any food or drinks that you bring have to be stored and/or cooled, and the skipper might not want to deal with anything other than what he brings for the crew.
When you begin crewing, you need to be aware that you might be creating a "butt cleat" almost anywhere you sit on the boat, so be sure you aren't sitting on any control lines or sheets. If you're working in the cockpit, get the sheets off the floor after every tack. You can't get good footing and balance if you're standing on line, and you can't tail a sheet if someone is standing on the lazy sheet.
When you see that you're likely to tack or make some other maneuver soon, such as, when approaching a mark or crossing tacks with another boat, get in position in advance, and get prepared for the maneuver. Don't wait until the last second to get in position, and don't wait for the skipper to tell you to do so. Think about those things for yourself, and be prepared, in case the skipper has to make a sudden tack to keep clear of a privileged boat, or if he tacks suddenly to follow a wind shift.
Some skippers and crewmembers want a minimum of conversation, so they can concentrate on sail trim and tactics, and wind shifts and helming and tacking, etc. Other skippers and crewmembers are willing to answer questions while racing. Determine which type of people are manning the boat and only ask questions if they are receptive to them. When they're obviously very busy, don't ask questions or make unnecessary conversation.
If a line gets fouled or something goes wrong somewhere else on the boat, don't rush to that place to help correct it. You might get in the way of the people who are already there to correct it. Only intervene if you are asked to do so, or if you're absolutely certain your help is needed and that you can help. You should trust that your other crew members are at least as capable as you of dealing with the problem.
If you make a mistake, forget about it and go on from there. Dwelling on a mistake, in your mind, will almost guarantee that you'll get nervous and drop the skipper's favorite winch handle over the side or make another mistake later.
Have fun!
Catalina 27, hopefully they won't be too serious, not exactly formula 1, but they do have a very good one design fleet. If it's mix fleet racing, then it should be a cake walk. The 27 will probably like 5-6 on board max. So if you show up and there's 3 others, you'll be busy...
Try to move like a cat. Not a linebacker. The 27 is a heavy steady boat, but if you get a 250 lbs rhino jumping on the bow, it doesn't go to fast.
And don't worry, as soon as you get all the in's and out's of the boat straightened out, you'll move to another boat.

Insane Clown Posse's Violent J On What to Expect at the Gathering
Beginning today, the Twelfth Annual Gathering of the Juggalos goes down in Cave-In-Rock, Illinois, and if its bizarre infomercials and past performances suggest anything, it will be four solid days of facepainted mayhem. We stopped Violent J on his way to Circus Magurkus whorehouse and asked him what things a newbie should know before attending the Gathering.
Everyone is your friend
"Even if they seem different. That's the best thing about the Gathering—everyone's accepted, no matter how you look, how you talk. People think a bunch of Juggalos will beat you up or make fun of your for not being a Juggalo. It's not true. They will offer you a cheeseburger."
Don't expect to get any sleep
"The nighttime is when the Gathering comes alive. The sun comes up, that's bedtime. Expect to sleep from when the sun comes up until about three or four in the afternoon."
Watch out for golf carts
"Expect golf carts to come racing through the grounds at night with drunk artists on them, including yours truly. There's no police on the grounds—it's private property."
The performers are part of the Gathering
"Expect to see the performers in ways you've never seen them. Probably Charlie Sheen included. The Gathering is so special, so different, that the performers get into it and do insane things. You never know who you're going to find wandering from campsite to campsite naked. And this thing brings out the weirdest shit in people."

change of venue, Dennis Woodward, Elisabeth Gunter, hearing, Howell County, Joy Dishneau, murder, Naturally Enchanted, trial, West Plains MO
West Plains, Mo. — Defense attorneys for Dennis Ray Woodward, accused of the Jan. 2 murder of Joy Dishneau, owner of Naturally Enchanted, have filed a motion for a change of venue.
A change of venue hearing has been set for 2 p.m. April 2 in West Plains before 37th Judicial Circuit Court Judge David Evans.
If the change of venue is granted, a trial date will be set in the new county.
Thus far the prosecution has not yet made a decision whether or not to seek the death penalty for Woodward, according to assistant prosecuting attorney Rizwan Ahad.
Woodward was arraigned March 5, at which time he pled not guilty to the four counts against him.
Woodward — along with Elisabeth E. Gunter — is charged with 1st degree murder, 1st degree armed criminal action, 1st degree robbery and 1st degree tampering with a motor vehicle.
Since his arrest in January, Woodward has maintained that his accomplice Elisabeth Gunter carried out Dishneau's murder and robbery. He told police that he went with Gunter to Dishneau's home/business in Caulfield, Mo., when he found the back door was locked he returned to the truck and waited for Gunter .
Gunter on the other hand contends that Woodward kicked in the back door and she waited on the step while he killed Dishneau.
The two defendants' charges and countercharges are detailed in the probable cause statement, which can be found by clicking HERE.
Gunter has not yet been arraigned, or had a preliminary hearing. During her first appearance in court defense attorney Steven Lynxwiler of Poplar Bluff asked for a continuance due to his client's inability to cooperate with him to prepare a defense. This he contended was due to her agitated state due to having been denied medication.
Gunter's preliminary hearing has since been scheduled for 9 a.m. March 21 in West Plains.
Both Gunter and Woodward are being held by Howell County on $2.5 million bond each.

Anger management
01 March 2014 , 7:09 AM by Rob Minshull
A recent newspoll survey said more than three quarters of Brisbane drivers have been sworn at or had rude gestures directed at them in the last 12 months.
Is that a surprising statistic or is anger is a natural, necessary and healthy part of our make up?
Steve Laurent has written a book called The Anger Fallacy.
His top 10 tips for reducing anger are:
1. Understand that anger is a problem
2. Feel the anger and DON'T do it anyway
3. Look after yourself
4. Film yourself angry: the Federer cure
5. Understand the ultimate source of your anger: shoulding
6. Challenge your rules
7. Think like a scientist, not a lawyer
8. Empathise
9. Get your facts straight
10. Monitor your anger

A Horse as Personal Life Coach?
Annette Price, Nederland. If you are ready to try something new, solve a personal riddle, or take up the reins of your life and drive your buggy towards a more fulfilling life, then join Sheila Ranegar and me for a workshop series being offered at Nederland Equestrian School.
As a Certified Equine Gestalt Coach, I have been studying the benefits to my clients of working with horses as coaching partners. Through the years, horses have been there for us: pulling our wagons, plowing our fields, carrying us on their backs and our soldiers into battle. I am thrilled to witness other gifts these magnificent creatures have added to their repertoire: stress management, personal empowerment, and teaching us how to find more joy in everyday life.
With week-end retreats, or a one-on-one personal session, participants gather for a fun-filled adventure moving through exercises and experiences geared towards the needs of the individuals – assisted by an equine partner. Yes, a horse!
What does this look like? Here is a little story about a woman we'll call Mandy, who came to us at a crossroads in her business career. She had worked long and hard to get where she was and had accomplished most of her career goals. Recently she had been offered a very interesting promotion with a satisfying jump in earnings and benefits. But this was not a decision to be made lightly especially as it meant starting over to a certain degree and relocating to another state.
In the round pen we placed two beautiful black and white horses. I asked Mandy to identify which horse would personify her "Status Quo" and which would represent "The Future." On one side stood a very handsome Paint gelding. She told him of all of the benefits of staying in her present position: living in the home she loved, surrounded by marvelous friends, and secure in the life she had created.
On the other side of the arena stood a gorgeous Gypsy Vanner horse, long wavy mane, hair any woman would envy. To this horse, Mandy spoke of the accomplishment this new job projected. She dreamed of all the wonderful places she could finally afford to visit with such an amazing increase in salary, how she could help her mother and how wonderful that would feel.
Mandy went back and forth across the round pen as she thought of different things to tell these two horses for as long as she needed. And then I asked her to take a moment and really look at the horses and tell me what she saw.
One horse was practically asleep, neck dropped and eyes closed. I asked Mandy what this represented, or felt like, to her. "Well, I feel as if I have bored this creature to death. This is not exciting or inspiring in any way."
The other horse was looking right at Mandy and when their eyes met, the horse turned away and took two steps. She stopped and looked back at the woman. I asked Mandy what this horse was saying to her. "She is ready to go and will leave without me if I don't catch up. She is asking me what I am waiting for."
"Do you want to catch up?" I asked.
Gestalt Coaching is based on the theory that every person has direct access to their own answers, but sometimes we need a little help getting out of our own way. "Equine" Gestalt is based on the theory that a lesson learned with the help of a nine hundred pound coach will be a lesson that is hard to forget.
Did we mention fun? Sure there can be tears as we shed unnecessary baggage, but there can also be spontaneous laughter and shouts of joy.
Remember—the answer to her question is Mandy's to make. The horses had not listened to her words. They don't care if she lives in Colorado or not. They looked into her energy field, noted her inner and possibly unconscious power, wisdom, and passion. They simply reflected back to her the energy that she projected as she verbally worked her way through her issue. She was free to do as she chose, but she now had visible tangible data to work with.
For Mandy it was a beautiful experience and she felt a strong connection with the horses even though their size had intimidated her in the beginning. She quietly shared tears with the horses as she hugged each one and thanked them for sharing their gift.
Sheila and I have wonderful horses to work/play with and three one-day retreats scheduled for you to choose from. Pick a date or come to all three, and bring a friend for a discount! You do not need horse experience to benefit from the gifts they have to offer.
August 9th, September 6th, and October 4th, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. RSVP is required!

Electronics giant Sony announced today that it will lay off 1,000 of its U.S. employees at Sony Electronics by the end of this year. It will also close 20 of its U.S stores.
"Sony Electronics confirmed a total staff reduction of one-third by the end of the calendar year, affecting approximately 1,000 employees across all sites," the company said in a statement.
The layoffs come less than a month after it was announced that the Japanese tech company is expecting losses of over $1 Billion by the end of the fiscal year.
On the company's website, President and COO of Sony electronics, Mike Fasulo wrote:
"While these moves were extremely tough, they were absolutely necessary to position us in the best possible place for future growth. I am entirely confident in our ability to turn the business around, in achieving our preferred future , and continue building in our flawless commitment to customer loyalty through the complete entertainment experience only Sony can offer."
Unfortunately for Sony it appears that customers believe that other companies can offer a better experience. The companies loses come as electronics consumers have been favoring commenting brands of smart phones, personal computers and televisions.
While only 1,000 of Sony's American employees are expected to be laid off, the company has also said that it will reduce its workforce by 5,000 worldwide by the end of 2014.

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
Formed in 1960, LCHS has since been dedicated to matching families with homeless pets and educating the community about responsible pet ownership, including spaying and neutering. Each year, LCHS adopts out more than 500 pets and provides spay/neuter assistance for many more. Our dedicated Board of Directors, advisors, staff, and over 300 volunteers work tirelessly to socialize and provide companionship to all of our animals.
The Leon County Humane Society (LCHS) is a 501(c)3 non-profit, private organization, supported by individuals and businesses in our community and strong partnerships with other animal service organizations and animal welfare alliances.
We are not affiliated with or funded by any national humane groups or governmental agencies and must rely on donations to bring our services to the community.
Our Mission
-To relieve animal suffering
-To prevent animal cruelty
-To eliminate overpopulation of animals
-To promote humane education
-To enhance the human/animal bond
The Leon County Humane Society is Tallahassee's largest no kill, non-profit animal welfare organization dedicated to saving Tallahassee's homeless pets by educating our community about responsible pet ownership and reducing pet overpopulation through programs like Spay/Neuter, Rescue Ride, and Friends Fur Life. Because we are a no-kill organization, we are also a "limited intake" shelter.
The Leon County Humane Society works closely with other animal welfare agencies in the community and transfers animals in from other shelters that euthanize for space, including the Tallahassee Leon Community Animal Services Center (City Shelter). We do not take animals in from the public.
Once an animal is accepted in our foster and adoption program they are not euthanized for space reasons. Unless there are medical or behavioral issues that develop, deeming an animal un-adoptable, a cat or dog will stay in our adoption program until they find their forever home.
Tallahassee is an APSCA Partnership Community, and LCHS is thrilled to be one of the organizations included in this innovative program. Over the next 3-5 years, the Partnership organizations and ASPCA will be working together to reduce the homeless pet population in Tallahassee and provide much needed resources for the pets in our area
Our process:
Adopting a companion animal from LCHS involves a few simple steps...
View our adoptable animals, and select the pet(s) you are interested in adopting.
Talk to the animal(s) foster parent: Give our office a call at 224-9193 and talk with one of our adoption counselors. They will put you in touch with the animal(s)' foster parent.
Some foster parents prefer to be contacted directly. If that is the case, the pet's profile will have a link to directly email their foster parent.
Fill out an adoption questionnaire.
If both you and the foster parent feel that it is a good match, make an appointment to do the adoption paperwork at our office.
Have a home visit completed by an LCHS representative.
We believe in making the best match between pet and person, so our requirements tend to be based on the needs of the animal.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

The Most Talked-About VASER Lipo Transformations - 10 Before and Afters [PHOTOS]
*Treatment results may vary
10 before-and-after photos from RealSelfers who have tried VASER Liposuction.
Thinking of mitigating that muffin top? VASER Liposuction involves dissolving unwanted fat via high-energy sound waves (commonly known as ultrasound). Once the fat is turned into a liquid, it's then suctioned away, and the hope is this reduces your recovery time.
So, how do you decide if VASER or traditional liposuction (which skips the ultrasound step) is right for you? Never fear. We've pulled together 10 of the most talked about VASER Liposuction transformations (the ones that RealSelfers commented on the most) so you can see for yourself.
Take a look at their before-and-after pics, along with a little update on their progress.

RedHeadNTexas: Texas Girl
"I have always been unhappy with the shape and size of my thighs. I never wanted to go to the pool...I had a hard time finding pants. I am pretty small, so they were VERY noticeable.

I saw this story on Yahoo, their front page.
"Not even the Ravens' very own website can stop from poking Cundiff with a sharp stick. This wasn't a message board or a comments section, either ‒ it wasn't even an editorial piece. It was the team's web store."
About how the Ravens organization had smeared thier own kicker, because the Ravens own team store was selling his jersey with the remark "Arrives in 3-5 full bus. days at the house to the left of yours".
But when I looked on the Ravens home page I could find no such jersey or remark. . Appears yahoo got their facts wrong and posted a false story about the Ravens organization.
Is it that hard for the author to google.
Yahoo's link says the Ravens are "smearing their own player". But they are not, the store they think is the Ravens store is apparently some other store which sells NFL merchandise.
What really burns me is their are all these comments on the Yahoo story about how this shows the Ravens are a classless organization.
saw it on yahoo. you can tell from the 'tree' that it's not the official store. but hey facts never stopped a good story
It is from http://www.shoppingravens.com/
Now they've retracted it:
'Update: Turns out this is not from the Ravens team store as it's from a fake website. It turns out the joke is on us and we regret the error.'
Not much of an apology, though.
It wasn't difficult to check the facts. Ridiculous.
Yahoo updates the story
Update: Turns out this is not from the Ravens team store as it's from a fake website. It turns out the joke is on us and we regret the error.
I saw this story when I was doing a Yahoo search for something else. It was on their front page, who knows how many thousands of people saw it and now think the Ravens organization was behind this.
I'm glad the story was retracted but the entire story now seems to be pulled from the Yahoo site. If so, very few who saw the original story will see the retraction and unfortuately many will still assume this story was true, that the Ravens were making fun of their own kicker 5 days after the game.
Here is the twitter "handle of the guy who wrote the story.
I might sign up for an account to mess with him

Early Stage Collections
Genpact's early stage collections services offer outbound calls to customers in the early stages of delinquency (usually 2-3 months past due date). Our unique approach helps fine tune the debt recovery process with automated solutions and focused analytics offered by nine global delivery centers.
Our approach focuses on analytics, automated solutions, and qualified people to optimize collections success. We define accounts most likely to roll, run off, self-cure, default on first pay, or respond to treatment by utilizing balance, risk, demographics, performance, psychographically based segmentation, collections/recovery scorecards (account and customer), roll rate models, behavioral risk scorecards, scorecard validations, and monitoring. This gives us the best strategy for treating collections accounts.
Employing analytics helps determine who to contact and what the best time and method of intervention are. Treatment and channel optimization and "Best Time to Call" models ensure that when the call is made, it fits the right timeframe to optimize contact. Segmentation analytics define areas that generate good cash flow with minimal expense, low cash flow, and profiles based on collections attributes for an optimized contact strategy. By utilizing these methods, we can redeploy resources from low to high segments for annual loss savings; for one client, this resulted in a savings of US$3.6 million.
Client: A US Consumer Finance Major
A collections and recoveries Center of Excellence employing 60-plus full time employees experienced a drop in right-party collection contacts from 100 to 15 basis points. This drop from best-in-class status resulted in lower collection efficiency and negatively affected loss goals. Genpact determined that calls were not being placed during the "Best Time to Call" intervals because of low awareness among collectors of the best days and times to place calls. In addition, the same group of collectors worked simultaneously on multiple client and due stage account files, increasing the odds of calls being placed inappropriately. To solve this problem, Genpact aligned agent schedules to meet "Best Time to Call" intervals and created client groups to increase the percentage of attempts and hours within the "Best Time to Call" timeframes. Completion rates rose from 39-70 percent for a US$2.05 million reduction in net losses.
Client: A US Consumer Finance Major
A collections and recoveries Center of Excellence employed over 137 full-time people in outbound collections to contact card holders and made payment arrangements through Payment Promises. A poor rate of promises kept negatively affected the loss goals for the company. Genpact analytics and benchmarking strengths were used to determine that electronic payments were popular among customers but were not being used to its full advantage. Analytics were also used to determine what payment options customers would most benefit from. By training employees on these methods and raising awareness of the popularity of online payment methods, the rate of promises kept increased 13.6 percent for an annualized Net Loss Saving of US$3.4 million.

By TOM ZEBOLD
USF Senior Writer
TAMPA - Last year it was Notre Dame and this year it's Chattanooga.
Ask the USF football team if one season opener is way different from another and you won't get much of a response.
"I don't know if there is ever an easy opener," head coach Skip Holtz said at his first game week press conference of the season on Tuesday.
The Bulls went into last season's debut as the underdogs on the road against a highly hyped Notre Dame team. They grabbed national attention by handing the No. 16 Irish a 23-20 loss at one of the most historic venues in college football.
This year's opening opponent certainly has history – Chattanooga is in its 105th season of football – but the Mocs do play in the FCS Southern Conference. The level of play an opponent normally operates in, or the name of the school lining up against USF doesn't mean much at all to the players, however, who are approaching this one just like a trip to Notre Dame.
"We're not looking past anybody or down the road," senior quarterback B.J. Daniels said. "… This is right now the most important game of my career and it's the first one of my senior year."
One thing to definitely keep in mind is that Saturday's 7 p.m. game at Raymond James Stadium also will be the first for key names on the USF roster, especially on the offensive line, and an opening performance could go a long way in determining playing time as the season progresses.
"They're all auditioning, so to speak, because that first game is like Christmas. You don't know what you're going to open up, even a guy that's played," offensive coordinator Todd Fitch said. "The first game some guys react positively, some react negatively the first time under the lights."
Saturday's opener will present USF with some surprises and it also will reveal what the Bulls will have to work on moving forward. One man that's more than ready for whatever happens looked more like a kid on Christmas day as he talked about USF playing its first game that counts since Dec. 1, 2011.
"It can't get here fast enough, I promise you," Holtz said.
Bonani Could Make More History at Ray Jay
Maikon Bonani is one field goal – or three extra points – away from having his name atop all others in USF history when it comes to career scoring.
Bonani is just three points away from surpassing fellow kicker Santiago Gramatica (246 points from 2001-04) as the program's top scorer of all time. Surprisingly enough, the mention of it was like breaking news to the Bulls' senior specialist.
"First of all, thanks for telling me. I wasn't aware of it," Bonani told a reporter. "… It would be an honor most of all. Coming in as a freshman, it's something you don't really look forward to. Every game you just hope to help your team as much as you can."
Bonani, a former Lake Wales High School star, already owns USF's records for field goals made (51), extra points made in a single game (10 vs. FAMU in 2011), as well as single season and career field goal percentages (81.0, 75.0). All of that has been accomplished despite Bonani missing the entire 2009 season because of a back injury he suffered while working at Busch Gardens when he fell 35 feet from the Skyride.
"Every day is a blessing to be out there. I could have been sidelined forever. Doctors told me I could have been paralyzed or even dead," he said.

Fiqh of Love (Fiqh of Marriage)
- Information
- Course Outline
- Testimonials
If love is blind...then your understanding of it shouldn't be!
Abdullah wants be the ideal Muslim husband. Zaynab dreams of romantic walks on the beach and long conversations over candlelit meals. Their union will be blessed, everyone agrees.
Months later, Abdullah is too busy and too clueless. Zaynab is turning into a nag and is frustrated! Both of them never imaged that marriage would be this...unfulfilling.
Is the honeymoon over? They wonder. What are they doing wrong?
It's been hailed as the most popular AlMaghrib seminar... It's been debated in bedrooms...discussed in boardrooms...deliberated over by eligible bachelors on the basketball courts and eligible sisters in their get-togethers.
We both love the topic and hate that we love it so much. So, let us be done with it.
Attend Fiqh of Love and be done with it. You'll know it all.
Don't talk to me about love and marriage and a baby in a carriage, you'll say. I am a scholar on the subject.
"It is He Who created you from a single person, and made his mate of like nature, in order that he might dwell with her (in love). When they are united, she bears a light burden and carries it about (unnoticed). When she grows heavy, they both pray to Allah their Lord, (saying): "If Thou givest us a goodly child, we vow we shall (ever) be grateful." - Quran 7:189
She lies awake late into the night, wondering if she can open her heart and dare to dream that marriage is plausible. He tosses and turns in his bed, desperately trying to strategize. How can he ensure that his proposal won't be laughed at? He's young. She's young. Young, but so ready.
Is this even right?
Should they wait?
If yes, for how long?
If no, how do they go about it?
Make dua...Take a risk...Make dua...Take a chance...
Before you end up a disenchanted and bitter "confirmed bachelor or bachelorette!"
Out of the darkness, and into the daylight, see what can be!
So, you think you've found someone? But...

How can you broach the subject with your parents?
When you love...
How can you be sure that you've found the right life mate?
When you love...
How will you know if the contracts are done properly?

When you love...
How much can you sacrifice?

Does thinking about your marriage cause you tension or anxiety?
Are you tired of endless fights, anger and disappointment?
Do you desire to make your marriage happier, stronger and better than ever before?
Do you desire to make your union based on the pleasure of Allah SWT so that it will bring you happiness?
Fiqh of Love for when you are already with someone you thought you could be with forever!
So, you say that you've been down that road before? But...
Why are divorced Muslims being looked down upon?
Do you wonder if you'll ever find someone who will turn your world around?
How would you act? What are the rules of engagement?
What are your rights? Your duties? Your responsibilities?

While the staff of TampaSportsFitness continues to deal with the dual disappointments of the Lightning's road record and the removal of wrestling as an Olympic sport, it was suggested by our editor that we go find something to write about that would cheer everyone up. And boy, did we ever.
Now, TampaSportsFitness covers a great deal of running events. We do this for a number of reasons: the bay area weather allows for almost year-round running events, the scenery is wonderful and it emphasizes the notion that running is good for you while biking and swimming is good for you yet more challenging. But TampaSportsFitness also likes to cover offbeat races, such as Tough Mudder and numerous zombie runs that have been making more and more of an appearance lately. And this past week we received notice of an event that piqued our curiosity something fierce.
With that, TampaSportsFitness wants all of our readers to know about the inaugural Tampa Bay Kids Triathlon at (wait for it) Adventure Island on Saturday, March 9, at 7 a.m.
How cool is this?
The event, hosted on Adventure Island season-opening day prior to the park opening at 10 a.m., provides youth the opportunity to run, bike, and swim in and around Busch Gardens' water park.
Focusing on children ages 7-10 (junior varsity division) and 11-15 (varsity division), entrants will receive an Under Armour participant T-shirt, a finisher's medal, as well as the opportunity to purchase Adventure Island single day admission tickets at a discounted cost (up to six), to be able to enjoy the park after the triathlon.
The course for both divisions will be the same, although the varsity division has to loop through each area twice. Starting in the park, participants will swim through the Rambling Bayou lazy river before transitioning to bikes and racing to the Busch Gardens parking lot down the road (using Greenwood Avenue to avoid the traffic on 40th Street). After riding around the exterior of the lot, riders make their way back to the park for a run around the field behind Adventure Island and ending in the volleyball courts.
Registration fees are $35 per participant in advance and $40 on the day of the race. The registration packet will be available for pickup on Friday, March 8, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the registration tent across the street from the event parking lot on Bougainvillea Avenue. Participants are encouraged to pick up their packet and drop off their bikes on Friday to avoid the Saturday morning congestion (registration pickup on Saturday starts at 5:30 a.m.). Overnight security will be provided. After a review for participants at 6:45 a.m., the race will get underway at 7 a.m.
So what's got TampaSportsFitness so excited? In addition to being a child's event that encourages physical and outdoor activity, it combines a triathlon with one of the bay area's signature destinations during one of the best times to be outdoors (provided the weather cooperates, of course). Anyone interested can contact Claire Lessinger at 813-342-4075, or email@example.com.
So how about it, dear readers? Any takers for this event?
