Spasticity is stiff or rigid muscles. It may also be called unusual tightness or increased muscle tone. Reflexes (for example, a knee-jerk reflex) are stronger or exaggerated. The condition can interfere with walking, movement, or speech.
Muscle stiffness; Hypertonia
Spasticity is usually caused by damage to the part of the brain that is involved in movements under your control. It may also occur from damage to the nerves that go from the brain to the spinal cord.
Symptoms of spasticity include:
Spasticity may also affect speech. Severe, long-term spasticity may lead to contracture of muscles. This can reduce range of motion or leave the joints bent.
Spasticity may be caused by any of the following:
This list does not include all conditions that can cause spasticity.
Exercise, including muscle stretching, can help make symptoms less severe. Physical therapy is also helpful.
Contact your health care provider if:
Your doctor will perform a physical exam and ask about your symptoms, including:
After determining the cause of your spasticity, the doctor may refer you to a physical therapist.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Cori Close didn't ask her UCLA players to do a bunch of new things against Oklahoma. She just challenged them to do one thing to try and win each possession.
The Bruins did enough, especially on the boards, to upset the 10th-ranked Sooners 82-76 Sunday for their first win over a ranked opponent in three tries this season.
''We focused on our defense and we just got more possessions,'' Close said. ''We didn't worry about whether they were going perfectly and eventually our offense came.''
Atonye Nyingifa had career highs of 28 points and 16 rebounds, Nirra Fields added a career-best 17 points for the Bruins (2-2), who earlier lost to ranked Nebraska and North Carolina.
''That was the first time we played exactly to the scouting report,'' Fields said.
The Bruins got rebounds from seven of their eight players in dominating the boards, 49-29, including a 20-5 edge on the offensive glass. Fields had nine rebounds and Luiana Livulo had eight before fouling out.
''We worked on it in practice, our team was really aggressive,'' said Nyingifa, a sixth-year senior. ''Those second opportunities really kept us in the game and kept our momentum going.''
Nicole Griffin scored 19 points for the Sooners (4-2), who ended UCLA's postseason hopes last spring with an 85-72 victory in the NCAA tournament.
Sharene Campbell added 13 points and Kaylon Williams 12 before both fouled out in the team's first road game. The Sooners were in foul trouble much of the second half, when Gioya Carter also fouled out and two others had three fouls apiece.
The Sooners got outrebounded for the third straight game.
''That's the one thing that was just abysmal,'' Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale said. ''We made number eleven look like an All-American. At some point, you got to want the ball as much as the other team.''
The final margin represented the largest lead by either team in the half.
Griffin scored inside to draw the Sooners to 77-76 with 1 minute left. Morgan Hook missed a game-tying layup with 17 seconds to go and Aaryn Ellenberg, who scored 11 points on 2 of 13 shooting, also missed in the closing seconds.
''I decided she's going to have to beat me off the dribble,'' said Fields, who held Oklahoma's leading scorer 10 points under her 21-point average.
Ellenberg said, ''We can't come into places like this and lay eggs. We should really beat people. We should have won that game easily.''
The Bruins preserved the upset at the line, where they made 11 of 14 over the final 4:45, but were just 23 of 36 for the game.
Madeline Brooks, a seldom-used junior inserted because of foul trouble, got fouled and made both free throws, and Fields made a pair to close out the win.
''I knew she was going to make the shots,'' Fields said. ''She worked on it in practice and the time came and she pulled through.''
Oklahoma led 69-64 when UCLA ran off nine unanswered points, including five by Fields, to take the lead for good, 73-69.
The Sooners lost Nicole Kornet to a knee injury in the first half.
The Sooners controlled the early part of the game, shooting 61 percent on their way to taking a 30-16 lead that included three consecutive 3-pointers.
The Bruins turned things around over the final 9 1/2 minutes of the half, outscoring Oklahoma 27-13 to go into halftime tied 43-all. Nyingifa scored 14 points, highlighted by grabbing her own offensive rebound and laying it in. Two possessions earlier, Lauren Holiday stole the ball and fed Thea Lemberger, who missed, before Holiday cleaned it up to complete a spurt of eight straight points.
''I tried to use my speed and tried to play taller than I am,'' the 5-foot-11 Nyingifa said. ''Just swarming around or getting a step on them. It's strategy and quickness.''
Holiday, who had never attempted a 3-pointer in her two-year career, made two in the first half. She broke her nose with 8:25 left in the game.
Oklahoma donated 100 pairs to UCLA's shoe drive before the game.

— Yahoo Philippines (@YahooPH) June 18, 2014
It looks like another Super Friend is joining the action in the upcoming "Man Of Steel" movie sequel.
Reports are circling Jason Momoa as Warner Brothers' pick to play Aquaman in "Batman v. Superman: Dawn Of Justice." While the studio has yet to confirm the report, entertainment website HitFix says the former "Baywatch" actor will suit up to play the ocean-loving superhero in a brief appearance in the sequel.
The role will reportedly set him up to return in a follow up "Justice League" movie. Momoa's acting credits also include "Game Of Thrones" and the title role in the 2011 version of "Conan the Barbarian."
Directed by Zack Snyder, "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice" also stars Henry Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman and Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor. The movie is on track for release in May 2016.

Ownyx is a lightweight MVC PHP framework for developing Web sites and Web applications. It is implemented using an object-oriented approach and offers the basics needed for building Web projects. It is easy to use and comes with clear documentation, tutorials, and examples. It also provides a developer toolbar for monitoring and debugging projects in real-time and a query builder that lets you rapidly build MySQL queries and retrieve results in data objects.
The PHP Fat-Free Framework makes it easy to build entire Web sites in a jiffy. With the same power and brevity as modern Javascript toolkits and libraries, Fat-Free helps you write better-looking and more reliable PHP programs. Unlike other frameworks which force you into following a strict set of difficult-to-navigate directory structures and obtrusive programming steps, Fat-Free gives you a lot of freedom and style.
PWF (PHP Web Framework) is an extremely lightweight but powerful PHP Web framework that uses the MVC pattern and object oriented programming. It makes it easier to write applications with clean code and clear architecture, and has a small learning curve. It doesn't need installation and works in most environments. The controller used for each request is selected through simple but effective rules, and the method by the type of the request. It provides database abstraction with data-object mapping.
Quasar Media Player is a light-weight, fast, and convenient media player for mobile systems. It offers many of the features found in modern desktop media players, like fast library overview and filtering along with the ability to handle large libraries very well. It has several unique features that give it unprecedented flexibility on a mobile device, like a zoomable interface for better readability even from a distance, or auto-generated playlists from a set of locations. It offers flexible support and handling of cover art images, and features a cover art album browser and built-in downloader. Quasar is highly configurable and can be operated completely via keyboard, remote control, or touchscreen.
RemiX diskless is a complete and powerful graphical client system, suitable for X server remote desktops or Windows Terminal Server clients. The aim of this project is simplicity of installation and configuration. Key features include X server autoconfiguration and other auto-detection tools, the possibility to customize a single thin client, accessibility of local resources from a desktop client, a Linux desktop client and a Windows desktop client (multi-boot), remote audio (for both systems), localization of user client messages, an automatic installation script, the option to install to a USB stick, and very speedy installation procedures (2 to 4 minutes per client). The expected time between power-on and appearance of the login screen is 15 seconds on a machine with an 800MHz processor and 128MB RAM.
SDLbits is a very lightweight SDL wrapper for Java. This library was designed to be very small and simple. It does not use Swig, but goes directly from "native" Java definitions to the sdlbits C wrapper library to SDL or OpenGL (in C). All symbols are exposed as they would be in C, except the "SDL_" prefix has been removed, since all names are inside the SDL class. The SDL structures from C are translated to very simple Java classes, such as SDL.VideoInfo. Most fields are exposed as read-only "get" methods, but "set" methods for writable members are supported as well. These classes simply interface to the actual C data with a ByteBuffer "pointer".
Swiftlet is a lightweight Web application framework written in PHP. It enables you to quickly deploy Web sites that are fast and secure. Swiftlet is extensible, flexible, and doesn't get in your way. Swiftlet requires zero configuration and has few conventions to which you must adhere. Swiftlet has all the features you would expect from a modern Web application framework. It implements the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture pattern to separate logic from design and takes advantage of the Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) capabilities of PHP 5.
A GUI toolkit for Linux and Android.
A command scheduler for non-permanently-running systems.

Rp 2,100,000+
Friendly helpful staff. Good location convenient to downtown
Good location meant walking distance to all of downtown Asheville as well of easy highway access. Staff was friendly, and the hotel had a hip, modern feel. Cost was high for lack of amenities. Modern design lacked some warmth as well as function. Created a louder atmosphere in a bad way, Doors closing on the floor we stayed could be heard at all hours. Really nothing to 'do' at the hotel so why was the price as high as others in the same area with full bars, restaurants and pools?
Great staff Nice location -- walkable to everywhere downtown Beautiful, spacious room Easy in and out A bit noisy, with highway/main street traffic
I loved the view in our "view" room. The hotel staff were very friendly and the room was so spacious, clean, and comfortable! Bed was amazing, floors were super clean, and the whole experience was amazing. My girlfriend was very happy, and so it made our getaway wonderful. The walking distance to downtown was also one of our favorite features of the hotel. It was definitely worth it. The only thing that held me back a little was the price. I paid $240 with taxes included, and didn't get as high of a floor as we wanted (4th), but it was very quiet and you couldn't really hear the traffic below so it was all good. I would definitely stay again. Knowing this room goes for $400+ on the weekends made me appreciate the value we were getting as well. It was definitely a wonderful experience.
We liked Charles from room service. He was fast and mannerly. This hotel is geared towards businesses and a place for wedding parties. There are charges to make a local call, charges to connect you to a taxi service and a $50 charge is added to your credit card that remains there for 3-5 business days after you've cleared your account. I understand some hotels have this practice, but I was not told the hotel would charge my account in this manner. When I found the charge on my credit card, I had to call the hotel and hang on for many minutes until someone could explain to me what the charge was for. Also, the navigator wasn't too knowledgeable about the surrounding area. The in-hotel restaurant is mediocre but charges $12.00 for a buffet breakfast that is one level above the continental breakfast served at Hampton Inns. I'd skip breakfast at this hotel and go downtown to a great coffee house. We only used the restaurant because we were given 2 $20 vouchers (included in our package). The breakfast wound up costing us $24 + a tip for greek yogurt and fruit. I would not recommend this hotel as my first choice.
The location can't be beat in downtown Asheville.... Walking distance to the festivals, restaurants, bars, etc 1-5blocks away. Rooms are nice, comfortable, modern decor. Lobby is sophisticated yet not stuffy. Barn door to the bathroom is stylish but doesn't provide much privacy or noise limitations when in the bathroom.
the bed. the pillows.
The staff was fantastic! Very accommodating of a late checkout when we got stuck at an event. Top notch!
Location, general comfort, capable staff. Noisy vending area right outside the door; unattached drain cover in the tub; tub faucet handle awkward to operate; main door handle also didn't operate smoothly. For $200+ I expected more attention to detail.
Decor too modern for my taste, very stiff visually and functionally in common areas
Hotel is old and needs updating. Overpriced. Bed was the worst we had ever slept in. TV didn't work. Room was noisy. We were on the 6th floor and could still hear anything that went on in the street. I would not recommend this hotel. Worst part was when I told the front desk about these problems they did not seem to care.
The location in downtown Asheville is great, within walking distance of many restaurants, breweries and shops. The lobby is modern and nice and the staff was very helpful. Free in-room Wi-Fi is nice, albeit a little slow You can tell this is an older hotel that has been remodeled. The bathroom was tiny and not very well lit. The bathroom door didn't latch and the TV reception was poor. We also had to request an extension cord because there were no outlets by the bed to plug a phone in overnight.
The room was clean They mentioned the free bottle of water in the room....hopefully that is enough because there isn't any more anywhere. 1 floor has vending, almost everything sold out. Also shower didn't work right. Not the worst by far but definitely way too much for what you get.
Crummy gym, continental breakfast
I loved that the location was close and everything was within walking distance. Staff were very accommodating and pleasant. The room was clean and the bed was so comfortable. The hotel was very loud, due to the activities and families staying there, but it made it difficult to sleep because every sound traveled through the walls at all hours.
The room was a good size. They allowed pets. The crib was well built. The linens were very clean. We were put in the first room on the bottom floor. It was very loud. It was hard for our 13 month old to sleep and even too loud for us to sleep. The staff wasn't very nice. They almost seemed upset that the hotel was full with evacuees. We had to call the main number to get a group discount applied. The onsite manager had refused to give it to us.
Very good location with accessible parking. Hotel is nice. Excellent value compared to others downtown. Not the most updated rooms.
The site is a step down from a Hampton. It's liveable but basic in all regards. Clanking noises all night, I think from pipes. Water took no kidding 10 minutes to warm up, not hot. Very very little water pressure. It was clean, cheap but I expected more in this space. Not doing a 100% renovation really hurts the Sheraton brand here. Lovely warm staff. Older building, old infrastructure. I wasn't unhappy but it could be much better if they invested in the property.
Great location, close to downtown Nice bar in the lobby everyone was friendly Shower pressure was terrible Elevator was so loud I felt sorry for the people in the 45 rooms down from it Seemed like
Location was great. Pet friendly. Comfortable bed. Bathrooms were in desperate need for an update
It was in a good location to walk to downtown restaurants and breweries if you enjoy the hippie scene that downtown Asheville has to offer. The fire alarms went off in the middle of the night on and off for an hour. When I called the desk to ask if there was an emergency the concierge seemed oblivious to the fact that it was the middle of the night and all of the guests were being woken up by loud alarms. He was entirely unapologetic-- and there was no emergency. Every time I was about to fall back asleep the alarm went off again. Not what I'm looking for when I'm on vacation.
The bed was very comfortable. Bathroom sink counter too small
Nice location to downtown, we were able to walk to everything we wanted to do downtown. The room was fine, however there was a load machine sound in the hallway, someone called our room thinking they were calling the front desk, and housekeeping knocked on our door at 8:30am. The curtains had stains on them making us wonder....
Location is great, staff are very helpful. Fabulous location if you want to walk into downtown Asheville. However it's not as nice as the normal 4 Points - everything is clean but a bit outdated.
Room was great, very spacious and well appointed but a little dated. Staff was excellent. Perhaps it was the downtown location but the street noise, even in an upper level room was very noticeable.
Huge room, but almost too big (not cozy). Staff is super friendly. Location, Location, Location! Nice touch that you get water/champagne upon arrival and a goodie back of water and snack bars for ride home. Free internet. Free breakfast at attached cafe which is decent. Was nice not to feel nickel and dimed. Dated furniture (but it is very well maintained).
Location couldn't be better!! Staff is very welcoming, and the spacious accommodations allowed us to spread out and never feel cramped. Comfy bed. Plenty of drapes to block light and really sleep in if you wish. The adjacent bier garden is a bonus if you want to watch sports, and the bartenders are very friendly.
The Windsor is a beautiful hotel with everything you need on the inside with everything you would want to do within walking distance. I would highly recommend the Windsor for a getaway weekend for couples.
Amazing Hotel. Staff wasn't what I expected for such a high-end hotel. No offer to help with bags or reservations around town. Friendly, just not what I expcted from a $500 p/night hotel.
Location, staff, and rooms The noise level in our hotel room was unbelievable. We were informed that there was a family with 4 children under the age of 8 in the king room above us! I found it unbelievable especially since I had requested a quiet room for my birthday. This obviously did not happen and we found ourselves moving rooms at 11:00 pm! Great hotel but terrible noise insulation in rooms.
Location , decor ,service ,staff all great! The only complaint that I have is that in our room (I don't know about other rooms) the lighting in the bathroom was very inappropriate by the sink which was the only the area where my makeup was to be applied. The other one is that there was no coffee dispener scoop for the coffee maker. Definitely not enough hangers! Other than that it was awesome!
Loved the rustic atmosphere. Staff was super-friendly. Loved that we could open our windows (third floor) onto the street and listen to and watch the city. Very clean and comfortable.
It's clean, well appointed, nicely decorated, and all amenities and facilities were of superior quality and construction. The free breakfast was surprisingly very good, and the staff was warm and friendly. I will stay here again, especially given the price. One drawback is the location...a few blocks away from the action and attractions of downtown. Shouldn't be a problem for anyone but the very infirm or physically challenged, but it is a consideration. A nearby homeless shelter was also a strange neighbor...but...its Asheville. The city population seems to be mostly homeless people so...
Great breakfast. Great beds. No rooftop bar.
Our room wasn't ready when we arrived at 9 pm. Housekeeping walked in our room without knocking at 8:30 AM while we were not dressed. Then housekeeping knocked on our door again at 9:45 AM and again at 11 AM, prior to our 12 PM checkout. I spoke to the front desk and she offered me a free cup of coffee. There was already free coffee in the room. I would have much preferred to actually have had privacy in our room and not bothered by the staff. the staff was rude unaccomodating and closed the bar prior to its stated closing time. We won't stay there again despite frequenting Asheville (in the last 5 months, we have rented luxury hotel rooms 24 nights in downtown Asheville).
Great location. Great staff. Clean. It was very noisy. Lots of traffic noise and lots of noise from the adjoining room
spacious room, nice rooftop bar with view of the mountains. charged for parking, had to move rooms because the remote control blinds wouldn't work.
the mattress and pillows were too soft, and left us wanting for a better night sleep.
Tarah was the staff and helped us so much The booking process through hotels.com didn't work!!! I paid and said I had a confirmation and did t so I paid again when I got there just to get a room. I had to call three times and over 1.5 hours to get a credit that may take 15 days to be credited back to me. RIDICULOUS

Well, it's official: Lone Peak's boys' basketball program is now ranked No. 1 in the nation by MaxPreps.com.
The Knights, at 7-0, topped the Xcellent 25 National Basketball Rankings Monday morning after Simeon Career Academy, the former No. 1 team in the country, lost to DeSoto (Texas) last Thursday 67-57. According to the rankings, it is the first time any Utah high school has been ranked No. 1 overall in the Xcellent 25 nationally in basketball, baseball or football.
Lone Peak coach Quincy Lewis said his Knights are proud to carry the flag for Utah basketball on a national level.
"We certainly feel that," he said Thursday. "It's not so much pressure as we're proud to be able to represent schools and the state. There is good basketball here."
Now that the No. 1 team in America resides in Highland, Utah, it won't have to wait long to have its first thorough test as top dog. The Knights are going to be at the 40th State Farm City of Palms Classic in Fort Myers, Fla., starting Wednesday and are scheduled to face Callaway High School out of Jackson, Miss. Callaway won the Mississippi Class 5A title in 2011 and has a couple of star athletes in 6-foot-7 forward TreShawn Bolden and 6-foot-4 guard Malik Newman.
If the Knights advance past Callaway Wednesday evening, they'll face the winner of Chester (Pa)-Lake Highland Prep (Fla.) Thursday at 3:15 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. Chester is currently riding a 60-game win streak after two victories over the weekend.
Lone Peak junior guard T.J. Haws addressed the spike in the level of talent his Knights will face in Florida this week, but said the team does not prepare any different for a national powerhouse than it does a preseason opponent in Utah.
"I'm very confident going into that tournament with the guys that we have," he said. "If we play our game, we're going to do really well."
The City of Palms Classic will feature the top five teams ranked in the MaxPreps.com Xcellent 25 this week: No. 1 Lone Peak, No. 2 Long Beach Poly (Calif.), No. 3 Chester (Pa.), No. 4 Whitney Young (Chicago, Ill.) and No. 5 Southwind (Memphis, Tenn.). The tournament will also showcase Montverde Academy (Fla.), a team that features prep stars Dakari Johnson, Kasey Hill and Justin Bibbs.
While this could be the most stacked tournament Lone Peak has competed in to date, Lewis said the Knights worry about themselves going into each and every game, no matter the opponent.
"Our focus is always on us," he said.

Cops: Drunk Banker Posed as Airport Screener
(NEWSER) – Federal authorities are investigating how a man who had been boozing at an airport lounge was apparently able to pass himself off as an airport screener and bring women into a private booth for pat-downs. Law enforcement tell the San Francisco Chronicle that the man's outfit of khaki pants, a blue polo shirt, and rubber gloves he had seemingly swiped resembled that of the real screeners. He allegedly brought one woman into a booth for a pat-down and was busted when he brought a second woman to the booth.

Redefining Detroit: Gilbert outlines game-changing vision for downtown Detroit
(myFOXDetroit.com) – The movement to bolster the economy in downtown Detroit received some welcomed news Thursday, as upscale grocer Papa Joe's announced plans to open a new store on Woodward.
Papa Joe's has signed a lease to occupy 15,000 square feet in the heart of downtown, on the ground floor of the First National Building on Woodward at Campus Martius.
Like its other locations in Rochester and Birmingham, the downtown Detroit Papa Joe's store will feature specialty foods, sit-down dining, a full bar and other amenities.
The news was announced by none other than Quicken Loans founder Dan Gilbert, who took his vision for a livelier down a step further.
In fact, you might want to take a picture of downtown Detroit now, because if the plan outlined by Gilbert and his partners comes to fruition, the entire area will look and feel drastically different.
Some say it will be exactly what they were hoping for.
Gilbert said he's projecting Parisian-style sidewalk cafes, food carts and retailers that open into sidewalks.
Forget about the downtown Detroit you are used to.
This version is a place where the buildings, the streets and parks will live up to the motto, "live, work and play."
Gilbert and his team rolled out the plan in front of a packed house Thursday afternoon. They built upon work that's already been done, and spent months bringing in experts from around the country and talking to more than a thousand people about what they want to see in downtown Detroit.
The answer was pretty impressive. Buildings that literally invite you in with open architecture and unique retail. Partners like the Detroit Economic Growth Corporation and the Downtown Detroit Partnership are transforming Hart Plaza and the Riverfront.
Places like Campus Martius and Grand Circus Park will be greener, full of food carts, art festivals and places to just hang out and enjoy Detroit.
Gilbert also announced that he and his partners have acquired the Vinton Building on Woodward. It's currently an empty office tower, designed by famed architect Albert Kahn.
Gilbert said the building could become a boutique hotel or a residential building.
Question: How do you feel about it? Are you for it or against it?

You could try some of the cheat codes.
That might help you.
I am using LiveCD on my laptop Compaq V6065ea (Turion X2, 1GB ram, nv 6150, sata 160gb, Broadcom wifi).
Before, when I was using BT2, bootup process was under 2 minutes. Now, in BT3Beta it takes almost 10 minutes.
Boot up stops at following lines:
3 minutes: Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision blahblabh, URQ sharing enabled
1 minute: ide0: BM-DMA at ......., Bios settings: hda: DMA, hdb: PIO
1 minute: ide0 at 0x........... on irq 14
1 minute: scsi2 : sata_nv
1 minute: scsi3 : sata_nv
Can I make it any faster? I intended to install it on my hdd but if this is how fast it will go, I have my doubts.
Tiocfaidh ár lá
No, it shouldn't sit there for minutes at a time at each stage!
Please supply some basic details:
Did you check md5 of the iso?
Did you try re-burning it at slowest possible speed?
Can you check the disc on another machine (although not always an indicator of disc/burn quality)
As already mentioned, check out the cheatcodes....
Check out the wiki's HCL's.....
The md5 and recorded CD was fine. I tried to use cheat codes, but although I was typing them in in the bootup line, I couldn't get them to work.
Anyway, everything works fine with the full version of BT3.

How To Get Up On A Wakeboard
Watersports > How To Get Up On A Wakeboard
To save yourself some time, prevent frustration and possibly save some of your self-esteem, try following these steps when trying to get up on a wakeboard:
1. When starting off, lie in the water on your back and position your board and feet directly in front of you. Keep your knees at about a 90 degree angle. Hold this position until you feel pressure on the rope handle from the boat idling forward. If your feet and the board are not directly in front of you, you'll likely be spun around.
2. When ready, give the driver a thumbs up signal to start the boat forward.
3. As the boat starts to pull you, point your toes forward somewhere between a 25 and 45 degree angle so that you feel the board start lifting out of the water. If you keep your toes at a 90 degree angle before getting on plane, the board will be pushing the water in front of it forward rather than climbing on top of it. IE, instead of riding the water, you'll be pushing it forward (which would be hundreds, if not thousands of pounds of pressure; hence feeling like your hands are getting ripped off).
4. While being lifted out of the water, start turning your board so one foot goes in front of the other. Do not stand up until you're on the water. By the time you're standing, your body should be facing either left or right. Left foot forward is referred to as a regular stance while right foot forward is referred to as a goofy stance. If you need help determining which stance is best for you, have a friend push you from behind. Whatever foot you put in front of you to catch yourself is the foot you'll want to be at the front of the board when you're riding on the water. Again, do not stand up until you're on plane.
5. After you've gotten on plane and are gliding on the water, stay in the same general spot (relative to the boat) until you feel stable, then start making small turns left and right. Dropping into the lip of the wake for the first time will likely result with you back in the water, but give it a shot. If it doesn't work the first time, it'll work the second, even if that second attempt has to be repeated a few times. This is a crawl-walk-run type activity so give it some time.
Failure is part of the process so accept and embrace it. One of the worst things you can do to your progression is psyche yourself out by accepting failed attempts as your capacity. This is not the case. Progression can be quickly made by sticking with it, and focusing on what you want to learn rather than what you can't do.
While getting on plane will allow get you into the joyous world of wakeboarding, here are some other tips to help improve your experience:
1. If you plan on doing a lot of wakeboarding, invest in a well fitting neoprene life-jacket or vest. In addition to keeping you comfortable and safe, the Neoprene material will keep you warmer than a standard foam or nylon life jacket, as neoprene traps water in which is then heated by your body (much like a wetsuit). This allows for longer sessions in comfort.
2. Keep headaches away by using a water hood or helmet. The hood will help prevent headaches from cold water and air, as well as diminish head-to-water impact on crashes. Yes, you can catch edges while wakeboarding and it's almost a guaranteed headache. The helmet will have a similar effect as the hood, with an emphasis on impact rather than keeping your noggin toasty.
3. Find your ideal speed. Most boat drivers will have a sadistic urge to take you much faster than you need to go. This creates heightened pain for you when you screw up, which creates entertainment for the driver. To counteract this problem, communicate your ideal speed to the driver. Social obligations will act as a temporary remedy for the drivers dark side, allowing for a less painful experience. You only need enough speed to keep you on plane and to build the type of wake you prefer (small, big, etc). For jumping, more than enough speed can be gathered by quickly going from one side of the wake to the other (which I call the nun-chuck effect).
4. You don't have to be a Boy Scout to be prepared. Was getting your feet in the bindings a ten minute process Get some boot goo or find the right size of bindings. Was the rope handle tearing up your hands Get some wakeboarding gloves or a handle that's bigger or in better condition. Can't seem to get to the sweet spot of the wake based on rope length Buy a multi-section rope that can be adjusted to your preferences.
Big thanks to Derek Rutlidge for all the great tips those 11 short years ago.

One may dismiss the three life interpretation of conditioned co-production, but the moment-to-moment interpretation also ceases to have any meaning if one denies time/process. If something conditions something, there is a movement in time from not being conditioned to being conditioned, or from not being arisen to being arisen. Time.

Doan Issues Bold GSA Telework Challenge
September 12, 2007
Contact: Jen Milikin, (202) 501-1231
50 Percent of Eligible Agency Employees to Telework by 2010
WASHINGTON, DC – GSA Administrator Lurita Doan today challenged her agency to draw up plans to enable 50 percent of eligible employees to telework one or more days per week by 2010. Currently 10 percent of eligible agency employees telework, compared to 4.2 percent for the overall federal workforce.
"It won't be easy, but the leaders of GSA have already proven they are capable of extraordinary achievements, no matter the odds," Administrator Doan said at a forum hosted by the Telework Exchange, a public-private partnership that promotes federal telework.
Administrator Doan said the benefits of telework warrant an aggressive internal campaign where GSA can lead by example. Among the benefits she cited: reduced energy use; fewer greenhouse gas emissions, less traffic, less U.S. dependence on foreign oil, increased worker productivity and savings for American taxpayers.
Telework is also an important recruiting and retention tool that will help attract and keep talented individuals in public service, she said, noting that the ability to telework will be especially critical in times of emergency and ensuring continuity of operations.
"Robust COOP capacity is a natural benefit of telework, but we can't wait until an emergency to implement the program," she said. "Federal agencies must have a viable telework program in place as part of normal operations."
As interim goals, Administrator Doan called for plans to increase the number of GSA teleworkers to 20 percent by the end of 2008 and 40 percent by the end of 2009.
Founded in 1949, GSA serves as a centralized procurement and property management agency for the federal government. GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 205,000 vehicles. GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 425 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services. GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and eGov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? GSA, in cooperation with the Office of Personnel Management and community partners, has established a network of 14 telework centers across the metropolitan area.

Post subject: Is the Panthers franchise a joke to the league?
Just a simple question, I feel like ever since we had the Jake Delhomme led Meltdown in the Divisional round of the Playoffs against Arizona in 08, this franchise has lost its way and all respect among the rest of the league along the way... I'm not one to really care what other idiotic fans think, but I mean, we're not even talked about on ESPN or NFL Network or any Sports related show...
90% of NFL fans probably don't even know that we won the last 5 out of our 6 games.. We beat Atlanta, the #1 seed and it was viewed as a fluke, oh it happens, the Panthers still suck...
I understand that because we're an expansion team, have only been in the league for 16 years that we don't have a huge history, we're not a storied franchise, we haven't won Superbowls... We don't have iconic hall of fame players who've been on our team....
But this team has done Relatively well in its short time in this league... We've been to a Superbowl, which if i'm not mistaken is still more than we can say for some teams who've been around much longer, i.e. Detroit Lions and, Cleveland..?
I just feel like this team gets no respect, and anytime somebody talks about the Panthers, its that, we suck, they're a mess, in the same division as Atlanta and New Orleans they've got no chance, etc..

I believe since that 08 season we have just been in a drought/slump. Back when we were the #2 seed in the playoffs that year, believe it or not we were picked by a few experts to make it to the SB and got pretty good recognition that year. Since then the only exposure he have gotten was drafting Cam, which gives us a good amount of publicity already. Simply if Cam fails in his third year next year, he will be an afterthought and we will be back in basement again.

pretty much. jerry richardson spearheaded the lockout and didn't want to give into the refs earlier in the season after the packers/hawks game. drew up that pie chart and claimed to not know who jim harbaugh was (note to jerry: he is coaching in the super bowl next week). we don't let our general manager choose who the head coach will be. we choke games away.
thank god for cam or else we'd have no hope.

I wouldn't say we are a joke. Charlotte is a great city, although it is a smaller market. But in the next decade I think we will rise to prominence as the teams finds success and the city grows.
We were very respected after our superbowl run. We just need to win games.

No team is looking at the Panthers like a pushover and they haven't for the last two years, they just have to start winning. The media will never care about the tiny market though, which is an added bonus when we win because they have to talk about the Panthers.
Nobody will respect a team that overpays for good players that doesn't make the playoffs.
I think we'll get back there. As Newton pointed out, this place had a "get'em on the next play" mentality, which sounds like a bunch of guys just collecting paychecks. I think that is nearly gone now and we have a chance to get back to being a respected team.

The thing is that the panthers have done some good things in a short period of time but they have done them over a period of time. They need to start putting togeather winning season, playoff appearances, and such. Teams that win for a year then drop off the map are thought of as a joke. The reason, because that show that things were not really run correctly. Giving contracts that cripple the teams salary cap and things like that reflect on the entire organization. Teams that win consistantly no what the value of players are to their team and pay them or let them walk based on that value. When the panthers figure out what the identity of the team is and build correctly based on that then they will start winning and people will respect them. Of course then if the start winning a lot everyone wil hate them and say they are arrogant.

Actually the biggest joke in the league hands down has been the Cleveland Browns. Even when we win the media talks about how terrible and unprepared the other team came out. We win and the story is OMG what happened to said team. Every sunday the highlights for our game last about 2.5 plays unless we play something like Peyton Manning or Andrew Luck and then it last about 8 plays long all of which are the other team whether we win or lose.
Players, GMs, and coachs have lost all respect for the entire franchsie. Mario Manningham, Chris Cooley and numerous others have publically laughed at the idea of coming to Cleveland as a free agent. Head coaches like Chip Kelly use us as leverage for a bigger deal for the team they really wanted to coach. GMs make it a yearly playground beat down when it comes to trades as we are always overpaying to trade up or for players such as Corey Williams or Shaun Rogers, yet we never get the same value in return such as trading #5 all the way to #17 for a 2nd and some backups, trading down with Batimore for only a 6th so they can get Haoti Ngata, trading down 2 times to get a whopping 2 6ths. The list goes on and on and on.
We are the joke amoung the league, fans and media.
Anyway I came in here t ask about Captain Munnerlyn if he played on the outside at all or just a slot corner?

He's pretty turribad on the outside. He's done it in the past (notably 2011 when he flat out sucked). When he stays in the slot he's actually quite solid. I'd even go so far as to say he's a pretty good slot corner, definitely better than average.

In an Arizona desert a man wanders in a daze, speaking words that make no sense. Within twenty-four hours he is dead, his body swiftly cremated by his only known associates. Halfway around the world archaeologists make a shocking discovery at a medieval site. Suddenly they are swept off to the headquarters of a secretive multinational corporation that has developed an astounding technology. Now this group is about to get a chance not to study the past but to enter it. And with history opened to the present, the dead awakened to the living, these men and women will soon find themselves fighting for their very survival–six hundred years ago . . .
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
When you step into a time machine, fax yourself through a "quantum foam wormhole," and step out in feudal France circa 1357, be very, very afraid. If you aren't strapped back in precisely 37 hours after your visit begins, you'll miss the quantum bus back to 1999 and be stranded in a civil war, caught between crafty abbots, mad lords, and peasant bandits all eager to cut your throat. You'll also have to dodge catapults that hurl sizzling pitch over castle battlements. On the social front, you should avoid provoking "the butcher of Crecy" or Sir Oliver may lop your head off with a swoosh of his broadsword or cage and immerse you in "Milady's Bath," a brackish dungeon pit into which live rats are tossed now and then for prisoners to eat.
This is the plight of the heroes of Timeline, Michael Crichton's thriller. They're historians in 1999 employed by a tech billionaire-genius with more than a few of Bill Gates's most unlovable quirks. Like the entrepreneur in Crichton's Jurassic Park, Doniger plans a theme park featuring artifacts from a lost world revived via cutting-edge science. When the project's chief historian sends a distress call to 1999 from 1357, the boss man doesn't tell the younger historians the risks they'll face trying to save him. At first, the interplay between eras is clever, but Timeline swiftly becomes a swashbuckling old-fashioned adventure, with just a dash of science and time paradox in the mix. Most of the cool facts are about the Middle Ages, and Crichton marvelously brings the past to life without ever letting the pulse-pounding action slow down. At one point, a time-tripper tries to enter the Chapel of Green Death. Unfortunately, its custodian, a crazed giant with terrible teeth and a bad case of lice, soon has her head on a block. "She saw a shadow move across the grass as he raised his ax into the air." I dare you not to turn the page!
Through the narrative can be glimpsed the glowing bones of the movie that may be made from Timeline and the cutting-edge computer game that should hit the market in 2000. Expect many clashing swords and chase scenes through secret castle passages. But the book stands alone, tall and scary as a knight in armor shining with blood. --Tim AppeloFrom the Inside Flap:
Michael Crichton's new novel opens on the threshold of the twenty-first century. It is a world of exploding advances on the frontiers of technology. Information moves instantly between two points, without wires or networks. Computers are built from single molecules. Any moment of the past can be actualized -- and a group of historians can enter, literally, life in fourteenth-century
feudal France.
Imagine the risks of such a journey.
Not since Jurassic Park has Michael Crichton given us such a magnificent adventure. Here, he combines a science of the future -- the emerging field of quantum technology -- with the complex realities of the medieval past. In a heart-stopping narrative, Timeline carries us into a realm of unexpected suspense and danger, overturning our most basic ideas of what is possible.

I have an Alley CAt and a Gold Retreiver Doggy.............They are soo cute.
I just got these yesterday and not quite sure what to do with it apart from playing games on the internet.
I have a Few questions:
- my friend said that the Webkinz code can only last for a year, is that true?
- What happens when it retires?
- for some items in the Webkinz internet, why can't i play with it?
- Any tips for getting more points and stuff, interesting info about it, just post here.

- This is true. Each code only lasts one year, and to make your account last longer, you have to buy another webkinz.
-Nothing, you still get to play with it. That just means the company quit making them, because of low sales on that paticular pet.
-Some items are decoration only.
-Play games, after you adopt your fifth pet, you start getting a suprise, and each time you adopt a pet, you get the specific item that goes with that animal.
I sure hope I helped you some!

For example if my Alley cat expires in May, then i didn't play until June when i got a new pet and can i still log back into my old account and adopt a pet from there? Or it won't let me log back into my old account? And will all the furnitures and stuff be back in there? The Kinzcash and clothings?

Will Speaking Spanish Matter in 2016?
President Barack Obama's plans to nominate San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro to his cabinet set off a frenzy of speculation about the rising star in the Democratic Party. Serving as U.S. Housing Secretary would position Mr. Castro for the national ticket in 2016, and he would lock down the growing Hispanic vote, pundits immediately predicted.
And then came this irreverent remark on Twitter from Rick Wilson, a prominent Republican strategist in Florida: "For all the gushing about Julian Castro, so few of the press actually cover that he doesn't speak Spanish."
It's true that Mr. Castro, whose grandmother emigrated from Mexico, is not fluent in Spanish. Neither is his fellow Texan, Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, whose father was born in Cuba. Another prominent Hispanic Republican, Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval, would also flunk a Spanish fluency test.

- Marco Rubio Concedes Campaign Mistakes, Supports Donald Trump
- Donald Trump's Plans Don't Add Up. Do Voters Care?
But former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, a potential rival to Mr. Cruz in 2016, would ace the same exam. Texas Gov. Rick Perry, also thinking about running in 2016, isn't fluent but speaks and understands some Spanish.
And then there's Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, the son of Cuban-American immigrants, who flexed the power of bilingualism when he delivered the response to President Obama's State of the Union speech on both English- and Spanish-language television networks. Mr. Rubio, another possible candidate in 2016, also spearheaded legislation last year that would allow illegal immigrants to earn citizenship. (Mr. Cruz voted against it.)
So what matters most to Hispanic voters? Surname and biography? Spanish fluency? Or a candidate's stance on issues like immigration reform?
All of the above, say political operatives in both parties.
"It is obviously heartening to the community when someone speaks to them in Spanish, and it is an asset they can use on television and radio," said Henry Cisneros, who seems to have paved the way for Mr. Castro by serving as Housing Secretary and mayor of San Antonio. "But increasingly it is not essential. Texas is one of the most assimilated Latino communities in the U.S., so it's not unusual to find second- and third-generation Latinos who don't speak Spanish because they grew up in a completely integrated society." (Rep. Joaquin Castro (D., Texas), Mr. Castro's twin brother, isn't fluent in Spanish either.)
When the U.S. Cuba-Democracy PAC last year hosted the four former and current Cuban-American senators — Democrat Robert Menendez and Republicans Mel Martinez, Rubio and Cruz – the junior senator from Texas was the only one who did not begin his remarks in Spanish. "My Spanish is lousy," Mr. Cruz told Fox News in 2012.
That's the least of his problems with the Hispanic community, said Matt Barreto, a co-founder of the Latino Decisions polling firm. "His political positions are far out of the mainstream of the Latino community," he said, referring to the senator's opposition to the immigration reform bill and his insistence on repealing the Affordable Care Act. A Latino Decision survey in 2013 of Hispanic voters found that 62% were much more or somewhat more likely to vote Democratic in 2016 if Mr. Castro was on the ticket, while only 31% were much more or somewhat like to vote Republican if Mr. Cruz was on the ballot.
Izzy Santa, Hispanic media communications director at the Republican National Committee, agreed that immigration policy is important to Hispanic voters but said jobs and the economy are priorities. Oh and by the way, she noted: the Republican nominee for governor in Texas, Greg Abbott, speaks Spanish.

Coach Jim Mora was looking for signs in practice that players haven't lost their focus since beating USC (They haven't, he insists).
One to watch, in particular, was cornerback Aaron Hester, who picked off Matt Barkley's pass on the first play of the game for his first interception of the season.
Later in the game, he went high to break up a deep pass from Barkley intended for Nelson Agholor.
Hester has been "somewhat inconsistent but getting better" this season, in Mora's words. Yet for all the strides he made Saturday, Hester seems to be taking it in stride.
"I made a couple plays to help the team win," he said, "but I've just got to stack games."
Stanford has given Hester and the UCLA secondary fits in the recent past, but that was with Andrew Luck at quarterback. Redshirt freshman Kevin Hogan will make his third start Saturday after playing well in the past three games, all Cardinal wins.
"He's real athletic. We've seen him escape the pocket a few times," Hester said. "We don't pay attention to specific (players) like that. We just want to beat the scheme, read our keys, and make plays when the plays are there."
If he has been inconsistent, Hester said it wasn't because he was pressing for his first pick.
"Interceptions come," he said. "You can't press for them. I just caught the ball when it was there."

Thousands of people performed their Eid prayer on the rugs that were placed on the roads of Moscow, capital of Russia as the Central Mosque could not host that number.
The neighbourhood of the Central Mosque in Prospekt Mira street of Moscow were closed to allow people to perform the prayer of Eid al- adha.
According to the police information there were around 10 or 15 thousands of people who filled the streets for the prayer.
Russian State Television relayed by turns the prayer at the Central Mosque and the mosque in Ufa, capital city of the Republic of Bashkortostan in Russia.
Russian President Dimitriy Medvedev sent a message owing to Eid al – adha. "The Feast of Sacrifice bonds people in scope of Islam's real values like peace, compassion and goodness. The Feast of Sacrifice symbolizes the people's spiritual revival because of the performance of hajj. The Feast of Sacrifice not only strengthens people's belief in justice but also teaches them to help their neighbours who are in need of other people."
Medvedev also expressed that the muslim community in Russia plays a great role to diversify the cultural richness in Russian community and he told ; "I am sure that, the base of mutual respect and the tradition of good neighbour relations will go on to contribute the success of our common homeland."
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin also celebrated the Eid al -adha of all the muslims in Russia and stated that the bairam is an indispensible part of multi-national spiritual legacy of Russia as well as a symbol of the moral development and helping to other people who are in need.
Also Putin informed that thousands of Russian Muslims celebrated the feast of sacrifice in the holy land of Saudi Arabistan and some millions came together at the mosques of Russia while visiting their relatives as well.

It keeps comming back when I delete it. I "disabled" it from showing up on the desktop; it doesn't show on the background but it is present if you browse a terminal to /root. How do I prevent it from respawning? Do I need cheatcodes or will a very powerful sniper do?
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
I use KDE , but heavily rely on consoles. I have files in my root folder and the Desktop folder is just taking up space, if I remove this one folder, when I do ls, it will show the files i need to see on 2 lines instead of 3. I never use the Desktop folder, and I don't use the desktop.
Doesn't matter hardrive space, it takes up screen space, and its annoying, it shouldn't be a milestone to disable this. What if I'm against the desktop folder? What if my religion commands be to remove all desktop folders on the systems I use!?!?
In Linux it is also possible to hide directories simply by placing a period in as the first character in the name. You could try renaming the /root/Desktop folder to /root/.Desktop and see if it will still be created at startup or if the hidden one will suffice for KDE. The hidden directory will then only use up your precious screen space if you use the command ls -a instead of ls.
-Monkeys are like nature's humans.
Thanks, =Tron=. Yes, it is quite precious when I have like 6 shells open per desktop, I also have 5 desktops. I do alot of coding so while stuff gets built I need other shells to build more stuff.
I know a guy that codes standing up. His desk is one of those tall "I don't need no stinking chair" kinds of desk. He usually has three or four desktops, on two different screens, so that's six or eight viewable, with firefox running on one, he codes web based applications, his email on another, and full screen terminals on all the rest. He's also one of those weird people that can hold two different conversations, while typing something completely different at the same damn time. He never complained about the Desktop window. This has got to be one of the strangest questions I've ever read.

Wireless cards I have tested in work today:
Alfa network USB Wireless adapter (has the best antenna on any adapter I have used) Model No:AWUS036H
Netgear WAG511 32 bit dual band
Netgear WG511 v 2
All the above worked OK.
//Just plugged a linksys WPC11 in.....brought BT3 crashing to its knees big time....lots of EIP errors...error message too long to post but can PM it to someone if they are interested.
