Depression is a common condition that affects 14.8 million American adults annually (National Institute of Mental Health), There are a number of available treatment options. If medication is needed, I will provide appropriate referrals. I work with clients to identify and change negative thinking underlying their depression and explore past experiences that can be a contributing factor. I create a safe, non-judgmental place for clients to explore their feelings, heal, and feel joy once again.

When life drains you and leaves you feeling overwhelmed and without energy, counseling can help. Therapy can help you explore the issues that are weighing you down and help you find ways to cope with pain and fear that may be holding you back. Sometimes, we get caught into patterns of negativity and therapy can help change these patterns and let you see new possibilities. Self esteem and positive feelings can be cultivated and enhanced. Hope, energy, and passion can be restored through the counseling process.

In my work with men and women with compulsive and out-of-control sexual behaviors, I have found that many of my clients have untreated or under-treated depression. Many individuals learn at an early age that sexuality can soothe uncomfortable feelings, such as depression. Over time, these behaviors can become habitual and may escalate in intensity and risk. One of themes important goals of treatment is to learn healthy ways to cope with depression.

Most people come to therapy for depression, and this is usually after a loss. We look to see what that loss might have been and with your courage and my compassion, we do the grief work that is needed. Other people have suffered from "over control." That is, they have adopted unrealistic standards of self-control and perfectionism and find it impossible to fully embrace themselves. We work to help them with this task. Still others have depression as anger turned inwards. They find that when they are finally able to get in touch with their walled-off anger, they are able to feel less depressed.

Although their are various symptoms attributed to depression, at its core it involves a loss of one's sense of passion and purpose in living. I help people recover their lost sense of passion and purpose by helping them look deep inside themselves for what they have lost. It is not easy work, but it is very rewarding. Once this work is done, the symptoms of depression are no longer needed.

I approach Depression from several angles. 1)Lifestyle changes (adequate sleep, exercise, nutrition, fun activities), 2) Underlying beliefs about oneself that contribute to low self-esteem and shame, 3) Positive support system of friends and family, and 3) The possible need for medication or natural supplements if there seems to be a true brain chemistry imbalance that cannot be fully addressed just with regular therapy. I have found that ALL of these areas must be addressed in order to effectively treat Depression.

I have a great deal of experience helping clients who are going through feelings and symptoms of depression and/or anxiety. I use a variety of ways to guide clients to feel more content and happy. I use cognitive therapy with clients who tend to be perfectionists and/or are self-critical. I use gestalt therapy with clients who need to more fully express their feelings. I use hypnosis with clients who need to get in better touch with their inner strengths. Everyone deserves to feel good inside.

There are many forms of depression. Some people have a major depression needing both counseling and perhaps medication. Other people come in with low level depression or situational form following a loss or perhaps a trauma. Some people need to process their situation and see it from a different perspective along with exercise, connecting with other people, joining support groups, focusing on moments when they felt strong and competent. I will design, along with you, strategies to help manage the depression and bring hope back into your life.

Grey Matters International, Inc. and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D. handles depression and other emotional disorders in a very unique way. Most of therapy or counseling processes utilize validation, unconditional positive regard, and reframing as common techniques to get someone to heal from their depression. Though this can be helpful, it rarely fixes the core problem behind it and for tough cases we then refer them usually to a psychiatrist for medication which can have tons of side effects. Instead, why not try a natural and arguably more effective way to not just change your mind, but change the brain--where the depression is rooted. Contact us at email@example.com.

No matter how bad things seem, there are times when your depression is not as severe or not as controlling. Using a solution focused approach we will focus on past successes as opposed to harping on the negative times with the objective of finding times when your happier, even if it is just a little bit. Once you are able to start to recognize small positive changes, those can lead to larger changes.

Depression is linked to certain EEG patterns of cortical under-stimulation. Knowing this science provides many additional avenues of approach. But we also need to change the mental pathways that lead to depression...this is not easy, but it can be done. I felt so strongly about this, I wrote a book about it: "How to Eliminate Depression and Negative Thinking".

Brevard, N.C. – Dominique Pickett made it a one possession game with a three-pointer with :16 remaining in the game, but the Brevard College men's basketball team couldn't find the equalizer in a 70-64 loss to the Bears of Lenoir-Rhyne in Boshamer Gymnasium on Saturday evening.
The Pickett three capped a 12-4 run for the Tornados, but solid free throw shooting in the final seconds sealed the victory for the Bears.
The Tornados had no answer for Lenoir-Rhyne's Denzel Dillingham, who tallied a career-high 34 points for the Bears. Dillingham was 10-for-17 from the field, including 6-of-8 from beyond the arc in the contest. The sophomore also grabbed eight rebounds.
Junior guard Jarvis Perry added 10 points and nine rebounds for Lenoir-Rhyne, who didn't trail in the contest. The Bears capitalized on a 40-25 advantage on the glass, an effort led by Rob Noyes' 11 boards.
The Tornados were within a point at 40-39 with 11:33 left in the game after seven unanswered points, but the Bears responded with a 10-0 run to push the Lenoir-Rhyne lead to 11.
Brevard's Gerel Simmons totaled a team-high 17 points, while Manzey Miller added 15 points.
Brevard is back in action on the road as they visit Lincoln Memorial, while Lenoir-Rhyne next hosts Catawba. Both games are scheduled to tip-off Wednesday night at 8 p.m.

The Chiefland High boys varsity basketball team looked sharp in its season opener last Tuesday, Nov. 20, dominating host Lafayette County, 58-35.
Guard Marquis Jackson led the way with 17 points. The guard was especially hot from the outside, popping for five 3-point goals. Forward Travis Donald was the only other Indian reaching double figures with 10 points.
"We were balanced,"Indian coach Mark Lundy said. "We were very unselfish. We ran the floor and played good defense."
Lafayette was still alive in football playoffs and missing two of its starters.

Academic Regulations & Procedures
Leave of Absence (Medical, Military Service and Personal)
A student may request a total of three terms of leave of absence during their time at Carleton. The total of three terms can include any combination of medical, military service, or personal leaves. Students interested in exploring the leave options are encouraged to talk with their advisers and/or their class dean. Leave of absence requests must include reasons for requesting a leave and must ordinarily be made in advance of the start of the term. Leave of absence requests are processed by the Dean of Students Office on behalf of the Academic Standing Committee (ASC). The student must intend to return to Carleton to be granted a leave of absence. If, at the end of the leave of absence the student fails to return to Carleton, the leave will convert to a withdrawal back-dated to when the leave of absence began. This may cause any affected Title IV loans to enter into immediate repayment.
Notes: (1) A leave of absence is for nonacademic activities; if students choose to study elsewhere, credit will not be transferred to Carleton. (2) A leave of absence will cause the student's class year to change which will impact housing draw and registration priority numbers. (3) A student who is away from the College on leave of absence status for more than three terms will be withdrawn with the option to petition for readmission when they are ready to return. (4) Any student who receives financial aid should consult with Student Financial Services to discuss how their aid may be impacted by a leave or the extension of a leave.
Medical Leave During a Term
A student who cannot complete the term due to illness or other health issues may petition the Dean of Students Office for a medical leave.
Notes: (1) A student who takes a medical leave will have DRP's (drops) recorded for courses they are enrolled in at the time of the leave. (2) Return from medical leave must be approved by the Dean of Students Office through a petition process. (3) Normally, students returning from medical leave are not allowed to immediately go on an OCS program. (4) A term of medical leave does not count in your 12 academic terms but may count toward your allotted financial aid; any student who receives financial aid should consult with Student Financial Services to discuss how their aid may be impacted by a leave or the extension of a leave.
Military Service
A student may request a leave for military service at any time. Students petitioning to return to the College from military service who were in good academic standing at the time of their leave will typically be granted readmission.
Note: Students will be allowed to take a leave from the College for active service in the U.S. Military without penalty. If the leave is requested during the term, students will receive a 100 percent tuition refund and a pro rata refund of unused room and board fees (less any financial aid which may have been received for the term) upon presenting an original copy of their military orders for active duty to the Dean of Students Office. Alternatively, extension (EXT) grades with no tuition reimbursement may be more appropriate when the call for active military duty comes near the end of the term.
Personal Leave
A student who wishes to take a personal leave from College must make the request prior to the start of an academic term. Personal leaves are usually for students who need a break from academic work and wish to engage in volunteer work, earn extra money for college, pursue a dream, etc. A student on a personal leave is able to return to college by submitting a petition to the Dean of Students Office. Students interested in leaving after the term has started should discuss options with their class dean (see also "withdrawal from the college").
See also academic progress, "ext"--extension granted, off-campus study, transfer of credits, and withdrawal from the college.

Impact of a Gift Trust Account on Eligibility for Need-Based Financial Aid
Mark Kantrowitz
September 10, 2012
My daughter turned 18 recently, and received a $25,000 mutual fund statement with her name on it. Her aunt had put $10,000 away in 1995 in a gift trust account for a minor. This was a mutual fund account in which the interest was reinvested each year and therefore no IRS interest statements were generated. We were unaware that her aunt had opened this account and let the money grow for 17 years. My daughter will be applying for financial aid for her sophomore year in college and must fill out the FAFSA and CSS Financial Aid PROFILE forms. How will this $25,000 mutual fund affect her financial aid for next year? She does not have any assets and works a part time job for income. What is the smart thing to do in reducing the affect of this asset for financial aid? Can she put the mutual fund in my name? I do not not own a home due to a recent foreclosure and do not have much assets. — A.K.C.
A gift trust account is an irrevocable trust fund. It is structured so that the amount contributed to the trust by the trust's creator is not subject to gift or estate taxes. To qualify, the gift must be irrevocable, meaning that the creator cannot change his or her mind about the gift or change the beneficiaries. The amount contributed must fall under the annual gift tax exclusion at the time of contribution. The trust terminates at a future date or when conditions specified in the trust document are satisfied, such as when the beneficiary reaches the age of majority, at which time the beneficiary will receive the gift trust account.
In addition, the contributions to the gift trust account must represent a present interest to the beneficiary, not a future interest. This means that the beneficiary must have been able to withdraw the funds from the account. As with a Crummey trust, the beneficiary should have been informed about the contribution to the trust at the time of the gift and then had the opportunity to withdraw funds for a limited period of time, typically 30 days.
But since the beneficiary was a minor at the time, the minor's interest in the gift trust account would have been structured as a custodial account. The notice of the gift would have been provided to a custodian on behalf of the minor. It is likely that the creator of the trust also served as the custodian.
This is a clever way of giving money to a minor in a tax-advantaged manner that precludes the child's parents from having access to the funds. It also protects the money from the parent's creditors.
If the student and parents are unaware of the existence of a gift trust account, they have no obligation to report it as an asset on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or other financial aid forms. So the failure to report the gift trust account as an asset during the student's freshman year, before she reached the age of majority, does not present a problem.

I'm using PHP5 and I have a directory where people can submit websites.
Is there a simple built in phpMyAdmin setting to block duplicate submissions?
So, quite simply all that I need to do is have the URL row checked for duplicates and if the URL already exists in the db block the duplicate submission altogether.
I've of course Googled this, however the only promising how-to's assume that you have a lot of back-end knowledge already, which I do not.. I'm a front-end guy.
It would have to be a back-end function to do this.
Depending on how your form is setup it should be more than a few extra lines of code.
Create a unique index on the URL column, and use INSERT IGNORE when inserting data
if people can submit urls, and more than one person can submit the same url, do you want to keep track of who first submitted it, or who last submitted it, or how many people submitted it?
or are you only keeping the url itself regardless of who submitted it?
I think this is probably the best solution. It doesn't matter who submits a URL, the date or anything else. A URL should be submitted once and if accepted, any future duplicate submissions should just be blocked altogether.
So here's what I'm seeing for the URL index:
ALTER TABLE `Listings` ADD INDEX(`URL`)
What exactly should I make that before I click "Go"?
calmestghost, that will create an index on the table but not a unique one.
The syntax you're after is CREATE UNIQUE INDEX unique_url ON Listings(URL);
That's a good solution for now, I'll have to work out a custom error message though. We can call this one solved. Thank you very much for your help everyone.
If you're using PHP you can use the mysql_affected_rows function to test whether an insert has been successful or not.

During the post-season, Flacco had 11 postseason TD passes and no interceptions, tying a league mark. Joe Flacco lead the Baltimore Ravens to a 34-31 in the pro football title game and was named MVP. Flacco threw for 287 yards and three touchdowns. With 54 wins and 26 losses in his regular season career, Flacco is on pace to break into the top 50 winningest NFL quarterbacks in just a few short years. He's averaging just five losses per season and the Ravens have reached the playoffs every year he's been under center.Pro Quarterback Joe Flacco uses Dymatize Nutrition to take his game to the next level.It was obvious that Joe Flacco was an emerging, young star signal caller, but despite much playoff success, he was unsuccessful taking the Ravens to the pinnacle of the league: the Super Bowl. Joe began training with Dymatize supplements in the summer of 2012. It was Joe's attraction to proven ingredients and the research behind them that ultimately lead to his decision to use Dymatize supplements. He noticed he had more energy and was able to recover quickly after tough games. "Dymatize products have really helped me peak as a professional athlete this season. I've noticed less fatigue and have been able to stay relatively healthy and rebound from any minor injuries during the season. I chose Dymatize because they are one of the few supplement companies that put their products through University-backed research and use a staple of tried and trusted ingredients."-Joe FlaccoPro Football QuarterbackAndy HamanIFBB Pro Bodybuilder USA National Freestyle Wrestling Champion InfoDate of birth: 8-16-66 Place of birth: Iowa City , Iowa Years training: 20 Years competing: 2 Height: 5'11 Off-Season Weight: 290 Contest Weight: 260 BiographyAfter only a year and half of training 5 hours per day- Andy captured the Masters National title in the super heavyweight class and overall title to earn IFBB pro status.

ABOUT DYMATIZEDymatize Nutrition was founded in 1994 and has grown into an industry leader, supplying the highest quality nutritional supplements to millions of fitness enthusiasts and athletes around the world! Dymatize is a world-renowned company spanning across 50+ countries.Producing the safest, highest quality and most efficacious products are extremely important to us. In fact, one way we ensure quality is by having every raw ingredient and finished product quarantined for 3 days while being tested for potency and purity multiple times by our in-house quality control testing microbiological lab to help ensure that the highest standards are met. Each of these tests is designed to deliver the safest, most effective and consistent products available on the market today. For this reason, we believe that Dymatize is one of the most independently tested brands of sports supplements available in the world.Our commitment to extremely high quality, superior taste and delicious flavors endures. Developing and offering new cutting edge products alongside our already proven product line of 250+ SKUs, we continue to be associated with the top quality products demanded by the top athletes globally. Beyond providing safe and high quality products, another way we separate ourselves from the competition is because production of our products and manufacturing of powders and liquids takes place in our own state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities.

Salisbury, N.C. - Preston Lyon led off the bottom of the 11th with a double down the right field line and came around to score as Tyler Smith drew a bases loaded walk as the Falcons topped the Tornados in Brevard's first game of the season, 5-4.
Pfeiffer got on the board first on Brevard starter Zack Simpson as the Falcons opened up the bottom of the third inning with back to back base hits by Smith and Kevin Price. After Simpson retired Boehme on strikes, Smith and Price advanced on a double steal before Jacob Yates brought them both home with a double in the left center gap. Lyon drove Yates home two batters later, reaching on an infield error as the Falcons went up 3-0.
Brevard responded with a run in the top of the fourth as Kramer Clark reached on a fielder's choice and advanced to third as Ethan Pressley drove a double to left centerfield.
Randy O'Dell brought Clark home, hitting a grounder on a 2-2 offering from Pfeiffer starter Bryan Tuttle to the right side of the infield, scoring the junior second baseman.
Pfeiffer responded with a run in the bottom half of the inning as Aarin Sharpe reached on an infield error to lead off the inning, before coming around to score on Price's sacrifice fly to right field.
The Tornados added another run in the top of the fifth. Alex Bedenbaugh drew a full count walk with two outs and came all the way around to score on Brett Brinson's base hit to right field as the relay into the infield was misplayed by the Pfeiffer shortstop, cutting the score to 4-2.
After a one-out walk to BC catcher Zack Merriken in the top of the seventh, junior shortstop Steele Myers swung at the first offering from Tuttle, lifting the pitch over the left field fence for the Tornados first home run of the 2011 season, tying the game at 4 apiece.
Pitching took over in the eighth as both teams made substitutions on the mound, with Casey Smith (0-1) coming in for Brevard and Ethan Marsh (2-0) for Tuttle and both teams went down 1-2-3 in the ninth as the game headed to extra innings.
Pfeiffer challenged in the bottom of the tenth as Price reached third with two outs on a Barham fly ball to centerfield, but Smith retired Wade on strikes to end the Falcons' threat.
Clark was stranded on first in the top of the 11th, before the Falcons took over in the bottom half of the inning. Lyon opened up the inning with a double down the line, reaching third on Gray's sacrifice bunt. After the Tornados intentionally walked the next two batters to load the bases, Smith worked a full count before drawing the game-ending walk, giving Pfeiffer the 5-4 victory.
Myers led the Tornados offensive effort, driving in two on his home run, while Simpson pitched seven innings, striking out seven, while walking zero. Yates was Pfeiffer's leading hitter in the contest, going three-for-three with a double, while driving in two. Tuttle also went seven innings in garning no decision, striking out seven while walking three.

Here is a video of my Iphone 5 on a HD video.
Here is my iPad mini
Just look at how slow my iPhone buffers. The iPad buffer is well ahead of the video. Where as the video on the iPhone catches up wkth the buffer almost immediately lol.
Good luck.

This would also end up true for when you get a stronger Wi-Fi transmitter I would think. Getting a dual band Wi-Fi router at your house will definitely help all this. Don't you think?
YouTube from Google takes into account what device you're using and what network you're connected to. On Wi-Fi, it tries to play the highest quality possible, because it assumes Wi-Fi is always fast and uncapped. Cellular, on the other hand, videos end up on medium or lower quality to save data and to compensate for possible slower speeds than Wi-Fi (a problem that LTE has helped solve, btw).
C'mon 6.1.
Another valid point, but it will still get you 100mb/sec. Should be plenty fast enough.
Try Jasmine and see if you have the same results.
Not at all! Thanks for posting it.
You did say you weren't sure if it was real, and a few people checked into it and our best guess is that its not real.
The guy that posted it on "the other site" however, could have checked a bit more carefully.
The quote HE pulled from jailbreakers dot eu or gdeluxe dot com was bogus.
Do a google search for that same text with "6.0" or "6.1" instead of "6.0.1" and you'll see the exact same announcement repeated word-for-word, posted several weeks ago.
Most of the sites that quote this release are clickbait scammers, or scammers selling a "jailbreak solution". The-other-iphone-forum obviously isn't a scam site.
Redmond Pie would be another place with tons of bogus and useless info, that also contains valuable and (occasionally) exclusive content. I'll make fun of them, too. But give credit where it's due. And i-f.net is much closer to MMi than Redmond Pie, imo.

A theatrical group is looking for a suit of armour for its latest production.
Yeadon Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society is asking for public help to find the prop which is essential to the plot.
The group made its appeal amid rehearsals for the West End musical Me And My Girl, to be staged at Yeadon Town Hall in March.
Publicity officer Jayne King said the team in charge of finding props had a major headache.
"Usually at this point in the preparation of a major musical, it can get quite fraught, but the cast and crew are making fantastic progress – the props, though, are proving challenging.
"Having already had to source a tiger-skin rug, a rapier and a double-barrelled shotgun, the team is now looking for a suit of armour. It is crucial to the plot so we have got to find one from somewhere.
"If anyone can help or knows where we can locate a suit of armour, please give our secretary a ring on 0113 2503032."
Me and My Girl runs from March 11 to 15 at Yeadon Town Hall. The musical comedy, which features the hit songs Leaning on a Lamppost, Sun Has Got His Hat On and The Lambeth Walk, premiered in the West End in 1985 with Robert Lindsay and Emma Thompson in the leading roles. The script was revised by Stephen Fry.

Bradley Manning heading to full Court Martial
posted at 7:35 pm on February 3, 2012 by Jazz Shaw
The long, deliberative military process has finally reached the top of the food chain. Reports are coming out today that Maj. Gen. Michael S. Linnington has followed the recommendations of the preliminary hearing and will send Bradley Manning to Court Martial for a variety of crimes including aiding the enemy in a time of war.
The commander of the Military District of Washington has ordered a court-martial for Pfc. Bradley E. Manning, the former intelligence analyst accused of giving hundreds of thousands of classified documents to the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks.
Maj. Gen. Michael S. Linnington made the decision Friday after reviewing testimony and arguments from a preliminary hearing at Fort Meade in December, officials said.
There was no word on whether the as-yet-unscheduled court-martial would also be held at Fort Meade, one of three installations within the military district equipped to host such a proceeding.
While Manning would normally qualify for death (likely before a firing squad) all current reports indicate that the prosecution will only seek life in prison. Either way, the investigation has gone on long enough that the Army clearly feels they have the goods and can deliver a case sufficient to obtain a conviction. The current odds would indicate that Manning will likely never see the outside of a prison again.
What remains to be seen is if Julian Assange will be drawn into this web following revelations that his chat logs were tied to Manning from his laptop. The case is complicated, since Assange is currently awaiting possible extradition and trial in the UK for sexual assault charges.

Dana discusses the cuts as part of the pre-fight media scrum here.
Dana discusses the cuts as part of the pre-fight media scrum here.
After hearing the ^^^above interview^^^ it seems that now is the time to be ruthless for the UFC, it seems that they want to move away from Pro Wrestling fighter styles and instead looking for more rounded fighters to push the brand forward on a global basis. It makes sense as you would rather see 2 well rounded fighters facing off rather than 1 involving a Wrestler trying to neutralize the others game. I think Dana is going to start giving these Pro Wrestling guys some real tough fights now.
You look at Teixtera v Bader, that is tailored made for a KO against a Wrestler then Bader will probably be cut.
With the recent news of regular events in the UK & Ire it will be interesting to see what strategy they adopt for UK & Ire fighters going forward as they will need some of these guys to be fighting on UK & Ire cards especially if we get annual events in London, Manchester, Dublin, Belfast and Glasgow
From what it sounded like to me it sounds like there is going to quite a lot of big named free agents floating about this year.
I wonder if Faber has saw this interview and knows this weekend could be a bad one for him.
Incredible that Fitch has gone, though he's never winning the title and got well beat at his own game against Maia. Maybe this way he finally gets to be a champion in another organisation. Personally though I won't miss him, find his fighting style almost unwatchable.
I think time away form the UFC could be beneficial for Paul and terry and expect them both to come back. Still think sass can be one of the bes fighters in the world at his weight.
to be fair, his relatively recent win over Silva was a vicious and entertaining beatdown. At least he's not pissing about, bouncing around out of range. Guida is fucking history if he ever loses.
Agree about Guida. Think there could be a few twitchy bums in the Jackson camp given danas views in the past and going by the recent cuts.
haha genuine hearty laughter on that one. Squeaky, high pitched guffs all round. I would love to be a fly on the wall to hear what is said at their next pep talk.
Guida has always been entertaining... His fight with Sanchez was fucking awesome, against Maynard he just didn't want to get taken down, he was fairly good against Hioki last time out.

In The News 01-18-2013
Your Weekly Update In The World Of Technology
Facebook's Big Announcement
Disclaimer: I have not used Facebook's Graph Search, though I am on the waiting list to beta test it.
Facebook unveiled one of its biggest updates this past week. That update is called Graph Search. So what is Graph Search and why is it big news?
Currently searching on Facebook is rather limited. You type something in the search box and you'll either find a person (friends show up first), a business/company, or some celebrity page. It's simple and straightforward but lacks a lot of details someone may want from a search. Graph Search changes all that. Currently in closed beta-testing, Graph Search is a Facebook network-wide search feature. Want to find people who went to Ohio State University and still live in Columbus? Search it and BAM… you get results of friends as well as friends of friends. Let's take it further. Maybe you want to find people who enjoy Star Wars, are located within your city (let's say Toledo), and enjoy tacos. Search it and BAM… you have a guest list for your next Star Wars movie marathon, where you just happen to be serving tacos. Nerds unite!
Currently Graph Search uses the 1 billion profiles as well as billions of photos to gather information and display your search results. Search goes beyond just finding a person. You can now use it to search through location, school, work place, likes, music you've listened to, and more! Of course, the information that Graph Search can access is limited to an individuals privacy settings. So if you're worried that a friend of a friend can search out that you like Underwater Basket-Weaving, then you may want to update your privacy.
As I mentioned, Graph Search is currently in closed beta testing with a waiting list available. Facebook will also announce when it will be available to the general Facebook public.
Bold Predictions For 2014 International CES
I've been introducing you to the new technology displayed at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, both awesome and strange, this past week. Now with the news of last week's show starting to wind down, I think it's time to make some bold predictions for what we may see at CES next year.
8K Televisions: 8K televisions actually exist already, but they are nowhere near being consumer ready. While 4K televisions were all the rage this year, and I'm willing to bet we'll see a lot more 4K content next year, television companies aren't going to pass up the chance to show something new and awesome.
Windows 8 will actually be popular: It's actually not doing that bad since its release back in October, but most users aren't able to make full use of the new operating system. Windows 8 was built with touchscreen in mind, so we should see touchscreen enabled monitors become more of a norm by next year.
Self-driving cars! Finally!: I touched on this subject yesterday, and unfortunately no one had a working example of a self-driving vehicle at this year's CES. Fortunately, many car manufacturers are jumping on the self-driving bandwagon and I would be surprised to not see a working example at next year's show.

As much as I like theories, I can't say that I buy all of this. The number of windows on a building can't have much importance. If the story did pan out where the moons eye plan resulted in the scenario you presented, or someone interrupted the moons eye plan with izanagi/nami (can't remember which is which), using the number of windows in a building as an anchor to prove this was a well thought out conclusion is very weak.
As you might have guessed I'm a light reader of the manga, and other than the non-sharigan eye of Kakashi I haven't noticed many mistakes. Is there a complete (concise) list somewheres?
I'm sure a manga as popular as Naruto pays well enough for Kishimoto to have assistants. It's possible that these mistakes could have been caused be delegating work so that he has more time to plan out the details of complex storyline elements or get a head start on more complicated battle sequences early.

Blazers Falter in the Fourth at Houston
The Portland Trail Blazers gave up a 13-point lead in the fourth quarter Sunday night in Houston, eventually losing 118-113 in overtime to fall to 42-21 on the season.
The Trail Blazers were outscored 33-21 in the fourth quarter and went scoreless in the final 2:15 of overtime to drop their second-straight game in heartbreaking fashion.
"That was a tough loss," said Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts. "A game that, I thought we did a good job of controlling it for a good part of it. We had our opportunities to win it. They made some tough shots. I thought we we overcame some adversity and still put ourselves in a position to win, but we didn't close it out."
After getting off to a terrible start in Friday night's road loss to the Mavericks, the Trail Blazers flipped the proverbial script versus the Rockets, getting off to a 10-0.

With back to school looming just around the corner, there's a lot of pressure on parents as well as kids. Parents are having to start buying supplies for the school year, not to mention clothes, shoes, backpacks and lunchboxes.

This argument needs to be resolved with a triple threat pushup challenge.
This argument needs to be resolved with a triple threat pushup challenge.
BJJ White belt, 2 stripes.
General badmotherfucker.
First of all what the fuck has steroids got to do with anything. No idea where that came from ? And you have just told us your teacher is a misinformed roid head and hes getting big, ripped and RANKED 7th in britain because of the gear not cos of his crossovers that are giving him that defined ' inner chest ' you speak of.
Secondly you claimed doing diamond press ups is ' increasing your pushing strength immensely ' which is just silly as anyone with half a brain knows press ups aren't great for strength development no matter how wide / narrow the grip, if it was true that would mean my friend would be way stronger than me as he does loads of close grip press ups, depth press ups, wide arm press ups etc. I don't do any to be honest, well i do but only as general warm ups before training so why isnt he stronger than me. He should have, as you say ' immense ' pushing strength.
A muscle can contract and relax that is all, get bigger or smaller it cannot be shaped. Please think about what I said about one guy doing decline only, by your theory hed have big lumps at the bottom of his chest and zero muscle at the top, there'd be some funny looking people about. And please stop saying inner chest, upper pecs, lower pec etc as it doesnt exist, if you had upper pecs, lower pecs and inner pecs you would need 3 different origin and insertion points.
Mate you are clearly wrong but are too narrow minded to see, all you do is say ' I don't know why I bother, cant be bothered arguing '. You do it everytime someone questions you. It's ridiculous.
You have learned something today and should thank me.
I have worked in various gyms for the past 11 years. People call the origin of the pec major ( where it meets the sternum ) the inner pec ( which is silly ) and try to build that area by doing cross overs etc hoping to get that striated look.. As I stated it is impossible to target this area as the muscle contracts as a whole.
The pectoralis minor is NOT the inner pec. There is no such thing as an inner pec. Yes it's behind the pec major and has seperate function ie moving the arms down towards the body so yes it is possible to stress the pec minor more by doing say a decline press as that is the main function BUT you cannot develop your upper pec, lower pec, inner pec etc because they dont exist... For fucks sake.
If that was the case we'd need 4 origins and insertions to work each muscle differently.
inner pec
outer pec
upper pec
lower pec
Reality = The entire pectoralis muscle ( major and minor ) would get enough stimulation by doing flat bench alone and would eventually grow but would stay the same shape your genetics are pre determined for you to have.
If you don't agree please tell me which part of the muscle flat bench works ? If incline works upper, decline works lower, then surely flat would work the middle pecs right ? Oh wait we have no middle pecs do we, maybe it works the inner pecs ? Oh wait thats the pec minor though isnt it ? So now the flat bench isolates the pec minor and not the major ?
Last edited by Jamie Taylor; 18-02-2010 at 02:56 PM.
Please read the top line of this page !!!!
Here I'll write it for you....
The Pectoralis minor is a thin, triangular muscle, situated at the upper part of the chest, beneath the Pectoralis major.
damn Jamie!! you know youre shit!!
Is it true that if I just wack the weights out I will turn my fat into muscle?
While I agree that Grizzly has got a very poor understanding on this topic (and most other stuff I've seen him come out with), there is some sense to the incline vs decline developing different parts of the muscle debate!
The pec major muscle is unusual in that it has a very broad insertion and the muscle fibres spread out like a fan, cross over and don't all insert at the same point. There are actually two "heads" that insert onto the humerus. These are the sternocostal and clavicular heads and they have slightly different actions and CAN be activated independently to one another to some degree.
While I doubt incline vs decline makes a big difference in activating different parts of the muscle, there is probably some effect.
Genetics undoubltedly play a role too, you can be born with a bias to one head or another, lots of people are missing the sternocostal part and some people are born with pec major on one side only- there was actually a UFC fighter with this a few years back but I can't remember his name.
Grizzly is wrong about almost everything else though and Jamie is generally spot on!
Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology.
Thanks Jay. I thought he had Poland syndrome (where you're born without the pec muscle) but his wiki page says he lost it in a car accident as a child... I actually saw a patient with Poland syndrome the other day and thought "that must be what's wrong with that UFC guy". Now I'm not so sure- I know wikipedia isn't always the most reliable source!
This site has a reasonable explanation of pec anatomy and action and actually has references which is extremely unusual for the internet!:
A good musculoskeletal anatomy textbook is a better resource.
Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology.
Putting the debate aside, I'd never heard of diamond push-ups and so just gave a few ago, christ I was struggling. I'm not the strongest but was managing 'regular' push-ups not too bad... I'll definitely have to start working in a few variations. Any favourites?
Was just checking youtube and thought I might try: regular, diamond high & under, shuffle & frog push-ups or something... don't think I'm quite good enough for clapping or one handed ones yet lol
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he hasn't been online.
*Awaits post stating the usual, yer all wrong and I can't be arsed arguing*
Zan, what rock have you been living under ? Next thing you're gonna tell us you've never heard of snake press ups aka dive bombers !!
Anyway, haven't got time to explain what they are as I'm off to work the inner, upper part of my biceps with seated concentration spider curls.
Sorry, I'll drop it now !

Twins sleeping environment
Is it okay for my infant twins to sleep in the same crib together?
4th September 2013 05:46 AM #2
Yes, you can sleep you twins together in the same crib; this is called co-bedding. The research shows this does not introduce any risks for twins aged 3 months and under, but over this age the research shows that it is safest for twins to sleep in two separate cribs. Co-bedding can help twins to regulate their temperature and, for some twins, it helps them to settle each other.
Newborn twins can sleep next to each other in the crib. Once your twins are more than a few weeks old you can sleep them at either ends of the cot with their feet pointing towards each other. A baby sleeping bag is the safety form of cover for twins, providing they meet the manufacturer's required weight for the sleeping bag.
You may find that wearing your twins in a sling in the evening helps to settle them. You can 'tandem babywear'; this is where you wear two babies together.
There is some excellent help on the Dr. Sears website on helping twins to sleep.
Whilst I am passing on some resources to you, I wonder if you have thought much about feeding your babies yet? There is some useful information from La Leche League on breastfeeding twins here. I know there is lots to think about, but just take one day at a time.
I hope this helps you.
Best wishes,

But don't you think that if someone gets effected from any viral infection, the other will be too? and what do you think about buying different bedding for them like from aden and anais www elanlinen com au/aden-anais or somewhere else in Australia?

Early results link PTSD, compromised immune systems
Preliminary results of a study show a link between post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and compromised immune system in war veterans diagnosed with PTSD.
The study, conducted by researchers at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine and Arnold School of Public Health and the Dorn VA Medical Center, shows that PTSD patients have increased levels of inflammation, caused by an increase in certain types of cells that regulate the immune functions.
The results are significant because they could lead to novel methods for diagnosis and treatment of PTSD, said Dr. Prakash Nagarkatti, associate dean and Carolina Distinguished Professor at the USC medical school, who is the lead researcher in this study.
The findings also are the basis for a new, $1.72 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to Nagarkatti and his team of researchers, who will intensify their research on the pathological basis of immune dysfunction in war veterans with PTSD.
"PTSD is a psychiatric condition with long-lasting symptoms that can occur after exposure to extremely stressful life events," Nagarkatti said. "Patients with PTSD are six times more at risk of committing suicide, and the annual loss of productivity in the United States is estimated to be approximately $3 billion."
Nagarkatti said that about 30 percent of Vietnam War veterans developed PTSD during, or at some point after, the Vietnam War, and more than 35 percent of returned Iraq and Afghanistan veterans have received mental health diagnoses, the most prevalent being PTSD. However, the precise physiological mechanisms that lead to the development of PTSD are not clear.
Investigators will test the basis for immune dysfunction in war veterans with PTSD. The researchers will test the hypothesis that traumatic events experienced by PTSD patients may trigger changes in cells in the immune system.
"Because the immune system and the nervous system interact closely with each other, dysregulation in one can severely affect the other, leading to the onset of clinical disorders associated with PTSD," Nagarkatti said.

LINCOLN, NE -- Yet another small child has been found inside a skill crane. This time the incident occurred in Lincoln, NE, where local news media say a 24-year-old woman called police from her apartment on April 14 to report the disappearance of her three-year-old son. Nearly simultaneously, another call reported a young child romping in a skill crane amid plush toys across the street at Madsen's Bowling & Billiards. Police quickly put the two incidents together and reunited mother and child.
The number of young children found in skill cranes has risen sharply over the years. The frequency of the reports has turned the occurrence into something of an Internet meme, generating hundreds of images of trapped toddlers online, at least one television ad depicting an adult encased in a skill crane and more than one "mommy blogger" calling for increased safety regulations for claw machines.

This Elul, the month of preparing for the Days of Awe, Rabbi Michael Ross invites you to reflect on the past year by trying your hand at spiritual journaling.
BY: Rabbi Michael Ross
The single most important spiritual practice in my annual High Holiday preparation has nothing to do with Jewish rituals per se. During the month of Elul, the month of preparing for the Days of Awe, I take a pen in my hand and begin journaling. Sometimes I use writing prompts, sometimes I simply journal. At the moment I put pen to paper, or now more frequently, type on my keyboard, I stop thinking and just write. I don't edit these words. I simply allow them to flow out of me.
After the words slow down, my writing session ends. And I feel better. I experience this huge sense of relief and accomplishment. A few minutes later, I find another prompt or encounter a new idea and the process begins again. It is always new, always fresh and always real. These are the words of my soul on paper or on screen.
The Jewish mystics teach that this type of writing prepares us for the Days of Awe. If you don't keep a journal already, I invite you to try it this Elul. Here are a few prompts to help you get started:
1. What stands out about the past year? First, just review it your head. Spend 30 seconds remembering each of the occasions listed below. What were they like for you? Who were you with? Who was missing? What was the experience like? For the holidays, where and how did you celebrate them?
- Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur
- Sukkot or Halloween
- Thanksgiving
- Channukah and Christmas
- The winter
- Purim or Mardi Gras
- Passover
- Mother's Day
- Father's Day
- July 4
- Summer vacation
Now, take 3-5 minutes to write about your year.
2. What are three things you are most proud of that happened in the last year? How do these moments help you understand your strengths? (3-5 minutes)
3. Where have you missed the mark this year? What was that like? How can you improve next year?
Be gentle as you go through this spiritual practice. Don't criticize or edit your thoughts while you are writing. There will be plenty of time to edit. Simply write. Also, remember that no one else ever needs to read these thoughts. They serve the most important audience: your heart.
Like yoga, swimming, meditating or praying, journaling is a practice. It gets easier each time. And like any practice, too much time away can make it cumbersome, difficult.
Fortunately, journaling doesn't need to take up much time. I typically write for 5-10 minutes a few times a week during the month of Elul and during the 10 Days of Awe. I warm up with a brief review of the past week, month or year. After that, I find a way to feel confident about what is there before assessing what is missing.
Over the past 12 years, I have found that journaling helped me feel that my preparation for the holidays was worthwhile, important. I also deeply dislike walking in on the High Holidays with a sudden desire to remember everything that was really important to me in the past year. This process empowers the writer to truly wake up to his or her own soul before entering the synagogue. Beyond davening and meditating, I have found no single practice as effective for this time of year.
May we have time to hear our soul's story this coming year. Our happiness and well being depend on it.
Rabbi Michael Ross is the education director at Am Haskalah in the Lehigh Valley and teaches at Gratz College's Jewish Community High School.

Ratings for Dr. Jennifer J. Lee
Great doc! I recommended my wife and children to her.
I have been seeing Dr Lee for a year for my bleferitis and I always get a second opinion when I have something going on more long term. I saw another doctor who confirmed everything se said but he was so mean compared to her and she is always so nice. I was glad to know that she was right on the mark with the treatment. I am glad she is my doctor.
Administrative Experience Rating=excellent Administrative Experience Comments=Entering the office, I'm greeted by a welcoming staff who keep my wait to a minimum. Billing likewise is handled quickly and professionally. Very nice. Office Rating=excellent Office Comments=The waiting area is clean and bright (and you might catch her boston terrier sunning himself in the front window!). Dr. Lee Rating=excellent Dr. Lee Comments=Dr Lee stands out in the quality of care she provides. I'm always greeted with a smile, made to feel relaxed in the examination chair and she takes the time to answer any and all questions I may have concerning my care. She appears to take copious notes while I'm explaining my situation and asks relevant questions throughout the visit. She is a rarity in the medical field in the quality of care she gives. Improvement Comments=No need to change anything...I'm so thankful to have you as my ophthalmologist.
I am a ski instructor and I got something stuck in my eye. They were able to get me in the same day! I had to wait around 30 minutes but it was worth it. She was extremely gentle and very sympathetic. She made sure I was comfortable and then had super steady hands and and took this chuck of debris out of my eye. The staff here are awesome. Especially Jae who I talked to on the phone.

PRINCETON, N.J. -- Ivy League women's volleyball reaches the midway point of the conference slate this week as all eight squads will have seven Ivy matches completed with seven to go by the end of the weekend.
Yale and Princeton, both 5-0 in League play, clash Friday night in New Haven, Conn., to see which team can potentially take a one-game lead into the second half of the conference schedule. The next evening, the Bulldogs face a streaking Penn team lurking just behind at 3-2 in Ivy play and coming in fresh off a weekend sweep of Columbia and Cornell. The Tigers are on a streak of their own, entering the week winners of their last five in a row. Following its first-place matchup with Yake, Princeton takes on Brown (1-4 in Ivy play) Saturday evening in Providence, R.I.
Key middle-of-the-pack matches are also on tap for the weekend with Columbia (2-3 in Ivy play hosting Dartmouth (1-4 in Ivy play) Friday night and Harvard (2-3 in Ivy play).
Only one non-League contest on the mid-week schedule this week as Cornell plays host to Binghamton Tuesday night.
Ivy League in the NCAA Statistics
The Ivy League is among the NCAA Division I leaders in several individual and team statistical categories through matches of Oct. 7.
Penn junior libero Dani Shepherd continues to lead NCAA Division I in digs per set at 6.63. She is now in stiking distance of challenging the all-time, single-single mark of 6.87 set last season by Villanova's Kim Maroon. The Quakers are also still in the top spot in the same category at 21.25 per game. Yale sits right behind Penn in second at 19.73 digs per set. The Bulldogs are also in the top 10 in kills (4th, 14.83) and assists (6th, 13.81) per set. Columbia moved into the top 20 in blocks per set in 18th, averaging 2.86 per set.
Cornell junior outside hitter Kelly Marble remains among the leaders in aces per set, ranked 14th at 0.48. Her Big Red is still among the top 20 teams nationally in the category ranked 16th at 1.63 per set. Princeton senior outside hitter Lydia Rudnick moves up the national lists as well, placing 27th in kills (4.25) and 32nd in points (4.78) per set.
Click here for the complete NCAA statistics.
Penn junior libero Dani Shepherd (Los Angeles) led the Quakers' defense with 51 digs in a pair of sweeps over Cornell and Columbia. She upped her digs total to 6.63 per set on the year to extend her lead in pacing all of Division I in that category.
Shepherd came up with 25 digs in the win over Cornell, 21 of
which came in the final two sets which the Quakers were able to
pull out by scores of 27-25 and 25-23. Against Columbia, She had 13
of her 26 digs in the first set alone, setting the tone for the
Quakers in a crucial three-set win.
Shepherd receives her first Player of the Week honor and the first for Penn since Julia Swanson won the award on Nov. 18, 2010.
Shepherd's Weekly Stats
Yale freshman setter Kelly Johnson (Palos Verdes, Calif.) dished out 44 assists, hit .405 and produced 22 kills in key road wins at Dartmouth and Harvard. She just missed triple-doubles in both matches and led in key statistical categories both nights.
In the Dartmouth match, Johnson posted a match-high 24 assists
in 3-1 victory over the Big Green. The next evening at Harvard, she
struck for a match-best 13 kills without committing an error in 18
swings for a blistering .722 hitting percentage. Johnson also added
20 assists and nine digs in the 3-0 win over the Crimson. Johnson
also provided timely points, giving Yale a 15-14 lead to spark a
first-set victory and capped a 10-2 run in an eight-point comeback
in the second.
Johnson is selected for her second Rookie of the Week honor this season after sharing the award with Columbia's Atlanta Moye-McLaren on Sept. 18.

There was such great response from Lulu authors at our blog post about a resurgence of interest in novel serialization, that we thought it would be helpful to talk about…
What's the best way to make a serial novel with Lulu?
EBooks are really the way to go with serialized material, and the most important reason is length. Sizing options for print books require 32-page minimums for the best results. Don't get us wrong, Lulu print books are a great way to compile and release your whole, finished novel at the end of the serial novel process, but most of us can't write 32-page chapters on a regular basis. The short length of a single chapter of a novel is much more suited to a Lulu eBook. In order to harken back to the golden age of serialization, when a reader could sit down with the newspaper and read the latest installment of a Dickens epic after current events, you're going to need a Lulu eBook. Don't forget that Lulu will turn your .doc, .docx, .rtf, and .odt files into an EPUB eBook file for free, and provides retail distribution.
EBooks are also less of an initial investment for the author, of both time and money, and that matches the low initial investment that comes with serialized novels. Think of eBooks as a chance to test the waters with whatever project or concept you just haven't been able to get out of your head but you're not sure will work on a large scale. You can write one chapter, and see if readers are engaged and excited about it. If you release Chapter One and decide, based on reader feedback, that your hero needs a sidekick, guess who you'll be able to introduce in Chapter Two? You guessed it, the pun-hurling partner in crime of your terse heroine.
Whether you decide to go with print or electronic publication (hey, if you crank out chapters Dickensian in length, more power to you!), there are some things you'll want to consider for your personal writing process, and some of the decisions you make after you finish an installment.

Listen to Bright Eyes Radio on iHeartRadio
Conor Oberst says he's accepted Joanie Faircloth's apology. After accusing the Bright Eyes frontman of rape in December, Faircloth came out earlier this week and said her story was "100 percent false."
Oberst issued his own statement on Wednesday, saying that the entire experience has been "extremely difficult and stressful" for him and those he loves. He says he's appreciative of the family, friends, and business partners who supported him throughout the ordeal, and adds that he's looking forward to "happier times as we all move forward with our lives."
Oberst filed a libel lawsuit against Faircloth back in February. It's unclear whether he still plans to move forward with it. A spokesperson, however, tells Rolling Stone that the lawsuit has yet to be dismissed.

Barnoldswick-based Silentnight has teamed up with Lancashire County Cricket Club to be the official business partner for the new 2014 season, in a move that none of the players will lose sleep over - quite the contrary.
As part of the partnership, Lancashire County Cricket Club will see members of its playing squad receive expert sleep advice in a Sleep Clinic run by Silentnight's sleep specialist Dr Nerina Ramlakhan.
Nick Booth, Silentnight's marketing director, said: "Ask any top athletes and they will tell you that sleeping soundly plays as important a part in their performance as training hard or following a healthy diet.
At Silentnight we pride ourselves on providing our customers with high quality, innovative sleep solutions and advice. Our resident sleep expert, Dr Nerina Ramlakhan, will work closely with the players to see how we can help them get a great night's sleep."
Warren Hegg, Lancashire County Cricket Club's business development manager, said: "The difference between winning and losing is often a small one in sport, and we're hoping that working together with the country's top bed manufacturer to improve our players' sleep will give us that extra competitive edge on the pitch."
The deal will see the brand's logo appear on the advertising boards located inside Emirates Old Trafford for all home fixtures, while the ground's electronic screens will also display a Silentnight advert before and during breaks in play.
In addition, the bed manufacturer will be promoted via Lancashire County Cricket Club's social media channels, website and official magazine.
"We're extremely proud of our Lancashire roots and as such we're thrilled to have the opportunity to team up with our county's elite cricket club", said Nick Booth.
