1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is directed to a widget or graphical user interface (GUI) element that depicts three-dimensional (3D) scene orientation and includes direction indicating controls that allow a user to orient a view of the 3D scene to align with the direction indicated by the selected control and, more particularly, to a GUI element that is resident within the 3D scene, stays aligned with the scene as the scene is tumbled by the user, remains in the same position and at the same size in the display as the view changes, and has controls that automatically rotate the scene to a predetermined view when selected where a scene object is centered in the display and sized to fit the display.
2. Description of the Related Art
In the three-dimensional (3D) graphics art where computers are used to perform animation, 3D modeling and other tasks in which a 3D scene is depicted, it is important to orient the user to the view into the scene and to allow the user to easily change the view into the scene. Conventional interfaces 10 in the 3D art, such as shown in
What is needed is a gnomon that can be used to change a view of a 3D scene.
When a user wants to change the view of a scene, such as depicted in
What is needed is a system that provides the user with orientation information and selectable controls for view manipulation that do not require a complex selection process and that visually guide the user to a desired view with directional aids associated with the selection controls.
It is an aspect of the present invention to provide an in scene three-dimensional orientation indicator that automatically remains aligned with the orientation of a three dimensional (3D) scene.
It is an additional aspect of the present invention to provide an in-scene indicator that remains positioned at a predetermined position in the display and at a predetermined size in the display as the scene is manipulated into different views by the user.
It is another aspect of the present invention to provide the indicator with controls or buttons that can be used to change the view of the scene.
It is also an aspect of the present invention to provide the orientation indicator with direction indicators associated with the controls that indicate the direction of the various views that can be selected.
It is a further aspect of the present invention to automatically center and fit the objects in the 3D scene to the display view subsequent to a view change.
The above aspects can be attained by a system that provides an orientation indicator graphical user interface element in a three-dimensional scene where the orientation indicator can be used to automatically change a view of the scene to a predetermined viewpoint. The indicator includes controls that when activated or selected cause the view of the scene to change to a view direction indicated by the control. The view direction associated with a particular control can be indicated by a shape of the control or by the location of a control. The view of the scene is also automatically adjusted at the selected view position to center an object of interest in the scene in the display view and to fit the object to the display view. The indicator is moved about within the scene and changed in size to position the indicator at a predetermined fixed position in the users display view and at a predetermined fixed size.
These together with other aspects and advantages which will be subsequently apparent, reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout.
The present invention is a graphical user interface (GUI) orientation indicator element indicating the orientation of a three-dimensional (3D) scene that has directional buttons or controls that allow the orientation to be changed to align a display view of the scene with the direction indicated by a selected button. The invention can be called a view compass GUI element, tool or widget or just a view compass.
The view compass 30, as depicted in
The view compass 30 is unique in that its position is coupled to the virtual camera or the point of view into the 3D scene as established by an associated system, such as the Alias ImageStudio™ system, making it always available in the same place. The orientation of the compass 30 is locked to the orientation of the virtual 3D world, so that the action of each view-changing handle is visually obvious. This is a change from current ways of switching views in 3D software, as discussed above, that require the user to mentally calculate (or guess) which absolute position they need to switch to in order to get the view they want.
The view compass 30 is drawn as a 3D figure, comprising a core handle (or control) 44 with six handles (or controls) 32-42 arranged peripherally around it (one handle on either side in each of the X, Y, and Z directions). The compass 30 preferably has a form, as depicted in
The preferred compass 30, as noted above, includes cone shaped handles 32-42 where the point 46 of the cone preferably points in the direction of the virtual camera view point, which provides a visual and somewhat intuitive information about what view will be provided when the handle is selected. The compass 30 preferably also has some additional visual cues. One of the handles, in this case handle 44, is a different color to mark it as the "front" direction of the scene, and the system can label the positive X, Y, and Z axes associated with the handles (see
There are a number of aspects of the view compass 30 that it is important to understand. The first is how the compass 30 it behaves in the scene since it is part of the scene. As the scene view is changed the compass 30 changes with the scene. For example, as the scene is tumbled, because the compass is in the scene, the compass 30 also tumbles with the scene automatically maintaining an orientation that matches the orientation of the scene. However, as the scene is tumbled, the compass would normally move within the display view or virtual camera view of the scene provided to the user. As another example, because the compass is part of the scene, if the user zooms into the scene, the size as well as the position of the view compass 30 would be expected to change in the display image or display view presented to the user. The present invention preferably maintains the compass in the same position (preferably a display corner) and at the same size, as will be discussed in more detail below. A second aspect is how the displayed scene changes when a handle of the compass is selected. When a handle is activated the scene is switched to the viewpoint of the handle, the 3D scene object is centered and the display view is resized (zoom-in or zoom-out) so that the object fits within the display as will discussed in more detail later herein.
At all times, the view compass 62 is preferably drawn in the view 64 that it controls. Its position and size are fixed relative to the virtual camera (and in terms of the number of pixels on the computer display, preferably about 110 by 110 pixels), but the compass 62 orientation is fixed relative to the 3D world coordinate system, as can be seen in
Set forth below is pseudo-code for an algorithm that can be implemented in a preferred graphic system in a language, such as C++, and that places the view compass 62 at a fixed position and size, while allowing it to rotate with the world axes.
// Information required for this procedure:
point cameraPosition; // 3d position of the virtual camera
vector cameraDirection; // normalized vector in the direction of view
vector cameraUp; // normalized vector pointing "up" in camera-space
vector cameraRight; // normalized vector pointing "right" in camera-space
angle viewAngle; // horizontal angle of the view frustum of this camera
angle viewAngleV; // vertical angle of the view frustum of this camera
int viewportWidth; // width of the screen display in pixels
int viewportHeight; // height of the screen display in pixels
const int compassSize; // size of the view compass in pixels
const int compassOffset;
// offset of the view compass center
// from the corner in pixels
procedure drawViewCompass( camera, viewport ){
// calculate the width/height of the viewing frustum at
// one unit in front of the camera
float frustumWidth = 2.0 * sin(viewAngle*0.5)/cos(viewAngle*0.5);
float frustumHeight = 2.0 * sin(viewAngleV*0.5)/
// calculate the width of a pixel at a distance one unit in front
// of the camera
float pixelSize = (frustumWidth/viewportWidth);
// calculate the size of the compass in real-world units
setCompassSize( compassSize * pixelSize );
// calculate the position of the compass center
setCompassPosition( cameraPosition + cameraDirection +
((frustumWidth*0.5)−(pixelSize * compassOffset)) *
cameraRight +
((frustumHeight*0.5)−(pixelSize * compassOffset)) *
// No need to set the orientation; it's always aligned with the
// world. We can now draw the compass at the appropriate position,
// size, and orientation.
. . .
The process set forth above starts by calculating how big the view compass would have to be in 3D space to maintain the same apparent size in pixels on the current display. This can change based on the focal length of the virtual camera, or on the size of the window in which the program is running. Next, the process calculates where in 3D space the view compass would need to be located in order to maintain the same apparent position relative to the camera. Once that is done, the compass widget itself can be drawn in a conventional way.
The process discussed above is executed each time the user changes the viewpoint of the scene, such as by tumbling, rotating, translating, etc. the scene. This is depicted in
In addition, the above discussed compass move and resizing process is executed each time the user changes the viewpoint of the scene by selecting one of the controls of the view compass as discussed below.
As discussed above, each handle of the view compass 72 acts as a button or control. As a cursor passes over each handle, as depicted in
The flowchart of
The view compass of the present invention can have a number of different shapes or other features that allow the direction of the view to be visualized, that depict the orientation and that are easy to select. The cone shaped controls of
The system of the present invention also includes permanent or removable storage, such as magnetic and optical discs, RAM, ROM, etc. on which the process and data structures of the present invention can be stored and distributed. The processes can also be distributed via, for example, downloading over a network such as the Internet.
The present invention has been described with the visible part of each cone being a control. It is possible to have a region around each cone that also acts as a control. The axis labels (x, y, z) can also be part of the controls. The present invention has been described as making a front cone a different color to indicate a front direction of the compass and scene. It is possible to make a front face of the core 44 a different color either in addition to or as a substitute for the coloring of the front cone. Iconic representations of the contents of the scene from the various points of view can also be placed on the core faces.
It is also possible to use the compass as a tumbling tool such that dragging a cone will turn the scene. It is also possible to drag an image, such as a texture, and drop it on a cone and have the system paste the image on a part of the scene such as a wall.
The many features and advantages of the invention are apparent from the detailed specification and, thus, it is intended by the appended claims to cover all such features and advantages of the invention that fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation illustrated and described, and accordingly all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.

Acer Netbooks - Tip if your Touchpad stops / doesn't work
Hi all
Just a tip in case any body has this issue.
I don't normally like touchpads but when travelling their use is sometimes unavoidable.
Anyway I just couldn't get mine on an ACER ASPIRE ONE netbook to work on W7 -- installed new driver etc etc which was not required at all.
Anyway I eventually found a really obscure old post that says sometimes you need to press Fn + F7 to get the touchpad working as this key combination toggles it on and off
Hope this might be of use to others where their touchpad doesn't work (or conversely if they want to disable it temporarily).

You sir are a bloody legend! I spent some time today installing and uninstalling drivers, and was seriously contemplating a trip to the store. How embarrassing would that have been!! Thanks. Immensely.

Very useful tips. Especially for those with the touch pad function key hidden.
For few others, like mine (Asus), touch pad key function is listed on the keyboard.

It has been a while since the FCC has leaked an interesting product before its official announcement. The FCC recently leaked a crude line drawing of the bottom of the Lenovo ThinkPad X200t. The line drawing of the bottom of the notebook is all the information offered by the FCC.
With no real information available on the X200t, notebook specifications and features are unknown. In addition to the line art at the FCC, TabletPCReview has an actual photo of the X200t. The photo shows that the notebook has the familiar look that has been used on ThinkPad's since the IBM days with black, blue, and a red nub for mouse control.
The notebook is expected to have wireless broadband capability and will reportedly feature Wireless USB connectivity to allow wireless connections to peripherals. SlashGear reports that rumors point to the X200t having an Intel Core 2 Duo processor running 1.86GHz, 1GB of RAM, 160GB SATA HDD, and a 12.1-inch 1280 x 800 display.
The notebook is rumored to weigh 4.17 pounds and use an 8-cell battery good for 7 hours of use. Wireless connectivity should include 802.11a/g/n along with Bluetooth. The screen will be a pen-enabled touch screen reports SlashGear.
Earlier this month Lenovo officially announced the 17-inch W700 ThinkPad featuring a built-in Wacom tablet.

We originally reviewed ZenMate as a free privacy extension for Chrome about two years ago. The service has now transitioned into the freemium realm, which isn't bad at all, considering the generally positive reviews and efficacy of the service pre-evolved and the numerous and ongoing upgrades discussed in the balance of this review.
Pricing & Plans
The ZenMate VPN proxy extension/plugin is since available on Firefox and Opera. Those who like the free service, but want access to all 12 servers (versus four), platforms beyond browser-based, whether on a PC or smartphone, and 'turbo' versus 'best effort' speeds, might opt for a premium plan. The balance of this review is primarily concerned with the premium service which encrypts all your activities, as opposed to the extension which only applies to the browser in use.
ZenMate VPN is like most providers, in that several pricing tiers are offered for premium service, with perks commensurate to how long you register. A month's subscription will set you back $9.90 – six months come out $8.80 per month. If you choose to commit for an entire year, you're looking at a monthly expenditure of $7.49. While the savings might not be the best, it's worth considering the overall pricing, which falls on the lower end of the spectrum. (Also, note that pricing on the ZenMate website is listed in Euros, not Dollars.)
All major credit as well as UnionPay, PayPal, and Bitcoin can all be used to pay. The latter is ideal for those looking to stay anonymous as possible. Refunds are straightforward, just keep in mind the period to request one is 14 days from the start of the first billing cycle.
Video Review
We here at BestVPN.com put together this ZenMate video review for you to get a better feel of the service:
ZenMate is headquartered in Berlin, Germany, under the similarly named parent company, ZenGuard. The number of servers you can access ranges from 4 to 12, depending on your choice of free or premium service. Server choices are primarily limited to Europe, with Hong Kong, and Singapore – US East and West round out the bunch. Free users have US (East), HK, Germany, and Swiss servers available, but those based outside of Europe might want to look at a premium option for better performance, geographically speaking.
Being based in Germany, unfortunately, leaves ZenMate VPN under the inauspicious umbrella of some pretty shifty laws, including the Data Retention Directive (DRD), though Germany is also famed for its stringent copyright law and hypocritical approach to exporting surveillance tech to nations that can best be rated 'dubious' on the human rights (privacy) front. Many providers opt to operate elsewhere due to these unfavorable factors from a VPN perspective.
ZenMate is unfortunately unavailable or limited in functionality in China, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. Users in these countries should stick to the free iteration of the service, or bear in mind while paying: the unsavory effect of the sentence directly before this one and the screenshot of ZenMate's position on the issue, found above.
Security & Privacy
Things aren't far from absolutely rosy on the security front, using TLS 1.2 (RFC 5245) protocol with 128-bit AES-GCM encryption, RSA handshaking, and robust SHA 256 used for authentication purposes, with PFS also in place.
Connection logs are kept, but only on an ad-hoc per server basis, according to the ZenMate team. P2P isn't expressly disallowed, or encouraged, so the torrentphiles amongst you might want to check personally with support as to that end.
The website
In our Zenmate reviews we note that the provider's website is streamlined to make things easy while (rightly) touting the benefits of and reasons to engage with their services to begin with. The top banner clearly shows the relevant links to Downloads, Payment, and Account areas. Meanwhile, scrolling all the way to the bottom of the page has the F.A.Q section, as well as social media links and corporate information, in addition to the terms of service and privacy policy bread and butter. What's most agreeable, is not needing to navigate through what seems like a mountain of clicks to find anything.
There isn't a dedicated site blog – just the usual social media accounts to stay abreast of ZenMate's news, more on which can be found below in the support section.
ZenMate unfortunately only has support through email, though responses were timely and courteous. On the other hand, the setup guides, and knowledgebase do a superb job of heading off most potential questions in a manner that clearly reflects actual user questions, with appropriate but not overwhelming detail. A forum would be an excellent upgrade in this regard, allowing users to exchange information on-the-fly, and likely further improving the service for all concerned. We hope to see such changes made in future ZenMate VPN reviews.
Social media is pretty standard fare: news about the VPN services and various offers, in addition to infosec tidbits, though Twitter is the only one updated on a weekly or higher basis. Facebook is also kept relatively up-to-date, but more along bi-weekly to monthly timeframes.
The Process
Signing Up
ZenMate VPN registration is speedy on all fronts. Free users just download the extension relevant to their browser software. Alternatively, paid users need just an email, which doubles as a username, password, and billing information (thus allowing for Bitcoin payment and near-full anonymity).
The VPNProvider Windows VPN client
The ZenMate Windows client is simple, but quite effective. No need to mistake the lack of 'artisanal' polish for lack of functionality, with your connection stats clearly on display. Moreover, what's under the hood is nothing short of quite impressive – Autostart with your PC, Eversecure (killswitch), Smart Locations (essentially a whitelist feature allowing you to choose which a VPN server to choose whenever you visit a particular site, say Netflix auto-switches you to a US server), and a Malware blocker (which didn't interfere with my own antivirus software, and can be disabled).
Navigating through the client borders on effortless, the design is made with unobtrusiveness in mind, or, at least, it comes across as such. Keep reading for the excellent performance portion of this review, DNS leaks were not to be found, but there's more.
Performance (Speed, DNS, WebRTC and IPv6 Tests)
Speeds illustrated in the diagram below were above average to great, especially when using UK servers (which are ideal to our test location, geographically speaking). Tests were conducted using a 30 Mbps connection. The lowest speeds hovered in the 5 Mbps downstream range, when connected to US servers, though considering the distance, the results are expected, and more than adequate, to boot. What's more, anecdotal testing ran problem free with more than ten tabs, YouTube, music streaming, and a file download, simultaneously – in peak traffic times.
|Graphs show highest, lowest and average speeds for each server and location. See our full speed test explanation for more detail.
Quite pleasing, there were no WebRTC leaks, Ipv6 leaks, or other DNS leaks to report, on any server – all were tested in this regard! It's rare to come across such thorough attention to DNS leakage from any provider (more a reflection on false advertising and truth-stretching than an explicit indictment of anyone, though examples aren't tough to find), and ZenMate definitely aligns the security Feng-Shui – the way monks adorn a temple – sparely, but with singular purpose.
It's always good practice to run DNS test of your own (at least periodically), using ipleak.net and test-ipv6.com, just to be sure your IP isn't leaking.
Other Platforms
Free users can avail themselves of the same exact security benefits found in the browser-based plugin, while premium users have the added benefit(s) of the killswitch and autostart features, not to mention EverSecure and Malware protection.
As mentioned in this and other ZenMate VPN reviews, ZenMate is accessible on pretty much any device or platform. After all, it's once of the company's newfound strengths. What you didn't know however, is that German users can opt for a business-oriented router (admittedly for the not so cheap price of €395 per year, for entirely encrypted WiFi networks.
Those not based in Germany, or looking for a personal home solution, might want to check out our guide on router encryption.
Zenmate VPN Review Conclusion
I liked
- Ease of use
- Speedy
- Good Encryption
- DNS leak free
- Restrained marketing and overall unassuming atmosphere
I wasn't so sure about
- Plugin loads at start and runs all the time, even when browser is closed
I hated
- Germany is dicey for privacy concerns
ZenMate is worthy of consideration in the upper tier of VPN providers on account of its encryption, software functionality, and simplicity (accessibility), if not being the cheapest, though, price does tend to correlate strongly with overall user experience. Security is redoutable, and though Germanic headquarters are alarming, users looking for reliability over the absolute highest anonymity available on the market could certainly find ZenMate fits their VPN bill.
Security alert 10 May 2017: A reader has alerted us to a security flaw in ZenMate's Windows client. If you disconnect from the the internet (Ethernet or WiFi) when the ZenMate Windows client is running, and then reconnect to it, the VPN software continues to say that you are protected. When, in fact, you aren't. Our reader contacted ZenMate about this issue, but despite claiming otherwise, ZenMate has yet to fix it. If you run ZenMate on another platform, it might also be worth checking that this flaw does not affect you.

Ben McLemore is averaging 28.5 points a game for tiny Eskridge High School in Wellston, Missouri. His offensive outbursts have attracted top schools throughout the Midwest.
"I'm hearing from a lot of schools," McLemore relates. "Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas. My favorite is Kansas right now. They're at the top of the group. My top five are Kansas, Louisville, Kentucky, Purdue and Missouri. Mizzou gave me an offer last week."
Many schools hadn't heard much about him until recently. He has flown under the radar for a couple reasons.
"It's a small school, and the AAU program I play for doesn't get a lot of attention. That's why this summer I'm playing with the (St. Louis) Eagles, so that will pretty much help me get discovered. I'll be playing with Bradley Beal."
The 6'-5", 185 pounder would already have more offers on his plate but for his academic standing. He is working on it.
"I've got to catch up. I got behind my freshman and sophomore years. But I've been picking it up. My grades are good this year."
If Illinois could project him as a qualifier and offered him a scholarship, would he have more interest in them?
"Yeah, no doubt."
McLemore attended the Illini home game with Minnesota, his first time on campus. While the game itself wasn't ideal for a visit, he still formed a favorable impression.
"I like it. There's nice fans, they really get into it. And I like the game and all."
He also likes the reputation of the coaching staff.
"I like the head coach, I like the assistant coach (Jay Price). I haven't talked to the coaches yet. They've been talking to Coach (Jeff) McCaw."
What are the best parts of the shooting guard's game?
"My shooting, my midrange. And my ball handling is improving, I'm picking up the speed. My defense is good too."
Eskridge is closing after this year, so McLemore must decide what school to attend. He is considering two schools that can help him both academically and athletically.
"Me and my mom are deciding where I should go next year. We're thinking about a prep school. I'm looking at CBC (Christian Brothers College) and Chaminade (College Prepatory School). Those are the two we've been talking about."

Monte Carlo Casino Fire
Monte Carlo Casino Fire Victim Lawsuits
Monte Carlo Casino Fire | Lawsuits, Lawyers | Injuries, Damages | Firefighters, Guests, Gamblers, Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS -- Guests and gamblers fled a smoky rooftop fire at the Monte Carlo hotel-casino Friday as flaming embers rained down on the Las Vegas Strip below. It took firefighters about an hour to control the three-alarm blaze at the 32-story hotel.
Clark County Fire Chief Steve Smith said there were no major injuries. An ambulance company spokeswoman said 17 people were taken to area hospitals with minor injuries, mostly from inhaling smoke or from fleeing the building.
None of the 120 firefighters who fought the blaze were hurt. "It could have been very serious," Smith said. "Due to the aggressive firefighting tactics of our personnel we were able to contain it."
He said it was too early to assess damages or say what caused the fire, which began just before 11 a.m. There was no immediate indication of criminal activity or arson, but investigators were looking at all possible causes, he said. Nothing is ruled out at this time," Smith said.
Orange flames licked at the hotel's sign and plumes of thick black smoke poured from the rooftop of the resort. Tourists and residents watched the high-rise fire nervously, perhaps remembering the deadly fire nearly 30 years earlier at what was then the MGM Grand hotel. Smith called the Monte Carlo blaze an exterior fire, which was largely confined to the rooftop and the facade of the upper floors. The facade was made of a foam material that "melted off the side of the building and started a few fires below," Smith said.
Some rooms were damaged when firefighters knocked out hotel room windows, and flames and smoke from outside rushed in, Smith said. Heat and smoke may have set off alarms and sprinklers inside the building, Smith said.
He said the blaze was fought from inside the building, not with ladder trucks. The fire, spread from the center section of the hotel across the roof line. Clark County spokesman Eric Pappa said county officials were told welders were working on the roof of the building before the fire, but reports of workers trapped on the roof were incorrect.
Floors 25 to 32 were immediately evacuated, and lower parts of the hotel were still being cleared about 90 minutes later. We've gone door to door evacuating the hotel," said Gordon Absher, spokesman for the hotel owner, MGM Mirage Inc. "The casino is closed and secured.
Larry Wappel, 25, of San Pierre, Ind., said he and his brother, Eric Wappel, were in a room on the 30th floor when they heard housekeeping staff banging on doors and yelling "Fire, get out!"
He said it took about 10 minutes to walk single-file down the stairs to get to ground level. Wappel said there was no panic. "There were a couple of ladies crying, but it was pretty calm," he said.
Another guest, Renza Badilla, 45, said she exited through the hotel kitchen to find burning debris and embers falling from the roof. I think people were shocked when they saw the smoke," said Badilla, who said she was in the buffet on the main casino level when fire alarms sounded.
"We thought the fire alarms were just drills. But the wait staff and kitchen staff were really helpful getting us out through the kitchen," she said. Guests were taken to the MGM Grand Garden Arena, and employees were evacuated to the adjacent New York-New York hotel, Absher said. Hotel officials said guests would be moved to other MGM Mirage hotels in Las Vegas. They estimated the hotel was almost full and about 900 workers were on duty when the fire began.
As the fire burned, huge crowds formed on the Las Vegas Strip, and traffic was gridlocked as streets were blocked off around the hotel. Helicopters circled overhead. The nearby resorts, Bellagio and New York New York were not evacuated. The Monte Carlo Resort & Casino, with 3,002 guest rooms and 211 suites in its upper floors, is on Las Vegas Boulevard, near Tropicana Avenue.
Joint Venture Hotel and Circus Circus Enterprises?
The hotel, modeled after the Place du Casino in Monte Carlo, Monaco, was a joint venture between Steve Wynn's Mirage Resorts and Circus Circus Enterprises when it opened in June 1996. It is now owned by MGM Mirage Inc. and is planned to be linked by a monorail that will connect it to the CityCenter casino complex and Bellagio to the north.
The Monte Carlo is down the street from the scene of Nevada's deadliest fire, a Nov. 21, 1980, blaze that killed 87 people at the old MGM Grand hotel and led to strict fire codes in Las Vegas resorts. That hotel was rebuilt and sold in 1985 and renamed Bally's. It is now owned by Harrah's Entertainment Inc. The cause of the deadly fire was traced to an electrical malfunction in a refrigerated pastry case in the hotel deli.

The Mid-Ontario Junior C Hockey League was a Ontario Hockey Association Junior C hockey league in Ontario, Canada. Much of its teams were based just North of Toronto and in the Georgian Triangle of Southwestern Ontario. The league merged with the Georgian Bay Junior C Hockey League in 1994 to create the Georgian Mid-Ontario Junior C Hockey League.
The league was founded in 1971 as the South-Central Junior D Hockey League. In 1973, the league became the Central Junior C League Group 1 and in 1974 temporarily merged with the Georgian Bay Loop. In 1976 they separated again and the Central Loop became the Mid-Ontario Loop.

Isn't it a wonderful thing that making a fresh, delicious juice or smoothie each day, or a few times a week, can benefit your skin and help fight the signs of aging? We believe in taking an approach to antiaging that incorporates diet, exercise, stress management, hydration and emotional health plus high performance skincare products. As Tata always says, no matter how many creams and treatments you use on your skin, if it's malnourished or imbalanced from the inside out, it's going to make a difference in the way your skin looks.
Here are 3 antiaging juice recipes, and each one is super – loaded with one particularly powerful antiaging nutrient.
You can mix & match the ingredients from these recipes, depending on what tastes great to you, or on what blend of nutrients you'd like to go for. Try incorporating 2 – 3 fresh juices into each week, to keep the skin glowing, strong, and nourished from the inside out.
Carotenoids are precursors to Vitamin A, which means our body converts them into Vitamin A during the digestion process. There are hundreds of carotenoids, and the most well-known one is Beta Carotene, which is an essential antiaging nutrient. It helps reduce free radical damage, protects skin from age-associated damage, and aids in cellular repair to keep skin and collagen fibers strong. The below foods are all great sources of Beta-Carotene and taste delicious when combined in a juice!
- Yams / Sweet Potato
- Spinach
- Carrots
- Papaya
- Cantaloupe
- Apricot
- Peach
As for ratios of ingredients in your juice, get creative! There are no rules when it comes to tasty juice creation. If you like it to be on the fruitier side, add a few extra papaya slices or apricots. If you want it to be more veggie-heavy, focus on the spinach – you can also add kale or chard to boost the Beta Carotene content.
B Complex
This vitamin family is amazing for supporting the production of energy in the skin's cells, which overall improves the skin's strength and outward appearance. Plus, they improve tone and blood circulation. Blend a few of the ingredients below in a juice that gives your body the daily dose of B Vitamins that it needs.
- Cabbage
- Spinach
- Broccoli
- Apples
- Citrus Fruits – orange, lemon, grapefruit
If you're looking to snack on something rich in B vitamins, try nuts like almonds, peanuts or walnuts, or grab a banana or fig.
Vitamin C
We all know how important Vitamin C is for keeping seasonal colds at bay, and for supporting our immune systems and overall energy. But it's essential for antiaging too: it's required in the formation of collagen, and it helps in the repair and renewal of all bodily tissues. Plus, as a strong antioxidant, it helps prevent free radical damage in the skin.
- Kiwi
- Papaya
- Orange
- Grapefruit
- Lemon
- Raspberries
- Cantaloupe or Honeydew melon
As for veggies, potato, broccoli, asparagus, cabbage, tomato, peppers and leafy greens are all rich in Vitamin C. Load up!
When you make a fresh juice, try to drink it within 24 hours, and keep it refrigerated whenever possible. Plus, it may separate – which is completely natural – just stir or shake it up before drinking so it tastes just right. Also, if you find it's tasting a little strong, blend with some water so it has a lighter flavor.
And, as always, if you're looking to take the topical route, look no further than our award-winning antiaging treatments. These products nourish, strengthen and fight the signs of aging from the outside in, but with the same idea: natural, powerful, healthy ingredients, in super high concentrations. It's a win- win for the skin! Discover them all right here.

What's gotten into Texas Rangers OF Kevin Mench lately? Over the first 10 games, Mench had 0 RBIs. Since then, Mench has driven in 12 RBIs. Why? Well, Mench was wearing shoes too small for him.
The OF already missed five games because of sprain in the second toe of his right foot. To get Mench up and running, he received two cortison injections. After visiting a podatrist, Mench was told that his "shoes are a half size too small." Mench should have been wearing size 12 1/2 instead of 12.
"Man, I'd been wearing 12s since I was 15 years old," Mench said. "That's the last time I had my feet measured -- you know, when I went to the shoe store with my parents. "I guess feet can grow after that."
Armed with his new shoes, Mench hopes to extend this good stretch.

Hello! Welcome to Sandra's Cakes. My name is Sandra Durbin, Cake Designer and Owner of Sandra's Cakes. My passion for cakes began approximately 9 years ago, when I decided to stay home full time to take care of our second child. Prior to that, I was an Administrative Assistant and Public Relations Coordinator. Shortly after Jeremy was born, I was introduced to cake decorating by my cousin Lori, who showed me how to make homemade fondant. I became fascinated with fondant and began doing research and practicing by making cakes for my family. Soon after, some of my friends also wanted cakes, so I got quite busy! I started selling my cakes through JC's Daily Bread and later opened my own cake studio. Being able to turn a hobby into a very successful small business and to obtain the support and respect of other industry professionals has been a great accomplishment. My cakes are known for the attention to detail that I put into each creation. Each cake is truly an edible work of art and one of a kind! Sandra's Cakes are sought out not only for how unique they are, but most important by how incredibly moist and tasty they are!
We book fairly quick as we only take a limited number of orders each week to be able to devote time to each cake. So please book your cakes early!
My work has been featured in 100 Layer Cake http://www.100layercake.com/blog/2012/05/01/secret-garden-styled-inspiration-shoot/, Treasure Coast Bride and Groom Magazine, the Stuart News and Weddings Illustrated Winter Fall/Edition 2010 and 2011 http://www.weddingsillustrated.net/index.cfm?fuseaction=news.details&ArticleId=2377.
I am a self taught cake artist and have to acknowledge that is a gift from my sweet Lord! I love making cakes that are unique and that will be remembered for a long time. I have experimented with many recipes and all of my cakes are baked totally from scratch. That is also a passion of mine; to provide not only a beautiful cake, but a cake that will be tasty and delicious!
I feel fortunate and blessed to be able to do what I have found a passion for and have also found that it is a very rewarding career. Making others happy with my sweet works of art gives me great satisfaction!
Thank you for stopping by! Come back soon as I'm often updating the site with my new creations!
I look forward to serving you and making your next event unique and super special with a custom cake designed just for you and made with lots of LOVE!!!
If you are looking for a cake with a "WOW" factor,

God Bless!
