Whether it is in the international markets, or in the Saudi stock market, fear seems to stalk trading. The daily volatility seems to be symptomatic of a deep-seated anxiety and fear that the global credit squeeze, triggered by the US housing crash, is more pervasive then seems on the surface. Confidence is a precious commodity, and never more so than in the financial markets, but this time, despite some massive central bank interventions around the world, market behavior seems more fearful than the previous crashes seen in global stock markets.
In 1987, markets were less interconnected and IT technology was still in its infancy. Despite the largest one-day fall in the US stock market in 1987, the markets rebounded by December of the same year. The collapse was triggered by the fear then that the US economy was slowing down after a period of boom, fueled by borrowed money to fund mega takeovers. In 1997, the problems of Long-Term Capital Management, caused a fall in the global derivatives market triggered by the Asian financial crises of the same year. The difference between then and now is that stock markets, especially in the US, recovered quickly after these dramatic events.
Today, contagion is more powerful in world markets, and fear seems to be a more powerful driver than short-term bouts of euphoria. This even seems to have gripped the local Saudi market, which has seen a slide in the TASI index to the 7,900 levels after failing to effectively break and sustain a rally above the psychological 8,000 level. The international markets are now beginning to deal with the consequences of loose credit lending practices and excesses. On the other hand, the local market seems fearful to take the market index up, just in case they are left exposed to sudden panic selling.
Intra-day trading and quick profit-taking is the hallmark of Saudi trades, and it will be with us for quite a while. All indications, is that the fallout of the US subprime market will not have a direct effect on Saudi financial institutions, as they have minimal exposure to the US mortgage market, and did not have a high dependency on external financing that made them vulnerable in a credit squeeze. What domestic institutions will face is a tightening of lending margins and a more rigorous credit regime in line with world standards that could affect domestic borrowing.
However, until one can be more precise about the extent of possible credit loan defaults, the markets will continue to be driven by fear. Some brave souls in the financial community have urged fellow bankers to come clean on the extent of their subprime losses, but this call for transparency has not been heeded, as it flounders on one obvious issue: no one seems to have an idea about the extent of such losses, and this, in turn magnifies the current market fear.
Some institutions have attempted to allay such fear by stating that their Structured Investment Vehicles (SIV's) assets remain strong, but again nobody seems to trust such statements.
This leads to a financial catch 22 situation — if such SIV assets cannot be refinanced in the commercial paper markets, the lenders to SIV's have to take the underlying assets directly back on their books, and if they cannot be sold, then it is difficulty to assign a meaningful price to them. What will emerge from the current fiasco is tighter financial regulatory supervision of the risks posed by collateralized debt obligations, and other synthetically constructed debt instruments.
After some years of quiet warning about such instruments, the sudden collapse, and credit crunch has caught central bankers off-guard and there are many red faces all round. Some would argue that it is not the job of central banks to control and stifle banks from creating wealth through new risk instruments, otherwise financial engineering would stand still. That is a good argument, and if no lasting damage is done to the financial system, then central bankers will collectively sigh in relief. The simple truth is that greed had overtaken events in the management of risk, and such risks is now putting whole economies at risk and have embarrassed regulators. Only time will tell which argument will prevail, but for the moment, fear dominates the markets' actions due to this precise unknown factor.

Some houses stand out due to their grandeur, or due to architectural style, but one ruin along Litchfield Turnpike stood so tall in spite of its boarded-up windows that it became somewhat of a landmark at the corner of Bradley Road. Last month, when cold February winds were whipping across the Woodbridge flats, the teeth of an excavator started ripping into the home and eventually demolished it.
Across the street, Anna Dickerson and a few family members watched as the house that had been built by her grandfather, Pasquale Perrotti, in 1923 was taken down. Perrotti was one of a family of thriving farmers in The Flats, as this area still is sometimes called. He and his wife Anna raised 12 children in the house. According to the assessor's map, it had four bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Only one of those children is still alive, Anna Dickerson's 102-year-old mother. Even so, Anna and her cousins remember visiting her grandparents' house, with aunts and uncles having coffee in the kitchen, or during hot summer days, in the basement kitchen. The demolition brought up memories of all generations playing Bingo together (they used buttons for marking numbers) or just playing in the yard. "It was so sad to see that wonderful old house go, but it was in terrible condition," Dickerson wrote in an email.
The family had sold the property to Woodbridge Village Associates LLC in 2004, who planned to combine the eight acres of this property with adjacent plots for a development of some 140 units of active adult housing. But the project hasn't gotten off the ground, and the house stood empty for many years.
It attracted vagrants, said Land Use Analyst Kristine Sullivan. One of them lived in a tent on the third floor without any heat or electricity. The town received complaints about it, "people wanted it down". She said there were other buildings on the property that the town has condemned over the years. As with most older buildings, there was asbestos that needed to be removed. The cost for demolition is the responsibility of the property owner.
Even if the Woodbridge Village development is dormant, the property owner, represented by Attorney John Knuff, recently requested an extension of the site plan approval. The town's Plan and Zoning Commission was scheduled to take up the issue at its March 6 meeting. For Anna Dickerson, the active adult project would be a real boon for the town. "This was a perfect project as the property is near shopping and a bus line and has city water and sewers already in place," she said.

Founded in 1835, the city of Aiken was named after William Aiken, the president of the South Carolina Railroad. The town is the county seat of Aiken County, South Carolina,United States, which was formed in 1871 from parts of Orangeburg, Lexington, Edgefield, and Barnwell counties. With Augusta, Georgia, it is one of the two largest cities of the Central Savannah River Area. It is part of the Augusta-Richmond County Metropolitan Statistical Area. Aiken is home to the University of South Carolina at Aiken. The population was 29,494 at the 2010 census. Aiken was recognized with the All-America City Award in 1997 by the National Civic League.
|Aiken, South Carolina
The Aiken County Courthouse in August 2007
Location of Aiken, South Carolina
The municipality of Aiken was incorporated on December 19, 1835. The community formed around the terminus of the South Carolina Canal and Railroad Company, a rail line from Charleston to the Savannah River, and was named for William Aiken, the railroad's first president.
Originally it was in the Edgefield District. With population increases, in 1871 Aiken County was organized, made up of parts of neighboring counties. Among its founding commissioners were three African-American legislators: Prince Rivers; Samuel J. Lee, speaker of the state House and the first black man admitted to the South Carolina Bar; and Charles D. Hayne, a free man of color from one of Charleston's elite families.[
Aikenas a planned town, and many of the streets in the historic district are named for other cities and counties in South Carolina, including Abbeville, Barnwell, Beaufort, Chesterfield, Colleton, Columbia, Dillon, Edgefield, Edisto, Fairfield, Florence, Greenville, Hampton, Horry, Jasper, Kershaw, Lancaster, Laurens, Marion, Marlboro, McCormick, Newberry, Orangeburg, Pendleton, Pickens, Richland, Sumter, Union, Williamsburg and York.
In the late 19th century, Aiken gained fame as a wintering spot for wealthy people from the Northeast. The Aiken Winter Colony was established by Thomas Hitchcock, Sr. and William C. Whitney. Over the years Aiken became a winter home for many famous and notable people including George H. Bostwick, James B. Eustis, Madeleine Astor, William Kissam Vanderbilt, Eugene Grace, president ofBethlehem Steel, Allan Pinkerton, W. Averell Harriman, and many others.
The selection of a site near Aiken by the United States Atomic Energy Commission to build a plant to produce fuel for thermonuclear weapons was announced on November 30, 1950. Residences and businesses at Ellenton, South Carolina were bought for use for the plant site. Residents were moved to New Ellenton, which was constructed about eight miles north, or to the several neighboring towns.
The site was named the Savannah River Plant (subsequently renamed the Savannah River Site in 1989). The facility contains five production reactors, fuel fabrication facilities, a research laboratory, heavy water production facilities, two fuel reprocessing facilities and tritium recovery facilities.

|Re: voting
|Thu, 08 Jan 1998 14:11:11 GMT
Observations and suggestions from a minor contributor... If too many people had the ability to commit-then-review then things would probably fall through the cracks unreviewed, which is a problem in the opposite extreme of what Dean wants to solve. However, considering who this request is coming from, I have to wonder if some middle ground is possible. If the voting members give Dean (or others later on) a +1 to dive into 1.3 (or 1.2 if the votes turn up), this privilege might entail the responsibility to report after the fact what actions were taken using it. And such a rare privilege probably should have an expiration or renewal date to keep it rare. This isn't something you'd want to do for just anyone. But there must be benefits to reducing restrictions on some of the project's most exceptional contributors who have earned the privilege and can be trusted to live up to the accompanying responsibilities. Maybe call it the "temporary accelerated development" privilege or something like that. If the idea is adopted, it should probably be codified as an amendment to the voting procedures. -- Ian Kluft KO6YQ PP-ASEL Cisco Systems, Inc. firstname.lastname@example.com (work) email@example.com (home) San Jose, CA > From: Dean Gaudet <firstname.lastname@example.com> > Oh P.S.

Article Title
Humans and Monkeys Exert Metacognitive Control Based on Learning Difficulty in a Perceptual Categorization Task
Document Type
Recently, Redford (2010) found that monkeys seemed to exert metacognitive control in a category-learning paradigm. Specifically, they selected more trials to view as the difficulty of the category-learning task increased. However, category-learning difficulty was determined by manipulating the family resemblance across the to-be-learned exemplars. Although this effectively influenced the learning difficulty, difficulty was confounded with novelty. For instance, a weak family resemblance made category learning difficult, but also increased the amount of perceptual change from trial to trial. The current research rules out novelty in favor of difficulty by manipulating the number of dots involved in the dot distortions while controlling the amount of perceptual change.

Banks-Vernonia State Trail is a 20.6 mile moderately trafficked point-to-point trail located near Buxton, Oregon that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail.
dog friendly
nature trips
road biking
wild flowers
So much fun and not too hard for a beginner like me :-) We did 8 miles before we turned back and we only saw a few others on the paved path which was cool. We saw a few snakes, cows, and goats along the way which was fun!
Easy paved trail, wheelchair accessible. Great for families and dogs
My girlfriend and I rode this for my birthday and it was awesome! We stopped in Vernonia for some adult beverages before heading back so our total miles was closer to 42.
The trail is well maintained and scenic; only real nuisance was the highway traffic nearby.
I definitely recommend this to anyone who owns a practical bike as it's very doable for a novice.
My husband and I are recreational riders using 7 speed bikes. We rode the section from Banks to Buxton and back which is about 7 miles each way. It was challenging, but not highly strenuous,the last couple miles on the not steep but continuous uphill grade. The ride back down the 2 miles required virtually no pedaling. We plan on this ride again along with the ride from Vernonia to Beaver Creek which looks like some up and down but not steep terrain.
A nice shady path through the woods on this hot day. Long slow climb from Banks to the halfway mark, then blessed downhill. Bring water as there is none available along the trail. Banks Bicycle Repair shop in Banks at end of trail has friendly helpful people, Len Punzel and his wife, who got us back on the trail quickly with excellent work (they also rent bikes).
Great trail. Good for kids, dogs, horses, bikes, walkers and more. Almost the whole buxton to stub Stewart is heavily shaded, great paved path or you can walk on the side on the horse track. Light incline probably gained 400 feet. Benches and picnic tables along the way.
A beautiful and quiet bucolic trail with beautiful views and clean air that is a refreshing alternative to the city. The drive to the entrance is easy for any vehicle and the walk isn't congested.

Connecticut's Shared Work Program
- Details
- Created on Wednesday, 01 July 2009 12:18
Click here to download a pdf copy of this article
Connecticut's Shared Work Program permits employers to reduce work hours while affected employees collect unemployment compensation equal to some or all of their lost earnings. Under the Program employees share the impact of reduced demand, but receive unemployment compensation benefits they would not otherwise be eligible for. To qualify for the Program, at least four full time employees must participate in the plan, employee hours must be reduced by 20 to 40 percent, employers must maintain all benefit levels, and the reduction in hours must be in lieu of a layoff of an equivalent percentage of the workforce. Employees must still meet the general eligibility requirements for unemployment compensation. Interested companies should contact the Connecticut Department of Labor at 860-263-6660 for an application, which typically takes up to 30 days for review and approval.

Burgers & Bourbon - yes please!
October 19, 2013, 12:00 AM | Posted by Emily Richardson in the bar car
Bourbon is delicious, year-round, no question. However, fall really gives it the chance to showcase its magical ability to warm your bones and give you that intangible sense of wellbeing and delight, doesn't it? …Can you tell that we really like bourbon? As you dive into boots and sweaters and piles of leaves, think about joining us for Burgers & Bourbon, a Wednesday evening event that we hope to offer on a regular basis! Our first one was last week, and we were thrilled with the turnout and enthusiasm of our guests. Our ever knowledgeable bar manager, Eric, selects three small batch bourbons to taste and discuss. Paired with an expertly crafted grass fed burger and a beer to complement, it's a great way to spend a Wednesday.
Bourbon varieties and burger change each time; last week's burger was topped with bourbon glazed bacon, grilled onion, yellow house cheese and mustard aioli. Next week we'll feature a bacon, mushroom and swiss burger!
Call us at 216.932.3333 to sign up. We are happy to make adjustments for dietary restrictions, but we must know when you call to reserve! Our next Burgers & Bourbon night is Wednesday, October 23rd at 7:30pm, and the cost is $25.

Former Auburn OL to miss NFL Combine, Pro Day workouts due to injury
Auburn's top projected draft pick's stock may soon be dropping.
Former offensive tackle Shon Coleman is not expected to participate in on-field workouts this week at the NFL Scouting Combine due to a knee injury, according to AL.com's Brandon Marcello.
Additionally, Coleman is not expected to be able to be ready for Auburn's Pro Day on March 7 either.
Coleman, a 6-foot-6, 313-pound offensive lineman, is scheduled to be cleared sometime in mid-April, per Marcello.
Coleman did participate in the bench press test at the combine, posting 22 repetitions.
The tackle underwent surgery to repair a torn MCL in his right knee after the 2015 college football season came to an end.
Coleman started 25 games at left tackle for Auburn each of the past two seasons, while appearing in 32.
In 2010, Coleman was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia before ultimately returning to the football field in the spring of 2012. After redshirting, he became an integral part of the TIgers' offensive line.
The former Auburn standout is considered one of the top run-blocking tackles in the 2016 draft class and was projected to be drafted in the early rounds.

Conman with Catch Me If You Can moves gets caughtOctober 5th, 2008 - 4:44 pm ICT by ANI
London, Oct 5 (ANI): International conman, Anthony De Clerck, who has been living life like the fraudster in the Hollywood movie Catch Me If You Can, was arrested on October 4 after cheating his victims out of hundred of thousands of pounds.
De Clerck, 39, a Belgian, had passed himself off as a US spook, a lawyer in Paris, a businessman in Monaco, a company manager in Brussels and a Jewish nobleman, reports the Daily Express.
He even admitted, at York Crown Court, that he had conned his girlfriend into loaning him thousands of pounds, and even committed deception.
The fictitious background he led, even made him pervert the course of justice when he gave police a false name and date of birth when arrested at her home in Whitby, North Yorkshire, for which he was jailed for two and a half years.
The name De Clerck had used, when meeting the woman on holiday in Italy in 2004, was Rudiger Sloot, the court revealed.
Cumbria Police investigating an alleged hotel fraud had also arrested the conman last March, and when they checked with Interpol they discovered he had many aliases.
Chris Albert Vermeersch and alleged nobleman Peter van Damme were some of the names he had used.
De Clerck is now still under investigation over the disappearance of 100,000 pounds from the accounts of Graythwaite Manor Hotel in the Lake District, where he had worked as a chef and manager. (ANI)

Make 'N Break Challenge Rules: http://files.boardgamegeek.com/file/download/63vmbr1o22/Illustrated_rules.pdf?
Make 'N Break Challenge is a fun block building game where the goal is to build the shape on the card, BUT do it faster than your opponent, AND do it with only a giant pair of wooden forceps.
There is a clear card holder which displays the upright, double-sided building card to the dueling players as they are each presented with the same goal and matching sets of building supplies.
The cards vary in difficulty and point value, with the winner of each individual duel collecting the card and points.
|My son was very pleased to take this picture of my creation as the top piece was falling off.
My son got a little worked up by the pressure of speed-building something against me. He saw it as inherently unfair since I was older (and by his definition, had more building block towers with tongs-experience). He does have a point. My motor skills are considerably more developed, as is my experiential knowledge of stacking, friction, balance and chopsticks. He seemed to enjoy playing in more of a free-play mode where he challenged himself (or his imaginary friend, Bududada).

The Creston Valley Thunder Cats bounced back from a game one loss to down the Kimberley Dynamiters 4-1 Wednesday, tying their divisional finals 1-1.
Cats Coach Jeff Dubois thinks the message was sent early from Kimberley that his team won't get by only giving 80-85%.
Dubois says that with pride and a little bit of desperation, on Wednesday, his guys came out to play.
The Coach explains his team doesn't want to get too up after just one win and is sure there will be push back from the Nitros.
Though if the Cats can duplicate their effort moving forward, Dubois thinks they will have success in a lot of games.
However, he believes it won't be a quick or easy series and thinks the Nitros feel the same way.
Dubois says it's going to be a battle and imagines as the series gets deeper, the nastiness and physicality between the two teams will be heightened.
He knows there is already a mutual dislike between the players on the ice and predicts it will continue to build as they see more of each other.
The Cats and Nitros will play the Kimberely Civic Centre in their next two games.
Puck drop for game three is set for 7 pm MST on Friday.

A Bittersweet Farewell
Graduation is always an exciting time for any school. The sense of excitement, happiness and anticipation for what the future may hold may be just as strong as the bittersweet feeling that an important time in life is coming to an end.
As teachers, parents, relatives and staff gathered at The Eden School on June 22nd, applause echoed through the building as our five graduating seniors, paraded through the front doors of the school, one final time. Dressed in matching red gowns, with their graduation tassels swaying as they moved, each grinning and offering a peek at their individual personalities. Not only were these proud students marching to the stage to receive their diplomas, but they were also continuing their march into their journey to adulthood.
Along with our graduating seniors, The Eden School was also pleased to announce on June 21st, eight students who are moving up to their next classroom from our Middle, Intermediate and Transition classes.
We are proud of our graduates and their achievements and wish them success as they move on.
In addition to celebrating our students, Eden's teaching staff took time last week to celebrate their Eden Pride with our annual Eden Spirit Week. Highlights from the week included: Pajama Day, Superhero/Villain Day, Sports Jersey Day, Throwback Thursday, Eden Pride Day and Lip-sync Battle Day.

When purchasing a house, a home inspection should always be a part of the buying process. The services of an inspector who is certified by The American Home Inspectors can identify numerous types of problems in the home. However, it is not fail proof.
Even the most experienced home inspector cannot detect everything. In some cases, you may consider hiring a specialist to inspect the problem areas that are missed during a home inspection. Here are some common issues that may arise after you move in:
Sewer Lines
While inspectors can determine if a line is entirely blocked, partial blocks are frequently missed. The water may need to run for substantially longer for the problem to appear, or it may worsen after your family moves in. Damage to the pipes may not show, particularly if the home has not been in use for a while.
Electrical Troubles
A home inspector does not have the training nor time to perform an in-depth inspection of the electrical workings of the home. They will check all of the outlets and switches in the home, but may not be able to determine deeper troubles and malfunction origins. For these, you will need to hire a certified electrician.
From the roof to the piping beneath your home, leaks can be caused by a variety of home problems. Left untreated, they can be a source of mold and create damage to the foundation and structure of your home. However, they are not always easy to detect.
If your home inspection is during the dry season and the previous homeowner has painted any stains or otherwise covered the visible damage from the leaks, your inspector will likely not find it. For leaks inside of the home, if the previous residents have already vacated the building, the water may have already dried, leaving no trace of leaks. The water may need to be on for a few days before they become visible again.
Determining when an HVAC system is going to fail is virtually impossible. It may operate powerfully for years or have a vital part malfunction tomorrow. If an inspector checks out your home during moderate weather, the system will not be put through the same rigors as during extreme temperatures. One heat wave or freeze snap may be all it takes to cause system failure.
Because the price of an additional, thorough inspection is so high when compared to just replacing a unit, most inspectors do not recommend it. Check the maintenance records of the previous homeowner. The more diligent they were about regular maintenance visits, the greater the chance it is in good order.
However, if you have an old furnace, you may want to have the heater exchange inspected separately. A cracked one can be dangerous by raising carbon monoxide levels in the home.
Structural Damage
The roof, foundation and internal walls can have problems that are not detected in a traditional home inspection. In some cases, the inspector may suggest that you bring in a contractor who specializes in the area in question to make an assessment, including the cost of repairs.
Septic System
One advantage to using the public sewer system is that you need not worry about this one. However, if the home has a septic system, you will be responsible for it. Some states require an inspection of the system. Even if yours does not, you may want to see if the previous homeowner pumped it regularly and performed other relevant maintenance tasks.
Buying a home is the largest investment most people make in their life. Make sure that you are choosing wisely by having the house inspected and being aware of troubles that may arise once you move in. These are some of the most common issues you will encounter that even the best inspector can miss.

About a month ago I gave a lecture to 130 first-year medical students about the art and necessity of thinking from causes when dealing with disease. Treating symptoms, which are only effects, is just buying time, I told them, but finding and correcting the cause of a disease will take the disease away.
As one long interested in his theological works and his life, I have wondered just where Swedenborg's travels took him. Where was he at certain key times in his life? What other countries did he visit and for how long? These questions are not always easy to answer. There is a great wealth of facts about Swedenborg and his life, but no simple outline for easy reference. Information is available, but it is scattered here and there, and some of it is inaccurate. This is why it seemed worthwhile to gather as much data as possible in order to create a more accurate chronology. The following is the result of this research.

Modus MMXYZ
Digital Motorized Microscope System
XYZ motorized Material microscope for routine and automatic stitching (mosaic) applications.
The PS1-XYZ system is designed for applications where there is a need for very large images with microscopic details, or repeated capture of images in memorized positions.
In many applications capturing a single image of a material sample is not enough. In order to follow larger structures, cracks or similar, or to have everything in focus at the same time, it can be necessary to capture several images and combine them together, to get an overview, and to see the microstructures at the same time. The PS1-
XYZ system can do this easily in a superior quality.
By controlling the motors from the software the position of the sample is moved to one of the corners of the area of interest, the position is saved, and then the position of the sample is moved to the opposite corner and saved. The system then automatically calculates how many images are needed to cover the full area of interest at the
given magnification, captures all images, and stitches them together with extreme precision, without any kind of artefacts and maintaining the calibration values for measurements.
This can be combined with extended focus and extended exposure in all positions.
In many applications it is necessary to capture many images in the same position of the same type of samples, a position table with all capture settings, can be saved for each type of sample. When loaded into the software, the system moves to each of the positions in the saved table, and captures an image (can be with extended focus and
extended exposure) and saves the image in a predefined library position. In this way hundreds of samples can be captured in predefined positions in a few seconds.
This technique has also been applied to biological samples on a microscope where the locations of cells in a Petri dish were stored and images of each growing cell taken every few hours to enable time lapse movies of the cell growth to be recorded over a few days.
Motorized XY and Z stages. Travel range, precision and speed can be individually specified, dependent on the application.
- Ideal for quality control and research in material analysis
- Extremely simple and intuitive to set-up and use
- Available with different illumination options, ring light, coax light or back light.
- Automatic stitching ("mosaic", "panorama")
- Automatic extended focus and exposure can be combined with automatic stitching
- Positions can be transferred to Electron microscopes or similar type of nano microscopes
- 3D topography and profile measurements

Cold Laser Therapy
Cold Laser Therapy in Naperville, IL
Gelband Natural Health & Chiropractic
Cold Laser Therapy in Naperville, IL: Cold laser therapy is a non-invasive, painless, low level laser that stimulates damaged tissues, enhancing the rate of healing and providing relief from pain and inflammation.
Low Level Laser Therapy is a form of phototherapy which involves applying a low power light to injuries and lesions to stimulate healing. Cold laser treatments are used in the management of chronic injuries, pain, neurological impairment, and facilitate the healing process in numerous injuries and illnesses.
Cold laser treatment can help chronic pain and inflammation due to its capability to penetrate the skin and treat soft tissue injuries. It is a proven technique that is very popular in Europe and has been gaining popularity in the states for those seeking effective pain treatment without medication or surgery
Some of the common issues that cold laser therapy can treat:
- Arthritis
- Burns
- Swelling
- Sports injuries
- Ligament injury
- Muscle strain
- Regeneration of the nerves
- Joint injuries and pains
- Wound healing
Non-invasive and medication-free treatment of muscle injury
When you come in for your sessions, low-level light is applied directly to the problem areas. The tissue then absorbs the light. The body has a natural reaction to red and near infrared light. This reaction can promotes the regeneration of damaged cells. The laser is not cold, but it is called cold laser therapy because the low levels of light are not enough to heat the body's tissue.
During the procedure, you'll feel the device against your skin, but it creates no heat, sound, or vibration. It is completely non-invasive and painless. Our chiropractors will work with you to formulate the best treatment plan to manage your pain.
Cold laser therapy benefits most conditions…make an appointment today
Cold laser therapy is a great, low-risk option for many issues. Reduce or eliminate your pain! Give us a call today to schedule your appointment: (630) 505-4040.

I've had the same playlist on repeat for the past two weeks: Mellow Days, and it has the strangest concoctions of songs, but somehow it is incredibly soothing.
I guess you could say that music has become my motivation lately, and even though I've still not interacted with anyone outside of my own home for nearly three weeks, I think I'm doing pretty well.
There comes a turning point in life where you look back and realise you didn't have it that bad after all, and all things considered, it could be a lot worse now, so it's okay to not have all your shit together.
I feel that we're all so focused on succeeding in life that we forget to live in the moment. We bypass others for our own happiness, and it is only until we're hit by a tragedy that we stop for a moment. I've definitely been that type of person who uses her experiences to benefit others. Pushing through the pains of life to not only learn from those experiences, but to come out better on the other side. So I might look like I've got it all together, but I don't, and I know that's okay.
Vulnerability isn't weakness it's strength.
I guess I've never been one to wallow in self-pity, I mean I hate pity and I think that's the main reason I've been avoiding the world. I'm still a little vulnerable, but I'm finding that to be apart of me that I never really opened up to before. It's like this hidden strength that I've been keeping at bay, too afraid of its outcome to realise that it is something that will take me much further than a brave face.
I suppose what I'm saying is that it is okay to struggle through an experience. There isn't a shame in asking for help, but that it's also okay to not have it all together.

When it comes to solar energy you may be in the dark. A lot of folks don't exactly know what solar power is about. Getting properly informed about solar energy means you can make better choices about solar power. Keep reading to learn more about solar energy.
It is important to know that about the two main types of photo-voltaic solar panels. Polycrystalline panels, while relatively affordable, lack the efficiency of monocrystalline panels. If you want your solar energy system to provide power to your home, get a system that is efficient
Be smart and choose a type of solar energy system that can store energy for use when the sun is not bright. More recent solar panels can gather energy from the sun and allow you to use it whenever you would like. If you most of your energy usage occurs at night, this is ideal.
There are smaller options for beginning with solar power. There are two ways to go about this. You must first consider solar panels that can be mounted around your windows for the charging of your electronics. There is also camping equipment that is solar powered, like lanterns and stoves. Every little bit shaves a little off of your electric bill.
Using a solar water heater is an excellent way to help the environment. Choose a water heating system that fits your needs and your budget. You can install one in any sunny location.
Don't let a salesman sell you anything. You need to make sure you take the time to gather information on all of your solar options and make the right choice for you. If you're pressured into buying things from someone then that could be the wrong decision and you'll be out that money.
If you only want to go partially solar, look at small-scale applications for this energy source. You can do this two ways. You could attach solar panels to your windows and use these to recharge smaller electronics. Second, purchase solar powered camping products like lanterns or stoves. Every little bit shaves a little off of your electric bill.
Do the math prior to making the decision to invest in solar panels. In some parts of the country, you may have to pay far too much for the combined output and overhead. Rushing into solar energy without doing your homework may lead to a nasty surprise.
Many solar panels are fixed in place but others allow for movement to track the sun's path to get the most power from the sun. But if you have to have a fixed panel, choose the best compromise between positions that you can.
Check the inverter every so often if you add solar panels to your home. Look to be sure that the indicator light is solid green. If the inverter light is blinking or not on at all, you should call a technician to come out and fix the problem. Most owners do not have the knowledge to solve most problems. A technician can often come free if you have a warranty.
You need to find a backup solution you can use if your panels are not producing any power. You can retain a connection to your local power grid or install an generator. If you purchase a generator, be sure you regularly test it, and you may wish to have more than one unit.
Solar panels will reduce your heating bill, as will solar water heat producers. Photovoltaic panels are most effective in regions that have a minimum of 5 continuous hours of sunlight. Solar water heating can significantly reduce your heating costs, especially if you have a swimming pool that you heat up.
You can make a solar system installation more affordable by looking into grants and rebates. Seeing how much it costs to get solar power installed can be quite daunting, but you can usually find some help with the costs. Verify whether state or federal rebates and grants are available to assist you. You might be surprised at how much you can save. You can often deduct it from your income tax, too.
Monitor your current energy use. You need to know exactly how much power you need on a daily basis before switching to clean energies. If you want to choose a properly sized solar energy system, this information is extremely important. It is best to review a full year's worth of energy bills to get a firm idea of your seasonal consumption.
Be certain the solar panels you choose are installed in the most advantageous way for sun exposure year round. To figure out where to place your panels, you may need to keep an eye on the sun's path each day, and think about if this will change in a different season.
It is not necessary to be hooked up to power grids in order to connect solar power systems. The solar power system provides your home with all the electricity it needs; therefore, you do not have to worry about losing power whenever your city does. This allows you to save money and have power when others are in a blackout.
Solar Energy
There are many factors that may affect the placement of solar panels and the angle for optimum sunlight. Make sure there are no trees casting shadows on your panels and clean the surface of your panels regularly.
If you are environmentally conscious, consider adding a solar energy system to your home. Solar energy is a great way to go green since it uses a renewable resource. Using solar energy will lessen the amount of fossil fuels you use.
Before you decide on any type of solar power system, take the time to educate yourself about it and understand how it works. The newest technologies are more effective but a few solar companies still sell the older technology. While the outdated technology is cheaper, the new technology is more efficient.
If you're constructing a new home, consider solar energy to provide power to your house. Solar energy produces power, and it has little effect on the environment. If it hasn't crossed your mind to do so yet, start looking into it.
Dry clothing outside. This a very efficient and energy saving method. Rather than using your washer and dryer, simply hang clothes out on the line when the sun is out, and allow the sun to dry them. You'll save money this way and your clothes will get dry.
Solar panels can be quite pricey, so it is a good idea to buy just a few of them. An energy audit can be requested from your electric company. This can help you find the ways you waste energy so you can change them. This may reduce the number of solar panels that you'll need to install.
You can maximize the efficiency of your system by getting one that works in tandem with a grid. This way, you can sell unused energy to a local power company. In doing so, you find it easier to cover the cost of installation.
As far as solar panels go, bigger is not always better. The efficiency of a panel depends on its wattage and the materials used rather than its size. Before making this purchase, every factor needs to be thought through.
A good solar heating system will cost you between four and six thousand dollars. Consider the speed at which your savings will pay you back through the years. Solar panels can be installed in small increments.
Solar Panels
Solar energy is an excellent option if the roof of your home receives a minimum of five or six full hours of direct sunlight daily. The money you put in upfront to start and maintain can be worth it here.
If solar panels are something you're interested in, you should start looking carefully at the weather. Solar panels typically need about five hours of direct sunlight each day. If most days are cloudy or if snow covers your roof during the winter, you should explore other forms of green energy.
There are a few things you should consider when you are calculating the amount of energy produced by your solar system. The ratings on the panels are only in ideal situations. Any obstruction from trees or from a cloudy day will decrease the output.
You can clean your panels yourself, but make sure to have someone out once or twice during the year to look them over. Your solar technician will examine connections and readjust the angle of your panels for the best performance of your system.
Your location will determine the best angle for your solar panels. Take note of your location on the earth and the effect that it has on the angle of the sun's rays. This allows you to choose the most efficient angle.
Every season, adjust the angle of the solar panels. When the season changes, the sunlight hits your home from a different direction. Make sure you're maximizing your panels' energy absorption by varying the angle that your panels face. Therefore, you can ensure you are getting your money's worth out of your panels.
If you are interested in solar panels on the roof but cleaning may be difficult, consider solar roof tiles as an alternative. They don't take as much effort to maintain.
Installing a solar energy system in your home is a major project. Talk to different professionals. Conduct comparative pricing and ask for references. Read contracts carefully and do not hesitate to have a legal specialist go over the contracts to make sure you are getting your money's worth.
Batteries for your solar energy system must be stored closely by the solar panels. If your batteries are placed far away from your panels, you risk having lots of displaced energy and you will lower your energy production.
If a full blown solar panel system is beyond your current desire, think about solar water heating instead. Water heaters make up a large portion of the energy that a home consumes during the year. A solar powered water heater is a less expensive alternative to converting your entire home to solar power.
An adjustable orientation mount should be used for solar panels. You can get the best results if you adjust the panels by season or time of day. Bring in a professional to assess your individual situation and determine the optimum orientation your panels should be in for each season.
Solar panels offer so much more besides just lighting up your house. Solar power can provide electricity, save you money and help the environment. This ensures that investing in a solar system is going to affect (or get rid of completely!) the amount you pay on your electricity.
When trying to clean energy panels, you must remember a few things. The first thing that should be considered is safety. If you don't feel confident climbing onto the roof, hire someone to do it. Do not use harsh products that can deteriorate your solar panels over time. All they really require is a thorough rinse and wash with just a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals and scrubbing.
Look for the most effective ways to use solar energy in your home. A lot of solar systems only provide part of the energy that is needed to operate a heating system. Use this energy to run your water heater as well. Assess your needs carefully and compare different products before you decide what kind of system you want to invest in.
Gardens, yards, and children's play spaces can be lit from solar energy. There are many affordable options on the market. If you are an electricity user, you really ought to consider other alternatives.
Solar Panels
Make sure that your panels are cleaned regularly. Just a little bit of dirt will keep your panels from producing the energy they are capable of. Keeping your panels cleaned off regularly will help you get the most power from them.
You don't have to use solar panels on the roof. You may place your solar panels in a number of places around your land or in your yard. If they are fitted with trackers that follow the sun, and special mounts, they can more efficiently capture the sun's rays throughout the day. However, you will lose a good bit of your land.
When buying the system for your solar energy, check out the installers certifications. Different licensing authorities exist, and you need to be certain you have hired qualified professionals. If you plan to submit your receipts to receive a tax credit or rebate, you may be required to provide proof of installation by a certified entity.
Few people understand the ins and outs of solar energy. Having read the information presented here, you should be well-grounded in the basics. You should now be more knowledgeable about the benefits of solar energy. Have this advice in mind when dealing with solar energy.
You need to trim your trees as often as possible. While trees don't grow all that fast, if they get too big, it can be disastrous. It's a good idea to trim back your trees when they encroach within fifteen feet of the solar energy panels. This will help you avoid having your panels damaged.

Leg Day Workout & FORM
15 comments:
Yes! I notice it all the time. Being from Boston, people don't even say hi to each other, so I'm programmed to keep my mouth shut. I think the only time you should maybe give someone some tips if they're performing an exercise with such bad form it will lead to injury. I only offered tips twice. Once the female actually approached me & she was the spin instructor so I was quite flattered to be asked advice. The other time this friendly looking girl was performing this non-sense exercise and I just chatted with her about it & she was thankful. Otherwise minding my own beeswax haha :)ReplyDelete

So much bad form happening in the gym! My biggest pet peeve is watching people working out with a TRAINER and their form is terrible, while the trainer just smiles and says nothing to correct it... then adds more weight! I'm not sure what it's like in the states in terms of certification processes for PTs, but in Canada it's pretty loose, which is so scary. I feel terrible for people who pay a ton of money for a trainer who just happened to take a weekend course.ReplyDelete
I'm pretty silent when it comes to seeing bad form - unless it's extremely hazardous. Then I'll suggest a "different way" of doing it, for better results.... as in, the proper way.Replies
You're right, that is the worst. We have one of those at our gym and it just makes me cringe.Delete
Haha for me it isn't those with bad form I want to say WTF to, it's the (usually girls) doing ridiculous moves that a magazine has told them will get them abs ;) To be honest, I'd probably appreciate someone telling me how to correct my form. I know they aren't getting paid to do this, but personal trainers in the gym could really stand to point this out sometimes, if it means it will prevent someone getting hurt.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes I agree! I go to a big chain gym and see PT's walk by terrible form all the time. I think it would be taken a little better if a PT clearly dressed as an employee helped someone with form versus a fellow gym go-fer… you just never know how people will take criticism.Delete
The worst offenders seem to be people doing lunges and squats with their knees coming out way in front of their toes and/or their knees coming way into the median. SO bad for their poor knees and not at all targeting what the exercise should. I just keep my mouth shut though.ReplyDelete
I would actually like someone to correct me! I know I have trouble with my knee alignment, but I cannot always tell what my knees are doing. When ever I look down to look at my form or even look in the mirror while I'm doing lunches, I lose my balance. haha I would like to learn ways to gracefully approach people and encourage them to do the exercise appropriately.ReplyDeleteReplies
Ya that's when having a spotter or workout partner definitely comes in handy. I"m sure one of the personal trainers at your gym would be happy to help you with form if you asked :)Delete
lunges* (not lunches!) hahaReplyDelete

Be careful when you hyper-extend your back like that!ReplyDelete
Yes I absolutely go NUTS when I see people using bad form. If I know the person, I ALWAYS say something. But if I don't know them (and especially if it's a dude), I just keep my mouth shut. It's really hard because I kinda have a loud mouth, but I don't need someone jumping down my throat at 5:30am! :)ReplyDelete
This was a good suggestion that you put up here...dude…..hope that it benefits all the ones who land up here. fitness ball.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 5, 2014 at 12:57 AM
People get defensive and don't like criticism. it's better to stay quiet!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 24, 2014 at 4:10 PM
I guess you can call me a newbie in the gym, not that I don't workout, but all my life I have played sports or done cardio. I am making an effort to weight train, eat healthy, and tone up. If I new I was putting in all this effort and my form was bad and not maximizing the results I could be getting or potentially hurting myself I would be upset. I have no gym partner and rely on online research and outside advice for my routines so I would greatly appreciate if someone more experienced approached me and corrected my form!ReplyDeleteReplies
