Hey Anita,
Yes I have had this. I have chronic vertigo and at times I have had the careening to one side thing. Do you have a lesion on your cerebellum or your brain stem? Both of those locations cause balance and vertigo problems. If this is a new problem and it lasts you need to talk to your doctor. You may want your ears checked. This could be an inner ear infection as well. Good luck with getting some relief.
I hope this is better for you now, but wanted to let you know I also have this, and mine is due to a lesion on my cerebellum. Please be careful as this kind of thing can lead to falls. I find that touching walls, furniture etc helps me keep my balance.

If you've been kicking around gyms for a while now, you've probably noticed that steroid use is becoming more and more common. Just here in India, the majority of guys focuses on getting bigger, leaner and stronger faster and hence, shortcuts the process of gaining muscle and strength by engaging in a steroid cycle. These acts are on the rise to get admiration and approval from opposite sex.
People who use steroids have experienced elevated LDL cholesterol levels, elevated blood pressure, increased aggression. Fortunately, they typically disappear after steroid usage stops, but other side effects can haunt you for the rest of your life, like male pattern baldness, decreased sperm count and fertility and male breast growth. Permanent acne scarring is also common and some women can develop more masculine facial features. Some side effects of steroids are listed below:
Increased risk of heart and liver cancer
Many of us exercise so we can live long and healthy lives and reduce our risks of disease but when you take anabolic steroids, you increase the risk of these deadly diseases. Taken over a long period of time in high doses, steroids can lead to developing of liver cancer, increasing the risk of sudden cardiac death.
Steroids Can Cause Impotence
First, if you are yet to have kids and that's something you plan on doing in the coming years of your life, you'll really want to think twice about steroid use. A study published in the Western Journal of Medicine illustrated that there was a direct relationship between steroid use and incidences of impotence, illustrating this connection. Steroid use is going to shut down your own natural production of testosterone, which is key for sperm development and function.
Losing your hair and going bald is typically something most men hope to avoid or at least delay as long as possible. When you take steroids, one side effect is premature hair loss. So the question here arises, Why you risk losing your hair, considerably ageing yourself!
When you bulk up by making an alteration in your diet, surely you get some good fat over your body, but a pair of boobs can develop when you take these dangerous drugs. Steroids suppress your natural testosterone levels, which means your estrogen levels are higher than normal and these can lead to developing breasts.
Taken in high doses and over a long period of time, steroids can make you irritable, violent and stressed out. Steroids can impact how the brain functions and controls your impulses, and thus can result in violent reactions
NOTE: If you're a professional athlete or actor and your livelihood is directly tied to your physical performance or appearance, then you have a good reason to take steroids.

In today's age, it seems to be getting harder and harder for traditional news sites to stay afloat. Social media and the general accessibility of various outlets gives fans so many ways to get their news, which makes this more difficult than it used to be. While many news sites are managing to get by, it's a real shame when one of the old guard is forced to close up shop.
Orochinagi has been around in some form or another since 1997, making it older than some of the people who play King of Fighters XIV today. With that rich history in mind, it's with a heavy heart that we report the announcement made just the other day from Orochinagi, announcing that they'll be concluding service indefinitely. Here's a clip from their retirement post:
"While Orochinagi has grown exponentially and still gets around 420,000 hits a month, it's simply not worth the time and effort. Ad revenue is just not enough to consider quitting the daytime job.
We ran a survey earlier and users responded honestly, explaining that social networks fulfilled their information needs. People wanted websites to remain because news items were quickly lost in the feed, however, the most important news is generally being posted by SNK themselves."
The article goes on to explain exactly what this departure will mean for the site and the content it produces; for the most part, everything is shutting down and the forums will no longer be maintained, but guides and tech resources will stay live. For the full heartbreak and details, clink this link to see the article.
We wish all the writers and staff at Orochinagi the very best in any future endeavours.

CCTV: Dramatic footage of bike accident in Mumbai
This was playing repeatedly on most of the news channels last evening. Not sure if it is a recent case or an old one.
I fear for the rider - seems to have suffered a near fatal blow.
Whose fault is it?
- Auto? Taking a u-turn in the middle of the road?
- Rider? No helmets & maybe overspeeding?
- Civic body? For keeping deep and big drain such as this uncovered?

re: Pics: Accidents in India
I understand what you are saying.
Sorry if you took me the wrong way. I am all for graphic reminders of the fragility of human life. Be it on cigarette packets or such pictures. I even have an image of a woman being split in two to remind my friends to be safe on the roads.
Perhaps the shock value that the picture provides is indeed the most effective way of communicating the ease with which one can lose his/her life.
I just felt that perhaps the image will be a little too much for some of our younger readers to handle.
He is lucky to be alive. No helmet too. 1st year engineering student. Could easily have broken a rib or two given the speed and nature of impact with the stone slab.
That said, between the auto driver and the rider, I would put the blame on the rider.
He seems to be taking a left turn over there. He has no business coming in that fast when he has no sight of the road ahead looks like. Had it been a slow moving bullock cart in the middle of the road, he would've endured a similar fate. As for the auto driver, where else can he possibly take a U-Turn?
As for the civic body, I have always feared such accidents. Even in Bangalore, under the flyover that leads to Domlur from Old Airport Road. No barricades, no wall, no street lights. If someone bumps into you, you will have to face a 10ft fall into one of the stinkiest drains I have ever seen.

re: Pics: Accidents in India
Both the auto driver & the motorcycle rider are at fault. Auto for taking the careless U turn. The motorcyclist is probably speeding a bit too much and not wearing a helmet. That itself is a big fault on the part of the biker. In fact, it's a miracle if he is alive.

Should have used 'without looking' instead of 'middle of the road' there.
As per the complete report - rider suffered cracked ribs, head/limb injuries and is currently in ICU. The pillion suffered injuries on his arm and head.

I wonder when will they run out of luck and instead of running into a pedestrian run it a vehicle much larger.
I have narrowly missed a few of them while cruising on Mumbai - Ahmedabad highway. A distracted or a tired driver can easily end up having a head-on collision.

Its a scary thing.. having big tonners slide around you! I thought I was done for; trucks at the back and trucks at the front, all sliding due to loss of traction on a slightly wet road and me stationary in between them.

Re: À Tata tipper truck crashes into a Jaguar
Interesting. The Jaguar doesn't seem to have sustained life-threatening damage. The truck seems like someone took a huge saw through its body. Imagine what would have happened if it was a Maruti Suzuki Swift instead of the Jaguar involved in the crash.
PS: Tata vs Tata anybody ?

Simply going by the images without the detailed story (I can't read Tamil) it appears the jaguar took it pretty well. The truck on the other hand was damaged considerably. Shows the sturdy nature of a jaguar.
The impact was probably a very high speed one. Apparently breaking the front wheel of the truck itself.

Re: À Tata tipper truck crashes into a Jaguar
Before jumping into conclusions with regard to the build of Jaguar based on visuals accident let me tell you that there is more to this story than what is being circulated widely.
There was a guy who was in another car behind the Jaguar; and he says "The Jaguar was about to overtake a car when it came face to face with the tipper. The tipper driver swerved his truck to the left to save the Jaguar and while doing so crashed into the concrete compound wall. The truck's axle was ripped off as a result of crashing into the wall and not because of hitting the Jaguar".
Nothing good would have happened to the Jaguar either if the tipper didn't swerve to the left.

Re: À Tata tipper truck crashes into a Jaguar
In case of the Swift, on a jovial note think about it, you'd get no images to see here. The truck would've driven away, while the Swift would be ironed out to become part of the road!

True. No car, however well built can cause such a massive damage to the tipper while it itself sustaining such less damage. Had the tipper went headlong into the jag,the result would have been very gruesome with mangled metal of the jag

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is thought to affect millions of women in the UK - and is one of the biggest causes of infertility. But how can you tell if you have it?
As acronyms go, PCOS is a pretty complex-sounding one. But it's one that actually affects millions of women across the UK. Standing for 'Polycystic Ovary Syndrome', it's a really common condition – like endometriosis – that can disrupt your periods and hinder your fertility – but you might not know that you have it.
What is PCOS?
Caused by small fluid-filled sacs in your ovaries, surrounding the eggs, PCOS can cause excess androgen (those are the male hormones, which lead to extra body hair, etc), affect the regularity of your periods and is one of the UK's leading causes of infertility.
What causes PCOS?
'Unfortunately, there is still some confusion throughout the medical world as to what causes PCOS. It is widely thought to have a genetic link however, this is yet to be scientifically proven,' says Dr Israel Ortega, from world leading PCOS clinic IVI Fertility, adding that many women who suffer from PCOS have a hormone imbalance – including high levels of testosterone, Prolactin and LH.
How can you tell if you have PCOS?
There's no hard and fast rule, unfortunately, but there are certain symptoms which can indicate PCOS – although they vary from woman to woman. (So, if you only have one of them, then it's probably still worth getting checked out by your GP.)
Problems getting pregnant, due to a lack of ovulation
Weight gain
Irregular periods
Hair loss (on your head)
Excessive hair growth on other parts of your body (face, arms and legs)
Sometimes PCOS can be associated with other conditions, such as type two diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease, depression and sleep apnoea – although all of those issues can be managed following diagnosis.
What should you do if you're worried you have PCOS
Testing for PCOS isn't a big deal – you might have to have an ultrasound scan and/or a blood test, but your doctor will also be able to see whether you're suffering from another condition instead. And if you do have it, don't worry – you'll be referred to a specialist who'll be able to take you through the next steps.
How do you treat PCOS?
As it stands, there's no cure for PCOS. But that doesn't mean you can't manage your symptoms.
For some women – especially those who suffer from irregular periods, taking the contraceptive pill can help to regulate your cycle. For others, a healthier lifestyle can help to limit the impact of PCOS on their body – studies have actually shown that for women with particularly high BMIs can experience reduced symptoms if they manage to reduce their body weight by five per cent.
'If you are trying to get pregnant and suffer from PCOS then it is recommended that you visit a fertility specialist who will be able to check if there are any further problems, such as blocked fallopian tubes, before advising on the best cause of medication,' says Dr Israel Ortega. 'Clomifene is often prescribed in the first instance and is used to encourage the regular release of an egg from the ovaries. If this medication is found to be unsuccessful, then there are a number of other options which can be considered too.'

View from India: Usher in a cashless world of opportunities
The catchword today is cashless. As the Government of India announced its move towards demonetisation in 2016, its impact is being felt across verticals and various segments of the economic pyramid. India's march towards a cashless economy will open out new opportunities in the digital world in 2017.
Industries across verticals will innovate and tweak processes to integrate newer digital transactions. Banks and financial service providers have begun to lay the ground for what will be a complete digital transaction ecosystem.
Demonetisation has shifted the focus from cash transactions to electronics processes. Payments will happen through plastic cards like the debit and credit cards and e-wallets much more than before. People will increasingly use online apps, wherein the mode of payment happens though the mobile and debit/credit cards.
However, there are certain challenges that need to be met. "Infrastructure – the point-of-sale (POS) terminal penetration in India – is still very low in the country. Internet availability is also poor; thus a cashless economy or the growth of digital payment will probably be slow," says Akhilesh Tuteja, global leader of cyber security services at KPMG. "Consumer behaviour and financial literacy are other aspects that need to be considered. That's because Indians conventionally prefer to transact through cash. Basic literacy about setting up a bank account on the mobile, linking the account with the mobile, and setting up a PIN needs to be addressed."
The demands and needs of consumers will push the boundaries of technology. The technology sector in the coming years will see greater advancements around telecom, IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things), AI (artificial intelligence), robotics and security.
By 2020, the growing base of mobile and internet users in India will seek exceptional consumer experience and telcos will require efficient operations to fulfil this significant demand. The growth in IIoT devices will require vendors to have better and high bandwidth connectivity. All these factors will require telcos to bring ultra-fast 5G networks for better connectivity. Other advancement will be around Software Defined Network (SDN) and Network Functions Visualisations (NFV) deployments for agile network architecture. The software-defined architecture can help service providers to offer customised services at lower costs.
High-speed broadband networks and investment in digital infrastructure are essential to create a fully fledged digital economy – an economy that encompasses all sections of society. This can happen through private-public partnerships between the government and industry.
Nevertheless certain tech trends are expected to redefine and create newer opportunities in many verticals. Here's a checklist of some forthcoming outcomes from many technologies.
Smart homes, smart cities and other wireless gadgets will be prevalent in the 2020 technology market. The Internet of Things (IoT) devices are expected to gradually experiment with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to deliver advanced behaviour and collaborate naturally with people, devices and environment.
AI will evolve beyond traditional rule-based algorithms towards learning, adapting and predicting models. AI and other cognitive applications will be integrated in all the existing software and machines to make them more 'intelligent.' AI could also be included in physical devices to have more autonomous vehicles, robots and smart electronics.
Amidst all connectivity and intelligent devices, adaptive security architecture is the one that will encompass all technologies interacting with devices, processes and humans. By 2020, the advancement in the technology sector is expected to uncover new vulnerable areas, which will require complex security measures to track, monitor and defend systems. The new adaptive and complex security framework can be a part of all digital technology platforms including IoT and AI to secure the entire 'smart and intelligent' ecosystem.

Crowns and Bridges
- Your anesthesia will wear off in approximately 1 to 3 hours after the procedure. It is very important not to chew on the side that is numb (to prevent biting tongue, lip, etc.) until the anesthesia wears off.
- Your tooth (or teeth) may be sensitive to hot, cold or pressure from this procedure.
- Your gum tissue may also be tender. This is COMPLETELY normal.
- The more invasive the procedure, the more sensitivity you may experience. The possible symptoms of hot, cold or pressure will cease within a few days to a couple of weeks.
- In a very few instances, this sensitivity could last longer than a couple of weeks. As long as your teeth or gums are continuing to feel better (not staying the same, or getting worse) everything is fine. There is no need for concern. You have been given a prescription of ibuprofen (Motrin). This IS NOT for pain. Ibuprofen is to reduce the inflammation in the area worked on, and will further eliminate hot, cold and pressure sensitivity if taken as directed.
- If you are allergic to or cannot tolerate ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil, etc) please advise us.
- If discomfort continues for more than a couple of weeks, please call the office at 972-378-9747
Temporary Crown/Bridge
It is extremely important for the temporary crown/bridge to remain on the tooth until your permanent crown has been placed. If your temporary crown becomes loose, or comes off at any time, please call the office immediately. Your tooth can shift within a few hours if your temporary is left off which can inhibit the placement of your permanent crown. You may also experience sensitivity if your temporary comes off.
Please note: With your temporary, avoid hard and chewy foods. (Such as ice, hard candy, gum, taffy) These have been known to pull temporaries off of the prepared tooth.
If your temporary comes off or becomes loose, please gently replace your temporary back onto your prepared tooth and call the office. (You cannot put your temporary back on incorrectly, it will only fit one way).
It is important to floss your temporary as usual, however, instead of pulling the floss back up through the teeth, release one end of the floss and pull it through the side of the tooth.
Once the anesthesia has worn off and you feel as though any of the teeth that have been worked on are hitting first, please give the office a call immediately. This imbalance with your bite may cause further discomfort and should be adjusted.

I decided this weekend that I'm going to attempt the couch to 10k, seeing as I've managed the 5k (and it didn't, in fact, kill me as I thought it may 😅).
So today I set off down my usual route, with the intention of turning homeward when my phone beeped to tell me I was halfway. I'm 2 minutes away from halfway when I see my asshole ex-neighbours strolling towards me on a family walk… and in that split second, I felt a myriad of emotions:
anger (they built a bloody garden shed right in front of my kitchen window),
fear (oh god what if they try to speak to me? 🙈),
panic (can I still breathe after 20 minutes running? 😆),
resignation (I'm going to HAVE to run past them cos there's hedges on either side, they've seen me and it won't look 'normal' to dive in a hedge 🙈🙊),
determination (fuck them, I'm going to run past looking like a bloody gazelle).
So I did. Run past them. But I also didn't want to turn around and run past them AGAIN to run home, so I took the scenic route past a few cows, cow pats, and a lot of corn. I actually enjoyed it more than road running! Bonus.
The Asshole Ex-neighbours moved in about 5 years ago, and one half popped round amiably to say hello. I thought she was lovely. She asked about whether we knew anything about garden boundries with the other neighbours, so I gave her a couple of photocopies of our house plans, showing the surrounding house areas and boundaries. Within 2 weeks she had begun building a huge garden shed blocking our kitchen window. 😡 They built it exactly to legal boundary limits, meaning that the view of the back of a shed is all we now see from our window. Like I say: Assholes.
Taking the scenic route home did give me a clear 20 minutes to realise that the building of the Asshole Shed was actually the kickstart of us planning our trip abroad though, and by the time I got home, I realised that I should probably be thanking them. But they're still Assholes.
And…. I managed a 6.3km run! 💪
Get in.
76 days to go! 😎

Use regular servos as geared robot wheels
Servos are amazing. They basically are a motor & a gear box & a control circuit in one. The only problem is that a lot of it is hidden away. I will show you the process of modifying a standard servo in order to enable continuous rotation. This is really simple and nothing you can't figure out on your own with a little fiddling around. I am mainly writing this tutorial simply to encourage you to do it.
You should be able to do this with most cheap servos, however, make sure that they have plastic gears.
1) Open it. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the four long screws.
2) Ply out the electronics. There is a PCB inside the box, which has the motor, a potentiometer as well as all the other electronics attached. Use a flat screwdriver to gently ply the PCB out. This may require some force, as it may or may not be glued in. Just make sure to apply the force evenly so as not to damage the PCB. Also the potentiometer may be attached to one of the gears. If it absolutely does not want to come out, remove the cap and the gears as well, and check if there is anything you can do from the other side to help the process.
3) Calibrate the servo. Next to the motor you should find a potentiometer. This gives the electronics feedback on the position of the gears. Assuming the potentiometer tells the servo that it is set to 180, then the motor will not move if you set it to 180 again. However it will slowly start to rotate if you set it to 178 and it will start rotating very fast if you set it to a very low value such as 12.
(If you wanted to use the servo as a measuring instrument you could attach additional leads to the potentiometer in order to always have information on the servos position. I need a continuous servo, so this is irrelevant for what I am doing.)
In order to calibrate the servo I attach it to an Arduino (red to +5v, black to GND, yellow/white to any PWM enabled pin, I chose 9) and set it to go to 90 like this:
#include <Servo.h> Servo myservo; // create servo object to control a servo void setup() { myservo.attach(9); // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object } void loop() { myservo.write(90); // tell servo to go to 90 }
Unless the potentiometer is already exactly at the 90 position, it will start spinning. If you turn the potentiometer you will find that the motor spins slower the closer you get to the 90 position. The motor will reverse direction if you pass the 90 position. Adjust the potentiometer until the motor stops moving. Finally bend it over, so it's out of the way for re-assembly.
4) Modify the gears for continuous rotation. In case you have not done so yet, ply off the top part of the servo-box.
One of the gears has a little knob:
Carefully cut that away.
5) Re-assemble. One thing you should look out for is that the white gear which attaches to the motor is actually connected to the motor. I had to use some pressure in order to get the gears to connect and it did so with a little 'click'.
Before you put the screws back in pop a servo-horn on it and check whether it actually can rotate continuously. I find that I usually have to go back and fix some detail or remove some little speck of dust or something in order for it to move smoothly.
6) Control it. Assuming you did not move the potentiometer while re-assembling, you can set the motor to stop by calling 90. You can set it to rotate forward by calling anything higher than 90 (the further away from 90 the value is, the faster the motor will move) and backwards by calling values lower than 90.
tadaaa! Finished:
Make Bendy Electronics
Creating your own flex-circuits is surprisingly easy. At this point it is my go-to circuit making method.
Materials you will need:
A Wax Printer or your preferred method of toner transfer.
Safety equipment (eye-protection, nitrite gloves, a lab coat, breathing-protection)
Hydrochloride Acid
Hydrogen Peroxide
Acetone (Nail polish remover also does the trick to some extent.)
1) Create your design.
I use Eagle which is as powerful as it is counter intuitive. I recommend learning it, as I know of nothing better, but if you just want to get your toes wet, you are probably better off using a vector-graphics software. If all else fails you could even use paint.
Some things to keep in mind
Only use black and white. Do not use gray-tones.
It is generally a good idea to avoid odd angles, in order to minimize anti-aliasing problems.
When exporting your image, do so with the highest possible DPI (I generally work with 600dpi.) In order to print it in the appropriate scale, you can use paint. Go to the options and specify the dpi before printing.
If you can, make your signal paths thicker than thinner. This will save you any headaches while etching & soldering.
you can find an earlier write-up of mine here.
All Arduinos are basically overkill for almost everything. It is easier than you think to build your own.

Let's face it: Where pests are concerned, no one's safe. It doesn't matter whether you live in the Bronx or work in Manhattan; bug control is vital, and very often problematic, wherever you spend you time. Few homeowners or business managers completely escape infestations forever. And just as everyone is subject to a pest problem at one time or another, anyone can benefit from the expertise of one of DQ Pest Control's Manhattan exterminator pros. The variety and scope of our services means that whatever the pest issue is - rodents, bats, bedbugs, moths or another creature - we're well equipped and trained to handle the problem expeditiously.
Many of our customers, or potential customers, are unaware that one of the pests we can address is ticks. The tick is an insect that many individuals have become accustomed to battling one-on-one. However, these disease-carrying creatures don't play fair. People and their pets can pick up ticks by the thousands, and those bugs can hitch a ride along with you right into your home or office in Brooklyn, the Bronx or Manhattan. Bug control by DQ Pest Control can block off dangerous ticks from the perimeter around a home or office to keep all residents - big, small, bipedal or four-legged - safe from infestation.
DQ proudly serves the communities of metro New York and Long Island, Suffolk and Nassau counties and communities from Brooklyn to Manhattan. Exterminator teams from DQ Pest Control are trained in all types of pest eradication, and are equipped with the latest weaponry in the fight against infestations. Contact us for more information about the services we provide.

Patient Responsibility
Although Summit gladly files your medical insurance on your behalf, medical insurance is ultimately a contract between the patient and his/her insurance company. It is the patient's responsibility to monitor the processing and payment of claims. After payment is received from the insurance carrier, any outstanding balances after your insurance provider has paid its share become the responsibility of the patient. If your insurance company is not one with which our physicians participate, any balance remaining on the account for sixty days from the date the insurance is filed becomes the patient's responsibility.
Payment Policy
Payment for healthcare services at any Summit Medical Group facility is due at the time the service is rendered in accordance with insurance contracts.
Any copay, deductible, and/or coinsurance should be paid in full during the visit.
What if I can't pay for my visit on the day I receive the service?
Summit values all customers and understands that patients may have unforeseen situations that prohibit full payment at the time of service, As a courtesy to you, Summit offers a payment plan option with the following terms:
|Balance Amount
|$51.00 to $250.99
|5 month maximum
|$251.00 and greater
|12 month maximum
In the event full payment cannot be rendered at the time of service, the terms for monthly payments are below:
- Payments must be made via monthly auto‐draft from a debit or credit card. We are unable to offer "pay as you go" arrangements.
- A $25 minimum monthly auto-draft payment amount is required
- Payments accepted outside of a formal auto‐draft payment plan agreement do not prevent future collection action.
- There are no processing or interest fees for payments.
If these terms cannot be met, we do accept VISA, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express.

Rhythm Games: Bringing People Together Since '98
I feel about Rock Band like I typically feel about DDR, Karaoke Revolution, and any other games that require rhythm:
Except tonight those feelings were completely changed..
Now, despite having played all of the above games and have loved every minute of it, I am still left with the following questions:
1.) How can these games have such simple premises, but be so damn difficult to play?
2.) Why is there always something going on in the background while you play; like people dancing, flowers, other trippy visuals – but you can't dare look at them for fear that it will cause you to miss a beat?
And possibly the most important question:
3.) Why are these addictive games more satisfying than popping bubble wrap?
I may never know the answers to these questions, but one fact has rung resoundingly clear all night tonight.
You see, the people currently at my house are all from different walks of life, with different interests, and definitely different personalities. Because of this, it's almost impossible for us to connect on any sort of personal level. Alas, Christmas. The family is here, the Holiday 'warm n' fuzzies' are lingering in the air..and the pressure to "connect" has never been more nagging on my mind.
Over the last few weeks of this familial congregation, we had spent dinners together, played board games, exchanged gifts, and casually talked back and forth with a bit of forced chuckle at each others lame jokes. However, there were no blips on the radar of our personal connection. Whatsoever.
Tonight was the last night that the whole family was going to be in my house.. before everyone went their separate ways. Exasperated, I decided to dust off the old drums, bass, and guitar of the Rock Band set I had a year back. I lugged the set upstairs and began to jack the bass in, unsure of what instrument I wanted to play.
"What's that?" asked the younger sister of my best friend, she had just come to stay for a short while.
"It's Rock Band. A video game." I responded with a raised eyebrow.
She said she'd like to "try to sing a song". I conceded, and so was our two person team. Then suddenly, the younger brother showed up. He had come from L.A.
"I'm in too, I'll totally school you at drums."
Smiling to myself, I nodded. Then the parents of the two mysteriously appeared and said they had to watch this all go down. My best friend showed up last but not least, his rightful place at the guitar.
So there we were, we all decided together, to play "Tom Sawyer" by Rush. We all messed up bad, together.. and laughed about it, together. The children played and giggled throughout and the parents clapped after we delivered each and every horrible performance.
Apparently the solution to our "connectivity issues" was there all along.
Stop trying, and start gaming.

Eco-friendly Fashion!
This is the second time today that I've tried to upload a picture on here to show you guys some really cool eco-friendly handbags, but it failed again.. So you guys can go check it out yourselves at www.ecoist.com . Anyway, I've spotted these really nice handbags a few times at stores in the states and in Tokyo, but the choices were always limited so I never found the color I really wanted. Since it is pretty pricey, I never got one..but..they're so cool! They're handbags made out of candy wrappers! They also have handbags that are made from pull tabs from cans, like the things we like to flick after we finish our Nestea? And now, they even have bracelets that are made out of candy wrappers too, for a stop-global-warming cause. Everything Ecoist makes are made out of recycled or organic materials. Who says eco-friendly stuff is always dorky and uncool? These Bottega Veneta-style woven bags are wayyyy cool. They also state on their website that their primary aim is "style," and that they want people to buy these bags because they look good, not just because they're eco-friendly. Okay, just wanted to share : ) Recycle people!

Twist and Shout
By Todd Harrison Jan 12, 2004 2:11 pm
N's over S's
If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, yes I would.
If I could, I would let it go
The Monday fun continues its run as traders edge through the afternoon. Overall, the tone is steady, for lack of a better word, although the Minx is chewing through the lunch crunch. It remains very sector specific and a pronounced rotation has evolved intramarket. As it stands, the semiconductor acne and telecom accumulation is masking some weakness in retail and select financials.
It's difficult to ascertain where we are on the "denial-migration-panic" curve but judging from the conversations I'm having, there sure are some anxious folks out there. I'll never offer advice on how to trade (we don't do that) but how we approach the coming juncture is critical. Regardless of your view, patience generally brings price and emotional decisions always have a way of biting you on the can. If the schvitz-o-meter is redlining, playing "in between" (or partial positions) sometimes lessons the pressure but please, Minyans, don't be reckless.
I say that as we gear up for an avalanche of information on the fundamental front. I also bring it up as the sexy sirens sing their song and entice us with their dangerous dazzle. I'm not saying prices can't continue higher--they surely can--but the litmus test is one of time. Think of it this way--if the Minx is up OR down 500 points, will you have the inventory/ammunition to trade accordingly? If not, you're likely leaning too much in one direction.
Watch Friday's highs (S&P 1132ish/NDX 1540ish) as the first area of upside interest as "stops" are likely set above. It "feels" as if the bulls wanna run but a bout of profit taking into the unknown (earnings) shouldn't shock anyone. Intel (INTC:NASD) is reporting Wednesday--not Tuesday--so apologies for the earlier confusion. With limited systems and a freshly baked Fokker, we're scramblin' a bit in the city of critters.
Thanks kindly.

A year ago last week, I posted about it on my old blog and I was just reading the post. I'd like to share it with you.
There were a few rides, face painting, a real fire engine, balloon animals, the local high school marching band, and free food. But there were also booths set up to provide information on autism and products for autistic children. We tried to spend what time we could getting some information, but when you have three kids and a carnival with rides, well . . . you do the math.
At one point, Simon (my son) and Karen (my wife) went off on their own as Simon was getting a little bored. Simon (8) has Autism and while he can get super focused and spend hours and hours on one task, he can also get bored and impatient very easily.
After a while, when they hadn't come back, I left the girls with their grandparents and set out to look for my wife and the Boy.
I found them both crouched down in an open air tent. Simon was in front of Karen, and both had their backs to me. As I approached, Karen turned to me and I saw tears in her eyes. Then I noticed that Simon was petting this little, white dog. Karen noticed me standing there and said: "We have to adopt this dog. Look at your son."
Simon likes dogs. But it takes him a while to warm up to them. excitable dogs can easily scare the boy away, but this dog was calm. It just lay there, sweet as can be while Simon gently petted it.
It turns out that the tent was set up by the Humane Society and they were there to show off some of the dogs they had up for adoption. Simon and Karen were walking by and he wanted to see the dogs. And apparently he walked straight over to this one particular dog, a Lhasa Apso, and sat down with it and just petted and stroked him and talked to him and was just generally sweet and precious.
Karen then asked for the dog's name and she was told that his name is Niles.
It was at this point that Karen, who has always said she never wants another pet in the house, much less a dog, realized that she had fallen in love with Niles just as much as Simon had and decided that we were going to get a dog.
We weren't able to do anything there, however. We had to go to the Humane Society itself.
"Did you ever think when you got up this morning that you'd have a dog by the end of the day?" I asked Simon as we motored along.
"No," he said. Then he thought or a moment. "Wait a minute. Is this a dream, Dad? Am I dreaming right now?"
"Nope, you are not dreaming."
"Whoo-hoo!" He yelled from the back seat. "I'm getting a dog!"
That night, after we were home and Niles had explored the house as much as he could, and after we got the girls into bed, we went into Simon's room to put him to bed.
Niles followed.
Simon stopped off to use the restroom while Niles and I waited in Simon's room. Niles, without any prompting, jumped up onto Simon's bed and curled up for the night.
Simon and Karen then came into the room find Niles snuggled up on Simon's bed.
"Do you think that you're going to be okay sleeping with Niles on the bed tonight?" I asked Simon.
"Oh yeah," he said, and crawled into bed.
We said prayers, said good night, and shut out his light and then went to be ourselves.
Niles stayed on Simon's bed the entire night.
Simon sure does love his new best friend.
Since that day, Niles has really become part of the family.
Niles can sense when anyone in the house is sad or feeling sick. We know this because he will come right to you and snuggle up next to you. He really is just the sweetest dog in the world.
And he still sleeps with Simon every night.
Bringing Niles into our home was one of the best things we've ever done.
Happy Anniversary, Niles.

Library to screen classic film
"Winchester '73" will be shown at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 8, in the lower level of the Waupaca Area Public Library.
Featuring commentary by Dr. Jack Rhodes, the movie is free and open to the public. Free popcorn, soft drinks and theater treats will also be provided.
"Winchester '73" is often credited with revitalizing audience interest in the western genre in the postwar years.
The script focuses on the drama behind a Winchester rifle, as it changes hands across the landscape of the Old West.
Directed by Anthony Mann, in the first of his collaborations with star James Stewart, this 1950 movie also features memorable performances by Shelley Winters, Dan Duryea, and, in an offbeat interpretation of the real-life marshal of Dodge City, Will Geer as Wyatt Earp.
This is the first in the fall 2016 First Thursday Film Series. Due to the Labor Day holiday, the date for this month's screening was moved to the second Thursday.

Morning and Nocturnal Person
and Their Academic Achievement at school
By Nur Masithoh
College of Language and Communication Science
People use their time to sleep and do their activities. Sleep at night and then wake up in the morning as a usual rule in human's activities. But, in a special case they do not sleep at night because of their homework. It depends on what their activities are. Indeed, students have a lot of works to do in the morning till evening. Their sleeping time can be a serious problem when they got a lot of works. However they have to wake up in the morning and do the same activities again and again. In the end of the semester they should make a good achievement for their academic points. So, what time students go to bed, how long they take to sleep in one day will connect with their achievement. Thus, this article will talk about the connections between students' sleeping time and their academic achievement.
There are two kinds of people in general, he/she who like to sleep at night and full of their day they to work, he/she are called morning person. The second is he/she who like to sleep at noon till evening and wake up in the night, he/she are called nocturnal person. Both of them will make some differences at their work or achievement for students.
Morning persons who sleep form nine or ten PM and wake up with full energy in the morning, they do all their work when the sun is hanging in the sky. They are always energetic in the morning till evening, and will lose his/her energy at night. So when do they study? Morning persons do study under the sunshine. They are really excited and focus when morning come till the sun will down on the corner of the sky. Furthermore, morning persons have a good skill at social and speaking, they are really rational and full of idea in the morning till evening. Morning persons are very structural persons, they do his/her works with all the rule in general way such as they sleep at night, that is general rule of sleeping.
On the other hand, there is nocturnal person, who need to sleep at noon or evening, but still sleep at morning at three or fur AM till six or seven Am. nocturnals can not do well anything in the morning. They are too sleepy to focus, and get some problems with their social life because of their energy is so low and without excitement in speaking. They have their taste at art and full of imaginations. Nocturnals are really unique, and have their own way to get something they want. They have their own world at night. They solve their problems or works at night because they have their full energy and get focus only at night. At night they really do a good job, wonderful job, because of their focus is maximum, and this kind of persons are really creative and get a lot of ideas at night. So yes, they do well at school's achievements.
However, both of them, mornings or nocturnals are do well in their own way to achieve their school's works. Of course they has their own goodness and weakness. But after all, people must choose how they decide to live their life.

The Valour of Pushyamitra Shunga
Marxist-Communist historians claim that because Pushyamitra Shunga was a brāhmaṇa, all events that occurred during his period were merely the revolt of brāhmaṇas. These incidents symbolize the enmity that brāhmaṇas had against Ashoka and his heritage. Contrary to their claims, varṇa doesn't occupy a significant place in this. The Shungas weren't in power for a long

Quite a few of the Bernie Sanders supporters out there say that they would never be able to support Hillary Clinton in the general election if she wins the Democratic nomination. This is a problem, because every Democratic voter that stays home because their candidate isn't the nominee is practically giving their vote to the GOP.
Addictinginfo.com reports that 5 percent was the average popular vote spread in the 2008 and 2012 general presidential elections. That means if just 5 percent of the Democratic voter base stays home because their candidate isn't the nominee, it'll be fairly easy for the next president to be a Republican.
While I support Bernie Sanders in the upcoming primaries, I also know that Hillary Clinton winning the nomination is likely. I would jump at the opportunity to vote for Clinton in the general election over any Republican.
Moral of the story? Don't jump ship on the general election just because your candidate wasn't nominated - or who knows, come January 2017, "President Trump" may be a regular phrase in our vocabulary.

By: Mian Waqar ul Islam
In the name of Allah, the most merciful and the most beneficent!
Girls are better than boys!
Because the winners are better than the looser!
Result speaks for itself, what else…
Respected president (name) honorable panel (names) and valued guests, before going to the thick of the things let's see the significance of education in Islam…
The Significance of Education in Islam
Education has been greatly emphasized in Islam. The first verse of the Qur'an to be revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) indicates the importance of education in Islam; the verse started with the word "Iqr'a", it is a command that means 'read' in Arabic, and that implies the concepts of 'learning', 'exploring' and 'seeking enlightenment'. This demonstrates that reading (knowledge) is the way to approach the Creator of all that exists. Verse 96/1-5 states:
"Read! In the Name of your Lord who has created (all that exists). He has created man from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood). Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous. Who has taught (the writing) by the pen. He has taught man that which he knew not. "
The importance and excellence of knowledge has been highlighted both directly and indirectly in over five hundred places in the Holy Qur'an. Indeed one of the essential duties and responsibilities of Prophet-hood was the dissemination of knowledge and wisdom to all. Allah Almighty says:
﴿كَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيكُمْ رَسُولاً مِّنكُمْ يَتْلُواْ عَلَيْكُمْ ءَايَــــٰـــتِنَا وَيُزَكِّيكُمْ وَيُعَلِّمُكُمُ ٱلْكِتَــــٰـــبَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَيُعَلِّمُكُم مَّا لَمْ تَكُونُواْ تَعْلَمُونَ﴾
"Likewise, we have sent you (Our) Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him) from amongst yourselves who recites to you Our Revelations and purifies and sanctifies (your hearts and ill-commanding selves) and teaches you the Book and inculcates in you logic and wisdom and enlightens you (on the mysteries of spiritual gnosis and divine truth) which you did not know."
[Al-Baqara, 2:151.]
﴿هُوَ ٱلَّذِى بَعَثَ فِى ٱلْأُمِّيِّـينَ رَسُولاً مِّنْهُمْ يَتْلُواْ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَــــٰـــتِهِ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ ٱلْكِتَــــٰـــبَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَإِن كَانُواْ مِن قَبْلُ لَفِى ضَلَــــٰـــلٍ مُّبِينٍ﴾
"He is the One Who sent a (Glorious) Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him) amongst the illiterate people from amongst themselves who recites to them His Revelations and cleanses and purifies them (outwardly and inwardly) and teaches them the Book and wisdom. Indeed, they were in open error before (his most welcome arrival)."
[Al-Jumu'a, 62:2.]
The Holy Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him) said:
﴿ طَلَبُ الْعِلْمِ فَرِيضَةٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ ﴾
"Acquisition of knowledge is binding on all Muslims" [Narrated by Ibn Maja in al-Sunan, 1:81 §224.]
He (blessings and peace be upon him) said at another place:
﴿ مَنْ سَلَكَ طَرِيقًا يَلْتَمِسُ فِيهِ عِلْمًا سَهَّلَ اللهُ لَهُ بِهِ طَرِيقًا إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ ﴾
"Allah Almighty makes the path to paradise easier for him who walks on it for getting knowledge." [Narrated by Muslim in al-Sahih, 4:2074 §2699.]
The importance of education has been emphasized repeatedly in the Qur'an, which is the ultimate source of guidance for Muslims. Verse 20/114 says, "My Lord! Increase me in knowledge." This verse indicates that whatever we know is limited as we need to keep asking Allah to increase our knowledge. Therefore, a Muslim should constantly be seeking more knowledge (ilm). The Qur'an treats knowledge as a means to reaching iman (faith) for all Muslims, males and females, to becoming true believers.
Does Islam Give Priority to Males or Females in the Search for Education?
From the foregoing, we can see clearly that education and knowledge in Islam apart from being obligatory and therefore a form of worship is full of benefits, firstly to the learner, then to the teacher and even to the society.
Moreover, knowledge can be classified as good for its own sake and not for its connection with other qualities. It is then appropriate to pause and ask a pertinent question- when Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala)) and his noble prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings of Allah be on him) proclaimed knowledge and its benefits were they referring to males or females.
The first and most crucial obligation on all Muslims, male or female is to acquire knowledge. This is so because all actions of a Muslim must be based on correct knowledge. The Muslim cannot worship Allah in ignorance and his action should not be based on blind imitation for this is not the mark of a thinking, sensible human being.
It is impossible to be a Muslim, to live according to the requirements of Islam, and at the same time live in a state of ignorance.
The whole Qur'an refers to both male and female in its call:
"O you who believe; those that believe in Allah and do good deeds. Likewise, both Aljannah and Jahannam are either promised to men and women who believe or who disbelieve. There is no distinction between male and female in acts of worship or reward. Allah says; "So their Lord accepted of them, never will I allow the work of any of you to be lost, be you male or female, you are one of another."
( Qur'an 3;195)
Women just like men are enjoined to compulsorily seek for knowledge for the prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.) said;
"Seeking of knowledge is incumbent upon every Muslim" (both male and female).
A large number of Muslim scholars were women, such as Aishah wife of the prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), Amrah Bint Abdur Rahman, Mu'aadhah Al – Adawiyyah and the wives of the prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
Other women worthy of mention are Jawzdaniyyah, who had the best knowledge of chain of transmitters of traditions of the Prophet and who had the best memory in her time; Ajeebah Al – Baqdariyyah, who was the only one in the world in her time to narrate certain ahaadith.
Nearer home, Asma'u Bint Fodio daughter of renowned scholar and reformer Shaykh Uthman Bn Fodio was as great a scholar as any of the contemporary students of her great father as evidenced by the many books, poems, pamphlets and treatise on a wide range of subjects which she left behind.
The Mufti of the Ummah, Shaykh 'Abdul-'Azeez Ibn 'Abdullaah Ibn Baaz (d.1420H, rahimahullaah) when asked 'What do you say about the woman's role in calling to Allah?' He answered that;
''She is like the man, she should call to Allah, and order the good and forbid the evil, since the texts from the Noble Qur'an and the Pure Sunnah prove this, and the words of the scholars are clear about this. So she should call to Allah, order the good and forbid evil in accordance with the manners prescribed in the sharee'ah (revelation) that are required from the man. She should also take care of another matter, which is that she should be an example of chastity and cover herself with hijab in front of males who are not mahram for her and she should avoid mixing with men."
It is equally important to educate the girl child for the following reasons;
Education is one of the fundamental rights of individuals as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights article 26 stipulates. It is very important to educate the girl child especially so she can play the role that Allah has ordained for her and be a true and faithful believer thereby attaining paradise.
Education for girls leads to less domestic conflict in the family. Education leads to common understanding and better communication.
The Prophet (May the peace and blessings of Allah be on him) has said: whoever is not concerned with the situation of Muslims is not one of them. Concern is born only out of education, knowledge of the needs of the Ummah and its environment.
Muslims today, live in a complex and difficult world dominated by systems of knowledge, technologies and economics, which have marginalized them. The uneducated girl will not be able to impact on the development of the Ummah with the men unless she attains the right education.
Moreover, the prophet (Peace and blessings of Allah be on him) said: "Whoever dies while seeking knowledge in order to revive Islam, will be in paradise and nothing would be between him and the prophets except one degree."
Women owe the Ummah a duty to know the contemporary world intimately, to be able to analyze it using principles and concepts from the Qur'an and Sunnah, and to offer alternatives for the future direction of man.
The prophet (May the peace and blessings of Allah be on him) has said; the best of mankind is he who is beneficial to others. Good education leads to strategies in bringing about a better, more just, caring and a safer world.
Khilafah and Amanah mentioned in the Qur'an as expected of mankind can only be realised with education. Concepts are supposed to shape our attitude to economic development, politics, environment and ecological balance e.g. the saying of the Prophet (May the peace and blessings of Allah be on him) "Purity is half of faith" and "cleanliness is part of faith" – how does this affect health and sanitation requirements of people living in crowded cities and slums?
Education for the girl promotes a reduction in poverty. She will be less dependent on either her family or husband. This will also give them a more productive life.
Education gives her the power to attend to other women's problems as a doctor, nurse, teacher etc. The woman has a better understanding of her fellow women's problems.
Why girls are better than boys!
Mainly because girls are delivering far better results!
We know that both gender kids are equally blessed but there are factors which may affect their learning abilities. However, if we see educational success for both in terms of attaining good marks and grads, today girls are performing far better than boys.
Why are girls succeeding at school?
There are many varied reasons and theories to explain why girls do better in the educational system when compared to boys. Girls tend to outperform boys in school when results are analyzed. The reasons why girls do better than boys include:
1. Changing Attitudes: Girls attitudes towards education have changed dramatically over the last 15 to 20 years and corresponds to the involvement women have in society. Today girls are more confident, more assertive, more ambitious and more committed to gender equality.
2. Changes in the Adult World: There are an increasing number of girls in the work place; therefore girls are more likely to work harder to achieve their ambitions.
3. Changes in Schools: Over the past 20 years there has been a growing proportion of females choosing to study in further or higher education than in years previous.
4. Changings in Society: Parents, families and societies are now recognizing and preferring to teach their girls.
5. Changing Trends: Around twenty years ago it was the norm to expect young intelligent females to leave education at the earliest opportunity (age 16) to prepare them for marriage and motherhood.
6. Changing Aspiration: Recently, improvements of choices for many female students have increased considerably. The aspirations of many young females now concentrate on education and employment.
7. Changing Opportunities: There are now more appealing routes available into employment for females, these include areas such as, the service industries, media jobs and information technology. These new opportunities provide a 'workplace paradise' for the young women of today who are no longer discriminated against as much as before.
8. Changing Work-environment: There are widening opportunities in a new improved genderless, barrier-free world of employment and no preference for a fully-male employment system.
9. Changing Male-Dominancy: Male Dominant world is dying out. The influence of 'Girl Power' drives women on in their quest for equality and identity in education and profession. Iconic female figures are being considered as a strong, independent, role model in today's society.
10. Changing Curriculum: Governments have introduced girl-specific courses into schools to encourage their interest in subjects that were seen as being traditionally for boys. Research clearly indicates that girls are better at coursework at a general level when compared to boys.
Girls mature faster than boys!
Girls on average mature faster than boys, the male advantages in intelligence do not appear until after puberty, when boys and girls finish maturing and growing. Until then, girls are on average always more mature than boys at any given chronological age.
So comparing boys and girls, say, at age 10, is like comparing boys at age 10 and girls at age 12. Naturally, older and more mature children have greater cognitive capacity than younger and less mature children.
So if you compare boys and girls at the same chronological age, girls on average are more intelligent than boys. In other words, the sex difference in the rate of maturity masks and drowns the sex difference in general intelligence.
Girls have few in-built advantages!
Boys have few in-built disadvantages!

Atelea Vea has admitted that Super League has been a real learning curve for him as he settles into his new club Leigh Centurions.
The 30-year- old spent a season with London Broncos in 2014 following four years in Australia's National Rugby League with Cronulla Sharks, Melbourne Storm and St George Illawarra Dragons respectively.
London were relegated to the Championship that season and Vea then moved to St Helens. The back-rower spent two years at the Totally Wicked Stadium and made 39 appearances for Keiron Cunningham's side, scoring 10 tries.
Vea switched to the newly promoted Leigh Centurions in the off-season and has revealed that he can bring a lot of experience from what he has gained from being in Super League.
"I had a rough start at London [Broncos] but I wouldn't have it any other way," said Vea.
"I liked my time there and enjoyed my introduction into Super League. We certainly did it tough, we only won one and that was against Leeds [Rhinos] and then I kicked on from there with St Helens.
"I had a good time at Saints, it was a great experience for me and they are a first-class club. I am looking to bring a lot of that into Leigh which will hopefully help this season.
"It has been good at the Centurions so far. Training has been tough, no-one enjoys pre-season! We are all having a good dig at the moment and they are a good bunch of lads so I am really enjoying it so far."
It could be said that former London Broncos head coach Joey Grima saved Vea's career, with the Tonga international working as a labourer in Australia after being released by the Illawarra Dragons.
Vea had even lined up a job in the Queensland mines before revitalising his professional career at London and Super League has since seen his career flourish.
The 6ft and 17st forward is playing the best rugby of his career at the minute and wants it to continue at the Leigh Sports Village in 2017.
He added: "I can't wait to eventually play some games."
"We have got a good side and we have got a couple of events coming up so we can let our hair down away from the field and I think you really get to know each other when you are off the field.
