Need to hit the gym but can't find the time? Rebecca Humphreys, school teacher and body builder in training, has got no excuses.
Full Name: Rebecca Humphreys.
Time in the Manning: Moved to the area 7 years ago.
What do you enjoy most about living in the area: It would definitely be the benefit of the relaxing environment of the bush, rainforest areas, the serenity of the river and some wonderful beaches too. What more could a person ask for!
Profession: Visual arts and photography teacher. I am also presently two thirds of the way through my Ultimate Fitness Trainer Certification.
Hobbies and Interests: When I have time I enjoy painting and drawing. Anything fitness related, like a 2 week Muay Thai training session at Taree Elite Fitness, which was amazing. Finally, I love cooking. When it's off season, there is nothing I enjoy more than to spend a few hours in the kitchen preparing food for family and friends.
Describe your home and work environment: Home is always hectic, as everyone is on the go getting ready for school, work or sporting commitments. Work is busy too and my classroom is a visual feast, as the walls, windows and roof are covered in student artworks for inspiration and motivation for future classes.
What are some of the challenges in the bodybuilding industry: I guess one of the biggest challenges is people's misconceptions about the industry. Women don't get huge; it's just not genetically possible. Having said that, drugs can enhance the look. For me, that is why it is so important that I compete with WNBF, as they carry out a strict written screening and drug test all athletes.
Time and diet are the other biggest challenges. Fitting in 4-5 hours training 6 days a week, preparing food, working full time and having a family makes time very scarce. Every minute of every day is highly scheduled.
Which brings me to the most difficult aspect and probably the one thing that breaks many people who hope to compete – food, or lack of it.
After 4 years of comps, I found a daily intake of around 1,000 calories of combinations of egg whites, chicken, oats with flaxseed oil, protein shakes and greens works for me.
How do you spend your usual day in lead up to competitions: One hour of cardio in the morning, along with an hour of posing / routine practice. Eating every 2-3 hours is a necessity. Afternoons involve about 1-1 ½ hours weight training and another 45 minutes of cardio and stretching.
In my divisions of Miss Fitbody and USA Figure, the whole package is important … from hair, manicures, make up, muscle structure and symmetry, along with presence on stage.
A visit to the hairdressers and beauticians is a must, as 4 coats of spray tan are necessary, along with a few coats I apply myself before the big day.
On the day a 5am jog / walk, natural diuretics, sip water only – stopped drinking day before at 4pm – layers of vegemite like Dream Tan are the final addition, along with a light spray of oil and even deep heat to help with vascularity on stage – the things we do. Bikini and heels on, tanned up, competitors pump up with some weights for say 5-10 mins, eat a few lollies, and on stage we go.
We are judged on symmetry compulsory poses – double bicep etc. and a choreographed routine to music is the final section. It can be close to 10pm before final judging – especially at the National Titles – before the day is over.
Do you feel you live a double life: I don't know about a double life, but definitely a full and rewarding one.
Life Motto: In anything and everything in life, always be the best you can be!
Thank you Rebecca.

Kennedy Space Center.
National Ad & Digital Content
For the launch of their Astronaut Training Experience, Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex commissioned us to produce a collection of visual content to be used for a wide array of marketing collateral.
The ATX is an interactive group experience offered as an add-on enhancement to a daily park pass. Visitors have the opportunity to train like future generations of astronauts and test their skills at surviving in the Martian habitat.
Creative Direction.
Gen Z is on track to become the first generation with the opportunity to launch a human mission to Mars. Using that as a point of reference, we strategized our approach to target that demographic in a way to further cultivate excitement for space exploration and technology.
We achieved this by providing a collection of targeted campaign assets that gave KSCVC's creative team the flexibility to produce ongoing content on both a local and national level through traditional and digital mediums.
All of the content was produced and packaged prior to the opening of the Astronaut Training Experience, ultimately allowing KSCVC to leverage all assets for launch hype and PR purposes.
We sourced 70+ talent over the course of 3 production days, yielding over three minutes of useable b-roll and 90+ still photos.
From a scheduling perspective, this project presented a unique challenge in regard to wardrobe and production scheduling. While team-building and school groups receive branded t-shirts, the general public do not, so we had to create specific image sets for each group.

Dear sleep,
Will you ever forgive me?
It's been four months since you left me. My heart aches for your return. My body yearns to feel your gentle caress once again.
It's true, you don't know what you've got till it's gone. Back then, you were around all time, you were so available to me and I took you for granted. What a fool I was.
All those nights I spent out at dinners, parties and gigs, while you waited patiently at home. I always had something better to do, someone more interesting to hang out with, safe in the comfort that you'd still be there for me when I stumbled through the door.
All those mornings when you wanted me to stay beside you, but I insisted on going to the gym or getting an early start at work. If I had my time again, I'd cuddle up to you all day and I'd tell you how much you mean to me, how much I love you. I'd never let you go.
I think about you all the time. Sometimes I fantasise about you in the most unlikely places, like when I'm in the supermarket or vacuuming the floor. I dream that we go away together, just you and me, and we spend days and days wrapped in each other's arms. Thoughts of you never completely leave my mind.
I long for the day when we may meet again. Who knows? Maybe you could come around one night? One thing may lead to another and you might even stay with me until morning?
Wherever you are, whoever you're with, I hope you're doing well. In the meantime, I'll remember the happier times – afternoons on the beach, movie nights on the couch – and console myself with the memories of my tender, generous and lost friend.
I guess what I'm really trying to say is, sleep, I miss you. Will you forgive me? Will you ever come back?
With all my love,

Re: Did I do the right thing?
It was self-defence and you did the right thing, you defended yourself and that's all you could do. I have someone who is very close to me go through almost the same thing. I am proude of you and what you did. Stay strong and you will get through this. It just shows how strong you are and how weak he was.

Re: Did I do the right thing?
I am assuming that your parents know, I would suggest talking to a councilor at school or perhaps a councilor at school can recomend a therapist. You do not need to be alone in this.
I beleive that you did the right thing and I commend you for doing so.

Re: Did I do the right thing?
Hun think about this. If you didnt act the way you did, you could have put yourself into more danger, and who knows what he could have done. You did the right thing and you protected yourself, in no way should you regret this or even think twice. Ok the shit seems to have hit the fan, but if you didnt think and react the way you did, he could have dont allotta damage sweetie.
If you dont feel ready to talk to a counsellour or someone about this, thats completley understandable hun. You just need to build up your confidence and get ready to, dont jump steps. Im sure that this has had a great impact on you, but you can get through this. Maybe you are still in shock and you need time to accept and deal with what has happend, but in every respect you did a good job of protecting yourself hun.
Im here if you need anything hun. Dont be a stranger

Re: Did I do the right thing?
To be honest and not throw around empty compliments about how you are brave or how you did the right thing, the whole situation was pretty messed up from the get go with you meeting someone for the FIRST time at YOUR house. So, I wouldn't say either of you were right but defending yourself was the correct response. Don't belittle yourself so much that you think it's OK for someone to take advantage of you. And as for shooting someone, let that uncomfortable feeling thats left behind be a warning for the future so that you don't have to be put in a similar situation again. And you should definitely get your feelings out, but not randomly to the whole world. It's much more effective when you are comfortable with someone really close to you and you let your whole heart out at once about all the crap in your life and the good stuff too.

Re: Did I do the right thing?
He was trying to hurt you. It's not your fault, you did what you did so he wouldn't touch you. It was self defense. It's good you want to let your emotions out. And are seeing a therapist. Breathe, you're safe, and if he taunts you again block him, unfriend him, he comes to see you get a restraining order so whenever he comes near you he will get arrested. It's hard to talk about what happened? Well it's understandable. I'm here for you talk to me if you want anytime. <3

Re: Did I do the right thing?
Everyone has given you such excellent, positive advice and I agree whole-heartily with them. You could have let him do things to you, that would have haunted you for the rest of your life. I was abused when I was a child and I still feel it, like a black cloud hanging over me most of the time - especially when sex comes up, and I feel like such a rubbish girlfriend whenever my boyfriend has to deal with them too, though I know I'm not. It's just because of what's happened to me.
You showed incredible bravery, and you never killed him. You wounded him, and you showed him what you're made of. He won't be touching you, or hopefully anyone else, from now on.
Please don't feel bad. Your therapist is right, you stood up for yourself and that is a very hard thing to do, especially in a situation like this - be proud and embrace it as part of who you are. It's so much better than having to deal with the aftermath of having been raped or abused.
~ there is love in your body, but you can't hold it in
it pours from your eyes and it spills from your skin
the tenderest touch leaves the darkest of marks
and the kindest of kisses break the hardest of hearts.
there is love in your body but you cant get it out
it gets stuck in your head, won't come out of your mouth
sticks to your tongue and it shows on your face
that the sweetest of words have the bitterest taste.

Re: Did I do the right thing?
You shouldn't feel guilty about shooting him. He tried to demoralize you and take advantage of the situation. Kudos to you for standing up for yourself. As for your peers harassment, try to block it out as much as you can... You did what you had to do on your behalf. He had no right to behave the way he did.
Yes, there are alternatives to defending yourself other than shooting him. However, that is in the past and there is nothing you can do to change it. Don't worry about it. And don't let people get to you and allow them to walk over you, it will only create more problems down the road.
Always up for a good conversation

Re: Did I do the right thing?
You know, he could have raped and/or abused you. And since he'd do it to you, he'd probably do it to someone else, too. You shooting him may make him think twice next time.
And well, understand me right when I say it was good that you shot him, though it's also good that you're a bad shooter so that he didn't die.
Believe me, you'll probably be happier with just hurting and stopping him than if you would've killed someone or been raped/abused!
If the people around you are annoying or such by bringing it up all the time (sounded like that, at least) then ask them not to talk about it. If they have a heart they'll probably understand why. (:
I'm here if you'd need to talk!
if you add me on msn or skype, then send me a vm or pm otherwise there's a risk that I won't accept you.
And please, don't even bother to think about adding me if you're just some horny guy -.-

Re: Did I do the right thing?
It was obviously self-defence.
It's a good thing that he's still alive, though.
A friend of mine was in a similar situation once, and that didn't end so well for his attacker, who was one of his close relatives.
But as an answer, you did the right thing.
You defended yourself and you had all right to.
Don't feel bad about it. He shouldn't have made a move like that in the first place.
Most sincerely,

ON AIR - The Hit Mix
with Steve Haze
He's barely recognisable, no? The rest of the boys in One Direction should start considering this for their everyday lives, it would make things a lot easier.
Teasing their new single Best Song Ever, the boys have revealed that they're all undergoing the rubber face treatment for the video, and will reveal their individual new looks on Twitter throughout the week before the tracks eventual release on July 22nd. It's all part of the build up to their third album and documentary release This Is Us. We don't expect the tune to actually be the best song ever, but we've a feeling it will make it's way into our head and nest there for the rest of the summer.And then of course we have the eventual release of This Is Us, which promises all sorts of behind the scenes moments with Niall saying 'It's going to be access all areas. They've even been filming us in the toilet.' Thank God smellovision hasn't been invented yet.

This will provide them the power to search simultaneously in multiple areas without 24/7 monitoring. For example, if the administrator of a factory needs to monitor an intruder he can easily do it by just cropping the person from an image and searching it in all the cameras. In this way, he can get the locations of all the places the person visited and is last seen. The same system can be used in the shopping mall for tracking any suspicious person across dates.
The example shown below is from test cameras installed in a various lift in a society. It captures images if detected motion, which in this case is roughly about 1-2 seconds per image. That will around 80K images in a day.
1. Image History
Now begins the fun part, Using this system now I will search for this man which I definitely feel is suspicious..hmm maybe i am wrong, but it is a society we are talking about, no risk right. Alright, so 24 hrs of history the day 16 June. First selecting the region of interest from the image of the man, selecting the range of dates, the ROI can be tagged for conducting future searches (I do not need to right now). All set.. just need to click the search button. (Bingo)
And there it is…. just in few glimpses of time, I could know places this person has visited …..reviewing these pictures… I could get the floors he went, the time he went, the time he came back, his current location and the people he meets…Analysing the current searches.. … this man….. I think….hmm….. yeah he is not a threat.
3. Search Results
That was fun Now Lets dive in… Technically this system is a type of content-based image retrieval system which uses K-nearest neighbor (k-NN) algorithm to determine the images with most similar features. Features are just the textures of an image mapped to a histogram with specified no of bins. The template i.e. the cropped image textures are extracted and plotted in a histogram. This histogram is then compared with another feature histogram of images present in the database. The searching is a process of calculating distances(differences) between the histogram. Once the calculation is complete the images are then ranked in increasing order of the distances with the template and finally displayed on the screen.
This system utilizes the power of artificial intelligence and cloud for smart surveillance through your cameras in the least possible time and resources. Searching in 80K images of a day – manually is a crazy idea but letting bingo do it is a smart one.

I was going to blog about the first and only time I ever went to a strip club (I didn't know where I was being taken to), but Ramadan starts tomorrow and that would be blashpehmy. So I'm going to blog about how boring my life is.
My life is so dull at the moment and all my usual means of escape have become so redundant. The clubs and parties have become so colorless, I've read so many books that my brain is begging for a break, television has become a parade of losers and flaming queens, and hanging out with friends is so cliche. Even Howard Uni's campus has become dry.
With the exception of the occasional crack head and my near panic attacks that come about when a customer gives me money with a hand laden with open sores…nothing exciting is going on in my life. And oh yea, my countdown to graduation (May 10) is also keeping me occupied.
HELP!!! I need to escape from this monotonous life. What do you guys do for fun?
September 13, 2007 7:03 AM
Ehhhhhh, let me see…..sometimes I go for a walk (boring), theatre (only if you like it otherwise that can be boring as well), gym, swimming(that can be fun), window shopping, cycling, what else? am I this boring? there has to be something else I do…….books are out of the question? ehhhh, I'll be back if I remember more.
September 14, 2007 1:02 PM
Hehe, trust me you dont wanna know what i do when i'm bored 😉
September 17, 2007 12:55 PM
Well, maybe it's my age, but I don't have time for boredom. However, when I really am just being lazy, I pick up some old comics or play some computer games.
September 21, 2007 9:47 AM
Just reading your quotable quotes…
September 21, 2007 10:16 AM
I'm usually not bored…cos I do most of what u've done and STILL are bored.Reading, playing music, etc etc. The only secret is keep busy, and usually with things that aren't part of a routine. Take a walk to some unknown territory…safely get lost! :)Have a good weekend.

East is the Beast in the 2010 WNBA
Credit: Original Artwork Courtesy istock Photo.com©
By Clay Kallam
The East is the beast this year, no doubt, as only league-leading Seattle seems capable of giving even the bottom-dwelling Liberty much of a battle.
That strength means that two pretty good teams are going to miss the playoffs. It also means that playoff dreams can be made or dashed in a matter of a game or two. That makes for an exciting final month to the regular season. Here's a look at how all six stack up as of July 23.
1. Indiana (14-7, 9-5 in conference): For a team that most thought would win the East, the first half of the season was something of a disappointment. But the Fever have propelled themselves from fourth place to first on the strength of a three-game winning streak since the All-Star break.
Tamika Catchings may be having her finest season (47.3 percent shooting from the field, 38.2 percent from three, 2.8 steals per game, etc.). Katie Douglas has been doing her part as well, chipping in 14.4 points per game on 45.5 percent from the field and 42.7 percent from long range.
But the post combo of Ebony Hoffman and Tammy Sutton-Brown have been a weak spot, shooting just 40 percent, and the Fever need them to perform well to open things up for Catchings and Douglas. And the point guard combination of Tully Bevilaqua and Briann January is shooting just 35.4 percent, which offsets the superb Fever defense. The rebounding could be better too, There were high hopes that the recent arrival Shavonte Zellous from Tulsa might provide some of the spark Indiana had been lacking, but she has yet to find her groove in the Fever's rotation. Still, Catchings and Katie Douglas have been playing well enough to put Indiana in first place.
Of course, four upcoming games against weak teams from the West could help just as much – Indiana already has Seattle off the schedule—and Indiana doesn't play any of the Eastern powers more than twice, so the ingredients are in place for a hot streak to the finish line..
2. Washington (13-7, 8-5 in conference): When Monique Currie is playing really well, the Mystics are a really good team. And even though she's cooled off a bit, she's still scoring 13.7 points per game on 42.5 percent field-goal shooting (43.1 percent from beyond the arc), and getting nearly five rebounds and 1.6 steals a game. That big jump in production has made a huge difference for the Mystics, who have won seven of their last 10 games and are just a half-game off the pace.
A big reason is Crystal Langhorne (17.2 points per game, 10.0 rebounds per game, 58.7 percent shooting), who has become one of the top power forwards in the league. Langhorne's production means that the center tandem of Nakia Sanford and Chasity Melvin (a combined 11.6 points and 8.3 rebounds per game) is acceptable.
Lindsey Harding has been acceptable at the point as well, but not much more than that – she's shooting well off penetration, and gets 1.8 spg, but she turns the ball over too much and is not a three-point threat. Katie Smith? Since an amazing game in which she produced no points, no rebounds, and no assists in 29 minutes, she's gone on a mini-tear to get her scoring average up to 9.4 points per game and her shooting percentage up to 37.0 percent (36.8 percent from three). Those are sad numbers for a player who was once one of the league's finest sharpshooters. Still, if maintains her recent level of production, the Washington backcourt is more than fine, but if her aging legs and back betray her, there's a weakness opponents can attack.
Depth is also an issue, as Matee Ajavon and Marissa Coleman are barely adequate and Jacinta Monroe and Ashley Houts are overmatched rookies.
But the Mystics have made it work so far with this combination, and if Smith and Currie both play well down the stretch, the Mystics are legit contenders for the Eastern Conference title.
3. Atlanta Dream (14-9, 6-7 in conference): See how the mighty have fallen! Atlanta ruled the roost in the East in the early going, but their recent four-game losing streak has been a nightmare for the Dream, dropping them into third. Still, that early spurt has left them only one game out of first, and still very much part of the playoff conversation. The Dream don't shoot free throws very well, and they don't shoot threes very well. Otherwise, there's not much to carp about with this group, who have been proving the Marynell Meadors' detractors wrong at every turn.
Though Angel McCoughtry (21.3 points per game, 1.9 steals per game) understandably gets most of the attention, the key to Atlanta's success has been the paint rotation of Sancho Lyttle (13.7 points per game, 10.2 rebounds per game) and Erika de Souza (12.7 points per game, 8.7 rebounds per game) with their back-ups, Alison Bales (4.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in just 15.5 minutes per game) and the rapidly improving Yelena Leuchanka (4.3 points, 2.9 rebounds in 11.3 minutes). Several of the Dream's recent losses occurred as Lyttle appeared to be still recovering from the effects of a concussion suffered just before the break. The Dream out-rebounds their opponents by nearly six a game, and they also shoot 44.0 percent from the field – and of the four post players, Bales' shooting percentage (42.2 percent) is the only one below 47 percent.
That inside power opens up the wings for McCoughtry and Iziane Castro Marques (16.6 points per game, 42.8 percent shooting), who though still erratic has grown more consistent than years past. Shalee Lehning and Kelly Miller are an adequate tag team at the point, but Lehning's 35.3 percent free-throw percentage means she can't really be on the floor at the end of close games.
Atlanta does have two games left against Indiana, two against Washington and one against Connecticut, plus two each with Chicago and New York, and one against the Seattle juggernaut, so their playoff position is hardly secure – but only the most ardent Meadors' hater could be anything less than ecstatic with the Dream's start to the season.
4. Connecticut (12-9, 6-8 in conference): Tina Charles has been all that and a set of Air Jordans, which is the main reason the Sun have a solid hold on a playoff berth. Asjha Jones, coming off an injury, has not played all that well, and Anete Jekabsone-Zogota wasn't much above average before getting hurt.
Connecticut also traded for Renee Montgomery to run the point, and the second-year guard has done a reasonable job. She's definitely a better defender than the departed Lindsay Whalen (though most college point guards are better defenders than Whalen), she has a nice assist to turnover ratio (1.9:1) and is hitting 37.6 percent of her threes.
Otherwise, the Sun lineup isn't overwhelming, but Mike Thibault is mixing and matching Sandrine Gruda, Tan White (her best season, at least so far) and Kara Lawson to keep Connecticut in the playoff mix, just two games out of first place.
But with three games left against Washington and two against New York, the postseason is far from a sure thing. Games against Los Angeles and Minnesota should help; one against Seattle almost certainly will not. It would also help if Jones remembers how to play and Jekabsone-Zogota bounces back healthy, but as long as Charles is a beast inside, Connecticut should have enough to finish in the top four. To advance in the playoffs, though, they're going to need a little bit more from everyone – and find a way to win on the road.
5. New York (10-10, 7-6 in conference): Though the Liberty are tied with the Sky for last place, they are also just a game and a half out of fourth – but it still comes down to a consistent stretch of winning basketball.
To win, as coaches will be happy to tell you, you have to defend – and New York does not. Opponents shoot 43.9 percent from the field, and that obvious preseason weakness has never been addressed. There's not really a proven defender on the roster, and though the Liberty are efficient offensively, they haven't been able to overcome their undersized defense and substandard rebounding.
That said, Cappie Pondexter (21.2 points per game) has been as good as advertised (the scuffle with Penny Taylor notwithstanding), and Plenette Pierson, Nolan Richardson's gift to Carol Blazejowski, is going to help a lot in the second half of the season.
Otherwise, everyone but Janel McCarville and Nicole Powell is posting pretty much as-expected numbers. If those two manage to get going, the Liberty are poised to make a nice run in late July and August. If they don't, however, the one-dimensional nature of New York's attack will make it too easy for opponents.
Oh, and Sidney Spencer, who wound up being traded for Tina Charles? She's shooting 53.8 percent from the field, but she's only played in 12 games for an average of 8.3 minutes and has barely registered (2.8 points per game) in terms of helping New York win games. Spencer, of course, isn't to blame for the latest Blazejowski blunder, but do you think the Liberty would be in last place if Charles were playing center instead of 86-year-old Taj McWilliams-Franklin*?
6. Chicago Sky (11-11, 6-11 in conference): Had this been written June 21, it would have been a very gloomy story about the Sky. The news is still far from sunny, but since then, Chicago has won seven of its last 10 games, all but two against Eastern Conference competition, and at just a game and a half out of fourth place, has inserted itself back into the postseason conversation.
The reason, of course, is Sylvia Fowles, who healthy at last, has become the best center in the league. She's averaging 18.0 points and 9.8 rebounds per game and she's shooting a phenomenal 60.1 percent. She also blocks 2.8 shots a game but, most important, she has improved her ballhandling and free-throw shooting (80.6 percent) dramatically.
But even with Fowles playing so well, the Sky is getting outrebounded, and thanks to the erratic play of veteran guards Jia Perkins and Dominique Canty, they turn the ball over more than their opponents as well. Shameka Christon (8.5 points per game) and Cathrine Kraayeveld (6.1 points, 3.1 rebounds per game) are nowhere close to performing at their levels in New York last season. In fact, statistically, it's hard to justify the fact that the Sky are outscoring their opponents, but maybe Steven Key does have a clue.
Chicago also may have an edge down the stretch, as the Sky have played only five games against the dismal West, and with seven games against Western conference opponents ahead (only one of them against Seattle), should those teams continue to play as though they had just recently been introduced to the sport, Chicago could be positioned for a late rush to the playoffs.
*Okay, Taj will only be 40 in October, but that's still pretty long in the tooth for this game.

Reliability of 2.5" external drives?
I've done a bit of research but I'm not sure if these drives actually are less reliable than equivalent 3.5" ones. I have tended to use these for back-ups and have had a few problems with a Toshiba and a Freecom Toughdrive. Is it perhaps down to the fact that most of these drives do not require a separate power supply but are powered solely by the USB connector and perhaps are more prone to electrical connection issues. I used to have a USB ethernet connector before I upgraded my system and this had problems showing in the event log which was cured by cleaning the connector with electrical contact cleaner. Perhaps it is simply the USB connectors. Any thoughts or experiences?
|My System Specs

Not my expeience. I have six 2.5" USB powered disks of all different makes. Never had a problem. The one I use the most is a Hitachi - really solid. You must though watch that they do not get excessive shocks when you move them around. I move mine a lot overseas, but I always carry them in my hand luggage.
Next best would be an external SSD - budget allowing.
|My System Specs

We have 5 WD 2.5" portables and fortunately haven't had a problem. But they will need full USB port power. Use a powered hub or a Y USB splitter if required.
Keep the USB cable short because IR voltage drop can definitely be a problem.
On one of my PCs there is a thin long wire run from the Mobo to the front USB connector - ok for USB flash drives but NOT for a portable HDD.

mjf, although your point on a seperate USB power cable is well taken, but it can be a pain. I have one of those with a seperate USB power cable. With only 3 USB ports on most laptops that requires some logistics if you have other devices (printer, projector (when I teach a class) etc.).
|My System Specs
|29 Oct 2011
Do you mean the Y splitter?
If so then yes I agree with your point. With the short cables generally provided with portable HDD the one USB connector should be enough. Also with laptops I believe a lot of the time they are operated close to a powerpoint and a powered hub would be a must have for me anyway.
|My System Specs
|29 Oct 2011
Yes, the Y splitter. I try to avoid extra cables to the outlets. I have 1 desktop and 2 laptops that are 3 feet apart. Plus 2 printers, 3x3.5" disks, audio, modem, router, phone, extra lamps, etc. You should see the cable mess under the desks.
|My System Specs
|30 Oct 2011
It is a time related issue as I do treat them with care and with the last little problem, the Toshiba, scanning the drive for faults produced no evidence of any although I had to copy some files twice because it seems they had become corrupt. They all have been in use for several years and were fine to begin with. Just wondered if others had any of the same problems as I know electrical contact issues can affect all the parts within a computer not just the external connectors.

Can India afford fully free oil prices?
Can India afford fully free oil prices?
(Courtesy: The Economic Times, New Delhi, March 28, 2012)
Perhaps those recalcitrant allies of the Congress are right, but for the wrong reasons. The Trinamool Congress and the DMK, along with a few others, are fighting tooth and nail any move to deregulate diesel and LPG prices - all in the name of the aam aadmi. Which means the UPA is under tremendous political pressure from within not to decontrol oil prices, but much to its delight, an "economic justification" has just cropped up.
A study - which departs from the common-sense argument in favour of market-driven oil prices - suggests that the more decontrolled oil prices are, the lower will be growth, at least in the short run. A National Institute of Public Finance and Policy (NIPFP) paper, authored by NR Bhanumurthy, says, "Contrary to existing beliefs, passing on oil price hikes [to consumers] has an adverse impact on growth." Simply put, when we compare two scenarios- one of a 100% and other of a 50% decontrol of oil prices - when oil prices rise, GDP growth will be lower in the first case, at least in the short run.
The paper forecasts that even if overseas crude prices remain the same between 2012-13 and 2016-17 - a period when the Centre may gradually get rid of oil subsidies - average growth of the Indian economy may fall to 7.6% from 8.44% and average inflation accelerate by 0.7%. The study is based on the intuition that when the government decontrols oil prices, state expenditure on subsidies will fall and if there is no increase in any other component of expenditure, lower government demand will result in lower growth. Besides, higher inflation will contribute to lower real GDP growth.

About Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD or AMD) is the most common cause of irreversible vision loss in the United States, affecting up to 20 percent of people over the age of 60. It is one of the most common conditions that our board-certified retina specialists treat on a daily basis.
AMD is caused by the deterioration of the macula, which is the central area of the retina. This condition causes a loss of central vision that occurs slowly over time. At Retina Consultants of Houston, we work in partnership with each patient to create a customized treatment plan to help slow or stop the progression of the disease.
Types and Symptoms of AMD
AMD usually appears after age 50, and the disease is often bilateral (occurring in both eyes). In addition, patients generally have a significant family history of the disease. Patients with AMD may notice a worsening of their central vision while retaining good peripheral vision. Symptoms of AMD can include:
• Visual distortion, including warping or bending of straight lines and objects
• Blurred central vision in one or both eyes
• Difficulty with reading or close-up work
• Increasing difficulty adapting to changing light conditions, especially low light levels
There are two kinds of age-related macular degeneration (AMD): dry and wet. Both forms can lead to vision loss, and patients can have either or both.
Dry AMD: More than 90% of patients diagnosed with AMD have the dry form, which is often associated with a slower progression of the disease that occurs over many years. It is characterized by drusen formation (yellow deposits under the retina that are made up of lipids, a fatty protein), retinal degeneration, and a gradual wearing away of the retina called atrophy. If these areas of retinal degeneration group together into larger areas, it is called geographic atrophy which is a more advanced stage of the disease. Most patients with early dry AMD with mild retinal changes will have no or minimal problems with their vision. However, in its most advanced form, dry AMD can cause profound central vision loss, often with preserved peripheral (side) vision.
Wet AMD: This form of AMD is characterized by the development of abnormal blood vessels known as choroidal neovascular membranes (CNVM) that disrupt the retina and cause leakage of fluid. This growth of abnormal blood vessels can result in vision loss due to fluid build-up in the retina (macular edema), bleeding in the retina, and scar tissue formation (fibrosis). Wet AMD is generally associated with more rapid visual loss over days to weeks compared to the slower progression of dry AMD.
Macular Degeneration Reviews
"There are several locations: Memorial (i10/Gessner) Katy (La Centerra) 1960 (and 45) Downtown (Medical Center) Sugarland Woodlands Northwest (290/Huffmeister) Nacogdoches Wharton Brehnam Livingston great doctors, all extremely competent each one for what kind of patient you are: Dr Fish/Kim/Chen/Major - a supportive hold your hand dr Dr Brown/Wong/Benz - quick and efficient New Dr. Wykoff - no long wait, convenient scheduling Retinal Detachments, High blood pressure/diabetic related issues, Macular Degeneration...everything Retina related!"- L.K. / Yelp / May 24, 2011
"We appreciate so much Retina Consultants of Houston. Dr. Chen has been used to help preserve my mother's eyesight from the debilitation of macular degeneration. I am eternally grateful. We believe he is in partnership with God. He and all that work with him make every patient feel like they are the most important person in the world. Keep up the great work!"- J.P. / Facebook / May 01, 2015
"I'm a senior still working to face the gradual loss of vision because of macular degeneration.I'm not alone; every month I'm one of many receiving eye injections in the Bellaire office of RCH. That's why having a team of expert and compassionate physicians, technicians and staff makes these visits less of a challenge. My doctor, Ronan O'Malley MD, his office manage, Linda, technicians such as Lucrecia, Roger and Michelle, and the very professional front desk person, Wendy, create an atmosphere in which we feel encouraged and, yes...laugh a lot. Wendy caught my color-loving eye when I was first a patient with hair dyed a vermillion red. That bit of fun boosted my mood. She continues to do that with careful attention to my scheduling needs and at least every few months, a NEW hair color. Turquoise is one of her best. Thank you for wonderful care, RCH.Roberta"- R.M. / Google / Oct 16, 2017
"Dr. Wong and staff at 1960 office have been great, and his care of treating my macular degeneration has been outstanding. Cannot find words to thank him enough. YOU ALL do wonderful work. I am a happy patient. Claire Hale"- C.S. / Facebook / Jan 30, 2016
"Dr. Fish is one of the smartest doctors and finest men I have ever known. An injection into your eye is a most frightening experience and Dr. Fish has a calm and confident manner that makes this experience much more bearable. He has treated my macular degeneration for several years and I am grateful to say that his treatments have been very successful. His staff is kind and understanding and they keep the office running very efficiently, helping with appointments and health insurance issues."- E.A. / Healthgrades / Dec 09, 2016
Known Causes
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) usually occurs after age 50 and is often bilateral (present in both eyes). While the exact cause is unknown, genetics play a role. Many patients have a significant family history of AMD. In addition, numerous studies have revealed that nutritional and lifestyle factors play a role in both the onset and progression of macular degeneration, including:
• Obesity
• Poor diet (especially high levels of saturated fat)
• High blood pressure and cholesterol levels
• Smoking cigarettes
• Cardiovascular disease
Regular eye examinations are important to diagnose and manage AMD. While being evaluated by your eye doctor, you may undergo multiple types of ocular imaging, including photography, ocular coherence tomography (OCT), and fluorescein angiography (FA) to help with your diagnosis and specific treatment plan.
Ocular coherence tomography (OCT): This is a non-invasive ophthalmology imaging method that uses light to capture high-resolution, 3D images of the back of the eye. It allows your retina specialist to see the back of the retina and understand what is taking place.
Fluorescein angiography (FA): This is an imaging study of the blood supply to the retina. Fluorescein dye is injected into the vein of an arm, and this yellow dye passes through the blood vessels in your retina. A specialized camera is then used to take digital photographs of the blood vessels.
Because age-related macular degeneration can be hereditary, adult relatives of AMD patients should see a retina specialist for a baseline evaluation and dilated eye exam.
Treatment and Prognosis
There is currently no cure for either dry or wet AMD. However, there are a number of things you can do to slow the progression of the disease.
Smoking is toxic to the retina and can contribute to AMD progression. If you smoke, stop smoking as soon as possible! Other ways to optimize your retinal health include eating a healthy diet with regular vegetables and fruits, and maintaining a healthy body weight.
The risk of vision loss from some forms of AMD can be reduced by taking a special combination of supplements. The Age-Related Eye Diseases Studies (AREDS & AREDS2), which were large clinical trials, demonstrated a decreased risk of visual loss from moderate dry AMD by taking a combination of the following:
• 15 mg of Beta-carotene
• 400IU of Vitamin E
• 500 mg of Vitamin C
• 80 mg of Zinc
• 2 mg of copper
• Lutein/Zeaxanthin
In addition, an Amsler grid is a chart to use at home to help monitor your vision. Use it daily for each eye as directed and if you notice changes in your vision, contact your ophthalmologist as soon as possible.
Incredible advances in our ability to treat wet AMD since the early 2000s have revolutionized patient outcomes. Before that time, a diagnosis of wet AMD carried a very poor prognosis with most eyes progressing to severe vision loss. Fortunately, medications now available can benefit over 90% of wet AMD patients. These medications primarily target VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor), a molecule responsible for the abnormal blood vessels which cause damage in wet AMD.
Repeated injections of anti-VEGF agents (Avastin, Lucentis & Eylea) have been firmly established as the optimal treatment for wet AMD. These powerful drugs are given as injections into the eye to suppress abnormal blood vessel growth and leakage. Because these injections are not a cure, but only a treatment, they have to be administered repeatedly (sometimes as often as monthly, indefinitely) in order to have their maximal vision-improving results. Extensive numbing of the eye makes this injection procedure virtually painless.
If you have AMD, you should:
• Stop smoking.
• See your retina specialist regularly.
• Consider AREDS supplements.
• Check your Amsler grid daily.
• Eat a healthy diet with plenty of vegetables and fish.
• Maintain a healthy body weight.

Seek Help Today
The retina surgeons at Retina Consultants of Houston will collect as much clinical data as possible with each patient during the initial evaluation. This data, along with assessing the retina's structure and function, provide our surgeons the opportunity to create a unique approach for achieving improved overall vision. If you are experiencing vision loss and seeking help, we invite you to call one of our Houston area retina centers for more information.

Community Hubs
What is a community hub?
Community hubs bring services together in one place to make better use of public spaces to serve Ontarians.
A community hub can be a school, a neighbourhood centre or another public space that offers co-located or integrated services such as education, health care and social services. Each hub is as unique as the community it serves.
Strategic framework and action plan
Read the report with recommendations to guide the creation of community hubs and enable integrated planning.
Minister's forums on integrated planning for community hubs
In fall 2015, a number of forums were held across the province to provide guidance on implementing this recommendation. Over 450 experts and leaders participated in these events to share their thoughts and ideas on how the government and its partners can better support the integrated planning of community-based services.
Read a summary of what we heard and learned.
Planning collaboratives: Learnings to support integrated planning and considerations for municipalities
We conducted intensive research into practices used by planning collaboratives – groups of local agencies or partners from different sectors that work together to plan services or address community problems. These collaboratives often take the form of networks, tables or committees.
Read about the success factors and barriers to various planning tools, mechanisms, synergies, and innovations used by planning collaboratives. This research may help inform future policy and supports for integrated local planning across the province.

A zero waste BirthdayAdd article to favourites
We celebrated a very special Birthday here at Chez Green last week and the earth celebrated with us as it was a true zero waste affair.
Yes, Cattus Green; she of You Tube Fame, saw in her 16th Birthday last Thursday. She is my last remaining friend of seven assorted twins, brothers, sisters and half siblings that I have loved in my time.
She started her celebrations early by devouring about 1/3 roast chicken at that lovely 'just caught by my own fair paw' temperature. She'd been having tinned salmon for a couple of weeks because it was on offer at Lidls, but get this; the girl would rather eat chicken. Chicken it was then along with a piece of string tied onto the end of a newspaper ball for a present. We sang Happy Birthday to her, Little Miss green insisted that I try and stick a Birthday candle in some whipped cream as a sort of 'cake' (I indulged naturally) and we all helped the cat blow it out. A 16 year old cat's puff isn't what it used to be you know.
She spent the day in front of the fire enjoying all the attention, strokes, combs, sweet talkings and that was it. A perfect day without an ounce of waste – if only us humans were so easy to please.

A second Yates leaves his mark on Illinois' history
Like his famous father, the younger Richard Yates was blessed with an orator's voice and, like his father, he would go on to serve as governor of Illinois.
Yates had the distinction of being Illinois' first native-born governor. However, there is little else that is remembered about his unremarkable single term as the state's chief executive.
Born in Jacksonville on Dec. 12, 1860, Yates was raised in the shadow of his dominating father. He first considered a military career, but that ended when he could not secure an appointment to West Point. Instead, he attended Illinois College and was a graduate of the University of Michigan Law School.
Though he did serve as Jacksonville's city attorney for a time, Yates never appeared to have a real interest in building a legal career. The young man had his eye on politics and discovered he could use his considerable oratorical skills to build a constituency among Civil War veterans by reminding them of his famous name. He also had a knack for winning influential friends. <ahref="http://etypeservices.com/Cass%20County%20Star%20GazetteID497/"><spanstyl... 13px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">To view more, please log in or subscribe to the digital edition.


text: Arsenal 4-1 Reading Arsenal 4 (Gervinho 11, Cazorla 47, Giroud 66, Arteta (pen) 77)Reading 1 (Robson-Kanu 68) The Royals were beaten by a superb Arsenal side at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon, in Nigel Adkins' first game in charge of the club.After a bright opening from the visitors, the Gunners took the lead as Gervinho tapped home a cross-come-shot from Santi Cazorla.The away side withstood a barrage of pressure from their hosts before the break, though Cazorla himself doubled the lead after the restart as he brilliantly curled past Stuart Taylor from 20 yards.Olivier Giroud rounded off a lightning fast counter attack to bag a third shortly after the hour mark, before Reading grabbed themselves a consolation as Hal Robson-Kanu headed home Jobi McAnuff's superb dipping cross.Mikkel Arteta would have the last word however – slotting home a spot-kick won by lively substitute Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Arsenal: Fabianski, Sagna, Monreal (Gibbs 70), Mertesacker, Koscielny, Arteta (C), Rosicky, Ramsey, Cazorla, Giroud (Oxlade-Chamberlain 75), Gervinho (Podolski 75)Subs not used: Szczesny, Coquelin, Vermaelen, Jenkinson Reading: Taylor, Kelly, Shorey, Mariappa, Pearce, Karacan (Akpan 75), Leigertwood, Guthrie, Robson-Kanu (McCleary 81), McAnuff, Pogrebnyak (Hunt 60)Subs not used: McCarthy, Gunter, Morrison, Le FondreBooked: Guthrie (foul 32)First HalfNigel Adkins looked calm and composed as he strolled out for his first game in charge of the Royals – and after warmly greeting Arsene Wenger, was welcomed by a sizeable travelling following from Berkshire.There were half openings for Adrian Mariappa and Olivier Giroud in the opening five minutes, though Reading's centre half headed wide – before Arsenal's number 12 nodded straight at Stuart Taylor.The seventh minute saw both sets of fans brilliantly observe a minute's applause for David 'Rocky' Rocastle – on the 12th anniversary of the Gunners' legends passing.And the noise level raised further three minutes later – as Santi Cazorla's cross come shot was tapped home by Gervinho.There were suspicions of offside – but the cries of the blue and white back line proved to be in vain. The Ivorian clipped a header wide after good work from Bacary Sagna moments later, as Wenger's men tried to press home their advantage. There were also cries for a penalty to go to the home side as Taylor took down Giroud in the box, but Adkins' men enjoyed a rare slice of luck as play was waved on. Red tails were up – Gervinho again involved as he skipped past Pearce on the halfway line before galloping forward and dragging an effort wide, as Mariappa did enough to put him off balance. Stephen Kelly was in unbelievable defensive form at times, hurling himself to the floor to heroically block no less than four Arsenal efforts in the first half – whilst Cazorla shot narrowly wide with 39 minutes on the clock. There was still time for Gervinho to slice over after showcasing more quick footwork inside the box, and only another brave stop from Mariappa prevented Cazorla from tapping in from close range. 1-0 it was at the break. Second HalfAll the Royals' resilience before the break was undone quickly after the restart, as Santi Cazorla doubled his side's lead.The diminutive midfielder was teed up by Gervinho – and beautifully curled home past Taylor from the edge of the area. Arsenal continued to look bright, but the Royals made efforts to respond – as Robson-Kanu did brilliantly to drive down the right wing before clipping in a teasing cross, that flew across goal and narrowly evaded the on-rushing Pogrebnyak. Refusing to let their heads drop – the visitors continued to press, as Pearce saw a volley saved from close range after Pogrebnyak had flicked back McAnuff's cross. But as those endeavours continued, it was almost inevitable that the home side would respond with a rapier like counter attack – and so it proved. As Reading lost possession on the left wing Gervinho scampered rapidly upfield, before squaring for Giroud to expertly slot home a third. However that often mentioned Reading spirit was still showcased, as Robson-Kanu pulled one back almost immediately. The Welshman had scored a header for his country in midweek – and this effort was equally impressive, as he stooped low to convert McAnuff's superb right footed cross. But Arsene Wenger was able to call on some impressive cavalry, as international duo Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Lucas Podolski were introduced – and seconds later the Englishman had won a penalty.Mariappa clipped the winger on the edge of the box – with Chris Foy pointing to the spot and Arteta converting coolly from 12 yards. Taylor then saved superbly from Ramsey as Arsenal continued to crank up the pressure in the closing stages. 4-1 it finished - and the Royals are now left to regroup for a home clash with Southampton next weekend.

Pain is debilitating symptoms. But there are ways to control these symptoms. Understand the alternatives to deal with the pain strikes.
Whether the pain is caused by arthritis. The treatment of fibromyalgia, cancer or trauma long ago. You still need to find ways to control these symptoms. But how to be the best way?
The first step in dealing with pain is to make contact with the doctor. To determine the cause of the pain and learn about how the pain that often works with such condition. There are alternatives to pain in different ways. Where you can find an affordable way to help reduce pain as needed. But before you start treating pain. Should understand the definition of the word pain before.
Judith Scheman project leader rehab and recovery from chronic pain, Cleveland Clinic, Ohio, said: "International organizations have concluded that the Study of Pain. Pain is a common symptom that causes discomfort, both physical and emotional. This is important because sometimes we focus only on the Sensation, but do not ignore the suffering caused by pain. This is important The pain is not a symptom of the end of the body.
Why do people feel the pain as well.
The pain is real and physical symptoms. But the pain was measured in each one depends on the perspective of the person is to pain. And that each person's pain is different Scheman said. "What the brain perceives it is being modified by emotion. This means that people with emotional pain is the fear , depression or anxiety. May perceive pain differently. And may feel more strongly than those who do not share these emotions.
Pain Management: Keeping your body and mind.
Scheman has stressed the importance of dealing with the pain, both physical and mental. By emphasizing the need to treat the patient as well as act. Thus, although the medicine used for chronic pain is very effective to me. It is not a tool to deal with the pain that can be used alone to treat. And should not be used alone as well.
Medication : There are several drugs that can be used to treat pain. Although drugs in the opioid and benzodiazepine. This is probably not the best choice. Since each drug has its own problems. And no studies have yet to mention the effects of drug use among opioid analgesia for an extended period of time.
The type of drug that can be used include analgesic.
- NSIADs or analgesic group, not a steroid , such as ibuprofen, naproxen and aspirin.
- paracetamol
- Sadly, drugs which can help with sleep and pain relief.
- Antiepileptic drugs can be used to treat pain caused by nerve damage. Or nerve injury effectively.
- The steroids such as dexamethasone and prednisolone to relieve inflammation and pain.
Treatment of this therapy can treat both physical and Majid mind. These treatments not only cure physical or mental one. It is the integration of the two treatments.
- Physiotherapy Is an important part of dealing with the pain. The pain may be more after exercise invalid. (Or that was the subject of pain due to excessive use) and physical therapists can choose to exercise that right to you. The proper exercise gradually. Increase strength and reduce pain. So you do not have to exercise too much and had to stop because of the pain.
- The cognitive-behavioral therapy, patients learn and understand about the causes of pain and their pain can not do anything about them. This treatment is often about understanding the role of pain on the lives and the impact on you.
Other options to deal with the pain. There are many ways you can help with the pain, both physical and mental, for example.
- TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) therapy that uses electrical nerve stimulation through the skin.
- meditation
- Body relaxation techniques
- The imagination For example, imagine that a sense of serenity.
- Biofeedback teaches that controls the contraction of the muscle temperature, heart rate and more.
- The cold and hot compresses
- massage
In summary, you should seek help when they feel that the pain is starting to create problems for your life Scheman concluded that. "We can not guarantee that you will be living without pain," but when the pain started to make these capabilities to work or take your life away. This shows that pain is a problem that must be corrected.
