Definition of Subconjunctival hemorrhageSubconjunctival hemorrhage: A very common cause of a painless bloody eye usually first noticed by somebody else or by the person with it when they look in the mirror. The bleeding results from a break in a small blood vessel in the sclera, the white of the eye. This releases a tiny amount (less than a drop) of blood which is trapped underneath the conjunctiva, much like the blood in a bruise is trapped in the skin. It is called a subconjunctival hemorrhage since it occurs beneath the conjunctiva, the transparent membrane covering the sclera. A subconjunctival hemorrhage can occur with heavy lifting, coughing, sneezing, vomiting or for no apparent reason. It looks bad and may be frightening, but is not dangerous and leaves no residual change in vision. There is no discharge from the eye. The redness may turn brown or green and everything returns to normal within 3 weeks as the blood is absorbed. Subconjunctival hemorrhage does not require treatment. Any features not characteristic of subconjunctival hemorrhage (such as pain in the eye, a change in vision, or failure to clear up within 3 weeks, or recurrent hemorrhage) are reasons to see a doctor. Medical conditions that can upon occasion cause subconjunctival hemorrhages include bleeding disorders, blood-thinner (such as heparin and Coumadin), and high blood pressure.

Iker Casillas may not have been an automatic starter for Real Madrid last season, but his standing as captain and leader of a historic Spain side remains undisputed. It was current coach Vicente del Bosque himself who gave Casillas a first taste of Spain's La Liga 14 years ago, thrusting him into action for Real Madrid, where the goalkeeper has been since childhood. He has since won virtually every honour with Real Madrid.
A prodigious youngster, Casillas was promoted to the Real Madrid first team in 1999 aged just 17 and a year later he won the Bravo Award as Europe's best player under the age of 21. In 2002 Casillas was thrown in at the deep end in the Champions League final, coming on as a substitute for his injured team-mate and helping the side to their ninth continental crown.
Casillas is renowned as much for his agility, composure and superb reflexes as he for his humble and likeable character. Alongside his friend and Barcelona rival Xavi, Casillas was given The Prince of Asturias Award for Sport in 2012 for being a role model to youngsters.
He made his bow for La Roja in June 2000 and has since gone on to win more than 140 international caps, spanning the three most recent FIFA World Cups™ and the last four UEFA EUROs. Furthermore, Casillas won the FIFA World Youth Championship Nigeria 1999. He has now had the honour to be the one lifting the three last major titles in La Roja history.

I disagree with GrantOct. 2, 2013 |
I read my good friend Alex Grant's recent column in the Longmeadow News with great interest, but I must strongly disagree with both his observations and conclusions. He indicated that the Longmeadow Select Board and the town manager, Stephen Crane, have been passively awaiting the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission to complete a traffic study necessary to pursue mitigation negotiations with MGM, and their failure to act was perilous to the town. Nothing could be further from the truth. The town of Longmeadow has been preparing for negotiations since December of 2012, and indeed we have had active negotiations with MGM for six months now along an array of issues. Our department heads and town employees, under the direction of the town manager, have put in countless hours and extra work to help the town of Longmeadow with the ongoing mitigation process. I would especially like to thank our new town manager, Stephen Crane. Despite just assuming his position in April, he quickly grasped the intricacies of the gaming legislation passed by the State Legislature and has worked diligently to prepare negotiation strategies and gather information for negotiations. He has contacted the Gaming Commission numerous times, spoken to surrounding communities, worked with PVPC, and marshaled the various Town Departments to work on this important issue. This measured approach will evaluate all the impacts to our community lays the basis for quantifying these impacts. Successful negotiations, and fair mitigation reimbursements, require that we have carefully documented and analyzed data across a spectrum of issues, including traffic, police, and infrastructure burdens that we will have to deal with. In regards to the traffic study cited by Mr. Grant, the Department of Public Works has worked with Massachusetts Department of Transportation and Pioneer Valley Planning Commission on a regional traffic study. The DPW has also been reviewing traffic studies currently available and evaluating that data, including the collection and review of raw traffic data. All this extra work has occurred during one of the heaviest construction seasons in Longmeadow history. I want to thank the Department of Public Works for their extra work this year on the casino mitigation project and to commend them for their high level of expertise. Their skill set and dedication to the job has served Longmeadow well in this process. Without doubt, traffic flows through Longmeadow will increase. MGM concedes that their proposed facility will generate almost 20,000 daily vehicle trips on an average Saturday, with a substantial portion coming from the south, through Longmeadow, via Interstate 91 and Route 5. Unfortunately traffic studies already conducted by PVPC and a private engineering firm cannot accurately forecast the costs of a neighboring casino to Longmeadow because there are numerous unknown variables with this project. The Town of Longmeadow has been pursuing the necessary traffic data through three different means. First, we have already reviewed previous traffic studies. Second, we are conducting a regional traffic study in collaboration with PVPC. Finally, we are consulting with other traffic engineering firms that we may use if Longmeadow's needs are not met by the current efforts. As the reader can see, we are most certainly not "reluctant to act" in the interests of our community, and are clearly not taking "a passive approach." The negotiation of a mitigation agreement is a complicated process, and is best accomplished when we all pull together in concert. I would like to thank Town Manager Stephen Crane, the Longmeadow town employees, and our Town Counsel David Martel for their hard work and dedication in the pursuit of this difficult but vital process. Marie Angelides Selectman Longmeadow |

Ive only ever used OpenVPN.
Its a doddle to set up IMO.
Anyone got any useful guides for setting VPN up, or understanding it a bit more.
Trying to setup VPN access on our Vigor 3300 router, but haven't the foggiest how it all works and what to use.
It supports PPTP L2TP and IPSEC.
Ive only ever used OpenVPN.
Its a doddle to set up IMO.
What sort of VPN?
Site-to-Site (use IPSEC)
Point-to-site (use L2TP)
Do *not* use PPTP. Ever. It sucks.
I'm not familiar with the vigor routers, but I can probably help with general questions like "What do i need to put in setting X"
L2TP at your estimate (PC-to-SITE or MobileDevice-to-SITE)
Draytek actually have a Vigor 3300 demo site, where you can mess around with its exact configuration panel on the interweb.
DrayTek V3300 Advanced Router :: Administration
Which is always nice and dandy right? (Bit slow, its hosted in Taiwan)
DrayTek V3300 Advanced Router :: Administration
OK... would likely stick w/ chap as default, but then when it works, try MSCHAPv2
Stick with local users.
If you are ever going to have many (5+) users, ditch the draytek
Cant quite see where to set up usernames though?
Once you're done, you will need to get a windows box outside the draytek, and then create a new connection in network connections, of type VPN. It will auto-negotiate lt2p/pptp, but best set it manually. Looks like the draytek is PSK rather than certificate based, so should be no need for any of that.
ahuxham (29th August 2008)
I set up a Vigor 3300V earlier this year using the guides available at Support Center -- Application Notes.
If you're stuck with anything give me a shout, i've got it working nicely with various xp and vista clients.
L2TP is ok... not the worst for bandwidth wasting, you will find you can do remarkably well with a couple of users on a DSL line. Can easily get 5 or 6 VoIP conversations, for example.
Just watch which protocols you use.
L2TP has 2 options - "gateway mode" where the remote gateway is used, and ALL traffic goes down the tunnel, or "split" where only traffic destined for the private net is tunneled. The latter is less secure (you're effectively making the l2tp client part of the perimeter) but means extraneous activity doesn't swipe bandwidth. If your clients are in the hands of trustworthy, intelligent users not running as admin, the split mode may be the best option. It is a client-side parameter - i believe remote gw is the default.

Bahrain Blogger Comes Out Of Hiding
By editor
When the crackdown against pro-democracy protests started in Bahrain, blogger and online activist Ali Abdulemam went into hiding. He was later tried in absentia by a military court for plotting against the regime. Host Michel Martin speaks to Abdulemam about his escape from Bahrain, and how he now feels about his country.

I have fairly thick, curly hair and am of south asian descent. My curls are not like ringlets or anything, it's more of a loose curl and brushed out it just looks wavy. However, I have had problems with manageability given that my hair does get quite frizzy. This product when worked into my hair essentially calms it down. My hair feels very soft after using this, dry or wet, and it never looks greasy even when I use more than I think I need. If I use this and tie my hair up then my hair comes out looking smooth and shiny. I recommend this to anyone with my hair type. The smell is not at all obnoxious like other hair serums, in fact I think it's rather pleasant.

This product actually really surprised me, garnier stuff doesnt ever seem to do much for me but this definitely does!
I use it every night after getting out of the shower and rub it through the ends of my hair. It makes my hair dry 1000x faster, and over time I have definitely noticed a difference in the softness of my hair. I still wouldn't consider my hair to be healthy but this has helped it out a lot. You should for sure give it a try!

I have med blonde hair and this turned my hair yellow I fact this spilt on my bedding and permently staind it! I do admit it works make your hair feel nice so for people with darker hair it will be fine but for e ones with light hair stay away!
-makes hair soft and manageable
-changes hair color
I have lots & lots of fine shoulder-length hair. I have natural volume, natural waves, and I don't dye or highlight my hair, so that's natural also. It's a head of hair that many women would pine for. Unfortunately, my hair frizzes, not a little but a lot, and it needs styling to keep it in shape. I've always been a minimalist when it comes to my hair - little product, little heat, little styling, little whatever. I like a natural look, not an over-processed or over-made-up look, and I don't like to spend a lot of time on my hair. Achieving that look with minimal time & effort is sometimes difficult & tricky, but that's always been my goal ... since I was a teen.
My go-to treatments have been Biosilk Serum, a Frieda smoother and Sebastian Potion 9. I have rotated through those products for too many years to count. Unfortunately, in spite of deep conditioning hair treatments, my hair started to become unmanageable and frizzy in the last few months, and my hair care & styling routine was no longer working. I attribute this to a combination of hard water build-up and heat damage from new tools that replaced a decade-old combination blower & iron tool that finally went kaput. After going through 3 different tools to replace the original, none of which was working with my hair, I knew I needed a radical change. I swapped out my entire hair care routine -- all new products, tools and techniques. After reading many reviews & comparing prices, I decided to give Moroccan Oil a try as a finishing serum, and I chose this Garnier Fructise product over the name-brand original oil.
This is a great product that creates sleek, shiny hair. As part of my routine, I apply it to clean damp hair, in little bits from the bottom up. I let my hair air dry, and then I use jumbo hot rollers to get sleek hair that resembles a professional blowout. My natural, middle-age hair has amazing shine and highlights, which I attribute to this oil when used with the hot rollers. I get a great look with minimal effort. And no frizzies.
I usually go 3 days between shampoos, and my hair still looks sleek & shiny on day 3. Unfortunately, my hair seems to be a bit weighed down by day 3 when I use this oil. I don't think I'm using too much product - in fact, I'm using very little because my hair is so fine, even if there is lots of it. So, I think my next step is to try a dry shampoo - I think that just might rectify the issue with third day hair.
Super, super product! Such a great product for a little dough. Unfortunately, it smells like coconut & suntan oil - I could do without that but for the price I'll let that go. Otherwise I'm quite pleased and will purchase again.

Wow I'm an Argan oil nut and I saw this in Target for under 5$ so I said why not. I've used Morrocanoil,One n Only,Josie Maran, and countless others and I have to say this one is the best for straightening my hair! I wait till my hair is about 50% dry and I use about a silver dollars worth because my hair is very long almost to my behind, and super thick. It get's so puffy too because I'm naturally wavy so humidity isn't good to me. Well I really like this version. I straightened my hair in no time. It took about 20 minutes. It usually takes me almost an hour! It has cut my styling time down so much and I am so happy!
My hair actually looks polished and not frizzy. I divided my hair into 3 sections and went to work and it wasn't work lol. My hair feels so soft and healthy and non greasy. I am so glad I tried this because I was running out of the One n Only and I said why not try this. Normally I do not use Garnier because I don't like how my hair feels but this I love! There is a very big cone as the 1st ingredient but argan is 2nd so that is very good.
This IMO is an excellent hair product that gives my other oils a run for their money. I am very happy with how my hair feels and the whole styling process. For us ladies with thick,thirsty hair will luv this. Even ladies with fine hair if used sparingly I can see loving this product. Give this stuff a try ladies it really is a great product. Recommended!

this stuff is FANTASTIC. after some mishaps with hair dye, my hair was dull, lifeless, and dry. my naturally soft wavy-curly locks were reduced to a frizzy, stringy mess. i've tried many many products to give my hair the life i'd so stupidly taken away from it with hair dye, but most just weighed it down, killing any bit of curl it had. i'd been reduced to tying my waist-length hair up in a bun day after day because it was completely unmanageable.
i bought this, hoping it was everything the reviews said it is. and, it IS. i put it in my damp hair, and scrunched it a bit with my fingers, and i have soft, shiny, waves like i haven't had in years. this oil absorbed quickly, and all it left behind was softness and shine. the scent is very soft and dissipates quickly, which is great. i even slept in this, and my hair is still soft and shiny. it's so smooth. my hair hasn't been this soft in years. the fact that it makes your hair look and feel great, without weighing your hair down and making it feel sticky and letting it actually flow and behave like hair should, is what makes this magic.
i've also been struggling with a layer of impossibly frizzy hair. it never stays smooth, no matter what. even with deep conditioning, protein treatments, and even hair oils, i could still feel the frizz. it never went away or was tamed in the least. it's been there as long as i can remember, for at LEAST ten years. it extends from root to tip, almost as though it grows frizzy. very frustrating. well, i'm ecstatic to say that it's not there anymore. i don't know what this stuff did to it, but that entire layer of frizz is now soft and wavy like the rest of my hair.
garnier, i don't know what you put in this, but this is amazing. you have a real winner here. you gave me my hair back and made it beautiful again. thank you, and i will be buying this forever.

I didn't want to believe it, because I rarely use Garnier products, but I gave this a try and I do love it, because it is not greasy and absorbs quickly.
I squeeze the water out of your hair, then when it's about 50% dry, then I put this golden orange oil on my hair, smells like baby cologne to me, but it dissipates quickly, it really does seal in moisture, makes hair dry faster and gives it shine...Why pay more for other oils, when this does the job?
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Okay, I saw this in the store for $5 and thought, hey, why not give it a try? My other Moroccan Oil was $59, and was very heavy and took overnight to absorb. Well, I was incredible impressed with this one! I have very, very long, straight, incredibly think brown hair, and usually anything I apply makes it look oily and gross. This one did not, and it absorbed in less than 10 minutes and make it WICKED soft and shiny!! I only apply about a quarters size amount on either side of my head from chin down, because any farther up would make it appear oily. I would not recommend it for people with shorter hair though, because after asking me how I got my hair so soft my friend decided to get some for herself (she has thinner, shoulder length hair) and she barely used any and it appeared very wet and oily. But anyways, for me, this is the best. I love it. I need more. Try it. Just do it.

I absolutely love love love this on my coarse curly hair. My thirsty dry hair just sucks it up, leaving my hair soft and manageable. I used to straight iron my unmanagable hair, now I add a quarter size right after shampooing and let it dry naturally. I love my curly hair again! Thank you, Garnier!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I live in North Dakota and the winters are very cold and rough on my hair. I love this oil for reducing split ends and protecting my hair from cold, dry wind and styling damage too. After I work it into my damp hair, it absorbs right away and my hair seems sleeker, less frizzy, and not oily. I can't put it at the roots, though, because it does make my hair feel greasier than usual, but using it at the ends of my hair is great!

"V" is for "Versatile"
This tiny house is adorable and efficient. It will work well either as a backyard office or studio separate from the house, or as a home for people who want to live smal....or should we say HUGE.
The beauty of this design is its versatility. All specifications can be built to suit. However this house is not very suitable for life on the road due to its large overhang roof. When we build these houses at our shop, we leave the roof off for transportation and then assemble it once on a foundation. If you are looking for a house to stay on the trailer, we suggest looking at our Acorn house. Check out our video below! Specifications of the Base Model
Footprint:8' x 13' (under 10 m²) Roof overhang: 16" / 20" Height: 11' Sleeping loft: 86" x 49" Closet: 31" x 26" Desk/table: 49" x 23" Wet room: 31" x 36" ExtrasOur houses come with basic electric appliances. If you want specific models, the difference in price will be added. Our base models come with a shower and toilet type of your choice. They do not come with washer or dryer, skylight, solar system kit or a deck of any sort (although we are happy to do on-site work).
Starting at 30,000 for 108 sq ft house. For larger house add $120 per sq ft. |
FeaturesConstruction and materials
Fully insulated walls, floor, and ceiling. Cedar and corrugated metal siding. Metal roof. Drywall and lots and lots of local wood can be found on the inside. Doors and windows French doors suit this house well. Comes with a minimum of 7 windows. Built-in furniture Hand made wood wardrobe. Convertible desk/dining table. Shelving and drawers. Sleeping loft or murphy bed with custom ladder (a medal one with hand rails is extra). Lighting and electrical Switched porch light. Switched ceiling fixture. At least one vent and many many outlets. Can plug into a designated exterior outlet or go straight into the main panel. Off grid is also an option, although we suggest going with all propane appliances. Heat Auxiliary baseboard heater. Dickinson propane heaters work well however they come with an additional charge. (An oil-filled electric heater can also work.) We do not suggest wood heat for multiple reasons. Plumbing Connects to water supply on site. If using a flush toilet it must be hooked up to septic otherwise with a composting toilet it can just have a grey water system. |

What species is it? Denise in Omaha |
Your Hoya could be either Hoya verticillata, parasitica or acuta and many people claim that these species are all synonymous. Hoya verticillata would be the proper accepted name and this species can have different coloured flowers and leaves with markings, veins, no visible veins, a visible central vein or midrib as in your plant and varying leaf thicknesses.

Contact this shelter/rescue group to see their pets for adoption. |
Our Featured Pahrump, NV Partner:
Wa-Hya's Wolfdog & Special Breed Rescue
Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
Pahrump, NV 89060 (702) 400-8278 |
Email: Website: http://photobucket.com/albums/v501/WaHyasRescue/ |
Pets at Our Rescue Group:
Cities, Towns, and/or Counties We Serve:
Pahrump and Las Vegas mainly. Will adopt out to other U.S. States and take in from other states as well.About Our Rescue Group:
We are not a shelter, but a private rescue facility. We do not take aggressive dogs, period. Either human aggressive, cat aggressive or dog aggresive. The only breeds we take as an owner turn-in is a Newfoundland, Newf-mix, or German Wirehaired Pointer. Owner turn-in's are by appointment only. Please call ahead.We are just 2 people who really try and help as many as we can. We are not huge, but do what we are able. We pull 1-2 at a time when we have room. We mainly have large breed dogs. Some have been in abusive situations including back yard breeders/puppy mills. Some are owner turn-in's who need just as much help or they would end up in the shelter. Most of these dogs were on their last hour of life.
We do adopt out of state but most of our animals should not or cannot fly, so please take that into consideration when you apply.
We have set up a "Sponsorship Program". We feel like there are so many people out there who want to help but do not have the time. We have developed this program to help those people. The dogs we save from the shelters need places to stay, vet treatment, training, and of course food and toys, besides lots of love. There are never enough charitable contributions to cover these costs. The Sponsorship Program allows individuals to select a dog from "Our Adoptable Pet List" and actually help that dog from the beginning stage of being bailed from the shelter to placing the dog into a new loving home. We will send photos and progress reports for the dogs you select to Sponsor. The Sponsors will be making a difference in a dogs life, without having to sacrifice their time. We welcome you to become involved!!
******We are looking for groomers to donate time to get some of these dogs back into shape. If you can help with any grooming, please contact us.
We can always use donations of large crates, towels, and blankets. **Kuranda beds are needed right now.
Please save a life, and adopt a rescue, don't buy from a Petshop supporting the Puppy Mills. Yes, ALL Petshops get their puppies from Puppymills or Back Yard Breeders who do not do health tests and sell them too young.
We are proud to sponsor a program that encourages senior citizens to adopt senior pets. Seniors for Seniors enables people 60 years and older to adopt a dog that is 5 years or older from us for a reduced adoption fee. I saw this program up in Northern Nevada and wanted to try something like that here. This is on a case by case basis and adopters will have to still fill out our adoption application and pass a homecheck.
Come Meet our Pets:
Visitors by appointment only..NOTE: We have a new email address so please take note if you have emailed us previously.
The best days for appointments are Mon/Tues/Wed.
Our Adoption Process:
We do require a homecheck, application and contract to adopt from us as well as a $250 adoption fee for purebreds and $200 for all mixed $150 fee for puppies too young for spay/neuter. We require fully enclosed 6 foot fences for almost all of our rescues (we have had the occasional dog who is fine in 4 or 5 foot fences) as well as not being a guard dog nor an outside only dog. With young puppies we do a foster contract until the puppy is spayed/neutered and then we will do an adoption of that dog to their foster if they are interested.I thank each and every person who has adopted from us to keep our rescue going. You all are the ones who save future lives as well as the ones you adopt. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Wimbledon MVP: Serena or Federer?
What a Wimbledon it was. From the early-round losses of Venus Williams and Rafael Nadal to the controversial comments from Gilles Simon. We had untimely rain, roof dilemmas and ordinance restrictions. And, of course, there was that golden set. What else could we have wanted?
After a captivating couple of weeks, our writers unveil their Wimbledon awards.
Most Valuable Player
Peter Bodo: Andy Murray whipped the entire U.K. into a frenzy and stimulated a lot of interest in other places simply by virtue of his situation, vying to become the first British man to win Wimbledon since Fred Perry last did it in 1936. That he was asked to accomplish this against Roger Federer, the holder of 16 Grand Slam titles (including six at Wimbledon) -- a daunting assignment. Although Murray lost his fourth Grand Slam final, he gave his countrymen plenty to appreciate and justifiably fired hopes in a high-quality four-set final. Kudos to Murray for being so consistent at a tournament where he's always under a tremendous amount of pressure. It will truly be a bummer if and when he loses in the first week because the tournament would not be the same without this storyline.
Howard Bryant: Roger Federer. He said he wasn't done, and he meant it. He said he thought he could still be the No. 1 player in the world when few others did. Roger Federer wasn't just terrific in winning his 17th major and seventh Wimbledon, he put on a clinic against Andy Murray. His performance in the third and fourth sets was some of the best tennis he's ever played.
Greg Garber: Serena Williams. After a terrible year off the court she was winless in her past seven Grand Slam events, but here at Wimbledon she regained her championship form. The greatest serve in the history of the women's game was in the rarest form. Serena hit 102 aces (against only 10 double faults) -- the most important ones coming in a 49-second span of the third set of the final against Agnieszka Radwanska. Serena went 4-for-4 in aces and never lost another game. She seems healthy and, more importantly, happy. Watch out, WTA opponents.
Kamakshi Tandon: The two 30-year-old resurgent champs came out on top, but this unfolded very much as Andy Murray's tournament. He had the trickiest draw of the top seeds through to the semifinals, then all the pressure of not facing Rafael Nadal. But he came through it all, playing well from the very first round. He then stole the show with his teary postmatch speech, despite losing the final.
Ravi Ubha: The old guy, Roger Federer, fought, fought and fought some more to win major No. 17. What I'll remember most isn't Federer beating Andy Murray in the final, but Federer staying calm and focused after dropping the opening two sets to Julien Benneteau in the third round. No sign of panic, even with a back that wasn't 100 percent. Head down, he went to work like he has so many times in the past. If that doesn't give you an indication of his motivation -- at the age of 30 -- nothing will.
Matt Wilansky: Tough pickings between two 30-year-olds, who, by the way, won a Slam at the same event for the sixth time. But the edge in this geriatric bowl has to go to Serena Williams over Roger Federer. Not only for overcoming a couple of really bad performances, but for winning the doubles championship just hours after she hoisted the singles trophy. Serena was able to maintain her focus after a cathartic match against Agnieszka Radwanksa in the final. Serena has had her share of shortcomings, for sure. Most notably, she was kicked out of the French Open in the first round and looked like a shadow of her former self. But a few weeks later, she's sparked the same old debate all over again: Is Serena truly the best player in the game?
Least Valuable Player
Bodo: Victoria Azarenka, Madame Whoooo, was the invisible woman at this tournament. This despite reaching the semifinals, ending up ranked No. 1 and losing to Serena Williams. Azarenka has taken some giant steps backward since she earned the No. 1 ranking with that great start Down Under early this year. Maria Sharapova stole Azarenka's thunder in Paris, and by the time Vika got to Wimbledon, it seemed that nobody cared how she did, or what she had to say for herself. She was not touted going in or mourned going out. Azarenka can be very dismissive, and her sarcasm wears thin. And the fact so many people find her shrieking off-putting didn't help her cause.
Bryant: Rafael Nadal. After winning his seventh French Open and ridding himself of the specter of Novak Djokovic, it appeared that Nadal was ready to make another title run. Then Lukas Rosol sent Nadal into a tailspin. It is now unclear which Nadal will enter the Olympics and the U.S. Open. Suddenly, Nadal is now third in the world, and again it is uncertain how much wear and tear is on Nadal's body and psyche.
Garber: A tie between Petra Kvitova and Caroline Wozniacki. Kvitova, the defending champion, struggled against Francesca Schiavone in the quarters and got dusted by Serena Williams in the semifinals 6-3, 7-5. As she proved a year ago, Kvitova has the big game for grass but just doesn't take enough off her shots when things get tight. Wozniacki, the former world No. 1, crashed out in the very first round when Tamira Paszek, an eventual quarterfinalist, pounded her in three sets. Neither result was exactly a shock.
Tandon: If this is code for worst showing, it goes to Samantha Stosur. She should be able to adapt her game to this surface but has never made it further than the third round at Wimbledon. She has lost here in the first round six times. This year, she lost in the second round to Arantxa Rus by the suitably bizarre score of 6-2, 0-6, 6-4.
Ubha: When the year began, I'll admit that I thought Petra Kvitova could win two of the first three majors. She started off well in Australia and, of course, was the defending champion at Wimbledon. However, Kvitova -- and I'm aware she was ill and injured in the winter and spring -- hasn't done enough. It's time to hone her game and not go for too much, too soon in rallies. Yes, Serena Williams won Wimbledon, but I expected Kvitova to push her more in the quarterfinals. Hey, Jie Zheng, Yaroslava Shvedova and Agnieszka Radwanska all took Serena to three.
Wilansky: Imagine stringing together the perfect set: No double faults. Not one mental lapse, a pratfall on the slick grass or one unforced error. Imagine an opponent who couldn't muster one lousy ace, one go-for-broke winner or one lucky drop shot. Yaroslava Shvedova won the first set of her third-round match at Wimbledon 6-0 and, in the process, did not lose a single point. But it was who she beat in this golden set that was just as mind-numbing. Sara Errani, the 10th seed and this year's French Open runner-up, suffered an unthinkable loss. This is only the second known time in the Open era a player has won (or lost) 24 straight points. Certainly Errani was not among the favorites here at Wimbledon considering her diminutive stature and lack of firepower. But c'mon, man, win one paltry point. Serve underhanded, if you must. Serve and volley. Do something. Do anything. But save yourself from that awful place next to Marcos Hocevar in the record books.
Biggest surprise
Bodo: The upset of No. 2 seed and two-time champ Rafael Nadal by Lukas Rosol in the second round was one of those events so shocking that any tennis fan is bound to remember where he was when he watched the match or heard about the upset. More surprising yet was the way Nadal lost, firing on all cylinders in a fifth set that almost everyone uniformly expected him to win, especially because it was played after a rain delay and under the roof. Theoretically, Nadal had ample time to regroup and Rosol, the 26-year-old Czech journeyman, had sufficient time to get all weirded out for the final set. Nadal's loss opened many doors, including big ones for Andy Murray (whom Nadal had beaten in their past three Grand Slam meetings, all semifinals) and Roger Federer. You could almost say that he inadvertently took a bullet for the team, because of the way the big three have dominated lately. It wouldn't be far off from the truth.
Bryant: Serena Williams. She is the greatest player of her time. She is a favorite when she's healthy. She was a four-time champion. She has the best serve in the women's game. All of these things are true, but no one expected her to serve so well, to dominate the field as though the years were turned back. She served 102 aces against 10 double faults. She erased the memory of losing in the first round at Roland Garros and built a mandate. The lesson not to underestimate her was well taken.
Garber: Rafael Nadal, in a bad way. He was terrific in Paris, lifting his seventh French Open title, but the effort seemed to cost him here. He went out in the second round to a Czech Republic player ranked No. 100 in the world. Lukas Rosol pushed Rafa to five sets and, unbelievably, prevailed. In his postmatch news conference, Nadal intimated that he wasn't quite right. Later, it came out that his knees are bothering him again. Going forward, that is not good.
Tandon: Don't see how you can pick anything other than Rafael Nadal going out to Lukas Rosol. It wasn't just that Nadal lost. It was who he lost to. Rosol was ranked No. 100 and barely familiar even to close tennis followers. Rosol simply hit Nadal off the court in the fifth set. Nadal later pulled out of a scheduled exhibition with knee tendinitis, but even then, it remains a shocker.
Ubha: I shouldn't have been so foolish to think David Ferrer couldn't reach the quarterfinals at Wimbledon. After all, he's been to the semis at the three other majors. He upset (for me) Andy Roddick in the third round and crushed Juan Martin del Potro in the fourth. Then in the quarters, Ferrer played the best match of his life on grass -- extending Andy Murray to four tight, dramatic sets. His performance outweighs the fact he cracked late in the second set. The respect I had for him (already substantial) elevated.
Wilansky: Murray couldn't do it, so how about Marray? Jonathan Marray became the first British man to win a Wimbledon title since 1936, the same year Fred Perry won the singles title. Marray and his partner, Frederik Nielsen, overcame four five-set matches and shocked the Bryan brothers in the semifinals en route to the men's doubles championship. This is even more astonishing considering this was only the fourth tournament Marray and Nielsen had ever played together. But somehow, I don't think this consolation prize will satisfy a nation bereft of the ultimate goal, a hometown singles champ.
Favorite moment
Bodo: I'm a little tired of the high-profile parents in tennis, and the way the media tends to cater to them, right down to those endless cuts of mom and pop in the player guest box. Well, when Andy Murray came off the court following his semifinal win over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, the BBC's Garry Richardson was entrusted with the task of the first off-court interview for the television audience. Richardson worked hard to squeeze a little drama out of Andy, who eschews overt displays of emotion off the court. So he segued to the subject of Murray's parents, who were prominent in the guest box. The interviewer asked, "What can it possibly have been like, Andy, for your parents watching there?" Perfectly deadpan, Andy replied, "I've no idea. I'm not really that bothered. It's a lot harder for me, that's for sure." I don't think Richardson knew what to say to that, but he deserved it for going with such a weak and smarmy question. And I swear, a mischievous little smirk crossed Murray's lips as he left.
Bryant: Andy Murray's humanity. The BBC was swept up, as were the reporters in the press room, as were the cab drivers and the die-hards on Henman Hill, as was the whole tennis-loving, pride-swelled U.K. Andy Murray lost. Roger Federer was better, but Murray standing at Centre Court exhausted and emotive was his most endearing moment as a professional. It was once more the business of caring that Murray exemplified. He stood in front of his mix of nations and cried because he fell short of the goal of winning. He had nothing left. The cliché of "leaving it on the field" was illustrated by Murray in losing. All that was left were tears.
Garber: The Golden Set, for sure. This is why you watch tennis: every fortnight of major tennis brings something new. Thank you, Yaroslava Shvedova for providing this most recent example. Against French Open finalist Sara Errani, Shvedova -- with her sporty industrial arts glasses -- pitched a perfect game, winning all 24 points of the first set. Later she said she wasn't even aware that it had happened. History says it happened only one other time. Remarkable.
Tandon: To go a little outside the usual suspects, watching the wild-card team of Jonathan Marray and Frederik Nielsen win the men's doubles titles over five sets, in front of a packed Centre Court crowd, with the match televised in the United States and in prime time in Great Britain was tremendous. A great moment in the spotlight for doubles, and even if Murray couldn't match it in the singles, at least Marray became the first British man since 1936 to win the men's doubles at Wimbledon.
Ubha: It had to be Sara Errani, who needed all of seven seconds to finish off American Coco Vandeweghe in the first round. In case you missed it, the match was halted because of rain with Errani holding match point. When they came back the next day, Vandeweghe double-faulted. There were smiles from Errani, Vandeweghe and the chair ump. Unfortunately for Errani, she wasn't smiling later in the week when on the receiving end of Yaroslava Shvedova's golden set.
Wilansky: The emotional reaction to Andy Murray's effort. And in turn, the tears he shed for leaving his hometown fans without a Grand Slam champion they so desperately desire. It was humbling to see the Murray the media doesn't depict -- the player who exemplifies passion and an understanding of what his title would have meant. The fans on Centre Court and on Murray Mound wrapped their collective arms around Murray because they knew he was hurting. Murray spoke about the pressure of being that guy but also about his appetite to placate his people. It didn't work out for Murray this time. But he showed us his heart is every bit as big as his game, and that's a perfect combination for a future Grand Slam champion.
Worst moment
Bodo: This wasn't my worst moment, but it sure was Sara Errani's. She was the victim of only the second golden set ever recorded in pro tennis, when Yaroslava Shvedova won their third-round match without losing a single point in the first set. Of course, it was a great moment for Shvedova, and tennis history, but you had to feel for Errani. She had just come off an appearance in the French Open final, and she was seeded No. 10. It isn't like she was, oh, some British teenage wild card. Errani put up more of a fight in the second set, losing 6-0, 6-4, and Shvedova's reward for her great accomplishment was a date with the woman who would go on to win the title, Serena Williams.
Bryant: The Roof Fiasco, which recurred. The organizers at Wimbledon deflected the situation with humor, creating a Twitter feed called "Wimbledonroof" that sent out cute, pithy messages. But the truth is that the organizers mismanaged the weather and use of the roof and in turn affected the outcome of matches, including Nadal's upset.
Garber: Kim Clijsters exits. You're always hoping for an uplifting farewell -- why does it so rarely seem to happen? Clijsters, the four-time Grand Slam champion, was playing her last Wimbledon. Injuries have taken their toll and she's eager to start adding to her family. The 29-year-old Belgian worked her way into the fourth round, but was blasted by German Angelique Kerber 6-1, 6-1. It was a tough way to go out and it left you wishing she had checked out at the end of last year, with an Australian Open title in her trophy case.
Tandon: The tournament started in fairly ugly fashion, with fighting words over prize money, Olympic entries and even Ivo Karlovic accusing the linesman of bias. But the controversy with the most staying power had to be the roof. It was closed for an entire day when there was sunshine outside, which got much negative reaction. Then there was a lot of caution about closing the roof, which caused a lot of delays. In the first Wimbledon with really poor weather since the roof was introduced, it became apparent that rain delays will continue to be a big part of the Championships.
Ubha: It was sad indeed to see Venus Williams lose in the first round to Elena Vesnina. Well, not only lose, but get thumped. Williams put so much effort into returning from an autoimmune disorder earlier this year, and it has, apparently, taken a toll. Only once before -- on her first visit in 1997 -- had Venus fallen in the first round. If it was her last appearance at the grass-court major, what a shame. She deserves better.
Wilansky: The way that Venus Williams went down. After coming back from her well-publicized battle with an autoimmune disease, Venus struggled with nearly every step in a listless 6-1, 6-3 loss to Elena Vesnina on the opening day. It was sad to see not only the downfall of a player who had won this event five times, but a player whose performance made us wonder if she'll ever be back. Sjogren's syndrome causes fatigue, which is certainly a massive impediment, and you never know when the symptoms will flare up. But it's safe to say we'll never see the Venus Williams who once dominated year in, year out on these hallowed grounds.

PORTLAND, Ore. July 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Studies link poor oral health with a higher risk for heart disease, stroke, and delivery of premature or low birth-weight babies. Despite these documented risks, 45 percent of the U.S. population is living without dental insurance - nearly twice the rate of people without medical insurance.
To help make dental care more accessible to people, Regence Life and Health has introduced two affordable, individual dental plans that reward members for being proactive about their dental health. Under the plans, members who incorporate an annual exam and cleaning into their dental routine are rewarded with an increasing level of dental benefits.
"For people whose employers don't provide dental coverage, it can be very difficult to find coverage on their own," said Joe Wilds, chairman and president for Regence Life and Health. "However, Regence's new individual dental benefits provide a solution for individuals and families seeking affordable and comprehensive coverage - because dental health is too important to leave to chance."

An automated tool that cares about your health
The application's main window is pretty compact, with three available countdown timers, for microbreaks, rest break and the total amount of time recommended to work. Whenever a timer reaches 0, an event is triggered, restricting access to anything except the info window brought up.
Take short and frequent breaks
Microbreaks are the most frequent encounters, as the name suggests. When the time comes, you are asked to relax for several seconds by a floating window that evades your mouse cursor every time you move it close.
Keep you blood flowing with exercises
A rest break occurs at longer time intervals. These mostly consist of interactive exercises that have you stretching your fingers, relaxing muscles, and a few more. A small animation is displayed to give you an example of how the exercise to be conducted, as well as explanatory text.
Know when enough is enough
When the daily amount of allowed time is up, you are asked to stop working immediately, or if the shift is not over yet to try and find something less stressful. Additionally, you can choose to shut down the computer from a provided button or ignore the message and continue working.
Configure time according to your schedule
The application gives you the possibility to set available time limits according to your schedule. This can be done from the preferences menu, where nearly any trigger and consequence is customizable. Moreover, you find that a rich language content makes this utility accessible to a large variety of nations.
In conclusion
To sum it up, Workrave Portable is a practical application that can keep you a little healthier while still properly doing your job. It can blend on any environment due to customizable timers and rich language content, also being able to stay hidden in the system tray until it considers it's time you need to rest.

At a meeting with senior leaders on Sunday, an RSS leader told them that the party should lose no more time in naming its prime ministerial candidate
Having made up its mind to back Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as the BJP's prime ministerial candidate for the 2014 general election, the RSS has stepped up its efforts to persuade senior BJP leaders to fall in line.
On Sunday night, Suresh (Bhaiyaji) Joshi, who is the RSS Sarkaryavah (general secretary), had a meeting with senior BJP leaders, including party patriarch L.K. Advani, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj and the former party president, Murli Manohar Joshi.
According to sources, Mr. Joshi is believed to have told the senior leaders that the BJP should lose no further time in naming Mr. Modi as its prime ministerial candidate.
Those opposed to the idea have been arguing for postponement of the decision till the Assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Delhi and Mizoram are over in the next few weeks. Barring Mizoram, the BJP has high stakes in the other States, two of which are ruled by the party. The party fancies its chances in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh on the personal charisma of Chief Ministers Shivraj Singh Chauhan and Raman Singh.
The BJP hopes to wrest Rajasthan from the Congress, cashing in on the "anti-incumbency" factor in the State and nationwide, as well as on the popularity of its chief ministerial candidate Vasundara Raje. BJP leaders concede that it is tough to win Delhi because of intense squabbling among State leaders. Making matters worse for the party is the popular image of Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit.
Those opposed to Mr. Modi believe that naming him as prime ministerial candidate at this juncture will enable him to claim credit for victory of the party in three of the four States.
Besides the pro-Modi camp began building up the case for his candidature on the premise that he was the only Chief Minister to have secured a third successive victory for the BJP. If the party returns to power in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, the claim of the Modi supporters will be punctured as he will have to compete with both Mr. Chauhan and Mr. Singh.
Of course, the political truth is all the arguments advanced by the critics of Mr. Modi have little to do with content, but only intent.
Sources say a determined RSS is not going to go back on its stand for immediate announcement of Mr. Modi's candidature by the BJP, and the current exercise is limited to mollifying the senior leaders.
In recent weeks, the pro-Modi camp in the BJP has been underscoring the need for early announcement of the prime ministerial candidate. On Saturday, Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley said the sooner the party announced its candidate, the better it would be for it.
This is the second time in over a week Mr. Jaitley, who has been at the forefront of the campaign for Mr. Modi, has not only pitched in for the Gujarat Chief Minister but has also said the party should avoid any "unnecessary controversy" over the issue. Speaking at a BJP forum here, Mr. Jaitley argued that any row would amount to the party committing a "hit-wicket" and turn out to be the only possible reason for it to lose the general election.
