Decor Pad: Real-life Inspiration for your Wall Galleries
Sometimes deciding where to display your photographs and family art heirlooms can be the most difficult decision in the process of family photography. Your photographer will be ready with expert suggestions but be sure to take time to think about which locations in your home are most important to you so that your family photographer can custom tailor wall galleries and displays for you.
One of my favorite places on the internet to scour ideas and inspiration is Decor Pad. Decor Pad has wonderful real-life examples of several different styles of wall galleries and frames that provide examples of ways to hang family art decor in your home.

Tips To Become A Good Golf Player
Is playing golf difficult? If you have never played golf, you might think that it is difficult. It is easy to see that compared to other sports, golf is a little bit less popular. So maybe because it is more difficult than other games. If you think so, I don't agree with you. However, even if you are a golf player, you still find that playing golf is difficult. There are a lot of reasonable reasons for it. But I think you should look at the way you play because blaming on the game. Maybe you play it wrong. So today I'm going to share with you some tips that may help you become a better golf player.
Choose the best golf GPS
It is not the most important thing in golf to choose the best golf GPS. But it is the first tip I want to tell you because I think that a golf GPS is a special gift that technology gives to all golf players. You really can play golf much better with a golf GPS because a golf GPS help you easily determine your distance as well as direction to the hole. With the information which a golf GPS provide you, you can make a better decision when playing golf. So try to choose the best golf GPS and you will see your improvement.
Proper alignment
When I deserve people play golf, I discover that there is a mistake that most golf players make. That is they don't align properly. Improper alignment will make it hard for you to play golf and day by day it will become a bad habit. When it has become a habit, fixing it is not easy. So pay attention to alignment when you play golf. You should access your target from right behind your ball to get the perspective of the entire hole. By doing this, you can aim exactly the place you wish the ball to go. And one thing you always have to remember to do before making your actual stance is to get the clubface set behind the ball. Then you align it at the target. It is critical and the basic tip. Don't forget if you want to become a better golf player.
Get the right club
We all know how important it is to choose the right club. But not many of us know what the right club is. I see that many amateurs depend on the length of the club to choose which club to use. The rule is shorter clubs are for shorter holes; longer clubs are for longer holes. I don't say the rule is wrong. It is right, but not enough. There are a lot more to consider when it comes to choosing the right club. Better players will take into consideration a lot of things such as sand, shot tendencies, hazards and so on. But one thing you should look at to choose the right club is the type of approach shot you are to follow.
Thank you for reading my article. Have a nice day and be better in golf everyday!

ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Professional (AMD 990FX) Motherboard Review
The Motherboard Continued
Moving away from the bottom of the board and up to the top, we can see our four DDR3 DIMM slots which support up to 32GB of RAM at 2100MHz DDR via overclocking. Also around here we get a good look at all the Gold caps that are present on the board. We've seen this for a while from ASRock now and the Gold caps look fantastic.
Also around here we've of course got our typical 24-Pin main ATX power connector present along with a pair of USB 3.0 headers. One can of course be used in conjunction with the included USB 3.0 connector.
Moving around to the last corner of the board, you can see our 8-Pin ATX power connector located in that typical position and looking around the CPU socket you can see as usual we've got a pretty clean setup. Like most companies these days, ASRock are also using the new fan holders which frees up the sides to help let the air move more.
Finally, we finish off with the I/O side of things and starting from the left, we've got two PS/2 connectors, clear CMOS button, optical and coaxial ports running off the Realtek ALC892 codec. Moving across again, we've got Gigabit networking via the Broadcom BCM57781 chip, four USB 2.0 ports, our Fatal1ty mouse port, two more USB 2.0 ports, Firewire, eSATA, another gigabit network port off the same Broadcom controller, two USB 3.0 ports running off the Etron EJ168A controller and six auxiliary ports running off the Realtek ALC892 codec again.

Over at our sister blog, Clickz, Zachary Rodgers has some inside information that the anticipated display advertising exchange from Google could launch as early as next week. Google would not confirm or deny the rumor. But, next week is Advertising Week in New York, making it the perfect time to launch the exchange.
The ad exchange will allow publishers and networks to offer up unused ad inventory to a pool where advertisers can bid for the space. The exchange has been developed within DoubleClick, which Google acquired over a year ago.
Right now, the ad exchange leader is Yahoo!'s Right Media Exchange, but Google could quickly take the lead in the marketplace. However, that won't happen as readily (or at all), if publishers are forced to use DoubleClick's Dart for Advertisers (DFA) platform.
What do you think of Google's forthcoming ad exchange? Let us know by leaving a comment.

The Third Wheel You May Spot with Local Seniors this Summer
New Bike Offers Mobility to Oak Parkers
|Share on Facebook
|Share on Twitter
It's hard to dispute that cycling in Oak Park has gained popularity. However, certain groups are missing out on this healthy, eco-friendly, exciting trend as a result of issues with balance and stability. For seniors, cycling is often seen as a beloved pastime, not as a means of independence, mobility and exercise.
Now that mentality can change with the new adult tricycle available to local seniors, an option that eliminates fears regarding stability and balance. The bike is available for rent at Greenline Wheels and is FREE for seniors for up to two hours per day. The lightweight cruiser style bike boasts a large cargo basket,
hand brakes, and mag wheels. The low central bar on the tricycle makes getting on and off easy.
Seniors aren't the only folks attracted to the comfortable posture and large carrying capacity! Within an hour of arriving at Greenline Wheels an eager young tourist from Texas rented the trike.
For those under 65 years old, rental costs just $8 an hour or $30 for a full day (same as all other adult bikes). As always, bike rental includes a helmet and a lock. Reservations are not required but are highly recommended given the popularity of the bike. Please reserve the bicycle online at www.GreenlineWheels.comor by phone, 708-725-7170.

Marc Andreessen famously stated in 2011 that "software is eating the world". The world runs on software defined businesses. These businesses realize that in order to be efficient and stay ahead of the competition they must innovate or they will die. Technology is no longer secondary to your business, but is now the actual business.
Nowadays there is an app for nearly everything and consumers have the expectation most processes are automated. Access to these apps is ubiquitously available — from the web and mobile. Every disruptive billion dollar company in the last decade has innovated through applications by fundamentally changing the market and user experience. Companies like Netflix, Uber, Square, Tesla, Nest, Instacart, and many others have capitalized on this new user experience and catering to their elevated expectations. The disruption stems from an improved user experience, and enabled through technology.
The evolution of application complexity
Gone are the days where applications were this simple:
The reality nowadays is applications are extremely complex and distributed using several platforms. Most application architecture we come across utilize several languages such as Java, .NET, PHP, and Node.js. Operations becomes even more complex with virtualization and cloud environments, deploying to containers, and managing application made up of many microservices.
It is not DevOps, it's the next generation of Ops
Most people and companies abuse the term DevOps to no end. It is a bit embarrassing, but buzzwords flow rampant on an expo floor of a technology convention. The reality is quite simply that the operations tools engineers use to build and manage complex applications have evolved to match the complexity. I believe the operations complexity breaks down into a few main categories: infrastructure automation, configuration management, deployment automation, log management, performance management, and monitoring.
The evolution of the Ops problem
The modern operations reality is that the cloud is the standard platform, operations are automated through code, testing and quality assurance are automated through code, deployments are automated through code, and monitoring and instrumentation is critical to success.
The DevOps Report from Puppet Labs surveyed the DevOps community and found some interesting results, most notably: "companies with high-performing IT organizations are twice as likely to exceed their profitability, market share and productivity goals."
The report also found successful DevOps teams tended to share these characteristics:
- use continuous delivery to ensure consistent and stable deployments
- leverage version control not just for code, but infrastructure and configuration to track and manage all environments states
- automate testing to have confidence about the quality of every release
- invest in monitoring and logging to be proactive about problems
- correlate IT performance with organizational performance
Download the entire report from Puppet Labs
The enterprise catch up game
Most enterprises are not able to adopt cutting edge technology at a rapid pace so they are in a constant state of migration and catching up. Furthermore, their challenges are exacerbated when dealing with hybrid environments consisting of on-premise legacy systems combined with new public and private cloud environments. Larger, less flexible, legacy companies are just starting to invest in the latest generation of programming languages such as Scala, Node.js, and Go and nosql datastores like Cassandra and Redis.
Though enterprises may experience the challenges adapting to the latest operations trends, there are several tools out there which will help ease the transition. A good APM solution helps foster DevOps best practices and increase collaboration between the traditionally separated Dev and Ops teams.

The essence of data analysis involves setting up data pipelines that consist of several operations that are chained together – starting from data collection, data quality checks, data integration, data analysis and data visualization (including the setting up of interaction paths in that visualization). In our opinion, the challenges stem from the technology diversity at each stage of the data pipeline as well as the lack of process around the analysis.

When it comes to IoT in the enterprise, namely the commercial building and hospitality markets, a benefit not getting the attention it deserves is energy efficiency, and IoT's direct impact on a cleaner, greener environment when installed in smart buildings. Until now clean technology was offered piecemeal and led with point solutions that require significant systems integration to orchestrate and deploy. There didn't exist a 'top down' approach that can manage and monitor the way a Smart Buildi...

Pantone HueyPRO Advanced Colour Correction kit
4.0 stars
Easy to use, works out ambient light in office
Not much
So you work a lot with photos then, and you want to be able to make sure that you have consistency between images and print? Well you need to get a monitor calibration device then, and Pantone thinks it has the answer with its HueyPro Advanced Color (yes with no u) Correction kit. So does it work? We get calibrating to find out.
Monitor calibration may sound dull, but if you use a laptop or print lots of digital photos making sure your screen is correctly calibrated is likely to save you a lot of time printing out or publishing poor coloured prints or images.
The hueyPRO is about the size of a marker pen and is designed for photographers and creative professionals to improve colour clarity and consistency across multiple CRT, laptop and LCD displays.
Installation is a simple process and like a Gordon Ramsay recipe it's a case of clean screen, install software, stick calibration device to screen, press buttons, remove calibration device from screen, done.
In fact it's so easy that we were rather surprised when it had finished so quickly.
For those more technically minded, the calibration works by assessing the light levels in the room you are working and then relaying this to the software. It doesn't affect the brightness of your screen in any way - although within the software there is an option to have the room lighting compensation on or off. Basically it adjusts your display to be suitable to the ambient light level in the room.
Once your screen is calibrated you can see what it was like before to make sure you are happy with the new results, and we presume, to show you the improved difference the software has made.
You know how when you correct an image on the screen and then print it out it looks nothing like it should be, well this little accessory aims to stop that and as far as calibrating our screen, the HueyPRO does a really good job.
Simple to use, the device takes all the fuss out of getting your screen calibration right. Better still making sure it always stays that way - the device will remind you every two weeks so you can do another calibration incase anything (like the weather) has changed.
Good, just not for everyone.

How to feed with a sheild
Started by -river- , Nov 18 2012 10:10 PM
5 replies to this topic
Posted 18 November 2012 - 10:10 PM
I'm currently expressing but still attempting to get a tach right and possibly brèastfeed. I have never tried the shields but I have been given a sheild to try.
I'm having some issues.. The sheild slips and won't stay put, my baby grabs it or knocks it and it moves out of place, if I manage to eat him on my nipple still pinches and my baby bites down on thevsèild.
Any tips?
Posted 18 November 2012 - 10:20 PM
What type of shield are you using? I found some of the cheaper brands wouldn't stay put. Try the Medela ones. I found them to be the best- a bit more lifelike.
In order to make them stick, use a bit of breast milk or water and rub it on the inside and stretch the shields over your breast/ nipple so you get a good seal. That way it will be harder for your baby to knock it loose.
Good luck.
Posted 18 November 2012 - 10:23 PM
Hi there, I'd suggest you see a LC asap so she can watch a feed and help you with a nipple shield or give any other help that she can.
All the best.
Posted 18 November 2012 - 10:34 PM
I used a shield because I had flattish nipples so what worked for me may not work for you. I would express a little milk into the shield ( i used medela) then position it over my nipple making sure the hole was up the top where DS's nose was going to be then I squeezed the nipple bit on the shield to get my nipple to go into the shield a bit and at the same time expressed a bit more milk. The milk made the shield stick. I cupped my boob from underneath and held my fingers like a V at the edges of the shield so I could lift my boob up to his mouth( I also have big boobs). The milk in the end made my DS less impatient while I adjusted.
When I first started using the shields I just stuck them on using waterproof dressing tape or a bandaid ( with my LCs blessing) a tip if you are going to do that is to choose where you will stick them and then put a bit of tape on your boob and then only stick the shield to that bit of tape rather than flesh otherwise the constant irritation can leave scares I learned this using a supplementary nursing system, I wish I had learned it earlier.
Posted 18 November 2012 - 10:40 PM
Wrap the baby up tightly before you start, with hands tight against his side so he can't knock the shield off. This was one of our biggest problems in the beginning.
If the baby is 'biting down,' there's still a big problem, and like Lucky2 said, you need a MCHN or LC to help you.
There should be a bit of air between the end of your nipple and the end of the shield. If there's not, the size might be too small. Apparently Medela Large work for lots of people.
and you need to thrust the shield quite far back down the baby's mouth - wait until he opens up wide and shove it in! Get some help - shields can really make a difference.
Posted 20 November 2012 - 12:28 PM
I use the avent shields which are shaped a little differently to the Medela ones, but I also to the v-shape with my middle and index fingers to hold the shield in place while DD latches on. I also found a few drops of milk on the sides of the shield help it stick.
Im assuming that your baby is very little so you might find a breastfeeding pillow useful, I did with DD1. The pillow helped lift her to the right height, so I could have two hands to get her attached. Or even try feeding lying down, so baby is supported near your breast and you can concentrate on getting and keeping the shielding place? Once she was bigger and stronger the whole process got a lot easier.
DD2 is five months now, so lots of swiping at the sheild, knocking it off etc. Ill often leave her wrapped for the feed which can help with the distractions. I agree that having an LC watch you feed would be best. Good Luck

Construction workers seeking gravel for a project decided to take it from one place where it was easy to get - a 2,300 year old Mayan pyramid. The workers destroyed the ancient monument beyond any hope of repair.
Thanks for all the gravel, Mayans!
BELMOPAN, BELIZE (Catholic Online) - The pyramid was one of the largest in all Belize until workers managed to destroy it with bulldozers, seeking gravel for a nearby road project. Now, the 100ft pyramid is filling for a local road.
The pyramid was part of the Nohmul complex, which itself is one of the most important archaeological sites in all Belize, in is a major archaeological site by all standards. Archaeologists are horrified at the destruction, which was performed without any regard for the sacred nature of the structure or its historical and cultural significance.
The damage is so complete, there is no possible way it can be restored.
Workers destroyed the entire pyramid with bulldozers, simply tearing down and hauling away chunks of the pyramid at a time. The chunks were reduced to gravel to become road fill.
The pyramid happened to be situated on private land, so the government had no direct control over the monument, however destruction of such artifacts are forbidden by law. The owner of the errant construction company says he was unaware of what was happening.
Archaeologists say it is impossible for workers to have mistaken the pyramid for anything other than what it was. The outline of limestone blocks is clearly visible in the construction.
What undoubtedly took Mayan workers years to construct by hand, modern workers demolished in days with backhoes and bulldozers.
Apparently, this is a problem in the region as workers sometimes choose to demolish ancient sites for building material rather than quarrying the material from a raw site. Basically, they are using the Mayan ruins because the work of digging is already done for them. As Jamie Awe, the head of the Belize Institute of Archaeology put it, "It's just bloody laziness."

New Drug for the Treatment of Parkinson's Psychosis
As a former FDA employee in the Center of New Drugs and a primary caretaker for a love one with Parkinson, the above news attracted my attention. The new drug is Nuplazid or Pimavanserin manufactured by Acadia Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Pimavanserin was approved by the FDA just recently specifically for the treatment of Parkinson's disease psychosis.
It works in a different way than other antipsychotics: it does not block dopamine. It is a selective serotonin inverse agonist, meaning it targets serotonin receptors. This makes it a safer choice when treating people with PD that are experiencing psychoses, because it can reduce hallucinations without affecting motor performance.
NUPLAZID™ (pimavanserin) is the first and only medication approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of hallucinations and delusions associated with Parkinson's disease psychosis.
According to the National Parkinson Foundation, about one million people in the United States and from four to six million people worldwide suffer from Parkinson's disease. An estimated 40 percent of these patients have Parkinson's disease psychosis, a debilitating condition that is characterized by hallucinations and delusions, is associated with significant caregiver burden, and is a major reason for nursing home placement among Parkinson's patients.
The following information is from the insert published by Acadia Pharmaceuticals, Inc.:
Important Safety Information and Indication for NUPLAZID™ (pimavanserin) tablets
Elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis treated with antipsychotic drugs are at an increased risk of death. NUPLAZID is not approved for the treatment of patients with dementia-related psychosis unrelated to the hallucinations and delusions associated with Parkinson's disease psychosis.
NUPLAZID is an atypical antipsychotic indicated for the treatment of hallucinations and delusions associated with Parkinson's disease psychosis.
QT Interval Prolongation: NUPLAZID prolongs the QT interval. The use of NUPLAZID should be avoided in patients with known QT prolongation or in combination with other drugs known to prolong QT interval including Class 1A antiarrhythmics or Class 3 antiarrhythmics, certain antipsychotic medications, and certain antibiotics. NUPLAZID should also be avoided in patients with a history of cardiac arrhythmias, as well as other circumstances that may increase the risk of the occurrence of torsade de pointes and/or sudden death, including symptomatic bradycardia, hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia, and presence of congenital prolongation of the QT interval.
Adverse Reactions: The most common adverse reactions (≥2% for NUPLAZID and greater than placebo) were peripheral edema (7% vs 2%), nausea (7% vs 4%), confusional state (6% vs 3%), hallucination (5% vs 3%), constipation (4% vs 3%), and gait disturbance (2% vs <1%). Drug Interactions: Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (eg, ketoconazole) increase NUPLAZID concentrations. Reduce the NUPLAZID dose by one-half. Strong CYP3A4 inducers may reduce NUPLAZID exposure, monitor for reduced efficacy. Increase in NUPLAZID dosage may be needed. Renal Impairment: No dosage adjustment for NUPLAZID is needed in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment. Use of NUPLAZID is not recommended in patients with severe renal impairment. Hepatic Impairment: Use of NUPLAZID is not recommended in patients with hepatic impairment. NUPLAZID has not been evaluated in this patient population. Pediatric Use: Safety and efficacy have not been established in pediatric patients. Dosage and Administration: Recommended dose: 34 mg per day, taken orally as two 17 mg tablets once daily, without titration. For details on the balancing act of treatment between motor symptoms and psychosis read the following: http://www.parkinson.org/understanding-parkinsons/non-motor-symptoms/Psychosis/What-are-the-Treatment-Options-for-Psychosis

A Red Crape Myrtle Tree for My Yard
The Dynamite Red Crape Myrtle that blooms light red the first year and then get deeper each year.
For the last 4 weeks, I had been searching for a flowering shade tree to replace the maple tree that died in my front yard this year. After reading the Internet and talking to the neighbors, I decided to buy a crape myrtle which blooms during summer to late Fall.
I purchased a 15-gal tree that is about 6 ft tall from our local Lowe's Nursery. I paid $69.99. I have my gardener picked it up in his truck. He planted the tree immediately and charged me another $100.
According to the Nursery brochure this variety is pest and disease resistant as well as highly drought tolerant. It will bloom during summer and last until late Fall. The mature height varies from 20 to 25 ft and the mature width from 10 to 20 ft. The botanical name is lagerstroemia indica. For more information on flowering shade trees see:

Windows 7 versus 10
Last week, my son wanted me to try Windows 10. Currently, I am happy with my Windows 7. I tried Windows 10 just for a few hours now. I notice the resolution and speed is better. However, I am not sure if I really need to upgrade since I am not into Gaming. So I did some search on Windows 10 differences with Window 7 and here's what I found in the Web. It is a very informative article. I like to hear from you if you have similar experiences as discussed in the more than 700 comments in the article as follows:
Here's the conclusion from the above article:
There's nothing wrong with sticking with Windows 7, but upgrading to Windows 10 definitely has plenty of benefits, and not too many downsides. Of course the fact that it's a free upgrade right now makes it even more tempting.
Windows 10 has a lot of genuinely useful new features, as well as key improvements to old features, compared to Windows 7. None is enough on its own to make an upgrade necessary, but when combined they do make a compelling case.
You've got better search, window management, file management, gaming tools and more. Windows 10 is faster in general use, too, and the new Start Menu is in some ways better than the one in Windows 7.
The only real sticking point is that Microsoft wants you to sign in with a Microsoft account and if you choose not to you lose some features. Features that shouldn't need to be linked to any online account. You certainly can get away with a normal 'offline' version but Microsoft really doesn't want you to, and that's something we're not keen on.

Better Late than Never-Games of Thrones
Last week, I posted my addiction for the TV drama, Outlander which is in its 2nd season currently. Last week, I started watching Game of Thrones which premiered in 2011 and now in its 6th season. For the last couple of years I have read and heard that Games of Thrones is one of the most entertaining, widely acclaimed and awarded TV drama series that had been created, but sadly I never had the time to watch it.
Last week I started watching Season 1 and for the last 7 days I had been watching the series. Today, I am now in Season 5. I am now hooked to the series and I am not disappointed. I would agree with the critics acclaims of this HBO TV drama regarding the story scope, acting, complex characters, production and entertaining values. If you have not heard or read about Games of Thrones, here's a summary from Wikipedia.
"Game of Thrones is an American fantasy drama television series created by show runners David Benioff and D. B. Weiss. It is an adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire, George R. R. Martin's series of fantasy novels, the first of which is titled A Game of Thrones. It is filmed in a Belfast studio and on location elsewhere in Croatia, Iceland, Malta, Morocco, Northern Ireland, Spain, Scotland, and the United States, and premiered on HBO in the United States on April 17, 2011. The sixth season of the series premiered on April 24, 2016, and the series has also been renewed for a seventh season to air in 2017.
The series is set on the fictional continents of Westeros and Essos and interweaves several plot lines with a large ensemble cast. The first narrative arc follows a civil war among several noble houses for the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms; the second covers the attempts to reclaim the throne by the exiled last scion of the realm's deposed ruling dynasty; the third chronicles the rising threat of the impending winter and the legendary creatures and fierce peoples of the North.
Game of Thrones has attracted record numbers of viewers on HBO and attained an exceptionally broad and active international fan base. It has received widespread acclaim by critics, particularly for its acting, complex characters, story, scope, and production values, although its frequent use of nudity, violence, and sexual violence has attracted criticism. The series has won 26 Prime time Emmy Awards, including the Prime time Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series in 2015—when it set a record for most wins for a series in a single year—and numerous other awards and nominations, including three Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, a Peabody Award, and three Golden Globe Award nominations. From among the ensemble cast, Peter Dinklage won two Emmy Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series and a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor – Series, Miniseries or Television Film for his performance as Tyrion Lannister.

I am Hooked to the TV Drama-Outlander
I watched TV for only about 3 hours per day. I rarely watched TV soap operas or drama series except for The Tyrant last year and My Husband's Lover( A Pinoy Soap Opera)about two years ago. This year I got addicted to a British-American drama, Outlander. It is now in its Season 2, Episode 5. I missed Season 1 but I was able to watch the whole 16 episodes in My PC for three days in between my duties as a primary care giver of a Parkinson Disease affected loved one.
Season 2 will have 13 episodes that I am looking forward to enjoy. Each episode is only about 1 hour without a commercial.
Outlander is a British-American television drama series based on the historical time travel Outlander series of novels by Diana Gabaldon. Developed by Ronald D. Moore and produced by Sony Pictures Television and Left Bank Pictures for Starz, the show premiered on August 9, 2014. It stars Caitriona Balfe as Claire Randall, a married World War II nurse in 1945 who finds herself transported back to Scotland in 1743, where she encounters the dashing Highland warrior Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) and becomes embroiled in the Jacobite risings. As of April 30, 2016, 20 episodes of Outlander have aired.

I wish all the ornaments could have a choice of hair color. My children are blonde and my son-in-law has black hair. That would be outstanding. Jan A."
