Why Is my eye lid sagging? I'm only 42 (photo)

Why Is my eye lid sagging? I'm only 42 (photo)
In the vast majority of people the right side of their face is at least a little smaller than the left side. This stems from the actual skull being smaller on the right side. In some people the assymmetry is a little more than in others. In your case your right brow sags more than on the left side, and this may contribute to the excess skin on your right upper lid compared to the left. The treatment is very simple, requiring an upper lid blepharoplasty, which is simply excising the extra skin in the right upper eyelid to match the left. This can be done under local anesthesia. Sutures are removed in five days, and you may have some bruising, but it should be gone in a week or so. This would be the simplest solution to your problem. I hope this answer has helped you, and best of luck to you.
Aging effects different people differently
There is no answer to why it happened to you? It just happens. However surgery will fix it. Consult with a plastic surgeon and learn your options.
Sag is natural in eyelids with time
Saggy skin of the eyelids can occur at most any age but generally is associated with being somewhat older. Many in their 40s have excess eye lid skin. Surgery can easily correct this. My Best, Dr Commons

Eyelid droop
It appears that you have ptosis (droop) affecting both eyes, but it is best assessed in the office. You would likely benefit from an eyelid procedure correcting the ptosis as well as removing the excess skin. I would see a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area who is comfortable treating this problem.
Not at all the best picture.
You are looking down into the camera so it is impossible to know what you look like looking straight ahead. That is really how we judge. You look like you have upper eyelid ptosis and excess upper eyelid skin. Please see a fellowship trained oculoplastic surgeon in your area.

Drooping Eyelids
Your photo is taken in downgaze with the left eyebrow elevated - it appears that both sides have drooping issues. The right upper lid fold seems more redundant because the right brow (right side of frontalis muscle) is relaxed. The left brow is elevated - perhaps because of ptosis, but this is difficult to assess in one position of gaze. In primary gaze (straight ahead) with the forehead/ frontalis muscle relaxed, the brows may appear even lower than it this downgaze photo. Facial and periocular anatomy and overall appearance is affected by age, heredity, trauma, and other factors. So at the young age of 42, your drooping is not unusual. An Oculoplastic surgeon can help you with diagnosis, discussion of the many options available, and treatment. Best wishes!
Eyelid sagging
Thanks for your post. Believe it or not, sagging skin above the upper eyelids is an issue that commonly affects women in their forties. While an in-office exam is necessary to truly assess what is going on, you definitely have some redundant skin (dermatochalasis) affecting your upper eyelids, with the right worse than the left. Your eyebrows are also somewhat asymmetric. There are a variety of potential treatments including Botox injections and forehead and upper eyelid surgery. I would start by consulting with an experienced facial plastic or oculoplastic surgeon who regularly addresses these issues. Good luck!

Ptosis and Dermatochalasis
Thank you for sharing your question and photos. You appear to have ptosis (drooping eyelid) and dermatochalasis (extra skin) of the upper eyelids. Both problems can be corrected by an experienced Oculoplastic Surgeon. Make an appointment for detailed evaluation and guidance.
Good luck,
Good luck,

One eyelid sagging
You have a tendency to pull up one of your eyebrows with your forehead muscles, but not the other. The side with the lower eyebrow has a droopier looking eyelid.
Improving the symmetry between your eyes would likely involve using botox to make the eyebrows more symmetric and removing skin from the upper eyelids to reduce the sagging look. A second option would be to just remove some skin from the side with the lower eyebrow.

Enter the village's small temple, hoping for the protection of holy ground against the cursed werewolves.
He had killed Changelings before, or Werewolves, or Lycanthropes, or Children of the Moon, or whatever their moniker be from township to township. He had killed several varying types of beasts over his distinguished career -- including an array of Therienthropics and turnskins such as the Werewolves currently hot on his scent. Killing one is difficult, killing two a rarity.
But a pack?
With a pack it was time to run.
His scent would have been easy enough to follow as he entered the township proper, a deserted version of Main Street. The Ranger was doused with sweat as he passed the first darkened building, and it was likely that it wouldn't take a bloodhound to follow his reeking stench through the streets.
Also fear. There were rumors of questionable veracity that Lycanthropes preferred to hunt the scent of fear because it was powerful enough to stimulate their taste buds, thus making each kill a delicacy. The Ranger wished no part in tonight's menu, but truthfully he was frightened beyond belief.
He pressed harder, pushing way beyond his limits as he chugged through the deserted downtown area. His feet grew heavier from exhaustion, a thought he banished from his mind as he set his sights on his only refuge from the pack.
The small, round church sat like a squat bug just beyond the town square, it's front door open and candlelight spilling softly from inside. The Ranger's heart beat hard enough within his chest to split his breastplate, but still he ran.
Numerous cracking noises behind him. The pack had cleared the forest's edge and was now charging hard through the broken tree line just at the town's perimeter. He did the calculations in his head and estimated them to be only fifty paces behind him.
A twenty second head start, maybe less. He looked longingly at the scintillatingly close front door of the church and knew he would be unable to make the refuge of the Holy Threshold. His heart continued thrumming painfully against his breast plate.
His armor! Of course! It weighed him down, possibly enough to keep him from salvation. He pulled his bulky plates over his head in a single, smooth motion as he ran, then kicked off his boots for good measure and put his head down and ran unencumbered. He might just make it after all.
There was a terrible scrabbling just behind him but the Ranger wasted no time by looking back; he needed not the sight of of those cursed jaws closing in on him to entice his feet to greater haste, he was well aware of the consequences of coming up short of his destination, no matter his proximity to safety.
He was about to crest the first of the three steps leading up to the front door when movement just beyond the doorway caught his eye. He leaped with the last of his strength only to collide with a fat, robed acolyte just at the entrance. They fell in a heap and skidded to a stop at the backmost pew.
The Ranger was too out of breath to explain and the priest looked up at him with an extremely cross scowl, "What the devil is going on here?!"
The Ranger caught his breath enough to choke out, "The Devil is going on out there, Father!"
Together, they rolled over to face the shaggy, frothing predator that stood on hind legs at the door. The air behind it was filled with fur as well. The first Lycanthrope was gray in color, with big black ears that rotated sharply in search of sonic feedback. Its nostrils flared and its massive chest heaved from the run, but its eyes remained focused on the Ranger, almost merrily.
"What have you done, man?" the priest whispered.
The Ranger got to his knees and said, "This is holy ground, yes?"
"Of course it is!"
"Then we'll be safe inside these walls, Father. Take my word."
"I think you're thinking of Vampyres, lad. Werewolves are not Forsaken by God!"
And if to prove the fat acolyte correct, the first Changechild boldly stepped through the entrance to the church, salivating wildly in victory.

removing old letters
Just bought a new (to us) boat and want to change the name. Any suggestions on how to remove the old, stick-on vinyl letters?
Try a hair dryer to loosen the glue. Then peel them up. There will probably be shadows from the stickers once the vinyl is up. You can try a mild adhesive remover like Goo Gone. And some hull polishes will also take it off.
Ahoy Julie
:rolleyes: Well you can use a heat gun to soften the adhesive and then scrape the letters off. Then follow up with 3M decal remover. This method works good. The decal remover will take off the rest of the glue left behind.
Now for the bad news. Depending on how long the letters have been on your boat, there will be shadow from the old letters. The older the decals the more it will show. In some cases you can even feel a bump where the letters were. If you have an old boat it will probably have quite a bit of gelcoat on it. You can try using a buffer with compound to try to get it out. If that isn't working try, wet sanding with 600 grit, and then go back to the buffing compound.
By this time you are a whooped puppy and ready for a beer or some other adult beverage. Now when you go back you might still see a very faint outline of the letters but they will fade with time. Your boat will look great from 10 yards.
Fair winds
Cap'n Dave
Easy-Off oven cleaner will take most lettering off without damaging the gelcoat beneath. However, if the boat is painted it might damage the paint... so YMMV.
Be careful if you go the heat gun route, since the heat gun can be hot enough to damage the laminate if you're not careful.
I just did mine about a week ago. I think a lot depends on how long the letters have been on the boat. I came prepared with a hair dryer and also windex. I had heard that window cleaner does a nice job prepping vinyl graphics for removal. It turns out I just used a partially dulled razor blade on the very edge of the graphic and was able to peel it off without the aid of anything special. My boat is a '99 so maybe I was just lucky that it wasn't a '75 or something. Nothing special, just strong fingertips :D
The lettering on my boat was painted and it came off nicely with Easy-off. After removing the letters, I found that the gelcoat had been oxidized away around the letters, leaving an image of the letters in raised relief. I suspect that the same thing can happen with vinyl graphics.
My solution was to block sand the area with 600 grit wet sandpaper and then polish the whole transom with 3M fiberglass restorer. It worked well.

Greetings guys,
So I got this awesome game "The Last of Us" and it's stunningly beautiful! but as usual I forgot that I'm dealing with a Sony game and it has region restrictions. I have an online passcode for European account, but my account is US. I'm hoping to make a deal with someone of you guys who's reading this to exchange codes if he got slightly the same problem "US Disk - EU account" Also please let me know if you must have both Disk, Code, and Account to be on the same region.
Please guys, I need a reply :/


text: Let the tear down begin on the waterfront as the curtain has been drawn on the 2009 American Folk Festival. Festival Director Heather Mccarthy says this year's event was a mixed bag. "It was highs and lows," says Mccarthy, "had a couple of highs on Friday, and Sunday, but Saturday with the weather and the audience, boy Saturday was kind of a low as far as the weather goes."Even with the soggy weather Saturday, organizers say donations were still strong. "Bucket brigade was incredibly generous," says Mccarthy, "and we made over $100,000 this year in the bucket brigade despite the fact that Saturday was such a wash out. it's really amazing." Considering the weather Saturday, they did raise quite a bit, but is that enough to keep the event free next year? "We're going to have to count the numbers and see what it looks like for next year," Mccarthy says, "it's going to be a discussion with our board of directors and some of our stake holders to see what happens next."The one thing that makes this event run so smoothly every year is the tireless work of the volunteers, but what keeps them coming back? "Well it's the fact that it's free and open to the public," says Linda Silvia, who came all the way from Owls Head, "and the community and cultural parts of it are really great."Jack Kearse is the volunteer leader and he's been here every year. "It's just great people," he says, "it's a lot of fun and we enjoy the work."A big part of Kearse's team of volunteers is a group of inmates from the Charleston Correctional Facility. Anthony Murphy is one of the inmates. He has one year left on his sentence and he relishes the chance to give back. "If it's anyway to give back to the community then I'm there for them," Murphy says. Leo Gerry is the Correctional Officer assigned to this detail. He says he has never had a problem with any of the inmates and tells me this is a prized detail for them. "They work as a team away from the facility," Gerry says, "for a short period of time they can get rid of the games and politics of being incarcerated."Now that this year's festival is in the books most of the volunteers here say the same thing: see you next year.

Sweetwater Advice
Customer Reviews
Just What I Needed
For field recording - chamber music, theater, etc, it works great as an alternative to laptop + interface, or as a backup device. Clean, quiet, smooth sound, easy operation.
It's really only a 6-track recorder...
I love this recorder. In the field it's a real problem solver. The pre's are clean and the features are great, though sometimes a little tricky to figure out; even with the manual. That being said, let me address the 2 digital channels. They are theoretically usable as discrete 7th and 8th channels. But you must have an external preamp with A/D conversion in order to make that happen. And in my experience, many preamps (like the Audient Mico) simply do not work with the Tascam. And though I have managed to make simple 2-channel stereo recordings through the Tascam's SPDIF input, I have never succeeded in making an 8-channel recording. Invariably I receive a "DIN UNLOCK" message telling me the SPDIF isn't working. Also know that the SPDIF input only accepts a 44.1/16 bit stream, so you're going to have to dumb down your audio if you're coming from another converter.
So: this is really a 6-channel recorder. You should know that before you buy!
Excellent for the Price!!!
I've owned and have been using this unit for about 6 months now. It is extremely easy to use, and the number of inputs for the price you pay is unmatched!
The preamps are clean, my Sanken COS 11D and Sennheiser MKH416 sound great through it!
The menus are easy to navigate, the display is fairly easy to read and tells you everything you need to know.
There are only two downsides I can see that hold it back: No timecode in/out, and its power options.
Thus far, not having timecode hasn't been a big issue for me, though sometimes it would have been nice.
Eight AA batteries for 5hrs runtime is absolutely ridiculous, instead I bought a Goal Zero Sherpa 120 portable power supply (which outputs 12V DC) and spliced power into the Tascam. Works flawlessly for about 2 full production days!
If you don't absolutely need Timecode, BUY THIS UNIT!
Solid and simple to use
I use this machine with Schoeps, Neumann, DPA and Royer mics along with a Sound Devices USBPre2 to enable 8 channels of mics. In short, brilliant! The onboard pres and A/D is first-class. The only weak link is the SD card-- I use only SanDisk and Lexar after another brand developed a bad sector and I lost a few seconds of a concert. With a few small improvements this could be a Nagra VI killer. It already wins the cost war-- quite handily.
A Good Location Multitracker with Limitations
Can't comment on the mic pres because I come in from an external board, but the A/Ds sound very good to my ears. Biggest drawback for anyone who wants to capture at high fs and bit depth but with repurpose option for Red Book CD is the lack of 88.2 kHz sampling rate. This is a HUGE oversight in my opinion.

Hi I would like to know if any parents have short sighted kids with glasses who play contact sports? What are the ways that you all know of that can minimize spectacles falling off and breaking. My son has recently joined floor ball and had his spectacles knocked off and out of shape a couple of times. By the way he has extremely high myopia so contact lenses are out of question.
Thanks to anyone who can give advice.

Business and the Law; Suing Japanese In Patent Cases
By Barnaby J. Feder
Published: September 12, 1991
BARRING an 11th-hour settlement, the latest in a series of bitter patent-infringement battles pitting American companies against Japanese manufacturers accused of stealing valuable inventions will move into court next week.
Honeywell Inc., the plaintiff in the current case, contends that it owns the technology used to focus the most popular 35-millimeter cameras automatically. It will be asking a Federal jury in Newark to award it tens of millions of dollars in lost royalties -- and more than $500 million in punitive damages -- from the Minolta Camera Company.
Honeywell is prepared to file similar suits against 13 other Japanese camera makers if it wins the suit, including Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Olympus and Yashica, according to Christopher J. Steffen, chief financial and administrative officer of the Minneapolis-based company.
Honeywell is hoping to follow in the footsteps of Texas Instruments and Wang Laboratories Inc. Texas Instruments, which successfully sued Japanese computer makers and Samsung of South Korea, to enforce its basic patent on integrated circuits in 1986, has earned hundreds of millions of dollars in royalties since then.
Last month, a jury in a Federal district court in Virginia concluded that the NEC Corporation, the Toshiba Corporation and their American subsidiaries had infringed Wang's patent on technology for mounting rows of memory chips in packages that can be easily mounted on the printed circuit boards used in personal computers.
Wang has been awarded more than $4 million in damages and an injunction against further infringement that has been stayed while the Japanese companies appeal the case. Wang expects to sign royalty agreements with the Japanese companies and 14 other computer makers.
Honeywell says that its long-running battle with the Japanese camera manufacturers underscores the need for American trade negotiators to take a tough line in defense of intellectual property in the current negotiations to liberalize the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, the international trade agreement. The International Trade Commission has estimated that theft of intellectual property costs American companies up to $60 billion annually.
Some of the "theft" is a matter of public policy. Many developing countries, for example, refuse to recognize patents on products like drugs. Honeywell's case deals with a murkier area where the reach of patents is unclear.
Honeywell's claims against Minolta are based on work the company did during the late 1960's and early 1970's, when it made and marketed numerous photographic products. Its automatic focusing system and methods for using it were shared with Minolta and other Japanese companies under standard disclosure agreements intended to encourage the manufacturers to design their new products around Honeywell's technology.
Honeywell's suit asserts that Minolta's engineers used the Honeywell information to design their own automatic focusing system to avoid paying royalties. That, Honeywell says, amounts to a breach of contract.
Honeywell also argues that its patents cover automatic focusing so broadly that Minolta and its rivals could not design around them. Thus, Honeywell contends, its patents cover the focusing system in the Maxxum camera that Minolta introduced in 1985 and in follow-up products.
Minolta has denied the charges but refuses to discuss the case. William W. Robertson, a lawyer in Roseland, N.J., who is representing the Japanese company, said that Judge Alfred Wolin had clamped such tight restrictions on discussion of the case that Minolta was barred from making available documents like the 1985 press releases announcing the introduction of the Maxxum.
The lawsuit was filed in 1987. By June of last year, Honeywell, accusing Minolta of a blatant attempt to delay resolution of the dispute, asked the International Trade Commission for relief. Honeywell feared that once its patents began to expire in 1992, the threat that imports would be banned would fade, reducing Minolta's incentive to settle.
Honeywell's petition was one of the first to ask the commission to protect the intellectual property of an American company that did not manufacture the product covered by the patent. Honeywell argued that under 1988 amendments to the tariff law, the commission could bar the import of products that infringed the patents of companies that had made large investments to develop a technology or a significant effort to license it.
Minolta moved to block the end run around the trial court to the commission. On June 25, Honeywell dropped what would have been an important test of the reach of the tariff amendments after Judge Wolin promised to start the trial this month.

Tree of Heaven
€ 18,49
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
Mai 1995
BeschreibungThis second book by James McKean displays a large, dignified, and precise talent - McKean is always looking and reaching out to the difficult world, pulling it to him for examination. Although beginning with outward themes of travels and crossings, Tree of Heaven circles in the end to the journeys of the inner life: the struggle to understand, the ability to see, to suffer the trials of illness and death, to survive love and longing, learning when to leave things as they are, when to let go. McKean's accomplished voice is quiet but firm, at times full of wonder, exploring the personal and discovering what salvation there is in rhythm and words.

Just attended a wedding and reception at the Windwood Equestrian Center. Had no idea this venue was even here!! It is well-hidden, very secure, quiet, calm, and relaxing. The area is lovely.

We got married at Windwood Equestrian a few weeks ago and our experience with Mo from beginning to end was wonderful! The venue is absolutely beautiful and was just the perfect backdrop for what our guests say was the "perfect wedding!"
Choosing to have our reception at Windwood was the easiest and best decision we made during our wedding planning process! William, Arden, and the entire Windwood staff were amazing to work with and they did everything possible to make our reception a dream.

BEAUTIFUL grounds and venue. Lovely place for a wedding or reception. Meticulously maintained area of Pelham.
What a stunning place to have a wedding. The grounds are beautiful, rolling hills with beautiful maintains fences, stables and event space. The reception area at the main stable is one out of fairytales. Beautiful! The trains rolling through before and after the ceremony had a very special meaning as the brides grandfather was an engineer on that very route....
When I got engaged in October of last year I knew with no hesitation where I wanted my special day to be. I immediately got in touch with William and Arden and got to planning. They were extremely helpful with every detail of the wedding and reception. They knew the answers to all my questions and knew exactly what I...
Planning a wedding with this venue was really not worth what the management/owners put you through! It was a totally "fight" to get them on the phone for ANY reason.

Amazing Wedding Venue!!! William and Arden have created one of the most unique and charming wedding venues in the South.

Crying or Laughing
Why does crying sound like laughing
When you are crying for help out of desperation
Even thought you think no one can hear you?
The reason is clear, it is simply the Mocker
Hiding in the dark places, and it is he who is laughing.
He is laughing because you have thrown away all of your lifelines,
And there is no way out except through the Mocker.
He is a master of illusion, and so is his escape,
Which in reality is more of your present torment.
So you have no escape,
Or at lest that is what he wants you to think.
There is One who could help,
But you don't think he is there.
Do you?
This is why you thought NO ONE was listening,
And that NO ONE would help you.
It is also why you heard the Mocker,
And not the Fellow Crier.

Drug Dealer Killed After Bragging About 125k Win In Stop & Frisk Case
Wow!! A drug-dealer who successfully scored a $125,000 stop and frisk settlement was shot and killed by a robber on Staten Island Tuesday night after bragging about the windfall, sources said.
Kenrick Gray, 34, was brutally blasted in the head around 6:15 p.m. outside 140 Park Hill Avenue in Stapleton after flaunting his riches in recent months, police said. His pal, Noland Whistleton, 41, was also fatally shot in the leg and torso during the botched robbery, cops said.
Police collared suspect Darren Brown, 27, cowering in the shower of his girlfriend's Staten Island home Wednesday afternoon in connection with the shooting.
Gray landed his loot after being falsely stopped by disgraced NYPD cop Michael Daragjati in 2011. The officer, who was once caught on surveillance bragging that he "fried another n—-," is currently serving out a five-year sentence in Ohio on an unrelated extortion case.
Gray, who had several prior arrests for drug possession, boasted about his good fortune around his neighborhood – and became a target, a source close to the case said.
"Mr. Gray recently made known throughout hood that he received the windfall and that very foolish boast did cost him his life," the source said. "He has been running his mouth about getting the settlement and apparently the assailant caught wind of that and tried to rob him. There was a struggle and he was shot."
It was not immediately clear how much money Gray was carrying when he was gunned down or whether the suspect finally made off with his cash.
Whistleton was about to go on trial for attempted rape and was out on $35,000 bail, sources said.
I guess its safe to say, somethings are best kept to yourself. Such an unfortunate situations. Our sincerest condolences goes out to the loved ones of the victim.

WannaCry Virus: A Lesson in Global Unpreparedness
The WannaCry ransomware attack provides important lessons about how to secure cyber networks. History indicates that other attacks will follow. Preparedness is crucial.
May 22, 2017
Because natural and manmade disasters can occur at any time, individuals, communities, and governments must be prepared. RAND has developed guidelines for individual preparedness in response to terrorist attacks; evaluated, modeled, and enhanced preparedness policy options for government officials at all levels; and recommended actions that communities should take to prepare for bioterrorist attacks, pandemic flu outbreaks, and other large-scale emergencies.

Da da da, da de da de da: who's ready for The A-Team?
Now I'll be really honest and admit I was never really a fan of the A-Team. I liked Dirk Benedict when he was on Celebrity Big Brother, and of course I remember everyone walking round saying 'I pity the fool.' But the phenomenon itself sort of passed me by (maybe it was a boy thing?)
So I wasn't sure at all about seeing the new movie remake . But it's actually very entertaining. Plenty of macho action, of course, ridiculous scenarios and sharp wit, and a neat cameo by Dirk himself. There are hints of Bourne and Bond, but of course it's much more tongue-in-cheek than either. The kids loved it. I can see their point.
Good one to put on your summer holiday movie list – as long as you don't take it too seriously.
*The A-Team opens today

It so wasn't a boy thing, I adored the A team!
Every element of The A Team screams "BOY THING!" Gunshots, fires, helicopters, car chases, guns, MR T, action, action action…. need i say more?
Oh no, definitely not a Boy Thing! I loved the (old) A-Team. What those guys could do to a black van with a few rolls of duct tape, sticky-backed plastic and a bundle of wires was incredible! And nobody ever got killed – all the baddies were terrible shots!
Another girl fan here from back in the day 🙂 My fav phrase being "I love it when a plan comes together"
How can you let a post about the A-team go by without mentioning Bradley Cooper's abs?
I loved the A-Team. I was about 10 when it was at its peak and a bit of a tomboy. I have a feeling I'd be disappointed by the film though – remakes are never quite as good as the real thing…
loved the A team. Especially Murdoch who they could bust out of the 'nut-house' anytime ole George Peppard felt like it. Therefore actually quite nervous about seeing this one so good to know it's a good old bit of fun. Probably with lots of guns and noise. But you can't have it all can you (scientifically proven)
I loved the A-Team! I loved the ridiculous scenarios they got themselves into. And the great plans they came up with. Excellent teatime Saturday TV watching! Think my kids may be still little small though. Thanks for the reminder.

Monika Olko Gallery Hosts Artist Opening Reception
The Event Will Benefit Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center's Southampton Satellite Office
Mr. Johnson, a third-generation artist, will introduce his latest works featuring iconic figures in "living pieces." These are mixed media, always changing LED lights and art panels composed of plexi-resin, pigmented inks, film and encaustic wax dyed with oil paints. Mr. Johnson began painting at the age of seven by his father's side. He soon established his reputation in New York at the age of 18 with his own unique style. When he was 22, he was featured in a one-man art show at the famed Stricoff Gallery in Soho — the youngest artist at the time to have a show in Soho. Mr. Johnson cites modern artists Frank Stella and Joan Mitchell as his main influences.
This exhibit and fundraiser — which will run from August 23 to September 12 — has special meaning to Mr. Johnson, who lost his grandfather to Alzheimer's disease.
The Monika Olko Gallery is located at 95 Main Street in Sag Harbor. Mr. Johnson's artwork will be on sale at the exhibit, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting ADRC's satellite office, located at 33 Flying Point Road, Southampton, NY. The Southampton location opened in 2011 to provide services for East End residents with Alzheimer's disease and their families who may otherwise have to travel great distances to receive such assistance.
For more information about this event, please call Wafa Faith Hallam, Art Curator and Gallery Manager, at (631) 899-4740. For more information on ADRC, please visit www.adrcinc.org, or call 1-855-732-4500
Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center, Inc. — which is headquartered in Bay Shore and has a satellite office in Southampton — is the only local Alzheimer's Disease advocacy and educational facility whose mission is to provide hands-on support and services to families on Long Island and the New York metropolitan area. ADRC works with family members, health care professionals and researchers to ensure quality health care and support to those impacted by Alzheimer's Disease through care and consultation, information and referral, training, support groups, and caregiver safety products.

Craving your light
Into the deepest darkest light I went
because I saw light, not shadow in you
I wanted to be the one
The one who turned burning to glowing
But you wouldn't have it
It was an invaison to you
Instead of fixed you thought you would be broken in.
I don't just want to fix you
I want to do those things men and women do...
I want to say those things they say
Feel what they feel
But you pushed me out of your light and into the darkness
I feel around the dark
and try and find an exit
But there's no escape for me
Derek woke up to the sound of bottles crashing together. He lifted his swore back off the couch and grunted. What was he doing sleeping on the couch anyway? And there was those damn bottles again...He looked up into his kitchen. There she was picking up beer bottles and rotted food and dishes. His first thought was how touchable her red brown hair looked and so did the inch of cleavage he saw as she bent over... The second was anger ,he didn't need her to be his mama.
" Would are you doing here Moon?"
Moon straightened up. She stood up akwardly. She still looked beautiful, vulnerable and worst of all she had that sad look of longing in her eyes. But this time she tried to hide it. It didn't work.
" I just came to check on you" Moon shrugged
She continued to stuff the garbage bag. Moon trailed of further into the kitchen. Derek grunted and go up off the couch. He went into the kitchen and snatched the garbage bag from her hands. Moon turned around surprised and a little anonyed she was in the mode.
" You shouldn't be here" Derek grunted
Moon stole the garbage bag back and looked around the filthy apartment " I think I should"
" Ex- girlfriends don't clean ex- boyfriends apartments"
Moon ignored him and continued to pile up dishes and throw out more bottles. She muttered " Consider it my christen duty"
" Get out!" He shouted
Derek couldn't quite explain why he snapped. He didn't know it was because he felt cornered again. But he knew that he had to defend his uncertainty, Derek chose to do that by getting even more angry.
But Moon was use to his antics by now. She rolled her eyes and continued her trash collecting. When that bag was full she tied it up an threw it by the door.
Derek stepped infront of her. She still smelt like Clementines. He blocked her way to his sink. Under the sink is where he kept his garbage bags.
" I said get out" Derek rumbled
" Like your going to clean up this mess yourself..."
" This isn't about the mess. Why don't you just move on like everyone else?"
Moon's face turned from white to red. But she wasn't embrassed. She said low and coldly " Just because it's over doesn't mean I can just unlove you"
Derek showed back " Well you should everyone else does"
" No they don't it just becomes less intense. Anyway love is letting go..."
Derek interrupted " Then let me go"
Moon looked around the filth and chaos. Then looked into Derek's sea green eyes. She whispered " I can't"

TY - Generic T1 - Worker performance and ventilation: Analyses of individual data for call-center workers T2 - Proceedings of the Indoor Air 2002 Conference, Monterey, CA Y1 - 2002 A1 - Clifford C. Federspiel A1 - Gao Liu A1 - Maureen Lahiff A1 - David Faulkner A1 - Dennis L. DiBartolomeo A1 - William J. Fisk A1 - Phillip N. Price A1 - Douglas P. Sullivan AB -
We investigated the relationship between ventilation rates and work performance in a call center. We randomized the ventilation controls and measured ventilation rate, differential carbon dioxide (ΔCO2) concentration, temperature, humidity, occupant density, degree of under-staffing, shift length, time of day, and time required to complete two different work performance tasks (talk and wrap-up). ΔCO2 concentrations ranged from 13 to 611 ppm. We used multi-variable regression to model the association between the predictors and the responses. We found that agents performed talk tasks fastest when the ventilation rate was highest, but that the relationship between talk performance and ventilation was not monotone. We did not find a statistically significant association between wrap-up performance and ventilation. At high temperatures agents were slower at both the talk and wrap-up tasks. Agents were slower at wrap-up during long shifts and when the call center was under-staffed.JF - Proceedings of the Indoor Air 2002 Conference, Monterey, CA PB - Indoor Air 2002, Santa Cruz, CA VL - 1 U1 -

Customer service goals have been articulated, messages drilled, and incentive programs created. But many employees still deliver lackluster service. What does it take to get them functioning as stellar frontline representatives of the company?Rather than offering another set of tactics for improving customer service, this book takes a novel approach by rooting out the real reasons employees aren't delivering the service they should. The results can be both surprising and illuminating, such as:• Company culture doesn't always support service excellence• Over-emphasis on cost reduction often increases the cost of service• Employees are torn between doing the right thing for the customer and following policy• Poor products and services can make helping the customer nearly impossible• Employees' interests often don't align with company goalsOnce core problems are identified, the book offers corrective solutions, including redirecting coaching efforts, revisiting policies and procedures, clarifying roles and responsibilities, and more. Filled with inside stories from well-known organizations and the latest scientific research, Service Failure helps people overcome the obstacles preventing them from doing their very best.

Pentium Dual Core E6500K exceeds 6 GHz
The new Intel Pentium Dual Core E6500K, which is marketed in Asia, has been brought to 6 GHz with liquid nitrogen cooling.
PC Games Hardware has already reported about Intel's attempt in Asia to introduce an entry level processor with an open multiplier. The Pentium Dual Core E6500K is supposed to be a direct competitor to AMD's Black Edition CPUs which have an open multiplier, too.
Now the user DFORDOG of the Expreview Forum has overclocked the processor: With liquid nitrogen the PDC E9500K was brought to more than 6 GHz- 6,004 MHz to be exact. The system was based on a TP45 motherboard from Biostar and two Geil 1 GiByte DDR2-800 RAM modules. For the validation of 6,004 MHz the FSB was increased to 353.18 MHz and the multiplier was set to 17 - the core voltage was increased to 1.8 volt. For normal users a test with water or air cooling would have made more sense, but the results show what can be expected from such a processor. Pictures of the OC results can be found in our gallery.

A Battle of Budget Priorities
When your initial draft budget leaves you in the red, it's time to take a good look at your association's needs and priorities. In an Associations Now case study, a senior management team comes together to debate what can be cut and what has to stay. (Titled "Stretched Thin" in print version.)
Editor's note: See guest commentary by scrolling your mouse over the speech bubbles that appear in the text. This month's commentary provided by Don Klein.
The NSTS senior team waited while their CEO and COO positioned two flip charts at the front of the conference room. One listed the four key areas the board had designated as top priorities for the next fiscal year; the other had "$140,000" written at the top. This is a situation that virtually all of us have faced recently and may be experiencing right now as we move toward a new year. The process is full of traps and opportunities for discouragement. It is also full of opportunities for affirmation and creativity. Having a clear set of multi-year strategic initiatives and annual goals related to those initiatives is where to start.
The key to addressing this situation is to stay focused on the initiatives and goals and bring the leadership team, and full staff, into the process of accomplishing those goals. The clearer and more compelling the goals are, the more energy and creativity is generated and released to get them accomplished, even if in new and different ways.—Don Klein Great idea for Craig to have the four key priorities clearly visible in the room as the budget challenges are being discussed. It should help everyone realize that this is not simply a numbers conversation.—DK
Normally, before a senior-team meeting got underway, there would be chatter around the table. But today everyone was quiet. Kate, the CFO, flipped through some papers, while Gina, the marketing and communications director, jotted notes on a legal pad. Hal, the director of meetings and research, and Holly, the membership director, both checked email on their smartphones.
"OK, folks," said Craig, turning to face the group. Hal and Holly set their phones aside. "Here's where we are. As you know, our initial draft budget put us in the red. We all took a second look and made changes, but we're still $140,000 off from a break-even budget. I want to talk about our options and come to consensus about what needs to be cut, or what revenue streams can be enhanced or developed, to get us into the black." The "second look" by the management team does not refer to including staff in the search for solutions. Those closest to the front lines often have the best insights for improvements for efficiency.—DK
Patricia sat down as Craig was speaking. "Kate," she said, "maybe you can go first. Are there any expenditures or projected revenues you're still questioning?"
Kate said, "'Questioning' is a strong word. I think we've made all of the easy or obvious cuts that can be made. Now it's down to the hard stuff." She gave Hal an apologetic look. "I think the first place we have to look is personnel. The CFO initiating the suggestion of personnel cuts may not be received well. Reductions in benefits for everyone might be better for the CFO to suggest, as those running departments that depend on more staff might be sensitive about suggested cuts.—DK Tracey's position in meetings is still open. What if we held it open for the year and planned to bring in a temp for the month or so leading up to the annual conference? We'd be looking at a solid savings, once you take overhead into consideration."
Hal frowned. "Even with a temp, that's a huge increase to Dan's workload. I'm concerned we could burn him out. Not to mention the fact that he's taking the lead on the new symposium we're launching for next spring. We want that to be a home run."
Patricia tapped her pencil against the table. "What if we offer Dan a raise, and potentially a promotion in six months, to recognize the additional work he'll be doing? That cuts into the savings, of course, but Hal's right that we don't want to lose Dan. He's a great team player, and that symposium he's launching has a lot of potential." Giving Dan a raise and a promotion (which should not be delayed) may not keep him from being burned out. Support is needed.—DK
"Maybe my team could help with some of Tracey's old duties, too," suggested Holly. "I know she spent a lot of time on the phone with volunteers. It's a little different than answering the questions we usually handle, but I'm sure we could get trained up pretty quickly." Great attitude from the membership director to help across departmental lines.—DK
Hal nodded slowly. "I suppose that all makes sense," he said. "Assuming we do decide to hold that position open, I'll sit down with Dan and see what he thinks and what Holly's team could help with."
Education vs. Membership
As Craig updated the shortfall total written on the flipchart, Kate went back to her notes. "Another area we should look at is marketing. It's the only area where we have an expense increase from last year …"
"In support of the revenue goals in meetings and membership," Gina interjected.
"Is there anything more we can do to bring those expenses down, though?" asked Kate. "Could we look at more electronic marketing, or fewer or cheaper printed materials?"
Gina sighed. "I'm nervous about increasing the electronic marketing more than we already planned for, but maybe we can squeeze on our print costs a bit. Just off the top of my head, we could cut the preconference program down from 24 to 12 pages." She made some quick calculations on her legal pad. "Maybe we could cut back on membership mailings, too." While the scenario starts with a tip of the hat to both cuts and revenue enhancements, no real attention is given to creative enhancements. Strategic partnerships, grants, and other approaches can make a major positive difference.—DK
Holly shook her head. "What about the goals the membership committee set? They're still looking for two-percent growth this year. If we cut back on mailings, we're even less likely to hit their target."
Hal gestured toward the flipcharts at the front of the room. "The board did make education our top priority for the year," he said. "It's a bad economy, members are struggling, and education can help them expand in new areas and potentially find new jobs. The membership committee will have to understand that the board's priorities come first." There seems to be a silo situation here, at least between the membership and education initiatives. Combining the information in at least some of the mailings might create some efficiency. And providing education to nonmembers might attract new people and help achieve the membership-recruitment goal.—DK
"But those new members are also new prospects for educational programs," Holly protested. "We know that members are more likely than nonmembers to come to our meetings and events." She turned to Gina. "Can we hold that idea off to one side for now? If there's no other option, we can go there, but I'd really like to see if we can get to 140 without hurting our chances at reaching our membership goal."
"Sure, if it's OK with Craig and Patricia," Gina said. Craig nodded and jotted a note on one side of his flipchart.
Expense vs. Revenue
"Well, what other ideas do you have, Holly?" asked Hal. "Feel free to share."
"Hey," said Patricia. "We're all making sacrifices here, Hal." The mood in the room feels awkward. Craig needs to find a way to diffuse it. At least some of the members of the senior management team are becoming territorial and protective, rather that working together on creative solutions.—DK
"I feel like my department's making most of them," Hal said. "We're the ones being asked to work short staffed for the rest of the year, and Gina's looking at cutting our marketing budget, too."
"Meetings and research is our biggest budget area," Patricia pointed out. "Therefore, you're probably going to have bigger cuts than other departments, too. It's not personal."
Hal subsided, while Holly took a deep breath. "I do have a few ideas," she offered. "The way Cameron has been bidding out design more often has worked really well. He probably saved $10,000 in eight months—does that sound right, Gina?" Gina nodded. "What if we all try to be more aggressive in bidding things out? I bet we could shave some expense that way." The process of an RFP can sometimes reduce costs, but it can also create great inefficiencies and lower staff productivity. Experience and insight with customers is what should make agencies, designers, and so forth more valuable.—DK
"Cam did find some good cost savings," Gina said, "but keep in mind the amount of time he's put in bidding out more projects."
"And some of our vendor partnerships are long standing for a reason," Hal said. "The company I work with for logistics at the annual conference has worked with us for almost 10 years. They know the show almost as well as I do. Bringing a new company up to speed could take more staff time than we'd save in direct dollars."
"Those are almost the exact same objections we discussed when we talked about bidding out design more often," Kate pointed out. "But I haven't seen a significant drop in the quality of our design work. And Cameron seems to be managing the RFPs and the new vendors well."
"His regular designer still wins a lot of the projects," Holly said. "Bidding out doesn't necessarily mean going with a new vendor every single time."
"That's true," Gina said. "Cameron has a nice set of criteria he's developed to help balance cost and other factors. It's worked fairly well so far."
Holly looked down at her list again. "I was also wondering about our board meeting costs. They just recently updated state law to allow electronic voting, right? Maybe we could consider holding one of our board meetings virtually. If we can work out the technology, it would save us a ton of travel costs." A wise person once explained to me that "things happen in context of relationship." The hotel space for board meetings has value beyond just the cost. Personal relationships among the leaders need to be strong, and that means spending time together—especially now, as challenging issues are addressed. Perhaps reducing the number of meetings would be good, but to eliminate them would be costly well beyond the related expenses.—DK
"We're already under contract for hotel space for next year's board meetings," Patricia said.
Hal cleared his throat. "We are under contract," he said, "but Dan has good relationships with some of those hotels. If we agreed to give them some other business down the line, I bet they'd be willing to move that contract to next year. It's not a huge room block, anyway, so we wouldn't be leaving them in the lurch necessarily."
There was a pause as Craig and Kate conferred and Craig updated the total on the flipchart again. "Great work so far, everyone," he said. "But we've still got about $80,000 to go. What other ideas do we have?" This is a great exercise and very timely. It challenges us to think beyond standard approaches and timeframes. Reserves and other resources should be considered for use in times like these. Positive, active, aggressive action now strengthens membership support and value, and it creates more opportunity for growth when times improve.—DK

Understanding the Link between your Thoughts and Emotions/
Thinking and feeling usually appear together, except in children and psychopaths. But thinking and feeling are really quite distinct, although they are often mistaken for one another because they are both conscious and extrasensory. For simplicity let's say that feeling is in the body and thinking is in the mind, although that boundary is notoriously fuzzy. Fear, anxiety, exhilaration, depression, anger, and lust each produce a signature physical sensation that corresponds to a particular cocktail of endocrinal drugs, with which your glands infuse your bloodstream in order to express their view of your situation. Different parts of your body respond to each endocrinal cocktail in characteristic ways. You know these feelings well if you have been paying attention to your life.
It is obvious and certainly true that we sometimes have feelings for reasons, which is to say that we feel the way we do in reaction to events in the world. I am angry because you insulted me, I am anxious about my financial prospects, or I am exhilarated because I have just jumped out of an airplane or had a particularly interesting thought. It is less obvious but certainly true that it also works the other way around. When we recognize a feeling we then try to figure out why we are having it, and we don't always get this right.
Depression and anger illustrate this point clearly. Regardless of the reason that you become depressed on any particular occasion, you will certainly then go on to notice an unlimited variety of other hopeless and gloomy things in your world, each of which will constitute a further valid reason for your increasingly justifiable depression. Regardless of the reason that you become angry on any particular occasion, you will certainly then notice an unlimited variety of other irritating things about your beloved, each of which will constitute a further valid reason for your increasingly justifiable hostility. There is no limit to the cognitive fuel that can be thrown onto an emotional fire and it is sometimes tempting to pile it on.
This is one way either individuals or relationships can spin out of control. Critical examination of the actual root of problematic thoughts or feelings invariably has a constructive and stabilizing effect. I think you will feel better if you think differently about your feelings and their reasons.

Business TRON (BTRON), is a computer operating system with a graphical user interface (GUI) built upon Central TRON (CTRON), itself a subproject of The Real-time Operating system Nucleus (TRON). TRON was launched in Japan in 1984 as an initiative to create a single, universal operating system with an open architecture.
At one point, BTRON had a chance of becoming a popular desktop operating system in Japan. In 1989 the Japanese company Matsushita (now Panasonic) released an Intel-based PC, dubbed the PanaCAL ET, with the BTRON operating system. Though it only had an Intel 80286 processor with 2 MB of RAM, the system could render color video in a separate window. The Japanese government planned to introduce the Matsushita PC in its schools, but the United States government objected, claiming that the plan constituted market intervention and threatened Japan with sanctions (partly at the request of Microsoft).[citation needed]
BTRON was unable to gain a position in the desktop OS market, however other TRON operating systems continue to be extensively used in small devices such as mobile phones, digital cameras, and CD players. The desktop operating system market is dominated by Microsoft's Windows operating system.

text: Like letters which become sentences that grow into paragraphs, likewise our lives are written. Our table of contents properly sorts the chapters of our lives, and provides them with subtitles. We dedicate our stories to someone for some reason... my family, my children, my third grade teacher Ms. Johnson for believing in me. Every book begins in a different way... she was born, he died, they lived. Each chapter discloses who we are, why we are. She stood before us in a board room and passionately prodded us, saying, "We are advocates for kids." She opened her book and read an excerpt. "When I was a child, I lived with both parents in a suburban neighborhood. Most assumed the outer beauty of our home was a depiction of the beauty within. We knew otherwise. When my father divorced my mother she went into a depression. It was my soccer coach that noticed that everything wasn't right. I am an advocate for kids who may not be reached because the lawn is mowed, the grass is green, and the house is pretty." That's when I realized we all have stories... the people walking to work in the morning, the elderly woman reading riding the train, the man jogging, the single mother dropping off her children to school. We are all books waiting to be read.
