VoIP Phone Services
Frequently Asked Questions
What is VoIP?
VoIP is a technology that allows telephone calls to be made over computer networks like the Internet. VoIP converts analog voice signals into digital data packets and supports real-time, two-way transmission of conversations using Internet Protocol (IP).

The color of our 9971 phones is black
Cisco 7937 – conference phone
This is the new conference phone option. The old conference phones will still work on the new system.
Where can I find a quick reference guide for the new VoIP phones or Jabber?
To access the quick start guide for the new VoIP phones.
To access the quick start guide for Jabber.
Am I losing any features that I had with the old system?
No. The new system will provide all the features that our old phone system offered, including hold call, call forwarding, voice mail, and transfer call.
Will this change the department's phone bill?
No. The monthly cost per phone will remain the same for your department.
Will having a VoIP phone slow down my computer?
No. There will be a small package installed on your computer that works with the phone, but it will not cause your computer to slow down. If you are having problems with your computer, please contact the computer Help Desk at 254-968-9885 or (866) 744-8900.
What are the advantages with the new VoIP System?
You will have a chance to learn about the new functionality when the implementation team meets with your department. Features to look forward to include a university wide instant messaging system, the availability to see when a user is on/off their phone, and many more.
Where can I find out more information about Cisco Jabber?
We recommend checking out the following Cisco Jabber tutorials for more information: (External links to Cisco Website)
Will I still need my long distance authorization code on the new phones?
No, the University has decided to track and pay for long distance usage differently moving forward. Long distance costs will now be funded from your monthly telephone line charges. Usage will still be tracked, and reported back to each department monthly, based on the phone number used to make the call.
Will international calls be funded from our monthly telephone line charges?
No, only domestic long distance calls made from either your University phone or fax will be funded through your monthly telephone line charges. International, calling card, conference bridges, and any incoming calls on your 800 numbers will still be billed back to your department each month. International calls will be tracked based on the phone number used to make the call. Calling card, conference bridges, and incoming 800 number usages will all be tracked and billed back to you in the same way we do it now.
How will I make a long distance call/ fax without my authorization code?
What if I have a phone that I don't want it to be used to make long distance calls?
Let us know the phone number of that telephone and we will block the outbound long distance capabilities on it.
If I block the outbound long distance capabilities on it, can it still receive long distance calls?
Will the special conference room telephones we purchased work with the new system?
Will my current headset work with the new phones?
No, the new phones require a new compatible headset.
Does my department incur the cost of a new headset?
The VoIP Project will pay to replace any existing headsets. The department will pay the cost of any new headsets just like it does now.

Open up a terminal and type "mount". This will give you a list of the mounted partitions. Your MSWindows partition should be in that list, it will have been mounted somewhere beneath the "/mnt" folder.
I have seen this video tutorial of how to read out an XP password..
htt p://blip. tv/file/2239210/ (look for spaces)
I use the backtrack pre 4 release per USB on my netbook (windows xp on harddrive)
the big problem is now, that i dont know where to find windows or the harddrive in general :/ all i can find is the usb stick with backtrack and some other things like photos on it...
thanks for help!
Open up a terminal and type "mount". This will give you a list of the mounted partitions. Your MSWindows partition should be in that list, it will have been mounted somewhere beneath the "/mnt" folder.
Ask questions on the open forums, that way everybody benefits from the solution, and everybody can be corrected when they make mistakes. Don't send me private messages asking questions that should be asked on the open forums, I won't respond. I decline all "Friend Requests".
the 'Konqueror > Storage Media > then hit F5 ' way worked... but before i had to reboot a second time, because it said windows is still in use (???) well i just logged out to the backtrack textmode, typed startx again and it worked..
i tried the way with 'mount' before.. i didnt find anything.. finally found it under /media/disk/windows
Mount only tells you about mounted filesystems, and sometimes it misses ones mounted using the GUI.
A more reliable way to determine the device names of hard drives and their associated partitions in your system is to use either of the following
orCode:cat /proc/partitions
Then one you know the device names you can mount the associated filesystems using the mount command so you can access them.Code:fdisk -l
And I agree with #mfBaranian#, learning how to manage drives and partitions is a good idea if you want to be proficient at analysing Windows systems using a Backtrack Live CD.
Capitalisation is important. It's the difference between "Helping your brother Jack off a horse" and "Helping your brother jack off a horse".
The Forum Rules, Forum FAQ and the BackTrack Wiki... learn them, love them, live them.

Yep, why by the faulty iphone 5 when you can wait for the next iPhone thats coming shortly.
And with the equally bugy IOS6 you might as well wait for the next iphone and have a newer hopefully fixed IOS. If its not fixed and the iPhone 5S isn't better then there is always the always better than iPhone Galaxy S* series of smartphones, which is actually the smart way to go. They are better and cheaper so why not get one of them like everyone else.
Go have a read of some other news sites. They are saying the iPhone is over and Androids are the way to go.
I'm agreeing with them. The iPhone isn't user friendly and buggy and more expensive so why not go for the better phone.
Heres to hoping ur move to android and samsung prompts u too move to a different forum as well. But you will probably keep coming back until that one day ur decision proves to be a bad one and you extoll the iphone, apple, and all the activities you can do when u make ur beds into bunkbeds.
Yea, I have to agree with others. The people aren't stupid. They are realizing that Apple isn't innovative like they were in the beginning and it's pissing me off as well. I have a jb 4S and my contract is up in June this year. If Apple doesn't do something "innovative" for the next phone...or hell even be a little more competitive for their next device, I'm getting the Sony Experia Z.
Just thinking about that phone makes me quiver!
JB'n iOS kicks Android arse every day of the week ... I should know, I've had four iPhones and have an HTC Evo 3D and Galaxy Note 2 (and owned three other Androids).
Android just doesn't cut it in terms of usability and stability.
And Samsung's abysmal Pentile displays are MISERABLE.
OK, Apple goofed with the i-5 - but when they sort bigger screens with a usable aspect ratio, demand will start increasing again.
I love my iPhone 5! I wouldn't trade it for any Android phone in the world. It's funny to read posts where the person is trying to convince others to move to Android...people choose Apple for a reason, they like their products! I've owned plenty of Android smartphones and I could say the say thing about each one of them; they've all had different problems. It's all personal choice....

College of Education's Diverse Pathways builds strong teachers, schools
Grace Farnum is the poster child--well, make that teacher--for a federally funded project to develop a pool of K-12 educators for 12 of South Carolina's underserved schools.
"I understand this population; I wanted to teach these students."
And judging by the results at her new school--a 30-percent increase in standardized science achievement scores--the five-year-old program is working.
Diverse Pathways
Farnum grew up just southeast of Columbia in Calhoun County, one of three counties participating in Diverse Pathways. The joint initiative between the University of South Carolina's College of Education, Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College, and Midlands Technical College also helps the schools:
- strengthen their curricula
- recruit and retain teachers
- develop strong connections with University education professor
'I can do it, too'
Farnum was one of Diverse Pathway's first graduates, taking advantage of its bridge program to attend one of the technical schools for two years before transferring to South Carolina to finish her education degree.
"I understand this population; I wanted to teach these students," says Farnum, in her second year teaching third grade at Guinyard Elementary School in Calhoun County.
She's also welcomed other O-C Tech education students to her classroom. "They see me and say to themselves, 'She did it--I can do it, too.' "
In fact, when Diverse Pathways started in 2004, O-C Tech didn't have any students who wanted to be K-12 teachers; now there are 60.
Recruiting pays off
"Filling teaching positions in rural schools is tough because of the culture shock factor," says Jane Zenger, one of two College of Education professors who founded the program. "Teachers recruited from other parts of the country or even from nearby cities often won't stick around."
But when they do, the results are often amazing, as Zenger and her colleague Stephen Thompson found out when they asked principals and teachers in each school to identify academic areas in need of support.
Guinyard Elementary chose science education as its priority.

ORLANDO, FL -- An explosion on Sept. 26 destroyed a warehouse at 47 W. Jefferson St. in downtown Orlando, startling local residents and delaying two Amtrak trains. It also startled many longtime members of the coin-op community. The warehouse was home to Creative Engineering Inc., founded by Aaron Fechter, who invented the iconic arcade game Whac-A-Mole in the 1970s.
According to local press reports, the blast was a result of a new cooking fuel Fechter was working on called carbohydrillium. The fuel, Fechter's promotional material claimed, was said to burn "cleaner" than propane.
Nobody was hurt in the blast, though much of Fechter's workspace, which included production of animatronic figures used in the Chuck E. Cheese's and ShowBiz Pizza Place franchises, was destroyed. Fechter, said local authorities, is cooperating with the investigation.

Those repeatedly exposed to tragedy and trauma, such as health care workers, firefighters and law enforcement officers, may be susceptible to a condition known as "compassion fatigue," according to a new documentary produced by three Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) student filmmakers.
"Overexposed: The Cost of Compassion," makes its South Sound premiere on Feb. 22 at 7 p.m. in the Mary Baker Russell Music Center's Lagerquist Concert Hall, located near the intersection of 8th Avenue Court South, and Wheeler Street South, on PLU's campus in Parkland.
A panel discussion and reception will follow the screening of the film. Panelists will include John Schenk, a former relief worker for World Vision of Federal Way, Michelle Harrison of Associated Ministries in Tacoma, and several PLU professors. These experts will offer insights about compassion fatigue and effects of the condition.
The MediaLab student researchers responsible for producing "Overexposed" – PLU seniors Elizabeth Herzfeldt-Kamprath, Hailey Rile and junior Katie Scaff – spent more than one year researching the topic and producing the film.
"After reading a little bit about what compassion fatigue is," Scaff said, "we realized that this was an important issue that more people need to be aware of."
The title of the film, which came to the filmmakers during one of the more than 60 interviews they conducted all across North America, is evocative of the human toll associated with repeated exposure to trauma and suffering.
The team traveled some 12,000 miles across the United States and Canada by car, train and plane in search of people with unique stories to tell. In New Orleans, for example, the researchers met survivors of Hurricane Katrina, a nationally renowned expert who wrote the first book about compassion fatigue and a sexual trauma nurse at Louisiana State University Hospital. The filmmakers' work also took them to California, Illinois, Washington D.C., New York City and Kingston, Ontario, where they attended the first annual Compassion Fatigue conference.
"It's been a busy year. But we've learned so much," Scaff said. "Our goal now is to bring awareness to this issue so people can identify it and know how to cope."
The team is currently working on creating a version of the film that could be used for training purposes in a variety of social service professions.
The screening of "Overexposed" is part of the first annual PLU School of Arts + Communication Focus Series, which consists of four events that address various aspects of compassion through different disciplinary lenses.
"Our goal with the new Focus Series is to bring together our talented students and faculty to focus on a common theme through a multi-disciplinary approach," said Cameron Bennett, dean of the School of Arts and Communication. "'Compassion,' the theme for the 2011-12 Series, is one of relevance in these challenging times and certainly a cornerstone of social interconnection and human values that brings us together. It promises to be an exciting and thought-provoking journey."
For more details about the SOAC Focus Series, visit: www.plu.edu/soac/focus-series.
MediaLab at PLU, which was established in 2006, is a student-faculty research and applied internship program that provides students with opportunities to explore various methods of mass communication.
"Overexposed" marks the seventh film produced by MediaLab, which has received numerous national recognitions for its work, including one Emmy Award and three consecutive Emmy nominations.
The School of Arts and Communication at PLU houses the Departments of Art & Design, Communication & Theatre, and Music and presents more than 250 events each season. PLU offers approximately 3,500 students a unique blend of academically rigorous liberal arts and professional programs. Students develop skills in decision-making, analysis, communication and reasoning that prepare them for a lifetime of success – both in their careers and in service to others.

This is like rating apples to oranges. -_- But seriously, how many android phones are there? Compared to 3 iPhones to choose from. The fact that apple is even competing is unbelievable.
Actually the iPhone sucks now with the "junior" screen. I can't even stand looking at it anymore and let my little 3 year old play with it. Too many iPhone hard cores don't want to see the light. Too much crap having to JB your phone and unlocking is easy after 3 months. Seriously, too many have screwed up their phones having to battle Apple with the JB's, unlocks etc. Yeah and you can be sure that ATT is losing customers by the bucketfull. There was some BS that ATT signed up a record number of subscribers but the question also needs to be asked how many are they losing. I switched to the Samsung Galaxy S2 a month ago and went to Tmobile and have NOT been happier than I am now not having crappy ATT service. iPhone has fallen behind with their disappointing 4s model in my opinion but I am sure they will catch up (not surpass) the Android phone with the iPhone 5.
dang, thats a lot of phones. Thats also a lot of Carrier IQ keystrokes that are recorded........BURN!
hmmm so in roughly one year every person in the US will have bought a phone with Android (to put that in perspective). What is equally amazing is if you look at the production base for all the phones and claimed sales percentages from the top 10 manufacturer's the number circles the population of the world ten times over in one year.
Aside from the 700K claim per day, I would love to see what the % would equal if it was just one or two types of phones offered....
11 million HTC EVO's FY-2011
>4 million iPhone 4's in first three days... (roughly the same with the 4S though I believe it was in two days).
So how many devices are being activated on iOS daily?
This seems like a pretty vague claim. 700,000 a day over what period?
For 2011 they averaged 700,000 a day for the year?
or over a 3 day weekend after a major launch they averaged 700,000 a day (while every other day of the calendar year was in the 50,000 a day neighborhood)?
The time span over which that number is based is the difference between mind-blowing and meh.
Just another fictional fact, this argument gets old fast. Maybe 700,000 models of android phones. You'll definitely have a lot of activations if you flood the market the cheap phones. You can get the iPhone 3GS for free, but that model is what 2-3 years old. On the other hand you have android giving away new phones. With the job market the way it is of course more people will flock to what's cheap.
Q. why is it a fault that there is more than one style of Android phone to choose from? not everybody likes the same kind of phone so why should companies ignore that important fact?
Q. Why does apple ONLY make one style of phone?
Q. Why wont apple let other manufacturers put iOS on their devices (Nexus Prime w/ iOS 5 anybody !!!)
Q. Samsung is only one company and by themselves they sell almost twice as many phones as apple.
Also., apples numbers are NOT just from 3 phones. apple has put out 5 phones.
To say that other Manufacturers should only make one phone to compete with apple's one phone is like telling a heavy weight boxer to throw only 1 punch because that's what his opponent does.....it just sounds real stupid.
700000 activations a day is impressive
But is it 690000 a day with the junk phones that are sold at convenience stores and drug stores and 10000 a day with a phone that is something to show off?
Seriously who cares? There is a lot more hamburger in the meat department than there is filet mignon as well. Same argument.
stop being a child, these are just phones and these companies don't care one bit about you.
I think tinkering with iPhone is actually safer for you, your device and your wallet. But that's just me.

PHOTO: Rihanna & Katy Perry re-united!
Listen to Rihanna on iHeartRadio | Listen to Katy Perry on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Did John Mayer pass the best friend test?
Katy Perry and Rihanna had dinner with a group of pals on Monday at The Lion, a fitting restaurant to celebrate at since Perry spent the day promoting her new single "Roar."
"She. X She. ?#KatyAnna?#RIHunited," RiRi, 25, tweeted along with the above picture.
Also in play (and who probably deserves a photo credit on Instagram) was Katy's boyfriend. Witnesses tell omg! the trio sat together upstairs and appeared to be in "great spirits."
"They looked like they were having a blast," a diner tells omg!. "Katy and Rihanna were laughing a lot and it looked like John could definitely keep up, too."
Mayer, 35, and Perry, 28, were already at the eatery when the "Stay" singer swung by.
"John and Katy were really cute together," adds the onlooker. "He was definitely very attentive. They looked happy."
Maybe the third time really is the charm for the reconciled lovebirds. Katy and John just released a duet, "Who You Love," from Mayer's upcoming album "Paradise Valley."
Some sample lyrics?
John sings: "My girl, she ain't the one that I saw coming / Sometimes I don't know which way to go / And I tried to run before but I'm not running anymore."
"My boy, he ain't the one that I saw coming / And some have said his heart's too hard to hold," Perry croons. "And he takes a little time but you should see him when he shines / Cuz you never want to let the feeling go."
After a couple of breakups, Perry and Mayer reunited again in May and have been going strong ever since.

WATCH: Behind the Scenes of Kim Kardashian's Maternity Photoshoot!
Remember that high fashion pregnancy shoot Kim Kardashian did for CR Fashion Book with Karl Lagerfeld?
We now have video. And you know you want to watch!
The video was taken in Paris, and the day before Kimmy was allowed to fly back to L.A. to get ready to deliver baby North West.
In the shoot, we see Kim posing in a black bra, showing off that baby bump. We also see her wrapped up in a grey wool dress, in a green bomber jacket and pink PVC gloves, lovingly touching her bump.

Matt Hires' Favorite Things
Listen to Matt Hires on iHeartRadio
Matt Hires is a singer/songwriter from Tampa, Florida whose upbeat new song, "Restless Heart" has everything you need when you're feeling a little, well, restless. Hires brings a folk-rock sensibility to his acoustic brand of pop that is reminiscent of Mumford & Sons and Phillip Phillips, but his artistry might be more akin to that of John Mayer and Jason Mraz, who he has often been compared to.

Hires' second album is due out in the fall, which he is excited about because he feels like he's grown a lot since he released his first album in 2009. "I like that record, but I feel like I've matured a lot as a song writer since then," Matt tells iHeartRadio. "[On the new album] the songs are just better in my, in my opinion."
Get to know Matt by discovering some of his most favorite things.
Favorite thing about Florida:
I love the beach and being close to that and stuff. Not that I really go to the beach that much anymore … But I like knowing it's there. , it's an option where I can go to the beach and I'm not landlocked.
Favorite midnight snack:
Oh, man. I make up crazy midnight snacks because usually I don't keep a lot of actual snacks around my house. I'll do barbecue toast, where I just make toast and spread barbecue sauce on it. It's pretty good. And I mix ranch and buffalo sauce and dip carrots in it... and pickles.
Favorite person to stalk on Twitter:
My favorite people to follow are Patton Oswalt and Prodigal Sam.
Favorite bad decision to make at 2:00 am:
There would be scotch involved.
Favorite thing to do when feeling restless:
Take my dog for a walk. He's a labradoodle - he's pretty awesome. His name's Luke Skywalker Hires.
Favorite mode of transportation:
I've been fortunate enough to, on some tours, to be able to ride on the tour bus with the headlining act. I'm not quite to bus status yet. So usually I am in a white van, which is fine. But the bus is pretty sweet.
Favorite chain restaurant to eat at on the road:
We actually ended up at Chili's a couple times. You can't really beat Chili's chips and salsa and two for one beers.
Favorite place to wake up:
I always like
Favorite time of day:
It's probably around midnight. Most musicians are - most musicians I know at least - are night owls.
Favorite planet:
Mars. Because, well, the Mars rover that went up there recently... being able to see it and stuff. Pretty, pretty cool.
Favorite trend in facial hair:
Probably would be a mustache if I could grow one, but it's pretty thin up here, so I can't really... this is as good as I can do. I wish I could grow a big, huge beard, but I don't have the capabilities. Once - funny story - I was house sitting for some friends. I'm not going to say any names (laughing), but in the shower, there was some hair energizing shampoo for balding, so I tried it on my face. I was like 15 at the time, so maybe it helped. I don't know.
Favorite way to let a girl know you're interested:
My wife actually makes fun of me because I kind of asked her on our first date over AOL instant messenger. It worked out.
Favorite thing about being in love:
Just having that connection with somebody else. The feeling of knowing that they love you back is my favorite thing.
Favorite perk of being a musician:
I know a lot of other musicians now and have friends who play a lot of shows... being able to go see them play and get on the guest list all the time.

description: Thanks to super speed and specially-designed feet, the basilisk lizard can run on water... an ability that makes it deadly to insects, and has led people to call it the "Jesus Christ Lizard."

allowUserEmbed: True

transcript:
Iin the jungles of Costa Rica, speed is everything for the basilisk lizard.
When you prey on winged insects...you need to be quick...because your prey moves fast...really fast.
So when the basilisk is in a hurry, it displays one of the most spectacular capabilities in nature...a true superpower.
This flat-footed reptile is so fast and so light that it can run across the surface of the water at speeds as much as five feet per second.
But speed alone doesn't make this superpower possible.
Long toes on their rear feet...along with fringes of skin that unfurl to meet the water...create little air pockets under the lizard's feet.
And the air pockets give the lizard lift!
A true superpower in nature.

Feminism | Posted by Kate M on 02/28/2014
What Happens After You Lose Weight
I wouldn't say that I was ever fat. I was always just overweight enough that girls would tell me I looked "fine" and guys wouldn't tell me much of anything (because I guess my dazzling intellect and sense of humor wasn't high on their priority list). As a feminist, I always tried to feel proud of my body. I really did want to accept it and love it for what it was. But that was easier said than done.
Last summer I lost about 15 pounds. When I came back to school in the Fall, I was showered with compliments. "How did you do it?" everybody asked. I told some that I hardly even noticed my weight loss and that I had no idea how …

RFID Wallet
By Proto
from Norfolk Virginia
This is a great wallet. It is so light weight you won't believe it. RFID is a must nowadays. Not only do people scan your wallet for credit card theft intent, private investigators, police and criminals scan your wallet for identity then run your background materials to steal your identity usually just for a short time so as not to be detected but with criminal intent. This carbon fiber model is the best one on the market. It is designed correctly and the standard ID's and cards fit in perfectly so it's easy to access them when you need to without wrestling the slots in line at the super market for instance. I highly recommend it. I'm sure you will like yours too.

Hope this works
By Smitty
from Colorado
I have had my credit cards compromised several times in the past and could never figure out how they were getting my information. I figured this could be the solution to my problem though I'll never know for sure. This wallet is pretty pricey but I figure it's worth it in today's world of radio waves and thieves. It is a little bulky and stiff but hopefully will loosen up after time. Hard to determine whether it's working or not.
So far so good
By Frank
from Illinois
I just bought this so I really can't comment about durability. It is larger than I expected. Not thicker but taller & wider. It is an interesting concept. I bought this after watching a 60 minutes show about how retailers are starting to find out about who you are by scanning your credit cards when you walk into a store. That is a little too big brotherish for me. But the real question is, "Does it work?" I don't know butbi haven't had anyone come up to me in a store recommending something based on previous purchases.

By MadFox

The product is not as pictured. There is clear plastic on each side of the wallet. Looks incredibly cheap as a result.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your comments. This wallet comes with a clear plastic for protection - which is removable. Please contact us customer service team if you have issues with removing this protective film.

Famous Hammacher Schemmler quality
By Big Papa
from Walla Walla, WA
I purchased a Stingray wallet from Hammacher Schemmler a few years back, expecting it to last forever. The outside was as durable as advertised, but the inside began coming apart over the years. Hammacher Schemmler no longer carries them so I looked for another wallet. The inside material is made of the same material that is used to make Kevlar Vests. That is the durability I am looking for! The outside material used to thwart identity theft is very smooth and glides in and out of the pocket quite easily. Maybe too easily. I am afraid it may slide out of my pocket and I won't notice it. So far, so good!
More than I expected

Attractively styled yet very practical. Glad I decided to purchase this product.

hey guys and gals, i searched and couldnt find a palce that sells ultra wides. were can i pick one up at? thanx for the help
I found a few places but they were sold out (online). Did see one on ebay, 20 bucks I think, said it comes with 5 nibs tho. They are a hard marker to find now, lol or atleast for me. Great marker tho.
pretty good idea, probably going to make one tonight....
...pm me if you're in the 905...
Anybody know how much are those krink markers at arromark? They have no prize on their site. Not going to order any, cuz I live out from US but just want to know how much does krink ask for just changing the labels.
And yo, that superbig marker is just retarded. The nib is so fucking big that you can't tag almost anything, and you need a fucking backpack for carrying it around. For that big tags just use a spraycan. It maybe fun to make though.

Prosecutors Thursday declined to file charges against four sheriff's deputies involved in the fatal shooting of a 40-year-old Rancho Cucamonga man in March 2012.
San Bernardino County sheriff's Deputies Danny Rice, Paul Casas, Michael Salazar and Sgt. Michael O'Brien fired at Brandon Morrow because he fired a .45-caliber handgun at them, striking one of the deputies in the leg, the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office said.
Deputies encountered Morrow in San Bernardino near the corner of Highland and Del Rosa avenues while investigating a rape and robbery case.
He ran from deputies, pulled out the gun and fired at deputies. Rice received a bullet wound to his leg. Morrow was shot several times and died at the scene.

Banner Elk, N.C. - The Brevard Men's and Women's Cycling teams competed this past weekend in Banner Elk, N.C. against teams from East Tennessee State, Florida, Warren Wilson, Lees-McRae, Cumberland, Georgia Tech, North Georgia College and State, Life, Georgia, and UNC Asheville.
This meet held strong implications for both Tornado teams concerning national championship qualification, and the teams came away with nothing to worry about as they dominated the competition.
Saturday's events consisted of a time trial event, a short track cross country race, and a dual slalom race.
In the time trial, on the women's side, Julia Tellman took first as she finished ahead of teammate Jo Tuttle by almost a full minute. The men's team placed five in the top 20 as Tristan Cowie came in a close second, followed by Dan Ennis in 5th, Matt St. Marie in 10th, Matt Wells in 14th, and Tim Reinhart rounding out the pack in 20th.
The same was true of the short track race as Tellman again finished on top, with Tuttle taking second on the women's side. For the men, Cowie took first in this event, with St. Marie finishing in the top five, with Ennis looking in from the outside at 7th.
The dual slalom race was dominated by BC's Danny Cesare and Tuttle as both won their respective races. Tuttle's only competition for the event came from teammate Tellman in the semifinals, but she breezed past her on her way to victory. Cesare likewise faced a challenge in teammate Ennis, but past him en route to victory.
The marquee cross country race was the main event on Sunday as the cyclists combated on a grueling course that took over two hours to race. Cowie again came out on top, passing the leaders with about five minutes left in the race. St. Marie rode with the leaders most of the race, but a last-second flat tire led to him finishing in 7th. Ennis and Reinhart both finished in the top 15, rounding out a solid effort by the team. On the women's side, it was much of the same for the Tornados as Tellman and Tuttle finished 1-2 in the race, finishing up the weekend.
The Tornado Cycling team is back in action on October 11th and 12th as they travel to Conference Championships which are hosted in Clemson, S.C.

About La Quinta
Located in the gorgeous Coachella Valley of California, La Quinta is a relaxing desert resort town. Bordered by the beautiful peaks of the Santa Rosa Mountains and blanketed by deep blue skies, La Quinta has a wonderful desert atmosphere. For a town in Southern California, La Quinta has a rather long history, founded by Spanish settlers in the 18th century. It later became a hideaway for Hollywood celebrities when the first golf course opened in La Quinta in the 1920s.
Today, La Quinta offers warm weather, desert scenery, great shopping, and a friendly low-key atmosphere, all of the qualities that have made the neighboring town of Palm Springs so famous. Within the clean and well-planned downtown district, there are many public parks and green spaces for walking, not to mention, plenty of designer boutiques, restaurants, and galleries. A great place to spend the day shopping, La Quinta's Old Town is filled with old-fashioned street lamps, fountains, palm trees, and dining al fresco. There is even a public art program, through which local sculptors and muralists display work throughout the town.
For the outdoorsy type of traveler, there are wonderful hiking trails in the surrounding Santa Rosa Mountains. Golf is also one of the major attractions in La Quinta. While you are here, check out several of the courses in the region, in particular, the Silver Rock Golf Resort, where the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic PGA golf is held. Additionally, you can test the irons at La Quinta-Dunes Course, PGA West Jack Nicklaus Tournament Course, and others. If you prefer an indoor experience, book an afternoon of pampering at one of the city's many luxury spas.
If you are planning a trip to La Quinta, add these items to your itinerary:
- San Jacinto Mountains National Park: A craggy snow-topped mountain range near La Quinta, San Jacinto boasts remarkable desert scenery.
- La Quinta Mountain Course: If you've already played at SilverRock, try this friendly 18-hole golf course in La Quinta.
- Lake Cahuilla County Park: A desert oasis, this large public park is a great place to picnic, fish, or take a stroll in the shadow of the Santa Rosa Mountains.
- Palm Desert: Spend a day shopping on El Paseo in the neighboring town of Palm Desert, a great place for art and fashion.
Enjoy a winter retreat in the desert heat with a La Quinta vacation rental. A town that is well suited to relax, you can beat the heat in the private pool at your condo, or enjoy spending time with the entire family in a spacious villa near one of La Quinta's famous greens.

Binge drinking is a problem that has been noticed nowadays in many teenagers and youngsters. Whether it is at an event or a party, drinking high doses of alcohol in one sitting is known as binge drinking.
Binge Drinking in Women Is Different from Men
Binge drinking for men is the consumption of more than five alcoholic beverages in one sitting. But the case is different for women. For women binge drinking is defined as a woman consuming more than four alcoholic beverages in a single sitting. Also, it has been found in a survey that almost 75% of the binge drinkers are college students. Among these, the ratio of men is much higher than women.
What Leads to Binge Drinking?
- Lack of control: One of the most common reasons is, of course, the lack of control. When such a person comes in contact with alcohol, they tend to over drink because they have no control over their drinking.
- The weekend fun: Secondly, another reason is seen in the case of youngsters between the age of 18 years to 35 years. These are youngsters who have a tendency of meeting friends and going out on weekends after the week's toil. They know that after this weekend they will be able to enjoy their favorite bottle only in the next weekend. Hence, they binge drink.
Results of Binge Drinking
It becomes difficult to check how much alcohol will affect a person, because it depends on various factors, such as height, weight, age and also at times, alcohol tolerance of the person. But of course, there are some common results of binge drinking. Some of such results are:
- Unintended and unprotected sex leading to pregnancy or even STD in some cases
- Accidents that may lead to severe injuries and even death at times
- Physical or mental assault of others that the person may regret later on.
When Is Help Required?
When the person has a habit of driving after drinking, neglecting family and doing harm to others as well, help is surely needed. Here, short 4-5 sessions with a therapist may help. A regular drinking habit is no doubt a reason to worry. But binge drinking is another reason that can lead to bigger problems and hence, needs to be examined closely too.
Anxiety is a very normal emotion, which gives rise to feelings of nervousness every now and then. An anxiety disorder is a serious medical condition in which people experience a high degree of distress and mental trauma, which causes difficulties in leading a normal life. People suffering from this medical condition experience high levels of anxiety and nervousness almost all the time. Here are the symptoms that indicate you're suffering from anxiety disorder.
1. Excessive worry - This condition persists if you worry about the day to day activities a bit too much on a regular basis. It is identified when you start taking too much stress about very petty things, which tends to affect you in an adverse manner. A noticeable sign of excessive worry can be too much fatigue.
2. Sleep problems - Problems falling asleep at the right time and problems in maintaining a sound sleep are two signs that indicate you have an anxiety disorder.
3. Irrational fears - This symptom is not generalized; instead, it is specific and subjective in relation to a particular thing or situation. The fears that are experienced under this category are sudden and unexpected in nature and there is no fixed rationale behind these fears.
4. Muscle tension - Muscle discomfort and pain is one of the leading physiological causes of an anxiety disorder. The pain felt is chronic and pervasive, and is very common among people facing situations of anxiety. If you are exposed to constant periods of anxiety, you will experience fatigue, muscle pains and unwillingness to work.
5. Chronic indigestion - Problems related to the digestive system are also a sign of anxiety disorder. In this case, you may face constant digestive problems accompanied by a common disorder called IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). IBS refers to an anxiety situation in the digestive tract, which is characterized by stomach aches, cramping, bloating, gas, constipation, and/or diarrhea.
Apart from the above-mentioned symptoms, other symptoms of an anxiety disorder include stage fright, self- consciousness, panic attacks, memory flashbacks, perfectionism, compulsive behaviors, self- doubt, and such others.
Fear, anxiety and stress can often lead humans to either escape the situation or fight it by defending themselves. But there are other behaviours that humans turn to when they are under stress. This is not unnatural at all; we all face it at some point in time. What's more, even dogs revert to the four Fs when under stress. Let us find out what are they and also how to deal with them.
- Fight: Fighting back is the natural reaction, which we turn to when we want to defend ourselves. Shouting at someone might give you some confidence for the time being. But again, it is not a permanent solution. We might end up apologising for our behaviour later but do nothing to address the situation that brought about that kind of behaviour.
- Flight: This is the escape mode that we turn to when we want to avoid a certain person or scenario, that might lead to stress. However, it must be remembered that, fleeing stress will help in fixing it temporarily. But since the situation remains unchanged, it will keep happening again and again.
- Freeze: For some people, the shock is so overwhelming that it becomes difficult for them to react at all. They simply freeze. The person goes into the panic mode and fails to move or say anything.
- Fool around: This option seems to be not a very bad idea in times of stress and anxiety depending on exactly what you mean by fooling around. If you can crack a joke at a tensed situation and lighten the mood, it helps immensely. However, if your idea of fooling around is to avoid talking about the situation and instead have fun, talk about other silly things, then it might not be a good idea.
Dealing with stress is not easy, but if you have realised the cause for your stress, your problem is half solved. If it is something you can change, then start working on it. If not, then it is best to let things happen in their own sweet way, while you change your attitude towards it. If you have realised what kind of behaviour your turn to when under stress, it is easier to face the situation. Listen to some of your favourite music, wear clothes that make you feel good and think about the situation and the possible solution later. Don't let stress get to you, face situations, keep calm and be positive!
I have a boyfriend who was lovely and caring before. Now he has changed after 10 months of being together. He used to call me alot but now he never calls and when I call him sometimes he answers, sometimes not. When he answers he is normal and fine. When he do not answer he never calls back. I asked him so many times what happened and all he is saying that he is so busy. I do not know what to do I feel worried and sad and I lost my appetite. What should I do?
At some point I start having panic attacks and I feel my self shaking and trembling, which makes me start crying sometimes. I feel loss of breath. Somethings make me fear a lot. What can I do? Any medications if you can suggest?
A panic attack is a sudden fit of anxiety or fear. In this situation, a person's heart starts pounding and they are unable to breathe. Sometimes, they may even feel like throwing up or even dying. It may even make a person withdraw from their daily routine and reach a point of hopelessness. If left untreated, these panic attacks can lead to a panic disorder. These attacks can have more physical symptoms including shaking, nausea, dry mouth, sweating or dizziness.
There are certain medications and treatments to cure this disorder. These include antidepressants and benzodiazepines, which are anti-anxiety medications. Taking them brings rapid relief, however; these are highly addictive and can have certain withdrawal symptoms. To avoid medications, there are certain self-help tips to cope with the problem. These include:
- Avoid smoking, alcohol and caffeine. These are substances that can provoke your panic attacks.
- Learn how to control your breathing while you are experiencing an attack. Deep breathing can relieve the symptoms that come with this disorder. This can help you calm down.
- Practice relaxation techniques such as yoga and meditation. These strengthen the body's ability to respond to situations that can cause anxiety. Not only do they release stress but they also increase the feelings of joy and happiness.
- Try to exercise regularly. It is a natural anxiety reliever. Therefore, one should exercise in any form, for at least thirty minutes a day.
- You should try to get as much sleep as possible. Insufficient amounts of sleep can make the anxiety even worse. Dancing, swimming or cycling can be highly effective.
- Try not to stay alone. Anxiety levels and the chances of a panic attack are high when you are alone. If you feel that you do not have anyone to go to or turn to, try to explore ways to meet and build supportive relationships.
- Go to a therapist or a psychologist to vent out your feelings and anxieties. This can help you by giving you a cathartic release and get over your pent up emotions.
If someone is suffering from a panic disorder, make sure that you do not let it go unnoticed because people who suffer from this condition usually like to keep it to themselves. This smothers them even further and leaves them at a great risk and vulnerability. Those who have this condition should try to seek medical or psychological help in order to feel better.
Panic disorders are very dangerous and unpredictable. These can mess with your work and performance. In order to avoid that, keep noticing the signs and symptoms and reach for the correct type of medical or clinical attention. Ignoring such a condition can hamper your future and lead to a lot of other allied health problems. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can ask a free question.
Social anxiety disorder is a chronic mental health condition in which a person has excessive and unreasonable fear of certain social situations. Anxiety and self-consciousness arise from a fear of being scrutinized, embarrassed or judged by others. The fear may be made worse by a lack of social skills or experience in social situations. This persistent anxiety can build into a panic attack, and the affected person may start avoiding social situations under extreme distress. People with social anxiety disorder also suffer anticipatory anxiety, which is the fear of a situation even before it happens. In many cases, the person is aware that the fear is unreasonable and overblown, yet is unable to overcome it.
Like many other mental health conditions, social anxiety disorder arises from a complex interaction of environment and genes. The possible causes are:
- Inherited traits - Genetic factors may contribute to the development of social anxiety disorder if it is present in a first-degree relative (parents, siblings or child).
- Brain structure - Nuclei shaped part of the brain called amygdala may play a role in controlling the fear response. People with overactive amygdala may have a heightened fear response, increasing anxiety in social situations.
- Environmental factors - Social anxiety disorder may be a learned behavior. You may develop the condition after witnessing the anxious behavior of others. Also, there may be an association between social anxiety disorder and overprotective parents wanting to control their children.
Social anxiety disorder is the second most common type of anxiety disorder, which most often surfaces in adolescence or early adulthood. It is more common in women than in men. There is no way to predict what will cause social anxiety disorder, but some steps can be taken to reduce the impact of symptoms by getting help early instead of delaying, managing stress in daily life and avoiding unhealthy substances like alcohol, drugs and caffeine.

Delusional disorder refers to the condition in which an individual experiences non-bizarre delusions that are beliefs in things that aren't actually true. The delusions involve situations that take place in real life like being deceived or stalked, conspired against, etc but in actuality, these situations may be highly exaggerated or not true at all as they involve the misinterpretation of experiences or observations. This health problem tends to take place during the middle or later part of your life and is said to affect women more than men.
What are the symptoms associated with this condition?
There are certain signs that you can look out for to easily identify this condition and there are:
- Delusional thoughts lasting one month and above
- Lack of schizophrenia symptoms except delusions associated with the olfactory and tactile systems
- One's behavior and normal functioning doesn't witness any kind of impairment
- Duration of mood symptoms is short compared to the length of the delusions
- Disorder is not brought on by the use of substances or any medical condition
- Commencement of the disorder can vary from teenage years to later part of adulthood
What causes it to happen?
The root cause of the disorder is still not known, but experts are of the opinion that a variety of biological, genetic, environmental and psychological factors can cause it to occur.
Some of these causes include:
- Genetics: It's said that this disorder can be passed on from parents to children. Additionally, it's more common in individuals whose family members suffer from schizophrenia or one of its types.
- Psychological/ environmental: In addition to drug and alcohol abuse, delusional disorder can also be set off by stress.
- Biological: Abnormalities in certain parts of the brain can lead to this problem. Areas of brain associated with thinking and perception have been found to be connected to delusional symptoms. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Psychiatrist.
The risk of a mental illness increases, if one or more of your family members have a mental disorder, but this increased risk doesn't guarantee that you will develop a mental illness. Not only have some mental illnesses been found to be hereditary in nature, but certain studies have found that some major mental illnesses can be traced to the same genetic variations.
Some hereditary psychiatric disorders are:
- Obsessive compulsive disorder: Obsessive-compulsive disorder or OCD is a disorder of the brain and behavior. A person suffering from OCD has uncontrollable, recurring thoughts and behaviors they cannot stop repeating. Ocd also causes severe anxiety in such people. In 2000, a study conducted by researchers in Washington d. C. And Baltimore concluded that having one or more ocd family member (s) may increase the chances of you developing it too. In 2010, a study tracked down possible chromosomes that may be responsible for OCD.
- Schizophrenia: Schizophrenia is a chronic mental illness that affects and dictates how a person feels, thinks and behaves. Those suffering from schizophrenia may lose touch with reality and experience delusions, hallucinations, thought disorders and movement disorders. It has been seen that people who have an identical twin with schizophrenia are 50% more likely to develop the disorder and those who have one parent suffering from schizophrenia are 18% more likely to inherit the illness.
- Depression: Major depression or clinical depression is a common though severe mood disorder. It is characterized by an episode of sadness or apathy along with other symptoms that last at least for two consecutive weeks. Those suffering from depression may feel helpless and worthless, lose all interest in daily activities or activities they used to enjoy and feel unable to take part in normal day-to-day activities. Other symptoms of depression also include sleep pattern and appetite changes, chronic fatigue, concentration or focus problems and physical discomfort. Some patients with depression may become suicidal.
In 2011, a study pinned down a specific chromosome that may trigger depression development. Research on the hereditary properties of depression within families shows that some people are more prone to develop the disorder than others. If you have a parent or sibling that suffers from depression, you might be 1.5 to 3 times more likely to develop depression than those who do not have a close family member suffering from this condition. You are also more prone to developing bipolar disorder in such a scenario. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Psychiatrist.
What is the symptoms of mental illness. My 32 year old sister-in-law's mood is continuously changing sometimes she is happy n sometime she is sad without any reason during this she does not talk to anyone.
When you're under fire at work, juggling multiple responsibilities at home, or going through a difficult time emotionally, these are the foods you should reach for.
You should strive to eat these foods regularly (not just in times of stress) to help maintain mental, emotional, and physical balance in your body.
1. Dark chocolate
- If you're one of these individuals who get a nice mood boost whenever you sink your teeth into a bar of pure, unadulterated chocolate, it is not happenstance.
- There's actually a chemical reason called anandamide, a neurotransmitter produced in your brain that temporarily blocks feelings of pain and depression.
- It's a derivative of the sanskrit word" bliss" and one of the great things about chocolate is that it not only produces this compound, it also contains other chemicals that prolong the" feel-good" aspects of anandamide. Chocolate has even been referred to as" the new anti-anxiety drug"
- One study in the journal of psychopharmacology2 also revealed that people who drank an antioxidant-rich chocolate drink equal to about 1.5 ounces of dark chocolate daily felt calmer than those who did not.
2. Protein
A small amount of high-quality source of protein – like organic eggs, a piece of gouda cheese, or a handful of macadamia nuts or pecans – helps keep your blood sugar levels steady for enhanced energy and mood.
3. Bananas
Bananas contain dopamine, a natural reward chemical that boosts your mood. They're also rich in b vitamins, including vitamin b6, which help soothe your nervous system, and magnesium, another nutrient associated with positive mood.
4. Coffee
Coffee appears to affect a number of neurotransmitters related to mood control, so drinking a morning cup could have an effect on your general sense of wellbeing. Research has also shown that coffee triggers a mechanism in your brain that releases bdnf, which activates your brain stem cells to produce new neurons, thereby improving your brain health.
Interestingly enough, research also suggests that low bdnf levels may play a significant role in depression, and that increasing neurogenesis has an antidepressant effect! 3
5. Turmeric (curcumin)
Curcumin, the pigment that gives the spice turmeric its yellow-orange color, is thought to be responsible for many of its medicinal effects. Among them, curcumin has neuroprotective properties and may enhance mood and possibly help with depression. 4
6. Purple berries
Anthocyanins are the pigments that give berries like blueberries and blackberries their deep color. These antioxidants aid your brain in the production of dopamine, a chemical that is critical to coordination, memory function, and your mood.
7. Omega-3 fats
Found in salmon or supplement form, such as krill oil, the omega-3 fats epa and dha play a role in your emotional well-being. One study in brain behavior and immunity5 showed a dramatic 20 percent reduction in anxiety among medical students taking omega-3, while past research has shown omega-3 fats work just as well as antidepressants6 in preventing the signs of depression, but without any of the side effects.
8. Oolong tea
Sipping oolong tea might help you feel calm, as it contains high levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (gaba), an amino acid that helps inhibit the firing of neurons in your brain for an overall calming, anti-anxiety effect.
9. Fermented foods
- Fermented foods like fermented vegetables and kefir are rich in beneficial bacteria that have a marked impact on your gut health, which in turn impacts your mood. Your gut is literally your second brain – created from the identical tissue as your brain during gestation – and contains larger amounts of the neurotransmitter serotonin, which is associated with mood control.
- Beneficial bacteria have a direct effect on brain chemistry, transmitting mood- and behavior-regulating signals to your brain via your vagus nerve. For instance, the probiotic lactobacillus rhamnosus was found to have a marked effect on gaba levels in certain brain regions and lowered the stress-induced hormone corticosterone, resulting in reduced anxiety- and depression-related behavior.
10. Kiwifruit
One kiwifruit contains more than 85 percent of the daily recommended amount of vitamin c, and that's good news for your stress levels. Vitamin c actually helps reduce your body's production of stress hormones8 while boosting your immune function (so much the better for warding off stress-induced illness)
All individuals get nervous or anxious at some point of time or the other due to a plethora of reasons. But for some individuals, anxiety becomes so frequent and forceful, that it overpower their lives. Normal anxiety is often short lived, but the feeling may last for few hours. However, an anxiety problem becomes an anxiety disorder when anxious feelings are very intense and last for weeks or months. Anxiety disorder exists in different forms like panic attacks, social anxiety and phobia.
The most common form of anxiety is Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) during which an individual worries too much about everyday things and situations, both large and small. The person in this condition has persistent anxious thoughts on most days of the week, for six months. Moreover, the anxiety is so overpowering that it interferes with daily life and is coupled by noticeable symptoms like fatigue. The anxiety level goes to such an extent that causes a lot of dysfunction and suffering. If a person suffers from sleep problems and finds himself regularly awake and agitated or worried, then it is a tell-tale sign of generalized anxiety disorder. This is followed by a situation when one wakes up overstimulated with mind racing and one is unable to calm down.
When the anxiety is tied to a specific situation and the fear is overwhelming and out of proportion to the actual risks then the condition is phobia. This can be due to anything ranging from crowd, animals to flying in an aeroplane or using an escalator. Muscle tension like clenching of jaw or fists or flexing of muscles though out the body always accompanies anxiety disorders. Regular exercise can help keep muscle tension under control, but the tension may get triggered up if an injury or other unforeseen event disrupts a person's workout habits. Panic disorder is repeated, unexpected panic attacks where one encounters panic in a situation where most people wouldn't be afraid. Anxiety also leads to chronic digestive problems like cramping and bloating of stomach.
Social phobia or social anxiety disorder occurs when one develops an intense fear of being judged or embarrassed in public. People with social anxiety disorder have a tendency to worry for weeks leading to an event or situation. When and if they manage it, they tend to be deeply uncomfortable and are always judgemental about it. In case of social anxiety disorder, the anxiety is triggered by everyday situations like one-on-one conversation at a get-together, or eating and drinking in front of small group. The person feels that everybody is watching him and experiences profuse sweating, trembling, nausea and person becomes tongue-tied. These disruptions make it hard for the person to meet new people and maintain relationships.
Panic disorder causes terrifying panic attacks when the person experiences a sudden gripping feeling of fear and helplessness which lasts for several minutes. It is generally accompanied with scary symptoms like breathing problems, a pounding heart, numb hands and sweating.
Excessive fear of being separated from home or a loved one is separation anxiety disorder. Post -traumatic stress disorder is an anxiety disorder in which the patient relives a disturbing or traumatic event like a violent encounter, the sudden death of a loved one.
An anxiety disorder affects the thinking, feelings as well as behaviour of a normal person. It's important to seek professional help if one see any of the warning signs of anxiety disorders in an individual.
A close relationship enhances the happiness in our lives. One may feel at some point of time that things are not working well as one would like them to, but with minor tweaks here and there gets things back on the regular track. By identifying problems early enough in a relationship, allows us to overcome challenges before the problems take on overwhelming proportions.
- Taking one's partner for granted: With the maturity of relationships, a tendency creeps up to assume that it's fine to let the normal details of life slip and slide. It becomes very easy to dismiss the people one is closest to because one expects them to be there in all circumstances. One must reflect on what life would be like without one's partner to avoid this situation.
- Constant worry whether partner cares for you: If a person constantly worries about whether partner really cares about him or her,it is counterproductive. It is important to give space to both individuals else the excessive need for affection and reassurance will drive the partner away. After a person and the partner establish commitment to each other, it should not be necessary for one to keep questioning and wondering whether one's partner honestly cares.
- Slippage of boundaries slip around relationship: There are bound to be secrets within a close relationship and letting others into one's private world erodes partner's feelings of trust in relationship. If the partner finds out, he or she will feel betrayed or humiliated.
- Complaining about your partner to everyone except him: Sharing one's unhappiness with anyone who will listen except the partner is counter-productive
- Turning on the passive-aggressive switch: One may think it's safer not to out rightly object to a request or disagree with something one's partner says but by not letting partner know how one really feel, one is closing a door of communication
- Constantly questioning your relationship: Questioning one's relationship means that one has a doubt that the relationship will last, and therefore may be less likely to feel comfortable about commitments one make about the future.
- Giving up on one's partner: Everyone goes through challenges of losing a job, health problems, or dealing with an addiction. It's at those difficult times one's partner needs a good cheer and support, but those times also makes one stressed. One's confidence and support will help ease partner's pain, but may be just what's needed to help partner summon up the resources to overcome the challenge.

I have a page where users click on a small thumbnail image to view a larger version of the image in a new window. But instead of just viewing the image file, I want them to view an HTML page that contains the image and a "Close Window" button. I know how to do that, and I know how to specify the size of the popup window. But...
What I'm trying to do is make the popup window just big enough for the image and the button, with perhaps a 10 pixel border around it. Since the images will vary in size, I can't hard code the width and height properties of the popup window. I need to have JavaScript measure the height and width of the image to calculate the dimensions for the popup window (and presumable this would have to be done before it opens the new window). Can anyone help? Thanks!!
I dont think it is possible for javascript to measure the dimensions of an image. Here is an alternative way you could do it:

Aren't you just passing the values of the image/link to the popup window? And, wasn't the original question about opening a popup with a larger image on a page and a close button/link? This would seem to open the original image into a popup window with 50px around it.
You have to forgive me, I'm relatively new to javascript. Am I seeing this correctly?
Yes, you are. However, to do exactly what Phil-Man wanted, he'd have to store some kind of value in the database to seperate the thumbnail from the large image.
Or, he could re-size the image to a certain size, and then use GetImageSize() to grab the real size - however the thumbnails would take just as long to load as the actual image.
Thanks for confirming. That was a slick piece of code though.
No problem - and thanks very much. Ya wanna know what's really sad? That's probably the most complex JavaScript I've ever written...LOL.

There has been so much buzz lately about Darren Aronofsky's Noah and various other biblical projects in the works, that I almost forgot that Will Smith was attached to star in a movie about Cain a couple years ago. Yesterday, however, Deadline Hollywood brought it back to mind by reporting that Smith might not only star in the film, but direct it as well. (If he does, it would mark his feature directorial debut; his only previous turn in the director's chair, as far as the IMDb is concerned, was for a 2006 episode of All of Us.)
There's a twist, though. Two years ago, the movie was called The Legend of Cain and it was said that the film would be an "epic re-telling of the Biblical sibling tale, this time with a vampiric twist." Whether that meant Cain himself was going to be the vampire, or simply someone who battles a lot of vampires (a la Smith's similarly-named film I Am Legend), was never clarified, as far as I can tell.

i can never be fucked with these long one hour per show series... i've not bothered with House, Prison Break, Lost, The Sopranos, The Wire, Sons of Anarchy, Band of Brothers or any of those shows that are meant to be 'must watch' (though i'm sure i'll get to some of them eventually) but just watched the first episode of Game of Thrones and rather enjoyed it
The mind of the believer stagnates. It fails to grow outward into an unlimited, infinite universe.
Guessing you meant The Walking Dead
I thought Game of Thrones was a bit shit really!
the dialogue doesn't seem to fit the medieval type theme but i think it's good entertainment... well shot, good cast, strong enough premise to allow for interesting characters and plot developments
it does seem like it's aimed at young geeks though (guilty): fantasy setting, sword play, tonnes of blood, tits out and doggy style sex all over the shop... what more could you want?
The mind of the believer stagnates. It fails to grow outward into an unlimited, infinite universe.
I'm Sky+ the second episode to give it another try, hope it improves.
Anyone watching V?
Just watched the first 2 Game of Thrones and it is quite good. Better than I was expecting! Needs more Dinklage though.
The new V is gash of the higherst order.
Hawaii five -0 2010, Just watched the first episode and was impressed. It has gained good reviews from the critics.
found this website which streams nearly every show about. http://www.cijeo.com/home
Hawaii five 0 - watched most of the season is good, quite interesting etc
Onion Sports Dome - some yank piss take sports news show, is fucking hilarious, is where the mma fighters banned for having metal fists came from.
Archer - Animated adult cartoon, about a spy or whatever is pretty good.
Blue Mountain State - comedy about american college football is very good
